Chen Ming heard that Xin Ran wanted to leave Lin'an to do some things, so he asked, "I don't know if the eldest brother has anything to do?"

Chen Ming replied: "At present, Brother Yu has two things, one is that Brother Gao Shi told me that the master sent a message to him and asked me to go to Shaolin Temple, where the master will see me has important things; Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The trip to Shaolin is a matter in the martial arts, I don't know much about it, I don't know a little about this Jin country, I can tell you about it first, maybe it will help you on your trip to Jin Guo", Chen Wenduan said to Xin Ran.

Xin Ran listened to Chen Wenduan's words and said, "It would be great if this was the case, and I would like to ask the world brother to give me advice." “

Chen Wenduan replied: "My brother, you don't have to be polite;

The Jurchens were originally vassals of the Liao Dynasty, and the first generation of Jurchen ancestors originated from the Heishui Yan in the Tang Dynasty, and there were tribes such as the Wanyan Department in the Five Dynasties, and the vassals belonged to the Bohai State;

After the Liao Dynasty conquered the Bohai Kingdom, it incorporated the Jurchen tribe in the south, called the mature Jurchen, and the Jurchen in the north; among the more than 30 Jurchen tribes, the Wanyan tribe was the most powerful, and the Wanyan tribe gradually unified the Jurchen tribes;

In 1112, Emperor Tianzuo went to Changchun Prefecture to meet with the chiefs of the Jurchen tribes and insulted Wanyan Min and other chieftains, so that Wanyan Aguda decided to rebel against the Liao court;

In September 1114 AD, Wanyan Agu ordered the Jurchen tribes to swear to Liushui and began a ten-year war against Liao, and then the Jurchen army defeated the Liao army in the victory of Ningjiang and the battle of Chuhedian;

In January of the following year, Aguda was enthroned as emperor in Huining Mansion in Shangjing, and the country name was Dajin, which was Jin Taizu;

Emperor Tianzuo of Liao paid attention to this matter until this point, and ordered a personal expedition, but the Liao army was defeated by the Jurchen army, and at the same time, there was a rebellion between Yelu Zhangnu and Gao Yongchang in the Liao Dynasty, and the national strength of the Liao State was greatly weakened;

In May 1116, the Eastern Route Army occupied Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, and in 1120, the Western Route Army captured Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, and the Liao Dynasty lost half of its land;

During the war, the Northern Song Dynasty successively sent envoys Ma Zheng and Zhao Liangsi to make a maritime alliance with the Jin Dynasty to jointly attack the Liao Dynasty;

In 1122, the Eastern Route Army captured Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and Emperor Tianzuo fled to the desert. At the same time, the Western Route Army also captured Xijing Datong Mansion, and Yelu Dashi and others supported Yelu Chun in Nanjing Xijin Mansion, that is, Northern Liao;

At this time, our Great Song Dynasty also sent Tong Guan and others to lead the army to attack Liao, Nanjing and other places in the sixteen states of Yanyun, but they were all defeated by the Liao army. In the end, the court of the Great Song Dynasty asked the Jin army to capture Liao Nanjing, and the northern Liao died, so far the five capitals of Liao were captured by the Jin army;

After negotiation between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the Jin army gave some cities in the sixteen states of Yanyun and obtained the annual coins, but in the end, the Song Dynasty only got a bunch of empty cities after the Jin army ransacked them;

After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it began to launch a war against our Great Song Dynasty, and after the Jingkang disaster, our Great Song Dynasty Gaozong rebuilt my Great Song Dynasty in the south, and since then, my Great Song Dynasty has confronted the north and south of the Jin Dynasty, and the war continued;

In the twenty-ninth year of Dading, on the first day of the first month, Jin Shizong died, and Wan Yan Jing succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin on the same day, which was for Jin Zhangzong, who grew up in the "rule of Dading" period of Jin Shizong's reign, and was exposed to his grandfather's Wen Taowu since childhood, coupled with the integration of Confucian culture, so after ascending the throne, while continuing the rule of his grandfather's "benevolent government", he tried his best to imitate Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty who denied the old system of his own comprehensive Sinicization reform;

At the same time, Zhang Zong was smart and studious, with his father's demeanor, he liked literature, advocating elegance, so at that time there were endless celebrities, most of the ruling ministers had literary talents, learning was desirable, capable officials and upright ministers were appointed, political clarity, and civil governance. Therefore, in the early days of Zhang Zong's reign as emperor, it was the most prosperous period of the Jin Dynasty, with a developed economy, population growth, a full treasury, and a rich world.

It's just a pity that now, because his six sons died before the age of three, this hit Zhang Zong very hard, so Zhang Zong drank and wrote poems with the literati all day long, and did not think about the government. The government is becoming more and more corrupt;

In addition, various natural disasters such as the flooding of the Yellow River appeared one after another, and at the same time, in internal affairs, Zhang Zong favored Concubine Li Yuan, and trusted Li's relatives, and appointed Xu Zhiguo, who was born as a child, to manage the government.

And according to the news from the north a few days ago, the emperor of Jin is now seriously ill, I am afraid that he will not live long, and now the court is fighting very hard for the heir, it is said that Zhang Zong wants to pass on his position to Wanyan Yongji, but Li Yuanfei and others in the harem do not want to do this, afraid that once Wanyan Yongji ascends the throne, his glory and wealth will not be guaranteed. So now these two factions are also fighting fiercely, and Emperor Zhangzong is also in a dilemma. “

Hearing this, Xin Ran said to Chen Wenduan: "I can't imagine that the internal affairs of the Jin Kingdom are also so complicated, but in the next thought, this situation may be our opportunity, if we can find a way to participate in the battle for the heir of the Jin Kingdom, let it continue to be consumed, it will be really beneficial to the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty of our Great Song Dynasty." “

"Big brother's words are polite, in my opinion, big brother, you have just made your debut, and people outside don't know your thoughts very well, so I suggest that after going to Shaolin Temple to meet with Lingshi, go to Jin Kingdom, and find a way to blend into Jin Kingdom, you can take the opportunity to provoke a bigger fight among the various factions in Jin Kingdom, in this case, wouldn't it be wonderful", Chen Ming said to Xin Ran.

Chen Wenduan slapped the table and said, "I think Chen Ming's idea is good, I suggest that Brother Xin Shi might as well consider it." “

"Then do what Brother Chen Mingxian said, I will go to Shaolin Temple first, and then I will go to Jinguo, and there are a few other things to trouble Brother Chen Shi", Xin Ran said.

Chen Wenduan said: "Brother Xin Shi doesn't have to be polite, if you have something, I will definitely do it." “

"The first thing is that just now the prince asked Li Yuanyi to come and ask me to go to the East Palace to sit down, I took the invitation, and now I definitely can't go, but I can't let the prince lose face, so I want to write a letter and send it to the East Palace by Brother Chen to express my apologies, so that the two sides can talk when they meet in the future;

After listening to this, Chen Wenduan said: "No problem, please rest assured, brother, I will help you do this." “

Xin Ran said: "Thank you Brother Shi for that." “

"My own brother, it should be like this, Brother Xin Shi doesn't have to be polite," Chen Wenduan said.
