Fu Song

Chapter 373 A Transaction

Through the window lattice, looking into the small living room, Ye Luxian was leaning on the woman with a smile on his face, swallowing his snacks, hurrying all the way, this little guy might be very hungry.The woman smiled and took out her handkerchief, wiped some fine particles from the child's mouth, then lowered her head, and whispered something in the child's ear, and the child nodded repeatedly.

It seems that the relationship between the two is quite intimate.

Is this the daughter's arrangement?Let this woman get the child's approval in advance.

Xiao Siwen walked to the door, coughed lightly, and the two people in the room looked up at the same time.

The woman stood up, but the child seemed to be a little afraid, and hid behind the woman, only poking out a small head, and looked at the majestic old man with some curiosity.

"Xiao Chuo has met the Generalissimo!" Xiao Chuo's expression did not change at all, he smiled the same as before, bowed to Xiao Siwen and saluted.

Glancing at Xiao Chuo, Xiao Siwen didn't speak, just looked at the child, stretched out his hand to beckon, and said, "Xian'er, come to grandfather."

Ye Luxian looked at the other party, not only did not come over, but his hands gripped Xiao Chuo's sleeves tightly.

Xiao Chuo touched his head and said softly: "Xian'er, this is your grandfather, your mother's father, and your relatives!"

With Xiao Chuo's endorsement, Ye Luxian walked up to Xiao Siwen and looked up at him.

"Mother said that my grandfather is a great hero."

The little guy's eyeballs rolled around, as if the old man in front of him didn't quite match up with the hero in his own image.

Xiao Siwen laughed loudly, knelt down, tugged Ye Luxian's face affectionately, and said, "Can you ride a horse?"

"can!"

"Can you draw a bow?"

"Small bow, if it is bigger, you can practice a big bow."

"Enlightenment?"

"Ah."

Nodding in satisfaction, this kid really doesn't have stage fright, the previous performance was just because he was a stranger to him.Xiao Siwen's family knew about his family affairs, and a group of grandchildren in the family didn't dare to breathe in front of him. How could they cope with it as freely as this grandson.

"Your mother is waiting for you to talk inside, go in and have a chat with your mother." Xiao Siwen said softly.

"Oh!" Ye Luxian glanced at Xiao Chuo. "Auntie not going?"

"Grandfather wants to talk to you. I have something to ask your aunt. You go first, and your aunt will come after a while!" Xiao Siwen said.

After hearing this, Ye Luxian jumped up and down and followed a nun to the back.

Ye Luxian was not served in the small living room, it seemed to be cold all of a sudden, even the air seemed a little sticky, the smile on Xiao Chuo's face also faded little by little, replaced by a cold expression.

That gentle mask was for Ye Luxian, it was unnecessary in front of Xiao Siwen, and she was unwilling.It's just a deal.

Xiao Siwen sat down, pointed to the lower chair, and said, "Miss Xiao, please sit down."

Xiao Chuo nodded, sat down, and stared at Xiao Siwen.

The two sides were silent for a while, before Xiao Siwen said: "Miss Xiao, the Songshan Ten Thousand Pishi Army is actually ready to go. It was originally planned to set off tomorrow morning and go to the Red River Valley for a drill."

"I think this exercise should have been cancelled." Xiao Chuo said flatly.

"Did Lin Ping or Lu Jian give Yelujun the idea?"

"Is the Generalissimo talking about the person going to Xingqing Mansion?" Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "I came up with this idea. But I am a little curious, why doesn't the Generalissimo think that the King himself thought it up! Your Majesty is wise." Extraordinary, it is not unusual to have such an arrangement.”

Xiao Siwen shook his head: "I know Yelujun, in his position, he would never have come up with such a plan. I'm just curious, how did you convince him? You know, if he really died , with these arrangements, even if Daliao does not perish, it will still suffer a great deal of damage. From then on, it will no longer be able to confront Song, and even the Northwest King will be inferior. Given time, Daliao will perish."

"It's not difficult to convince him!" Xiao Chuo said leisurely: "A plan is just a plan, it doesn't necessarily have to be implemented, and there is a prerequisite for the implementation of this plan, that is, the death of the king. Look, now, the king will You don’t need to die. Generalissimo, your [-] elites, won’t you go out to practice? If you don’t go, Yeluxi, that trash, can you do anything to your majesty?”

Is Yeluxi just a waste in the eyes of this woman?

A stern look flashed in Xiao Siwen's eyes.

"Is it possible that Yelujun is not worried that he will really die? If he really dies and triggers this plan, then he is a sinner of Daliao, and he will have no face to see his ancestors after his death."

"I told him, if you are dead, you will be extinguished like a lamp, and the flood will be flooded behind him!" Xiao Chuo said: "Only if you survive and sit on the throne of the Daliao Emperor, can you realize your ambitions and be able to fulfill your dreams." Let your thoughts become reality. If you are dead, Yeluxi, that trash, will take the throne, and Daliao will still be wiped out by others in a short time, and the result will still be the same."

Xiao Siwen looked at Xiao Chuo in a daze: "After I die, who cares about the flood?"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Chuo looked at Xiao Siwen with a smile: "Whether you are Grand Marshal, Marshal Yelu Honghong or His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao, you probably wouldn't be happy to see Xiao Ding from the northwest come to the north?"

Xiao Siwen laughed dumbly.

"Xiao Qi!" He suddenly called out Xiao Chuo's real name.

"Xiao Ding is your real brother!" Xiao Siwen said: "I'm very curious, if I stand on your side, maybe I will try to trigger the implementation conditions of this plan, so that Xiao Ding can get the Nanjing Road Those Han families on the Nanjing Road knew that Yeluxi would not be tolerated, and they had a deep hatred with the Song people. If Yelujun was dead, they would go to Xiao Ding and welcome Xiao Ding to take the Nanjing Road. This is their best choice! "

"Too slow!" Xiao Chuo shook his head: "Too slow, I can't wait."

"What's too slow?" Xiao Siwen was a little puzzled.

"Mie Song!" Xiao Chuo said casually. "Xiao Ding is my eldest brother, but so what? He won the Nanjing Dao, and he will inevitably face a war with your Liao Kingdom. Song Kingdom will even unite with you to deal with him. Even if he wins again, but Next, how many years will it take to integrate and digest to form a joint force? How many years will it take to be able to go south? Maybe I won’t be able to avenge my parents until my hair is all gray.”

Xiao Siwen stared at Xiao Chuo, and said: "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. What's more, this is a war to destroy the country. Ten years is almost too late."

"I'm a girl. Didn't the sage say that it's hard to raise a girl and a villain? The revenge of a villain is never the same!" Xiao Chuo said. "The current Daliao is the strongest. If I want to take revenge as quickly as possible, naturally I have to come to Daliao."

Xiao Siwen laughed loudly: "This reason is reasonable."

He stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and said: "Xian'er will die soon, and Yelujun is only in his thirties this year."

"Thirty-five!" Xiao Chuo added.

"It must be a remarriage. The concubine must choose from the three tents of the Xiao family, but I, Xiao Siwen, have no suitable daughters. Xian'er chose you to be Xian'er's stepmother. It doesn't disgrace Xian'er either!"

Xiao Chuo is a scholar of Duanming Palace in the Great Song Dynasty and the daughter of Xiao Yu, the third envoy. Her eldest brother is now the Northwest King, and her second brother is a Jinshi. Her status, even in Daliao, is extremely noble.

"I am who I am, Yelujun values ​​me, not my elder brother and second brother!" Xiao Chuo said solemnly.

"There is no need to deny that Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng must be considered by Yelu Jun!" Xiao Siwen said: "It's just Xiao Chuo, what I want to know is, what will you use to win my trust, and will you assist Xian'er in the future? I can make you another daughter of mine, and make you the future empress of Daliao, but you and Yelujun are still very young, and you will definitely have many children in the future, but when I am old, my two My son isn't very successful, so it's okay to go to battle to kill the enemy. If the court is intriguing, that's the fate of being played by others. When the time comes, you turn your face and deny it, and try to help your own child. What can I do to you?"

Xiao Chuo shook his head slowly: "On this point, the Generalissimo can rest assured. Yelujun and I are indeed very young, but will we not have any more children?"

"Why?" Xiao Siwen was taken aback. "I never believe the words of empty teeth."

"Yelujun can't bear children anymore." Xiao Chuo's words made Xiao Siwen stunned.

"Why is this?"

"On the way to Bianliang, he encountered an assassination!" Xiao Chuo said: "Actually, he also encountered an innocent disaster. Originally, the assassin sent by King Jing wanted to kill the Taiwei Zhang Chao, but it happened that Zhang Chao and Yelujun was in the same place, he was caught in a catastrophe, although he was not in danger of life, he was still seriously injured. There is no need to talk about the issue of heirs from now on. The Generalissimo will find out about such things when he investigates in the future."

"There is such a thing!" Xiao Siwen was dumbfounded.

Yelujun was assassinated in the Song Dynasty, he naturally knew about it, because the assassination was quite strange, not only the assassins of King Jing, but also the assassins sent by Yeluxi, the two groups of people mixed together, killing indiscriminately. The goal was not met either.

"So, among his several sons now, only Yeluxian is the first son. I will replace my sister in the future. Instead of supporting Xian'er, I will support those boys whose mothers are still alive?"

"You are an ambitious woman!" Xiao Siwen sighed and said, "I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to let you enter the game, whether it is good or bad for Daliao?"

"In this regard, Yelujun is much better than you." Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "He always thinks he can control everyone."

"The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear!" Xiao Siwen snorted.

"However, wouldn't someone like me be better for your family's future glory and wealth? You are already in your fifties, right? And I'm not yet twenty, how many more years can you support the Xiao family? It's not up to me!"

"Hehe, hehehe!" Xiao Siwen laughed self-consciously. "Xiao Chuo, if Yelujun really comes to power, he will definitely suppress the North Court and support the South Court, because the South Court is his root. Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Generalissimo, do you know why the Han people on Nanjing Road have become more and more powerful over the years, crushing the Khitan people on Nanjing Road?"

"why?"

"Because all the Han people on Nanjing Road read books." Xiao Chuo said: "Readers know right from wrong, have rules in doing things, and follow rules in actions. This is one of them. From time to time, they have to confront Song people on the border. Back in [-], the Khitans on the Nanjing Road drove them to garrison the border all year round. Fighting against the Song people, fighting against the Khitan people, these Han families on the Nanjing Road have honed their bows and horses since they were young, and their martial arts are superb. Lu Ben'an, Lin Ping Are you familiar with everyone?"

Xiao Siwen nodded silently.

"The Han people on the Nanjing Road are now typical of civilized minds and barbaric bodies, while the Khitan people only have one of them, and that is barbaric bodies. So, how can they beat the Han people?" Xiao Chuo said : "Even in Shangjing Road, if you hadn't been unreasonably suppressing, the power of the Han people would have surpassed you long ago. But even so, the power of the Han family is still getting stronger every year, isn't it? ? The wrestling above the imperial court, you feel more and more powerless, don't you?"

Xiao Siwen was terrified.

"Civilization is its mind, barbarism is its body!" he murmured.

Xiao Chuo smiled and said, "Actually, my second elder brother said something better. I'm not afraid that hooligans will fight, but I'm afraid that hooligans are educated. Grand Marshal, the Han people in Liao Kingdom are like this now. They look down on Khitan people, because Khitan People are uneducated, and they look down on Song people, because Song people are soft-legged shrimps!"

Listening to such a summary, Xiao Siwen couldn't help laughing.

This time, he really laughed heartily.

"Your second brother is also interesting, and you have summed it up very well. In this way, even if Yelujun takes the stage, he will not favor the Han people!"

"Actually, you shouldn't think so at all!" Xiao Chuo said: "How can a mature emperor let his family dominate, and the two-phase check and balance is justified. The current Khitan nation is indeed weak. Some are not weak in the soldiers, nor in the people, but in the officials and the aristocrats. After the Grand Marshal, Yelujun arrives in the capital, he will definitely remove those who are dead and vegetarian, whether it is the court or the army. They all need an infusion of fresh blood."

Xiao Siwen clapped his hands, and outside the small study, Xiao Cheng entered in response.

"The king of Qishui County returned to the capital. The commander received information that there are bandits who want to do something wrong. You, lead a thousand elites, go to meet the king of the county." Xiao Siwen said.

Xiao Cheng looked at his father in astonishment, then turned his head to look at Xiao Chuo, blinked his eyes, but held back and didn't ask anything, just nodded emphatically.

"Generalissimo, the [-] people who escorted us are also brave and skilled fighters. We are now following the Generalissimo, safe and sound. Let these [-] people also go to see the world!" Xiao Chuo said.

"That's it!"
