Yang Yi finally successfully concluded a military alliance with the four ministries on the conditions of expanding the tea-horse trade, providing some weapons and armor, and in the event of a war, all the property gained would belong to each ministry.
Li Qingchen remotely takes charge of the post of Shazhou Jiedushi. In the future, whenever there is a war, the four armies will nominally be under the control of Li Qingchen, the Shazhou Jiedushi.
Chong Jianzhong also serves as the deputy envoy of Shazhou Jiedu. He is currently stationed in Shazhou and will actually command the four armies during wartime.
In addition to the military alliance, the Song Dynasty and the Four Tribes will hold a grand Buddhist and Taoist conference in Shazhou, bringing together eminent monks and Taoists from the Song Dynasty and other countries to conduct a grand debate on scriptures and meanings. The conference will last for half a year.
The abbot of Xiangda Xiangguo Temple, the abbot of Songshan Shaolin Temple, Taoist Master Qingyun, and the masters of royal Taoist temples such as Huiling Temple will all go to Shazhou to participate in the Taoism Conference.
At the same time, eminent monks from Tibetan Buddhism and even India were invited to participate.
This will be an unprecedented event for both Buddhism and Taoism. It is bound to set off a climax of Buddhism and Taoism in the Western Regions, and will have a significant impact on the belief system of the Western Regions.
Isn¡¯t the Black Khanate engaged in some kind of ¡®holy war¡¯? This time, the Song Dynasty took a two-pronged approach, with soft and hard hands at the same time. The Buddhist and Taoist families penetrated in front, opening the way with scriptures and principles, and the angry-eyed Vajra escorted behind, with butcher's knives at the ready.
If you can't write well, let's fight to see whose sword is sharper.
After finishing this matter, Yang Yi began to look for opportunities to be lazy again. The Academy is located at the innermost part of the palace city, and is only separated from the palace city by a gate. This is very convenient for him and Liu Qingjing, hehe.
But today he did not go to the Empress Dowager Liu to discuss life, mainly because he reached an agreement with the four envoys yesterday. She had just gone there while enjoying the wine, and Empress Dowager Liu transferred Su Dongpo back to Kaifeng Mansion, and accidentally stabbed him in the chrysanthemum. With the character of Grand Scholar Yang, who must repay his flaws, she would definitely stab him back.
Today, Grand Scholar Yang quietly slipped out of the Academy, heading west from behind the Yiying Hall, bypassing the Office of the Minister of Secretariat and the Privy Council, where the big shots in the DPRK and China work. Passing through Tianzhang Pavilion and exiting Youye Gate, across the street is the Hanlin Painting Academy;
He is very familiar with this route. Others thought that when he was sitting in the academy, he had sneaked into the Hanlin Academy of Painting without anyone noticing.
Today, he went to the Hanlin Academy of Painting and had no intention of learning painting. He asked about the progress of Zhang Zeduan's conception of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Then he left again.
After changing into his official uniform at his new house in Xingguofang, he rode his horse all the way south, exited Nanxun Gate and entered Yujin Garden.
Since the day he rescued Zhao Qian's stubborn girl from the lake, he has not come to visit her. This is a bit inappropriate. Thinking of this, Yang Yi ran away from the bachelor's college.
Of course, it¡¯s no secret that Academician Yang rarely attends the office when he has nothing to do. Zhang Dun had long considered him to be a non-staff member or a firefighter. No matter how lazy he was, he just needed to be able to catch people when he needed to put out a fire.
Yujin Garden is a royal garden covering an area of ??nearly ten miles. There is no wall, but there are forbidden troops stationed on the outside. This is in vain for Yang Yi. As he walks in, the garden is silent, and birds and animals roam leisurely by the water in the forest.
When Zhao Jie ascended the throne. Although the eldest princess of Kang State insisted on becoming a monk, she was still given a title as usual. Now her title has become the eldest princess of Qin State.
Liu Qingjing¡¯s sister-in-law treated her well. Although Liu Qingjing became the Queen Mother, she was only twenty years old, and Zhao Jie was only three years old. In addition to gaining the support of important ministers in the court, it was natural that she also had to win over members of the royal family;
Zhao Qian is the eldest of the unmarried daughters of Emperor Shenzong. She was favored by her brother Zhezong in the past and has a high status in the royal family. It is inevitable for Liu Qingjing to win over her. She wanted to live in Yujin Garden, and the entire Yujin Garden was almost given to her.
But what Zhao Qian wanted was just a corner of the garden. After jumping into the lake that day, her condition became much better, just like flowers that had suffered all winter and caught up with the spring in March.
These days, she spends less time chanting sutras. She often sits alone in the wind pavilion by the lake, watching the red leaves covering the slopes and the white clouds reflecting the autumn waves.
That day, she might have felt something, so she took off her monk's robe and put on a plain dress;
The black hair on her head was only three inches long, and it would not be good to wear a monk's hat after changing her dress, so she changed to a mink hat.
She was sitting quietly in the wind pavilion when she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the maple forest and turned around.
Seeing Yang Yi coming on horseback, a rare shy smile appeared on her face. She wanted to be more reserved, but she couldn't help the desire in her heart and ran out of the pavilion to meet him.
Yang Yi was a little stunned when he saw her attire. The eldest princess of Qin just changed into her daughter's dress. The mink hat she wore had white pendants on both sides. Seeing her in this dress??Yang Yi couldn't help but think of Princess Huazheng in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The more she looked at her, the more she resembled her.
Zhao Qian felt sweet and ashamed when she saw him staring at her blankly. Although the two of them didn't really accomplish anything good that day, the layer of window paper had been pierced, and there was no longer the previous gap between the two.
"Princess, get on your horse and I'll take you for a ride in the garden."
Yang Yi stopped his horse and stretched out his hand to her. Zhao Qian extended a hand to him without hesitation. When her hands were held together, the warm feeling made her feel like crying.
Others can't understand her feelings. For Yang Yi, her reputation was ruined and she sought death several times. She has been with him for many years, and she has suffered so much that she can hold hands and look at each other today.
Yang Yi has now been granted the title of Duke and is a pillar of the court. Zhao Qian also knows that it is impossible for her to marry into the Yang family;
Even if she gives up the title of princess, it is impossible, because whether she has the title or not, she is still the daughter of Shenzong. This cannot be changed. The royal family of the Song Dynasty can allow a princess to become a monk, but they will never allow a princess to marry as a concubine.
The only thing she can do is to be a real and anonymous couple with Yang Yi. Zhao Qian has died several times. She has taken the status thing very lightly. As long as she can stay with her lover, everything else will matter. It doesn't matter anymore.
??A closer look shows that although Zhao Qian is stubborn and willful, she is the most infatuated one. For Yang Yi, he went through many twists and turns without changing his mind, and went through life and death without regrets.
Yang Yi leaned down, grabbed her slender waist, and carried her onto the horse's back.
"Eldest Princess, sit down. Let's feel the joy of the lightning speed together."
"You are not allowed to call me the eldest princess again."
"What's that called?"
"Youjust call me Qian'er."
"No, I still like to call you eldest princess, it sounds more comfortable."
"Youyou bastard."
"Hahaha! Just like you like to call me a bastard, I also like to call you the eldest princess. We are even, eldest princess, hurry up and drive!"
Yang Yi shook the reins. The dark clouds and snow rushed out with a long hiss, like lightning and thunder. Zhao Qian couldn't help but lean into his arms, listening to the whistling wind in her ears and watching Feng Lin retreat rapidly. The flying feeling in her heart made her feel as if she had turned into a white cloud, floating in the blue sky with the wind. This feeling was so good
The two of them galloped over the hills, across the meadows, and across the lakeside. They galloped for as long as a stick of incense before returning to the maple forest.
Yang Yi took off his saddle and let the dark clouds cover the snow to graze, then he and Zhao Qian rested under the maple tree.
Under the fiery red maple tree. There were several layers of fallen leaves of weeds, which were soft and soft to sit on. The small lake about ten acres down the slope was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the skylight. The courtyard where Zhao Qian lived was quiet. Several palace maids heard the sound of horse hooves and came out to have a look, then shrank back.
She has lacked exercise in the past few years. After riding a stick of incense, her breath was a little short. Yang Yi took out a snow pear like a magic trick, and took out a dagger from her calf to peel the peel.
Zhao Qian saw a dagger tied to his leg. Can't help but be surprised.
"As a bachelor of the Central Government of the DPRK, what are you doing with a dagger strapped to your leg?"
"Just in case of emergencies, for example, you can use it to peel fruit now, which is very convenient."
"Can't you tell the truth to me?" Zhao Qian scolded dissatisfiedly, and leaned against his lap again.
"No need to make a fuss, Princess. This is just my personal habit."
"How come you, a scholar, have such a habit?"
It¡¯s no wonder that Zhao Qian was surprised. Scholars these days despise warriors, and it is absolutely impossible to tie a dagger to their legs. Yang Yi chuckled and said: "The eldest princess has probably heard that I was kidnapped and my life was in danger at that time. , Since then, I have developed the habit of tying a dagger to my leg."
Zhao Qian glanced at him and did not dwell on the issue anymore, but said angrily: "I told you, you are not allowed to call me the eldest princess again."
"Although you are the eldest princess, I am your man, so you have no right to order me. I just like to call you eldest princess. What's wrong?"
Zhao Qian was ashamed and angry. She couldn't help but beat him on the chest and hummed: "Why are you always like this? Why don't you just let me go?"
"I will love you and love you, but I am a man and I must have my own principles."
"you¡¡"
Yang Yi chuckled and stuffed the peeled pear into her mouth, covering her entire mouth. Zhao Qian just wanted to hit him again, but Yang Yi suddenly lowered his head and took a bite from the other side of the pear.
"We can't divide the pears, so we have to share them. Do you have any objections?"
Zhao Qian understood what he meant, and her face suddenly turned red. She was beautiful, and her delicate face reflected in the white mink hat made Yang Yi think of Princess Huazheng again.
"You're thirsty, eat quickly."
"Um."
Zhao Qian suddenly became very quiet and gentle, eating the pears in small bites. After taking one bite, she brought the pears to Yang Yi's mouth, asking him to take a bite too.
In this way, the two of them finished a pear together. Except for looking at each other from time to time, no one said anything during the whole process. It felt like silence was better than sound at this time.
Zhao Qian threw away the core and took out the handkerchief to wipe her mouth. Yang Yi looked at her and said nothing. Her face turned red for no reason. After hesitating for a while, she finally folded the handkerchief and wiped his mouth. Come, look as gentle as a newlywed bride.
After she wiped her mouth, Yang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "I still want to eat."
Zhao Qian blurted out: "Didn't you see that I threw away the core? Where is it?"
"You still have it in your mouth."
"You" Zhao Qian only had time to say one word before her lips were sealed by him.
