Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 186 Make Spring Festival work overtime?How hateful!

In front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Bao rushed over.

Standing in front of the palace gate, he looked at the closed gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and asked softly to the little eunuch who was waiting by the side:

"What about Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty just ordered me to bring in a basin of clean water, and asked me to wash my hands! After that, I didn't summon the servants again."

Hearing this, Feng Bao frowned, glared fiercely at this unreliable little eunuch, and asked in a low voice:
"What I'm asking is how Your Majesty is feeling now!"

Hearing this, the little eunuch trembled and said with a bitter face:

"This little one hasn't gone in to serve him yet, how would I know..."

Hearing this, Feng Bao glared at this stupid little eunuch again.

It's a good thing that His Majesty is not tyrannical, otherwise, if you send this thing here, you will offend Long Yan sooner or later!
Feng Bao took a deep breath, tidied up his robes, and then said respectfully in front of the palace gate:
"Servant, please see Your Majesty!"

A moment later, Xiao Cheng's voice came from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"come in!"

Well, His Majesty's voice is flat, and his mood seems normal...

Feng Bao bit the bullet, walked quickly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, knelt down and leaned on the ground, and said loudly:
"Slaves, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng's eyes at this time did not look at Feng Bao, but looked closely at the air in front of him, and said casually:

"Get up!"

At this time, in the sight that ordinary people can't see, the blue card is shining with dazzling light.It filled Xiao Cheng's sight.

[Blue Training Card, Collection of Cleansing Injustices
Card effect: After using it, you will get the famous official "Song Ci"

Card Description: Prison matters are not more important than the Great Prison, the Great Prison is not more important than the first love, and the first love is not more important than the test.

Song Ci, courtesy name Huifu, Han nationality, native of Jianyang, Tang Prime Minister Song Jing's descendant, was born in the 13th year of Emperor Xiaozong Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a famous forensic scientist in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Force 20, Literature 82, Wisdom 89, Morality 95, Age 28, Domination 32, Politics 75, Charm 80, Loyalty 100, Ambition 60]

Xiao Cheng looked at this card and suddenly thought of that stubborn and unkind Song Ci when he was watching TV dramas.

Very good, there must be such a person in the imperial court, and it is estimated that he and Hai Rui will have a common topic.

With a thought, the blue card turned into a ray of light and fled away.

Xiao Cheng looked down at Feng Bao who was still kneeling on the ground and did not get up, frowned, and asked in a deep voice:

"Well, what's the matter? Didn't the errands go well?"

Feng Bao swallowed his saliva and said:
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Dongchang has searched Jixia Academy many times. Among them, the list of students has been presented to His Majesty. I really couldn't find anyone else..."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng frowned slightly.

He asked Feng Bao to investigate the students of Jixia Academy, naturally to find the famous official who was refreshed after the effect of Jixia Academy was triggered.

Now Xiao Cheng only knows that this effect has been triggered.As for the refreshed famous ministers, there is no clue at all, so Feng Bao's Dongchang can only use a stupid method to send the list of students to Xiao Cheng, so that Xiao Cheng can find familiar names from it.

It's just that Dongchang almost turned Jixia Academy over, and Xiao Cheng still couldn't find any familiar names on the list.

Maybe it's like Yang Xuanyan, because he is uneducated and didn't recognize it?Or maybe, the famous officials refreshed by Jixia Academy are not in Jixia Academy at all?

But actually Xiao Cheng was not that worried.

Over the past year or so, Xiao Cheng has summoned many talents through the Golden Finger, and he already has a certain understanding of the mechanism of the Golden Finger.

The famous officials refreshed by Goldfinger all have the effect of full loyalty at the beginning.Although it is not constant, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about betrayal after being summoned.

The famous minister this time is most likely still on his way to Yun Country.

Feng Bao raised his head cautiously, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, don't you know the name of the scholar you are looking for this time?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng came back to his senses, waved his hand at Feng Bao, and said:

"It's fine if you can't find out, let Dongchang pay attention in the future! By the way, you Dongchang will find another person this time!"

Hearing that he was looking for someone again, Feng Bao's heart skipped a beat.

"Go find a scholar named Song Ci, and when you find him, send him to see me!"

Hearing this, Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief,

It's good to have a name, it's good to have a name!As long as there is a name, as long as this person is in Yunguo, with Dongchang's current intelligence capabilities, it is not too difficult to find him.

Like before, it is difficult to find someone who only knows that he will appear in Jixia Academy!

Feng Bao hurriedly bowed and said respectfully:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. This time, I will not let Your Majesty down!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, stood up, suddenly remembered something, and said:

"By the way, speaking of it, the Xia Kingdom Mission should arrive today!"

Hearing this, Feng Bao nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, Master Li Caozhang, already organized people to meet him!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng smacked his lips, not very interested and said:
"Oh, how annoying, don't come early, don't come late, come just in time for the New Year's Eve!"

You have to deal with state affairs on weekdays, so it's hard to have a holiday for the Spring Festival, but someone came over and made you have to work overtime, how annoying you are!

Feng Bao stood up, laughed twice, but didn't answer.
-
"Wow, this is Zhongqing City! I've only heard people say that it is like spring all the year round, and it's really much better than Jinling City." The beautiful maid poked her head out of the luxurious carriage and looked at the majestic and towering city in front of her. The city, the eyes light up slightly.

Nan Jiyun, who was guarding around the carriage, heard Qingli's exclamation, turned his head slightly, and glanced at her.Showing the color of pondering, I don't know what is thinking in my heart.

King Qi rode his horse at the forefront of the mission convoy, looking at the majestic city walls around Zhongqing City ahead, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said softly:
"As far as the majesty of the city wall of Zhongqing City is concerned, it is not inferior to Jinling City. It is worthy of being the capital of the Yun Kingdom for 600 years... If this king has the opportunity to lead troops to the city, I am afraid it will be a headache. .”

Zhou Quan, the personal guard by his side, was startled when he heard the words, and looked around suddenly. After making sure that no one else heard it, he said helplessly:

"Your Highness, it's better not to say these things once they entered Zhongqing City. After all, His Highness came here this time at His Majesty's order, for the peace talks between the two countries..."

Upon hearing this, King Qi spread his hands and said nothing more.

With such a big movement from the mission, Yunguo Chaotang naturally received the news a long time ago.Zhang Zhao led a group of officials from Yunguo to wait at the city gate very early.

He saw the convoy of the Xia Kingdom Mission, under the protection of the Yun Kingdom's imperial army, slowly approaching the city gate.

Zhang Zhao tidied up his clothes, and led the officials to come forward.

In the astonished expression of the Xia Kingdom mission, Zhang Zhao ignored King Qi in front of the mission, led a group of officials, and went straight to the carriage guarded by Nan Jiyun, knelt down on the ground, and shouted in unison:

"Minister and so on, pay homage to Emperor Ji Rouning!"

If the two countries were in a relationship, if the status was equal, there would naturally be no such thing as officials of this country bowing down to the emperor of that country, not to mention that there was only a princess of the Xia Kingdom in the carriage.

But this Empress Rou Ning has a different identity now.The half of the guard of honor of Queen Yun Kingdom behind the carriage she was riding in already represented Xiao Cheng's meaning.

At this time, Zhang Zhao and the others were not visiting Princess Xia as courtiers of Yun Kingdom, but the concubines in the harem as courtiers.

But at this time, King Qi, who was deliberately ignored by Zhang Zhao and other Yun Kingdom officials, narrowed his eyes slightly.All the mission officials and guards also frowned.

Needless to say, this is Yun Guochaotang's downfall!
In fact, King Qi also knew that he was the commander of the Xia Kingdom who led the army to attack the northern border of Yun Kingdom, and he must suffer some grievances when he came to Yun Kingdom to seek peace.

He had expected the scene in front of him, but he was still able to adjust it at this time, and he never got angry.

After a moment of silence, a gentle voice sounded from the luxurious carriage personally guarded by Nan Jiyun:

"Hurry up and get back on your feet! Now that the two countries are about to sign a contract, you adults are the pillars of the country, and you are involved in important matters. It is not convenient for my palace to waste time, and there is no need to be polite in the future!"

This gentle voice made people feel good about it, and what the Rouning Emperor Ji said was very decent, which made the Yun Kingdom officials who were welcoming at this time have a good impression of this Emperor Ji.

"Xie Rou Ning Diji!" After everyone responded respectfully, they got up one after another.

After all, it is the intersection of the two countries, so it can't really lose its dignity.After giving a dismount, Zhang Zhao led a group of officials, walked up to King Qi, bowed and said:

"Da Yun Li Cao Shangshu Zhang Zhao, pay homage to His Royal Highness Xia Guoqi King!"

King Qi looked at Zhang Zhao who was respectfully saluting in front of him, calmed down his mood, and immediately put a smile on his face, and praised:

"Master Zhang Zhaozhang, who presided over the imperial examinations in Yunguo before? He has heard about Master Zhang's reputation before, but seeing him today, his reputation is well-deserved!"

Although King Qi belonged to the Great Xia royal family, he was not valued much in his early years, and he was used to seeing everyone's hypocritical way of getting along in the palace since he was a child.Although I don't like this way of getting along in my heart, but if you really ask him to be polite a few times, it is very familiar.

Seeing King Qi's extremely hypocritical appearance, which was completely different from his previous free will, the deputy envoys at the side breathed a sigh of relief.

But before it was King Qi, the impression of being unruly was too deep, the deputy envoy of the mission quickly got off his horse, led a group of missions to slightly salute Zhang Zhao and other officials of Yunguo, and then said:

"Feng Chu, deputy envoy of the Great Xia Mission, and the leaders of the mission have met all the adults of Yunguo!"

Zhang Zhao bowed slightly, as a repayment to everyone, and then said:

"Emperor Ji Rouning, His Royal Highness King Qi, and all your lords, the journey has been difficult. Your Majesty is considerate, and arranged the welcome banquet at noon tomorrow, and went to celebrate the New Year with all the officials. The State Guest House has already been prepared. Please welcome everyone today. Rest in peace!"

It was a coincidence that the Xia Kingdom Mission came to Beijing just in time for the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Speaking of which, there were 28 government seals in the twelfth lunar month of Yunguo, and there was originally a seven-day rest period.It was because of the Xia Kingdom mission that Zhang Zhao had to lead a group of officials to work overtime.

Well, Zhang Zhao is a worthy official, not much better than a social animal...

Feng Chu, deputy envoy of the Xia Guo Mission, heard the words, and quickly took over the topic and said:

"I would like to ask Master Zhang to wait for the ministers on my behalf. Thank you, Emperor Yunguo, for your understanding!"

Zhang Zhao nodded slightly, and immediately led the Xia Kingdom mission into the capital of Yun Kingdom.

The battle of the Xia Guo Mission was so big, and Zhang Zhao and other court officials waited for a long time before, the people in the city actually knew about the Xia Guo Mission's entry into the city.

At this time, many common people had already gathered on both sides of the road, all watching the Xia Guo Mission.

Among the crowd, someone pointed to King Qi at the front of the mission, and whispered:
"Did you see that, the one at the front that looks very strong is King Xia Guoqi!"

"King Qi? The one who led the army to attack Yunguo, and was beaten by General Cheng Zhenbei and fled?"

"Hey, that's right, that's him!"

"Tell me, you insist on going to war with me, Yunguo, and if you lose, you have to send your own sisters to marry our majesty. You say, this is what you asked for!"

Having said that, there was a burst of playful laughter among the crowd.

Sitting on the horse, King Qi felt the pointing and mocking from the people of Yunguo, his face became a little gloomy, and his right hand holding the rein suddenly tightened.

On the back of the hand, because of too much force, the veins are already exposed.

Compared with the dismounting of the officials of Yunguo, the humiliation of parading through the streets is even more engraved in King Qi's heart.

Although he had been prepared in his heart before, when he was faced with such a scene, King Qi still almost couldn't restrain himself.

Zhou Quan, who was beside King Qi, was panting heavily, his face was flushed with suffocation, and his red eyes swept across the people on the street from time to time, flashing a murderous intent from time to time.

"It turns out that this is what my father wanted me to feel. Really, I almost couldn't hold back..." King Qi took a deep breath and said softly to Zhou Quan.

"Your Highness, the last general is incompetent..." Zhou Quan slightly lowered his head and said with shame on his face.

"Nothing to do with you!"

King Qi paused for a moment, then his face turned hard, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"If it weren't for the father's foresight and foresight, and he refused to deal with the southwestern generals, why would this king do it himself, deliberately taking advantage of the opportunity of attacking Yunguo to consume the power of the generals? If it wasn't for this reason, this king would lead the army to swallow the north of Yunguo. Given the situation, the Yun Kingdom has no chance to react, so how could there be such a humiliation today?"

If King Qi hadn't deliberately asked the generals of the southwestern generals to lead his troops to attack the city, and then sat back and watched them consume the troops in his hands, the counties in the north of Yunguo would not have been able to support Cheng Bushi to lead his troops to rescue.

One wrong step, one wrong step, and this is the result of the subsequent disastrous defeat and today's humiliation!
It was all about the current Emperor Xia, Zhou Quan naturally couldn't talk anymore, and fell silent immediately.

King Qi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"This king didn't want to fight for that position, but my father insisted on making me realize how important that position is... Hehe, it's really full of checks and balances. It's not enough to use it on courtiers, even to my own son. , also use this hand.”

Zhang Zhao, who was not far from King Qi, coughed lightly, as if telling King Qi that he was not deaf and could hear.

This kind of thing should not be said here, right?

King Qi glanced at Zhang Zhao, with an indifferent expression, as if the words were intended for him.

Just as Zhang Zhao passed by an intersection, he suddenly looked at King Qi, raised his finger to the left, and said:
"His Royal Highness King Qi, please look!"

King Qi looked in the direction Zhang Zhao was pointing at, and saw a convoy of prison cars parked at the side of the intersection, quietly giving way to the convoy of the Xia Guo Mission.

The people in the prison car were all sluggish, but everyone had big bald heads and scars on their heads, which made it easy for people to see their identities.

monk!

King Qi looked at Zhang Zhao, pretending to be puzzled and asked:

"This is?"

"My Majesty, Dayun, can't bear the people to suffer from wars again, and is extremely concerned about the peace talks between the two countries. These people are the evil Buddhist party who intends to assassinate Rouning Diji. Now they have all been arrested. The evidence of their crimes is conclusive and unforgivable In order to show my sincerity, these evil parties and all the criminal evidence can be handed over to His Royal Highness King Qi for verification and disposal!" Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice.

King Qi frowned, looked again at the monks in the prison cart, and said nothing.

It seems that Emperor Yunguo has taken advantage of this opportunity to completely wipe out the Buddhist sect.From now on, there will be nothing in Yun Kingdom that can compete with his imperial power!
After a while, the corner of King Qi's mouth curled up, and he said with a light smile:
"Since these people are the evil party of the Buddhist sect of Yunguo, how can this king act on their behalf? Anyway, the imperial sister hasn't even received any scares, so Yunguo can deal with it on its own!"

Zhang Zhao bowed his head slightly, respectfully said:

"Thank you His Highness King Qi for your understanding! I only hope that the contract will be signed, and the two countries will never fight again."

"Hehehe..." King Qi chuckled meaningfully twice.

Among the crowd, a man was dressed in ragged clothes, and his gray hair was quite conspicuous.

At this time, the man was staring at King Qi in the Xia Kingdom Mission.The man's expression was rather complicated, he seemed to be hesitating for something, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes from time to time.

In the convoy of the mission, Nan Jiyun, who was guarding around the gorgeous carriage, suddenly felt a trace of murderous intent, his eyes sharpened, and he looked towards the man's position. bow.

Invisibly, the sharp aura locked onto the man in an instant, and the coercion of the ninth-level master followed, like a heavy iron block, pressing directly on his body at this moment, making him stiff all over.

Obviously, he has been discovered!

Feeling the coercion of the ninth-level master and the Yunguo imperial guards guarding the convoy, the man took a deep breath.

Can't beat it!
Forget it, if we act at this time, we can certainly stop the peace talks between Yun and Xia.But doing so would also cut off his own path in Yunguo.Without the support of Yunguo's national power, he would never be able to avenge his family feud!
In a moment, the man had already made a trade-off in his mind.

He relaxed his hands slightly, and stepped back a few steps, away from the Xia Guo Mission.

As soon as the mind is gone, the killing intent disappears.

Nan Jiyun took a deep look at the man, and let go of the longbow that was already in his hand.
