Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 340
Xia Kingdom Jinling City, Jinwang Mansion.

Dao Yan walked slowly to the vertical door in front of the study, stopped, put his palms together, made a Buddhist salute to the guard, and said:

"His Royal Highness King Jin summoned me, and please report it on my behalf!"

Dao Yan's current status is the staff of the guest ministers in the Prince Jin's mansion, so the guards naturally did not dare to be negligent, and after a slight salute, they quickly walked into it to report.

Standing in front of the vertical door, Dao Yan didn't even need to listen, he could hear the faint sound of talking and laughing in the study.

Not long after, several people in the study retreated respectfully.

Dao Yan looked through the vertical door, just in time to see the faces of these people, narrowed his eyes, and immediately paid attention.

At this time, although these people were all wearing casual clothes, they were not ordinary people from the look of their attire.The most important thing is that Dao Yan has stayed in Jinwangfu for several months, but he has never seen these people come to Jinwangfu!
Those people walked out of the study and passed by Dao Yan.

Perhaps it was because there were not many monks in Xia Kingdom, so these people couldn't help but look at Dao Yan a little more, as if they wanted to keep his appearance in their hearts.

"Master, Your Highness calls you in to discuss matters!" The guard walked to the vertical door and cupped his hands at Dao Yan.

Dao Yan nodded slightly, stopped looking at these people, and walked straight into the study.

At this moment, King Jin in the study still had a smile on his face.Looking between his brows, he showed a look of high spirits, and he didn't see the decadence he showed a few months ago.

Seeing Dao Yan walk into the study, he coughed lightly, took a sip of the tea, and took this opportunity to adjust his emotions.

Dao Yan noticed King Jin's expression, his eyes moved, and he saluted immediately, saying bluntly:

"His Royal Highness has a rather smug face. It seems that the few people His Highness has just summoned, who have never been seen in the house before, must have brought some news that satisfies His Highness!"

King Jin paused the hand holding the teacup, looked up at Dao Yan, frowning slightly.After a while of silence, he just opened his mouth and said:

"The master seems to like to speculate on people's hearts!"

Speaking of this, King Jin's eyes suddenly sank, he looked closely at Dao Yan, his tone was slightly cold, and said:

"It's just guessing the mind of the superior at will. If you are not careful, you may be killed. The history is a lesson!"

Hearing this, Dao Yan frowned, looked calm and calm, and even chuckled a few times, saying:
"For my Emperor Dayun, the poor monk naturally dare not do this. But didn't your highness also say before that we are just a cooperative relationship? If the poor monk has something to ask directly, doesn't your highness feel bad?"

Hearing this, King Jin froze slightly.

After all, similar words, he just said to Dao Yan a few days ago...

King Jin looked at Dao Yan for a while, but he didn't know what to think, and suddenly changed the subject, saying:
"Master, are you willing to serve this king sincerely?"

"Although the Kingdom of Yun is good, it is still not as powerful as my Great Xia! If Master can switch to my Great Xia, a high-ranking Marquis, Father will definitely reward you!"

At this time, what King Jin said was completely sincere.

Let's not talk about Yan now, who holds the East Factory of Yunguo in his hands, and a group of people who have been placed in Jinling City at the sticky pole. After they are effective, they can help King Jin clean Jinling City.

Just talking about his ability to guess people's hearts and make plans makes King Jin very excited!

Such a person, if he can recruit his subordinates, why not worry about the big thing?

Dao Yan heard the words, but he couldn't help laughing, and asked:
"If the poor monk nods in agreement now, will His Highness really dare to use the poor monk?"

King Jin frowned, and thought for a while in silence, but he also found it inexplicably funny, shaking his head and saying:
"I dare not..."

Ask yourself, if Dao Yan switches to his sect at this time, his first reaction may be to doubt in his heart, what kind of game is Yunguo planning?

Dao Yan looked indifferent, and continued to speak:

"And with His Highness's current status, if you want to recruit the poor monk, you still can't get the poor monk to agree!"

What is inside and outside the words is that he dislikes that King Jin has not yet won the battle for the heir apparent, and he is not qualified to recruit himself for the time being.

These words are quite offensive.

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, King Jin didn't have much reaction, just nodded and continued:

"Let's talk about this in the future! Today, the king called you here because of a big event."

"Among the Embroidery Envoys, the old nineteenth sister has some staff... Ah, yes, she is the fourteenth princess Yu Yingyao who went to your Yun Kingdom to get married before. At the beginning, she should have used a stand-in strategy to escape , secretly returned to Jinling City, and unexpectedly used some means to infiltrate the Embroidered Clothes Envoy."

Having said that, King Jin took a look at Dao Yan.

Seeing that his expression did not reveal too much surprise, he raised his eyebrows and said:
"You seem to know already?"

Dao Yan moved his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said:

"Just found out not long ago!"

King Jin narrowed his eyes, feeling fearful in his heart, and said in a low voice:

"If she hadn't sent someone to pass the word on, this king wouldn't have known about it. But you, Master, actually knew that the sticky pole place and Dongchang in Yunguo really lived up to their reputation. It's really amazing!"

"For Your Highness, this is a good thing!" Dao Yan said indifferently.

Now that King Qi is powerful, King Jin also knows that he is just selected by the old man to check and balance the existence of King Qi, and there is not much hope for the reserve position.The stronger Dongchang and Sticky Rod are in Xia Kingdom, the more beneficial it is for King Jin!

As for the purge of the Yun country spies, that should be something that needs to be done after he succeeds in seizing the heir!

King Jin took a deep breath, barely suppressed the fear in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"I just want to ask, is there any way to prevent the embroidered envoy from spying on the affairs of the palace!"

Dao Yan nodded, bowed his head and replied:
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this matter is not difficult!"

In the words, there was no hesitation, and it seemed that Xia Guoxiuyi was not in his eyes.

No matter how boldly King Ren Jin guessed, he couldn't have guessed that Zhong Zizhuo, the third-rank embroidered envoy who is now in charge of the Jingji embroidered envoy, had entered the sticky pole of Yunguo early on.

With the power of Zhong Zizhuo, the sticky pole has even begun to secretly penetrate into the interior of the embroidery envoy.Therefore, King Jin's request is not too difficult for Dao Yan!

King Jin immediately clapped his hands when he heard the words, and said:
"Okay! If that's the case, I'll leave it to the master to block the Embroidered Clothes Envoy's surveillance from now on!"

Dao Yan naturally accepted the order happily.

And at this moment, outside the study, suddenly came the voice of King Jin's confidant eager to report:
"Your Highness, this subordinate has something urgent to report!"

"Come in!" King Jin frowned and shouted immediately.

A confidant hurriedly opened the study door, walked quickly to King Jin, and took another look at Dao Yan.

King Jin took a deep look at Dao Yan who was sizing him up, but didn't speak.

Dao Yan frowned, he could only put his palms together tactfully, made a Buddha ceremony, and said:
"Since His Highness has urgent matters to deal with, the poor monk will take his leave first!"

King Jin nodded immediately when he heard the words, and said loudly:
"Come here, send one to the master for this king!"

Dao Yan could only turn around and walk out of the study, but he had just stepped through the vertical door when he heard an uncontrollable exclamation from the study behind him.

Dao Yan's ears moved, all kinds of thoughts were hidden in his heart, and he walked out of the palace slowly under the escort of the palace guards.

At this time, outside the palace, a carriage that looked very simple was parked there.

Seeing Dao Yan walk out of the palace, a young monk with bushy eyebrows and big eyes, upturned nostrils, protruding ears, thick lips, and an ugly appearance jumped out of the carriage, and hurried up to greet him.

The moment he received Dao Yan, the young monk couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, clasped his hands together, and said in his mouth:
"Amitabha, Master, you have finally come out. Next time, let Xu Zhu go in with you."

Dao Yan is now in charge of all the guards and Dongchang fans in Xia Guozhong.And in Jinling City of Xia Kingdom, although not many people know his identity, there are always one or two, so safety must be taken into consideration.

Beside him, apart from sticking sticks and Dongchang masters secretly guarding him, Xiao Cheng even sent Xu Zhu, a rank nine master, as his personal guard.

And the simple and honest temperament like Xu Zhu is the most liked by people like Dao Yan who have a sinister nature.

Seeing Xu Zhu's worried appearance, Dao Yan smiled slightly, and said softly:
"It's okay, I'm not a monk with no power to restrain a chicken. Even if something happens, I can always make something happen!"

Don't think that Daoyan uses his brain, but he is proficient in the classics of the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and he also dabbles in the three schools of martial arts. He is also a seventh-level martial artist in terms of martial arts, and he can be called a master in the world.

Xu Zhu is stupid, and he has always been extremely respectful to Dao Yan, he immediately hesitated and didn't know how to persuade him.

"Go back!" Dao Yan said with a light smile.

Xu Zhu heard the words, he couldn't say anything more, he quickly helped Dao Yan into the carriage.

After a while, the carriage drove away from Prince Jin's Mansion.

Following Dao Yan's safe departure, two groups of spying people quietly left in front of the palace gate.

Dao Yan sat cross-legged on the carriage, but in his mind he kept recalling what he had just seen and heard in Jin Wang's mansion.

Jin Wang's city mansion is not shallow, and he was not happy in the past.But today, after he met those people, there was an unconcealable complacency in his expression.

Moreover, Dao Yan deliberately provoked each other with words before, bluntly saying that he is just a prince now and has no qualifications to recruit him, but King Jin was not moved.

You might as well speculate boldly, those few people who have never met before, and only came to the palace today to meet King Jin, must be extremely helpful to King Jin in the matter of seizing the heir!

And when he left, what kind of news did his confidantes send that could make King Jin lose his composure so much?
Dao Yan keenly felt that these two things had a lot to do with the plan His Majesty gave him!So this matter must be investigated as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Dao Yan no longer hesitated in his heart, and said in a deep voice:
"Let Ju Meng, envoy of Yiwei of the Shangyu Backup Department, and Guo Yuanzhong, the second chief of the Dongji Incident Factory, come to see me!"

Ju Meng was ordered by Xiao Cheng to be in charge of the guards at the sticky poles in Xia Kingdom, and to obey Dao Yan's orders.

And this Guo Yuanzhong was the one who provoked Li Weining and the former Taiwei Chen Feng in the Li Dynasty's Shenglong Mansion, which eventually led to the death of Chen Feng, the escape of his only son Chen Liyan, the separation of the old army, and the disintegration of the hearts and souls of the army of the Li Dynasty. stall head.

Today's Guo Yuanzhong is in charge of the Dongchang fanzi in Xiaguo as the second-rank leader of the Dongchang.

At this time, Dao Yan summoned the two to come, obviously to activate Sticky Rod and Dongchang, and try their best to find out what happened in Jinling City today.

Only after knowing the details, Dao Yan can adjust the subsequent layout to ensure that the things Xiao Cheng explained can be completed!

In the carriage, Xu Zhu heard Dao Yan speak, scratched his head subconsciously, looked at Dao Yan blankly, wondering if he was talking to himself.

But when Xu Zhu was hesitating and wondering whether he should speak back, he heard the carriage driver outside the carriage suddenly responding:
"Yes!"
-
In Jinling City, somewhere in a small courtyard.

An embroidered envoy walked quickly into the courtyard, knelt down on one knee in front of Yu Yingyao who was handling official documents in the courtyard, presented the secret report with both hands, and said urgently:
"Miss, urgent report from the palace!"

Yu Yingyao frowned, took the secret letter casually, glanced at it, and immediately showed shock,

At this time, on the secret letter in Yu Yingyao's hand, there was only a short line of words: Your Majesty is seriously ill, and there will be no cure in a few months.

Yu Yingyao stood up suddenly, looked at the embroiderer who came to report, and said in a trembling voice:
"Quickly block the news in the palace, and never let outsiders know!"

When the embroidered clothes messenger heard the words, his face was a little ugly, and he said with difficulty:
"The eyeliner reports that all the civil and military officials, nobles of the clan, and princes and princes in the court heard the news almost at the same time, and there is... There is no way to block it at all!"

When Yu Yingyao heard this, her face became even more ugly, she gritted her teeth and said:
"The news spread so quickly, it must have been leaked by someone in the palace, or even someone close to His Majesty...Damn it!"

Now the status of the prince and crown prince of the emperor's brother has not yet been announced to the world.If someone took the lead in controlling the imperial confinement when Emperor Xia was critically ill, and then won the support of most of the important officials, wouldn't it be up to them to compile the will?
And how could King Qi's influence over the important officials in the court compare to the rest of the princes and princes!

There is no voice of opposition in the court. When the edict says who is the crown prince, will the people of the world still fight for King Qi?
Thinking of this, Yu Yingyao only felt a bone-chilling chill in her heart, and said anxiously:
"Send the order, the Embroidery Envoy will immediately take over the defense of the palace gate!"

In the end, Emperor Xia was only critically ill, and he is not dead yet, so there is no need to go to war for the time being.Just prevent someone from taking the opportunity to take over the palace ban and control the Emperor Xia and the emperor's seal, that's all!
King Qi has been in the army for a long time, and he has many cronies in the old army.If that time really comes, there will be many trustworthy generals who can be appointed.As long as he obtained the imperial decree issued by the Six Seals of the Emperor, it would not be difficult to take over the internal and external defense of the capital.

Speaking of this, Yu Yingyao paused, and said:

"Quickly send someone to report to Jiangcheng Mansion, please return to Beijing quickly, Your Highness!"

This is the most important thing!

Only when King Qi returns to Jinling City as soon as possible and formally obtains the crown prince position to announce to the world, will he be able to suppress the many forces that are about to move in the court!

When the embroidered clothes envoy heard the words, he immediately responded and left quickly.

Yu Yingyao stood where she was, Xu Shi was really frightened just now, she just felt a little groggy at this moment.

Suppressing the discomfort, she looked at the secret letter in her hand again, with a dignified expression and deep eyes.

All this was too sudden.

Whether it was Emperor Xia's sudden serious illness, or the news spread so quickly, it seemed that things happened too suddenly.She didn't even believe that no one was messing with Fengyun behind her back!

But who is the person behind this?What is the purpose?

Is it the forces of Yunguo who are disrupting Chao Gang?Or is King Jin planning behind the scenes, wanting to win in a dangerous situation?Or, is it that the other princes are not reconciled to the failure to seize the heirloom, so they fight hard?
Thinking of this, Yu Yingyao felt her head hurting even more.

This kind of development beyond control has already given her a bad feeling...

　Well, tomorrow should be...
