Ye Qing now really knows what is the other reason why the wealthy Southern Song Dynasty, which was discussed and discussed in later generations, in addition to the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, which lasted from the founding of the country to the death of the country.

In the final analysis, it is the mentality of the Southern Song Dynasty court to pursue comfort, so that no one in the entire Southern Song Dynasty from top to bottom is willing to give up their comfort nest and fight desperately with the Jin people.

It can also be said that it is to protect the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty, or it can be said to prevent the people from being implicated in the war, but in any case, the comfort of the Southern Song Dynasty court and the mentality of not wanting to make progress are more important than the heavy literature and military suppression.

With the military judgment just came out of the Zhongwei Tea Shop, Ye Qing couldn't help but glance back at the top of his head, the eight big characters written in the Zhongwei Tea Shop, Han and Xia.

The reason why it was named Zhongwei Tea Shop at the beginning, Ye Qing just thought that Zhongwei was good, and it didn't give it much meaning, but now looking at the word Zhongwei and thinking about the place where Temujin died of illness, Ye Qing even admired his foresight a little, how could he come up with such a meaningful name, he was so talented.

The military judgment was not clear, so he looked at Ye Qing smirking at the eight words of Zhongwei Tea Shop, and then looked at the crowded street, a string of camels jingling the camel bells under the neck, and on the hump were either sitting merchants in various clothes, or carrying heavy goods, swaggering from the street, in the shouts of the merchants on their backs, they continued to move forward unhurriedly.

Lao Liu rushed out like a gust of wind, and handed a secret decree to Ye Qing again, saying: "I just got it, Xiaobao sent it over, and it was said that it was still written by the saint." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Qing took the secret decree and weighed it a little dazedly, and then, under the urging of the martial judge, he didn't even have time to look at it, and began to walk in the direction of Chengtian Temple.

Swaggering behind the camel team that had just passed, Ye Qing was not afraid of being in the Xingqing Mansion of Nuoda, and he happened to meet Ren Lei by chance, not to mention that he was still wearing dirty braids, it is estimated that even if he walked around, Ren Lei might not be able to recognize himself at first sight.

While strolling through the already familiar streets with Wu Ju, watching the busy caravans, camel caravans and merchants bargaining.

The difference in geography makes the merchants in various places have great differences, and the merchants who can be seen in Lin'an, in addition to the Song people, are the big cannibals or other foreigners in Southeast Asia.

In Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, as far as the eye can see, the merchants and ordinary people seen here are more national characteristics in Ye Qing's eyes.

In short, because of the different geographical locations, there are obvious differences in the trade between merchants, and the race and nationality of merchants.

Ye Qing handed the secret decree to the martial judge, who followed Ye Qing's footsteps and looked at it, and then asked in surprise: "Is it really playing this time?" In this way, the court is not all corrupt, there is still a glimmer of hope. ”

"Actually, what I want to know more is what is the hidden interest behind this decision." Ye Qing shrugged and said.

He is not as naïve as a military judge, especially when he first figured out that in Lin'an, Li Fengniang suddenly ignored his identity and status as the crown princess, and wanted to secretly cooperate with him in business.

"But no matter what interests are hidden, at least the court dares to take this step, since the failure of the Longxing Northern Expedition, the court is a lifeless look in my opinion, and now there are finally people who are willing to be so unafraid of the coercion of the Jin people, and dare to unite with the Western Xia to resist the Jin, no matter what, it is a good thing." Wu Juan said excitedly.

"It's a good thing, but whether it's for the benefit of the court or for your own benefit, can you tell clearly?" Ye Qing knocked on the name of the person on the secret decree and said.

"It's ......." Wu Juan was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to scratch his head and say, "Shaoqing, you have a good hairstyle." ”

"Get out." Ye Qing laughed, and then followed the pious good men and women to the Chengtian Temple.

The Western Xia Buddha is not worse than today's Eastern Land, and is even more fanatical.

Especially as the Buddhism of Tibet was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Western Xia, there were not a few people who held the prayer wheel in their hands and shook it.

But today is obviously not the usual day of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, there are many devout disciples who come to Chengtian Temple today, and everyone's expression seems to be much more pious than the last time Ye Qing and they surveyed the terrain.

After a while, the martial judge who ran over came to the eaves of a palace in Chengtian Temple, and looked at Ye Qingdao, who was squatting on the ground, bored and looking at the expressions of various devout disciples: "Master Geshe Suobu, the eldest disciple of Master Songchenpa of Tutu Chupo Monastery in Tibet, is giving a lecture here, so there are so many people today. ”

"Then it seems that Han Daochong is still very jealous of Ren Dejing, otherwise he would not have chosen to meet us in this place. Ren Dejing's power and fault should be power, which seems to be much, much bigger than what we have known in the past few days. Ye Qing continued to squat on the ground, holding a dead branch in his hand, now if it was in the Central Plains, the willow trees had already pulled out new shoots, but it was still a lifeless winter, and the long tail had not completely passed.

"You mean to say that Han Daochong is afraid that Ren Dejing will find out that they are colluding with us ......."

"What is this called collusion, or collusion? Will not use the words you! Don't forget, we are the one who is right. Ye Qing got up as he spoke, and then continued to wander around the Chengtian Temple with Wu Juan, waiting for when Han Daochong's people would come to the door.

And just as the two of them followed in the footsteps of other believers and walked deeper and deeper in the temple, in a half-opened window, Han Daochong saw Ye Qing in the crowd at a glance under the guidance of his subordinates.

As Ye Qing and Wu Juan followed Han Daochong's subordinates into the room like thieves, Han Daochong immediately took the lead in saluting with a smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a year, Ye Shaoqing's demeanor has not diminished, here I would like to congratulate Ye Shaoqing on his promotion." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhongshuling, and now I am also in the position of Zhongshuling, which is enough to see that Your Majesty relies on your lordship." Ye Qing smiled and saluted.

Then when Han Daochong's eyes looked at Wu Juan and several of Han Daochong's subordinates walked out of the room, Wu Juan nodded very consciously and walked out of the room with those subordinates.

The only two people left in the room sat down as guests of honor, and there were a few bright green tea leaves floating on the table, which were bought from the Song Dynasty at a glance.

"Taste your country." Han Daochong laughed.

"Lord Han has a heart, thank you." Ye Qing smiled and raised his glass, according to the extremely elegant way of drinking tea in the Southern Song Dynasty literati, first sniffed and then tasted and then smacked the taste, and then put down the teacup and said two poems about tea, or tasted whether this tea was new or old tea, etc.

Following Bai Da Mei in the small courtyard in his spare time, he used tea to kill time, naturally, after Bai Da Meiren's training, Ye Qing is now barely half a tea ceremony master.

That is, to fool the Tangut people or other people, but if it is in Jiangnan, Ye Qing's tea theory, all he can get is the white eyes and refutation of other literati and ink writers.

I don't know if Han Daochong really didn't have a thorough research, or in order to give Ye Qing face, in short, after Ye Qing talked about tea, Han Daochong gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Shaoqing is really a master of this way." ”

"Awards, awards." Ye Qing said with a smile.

Then in the next second, Han Daochong's expression became serious, and he said slowly: "Ye Shaoqing must have already seen what the old man's intention was in asking you to meet here." So the old man got straight to the point and asked Ye Shaoqing to tell the old man, what is the sincerity of your country in this matter? ”

"Your country has a little sincerity to give me the Song court, and my Song Dynasty will give back a little sincerity to your country. Presumably, when Lord Han heard this, he would think that what Ye said was the same as what he didn't say, right? Ye Shaoqing picked up the teapot and measured it calmly, and after putting it down, he continued: "But what Ye said is the truth, in addition to hoeing and punishing evil, what benefits does your country want to get?" Is it true that my Great Song Dynasty is among them, and I can really get benefits? It won't be a waste of water in the end, right? ”

"My Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom has always admired the culture of your country, this is not a secret to your country, there are several envoys sent to your country by His Majesty every year, this must be known to Ye Shaoqing. I emulate your country everywhere, whether it is the official system or the people's feelings, Your Majesty thinks that your country is the best gentleman in my Great Xia country. Han Daochong was also playing Tai Chi with Ye Qing, obviously, he didn't want to easily promise Song Ting any benefits and promises.

After all, although the Song court agreed to this when he sent an envoy to Lin'an last year, in the end, they did not see the Song court send any people along the border between the two countries to support Great Xia, showing their determination to fight against Jin together with Great Xia.

On the contrary, he sent a new Shaoqing of Dali Temple to come here, which made Han Daochong a little dissatisfied with Song Ting's actions, could it be that they thought that relying on a small Shaoqing of Dali Temple, could they let Ren Dejing and other friends be arrested?

If it was so easy, the Great Xia Emperor would not have been entangled for so long, and he would not have been forced by Ren Dejing to divide the country and become the emperor, so he began to make up his mind to eradicate Ren Dejing, a courtier, even if it was a ruin.

Ye Qing looked at Han Daochong and smiled, his fingers moved unconsciously from the edge of the cup to the table, and after the rhythmic tapping made Han Daochong's gaze move over, Ye Qing said: "Although I am only a small Shaoqing of Dali Temple, in order to let Lord Han see the sincerity of my Great Song Dynasty, I can tell Lord Zhongshu Ling very responsibly that no matter how your country eradicates traitors, my Great Song Dynasty will follow and will try my best to cooperate with your country." Isn't it sincere enough to risk entering your country? Master Han, don't forget, there are grievances between me and some people, as long as the adults shout, Ye can immediately be in a different place. So whether it's me Da Song or Ye, this sincerity should be enough, right? ”
