Chapter 434: The Careerist Behind It
Since there were no accidents in Qingshui Nunnery, Yelu Yuanyi's situation was much simpler, although he did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, he still occupied the capital and occupied the palace with the cooperation of Wanyan Fushou.
This coup d'Γ©tat, with very few casualties, can be said to have quietly completed the change of the throne. Although the change of the throne is a huge shock to the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom, but the current Jin Kingdom is internal and external troubles, in this case, the nobles acquiesced to Wan Yan Yong's behavior of killing the monarch, after all, in comparison, it seems that Wan Yan Yong is more suitable to be the emperor than Wan Yan Liang, especially in the case of the Han army's pressure on the border, the Jin State does need such a person who can turn the tide, there is no doubt that you, among the nobles, no one is more suitable than Wan Yan Yong.
The emperor, the empress, the crown prince, and the emperor's own brothers were basically executed, and in this case, Wanyan Yongcheng Emperor almost did not encounter too strong resistance and successfully ascended to the throne.
Change of dynasty, new tide and new atmosphere, but the nobles of the Jin Kingdom have no time to celebrate, after all, now the Han is a large army pressing, if you can't repel the Han army, then whoever becomes the emperor is sitting on the edge of death, which is equivalent to accelerating death.
The first suggestion put forward by Yelu Yuanyi, who had the merit of supporting it, was to negotiate peace with the Han army. In his opinion, the current Jin is worried about internal and external troubles, and in this case, against the powerful Han army, I am afraid that it will take the kingdom to continue to fight, and it is better to negotiate peace in advance.
Are peace talks really good? Talking about peace with the wolf-like Han is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger and seeking his own death, but if he does not make peace, the Han iron cavalry will sweep and the Jin Kingdom will be doomed, which is obviously not acceptable to these nobles. After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the Jin country, how can they surrender without a fight?
Negotiating peace is not the same as surrendering, this plan is acceptable to Yan Yong, after all, it is a usurpation of the king, the throne is unstable, and it takes a certain amount of time to consume, but at this time, what bargaining chips can be taken out to negotiate peace with the Han Dynasty?
It doesn't matter if you don't have chips, it's good if the other party agrees to the conditions, it's nothing more than money, beauties, war horses, and cities, of course, the only things that Jin Guo can give.
Peace talks, hehe, before the envoy of the Jin Kingdom left, Nangong Yuyue arrived at Huludao, she was very lucky, and she saw His Majesty soon after the princesses left.
The emperor of the Jin State Wan Yan Liang was killed, and the new emperor Wan Yan Yong succeeded to the throne, in fact, the Jin State at this time was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and with the strength of the Han Dynasty, he could completely destroy the Jin State in one go. However, after listening to Nangong Yuyue's statement, the Son of Heaven said with a smile: "Girl, you have behaved very well this time, what do you think about the accession of the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom." β
The Son of Heaven simply asked, after all, he was also attracted by Nangong Yuyue's freshness and refinement that did not eat the fireworks of the world, and the smooth and delicate ice muscle jade bone seemed to exude a white jade-like luster, deeply Xi Yin's gaze, and the whole person's mind was anchored.
"The slave maid thinks that Wan Yanyong, the new monarch of the Jin Kingdom, should come to sue for peace."
"Oh, so do you think I should accept or refuse?"
"The slave didn't dare to say it."
"Say, I forgive you for your innocence." The Son of Heaven slowly walked in front of Nangong Yuyue, leaned down to hold up the beauty's chin, and said affectionately: "Say, tonight, you stay and sleep, I have enough time to love you." β
It can be said that the first thing after joining Fengming is to vow to dedicate himself to His Majesty, fight for His Majesty all his life, and give birth to the dragon seed for His Majesty is the supreme pursuit and the ultimate dream.
Waiting, hearing this, Nangong Yuyue was excited, her face was flushed with shame, she slowly raised her head, looked at the Son of Heaven with affection, and said softly: "The concubine thinks that the Han can accept peace talks. β
"Why?"
After the Son of Heaven picked up Nangong Yuyue, he strode towards the inner room.
The reason is very simple, that is, as time goes by, the temperature of the Jin country is getting lower and lower, and fighting at this low temperature is obviously extremely unfavorable to the Han army, and the further you go, the closer you are to the core area of the Jin country, the stronger the resistance of the Jin country will be. Perhaps, the Han already has the strength to crush the Jin Kingdom, and it is also a fierce tiger fighting a fierce money leopard, and it will win, but the damage will be great. The real war of annihilation of the country, if it is fought in one go according to the current situation, the total casualties of the Han army will eventually exceed 200,000, or even more.
The negotiation of peace, on the surface, gave the new emperor of the Jin State time to prepare for it, so that he had enough time to calm down the internal opposition forces, and finally had the ability to integrate the Jin forces and deal with the Han Dynasty. From another point of view, in just a few years, the Jin State has experienced the transformation from Wanyan Wu begging to Wanyan Liang, then to Wanyan Liang, and finally to Wanyan Yong, the Jin State has been in chaos, the emperor's authority is gradually decreasing, and those generals who can fight well have been purged.
The negotiation of peace is only temporary, and everyone knows this, in this case, for their own interests, the nobles of the Jin Kingdom will fall apart, and will no longer insist on maintaining the whole of the Jin Kingdom, but will seek a new way out and safeguard their own interests. To put it bluntly, as long as the recruitment of the Han is done well, there will be people who are willing to take over the baton of killing the monarch and stage the killing of the monarch again. With the change of the throne, there will be more traitors who are willing to serve the Han Dynasty, and at that time, the destruction of the Jin State may be a policy of appeasement, and there will not be too many casualties.
The redness of that eye deeply stimulated the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't wait to conquer over and over again, squeezing out this fairy who didn't eat fireworks in the world, but in the end, it was this man who lost his armor and collapsed.
The negotiation of peace finally kicked off, and the conditions of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty were not complicated, and it was enough to bear all the salaries of the Han army, plus 200,000 war horses, of course.
This condition is acceptable to the Jin State, in order to show sincerity, the Jin State sent a thousand girls to the Han Dynasty, which is called a harmony.
Negotiate peace, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty has returned, and the future will show sincerity, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty did not stay in Youzhou, but returned to the Eastern Capital. The Han army also withdrew one after another. The retreat of the Han army made the situation of the grassland tribe alliance awkward.
When the Han attacked the Jin country, the grassland tribal alliance thought that it saw the fall of the Jin country and saw the best opportunity for revenge, so it took revenge on the Jin country frantically, killing and plundering the people of the Jin country, and the means were extremely cruel, almost to the point of common anger of people and gods.
However, now, the Han has withdrawn its troops, in this case, the Jin State is relieved, and if it can't beat the Han army, there is a huge disparity in strength, but it is still easy to crush the grassland tribes. Sure enough, after the Han army withdrew, the nobles of the Jin Kingdom began to ask the Son of Heaven Wanyan Yongzuo to destroy the grassland tribes, which was a complete eradication, not just revenge.
With Xiao Jingyu and Wanyan Mouyan of Ulanhot sending the prelude to the counterattack as the first army of the counterattack, the grassland tribal alliance suddenly panicked, they were not afraid of the Jin army, which was less than 100,000 people, but worried that the Jin army would swarm behind, and in this case, they began to withdraw.
The grassland tribes were originally full of contradictions, but they united to fight under the pressure of the Jin State, in fact, the relationship between the tribal alliances was very bad, especially this time when they invaded the Jin Kingdom, in order to compete for wealth, women, population, and the leaders of the tribes quarreled almost every day.
Population, wealth can be measured by quantity, even if it is unfair when distributed, it is easy to coordinate, but women are different, how to find a balance between the beautiful and the ugly, and what kind of beauty the leaders of each tribe like, this can not be measured by numbers, and the competition for women is the contradiction in the contradiction.
In that era, in the relatively sparsely populated steppe tribes, women fought not only because they were beautiful, but because men needed them. It was more for the sake of reproducing the population, and those women who had given birth to children and were physically fit were more popular than teenage beautiful girls, and they were the objects of plunder by the steppe tribes.
When attacking, no matter how sharp the contradiction is, it is just a quarrel, after all, it has been winning, the contradiction between the grassland tribal alliance is not very big, under the suppression of the three major tribes, it is still peaceful, but when retreating, the three major tribes first fell apart, in this case, the already loose and loose grassland tribal alliance suddenly collapsed, no longer fighting together, but scattered and fled, all taking care of themselves, fleeing back first.
In the vast grassland, once escaped, it is undoubtedly a fish swimming in the sea, and it is still very difficult for the Jin army to pursue, more than 70 grassland tribes, large and small, each running their own, on the grassland without roads, each with their own ability, running around, which increases the difficulty for the Jin army.
The alliance of grassland tribes scattered and fled, and at this time, the Jin army in charge of the pursuit gradually parted ways. The Jin army is also constantly dividing troops, dividing troops, and dividing troops.
Nearly 300,000 Jin troops entered the grassland before and after, originally thinking of taking the opportunity to destroy the grassland, make a war fortune, and transfer the loss to the Han State to the top of the grassland tribes, but unfortunately this time the wise Jin Emperor Wan Yan Yong miscalculated.
Then only the 50,000 troops of the 300,000 Jin army came back, and the rest disappeared into the vast grassland and never came back, which is why the Emperor of the Jin State who was far away in Huining Mansion would not know.
Wanyan Mouyan didn't have a good show, this guy's army of 50,000 came back soon after he went out, he didn't think about destroying the grassland tribe at all, but kept an eye on the money in Ulanhot, so rich and rivaled the wealth of the country.
Ulanhot has the wealth of the country, and there are beauties who can fill a palace, originally this is the wealth accumulated by Yelu Yuanyi and Xiao Jingyu, and all of them have been robbed by Wanyan Mouyan.
The robbery of Ulanhot is not because Wanyan is greedy for money and lustful, in fact, this guy is neither greedy for money nor lustful, but a full martial artist, for those who are not interested.
The current emperor of the Jin Kingdom takes turns, Wan Yan Liang opened the curtain of killing the monarch, but Wan Yan Yong opened the door of Wan Yan Mouyan's desire to compete for the throne.
From the moment of the death of Wanyan Wu begging, the Jin Kingdom experienced the chaos of the dispute between Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zongqi, and with Wanyan Zonghan being cleaned up, countless princes and nobles, Wenchen and Wu will be cleaned up, and later after Wanyan Zongqi was uprooted, Taizong experienced two rounds of massacres, first by Wanyan Kang killed a batch, followed by Wanyan Liang and killed a batch, almost exhausted. And the Taizu family also lost most of them under the killing of Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yong, two guys who came from the throne in the wrong way.
Now there are not many truly noble royal families in terms of blood, and there are even fewer capable and ambitious ones. But it was precisely because of this handful of perfect Yan Qi that finally sounded the death knell of the destruction of the Jin Kingdom.
In fact, after Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta died and Jin Taizong succeeded to the throne after Wanyan Wu Qimai, the first heir in line was Wanyan Xianye, which was recognized by the nobles of the Jin Kingdom. And after the completion of Yan Xianye, who should succeed has not been determined, but from the perspective of ability, prestige, blood nobility, and the recognition of the army and nobles, the second prince Wanyan Zongwang is the first choice, in the first war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin State was directly captured by Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, and the official prestige of Wanyan Zongwang who returned from a great victory was extremely high.
It's a pity that the most regrettable thing happened, Wanyan Zongwang actually died in front of Wanyan Xianye, and Wanyan Xian also died in front of Wanyan Wu begging, which caused the chaos of the Jin Kingdom for more than ten years, and two emperors were killed one after another, and the prelude to the killing of the third emperor was about to begin.
Wanyan Qi is the eldest son of Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, this guy is ambitious and talented, and he didn't think about the throne originally, after all, his father died early, he was in the army, he had no relationship with the court, he had no connections, and the throne had nothing to do with him. The throne passed to Wan Yan Kang is also expected.
But after Yan Liang killed Yan Yan, this careerist Yan Qi began to have ideas, it turned out that the succession to the throne could still be played like this, and it was okay if he didn't get it.
Members of the royal family, bigwigs in the army, and important ministers in the court were purged one after another, and Wan Yanqi knew that it might be his turn one day, so he began to plan his own killing plan.
People are not as good as heaven, and when Wan Yan Qi's plan was not implemented, Wan Yan Liang, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, was killed. And at this time, the Han army had withdrawn, which made Wan Yan Qi firm up his plan to kill the king, after all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once Wan Yan Yong sat on the throne, there would be no chance.
Although the careerist Wanyan Qi has poor personal strength, he has a wide range of contacts, this guy is good at making friends, and Wanyan Mouyan and Wanyan Fushou have a lifelong friendship. Not only that, his younger brother Wan Yan Jing and Wan Yan Wen are the best military generals of the younger generation, and their military talents are a bit close to Wan Yan Zongwang back then, plus there is an extreme lack of excellent military generals in the Jin Kingdom now. The two brothers came to power very quickly, and each of them had 50,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, which was the capital of Wanyan Qi to kill the king.
