Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 297
The night is dark and the moon is shining like water. It used to be majestic and majestic, symbolizing the authority of the royal family of Yunguo. The Yunguo Palace, which people dare not explore, has become extraordinarily quiet at this time.

Outside the hall of Changqiu, Xiao Cheng was dressed in unlined clothes, only a robe, and walked slowly outside the hall, looking at the bright moon above his head with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the arrival of Zishi.

Seeing this, the servant in the palace behind him quickly persuaded softly:

"Your Majesty, the weather is slightly cold, let's go back to the palace!"

Xiao Cheng heard the words, sighed lightly, and said:
"It's okay!"

The young man's body is full of vigor, sleeping in the palace with the beauty in his arms, he feels hot and dry, he can't sleep no matter what, so it's better to come out to get some air.

"What time is it?" Xiao Cheng asked suddenly.

The palace attendant accompanying him hurriedly said:

"Return to Your Majesty, the hour has just passed!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded, and continued to look at the moon above his head in boredom.

Alas, this night life is really lacking!

"Your Majesty~ Your Majesty~"

A sweet and sweet voice came from the door of the back hall.

Her voice was really nice, but her way of speaking, which was pretending to be soft and deliberately elongated the ending, made Xiao Cheng's skin crawl all over.

Although I didn't see him, I only heard his voice.But the concubine in the palace can talk like this, there is no one else except Nan Rongshu!
Xiao Cheng sighed again, turned his head and said:
"Shu'er, how many times have I told you, talk normally!"

Nan Rongshu, who was tightly wrapped, supported her back with both hands, and her flat belly protruded. With the careful support of several court ladies, she walked towards Xiao Cheng step by step!
Seeing her appearance, Xiao Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth again, and couldn't help saying:

"You haven't shown your feelings yet, so you shouldn't need to be like this..."

Halfway through, Xiao Cheng said helplessly:

"Forget it, as long as you are happy!"

The result of the lack of nightlife is that Nan Rongshu has goods in her stomach.

As for why she was pregnant first in the harem?
Nan Rongshu has a clingy personality and always fights for favor in vain, so compared to Bian Liuyun and Yang Yuhuan, she has to, uh, be more open...

Heck, anyway, it's a good thing.

After all, Xiao Cheng is not too young now, and there was no news from the palace before, and the courtiers like to worry about the emperor's heir when they have nothing to do.Now that Nan Rongshu has it, it can be regarded as peace of mind for some people.

Nan Rongshu let out a coquettish snort, threw off the supporting maid beside her, and slipped into Xiao Cheng's embrace, and said in a coquettish voice:
"Why did your majesty wake up all of a sudden?"

Xiao Cheng felt the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, his throat became dry, he couldn't help laughing twice.

He is not a man with a brain, but since Nan Rongshu became pregnant, he has lived in Changqiu Palace for half a month in order to appease her.I can only hug but not touch every night, and I am at a young age, I really can't bear it...

"It just suddenly occurred to me that there is still government affairs to be done..." Xiao Cheng quickly changed the subject.

Having said that, Xiao Cheng suddenly raised his head, and said in a deep voice to the palace servants beside him:
"Xuan Fengbao is here now, I have something to ask him!"

Hearing the words, the palace servants at the side quickly bowed and retreated to summon him.

When Nan Rongshu heard this, she puffed her face and said:

"Why is Your Majesty so busy?"

Xiao Cheng coughed lightly, pretending to be worried and said:

"There is a war on the border, how can I rest assured? In the next few days, I am afraid that I will have to stay in the Hall of Mental Cultivation until midnight before returning. Cough, cough, your health is critical now, and I will not come to you tomorrow , you should rest well!"

Nan Rongshu, who was huddled in Xiao Cheng's arms, heard a smirk on the corner of her mouth, then immediately covered it up, looked up at Xiao Cheng, with a hint of teasing in her bright eyes, and said:
"Oh, so that's what it is..."

Xiao Cheng sneered, and avoided her sight with some guilt.

With a bright smile on Nan Rongshu's face, she retracted into Xiao Cheng's arms again, her cheeks pressed against Xiao Cheng's chest, feeling the sense of steadiness and peace of mind in her heart, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, remember to come and see your concubines every day!"

"Naturally!" Xiao Cheng immediately promised.

As the emperor, if he didn't take her seriously, why would he come to take care of her every night for the past half month?Why do you need to find excuses to comfort me in a gentle voice, and still show a guilty conscience?

That's enough!

Xiao Cheng hugged her, felt the softness in his hands, felt even hotter in his heart, coughed lightly:

"Shu'er's health is important right now, so let's go back to the palace first!"

Hearing this, Nan Rongshu suddenly came to her senses.

Yup!Now that I am pregnant, it is the most critical time.In the scripts I read, there are often scenes of miscarriage...

Caressing her flat belly, Nan Rongshu suddenly stood up straight, bowed and said:
"The concubine has to go back first!"

A group of maids hurried forward, carefully protecting Nan Rongshu and walking towards the palace.

Looking at Nan Rongshu's leaving figure, Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing.

And at this moment, Feng Bao, whose clothes were a little disheveled and out of breath, walked quickly to Xiao Cheng, bowed down quickly, and respectfully said:
"Slaves, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng turned his head slightly, looked at Feng Bao, and said with a smile:
"It came so fast, you didn't fall asleep tonight?"

When Feng Bao heard this, his drooping face twitched slightly.

A personal eunuch like him, even if he is not on duty, he still has to prepare for the emperor's call, so naturally he came not too late.

"Yes, this servant has not fallen asleep just now." Feng Bao said in a complicated tone.

All right, you are the emperor, you have the final say!

Feng Bao paused, and said seriously:
"Your Majesty summoned him, but for the Li Dynasty's affairs?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng touched his chin, nodded and said:

"Well, yes! I have this matter in mind, so I summoned you suddenly."

"Yang Dayan came to report. He ordered the army to search with all his strength, but he still found Li Weining's whereabouts. You Dongchang fan has a deep root in Li Dynasty now, have you noticed any news?"

When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly bowed and replied:
"Returning to Your Majesty, the current Li Dynasty Hall has just received the news of the navy's defeat. There is a lot of turmoil, and the news from all parties is unknown. But after a real investigation, it turns out that they are just some people who are holding the banner of Li Weining and want to fight for power. , there is no real news about it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng laughed and said:

"I'm afraid Li Weining is in a terrible mess right now. Looking around, there are only a few confidantes left. I don't know where to hide!"

Feng Bao laughed a couple of times agreeingly, and couldn't help but say:
"Your Majesty, now General An Dong is leading [-] soldiers from Xiushan County to attack the Li Dynasty. Although Anpei County in the Li Dynasty has tens of thousands of troops, there is absolutely no possibility of resisting my Dayun Bingfeng. Anpei County , Bingfeng pointed directly at Shenglong Mansion, Li Chao is already a grasshopper after autumn, why should His Majesty worry too much?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng frowned, jokingly said:
"What? Is it to blame me for calling you in the middle of the night?"

When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly apologized and said with a smile:

"Slaves, how dare you, Your Majesty, stop joking."

Xiao Cheng's smile subsided slightly, he shook his head, and said in a deep voice:
"The Li Dynasty occupies the south of the sky, with thousands of miles across the country, and tens of millions of people. The Li family has established the dynasty for more than [-] years, with a deep foundation and orthodoxy deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. How can it be so easy to swallow?" of?"

Among the three kingdoms of Yun, Xia, and Li, the Li Dynasty was indeed the weakest.But his weakest is also relatively speaking.Placed in the world, it is also a rare big country.

Xiao Cheng never really felt that Li Chao could easily handle it just because of his victory in the battle of Nanpanjiang!

Not to mention the West Road Navy stationed in the west of the Li Dynasty, and the tens of thousands of troops in the country.In other words, among the ruling and opposition parties of the Li Dynasty, those who could not bear the humiliation of the subjugation of the country could not easily submit to the rule of the Yun Kingdom.

The wars of destroying countries throughout the ages have never ended by conquering the enemy's country.

The law and order war is not the most difficult to fight, but it is recognized as the most energy-intensive battle.

Now in front of Xiao Cheng, although Xia Guo has repeatedly suffered defeats, but the size and national strength of four or five times that of Yun Guo are placed there, if Xia Guo is slightly careless and let Xia Guo breathe, the situation will not look good!
So at this moment, how dare Xiao Cheng spend too much energy on Li Chao?
Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly moved his eyes and said:
"By the way, Li Chao's navy was defeated and Li Weining disappeared among the rebellious army. Did you inform Yao Guangxiao who was in Shenglong Mansion in the first place?"

Feng Bao heard this and quickly explained:

"Your Majesty told me earlier that slaves naturally dare not be negligent... Now the information archives of Dongchang have been fully opened to Master Daoyan. The Dongchang fans of Shenglong Mansion have also been instructed to do their best to protect and cooperate with Master Daoyan!"

Xiao Cheng heard the words, smiled slightly, and said:
"If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about!"

With Yao Guangxiao here, why worry about the unfinished state of the Li Dynasty?

Feng Bao nodded clearly when he heard this.
-
In the Li Dynasty, in the Thang Long Mansion.

At this time, Shenglong Mansion had received the news that the East Route Navy that was going to conquer Yunguo was completely annihilated, and that Li Weining was lost in the chaos, so the atmosphere in the whole city was extremely oppressive and dignified.

In the defeat of Yongzhou at the beginning, the Li Dynasty lost nearly [-]% of its elite soldiers and cut off the fertile land of the four northern states, greatly hurting its vitality.

In the defeat of Xiushan County, all the remaining elites were lost at once, and half of the [-] troops assembled improvised were also casualties.The most important thing is that most of the Li Dynasty's army's energy and spirit were scattered. Since then, they have been afraid of the cloud like a tiger, and the soldiers have even reached the point where they trembled when they saw the cloud country's flag.

And this time's defeat at Nanpanjiang made Li Dynasty even more proud all along, and the entire army of the East Route Navy was wiped out.Even his own king, Li Weining, fell into a situation where he didn't know his life or death.

If there was news of the defeat before, the Li court and the people would have scolded harshly, and the people would be full of grief and indignation.

But the news of this defeat came back, and the Li Dynasty scholars who used to gather in taverns and teahouses to talk loudly, scolding courtiers for corruption and generals for incompetence have disappeared.On the street, passers-by were in a hurry, all of them looked nervous and panicked.

The entire capital of the Li Dynasty has fallen into a panic and dead silence at this time, as if it is the end of the dynasty and the scene of it will be overthrown.

The luxurious frame, surrounded by tall knights, slowly passed the street.

Aohou Lihu slightly opened the car window, looking at the dead silent street, his face was extremely heavy.

In the current situation, not to mention the common people, even the officials in the court have begun to have strange thoughts.According to the news from the Dianzhu school official, in less than half a month, there are already more than a dozen court ministers who secretly sent people to contact Yunguo.

Thinking of this, Li Hu closed the car window a little irritably, and sighed heavily.

With the situation of the country like this, how can we not make people worry?Is it true that the 600-year-old foundation of Da'an Shangguo is going to decline in the hands of his generation?

But at this time, Li Hu who was in the carriage vaguely heard a sudden commotion from outside.

Normally, Shenglong Mansion, as the capital of the Li Dynasty and the most benevolent place, is naturally extremely lively.But now the sudden uproar sounded a little strange.

Li Hu opened the window again, and vaguely saw a group of people gathered together, discussing something loudly.

In today's season and situation, any abnormal behavior in Shenglong Mansion requires [-] points of caution.

Li Hu said immediately:
"Go and see, what happened!"

Hearing the words, the confidant knight by the frame immediately responded and rode away.

After a short while, the knight rode back with a hint of excitement, went straight to the frame, lowered his voice, and said:

"Master Hou, it was a fisherman who was selling fish in the city, and someone just happened to get a piece of cloth written in seal characters from the belly of the fish."

When Li Hu heard this, his heart tightened and he said immediately:
"Hurry up and send people to temporarily imprison those people! In the current situation, if some demagogic prophecy is spread by the Dongchang fans of Yunguo, and it spreads, it will be terrible!"

In the current situation, such a method worth talking about suddenly appeared again, and it was easy for Li Hu to think of the Dongchang Fanzi hidden in the Li Dynasty.

And there are so many prophecy speeches throughout the ages!Ordinary people are ignorant and are most likely to be fooled by this kind of thing.

In today's Li Dynasty, there must be no further disturbances!

But at this time, the knight on the side heard the words, but his face was slightly strange, and hesitantly said:

"Master Hou, in the belly of the fish, there is indeed a good prophecy. But, this, has something to do with Master Hou..."

Speaking of this, the trusted knight immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Master Hou, just like the... God-given thing that appeared in the mansion before, it belongs to you, Lord Hou!"

When Li Hu heard this, his pupils shrank immediately, and he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice:

"what exactly is it?"

The confidant knight's heart suddenly flickered, and he said quickly:
"On the cloth and silk, write 'Aohou Wang' in ancient seal characters."

As soon as the words fell, Li Hu's breath suddenly became rough.

Golden Sword and Jade Seal, Dragon Qi Appearance, Wild Foxes...

Many strange things of these days resurfaced in Li Hu's mind again.

Destiny to return?
This thought, when Li Hu was hot in his heart, he never had it.

But in fact, as long as you calm down and investigate carefully afterwards, you can clearly find that someone among them is deliberately guiding and constantly spreading traces of expanding rumors.

This is obviously the method of Yun Guodong Factory.

The reason, of course, is to renew the turmoil in the Li Dynasty!

But even if he understands this truth, Li Hu knows that the thoughts in his heart that cannot be shared with outsiders from time to time have already shown the deepest desire in his heart!
Li Weining has five sons and heirs. Before the royal conquest, he appointed his eldest son who had just turned nine years old as the crown prince to supervise the government.

But now Li Weining is lost among the chaos army, life or death is unknown.The situation of the country is so difficult, how can we put the burden of a country on a child?

The expression on Li Hu's face kept changing, and after a while, he finally took a deep breath, closed the car window, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's go back!"

The trusted knight heard the words, but quickly lowered his voice and asked:
"Master Hou, are the people gathered over there going to take them away and put them under custody?"

In the carriage, only Li Hu's muffled voice was heard:
"It's just ordinary people, what's the trouble?"

The confidant immediately understood, his eyes burst into excitement, and he said excitedly:

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

Li Hu's frame moved slowly.

In the distance, Monk Daoyan, who was wearing a black monk robe and had a sinister face, that is, Yao Guangxiao, watched Li Hu's carriage leave coldly, and said to himself:
"It's almost done with this arrangement!"

Having said that, Dao Yan turned around, looked at Dongchang Fanzi behind him, and said:
"Dongchang is in the Li Dynasty Hall, how many officials with clean identities can be mastered?"

Hearing this, Dongchang fans hurriedly said:

"Guanglu, Kuangyou, and Cao Shilang, Qi Hongwen, the regular servant, can be used!"

Suddenly the corner of Dao Yan's mouth curved, revealing a somewhat gloomy smile, nodded and said:
"Guang Luxun? It's just right! Li Chao's current Guang Luxun is the uncle of Li Chao's young prince... Tell the people in the market all the rumors about Li Hu!"

"Yes!"
