Under Gao Shouchang's explanation, Ye Qing realized that the size of the lake in the Gaofu in front of him was not small compared to the lake in front of the Zhao Gou Palace in Lin'an Desshou Palace, and the water of the lake was completely drawn from the mountain spring water on the back mountain, creating this beautiful lake.

The house where Ye Qing and the others lived was by the lake, and at this time, except for some mosquitoes that occasionally flew by, it was elegant and deep, quite the style of the literati of the Song Dynasty.

Gao Shouchang waved his subordinates away, Ye Qing also signaled Zhao Qi'er to go down first, and when the two of them were left in the hall, the smile on Gao Shouchang's face was even more enthusiastic, and he said with a smile: "Lord Ye has worked hard all the way, a little care, and I hope Lord Ye will not be surprised." ”

A silver ticket that was common in the Great Song Dynasty was pushed to Ye Qing from the tabletop, looking at the eye-catching 10,000 taels on it, Ye Qing shook his head with a smile, and then said: "As the so-called merit is not punished, Lord Gao is so generous, I'm afraid it will not only appease the hard work, right?" ”

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't move to get the silver ticket, but just looked at the words on it with interest, how could Gao Shouchang not know that since he didn't refuse, then it could only explain one problem, one was not enough.

"Seeing that Lord Ye is so old, he is already in a high position in the kingdom, and this time he has won the trust of the saints, and at such an age to serve as the envoy to my Dali, it is simply admired and envied by Gao, when Gao was so old as Lord Ye, he didn't have the talent of Lord Ye." Gao Shouchang smiled and continued to stretch out his hand, and two silver tickets were placed on top of the first silver ticket.

"Master Gao has won the prize. Lord Gao must also know a lot about my Great Song Dynasty, so he must know that there is a saying that if you lose your wife and lose your soldiers, right? Ye Qing still didn't stretch out his hand, but continued to look at the silver ticket with interest.

Seeing Ye Qing's eyes staring at him quietly, there was a deep meaning in his words, obviously in addition to referring to the silver ticket in front of him, he also intended to refer to what happened to Wulong.

"In that case, how about not talking in secret at the bottom?" Gao Shouchang said to Ye Qing.

"I want to hear about it." Ye Qing nodded and said with a smile.

Since Gao Shouchang personally sent himself to the other courtyard, and asked his subordinates to go down and then talk to him alone, it is not difficult for Ye Qing to imagine that now Han Yanxuan's side, I am afraid that eight or nine will not leave ten, and the situation is exactly the same as that on his side.

"Then Gao Mou is welcome, I want to ask Lord Ye, what is the real purpose of this mission to Dali? If he just participated in the Zen position of Emperor Dali, then how could Gao care about what Lord Ye said, losing his wife and breaking his army? Of course, if the purpose of Lord Ye and the other three adults is not limited to this, but they want to ask the adults for advice, how long do the adults think that the Duan clan, who has always been to the Buddha, can last? Gao Shouchang was not ambiguous, and said directly.

"So, does Lord Gao intend to emulate the ancestors......?" Ye Qing looked at Gao Shouchang with a smile, and added two more to the three silver tickets, obviously this is to smash himself to death with silver, or, because of the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty today, so outsiders will think that the values of the Great Song Dynasty officials have completely lost their integrity, and only the word money remains.

Master Ye laughed. At that time, Emperor Zhengde was for the sake of the prosperity of my Dali Dynasty for a hundred years, so he had to sit on the throne of the emperor, and the period was unpopular, and the officials above the court were all complaining about the Duan family, if the throne was allowed to continue to be inherited by the Duan family, I am afraid that at that time my Dali Dynasty would be divided into seven. Therefore, it was under this circumstance that Emperor Zhengde had to face difficulties, so as to preserve the continuity of the Dali Dynasty, so that my Dali Dynasty was still stable and was not successfully divided by people with intentions. When Emperor Zhengde was a hundred years old, he left an edict to return the country to the Duan family, presumably Lord Ye should also be able to see that my Gao family, as a member of Dali, has always held an important position in the Xiangguo, but he has never been a subordinate, otherwise, he would not have returned the throne to the Duan family. Gao Shouchang explained to Ye Qing in a sincere tone.

"Emperor Zhengde is high-spirited and bright, which is admirable." Ye Qing looked at Gao Shouchang, who was about forty or fifty years old in front of him, and then said: "So in this case, please forgive me for being stupid, and Lord Gao has been adding silver tickets to my subordinates, what does this mean?" ”

"Ming people don't say dark words, please forgive Gao for saying bluntly: Duan Zhengxing has been dedicated to Buddhism over the years, which has caused the dynasty to be sluggish, both the people and officials are quite complaining, and the prince Duan Zhixing, as the prince, does not think about the heart of the country and the people, just like Duan Zhengxing, he only seeks Buddhism, and there is no social society in his heart. The two have made no achievements in government over the years, but

The large and small temples include the Wuhua Building that placed the Tripitaka Sutra obtained from the kingdom, and more than 60 monasteries have been built in these years, Dali is a small country, far from the abundant financial resources of the kingdom, so consumed year after year, Dali can not afford it. If the crown prince who is dedicated to the Buddha inherits the throne, dare to ask the envoys, can I still have a rich country and a strong people? Gao Shouchang, who was worried about the country and the people, still said sincerely, and even said with some grief and indignation.

"The emperor is on the throne and the prince is on the throne, so the tall man and his brother naturally want to ......?" Ye Qing asked tentatively.

Gao Shouchang's majestic face was full of righteousness, and he looked at Ye Qing who was silent for a while, as if he was struggling with something, and finally sighed and said: "Lord Ye, Duan Zhixing is not the king of Dali!" But...... Even so, the Gao family will not have the heart of disobedience, and Gao has no heart to ascend to the treasure. Gao Mou's words are all here, Lord Ye, as the courtier of the king, must also be able to understand the helplessness and grief in the courtier's heart when the king is not the king. ”

"Your silver ticket ......." Ye Qing picked up the silver ticket, looked at the back of Gao Shouchang who rushed out of the door and shouted.

But Gao Shouchang's slightly sad and lonely back turned a blind eye to Ye Qing's shouting, and after a while, he disappeared from the lakeside.

Looking at the silver ticket on the table, Ye Qing was rarely immersed in Gao Shouchang's words, although he couldn't say that Gao Shouchang's words hit him deeply, but he also had to admit that when a king didn't have the country's society and the people's sufferings in his heart, but blindly asked the Buddha to ask, such a king may not be in his position.

But is Gao Shouchang really so simple to worry about the country and the people?

Obviously not, from Gao Shouchang's tone, it can be felt that of course he has no such ambitions, but what about his brother Gao Shouzhen?

Not long after Gao Shouchang left, Shi Miyuan and Han Yanxuan came over, looking at the faces of the two, they had obviously been dealt with in the same way, but I don't know how these two ministers who were labeled as ministers in the history books would feel at this moment.

"Looking at the faces of the two adults, they must have also listened to the impassioned tragedy of the Gao family?" Ye Qing did not hide the fifty thousand taels of silver tickets on the table, and sat there generously and said.

Shi Miyuan saw the silver ticket on the table for the first time, and then looked at Ye Qing, while Han Yanxuan was the opposite, first looking at Ye Qing, and then at the silver ticket.

"There is a difference between a monarch and a minister, a monarch is a monarch, and a minister is a minister, from Han's point of view, this is just a usurpation of the Gao family, and it is not credible." Han Yanxuan said.

Shi Miyuan nodded first, looked at Ye Qing's gaze that seemed to be smiling at him, and then shook his head, and said: "The king has no Jiangshan Sheji and the suffering of the people in his heart, it is really not the way of the king, but the Gao family has been in charge for many years, has he fulfilled the responsibility of a courtier?" It's hard to say. ”

"So what do you mean? That's how the silver ticket was accepted? Ye Qing picked up the silver ticket on the table and raised it and asked.

Han Yanxuan's eyes looked strange at this time, looking at Ye Qing raising the silver ticket in his hand, he suddenly asked, "How many are you?" ”

"Five, what's wrong? Is there a lot of yours? Ye Qing's hand holding the silver ticket was fixed in the air and asked inexplicably.

"Mine less, three." Han Yanxuan's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

"So, someone else is deliberately ......?" Ye Qingqiang asked with a smile.

"No, it's Gao Shouzhen who hasn't finished speaking, so I kicked him out. I can't see such arrogant, arrogant and rude people. Han Yan snorted.

Shi Miyuan took out a full seven silver tickets from his arms, and then looked at the silver tickets in the hands of Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, and asked the two of them to hand over the silver tickets to him, and when they returned to Lin'an, they would be handed over to the Holy Lord for ruling.

Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's appearance of stretching out his hand to ask for the silver ticket, smiled, and then put the silver ticket into his arms without giving face, and said, "After I go back, I will hand it over to the Holy Lord, as for you, there is no way, I don't trust you." ”

Han Yanxuan also put the silver ticket into his arms, and he didn't even pay attention to Shi Miyuan.

And Shi Miyuan seemed to have known the result a long time ago, so he snorted and got up and said, "Since this is the case, then please don't forget after the two of you return to Lin'an." And also....... Shi Miyuan, who was about to leave, turned to look at the two people sitting quietly, and said with as much majesty as possible: "Although the imperial court sent the three of us as envoys, the head of the envoy is my Shi Mou, so now that I have arrived in Dali, everything that follows should be subject to me."

, and please don't make promises to others to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After finishing speaking, Shi Miyuan left without looking back, leaving Ye Qing, who still seemed to be smiling, and Han Yanxuan, who was full of disdain, with a smile on their faces.

"Master Shi is going to eat alone with his back hand, tsk, it seems that he doesn't even plan to pay attention to the appearance of eating." Ye Qing shook his head and said.

"It seems that he deliberately didn't take these silver tickets, this is to block our mouths when we return to Lin'an and go to the saint." Han Yanxuan said with a sneer.

"And what are you going to do?" Ye Qing asked suddenly and quietly.

"I'd like to hear what you think." Han Yanxuan sneered again and said, "As for my thoughts...... I'm afraid I'll scare you out of your chair. ”

"The two brothers of the Gao family have no intention of usurping the throne, obviously, they are paving the way for the next generation, and the Duan family, all they can think of now is how to let the prince sit on the throne, and they are always one step behind the Gao family." Ye Qing propped himself on the table with one hand and said with his chin on his lean.

"Oh? How do you say that? Han Yanxuan asked in some surprise, he really didn't expect that Ye Qing would find out the inside information he wanted to know from the conversation with others.

"I'm not you Han Yanxuan, anyone dares not to take it in their eyes, and wave away if they don't like it. I heard the end from the beginning, and then they took the initiative to leave. Ye Qing said with a smile, and at this time he gradually understood that Gao Shouchang was leaving angrily, for fear that he would realize that he was not easy to deal with, so he hurriedly left after being impassioned.

But even so, Ye Qing still sensed the Gao family's ambition, that is, they did not plan to let either of the two brothers, Gao Shouzhen and Gao Shouchang, usurp the throne and ascend the throne, and ...... They were even ready to let Duan Zhixing ascend the throne as emperor.

Because their goal is to...... Duan Zhilian! The one they want to support the upper position is one of Gao Liangcheng's grandsons!

"It's bad, it may be a big loophole for Shi Miyuan." Ye Qing's expression was shocked, and he looked straight at Han Yanxuan.

"Are you saying that Shi Miyuan will agree to conspire with the Gao family for the sake of money, and this happens to be the future plan of the Gao family?" Han Yanxuan stared at Ye Qing and asked, "Then doesn't it mean that Shi Miyuan can easily offend both sides, and he can also make a lot of money?" More than just the money of those seven silver tickets? ”

"We are envoys after all, when we arrive in Dali, we watch Duan Zhengxing become a monk, watch Duan Zhixing ascend the throne as the emperor, watch Duan Zhilian become the prince, watch the Gao family bow down and call the ministers without dissent, and we will be able to return to Lin'an." Ye Qing's eyes were a little empty.

"But this will only cheapen Shi Miyuan, let him go left and right, and then return to Lin'an with a bulging money bag?" Han Yanxuan frowned: "You must not let Shi Miyuan take away so much money so easily, what do you say?" ”

"Seventy thousand is a fart! I can't even look down on Ye Qing, will he Shi Miyuan take a fancy to him? The benefits are yet to come, but how can we stop them? Don't forget, these are the requests of the Duan clan in Dali, and there is nothing else, and there is nothing else in the will given to us by the imperial court. Ye Qing blinked his eyes, and said as he looked at Han Yanxuan's deep eyes.

After being silent for a while, Han Yanxuan slowly spoke: "If there is no difficulty, then we will create difficulties for him, so that Shi Miyuan cannot make profits so easily, and the Gao family cannot easily follow the steps." ”

"Everything in this world is easier said than done, Lord Han, have you ever thought that if you want to make this happen, just the two of us are far from enough!" Ye Qing's eyes also flashed with a fierce light.

"But this matter can only be known to you and me, not even heaven and earth." Han Yanxuan said in a deep voice.

"The Zhengde Emperor who has been the emperor of the Gao family, do you know how to call himself on weekdays?" Ye Qing asked suddenly, looking at Han Yanxuan and shaking his head, Ye Qing replied: "It's called Emperor Zhengde of Great China, and the country name: Dazhong." ”

"So what?" Han Yanxuan said quietly.

"Those who live in the middle of heaven and earth are called China, and Siyi is the one who lives in the middle of heaven and earth, so Dali is more suitable for today's Duan." Ye Qing inexplicably thought of the word Huaxia, and then muttered.

"Lizhou Road Dasanguan, this is my condition." Han Yanxuan looked at Ye Qing and said.

"My condition is...... Let Shi Miyuan jump into the pit. Ye Qing gave Han Yanxuan the conditions he hoped for.
