Ye Qing's few words not only stunned Xie Daoqing, Xu Han, Jia Shi and others, but also Mu Huali, Qiu Chuji, Wo Kotai and Shu Chi, their eyes widened.

In just a few words, deafening, and the supremacy of royal power, Mu Huali and others had to think and weigh the pros and cons of Mongolia as a guru.

The boat moved slowly in the middle of the lake, and on the terrace on the second floor, the music that was originally as light as flowing water stopped at some point.

Should kingship be the supreme power of the world, and should divine power be above kingship by its will? Which is better or worse, who is wrong and who is right, obviously for Mu Huali and others, this is completely a question that they have never considered at all.

Whether the legitimacy of the royal power should be certified by the divine right or by the classics and the royal power itself is also a question that makes them wonder and contradict each other.

After a long silence, Mu Huali watched Wokotai suddenly raise his wine glass and drink it all, got up and saluted Ye Qing more respectfully than just now, and said, "I don't know what King Yan thinks should be?" ”

"The prosperity and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is not because of the divine right and the granting of monarchical power, but because: the whole world is not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's reason. Whether you are a Buddha or a Taoist, a god or a demon, since you are in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, you should respect the royal power! How can you be above the royal power and at its mercy? Ye Qing once again used Lin'an's prosperity and wealth as a model, naturally, this is also more convincing.

"I don't know...... If King Yan thinks that the royal power is supreme, how should my Great Mongolia conquer Tibet? Xiao Chi frowned, at this moment, he could no longer talk in front of Ye Qing with an arrogant attitude.

Whether it is Shuchi or Ogedei, although they are now considering the problem from the perspective of the Great Mongolia, deep in their hearts, they are thinking more about whether they are willing to listen to the constraints of the so-called Guru if they inherit the throne of the Great Khan.

The answer is obviously unwilling, whether it is Shuchi or Ogedei, naturally I hope that when they inherit the throne of the Great Khan, everything in the Great Mongolia will be decided by them, and naturally everyone should obey their orders, naturally they are unwilling, above their heads, or next to them, there is another person who sits on an equal footing with them, or shares their rights.

"Of course, there is a way, but ......." Ye Qing said slowly.

"As long as King Yan's method is indeed feasible, Pasipa is not a problem." Wokotai was obviously more decisive than Shu Chi, and immediately made a promise to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's method is actually very simple, it is just to copy the historical method of changing the land and returning to the stream, and this is not a difficult thing for the now strong Mongols, but for Song Ting, at least for the moment, he does not have such strength for the time being.

The rule of officials in the north has already made Ye Qing anxious, and there are no more capable officials who have entered Ye Qing's eyes, and if he wants to implement the reform of the land and return to the river in Tubo, for Ye Qing, the difficulty is comparable to ascending to the sky.

The so-called razing to control the raze, although it is the traditional system of Tubo today, but for Ye Qing, using the Mongolian raze to govern the Tubo is like a gradual process, after the Mongols baptized and destroyed the Tubo system, and then the Song court entered the pruning of branches and leaves, which is not only a strategy to get twice the result with half the effort, but also a strategy that can strive to make Tubo achieve a perfect system in the short term.

Ye Qingyang said that his mouth was dry and his saliva was flying, and Wo Kotai, Shu Chi or Mu Huali were all listening very seriously and attentively, and even Qiu Chuji had to be convinced, Ye Qing's policy was indeed a good way to fundamentally solve the conquest of Tibet, and more importantly, there was no need to be subject to Tibetan Buddhism.

However, naturally, from the position and perspective of Qiu Chuji, it also means that whether it is Quanzhen Buddhism or Tibetan Buddhism, even if they can have devout believers in the future, these believers are by no means believers who can control their thoughts and behaviors, but will form a kind of faith that is based on the Chinese national tradition and allows the people to choose at will or even abandon it at any time.

In the final analysis, under Ye Qing's law, there will only be a belief that survives under the royal power, looks at the face of the royal power, and accepts the worship and rejection of the people, and cannot fundamentally share the right of the royal power, and therefore cannot be equal to the royal power.

They will form an existence like a business, and their survival and decline will depend on themselves and the people to sustain them, and at the same time, they will have to face the challenges of Confucianism, which has been passed down for thousands of years. Therefore, the final result is that their so-called preachers and preachers have been completely pulled from the position of God to the position of man, and apart from the mystery and reverence, the royal power has become the common law and common master between them and the people.

"King Yan's move...... I'm afraid it's not just for the sake of the Great Khan, right? Although Mu Huali couldn't hear that there was any ulterior secret behind Ye Qing's sincere strategy, he always felt that with Ye Qing's character, he was by no means a person who would help others easily.

What's more, now that the relationship between Meng and Song is so delicate, will Ye Qing really give up and give up, just to give advice to the Great Khan?

After Mu Huali's reminder, Wo Kotai's heart was also slightly shocked, and he immediately followed Mu Huali's words and asked, "But I don't know why King Yan wants Ba Sipa?" ”

"The condition of the Phag-pa is just to make you believe me, of course, if you don't agree to give me the Phag-pa, then it is not impossible to change the other conditions. As for....... Ye Qing's gaze swept over the suspicious Mu Huali and Wo Kuotai, and then said lightly: "Whether you listen or not is your business, and whether you say it or not is my business." Although the relationship between this king and Temujin is different now, I don't want to see that Temujin has fought in the south and north for so many years, and has worked hard to unify the steppe tribes

Later, the Great Mongolian State was established, and finally became the right in the hands of a monk. If I were a Mongol warrior, one day I would rather believe in Temujin as a god than a monk as a god. Mongols should have their own beliefs, such as wolves, deer, or whatever, but if you forget all of these and instead go under the command of a Buddhist monk who can control your will, is Temujin really willing? ”

"How about we give you the head of Phag-pa?" The cold light flashed in his red eyes, and he seemed to look like a reckless man, but he was also thoughtful.

Such a suggestion to send the head of Ba Si Pa to Ye Qing naturally has his own calculations, that is, once Ye Qing's policy is feasible, then Ba Si Pa will undoubtedly not be as important to them as it is now.

And if Ye Qing's strategy is not feasible in Tibet, then it will not be too late for them to reuse Pasipa again.

Therefore, Ye Qing pointed out that he wanted Ba Si Pa, so it may be possible to show that there are still merits in Ba Si Pa. Therefore, in order to prevent Ye Qing from benefiting from Pa Sipa, wouldn't it be more in the interests of Mongolia to give Ye Qing a dead Ba Sipa?

"Keep the head for yourselves, although this king is not a vegetarian, he is not an innocent person. Since I asked you to give me the Phags-pa and make you have some concerns, then you might as well ....... ”

"I'm afraid King Yan has miscalculated, whether it's Ba Si Pa or Yelu Gobu, we won't hand it over." Mu Huali instantly guessed Ye Qing's intention of retreating, and immediately refused.

"In that case, then I don't have any conditions." Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders directly, and his abnormal attitude made Mu Huali unbelievable.

"King Yan...... No, what King Yan means is that the conditions are ....... ”

"Yes, the two countries that have concluded an alliance will be friendly for generations, and will never again be at war with each other, I promise you." Ye Qing said frankly.

At this moment, even Shu Chi was involuntarily stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qing with some surprise, and then looked at Mu Huali, obviously waiting for Mu Huali to make a decision.

Looking at the hesitant expressions of several people, Ye Qing smiled casually, and then beckoned to Xu Han, who had been paying attention to them not far away.

Xu Han, who ran over in small steps, came to Ye Qing, took out a thick pile of paper from his arms and handed it to Ye Qing, and returned to the original place without looking back.

Ye Qing took the dense paper, flipped through it casually, and said: "The so-called strategy of changing the land and returning to the stream, I have already ordered people to draw it up, whether I am willing to obey it or not, it is all Temujin's business." But in any case, I hope that you must be in the hands of Temujin, how about it? ”

Mu Huali looked at the thick pile of paper, which was densely covered with Song characters, and said after taking a deep breath: "Okay, the last general promised King Yan that it would definitely be handed over to the Great Khan." ”

"That's not all, it's just the essentials I've copied. And if Temujin wants to be free from the control of Tibetan Buddhism and be able to completely conquer Tibet, of course, there are still some books and classics about Tibet in the early years of our Chinese nation, and these must also help you consolidate everything in Tibet, and find more strategies that are beneficial to your rulers to govern Tibet. Ye Qing was naturally referring to the two large boxes of Central Plains books in today's carriage.

Ye Qing's generosity and magnanimity obviously completely exceeded the expectations of Mu Huali and others, and now it seems that not only did he easily reach an alliance with Ye Qing that the two countries would no longer fight, but Ye Qing also took the initiative to attack Tubo.

They obviously don't think about what the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, not to mention that as Ye Qing said, and just like the scene they saw all the way south, the prosperous and rich northland, especially the several important cities along the way, such as Chang'an, Yangzhou, Lin'an and other places, are even more rich and prosperous to make them unbelievable, so because of what they have seen with their own eyes, they are not worried that Ye Qing will be interested in Tubo, which is much more barren than the Song Dynasty.

Naturally, Ye Qing's real purpose was covered by the prosperity and wealth of Lin'an and other Song court cities, and was also covered by the barren scene of Tubo, so that now, whether it is Muhuali, Wokotai or Shuchi, they are more inclined to Ye Qing's so-called strategy of changing the land and returning to the river to conquer Tubo, rather than taking Ba Si Pa as the master to conquer Tubo.

The painting boat docked, Ye Qing's carriage slowly drove over, and two large boxes of the so-called various classics of the Chinese nation carefully selected by Ye Qing were placed on the carriage of Mu Huali and a few people.

When Ye Qing was separated from a few people, he didn't forget to remind a few people, if you don't think it's enough, you can tell me, and I can send someone to help you search more in Lin'an.

After the Mongolian carriage left, Xie Daoqing, Xu Han, and Jia She, all looked at Ye Qing, who was smiling and silent, and asked, "Will they really believe it?" ”

"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. The various tribes of the steppe have only just been unified by Temujin, and although they are not strong, the rest are not much different from before. If they knew about the glorious past of the Chinese nation and the intersection between the Chinese nation and the grassland for thousands of years, they would naturally be more inclined to us. And as for those books...... Naturally, no one will look at it when it is useless, but if they are told that there is a strategy that can help them conquer Tibet, the Mongols will definitely go to see it....... ”

"Can they read it?" Xie Dao Qinghu said suspiciously.

"There are a lot of talented people around Temujin, even if Qiu Chuji is one, but because after losing to Pasipa, his status in Mongolia has plummeted, and now that he has these classics, Qiu Chuji can be regarded as having a place to use again, and Temujin will naturally look at him differently again. But whether it is successful or not, this is

Temujin's own ambitions, and whether Phag-pa was really wiser than I thought. Ye Qing sighed slightly, he didn't know much about Ba Si Pa, but he also knew that the reason why Ba Si Pa was able to be trusted and reused by the Mongols, and even made the Mongols not hesitate to take him as a teacher, must have his own merits.

Looking at Ye Qing's contemplative and serious appearance, Jia She, who was on the side, said unconsciously: "Actually, the last general thinks that there is no need to spend so much time at all, if it is a debater, the last general does not think that my Great Song literati will lose to those barbarians, so simply King Yan, you will give an order and send Zhu Xi and several other famous Confucians, not to mention one Eight Sipa, even eight Eight Eight Sipa are not necessarily opponents." Isn't it easier than this? ”

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and Xu Han next to him clapped his hands and applauded: "Yes, if King Yan recommends a few Confucian scholars to Temujin, do you still need to worry about that Ba Sipa?" ”

"Do you think there is a shortage of Confucian scholars around Temujin? Although the Jin Kingdom has never been touched by the Mongols, some Han people in Xia and Liao are still not lacking under the command of Temujin. But why Phags-pa is more valued than them is not only because of the relationship between Tibet, but also because of the essence of the Buddhist scriptures. It is not because of how good the essence of the Buddhist scriptures is that it can attract the attention of the Mongols, but because among the people whose wisdom is completely unenlightened, the common people are more willing to believe in the words of gods, ghosts, Buddhas, demons, and the bliss of rebirth. Aren't you the same? ”

Xie Daoqing, Xu Han and Jia Shi were dumbfounded, indeed, when they encountered some strange things, they were willing to go to the ghosts and gods to think about it as soon as possible.

Just like when Ye Qing broke the camp in Yanjing, he deliberately played tricks on the ghost fire at night, which made almost all the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army who followed Ye Qing to the broken camp panic for several days, but when Ye Qing unveiled the mysterious veil and the truth was revealed, all the soldiers suddenly realized, which finally made the broken camp calm again.

Although it is only a small prank, it can also be seen from it that even the army of the flower planter with strong force often associates with gods and ghosts in the face of incomprehensible affairs, and for the more backward Tibetans and Mongols, no matter what happens on the grassland, they are also more willing to believe in the explanation of the so-called celestial and human induction of the so-called enlightened monks.

And often, no matter what kind of doctrine it is, when preaching and preaching, it often takes advantage of people's curiosity and reverence for the affairs of gods and ghosts, and makes up some stories of gods and ghosts to make people believe that the mysterious things that people in this world cannot understand and decipher are all because of the ethereal gods above their heads, which are hinting at something to people.

Therefore, once the missionaries become the messengers of God, after gaining the trust and respect of the people, they will often make more use of strange affairs and add their own knowledge to educate the world, and the ultimate goal is naturally not to take the interests of the people of the world as the starting point, but to maintain the respect of their doctrine as the most basic interest, so that they can always live a life of worship by the people.

Just as worldly rights are inextricably linked, it is also a great fulfillment to stand in the position of God and accept the worship of the people.

When the carriage returned to Lin'an, it was already dark at night, and it had just stopped in front of Xie's mansion, and Xie Shenfu's sedan chair also slowly walked over from another direction.

The carriage with the logo of the prince was noticed as soon as Xie Shenfu got off the sedan chair, watching Xie Daoqing jumping off the carriage and inseparably dancing with Ye Qingmei, who poked his head out, Xie Shenfu's originally calm and majestic expression immediately became extremely dignified.

At Ye Qing's signal, Xie Daoqing lowered his head and hurriedly saluted Xie Shenfu, and then ran back to the mansion quickly.

Xie Shenfu looked at Xie Daoqing's back as he rushed back to the mansion, sighed slightly, and then walked to Ye Qing's carriage and saluted and said, "Xiaguan Xie Shenfu has seen King Yan. ”

"It's not in the court at this time, Master Xie doesn't have to be so polite." Ye Qing didn't get out of the carriage, but still leaned out of the window and said to Xie Shenfu.

"Then thank you King Yan." Xie Shenfu took a deep breath, and finally asked directly, "Is King Yan ...... But is it intentional about the granddaughter of the lower official? ”

"I met by chance today, so I happened to meet and went to West Lake to play. Why does Master Xie think so? Ye Qing was slightly stunned in his heart, he didn't feel that he had shown his liking for Xie Daoqing.

Xie Shenfu's expression was a little bitter, and he said: "King Yan said that today was a chance encounter, so that day must not have been a chance encounter at Hening Gate, right?" ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Qing no longer concealed his good impression of Xie Shenfu, and simply admitted it and asked directly.

"I'm afraid that my granddaughter can't climb to a high-ranking family like King Yan, not to mention that several ladies in King Yan's Mansion are rumored to be as beautiful as flowers, although Daoqing is born in Peugeot, but ...... In terms of posture, I am afraid that I can't compete with a few ladies. So...... Therefore, Xia Guan also hopes that King Yan can raise his noble hand and let Dao Qingcai go. Xie Shenfu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his expression was much calmer and calmer than just now.

"I wonder if Lord Xie has ever asked Daoqing what he means?" Ye Qing frowned slightly, stared at Xie Shenfu and asked.

"The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, the subordinate officials naturally can't make the decision in this matter, and they must also need their parents to choose a son-in-law for them. But no matter what, Xia Guan really didn't dare to climb the rank of King Yan. I hope King Yan will forgive me. Xie Shenfu saluted Ye Qing again, then turned around and walked towards the mansion.

"Master Xie, are you talking to Ye about conditions?" Ye Qing's voice behind him sounded slowly, Xie Shenfu's figure paused slightly, resisted the urge to turn around, and then continued to walk towards the mansion without saying a word.
