Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 70

Just when Wang Xiao was shocked, a young eunuch walked in quietly and handed a booklet to Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng took it casually, opened the booklet and flipped through it, but couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"In my treasury, even a clean rat can't stay. But in the treasury of the Taishi Mansion, a total of 580 million taels of silver was found. This is really..."

Wang Xiao lowered his eyelids, his expression became calm again, and he said with a clear conscience:
"All the expenses in the country are drawn from the treasury of the Grand Master's Mansion. The money for disaster relief, the food and salaries of the army, the salaries of hundreds of officials, and even the expenses in the palace of His Majesty all go to the treasury. The Taishi Mansion's mansion The treasury is the state treasury of the Yun Kingdom! As for the daily expenses of the ministers, they are all used for their salaries, and they have never used a penny in the treasury..."

Without raising his head, Xiao Cheng continued to flip through the account book in his hand, and replied casually:

"What the grand master said, I believe it!"

Xiao Cheng's casual sentence directly blocked what Wang Xiao was about to say, making Wang Xiao slightly taken aback.

But he raised his head to look at Xiao Cheng, only to find that Xiao Cheng's face was full of calm, without any look of disbelief.

Wang Xiao opened his mouth and said again:

"In the treasury, there should have been 580 million 3000 taels of silver. His Majesty's people should have embezzled 3000 taels, and their hands and feet are still a little dirty."

Xiao Cheng was not surprised when he heard this, he just nodded and said:

"Forty-three thousand taels? Well, it's not too much. This time, the house raid was the responsibility of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army was originally managed by Zhongli, how could military discipline be better? It was not good to do too much before, and it was impossible to train the Imperial Army. , I have to let it go, and it will be fine in the future."

Xiao Cheng didn't care, because he knew that this person who was so courageous enough to covet this money must have stretched out his hand a lot in the past.Let Cheng Bushi check it out, and then ransack the house. The money back is at least 6 to [-] taels.
At this time, Xiao Cheng became interested, put down the account book in his hand, looked at Wang Xiao, and said curiously:

"I suddenly have a question, the Grand Master is still in the mood to ask this question, isn't he worried about his current situation?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiao chuckled lightly and said:
"Since Your Majesty did not kill the minister immediately, for the stability of the country, he will never move the minister in a short time."

Wang Xiao is not stupid, obviously he can figure out the key point.He has been in power for 20 years, and promoted people all over Yunguo, Chaotang Prefecture and County.

Although these people may not all serve Wang Xiao desperately, but if Xiao Cheng were to punish Wang Xiao for the crime of treason and usurpation, as long as a very small part of these people were worried about being punished, they would come and do nothing endlessly to connect with each other. Rebellion, that would be a big deal.

So now, no matter how wronged Xiao Cheng was before, he could only save Wang Xiao's life.

Xiao Cheng nodded when he heard what Wang Xiao said, and said with a half-smile:
"I won't kill you easily at this time, but it doesn't mean I won't kill you in the future! But the Grand Master is still so calm, it seems that you still have another trump card in your hand!"

When Wang Xiao heard this, her face froze slightly, and then she forced a smile and said:
"Your Majesty is really worrying too much. It has reached such a point. What cards can we have? It's just that the matter is coming to an end, and it's all about finding out."

Xiao Cheng shook his head, but he didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he changed the subject and said suddenly:
"The Grand Master is from the Yin Yang family. If so, why not see how my luck is at this time?"

When Wang Xiao heard this, she thought Xiao Cheng was showing off to herself that the status of the two of them had changed, and she wondered in her heart that the emperor was still young after all.He calmed down and echoed:

"Your Majesty is now in power, and it is the time when luck is on the rise."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xiao Cheng smiled suddenly.

The next moment, Xiao Cheng's thoughts moved, and in the line of sight that only he could see, the huge turntable moved accordingly, and all kinds of brilliance shone one by one.

Then, a white light shone in front of Xiao Cheng's eyes.

[White Zeka, determined to serve the country
Card effect: After using it, within three years, the minister's loyalty will increase by 1 every three months, and the troops will not rebel (...)
Card Description: Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and treat death like home]

Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes, his heart was filled with great ecstasy.

Now that he is in control of the court, he still has not punished Wang Xiao's crimes. Isn't it because he is afraid that his cronies will lead the army to rebel without doing anything!

You know, among the army stationed at the border of Yunli, they are all generals promoted by Wang Xiao himself.If any idiot is worried about being questioned and goes to Beijing with a knife without doing anything, then he will be in big trouble!

Although the card is white now, it doesn't hold up well.Give yourself three years, can't you still deal with the frontier army?
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng couldn't help smiling, gave Wang Xiao a thumbs up, nodded repeatedly, and praised:
"It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

Wang Xiao frowned slightly, and looked at Xiao Cheng suspiciously.

What does it mean?
Xiao Cheng didn't care about Wang Xiao's doubts, and he wanted to use Ceka as soon as he thought about it.

But at this time, the white Zeka shining in front of him remained silent.

Xiao Cheng's smile faltered, and his brows gradually frowned.

After carefully looking at the card, Xiao Cheng discovered that there was a line of small characters behind the brackets behind the card's effect.

【……(Conditions of use: You are at war with an enemy country.)……】

The corner of Xiao Cheng's mouth twitched, he snorted coldly, cast a glance at Wang Xiao, shook his head and said:
"Hehe, Yin Yang family, that's all!"

After speaking, he walked away.

Looking at Xiao Cheng's leaving figure, Wang Xiao gradually frowned, showing a puzzled look on his face.

Is the little emperor's brain really healthy?

When Xiao Cheng walked out of the side hall where Wang Xiao was under house arrest, the little eunuch beside him hurriedly greeted him.

"Feng Bao hasn't come back yet?" Xiao Cheng said casually.

The little eunuch hurriedly said:

"not yet."

Xiao Cheng nodded, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Where is Concubine Zhang placed?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine and Empress Zhaoyi are both placed in the Changqiu Palace, right next to them, and will be taken care of by special personnel."

Xiao Cheng nodded, flicked his sleeves, and said:
"lead the way!"

Hearing this, the little eunuch hurriedly took Xiao Cheng to Changqiu Palace.

It should be to make it easier for the Imperial Army to set up guards. The place where Wang Xiao is under house arrest is not far from the place where Nan Rongshu and Concubine Zhang are under house arrest, just a few steps away.

Seeing Xiao Cheng coming in person, the guards in front of the palace gate hurriedly saluted, and then opened the palace gate under Xiao Cheng's signal.

Compared with Wang Xiao's side, the supervision here is obviously much stricter.After all, Wang Xiao only has a rough grasp of martial arts, so he doesn't have to worry about escaping.And Nan Rongshu here is an eighth-level master.

Just in case, Xiao Cheng even took action himself, sealing off the meridians of her whole body with the force of a yang finger.

The door of the hall opened, and what I saw head-on was the palace maid Ling'er with a vigilant look.
