Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 411 Welcome to the other courtyard, sword qi competes

Dejiang County, Qianyang City.

This city is located in the upper reaches of the Yuanshui River, facing the river on three sides, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is the seat of the county.From here on, the city can go northward along the river and enter Jiangzhou County. Therefore, Qianyang Mansion has always been regarded as the key point of Dejiang County.

When Wu Zixu led the army to attack Dejiang County, except for Rongzhou City, which was guarded by the southwestern frontier army of Xia Kingdom, it was only under the Qianyang Mansion that it encountered setbacks. Fallen under siege.

Afterwards, the court of Yunguo issued a decree to set up the Chief Secretary of Guizhou and Guizhou. Qianyang City.

Up to now, it has been more than a year since Qianyang Mansion was included in Yun Kingdom.

Under Xiao Yu's governance, Qianyang Mansion, which suffered from military chaos and plague at the beginning, which caused the people's livelihood to wither, has now restored some of the prosperity of Dejiang County in the past.

On the official road outside the city, Xiao Yu, the governor of Guizhou and Guangxi, and Yan Song, the servant of the household department, are leading a group of civil and military officials, waiting in line for the arrival of the emperor's chariot.

And behind the officials, tens of thousands of people from Qianyang Mansion gathered here, waiting to be picked up.

Xiao Yu glanced behind her, narrowed her eyes, rolled up her sleeves slightly, turned slightly towards Yan Song beside her, and said in a deep voice with a voice that only two people could hear:
"Yesterday, His Majesty sent the imperial guards to send notices and verbal orders, so that the local government does not need to force the people to come to pick him up... But Mr. Yan has made such a big commotion today, I'm afraid His Majesty will not be happy!"

Xiao Yu heard the words, but laughed heavily, and said loudly:
"Xiao Xiaoren, you have wronged the Shangguan! Those people were able to live a happy life again because they were grateful for His Majesty's grace. Anyone!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng cast a meaningful glance at Xiao Yu.

There are so many people gathered there, it is indeed mostly to see the current Longyan, and that is later.But a small number of them are relatives and family members of craftsmen outside Qian Yansong's official shipyard.

To be lenient, Xiao Yu is indeed weak.

Because Chai Qun is in charge of supervising the construction of the dragon boats needed for parade in Yangfu, the government-run shipyard in Qian Chaiqun is now in my charge.

Noticing Xiao Cheng's expression, and remembering that I am from a clan, although I have given up my identity because I became an official, I still know that there are many clan princes in Jingzhong, and Xiao Yu is willing to quarrel with me, so he coughed heavily and said:
"The dragon boat has already been launched into the water. The shipyard has something to do. Did it delay the craftsmen's livelihood and errands? They also gave some rice and meat as a reward. It is considered weak... It can make His Majesty happy, but our courtiers should Did it!"

Xiao Cheng laughed a few times, then turned to look at Chai Qun again.

When Chai Qun saw this, he was very concerned.Anyway, what I did was nothing, it was nothing more than an excuse for others to talk about, or it was just to please Yang Fu, because I was afraid of being accused.

While the two were talking, under the nearby official road, there was a slow sound of horseshoes.

The Yunlong flag was fluttering in the wind, and the cavalry of the imperial army in bright armor cleared the way behind, and the sound of horseshoes rang.

The Eight Yin, Seventeen Small Banners, Bailu Chariot, Luanqi Chariot, Pi'E Chariot, and Pixuan Chariot, which are in charge of important ministers in the court, are at the end and serve as guides.Banners, buildings, banners, bands and guards of the imperial guards followed to lead the team.

Before that, it was the jade cymbal on which the Yang Mansion was riding, which hurriedly came under the protection of many imperial guards, surrounded by low-level civil and military officials, generals of the imperial guard, and eunuchs in the palace.

Before Yuren, there were a large number of avant-garde forbidden troops, drum teams, square chariots, waist chariots, gold ren, elephant ren, Genggen chariots, An chariots, Qiwang chariots and other carriages.

The whole team stretched for more than ten miles, the cars were neatly driven, the battles were bright, the flags were flying, and they were very powerful, showing the majesty of the emperor!
Qian Yansong's subjects fell to their knees in unison at this moment, shouting in their mouths:
"Your Majesty (Craftsmen), welcome the holy driver! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The sound of the mountain shouting long live resounded for seven weeks.

Among the jade shells, Yang Mansion casually glanced at the few people gathered inside, frowned, and You Nai shook his head, saying:

"That Xiao Yu!"

With such a small battle and so few people, one can tell at a glance that it was organized by Chai Qun to please himself!

Rao is Chai Qun's eight orders and seven applications since then, prohibiting officials from mobilizing teachers and mobilizing the crowd in this way, and encouraging the people to welcome them later.

But at this time, just after Wanmin kowtowed in the Yangfu Yijia, the sound of the mountain's cry resounded for seven weeks, the feeling of being low and exercising power still made me inexplicably comfortable all over my body.

Throughout the ages, the reason why courtiers like Xiao Yu have a good reputation is because we only know how to flatter your lord.When we met a king who hesitated a little in his will, we immediately coaxed him into a different state of mind and body, and got carried away.

"Let's say I'm tired, let Xiao Cheng go to see me, and the rest of the officials and people who greeted me should leave." Yangfu said in a deep voice.

Since then, they have come all the way on a tour, and the Yang Mansion always wants to meet local officials and squires at this time to give a few words of encouragement.

At this time, Xiao Cheng was only asked to go directly to see him, and Xiao Yu even mentioned it, obviously beating.

Xiao Yu dared to do that, Yang Fu doubted that I must have done a thorough job, whether there is too little to criticize.But did these local officials before have the skills and means of Xiao Yu.

If the Yang Mansion showed displeasure today, these local officials would have to follow suit in order to curry favor with the Yang Mansion.When the time comes to mobilize the teachers and mobilize the crowd, disturb the place and make the people full of resentment, is it just to let the Yang Mansion go on a tour in vain?
Feng Bao, who was accompanying him at the side, heard the words of the Yang Mansion, and hurriedly bowed in response, walked out of the guard of honor slowly, and said loudly to the officials of Qianchaiqun who were welcoming him:
"Your Majesty is very pleased to receive you from all the subjects. However, your Majesty is tired from the tour, so it is time to see you! Xiao Cheng, the envoy of Qiandejiang County, is called to go. The rest of the subjects all dispersed and returned to each other. Its job!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, was suddenly stunned and stood still.

As for Chai Qun, the corner of his mouth curled up at this moment, and he immediately stood up and responded:

"Minister Xiao Cheng, take orders!"

After saluting, all the officials moved out of the way, knelt down on both sides again, and greeted Yang Fuyi to drive into the city.

When Yi drove into the city, Xiao Cheng just stood up, brushed off his official robe, looked at Xiao Yu beside him with a half-smile, and said:

"Little Yan, my Majesty summoned me, and I will go ahead!"

The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched slightly, bowed his hands with a wooden face, and hummed:
"Xiao Xiaoren, let's go, it's a delivery!"

Seeing that time when Xiao Yu lifted a rock and hit his own foot, Xiao Cheng smiled slowly in his heart, before turning around and leaving.

Xiao Yu stood where he was, his face turned pale, and he replied warmly:

"Xiao Xiaoren must be like this. If you wait for a long time, you will be able to do well and see Shangguan again!"

For that pick-up, Chai Qun spent a lot of energy and made sufficient preparations during the two or eight months when he left Beijing.

Even if I made a mistake like that while standing in the reception, I still have to worry too little, I am still confident, there is nothing I can do to make my Majesty happy!

On the surface, Xiao Cheng seemed to be moved, and the pace of leaving did not come up quickly.But at this moment, Xiao Cheng, who had his back to Xiao Yu, had a serious smile on his face just now.

There are no courtiers in the country, and they are bent on flattering and flattering.I only hope that Your Majesty can always be like this...

Qian Yansong is here temporarily.

Stepping into the Yang Mansion, you will feel that the garden is exquisitely polished, with separate terraces and pavilions, undulating corridors, unique ingenuity everywhere, and gorgeous and exquisite decorations.Walking here, one step at a time, one scene at a time, before going deep into it, one can estimate that it occupies an area of ​​more than a hundred acres.

Such a garden, in fact, can barely be called a palace!

Yangfu narrowed his eyes, looked at the official Qian Yansong who was in charge of leading the driver, and said in a deep voice:
"Chai Qunming prepared it?"

Except for Chai Qun, there is no one else in the Yang Mansion who can create such an exquisite garden in just two or eight months without any means or ability!
When Qian Yansong officials heard the words, they quickly bowed and responded:
"Your Majesty is wise, it was Chai Qunming who prepared it!"

Speaking of that, it seemed that he was worried that the garden would be too luxurious and make Yang Mansion happy, so the official Qian Yansong quickly continued to explain:
"This garden was jointly presented by eight wealthy merchants from Yansong, Guizhou. Gui Buzheng recruited craftsmen, opened up the eight houses, polished them a little, and renamed them 'Yingjia Garden', as a temporary residence for His Majesty when he was in Qianchaiqun. "

Hearing the words, Yang Fu nodded slightly, and said casually:

"Since it is a joint dedication as a deed, before I leave, let Xiao Yu remember to repair his house before returning it."

"Yes!"

After a while, no one from the palace informed that Xiao Cheng, the governor of Qiandejiang County, would meet him later.

Chai Qun, who was wearing a red official robe, was led by the palace servants, came to Yang Mansion, bowed and saluted, saying:
"Chen Xiao Cheng, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Chai Qun looked at Xiao Cheng behind his eyes, raised his hand to support him, and said with a smile:
"The time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, it took him two years to become an official in Beijing. I have seen all his achievements as an official in those years. What he did was very wrong!"

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he quickly thanked him and said:

"I just did my duty. Your majesty praises me. I am ashamed and dare to accept it!"

"Now Yan Shilang, Hechi County, and Yongzhou seven places, the support of the people and the local governance are all due to him, so why be modest... well, you will be in office for another year, and the last time the Ministry of Officials assessed, it's time to put more burden on him !” Yang Fu continued.

Now that the land of Guizhou and Guangxi is small, and the hearts of the people belong to the country of Yun, it is enough for the court to select a capable official to take up the post. It is really a waste of talents to continue to let Xiao Cheng stay there!

Hearing that, even though Xiao Cheng had a steady heart, he was overjoyed, and once again bent down to salute, thanking him and saying:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will do my best to honor your Majesty's trust!"

As an official under the local government, even if it is the party in charge, it is majestic and prestige.But for a person like Xiao Cheng who has no ambitions, being an official in the local area is more prestigious, how can it be more uncomfortable than acting in the court to act as an agent of small affairs of the state, to fully display what you have learned and aspirations?

The Yang Mansion originally wanted to ask Xiao Cheng about some local government affairs in Guizhou and Guangxi, but before I could open my mouth, I suddenly heard several startled noises coming from inside.

What followed was the low-pitched cry of the imperial guards:
"Assassins! No assassins!"

"Protect the Holy Driver!"

In an instant, the weapons were unsheathed, the armor cleats collided, and the pace was slow, all the voices of the young people resounded in the courtyard where the Yangfu was located.All the underhands from Dongchang, Sticking Pole, and the Forbidden Army were dispatched at this time, and surrounded the courtyard where the Yang Mansion was located at this time.

When Chai Qun heard the movement, he got up and wanted to get out of the courtyard.

Several generals of the imperial army around them easily protected the Yang Mansion in front of them, saying:

"Your Majesty, the situation is unclear now, please take refuge temporarily, don't come out!"

Yang Mansion said in a good mood:
"Why are they so close? If there are no assassins, I'm afraid I have to protect them...get out of the way!"

When the generals of the Forbidden Army heard the words, their words froze immediately, and they moved away helplessly.

His Majesty's martial arts are almost supernatural, and he once fought against thousands of armies.Throughout the ages, in all dynasties, there have been no such emperors.That is certainly good, but it always makes the guards around me feel discouraged, thinking that they are just eating dry food...

When Yang Fu walked out of the courtyard, he saw that it was nearby, and there were two terrifying sword auras that were almost condensed into reality, appearing in the other courtyard without any cover.

At a glance, it can be seen that it is two low swordsmen who are fighting.

One of the sword qi was full of fierceness and unruliness, full of vigor.During the wave, the vision of mountains, rivers and clouds emerged in a trance, and the sword came overwhelmed, showing a majestic momentum.

And the other sword energy is even more different.Sword intent is like a river and sea, containing everything.At first glance, the waves are shocking, but the movement of the sword is like this sparkling water wave. Although its momentum is urgent, it seems to be surging, and every wave is better than another.

Between the interlacing of the two sword lights, Qi spread out in seven places, causing Qi Zhou to explode.It was such a small movement that attracted the vigilance of the imperial guards.

Yangfu tilted his head slightly, felt the two sword qi behind him, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"The fourth-order top low hand is still proficient in swordsmanship, and has already touched the realm of land immortals... If such a low hand can stab a sword, even in the realm of land immortals, it will be difficult to be unscathed!"

Speaking of that, Yangfu looked at Feng Bao beside him, and said:

"I remember, I don't have a swordsman or a low-handed attendant by my side now!"

He did it in Yingjia Bieyuan, saying that he came here to assassinate himself, and Yang Mansion believed it at all!

However, whether the assassination made Yangfu feel satisfied, Yangfu could not solve it, but it was another low hand in swordsmanship.Just looking at the fight between the two, it should be that one person assassinated later, and the other shot to stop.

Feng Bao heard this, nodded and said:

"Where are you...and in the court and the palace, there are also sword masters who are as powerful as Wu Bong!"

Hearing the words, Yang Mansion immediately became interested.

Is there no low-handed righteous man who is willing to be loyal?

Well, it is also strange!
After all, Yangfu is in the sky and has an excellent reputation.Scholars from a hundred schools of thought, people from the martial arts world, and common people from the Li people all benefited from the hands of the Yang Mansion.Few people consciously allegiance, very different!

But at this time, perhaps it was because they alarmed the low hand of the imperial army.The two kendo masters who were wrestling with each other in Yingjia Bieyuan stopped at the same time, and then turned and left without muddling.

"Find us and bring them to me!" Yang Fu shouted in a deep voice with sharp eyes.

Chai Qun was not interested in whether it was an assassin hiding in another courtyard, or a low hand who tried to stop him.

"Observe the decree!" All the forbidden soldiers knelt down on the ground with their hands lowered, and their loud voices should be.
