Emperor Taizong’s Growth Plan Chapter 84: Civil officials? No, it’s even more powerful than military officials!

On the Dragon Boat Hall, Xiao Chengping withdrew all the attendants, leaving only Feng Bao, Yu Huatian served in front of him.

Feng Bao carefully spread the map in front of Xiao Cheng, then pointed to the map and bowed:

"Your Majesty, the Yuanling Mansion where the Yidao stayed yesterday is here."

After hearing this, Xiao Cheng looked along where Feng Bao pointed, his eyes moved and frowned:

"After passing Yuanling Mansion, will it be Wuling Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Bao quickly replied:

"Yes, it will take about two days to arrive at Taoyuan County, Xiamenii, Wuling Prefecture."

Xiao Cheng's brows were even tighter, his knuckles tapped on the imperial desk, and he narrowed his eyes and said:

"No matter how stupid the assassins are, they will never wait until I arrive at Wuling Mansion before taking action!"

From Wuling Prefecture to the Jiangzhou County in the future, they were all the territory that Yun State had just captured. Among the prefectures and counties, there were elite troops from Yun State left behind. There were also elite troops sent by Jiangzhou County to pick up the horse, and they were also preparing to pick up the horse in Wuling Prefecture.

Once this guard of honor arrives at Wuling Mansion, with more than 10,000 imperial guards on his side, the assassins do not have such ability and courage!

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng's voice became colder and said:

"That is to say, those people will definitely take action within two days!"

Yu Huatian, who was standing beside him, heard this and quickly spoke:

"I stopped in Yuanling Mansion yesterday, and Gongsun Ying wanted to leave the Yijia team many times... But please rest assured. I have always followed her personally and stared at her so tightly that she did not give her the opportunity to contact any outsiders. Even if she was willing to contact the assassins outside and convey information, she would not have the chance to do so!"

Gongsun Qing, who is the "Gongsun Ying" on the dragon boat now, actually wants to take the opportunity to escape.

But unfortunately, in Xiao Cheng and Yu Huatian's eyes, her actions seemed to be more like she wanted to contact the assassin outside.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Anyway, this 'Gongsun Ying' is aware of me!"

"yes."

And at this moment, I suddenly heard a slightly rapid pace outside the hall.

"Report!"

The Imperial Army general walked into the hall quickly, leaned over and bowed down, and replied:

"I heard from Your Majesty, under the rule of Yuanling Prefecture, the county magistrate of Luohe County urgently reported! Several troops and horses in Xia State fled into Yuanling Prefecture last night and robbed everywhere. The county magistrate had mobilized troops to encircle and suppress them, fearing that the emperor would be shocked, so he specially ordered people to come and report!"

As soon as this said, Feng Bao and Yu Huatian in the hall suddenly became nervous and looked at Xiao Cheng together.

Although the six counties in the southwest, as well as Jiangzhou counties, have all been captured by the Yun Kingdom.

But before the commander of Xia Kingdom and the Duke of Deyang Qimo was defeated and died, Anguo was enlightened and personally selected many capable, loyal and brave soldiers, scattered in the dense forests of several counties, in order to use them in the future counterattack in order to obtain the effect of the surprise troops.

He was able to mobilize these several troops and flock to Yuanling Mansion.

It was obviously for Xiao Cheng!

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said:

"These several remnants of Xia State's troops appeared quite in time... I satisfied him and transferred three thousand soldiers to encircle and suppress them!"

"yes!"

And at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps sounded again on the outside deck.

A little eunuch ran into the hall in panic and said anxiously:

"I told Your Majesty that after the lunch ceremonies today, there were civil and military officials and imperial guards, and suddenly felt discomfort in their abdomen and vomited and diarrhea. Lord Qin of the Imperial Hospital had already gone to diagnose it, saying it was a food poisoning image, and he immediately sent someone to ask His Majesty if there was anything unusual?"

Feng Bao, Yu Huatian exclaimed immediately after hearing this:

"Your Majesty, there must be a conspiracy!"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is the dark plot of the assassin behind him!"

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he was calm as usual. He first said to the eunuch:

"You go and report to Qin He and say I'm fine and let him concentrate on the treatment!"

"yes."

"Also, let me ask you how many people have symptoms!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly said:

"This servant knows! Some of the sick generals and generals of the imperial guards. Most of the remaining ones are adults under the fourth rank!"

"A hundred officials below the fourth rank?" Xiao Cheng said, looking at Feng Bao.

Seeing this, Feng Bao thought for a while, but hurriedly said:

"When you go back to Your Majesty, it should be because the ingredients used are different... The dragon boat where Your Majesty is located, the Xiangchi boat where the Empress Zhaoyi and the palace servants in the harem are located, and the floating boat where the civil and military officials are located. For safety, the ingredients used are mostly carried from the capital and carefully preserved. Even if you need anything else, you will send a special person to buy them in person."

"And in the fleet, the other officials below the fourth rank and the ingredients used by the imperial guards were obtained from surrounding prefectures and counties."

The three building ships that Yan Song had worked hard to build could only be called the dragon ship where Xiao Cheng was. The concubines and servants in the harem were named Xiangchi ship. The officials above the fourth rank, or the emperor's close ministers were named Fujing ship. The other officials could only be placed on the ships transformed from the warships.

Therefore, among the three building ships, they were all important figures in the Yun Kingdom. With Feng Bao's careful nature, he had known that the tour was not safe, so he was naturally prepared.

Sure enough, something happened...

When Yu Huatian heard this, he couldn't help but say:

"How could these people not hide their assassination?"

First, the remnants of the Xia army were raging, and then poisoning the things eaten by the guard of honor. This series of methods almost declared that they would take action immediately!

Xiao Cheng shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice:

"Whether they or I know that these two days are the last time to start, what else should I cover up?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng paused slightly and continued:

"I just don't understand. Does it seem a bit extravagant when they poison it?"

Xiao Cheng frowned, as if he was confused.

Feng Bao, who was standing beside him, was silent for a while, and couldn't help but speak out and advise:

"Your Majesty, all the officials are sick and there are not many medicines in the fleet. If you are tired from the boat, you will probably not be able to bear it... Your Majesty, why don't we go back to Yuanling Mansion and repair it for a few days before heading to Wuling Mansion!"

When Xiao Cheng heard what Feng Bao said, a sudden flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. He suddenly thought of the key point, clapped his hands and said:

"Why do you need to return? I sent an order to allocate three thousand imperial guards to escort all sick officials to Yuanling Prefecture for rest!"

After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, Feng Bao and Yu Huatian didn't react.

After being stunned for a while, after hearing what Xiao Cheng said clearly, the two were shocked again and said anxiously:

"No, Your Majesty! I'll transfer three thousand imperial guards to suppress the bandits, and then transfer three thousand escorts to all officials. How many guards are left by His Majesty?"

"Please think twice! Now that the assassin is staring at him in secret, the imperial guard must not be transferred away!"

There are only more than ten thousand imperial guards around Xiao Cheng.

It is acceptable to transfer three thousand imperial guards to encircle and suppress the bandits. But if you transfer three thousand to leave, there will be less than five thousand imperial guards left by Xiao Cheng.

As the assassins were eyeing each other, Feng Bao and Yu Huatian were unwilling to nod and agree no matter what they said.

After hearing the opposition between the two, Xiao Cheng looked thoughtful again, and then he nodded directly and said:

"That's right, then let's not adjust it for now!"

Xiao Cheng let go so easily, which made Feng Bao and Yu Huatian stunned.

After all, Your Majesty, he always takes risks with his own force, and has not been so easy to persuade before!

Xiao Cheng didn't care much about the strangeness they showed. He smiled slightly and said with a deep meaning:

"Let's watch!"

After Xiao Cheng gave the order, the fleet immediately moored on the river surface.

Under the care of Qin He of the Imperial Hospital, several ships carried a group of sick officials who were moaning weakly, and turned around and turned back towards Yuanling Prefecture.

Three thousand imperial guards were also recruited to Luohe County a hundred miles away to be responsible for clearing the remnants of the Xia army.

The remaining Yi Shi's fleet continued to move towards Wuling Mansion.

But before the sun sets in the west, several fast horses were on the bank of the river, carrying the imperial guards and generals, galloping in pursuit of the fleet, conveying emergency military information.

"Report! Report to Your Majesty, Yuanling Mansion urgently reported!"

"Your Majesty, thousands of remnants of Xia army arrived at the city of Yuanling Prefecture and besieged the city. Lord Qin and the sick officials of the Imperial Hospital were blocked on the river and could not enter the city for treatment. Please make a quick decision!"

Hearing this emergency military newspaper, Feng Bao suddenly changed his color and said in shock and angrily:

"What are the county magistrates doing these local areas? Didn't they report before that the bandits were in Luohe County a hundred miles away? Why did it take so long to arrive at the city of Yuanling Prefecture? Could it be that these bandits could fly?"

Yu Huatian's face was extremely ugly, and said:

"It is quite strange that the thief acts like this, and it makes people unable to understand what he is planning."
