Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 61
In the early morning of spring, people can still feel a little chill.

Wang Xiao stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his face slightly tired, looking into the distance, his eyes were deep and heavy, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was harboring worries in his heart.

"Grand Master, there is still an hour before the court. You haven't slept all night, you should take a nap first." The guard behind him said worriedly.

Wang Xiao wrapped the brocade cloak that was already a little wet from the dew, shook his head slowly, and said:

"No need, Shengwen hasn't come back yet?"

The guard behind him shook his head and said:

"Not yet."

Wang Xiao raised his eyelids, and stood firmly in the courtyard without continuing to ask.

Just looking at his slightly rapid breathing, it can be seen that he is not as calm as he appears on the surface.

In a fit of rage, Wang Xiao photographed the government guards arbitrarily arresting court officials, paralyzing the entire court in Yunguo for several days, causing chaos in Beijing and causing countless losses.

Both the ruling and opposition parties complained to Wang Xiao.

But even if such a huge price was spent, Tie Shengwen tried his best to investigate, so far, only a very small number of dark sons of the Ailao clan have been dug out.

Wang Xiao originally wanted to remove all obstacles, and then take over the throne from Xiao Cheng logically.

But now all the officials are full of complaints, and the hearts of the common people are uncertain.

In desperation, Wang Xiao had no choice but to formally ascend the throne under the condition that the Ailao clan was secretly watching. He wanted to use this matter to offer a large amount of rewards to appease the officials and stabilize people's hearts.

With such a hasty arrangement, there were hexagram warnings before, even though he thought he had mastered all the power inside and outside the capital, but Wang Xiao still had no idea in his heart.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao couldn't help thinking of divination for himself.

Thinking together, Wang Xiao turned around and said to Fu Wei behind him:
"Go get my..."

Halfway through speaking, Wang Xiao was startled again.

The Yangyang family broke away from Taoism hundreds of years ago and established their own school because the philosophy was contrary to Taoism's theory of "following the way of heaven".In the classics of the Yin Yang family, it has always been taught that the disciples should guide the destiny.

It was also like this, when Wang Xiao calculated that hexagram, even though he was worried and apprehensive in his heart, he was still unwilling to give up.

And now, it has reached the point where the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.Back then Wang Xiao didn't give up because of the hexagram, and now he won't.

"Teacher, what do you want this subordinate to take?" Seeing that Wang Xiao stopped talking halfway through, the Fu Wei couldn't help but asked cautiously.

Wang Xiao smiled wryly, shook his head, and said:

"It's up to people to make things happen, forget it..."

"Report to Grand Master, Mister Tie is back!" At this moment, a guard hurried into the courtyard and cupped his hands at Wang Xiao.

When Wang Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said:
"Quick, let him in."

As soon as the words fell, Tie Shengwen, who was busy in the world and full of tiredness, strode into the courtyard, bowed to Wang Xiao, and said in a deep voice:
"Teacher, everything has been arranged properly! The five hundred guards and the rest of the White Feather Army's elite have all been transferred to the palace, and I will personally arrange the defense!"

Hearing this, Wang Xiao let out a long sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, he patted Tie Shengwen on the shoulder, and said:

"Shengwen, thank you for your hard work!"

Since the hexagram was a warning, in order to ensure everything was safe, Wang Xiao naturally had to mobilize all his strength.

Wang Xiao couldn't be sure, which army inside and outside Zhongqing City was sincerely loyal to him, and which army was buried by the Ailao clan, so he didn't dare to move lightly.

But the guards in his hands and the remaining elite of the White Feather Army are his most loyal and elite forces, and they will never betray him no matter what.

At this time, Wang Xiao believed that the overall situation was in his hands, and he had just figured out the knots in his heart for many days. The gloom in his eyes disappeared, his spirit was full of vigor, and he regained the demeanor of a famous official in the world before.

He flicked the brocade cloak behind him, and said boldly:
"Change clothes, go to court!"
-
Before dawn, Huang Yan, accompanied by his foster sons, came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Seeing this, the little eunuchs waiting in front of the door glanced at each other secretly, and one of them greeted him with a flattering smile.

"Small man, I have met Mr. Zhongchang, please greet him!"

Seeing this, Huang Yan's adopted son, who was the leader, snorted softly, raised his head and said:

"Hmph, even this little eunuch who works as a janitor knows more about etiquette than Feng Bao."

As soon as these words were said, the crowd immediately let out a burst of laughter.

The little eunuch who came up to him lowered his eyelids, smiled in agreement, and asked in a humble tone:

"It's still early at this time, why did Master Zhongchang come here?"

Huang Yan waved his hand to calm down the adoptive sons around him, and then said with a half-smile:

"I'm getting older, I'm sleepy, and I woke up early. Thinking that today is the great court meeting, I was afraid that His Majesty would delay the time, so I came to serve His Majesty to change clothes."

"Hey, Mr. Zhongchang Shi really has a heart! It's just such a thing, why do you need to come in person? The weather is not warm, why don't you go to the side hall for a drink of tea, and the villain can call your majesty."

Huang Yan seemed to be very pleased with the little eunuch, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said:

"No need, after all, it's the first time for Your Majesty to attend a grand court meeting. If the miscellaneous family doesn't go there in person, it's inevitable that they will be a little worried!"

The little eunuch moved his eyes and continued to stop:
"Your Majesty doesn't know something. Our Majesty gets up early and has a very bad temper. It is a hard job to wake up His Majesty. Your Majesty should let the villain do it!"

Hearing this, Huang Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes, frowned, and said in a sharp voice:

"No, open the door of the palace, and the miscellaneous family will call His Majesty in person!"

The little eunuch didn't want to let go, and at this moment, his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to continue to stop him, he heard a light cough from behind him.

"Since the Zhongchang attendant wants to come in, let him come in, Your Majesty is already awake!"

Feng Bao's voice came from the hall, and the little eunuch who was blocking Huang Yan felt relieved, and quickly moved out of the way.

Huang Yan moved his eyes, and quietly looked at the little eunuch at the door, and then walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Slave, I pay my respects to Your Majesty..."

Huang Yan was about to salute, but subconsciously raised his head to look at him, and the words of greeting suddenly froze.

On the steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a figure wearing a black crown, a long sword on his waist, and a twelve-pronged crown on his head stood upright.A majestic majesty, majesty and majesty filled the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Hanging down, covering the upper half of Xiao Cheng's face, making Huang Yan unable to see his face and expression clearly.

Huang Yan swallowed his saliva, fixedly stared at Xiao Cheng, and kept sizing up.

The person in front of him was very different from the little emperor he knew, no matter in terms of body shape or aura.The only thing that is the same is the exposed half face.

It's just that no matter how you look at it, they don't look like the same person!
Thinking of this, Huang Yan's heart suddenly jumped.
-
In a street in Zhongqing City, a knight-errant with a sword was slowly swaying.When he reached the corner, he scanned the surroundings behind him. After confirming that no one was following him, he turned around and walked directly into the alley beside him, stopping at the door of a house.

You Xia'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, a moment later, someone opened the door and poked his head out, nodded slightly to him, and stepped out of the way.

The knight-errant with a negative sword walked into it and took a look around.

At this time, dozens of rangers had already gathered in this family, all armed with weapons, looking at him.

"Uncle Guo, the grand master has already set off on the carriage and headed for the palace!"

The gathered crowd dispersed one by one, revealing the figures of Guo Xie and Ju Meng.

"set off!"
