    Before a rich man dies, he will remember to call his son and loyal servants to his side.  Then he told his son that he should take good care of the family business, and if there was anything he didn¡¯t understand, he should ask his loyal servants.  This is obvious.  In fact, before they die, many rich people will not only designate a loyal servant to their son on the surface, but also tell him some people he can rely on secretly.  The purpose is to prevent loyal servants from rebelling against the master, so that his son can fight back.  Even if a mere rich man is like this, as a king of his generation, Zhu Houzhao, who is well versed in the power of emperors, is it possible that only one person like Jiang Xia will be left to Zhu Zaijiang?  The answer is naturally no.  In the westernmost corner of the Five Qianxi Palaces, there is a very inconspicuous palace courtyard.  Under normal circumstances, few people come to this palace courtyard, because the people who live here are the maids and eunuchs who are too old to do anything anymore, so they stay here to wait for death.  These palace maids and eunuchs have no relatives at home. In addition, they have grown up in the palace since childhood and are accustomed to the environment in the palace, so they have never wanted to leave.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because all the people living here are elderly people in their twilight years, so there is always an aura of death here, which makes people feel disliked when they get close to it, and a feeling of boredom will naturally arise in their hearts.  feeling.  Of course, on weekdays, the little eunuch in charge of the food department will still bring food to this place, so it cannot be said to be inaccessible.  It just means that few outsiders come here on weekdays.  But today, a man wearing a dark red straight coat and Qingyun Shu brocade thousand-layer cloth boots came here.  The man wore a silver mask, and his identity could be known without any introduction.  ¡°The one who can move around freely in the entire palace and wears a silver mask is not Zhu Zaijiang, who else could it be?  When Zhu Zaijiang walked to the entrance of Mu Yuyuan, his footsteps paused.  It could be seen from his struggling eyes that it was not because he didn't like Mu Yuyuan's aura of twilight, but because he was a little undecided as to whether he should enter Mu Yuyuan.  It seems that there is someone or something that has a great influence on him hidden in Mu Yuyuan Zhu Zaijiang hesitated for about as long as a cup of tea. Finally, he stepped across the threshold of Mu Yuyuan and walked out.  Got in.  The name Muyuyuan was given by a knowledgeable eunuch during the Yongle period.  Although the name is somewhat poetic, but coupled with the function of Mu Yuyuan, it can't help but make people feel a little sad.  Walking into the garden, you can see everywhere the old eunuch holding the hand of the old palace maid, telling each other something.  Occasionally, the old palace maid would burst into laughter, patting the old eunuch's shoulder gently like an eighteenth-year-old girl. I don't know what the old eunuch said to the old palace maid.  Zhu Zaijiang walked all the way in and reached the deepest part of Mu Yuyuan.  Behind an old locust tree, there is a small courtyard made entirely of huanghuali wood.  This wood grows slowly and is particularly valuable.  Generally, it is already too luxurious to make furniture, let alone build a house.  Outside the small courtyard is a playground paved with bluestone slabs.  There is a vegetable garden next to the playground. Next to the vegetable garden, there is an old man in gray cloth sitting on a small-leaf rosewood rocking chair. He has his eyes closed and is concentrating. He does not know whether he is awake.  Still asleep.  Zhu Zaijiang approached, and suddenly the old man opened his eyes.  Strange to say, the old man¡¯s face is obviously wrinkled and his hair is gray.  But the moment he opened his eyes, Zhu Zaijiang felt like his mind was being filmed, and a cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.  It seemed that if that glance were a little harder, he would kill me.  The old man said: "Baby, what do you mean when you come to Zajia's house?" Although Zhu Zaijiang was startled by the old man's eyes at first, he calmed down immediately.  With this look alone, he was basically sure that he was not wrong.  Zhu Zaijiang took a slight breath, and then sighed.  He took out his right hand behind his back.  The old man didn¡¯t think anything was wrong at first, but soon his eyes were fixed on the thumb of Zhu Zaijiang¡¯s right index finger.  The jade quality of the thumb ring is not very good, but it looks like it has some age.  If it's special, maybe the only special thing is the word "Chongba" on the finger surface.  There is another special thing, that is, ordinary people wear finger spanners on their thumbs, but Zhu Zaijiang wears them on his index finger.  The old man stared blankly at the ring finger and murmured to himself: "'Eight heavy fingers', finally I can leave this ghost place" After saying that, the old man immediately jumped up from the rocking chair, his movement skills were very impressive.  Dexterous and agile.  As soon as he stood up, he knelt down on the ground, saluted Zhu Zaijiang and said: "Slave Li Bayi, please see your Majesty.?Long live my emperor.  " "See the Emperor", Zhu Zaijiang felt an indescribable feeling of relief in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly understood that in his bones, he was actually so obsessed with the identity of the emperor. Zhu Zaijiang waved his hands and said: "Sit down.  .  " "Thank you, Your Majesty.  "Li Bayi stood up. Zhu Zaijiang took out a token from his arms with the word "protect the dragon" written on it. He handed the token to Li Bayi: "You also understand that unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not  Will come to you.  Go and gather people together. You are the only ones I can rely on now.  " "Yes, slave, I obey.  "Li Bayi bowed his body respectfully and took the Dragon Protection Token from Zhu Zaijiang with both hands. Then Li Bayi said: "Your Majesty, that slave will retire first.  " Zhu Zaijiang nodded slightly, but before he could react, Li Bayi had already risen from the spot and jumped to the roof of his small courtyard. Then he saw him move a few times, and then disappeared. Seeing this  At this scene, Zhu Zaijiang couldn't help but smile a little Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Besides, Jiang Xia seemed to live in Prince Qi's Mansion after taking over Taiyuan.  He didn't realize at all that he only brought 18,000 people, not 108,000. Jiang Xia seemed to have no reaction at all when Xiao Qing came to Shanxi with a clear banner and a large army. Instead, he started building construction in Taiyuan.  , seems to be preparing to repair Prince Qi's palace. Jiang Xia naturally knows the news, otherwise Qianmen, which he has worked hard for so many years, would be just a joke. Xiao Qing also knows Jiang Xia's reaction.  Otherwise, his identity as the leader of the four powerful clans and the new generation of the Xiao family is a joke. It was Jiang Xia's reaction that made Xiao Qing confirm his plan.  The purpose of rushing to Shanxi was to see if Jiang Xia was nervous or scared. Now that he was so calm, Xiao Qing was sure that there was a ghost in Shanxi.  He only brought 18,000 people to Shanxi, but in fact he also arranged for a secret army to sneak into Shanxi. If he really went there, he would definitely fall into the trap. So Xiao Qing finally decided to use his people.  The way is to treat his own body, and simply divide the troops into two groups. One group pretends to be the main force and goes to Shanxi to prevent Jiang Xia from returning to Beijing. The other group moves forward in a low-key manner and takes the real main force to attack the capital.  Going to the capital and killing Jiang Xia are both of great significance to Xiao Qing. At present, it seems that taking the capital is easier than killing Jiang Xia. Whether this is the case remains to be seen.  Waiting for the conclusion. I remember this sentence in Mu Xin¡¯s classic poem "Slow in the Past", "The sun has become slow in the past. Cars, horses, and mails are all slow. You can only love one person in your life."  ¡± In fact, it¡¯s not just that. In the past, marching was also very slow, so we often heard that a battle lasted for several years. In fact, it probably took nearly half a year just to walk. Jiang Xia didn¡¯t pay attention to Xiao Qing.  Whether to come to Shanxi to fight for himself, or to go north to fight for the capital. He settled in Taiyuan peacefully, and while carrying out large-scale construction projects, he was interested in rectifying people's livelihood. Having been in charge of the Ming Dynasty for more than seven years, Jiang Xia knew very well about rectifying people's livelihood.  What should be done. Eliminate the bandits in Shanxi, re-register the people, and then distribute agricultural crops and tools, and distribute transitional rations and money In just one or two months, there may not be much movement in Shanxi.  But great changes have begun to take place near Taiyuan. More and more people have come to live near Taiyuan. In the past, I only heard that Jiangxia was so wise and brave, and now the people of Shanxi really do.  Feeling all this. Although the war was about to break out, Ming Dynasty suddenly seemed to fall into a rare peace in recent times. However, in this peace, Jiang Xia received a flying pigeon from the capital.  Passing the letter. Seeing the flying pigeon passing the letter, Jiang Xia's heart suddenly hurt, because the letter said that Cui Ziwei, who lived in Lengyue Palace, committed suicide by jumping into the well at night when the guards were not paying attention.  Of course, Jiang Xia didn't care about her life and death. But in Cui Ziwei's belly, she was carrying Zhu Zaijiang's only flesh and blood. When she died, Jiang Xia could imagine Zhu Zaijiang's heartache. Jiang Xia quickly wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent back to the capital.  Give it to Zhu Zaijiang.At the end of Master Chongguang Road, inside a house.  Zhu Zaijiang was looking at Cui Ziwei lying on the bed. He looked back at Li Bayi, as if asking: "Why aren't you awake yet?" Li Bayi also looked back, and there was obviously someone still standing behind him.  An old man.  The old man bowed slightly and said: "If you want to return to your Majesty, the antidote of the Seven Soul Pills usually takes twelve hours to be fully exerted. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your Majesty will definitely not have any problems."
