Once the war began, the entire Dingxiang would be under the control of Ashina Simo.

The Eastern Turkic Khan, who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, was deeply trusted and relied on by the emperor, and all the troops in northern Xinjiang would be controlled by Ashina Simo, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would cover the sky with one hand. And Xiao Siye, as a child of the Xiao family, if Ashina Simo took the opportunity to vent his anger, it would be logical.

Killing someone on the battlefield can be listed casually, but even Xiao Yu can't redress his grievances......

Xiao Rui said: "Father, don't worry, then Ashina Simo is now as docile as a sheep, lest he make a mistake and be impeached by the imperial history, and then be severely punished by His Majesty, how dare he murder the heir in front of the two armies?" Not only did he not dare, but he had to protect the life of the heir, otherwise once the heir had three longs and two shorts, he would not be able to say clearly! Moreover, the heir to stay in Chang'an is really too much of a hidden danger, in case of a conflict with Fang Jun and a grudge, how can my Xiao family deal with themselves? ”

This sentence is the key.

If this kind of thing really happens, how will the Xiao family deal with it?

If you favor Fang Jun, the outside world will inevitably say that the Xiao family is indifferent, and if you favor Xiao Siye, you will inevitably have an enmity with Fang Jun......

Xiao Yu finally nodded: "That's fine, the children of the family are clothed and fed, and it is difficult to survive the wind and rain, so let him go to Northern Xinjiang to polish his life, and he can also become the arm of the head of the family in the future." This matter is up to you to tell the heir, for the husband is a little dizzy, take a break. ”

Xiao Rui quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out......

*****

Snow.

The white snowflakes fell, covering the garden of Song Guogong, and the beauty and delicacy of the past were a little more desolate and desolate.

More than a dozen plum blossoms bloom in the wind, and the pale pink buds are swaying in the snowflakes, and the dark fragrance is thick.

A pavilion beside the plum tree, the servants have been surrounded by silk to shield from the wind and snow, a small red clay stove is lit in the pavilion, the charcoal is burning, the light blue flame licks the bottom of a copper kettle, and the spring water in the pot is boiling and boiling.

There was a stone table in the pavilion, and at this moment, with a thick cushion, Xiao Rui and Xiao Siye sat opposite each other.

Xiao Rui personally held the pot, brewed tea, washed tea, a set of smooth and pleasant movements, a pot of fragrant tea soup was brewed, filled the teacup in front of Xiao Siye, and poured a cup himself, put the teapot on the tea tray, raised the teacup and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, taste my uncle's craftsmanship." ”

Xiao Siye smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but did not speak.

Xiao Rui himself also took a sip, tasted the sweetness, sighed lightly, and said: "This tea is produced in Shuzhong, since the rise of fried tea, the world has followed suit, and fried tea has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain." This tea is my family spent a huge amount of money to buy a mountain, carefully fried, the taste is also good, but compared to the Longjing, it is still more than a step behind, the sales volume is incomparable, and the price is even more different. The profit from this kind of tea is not as good as the profit of my shop selling Longjing......"

Xiao Siye held the teacup and realized: "I heard that Longjing tea is the property of the Fang family?" ”

Xiao Rui sighed: "Exactly, Fang Jun has endless whimsical ideas, but every seemingly outrageous idea can always make it come true and grab a lot of wealth." Longjing tea alone, it has made the Fang family earn millions of dollars, and it has become the best in tea. ”

Xiao Siye said: "Uncle's intention, the little nephew understands, if you don't get angry with that Fang Jun in the future, you can't afford to hide if you can't provoke it, and it will definitely not damage the interests of the family." ”

He was a little aggrieved.

He was jealous of Fang Jun and looked down on a gentleman who was on the rise, thinking that he would definitely surpass Fang Jun as long as he had the opportunity with his own ability, but he didn't want his family to be so deeply involved with him, not only the court needed his help, but even the economy and money were also quite dependent.

Although he has been in Dingxiang for many years, he also knows that an important factor in the maintenance of the family valve is a large amount of wealth and money, if it is because of his own reasons that the Xiao family has broken off the consignment qualification of Longjing tea, then he is the sinner of the family, and no one will treat him.

He thought that Xiao Rui put on such a posture to persuade himself to swallow his anger and not to argue with Fang Jun again......

Xiao Rui looked up at the snow powder flying outside the pavilion, stared at the clusters of plum blossoms on the branches, and said: "The plum blossoms are delicate, the cold is fragrant, the good talent is quenched, and it is refined into steel." As the sons of a family, we are born with noble clothes, but we often lack experience and tempering, and we have achieved nothing in our lives, becoming worthless silverfish. My father attaches great importance to you and thinks that you are the pillar of the future of the Xiao family. ”

At first, these words sounded full of affirmation and encouragement, Xiao Siye was secretly happy, a child like him who had not grown up in the family since childhood, most needed to be affirmed by the family, but after hearing it, it changed his taste......

This is a difficult task for yourself.

He asked, "What is my uncle's intention?" If so, please say so. Although Heiye was not at home when he was young, he was the bloodline of the Xiao family after all, as long as it was beneficial to the family, even if it was difficult to go to the soup and fire, and wait for idle things! ”

Xiao Rui stroked his palm and said: "What a good one to go to the soup and go to the fire, waiting for idle things!" This is the thousand-mile horse of my Xiao family, worthy of the blood of my Xiao family! Since the heir has this ambition, Uncle Wei said bluntly, at the moment, my Xiao family seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it is strong on the outside, and it is good to say above the court, there is a father and an uncle to support, but in the army, the foundation is shallow and there is no influence at all. The heir is now a force to be reckoned with in charge of tens of thousands of Turkic descendants, so why not return to Dingxiang and hold this force tightly in his hands, isn't it much better than nesting in Chang'an and coveting comfort? ”

Xiao Siye opened his mouth, looking confused.

I came back this time, because of my many years of meritorious service in appeasing the Turks, the emperor rewarded an official position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and the official position of the top noble, how did it become greedy for comfort?

Besides, can you go to that place now?

"Little nephew heard that His Majesty has sent Ashina Simo to Dingxiang to command the border army?"

"It is true."

"That ......" Xiao Siye's face darkened, and he said incredulously: "Uncle, my family has a grudge against Ashina Simo, and maybe the barbarians don't dare to do anything to my family in normal times, but Dingxiang is now that the war is imminent, Xue Yantuo's army is gathering and pressing step by step, and it is not good that the war will start one day, and when the time comes, Ashina Simo will inevitably harm my life!" ”

Xiao Rui said categorically: "How dare a thief!" Don't have a royal law yet? It is precisely because my family has a grudge against Ashina Simo that he does not dare to treat you as such, not only that, but he will also try his best to protect your thoughtfulness, otherwise people are terrible, isn't he a big loss because of a small thing? ”

Xiao Siye was speechless......

Who is Ashnasimo?

That is the nobles of the Eastern Turks, and they are the ones who are qualified to inherit the Eastern Turkic Khan!

As long as he lives, Datang is not afraid of the rebellion of the barbarians who settled in the Dingxiang generation in the Eastern Turks, not to mention killing him Xiao Siye for a small long history, even if he is a general in the army, he dares to kill!

That person is an unscrupulous guy at all, but he is also very smart, knowing that as long as he is loyal to the Tang Emperor and expresses his loyalty and submission all the time, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, the emperor will only smile and appease him!

As a result, Xiao Rui actually let himself go to Dingxiang to lead the Turkic people who are now led by Ashina Simo......

Isn't this pushing yourself to your death?

This Xiao Rui is so confused!

He hurriedly distinguished: "Uncle doesn't know, that Ashina Simo has a very high prestige among the Turkic descendants, and even if the little nephew goes, it is impossible for him to ......."

"Inheritance! What do you mean? ”

Xiao Rui's face sank, and he scolded: "As a child of the Xiao family, it is natural to cut through obstacles for the sake of the family, this is a matter of both glory and loss, how can you covet the prosperity of Chang'an and ignore the future of the family because of the bitter cold outside?" I am very disappointed in you! Needless to say, this matter is the decision of my father and me, the future of the family depends on you, where to go, you do it yourself! ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away angrily.

The tandoor in the pavilion is burning, the water vapor is curling, the tea is fragrant, the red plum blossoms outside the pavilion are blooming, and the snow is flying to welcome spring.

Xiao Siye sat in a daze, and his heart fell into the ice cellar.

What is my family's thousand-mile horse?

What is the family history?

This is going to send me to death......
