Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 81 Even the emperor, he has to eat the soft rice

"Really?" In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Cheng blinked, looked at the letter and bank notes in front of him, and reconfirmed.

Feng Bao stood aside, bowed his body, and replied without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true! Lord Ma sent his youngest son to the door yesterday, and sent 3000 taels of silver and a letter to the servant. In the letter, he asked the servant to help, and promised to thank you afterwards."

Xiao Cheng shook his head and snorted coldly:

"He gave you money just to ask you to help find a way to send the daughter of the Yang family into the palace? Hmph, it's hard to do errands all day long, so you can play with these moths!"

"Your Majesty, Ma Minwen, the youngest son of Lord Ma, the grandson of the old Taiwei, and the only son of the Shaofu Ling, the three of them took a woman from the same family. In the letter, he said that all three families are now being reused, and he suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. Frightened. But he also thinks that His Majesty lacks available people, so he dare not resign..." Feng Bao replied.

Ma Minwen's words should have been intentionally told to Feng Bao.The purpose is for him to tell Xiao Cheng to show the awe in his heart, and he will never dare to overstep the rules in the future.

Xiao Cheng changed his mind and understood what Ma Minwen meant, but he still sneered and said:
"If I suspect the three of them in the future, could it be possible that a woman in the palace can make me withdraw my murderous intentions by blowing the wind on my pillow? You go back and tell him that as long as the three families know how to advance and retreat, and have a sense of proportion, I will be more honorable and honorable. Move them a little bit."

Ma, Tao, and Qu's three families, although they are relatives by marriage, have different family traditions and dispositions, so they are really not all the same.In addition, Xiao Cheng has the golden finger in his hand, so he can see the loyalty value of the three Patriarchs.

So even though the three families are all powerful and have certain hidden dangers, Xiao Cheng still has the confidence to control them.The big deal is that when the time comes, exchange their real power with honor and high positions.

Hearing this, Feng Bao lowered his head slightly and said:
"Your Majesty's benevolence is a blessing to the court officials and our servants..."

Xiao Cheng didn't speak, and picked up the letter in his hand to look at it again.

In the letter, Ma Minwen's tone was sincere, he kept saying that he was old and ill, and wanted to retire, but now that His Majesty has no one under his command, that's why he supported his sick body, and even bluntly said that as long as there is a suitable candidate, he will resign as soon as possible , full of sincerity and fear on paper.

Xiao Cheng looked at it for a while, pondered for a moment, and said with a sneer:
"Hmph, the old fox is very sensible, this is to pave the way for the family..."

Previously, the three families had helped Xiao Cheng to stabilize the court, and now they were so knowledgeable, Xiao Cheng naturally wanted to show something.If the four daughters of the Yang family are passed through, the juniors of the three families and Xiao Cheng will become brother-in-law.

Such a good way of managing contacts for decades and accumulating foundations is at least the way to keep the family prosperous and rich for a hundred years!

"Your Majesty, it's not that this servant has accepted Lord Ma's benefits. It's that this servant feels that His Majesty might as well agree." Feng Bao said cautiously when he saw this.

Xiao Cheng moved his eyes, looked at Feng Bao who suddenly had the courage to persuade him, and said:
"How to say?"

Seeing that Xiao Cheng was not angry, Feng Bao felt relieved, and quickly explained:
"Before Your Majesty, didn't you always have a headache about the emptiness of the national treasury? I received news from the sticky stick of my minister that the Ma family and the Qu family have been madly selling off farmland shops in Fuchu, antiques and curiosities in the past two days. I guess, now the two families add up , has gathered a small million taels of silver."

Feng Bao paused, then continued:
"Yesterday, Ma Minwen's son hinted that he intended to send this money to the palace as the dowry of the Yang family..."

Hearing the word Yinzi, Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

The next moment, he suddenly remembered a Zeka he had used before.

【White Ceka, Young Peach and Plum
Card effect: (Permanent) relatives and courtiers, there is a probability to recommend famous concubines and ministers.Every time you get a famous concubine, you can get a fund of the concubine's charm * 1.Negative, the person who recommends the famous concubine increases the influence by one hundred.

...]

Xiao Cheng's eyes moved, and he suddenly realized something in his heart.

Yang Xuanyan is a famous minister, and he must be a person who is famous in history books.But his attributes, the name he had never heard of, and the behavior of the Ma and Qu families at this time, it is estimated that when the historian introduced some concubine, he mentioned it casually.

"Damn, to be an emperor you have to eat soft food..."

Xiao Cheng muttered to himself, then looked at Feng Bao, and joked:

"Okay, Ma Minwen's money seems to be given to you for nothing!"

When Feng Bao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hastily argued:
"Your Majesty misunderstood, all the banknotes sent by Mr. Ma are here... Now the treasury is empty, and the servants dare not move a cent..."

Xiao Cheng looked at Feng Bao who was about to kneel before him, shook his head and said:
"You, you are too cautious! You have to ponder over every word I say... I am short of a lot of money, but 3000 taels are not short. You take this silver ticket back, and it is my reward! I am not a mean and ungrateful person." , there is no shortage of your rewards!"

Hearing this, Feng Bao calmly stopped his justification, then subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knelt down on the ground, and said gratefully:
"Your Majesty's grace is immense, and this servant is grateful!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, asked Feng Bao to stand up, and said:

"Yang Xuanyan's connection with the three families has also contributed a lot to stabilizing the court. It was not easy to reward him before, so it is a chance to take his daughter into the palace!"

"Tomorrow, the decree will be made that the four daughters of the Yang family will enter the palace and take the throne of Zhaoyi. Yang Xuanyan will be granted the title of Marquis of Anning Ting, and give food to [-] households in the town."

When Feng Bao heard the words, when he bowed his head to make the promise, his heart suddenly moved, and then he showed a look of embarrassment, and said:

"Your Majesty, it's not that the servants are just avoiding laziness. In fact, the servants have to rectify the order and regulations in the palace, and are also responsible for the affairs of the sticky poles. Now they are also responsible for picking up the girl from the Yang family into the palace. They are really too busy..."

Xiao Cheng paused in his hands, glanced at Feng Bao, chuckled lightly, nodded and said:
"It's my negligence. It's okay. From now on, the sticky pole will be responsible for assassination and guarding, and I will hand it over to Director Guo Xie. You separate the people in the sticky stick in the palace and form an organization that is responsible for collecting intelligence. Name I have already thought about it, so I will call it Dongji Incident Factory!"

Now, the sticky pole has many responsibilities including assassination, arrest, and intelligence, and his body is unavoidably a bit bloated.If you don't care about it all the time, I'm afraid the efficiency will be too low in the future.

Feng Bao was cautious, and he proposed it at this time because he was worried that there would be too much blood and blood in the future.

In comparison, Dongchang specializes in espionage and is the eyes of the emperor.It will not be contaminated with too many dirty things, and it will be trusted by the emperor. It is too good to be in a better position.

Feng Bao was overjoyed, and immediately bowed and said:
"Slave, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, looked at Feng Bao, and said with deep meaning:
"From now on, you must pay attention to the background of the court ministers... Do you understand what I mean?"

Nearly one million taels of soft rice can solve urgent needs.But if you want to fill the treasury, ransacking your home is a good strategy!
