Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 247 Tianxiong Army and Guanning Cavalry
The huge turntable kept turning, and a blue radiance leaped out, filling Xiao Cheng's sight.

The rays of light diffused, condensing an illusory figure.

I saw a middle-aged man with a disheveled dragon robe and gray hair scattered behind him.Although he is in a state of embarrassment and lacks the majesty of an emperor, he stares ahead with grief and indignation in his eyes, and the determination is fully displayed on his face.

Only the desolate and solemn voice rang in Xiao Cheng's ears.

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!"

【Blue Dika, Ming Sizong——Zhu Youjian
Card skills:
Afterglow of Ming Dynasty——Treasury + 40 taels of silver, business and mining values ​​increased by a certain value.Tianxiong Army and Guanning Cavalry can be formed (when Lu Xiangsheng leads the Tianxiong Army and Yuan Chonghuan leads the Guanning Cavalry, the extra attack power will be +1), and all troops will deal +15% damage to the rebels
Vigilance in the morning and evening—going up to the court without reducing physical strength, and being happy +10, the chance of beauty’s pregnancy -10%; the card can be stopped at any time, after stopping, the effect will be invalid, and it cannot be used again.Assassination probability -50%; poison cannot be used, and when health is less than 30, the effect of pulse is doubled.

Harsh and Suspicious——Every time you change a central official position, the official loyalty -2; the growth rate of influence influence is reduced, and the probability of faction struggle is reduced; the probability of obtaining a famous official is -5%, and the probability of a famous official is -1% every year for five years ; A courtier cannot become a close minister; the central officials are disrupted every one and a half years, and they cannot hold their original positions after the disruption. 】

The lucky draw this time turned out to be the long-lost Dika, Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The blue light changed again, and the phantom figure gradually dissipated, finally turning into a blue card.Only when Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand, it slowly fell into his hand.

Xiao Cheng sized it up carefully, and his eyes immediately fell on Dika's skill [Daming Afterglow].

【Tianxiong Army, Level [-] Special Archers, can be formed】

[Soldier required training degree - 80]

[Precondition - Dika skill "Daming Afterglow"]

[Required equipment - crossbow * number of troops * 1, heavy armor * number of troops * 1, spear * number of troops * 1]

[Characteristics——One mind: The soldiers are all from the same hometown, sharing joys and sorrows, and one mind.When the army loses 40%, the morale is doubled and the attack power is increased by 2 points]

[Attributes - individual combat power: 22, attack: 8, defense: 3, blood volume: 9, movement: 2]

Today's Xiao Cheng has a third-level cavalry under his command, and Youzhou cavalry who use the surprise attack method.There is also the third-level heavy infantry Baimao elite soldiers who have just been acquired and started to form.

And this day's Xiongjun just made up for the shortcomings of Xiao Cheng's armies' long-range attack.

In addition to the Tianxiong Army, there are also second-level cavalry Guan Ning Cavalry.

【Guan Ning cavalry, second-level special cavalry, can be formed】

[Soldier required training degree - 70]

[Precondition - Dika skill "Daming Afterglow"]

[Required equipment - war horse * number of troops * 1, heavy armor * number of troops * 1, spear * number of troops * 1, chain armor * number of troops * 1]

[Characteristics - Liao people defend Liao soil: when guarding the frontier, the defense power increases by 2, and the blood volume increases by 1]

【属性——单兵战斗力：26, 攻击：9，防御：4，血量：10, 移动：3】

Although it is a second-level cavalry, but because it is a heavy armored cavalry, its individual combat ability is actually a little higher than that of Youzhou Tuqi.

However, it is this feature that does not match the heavy cavalry.

Well, although it is somewhat in line with historical facts...

This emperor card, with two special arms, does not look like a blue emperor card at all.Just looking at these three skills, one and a half of them all have negative effects, which is reasonable.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with the purple emperor card [King Xuan of Qi] on Xiao Cheng's body now, but Xiao Cheng is still a bit greedy for the two special arms that come with it.

[Strategy value: 572]

[Whether to consume 400 strategy points to obtain Dika skills. 】

With a thought in Xiao Cheng's mind, the 400 strategy points were consumed in an instant.

The blue tika in his hand shattered immediately, and only a faint sigh was heard, accompanied by a voice full of unwillingness.

"All the ministers misunderstood me..."

The blue light scattered around, and a light spot flew out of it, and suddenly landed in Xiao Cheng's body.

[Dayun Kingdom Zhaosheng first year (summer) June [-]th
文学：44 武术：100(怒龙剑+10, 技能效果+5)道德：62
Fitness: 93 Age: 17 Health: 81

Additional skills: Destiny Zhaozhao, Dali Duan Clan, Daming Afterglow]

Xiao Cheng looked at the Goldfinger panel and nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Feng Bao's voice sounded outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Your Majesty, this slave has something to ask for an audience!"

"come in!"

Hearing this, Feng Bao stepped quickly, walked into the hall, saluted and said:
"Your Majesty, according to the appearance of Xiang Shan, the steward of the Qu Mansion, we found a rather suspicious place at the East Factory. All the arrangements are ready tonight, and we will raid there."

When Xiao Cheng heard the words, he immediately said in a deep voice:

"What's the result?"

"There were 13 people in that courtyard, all of whom were dead soldiers. The leader escaped through a secret passage under the cover of others' desperate efforts. Of the other 12 people, six died in the chaos. After the two were captured, they were not investigated for a while. Killed himself. The remaining four were all captured!"

"Dead man? What's his origin?" Xiao Cheng asked casually.

In fact, Xiao Cheng also had speculations about this question.After all, there were people who sent a large amount of supplies to the southwest of the Xia Kingdom before. Based on this incident, it was probably the Xia Kingdom's embroidered clothes envoy hidden in Zhongqing City.

Feng Bao bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Although there is no tiger amulet to verify his identity, the captured person could not stand the torture of Dongchang, and he has already confessed that he is the messenger of Xia Guoxiu."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded as expected.

Obviously, the list of embroidered clothes envoys that King Qi gave him earlier was incomplete!

Looking at this time again, the embroiderers spent a lot of time and effort, but in the end they only allowed King Qi, who was in the southwest of Xia Kingdom, to get the most scarce supplies.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that King Qi plotted against him and used the power of Yunguo to clean up the embroidered envoys of Yunguo, so that King Qi's people really took control of the embroidered envoys of Yunguo.

Xiao Cheng thought that King Qi was a straightforward person before, but he didn't expect that there are two faces!
"I remember that Shen Wansan has already taken over the entire material delivery channel!" Xiao Cheng asked again.

When Feng Bao heard this, he hurriedly said:

"In order not to startle the enemy and make Jintangfeng alert, we didn't take over all of them. But as long as His Majesty orders, our East Factory can help Shen Wansan take over immediately."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, his eyelids drooped, and he said flatly:
"In that case, let's do it directly!"

At this time of the matter, you know almost everything you need to know, and obviously there is no need to wait any longer.

Feng Bao bowed slightly and responded:

"Yes!"
-
In the middle of the night, the sound of "da da da" hurried horseshoes and the sound of military boots stepping on the ground suddenly resounded through the city.

The soldiers of the forbidden army scattered out and surrounded the mansion in front of them.

Holding the imperial decree in both hands, the eunuch in the palace rode the horse slowly, escorted by the generals of the forbidden army, and came to the gate of the mansion.

"According to His Majesty's decree, Jintang Peak is suspected of embezzling food and grass, and has connections with foreign countries. The people in the mansion quickly opened the mansion door, and arrested them with their hands tied. They are waiting for interrogation by the court. If there is any intention of resisting, they will be killed!"

The sharp voice, full of killing intent at this moment, spread into the Golden Mansion.

In the golden mansion, no one responded for a long time.

Seeing this, the eunuch in the palace snorted coldly, slowly put away the imperial decree, and immediately looked at the general of the forbidden army beside him.

Seeing this, the general of the Forbidden Army immediately sharpened his eyes, drew out the long sword at his waist, and shouted:

"attack!"

"Kill!" All the soldiers of the forbidden army shouted violently.

All of a sudden, the soldiers rushed to kill, and the ferocity of the battlefield was like a tidal wave, rushing towards the Jin Mansion...
-
Qufu.

After Qu Cheng knew Feng Bao was coming, he personally led the crowd out to greet him.

But when he saw the Dongchang fans behind Feng Bao, his eyelids twitched.

Seeing this, Feng Bao bowed to Qu Cheng kindly and said:
"Master Qu, by His Majesty's order, come here to deliver the decree."

Hearing this, Qu Cheng quickly bowed and was about to salute.

Feng Bao wanted to save some face for Qu Cheng, so he said quickly:
"Master Qu, it's cold in the middle of the night, let's go ahead and talk about it!"

When Qu Cheng heard this, he was even more surprised and uneasy.But he couldn't say much, so he quickly welcomed Qu Cheng in.

It wasn't until everyone entered the mansion that Feng Bao took a look at the family behind Qu Cheng, noticed that Qu Jing and Xiang Shan were standing behind them with their heads down, and then took out the imperial edict.

Seeing this, all the people quickly knelt down on the ground and respectfully listened to the imperial decree.

"Your Majesty's order, Qu Jing, son of the Qu Mansion, and Xiang Shan, the housekeeper, are suspected of embezzling grain and grass, and have ties to foreign countries. The case is very involved, and it will be handed over to Dongchang for detailed investigation!"

This imperial decree, like a bolt from the blue, hit Qu Cheng on the head, making him froze in place, not knowing what to say.

His only son, Qu Jing, although not very talented, has a reliable temper.Some foolish things may have been done, but such things as embezzling food and grass, treason and collaborating with the enemy are absolutely impossible!
So at this time, the first thought in Qu Cheng's mind was not to doubt what his son had really done, but that His Majesty was afraid of the influence of his three families, and finally began to find excuses to do something.

Qu Jing, who was kneeling behind Qu Cheng, was stunned for a moment after hearing the imperial decree clearly, and then couldn't help but groaned loudly.

"Injustice! What embezzles food and grass, and communicates with foreign countries? I have never done it!"

Xiang Shan on the side also trembled and raised his head in disbelief.

That's it, it was discovered?
Qu Cheng's face was gloomy, he took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth and said:

"Eunuch Feng, what did you do wrong?"

Feng Bao shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said:
"Master Qu, if there is no evidence, why should our family go through this experience?"

When Feng Bao said this, he paused slightly, and continued:
"In the case of the plague in Jianchang Mansion this time, nearly a million refugees were left in Changning County. Your Majesty ordered relief, and you, Master Qu, also know about it. Hu Cao Shangshu Liu Yu colluded with Jintangfeng, a miscellaneous family, to manage the North Border officials, embezzling supplies, exchanging bran for rice to make huge profits. Your son is also involved in it."

"Liu Yu..." Qu Cheng muttered a few words, then turned his head to look at Qu Jing.

Qu Jing heard the words, her face was full of a bewildered expression, subconsciously said:

"Before, I met Master Liu, but it was just that Steward Xiang said I was raising money for my son..."

Speaking of this, Qu Jing also reacted suddenly, turned her head to look at Xiang Shan, and said angrily:

"Xiang Shan, what's going on with this matter?"

At this moment, Xiang Shan's face was pale, he was sweating profusely, his body was limp, and he looked extremely guilty.

Qu Cheng is also a human being, so how could he not see anything unusual at this moment.

Liu Yu was his former official, and Xiang Shan looked like this again.Obviously, this matter really has something to do with the Qu family!

In an instant, Qu Cheng's expression darkened.

Feng Bao raised his hand slightly, so his subordinates stepped forward to take down the two of them.

Seeing Qu Cheng's pale face, Feng Bao gently raised his hand, helped Qu Cheng up, and said:

"Master Qu, before your Majesty came down, you had an explanation with our family..."

Hearing this, Qu Cheng hurriedly raised his head to look at Feng Bao, grabbed his arm, and said:
"Also ask the father-in-law to give pointers!"

Feng Bao nodded, and comforted him in a gentle voice:

"Your Majesty has specifically explained before that this matter should not have much to do with your son, it is just used by his villains. This case needs to be investigated in detail, so I will take Mr. Qu back together. Just wait for the truth to come to light. It doesn't matter to Mr. Fu, His Majesty has an explanation to the government and the people, so Mr. Qu will be fine..."

Hearing this, Qu Cheng subconsciously turned his head to look at his only son.

Qu Jing looked dazed, a little flustered, but without a trace of remorse, obviously not very clear about the matter.

Regarding his son, Qu Cheng thinks he still understands, and he absolutely does not have the guts to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Qu Cheng grabbed Feng Bao's hand and tightened slightly, his voice was low, with a hint of pleading, and said:
"Please father-in-law, take care of my dog..."

Feng Bao nodded slightly, and said softly:

"Don't worry! His Majesty has something on his mind for Master Qu's contribution!"

Hearing this, Qu Cheng was silent for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
-
In a dilapidated courtyard in the city, a figure jumped out of the dry well in the courtyard, then suddenly fell to the ground, and stood there in shock.

With the help of the moonlight, I can see clearly the appearance of this person, it is the Jintang Peak.

Not far from this courtyard is the Jin Mansion.

At this time, the war horse neighed, the iron hooves trampled on the ground, and the sound of murderous shouts, screams, and roars filled with ferocity continued to come from the direction of the Jin Mansion.

The disciples who were loyal to Jintang Peak were doing their best to stop the court soldiers and delay Jintangfeng's time.

But it's a pity that in front of the army formation, the resistance to the shouts of killing is gradually weakening.

The gradually weakening voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Jin Tangfeng's chest one after another, making him feel severe pain in his heart, tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes involuntarily, his face was full of regret.

And at this moment, something suddenly occurred to Jin Tangfeng's mind, and the pupils of his eyes shrank, revealing a look of shock.

He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Jixia Academy outside Zhongqing City.

　Have a meal and continue in the afternoon.
