In the golden month of September, the fragrance of osmanthus blooms. In these crisp autumn days, Ming Dynasty had been in chaos for nearly half a year, and finally faced its first huge change. And this change basically means that the chaos in Ming Dynasty is about to end. In September in Shanxi, the weather has begun to turn cooler. During this season, animals will frequently come out and look for food in order to store food for the winter, so this is the best time for hunting. Originally, Jiang Xia came to Taiyuan with 18,000 people, expecting a big battle to be fought. But in the end, the return of Yu Dayou and Ma Yunlong completely reversed the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now around Shanxi, all the scattered forces, large and small, have prepared generous gifts and are crying and clamoring to come to Taiyuan to plead guilty to the Holy Spirit. For these people, Jiang Xia always put away the gifts and only remembered their names without actually meeting them. How could a broad-minded person like Xiang Jiangxia really remember their anger? I only wrote down their names because I wanted to "take care" of them after I really stabilized the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Revenge? Oh, no no no. That's not revenge, it can only be called a small warning. As for accidentally causing someone's family to be ruined and their entire fortune to be ruined. It was just that the people below did not control their efforts well and acted a little too hastily. In the birch forest on the outskirts of Taiyuan Prefecture, nearly ten thousand cavalrymen have surrounded the entire forest for hunting by Jiang Xia and Yuan Hanqiu. I still remember that when Jiang Xia first arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Xia¡¯s first trip on horseback was from the capital to Yunnan. At that time, riding a horse was really a painful thing for him. But after that, he fought in the south and north, went to Annan, entered Mongolia, and experienced life and death several times. Jiang Xia's equestrian skills, riding and shooting, have long reached a very impressive level. As a disciple of a wealthy family, Yuan Hanqiu has been practicing rituals, music, archery, and Shushu since elementary school, which are the six arts of a gentleman. Therefore, he is also very skilled in riding and shooting. The two of them gained a lot in just one afternoon. After returning home with a full load, Jiang Xia and Yuan Hanqiu walked towards the Qi Palace together. On the road, Yuan Hanqiu, who had become increasingly familiar with Jiang Xia, rode alongside him. He first smiled and complimented Jiang Xia: "The emperor is indeed as rumored in the world, and his literary skills and martial arts are unparalleled in the world. Even his riding and shooting skills shocked Han Qiu." Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said: "Flattery is not a good habit." The smile on Yuan Hanqiu's face suddenly froze, but soon Jiang Xia added leisurely: "But I quite like hearing it." "Hahaha" Jiang Xia laughed a few times first. , and then Yuan Hanqiu laughed together. Jiang Xia gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse's speed became faster. Yuan Hanqiu quickly shook the horse's reins to follow. After arriving beside Jiang Xia, Yuan Hanqiu couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the general situation of the world has been decided. Your ascending the throne and proclaiming the emperor is what everyone expects. Do you want to think about it again? Or just simply Just" "Shut up!" Jiang Xia suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, his eyes became sharp. With just this look, Yuan Hanqiu understood that Jiang Xia was definitely not joking with him this time. His breathing couldn't help but become a little rapid. Jiang Xia's pressure on him was too heavy. In the end, Yuan Hanqiu couldn't hold it back anymore, and he dismounted tremblingly and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, what Han Qiu said came from the bottom of his heart, and I hope your Majesty will learn from it." It took a long time. Jiang Xia seemed to have spent a lot of energy and said lightly: "Don't say these words again." After saying that, Jiang Xia shook the reins heavily and shouted: "Drive!" The sweat and blood on his crotch After hearing the sound, the BMW immediately sped up and rushed towards the direction of Prince Qi's palace. At the entrance of Qi Palace, Jiang Xia saw an acquaintance as soon as he arrived. This man is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he seems to have a sense of self-importance without anger. Compared with the image in Jiang Xia's impression, around this man's mouth, there was an extra ring of beard that looked like steel needles standing upside down. He looks more mature and stable. When Jiang Xia saw this person, he couldn't help but feel happy and shouted: "Zhifu!" Yu Dayou was originally facing Jiang Xia from the side, but now he heard Jiang Xia calling his name, so he immediately turned his head. As soon as he saw Jiang Xia, Yu Dayou immediately shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty!" Jiang Xia turned over and dismounted, walked to Yu Dayou's side in two steps and helped him up. Yu Dayou said: "Your Majesty, the general came back late, please forgive me!" Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head: "What crime do you want to give me? You came back neither early nor late, just right." Yu Dayou turned around and looked at where he was standing. Not far away, his deputy Chen Xunqiu was escorting a person with two personal guards. This person is very familiar to Jiang Xia. He is Miao Renhu, who is almost identical to Zhu Zaijiang. Jiang Xia had already seen this person before. At this moment, Yu Dayou looked behind him.Jiang Xia also looked over. When Jiang Xia's eyes met, Miao Renhu, who originally felt that he was about to die, was even more frightened now. He quickly fell to his knees and shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me" "Do you still want to live?" Jiang Xia looked at Miao Renhu and asked. There was a hint of surprise in his tone, which seemed to mean, it's now, and you still have such delusions? Miao Renhu was so frightened that he couldn't even say a whole sentence. But people are often like this. The more urgent the situation, the more potential they can unleash. For example, at this moment, Miao Renhu suddenly cried out with a feeling of happiness: "II still have a way, I still have a way to restore that person's appearance." Miao Renhu originally wanted to say "Your Majesty", but Thinking that Jiang Xia had already proclaimed himself emperor, he was afraid that calling Zhu Zaijiang "emperor" would anger Jiang Xia, so he used "that person" instead in desperation. When Miao Renhu said this, Jiang Xia couldn't understand that he was talking about Zhu Zaijiang's appearance. Jiang Xia was also excited at this time. He grabbed Miao Renhu's lapel and said loudly: "Do you have a way to restore his appearance? What way? Tell me!" Miao Renhu was so frightened by Jiang Xia's angry shout that he was frightened. He hesitated and said: "II have my own way, nobut you have to promise to spare my life when the matter is completed." "Are you threatening me?" Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, showing no murderous intention. Miao Renhu said quickly: "No, no, no I'm not threatening you, I just want you to treat me like a dog and kill me to stain your eyes. Why don't you show kindness and let me go? I promise that from now on After leaving Ming Dynasty, I will never appear again in Ming Dynasty." Jiang Xia was silent for a moment and was about to speak. Suddenly Yu Dayou on the side shouted loudly: "Hey! You dare to pretend to be the late emperor, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of the current emperor. See if I don't kill you!" After saying that, Yu Dayou formed claws with five fingers and directly faced him. He grabbed Miao Renhu by the throat. Miao Renhu screamed and immediately closed his eyes. Yu Dayou's five fingers had already touched Miao Renhu's throat, but he could not move forward another half inch. When he looked again, Jiang Xia was holding his wrist with his right hand. It looked like what was holding Yu Dayou's right hand was not a hand, but a steel claw. Yu Dayou looked at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia happened to look at him. Yu Dayou couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, think twice!" Jiang Xia looked at Yu Dayou, smiled and asked: "If I am really a rebellious minister who bullies his brothers and orphans, and has power and self-respect, you, Yu Dayou, are still willing to follow me?" "Yes!" Yu Dayou replied without hesitation: "Yu Dayou has already given his life to the emperor. No matter how treacherous and unethical the emperor is, Yu Dayou will follow him without any regrets or regrets. Besides, the emperor, Whatever decision you make at this moment is beneficial to the world, the people, and everyone who follows you. You should make a decision. " Jiang Xia sighed, shook his head and said, "The emperor once said that he regards me as his biological father. " Just this sentence made Yu Dayou stunned. Only then did he understand Jiang Xia's feelings for Zhu Zaijiang. A person he had watched, protected, and nurtured since childhood. His feelings for him were no longer a subject and a king, nor an elder brother's entrustment to his brother before his death, but a feeling similar to that of a father and a son. Yu Dayou's hand suddenly loosened, indicating that he no longer wanted to kill Miao Renhu. Jiang Xia also let go of his hand, and then said to Yu Dayou: "Let's go, follow me into the house to bathe and change clothes, and then I will order someone to prepare dinner for you to wash the dust." After saying that, Jiang Xia took Miao Renhu by the hand, Said: "You come with me. If you can really restore his appearance, I promise to spare your life. But if you dare to lie to me, I will let you understand what it means to be unable to live and to die." "Yes, yes. YesI will definitely be able to restore his appearance. Although the steps are a bit complicated, I do have the ability" Jiyang County, Jinan, Shandong. Because Ma Yunlong dared to reach the capital with an army of 100,000, the strength of the capital increased greatly, so he directly led the army to welcome him out of the capital. Xiao Qing had to retreat step by step with his troops, all the way to Jiyang County. ??If we retreat further, we will either go to Shanxi or Zhejiang. Xiao Qing felt that he didn't know what to do. He had already started to ask the Xiao family to transfer his property, and at the same time, he was looking for a similar substitute for him so that he could escape from his shell. And on the fifth day of his temporary stay in Jiyang County, Zhu Zaijiang arrived. Arriving with Zhu Zaijiang was Jiang Bin. The three of them met in the main hall in the backyard of the Jiyang County government office. I don¡¯t know what the reason was. After Jiang Bin saw Zhu Zaijiang, he clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Zaijiang politely and said: "Jiang Bin meets the emperor, may I Long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ???My emperor? "Zhu Zaijiang was a little surprised. Jiang Bin said calmly: "In fact, Jiang Bin has never forgotten the kindness of the late emperor. "
