Before the rich man died, he would remember to call his son and loyal servant to his side. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info then told his son to take good care of the family business, and if there is something he doesn't understand, ask more loyal servants. This is on the bright side.

In fact, before they die, many rich people will not only appoint a loyal servant for their son on the surface, but also tell him that he can rely on some people secretly. In order to prevent loyal servants from rebelling against their masters, their own sons can also have the power to fight back.

As a generation of kings, Zhu Houzhao, who is well versed in the art of imperial power, can it be that he will only leave Zhu Zaijiang with such a person as Jiangxia? The answer is naturally no.

In the westernmost corner of the five Qianxi institutes, there is a very inconspicuous palace. Under normal circumstances, few people come to this palace, because the people who live here are some palace maids and eunuchs who are too old to do things anymore, so they stay here and wait for death.

These palace maids and eunuchs have no relatives at home, and they have grown up in the palace since they were children and are used to the environment in the palace, so they have always been reluctant to leave.

I don't know if it's because all the people who live here are old people in their twilight years, so there is always a dead air invisibly here, which makes people feel very disliked as soon as they get closer, and a sense of boredom will naturally rise in their hearts.

Of course, on weekdays, there will still be a little eunuch in charge of the food supervisor in this place to bring food, so it can't be said to be inaccessible. It's just that there are very few outsiders on weekdays.

But today, a man wearing a dark red straight-body robe and stepping on Qingyun Shu brocade mille-feuille bottom cloth boots came here. The man wears a silver mask, and he doesn't need to be introduced to know his identity.

In the entire palace, the one who can come and go freely, and wears a silver mask, is not Zhu Zaijiang, who else can it be?

When Zhu Zaijiang walked to the entrance of the Dusk Rain Garden, his footsteps paused. It could be seen from his struggling eyes that it was not because he didn't like the dying atmosphere of the Dusk Garden, but that he was a little unsure whether he should enter the Dusk Garden or not.

Seem...... In this twilight rain garden, there are people or things hidden that have a great influence on him......

Zhu Zaijiang hesitated for about a cup of tea, and finally he raised his feet and stepped over the threshold of Dusk Yuyuan and walked in.

The name Duyu Yuan was given by a knowledgeable eunuch during the Yongle period. Although the name is a bit poetic, with the function of Dusk Rain Garden, it can't help but make people feel a little sad.

Walking into the garden, you can see everywhere that the old eunuch is holding the hand of the old palace maid, next to each other and telling something. Occasionally, the old palace maid would laugh and be coquettish, gently patting the old eunuch's shoulder like an eighteen girl, and I didn't know what the old eunuch said to the old palace maid.

Zhu Zaijiang went all the way inside and walked to the deepest part of the Dusk Rain Garden.

Behind an old locust tree, a small courtyard is completely made of rosewood. This wood grows slowly and is especially precious. Generally, it is too luxurious to make furniture, let alone to build a house.

Outside the small courtyard, there is a playground paved with bluestone slabs. There was a vegetable garden on the side of the playground, and next to the vegetable garden, there was an old man in gray cloth, sitting on a rocking chair with small leaves of rosewood, closing his eyes and resting his mind, and I didn't know whether he was awake or already asleep.

Zhu Zaijiang approached, and suddenly the old man opened his eyes.

Strange to say, the old man was obviously wrinkled and gray-haired. But the moment his eyes opened, Zhu Zaijiang had a feeling that his mind was being photographed, and a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. It seems that if that glance is pushed harder, he will be "looked" to death.

The old man said: "Doll, come to the miscellaneous family, what is the so-called matter?"

Although Zhu Zaijiang was startled by the old man's eyes for the first time, his mood calmed down immediately. With just this one look, he can basically be sure that he is not wrong.

Zhu Zaijiang took a slight breath, and then sighed. He took out his right hand behind his back at once.

The old man didn't think anything at first, but soon his eyes were locked on the wrench of Zhu Zaijiang's right index finger. The jade quality of the wrench is not very good, but it looks like it should be a few years old. If it is said to be special, perhaps the only special place is the word "heavy eight" on the face of the wrench.

There is also a special place, that is, ordinary people wear wrenches, which are worn on the thumb, while Zhu Zaijiang is worn on the index finger.

The old man looked at the wrench in a daze, and muttered to himself: "'Heavy eight fingers', finally the old man can leave this ghost place......

After saying that, the old man immediately bounced up from the rocking chair, and his body seemed to be very dexterous and agile. As soon as he stood up, he knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Zaijiang: "Slave Li Bayi, see the emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live." ”

The sound of "see the emperor" made Zhu Zaijiang feel an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart when he heard it. At this moment, he suddenly realized that in his bones, he was actually so obsessed with the identity of the emperor.

Zhu Zaijiang waved his hand and said, "Let's flat." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Li Bayi stood up.

Zhu Zaijiang took out a token from his arms, on which was written the word "Protecting the Dragon". He handed the token to Li Bayi: "You also understand that I will not come to you unless I have to." Go and gather the people together, and you are the only ones I can rely on now. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey. Li Bayi bent respectfully and took the dragon protection token in Zhu Zaijiang's hand with both hands.

Then Li Bayi said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid retired first." ”

Zhu Zaijiang bowed slightly, and before he could react, Li Bayi had already risen on the spot and jumped onto the roof of his small courtyard. Then I saw him move a few times, and his figure disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Zaijiang's eyes finally couldn't help but show a little smile......

Two flowers bloom and one branch each, and then talk about Shanxi.

After Jiangxia took Taiyuan, he lived in the palace of King Qi. He seemed completely unaware that he had brought only eighteen thousand, not one hundred and eighteen.

For Xiao Qing with a clear banner and a large army, he came to Shanxi with great fanfare. Jiang Xia didn't seem to react at all, but instead built a lot of construction in Taiyuan, and seemed to be ready to repair the Qi Palace.

The news that Xiao Qing rushed to Shanxi, Jiang Xia naturally knew, otherwise the Qianmen that he had worked hard for so many years would be just a joke.

And Jiang Xia's reaction, Xiao Qing is also clear. Otherwise, his identity as the head of the four major valves and the new generation of the Xiao family's valve owners is also a joke.

It was Jiang Xia's reaction that made Xiao Qing determine a plan in his heart.

The reason why he rushed to Shanxi with a large army with great fanfare was essentially to see if Jiangxia would be nervous and afraid.

Now seeing that he is so calm, Xiao Qing is sure that there are ghosts in Shanxi. In his opinion, if his expectations were not bad, Jiang Xia should have only brought 18,000 people to Shanxi on the surface, but in fact, he also arranged a dark army to quietly rush to Shanxi to lurk.

If you really go, you must be in the middle of the scheme.

Therefore, Xiao Qing finally decided to govern his body in the way of others, and simply divided his troops into two ways. All the way, he pretended to be the main army and went to Shanxi to prevent Jiangxia from returning to Beijing.

On the other hand, he moved forward in a low-key manner, with the real main force, and went straight to the Beijing Division.

Taking down Jingshi and killing Jiang Xia, these two things are of great significance to Xiao Qing. At present, it seems that it is easier to take down Jingshi than to kill Jiang Xia. Whether this is the case or not, everything will have to wait for the future to be decided.

I remember that there is such a sentence in Mu Xin's classic poem "Once Upon a Time", "The sun in the past has become slow."

Cars, horses, and mail are slow, and there is only enough to love one person in a lifetime. ”

In fact, not only that, but the march was also very slow in the past, so it is common to hear that a battle was fought for several years. In fact, I am afraid that it took nearly half a year just to walk.

Jiang Xia also didn't care whether Xiao Qing was going to come to Shanxi to fight himself, or to go north to fight Jingshi. He settled in Taiyuan with peace of mind, and while building a large number of buildings, he also came to rectify the people's livelihood.

In the more than seven years he has been in charge of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Xia knows very well what to do about rectifying people's livelihood. Eliminate the bandits and bandits in Shanxi, and re-establish the household registration for the people. Then the seeds and tools were distributed, and transitional rations were distributed, and money was distributed......

In just a month or two, there may not be much movement in Shanxi, but near Taiyuan, great changes have begun to take place.

More and more people have come to live near Taiyuan. In the past, I just listened to how wise Jiangxia was, and loved the people like a son. Now the people of Shanxi have really felt all this.

Although the war was imminent, all of a sudden, Da Ming seemed to have fallen into a peace that had rarely been seen in recent days.

However, in this tranquility, Jiang Xia received a flying pigeon from Jingshi. Seeing the flying pigeon passing the book, Jiang Xia's heart ached suddenly, because the letter said that Cui Ziwei, who lived in the Cold Moon Palace, committed suicide by jumping into a well at night while the guards were not paying attention.

Cui Ziwei's life or death, Jiang Xia naturally didn't care. But Cui Ziwei's stomach is pregnant with Zhu Zaijiang's only flesh and blood, and as soon as she dies, Jiang Xia can imagine Zhu Zaijiang's heartache.

Jiang Xia hurriedly wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it back to Jingshi and hand it over to Zhu Zaijiang.

And at the end of Sogo Road in Jingshi, inside a house. Zhu Zaijiang was looking at Cui Ziwei lying on the bed, he glanced back at Li Bayi, as if asking, "Why aren't you awake?"

Li Bayi also glanced back, and there was obviously an old man standing behind him. The old man bowed slightly and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the antidote to the Seven Souls Pill will generally take twelve hours to fully exert itself, please rest assured that the emperor will definitely not have any problems." ”r1058
