Chapter 416: Jin Kingdom, Killing the King
Brother to brother, when this system was formulated, the root of civil strife was planted in the Jin Kingdom, and it was almost unstoppable, but I didn't know when it would break out.
Jin Taizu Wanyan A Guda, wise and martial, is a generation of male lords, the world of conquest, the creation of the Jin Kingdom, the crown prince at that time is Wanyan Wu begging, that is, the later Jin Taizong, this person is wise, but also a generation of male lords, he destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty during his reign.
Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begging era of the crown prince Wanyan Xian also died early, which laid the biggest hidden danger for the elder brother and the younger brother. According to the rules, the throne should be returned to the eldest son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, but Wanyan Zongjun, the eldest son of Wanyan Aguta, has already died.
Of course, Wanyan Zonggan, the eldest son of the Taizu line, disagreed, and at the same time, Wanyan Zonghan and others also stood on the opposite side, so that Wanyan Wu Qimai finally established the eldest grandson of the Taizu family as the crown prince in order to settle the dispute, but Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongqi began to fight openly and secretly.
Wanyan Zongqi accepted the strategy of Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, united with Wanyan Zonggan, and finally overthrew Wanyan Zonghan. However, from the killing of the Three Kingdoms to the hegemony of the two kings, how could the emperor Wanyan endure this situation, and finally accepted Chen Bin's plan to kill Wanyan Zongqi and Wanyan Zonggan in order to control the court.
It seems to be a very simple plan, but it is destined to be a sinkhole, but this sinkhole is too deep for Wan Yan to see, and it is destined to have uncontrollable civil strife in the Jin Kingdom.
Digging a pit, this time it was Wanyan who dug the pit, but in fact, Wanyan Zongqi had already gotten in, but neither of them knew it.
Wanyan Zongqi and Wanyan Zongchang, Wanyan Zongjun formed an alliance, intending to control the situation and fight against Wanyan Zonggan. Not only that, there are more than a dozen kings in the Taizu line, plus the original group of civil and military officials, nobles and magnates who were loyal to Taizong, as well as those who were dissatisfied with Wanyan Zonggan, they formed a huge force, which was so huge that it could not be contained, to put it bluntly, either take a step forward and seize the throne, or be cleared out.
The Jin country as a whole is still a slave system, and there are many contradictions between the nobles, which have never stopped, and this contradiction has gradually sublimated at this time, and they have stood in line with their actual needs.
Although Wanyan Zongqi is arrogant and unreasonable, greedy and rude, he is not brainless, how could he easily fall into it? At this time, Wan Yan followed this desperate plan for a long time, and first went to visit his adoptive father Wan Yan Zonggan, this game, without Wan Yan Zonggan's participation, would not be able to go on no matter what.
Wanyan Zonggan has been in a very low mood recently, although he has always leaned towards the government and the opposition, he has never set foot in the army.
If you don't get involved in the army, you are destined to be powerless in many things, although it is Wanyan Kang who inherits the throne, but Wanyan Zonggan is still somewhat unwilling in his bones, but the situation in the Jin Kingdom is like this, and it is not something he can reverse.
Now Wanyan Zongbi led an army of 100,000 to be infected with the plague and disappeared into the vast grassland, which made Wanyan Zonggan completely insulated from the army, although there are still some army generals who obey orders, but their influence in the army is far less than that of Wanyan Zongqi, and this disadvantage is difficult to make up.
Wanyan Zonggan, who was annoyed by the fire, didn't expect the Son of Heaven to come to his house, so he asked the eldest son Wanyan Chong and the second son Wanyan Liang to greet him, and he waited in the back hall.
Wan Yan was very dissatisfied with Wan Yan Zonggan's attitude, however, this guy was deep in the city, pretending not to see anything, and took the initiative to get close to Wan Yan Chong and Wan Yan Liang.
After Yan Yan entered the inner hall, he took the initiative to perform the gift of father and son.
Wanyan Zonggan didn't feel inappropriate at all, he owed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister's foot is inconvenient to move, please forgive me." ”
"Father, it's okay, I'm here to see you." Wan Yan glanced at him, which meant that he had something important to talk about.
Wan Yan Zonggan waved his hand, signaling Wan Yan to charge, and Wan Yan Liang went out.
There were only Wan Yan Zonggan and Wan Yan Gang left in the room.
After thinking about it, Yan Yan said, "Father, I want to take down Yan Zongqi. ”
"Oh, do you have any plans?"
"Yes." Wan Yan Yan gave out his plan completely, and finally he said: "Father, this bureau can only be done by you, if you don't take this step, Wan Yan Zongqi will sooner or later go to the road of killing the king, and then the situation will be difficult to clean up." ”
"The first strike is the strongest, Wanyan Zongqi has always been arrogant, your fourth uncle is not here, no one in the army can suppress him, if you don't eradicate it, there will definitely be chaos." Don't worry, I'm here to support you, be bold and let it go. ”
"Then I'll go back and prepare first."
Wan Yan went back happily.
Wan Yan has just left, Wan Yan Chong, Wan Yan Liang have all left today.
After Yan Zonggan motioned for his two sons to sit down, he said, "Did you hear the conversation?" ”
"I hear you."
"What do you two think about this?" Wanyan Zonggan still likes Wanyan Liang, and always feels that his eldest son Wanyan is too practical and lacks strategy.
Wan Yan Chong smiled and said: "I think it's a good thing, after the elimination of Yan Zongqi, there will be no one in the court who can compete with my father." ”
Wan Yanliang shook his head, and he retorted: "This matter is weird. On the grounds of his father's foot disease, let his father no longer be in power and no longer go to the court, so that Wanyan Zongqi jumped out to seek the usurpation of the dynasty, and then wiped it out. On the surface, there is no problem with this, but if we continue to deprive our father of his power on the grounds of his father's foot disease once Yan Zongqi is finished, then we will not be cleared out. ”
"No, Wan Yan is my father's adopted son." Wan Yan Chong and Wan Yan Kang are good friends, so they naturally help Wan Yan Kang speak.
Wanyan Zonggan was very disappointed, he patted the side of the bed and said: "You are a waste, people kill two birds with one stone, not only to get rid of Yan Zongqi, but also to get rid of your father, you Douban can't see it, what use do I want you." ”
Wan Yanchong saw that his father was angry, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Father, don't be frustrated, the son has a plan to ensure that Wan Yan can steal chickens and rice, not only can he eradicate Wan Yan Zongqi, but also assist his father in ascending to the throne." Wan Yanliang is a careerist and extremely strategic, he showed extraordinary talent at a very young age, and his wisdom is far above that of his brother.
"Oh, speak up and listen."
Wan Yan Zonggan showed an appreciative smile on his face, he believed that Wan Yan Liang could say this, there must be a way to solve it, so he wanted to hear what his high opinion was.
"No matter how arrogant Yan Zongqi is, it has not yet reached the point of seizing power by force, at most, it is to assassinate Yan Zongqi. And Wan Yan had already laid a net and waited for Wan Yan Zongqi to send someone to assassinate him, and then execute Wan Yan Zongqi on the charge of rebellion. The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and when the time comes, my father can take the opportunity to uproot the Taizong lineage. This kind of bloody purge will encounter a backlash, as long as we make a little layout, there will be people who will take revenge for the Taizu family and take the opportunity to kill the king, at that time, my father will come out to preside over the overall situation, and I believe that no one will dare to object. ”
"It's not easy to assassinate Yan Kan, besides, we don't have control of the army, so if we don't do it, it will cause chaos." Wan Yanchong is not optimistic about this plan, and he doesn't think that this can allow his father to ascend to the throne.
Wan Yanliang didn't refute and shook his head gently.
Wan Yan Zonggan immediately understood what was going on, and he waved his hand to signal Wan Yan Chong to go out first.
"Okay, now it's just our father and son, how do you say to assassinate Yan Yan."
"Erchen has a good relationship with Queen Pei Man, the queen of Wanyan Kang, and the assassination in the palace can ensure that the palace door is wide open at the critical moment, as long as Wanyan is drunk on the day of the act, this brother can do it, after all, the two are good friends, and the son is afraid that his brother will be soft-hearted and bad."
"It's okay, I'll convince him. But Wan Yan Yan has grown up, and his power is not small, once he kills the king, it will indeed cause turmoil, and I am afraid that the situation will not be easy to control. ”
"I have a way, I just need to properly expand it when I finish cleaning Yan Zongqi's forces, and dispose of Wan Yan Yuan, Wan Yan Cha Thorn, Wan Yan Tesi, Wan Yan Ah Leng, Wan Yan Tart Leng, and others in a timely manner. After all, Wanyan Zongqi's power is so huge, even if Wanyan Zongqi is arrested and killed, others will not sit still, and assassination incidents will emerge in endlessly, and it is normal for these people to die. Father personally appeased some of the Taizong lineage, I believe that they are willing to serve their father in order to protect themselves, I have made a list, father, take a look. ”
Ma Shangshu Zuo Cheng Tang Kuo debate, Pingzhang political affairs Wan Yan Bingde, Zuo Cheng Prime Minister Wan Yan Zongxian, Dali Qing Wan Yan Wu Dai and other more than a dozen people are obviously implicated in the three aspects, on the surface loyal to His Majesty Wan Yan Yan, in fact, the relationship with Wan Yan Zongqi is not bad, the key is that under the pull of Wan Yan Liang, and Wan Yan Zonggan also has a certain connection.
Wan Yan Zonggan didn't expect that Wan Yan Liang had already prepared, he said with a smile: "If this matter can be done, in the future, it will be passed on to you." ”
"Thank you, Father." Wan Yanliang had a triumphant smile on his face.
Wanyan Zonggan had the idea of chasing the throne before, but as time went by, his body was not as good as a year, and in this case, the idea of chasing the throne was not as strong as before, but seeing Wanyan Liang's performance, he felt that he had to do something for this son, and besides, Wanyan Liang did this, it can be said that he was broken, and in this case, there was no need for him to take care of it so much.
In terms of marching and fighting, it is true that Wanyan Zonggan has not made many achievements, and he is not a handsome talent, but he has been in charge of the government for so many years, and his grasp of the situation of the court is definitely a super-first-class existence. Since he decided to take this step, he decided to gather his cronies to plan how to take down Yan Zongqi, and by the way, to test everyone's attitude towards himself as emperor.
When Wanyan Zonggan was secretly arranged, Wanyan Zongqi was already sharpening his knife, this guy has been preparing for many years, just waiting for this day. Originally, Wanyan Zongqi didn't have the courage to kill the monarch, but now Wanyan Zongbi is gone, which provides him with the possibility of killing the monarch.
Killing the monarch is obviously not a trivial matter, Wanyan Zongqi is ready to find an opportunity to preemptively control the situation after discussing with several younger brothers, Wanyan Zongchang and Wanyan Zongjun.
When you want to doze off, someone hands you a pillow.
Just when Wanyan Zongqi was about to look for an opportunity, several accidents happened, the first of which was that Wanyan Zonggan no longer went to court because of a foot disease. Of course, this is just a superficial article, in fact, the whole capital knows that the fuse of the matter is Wanyan Liang, the second son of Wanyan Zonggan, who is in trouble, and this arrogant young man is not innocent with Pei Manshi, the queen of Mourning, which angered the Son of Heaven and expelled Wanyan Liang, and then Wanyan Zonggan was not allowed to go to the court because of the problem of foot disease.
The second thing, the horse Shangshu Zuo Cheng Tang Kuobian, who was originally a confidant of the Son of Heaven, was beaten by the Son of Heaven because he was drunk and misbehaved, this matter reveals a trace of weirdness, what is the secret behind this, outsiders don't know, you must know that this Ma Shangshu Zuo Cheng Tang Kuobi is in charge of the palace guards, which makes people think of many possibilities.
The third thing is even more outrageous, after the Pingzhang political affairs are over, Yan Bingde doesn't know which tendon is twitched, and he actually collided with the Son of Heaven in the court, and this collision caused a dispute between the two major factions in the DPRK and China, and the scene seemed to be only one step away from the fire.
Three bizarre and strange things are linked together, so that Wanyan Zongqi understands that Wanyan Yan, the Son of Heaven, is doing a game, and no matter what he does, he will be cleansed, obviously this young Son of Heaven will not tolerate himself anymore.
The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers.
Wanyan Zongqi knew that he had walked to the edge of the cliff, and there was no way out, and now it was definitely time for the fish to die and the net to break. If he doesn't kill Yan Kang, this young man will also eradicate himself.
The current question is whether to seize power by force or to kill the king, and for a while, Yan Zongqi can't make up his mind, and the sworn parties below are also arguing.
The armed seizure of power can be said to be once and for all, and the situation in the DPRK is completely controlled. However, it is too risky to do so, and if it fails, it will be a catastrophe and everyone will be purged. Killing the king, although the risk is small, after failure, it is only the black pot that finishes Yan Zongqi's back, and the people below are the least likely to die, so everyone tends to kill the king.
Kill the king, in the end, everyone finalized the plan, Wanyan Zongchang recommended a top killer organization to everyone, the leader is called Xiao Jiujiu is a Xi people, is a top master, although the price is 10,000 taels of gold, plus 300 beautiful girls, the price is expensive, and the beautiful girl needs to be sent to Goryeo first, and half of the gold has to be paid first, although the conditions are so harsh, everyone finally agreed.
The harsh conditions reassured everyone, after all, it was to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, if the conditions were simple, then everyone would not be sure, so everyone firmly believed that Xiao Jiujiu's right side had enough strength to kill Yan Yan
