Chapter 622 Struggle
In September of the golden autumn, the osmanthus fragrance blew. During these cool autumn days, the Ming Dynasty maintained the chaos that had lasted for nearly half a year and finally ushered in the first huge change. This change basically means that the chaos in the Ming Dynasty was about to end.
In September of Shanxi, the weather has begun to turn cooler. In this season, animals frequently appear and forage for food in order to store winter food, so this is the best time to hunt.
Originally, Jiang Xia brought 18,000 people to Taiyuan, and what he expected was a big battle to fight. But in the end, the return of Yu Dayou and Ma Yunlong completely reversed the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now, the small and small forces near Shanxi have all prepared generous gifts, crying and shouting to come to Taiyuan to face the saint to apologize.
Jiang Xia put away the gifts and only wrote a name on someone, but did not really see them. How could Xiang Jiangxia, a person with a broad mind, really remember their anger? He just wanted to wait until he really stabilized the Ming Dynasty and then "take care of" them.
Revenge? Oh, no, no. That's not called revenge, it can only be said to be a small warning. As for accidentally destroying others' families and losing their entire family, it was just that the people below did not control their affairs and were a little too hasty for a moment.
In the birch forest outside Taiyuan Prefecture, nearly 10,000 cavalry have surrounded the entire forest for Jiang Xia and Yuan Hanqiu to hunt.
I still remember that when I arrived in the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Xia’s first time rode a horse from the capital to Yunnan. At that time, riding a horse was really a painful thing for him.
But then, he fought south and north, went to Annan, and entered Mongolia, and went through life and death. Jiangxia's horsemanship and riding and shooting had long reached a very powerful level. As a clan, Yuan Hanqiu learned from elementary school, he was ritual, music, archery, and calligraphy. This gentleman's six arts were also very skilled in riding and shooting.
The two of them had a great harvest in just one afternoon. After returning with a full load, Jiang Xia and Yuan Hanqiu walked towards the direction of the Qi Palace together.
On the way, Yuan Hanqiu, who was already increasingly familiar with Jiang Xia, rode with him. He first smiled and praised Jiang Xia: "The emperor is indeed like the rumors in the world, with unparalleled literary and martial arts in the world. Even the technique of riding and shooting shocked Hanqiu to the heavens."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Flame-smoking is not a good habit."
The smile on Yuan Hanqiu's face suddenly stopped, but soon Jiang Xia added casually: "But I like to listen."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Xia laughed a few times at first, and then Yuan Hanqiu laughed with her.
Jiang Xia gently clamped the horse's belly, and the speed of controlling the horse became faster. Yuan Hanqiu quickly shook the horse's reins and followed. After arriving next to Jiang Xia, Yuan Hanqiu couldn't help but say, "Emperor, the general situation in the world is now determined. It is the hope of everyone to ascend the throne and become emperor. Do you want to think about it again? Should you just do it..."
"Shut up!" Jiang Xia suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, and his eyes became a little sharp. With this look alone, Yuan Hanqiu understood that Jiang Xia had never joked with him this time. His breathing became a little rapid. The pressure Jiang Xia gave him was too heavy.
Finally, Yuan Hanqiu couldn't help it, and turned over and got off the horse tremblingly, and knelt on one knee: "Emperor, every word Hanqiu said comes from the heart, I hope the emperor will understand it."
After a long time, Jiang Xia seemed to have had a lot of strength and said lightly: "Don't say these things again in the future." After saying that, Jiang Xia shook the reins heavily and shouted: "Go!" The sweat-blooded BMW under his crotch immediately accelerated after hearing the sound and rushed towards the direction of the Qi Palace.
At the entrance of the Qi Palace, Jiang Xia saw an acquaintance as soon as he arrived. This man was burly, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and felt a little bit arrogant without anger. Compared with Jiang Xia's impression, there was a circle of beards standing upside down like steel needles around this man's mouth. He looked more mature and more steady.
When Jiang Xia saw this person, she couldn't help but feel happy and shouted: "Zhifu!"
Yu Dayou was originally facing Jiang Xia, but now he heard Jiang Xia shouting his word "卡" and 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 in two steps and helped him up. Yu Dayou said, "Your Majesty, I'm late to come back, so please punish me!"
Jiang Xia smiled and shook her head and said, "What sin is it? You are not going to be too late or too late to come back."
Yu Dayou turned around and looked at Chen Bingqiu, the deputy standing not far away. Chen Bingqiu was escorting a person with two personal guards. Jiang Xia was very familiar with this person, Miao Renhu, who was almost exactly the same as Zhu Zaijiang.
Jiang Xia had already seen this person before. After Yu Dayou looked at him, Jiang Xia's eyes also looked over. When they met Jiang Xia's eyes, Miao Renhu, who had already felt that he was about to die, was even more scared at this moment. He quickly knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."
"Do you still want to live?" Jiang Xia asked at Miao Renhu. There was a hint of surprise in his tone, which seemed to be saying, "It's time now, are you still having such delusions?"
Miao Renhu was trembling and couldn't even say a single word. But people often do this. The more urgent the situation is, the more they can explode. For example, Miao Renhu suddenly shouted out like a blessing in mind: "I... I still have a way, I still have a way to restore that person's appearance."
Miao Renhu originally wanted to say "Emperor", but now Jiang Xia has called him emperor, so he was afraid that calling Zhu Zaijiang the "Emperor" would anger Jiang Xia, so he used "that person" instead in a hurry.
After Miao Renhu said this, Jiang Xia would not understand that what he was talking about Zhu Zaijiang's appearance. Jiang Xia was also excited. He grabbed Miao Renhu's clothes and said loudly: "Do you have a way to restore his appearance? What's the way? Say it!"
Miao Renhu was so scared by Jiang Xia's angry shout that he was so nervous that he said hesitantly: "I...I have my own way, no...but you have to guarantee that I will spare my life after the matter is done."
"Are you threatening me?" Jiang Xia narrowed his eyes slightly, and his murderous intention was weak. Miao Renhu quickly said, "No, no...I am not threatening you, I just want the emperor, you treat me as a dog, kill me and dirty your eyes. It is better to let me go with kindness. I promise that I will leave the Ming Dynasty from now on and will never appear in the Ming Dynasty."
Jiang Xia was silent for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Yu Dayou, who was beside him, shouted: "Ha! You thief who dared to pretend to be the late emperor, you dared to talk nonsense in front of the current emperor, and you see if I don't take your life!"
After saying that, Yu Dayou's five fingers formed claws and grabbed Miao Renhu's throat directly. Miao Renhu screamed and immediately closed his eyes. Yu Dayou's five fingers had touched Miao Renhu's throat, but he could not push forward half an inch further.
After seeing again, Jiang Xia was holding his wrist with his right hand. It looked like he was clamping Yu Dayou's right hand, not one hand, but a steel claw.
Yu Dayou looked at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia happened to look at him too. Yu Dayou couldn't help but scream: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
Jiang Xia looked at Yu Dayou and asked with a smile: "If I were really a traitor who bullied my brothers and was a traitor who held power, would you still be willing to follow me?"
"Will!" Yu Dayou replied without hesitation: "Yu Dayou has already handed over his life to the emperor. No matter how traitorous the emperor wants to do, Yu Dayou has no regrets and will follow him desperately. Besides, the emperor, what decision is to make at this moment is beneficial to the world, the people, and everyone who follows you, you should make it clear."
Jiang Xia sighed and shook his head and said, "The Emperor once said that he regards me as his 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 cultivated since childhood. He was no longer a minister or king, nor was his brother’s entrusting his brother to his brother’s orphan before his death, but a feeling similar to father and son.
The force on Yu Dayou's hand suddenly loosened, indicating that he no longer wanted to kill Miao Renhu. Jiang Xia also sent his hand away, and then said to Yu Dayou: "Let's go, follow me into the mansion to take a shower and change clothes, and then I will order someone to prepare dinner to wash your dust."
After saying that, Jiang Xia pulled Miao Renhu with his own hands and said, "Follow 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 survive and die."
"Yes, yes, yes... I will definitely be able to restore his appearance. Although the steps are a bit complicated, I do have this ability..."
Jiyang County, Jinan, Shandong.
Because Ma Yunlong led a 100,000 army of Ganda, the capital's troops increased greatly, so he directly brought the army out of the capital. Xiao Qing had to take his troops and horses back step by step, and at this moment he retreated to Jiyang County.
When he retreated, he either went to Shanxi or Zhejiang. Xiao Qing felt that he didn't know what to do. He had already started to transfer property from the Xiao family and looked for a similar stand-in for him so that he could escape his cicada.
On the fifth day of Jiyang County, Zhu Zaijiang arrived. Jiang Bin also arrived with Zhu Zaijiang.
The three met in the main hall in the backyard of the Jiyang County Government Office. I don’t know what kind of conspiracy was. After seeing Zhu Zaijiang, Jiang Bin politely clasped his fists to Zhu Zaijiang and said, “Jiang Bin meets the emperor, I wish my emperor a long life.”
"My Emperor?" Zhu Zaijiang was a little surprised.
Jiang Bin said lightly: "In fact, Jiang Bin has never forgotten the grace of the late emperor who met him back then."
