Chapter 241 Step by step conspiracy

The matter of the Lianghuai Salt Administration has basically come to an end. On the surface, this open and secret struggle seems to have taken the upper hand. But in fact, it did not have much impact on Liu Jin. It just dismantled the power he cultivated in the Lianghuai Salt Administration and cut off his wealth.

Next, Jiang Xia accompanied Zhu Houzhao and Li Feng, who had just been brought to Yangzhou, in Yangzhou for a few days, and then Zhu Houzhao decided to leave Yangzhou first. Because Yin, who was pretending to be Zhu Houzhao, would be here to go to the southern tour. If he was not careful, Zhu Houzhao would probably be exposed.

If Li Feng knows Zhu Houzhao's true identity, it is unlikely that the two of them will be able to recover to their current appearance.

Since Zhu Houzhao decided to leave, Jiang Xia had to obey him. Jiang Xia suggested that he would rush back by land this time, go to Chalingzhou, Changsha Prefecture, Huguang to meet his master Li Dongyang, and then go north to Beijing.

Li Dongyang was not only Jiang Xia's master, but also Zhu Houzhao's grand tutor, so Zhu Houzhao agreed to Jiang Xia's proposal.

If you want to leave secretly, Zhu Houzhao will not say hello to anyone, but you can only say hello to Yang Tinghe.

I don’t know what method Zhu Houzhao used to convince Yang Tinghe. In the end, Yang Tinghe agreed to Zhu Houzhao to help Yin Renwei, who pretended to be him, to complete the sacrifice, and then follow the southern tour team back to the capital.

Without Yang Tinghe's obstruction, Zhu Houzhao immediately urged Jiang Xia and the others to set off.

From Yangzhou to Changsha, it is not far away, it is not close. Jiangxia and the others were also escorted by eight people, including Bu Jinyun, Yu Ren, Ma Yunfeng, Qian Juexing, Su Meiniang, Zhong Bin, and Han Mufeng, but this time there was one more person, Gui Sanjian.

In terms of route design, Jiang Xia and the others were planning to go to Nanjing first, say hello to Aunt Qin and the others, then go to Luyang, then go west to Xianning, and finally arrive in Changsha.

After Zhu Houzhao and his group arrived in Nanjing, they separated temporarily. Gui Sanzhen, Zhu Houzhao and Li Feng went to say goodbye to Aunt Qin and the others, while Jiang Xia and the others were temporarily waiting in Shunfeng Inn in Nanjing.

As dusk approached, Jiang Xia sat alone on the second floor of Shunfeng Inn and drank tea, thinking of many things in her mind.

This time, I came to Yangzhou to rectify the Lianghuai Salt Administration and rescue Yin Tianhao who was imprisoned. Both of these matters have been completed. Lianghuai Salt Administration has now been controlled by Jiangxia Tianjiao people. Yin Tianhao was released on the day Zhu Houzhao arrived in Yangzhou and was first released.

But when Jiang Xia came out this time, she knew Zhu Houzhao's secret, which made Jiang Xia realize that she seemed to be stepping into another big situation.

Zhu Houzhao is not the biological child of Empress Dowager Cishou. At the same time, the Yunpian cake that Zhu Houzhao has eaten for a long time contains the poison of Viagra. Yunpian cake has always been made by Empress Dowager Cishou for Zhu Houzhao to eat, so Empress Dowager Cishou is likely to be a poisoned person.

Jiang Xia carefully recalled many historical events in the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, he was not very familiar with Ming history, because he studied history just to facilitate the verification of antique calligraphy and paintings of that dynasty. He had never systematically learned history, so the events he knew were fragmentary.

Jiang Xia remembers the normal trajectory of history. Zhu Houzhao will die in the 16th year of Zhengde, and then King Xingxian's second son Zhu Houchuang ascended the throne with the support of the Queen Mother and Yang Tinghe.

At this point, Jiang Xia didn't think anything was wrong in the past, but since then he came to the Ming Dynasty and learned everything about the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Xia felt it was a bit unreasonable.

After Zhu Houzhao's death, he could actually consider establishing Zhu Houye, the eldest son of Zhu Youbin, the older Zhu Houbing, or the second son of Zhu Houxuan, who was much older than Zhu Houzhang, or even considering establishing Zhu Zaizeng, the grandson of King Yi as the prince to succeed the successor of Wuzong!

But Empress Dowager Cishou chose Zhu Hougui, who was only fifteen years old at the time. At this moment, Jiang Xia felt a little suspicious when she thought about it. Does the Empress Dowager want to choose a young master to train her and make it easier for her to keep the court behind the scenes?

Is there any plan of Empress Dowager Cishou? Is the second son's death really an accident or a conspiracy? Jiang Xia was a little confused for a moment. He pinched the teacup and secretly decided in his heart that he must investigate these matters clearly and would never let the second son die in an unknown way.

Jiang Xia just finished thinking about it and heard footsteps coming again. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the stairs. The person who showed up made him slightly frightened. It was Liu Jin.

Liu Jin walked up the second floor alone, then walked to Jiang Xia's table, and sat in front of Jiang Xia without asking whether Jiang Xia agreed.

Liu Jin looked at Jiang Xia for a while, then smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang is a good method."

Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "It's far worse than my father-in-law. If it weren't for luck, my father-in-law would have killed me with a corpse-rotten needle."

Liu Jin sneered, and his eyes suddenly became fierce: "Jiang Xia, you are very good, you dare to go against the miscellaneous family."

Jiang Xia picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and then said lightly: "You are wrong, you have made a mistake. From the beginning to the end, I never thought of going against you. Instead, you tried to deal with me several times, and I was just forced to fight back."

"Forced to fight back?" Liu Jin laughed contemptuously: "What a forced fight back. The family will tell you today. You, Jiang Xia, want to fight me, Liu Jin, are not qualified. I will let you be proud for two days first. Watch it. I won't be able to crush you like an ant to death!"

Jiang Xia smiled indifferently and said, "Actually, I can't figure it out a problem. I have always wanted to ask my father-in-law for advice. Why do you say that you are already a eunuch and are still fighting for this and that all day long? You can't bring it to death. Why don't you think about doing more good things and accumulate good deeds so that you can be a normal man in the next life? Otherwise, with the evil you have committed now, it's still a matter of whether you can be a human being in the next life. Even if you can be a human being, you may still be a dead eunuch. Even if you are not a eunuch, you may be a eunuch."

"Jiang Xia!" Liu Jin was furious and slapped the table with a sudden palm, and the table broke into pieces.

Jiang Xia remained motionless, holding the teacup in his hand.

He looked up at Liu Jin and said with a smile: "If I had martial arts as good as you, I wouldn't slap the table. I would slap you with one palm, just like slap a mosquito to death.

But I know you don’t dare to slap me to death, because you are afraid that I will dare to kill you, because my second brother and I are brothers, and you don’t dare to kill me, because you are just my second brother’s slave.”

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he drank the tea in the tea cup in one sip, and then threw the tea cup on the ground.

Jiang Xia stood up and walked towards the stairs, and Bu Jinyun and others who had arrived after hearing the sound had arrived. Jiang Xia waved his hand at them and then walked down the stairs.

Jiang Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he turned down the stairs. In fact, he was not afraid of being a lie at all. He clearly saw that Liu Jin's right hand had begun to tremble. He was afraid that he had reached the critical point of explosion at that time.

Although Jiang Xia didn't know what level Liu Jin's martial arts reached, he was sure that it would be easy to kill him with Liu Jin's martial arts.

However, Jiang Xia was indeed not wrong. Liu Jin in Nanjing did not dare to attack him.

After walking out of Shunfeng Inn, Jiang Xia sighed slightly, because since today, he and Liu Jin have completely broken their faces and have reached a situation where they will never stop.

Lihuang Theater.

Feng Chaohuang was invited by Lihuang Theater to act. Zhu Houzhao, Gui Sanzhen and Li Feng said goodbye to Aunt Qin, Qin'er and others and left the theater.

After saying goodbye to the three of them, Aunt Qin returned to the study and took out the paper and pen as if she was about to write a letter.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Qin wrote in a beautiful running script: "My Lord: 'Qin Si has confirmed that the person he met before is the current emperor. Now the emperor is with Gui Sanjian, the junior brother of the Hundred Herbs King. If Qin Si is not bad as expected, the emperor may have known about Juemu Cao.

Now the emperor conceals his identity and falls in love with Li Feng. If there is no accident, the emperor will return to the capital next. How should Qin Si do next? Please make clear what Qin Si should do.’”

After writing, Qin Si called Qin'er to hand the letter to her: "Qin'er, quickly send this letter to the capital and hand it to the Lord. You can only come back after receiving the instructions from the Lord.

"Yes, Qin'er understands." After saying that, Qin'er exited Qin Si's room.

Zhu Houzhao, Li Feng, Gui Sanzhen and the other three returned to Shunfeng Inn and stayed at Shunfeng Inn for one night. The next morning, Zhu Houzhao and the others set off together.

Because Zhu Houzhao felt sorry for Li Feng, Jiangxia specially prepared a carriage for him and Li Feng, and Leng Yu and Han Mufeng drove it separately.

Others, like Jiangxia, ride horses, which are easy to walk and guard horse carriages.

To be honest, taking the land route is far less than that of water route in terms of speed and comfort. However, when Jiang Xia passed by the last time he passed the boat siege incident, he felt that land route was much safer. At least if something happened, there was still some force or possibility of escaping.

On the river with water all over the world, if you are surrounded, you may not even know where to run. Fortunately, the last time I was surrounded was at night, and Jiangxia's six senses were ahead of others, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Xia and his group rushed to Luyang for a few days, and Luyang was today's Hefei. This place still belongs to the scope of Nanzhili, so after everyone arrived in Luyang, they also received the "Prince of the Current Emperor"'s southern tour to Nanjing.

That night, Jiang Xia and his group settled in an inn in Changshun County, Luzhou Prefecture. Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping in Jiang Xia at midnight, suddenly heard that his door was pushed open.

Jiang Xia woke up immediately, and he remained silent, trying to see what the person coming wanted to do.

Who knew that Jiang Xia had heard the footsteps and noticed that the man was walking towards him tiptoed.

Jiang Xia secretly took out the short sword hidden under the pillow, then suddenly burst out and grabbed the future person and pressed it on the bed.

With the moonlight shot in from the window, Jiang Xia realized that it was Zhu Houzhao who sneaked into his room in the middle of the night.

Not a killer, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Jiang Xia's whole body tensed and her hair stood up.

Zhu Houzhao didn't sleep in the middle of the night and sneaked into his room to do what he wanted? Isn't this dead back to throw away the soap and pick it up for me?
