Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 141 Handover of Military Power
After Zhang Hong stepped back, Xiao Cheng's cheap father-in-law, Yang Xuanyan stepped forward without saying a word, cupped his hands and said:
"His Majesty……"

"The Marquis of Anning Ting also has something to report?"

Yang Xuanyan took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve, and said helplessly:
"I'm a literati and I don't understand military strategy. Although I haven't made a mess in commanding the Imperial Army during this period, I'm exhausted physically and mentally, and I can barely maintain it. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to take back my right to command the soldiers and horses in Beijing."

Before Xiao Cheng, there were not many people he could trust.Therefore, he had no choice but to drive Yang Xuanyan to the shelves and hand over the military power in Beijing to him.

In fact, the daily drills and patrols of soldiers and horses in Beijing have long been stipulated.The Patrol Battalion, the City Defense Battalion, the Beijing Suburb Camp, and the Forbidden Army each had their own responsibilities and restrained each other.

Unless the generals of the three parties all conspired together, there would be no great chaos in Beijing that could not be calmed down.All Yang Xuanyan had to do was to sit in the army, just in case.As for whether he understands any military strategy, it doesn't actually have a big impact.

The reason why Yang Xuanyan is rushing to hand over the military power today is because of the special status of his Yang family.

Although he is only a Marquis of Ting, and his ability is not very strong, but during the time when he was in command of the army, all the warriors in the army respected him very much.

The main reason for this is that his sons-in-law are all the children of ministers in the court and the army, and their in-laws are all over civil servants and generals.There is also a young daughter who is quite favored in the palace.

Under such circumstances, if he controls the military power in Beijing again, after a long time, he will have no objection, but His Majesty may not necessarily think so.

His in-laws, Ma Minwen, had mentioned this matter to him long ago, for the sake of the lives of several families, that's why he surrendered his military power today.

Seeing this, Xiao Cheng didn't show any surprised expression.

With Ma Minwen's intelligence and prudence, Xiao Cheng had expected that Yang Xuanyan would surrender his military power.And even if Yang Xuanyan was not so conscious, Xiao Cheng himself would find a way to mention him.

Xiao Cheng nodded, and said in a gentle voice:

"I didn't think about it before. Anning Tinghou was born as a literati, and he didn't understand military strategy. I didn't have anyone on hand before, so I had no choice but to let you command and control the soldiers in the army. It is really a shame for Tinghou to work so long. Oversight!"

When Yang Xuanyan heard the words, he hurriedly saluted, saying that he dared not.

Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand to signal him to excuse him, and immediately said:
"The Marquis of Anning Ting maintained the order in Beijing. He made great achievements through hard work. He was promoted to the Marquis of Anning Township, and his households increased to 5000! He also gave him ten golden flowers, ten precious pearls, and [-] taels of silver for his meritorious service."

When Yang Xuanyan heard the words, he quickly leaned over and declined, saying:
"Your meritorious service is so meager that I can truly accept such a reward. Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:
"This is the reward that the Marquis deserves!"

In fact, this reward, in terms of Yang Xuanyan's merits, could not be more serious.Even if it is used as compensation for taking back the military power, it is too much.

But Ma Minwen, Qu Cheng, and even Zhang Hong, who had just persuaded Xiao Cheng not to spend money lavishly, didn't respond at all.

Xiao Cheng only promoted his title, but never arranged other positions in the court.The deep meaning of this is to ask him to be a wealthy idler at home in the future and not to come out.

The daughters of the Yang family connected the families together through their in-laws, and made great contributions to Xiao Cheng's stability in the court, which Xiao Cheng remembered.

But it was precisely because he remembered their contributions that Xiao Cheng needed to start restricting these companies and gradually weaken their influence.No matter this is good for Xiao Cheng or for the few of them.

All the caring people present, after a little thought, understood the deep meaning of Xiao Cheng, and naturally there was no one who objected.

Yang Xuanyan saw Xiao Cheng's insistence, and his in-law Ma Minwen, who had always kept him low-key, never spoke out to dissuade him, so he had no choice but to kneel down and thank him.

Feng Bao took the Tiger Talisman from Yang Xuanyan, held it in both hands and handed it to Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng took the Tiger Talisman, groped in his hand for a while, and placed it on the imperial table, turned his head to look at Di Qing, and said in a deep voice:

"Di Qing, you have made outstanding contributions before, and I have promoted you to General Wu Xiang, to lead the camp in the suburbs of Beijing!"

In fact, if it wasn't for Di Qing's being too young and lacking in qualifications and achievements, he even had the idea of ​​handing over all the soldiers and horses in Beijing to him for restraint.

Di Qing, who had lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Cheng with a look of astonishment, and said:
"The general's qualifications are shallow, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on the important task, please Your Majesty..."

"I have always employed people in an eclectic manner, and you were the first to be able to destroy the Ganye Temple before. It is nothing to be promoted to a miscellaneous general!" Xiao Cheng directly interrupted Di Qing and replied.

Previously, Xiao Cheng didn't put more emphasis on him, and only used the position of captain, because Di Qing didn't have any merit, so he couldn't be directly promoted.

But now when he was destroying the Ganye Temple, he used hundreds of soldiers to surround the entire Ganye Temple in an orderly manner, with tight defenses, showing his ability to control.Afterwards, with a ninth-level cultivation base, he blocked the surprise attack of the masters of Ganye Temple.

Such means and abilities are enough to make some people shut up!
After all, how much is the ninth-level master, how much is the world's best?What's more, Di Qing is still a general who is proficient in military strategy and can lead troops to fight.An extraordinary promotion is what it should be!

Di Qing opened his mouth, hesitant to speak.

It is of course nothing to be promoted to a miscellaneous general.What makes him difficult is to lead the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Di Qing joined the army, if it is true, it will only be two months.In the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing, there are all arrogant soldiers and mighty generals, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied with him.

Xiao Cheng can naturally see why Di Qing is worried, but he knows Di Qing's methods. In history, when he conquered Nong Zhigao, the army under his command was also full of hills, provoking trouble.In the end, didn't they use fierce means to integrate the army.

Seeing this, Di Qing fell silent after all, bowed his hands and saluted:
"Little general, thank you for your trust, and I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, and shifted his gaze to Yang Dayan.

Yang Dayan made a lot of contributions this time, leading hundreds of Miao soldiers, he caused Li Dynasty's army to lose more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and even caused a world-shaking commotion in Li Dynasty's country.

If there is a choice, Xiao Cheng really wants to keep him in the capital and command the city defense battalion or the imperial army.

But unfortunately, he is from the Yang family.

Just took Yang Xuanyan's military power, and then gave the military power to Yang Dayan, this is not taking off his pants and farting, it's unnecessary!

But for such a character, it would be a waste to just stay by his side as a bodyguard.

Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, then immediately said:

"Yang Dayan!"

When Yang Dayan heard the words, his eyes lit up immediately, he got up and cupped his hands and said:
"The end is here!"

"Promote you to General Pingman, lead [-] Miao soldiers, [-] frontier troops, a total of [-] soldiers and horses stationed in Xiushan County, guarding the southeast border, in case the Li Dynasty commits another crime!"

Li Chao's actions were a bit strange, as it was necessary to arrange credible generals to lead the troops and garrison them.

Although Yang Dayan's dominance is not high, it is considered a pass. Judging by Li Chao's poor martial arts, he probably can't make any tricks, it should be enough.

When Yang Dayan heard the words, he immediately remembered the scene of ambush and killing Li Jun in the mountains, his face couldn't help showing excitement, and he immediately cupped his hands and said:
"The minister takes orders, thank you Your Majesty!"

After the confession, all the ministers retired and left, only Ma Minwen stayed until the end.

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Cheng knew that Ma Minwen had something to say to him when he saw that Ma Minwen stayed behind.

Ma Minwen took out a yin-yang fish jade talisman from his bosom, asked Feng Bao to bring it to Xiao Cheng, and said:

"Please, Your Majesty, take a look!"

[Yin Yang Fish Jade Talisman, One Star Treasure

Introduction: Carved from beautiful jade, engraved with yin and yang Pisces, it is a favorite of all scholars.A token of the family members of the Yin Yang family

Wearing effect: no]

Onmyo family keepsake?
Xiao Cheng frowned and looked at Ma Minwen.

Ma Minwen thought that Xiao Cheng didn't know what it was, so he explained:

"Your Majesty, this is the token of the Yin Yang Family."

Xiao Cheng touched the jade talisman in his hand, and said:

"Don't keep it up! Why is this thing in your hands?"

"Sang Pan, a member of the Yinyang family, delivered this token to the minister, and wants the minister to introduce His Majesty to them!"

Sang Pan is the middle-aged man who is the leader among the students of the Onmyoji School.

Xiao Cheng frowned, and asked with interest:
"The Yin-Yang family came here for Wang Xiao's matter?"

Wang Xiao was also from the Yin Yang family.

These various schools of thought have never entered the land of the south of the sky, and now that members of the Yinyang family came here suddenly, except for Wang Xiao's affairs, Xiao Cheng could not think of any other possibility.

Hearing this, Ma Minwen immediately explained:

"Your Majesty, Sang Pan told the minister that he didn't come here for the matter of Wang Xiao. He just wanted to see His Majesty's reputation."

He paused, then continued:
"There were rumors that Wang Xiao and his fellow disciples back then were not close, so there were not many people from the master's sect around him to help."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, but waved his hands and said:
"It's just because of Wang Xiao's matter, it's nothing...well, bring someone to see me tomorrow!"

Xiao Cheng's Jixia Academy was built for these people.Even if they didn't come by themselves, Xiao Cheng would send someone to invite them.

Moreover, Xiao Cheng now wears the Fury Dragon Sword, and his cultivation level is rare in the world, even if the Yin Yang family has a different heart, what can he do with him in this palace, under the protection of the masters of the Forbidden Army?

Hearing this, Ma Minwen immediately cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, I will arrange it now!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, but said again:

"In addition, Jin Shengyuan, the head of the Miscellaneous family, and You Lao, the head of the novelist's family, are also called."

You Lao is You Xingguang's old man, who is now the talker of the novelist.

Ma Minwen immediately bowed his hands and stepped back slowly.

Seeing Ma Minwen retreating, Feng Bao asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, do you need servants to investigate the people from the Yin Yang family and their whereabouts?"

Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said:
"This Sang Pan is sent by the Yin Yang family. If such a person wants to hide their whereabouts, you, the East Factory, will not be able to find them for the time being! Don't worry about them for now. You will know why they are here tomorrow."

Feng Bao immediately bowed and nodded in agreement.

Xiao stood up from the throne, stretched, and swayed out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
