    In the process of the enthronement ceremony, the first item is to worship heaven and ancestors.  So after Jiang Xia came out of the palace, he went directly to the Ancestral Temple.  Today is the beginning of a new dynasty, and the civil and military officials naturally pay no more attention than usual.  The entire Ancestral Temple is a stranger. Even a fly may not be able to get in.  All the guards responsible for the security of the Imperial Ancestral Temple have their identities and backgrounds checked at all levels.  Only by ensuring that this person has a clean background and is not suspected of being bribed can he be the guard of the Ancestral Temple.  Most importantly, all security measures, civil and military officials, have basically reached their limit.  But if the Tao is as high as the devil, a wise man will make a mistake.  No one thought that the real murderous intention was hidden in the statue of Guiguzi.  "Not only did the civil and military officials not think of it, but even Jiang Xia didn't think of it.  There are different things to pay attention to when offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors in the Ancestral Temple.  A sacrifice to heaven and earth was carried out jointly by the new emperor and all civil and military officials, with the greatest momentum.  For the second worship at the ancestral temple, you only need to lead some ministers to worship together.  After three sacrifices to Sheji, the only ones left with Jiangxia were some officials of fourth rank or above.  Four sacrifices to ancestors.  It stands to reason that this only requires a few core ministers and close relatives of the royal family to accompany them.  But Jiang Xia had no relatives in the Ming Dynasty except his wife, sons and daughters.  Therefore, he brought Yang Yiqing, Wang Shouren and several other core ministers from the Jiang clan, as well as brothers Zhong Bin, Geng Zhongqiu, Han Mufeng and other brothers.  Jiang Xia has been an orphan since she was a child, so she doesn¡¯t know who her ancestors are.  However, he always felt that the biggest change in his life was the day he entered Qianmen.  So Jiang Xia finally chose to take Gui Guzi as his ancestor, the founder of Qianmen.  Under the statue of Guiguzi, Jiang Xia and a group of brothers held three pillars of incense and worshiped the statue devoutly.  Then Jiang Xia personally walked to the incense burner under the statue and inserted the incense in his hand.  At the moment when the incense was placed, the statue of Guiguzi suddenly exploded.  Jiang Xia was stunned at first, then immediately realized and wanted to retreat.  But just because he was confused, the opportunity was missed.  Jiang Bin, who was holding a dagger, seemed to be a ghost that was difficult to get rid of, entangled Jiang Xia.  Although Jiang Xia pressed a palm on Jiang Bin's chest, Jiang Bin finally put the dagger on Jiang Xia's neck.  For a moment, no one dared to act rashly.  Only people like Xiao Sha and others reacted quickly and blocked all the places where Jiang Bin could escape from the Ancestral Temple.  Wang Shouren said to Jiang Bin: "Jiang Bin, let go of the emperor. We will ensure you leave the capital safely." Without waiting for Jiang Bin to answer, Jiang Xia waved his hand, without any nervous look on his face.  He said: "Forget it, there's no need to tell him this. Since he dares to risk everything, he must have made up his mind and won't let me go easily. You all should disperse, he won't kill me. Take Jiang Bin  Your Excellency, he must have understood that I am more useful alive than dead. "To be honest, Jiang Bin was planning to kidnap Jiang Xia and leave the Ancestral Temple, and then attack him.  But Jiang Xia's words, "I am more useful when I am alive than when I am dead." instantly reminded Jiang Bin of many things.  Yes, what is in hand now is not only the enemy Jiang Xia, but also the new monarch of the Central Plains Continent.  With such a person in his hands, if he directly killed him to vent his anger, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?  Jiang Bin suddenly became excited. He smiled and said: "The emperor is right, I really can't bear to kill you. But I also hope that the emperor can cooperate and keep me away from the place of right and wrong first." "Of course there is no problem.  "Jiang Xia nodded, and then said to Yin Renmian: "Renmian, help me finish the rest of the ceremony. I will accompany him to the capital first. Don't worry, nothing will happen." After saying that, Jiang Xia pointed out.  Pointing to a Buddha statue in the main hall, he said: "Let's go, there is a secret passage there. We can get out from there." "Okay, thank you for your cooperation, Your Majesty." Jiang Bin turned sideways and led Jiang Xia away with a vigilant look on his face.  Go to the Buddha statue he said.  Behind the Buddha statue, Jiang Xia turned on a mechanism, then the Buddha statue moved away, and a secret passage appeared.  ¡°This mechanism and secret passage were all temporarily dug by Wang Shouren and people from the Ministry of Works in order to avoid the situation that occurred when the Ancestral Temple was besieged last time.  I didn't expect that the final effect would be this.  This made Wang Shouren feel like he was about to vomit blood.  Jiang Xia seemed to be really cooperative with Jiang Bin. She followed him into the secret passage and then closed the secret passage smoothly.  When everyone looked at each other, Xiao Sha, Qian Juexing and others had already ran out of the hall and chased Jiang Xia.  Wang Shouren and Yang Yiqing looked at each other. Yang Yiqing looked at Yin Renmian and said, "Renmian, you can continue to complete the rest. I believe nothing will happen to Jiang Xia." While walking in the secret passage, Jiang Xia took off his head.  Throw away the beaded crown on your head, and then follow him wearing a dragon robe.Let's go.  The secret passage leads directly to the outside of the Ancestral Temple. After exiting the secret passage, Jiang Bin put his thumb and index finger in his mouth and blew a sharp whistle.  Not long after, a carriage came.  The person driving the carriage was Jiang Bin¡¯s master, Shi Potian.  Shi Potian looked at Jiang Xia and said with a smile: "The face is like a crown jewel, and the eyebrows are heroic. He is in danger but remains calm in the face of danger. He is indeed a king of his generation. He is indeed a dragon and a phoenix among men." Jiang Xia smiled and clasped his fists at Shi Potian.  He bowed and said: "Thank you for the compliment, senior. In fact, senior has not seen it all. But it doesn't matter. If you get along with me for a while, senior will be able to see most of my advantages clearly." "Hahahaha interesting, indeed.  Interesting. Please, Your Majesty, please get on the carriage. This is a wrong place. I don¡¯t dare to stay for long.¡± Jiang Xia nodded and opened the curtain of the carriage to get on the carriage.  But before getting in the car, he was slightly stunned and turned to look at Jiang Bin.  Jiang Bin was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously called out: "Xiangxiang?" He did not expect that when Shi Potian was running for his life, he actually brought Sima Xiangxiang with him.  Jiang Xia took a deep look at Jiang Bin, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and then jumped into the carriage.  Jiang Bin followed suit and sat next to Jiang Xia holding a dagger.  He stretched out his right hand and said to Jiang Xia: "Give me the pass token." Jiang Xia naturally didn't have the pass token for passing through the city gate, but he did have a "I am here in person" token that symbolized his identity.  Jiang Xia didn't hide it and handed the token directly to Jiang Bin.  After Jiang Bin took the token and inspected it, he said to Shi Potian who was driving the carriage: "Master, you can go." "Okay!" Shi Potian shook the reins of the carriage and shouted: "Drive!" The carriage slowly moved.  Start and drive towards the city gate.  But none of them knew that Shanxing, who had been staying at Izenji Temple, was watching the carriage leave and recited the Buddha's name in a long voice: "Amitabha"
