1176 Doctrine Trading
Ye Qing's short words not only made Xie Daoqing, Xu Han, Jia She and others stunned, but especially Mu Huali, Qiu Chuji, Ogedei and Shu Chi, and even opened their eyes wide.
Just a few words were shocking, and the remarks and thoughts that the king's power was supreme made Mu Huali and others have to think and weigh the pros and cons of the Mongolian country's pros and cons.
The pleasure boat slowly moved in the middle of the lake. On the terrace on the second floor, the originally light music like flowing water stopped.
Should the royal power be the supreme power of the world, and should the divine power be over the royal power by its will? Which one is better and who is wrong and who is right? Obviously, for Mu Huali and others, this is a completely problem that they have never considered.
Should the orthodox of the royal power be verified by the divine power or by the classics and the royal power themselves be verified by the contradictory question and contradictory question.
After a long silence, Mu Huali watched Ogedei suddenly raise his wine glass and drink it all, and stood up to salute Ye Qing more respectfully than before, and said, "I don't know what the King of Yan thinks should?"
"The prosperity and wealth of the Song Dynasty is definitely not because of the divine power and granting the monarchy power, but because: all under the world is the king's land, and all the land is the ultimate truth of the king's ministers. No matter whether you are a Buddha or a Taoist, a god or a demon, since you are in the territory of the Song Dynasty, you should respect the king's power! How can you be above the king's power and let it manipulate?" Ye Qing once again used the prosperity and wealth of Lin'an as an example. Naturally, this is more convincing.
"Well, I don't know... If the King of Yan thought that the kingdom of kingdom was supreme, how should my great Mongolia conquer Tubo?" Shu Chi frowned. At this moment, he could no longer talk in front of Ye Qing with a proud attitude.
Whether it is Shuchi or Ogedei, although they are now considering the issue from the perspective of the Great Mongolian Kingdom, deep down in their hearts, they think more about whether they are willing to obey the so-called constraints of the master on themselves after inheriting the position of Khan.
The answer is obviously unwilling. Whether it is Shuchi or Ogedei, he naturally hopes that when they inherit the position of the Great Khan, everything in the Great Mongolian Kingdom will be decided by them. Naturally, everyone should obey their orders. Naturally, they are unwilling. There is another person above their heads or next to them, or sharing their rights.
"Of course there is a solution, but..." Ye Qing said slowly.
"As long as the method of King Yan is indeed feasible, Basiba is not a problem." Ogedei was obviously more decisive than Shu Chi, and he made a promise to Ye Qing immediately.
Ye Qing's method is actually very simple, it is just copying the historical method of changing land and returning to the current state. This is not a difficult task for the powerful Mongolians today, but for the Song court, at least at the moment, he does not have such strength for the time being.
The administration of the north has already made Ye Qing furious, and there are no more capable officials entering Ye Qing's eyes. If he wants to implement land transformation in Tubo, it will be as difficult as Ye Qing.
Although the so-called "using barbarians to control barbarians" is a traditional system in Tubo today, for Ye Qing, using Mongolian barbarians to control Tubo's barbarians is like a gradual and excessive process. After the Mongols baptized and destroyed the Tubo system, the Song court entered the pruning of branches and leaves was not only a solution to twice the result with half the effort, but also a strategy to strive for Tubo to achieve a perfect system in the short term.
Ye Qing said that he was dry mouth and saliva flying. Ogedei, Shu Chi or Mu Huali were all very serious and focused. Even Qiu Chuji had to admire that what Ye Qing said was indeed a good way to fundamentally solve the problem of conquering Tubo, and more importantly, he did not have to be controlled by Tubo Buddhism.
However, naturally, from Qiu Chuji's standpoint and perspective, it means that whether it is their Quanzhen religion or Tubo 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. Instead, they will form a belief that is based on the Chinese national tradition and allow the people to choose or even abandon at any time.
In the final analysis, under Ye Qing's law, there will only be a belief that survives under the royal power. Seeing the royal face of the royal family and accepts the people's worship and abandonment, it is impossible to fundamentally share the right to the royal family, and it is impossible to be on an equal footing with the royal family.
It will form an existence like business. Survival and decline depend on themselves to maintain it with the people, and at the same time, it will also face the challenges of Confucianism that have been passed down for thousands of years. Therefore, the final result is to completely pull their so-called preachers from the position of God to the position of man. Without that mystery and respect, the royal power will become the common law and common ruler of them and the people.
"The King of Yan's move...is not just for the sake of sweating, right?" Although Mu Huali couldn't hear any secret behind Ye Qing's sincere strategy, he always felt that with Ye Qing's personality, he was definitely not someone who could easily help others.
What's more, the relationship between Meng and Song is so subtle now that Ye Qing will really give up. Is he simply giving advice for the Khan?
After Mu Huali's reminder, Ogedei's heart was also slightly shocked. He immediately followed Mu Huali's words and asked: "But I don't know why King Yan wants Basiba?"
"Basiba is the condition, just to make you believe me. Of course, if you do not agree to give me Basiba, it is not impossible to replace other conditions. As for..." Ye Qing's eyes swept over the suspicious Mu Huali and Ogedei, and then said lightly: "Listen or not is your business, and whether to say or not is my business. Although the time between me and Temujin is different, I don't want to see that Temujin has fought in the south for so many years and has worked hard to unify the grassland tribe.
The Great Mongolian Kingdom, which was later established, finally became the right in the hands of a monk. If I were a Mongolian warrior, one day, I would rather believe Temujin as a god than a monk as a god. Mongols should have their own beliefs, such as wolves, deer, or others, but if they leave all of these behind and instead devote themselves to a Buddhist monk who can control your will, is Temujin really willing?"
"How about we give you Basiba's head?" Shu Chi's eyes flashed with cold light. She seemed to be big and thick like a reckless man, but she was also meticulous.
If you suggest giving Basiba's head to Ye Qing, you will naturally have his own concern. That is, once what Ye Qing said is feasible, then Basiba will undoubtedly not be as important to them as it is now.
And if Ye Qing's strategy is not feasible in Tubo, it will not be too late for them to reuse Basiba again.
So Ye Qing pointed out that he wanted Basiba, which may mean that Basiba still has something to do. So in order not to let Ye Qing benefit from Basiba, wouldn’t it be more in line with the interests of Mongolia to give Ye Qing a dead Basiba?
"You can keep the heads for yourself. Although I am not a vegetarian, I am not a random killing of innocent people. Since you have asked you to give me Basiba and give you some concerns, then maybe..."
"The King of Yan probably made the wrong plan. We will not hand over it, whether it is Basiba or Yelu Sibu." Mu Huali instantly guessed Ye Qing's intention to retreat as a step forward, and immediately refused.
"Since that's the case, I have no conditions." Ye Qing shrugged her shoulders directly, and her abnormal attitude made Mu Huali unbelievable.
"The King of Yan... No, the King of Yan means all the conditions..."
"Yes, the two countries have been friendly for generations and will never fight for enemies again. I promise you." Ye Qing said frankly.
Now even Shu Chi was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Qing in surprise, and then looked at Mu Huali again, obviously waiting for Mu Huali to make a decision.
Looking at the hesitant expressions of the few people, Ye Qing smiled casually, and then waved as Xu Han, who had been paying attention to them, was not far away.
Xu Han, who was running over in small steps, came to Ye Qing, took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Ye Qing, and returned to his original place without looking back.
Ye Qing took the dense paper, flipped it casually and said, "I have ordered people to plan the so-called strategy of changing the land and returning to the current situation. Whether it is willing to obey or not, that is all Temujin's business. But no matter what, I hope you must hand it over to Temujin's hands. How about it?"
Mu Huali looked at the thick stack of papers, which were densely filled with Song people's words. He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I promised the King of Yan that he would definitely hand it to Dahan's hands."
"It's not just these, these are just the essence of my excerpt. If Temujin wanted to avoid being controlled by Tubo Buddhism and could completely conquer Tubo, there were naturally some books and classics recorded by the Chinese nation about Tubo in the early years, and these would probably help you consolidate everything in Tubo and find more strategies that would benefit you from governing Tubo." Ye Qing was naturally referring to the two large boxes of Central Plains books in today's carriage.
Ye Qing's generous and magnanimous nature was obviously completely beyond the expectations of Mu Huali and others. 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 would not think about what the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, not to mention that as Ye Qing said, as they saw the scene they saw along the way south, the prosperous and prosperous northern land, especially the several important cities that were passed by, such as Chang'an, Yangzhou, Lin'an and other places, were even more prosperous and unbelievable. Therefore, because of their own eyes, they were not worried that Ye Qing would be interested in Tubo, which was much more barren than the Song court.
Naturally, Ye Qing's real purpose was covered by the prosperity and prosperity of the Song Dynasty cities such as Lin'an, and also by the barren scene of Tubo, making it more inclined to Ye Qing's so-called strategy of changing the land and returning to the current to conquer Tubo, rather than to conquer Tubo with Basiba as his master.
When the pleasure boat was on the shore, Ye Qing's carriage slowly drove over. Two large boxes of so-called various Chinese classics selected by Ye Qing were placed on the carriages of Mu Huali and others.
When Ye Qing separated from several people, he did not forget to remind them. If he felt it was not enough, he could tell me that I could send someone to help you search for 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 asked, "Will they really believe it?"
"There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book. The various tribes on the grassland have just been unified by Temujin for a while. Although they are powerless and powerful, the rest are not much different from before. If they know the glorious past of the Chinese nation and the intersection between the Chinese nation and the grassland for thousands of years, they will naturally be more inclined to us. As for those books... when they are useless, no one will read them, but if they tell them there are strategies that can help them conquer Tubo, the Mongols will definitely read them..."
"Can they understand?" Xie Daoqing said suspiciously.
"There are many talented people around Temujin. Even Qiu Chuji is one, but after losing to Basiba, his status in Mongolia plummeted. Now that he has these classics, Qiu Chuji has a place to use it, Temujin will naturally look at him differently again. But whether it is successful or not, this is
Temujin's own ambition and whether Basiba is really wiser than I thought." Ye Qing sighed slightly. He knew very little about Basiba, but he also knew that the reason why Basiba was trusted and valued by the Mongols and even made the Mongols regard him as his master must be of extraordinary significance.
Looking at Ye Qing's serious look, Jia She said unconsciously: "Actually, I think there is no need to be so much trouble. If I talk about eloquence, I will not think that I, the literati of the Song Dynasty, would lose to those barbarians. Just King Yan, you just send a few famous scholars such as Zhu Xi. Not to mention one Ba Siba, even eight Ba Siba may not be an opponent. Isn't it easier than doing this for so many twists and turns?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, and Xu Han next to him applauded: "Yes, if you recommend a few Confucian scholars to Temujin, do you still have to worry about that Basiba?"
"Do you think Temuzhen is short of Confucian scholars? There are many Han scholars among the Liao, Jin and Xia. Although the Jin Kingdom has never been affected by the Mongols, some of the Han people in Xia and Liao are still not short of Temuzhen. But why Basiba is more valued than them, in addition to the relationship between Tubo, it is also because of the essence of Buddhist scriptures. It is not because of how good the essence of Buddhist scriptures is, it can attract the attention of Mongolians, but because among the nations where the wisdom of the people is completely unrealized, the people are more willing to believe in the words of gods, ghosts, Buddhas and demons, and to be reborn in the Pure Land. Aren't you the same?"
Xie Daoqing, Xu Han and Jia She were silent. Indeed, when they encountered some strange things, they were willing to think about ghosts and gods at the first time.
Just like Ye Qing deliberately made mysterious ghost fire at night when he was breaking the camp in Yanjing, almost all the soldiers of the Hua family who followed Ye Qing to the breaking camp were panicked for several days. However, when Ye Qing unveiled the mysterious veil and the truth was revealed, all the soldiers suddenly realized, and finally calmed the breaking camp again.
Although it was just a small prank, it can be seen from it that even the Hua family army with powerful force often associates with gods and ghosts when facing incomprehensible affairs. For the more backward Tubo and Mongols, no matter what happens on the grassland, they are more willing to believe in the explanation of the so-called enlightened monks' response to heaven and man.
Often, no matter which doctrine it is, when preaching, people often use their curiosity and respect for the affairs of gods and ghosts to make some stories of gods and ghosts to make people believe that the mysterious things that people in this world cannot understand and crack are all because the nothingness above the head is at work and are hinting to people.
Therefore, once the preachers become messengers of God, after gaining the trust and respect of the people, they will often use strange affairs more and use their own knowledge to educate the world. The ultimate goal is naturally not to start from the interests of the people of the world, but to maintain the respect of their doctrines as the most basic interest, so that they can always live a life of worship by people.
Just as secular rights are unextinguishable, standing in the position of God and accepting worship from the people is also a very fulfilling thing.
When the carriage returned to Lin'an, it was already hazy in the night. It had just stopped in front of the Xie Mansion, and Xie Shenfu's sedan also walked slowly from another direction.
The carriage with the king's logo was noticed as soon as Xie Shenfu got out of the sedan chair. Seeing Xie Daoqing jumping off the carriage, and being unable to part with Ye Qing, who was poking his head out, Xie Shenfu's originally calm and majestic expression immediately became extremely solemn.
At Ye Qing's instructions, Xie Daoqing lowered his head and bowed to Xie Shenfu in a hurry, and then quickly ran back to the mansion.
Xie Shenfu looked at Xie Daoqing's back rushing back to the mansion, sighed slightly, then walked to Ye Qing's carriage and saluted, and said, "Sir Xie Shenfu has seen the King of Yan."
"It's not in the court at this time, so Lord Xie doesn't have to be so polite." Ye Qing did not get off the carriage, but still leaned his head out of the window and said to Xie Shenfu.
"Then I'll thank King Yan." Xie Shenfu took a deep breath, and finally asked directly: "Does King Yan... do you have any intention of the granddaughter of the lower official?"
"I met by chance today, so I happened to make an appointment to visit West Lake. Why did Lord Xie think so?" Ye Qing was slightly stunned. He didn't feel that he had shown his love for Xie Daoqing.
Xie Shenfu looked a little bitter and said, "The King of Yan said that today was a chance encounter, so I guess I wouldn't have met by chance at He Ningmen that day, right?"
"What does Lord Xie mean?" Ye Qing no longer concealed his feelings for Xie Shenfu, so he simply admitted it and asked.
"I'm afraid my granddaughter can't compete with such a great family as the King of Yan, and the wives of the Prince of Yan's mansion are all as beautiful as flowers. Although Daoqing is beautiful,... I'm afraid he can't compete with the ladies in terms of beauty. So... the officials also hope that the King of Yan can be proud and let Daoqing go." Xie Shenfu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and his expression was much calmer than before.
"I wonder if Lord Xie has asked what Daoqing meant?" Ye Qing frowned slightly and stared at Xie Shenfu and asked.
"The parents ordered the matchmaker to say that the officials could not make decisions about this matter. I guess their parents would need to choose a son-in-law for him. But no matter what, the officials really dare not compete with the family of King Yan. I hope the King of Yan will forgive him." Xie Shenfu saluted Ye Qing again, then turned around and walked into the mansion.
