…

After several months, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other members of the Zhao and Song royal families and clans were finally brought to Jin Shangjing by the Jin people, and met the Dajin Emperor Wanyan Wu begging.

Unlike the Jin people who went south in the previous life, they calmly evacuated from the Song Realm, in this life, under the bite of the Chinese army, the Jin people who went south were almost wiped out, and finally under the sacrifice of Wanyan Zonghan and countless other Jurchens, only more than 10,000 Jin people (only more than 8,000 Jurchens left) could return to Yundi, and then return to Shangjing.

In this case, the people of the Zhao and Song royal families and clans were offended several times more than in the previous life, and in terms of numbers, thousands of people from the Zhao and Song royal families and clans went north, and in the end, less than a hundred of them made it to Shangjing alive, and more than 20 sons of Zhao Ji arrived at Huining Mansion alive, less than ten people, and even Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan almost died on the road.

On the way to be escorted, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others can be said to have suffered a lot of humiliation.

And those are not the biggest humiliations suffered by Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others.

After arriving at Huining Mansion and seeing Wanyan Wu begging, Wanyan Wu begging bought an order, stripped Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's clothes, and the Jin people slaughtered two sheep on the spot, and took off the bloody and hot sheepskin and draped it on Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, so that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan kowtowed step by step around the mausoleum of Wanyan Agu, and all the people of the Zhao and Song royal families and clans wore the clothes worn by the Jin people, wrapped their heads in handkerchiefs, wore sheep furs, exposed their upper bodies, and knelt aside, which means that the Jin Emperor sacrificed prisoners to Taizu Wanyan Agu, according to the words of the Jin people, this is called " Sheep Ceremony".

In the eyes of the barbaric and backward Jin people, the "sheep holding ceremony" is just a kind of surrender ceremony for the Jin soldiers.

But for the Han Chinese, this is a great shame.

Therefore, there are often people who can't stand the humiliation and commit suicide during the sheep ceremony.

But—

Among these people, excluding Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son, although they suffered the most humiliation, they did not have the will to die.

Later, Wanyan Wu Qimai ordered the canonization of Zhao Ji as the Duke of Dude, and Zhao Huan as the Marquis of Chongdu, imprisoned in Hanzhou (later Changtu County, Liaoning Province).

Although Wanyan Wu Qimai, like the previous life, put on a big victory and returned with a big victory on the grounds that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the two emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties, were captured, but how can people with insight know whether they won or lost when they went south this time?

So, beneath the surface of this "big victory" is an undercurrent.

It's not an exaggeration to say a word, because of the failure of this southward robbery, Wanyan Wu Qimai's rule has been questioned, that is to say, Wanyan Wu Qimai's throne is unstable.

And it's no wonder.

First of all, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, the initiators of this southward robbery, were all killed in battle, so naturally they could not buy anti-thunder for Wanyan Wu, so this thunder could only be resisted by Wanyan Wu Qimai, who agreed to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang to rob south.

This is also one of the reasons why Wanyan Wu Qimai still insists on carrying out the sheep ceremony and making the defeat a big victory fake.

Secondly, we have to talk about the political structure of the country.

When Wanyan Aguda started the army, the Jurchens were very poor and backward, and the "important ministers" under Wanyan Aguta were not obedient courtiers, but a group of military aristocratic partners - they were a bit like the shareholders of the company in later generations, and Wanyan Aguta was the chairman they elected, as for the emperor or something, it was actually just a false name.

At that time, Zhao Ji had sent Ma Zheng and others to form an alliance with the Jurchens by sea, that is, the alliance on the sea.

At that time, Ma Zheng and others went to the territory of the Jin people at that time to take a look, what is this imperial city called? The palace wall is a fence wall made of elm and willow trees, and there are many fences, women and dogs, and ordinary people who herd pigs and sheep in the courtyard of this imperial city. The imperial palace is also a simple house, the emperor and the empress sit side by side on the earthen kang, and there is a noble concubine next to them who is busy entertaining guests.

Although Wanyan Aguta himself and his ministers have the status of monarchs and ministers, their relationship is similar to that of close comrades-in-arms, often hooking shoulders, drinking, wrestling, bathing, and doing everything together, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior at all.

The key point is that they are also highly equal when discussing national affairs - whenever there is a major event in the "country", everyone sits down and discusses it together, and when it comes to matters that cannot be agreed upon, they raise their hands to vote.

Therefore, up to now, the imperial power of the Jin State is not heavy.

How heavy is it?

For example:

In the early days of Wanyan Aguta's fight against the world, although there were some treasures in the treasury of the Jin State at that time, Wanyan Aguda did not dare to use it, but even so, the "courtiers" of Wanyan Aguda were still not at ease, but the heart Wanyan Aguta would steal those treasures and squander them themselves, so, in order to appease the "courtiers", Wanyan Aguda swore to the "courtiers": The treasures in the treasury can only be used during the war, and if anyone violates this regulation, no matter who it is, even the emperor will be hit with 20 boards!

Since then, this provision has become an ironclad decree.

Wanyan has never violated it once in his life.

A few years ago, after Wanyan Agu was killed, Wanyan Wu begged to take the throne.

When he first came to power, Wanyan Wu Qimai also strictly abided by the agreement between Wanyan Aguta and the ministers, and absolutely did not dare to move the treasury.

But this can't be carried for a long time.

Slowly, after Yan Wu begged to buy, he couldn't stand the poverty, and thought: "I'm the emperor, why are I living so tightly?" ”

So, one day, after Yan Wu begged for money, he secretly opened the treasury and grabbed a handful of belongings from it, and then exchanged these belongings for wine and drink.

Soon, the prime minister found out that something was wrong when he was counting the treasury, so he immediately told another important minister, that is, Wanyan Zonghan before the war not long ago.

After Wanyan Zonghan heard this, he quickly investigated and found out that it was Wanyan Wu begging to do it.

Wanyan Zonghan did not be polite to Wanyan Wu Qimai because Wanyan Wu Qimai was the emperor, but strictly implemented the oath of Wanyan Aguda with other important ministers, pulled Wanyan Wu Qimai off the dragon chair, and played the twenty boards firmly.

After the fight, Wanyan Zonghan and others invited Wanyan Wu to return to the dragon chair, and then knelt down and kowtowed to ask for guilt.

As a result, Wanyan Wu begged to become the only emperor in history who was spanked by a minister.

Stealing something for wine to drink, he was beaten by the courtiers.

Causing such a big loss to the country, and setting up such a powerful enemy in Dazhong, those ministers, that is, those military aristocratic partners, can easily spare him and beg for purchase?

Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai has been trying to save his throne.

At first, Wanyan Wu begged to use force and military exploits to save his throne.

But it is impossible to imagine that in the past, when the invincible and invincible Dajin Iron Cavalry faced the Chinese army, they were defeated and retreated.

This not only made Wanyan Wu begging's previous plan completely frustrated, but also made Wanyan Wu's situation even more embarrassing.

Since you can't fight, how about it?

Forced by the situation, Wanyan Wu Qimai slowly started to negotiate peace with Dazhong......
