Chapter Seventy-Four: Retreat as Advance
As soon as he heard Yelu Yanxi reproach himself for obstructing the Yanyun Concession's proposal, Xiao Fengxian immediately knelt down and cried: "The Yanyun Concession Proposal is of course important - Ranchen's brother Baoxian is loyal to Banzai, how can he not repay his revenge?" ”
Xiao Fengxian's younger brother Xiao Baoxian died at the beginning of the year in the seat left behind in Tokyo, and Cheng Wanli had already explained to Xiao Fengxian - Wu Yong, the first evil wisdom and multistar who harmed Xiao Baoxian, had already parted ways with Liangshan, and had nothing to do with the current Chinese Federation, and that Wu Yong had changed his name to Yan Zongyong, and completely plunged into the arms of the Jin State. If Xiao Feng wants to seek revenge on this guy first, the Chinese Federation will not only not obstruct it, but will also be willing to help if possible.
Xiao Fengxian is very willing to believe Cheng Wanli's explanation, of course, this proves that Xiao Daren's general knowledge is not on the face of a bunch of gold and silver treasures. Xiao Baoxian is already dead, and the water spilled by his dead brother is useless to trace back to the source, so it is better to keep pace with the times, get some benefits back, and be more decent when setting sacrifices to the dead at four o'clock.
The benefits of the Chinese Federation have been embraced, and now it's time to hug Yelu Yanxi's side, so Xiao Fengxian let out a cry, crying sincerely, and was overwhelmed with grief, and couldn't help but sigh that you Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but sigh: "It can be extremely brotherly, and it must be extremely righteous to the monarch and the minister-Xiao Aiqing, the minister of the real widow!" ”
Xiao Fengxian is good at figuring out his intentions, and he has already identified Yelu Yanxi's pulse, knowing that he always has a sense of guilt for Xiao Baoxian's death - if it weren't for him, the emperor, who sent Xiao Baoxian to sit in Liaodong, Xiao Baoxian would not have died - so Yelu Yanxi always felt ashamed of the queen Xiao Duoli, the concubine Xiao Guige and the uncle Xiao Fengxian. Emperor Tianzuo's psychology can be used well.
Crying in front of his superiors, this is also a kind of ability, Xiao Fengxian's ability has long been hammered and forged, and compared with him, those officials who put on a show in later generations are grandchildren, and they can't be regarded as grandchildren.
Yelu Yanxi silently picked up Xiao Fengxian, and it was okay for the emperor to salute a courtier to such an extent. At this time, Xiao Fengxian didn't dare to take it anymore, so he accepted it when he saw it, and got up with the trend, sobbing and choking, while secretly looking at Yelu Yanxi's face.
I heard Yelu Yanxi sigh: "Xiao Aiqing, people can't be resurrected after death, and Aiqing shouldn't be too sad." I also know that you are heartbroken and died first, so you were obstructed between Yan Yun, and this move was just out of a moment of vomiting, not because of the original intention of abolishing the public. Today, the widow wants Aiqing to change his mind, so let's make a deal! ”
The emperor even put a high hat on himself, and if he didn't follow, he would not be a loyal minister. So Xiao Feng wiped a handful of snot and tears, and said with a choked aftermath: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the king who knows me are also the kings - but I don't know what my lord wants to do with the ministers?" But if the minister has it, it is to devote his family to filial piety, and it should be, do you still need to live my lord to make a 'buy' word? ”
Yelu Yanxi smiled when he heard this: "Qing does not live up to me, I live up to Qing - today's privy chief of the North and South Courts - Yelu Dabei Nu, Ma Renwang, Xiao Chara, Chai Yi, Wu Yong - the five elders are more than 400 years old, the north rejects the Jurchens, the south worries about the West Gate, sleeps at night, and works hard, which is not the way to support the elderly and respect the virtuous. Therefore, the widow wants to invite the five elders to the office, Xiao Aiqing you re-take charge of the cardinal, Aiqing has the ability to know people and be good at work, and the North and South Privy Councils are in charge of you, and you will get the solidity of Jincheng soup pool, and the widow is hunting for ten years, and he will also go to be stable. ”
Xiao Fengxian heard it, it is really a blessing to come down now, the disaster is not just a night ago, it seems that it is quite beneficial to die a younger brother occasionally! As soon as Emperor Tianzuo made this deal, he not only reinstated himself as the privy envoy of the Northern Court, but from then on, he was above 10,000 people under one person, and listened to Yelu Yanxi's meaning, he could install private individuals in the North and South Privy Councils at will! Hey! As long as he is in charge of the power center of the Liao State, what is the reason for only seeing Yelu?
However, although Xiao Fengxian's heart was overjoyed, his face showed a look of sincere fear, and he said again: "How can you be responsible for such a heavy responsibility?" I beg my lord to live again to find good men, and then choose virtuous ministers. ”
Yelu Yanxi said categorically: "Xiao Aiqing, you are a good man and a virtuous minister, where is there a second one?" ”
Xiao Fengxian's tears burst out of his eyes again, and he kowtowed at the moment: "By the grace of the lord, Weichen dares not to repay him with death?" ”
Yelu Yanxi laughed and pulled Xiao Feng up first, and then said, "That being the case, what about the Yanyun Concession?" ”
Xiao Fengxian thought to himself: "It's an opportunity!" At the moment, he generously stated: "Since Weichen has been favored by my lord, how dare he lose a big one because of a small loss and abolish the public with his own interests, and the proposal of Yanyun Concession is like the discussion of the ministers!" ”
Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed and nodded: "Okay!" ”
Xiao Fengxian turned around again: "But-"
Now Yelu Yanxi's face pulled up again: "But what? ”
Xiao Fengxian said: "However, Weichen is favored by my lord, and ten thousand deaths are not enough to repay him, the matter of Yanyun Concession is a foregone conclusion, and Weichen should do his best and be diligent in the king's affairs!" Therefore, here we ask my lord for a will--I ask my lord to send me as an envoy to the Southern Dynasty to preside over the concession of the Daimyo's Mansion! ”
As soon as these words came out, Yelu Yanxi's eyes widened: "I can't imagine that Xiao Aiqing, you have such a liver and gallbladder?!" ”
Xiao Fengxian has good money, good goods and good enjoyment, and is famous in Daliao. Unexpectedly, he was willing to volunteer today, and resolutely decided to go deep into a foreign country and be a lonely city guard!
Yelu Yanxi looked Xiao Fengxian up and down again-couldn't it be that he forced him to abandon his brother's personal enmity and agree to Yan Yun's proposal, and as a result, Xiao Fengxian was forced out of trouble, right?
Of course, Xiao Fengxian will not have any problems, the reason why he dared to go to the Daimyo's Mansion was because Cheng Wanli had already reassured him.
"Lord Xiao can have a good show with the lower officials, but he insists on not agreeing with the proposal of the Yanyun Concession, and the emperor of your country will inevitably appease you. Even if the emperor of your country didn't think of this festival for a while, he just asked the queen mother and the concubine to say something in the middle, and this matter is easy to hear! ”
Sure enough, as expected, in order to marry the Chinese Federation, Yelu Yanxi couldn't wait to finish the concession immediately, and Xiao Feng was reinstated, needless to say, the power in his hands has increased, and there is no need for two girls to blow the pillow wind.
That day, Cheng Wanli also said: "Lord Xiao is a dragon and phoenix, the pillar of the country, but the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and ancient and modern common sense is also!" During the Spring and Autumn Jin Dynasty, Shen Sheng lived inside and died, and Chong'er lived outside and was peaceful, if Lord Xiao wanted to keep his wealth and wealth all the time, why not use the privy body of the Northern Court to govern the government of the Daimyo Concession? At that time, the queen's concubine lived in the big house, often the eyes and ears of the king; Lord Xiao guards the Daimyo Concession, and has an agreement with the Chinese Federation, responding to the outside, so that the inside and the outside should cooperate, and help Prince Qin to control the situation, and in a few years, the big thing can be decided! ”
Hearing this at that time, Xiao Fengxian couldn't help but feel a burst of tinnitus and heartbeat. He thought to himself, he was greedy for half his life, accumulated countless wealth, and his children and grandchildren could not eat, drink and enjoy inexhaustibly, but if the political situation changed, whether it was the Jin King Yelu Ao Lu Hu coming to power, or the Qin King Yelu Ding ascending the throne, his ending would be a little bad. Although the king of Jin was lenient, he was too hated by Yelu, and although he could not escape death at that time, he was afraid that he would spare the lives of his whole family; Although King Ye Luding of Qin is his dearest nephew, but the power is the most charming, in the end, take his own head to stabilize people's hearts, copy his own home to enrich the country, do such a thing, his own nephew has this to be decisive!
The wolf and the tiger are in a dilemma, so it is better to get out of the way, just as the envoy of the Southern Dynasty said -- the layout of the DPRK and the central government, and the plot outside the territory!
As long as he leaves the whirlpool of power in Shangjing, there will be indescribable benefits. Just like when a group of tigers fight, a tiger leaves alone, but this tiger is not defeated and leaves, but just waits in the dangerous place of the mountain and forest, waiting for the time! Among the tigers, there is often a whistling sound correspondingly, the trend of the tigers is vivid, and my momentum, how can the tigers understand? When the strength is cultivated, the majestic wind comes out of the stream, and all the beasts are terrified!
The king of Jin and the king of Qin competed with each other, and their own victory was happy, and they were unharmed if they were defeated. If the king of Jin ascends the throne, his people will be lenient and benevolent, and they may not be wiped out, even if the old enemy Yelu Yujian has the heart to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but as the southern envoy said, the two sisters are inside, they are outside, and there is the Chinese Federation as the aid, echoing each other, Yelu Yujian may not dare to make a slight move; If his nephew succeeds to the throne, even if he has the heart to get rid of himself, but he sits in the daimyo concession and cultivates a strong position, what can the nephew do to himself? In the end, I have to envelop myself!
It is a matter of his own net worth and life, Xiao Fengxian is thoughtful everywhere. At that time, I suddenly remembered something, and asked Cheng Wanli: "Although troops can be stationed in the concession, but the military power is not in my hands, if I don't have military power, even if I sit in the concession, I am just a hard-to-fly bird in a golden wire cage." If there are three long and two short, there is no need to mobilize the troops to capture me, but only the garrison in the concession moves, and I am just a helpless life--what can I do? ”
Cheng Wanli laughed and said, "Lord Xiao, don't forget, in the concession, you must abide by the law. Although the Daimyo is a Liao State Concession, the Liao soldiers stationed in it are not allowed to fight the grass valley and disturb the laws of the Chinese Federation. If you don't threw grass and grain, where will the food come from? At this time, Lord Ruoxiao stepped forward and came to the ...... with the demeanor of Meng Weijun, the prince of the Warring States Period."
Hearing this, Xiao Fengxian's eyes lit up suddenly! If you can subtly turn the garrison in the Daimyo Concession into your own private army...... The benefits are unimaginable!
Xiao Fengxian, who is not short of money, finally has an iron heart, and he must get the remaining position in the Daimyo Concession! No matter the cost! This is exactly what it is:
The rain of tears blinded the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and the wind blew the hearts of the ministers. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
