Ah Gu died in the seventh year of Jin Tianfu, and after Ah Gu was killed, Wu Qimai ascended the throne, that is, the first year of Tianhui and the second year of Tianhui.

From the last few months of the first year of Tianhui to the second year of Tianhui, due to Huining's pacification policy against Zheyanchong, the Han Department was given precious time to adjust, and Liaokou Castle was also rebuilt during this period. And Zhi Yanchong's honesty also allowed Wu Qimai to lay out calmly. In the matter of dealing with the Han Ministry, Wu Qimai gradually reached a consensus with Zong Han and Zong Wang. Wanyan Xiyin and Han Fang, who can represent Zong Han, and Zong Fu and Liu Yanzong, who can represent Zong Wang, either live in Huining for a long time, or go back and forth between the two places, maintaining communication and contact between the Huining Imperial Court and the leaders of these two powerful factions.

Zong Han asked for an expansion of the army, and Wu begged to buy him to increase the number of elite soldiers by 5,000; Wu Qimai hoped that Zong Wang could invoke some more Yan people to join the court to assist in the government, and Zong Wang also happily obeyed. The three major forces of the Jurchens were tolerant of each other, and the more they hugged each other, the more they embraced each other, and the foundation of Wu Qimai's rule became more and more solid. At this time, the Han Department was worried about whether to cut down the Song Dynasty.

While the internal affairs of the Jin State are becoming more and more smooth, the diplomatic aspect has also achieved quite satisfactory results. The Western Xia saw the strength of the Jurchens in several failed attempts to aid Liao, and deeply felt that this emerging clan was not easy to mess with. Wu Qimai was about to concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the south, so he authorized the Western Route Army, under the auspices of Zong Han, to cede a large area south of Yinshan to Western Xia, and this place "happened" to be mostly the area where the remnants of Xiao Tienu were stationed. Xiao Tienu was furious after hearing the news in Jinmen, but he was helpless. Western Xia got the sweetness, although he was still wary of the Jurchens, but now that he had the possibility of coexisting with the Jurchens, he was happy to maintain the status quo and claim the title of vassal to Jin. Soon, the king of Western Xia, Li Qianshun, swore an oath to Jin, and in the same year, Wu Qimai also gave the Western Xia oath, and after the two countries established a suzerain-vassal relationship, the western front of the Jin State was temporarily stabilized. However, Wu Qimai is still a little worried about Mongolia.

One of the important reasons that led to the miscarriage of Aguta's "southern tour" last year was that I heard about the Mongol invasion to the east. Even during the funeral of Aguda at that time, Wu Qimai and Zongwang still sent capable men into Mongolia to investigate the situation, and found that the cavalry that "showed off their troops in Zhongjingzhou County" was simply a small tribe that accidentally broke into the southern foot of Daxianbei Mountain, and had little to do with the Mongolian department. However, Wu Qimai still did not dare to take it lightly, sent spies widely, and finally detected that the Mobei Mongolian Department did show signs of prosperity under the leadership of Hebule, but it was currently entangled with the Meili Emergency Department and others, and it seemed that there was no ability to invade the east in the short term.

In the middle of the second year of Tianhui, something happened in Huining that does not seem very important at present: Zong Jun, the eldest son of Aguta, fell ill and died. The young man, who had no merit, died without even a son, leaving behind only a wife with a bulging belly. Zong Jun's half-brother Zong Gan did not dislike the pregnant woman left by his younger brother, and was generous with it. Zong Jun doesn't have a sister like Wan Yanhu, so this matter is nothing compared to the remarriage of his wife after Zong Xiong's death. However, no matter what Zong Jun says, he can be regarded as the eldest son of Aguta, and he still has to solemnly inform the Quartet when he dies - this of course includes Jinmen. So Hanchen Han Fang, who was recommended by Zong Han to come to Huining, took on this responsibility. However, this is only a superficial task, and Wu Qimai also gave him another task: to get a glimpse of the reality of the Han Department.

Wanyan Xiyin is from Zong Han's faction, and Han Fang was promoted by Zong Han, so the relationship between the two in Huining was naturally closer, and before Han Fang set off, Wanyan Xiyin told him some important matters, especially let him be careful of Yang Yingqi's fox who pretended to be a sheep!

At this time, the relationship between Huining and Jinmen was still in a tense period, and Wanyan Xiyin was a major minister of Wanyan Ministry, and he didn't dare to do anything to him when he arrived in Liaonan. But it is not easy to say that Hanchen like Liu Yanzong and Zhang Tonggu who served Huining. Many Hanchen in Huining were worried about Han Fang, fearing that he would be embarrassed after he went south, but Han Fang received the task very calmly, and went on the road on the same day without delay on the way.

For characters like Han Fang, the secret agent department of the Han Ministry will arrange Mizi to follow up one-on-one. Therefore, not long after Han Fang set off from Huining, Yang Yingqi of Jinmen knew that he was coming, and specially ordered him to go down: receive according to normal etiquette, and do not exceed the etiquette and do not embarrass him. Therefore, after Han Fang crossed Liaokou, he smoothly entered southern Liaoning.

When he crossed Liaokou, he was already full of sighs: he not only knew about the burning of Liaokou, but also saw the ruins with his own eyes. It was only nine months before and after that, and a more solid port city was re-established! The terrifying reconstruction power of the Han Department shocked Han Fang's heart. How many families does this seaside tribe have!

After he reached a tacit understanding with Zhao Guan last year, Hanbu really did not embarrass his wife and child, but just sent someone to Datong Mansion secretly; He never took the incident on the beach as a threat to him, and even when Liaonan was in the most danger, the Han Department never sent anyone to ask Han Fang to do anything embarrassing. All of this made Han Fang feel that he was not wrong: Han Bu - at least Yang Yingqi is not a person without credit.

"The meaning of the Seventh General is not to ask Lord Han to do dangerous things such as undercover, but just to hope that there will be one more important member of the pro-Han Department within the Dajin Imperial Court. If Lord Han is willing to make friends with us, then at the appropriate time, say a few words that are more beneficial to the Han Department - but not to ask Lord Han to spy on military secrets for us. In addition, Lord Han is no different from other Han officials in Daikin. If one day Lord Han is not happy to be friends with my Han Ministry, then we will be together and disperse, and the Han Ministry will never be strong with each other, let alone coerc. ”

Han Fang remembered Zhao Guan's words - it is said that this is also what Yang Yingqi expects of him.

"If only it were that simple." Han Fang thought, because if this is the case, then no matter what the result of the major forces in the northern country is tilting against each other this time, he himself has room to advance and retreat. Hanbu didn't make excessive demands on himself, but prepared a way back for himself - this was a very tempting condition, and it was also a situation that Han Fang was happy to see. So Han Fang pretended that he had never seen Zhao Guan before, whether by Zong Han's side or in Huining, he honestly followed the rules of the Jurchen to fulfill the responsibility of a civil servant, although the place with an extremely strong barbarian atmosphere in Huining was not suitable for him, but he also tried to endure it. The betrayal of the Bianliang court cut off his hope of returning to the Great Song Dynasty, and his only way to survive now is to obey Dajin.

From Liaokou to Jinmen, the road is very peaceful. Looking at the growth of crops along the road, after last year's poor harvest, this year's harvest in southern Liaoning should not be bad. And after entering the Jinmen, Han Fang's state of mind widened for no reason. Why? No one came to welcome him, there were no special celebrations or activities in Jinmen at the moment, and the market that had not yet reached the peak trading season was not prosperous, but Han Fang's mood still became very good! Maybe it's because he smells the civilization of the city! It was the breath of civilization that only literati could smell!

Han Fang is the champion of the second year of the Great Liao Tianqing, if he is born in the imperial examination, at this moment only Li Jie can suppress him in the entire Jinmen (Li Jie is the leader of the Great Song Dynasty Rite Examination, although he is the first, but the gold content of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao Examination of the same level is different after all), in the northern country, his literary words and chapters are very good, Yang Pu and others are known as knowledgeable in Tokyo Province, but the culture of the Great Liao is concentrated in Yanyun and Liangzhou, although Tokyo Road and Yanyun Road are in the same country in Liao, but Yanjing scholars have always regarded it as a wilderness, and it is precisely for this reason, Yang Pu's connections are connected to Zhang Xuansu and Lu Kezhong, but he can't enter the circle of Yanjing Lushi. Han Fang is a leader in such a cultural environment. When such a person comes to a place like Jinmen, how can he not be happy and nostalgic?

If he had previously leaned toward the latter in the trade-off between being close to the Han to gain advantage and alienating the Han to avoid trouble, now he had clearly been tempted by the city of Jinmen.
