Snow Chihiro

==================

At this moment, the frontier express report finally arrived in the capital, and Dongfang Xi hadn't agreed on the final strategy to put down Annan, when the Mongolian cavalry moved, causing the courtiers to boil again.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, although the imperial court has been cultivating health and rest for several years, its military strength has been reduced, and it is not enough to support the three parties to fight together!"

"My lord! The season has been bad in the past two years, the treasury is not full, and the food and grass are not enough. If there is a war between multiple parties, I am afraid that the rear will be hard to support!"

"Your Highness, the Mongolian cavalry has always been brave, and now they are attacking with 20 troops. I am afraid that the soldiers and horses stationed in the frontier..."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the defense line on the west side cannot be moved, and now Waci is crippled and fleeing. If the defenders decrease, there will be more disputes on this line of defense, and it will be even more difficult for me to deal with..."

Holy, holy, holy!Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers, soldiers!Fire, fire, fire!Grain, Grain, Grain!

It was the first time that Dongfang Xi felt a headache from being quarreled by these ministers, but the little emperor was full of enthusiasm, pointing and cursing at the ministers who advocated peace talks one by one.He has always read too many stories, and he is worried that there will be no battles to fight. He can't make himself an emperor through the ages like his ancestors. Interested?Although Dongfang Xi knew that he was messing around, he did not stop him. Now that the war is raging in many directions, it is obvious that someone is manipulating it behind the scenes. If this is the case, it is absolutely impossible to negotiate a peace. But still will not stop attacking you mercifully, on the contrary, those who are interested in the government will use this to make some troubles among the common people.

A war must be fought, but the real problems behind it cannot be ignored. Not to mention the lack of troops now, the three armies have not mobilized food and grass first, and the treasury is more than enough in a peaceful and prosperous age. If it encounters a war of this scale, it will be stretched.In addition, what shocked her even more was that Taixu Palace and Fengbu were so slow in reporting such a big event. There was a reason for Taixu Palace to be slower. Most of it is placed on bureaucrats everywhere, but Fengbu...she frowned, she didn't want to doubt the person who recognized her and brought her back to the palace and has been close to assist her, but now...

"Not eight."

"Subordinates are here."

"Order Fengbu and Jinyiwei to strictly investigate the changes in the four directions. This time they are so passive, the second department should bear their responsibility."

Wei Ba bowed, "This subordinate takes orders." She bowed her head and retreated slowly, Dongfang Xi also stood up, opened the bead curtain and said loudly: "Foreign races invade, how can our great country bow its head and admit defeat? Now that many parties are fighting together, it is inevitable that there will be collusion in private. Even if you endure shame and ask for peace, it will be difficult to survive. In the past, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were commanded to restore the Central Plains, but now we want to shame our ancestors? You don’t need to discuss any more , The Ministry of War draws up a battle plan and submits it to the cabinet for approval, and the six ministries will each fulfill their responsibilities!" The decision she said made no one below refute for a while, and the little emperor was overjoyed immediately, and shouted: "Don't you still do what the emperor said? He looked at Dongfang Xi with great interest, but saw that Dongfang Xi was exhausted, he hesitated for a moment and didn't say the words of Yu Jia's personal conquest, and said softly: "Miss Huang is tired, go back and rest first."

Dongfang Xi looked at his serious appearance, nodded lightly, "Go back to the palace."

Going back to his own palace, he walked straight into the sleeping hall, inside the gauze tent was full of candles, a small figure was huddled inside, lying on the couch with his head propped up, thinking about something.Seeing this scene, Dongfang Xi's irritability faded a lot, and he smiled and closed the door gently.The person inside seemed to be aware of it, his shoulders trembled, his hands moved lightly, he crumpled the note into a small ball and popped it into his sleeve, he got up and opened the curtain and said, "You're back."

Dongfang Xi handed the cloak on her body to the maids on the side, and waved them to step back. She rubbed her hands gently and put them on the bed. She put her hand into Su Yin's neck, causing Su Yin to shrink her neck and give her a sideways glance. , pulled out his hands and put them in his belly to warm them up. This shy look made Dongfang Xi move his index finger, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and his hands became disheveled.Su Yin quickly held her down, and snorted: "You don't want to read those letter folders when you come back today, are you in a good mood?" Dongfang Xi leaned close to her neck and took a deep breath, then leaned his head there, and said in a muffled voice: " I was in a bad mood, so I didn’t intend to watch it.”

Su Yin's heart sank when she heard her tone, and she stretched out her arms to embrace her. This person has never been so tired and lonely since he met him. His eyebrows and eyes should always be fierce, and his voice should always be calm and powerful. Su Yin also thought about when she would see her weak side and when she would let herself be her reliance, but now that she really saw her, she felt so shy and wished that she would be wanton and high-spirited for the rest of her life. "But for the war?"

Dongfang Xi sat up, looked at her strangely, reached out and rubbed her head, "When did my little Yiner know to worry about this?"

Su Yin pursed her lips and said displeasedly: "You dangle those things in front of my eyes every day, how can I not know at all?" She grabbed Dongfang Xi's finger and bit it lightly. Xi laughed, and said ambiguously: "If you bite it, you can't use it."

Su Yin blushed and spat at her, then changed the topic, and asked again: "What are you worried about now, is food and grass?"

"I have a lot of things to worry about, but this is the most important thing right now." Dongfang Xi didn't want to talk about it any more, so he opened his arms and took Su Yin into his arms, teasingly said: "But if you talk about the most important thing, Yes, that's because I'm hungry myself, and I'm going to eat you now~" She squinted her eyes in a terrified look, Su Yin trembled when her fingers touched her, and before she could refuse, she was pushed down and blocked shouted.After some cloud and rain, the girl poked her head out and bit Dongfang Xi's shoulder hard, and said in a waxy voice, "I want to be on top."

"What?" Dongfang Xi narrowed his eyes, and turned his attention back to the affairs of state. Suddenly, he heard Su Yin's words, and looked at her with a half-smile: "What did Yin'er say?"

Su Yin pouted, and mustered up her courage to say, "I want to be on top!"

Dongfang Xi gave a smirk, and readily agreed: "Okay!" She gently pulled Su Yin, and the desire was hidden in her slow voice, "That's right up there."

"Hey, hey, that's not it! Hey, uh..."

——————————— shy dividing line ————————————

"That's what I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Trayali Heaven. He taught the Dharma for his mother, and then there were immeasurable worlds in the ten directions. You can't say it, you can't say it. All the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas will come to gather..."

Dongfang Li sat cross-legged opposite the old monk, but his mind was not on the scriptures that the other side recited softly.Xu Shi really didn't have a connection with Buddhism, although the old monk's voice was low, but every sentence caught her ears, but it couldn't touch her heart.She has recited this Ksitigarbha Sutra over and over again, and she has been sitting here for two hours, and she doesn't talk too much when the old monk doesn't stop, she just gets lost in thoughts.

"All come back to pay homage, put your palms together and retreat." The old monk's voice faded away, he did not continue to chant, and put his palms together.Seeing him stop, Dongfang Li learned to put his palms together in a proper manner, since he had to bow his head since he wanted something from others, as long as the monk is willing to teach the Yi Jin Jing, not to mention the Buddha, even if he believes in himself.

"Master, how is it?"

"The crime of the benefactor's killing is too heavy, and it cannot be solved by the poor monk." The monk sighed and shook his head. It’s hard to get over it.”

Dongfang Lidao: "People live in the present, but they only want to live in this life, and so on in the afterlife. It is okay to inherit the results. The cause of the past, the result of the future, is a Buddhist principle passed down from generation to generation, so no external interference is necessary."

"What the benefactor said is the wish in his heart, but since the poor monk chooses to practice, it is impossible to save him without saving. If he saves, he will do good, and even if he does, he will do evil."

Dongfang Li said helplessly after hearing the words: "Master, do you want to save me?"

The old monk Heshi said, "Since the benefactor and the benefactor Xue are bound together, their fate is one. If they are saved, they must be saved together. If they are not saved, they will not be saved together."

Dongfang Li raised his brows, thinking that this eminent monk is playing tricks on him.But this sentence really took her to death, Dongfang Li hated secretly in his heart, but lowered his eyes: "Master, please save me."

The old monk still had no joy or sorrow, "Will the benefactor stay here for a month?"

"Since the master said that we want to spend together, then I will trouble you to spend my beloved wife together. If the master has no objection, the junior will go back to pick her up tonight." Dongfang Li returned the same way to him, and threw the problem away. went back.

"Amitabha, the backyard of Shaolin does not welcome female guests."

"That's okay." Dongfang Li stood up suddenly, and said indifferently: "Saving people and doing good deeds is not far away. Since the master is so merciful, you might as well go with the junior." She stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, the old monk Not long after hesitating, he raised his head and responded, "Okay."
