Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 129
Taichang Cheng Lian Xingye, with hundreds of soldiers dressed as forbidden soldiers, was waiting on Xiao Cheng's only way to Beijing.

At this time, Lian Xingye didn't know that Xiao Cheng turned his head and went to Ganye Temple, and was feeling uneasy because of the emperor's delay in coming.

Lian Xingye stood on tiptoe, looked into the distance, but still didn't notice any movement, couldn't help lowering his head and pacing, muttering to himself:
"Why don't you come here? Could it be that someone discovered it? No way, it shouldn't be!"

Before he could finish his muttering, he suddenly felt a violent shaking of the ground.

The sound of "da da da" horse's hooves rang in Lian Xingye's ears.

He reacted suddenly, looked up, and saw a group of cavalry in the distance, galloping at full speed.

Lian Xingye was Tai Changcheng, and he was most familiar with guards of honor. When he saw the banner umbrella in the hands of the cavalry from a distance, he immediately confirmed that this was Xiao Cheng's guard of honor.

He turned his head cautiously, looked at the general following behind him, and said in a low voice:
"The emperor is here, remember, don't show your feet! Otherwise, not only your life will be lost, but your Patriarch Zhong Li will also die!"

Worried that three hundred Buddhist masters would not be enough, just in case, Zhong Li even sent the few hundred remaining soldiers of his family.

In order to avoid being found out, Lian Xingye also carried out a full set of ceremonial guards.

There are 54 pieces of jade and brine books, banners and banners, 72 canopies, [-] fans, and various banners.The emperor's ceremonial guards were all taken, and were held in the hands of the Zhong family's soldiers as a cover.

The general behind him nodded and said in a deep voice:
"I know, please rest assured, my lord!"

The speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, but in a short while, they were already galloping.

Lian Xingye took a deep breath, his knees softened, and he led a group of Zhong family soldiers who were disguised as imperial guards behind him, bent down to the ground, and shouted loudly:
"Chen Taichang Cheng Lian Xingye, kowtow to His Majesty! Your Majesty returns to Beijing, come to greet you according to the etiquette system, please Your Majesty..."

The war horse never stopped, and roared past Lian Xingye.

Lian Xingye was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously stood up and raised his head, looking at Xiao Cheng who had never stopped.

The sound of horseshoes sounded in disorder and noise, and Lian Xingye seemed to hear Xiao Cheng's cold and heartless voice in a vague way.

"Except for that Lian Xingye, kill everyone else!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of cavalry took orders to go, turned their horses' heads, and showed awe-inspiring killing intent.

Under the eyes of Lian Xingye and a group of Zhong family's soldiers who were astonished and terrified, hundreds of cavalrymen raised their spears and charged forward without restraint.

Following Xiao Cheng's battle for thousands of miles, these cavalrymen, who have been victorious in every battle, already have the spirit of a powerful army in the world!It turned into a massacre against the Zhong family's soldiers who were caught off guard.

The sounds of fighting, wailing, and wailing all mixed together, and then subsided quickly, without any more waves.

At this moment in Zhongqing City, Ma Minwen led a group of officials, waiting at the gate of the city.

Countless enthusiastic people have gathered here, waiting to see the honor of His Majesty today.That is to say, at this time, relying on more than ten thousand forbidden troops to maintain order here, it is finally true that no trampling happened.

As the sound of horseshoes became clearer, the cavalry holding the dragon flag came first and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty returns to the capital, all officials welcome you!"

Ma Minwen immediately led all the officials, knelt down on the ground, bowed and saluted, and shouted in unison:

"Your Majesty, welcome your majesty's triumphant return!"

Even the people who surrounded him also knelt down one after another.

The "dong dong dong" sound of the horse trampling on the ground became more and more clear, and even caused the ground to vibrate slightly.

Xiao Cheng reined in his horse abruptly, hundreds of cavalry around him also reined in their horses.

All of a sudden, the neighing of war horses could be heard endlessly.

The imperial guard in charge of the ceremony, with a high-pitched voice and a long tail, said loudly:

"mountain call"

At this time, the officials and common people heard the words, bowed down again, put their foreheads on the ground, and shouted in unison:
"Long live!"

"Mountain hoo!"

"Long live!"

"Hurr again!"

"Long live!"

Looking at the hundreds of officials and people kneeling on the ground at the gate of the city, and recalling the scene when he succeeded to the throne, the people didn't care, and the officials deliberately gave him power, Xiao Cheng's breath became slightly rough, and his eyes In the middle of it, there is even more brilliance, and the whole body is more imposing.

Traveling so far, I don’t know how many times I endured it, how many calculations I used, I finally cleared all the constraints, and really felt the supreme authority of the feudal emperor.

This feeling is really fascinating!

Sitting on the horse, Xiao Cheng glanced slightly at the officials and people kneeling on the ground in front of him, and said:

"It was a time of national calamity, and both Xia and Li attacked together. Our country and society are in danger of being overthrown. Fortunately, all the officials in the court and the central government gave their full support, the soldiers killed the enemy with their lives, and the people supported them, and finally the crisis was resolved!"

Hearing this, Ma Minwen immediately said:

"The ministers have made merit, but if His Majesty did not personally go out to fight, first retreat the [-] troops of the Li Dynasty, and then break through the Xia State's Sanping Pass, and then force Xia State to temporarily cease fighting. The credit here is headed by Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, and said:
"Where is the emperor going to fight for credit with his ministers? Today he is victorious and returns to the court. All the ministers of the court, the soldiers of the three armies, and those who have made meritorious deeds will all be rewarded. The people of Yunguo are exempted from paying for one year. Within a year, all taxes will be exempted!"

There is a difference between taxes and taxes.

According to the system of Yunguo, Fu is used to support the needs of the army and support for civilian service.The tax is the fee for the emperor to support hundreds of officials, food and common affairs, that is, to provide state administrative expenses.

With Xiao Cheng's light words, Yun Guo's tax revenue for this year was at least [-]% off.

However, this matter was not caused by Xiao Cheng's brain.

Next, weakening Buddhism is the most important thing, even the excuses are prepared, just wait to start.

But in this way, the people need to trust and lean towards the imperial power between the imperial power and the religious power, so as to ensure that the unrest among the people is minimized.

Xiao Cheng's move was prepared for this matter.

As for what to do with the money later?
Hehe, the 600-year history of Ganye Temple is more than ten times that of Xiao Chengguo's treasury.By the way, the family properties of several court officials who jumped out this time have also been confiscated.

In short, it should be within a fairly long period of time that Xiao Cheng doesn't need to worry about money.

Xiao Cheng's words, through the blessing of internal force, reached everyone's ears very clearly.

Among the hundred officials, those who have worked hard during this period can't help but smile.

The common people kneeling behind, after hearing that part of the tax could be exempted this year, couldn't hide their joy, and bowed down to Xiao Cheng again, shouting long live.

　I can't turn my mind, I will write tomorrow...

　　Alas, I dare not promise casually that I will definitely pay back this kind of words tomorrow, because there is no guarantee that I will encounter shit like temporary overtime.
