Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Originally, the language barrier was just a false proposition, Ximen Qing just said it to set up obstacles for Xueer, making her feel like quitting.

Because the Japanese nobles are proficient in Chinese, why is there a language barrier?Of course, fake aristocrats like "Fujiwara Kitaro" would naturally not say anything.This is why Ximen Qing asked Kinoshita Tokichiro to master Chinese as soon as possible. In Ximen Qing's plan, Kinoshita Tokichiro is really an important part.

Unexpectedly, Xueer went around, even if she refused to give up the idea of ​​going to Dongying, Ximenqing was also very helpless.

But think about it, there are two advantages to letting Xueer learn Dongying: one is to see how persistent this tortured little goblin is. If this annoying little goblin can master Dongying, maybe it can really help Ximen Qing... At least he can get some information from some noble women that Ximen Qing can't get.

After making up his mind, Ximen Qing agreed: "Xue'er, as long as you study well, the master will take you there!"

Xue'er cheered and went out; Ximenqing went to the back garden to find Wu Song, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others to discuss matters, and when they asked in the afternoon, this annoying little fairy packed some clothes and went to the other village.

No need to ask, this is looking for Chrysanthemum to learn Japanese.

Ximen Qing rubbed his head, is this annoying little fairy really determined?The action is too fast!

I just don’t know if Chrysanthemum will be a big headache. When Ximen Qing passed by last time, Tokichiro Kinoshita’s study progress was a bit behind. Although Chrysanthemum didn’t say it on the surface, Ximen Qing could see it; The child is quirky, I'm afraid Chrysanthemum can't bear it.

Ximen Qing shook his head, let's go and have a look again in a few days!Before crossing, Ximenqing still had some experience in learning foreign languages, so maybe he could help.

Although there are still several months before spring, there is still Chinese New Year in the middle, and there is not much time left for Chrysanthemum.

However, in order to start "business" in Liao as soon as possible, Wu Song, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others will leave before the Chinese New Year. It seems that this year will be spent in Xiongzhou.

Another reason is that the borders will be looser before and after the Spring Festival to facilitate things.

Both Wu Song and Lin Chong were dispatched as a husband and wife, while Master Lu was alone and a bachelor, but he was also unrestrained and unrestrained.

Ximen Qing discussed with Ma Rulong, this plan is still in its infancy, if you can talk to King Jia Zhao Kai, let’s not talk about it; since the opening ceremony of the palace last time, King Jia Zhao Kai has always maintained a state of excitement. The city secretary doesn't have much to do with his affairs.

Just as he was thinking about it, King Jia Zhao Kai sent someone to post a post, asking Ximen Qing to come over.

Ximen Qing couldn't figure out what was going on in King Jia's mind, but it should be roughly how to get more favor from the officials?

What he didn't expect was that King Jia Zhao Kai went to find him on purpose, turned around, and then made a ridiculous request.

"Is there any chance... I mean it's possible..." Zhao Kai tentatively asked Ximen Qing, "Let Father turn to Buddhism?"

Ximen Qing didn't speak, and after observing for a long time, he decided that Zhao Kai was very serious.

This father and son...

Zhao Ji wanted Zhao Kai to believe in Taoism, but Ximen Qing was fooled. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kai asked Ximen Qing to find ways to make Zhao Ji interested in Buddhism.

"My lord, why did you say that?" Ximen Qing responded with a slight smile, "Do you still remember what the lower official said to the lord after he got the official's secret order?"

"Freedom of belief." Zhao Kai naturally remembered, "But right now is indeed a perfect opportunity..."

Ximen Qing shook his head resolutely, and unceremoniously pointed out Zhao Kai's question: "My lord is wrong, this is not a good opportunity."

Zhao Kai looked at Ximen Qing in astonishment, Ximen Qing refused to agree, he had a premonition; but now that Lin Lingsu is in prison, the Shenxiao Sect has disappeared, and more importantly, the government has just issued an edict to cancel his own The title of the Taoist emperor.

If now is not a good opportunity, what good opportunity is there?

"Faith cannot be forced." Ximen Qing explained: "If you force it, or guide it, it is not a good thing, and it may cause adverse effects."

"The so-called belief is that only when you believe, you can still look up and worship."

Although Zhao Kai found Ximen Qing's explanation fresh, he seemed to be quite acceptable.

"Buddhism is completely different from the past for the officials, and it needs a big change." Ximenqing continued: "And the officials have not given up believing in Taoism now, but they just feel that they have fallen into the evil of Lin Lingsu. Dang, I was speechless, so I canceled the title of Daojun Emperor myself. If the prince is going to use some means to influence the officials at this time, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."

After listening, the 15-year-old Jia Wang Zhao Kai actually let out a sigh that did not match his age: "The imperial city envoys tricks... there is no way out of it?"

Ximen Qing cursed secretly in his heart, it turned out that he was actually a scheming image in this young man's heart.

"Actually, taking a step back, it's not a good thing for officials to believe in Buddhism," Ximen Qing said seriously.

It seems that it is time to teach you a good lesson for this young man!

Zhao Kai suddenly looked at Ximen Qing's serious look, he seemed a little unaccustomed to it, and took a sip of tea with a smile: "Dharma is boundless, why not a good thing?"

Ximen Qing turned his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Does your lord know that there is a country called Dali?"

King Jia Zhao Kai laughed and said: "Why does the Imperial City Secretary ask this question? Dali is a tiny place, bordering on the southwestern border of our Great Song Dynasty. It has been protected by our Great Song Dynasty for generations, so it will not be annexed by Tubo."

Ximen Qing smiled again: "Does the prince know that Dali governs the country with Buddhism? The kings of Dali all believed in Buddhism and had a deep understanding of Buddhism."

Ximenqing’s knowledge is naturally obtained from a novel written before time travel, but when you think about it, the time in the novel is still very close to the present...Although many descriptions in the novel are written by the author Imagine, but the basic elements should be somewhat grounded.

Sure enough, King Jia Zhao Kai nodded, quite surprised: "The Imperial City Secretary is more knowledgeable than this king thinks. Song Bihu is peaceful."

"Then there are quite a few kings of Dali who abdicated after working hard, and went to become monks at Tianlong Temple..." Ximen Qing hit the iron while the iron was hot: "Does the lord know about this?"

Zhao Kai gasped, and seemed to understand what Ximen Qing wanted to express by constantly asking questions.

The 15-year-old boy couldn't help but imagine what kind of impact it would have on the entire Song Dynasty if the government suddenly announced his abdication one day and went to Daxiangguo Temple to become a monk.

Unlike Dali, a small border country, the Song Dynasty has a vast territory, and the officials suddenly quit. I am afraid that waiting for the successors will be turmoil everywhere, and those neighbors with malicious intentions will suddenly invade the border.

Zhao Kai admits that although this kind of consequence is not 100%, there is a high probability.

"This king understands." The 15-year-old boy nodded: "It seems that this king did think wrong before, but what if my father finds Lin Lingsu and others again?"

"With the officials here, the prince can rest assured." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Not only must we prevent Lin Lingsu and his ilk, but we must also take the initiative to introduce one or two real Taoist masters to the officials, so as to avoid similar problems from the root. The best way is to respect the beliefs of the officials and not let the officials indulge in them."

Zhao Kai said: "What the Envoy of the Imperial City said is true, I will leave this matter to you... Besides, the end of the new year is approaching, shouldn't the envoy of the Imperial City also settle the accounts?"

Ximenqing knew that what Zhao Kai was referring to was the time when he was in Chuuxuelou, and he had to pay a certain amount of money every year as the expenses of the Imperial City Department.

When asked at this moment, Zhao Kai was just changing the subject... This matter seems to be nothing serious.

Because Chuuxuelou has been operating well for more than half a year, although it has not yet reached the daily profit, but some time ago Ximen Qinggang and the magician Jiang Jing confronted each other. You can also earn tens of thousands of guan.

Thinking of this, Ximenqing felt that Cai Jing welcomed him as a guest, maybe it was because he had blackmailed Cai You, and the old fox was happy instead?Seeing that the father and son are really at odds, they have become enemies.

"The next official will ask someone to turn in the money and use it as the capital of the Imperial City Department." Ximen Qing cupped his hands and said, "Five thousand coins will not be missing."

King Jia Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "It was then, now is now, that price was set when you were the commander, but now you are an officer and an envoy of the Imperial City, naturally it cannot be this price gone."

"Then what does the prince mean?" Ximen Qing cursed inwardly, but then he thought about handing over the profits of Chuuxuelou, and it was not at his own disposal, and most of it was used in the big plan in the north?

Zhao Kai giggled, seeming to have regained some of his youthful mischievousness: "Speaking of which, how much profit is your Chuuxue Building this year?"

However, Ximenqing still put on a pained look: "Chuixuelou's profit this year is less than [-] guan, and the prince is merciful. But in order to support the funds of the Imperial City Department, no matter how much money, the officials will admit it!"

"A profiteer, a profiteer, there is no profiteer." Jiawang Zhao Kai chuckled: "I have never done business, but you are booming at Chuuxuelou, I still see it, especially when there is a father in your shop." That duty-free warrant...you are an ignorant boy when you think I am king!"

Ximen Qing spread his hands and made a helpless look: "Although I have made some money, the cost is also high! There are hundreds of mouths in Xiaguan's house... It's difficult!"

"Come on!" Zhao Kai frowned slightly, and shouted, "Don't cry poorly in front of this king..."
