Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 71 Just in Case
Xiao Cheng ignored Ling'er's vigilant eyes, and said casually:

"Go to your Patriarch, where is she?"

Ling'er pursed her lips, a look of determination flashed across her eyes, and she stood firmly in front of Xiao Cheng.

"Bold!"

Seeing this, the general of the Forbidden Army next to Xiao Cheng sternly scolded, and immediately took a step forward to protect Xiao Cheng, with his right hand already on the handle of the knife at his waist.

In fact, all the forbidden soldiers who experienced the palace change knew that at his age, His Majesty was already a rare master in the Jianghu.Putting on the appearance of this escort is just a show of loyalty.

Xiao Cheng casually pushed aside the guarding generals of the Forbidden Army, and said to Ling'er with his hands behind his back:
"Don't be too nervous."

Seeing Linger's expression of disbelief, Xiao Cheng added:
"It's a good thing! If I can get what I want, I can release your people."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Cheng calmly pushed open the palace door, and signaled the people behind him to stay.

Xu Shi heard the commotion outside, Concubine Zhang stood up, looked at Xiao Cheng with a complicated expression, and said in a shy voice:

"His Majesty……"

Xiao Cheng nodded, and glanced at the palace.

Changqiu Palace is a palace that has been vacant for a long time, and two people were temporarily placed under house arrest.But despite this, the layout and furnishings are extremely appropriate.

Although Nan Rongshu and Concubine Zhang are members of the Ailao clan, after all, Zhaoyi and Concubine Zhang have such identities that the people in the palace dare not be careless.

Xiao Cheng tilted his head slightly, and saw Nan Rongshu lying sideways on the desk behind Concubine Zhang, like a dead salted fish, her eyes were dull and lifeless, as if she had suffered a major blow.

Xiao Cheng frowned, pouted at Nan Rongshu, and said curiously:

"What happened to her?"

Concubine Zhang gave a dry cough and said softly:
"Your Majesty, it looked like this just now, and it should have been hit by His Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng pouted, shook his head and said:

"She lacks setbacks and trials, just hit her a few more times... By the way, can you decide on some things?"

Concubine Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then bowed her head and said:
"Your Majesty, please speak clearly."

Xiao Cheng sat straight on the main seat in the hall, and said in a deep voice:

"When I ascended the throne, the treasury in the palace was empty, and the royal family's inheritance has lasted for 600 years. Even if the power is lost now, it will never be so clean. I sent someone to copy the Grand Master's Mansion before, but they couldn't find it. Think After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that you are the concubine that the late emperor trusted and loved, and you even participated in such things as creating the secret palace, so these things should have fallen into your hands."

Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, Concubine Zhang was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent for a moment before she spoke:

"To tell you the truth, the inheritance of Yun Kingdom's royal family is indeed in my hands."

With a movement of Xiao Cheng's eyes, he keenly caught the key words in her words, narrowed his eyes, and said:
"In your hand?"

"Yes, even the lord and the clan elders don't know the whereabouts of these things, only I know!" Concubine Zhang said decisively.

"evidence!"

Concubine Zhang said without hesitation:
"In the Yongxin Hall, on the main beam, there is the royal inheritance treasure left by the founding ancestor of Yunguo, the Angry Dragon Sword."

Without waiting for Xiao Cheng to continue asking questions, Concubine Zhang continued:
"In addition, there are hundreds of years of royal family's collection of magical weapons, treasures and objects, and millions of gold and silver properties. These things are all the remains of the Yun Kingdom's royal family for 600 years. In the midst of this, the confidence to revive Yun Kingdom... It's a pity that the late Emperor didn't make it to that time."

Speaking of this, Concubine Zhang's expression couldn't help but dim, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Yo, this is a story!

Xiao Cheng blinked his eyes, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander.

"So Your Majesty, these things may be exchanged for letting go of my Ailao clan?" Dowager Zhang stared at Xiao Cheng closely, and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Cheng came back to his senses, turned his head and shouted outside:

"Come on!"

The next moment, a group of forbidden soldiers rushed in with their sabers in their hands, with fierce expressions on their faces.

Nan Rongshu, who was still immersed in frustration just now, sat up suddenly, her eyes became sharp again, and she stood up abruptly.

Concubine Zhang sighed, her expression was ashen, she was silent.

Xiao Cheng frowned, turned his head away, and reprimanded:

"Let someone come in to draw up a decree, why are you rushing in? Get out!"

A group of imperial guards who were as fierce as tigers and wolves were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down on one knee, bowed their heads in pleading guilty, and hurriedly exited the hall.

Xiao Cheng turned his head to look at Concubine Zhang, and said:
"I will decree now to avoid all unfair treatment of the Ailao clan. From now on, the Ailao clan will be ordinary subjects of the Yun Kingdom. Those Ailao clansmen who were arrested for trespassing into the forbidden palace will also be exempted from the death penalty. Sentenced to serve in the army for three years."

Concubine Zhang's gray eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Xiao Cheng with burning eyes, and said:
"Is this true, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Cheng stood up abruptly and said:

"Only what you say is true!"

Nan Rongshu, who had never spoken, suddenly asked at this moment:
"It should be, there are other conditions!"

Xiao Cheng looked at Nan Rongshu, nodded and said:
"Of course there are. I'm not stupid. How can the 600-year-old resentment of the Ailao clan be eliminated by an imperial decree?"

Nan Rongshu nodded and said:
"That makes sense, what's the condition?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng suddenly showed a half-smile expression, looked at Nan Rongshu and said:

"you!"

Concubine Zhang looked at Xiao Cheng suddenly, with a complicated expression of astonishment on her face.

Without waiting for Nan Rongshu's reaction, Xiao Cheng hastily said:

"Hey, I'm not doing it for you. I just want to prevent your Ailao clan from making trouble! You stay in the palace and continue to be your fake Zhaoyi. You are in the palace, what kind of clan are you? I've always been afraid. Your clansmen feel that they have you as their reliance in the palace, so they won't get overwhelmed when things happen."

Xiao Cheng is really not for Nan Rongshu, although she only looks at her appearance, she is really greedy.

Even if the Ailao clan walked out of the mountains, it would take a certain amount of time to integrate into Yunguo due to the hundreds of years of targeting by the Yunguo court.

If there is some conflict with ordinary people at this time, some idiots get excited and something happens, there will inevitably be discussions all over the country, and there will be another disturbance.

But as long as Nan Rongshu stays in the palace as the patriarch of the Ailao Clan, ordinary people must have a little bit of fear when facing the Ailao Clan. Big things happen on impulse.

Nan Rongshu stared at Xiao Cheng, with a hint of thought in her eyes.

"This method is good for both parties. It was good for you to cooperate with me before, so let's continue to cooperate for a while. When your clan stabilizes, I will naturally let you out of the palace!" Xiao Cheng continued.

This sentence moved Nan Rongshu's heart, she nodded and said:
"it is good!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng smiled triumphantly, and turned to look at Concubine Zhang.

Concubine Zhang stood up slowly, nodded and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the place where the treasure is hidden is in my mind, please send me a pen, ink and paper."

Xiao Cheng nodded and motioned to the little eunuch beside him to fetch it.

"Since the concubine did not tell your clansmen about these things that the concubine hid, why did she use them in exchange for the safety of the clansmen at this time?" Xiao Cheng suddenly asked again.

Concubine Zhang lowered her head and said:

"Leaving these things is not greedy for money, but just in case."

Xiao Cheng nodded, and said again:
"Then if your tribe wins, how will you explain it?"

"It's also just in case..."

Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said softly:
"Thank you, Concubine!"
