Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 205 Wrong, this story book didn't teach it!

Yunguo Imperial Palace, in the harem.

Bian Liuyun moved lightly with lotus steps and walked out of the palace.

Although those who wanted to assassinate her had already been dealt with by Xiao Cheng at this time, so that her life was no longer in danger, and she no longer needed to shelter in the palace.

But when Xiao Cheng went back to the palace last night, for some reason, she still came back by accident.

Xiao Cheng saw that she had no place to stay for the time being, and it was already late at night, so he didn't care.

"Girl, the sun is just right today, do you want to walk around the palace?" the palace attendant who was serving at the side said respectfully.

Although these eunuchs and court ladies don't know Bian Liuyun's identity.But such a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament was brought back to the palace by the emperor himself. Even though she has no identity, no one dared to offend her easily.

Maybe everything is settled, there is no need to worry anymore, and Bian Liuyun is no longer as preoccupied as before.Hearing what the servant in the palace said, she hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity towards Yunguo Palace after all.

She nodded and said softly:
"Okay, I will trouble you!"

The waiters hurriedly bowed and did not even dare to speak.

Now the first lunar month has passed, and it is Zhongqing City, a city that is like spring all the year round.Walking in the palace, looking casually, the sun is shining and spring is everywhere.The warm spring breeze blows, and the shadows of flowers are rippling in the carefully cultivated gardens everywhere.

Touring in such a vibrant spring, Bian Liuyun's mouth could not help but curl up, revealing a gentle and soft smile.

But at this moment, Bian Liuyun suddenly sensed that someone was looking at her.

Bian Liuyun was taken aback for a moment, then turned her head and looked behind her.

Not far away, two women in gorgeous palace attire, surrounded by a group of palace people, cast their gazes at him.

The two women have different temperaments, one of them is tall and slender, with bright features, and the other is delicate, beautiful and supple.Under their appearance and color, there is a garden full of spring scenery, which is not as bright as theirs.

The court lady beside Bian Liuyun was very clever. Seeing Nan Rongshu and Yang Yuhuan, she quickly and quietly moved behind Bian Liuyun, reminding her softly:
"Girl, these are two Zhaoyi ladies. The tall one is Nan Rong Zhaoyi. The one next to her is Yang Zhaoyi."

When Bian Liuyun heard the words, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

In fact, Bian Liuyun had met these two when she was invited into the harem by Concubine Zhang under the identity of Rouning Emperor Ji.And at the banquet in the harem back then, the two of them were also like this, looking at themselves with a look of vigilance as if they were facing an enemy.

The only difference is that at that time, Bian Liuyun had nothing to do with the sight of Nan Rongshu and the others.But now, her heart is moved by it, and she has a completely different and more subtle state of mind than before.

Bian Liuyun hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, raised her head, looked over there firmly, and met Nan Rongshu, Yang Yuhuan and the others.

Sensing Bian Liuyun's gaze, Nan Rongshu narrowed her eyes and said softly:
"Look, what did I say?"

Yang Yuhuan on the side was still a little confused, and responded casually:

"Oh……"

Nan Rongshu frowned, turned to Yang Yuhuan in front of her, with a serious face, and said in a deep voice:
"I see you, you don't understand at all!"

Faced with Nan Rongshu's solemn and serious expression, Yang Yuhuan twisted her body unnaturally, and immediately stammered, saying:

"Understood, what do you know?"

"Emperor Rou Ning from Xia Kingdom, before entering the palace, His Majesty has already given half of the Queen's ceremonial guard, and set up a new position for her under the Queen and above Zhaoyi. This means that she has already It's on top of the two of us!" Nan Rongshu's voice was hurried, as if she was facing a big crisis.

Yang Yuhuan blinked her big eyes, and said in a daze:

"so what?"

"So, the two of us have to put aside our past suspicions, stop being angry, and think about how to deal with her together!" Nan Rongshu said in a deep voice.

Yang Yuhuan hesitated for a while, then shook his head again and again, saying:
"Emperor Concubine Rou Ning, because of her noble background, His Majesty set up a new status. In the harem, the friendship with His Majesty is what matters, and status is not important. If we Fighting fiercely in the harem will upset His Majesty, but it will only add to His Majesty's troubles!"

Hearing Yang Yuhuan's words, Nan Rongshu frowned, and said with doubts on her face:

"You thought of that yourself?"

In this way, if you say it from your mouth, it is very inconsistent with your personality, okay!

"No, it was my sisters who told me... I think it makes sense. Your Majesty is already very worried about dealing with state affairs." Yang Yuhuan said seriously.

In fact, Yang Yuhuan's sisters may not be able to say these words.

Come to think of it, these words were most likely transmitted through Yang Yuhuan's sisters by Ma Minwen, the former Shangshuling who had resigned from office and declined visits from all his disciples and old officials.

Today's Yang Yuhuan, although still ignorant.But because the in-laws of the three sisters have become important figures who have influenced the three families of Ma, Qu, and Tao, and how many generations of wealth can be passed on.So there are some things, Ma Minwen, an old fox, naturally wants to remind him behind his back.

Nan Rongshu looked at the sincere Yang Yuhuan, and felt numb.

No, to sow dissension, to fight each other, and to reap the benefits of the fisherman.Such a perfect plan, why not be fooled?In this storybook, it doesn't teach them what to do if they don't fall for it...

On the other side, the clever court lady behind Bian Liuyun looked at her with a strange expression, and looked straight at the two Zhaoyis, feeling a little flustered in her heart, and hurriedly moved behind Bian Liuyun with a look of embarrassment on her face ,road:

"Girl, let's go back first. Those two, after all, are Empress Zhaoyi..."

Everyone in the palace knew that these two Zhaoyi empresses were very favored by His Majesty.

Although this one was also brought into the palace by His Majesty himself, sooner or later, one day he will jump on a branch.But now there is no position, if they cause a dispute, these palace people dare not, and they have no name to help.

Hearing the words, Bian Liuyun turned to look at the palace servants beside her.

In fact, with her intelligence, with a little thought, she can figure out the minds of these palace servants.

Her eyelids drooped for a moment, and when she lifted them up again, there was a hint of firmness on her gentle and majestic face.

"Let's go!"

"Yes."
-
In front of the State Guesthouse, where the Li Dynasty resided, Aohou Lihu stepped out of the car under the escort of the palace eunuchs and imperial guards.

Seeing Aohou's return, those Li Dynasty guards who had been waiting for a long time breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

"Aohou, are you okay..." an official of the mission stepped forward and asked.

Li Hu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Just now, the emperor of Yunguo received an audience and the date of the official signing of the peace treaty has already been finalized. Don't worry, everyone!"

Hearing this, all the mission officials let out a long sigh of relief, but at the same time couldn't help showing a bitter smile.

The Li Dynasty was defeated one after another in front of the Yun Kingdom, its elite was exhausted, and the country's power declined.Up to now, it can only barely maintain the line of defense.

Under such circumstances, the Li Dynasty missions who came to the peace talks should not expect to receive the courteous reception from the court of Yun Kingdom.

It has been a month since the mission came to Zhongqing City, and they have been ignored by the officials of Yunguo everywhere.No matter how hard these envoys tried, but up to now, they have not even handed over the Li Dynasty Credentials brought by the envoys.The government and the opposition in Yunguo acted as if they did not exist.

Under such circumstances, as long as these mission officials have a trace of dignity, they will inevitably feel humiliated.

Now they heard that Aohou had finished the peace talks, but they didn't have the slightest joy of completing the task in their hearts, instead they felt extremely aggrieved!
Li Hu moved his lips when he saw the appearance of the members of the mission, but he did not speak after all, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

His face sank, and he walked straight into the station.

"Where's General Chen? Let him come to see the Marquis!" Li Hu said in a deep voice.

The people on the side heard the words and immediately said:

"Aohou, General Chen Shao left earlier!"

When Li Hu heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked involuntarily:

"Where have you been?"

"I don't know, if General Chen doesn't say anything, it's not easy for us to ask..."

Li Hu suddenly felt something was wrong, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Hurry up and come back to him, the Marquis has something to explain to him!"

"Yes!"
-
At the same time, the Xia Guo Mission is not far away.

King Qi looked at a group of imperial guards escorting Ao Houli back, with a strange expression on his face, and said:
"Put it back so soon?"

Feng Chu, who was on the side, was also a little surprised, and said:
"Yeah, it's so fast, it's not like Yunhuang's style!"

The two of them naturally knew that as long as Li Hu acted as a Li Dynasty missionary, Xiao Cheng would not be able to really deal with them.

However, judging from the various methods Xiao Cheng used to eliminate the forces in the Yun Kingdom, the two still felt that with Xiao Cheng's vicious character, at least the other members of the Li Dynasty Mission should be in a state of panic all day long. Protect back is.

Now that they came back so soon, it was a bit beyond their guess.

King Qi frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"This Emperor Yun is really..."

Halfway through speaking, King Qi shook his head in a complicated way.

Feng Chu, who was on the side, suddenly had a heart move, looked at King Qi, and said with a serious tone and expression:
"Emperor Yun's methods are difficult to figure out. Sometimes he is gentle, like a spring breeze blowing on his face. Sometimes he is tough, and when he strikes, he is merciless and extremely ruthless. And this is exactly the genius of the Emperor of the Yun Kingdom. If you have the heart, you might as well learn from it." Learn from Emperor Yun."

Upon hearing this, King Qi looked at Feng Chu and nodded slightly.

Many things that happened during this period also made him understand that those straight-forward, strong and fragile methods in the military are not applicable everywhere.

He used to disdain that his third brother, His Royal Highness Prince Jin's methods were too soft.But he never thought that he himself was too strong.The setbacks during this period suddenly made him wake up.

"This king was outspoken and arrogant before, so he didn't know this way. If there are any mistakes or omissions in the future, you might as well speak up!" King Qi looked at Feng Chu and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Feng Chu suddenly smiled, nodded and said:
"Hahaha, it's not too late for His Highness to wake up now, it's not too late!"

At this time, a soldier came to report suddenly, saying:
"Your Highness, Yun Guoting Lieutenant Si Zhi Song Ci, please see me!"

King Qi and Feng Chu looked at each other, nodded immediately and said:
"Bring it!"

When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately withdrew.Not long after, the soldiers led Song Ci to come.

Song Ci bowed slightly to King Qi and said:

"Meet King Qi!"

King Qi bowed to Song Cixu, and immediately said:
"Song Sizhi, don't be too polite. Why are you here today?"

Song Ci raised his hand and arched, saying:
"By His Majesty's order, return the person who poisoned the princess to the hands of King Qi."

Song Ci paused, then continued:
"Your Majesty, after all, these people are from the Xia Kingdom, and they were only involved in the matter of poisoning the princess, so they were not handed over immediately. Now that everything is settled, they still have to be handed over to His Highness!"

Upon hearing this, King Qi exchanged a glance with Feng Chu, and said hastily:
"Can you find out who is behind it?"

Hearing this, Song Ci nodded with a sullen face and said:
"After entering the Dongchang prison, few people can survive."

In the East Factory, most of them were born as eunuchs in the palace.Those who are not physically sound also have mental problems.In addition, in the deep palace compound of more than 600 years, I don't know how many methods of torture have been conceived.

Song Ci has always advocated the use of evidence to settle cases, and it is hard to like Dongchang's methods.

Seeing this, King Qi hurriedly asked:
"Who is the person behind the scenes?"

Hearing this, Song Ci immediately took out the file that had been prepared in his bosom, handed it to King Qi, and said:

"The eighth prince of your country, King Chu, may be involved in this matter."

King Qi took the file as soon as he glanced at it, his face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Yu Zhaoke!"

The eighth prince of the Xia Kingdom, Yu Zhaoke, King of Chu, and his mother and concubine were born in a family in the south of the Yangtze River. They are at the center of the dynasty and have many supporters. They are considered the most promising princes today.

King Qi and him, in fact, have never met each other since they were adults.But after he moved Yu Yingyao, the same mother and sister of King Qi, the two of them had already become an endless situation.

Song Ci lowered his head slightly, and continued:

"Your Majesty has ordered that this matter will be reported to your court!"

In order to win the heir, he originally planned to secretly poison the princess, and then it was revealed that King Qi secretly found a substitute for the princess to deceive the two countries, making King Qi lose the trust of Emperor Xia, and at the same time completely offend Yunguo.

But he didn't want to, because of the cooperation between Xiao Cheng and King Qi, the King of Chu fell into such a situation directly.The future king of Chu, even if he is not imprisoned, will definitely lose the possibility of seizing the heir.

Seeing that King Qi was agitated, Feng Chu quickly answered:
"Please Song Sizhi, thank His Majesty Yunhuang on behalf of the foreign minister!",

Song Ci nodded slightly, turned and left with a wink.

Seeing Song Ci leave, Feng Chu took the dossier from King Qi's hand and read it carefully.

King Qi on the side gradually calmed down, looked at Feng Chu's appearance, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"something wrong?"

Feng Chu closed the file, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then opened his eyes and said:
"could not find it!"

"Then what do you look like?" King Qi asked puzzled.

Feng Chu shook his head and said doubtfully:

"The people behind the scenes, it's too easy to come out, too easy! The Chu king's subordinates must also have high-level embroidered clothes envoys. Such a rough method is really a bit embarrassing for the embroidered clothes!"

Speaking of this, Feng Chu suddenly said:

"There was also the sudden appearance at the Lantern Festival that caused Bian Liuyun to escape, which was not mentioned in the dossier..."

Speaking of this, King Qi suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, he could not help coughing lightly, and said:
"There is no need to continue investigating this matter..."

Hearing this, Feng Chu took a serious look at King Qi, nodded suddenly, and said:

"That's right, the king of Chu's threat to His Royal Highness has been removed, that's enough."

King Qi nodded first, then shook his head violently and said:
"It's not for this reason, it's just... Forget it, anyway, you should be thinking too much!"
