Looking at the vague figure in the original place, when he could see it clearly through this so-called telescope, Xie Daoqing's face was full of incredulity and surprise, and his mouth was amazed, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Wow, what is this, why can you see the vague figure in the distance so clearly?" ”

I couldn't put it down, picked it up in front of me for a while, looked into the distance, and then put it down to look at Ye Qing, who was smiling and silent next to him, as if he had gotten a long-cherished toy, he held the telescope in his arms and continued to ask: "Why can it see far away?" ”

Without waiting for Ye Qing to answer, Xie Daoqing raised the telescope in his hand again, but this time in the direction of the Lonely Mountain Garden, the original vague scenery suddenly seemed to be pulled closer to the eyes, especially after passing through this telescope, it seemed to have a novel feeling, and even like a world.

"Because of the lenses in it, I can see farther away." Ye Qing snatched the telescope from Xie Daoqing's hand, and handed it back to Xu Han under his dissatisfied gaze.

Xie Daoqing obviously wanted to play with it, but at this time, the largest and most luxurious painting boat on the lake was also slowly approaching the shore at this moment, and Mu Huali, Shu Chi and Wo Kotai, as well as Qiu Chuji, who looked calm behind him, walked down from the painting boat.

The Mongols' outfit attracted the surprised glances of the people around them from time to time, and Mu Huali and the others were obviously used to the Lin'an people's sideways glances at them, and walked up to Ye Qing as if no one was around.

Facing the eagle-like sharp gaze of Xiao Chi, Xie Daoqing unconsciously leaned behind Ye Qing, although he didn't dare to look directly at Yu Chi's gaze, but because of Ye Qing beside him, Xie Daoqing raised his head slightly, and looked at the huge painting boat with a trace of unweakened momentum.

"King Yan is really punctual, I thought that the last general would have to wait here, so I ......." Mu Huali pointed to the painting boat behind him, and then said with a slight sigh: "It is said that the West Lake is beautiful, but now it seems that it is indeed a rumor, so I can't help but take a walk around the West Lake first." ”

"It's not the first time you've come to West Lake, are you?" Ye Qing glanced at Mu Huali with a smile, and then said as he took the lead in walking towards the painting boat, Xie Daoqing hurriedly followed behind Ye Qing, afraid that Ye Qing would leave her behind.

"I did come to the Great Khan once, but that time because I wanted to protect the Great Khan's thoughtfulness, whether it was the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, or the flower-like, weak and colorful woman of the Song Dynasty, I didn't see much of it." Mu Huali watched Ye Qing turn passive into active, and walked directly to the painting boat, so he had to turn around and follow forward.

When Ye Qing walked towards the painting boat, he snorted dissatisfiedly when he passed by Ye Qing, but Ye Qing didn't look at him at all, but when he passed by Wokotai, he nodded with a friendly smile.

Because of Shu Chi's short temper, whether it is Chagatai or Wokotai, or Tuo Lei, the three brothers are more calm and calm than the eldest brother of Shu Chi in terms of temperament and temperament, so this makes the three brothers think that Shu Chi is definitely not their own brother on weekdays.

Seeing that Xiao Chi showed a dissatisfied look at Ye Qing, Wo Kotai turned around, looked straight ahead and said lightly: "Don't lose your father's face here, the Song people have always been proud of the state of etiquette, don't let people think that the royal family of my Great Mongolia is so rude as a barbarian." ”

"I don't need you to worry about my affairs, you like these soft and weak women in Song Ting, that's your business. But don't forget, our Mongolian women are the most beautiful women in the world. So...... Don't let the Song people see your jokes! "Clearly, he meant something.

But Wokotai obviously didn't think that there was anything wrong with spending all day and wine after coming to Lin'an in the Song Dynasty, not to mention that these Song women did have a different taste in bed, which was completely different from the women on the grassland, so why not try it?

"If you don't have a deep understanding of the Song people, how can you conquer the Song people for your father and rob them of their wealth and women?" Wokotai didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the spending of the past few days.

But he also knows that it's not that she is not a bad woman, it's just that the two of them have different tastes.

Mu Huali had long been accustomed to the two of them sneering at each other from time to time, so he just changed the topic with a smile and said: "Ye Qing is not easy to deal with, even the Great Khan regards him as a great enemy in his life...... ”

"Is the woman next to him his wife?" Wo Kotai smiled as usual, and his expression was calm, as if it was not him who had just quarreled with Yu Chi.

"If you hadn't lingered in Song Ting's Qinglou, you wouldn't have asked such a stupid question." Xiao Chi replied with a gloomy face.

"It's not stupid, it's called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to be able to prescribe the right medicine." Wokotai's handsome face did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Yu Chi, and continued to smile: "What's more, now that we are in Lin'an in the Song Court, is it possible that the eldest brother still dares to do something to Ye Qing in the Song Court?" ”

Shu Chi glanced coldly at the hippie smiling face of Wo Kotai, he was also accustomed to such provocations, and after snorting, he walked towards the painting boat.

Wo Kotai looked at the back of Xiao Chi and sneered, and then followed Mu Huali and Qiu Chuji to the painting boat again.

As the eldest son of Temujin, in front of many brothers such as Chagatai and Ogedei, he always felt that he should show the majesty that his eldest brother should have, not to mention, he would be the first choice to inherit the throne in the future, so it was precisely because of these reasons that he always wanted to establish a majesty in front of his own brothers, like Temujin in front of Ogedei and others.

But unfortunately, because of his mysterious identity and his temperament, he is not only incompatible with Chagatai, Wokotai and others, but also often ostracized by everyone, so in the long run, the relationship between him and his brothers is getting worse and worse.

Ye Qing took Xie Daoqing, Xu Han, and Jia Shi to the spacious hall on the second floor of the painting boat, and at this moment, the windows around it had already been temporarily demolished because of the sunny weather, which made the hall on the second floor like a terrace.

The painting boat slowly starts and sails to the center of the lake, the sparkling lake reflects a dazzling light, and the faint ripples formed by the majestic wind blowing across the lake surface are gently rippling like the heart of a young girl in Huaichun, and the scenery in the original place appears looming in the slight mist, which adds a hazy beauty to the scenery of the West Lake.

Xu Han couldn't stand Xie Daoqing's repeated begging, and after glancing at Ye Qing, who had no objection, he had to hand the monocular to Xie Daoqing again.

Xie Daoqing happily held the binoculars and looked at the scenery and pedestrians who continued to look into the distance, even the tourists in other painting boats.

Especially when looking at the tourists in some painting boats in the distance, Xie Daoqing's mood is both novel and a little exciting, looking at the people who are unaware in the distance, continuing to be busy with the things in hand, that kind of nervous and novel feeling, so that Xie Daoqing's voyeurism is greatly satisfied.

So when Ye Qing suddenly quietly approached Xie Daoqing's ear, he asked in a low voice, "It feels good to peep, right?" ”

Xie Daoqing was taken aback instantly, and the telescope in his hand almost fell into the water from the railing.

looked at Ye Qing, who was smiling and silent, angrily, and said angrily: "No, people are looking at the scenery in the distance." ”

"Then why are you blushing?" Ye Qing stared at the white cheeks that could be blown and exploded.

"Nothing." He said no, but his hand reflexively touched his cheek.

Ye Qing smiled, no longer teasing Xie Daoqing, turned to look at Mu Huali and the others who followed behind him, signaled Xu Han and Jia Shi to take care of Xie Daoqing, and walked towards the table set up in the center of the terrace.

Glancing inadvertently at Qiu Chuji, who had never made a sound, Ye Qing naturally sat down in the main seat, on the left was Mu Huali and Qiu Chuji, and on the other side was Wo Kotai and the gloomy face of the Chu Chi brothers.

Music sounded on the other side of the painting boat almost at the same time, and the women in the painting boat also put some Jiangnan specialties on the table.

Mu Huali personally poured wine for Ye Qing, while Ye Qing looked at Wokotai and asked, "Are you the third son of Temujin?" ”

"I've seen King Yan in Wokotai." Wo Kotai stood up and saluted Ye Qing in a rare and serious manner, and then continued: "Father often mentions you King Yan, and also says that he misses the days when he went on the expedition with you King Yan. This time, the nephew came to Lin'an, in addition to bringing his father's greetings to King Yan, the nephew also specially prepared some gifts for King Yan of our Great Mongolia, and asked King Yan to smile. ”

"Have a heart, bring greetings to your father for me." Ye Qing smiled heartily: "Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, and he gave birth to such a talent, these days in Lin'an, I am afraid that he has also fascinated a lot of women from my Song court, right?" ”

Since the Mongol envoys had come to Lin'an, how could the Imperial City Division not pay attention to their movements? What's more, the Mongol mission is enough to be called grand, the two so-called princes, as well as confidants like Mu Huali, plus a Mongolian national division who is now unsatisfactory, such a weight is not light for the Song court.

Wo Kotai was slightly stunned by Ye Qing's questioning, and returned to his seat under Ye Qing's signal, already knowing in his heart that his every move in Lin'an now probably did not escape the eyes of this Yan King.

So he smiled at the moment and said frankly: "My nephew is the first time to come to Lin'an, and I am full of curiosity about Lin'an, whether it is the prosperous capital of Lin'an, or the woman with Jiangnan style, it has opened my nephew's eyes, which we can't see in Great Mongolia." ”

"It's good to like it, Lin'an has its own beauty of Lin'an, but the grassland also has the heroic style of the grassland that the Song people yearn for. If you like it, you might as well have a fun time in Lin'an. Here's a little bit of caution on my part, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will not be too little. Ye Qing took out a silver ticket from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Wokotai Dao.

Wokotai was overjoyed in an instant, and then after looking at Ye Qing, he stood up again and saluted Ye Qing to thank him.

Xiao Chi sneered again and again between Ye Qing and Wo Kotai, and his face was full of disdain and disdain.

Mu Huali watched Wokotai and Ye Qing's uncle and nephew talk quietly, and he didn't feel worried about Wokotai at all.

As the third son of Temujin, Ogedai has always been a flexible person, and he is not as rigid as Shuchi, no matter when and where he will put on a face that no one can enter, so in Mongolia, Ogedai is also quite respected by these generals.

"But I don't know if Brother Mu invited me to visit the West Lake this time, just because he just wanted to play, or if there was something wrong?" After Ye Qing sat down again in Wokotai, he drank three glasses of wine with Wokotai before asking Mu Huali.

"The last general is on this trip at the behest of the Great Khan of Mongolia, hoping to conclude friendship with your country, and from now on, the two countries will no longer be at war. Regarding the matter of the last general in Jinan Mansion, the last general is willing to accept the punishment of King Yan on this trip. As for...... When King Yan snatched Wanyan Jing, the emperor of the Jin State, from the hands of the Great Khan, the Great Khan would not pursue it again. Mu Huali said with a serious expression.

"What about attacking my Wuzhou and Danzhou? That's it? Ye Qing asked lightly.

"This matter is King Yan's breach of contract, even if King Yan made an alliance with the Jin State at the beginning, it is you, King Yan, who tore up the covenant, isn't it? In just half a year since you formed an alliance with Jin, you have captured many of Jin's territories ....... Xiao Chi retorted from the side.

"It's a reconquest, not a seizure." Ye Qing turned his head and looked at Xiao Chi at this time, the series of fake performances with Wo Kotai just now did not make Xiao Chi angry, which was beyond Ye Qing's expectations.

I thought that if I looked at Ogedai differently, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction and jealousy of Temujin's eldest son, but just now I was facing Ogedai with a virtuous nephew, and even did not hesitate to present a silver ticket, but I was not able to provoke even the slightest dissatisfaction.

Looking at Yu Chi's gloomy face, Ye Qing continued to say lightly: "The Jin Kingdom insulted my Song court and captured my two saints, but now it's just my Great Song court to get back what originally belonged to my Great Song Dynasty, why not?" And I, the Song court, have no grievances or enmity with your Mongolia, this king and your father Khan are still Anda, why do you want to attack my Song court Wuzhou and Danzhou? If we want to talk about peace and alliance and be friendly for generations now, shouldn't we pay some price? ”

"Do you think you can represent the Great Song Dynasty?" Yu Chi said coldly: "I discussed with you today, precisely because for the sake of you and my father, otherwise, we can bypass your King Yan and negotiate peace with the Song court." ”

"Okay, you can try." Ye Qing said lightly: "But don't regret it when the time comes." ”

Mu Huali and Wo Kotai did not stop Xi Chi and Ye Qing from going toe-to-toe, and even when the two were facing each other, there was a faint expression of thought between their expressions.

Ye Qing is so tough, does he really care that Mongolia has waged war against Wuzhou and Danzhou under his rule? Or is it ...... What does Ye Qing already know?

Wo Kotai's eyes unconsciously looked at Mu Huali, and Mu Huali also looked at Wo Kotai, and the two looked at each other's eyes silently, as if they were communicating silently.

"Are you really Ye Qing able to cover the sky in the Song Ting single-handedly?" In his tone, the smell of threat grew stronger.

"Do you think you persuaded Shi Miyuan, and then you can really do whatever you want?" Ye Qing glanced at the red, and didn't pay attention to Mu Huali who was shocked on the side, as well as Wo Kuotai, whose expression also became a little unnatural, and continued to say lightly: "Although Shi Miyuan is the left minister of the Song Dynasty, the matter of the Northland is ...... Xiao Chi, do you think that without me Ye Qing nodded, who would be able to shake it? ”

Mu Huali saw that Yu Chi was going to continue the stalemate with Ye Qing, and if Ye Qing was really anxious, then the purpose of their trip would really be to congratulate the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

After calming down slightly, Mu Huali hurriedly mediated beside him: "Then I don't know how King Yan thinks can make a truce between the two countries, be friendly for generations and never resume the war?" ”

"Yes, King Yan, you might as well put forward the conditions first, as long as the nephew can do it, he will never be stingy, and even if he can't do it, the nephew will immediately report to his father to decide." Wokotai hurriedly followed.

And Shu Chi glanced at Mu Huali and the self-asserted Wo Kotai, and was not dissatisfied because Wo Kotai said as if he could decide.

Ye Qing's eyes were smiling with a hint of a smile, looking at Mu Huali calmly, in his opinion, whether it was a red or a Wokotai, even if he had the right in his hands now, he was afraid that it was definitely not as big as Mu Huali, obviously, among their group, Mu Huali was still the mainstay.

Ye Qing slowly moved his gaze from Mu Huali's face to Qiu Chuji's face, Qiu Chuji's visit, in addition to letting him know thoroughly that the Mongols now wanted to invade Tibet, he also knew that Qiu Chuji had already fought with Ba Si Pa, and finally he was exhausted by Ba Si Pa's arguments and admitted defeat.

It is precisely because Qiu Chuji lost to the Tibetan monk Phagsipa that Temujin is now more inclined and optimistic about the great benefits that Phags-pa can bring to the Mongols.

"I want Pasipa to come to Lin'an." Ye Qing said endlessly.

"What?" Mu Huali, Wo Kotai and Shu Chi were shocked almost in unison.

"What do you want him to do?" The eyes like a red eagle stared at Ye Qing tightly and asked.

"What does he mean to you? Whether it is Liao or Jin, or your Mongolia, even Tibet, do you think they have a land that is richer than the cities of my Song court? How about Lin'an, you have already experienced it, so I don't need to say more, right? Ye Qing picked up the teacup and said leisurely.

Mu Huali looked at Qiu Chuji next to him, and then looked at Wo Kotai, who was looking serious at the moment, and the gloomy Xiao Chi, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, if we talk about wealth and prosperity, Song Ting is too much stronger than us. ”

"So do you think that I, Song Ting, and Ye Qing will get involved in those barren and desolate places in Tubo?" Ye Qing asked again.

This time, even Wokotai unconsciously shook his head, from the grassland all the way to the south, the prosperity and wealth of the Central Plains has completely exceeded their imagination, even if they have Mu Huali and Qiu Zhuji before they came, and told them about the wealth and prosperity of the Song Dynasty, but when he really arrived in Lin'an City, he was able to completely image the prosperity and wealth in his heart.

When he was on the grassland, Wokotai even thought that the prosperity and wealth of the Central Plains was just a court full of cattle and sheep and more pastures than on the grassland.

But when you really step into the Central Plains and see the majestic cities, the exquisite and elegant pavilions in the city, and the shops on both sides of the street, whether it is Wokotai or Shuchi, you think that you have suddenly come to another world that you would never dream of.

This world is completely different from theirs, everything in this world is so exquisite, that they even wish to be able to own such a city immediately.

"What do you want to say?" Mu Huali unconsciously began to frown and asked.

"Give me the Phags-pa, and I'll help Temujin solve the answer on how to conquer Tibet." Ye Qing said in a firm tone.

Mu Huali frowned, Wo Kotai, Shu Chi, and even Qiu Chuji frowned.

Even Qiu Chuji shook his head unconsciously, and sighed: "King Yan may not know something, the matter of Tubo is by no means as simple as King Yan thinks, if it can be conquered by force alone, the Great Khan will not ......." ”

"That's just what you think." Ye Qing interrupted Qiu's words and continued: "Do you think that Pasipa is really thinking about you Mongolians? Also, even if they don't know, don't Daoist Qiu know that there have been nearly a thousand years of correspondence between my Central Plains and Tubo? ”

"There are exchanges between the Central Plains and Tibet, and there are ordinary ......people there." Wokotai asked in surprise.

In his understanding, Tibet is like a world trapped by a long mountain, and there is no connection with the outside world at all, and they should be the first to discover this world.

"Didn't Pasipa tell you that when the Tubo Dynasty was not divided, my Central Plains Dynasty, the Tang Kingdom, once married a princess to their king Songtsen Gampo?" Ye Qing continued.

Historically, because he followed his uncle out of Tibet and studied the Central Plains culture and the Mongolian language, he was extremely respected by the Tibetan people.

It was by telling the Mongols about the relationship between Tibet and the Central Plains, as well as various historical allusions, that Pasipa gained the trust of the Mongols.

It was precisely because of Paspa's erudition that Qiu Chuji was dwarfed in front of him, and eventually had to be defeated, which also made the Mongols begin to believe more in Buddhism than in Qiu's Taoism.

It was precisely because the Mongols began to trust Tibetan Buddhism that they learned that only after converting to Buddhism could they get the help of Phags-pa to rule Tibet.

But it is precisely because in order to convert to Buddhism, it is necessary to worship Phag-pa as the guru, and another condition of Phag-pa is that after taking refuge, the guru sits on the throne, prays with the body, listens to the teacher's words, and does not violate the teacher's wishes.

This was a bit difficult for Temujin, or the haughty and heroic Mongols, to accept.

Although in the end, it can be discounted to the fact that when there are few people, the patta is enthroned, and when there are other people such as generals and courtiers, there is no need to obey.

But even so, for the Mongols, it was obviously a little difficult to accept.

And Ye Qing obviously took advantage of this, and in front of Wo Kotai, Shu Chi, Mu Huali and Qiu Chuji, he once again threw out the four words of divine authority of the monarch.

"Divine authority of kings? Why? Wo Kotai was the first to ask, and Shu Chi also unconsciously pricked up his ears, after all, no matter what, these should be about their future inheritance of the throne, naturally at this time, they want to listen to Ye Qing's opinion, even if they don't believe it, but it doesn't hurt to listen to it, right?

Ye Qing looked at Xiao Chi, then at Wo Kotai, and then smiled: "The divine right of the monarch, what is the solution?" ”

After seeing the two of them nodding impatiently, Ye Qing continued: "If Ba Si Pa is the guru, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, he naturally has to listen to the words of the guru and fulfill the guru's wishes. And if a Great Khan has to bow down to a person, does that mean that your people will also listen to their teachings? Will you bow down to him too? ”

"Yes, but so what? As long as it is for the sake of our Great Mongolia....... Xiao Chi asked with a solemn expression.

"The Mongols worship the wolf and the deer, a belief that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is something that is imprinted in your bones. Yes, now Pas-pa may be just a guru to you. Can....... Ye Qing looked at Wo Kotai and Shu Chi who were listening intently, and after a pause, he continued: "What if it goes on like this for a long time? Will Mongolia be honored by the Sons and Daughters family, or will it be valued by the Basipa lineage? ”

Seeing that Mu Huali's expression also became solemn, Ye Qing continued: "The people of the Great Mongolian Kingdom will only see your respect for Basipa and others, and in the long run, the Xiao'er Jinjin family will only be able to succumb to the Basipa clan. ”

"But Phags-pa is a guru and a monk, and he won't be involved...... He won't ....... In front of Mu Huali and Wo Kotai, it was obviously a little difficult to say the word battle for the throne.

"He will not participate, but no matter who is the Great Khan of the Great Mongolia in the future, he must be regarded as a guru and listen to his teachings, and if this goes on for a long time, there will only be one result, and that is ...... Only what he thinks is a Great Khan will be recognized by the generals and the people. And the other princes who are not on good terms with him, the princes he doesn't like, even if they are the eldest sons, but as long as Pasipa does not agree, do you think he will be able to inherit the throne? When Ye Qing was talking about his eldest son, he unconsciously glanced at Xiao Chi.

When Ye Qing looked at him, he nodded silently at Ye Qing as if in response, obviously agreeing with Ye Qing's concerns.

"This is the divine right of the monarch that King Yan said, right?" Seeing Ye Qing looking at Yu Chi, Wo Kotai hurriedly said when his gaze swept away from him.

"Yes, this is the divine right of kings. Unlike courtiers who may be high-ranking and cause turmoil in the court, the king can fabricate a crime to dismiss and exile, even if he is killed, but no matter what, a courtier is a courtier after all, and he needs to act according to the king's will. Whereas...... Phags-pa is a courtier, a guru, and he does not have the so-called worldly rights in his mouth, but he holds the legitimacy of the position of the Great Khan of your Great Mongolian State. Today, seeing that you are not pleasing to the eye, he can find a reason to play Temujin, and even if you are the eldest son, there is no way for you to inherit the ...... throne. Ye Qing suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Chi and said.

Mu Huali immediately shouted coldly: "I'm afraid that King Yan's move is not to talk about what the divine authority of the monarch is, but to provoke ...... between their brothers. ”

"If this king wants to stir up, how will he do it in your presence? With the power of this king in Lin'an, it can be broken individually, so why make such a move that you can easily see through? Ye Qing retorted without replying.

"Reverence Phags-pa as a guru? How old is Phags-pa now? I am afraid that the age is not much different from that of Ogedei, once Temujin is old, Pasipa is at the peak of his life, coupled with Temujin's trust and respect over the years, once his so-called Buddhist teachings are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the particularity of holding only divine power regardless of the world, how can you live in peace with the throne of the Great Mongolian Kingdom? Let me ask, who will have the final say in your great Mongolia? Ye Qing only turned his head to look at Mu Huali aggressively at this time.

For a moment, there was some tension on Ye Qing's side, which unconsciously attracted the concerned eyes of Xie Daoqing and several others.

And when Xie Daoqing turned his head to look over, he saw Ye Qing sitting on the main seat, and said in a sharp tone and with a cold expression: "What is the Son of Heaven?" The king's father, heaven and mother, is also the son of heaven. ”

The "Deed of Aiding the Gods" contains: "The heavens cover the earth, and the Son of Heaven is called the Son of Heaven, and he fights the Dharma." ”

"Shangshu" has a saying: "The Son of Heaven is the father and mother of the people, and he thinks that he is the king of the world." ”

"The Analects of Ji" cloud: Confucius said: "There is a way in the world, and the conquest of rites and music comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. Since the princes, Gai Shi Xi is not lost; Since the doctor, the fifth generation is not lost; The courtiers are in charge of the country, and the third world is not lost. There is a way in the world, and the government is not in the doctor. If there is a way in the world, people will not discuss it. ”

"Mencius: The First Confession" said: "There are those who have heavenly lords, and there are those who have lords." Benevolence, righteousness and faithfulness, tireless kindness, this heavenly lord also; Doctor, this person is also. The ancients cultivated their heavenly lords, and the human lords followed them. ”

The Son of Heaven is supreme, how can he allow others to be the masters of Heaven and choose kings for the people? It's ridiculous! ”
