Dong Sheng opened his mouth, paused, and then said in a low voice: "The imperial court cut the salaries of the Yanbei Army, and then planned to send people to cause riots within the Yanbei Army and cause public anger, just to shake the morale of the army and provoke incidents, so as to take the opportunity to achieve the goal of reducing the combat effectiveness of the Yanbei Army. The Yanbei Army has always been a problem in the imperial court, and the Yan clan believes that after more than ten years of operation, the current situation in the DPRK and China has stabilized, and the time is ripe to weaken the Xiao family. ”

Xiao Jingxi smiled, and caress the rim of the blue and white tea bowl a little carelessly: "If I'm not mistaken, your master's surname is Li, right?" ”

Dong Sheng nodded and did not change his face: "What the son said is right, the small master's surname is Li, but he is not surnamed Yan, and the small master wants to live more." If the Yanbei army is defeated by the court controlled by the Yan family, then the first person to suffer from it is the small master. Therefore, the small one wants the Yanbei army to be stronger than anyone else. ”

The corners of Xiao Jingxi's mouth pursed a smile of unknown meaning, and his voice was low and beautiful: "Which of you asked your master to say this?" ”

Dongsheng bowed his head and was silent.

Xiao Jingxi didn't care either, and said softly with a smile: "Since ancient times, the monarch wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die. Otherwise, your master would not have avoided Yanbei back then. If the imperial court wants to disarm, Yanbei can only follow the king's will. ”

Xiao Jingxi naturally didn't believe half a word when he said this, so he said in a deep voice: "But the generals are not subject to foreign military orders, does Yanbei still want to repeat the catastrophe decades ago?" Although the small one is not talented, he also knows that although the Liao people have been driven out of Yanbei by the Yanbei Army for decades, they are still eyeing the people and always thinking about making a comeback, and there are Dangxiang clans on the northwest border to disturb the people's peace. If there is no Yanbei Army in Yanbei, what will happen to the people of Yanbei? As in the past, under the iron riding of the Liao people, he was hungry and panting, and he was not as good as pigs and dogs? Therefore, the Yanbei army cannot be defeated and must not retreat. ”

Xiao Jingxi then focused his attention on Dong Sheng's body, looked at him seriously, and suddenly smiled: "Then what can you do to solve the imperial court's disarmament order against Yanbei?" ”

Hearing this, Dong Sheng glanced at the little servant standing next to Xiao Jingxi.

Tonghe didn't wait for Xiao Jingxi's order, so he bowed his head and retreated, and closed the door.

Xiao Jingxi looked at Dongsheng gently, smiling and waiting for him to continue.

Dong Sheng said: "The master likes to listen to the play, and the little ones will sing a few words." I remember that there was a drama that sang 'Ming Xiu Plank Road.' The Story of 'Secretly Crossing Chen Cang'"

Xiao Jingxi sat on the top, his deep eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't speak.

"The little Zhilu Dao, the current Ningxia general soldier Wu Xiaohe is the brother-in-law of the king of Yanbei, when the old king of Yanbei asked the county lord to marry the Wu family, maybe there is also the meaning of letting the Xiao and Wu families help each other at a critical moment. Therefore, if one day the imperial court wants to order disarmament, the most likely thing for the Yanbei Royal Mansion to do is to find a way to transfer part of the Yanbei army to Ningxia. In order to distract the attention of the imperial court and preserve the strength of the Yanbei army. ”

The surprise in Xiao Jingxi's eyes flashed when he heard this. This was a move arranged by the late old King Yanbei when he was alive, although he didn't think so, but his father agreed.

But how did the person in front of him guess it?

When King Xian was assigned to Yanbei that year, the people around him had been checked by the Yanbei Palace. Therefore, Xiao Jingxi knows that the troupe that is now dedicated to the king is actually a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

However, because there is no conflict of interest between King Xian and Yanbei Wangfu. Those people couldn't set off any big storms, and the Yanbei Wangfu also turned a blind eye. And at that time, his grandfather thought that Xianwang's stay in Yanbei might not be useless for them in the future.

Even so, both the king and the prince are idle sons without dispute. Even if this idleness was just an appearance, he didn't think they could guess the layout of the old Yanbei King.

The sound of the rain outside became more and more urgent, but the interior was quiet and dreary.

Dongsheng's voice gradually became calm and confident: "But the little one doesn't think it's a good idea." Only what is in your hands is your own, and if you change your hand, you will change your surname, and this is the truth since ancient times. To put it mildly, Wu Xiaohe is even the son-in-law of Yanbei Wangfu, but he is not surnamed Xiao, and the relationship between the Xiao family and the Wu family is good. In the end, it was impossible to resist the word 'profit'. After a long time, who can tell? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Wu family and the Xiao family have been advancing and retreating together. The Wu family has always looked at the Xiao family, but what if the Wu family can't help themselves? Although the military position of our dynasty can be hereditary, Wu Xiaohe's position as the chief soldier is inherited from his father Wu Houchun. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people also have good and bad luck. Hereditary status does not mean that it will always be impregnable. Rather than pinning your hopes on your allies, you should take your strength into your own hands. ”

Xiao Jingxi's eyes were unpredictable with a touch of deep meaning, but there was still a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't speak or express his position.

Dongsheng secretly looked at Xiao Jingxi's expression when he said this, but he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

At this time, a gust of wind blew in through the open window, bringing moist moisture, Xiao Jingxi frowned and coughed lightly.

Dongsheng found that even if the young man in front of him was coughing, he had a casual and elegant demeanor that ordinary people did not have.

Only then did he remember that the second young master of the Xiao family had always been in poor health, and the last time he left Beijing, he heard that he was sick and about to die. Although my health has improved a lot since I came back a year ago, I still need to recuperate from time to time.

But Dong Sheng seemed to have forgotten that he was a patient since he came in and saw him, Xiao Jingxi had an indescribable look, which could attract all people's attention, so that others could ignore his weakness and only see his beauty.

At this time, Dongsheng looked at him and realized that Xiao Jingxi's appearance was really outstanding, but it was not as "stunning" as the world said, but he raised his hand and moved, his eyes, and the unique rhythm of Xiao Jingxi exuded by his voice and tone was the reason why people couldn't leave their eyes.

Dong Sheng looked at it in a daze for a while before coming back to his senses, and couldn't help but look away with some embarrassment, secretly scolding himself for being stunned.

Although Xiao Jingxi is excellent, it is the kind of excellence that belongs to men, and he is sure that he does not have any quirks, so Dongsheng is a little depressed about the fact that he is stunned by a man.

Xiao Jingxi coughed for a while, and the little guy named Tonghe who was waiting outside hurriedly asked through the door, "Childe, do you want the little one to come in and serve?" ”

Xiao Jingxi's coughing gradually subsided, he took the handkerchief, and said lightly: "No need. ”

There was no sound outside.

Seeing that the window was still open, Dongsheng couldn't help but say, "I'll help you close the window, right?" Rain is blowing in. ”

Xiao Jingxi looked out the window with an indifferent and peaceful expression, his eyes were as quiet as deep water, and he shook his head with a smile: "No need, it's even more uncomfortable to be stuffy." ”

Dongsheng went back and stood up.

Xiao Jingxi turned his gaze to him again, and said gently: "I'm sorry, you continue." ”

Dong Sheng thought for a while, and then continued: "So the little one thinks that Yanbei's army can only exert its greatest power and role if it stays in Yanbei. Dividing it up is an extremely risky move. ”

Xiao Jingxi looked at He Dongsheng and smiled quietly: "Maybe what you said is right, but I still say that the king's order cannot be violated." ”

Dong Sheng thought for a while and said bluntly: "Does Gongzi mean that Yanbei has no plans to confront the imperial court head-on for the time being?" This sentence is extremely straightforward, exposing Xiao Jingxi's high-sounding reasons thoroughly.

Xiao Jingxi was not angry, and smiled silently.

Dongsheng also smiled and said, "This is the purpose of the little one who came to see Gongzi today." Although the little one wants to ask the son to protect the little one, the little one will not receive your favor in vain. It's the same as eating money. ”

Xiao Jingxi chuckled lightly, his voice was still low and hoarse: "You might as well say it, if you can move me, I will ensure that you and your master are safe and sound." ”

His tone was kind and casual, like a joke, but it gave people a sense of reassurance.

Dongsheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, he had naturally heard of Xiao Jingxi, but he would never break his promise, and he had the style of a gentleman.

He grinded for a long time, just to listen to his promise.

So Dongsheng said without hesitation: "Gongzi is right, the imperial court wants to be disarmed, and Yanbei should not resist it hard." Otherwise, they will stand on the opposite side of those scholars in the world who talk about etiquette, righteousness and shame all day long. Although the scholars rebelled for three years, no one could resist these scholars together. So Yanbei should follow the trend. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Jingxi to ask, Dong Sheng said consciously: "Son, who do you think is the richest person in our Yanbei now?" ”

Xiao Jingxi was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Dong Sheng said with a smile: "The little one thinks it's not the Su family, the Ren family, the Lin family, and the Yun family...... And so on any family, but ......"

Dongsheng said and pointed to the ground under his feet, and then to the sky.

"It's the pure place of this Buddha. The common people often say that the wealth in the world is ten, and the Buddha accounts for seven points. ”

Xiao Jingxi tilted his head slightly and thought about it, and smiled slightly, obviously he didn't object to this statement.

"There are about 800 large and small temples in the entire Yanbei, and taking this Bailong Temple as an example, the land recorded in its name, the donated land of pilgrims and believers, and the reclaimed wasteland that has not been reported can support at least two or three thousand people every year, not including other income. And there are about 20 temples in Yanbei that are the same size as the White Dragon Temple. ”
