After getting rid of Cao Shaoqin, Xiang Nan took out his secret box and took out the emperor's jade seal, the governor's seal, and dozens of ten thousand taels of silver notes.

The moment he picked up the emperor's jade seal, an idea suddenly came to Xiang Nan's mind, an extremely bold, extremely rebellious, extremely disloyal, but extremely reasonable idea.

He was preparing to replace Ming Yingzong who was imprisoned in Nangong. Half a year later, he became the supreme emperor with the help of the coup. When the time comes, we will support the country, eradicate the eunuchs, and use the virtuous to benefit the people.

 He has served as three emperors, namely Li Chengyin, Song Qingshu, and Qianlong. Therefore, he has considerable experience in governing and is confident that he will be a good emperor.

Furthermore, he knew that Ming Yingzong actually did not do well after his restoration.

When Ming Yingzong was in power before, he favored the eunuchs, neglected border preparations, antagonized the Miao people, suffered military defeats, and almost lost the entire Ming Dynasty. After that, he proclaimed himself emperor again and continued to favor the eunuchs, massacre loyalists, and betray the country by ceding territory, thus triggering a civil uprising.

 It can be explained that emperors like Yingzong are ranked high in Chinese history, and of course they are ranked last. Foolish and incompetent, favoring traitors, harming loyal people, acting against the will, and provoking popular uprisings...

Compared with him, Liu Chan is already a wise king. At least Liu Chan did not kill Zhuge Liang unjustly.

Therefore, replacing Ming Yingzong in power is not a bad thing, but a benefit to the people.

It's just that as a minister, Zhou Huai'an wanted to pretend to be the emperor and rule the world, which was really too bold.

 But Xiang Nan decided to do it anyway.

For one thing, the biggest thought of righteous men like Zhou Huaian and Qiu Moyan was to bring peace to the world and allow the people to live a good life. And if Ming Yingzong becomes emperor again, it is obviously impossible to bring a good life to the people.

 As for Zhu Jianshen's succession, it is not possible. Because he is only ten years old, the young master's succession to the throne has a greater chance of causing powerful ministers and eunuchs to control the government, and both are the source of disaster;

 Second, he and Qiu Moyan can wander around the world, find a place that no one knows, and live off their lives with the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver he just got.

But they will be wanted criminals their entire lives and will never see the light of day. This may even affect their descendants. Because the descendants of both of them have no future.

 In ancient China, everything was of inferior quality, except for reading. But it is impossible for their children to take the exams to obtain fame, because just the first test for children requires writing the names, place of origin, and origins of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.

Although the ancient household registration system was imperfect, it was not easy to fake it.

Especially in ancient times, the concept of the township party was very strong. If you randomly add a place of origin, local officials, wealthy businessmen, and villagers will come to recognize your relatives.

 Once you fail to answer the question correctly, it is a dead end, so wandering around the world and being carefree may sound romantic, but the reality is very cruel.

On the contrary, if he becomes the emperor, their descendants will be princes and grandsons, which is better than being an official in the imperial examination.

 …

After Xiang Nan's plan was decided, he took away the emperor's jade seal, the governor's jade seal, silver coins, and Cao Shaoqin's head.

 He immediately used Qinggong and left the residence of the envoy.

 With the abilities of Chang Yanxiao and the Black Flag Army, it was natural that they would not be able to discover him.

 After leaving the chief envoy's residence, Xiang Nan ran all the way back home.

When he entered the house, he saw Qiu Moyan, Jinbao and Yuying kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva, silently praying for the blessing of Guanyin, hoping that Xiang Nan would succeed immediately.

“Master Guanyin, the girl Qiu Moyan wishes to lose half of her lifespan...” she prayed silently.

“It’s no use praying to Buddha and worshiping gods!” Jin Xiangyu stood aside and curled his lips and said, “I just went to see the Chief Envoy’s Mansion, and the Yaya Chacha was full of people. It’s surprising that he succeeded.

 In my opinion, you should think about what to do in the future. I have promised you in advance that I will not care about you. Us old men play the huqin - just mind our own business. "

Just as he was talking, Xiang Nan had already opened the door and walked in.

“Uncle Zhou~” When Jinbao and Yuying saw him, they immediately jumped forward happily.

"Huai'an, are you okay?" Qiu Moyan couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, and then ran over. Jin Xiangyu was startled, "Fuck you, are you a human or a ghost?"

"You are the ghost." Xiang Nan glared at her angrily, then hugged Qiu Moyan, Jinbao, Yuying and others.

“It’s great that you’re okay!” Feeling the warmth in Xiang Nan’s arms, Qiu Moyan knew that he was not a ghost and couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

"Yes, it's better to be alive." Xiang Nan nodded and then took out Cao Shaoqin's head from his back.

"It's really him! This evil thief!" Qiu Moyan said in shock when he saw it.

 She had fought against Cao Shaoqin and knew that it was indeed him.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan really succeeded.

“Is this Cao Shaoqin, the governor of Dongchang?” Jin Xiangyu was also surprised.

She just sneaked to the Chief Envoy's Mansion to have a look. It was really heavily guarded, with a post every three steps and a sentinel every five steps. With such a level of defense, and with her level of skill, nothing could get through.

 But I didn’t expect that Xiang Nan could actually go in and come out killing people. It was simply unbelievable.

Xiang Nan then set up another memorial tablet for Yang Yuxuan and presented Cao Shaoqin's head in front of his tablet.

“Mr. Yang, I have eradicated the castrated dog Cao Shaoqin. Your spirit in heaven may rest in peace.” He took Qiu Moyan, Jinbao, and Yuying to pay homage.

Jinbao and Yuying also cried bitterly.

After the memorial ceremony was over, he threw the head into the toilet, leaving Cao Shaoqin in a state of infamy for thousands of years and unable to turn around in his next life.

 …

After finishing the work, everyone took a rest.

 By early morning, martial law was declared in Chang'an City.

Three squads of government officials, local garrison troops, Dongchang fans, and black flag guards searched house to house looking for suspicious persons.

 The people were so frightened that they were in a state of panic and no one knew what was going on.

Only the five people in Xiang Nan knew that it was because Cao Shaoqin was assassinated that they wanted to raid the whole city.

But this was undoubtedly in vain, as it was impossible to find the assassin.

A master who can quietly infiltrate into the chief envoy's residence, kill people and then leave quietly, how could such a master be caught by the third squad of yamen and Dongchang fanzi.

 The reason why they are still making such a big fuss is just to shirk the blame.

 And doing so also gave the gang of government servants and soldiers the opportunity to extort money from the people.

"You are the new tenants, huh, you are very suspicious." The yamen servant closed his eyes, looked at Xiang Nan's family of five, and said coldly.

They received orders from above to search the entire city and arrest anyone who seemed suspicious. But he didn't tell them who was considered suspicious, which gave them great power in sentencing, and they could decide who to arrest and who not to arrest.

"Master, we are all common people with our duties. Those who do bad things will not eat, and those who break the law will not do anything. Please show your noble hand. Show your noble hand." Xiang Nan said as he passed over a piece of silver.

 “Hmph, be more honest with me from now on.” The yamen servant picked up the piece of silver in his sleeve and left with satisfaction.
