Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 344 Start

Cloud country, in the palace.

Although it was late at night, there were still lights on in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xiao Cheng looked at the report in his hand, frowned tightly, and keenly sensed something was wrong.

In the huge Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Bao and Guo Xie stood bowed in the hall, lined up on both sides.Behind the two of them, a group of Dongchang soldiers and senior guards at the sticky pole bent down and knelt down on the ground, silent and solemn.

Looking at the secret report in his hand, Xiao Cheng always felt that the development of the matter was a bit strange, but he read the secret report in his hand several times, but he couldn't find the source of that strange feeling no matter what.

Xiao Cheng frowned tightly, and suddenly said:

"Give me all the detailed information about Xia Kingdom's Jinling City, whether it's from the sticky pole or from the East Factory!"

As soon as the voice fell, someone was ordered to leave quickly to obtain relevant information.

Seeing Xiao Cheng like this, Guo Xie couldn't help feeling a sudden in his heart, and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty, but what did the people below do not do well?"

Now in Jinling City of Xia Kingdom, Shangyu's backup office has stronger power and deeper tentacles.Therefore, almost all actions in Jinling City are dominated by sticky poles, supplemented by Dongchang.

If something went wrong, the sticky stick would naturally be more responsible, so it's no wonder Guo Xie was so nervous at this time.

Xiao Cheng frowned, shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"too fast!"

For Xiao Cheng, the development of the situation in Jinling City in Xia Kingdom was really too smooth.

This is certainly a good thing, but it always makes Xiao Cheng feel that something is wrong!
On King Jin's side, with the help of Dao Yan, he had just regained momentum and accumulated a little strength, and Emperor Xia became seriously ill and couldn't manage the council.The biggest competitor, King Qi, is still far away from the capital at this time.

Such a heaven-sent opportunity, if you miss it, you will really be powerless afterwards.

So even though King Jin's current power, foundation, and influence are not stable enough, but when faced with the throne that seems to be within reach, he will definitely choose to take a risky move and fight hard!

Those who are in the middle of the game, of course, don't think there is anything wrong, they just feel that the destiny is in King Jin.But Xiao Chengyuan was in Tiannan, outside of it, but instinctively figured out something was wrong.

It feels like someone is behind the scenes, constantly paving the way for King Jin, allowing him to reach this step very smoothly.

Compared to Guo Xie, Feng Bao was more vigilant and sharp.And he has been serving Xiao Cheng personally, so even though Xiao Cheng didn't speak clearly, he understood Xiao Cheng's deep meaning all at once.

"Your Majesty thinks that the situation in Xia Kingdom is developing a little abnormally?" Feng Bao asked aloud.

Xiao Cheng nodded, and looked down at the secret report from Jinling City in his hand again.

After another half a cup of tea, the guards and fans who went to get the detailed information filed into the hall with the high-level information, and knelt down respectfully on one knee.

Jinling City is the imperial city of the capital of the Xia Kingdom. Civil and military courtiers, princes and princes, people from hundreds of families, and even martial arts masters, rangers, and market forces inside and outside Jinling City are all existences worthy of attention.

In addition, Zhong Zizhuo is now in charge of Xiaguo Gyeonggi Embroidery Envoy, and the sticky pole and Dongchang can even obtain the desired information directly from the Embroidery Envoy, so the information collected by both sides is extremely detailed and varied.

Dozens of stacks of information, as tall as half a person, are classified into categories and sorted out in detail.At this time, they were all moved here and placed quietly in the hall.

Xiao Cheng looked at the huge amount of information in front of him, his face revealed a thoughtful expression, he tapped the case with his knuckles lightly, and immediately said in a deep voice:
"A list of important military positions inside and outside Jinling City in Xia Kingdom!"

Regardless of the previous layout and arrangements, and regardless of how to deal with the aftermath, it only means that when the coup d'etat forces the palace, the power of the court that played a role in the past will be weakened to the weakest.Only sufficiently reliable soldiers and horses can truly control the situation.

As soon as Xiao Cheng opened his mouth, the people on both sides of the sticky pole and the East Factory moved immediately, quickly dug out relevant information from it, and handed it to his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng just glanced at it casually, and then said again:

"Check out these people's job changes in the past three months!"

When the information was sent up again, Xiao Cheng just glanced at it and narrowed his eyes.

The important military positions inside and outside Jinling City in the Xia Kingdom, those above a thousand stones, have not changed much.However, the middle-level generals below Qianshi, who are directly in charge of the soldiers and horses of various places, have been frequently transferred since a month ago, which is very unusual.

Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Mark the cronies of King Xia Qi and King Jin!"

After a while, a list was handed to Xiao Cheng again.

On the list, the names were circled in black and red by the subordinates to distinguish between King Qi and King Jin.

There are very few red names representing King Qi's cronies, but the black ink marks representing King Jin's subordinates have circled the names of almost half of the middle-level generals.

Xiao Cheng's heart sank when he looked at this list, and at the list of military transfers in the past month.

All the people under Jin Wang's command were transferred to these important official positions in the past month!
You know, a month ago, Jin Wang had just been released from the mansion not long ago.The foundation he laid during the years of seizing the throne has been completely destroyed. Where did he get the ability to mobilize so many people?
With serious eyes, Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:

"When did these people join King Jin's command?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Xie hurriedly said:

"On the day when the news of Emperor Xia's critical illness came out, Master Daoyan met with these people in Prince Jin's residence. Afterwards, he sent people to investigate, only to find out that these people had secretly taken refuge in King Jin."

really……

The King of Jin did not favor these people before, nor did they have too deep communication with each other!

How could it be possible that these people had just been transferred to such an important military position, and a group of people on the back foot joined King Jin's command without hesitation as if they had discussed it?
This is definitely, a game...

At that time, there was only one person in the entire Xia Kingdom who could make such an arrangement.

He has been in charge of Great Xia, the most powerful country in the world, for decades. Even though the dynasties are raging, and the prince's fight for succession is intensifying, he still firmly holds the power, the Emperor Xia who sits on the Dragon Throne of Xia Kingdom!

The so-called critical illness of the Emperor Xia could not be just pretending deliberately, in order to target the princes of the Xia Kingdom who are about to move, the courtiers who are too involved in the imperial court, and the Yun Kingdom's infiltration of forces in a big game!

When Xiao Cheng thought of this, he suddenly panicked, stood up subconsciously, and said sharply:

"Send people to Jinling City to pass the decree quickly, and mobilize all the hands and strength in the Xia Kingdom. No matter how much it costs, I must send Yao Guangxiao out safely!"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, feeling Xiao Cheng's eagerness never before, everyone's heart shuddered, their eyes sharpened, and they immediately bowed down and shouted in unison:

"Follow Your Majesty's orders!"

Xiao Cheng stood on the steps of his majesty, feeling extremely heavy.

Jinling City was too far away from Tiannan Zhongqing City. Even if they reacted immediately and dispatched military masters who were good at running around to fight day and night, it would take five or six days for the order to reach Jinling City.

Now the situation in Jinling City is changing rapidly, maybe at that time...

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng's whole body was dignified and frightening, and between his brows, there was a hint of chill.

"In addition, order the frontline departments to rectify the troops and prepare for battle!"

"Yes."
-
Xia Guo, Jinling City.

Ever since Emperor Xia became seriously ill, the atmosphere in Jinling City has become extremely solemn.

Ordinary people may not have noticed anything at this time.But Xia Guochao's ministers of Chinese and military affairs, clan nobles, even if they were dull, they had already noticed something at this time.

Above the court of the Xia Kingdom, whether it was the mutiny in the southwest, the rampant plague, or the turmoil in the country.It was the time when Yunguo was at war, losing four counties in a row, the situation was collapsing, and the struggle between the hundred schools of thought that had never subsided, unexpectedly became extremely quiet during this period of time.

Almost everyone knows that during this period of time in Jinling City, there must be major events related to the community!

But tonight, the waning moon is like a hook, and the moonlight is gloomy, making the night even darker.

Looking from the outside, in Jinwang Mansion, all the lights and candles were extinguished, and the mansion was quiet and silent.

But only after actually entering the Prince Jin's Mansion, can one know what kind of murderous intent is concealed in the Palace at this time.

In various courtyards, hundreds of private soldiers secretly cultivated by King Jin's confidantes gathered here quietly at this time, each holding a sharp knife, standing still in line.

All the confidantes of the King of Jin gathered in the study at this moment, waiting quietly with a burning light in their eyes.

The door of the study was pushed gently, and King Jin walked out slowly.

He was in the Southwest Army back then, and he didn't even wear armor, but today he has put on a heavy armor.

The confidant at the side immediately took a step forward and respectfully presented the golden helmet and saber with both hands.

The King of Jin looked around at the people present, looked at the burning eyes of their eyes, took a deep breath, put on the golden helmet, took the long sword and put it on his waist, and said with firm eyes:
"Occupy the arsenal first, then attack the Yinhan Gate, and take the Jinshen Hall directly. In the palace, there are guards such as Wuwei, Huben, Chang Cong, Shesheng, and Tuenqi. An edict to quell the turmoil in the city!"

As long as you make a sudden move, you can capture the arsenal of Jinling City and get armor and crossbows.These hundreds of private soldiers who were not seen by others at all, are enough to become a surprise soldier who can control the situation of Jinling City!
With the "loyalty" of the middle-level generals of the imperial guards, King Jin is confident that he can quickly take over the entire palace and most of the troops inside and outside the capital, stabilize the chaotic court situation, and let everything settle down!
Speaking of this, King Jin's eyes flashed coldly, he pulled out the long sword around his waist, and said coldly:

"set off!"

A group of private soldiers, silently, bowed down to salute, got up and left.

The gate of Prince Jin's Mansion opened with a bang at this time, and the murderous private soldiers and guards of the Palace, under the leadership of their confidantes, headed straight for the Jinling Arsenal.

At this time, beside King Jin, Dao Yan bowed slightly and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the arsenal guards have my guards to help clean up the sticky poles. I will also deal with the embroidery envoy!"

Upon hearing this, King Jin looked at Dao Yan and said with a gloomy face:

"Where's Yu Yingyao?"

For Yu Yingyao, who was able to get rid of the restrictions of her status, came back from Yun Kingdom, and at the same time quietly mastered the Embroidery Envoy, King Jin was full of jealousy.

Dao Yan raised his head slightly, with a cold killing intent in his triangular eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Your Majesty has an order. After tonight, there will only be my imperial concubine, Empress Rouning, and the Fourteenth Princess of your country in the world!"

"That's good!" King Jin nodded indifferently.

He has a deep relationship with King Qi, but he is almost a generation younger than Yu Yingyao, and they don't have much contact with each other, so how could they have such a deep relationship?At this time, he wanted to save King Qi's life because he was already concerned about the brotherhood, and it was impossible to show mercy to Yu Yingyao.

Having said that, Dao Yan bowed slightly and said:
"In order to be safe, the poor monk has to go there himself!"

Having said that, Dao Yan bowed and was about to leave.

And at this moment, King Jin suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Master's safety is very important, let's continue to follow this king!"

As soon as the words fell, several guards beside King Jin stepped forward and stopped Dao Yan calmly.

Both parties knew that the close cooperation had come to an end tonight.

If King Jin fails, then naturally there is nothing to say.But if it succeeds, the status of King Jin, who is about to become the new Emperor Xia, will change, and it will be absolutely impossible for him to infiltrate the court wantonly through Yunguo's sticky place and Dongchang!
At this time, King Jin, even before the dust settled, he directly showed the posture of killing the donkey!

It is said that he is worried about Dao Yan's safety, but in fact it is nothing more than planning to keep Dao Yan by his side in case he disappears afterwards.

Dao Yan looked at the people who blocked him, frowned suddenly, and then silently looked at the guards in front of him.

The master guards that King Jin has recruited for many years should not be underestimated.A ninth-level master, with five eighth-level masters, stood in front of Dao Yan.

Well, if I can't beat myself, I have to make a move from Xu Zhu...

Dao Yan didn't make any unnecessary movements, and immediately put his hands together and saluted eleven, and said in a deep voice:
"Since His Highness invites you kindly, the poor monk will be disrespectful!"

When King Jin heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled for the first time tonight.

During this time, he has been scheming for Dao Yan.Tonight, I was able to count Daoyan in reverse, and I couldn't help but feel very proud now, and said again:

"If the master can be so knowledgeable in the future, and hand over the list of the secret agents of Yunguo, and serve me in Daxia, this king is willing to serve you as a high-ranking official and marquis, how about it?"

For a talent like Dao Yan, he was really greedy, so he couldn't help but open his mouth to recruit again.

Dao Yan lowered his head slightly, his eyebrows drooped, and the lower half of his face was already hidden in the darkness.

"Wait until tomorrow, Your Highness might as well start recruiting again!"

The tone was deep and seemed to have deep meaning, which made King Jin feel a little unhappy for no reason.

He frowned involuntarily, looked at Dao Yan with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"In this case, the master might as well give me another answer tomorrow in Jinshen Hall!"
