Chapter 307 Mystery
Looking at Ye Qing and the people next to him, and among the banned soldiers of the Imperial City Division, more than a dozen Xia people dressed up in big clothes, with rags stuffed in their mouths, and were heading forward.
"Stop." Princess Xin shouted to the coachman.
Weiwei lifted the curtains more, and his eyes looked back as Ye Qing and others moved. Seeing that Ye Qing had never looked at the carriage in the royal palace from beginning to end, Princess Xin had a nervous heartbeat after meeting Ye Qing by chance.
As the palace maid in the carriage poked her head out and said a few words to the coachman, the coachman jumped off the shaft and started to ask everyone in the alley, what happened just now and what those people did.
The princess in the carriage, until Ye Qing and others' backs had disappeared, still lifted the curtain and looked at the direction of the corner.
As the coachman quickly came over, even if Princess Xin didn't speak, the coachman had already saluted and said, "The Xia people suddenly broke into the mansion of Lord Li, the Minister of Works, today, and it is said that it was related to the prince of the Shangshu, so they fought to Li Shangshu's mansion and started a military conviction."
"The Xia people fought at the Shangshu Mansion and started a riot to question?" Princess Xin frowned. The Song Dynasty was often called the weak Song Dynasty by the people, but when, in addition to the Jin people, even the Xia people dared to bully officials of the Song Dynasty in this way, and Li Dao, the Minister of Works, who was about to become a royal relative.
"Who are those people who just passed by? The Xia people who were tied up in many ways, but the Xia people who made trouble in Lord Li's mansion?" Princess Xin continued to ask.
"The one who passed by was from the Imperial City Department, and it is unclear who was small, but... it is said that the Xia people were causing trouble at the house of Lord Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, and were taken down by the Imperial City Department." The coachman dared not say that he felt relieved when he saw it, so he could only answer the words of the Princess Xin in a normal manner.
"That should be the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, at least Lin'an Prefecture, Qiantang County is here to take care of this matter. What's the matter with the Imperial City Department coming to take people?" Princess Xin looked at the corner where Ye Qing's back disappeared again, and inexplicably said that the coachman and the palace maid in the carriage could not understand "nosse business" and then signaled the carriage to go home.
From the stables of the Imperial City Department, Mo Xiaobao took out two Daxia horses and handed them to Ye Qing. The two were about to go to West Lake to meet with Bai Chun and others, and the sound of Lin Guangchao came from behind.
"Sir, are you sure you want to do this hard work? The envoy of Xia State, but!" Lin Guangchao asked with some anxiety in his heart at this time.
"A timid, when you came out of Li Dao's mansion just now, didn't you say it was so satisfying? Why did you change your mind after a while? Are you scared?" Ye Qing said, holding the horse and stroking the gentle horse's head.
"This... I was not afraid just now, but afterwards I always felt... after all, I was an envoy of Xia State, if I had been locked up..."
"Don't worry, Li Dao and others are indecisive and unable to see the interests clearly because they are looking forward to the front. Did you not understand clearly? It's really a waste of time to be the commander of the Imperial City Department." Ye Qing jumped on the horse, not explaining like Lin Guangchao, who had a strong desire to seek knowledge.
"Okay, whether it's alive or alive, anyway, if there is an adult, the commander, then I, Lin Guangchao, will not be afraid." Lin Guangchao simply said alone, and then watched Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao ride away.
There were not many people in the alley of Wuyi Lane where the Imperial City Department was located, so the two of them were still relatively fast. It was not until they rushed to the Imperial Street and rode on the two docile Daxialiang horses that they could truly experience what the crowded and bustling Lin'an scene was.
The sedan chair meets the sedan chair, the carriage and the carriage are not giving in to each other, and the pedestrians walk freely like needles, the gentle young man, the gentle woman, and the endless prosperity of Lin'an, which is at a glance at this moment.
The vendors shouted vigorously, and the shops on both sides were also hung high with big red lanterns. On the entire Yu Street, there was no end to the end. In addition to the shops emitting a festive atmosphere on both sides, there were festive heads and flowers swaying in front of them, just like the bustling pedestrian streets and commercial streets in later generations.
The two of them rode in the crowd for a while, and they couldn't get the Daxia Liang horse under their crotch to run, so they had to change to the alley and go around the nearest city gate.
"Sir, I figured it out." Mo Xiaobao followed Ye Qing and suddenly said loudly excitedly.
"What did you understand?" Ye Qing lowered his upper body on the horse's back, and relied on his skillful riding skills to drive the Daxia horse and quickly turned to another alley.
Mo Xiaobao was not showing weakness either. He stepped on the stirrups on his toes and pulled the reins with his hands. He quickly turned over as he imitated Ye Qing, and said excitedly: "Actually, you have caught the Xia people. The Jin people should be too happy, right? "
"Tell me your reasons." Seeing the two sedans in front walking side by side, Ye Qing could only slow down.
Mo Xiaobao sorted out his thoughts and said, "According to the summary of Sister Lan'er's summary, the Xia people came to my Song Dynasty this time, and they should discuss the matter with the Ministry of Revenue. Because the Jin people were angry and imprisoned the two countries. The Emperor of Daxia was at a loss now and wanted to use this envoy to me, Dasong, to discuss the matter. But obviously, the Jin people could not watch my Song Dynasty get along well with the Xia people, and they also skip the Jin Kingdom to carry out the market trade, so the Jin people were eager to see me, Dasong and the Xia people get along with each other. In short, according to Sister Lan'er's news, you arrested the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, and maybe the Supreme Emperor will scold you, but even if the Xia Kingdom put pressure on my Song Dynasty, my Song Dynasty will definitely not blame you because the Jin people will not interfere in this matter. Is he a lord?"
"That's about that. I didn't expect Lin Guangchao to see it clearly, but you saw the clue. The Jin people closed the town of Xia, obviously punishing Xia. Although the jewelry was given on the surface, the Jin people had plundered the precious jade and other things of the Song Dynasty royal family, so this was just an excuse. In the final analysis, the conflict between Jin and Xia was still after the death of the Jin Kingdom after Wanyan Liang and after Wanyan Yong ascended the throne, Xia Kingdom wanted to take advantage of this to escape the control of the Jin Kingdom, so he did not recognize the orthodox nature of Wanyan Yong's inheritance of the position of Emperor Jin Kingdom. However, he did not want to be scared by the Jin people and the Tatars. He had to pinch his nose and admit that Wanyan Yong, the Jin Emperor, was the emperor of Jin Kingdom. So now, the Xia people should be the result of their own." Ye Qing smiled and looked at the two sedan chairs in front of him and began to urge the horse to move forward quickly.
"Then...when that's the case, can we get any benefits?" Mo Xiaobao blinked his bright big eyes and glanced at the three-character Wulin Gate on the city gate.
"There is no benefit to us for the time being. Some benefits are hidden in the long run. Although the Jin Kingdom has great power, it can be seen that it is at the end of its strength. It is even worse than our Song Dynasty. So, in a few years, the court should take the opportunity to create some friction and conflicts between the Jin and Xia countries, and then we can take advantage of the Jin people's attention to the Xia Kingdom and take the opportunity to recover the northern land." Ye Qing smiled, but he soon couldn't laugh.
