Chapter 292: The Root of the Civil Strife in Jin
At the banquet, everyone was toasting Yan Lou's room, you must know that this is the first general of the Jin Kingdom, if he wasn't injured, how could he not participate in the battle of the Song Dynasty. In the eyes of everyone, if Wanyan Lou went on an expedition, he would definitely be able to defeat the Han army, instead of being wiped out like Wanyan Zonghan.
Wanyan Lou was also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he was very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for sending him to Goryeo, and felt that His Majesty believed in himself and reused himself, so he must destroy Goryeo in return.
Watching everyone toast Wanyan Lou's room, this made Wanyan Wu Qimai very happy, he firmly believed that these martial artists were simple-minded, as long as they planned properly, they could control the military power step by step. As long as the military power is controlled, then the change of the crown prince system will be a matter of course.
Wanyan Lou Room walked up to Wanyan Wu Qimai with a wine glass, and said very reverently: "The minister is very grateful for Your Majesty's trust, this time I will definitely play the majesty of the Jin Army and destroy Goryeo at a lightning speed." Let the people of the world know that the Jin Army is invincible and can sweep the world. ”
Wanyan Zongbi was so wise, he immediately understood that Wanyan Lou was ridiculing Wanyan Zonghan's defeat, but fortunately, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang have always been regarded as the twin walls of the empire. However, Wanyan Zongbi was convinced by his second brother Wanyan Zongwang, and he looked down on Wanyan Zonghan in his bones, and this time Wanyan Lou sarcastically mocked Yan Zonghan, so he did not come forward to stop it.
The empire is double-walled, in Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Lou Room, it seems to be a joke, they all admire the second prince Wanyan Zongwang, but they look down on Wanyan Zonghan in their bones, because in the hearts of these two cutting-edge war gods, the reason why Wanyan Zonghan has made great achievements is not that he is capable, the key is the preference of Marshal Wanyan Xianye.
Wanyan Zongbi was young and didn't catch up with the battle to destroy Liao, so he didn't have many achievements and couldn't take it, in fact, this arrogant guy only admired the second brother Wanyan Zongwang in his heart. As for Wanyan Lou Room is the first general of Dajin, his combat power is high, ranking first, and his strategy is also first-class, but his background is not as good as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang is noble, and he has contradictions with Marshal Wanyan Xian, and he is seriously injured, which has led to the drag on his record.
Wanyan Wu Qimai was very satisfied with Wanyan Lou's attitude, he said with a smile: "The Jin army is invincible in the world, there is no need to verify, as long as you take Goryeo with lightning speed, all doubts will disappear, this is beyond doubt." You must know that Goryeo's tenacity can be said to be rare in the world. You must know that the powerful Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty had the combat power to sweep the world, but they still couldn't help Goryeo, which shows that Goryeo's combat power is strong. As long as you can take Goryeo, I will crown you as the prince. ”
Wooing, unscrupulous wooing, this is the emperor's prerogative, Wanyan Wu begging to buy knows, if you want to change the crown prince succession system, you can't rely too much on getting conspiracy, after all, you are facing a high-powered nobleman, and more should use yang schemes, so that opponents have nothing to refute.
Shocked, Wan Yan Lou Room was really suppressed, I didn't expect His Majesty to be generous, you must know that although he is also a nobleman in his own identity, he is far away from the prince. His Majesty the Emperor can be wooed by the Prince, of course he knows what it means, and of course he will not refuse.
After Yan Lou fell to his knees, after biting his fingers, he dropped three drops of blood into the wine glass, and after drinking the blood wine, he swore an oath: "If you don't break Goryeo, you'd rather die than pay it back." ”
"Get up, it's time to feast as a family today, and everyone has a good drink." Wanyan Wu Qimai glanced at Wanyan Zongbi and said: "Although it is difficult to attack Goryeo, after all, the territory is limited, and it only needs to be advanced layer by layer, and a strong army can force Goryeo to surrender step by step." However, the steppe is different, the steppe tribes are too scattered, the territory is vast, this battle is not easy, you take into account that it will be difficult to return without a year and a half, so you dispose of half of the spoils yourself. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
This banquet, on the surface, is just drinking, but in fact it contains too much content, too much, a prince's position will make Wanyan Lou, the first general of the Jin Kingdom, work hard for Wanyan Wu to buy and serve, and a light sentence is not difficult to return for a year and a half, and half of the spoils are disposed of by themselves, so that Wanyan Zongbi and the other three people lose the opportunity to attack the Great Song Dynasty, all of which is paving the way for Wanyan Zongqi.
Wanyan Lou was an extremely wise person, and he knew that it was definitely not that simple to crown the crown prince, so he visited Wanyan Wu and begged for it that night.
Wanyan Wu Qimai was very satisfied with Wanyan Lou's performance, and he didn't plan to go around in circles, so he said bluntly: "When you send troops this time, bring 20,000 sailors, attack by land and water, and destroy Goryeo, as long as you force the king of Goryeo to surrender, be willing to accept the Jin army stationed, and agree to send troops to assist our army in attacking the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to annihilate it." Then land from the sea to attack the east road of the Great Song Dynasty, and then quickly move south to outflank the rear road of the Song army, so that it cannot rescue the capital, do you understand? ”
"I understand." Wanyan Lou Room guessed this weight, obviously His Majesty the Emperor is paving the way for Wanyan Zongqi, you must know that Wanyan Zongqi was captured by the Song army and is still imprisoned in the capital of the Song Kingdom. If there is no earth-shattering work, it will be abolished in the future. However, there is nothing wrong with this, whose father does not pave the way for his son?
Wan Yan Lou Room is so wise that he only guessed this weight, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't imagine that His Majesty the Emperor was so ambitious to change the crown prince system, no one dared to think about this, at least Wan Yan Lou Room didn't dare to think about it.
After solving the problem of Yan Lou's room, Yan Zongbi, Yan Tart's lazy expedition, and Yan Hulu, the next step is to solve the problem of Yan Zongwang, you must know that Yan Zongwang's East Route Army is basically a triumphant return, and if it is not handled properly, it will cause big trouble. You must know that once Wanyan Zongwang goes on the expedition, then the destruction of the Song Dynasty will have nothing to do with Wanyan Zongqi. This point is the most critical part, Wanyan Wu has no good idea to buy himself, and he has to count on Han Lie.
Han Lie doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to drink, and almost every time he is alone with Wanyan Wu Qimai, he drinks alcohol, and this time is no exception.
Wanyan Wu begged to buy wine for Han Lie personally, I am afraid that in the entire Dajin Kingdom, only this Han Cai You is treated like this, which shows how much he attaches importance to his advisers and the military advisors of the Dajin Kingdom.
After watching Han Lie drink the wine, Wanyan Wu begged and said: "Wanyan Xian has also promised not to be the marshal of the capital again, and will not lead the army to the expedition again. Moreover, Wanyan Lou's room has also been arranged, and the question now is how to solve the problem of Wanyan Zongwang. ”
In front of Han Lie, a Han man, out of respect for this strategist, Wanyan Wu Qimai insisted on speaking Chinese, calling himself by his Chinese name, and calling the generals below. Wanyan Wu begged to buy Han Lie to die for himself, he knew that Han Lie was a descendant of the previous dynasty, with the ultimate goal of destroying the Song Kingdom, and he was still loyal to himself and the Jin Kingdom, and he would never betray himself.
Han Lie shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is not to solve the problem of Yan Zongwang, because this problem can be solved by Wei Chen with a little trick, the top priority is to redeem His Highness from the Song Kingdom as soon as possible, the longer the delay, the bigger the problem, the greater the difficulty." ”
Wanyan Wu begging to buy did not think of this, his thinking was the thinking of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, and he felt that as long as the army pressed the border and destroyed the Song State, he would successfully return Wanyan Zongqi. didn't realize how much influence being a prisoner in the Song State had on Wanyan Zongqi.
Han Lie continued: "If the issue of the crown prince is not involved, then it is understandable for His Royal Highness to stay in the Song Kingdom for a while longer, but as the crown prince, then being captured is a stain that is difficult to erase, and the longer it is, the greater the stain." When we send troops to the Song Kingdom, even if His Royal Highness returns, he will not be able to inherit the throne. As for the Second Highness, don't even think about it, only by using the rule of the eldest son can the original crown prince system be successfully overthrown, and nothing else is possible. ”
"Are you sure, sir?"
"I will not disgrace my mission, I will personally go to Bianliang, the capital of Song, this is also the first time I have gone in 20 years, and I will definitely sign an agreement to welcome His Highness back." Han Lie had always been so confident, and he said to Wanyan Wu Qimai: "As for the problem of the second prince, it is easy to solve, you only need to use a trick and go up the house to draw a ladder." ”
Han Lie's biggest advantage is that he only provides ideas, and he will never take the lead, which is Wanyan Wu's favorite place, and he also feels that only this kind of person is worthy of being the national teacher of the Jin State and his own adviser.
"Very good, then you can prepare to leave, within three days, I will work out the agreement, and the matter of Bianliang City will be entrusted to Mr."
"Wechen must bring His Highness back, and bring it back in glory to wash away the stain of being captured."
The last sentence is what Wanyan Wu Begging Mai wants to hear the most, since he has already formulated a plan to destroy the Song State, it doesn't matter how much the negotiation benefits, the key is how to wash away his son's stigma. Now, Han Lie has guaranteed this question, and he is in a good mood and decides to get drunk with the other party.
Wanyan Wu Qimai is a vigorous and resolute person, and the next day at the court meeting, Wanyan Zongwang was crowned as the king of Wei, and he was appointed as the national theory of shifting and Bo Jilie, and the crown prince Chen Ban Bo Jilie Wan Yan Xian Ye, and the state minister Wan Yan Sakai was responsible for the issue of sinicization of the political system.
The reason why the Jin country is so strong that it is incomparably strong is not only that the Jin army is invincible, but also that it is tolerant and absorbs everything that is suitable for the Jin country. For example, the Jin State firmly believed that the Han system was better, which was conducive to the Jin State's control of the vast territory, after all, it would destroy the Song State, Western Xia, Dali, Tubo, and Goryeo in the future. It's impossible to rely on the original system.,So the aristocracy is accepting of the sinicization of the system.,There are few opponents.。 Of course, in the military system, the nobles considered the Jin Kingdom to be the most powerful and unshakable.
For Wanyan Zongwang to be crowned King of Wei, the government and the opposition cheered, and everyone just saw that Wanyan Zonghan was completely abandoned, but no one could see what it meant behind this. Behind this is a kind of belittlement of Marshal Wan Yan Xian, but at this time, Wan Yan Xian is already the crown prince and is going to inherit the throne, so this kind of disparagement is not taken to heart, after all, the opportunity is still left to young people.
Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai was very satisfied with the reaction of the ministers, he knew that as long as Han Lie's side went well, then everything would fall into place.
"Zhongqing's family, the last time we went south, we already knew the situation of the Song Kingdom, and the destruction of the Song Dynasty should also be put on the agenda, but before that, we still have to make all preparations, which the Zhongqing family has to worry about. In the face of absolute strength, no plan will succeed. The hammer of the Jin State smashed down, even if there was a Han king in the Song State and a powerful Han army, it would not be able to stop the Jin State from riding on every inch of the Song Kingdom. ”
"Your Majesty is wise."
The wisest thing about Wanyan Wu begging is not to mention the specific time of the Song Dynasty, only in this way can he confuse everyone present. For him, only when he is fully prepared can he destroy the Song State, and blindly sending troops is not necessarily a good thing.
The structural reform of the Jin State is in full swing, whether it is the completion of the Yan Sakai or the completion of the Yan Slope, the Wanyan Zongwang is fully engaged, and the expansion of the Jin State has also accelerated the process.
On the first day of the fourth month of the third year of Jingkang, Wanyan Lou led 100,000 cavalry and 20,000 sailors to begin the expedition against Goryeo. Wanyan Zongbi led 50,000 cavalry to the east road, Wanyan Hulu led 50,000 cavalry to the middle road, and Wanyan Tart lazy led 50,000 troops to the west road.
Wanyan Yanmu led an army of 150,000 to press the Yellow River and put pressure on the Song State to ensure that the peace talks could proceed smoothly. A strong military is the strongest backing of diplomacy, and if there is no military deterrent, even if a diplomat is clever and spits lotus flowers, he will not be able to get the slightest benefit, after all, diplomacy is only a continuation of the military. How can you get a bargain at the negotiating table that you can't get militarily?
Han Lie, as the envoy of the Emperor of the Jin State this time, was fully responsible for the negotiations, and this time, he brought Zhao Kai, the king of the Song Kingdom, and Zhang Bangchang, the Xiangguo, which were all bargaining chips, after all, it was also logical to exchange the prince of the Great Song Dynasty for the King of Pulihu of His Royal Highness the Jin Kingdom (the name of the Jin Kingdom of Wanyan Zongqi Pulihu). As for the other nobles, whether they could be exchanged or not would be of any significance to Han Lie.
Han Lie received a mysterious carrier pigeon biography on the way out, and after he read it, he secretly sent Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, back to the Kingdom of Jin and imprisoned him. It seems that to welcome King Pulihu, there is no need for this Zhao Kai, the king of Song Guoyun, and with the words of this Prince of Song, this peace negotiation will be even more troublesome.
It's no wonder it's so troublesome, King Yun's mansion was given to King Han last time, and Princess Yun was also given to King Han. Han Lie sympathized with this cuckold king, but these had nothing to do with him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Before Han Lie set off, the delegation that gave gifts set off, and basically everyone in the important ministers of the Song Dynasty would have a heavy gift, anyway, these gold, silver and jewelry were all sent to the Song State to plunder, and after destroying the Song State in the future, they could be snatched back.
