Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 40 The reason for the failure of the assassination

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Feng Baodi took out something from his bosom, and handed it to Xiao Cheng respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is from someone outside the palace."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng took it casually, looked it up, couldn't help laughing and said:
"Guo Xie really has some influence now. When Chaozhi Li Neishi's youngest son gets married, he can really get invitations."

Zhi Li Neishi, whose name doesn't sound like a high-ranking official.But there was another name for this post before, Da Sinong.

Feng Bao nodded, and couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, are you planning to leave the palace again?"

"Well, go and have a look." Xiao Cheng nodded.

But seeing Feng Bao's face was extremely troubled, Xiao Cheng spoke again to comfort him:

"Don't worry, I'm ready this time."

After speaking, Xiao Cheng took out a wooden box behind himself and handed it to Feng Bao.

Feng Bao took it, opened it, and saw a disguise mask in the box.

"The disguise mask that I ordered Guo Jie to make is now in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and it is all loyal staff from Shangyu's backup department. If I send someone to disguise myself, no one will doubt it." Xiao Chengdao.

Although Xiao Cheng is the emperor, his power has fallen to the side, to the point where Wang Xiao is not in the capital, and he is not needed to go to court.

In addition, outsiders thought that his brain was burnt out, and no one cared.Arranging someone to pretend, even if Xiao Cheng leaves for ten days and half a month, no one will notice anything unusual.

Seeing this, Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help asking:

"But Your Majesty, but this is not an important matter. Zhi Li Neishi's youngest son is getting married. The servants, the situation is not what it used to be. If your majesty has any errands to do, you might as well tell the servants."

Zhi Li Nei Shi, Da Si Nong, the official position in charge of the state's financial power among the nine ministers.It sounds great, but that's already a thing of the past!

In order to monopolize the state affairs, Wang Xiao naturally wanted to use cronies to fill important positions.

However, in order to prevent being accused of nepotism and blocking the mouths of the people in the world, he still has to put on a show and keep a few veteran officials who are still knowledgeable about current affairs in the court.

For this reason, Wang Xiao wasted a lot of effort.

Looking through the ancient books, the post of Grand Master was set above the Sangong, but there was no appointment of Taiwei and Sikong.The Grand Master's Mansion was also opened to deal with the affairs of the court and China, so as to fight Situ.

In addition, he also re-appointed the post of Jiuqing.

Such an important post as Da Sinong was renamed Zhili Neishi, and posts such as Taicang Shangshu, Duzhi Shangshu, and Hubu Shangshu were set up, successfully evacuating the most powerful Da Sinong among the Jiuqing.

Today's internal history of Zhili is no longer what it used to be. Even though he still has some prestige among the group of officials, but the effort and effort of recruiting them is not very effective. There is really no need for Xiao Cheng to go there in person.

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng shook his head and said:
"It's not aimed at him... well, you don't need to ask more."

Feng Bao opened his mouth, and immediately bowed to answer.

Putting on the eunuch's attire, Xiao Cheng ran to Xiyi Palace with ease.

When meeting Nan Rongshu's subordinates who were on duty, Xiao Cheng greeted them very familiarly.

The number of times of borrowing the secret way has increased, and the people in Xiyi Palace don't treat Xiao Cheng like an enemy like before.

It's just that they couldn't help rolling their eyes every time they saw Xiao Cheng's appearance of not treating himself as an outsider.

When Xiao Cheng came to the entrance of the secret passage, he saw that the secret passage had already been opened.

Nan Rongshu and the court lady Ling'er walked out of the secret passage together.It's just that the expressions of the two looked a little abnormal.

Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes, and waved his hand with a smile to Nan Rongshu who bumped into him head-on.

"Yo, is your injury healed?"

Counting it, she has been injured for half a month.With the body self-healing degree of an eighth-level master, it is almost the same.

Nan Rongshu raised her eyes to look at Xiao Cheng who had a playful smile on her face, she just nodded at him, and then moved away.

Her preoccupied appearance made Xiao Cheng a little confused.

But he also knows how to measure, the two are just cooperating temporarily, and it is better not to ask some questions that should not be asked.He didn't talk too much, and got into the secret passage without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Cheng leave, Nan Rongshu didn't try to hide it, and the expression on her face became extremely ugly.

Ling'er stepped forward, looked at Nan Rongshu, and said cautiously:
"Lord..."

Nan Rongshu raised her hand to interrupt Ling'er, motioning her to close the entrance of the secret passage.

When she returned to her bedroom, Concubine Zhang had already been waiting in the side hall for a long time.

"You go and arrange it. The staff in the palace, but those who have shown any clues or whose identities are not perfect, they will all be secretly arranged to go out of the palace."

As soon as they met, Nan Rongshu said to Concubine Zhang.

Concubine Zhang's complexion changed, and she said:
"Master, but the assassination failed?"

With a gloomy face, Nan Rongshu nodded and said:
"Yes!"

Concubine Zhang was shocked and said anxiously:

"But the clan has been preparing for so many years, connected more than ten clans in series, and even talked about motivating a master like Tu Yangweng, why did it still fail?"

Nan Rongshu shook her head and said:
"I underestimated Wang Xiao, and I also underestimated the guards around him."

On the other hand, Ling'er was indignant and said:

"The members of those tribes dare not do their best. They are afraid that the elite of the tribe will be taken advantage of by others and retreat early. The most annoying thing is Tu Yangweng. He always feels that someone is going to kill him! He is the number one master in Miaojiang. He is greedy for life and afraid of death. Die, paranoid."

Concubine Zhang didn't understand, she turned to look at Nan Rongshu.

"Wang Xiao had already seen through the trap and didn't want to be entangled. He led his cavalry to break out of the encirclement. At the critical moment, an eighth-rank swordsman shot and stopped him," Nan Rongshu said.

"But, isn't this a good thing? Clan elders, Tu Yangweng, plus this swordsman, three eighth-level masters, elites from various tribes, and Gu worms from my clan, why didn't Wang Xiao stay?" Concubine Zhang couldn't help but said.

"Tu Yangweng suspected that the clan elder had secretly prepared another master, and wanted to attack and kill Wang Xiao's guard suddenly when he was fighting with Wang Xiao's guard, so he didn't do anything in the end." Nan Rongshu said, his face became more and more ugly.

Concubine Zhang opened her mouth, and finally let out a long sigh helplessly.

Their clan has a rift with the Miaojiang Tu clan, and they have been fighting for hundreds of years.If it weren't for Wang Xiao's strength, which caused Tu's heavy losses, Tu Yangweng would never have cooperated with them.

In fact, there was another sentence that Nan Rongshu didn't say, but Concubine Zhang also guessed it.

Being an old man in the family, the reason why he didn't do anything until the end was probably because he felt that the sudden appearance of the master was from Tu Yangweng.

A sudden appearance of a master has made the two clans suspicious of each other to such an extent, and they want to cooperate, it is simply whimsical!

Concubine Zhang thought for a moment, then spoke immediately, saying:
"My lord, if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid... we have to prepare in advance!"

What to prepare, of course, needless to say.

Nan Rongshu nodded and said:
"You prepare first, if you can't do anything, then leave immediately!"

"Yes."

　In the morning, I was transferred to the workshop to check the company's machines, and I didn't have time to fish until three or four in the afternoon.
