"Lin'an City is really unique. If you had not come here, you would never have imagined that there is such a prosperous place in the world. Our cities such as Zhongdu and Shangdu in Mongolia are far inferior. No wonder the Great Khan has never forgotten the colorful world of the Southern Dynasties."
A tall middle-aged monk thought as he walked.
When the spring is cold, the middle-aged monk only wears a thin monk's robe and carries a yellow cloth bag (the monk's cloth bag is called the Qiankun bag). He seems not to be afraid of the cold.
This monk is about in his early thirties, with a handsome face and clear outlines. Except for his slightly dark skin, he doesn't look much different from a Song Dynasty person at first glance. However, when he occasionally smiles, it makes people feel that he has an inexplicable evil aura.
After Tianya failed to send masked men headed by Elder Kunzhe to assassinate the Song emperor, Kublai Khan intended to re-establish an intelligence station in Lin'an to replace the original intelligence agency to collect intelligence and prepare for the Mongolian invasion of the Song Dynasty.
From the conclusions drawn from Yin Tianya's derivation of the stars, Kublai Khan became particularly concerned about the Song Dynasty emperor. After discussing with Yin Tianya, he handed over this arduous task to Tianya's high priest Yang Lianzhenjia.
Yang Lianzhenjia, the high priest of Mongolia Tianya, came from Xixia Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. He was not good at Buddhism, but liked Tantric martial arts. He defected to Mongolia five years ago and was quite trusted by Kublai Khan. Later, he got Yin Tianya's guidance and achieved great success in martial arts.
In the decisive battle to pacify Ali Bu Ge, Yang Liangzhenjia single-handedly broke into Ali Bu Ge's tent protected by Qixue's army and captured Ali Bu Ge alive. He was brave and careful, and could be described as both civil and military, so he continued to be promoted in Tianya.
, was eventually appointed as the high priest by Yin Tianya, ranking above the four elders of the temple. Although Yang Lianzhenjia was from Semu in the Western Regions, his appearance was the same as that of a Han Chinese and he was proficient in Chinese, so he was entrusted with an important task and came to Lin'an alone.
During the Song Dynasty, there were quite a few Buddhists, and monks from all over the country often went to temples in the capital to hang out, so no one would pay attention to such a single monk.
In the evening, Yang Liangzhenjia came to Yanfu Temple in the north of Lin'an.
Yanfu Temple is a small temple in Lin'an. It is located in a remote location and few people visit it. Therefore, it is not very popular. In addition to the master Yunze who presides over it, there are only about a dozen young monks in the temple. This is the only Mongolian temple in Lin'an.
It is a stronghold, and it is said that it was built by Torre (youngest son of Genghis Khan) when he traveled south.
Yang Lianzhenjia walked around the temple, looked around at the terrain, and came to the closed temple door.
"Bah bang bang!" Yang Lian knocked on the temple door. After a while, the temple door opened and a young novice monk came out.
"Master, what are you doing here?" the young novice asked with his hands clasped together.
"The poor monk would like to place an order in your temple. Please inform the host so that it can be convenient."
"Master, wait a moment."
The young novice quickly came to the door with a monk in his thirties.
"Where did this master come from? I am Yunze, the abbot of this temple." Yunze looked at Yang Lian Zhenjia and asked.
"I have met Master Yunze." Yang Liangzhen said with his hands clasped together, "A poor monk travels all over the world and wants to place an order in your temple. I would like to ask Master to make it easier for me."
"This temple is too small to accommodate this master. Please move to another temple." Yunze said in an attitude of rejecting others.
Yang Lianzhen smiled and said: "The temple is small but it doesn't matter, as long as the winding path can lead to the secluded place."
Yunze was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Why is there such a winding path in a small temple? This temple only has flowers and trees in the Zen room."
Yang Lianzhen added his thumb, index finger to form a circular seal, and other fingers to be upturned: "The poor monk only likes flowers and trees."
Yunze hurriedly made the same gesture, invited Yang Liangzhen into the inner room and said, "Then, master, please follow me into the Zen room to discuss it later."
After entering the house, Yunze told the young novice: "Jue Li, go prepare the guest room for this master to rest."
After Yang Liangzhenjia saw Jueli leaving, he took out a secret letter from the Qiankun bag and handed it to Yunze: "The poor monk is Yang Liangzhenjia, the high priest of the temple. This is the letter and seal of the deity."
After Yunze finished reading, he knelt down quickly and said, "My subordinate Yunze has met the high priest."
Yang Lianzhenjia took the letter and held it between his palms. With a slight exertion, the letter instantly turned into pieces of paper and fell to the ground.
"What a superb skill." Yunze said to himself.
"Yunze, please sit down." Yang Lianzhen added, "First, let's talk about the current situation in Lin'an."
After Yunze sat down, he said respectfully: "Yes, Lord Priest."
On March 1, the first year of Xianchun, Kublai Khan moved the capital to Yanjing and announced to the world that Yanjing was renamed Shangdu. The original Shangdu Prefecture in Kaiping was renamed Zhongdu as the companion capital of Mongolia.
Therefore, he ordered the construction of a new city in the northeast outside the original Yanjing City. Liu Bingzhong, a Tiangchun Sanren who ranked second among the four elders of Tianya Temple, was responsible for supervising the construction.
Liu Bingzhong was proficient in magic. If he had not been a Han Chinese, Yin Tianya might have trained him to become the next generation of Tianya God.
At the same time, Kublai Khan carried out a series of changes. First, he simplified and integrated the administrative management system. Zhongshu Sheng was fully responsible for administrative affairs. Since there was only one agency in charge, administrative management went more smoothly. All memorials submitted to the emperor were
It must be filtered by Zhongshu Province. The highest position in Zhongshu Province is Zhongshu Ling. Important decisions approved by Kublai Khan are handed over to various ministries for implementation and parallel supervision by Zhongshu Ling. Secondly, in accordance with the Han system, a Privy Council specifically responsible for military affairs was established.
, implement the six ministries of Zhongshu Province’s decisions, and reuse capable Han people. Third, allocate fields to the Han people who originally belonged to the Jin Kingdom, so that the Mongols cannot plunder at will.
This series of reform measures laid a solid foundation for the southern invasion of the Song Dynasty and unification of the world.
Mongolian Kublai Khan and I are both racing at the same time, but my difficulty is relatively greater. There is still resistance from Jia Sidao's faction in my court, and Kublai Khan can focus on internal affairs after the chaos is quelled.
Jiang Wanli and Liao Yingzhong were still very efficient. On the seventh day after my appointment, a memorial on the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce was placed in the imperial study room of Ningqian Palace. After reading it, I handed it to Wen Tianxiang and Lu next to me.
Hideo: "Look, Liao Yingzhong still has some abilities."
Lu Xiufu said: "I have heard Mr. Li mention it before. This Liao Yingzhong is very good. She is Jia Sidao's Zhuge. Your Majesty needs to beware of her."
I nodded in approval. At this time, Xiao Qi came in and reported: "Mr. Yuan is outside asking for a meeting."
"Sir is here? Xuan."
After Yuan Ji entered the room, he said: "Your Majesty, I have just returned from Shifeng Trading Company. Ye Dongsheng has returned from Sichuan and passed through Jiangxi. He brought two letters."
I took the letter and said: "This is the letter from Ouyang Hedaofa in Central Sichuan."
I first opened the letter from Ouyang Kechun, the head of the Ouyang family. The letter was concise and concise. As Han people, the Ouyang family would never succumb to the Mongols. Thanks to Mr. Huyan for his kindness, he would definitely cooperate with Longya if he had the opportunity. The letter did not mention whether to save it.
In terms of strength, they only said that they would try to reduce unnecessary casualties. Because the Ouyang family was disappointed with the court, they would continue to fight the Mongols in their own way.
The head of the Ouyang family is very courageous, but he is also very stubborn.
I took out my quill pen, thought about it and wrote, "Senior Ouyang Kechun, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, I heard that he is determined to change. There will be a new atmosphere in the court, and the world will prosper. Everyone has a responsibility. Hu Yan admires the righteousness of his predecessor. I
Longya is willing to unite all the forces that resist Mongolia and drive out the aliens who occupy our homeland. The people of Longya will fight for the rise of the Song Dynasty for life. I believe that our Han nation will win the final victory.
"Sir, give this letter to the Ouyang family."
I continue to read the second letter of Taoism.
There are only a few sentences in the letter from Daofa. Kublai Khan of Mongolia moved his capital to Yanjing. Yanjing is located in the dragon vein and has strong power, which adds a lot of light to its destiny star. The emperor needs to treat it with caution.
After reading it, I immediately wrote, thanking the Taoist master for reminding me that man can conquer heaven.
"Sir, this seal of friendship is related to Taoism."
