On the postings of the imperial lists in various parts of the capital, the front page headlines of the Daming Daily was that the thief who had not left the capital was afraid of being afraid to go out, and the one responsible for the arrest was the royal dragon detective.

After the last time the royal dragon Investigation found that the third Mongolian prince killed Yili and tried to blame the Ming Dynasty, this was another major case that the royal dragon Investigation solved. As a result, the royal dragon Investigation in the entire capital was in a very good light.

Everyone in the capital is talking about the legendary experience of Jiang Xia, the dragon head of the royal family. In the eyes of the people of the capital, the current royal family dragon detective can not only be on par with the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, but also has a potential to surpass, because Jiang Xia was promoted again.

Jiang Xia himself is the commander of the Imperial Entertainment Department of the sixth rank. According to Zhu Houzhao's previous promise, the person who caught the flower-picking thief would be promoted to another level within three days. Logically speaking, Jiang Xia should be promoted to another level from the fifth rank. However, the imperial edict issued by Zhu Houzhao gave Jiang Xia a fifth rank official position.

A mere fifth-rank official is not an incredible title for Liu Jin, the East Factory, or the Jinyiwei Huang Feiyue. Among the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, even the second- and third-rank officials should give in to the two of them?

But Jiang Xia is different from the fifth rank. His fifth rank official position is the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.

As we all know, the cabinet is composed of five great masters, namely the Grand Secretary of Zhongji Hall, the Grand Secretary of Jianji Hall, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Hall. These five great masters are the so-called Daming Pavilion Department, namely the cabinet.

Jiang Xia was named the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, which means that he has obtained the qualification to enter the cabinet.

What kind of place is the cabinet? I believe that people who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty will be familiar with it. In name, the cabinet is the emperor's advisory group, responsible for giving advice on the emperor and analyzing the pros and cons of decisions on major events.

However, since the establishment of the cabinet by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet members have been accumulated to the status of the prince’s three orphans, and have been ranked as the three commoners and have been respected. In the end, the cabinet has always been the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty, and in terms of power, it can suppress the six ministries.

Jiang Xia was suddenly named the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. Although he had not been notified to enter the cabinet to discuss politics, just the six words "Lianyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary" Jiang Xia was equivalent to having joined the cabinet team and was also qualified to attend the morning court.

Jiang Xia did not feel anything to be happy about the promotion of his official position and status. The older the official position, the more things he had to do. The more he did, the greater the responsibilities he had to bear, and the greater the chance of provoking enemies.

Originally, Jiang Xia was already a little worried about the increasingly rigid relationship with Liu Jin. Now that his official position is getting bigger and bigger, I am afraid that one day the two will become as powerful as water and fire.

However, Jiang Xia is no longer the same as before, and even if he really faces Liu Jin, he doesn't need to be afraid anymore.

When the willow trees grow tender green branches, when the snow on the top of the mountain melts, the dew is green all over the mountains, when the drizzle continues, all this means that winter has passed and spring has arrived.

A light rain stopped in the morning, and warm sunlight was released at noon.

Jiang Xia pulled Zhong Bin, Han Mufeng and the others to play a football match together. After taking a shower, they changed their clothes and were about to have dinner with Zhong Bin and the others. A leopard guard in the leopard room came.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao came to Xiaoyao Villa for some reason. After hearing what Baowei said, Jiang Xia said hello to Zhong Bin and the others, and then followed Baowei out of Xiaoyao Villa without eating.

When passing by the front yard, Jiang Xia accidentally heard a guard from Xiaoyao Villa say, "Uncle Crab, the folk remedy you gave me is really effective. Since I took your medicine, my phlegm, fluid, asthma and retardation have been cured. It's amazing, Uncle Crab."

"What's so amazing? Isn't it just a folk remedy? There are many local doctors in my hometown, so there are many folk remedies. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, I will tell you Uncle Crab. Uncle Crab can see if there is any folk remedy to help you."

"Hey, it must be certain, thank you Uncle Crab."

Hearing this, Jiang Xia frowned slightly. He and Uncle Yi met by chance. Based on the principle that people do not need to be skeptical, Jiang Xia had never investigated Uncle Yi's identity. But just heard the conversation between the guard and Uncle Yi just now, Jiang Xia felt that Uncle Yi was not as simple as selling Uncle Chaos.

People who don’t understand traditional Chinese medicine may not know the phlegm, fluid, asthma, and it is actually similar to asthma, which is extremely difficult to cure. If a rural doctor’s folk remedy can cure the disease, then those rural doctors may have already been rich.

Jiang Xia was worried about checking the true identity of this crab uncle for the first time.

After leaving Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia took the carriage driven by the Leopard Guard and went straight to the Leopard Room. After entering the Leopard Room, the Leopard Guard took Jiang Xia directly to the side hall to wait. It is said that Zhu Houzhao and several ministers in the court held affairs in the main hall.

Jiang Xia was sitting in the side hall with extraordinary ears and could probably hear the conversation between Zhu Houzhao and those ministers. The content they discussed was roughly beginning of spring, and several flood-prone places in the Yellow River area needed to strengthen the river embankment to prevent floods from breaking out.

After hearing this, Jiang Xia nodded slightly, thinking that these officials were quite visionary.

Once spring begins, the snow melts into the river, and the rainfall continues to increase, the water level of the Yellow River will rise sharply. It is very necessary to strengthen the Yellow River embankment in advance to prevent flood outbreaks.

Now that the treasury is full of Jiangxia, Zhu Houzhao didn't say much after hearing this, and ordered a fund of 1.5 million taels of silver to strengthen the Yellow River embankment so that it can be done once and for all.

When Jiang Xia heard Zhu Houzhao's decision, he was even more grateful and directly spent 1.5 million taels of silver to build the river bank. This Emperor Zhengde was not as stupid as recorded in historical books.

After the decision was made to build the Yellow River embankment, Zhu Houzhao's conversation with the ministers ended. After the ministers retreated, Zhu Houzhao immediately came to the side hall.

When he saw Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao, he shouted excitedly: "Brother."

Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows and suddenly became alert. He knew this kid very well. If he was full of enthusiasm, he would definitely have something to ask for if he was not for the rippling heart.

"If you have something to say, you can save the groundwork for turning around." Jiang Xia said directly.

The enthusiasm on Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly dissipated. Every time he played with Jiang Xia, he was easily seen through. Zhu Houzhao walked to Jiang Xia and sat down and said, "Brother, this year the Ming Dynasty's treasury is full, and there is no war on the border. It's really great."

"Hmm, then what?"

"Then I think it's better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. You said that I, an emperor, stayed in the capital all day long, and didn't go out to see how I could understand the needs of the people and how I could."

Before Zhu Houzhao could finish his passionate speech, Jiang Xia said lightly: "Come on, if you want to go out and play, just say it directly. What do you understand the needs of the people? Can you believe these words if you tell me?"

"Hehe, it turns out that you can't hide anything from you, brother." Zhu Houzhao laughed.

Jiang Xia pondered for a moment and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Actually, I have no objection to you if you want to go out for a walk, but the difficulty is that so many ministers in the court will definitely not agree. You have to find a way out for this yourself."

"I'm going to find a way myself? I asked you to come here just to find a way for me. Who else can think of a good excuse to let me go on a tour?"

Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and threw eight words back dryly for Zhu Houzhao: "There is no way, I'll find a way."

"Big Brother" Zhu Houzhao looked at him pitifully, grabbed his sleeves with both hands, and said sadly: "You don't know. I have very few opportunities to leave the capital since I was a child, let alone after ascending the throne. People in the world say that I am the emperor of the Nine Five, but in fact I am just a little sparrow in a cage, I."

As Zhu Houzhao said, it seemed that she really felt emotional, which made Jiang Xia feel irritated. He finally couldn't help but sway his sleeves and said, "Oh, OK, OK, I'll think of a solution for you. If nothing happens, I'll leave first, and I'll tell you if I think of a solution."

"Big Brother" Zhu Houzhao once again grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother, it's up to you."

Jiang Xia glanced at Zhu Houzhao's eyes that looked like a resentful woman in the deep boudoir. She couldn't help but trembled, and she had goose bumps all over the floor, so she quickly left.

He also thought there was something important, but he wanted to go out to the palace to have fun. Jiang Xia thought to himself that during the Chinese New Year, he was in Annan and could not get home. This time, he could actually take Rushuang, Niannu and the others to visit Jiangnan together, and by the way, he could go to greet his master and his family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia began to seriously think about how to convince the court officials to let Zhu Houzhao go.

After thinking all the way, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that the carriage had stopped. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and found that he had returned to Xiaoyao Villa.

After Jiang Xia jumped out of the carriage, he waved his hand and asked the Leopard Guard, who was responsible for sending him, to go back. As soon as he stepped into the gate of Xiaoyao Villa, Jiang Xia saw the three sisters Yin Jiaojiao, Yin Shiqin and Yin Qingxue.

The three of them were sitting with Zhong Bin next to the stone table in the pavilion on the right side of the dam. The expressions on the three sisters looked very anxious. Jiang Xia thought to himself that something might be wrong, right?

Sure enough, Zhong Bin was the first to see Jiang Xia when he was sharp-eyed, and he pointed.

Yin Jiaojiao and the three sisters immediately turned to look at Jiang Xia. The four of them immediately got up and walked over. Yin Jiaojiao was the first to shout: "Brother Jiang, save my father, save my father."

"What's wrong with your father?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Dad was arrested by Lianghuai Salt and said he was selling private salt. But in fact, his father found that most of the salt merchants in Lianghuai were selling private salt. He didn't want to be with the flow and get dirty and dipped in private salt, so he wanted to quit. But in the end he was framed by them," Yin Shiqin said anxiously.
