Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 274 Changes in Jinling City

Xia Guo, Jinling City.

The leading eunuch in the palace held up the bright yellow imperial decree on his right hand, and was guarded by a group of embroidered envoys wearing colorful embroidered brocade clothes, and galloped through the street.More than a hundred palace guards followed closely behind.

As soon as the people on both sides of the street saw this, they knew that the angel in the palace was coming to deliver the decree, so they hurriedly made way for fear of blocking the road.

The horseshoes were flying, and the angels in the palace galloped past, and the people couldn't help talking.

"Ah, Embroidery Envoy! Which adult has lost power again and is going to raid his house?"

The struggle between the DPRK and China has always been fierce, and what the people of Jinling City most often see is that a minister in the DPRK and China loses power due to party disputes and is ordered to be dismissed for investigation.

At this time, I don't know who it is, and said among the crowd:

"That's not right, isn't that place in front of you Ten Kings Street? How can there be adults living there!"

In a word, the voice of the people's discussion suddenly fell silent.

The direction of the people with great fanfare is commonly known as "Ten Kings Street".In the future, the princes who have not been released in the past dynasties are all placed here, and it has become a place for the children of the royal family.

Inherited for more than 600 years, there is already more than one street on the side of Shiwang Street, and there are ten palaces there!

Over the years, as the battle for the heir apparent became more apparent, the battle in the Great Xia Dynasty became more intense.But there has never been a time when it has affected the princes!

"Hey, that's really strange!"

"That's right, the battle for political reform a few years ago was so fierce, it didn't involve these princes!"

"Do you think the position of the crown prince has been decided? Speaking of which, our Majesty will be over 70 this year..."

Among the crowd, someone casually said such a sentence.

The people who were still talking about it just now, no matter how big their hearts are, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

A few years ago, Confucianism and Legalism fought against each other in the name of political reform.At that time, in the imperial court, the princes who wanted to save the position showed their special abilities and attacked their opponents, which attracted all the military officials of the imperial court to stand in line.

At the end of the trouble, nearly [-]% of the senior officials in the court were dismissed and investigated, and the court situation was extremely turbulent.

But even if there was such a big commotion, when Emperor Xia settled the matter afterwards, the princes would all be safe and sound.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other, and immediately knew that something big was about to happen.

Someone swallowed, opened his mouth to smooth things over, and said:

"Hahaha, what nonsense to say, it's just an imperial decree. I can't say, which prince is doing a good job and receiving a reward!"

This is bullshit!How can there be a decree to reward, followed by a lot of embroidered clothes envoys?This is clear, it is the rhythm of copying the house!

But the people at this time did not dare to pull it off.Do you really think that the embroidered clothes envoys are vegetarians?Talking about government affairs and the royal family, isn't it life-threatening!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the "political key" people immediately joined in and laughed.

"That's it!"

"What nonsense!"

After finishing speaking, everyone dispersed in a rush, and left in a hurry, for fear of being stopped by the embroidered clothes envoy who rushed over.

On the other side, the eunuchs in the palace held the imperial decree in their hands and led a large group of people straight to Shiwang Street, turned over and walked quickly to the gate of a palace.

The guards in front of the vermilion lacquered gate saw that the eunuch was about to break in, so they immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Then the eunuch snorted, raised his head slightly, and said coldly:

"The imperial decree has arrived, His Royal Highness King Jin please accept the decree!"

On the plaque above the eunuch's head, the three big characters "Jin Wang's Mansion" hung on the door gleamingly.

Several guards have been serving in front of the Prince Jin's Mansion for many years, and it is not the first time they have encountered a decree.

But this king of Jin has always been good at dancing, he is cautious, and the errands he handles are always very appropriate, and almost all the people who come to deliver orders are rewards.The eunuchs who came were all flattering, but never had such an attitude.

Those with brains, suddenly felt something bad in their hearts, and said quickly:
"Please wait a moment, father-in-law, I will report when I wait..."

Hearing this, the eunuch sneered and said:
"Go!"

After finishing speaking, he pushed away the guards blocking him with one hand, and walked towards the palace swaggeringly.

In the backyard of the palace, King Jin, who was teasing his newborn grandson with his arms in his arms, immediately froze when he heard the news that an angel had come to deliver the decree and that he had a bad attitude.

Looking at the flustered servants, King Jin lowered his eyes, and immediately handed the grandson in his arms to the nanny beside him, and said in a deep voice:

"Send someone to send a message to Master Tai Servant Zhang, Da Xingling Master Yao, and Doctor Yu Shi Doctor Qi, asking them to come to the mansion to see the orphan as soon as possible!"

Hearing the words, the subordinates quickly bowed their heads and saluted, saying:
"Yes!"

King Jin straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, turned and walked out of the backyard.

At this time, the servants in the palace had already prepared the incense table to welcome the imperial decree.The eunuchs in the palace also stood aside holding the imperial decree, waiting for the arrival of King Jin.

Surrounded by the inner circle of the mansion, the King of Jin walked slowly to the eunuch in the palace, raised his robe and knelt down to salute, and said in a deep voice:
"My son accepts the order!"

Seeing this, the eunuch in the palace immediately displayed the imperial decree and read:

"I am ordered by Haotian's family to order:
The chaos in the six counties in the southwest has caused turmoil in the country, the people are in dire straits, and the people are suffering. I am deeply worried.Fortunately, Yu Zhaoli, king of Jin, made great contributions to the country by offering advice to the Southwest. "

King Jin was taken aback when he heard the content of the imperial decree.

Give hundreds of embroidered clothes envoys to listen to orders in front of you?It has been 600 years since the founding of Daxia, but such a reward has never been heard.

Regardless of some princes, they can secretly mobilize some embroidered clothes envoys.But that's only because there are high-level embroidered clothes envoys who take refuge in them, so they can mobilize part of the embroidered clothes for their own use.

On the bright side, the Embroidered Clothes Envoy is the personal soldier of the Great Xia Emperor, except for the Emperor, no one has ever been able to control this force.

And suggestions?

When did I offer advice to the six counties in the southwest?

Just when King Jin was in a daze, the confidantes beside him had all the worry on their faces and showed surprise expressions.

The embroidered clothes envoy is the emperor's personal soldier, and no one can mobilize it except the emperor.But now, an embroidered clothes envoy is given to listen to orders in the mansion.In this way, isn't His Majesty implying that His Majesty is in his heart?
His Highness has won this battle for succession!

The confidantes only thought that they were about to become the ministers of the hidden mansion, and their faces suddenly showed excitement.

At this time, the eunuch in the palace closed the imperial decree in his hands, and said with a smirk:

"His Royal Highness, accept the order!"

King Jin came back to his senses slightly, and when he got up, he saw the appearance of the eunuch delivering the decree, and was shocked in his heart.

Something is wrong, it is definitely not that simple!
If it is true that the father wants to accept the crown prince himself, then it is too late for the eunuch who delivered the decree to curry favor, so it might look like this!
Thinking of this, King Jin's heart skipped a beat, he raised his hands heavily, and accepted the imperial edict.

"Thank you, father, for your kindness!"

Holding the imperial decree, King Jin slowly stood up, looked at the eunuch in front of him, and suddenly asked:
"Dare to ask my father-in-law, before this king, I didn't offer any strategy for the Southwest affairs, why did my father issue such an imperial edict?"

Hearing this, the eunuch smirked and said:
"His Royal Highness Jin was joking. The impeachment of His Royal Highness Qi for violating his will, and the remonstrance against the southwestern rebels, both to suppress and appease, is not what you presented to His Majesty... Your Majesty has issued an order according to your remonstrance, Immediately recall His Royal Highness King Qi, and ordered to surrender!"

Hearing this, King Jin's face turned slightly pale, his heart beat wildly, and he said in a deep voice:

"My lord, I haven't proposed any countermeasures..."

The eunuch's face sank, and he said word by word:
"His Royal Highness King Jin, if His Majesty says that you have made meritorious service in offering advice, then it is meritorious service in offering advice!"

In one sentence, King Jin was directly overwhelmed.

The eunuch who passed the decree turned around slightly, looked at the embroidered envoys behind him, and said coldly:

"Listen to me, all of you! His Royal Highness King Jin is a body of ten thousand gold, and nothing can be lost! You are all carefully selected by your godfather, and you must take good care of His Highness Jin! Otherwise, your godfather will not spare you." you!"

King Jin subconsciously glanced at the eunuch who delivered the decree when he heard the words.

If he remembered correctly, this person seemed to be Emperor Xia's confidant, the godson of the great eunuch Sixi in the palace.

Only the eunuch who is in charge of the embroidered envoys for Emperor Xia can scare these embroidered envoys...

All the embroidered clothes envoys immediately shouted loudly and said:
"Follow the father-in-law's order!"

At this time, all the confidantes in Prince Jin's mansion also began to feel that something was wrong when they saw the attitudes of these people in front of them.

At this time outside the mansion, a burst of shouting was heard.

"Let go of me! I am His Highness's man, you are so brave, dare to stop me!"

The hoarse shouting made the eyelids of all the people in Prince Jin's Mansion twitch.

King Jin raised his head abruptly, and saw that his confidant, who had just been ordered by him to pass the decree, was escorted in by several embroiderers, and then pushed hard to the ground.

An embroidered envoy, who didn't even look at the ugly face, went straight to the eunuch who delivered the decree, and cupped his hands and said:
"Elder-in-law, this person is plotting against the law and secretly wants to leave the mansion. Someone must have planted an eyeliner in the mansion of Prince Jin!"

King Jin heard the words and quickly said:

"My father-in-law misunderstood, this person was indeed sent by the king to handle it..."

As soon as the words fell, he saw the murderous intent flash in the eunuch's eyes, and he said firmly:
"kill!"

When the embroidered clothes envoy heard the words, he immediately drew his long knife out of its sheath.

Seeing a flash of blood, the head rolled down immediately, and the blood was scattered on the blue bricks of the palace.

The eunuch who passed the decree sneered, pretending to be listening, and asked:

"What did His Highness just say? The servant has bad ears, so I didn't hear clearly!"

"What are you doing, how dare you offend His Highness!" A confidant glared and said angrily.

When the eunuch who passed the decree heard the words, he turned his head, pointed at the man, and said sharply:
"This person looks suspicious, take it down!"

The embroidered clothes envoy at the side heard the words, and immediately stepped forward without saying a word.

King Jin's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he took a step forward and shouted:

"This is someone from the palace!"

After all, it is Tianhuang nobleman, the high-ranking prince and prince.At this time, he shouted violently, and the momentum of his whole body overflowed, and the embroidered clothes messenger who stepped forward was shocked, and his footsteps froze.

Seeing this, the decree eunuch was slightly startled.

After deliberating for a moment, he snorted softly, waved slightly to his subordinates, and said:
"That's all! Since His Royal Highness Jin speaks, forget it... But there are many people who want to do things wrong to His Royal Highness Jin. In short, you should put the whole palace under surveillance. A mouse and a fly, Don't let it go easily!"

"Yes!"

The embroidered clothes envoys shouted in unison, making the faces of King Jin and his confidants turn pale.

What is giving the embroidered clothes envoy to listen to the order in front of him, it is clear, it is a ban with a different name!
What the hell happened, such a big change in the situation.

The eunuch who delivered the decree stroked his sleeves and led the people to turn around and leave.A group of embroidered clothes envoys quickly took over the entire Prince Jin Mansion at this time, and the guards of the entire Prince Jin Mansion became extremely tight, eliminating the possibility of contact with outsiders.

Of course, the people in Prince Jin's mansion should not even think about contacting people from the outside world.

King Jin waved away his confidant, and sat in the study alone in a daze, forbidding anyone to enter the study.

His waist, which had been upright all the time, was slightly raised, and his face was lost in thought, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

And at this moment, an embroiderer suddenly opened the study door and walked in.

King Jin raised his head slightly, frowned upside down, and said in a hoarse voice:

"The king said, everyone will be kicked out! You are so courageous!"

Although the King of Jin already knew that he had lost everything, he was still the prince after all, how could he allow a little embroidered envoy to offend him!
The embroidered envoy who was reprimanded showed no fear at this time, and bowed generously to King Jin, saying:
"Miss asked the villain to come to see His Highness and report to you that he is safe!"

King Jin frowned, and said in a deep voice:
"Miss?"

The embroidered envoy smiled slightly, took out a cloud pattern pendant from his bosom, and placed it in front of King Jin.

King Jin lowered his head to take a look, his eyes widened suddenly, and subconsciously said:
"Yingyao's jade pendant..."

He raised his head suddenly and said in surprise:

"Shouldn't she be in Yun Country at this time?"

When the embroidered clothes envoy heard the words, he remained silent and did not reply.

Jin Wang looked a little flustered, and after a long time, he said weakly:

"It seems that she already knows what this king has done!"

"Although His Royal Highness King Jin has found someone to take the blame for the marriage, there are still loopholes in the investigation. There is also the matter of the Southwest, and the young lady also knows about the matter of His Highness!"

When King Jin heard this, his face was a little cloudy and uncertain.

Obviously, the person behind the scenes who has been scheming against King Qi is this His Royal Highness King Jin who has a good personal relationship with him and is regarded by King Qi as his real brother!

King Jin sighed slightly and said:
"Although this king knows that Yingyao has been scheming since she was a child, she never has such a great ability to easily reach out to the embroiderer! Tell me, among the five second-rank embroiderers, which one is in charge?" Old Nineteen? This king is now also plotted by Old Nineteen?"

Hearing the words, the embroidered envoy lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice:
"No villain can answer His Royal Highness Jin Wang's question! For the answer, His Royal Highness Jin Wang might as well think about it for himself."

After speaking, the embroidered envoy immediately saluted, turned and left, leaving only King Jin sitting in the study with a cloudy face.

At this time, the entire Jinling City also became undercurrents and turbulent following this imperial decree.

Given the embroidered clothes envoy to listen to orders in the Prince Jin's mansion, is it true that the emperor has appointed the reserve position?But didn't there still be news before that it was said that it belonged to King Qi?

I don't know how many cups and cups in the palaces of the princes were broken because of this.Hundreds of officials in the court also sent people constantly, trying their best to find out the news.Those who are even more impatient have already arranged for congratulatory gifts to be delivered to Prince Jin's mansion, and they will be put into effect.

But today's Prince Jin's Mansion, perhaps in order to keep a low profile, closed the mansion to see no visitors, and just accepted the gifts.

And at the same time, Jin Wang's confidantes such as the court servant, Da Xingling, and Yushi doctor have been quietly captured for various reasons...
