Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 443 Yao Guangxiao Returns to Beijing

Zhongqing City, in the Jixia Academy.

Shi Mingzhe, who had not finished his lecture until Haishi, walked slowly towards his courtyard because he gave good advice to the scholars.

Under the moonlight, Shi Mingzhe's clothes fluttered, and he had a refined and noble temperament, which made people yearn for him.

At this time, several Confucian disciples guarding the courtyard saw Shi Mingzhe come back, and quickly bowed and said respectfully:

"Disciple, wait, I have met Si Ye!"

Shi Mingzhe stopped, nodded slightly to several disciples, and asked:
"Have the guests arrived?"

"Report to Siye, the two of you have been waiting for a while!" The disciple replied hastily.

Hearing this, Shi Mingzhe was about to step into the courtyard when he suddenly froze, narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced behind him.

In his perception, not far from the courtyard, there are several faint auras hiding in the dark, constantly peeking at this small courtyard.

Shi Mingzhe and his younger brother Shi Mingyi, although together they are called the two sages of the Shi family.However, whether it is fame in the world or Confucianism status, Shi Mingzhe has steadily surpassed Shi Mingyi.

When Shi Mingyi assassinated Xiao Cheng before, he was already a ninth-level master.His elder brother, Shi Mingzhe, is a Confucian contemporary secretary, a world-renowned sage, one of the best Confucian figures, and his cultivation is obviously going to overwhelm him!

The Confucian classics on the interaction between heaven and man have been cultivated to the most advanced state by Shi Mingzhe.It is only one step away from the Land of Immortals on Earth that people in the martial arts yearn for.

Obviously, such a master is rarely able to hide his figure in front of his eyes.

The disciples around Shi Mingzhe are all people who have served him for a long time and know Shi Mingzhe very well.

Seeing him stop at this moment, and glanced back with deep eyes, all the Confucian disciples immediately looked at each other, knowing in their hearts, and all became vigilant.

Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, someone had already approached Shi Mingzhe calmly and asked in a low voice:
"Si Ye, did you notice something unusual?"

When Shi Mingzhe heard the words, he nodded slightly, and at the same time showed a smile, and ordered:
"It's okay, don't let people come in, don't worry about the rest! If they want to see it, let them see it."

"Yes!"

After explaining a few words, Shi Mingzhe ordered the disciples around him not to follow in, then pushed open the gate of the courtyard and walked in slowly.

At this time, in the courtyard, the famous Gongsun Song and the Legalist Ji Fang, who had been waiting for a long time, had begun to show restlessness on their faces.

Seeing Shi Mingzhe walking in, Ji Fang raised his head slightly, his face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth to ask for blame:

"Now in Zhongqing City, you have made it look like the rain is about to come. The hawks and dogs at the East Factory and the sticky pole are mobilized, spies everywhere, and monitor the entire Zhongqing City. At this time, you I should keep a low profile and keep a low profile. Even if there is something I have to contact, I should do it secretly. How can you be so open and aboveboard that you let your disciples invite us to plot?"

Although Ji Fang's tone was a bit aggressive at this time, Shi Mingzhe looked like he didn't care, nodded and said:

"Master Ji is really right! At this moment, there are only a few people squatting and staring at the dark place outside the courtyard... It's just that it doesn't matter if you act generously at this time. If you hide your head and show your tail, On the contrary, it is even more suspicious!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Song suddenly stood up, pointed outside, and exclaimed:

"Now, there are people staring outside? This Yunguo East Factory and the sticky pole are really as powerful as the rumors! How long has it been since you followed the clues and found you here?"

When Shi Mingzhe heard the words, he waved his hands and said:
"The water in Qingcheng has been muddied by me. There are many clues, true or false, inextricably linked. No matter how powerful the Yunguo spy agency is, they will not be able to find me so quickly..."

"If I'm not wrong, those who are hiding in the dark and watching should be because of the previous fraud case in the imperial examination, where we have exposed a loophole, which led to being targeted by Yunguo!"

In order to force Xiao Cheng to abolish the policy on local government schools, the three families planned an imperial examination fraud case, trying to completely ruin the local government school's promotion and exemption system.

In the end, this matter was discovered because Hai Rui was parading to Weichu Mansion and was smashed by accident. This was discovered before the imperial examination, which led to the failure of the final plan.

Hearing that the fraud in the imperial examination revealed flaws, Gongsun Song couldn't help but raise his voice, saying:
"Any flaws have been revealed? Impossible! I even went to watch it myself, it's impossible that I didn't clean it up!"

Shi Mingzhe shook his head slightly and said:
"How can there be no flaws? It's just whether it can be discovered..."

Ji Fang also had an ugly face, and said in a deep voice:

"Although the disciples of the three families who were sent to deal with them are all dead, their school of origin cannot be erased. I am afraid that because of this, you and my three families will be targeted by the court."

When Xiao Cheng ordered a thorough investigation of the imperial examination fraud case, several people involved in the case all "committed suicide", which was extremely suspicious.At the beginning, Ji Fang got information from the Ministry of Punishment and the Legalist disciples of Dali Temple, and knew that the case was not closed, and someone had been secretly investigating it.

As for the disciples of the school of thought that the few Yunguo officials who dealt with at the beginning were from, it was easy to find out, and there was no way to cover it up.It is common sense for Yun Guo to send spies to watch over him.

When Gongsun Song heard the words, his breathing stagnated, and he sat back on the chair weakly, sighing:

"I couldn't get away with the fraud case, and now you are secretly engaging in assassination methods. These are very difficult..."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Song hesitated slightly, then sat up straight again, stared at Shi Mingzhe, and asked:

"When you did this, you didn't leave anything unclean!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Mingzhe shook his head again and again, saying:
"I'm not stupid. I arrange people to handle all the matters, and I can't be found. These spies of the Yun Kingdom court, even if they start from me to investigate, there will be no results!"

Relying on the influence of the three schools in the world, as long as there is no real evidence in the hands of the Yunguo court, no matter how suspicious they are, they can only send people to watch secretly.

Taking another look at the two people who were showing signs of uneasiness, Shi Mingzhe shook his head slightly, and said again:

"Nowadays, people in Yunguo's capital are already in such panic, and the officials above the court also have a lot of scruples and suspicions. The various yamen are restrained, and they dare not vigorously investigate."

"Among the officials in the court, some people are afraid of the Yang family and the power of their three in-laws, and feel that it is not good for the country. Or some people just speculate on Shangyi, thinking that the current Emperor Yun will take the opportunity to clean up the four families, so they intend to take the opportunity to make meritorious service Higher... my plan is now more than half completed."

"Even the assassination of the prince that was planned before is already dispensable. Please rest assured, I don't need to take any further action. As long as I secretly stir up something, all the officials in the court will definitely treat the Yang family and the others." In-laws, attack them together. When the Yang family is forced to fight back, we can sit back and watch the chaos in the court of Yunguo."

Whether the two princes are safe or not, or whether they were assassinated or not, to the three families, it makes no difference.The only thing they want is to cause chaos in the court of Yunguo, so that their forces can take the opportunity to take root in the court of Yunguo.

At this time, as long as they are behind the scenes to fuel the flames, this plan of chaos in the court of Yun Kingdom will be successful.There is no need to do the rest!

Hearing this, Ji Fang and Gongsun Song pondered for a moment, and then fell silent.

Still the same sentence, without evidence, and unable to grasp the current situation, there is nothing the Yun Guo Chaotang can do to win them.

Ji Fang was silent for a long time before he said worriedly:

"It's better this way..."

Gongsun Song is no better than Ji Fang, his tone is always spicy and blunt, now he said bluntly:
"Up to now, I can't help regretting planning with you. Today's matter is mostly because of your insistence, which made it so bad. If there is a mistake, and it has the momentum to implicate my famous family, then You can't blame me, Gongsun Song, for acting on the wind..."

Obviously, this sentence is telling Shi Mingzhe that if the situation collapses beyond recovery, he cannot die with Shi Mingzhe.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mingzhe smiled noncommittally, and did not continue to say anything...
-
Outside Zhongqing City, there was only a "rumbling" sound of horseshoes coming from a distance.

The general and school of the city defense battalion on the city wall suddenly felt tense.

At this time, His Majesty has not returned from his tour, and the capital is empty. If there are ambitious people, it is a good time to usurp power.At this time, the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded outside the city, so people can't help but think about it...

The head lieutenant on the city wall, as if he was facing a great enemy, quickly ordered his soldiers to put on their armor and put on the strings. He even put on his armor and kissed the city wall, urging his soldiers to guard against death.

Under the tense atmosphere above the city wall, there were hundreds of people outside the city wearing light armor, holding knives and bows, full of murderous aura, galloping like solid elite cavalry, strangling in front of the city gate. The horse stopped.

The captain of the city gate felt a little relaxed when he saw that there were only a few hundred cavalry coming.

But at this time, he was forced by the killing spirit of the cavalry in front of him. He was obviously a brave general in the army, but he couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart, his limbs became weak, and his heart was timid to fight, so he didn't dare to look directly at his sharp edge.

The captain of the city gate kept his responsibilities in mind, and boldly shouted down:
"Come, who is it? The capital is under curfew, the city gates have been locked and cannot be opened lightly! If there is nothing important, please invite the Shangguan to rest at the post station outside the city!"

The hundreds of cavalry outside the city were covered in dust, and no matter whether they were horses or men, they were all panting heavily. It looked like they had traveled a long distance and came all the way fast.

But even so, this cavalry was still lined up solemnly in front of the city gate at this time, and the military appearance was not at all messy.Even the war horse under his crotch did not walk around and neigh without authorization.

The strict military discipline and the solemn military appearance make people secretly startled.

Just when the captain of the city gate became more and more flustered, and wanted to find someone to warn the city, he saw the elite cavalry in front of him, and the formation slowly dispersed.

Several figures came out surrounded by crowds.

The person in charge turned out to be a monk wearing a black monk robe with a sinister face.

At this time, the monk also looked tired and dusty.

Facing the inquiry from the school captain of Chengmen, he held up the imperial decree in his hand and shouted loudly:
"I am granted the title of Marquis of Changzhou by imperial conferment, doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Yao Guangxiao, the Zuo benevolent deed of the Court of Excellence! I return to Beijing by His Majesty's decree, and you will open the door as soon as possible without any mistakes!"

Wearing a black monk robe, and with such an elite escort monk, Yao Guangxiao is the only one in the entire Yun Kingdom!
In fact, speaking of it, Yao Guangxiao had a better reputation among Xia Guoxiuyi envoys.

After all, during the Jinling City Rebellion in the Xia Kingdom, the King of Jin rebelled and entered the palace directly. He was defeated and committed suicide in the end, and several princes were also implicated.Yao Guangxiao planned and plotted such a father-son-brother-fighting incident, which made the royal family of Xia Kingdom the laughing stock of the world.

The most important thing is that this person caused chaos in Jinling City and turmoil in the court of Xia Kingdom, and he was able to escape unscathed in the end.When the embroidered clothes envoy talked about this matter internally, they all felt ashamed, and they all said that Yao Guangxiao would be killed to wash away the shame.

But in Yunguo, Yao Guangxiao's name is not so resounding.After all, those treacherous and secret fights are really not things that can be said on the bright side.

However, Yao Guangxiao's title is Marquis and Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, who is a third-rank official title, which is really bluffing.It was seen again that it was escorted by elite Youzhou Tuqi. The captain of Chengmen didn't dare to delay, so he quickly put down the hanging basket and took the imperial edict.

After careful inspection several times, after confirming that there is no problem, he quickly ordered:
"Open the city gates!"

The door shaft turned and made a "squeak" sound.The city gate opened, and the captain hurriedly led his subordinates to the gate, bowed down and saluted:

"Meet the Marquis of Changzhou!"

With a cold face, Yao Guangxiao tightly reined in the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped the horse into the city.Hundreds of Youzhou Tuqi, with murderous aura all over their bodies, followed closely behind.The sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground resounded in the city.

Seeing Yao Guangxiao's dignified and murderous figure when he left, the captain of Chengmen swallowed suddenly, and murmured in a low voice:
"I always feel that something big is about to happen..."

At this time, Yao Guangxiao, who had already gone away, leaned on the horse and shouted loudly:

"Take the imperial decree, the military amulet, and your majesty's imperial order, and go to the Chinese military governor's mansion, the forbidden army office, the Gyeonggi yamen, the Shangyu preparation office yamen, and the Dongji factory to convey your majesty's imperial decree and call everyone to come to discuss the matter!"

"General Nan Jiyun of the Central Guard Army, immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army. The left and right guards, Wanjie Battalion, Yunyi Battalion, and the fourth battalion are guarding the palace, but anyone who attacks the palace, no matter who they are, will be killed!"

"The Xiaorui Camp, Xiaowu Camp, Guangrui Camp, and Shanghuyi Camp will immediately take over the defense of the city wall and blockade the nine gates in the middle of the capital. No one is allowed to leave the capital without a military order. Anyone who resists will be killed!"

"Shenwei Camp, Kesheng Camp, and Mingwu Camp will immediately seal off the Jixia Academy. Inform the hundreds of students in the academy that there is a sudden plague in Beijing, and the Jixia Academy will be closed for three days. If anyone is forced to leave People, kill!"

"Buwu Battalion, Xiongwu Battalion, Xiongshun Battalion, Xiongsheng Battalion, Ningwei Battalion, Ningwu Battalion, and the martial law capital, if anyone acts sneakily and blocks the attacking army, kill them!"

Several commands all end with the word "kill".The awe-inspiring murderous aura makes people shudder...
