Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 104
The old Taiwei looked at the two people who looked calm and even got along with each other, and seemed to have lost their minds.

In the eyes of everyone outside, after Xiao Cheng came back to power, the first thing to do was to clean up Wang Xiao.Even if the current situation forced him to kill him immediately, he would have to be humiliated many times to repay the humiliation of pretending to be an idiot.

But now the appearance of the two of them getting along in front of them is far from what they imagined!
The old Taiwei opened his mouth to ask the reason, but when he reached the point of his mouth, he stopped again.He shook his head and turned to say:

"Your Majesty asked the grand master to come together to appease the border army?"

Xiao Cheng nodded, stood up and said:

"I want to go to the Yongzhou camp in person, accompanied by the grand master, and there will be no big troubles with the frontier army!"

Hearing this, the old Taiwei frowned, shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter needs to be discussed in a long-term way! This Tong Tianhua is quite good at deceitful and offensive words, and he doesn't know how many generals of the frontier army he has secretly talked about. Even if the Grand Master goes, I'm afraid it's not safe enough! And Your Majesty entering the Yongzhou camp in person is too dangerous and not advisable!"

Wang Xiao created the frontier army single-handedly, and led the frontier army to fight in the north and south, with few defeats.All the generals, big and small, were promoted by him.His prestige is indeed unmatched among the frontier troops.

But, today is different from the past.

Before, the frontier army refused to obey orders, but they were worried about being liquidated by Xiao Cheng.

But now, under the instigation of Tong Tianhua, who can almost be regarded as a knighthood, who can guarantee that these generals will not have any dissatisfaction!

Didn't Xiao Cheng go there in person just following the wishes of some people?In case of any accident, everything will be irreversible!

Hearing the old Taiwei's worried words, Xiao Cheng's eyes moved, he looked up at the old Taiwei, and said seriously:
"Does the Taiwei have something in mind for the person behind this?"

The old Taiwei was silent for a moment, then nodded, looked at Wang Xiao, and said:

"The reason why Emperor Dezong continued to reuse and promote you was because he wanted you to curb the trend of Buddhism!"

Emperor Dezong, Xiao Cheng's cheap grandfather.

Back then, the reason why Wang Xiao was able to quickly grasp the government affairs under the circumstances of his young age and insufficient qualifications was because Emperor Dezong wanted to use his ability to check and balance the Buddhist forces.

Hearing this, Wang Xiao sighed lightly and said:
"Emperor Dezong originally intended for me to fight against the Buddhist sect, and then the royal family would mediate in the middle. But he didn't want to think that in the next ten years, when the Buddhist sect faced me, they would always stay away from it, so that I could successfully evade the imperial power. Now thinking about it , I'm afraid that the Buddhist sect at that time would have a different heart!"

When the old Taiwei heard this, his complexion also sank.

At his age, he has seen too many things in his life!Some things, he had already guessed in his heart.

When the situation in the court changed, Xiao Chengzhong took over the power, the frontier army immediately received the news, the morale of the army was unstable, and they were in panic all day long.As for Xia Kingdom and Li Dynasty, they also received the news almost immediately, thus harassing Yun Kingdom.

Among them, if it is said that no one is colluding with each other, the old Taiwei himself will not believe it!

The old Taiwei's complexion changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:

"This Buddhist man has been rooted in Yunguo for 600 years. The court is responsible for the repair and worship of Buddhist temples every year, and it costs a huge sum of money. Not to mention, the monks also save slaves and maidservants. They do not pay taxes and accept donations from the people. The land. This Buddhist gate has already become a piece of rotten flesh on Yunguo, so we can’t do it without cutting it off!”

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng sneered and said:

"Of course I know that the time has come for Buddhism to move! It's just that this Buddhism has too much influence among the people, and we need to reduce its influence first, and then take advantage of it... and the reason why I personally conquered it is to weaken Buddhism. Prepare for influence. Secondly, hehe, I also want to see if this Buddhism can hold back!"

Xiao Chengyu personally marched, with the respect of the emperor, he went to battle in person.He even took You Xingguang, who was born as a novelist, to act as a living man temporarily, to polish his words and deeds along the way, isn't it just to enhance his prestige!
With enough prestige among the people, mastering public opinion, and going to Buddhism, naturally, you won't be as restrained as you are now!
It's best to let the old monk Huikai not be able to hold back, and can't help but move his hands.In this way, Xiao Cheng can also let him feel the might of the Overlord of Western Chu.

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, the old Taiwei suddenly came to his senses, his brows twitched, and he looked up at Xiao Cheng.

"Your Majesty, the reason why you went to Yongzhou Daying is... no! Absolutely no!" The old captain almost jumped up in a hurry, and even more firmly refused.

Although Jin Shang has just ascended the throne, the situation is even more critical.But just looking at what he said and did during this period of time, his heart, means, tactics, and determination, all of them are the image of the Holy Lord!

The old Taiwei had already concluded in his heart that Xiao Cheng was the one who could lead Yunguo to welcome unprecedented prosperity.In this way, how could Xiao Cheng be willing to fall into danger?

But whether it is to subdue the frontier army, or to prepare for the clean-up of Buddhism in the future, Xiao Cheng must go to the Yongzhou Camp!
Seeing the old Taiwei's unwillingness to agree, Xiao Cheng's face was solemn, his eyes were solemn, and he said solemnly word by word:

"Old Taiwei, don't try to persuade me again! There are some things that even the Buddha can't stop, I said so!"
-
His eyes turned to the northern border of Yunguo, Moutong Mansion.

At this time, under the attack of the Xia army, the Moutong Mansion had already fallen.Most of the seven counties in the prefecture were also lost.There are only two counties left in the territory that is still under the control of Yunguo.

You must know that the Moutong Mansion is located in the northern border of the Yun Kingdom, and it is regarded as a hub. It is the only way to Jianchang Mansion, Huichuan Mansion, and Lanxi County.

If all of this place is lost, it means that Huichuan and Lanxi prefectures, which have not yet fallen, have become two enclaves. Yunguo can no longer rescue them, and can only sit and watch Xiaguo swallow slowly.

Therefore, the war between the two places at this time is extremely anxious!
In Xia Jun's tent, King Qi supported his head with one hand, leaned on the seat, and stared at the map in front of him.

On this map, Xia Jun's banner has already been planted in most of the government offices.Only Santai and Mou'an counties still have the somewhat glaring Yunguo Ling flag.

At this time, a messenger quickly ran into the account, presented the military newspaper with both hands, and said loudly:

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, General Shao Chao of Zhen'an, attacking Santai County is not good, and he has lost troops and lost generals. He has already withdrawn his troops to make repairs!"

King Qi's face sank and he didn't speak. He raised his hand and moved the flag representing Xia's army next to Santai County to the rear.

Not long after, another messenger rushed into the account and reported loudly:

"Commander, when General Zhanyi attacked Mou'an County, he was attacked and killed by the army of Yunguo. Most of the soldiers and horses were lost, and he was unable to fight any more!"

With a pale face, King Qi stretched out his hand and picked up the flag representing General Zhenyi Yin Bi on the map, threw it on the ground fiercely, and cursed:

"waste!"
