After Gao Shouchang's explanation, Ye Qing realized that the lake in Gaofu in front of him was only larger than the lake in front of Zhaogou Palace in Linde Shou Palace, and the water in the lake was completely derived from the spring water on the back mountain, creating this magnificent lake.

The house where Ye Qing and others lived was by the lake. In addition to the occasional mosquitoes flying by, they were elegant and profound, with a style that was quite popular with the Song Dynasty literati.

Gao Shouchang waved his subordinates back, and Ye Qing also signaled Zhao Qier to go down first. After only the two of them were left in the hall, Gao Shouchang's smile showed more enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye has worked hard all the way, a little care, I hope Lord Ye should not be surprised."

A silver note that was universal in the Song Dynasty was pushed to Ye Qing from the table. Looking at the eye-catching ten thousand taels on it, Ye Qing smiled and shook his head, and then said: "As the saying goes, "God is not only a reward without any merit. I am afraid that it is not only a plea to the hard work, right?"

Seeing that Ye Qing did not take the silver notes, he just looked at the words on it with interest. How could Gao Shouchang not know? Since he did not refuse, it could only explain one problem, one is not enough.

"Looking at how old Lord Ye is, he is already at a high position in the Shangguo Kingdom. This time he is deeply trusted by the emperor. At such an age, he is so bad at Dali. Gao admires and envies me. When Gao was so old, he did not have such talent as Lord Ye." Gao Shouchang smiled and continued to stretch out his hand. Two ten thousand taels of silver bills were placed on the first silver bill.

"Mr. Gao must have known me a lot about the Song Dynasty court, so I must know that there is a saying that if you lose your wife and your army, right?" Ye Qing still didn't reach out, but just continued to look at the silver bill with interest.

Looking at Ye Qing's eyes quietly staring at him, his words were quite meaningful. Obviously, in addition to referring to the silver notes in front of him, he also intended to refer to what happened to Wu Long.

"Since that's the case, then what if I don't say secret words?" Gao Shouchang said to Ye Qing.

"I hope to hear it carefully." Ye Qing nodded and smiled.

Since Gao Shouchang personally sent him to the other courtyard and asked his servants to go down and then talked to him alone, Ye Qing was not difficult to imagine that Han Tuozhou's side is probably almost the same as his situation.

"Then Gao is not polite. I want to ask Lord Ye, what is the real purpose of his mission to Dali this time? If I just participated in the abdication of my Emperor Dali, how could Gao care about what Lord Ye said to have compensated his wife and soldier? Of course, if Lord Ye and the three adults had more than this, I would like to ask Lord Ye for advice. Lord Ye thought how long could Duan, who has always been to Buddha, last?" Gao Shouchang was not vague and said directly.

"So, Master Gao intends to imitate his ancestors..." Ye Qing looked at Gao Shouchang with a smile, and added two more to the three silver notes. Obviously, this was to kill himself with silver, or because of the wealth of the Song Dynasty today, outsiders would think that the values ​​of the officials of the Song Dynasty had completely lost their integrity, leaving only the word "money".

"Mr. Ye was joking. Emperor Zhengde had to take the position of emperor because of the prosperity of my Dali Dynasty for the past century. At that time, Duan was unpopular, and all the officials in the court had complaints about Duan. If the throne was allowed to continue to be inherited by Duan, I was afraid that my Dali Dynasty would be divided into seven at that time. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde had to face the difficulties and thus preserved it.

The continuous extension of the Dali Dynasty has made our Dali Dynasty still stable and not successfully divided by those who are determined. When Emperor Zhengde was a hundred years old, he left a will to return the country to the Duan family. I believe Lord Ye should be able to see that my Gao family, as a member of Dali, has always held an important position in the prime minister, but he has always been a minister. Otherwise, he would not have returned the throne to Duan family back then." Gao Shouchang explained to Ye Qing sincerely.

"Emperor Zhengde is so noble that it is admirable." Ye Qing looked at Gao Shouchang, who was about 40 or 50 years old in front of him, and then said, "So since that's the case, please forgive me for being stupid, and Gao Da has been adding silver bills to comfort me. What is this mean?"

"The wise man does not say secret words, please forgive Gao for saying frankly: Duan Zhengxing has been devoted to Buddhism over the years, which has caused the court to be insufficiency. Both the people and officials have complained a lot. The prince Duan Zhixing, as the prince, does not want to serve the country and the people, just like Duan Zhengxing, only seeks Buddhism and has no country in his heart. The two have made no achievements in the government over the years, but the large and large temples, including the Wuhua Building, which placed the Tripitaka, have built a total of more than 60 temples over the years. Dali is a small country, far from the wealthy country, and it is far from the Shang Dynasty. Dali cannot afford it. If the prince who is dedicated to the Buddha inherits the throne, how can I ask the envoys, my Dali country still have a day to be rich and strong in the people?" Gao Shouchang, who was worried about the country and the people, was still sincere, and even said with some grief and anger.

"The emperor abdicates the throne and the prince succeeds to the throne. Of course, Lord Gao and his brother want to..." Ye Qing asked tentatively.

Gao Shouchang's majestic face was full of righteousness. He looked at Ye Qing silent for a while, as if he was struggling with something, and finally sighed: "Mr. Ye, Duan Zhixing is not the king of Dali! But... Even so, the Gao family would not have the intention to be dissatisfied, and Gao had no intention of ascending to the great treasure. Gao said this. As a minister of the king, Lord Ye must be able to understand the helplessness and grief in the hearts of the ministers when the king is not the king."

"Your silver notes..." Ye Qing picked up the silver notes and shouted at Gao Shouchang's back who was snatching the door.

But Gao Shouchang's slightly sad, angry and lonely back ignored Ye Qing's shouting, and disappeared from the lakeside in a short while.

Looking at the silver notes on the table, Ye Qing was rarely immersed in Gao Shouchang's words. Although Gao Shouchang's words could not touch his heart, he had to admit that when a king had no country and the sufferings of the people in his heart, he would rather blindly seek Buddha and ask for advice, such a king might not be in his position.

But is Gao Shouchang really so simple about worrying about the country and the people?

Obviously not. From Gao Shousheng's tone, you can feel that of course he does not have such ambition, but what about his brother Gao Shousheng?

Shortly after Gao Shouchang left, Shi Miyuan and Han Tuozhou came over. Looking at the faces of the two, they were obviously dealt with by the same method. I just don’t know what these two ministers who were labeled as slandered in history books would feel at this moment.

"Looking at the faces of the two adults, I guess I have heard a passionate tragic song from the Gao family?" Ye Qing did not hide the 50,000 taels of silver notes on the table, and sat there openly and said.

Shi Miyuan saw the silver notes on the table at first sight, and then looked at Ye Qing, while Han Tuozhou was the opposite, looking at Ye Qing first, and then looking at the silver notes.

"There is a difference between the king and the minister. The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Han sees it. This is just a statement of usurping the throne by the Gao family, and it is not worthy of trust." Han Tuozhou said.

Shi Miyuan nodded first, looked at Ye Qing's gaze that looked at him with a smile, and then shook his head, saying, "The king has no suffering in his heart, and it is not the way to be a king. However, the Gao family has been in charge for many years. Has he fulfilled the responsibilities of a minister? It is hard to say."

"So what do you mean by the two adults? Just accept the silver notes?" Ye Qing picked up the silver notes on the table and asked Yang Yang.

Han Tuozhou's eyes looked strange at this time. He looked at the silver notes raised in Ye Qing's hand and suddenly asked, "How many are you?"

"Five cards, what's wrong? Are you too many?" Ye Qing held the silver notes and asked inexplicably.

"My young man, three Zhangs." Han Tuozhou's face turned dark and he said in a deep voice.

"So, it's because they are interested..." Ye Qing asked with a smile in his hand.

"No, it was Gao Shouzhen who had not finished speaking, so I drove him out. I couldn't stand such a arrogant and arrogant person." Han Tuozhou groaned.

However, Shi Miyuan took out a total of seven silver notes from his arms, then looked at the silver notes in his hands, and asked them to hand them over to him, and after returning to Lin'an, they would hand them over to the emperor for a verdict.

Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's hand asking for the silver bill, smiled, and then put the silver bill in his arms without any face, saying, "I will leave it to the emperor to make a decision after I go back. As for you, there is no way, I don't trust you."

Han Tuozhou also put the silver notes in his arms, not even paying attention to Shi Miyuan.

As if he had known the result for a long time, Shi Miyuan snorted and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, please don't forget after you return to Lin'an. And..." Shi Miyuan, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at the two sitting peacefully, took out as majestic as possible and said, "Although the court sent three of us on envoys, the head of the envoy was me, Shi, so now I have arrived in Dali. Everything should be based on me. Please do not make any promises to others by the Song Dynasty court."

After saying that, Shi Miyuan left without looking back, leaving Ye Qing, who was still smiling and Han Tuozhou, who was full of disdain on his face.

"Mr. Shi is keeping his back to eat alone. Tsk tsk, it seems that he doesn't even intend to pay attention to his eating behavior." Ye Qing shook his head and said.

"It seems that he intends to not leave these silver bills. He wants these silver bills to block our mouths from Lin'an and the emperor." Han Tuozhou said with a sneer.

"Then what are you going to do?" Ye Qing asked suddenly without hesitation.

"I want to hear your thoughts." Han Tuozhou sneered again and said, "As for my thoughts... I'm afraid I'll fall off the chair."

"The two brothers of the Gao family did not intend to usurp the throne. Obviously, they were laying the groundwork for the next generation. What Duan can think of now is just how to let the prince sit on the throne, which is always a step behind the Gao family." Ye Qing said with one hand on the table and leaning on his chin.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Han Tuozhou asked in surprise. He really didn't expect that Ye Qing would actually get the inside story he wanted to know from the conversation with others.

"I am not your Han Tuozhou. No one dares to ignore it. He waves his hand away if he doesn't like it. But I heard it from beginning to end, and then he took the initiative to say goodbye." Ye Qing said with a smile. At this time, he gradually realized that Gao Shouchang had left angrily, afraid that he realized that he was not easy to deal with, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

But even so, Ye Qing still realized the Gao family's ambition, that is, they did not intend to let any of the two brothers Gao Shouzhen and Gao Shouchang usurp the throne and ascend to the throne, and... they even had made plans to let Duan Zhixing as the throne.

Because their goal is... Duan Zhilian! The one they want to support is one of the grandsons who are high-quality!

"It's broken, maybe Shi Miyuan will take advantage of a big loophole." Ye Qing's expression was shocked and he looked straight at Han Tuozhou.

"You mean that Shi Miyuan would agree to conspire with the Gao family for the sake of money, and this happened to be the future plan of the Gao family?" Han Tuozhou stared at Ye Qing and asked, "So don't mean that Shi Miyuan can easily not offend both sides, and can make a lot of money? It's not just the money of the seven silver notes?"

"We are envoys after all. When we arrived in Dali, we watched Duan Zhengxing abdicate as a monk, Duan Zhixing ascended the throne and became emperor, Duan Zhilian became the crown prince, and the Gao family bowed down and gave us no unfair intentions, and we could return to Lin'an to make a contribution." Ye Qing said with his eyes empty.

"But this will only make Shi Miyuan cheaper, allowing him to get along with everything, and then return to Lin'an with a bulging bag?" Han Tuozhou frowned: "We must not let Shi Miyuan take so much money so easily, what do you think?"

"Seventy thousand is nothing! I, Ye Qing, don't even look down on him, will Shi Miyuan like him? The benefits are still behind, but how should we stop it? Don't forget that Dali Duan's request is all about this, there is nothing else, and the decree given to us by the court is nothing else." Ye Qing blinked his eyes, and also looked at Han Tuozhou's deep eyes and said.

After a while of silence, Han Tuozhou slowly spoke: "There is no difficulty, then we will create difficulties for him, so that Shi Miyuan can't make profits so easily, and that the Gao family can't easily follow the steps."

"Things in this world are easier said than done, but harder than doing. Lord Han, have you ever thought that if you want to make this happen, it is far from enough to just rely on the two of us!" Ye Qing said with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"But you can only know this matter, and you can't even know the heaven and earth." Han Tuozhou said in a deep voice.

"Do you know how to call yourself on weekdays, the Emperor Zhengde who was the Emperor of the Gao family? "Ye Qing suddenly asked, looking at Han Tuozhou, shaking his head, and Ye Qing replied: "I am called Emperor Zhengde of the Great China, and his country name is Dazhong."

"So what?" Han Tuozhou said calmly.

"Those who live in the world are called China, and the four barbarians live in the world, so Dali is more suitable for the Duan family today." Ye Qing inexplicably thought of the word "Huaxia" and then murmured.

"Lizhou Road Dasan Pass, this is my condition." Han Tuozhou looked at Ye Qing and said.

"My condition is... let Shi Miyuan jump into the pit." Ye Qing gave Han Tuozhou the conditions he hoped for.

(ps: I am so awesome today. I have added up to three updates. I admire me for taking it myself.)
