Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 12 Sticky Rods

It's three poles high in the sun, in front of the Yunguo Palace.

Zhong Li pushed open the door of the carriage, with the bad smell of alcohol after a hangover, and with the support of his own soldiers, he walked down swayingly, with weak footsteps.

In fact, at this time, the time for Wei Wei's office to respond has already passed.But Zhong Li is Wei Wei, so naturally no one dared to ask.

Zhong Li was born in the honorable family of the generals of the Yun Kingdom, and he was a senior general in the Yun Kingdom's army for three generations, and his family has a long history.It's just that with such a background, Zhong Li's talent is not worthy of his status.

Since he was a child, he has been a playful and dissolute man with a bad temper, and he is always impatient.So far, he is only at the sixth level of cultivation, and he has learned the art of war handed down from his family in a mess.

He has no achievements in civil and military affairs, the old Patriarch of Zhong's family originally planned to let him enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of his life, that's all.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Li spent a long time hanging out outside, fighting cockfights and horse racing with a lot of dandies, and developed a lot of gambling.When Wang Xiao first showed his talents, Zhong Li was sure that he could achieve something, and put all his wealth on him early on.

Thanks to the need to send charcoal in the snow, and Wang Xiao's thought of being rich and powerful, Zhong Li has soared to the sky since then. Although he lacks talent and virtue, he can be ranked among the nine ministers.

After getting out of the carriage, Zhong Li pushed away the soldiers who were supporting him, and walked unsteadily into the Weiwei Office.In a daze, he glanced at the lobby of the Wei Wei Department, sweating on his back immediately, and he was so frightened that he became drunk.

A group of Weiwei officials stood obediently in the lobby of the Weiwei Office, even when they heard Zhong Li coming in, they didn't dare to look back.

On the main seat, Wang Xiao looked coldly at Zhongli, who had come late, without saying a word.

Zhong Li looked around for a while, with a bitter look on his face, he went to the hall and saluted with his hands:

"Meet the Grand Master! Why didn't the Grand Master advance..."

"All the subordinates should step down first!" Wang Xiao interrupted directly.

All the officers of the Weiwei Department breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated out of the hall.The last official who left closed the lobby very intimately.

As the subordinates retreated, Zhong Li simply knelt down on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Please be punished by the Grand Master!"

Wang Xiaogang was about to lose his temper, but Zhong Li simply pleaded guilty, and the scolding sound that was about to blurt out was blocked in his throat.

As for Zhong Li, it is naturally impossible for Wang Xiao not to know his playful temperament.I don't know how many times I have reprimanded him in the past ten years, but after being honest for a period of time, he will germinate again.

Wang Xiao looked at Zhong Li who was not stingy, and sighed helplessly, feeling quite aggrieved in his heart:
"Will you be fined less? Hurry up, if the old man catches you again, don't be a Weiwei!"

It has to be said that Zhongli is the only one who can make Wang Xiao feel deflated in Yunguo today!

Seeing what Wang Xiao said, Zhong Li knew that he had escaped, so he stood up with a playful smile, and said:
"The Grand Master came here today, I don't know what the so-called matter is?"

Wang Xiao looked at Zhong Li's hippie smiling face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said helplessly:

"The army on the front line is tight, so we can't just ignore it all the time. I came here today to bid farewell to the little emperor. By the way, let's take a look at how you handle the affairs of the imperial army... Sure enough, it's a mess!"

Zhong Li scratched his face, lowered his head again, and stopped talking!
After all, he is his own daughter, so it is not easy for Wang Xiao to blame too much for setting an example for others.After changing the subject, he said:
"What's different in the palace now?"

Zhong Li blinked and recalled:
"It's not unusual, just a few days ago, Concubine Zhang's niece entered the palace. I took a look from a distance, hey, that girl looks very exciting!"

"Concubine Zhang's niece?" Wang Xiao frowned.

"Yes, Taicang Lingling Xi is Concubine Zhang's brother-in-law. His daughter is Ling Wan'er. She has been weak since she was a child and was raised in Jizhao Nunnery outside the city. I have checked all these and there is no problem."

Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully and stopped asking.

Zhong Li became curious and couldn't help asking:
"Grand Master, apart from a brother-in-law, Concubine Zhang has no other help in the court, and she is trapped in the deep palace. Why are you so afraid of her?"

"A few years ago, I met her once, and I just thought she was not simple." Wang Xiao said casually.

A few years ago, Wang Xiao saw Concubine Zhang from afar.Under the gaze of Wen Xintong, the secret art of the Yin Yang family, above Concubine Zhang's head, a huge purple butterfly with colorful patterns condensed out of the purple aura, which left a deep impression on him.

The vision of man is formed by the combination of man's energy and spirit with the heaven and earth, which is mysterious and mysterious.Even Wang Xiao can't know the character and ability of this person just by looking at the vision.

It's just such a vision, it will never be an ordinary person.Therefore, Wang Xiao always has a little bit of jealousy towards Concubine Zhang.

Wang Xiao shook his head and said:

"In short, it's all right if you mess around a little bit on weekdays, but now is the critical moment, and you must not be careless about everything in the palace!"

Seeing Wang Xiao's serious expression, Zhong Li also put away his hippie smile, cupped his hands and said:

"Yes!"

Wang Xiao nodded and said:

"Let's go, accompany the old man to meet the little emperor."

Zhong Li heard the words and hurriedly accompanied Wang Xiao into the palace.
-
"The grand master asked for an audience? Why is he here?" Feng Bao called Xiao Cheng up from the bed, and asked sleepily.

Although the sun was already high, it was not time for Xiao Cheng to wake up.

No way, compared to playing a fool, sleeping is not so tiring.

While changing clothes for Xiao Cheng, Feng Bao said in a low voice:

"My servant heard from the eunuch who went out to buy things in the palace that two days ago, our army from Yunguo fought with the army from Li Dynasty, and we were defeated a few times. Thinking about it, the grand master couldn't sit still anymore and wanted to return to the east to preside over the army."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded, knowing what to do.

When he came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after changing his clothes, Wang Xiao had already been waiting for a while.

"Old minister, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Wang Xiao bowed to Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng was stunned, showing a smirk, and said to Wang Xiao:
"The grand master came today, but you are looking for me to play?"

Since Wang Xiao came out of the mountain, relying on the Yin-Yang family's secret technique to win everything, he has long believed in it, and no longer doubts whether Xiao Cheng is really stupid, and replied:

"Your Majesty, the old minister came here today to bid farewell to His Majesty."

Xiao Cheng's eyes widened when he heard the words, with a look of extreme surprise, he said:

"Why? Why is the grand master leaving? Could it be, could it be that you are seriously ill like your father?"

Wang Xiao felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this.

This is the second time he has been deflated today.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the battle on the front line is tight, and the old minister is going to sit in command!" Wang Xiao said in a muffled voice.

Xiao Cheng's eyes blinked, his face was ignorant, he turned slightly towards Feng Bao, and asked in a voice he thought was very low:

"Tight? What do you eat?"

Feng Bao glanced at Wang Xiao in embarrassment, and replied in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, this means that the battle ahead is unfavorable."

Xiao Cheng then blinked his eyes and said:

"What do you mean by unfavorable?"

"It's not good, it means I'm going to lose!" Feng Bao replied.

At this time, Xiao Cheng was even more confused, and murmured:
"It's fine to just say that you're going to lose. Why do you say something surprising and unfavorable? It's hard to understand!"

The corner of Wang Xiao's mouth twitched, and he quickly interrupted Xiao Cheng's thoughts:

"Your Majesty was weak back then, and had never studied, so it's not surprising that he didn't know these things. But as a king, he needs to read more books before he can govern the country."

When Xiao Cheng listened to the reading, he smiled resentfully, and said:
"It's not that I don't want to study, it's just that in this palace, the sound of cicadas chirping is very annoying, so I don't want to study!"

When Wang Xiao heard the words, he casually said:
"It's simple, get some palace attendants and imperial guards, make a few sticky sticks, and catch them when the time comes!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng showed reluctance on his face, and said unhappily:

"Okay then. Feng Bao, I leave this matter to you!"

Feng Bao bowed and said respectfully:
"Yes!"

At the same time, in the line of sight that ordinary people can't see, the purple Ceka [sticky stick], shining with purple light, flashed past.

　The 29th, NO.30, and the [-]st are three days away. I may have to ask for leave. I will try my best to save the manuscript. . . .
