Xingqing Mansion is very similar to Lin'an, that is, the city is rectangular, but compared with the narrow and irregular Lin'an City, Xingqing Mansion is built due south and north, square.

There are not many city gates, there is only one city gate for each of the east and west cities, and there are two city gates in the north and south, so that Xingqing Mansion seems stingy, not as good as Lin'an City, although the place is not big, but I have many city gates.

The road is also in a square shape, and the various squares where the people live are more like Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, all of which are square shapes.

It's just not as prosperous as Chang'an City, most of the various squares are low earthen houses or earthen houses, like slightly taller buildings, there are not many, as for the wooden pavilions like the Central Plains, there are even few, and only a few places can be seen in the imperial city.

Then the next slightly higher buildings, is the pagoda of various temples and so on, such as the Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple and other temples, in Xingqing Mansion is also a luxury building, the people come here generally only to worship, admiration.

This made Ye Qing very puzzled, just like the Han people in the Central Plains, they were obviously about to be poor and eat soil, but even so, they still had to generously give some incense money, hoping to get the blessing and enlightenment of the Buddha.

Eventually, the statues of the Buddha became taller and more magnificent, the temple buildings became more and more beautiful, and the devout believers who came to worship were still poor, but they were obsessed.

Therefore, in the history of the Chinese nation, the architectural style of the temple has become an architectural treasure in the history of the Chinese nation, and has a very high historical research value.

Even in the Zhongwei Tea Shop in Xingqing Mansion, you can take a bath every day for several days, but Ye Qing seems to be obsessed with dirty braids during this time, as Lao Liu's craftsmanship gets better and better, the dirty braids on Ye Qing's head are becoming more and more beautiful, and Ye Qing, who is staring at the bronze mirror, is also more and more satisfied with this hairstyle.

In the past few days, I have a general understanding of Xingqing Mansion, and the most memorable thing for Ye Qing is the wide moat outside the city, in Ye Qing's opinion, because of the moat, this Xingqing Mansion is completely a city that cannot be conquered.

Coupled with its important geographical location, "controlling Heshuo in the north, leading Qingliang in the south, and according to the upper reaches of the road, choking the key points in the west", it is no wonder that even if it is Temujin, there is not much way to take the Western Xia, and finally in the attack on the Western Xia and the hunting injury, he died in Zhongwei Liupan Mountain.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or providence, when Ye Qing and Temujin were separated from each other on the grassland, Temujin was indignant because of the Great Wall, and even quoted Ye Qing's sentence that he was not a hero if he didn't go to the Great Wall.

And the word "not a hero" who is not a hero on the Great Wall is what the great man did in Liupan Mountain, which makes Ye Qing, who is wandering in the streets and alleys of Xingqing Mansion, also have to sigh that the changes in the world may really have some laws that are difficult for human beings to understand.

When he returned to the Zhongwei Tea Shop, Xu Qing, who had followed the huge caravan in Shizuishan, finally appeared in the tea shop, and there was also a military judge who came with him.

After taking a sip of the tea of Lin'an New Tea that Ye Qing personally poured for him, Xu Qing began to say: "I found out clearly, the princess of Liao sent an envoy to Xia Kingdom, and it is said that she wants to marry Li Chunyou, the current prince of Xia Kingdom. ”

"Xiliao?" Ye Qing slowly leaned back in his chair, and several people present understood that the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Liao, when the Song Dynasty had not yet withdrawn from the Central Plains, the Liao people were the biggest sufferers of the Song Dynasty, and after the United Jin people drove out the Liao, the Jin people replaced them as the greater sufferers of the Song Court.

But what is a little ironic and unbelievable is that after the Song did not have a long memory and united with the Tatars to destroy the Jin, the Tatars replaced the Jin people and became the greater bitter masters of the Song court, and then died of the Song.

Ye Qing suddenly cried and laughed silently in the face of several people, this special Song Ting is simply a complete unlucky guy, he follows the eldest brother every day, and he will be beaten by the eldest brother every day, but even so, Song Ting seems to be really good and forgets the pain, such mistakes have been made one after another until the death of the country.

Such facts and historical processes made Ye Qing have to think, if the Tatars did not destroy the Song, but another force rose, would the Song court unite with the new force to destroy the Tatars together, and then replace himself with a more freshly baked bitter master?

The answer is that Song Ting will continue to persevere, heal the scars and forget the pain, and continue to renew himself one after another, until the last sentence: Who else!

But it's a pity that the development and change of things in the world has its unique iron law, only again and again, and there is no three and four and one and four, and Song Ting obviously does not have extremely strong tenacity, insisting on three and four and so on.

"Since the Jin people drove the Liao people to the border, we have no understanding of the Liao people, what should we do now?" Wu Juan was on the side, and the others didn't know what Ye Qing was laughing at inexplicably, so he had to talk about what he was thinking.

"For our Song court, the steppe of the Tatar people is too far away now, let alone the Liao people today." Ye Qing stopped thinking nonsense, and then Zhengse said: "But this has nothing to do with us, the will of the saint is also clear, what we have to do now is to let Han Daochong, the middle secretary of the Xia people, know that we have arrived at Xingqing Mansion, and let him take the initiative to find us safer." ”

"And who is that? Didn't you say that there was also a man mentioned in the decree? Zhao Qi'er asked.

"We don't know Jiao Jingyan well, and he didn't send us to the Great Song Dynasty, so we don't know about this person's heart. Han Daochong is different, I suspect that when he sent my envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, he had already secretly discussed this matter with the Shengshang, and now, the Shengshang also happened to take advantage of our detour to the Xia Kingdom, and simply fulfilled this collusion between the Song and Xia countries. Ye Qing's fingers began to tap on the table again.

"That'...... Is it good or bad for us? Old Liu asked with some concern.

"It should be advantageous." Ye Qing continued to tap on the table, and analyzed: "The territory occupied by the Xia people is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Jin people have no way to take him, but the Jin people's desire to conquer the Xia Kingdom is also known to everyone, so the enemy of the enemy is our friend, and once the Xia Kingdom weakens, it will give the Jin people an opportunity to take advantage of, but we can't take much advantage." ”

"Why?" Wu Juan asked.

"Because of the Qinling Huai River, it is difficult for us to cross, although if we cross, we can join forces with the Xia people to fight against Jin, but ...... Even if the result is that the Jin people are weak and defeated by the Song-Xia coalition army, I am afraid that the greatest benefit will be the eastward expansion of the territory of the Xia State, and our Song court is afraid that it will not be able to bargain, or it will retreat to the south of the Qinling Huai River, and it will also intensify the resentment of the Jin people against us. Ye Qing's fingers drew a line on the table, which should be the line of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains.

"Then why don't we take advantage of the Jinxia battle to raise troops to recover the lost territory in the Central Plains?" The fingers of the military judge drew circles further east of the Huai River line in the Qinling Mountains, in the rich Central Plains.

Ye Qing sighed helplessly, and then said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Because the Jin Kingdom has reduced our annual coins, the imperial court will accept it when it meets it, and it will not risk fighting with the Jin people again." What's more, all of this is based on the Jinxia war, and now the Holy Lord has chosen our Imperial City Division to secretly help the Xia people eradicate the ministers, which shows that the imperial court is already very satisfied with the idea of the Jin people reducing the New Year's currency and not wanting to make extraneous branches. Otherwise, it shouldn't be the Imperial City Division to do this, it should be Chengdu Mansion or Tongchuan Mansion, even if it is the pacification envoy of Lizhou Road who came to help the Xia people. ”

Ye Qing looked at a few people, and did not say that because Zhao Gou was still alive, now that the New Year's currency was reduced, Zhao Gou would no longer let the current saint send troops to attack Jin, unless it was a pot of porridge in the Jin Kingdom, maybe Zhao Gou would hesitate to regain the lost territory.

Otherwise, Zhao Gou is very happy to be in a corner of peace, while enjoying his old age and endless fun, while meddling in the court, pointing out the country, and feeling the beauty of power.

And what made Ye Qing feel even more helpless was that Zhao Yan, who could be regarded as a Ming Jun in history, turned out to be a short-sighted person, and now looking at the situation in front of him, since he let himself contact Han Daochong, it is enough to show that when Han Daochong was in Lin'an, Zhao Yan already knew that the Xia people wanted to get rid of Ren Dejing.

Otherwise, he would not have locked Ren Lei in the prison of the Imperial City Division for half a month, and beat Ren Lei on the royal street, Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan didn't react at all, and they were not afraid that Ren Dejing would send troops to attack Song because of this.

Ye Qing originally thought that Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan were not afraid of Xia Ren, so they didn't care about what they did to Ren Lei. But now it seems that this is because he has long known Ren Dejing's situation and situation in Xia Kingdom, so he will let himself be imprisoned and beaten violently.

Moreover, this can also explain why Ren Lei, who was in Lin'an, immediately got together with Qishi Lie Zhining as soon as he got out of the Imperial City Prison, obviously it was not that the smell was the same, but that Ren Lei asked for something.

After all, the dead Qishi Lie Zhining was also an arrogant person, how could he casually get together with a second ancestor like Ren Lei.

Now it seems that everything is that all forces are holding their own little Jiujiu in their arms, making suggestions for their own countries and striving for the greatest interests, but only Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan stupidly let go of the rare opportunity.

Otherwise, in Ye Qing's opinion, if he had learned about Ren Dejing earlier, then he himself would have more bargaining chips to negotiate with Wan Yan Yong when he was coerced to envoy to the Jin Kingdom, so that maybe even the uncle-nephew relationship between Song and Jin could be directly dispensed with by Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan.

But it's a pity that the great opportunity was easily given up by Zhao Gou and Zhao Yan, just to be able to secretly help the Xia people get rid of Ren Dejing, and to be able to conduct some trade with the Xia people to hide from the Jin people, no wonder Li Fengniang suddenly found herself and wanted to make money.
