Lin Zi received much more information than Yang Qixin, so he understood the situation better.

He knew that when the King of Qin was meeting with the Ogedai Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Golden Horde Khanate in the Western Regions, Kublai Khan was not idle and had already begun to contact the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace.

The possibility of an alliance between them cannot be ruled out.

Yang Qixin knew this, and Lin Zi was not surprised. After all, Xiangyang and Jiangling had been eyeing each other for a while, and the Lu brothers were just a hair away from raising troops to attack.

Lin Zi was surprised that Yang Qixin thought that King Qin needed to regret this trip?

"Not to mention that the Song Dynasty has not yet formed an alliance with the Meng Yuan Dynasty, even if the two sides may form an alliance, shouldn't the king contact the countries in the Western Regions? How can my uncle regret it?"

Yang Qixin said in surprise: "You still don't admit that King Qin's policy of traveling to the west was wrong?"

"Wrong? Your Majesty's trip has yielded great results..."

"Feng? There are a few petty Mongolian vassal kings hiding in remote areas of the countryside. One has no courtesy and integrity, and the other has no money or food support. Today they made a blood alliance with the King of Qin to take advantage, but they can go back on their words tomorrow. What's the use?"

The forest stagnated.

He had to admit that although Yang Qixin had never been to the Western Regions, his description was very accurate... This was how Haidu felt to him.

"What did King Qin get? The verbal support of several so-called allies, but look what he lost." Yang Qixin patted the back of his chair in frustration and said, "He lost the trust and support of the orthodox court that occupies the entire prosperous Jiangnan.

, pushing the most powerful backer to the side of the enemy!"

"Uncle, you think highly of Song Ting."

"You are too young." Yang Qixin shook his head and said, "The King of Qin is too young. It is easy for you young people to make use of you, but you don't listen to the advice of an old man to plan the country. Sooner or later, you will suffer a big loss."

"I think uncle, you are too stubborn and stubborn..."

"I have told you long ago that when working for an official, you must have clear judgment and remind the king instead of blindly following the king. Otherwise, what can you, a mediocre person, do in state affairs?"

"My uncle has made great achievements. He became the most beautiful woman in high school, and he was only twenty years old when he was ranked number one."

"Do you think Jinshi is so easy to win?!" Yang Qixin stood up angrily...

~~

Only half a day later, Li Xia found out about the quarrel between Lin Zi and Yang Qixin.

"In other words, Mr. Yang is unwilling to recover?"

"Since he thought the king was wrong, I naturally failed to persuade him."

Li Xia was burying the first batch of many official documents that had been delayed and said casually: "There is nothing right or wrong. On the contrary, I understand Mr. Yang very well."

"The king understands him?"

"After living in the Jiangnan water town for sixty years, if you look back at the Western Regions, will you think it is a livable place?"

"But the king said that the Western Region is very important."

"That's what I said, through my experience and knowledge." Li Xia said: "What about him? In the past sixty years, all he has seen is the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. Of course, he will feel that joining forces with the imperial court to fight against the Yuan Dynasty is the best solution.

Good method."

There are still some things Li Xia didn't say.

People form their opinions based on what they have seen and experienced, and persuasion cannot convince them.

What Li Xia saw was a comprehensive history compiled by later generations, while what Yang Qixin saw was only a small part of what was compiled by the Song people. He couldn't ask Yang Qixin to have the same ideas as him, that would be unfair.

"Actually, Mr. Yang is right. Song Ting is stronger than Haidu and the others combined. But if Song Ting chooses to deal with me together with Kublai Khan, I can't stop him."

"Why?" Lin Zi scratched his head and said, "I just don't know why I couldn't quarrel with him."

"If you have a nail in your shoe, would you choose to pull the nail out first or fight with others first?"

"this……"

"I am the thorn in the side of the Song Dynasty, and Kublai Khan is the thorn in the side of those khans in the Western Regions."

Lin Zidao: "But why do I feel that Haidu and the others are Kublai Khan's nails?"

"It's the same thing if you think about it, then Kublai Khan had more nails in his shoes."

"Hey, it's strange. This time, the king formed an alliance with the Mongols, while Kublai Khan wanted to form an alliance with the Song people."

"It's not all about alliances with interests."

"I see the king and Wu..."

Li Xiadan glanced at Lin Zi.

The hall was quiet for a while, then Lin Zi scratched his head and said, "I've been a bit too talkative since I returned to Chang'an."

"Don't let this matter affect your relationship with Mr. Qin." Li Xia said with a smile: "Some people said this morning that I am always the bad guy in marriage. Don't let me confirm this reputation."

"Okay." Lin Zi also laughed and said, "That woman and I are getting along well."

Speaking of this, Li Xia remembered something.

"Go find Jiang Chun and Yu Dechen."

"yes."

Just when Lin Zi was about to turn around, he suddenly looked back.

"Your Majesty, you don't want to propose marriage for Yu Dechen, do you?"

"Um."

"This matter seems...not appropriate..."

~~

Gewuyuan.

"Tsk tsk, senior brother is really amazing."

Sun De picked up a crystal clear chip and put it into the copper tube, dripping and gurgling in his mouth.

"The King of Qin has brought back a Mongolian princess. Senior brother, you can also bring back one. I think you are not a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. You are the number one disciple of the King of Qin."

"Actually, Gaochang still has a princess left behind..."

"Senior brother, are you showing off to me? Ouch, this is so annoying."

"It's not about showing off." Yu Dechen said, "I just want to ask you, what do you think..."

"I don't think you should be too greedy, senior brother." Sun De probably knew what he was going to say, so he answered directly.

"I want to ask her if she can understand why I am..."

"Senior brother, you will get what you ask for, and you will get what you don't ask for. Have you forgotten my master's teachings?"

Sun De or squinted his eyes, carefully stuck another chip in the copper tube, and spoke in a calm tone.

"The greatest good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, but senior brother is too persistent."

Yu Dechen was silent for a while.

Sun De said again: "Is it her that senior brother is thinking about? What else is he thinking about? But I'm tired of the Qingxiu on Zhongnan Mountain, and I can't forget the fireworks of the world after a trip down the mountain. Sister Jiang is just...

This pyrotechnic talisman. Even if you think it's better to dress up as a woman and listen to her talk about worldly things about love and love than to practice Taoism."

"I don't……"

"You have."

"She said before that her heart was secretly in love with the King of Qin. Why did senior brother fall in love with her because of this? Because senior brother is not interested in such love affairs. So when I went to Gaochang, I didn't reject the two Mongolian princesses, right?"

Yu Dechen was speechless.

Sun De or smiled and said: "I'm right, senior brother, you have to face your true heart, everything will be natural."

"I don't know, I want to see her."

"Don't go, help junior brother hold this."

"What's this?"

"Stargazing tube."

"Why do this?"

"When compiling the calendar, the calendars of the Song and Jin Dynasties no longer conform to the agricultural seasons in the territory of King Qin. When the calendar is compiled..."

Sun De may have said this, but suddenly stopped talking.

Yu Dechen then asked: "Can you do it? You were dozing off when Master said this."

"I didn't say I could, I just built a stargazing tube, will you do it, senior brother?"

"Won't."

"Sure enough, senior brother has never thought about cultivating Taoism properly, only love in this world."

"It's not like this……"

Sun De was actually relieved in his heart, and secretly said: "Sister Jiang, I can only help you so far..."
