Chapter 55 Parliamentary Council

On the morning of the second day after Aguta and Wang Lun met, Aguta ordered the Jurchen people to gather together and convene a general meeting of the clans.

Wanyan Agu sat on a tiger skin throne in the middle of the main hall. Although he was sitting, it could still be seen that he was a typical Jurchen man, with blazing eyes that made people look at him.

He was dressed today: a soap-colored hat that covered all his hair, and a back strap that the Jurchens liked hung from the back of the hat. On his body was an ochre robe, with a blue collar, lined with a veil head, narrow cuffs, a white jade belt around his waist, and a pair of white leather boots made of fine suede on his feet.

In front of Ah Guta, there is a mahogany table with vermilion lacquer and silver, and all kinds of fruits are stacked in the jade plate. There are several knives in a large gold platter, and the two small bowls next to the large platter have a pale yellow color. If you look closely, it turns out to be a type of Goryeo tribute, a bowl carved from a turtle shell called a hawksbill turtle, and the spoon in the bowl is made of ivory.

At the front of the hall was a Jurchen man who was not tall but unusually strong. His face was grim, and he seemed to know that this was an old man.

After Yan Sagai, he and Ah Guda are both the grandsons of Jingzu Wu Gunai. The eldest son of the impeacher of the Sakai father, and the second son of the impeachment of the father, the second son of the impeachment of the father. In terms of blood relationship, Sakai and Akuta are uncles and brothers, and he is only one year younger than Aguta.

This person is not tall, with a round face, a short beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He was resourceful, decisive, and shrewd, and was the right-hand man of Aguta in the war of unifying the tribes, and was an important adviser of Aguta in dealing with relations with the Liao Dynasty, and was respected as the "Minister of State".

The Jurchen did not establish a country, why did he respect him as the "minister of state"? This also starts with the inheritance of Jing Zu. Jingzu Wugunai had nine sons, and the original Tang Kuo family had five sons, in order: the impeacher, the impeachment of the bowl, the impeachment of the grandson, the Po Rashu, and the Ying Ge. After Jingzu's death, the position of chief was passed over the impeacher to the impeachment of Libo, and after the death of the impeachment of Libo, the position was passed over the impeachment of Sun to Po Ra Shu, and after the death of Po Ra Shu, the throne was passed to Ying Ge, and after the death of Ying Ge, the throne was passed to his nephew, Wu Yashu, the eldest son of the impeachment of Li Bo, the brother of Aguta, that is, Kangzong. Kang Zongnian was not allowed to stand as the son of his uncle's impeacher, so he changed his younger brother to "Minister of State" to show respect.

"Golden History" contains: "Sakai is a person, generous and wise, good at employing people, pure and thrifty at home, and good crops." Since the beginning of the state minister, he can tame the ministries, and he can get the love of the lawsuit, and there was a saying at that time: 'If you don't see the minister of the country, how can you decide the matter.' It can be said that Zacchaeus is a rare talent in internal affairs, the right-hand man of Aguta, and the second soul of Jurchen.

After Zacchaeus, it is Wanyan Xiyin, also known as the god of grains, the son of Wanyan Huandu, and in terms of generation, he is the uncle of Aguta and Sagai. This man is tall and burly, with thin eyes and long eyebrows and a slight mustache. He is proficient in Khitan and Chinese, and once led Aguta to envoy to Liao, brave and strategic, and is Aguta's confidant.

After that, it is Wanyan Wu begging, Wanyan A clutch, and Wanyan oblique. The oblique is also the half-brother of Aguta, Wanyan Xian (Han name Wanyan Gao). His status in Jurchen was nominally second only to his two brothers. is a figure below one person and above ten thousand, but in fact, he does not hold the real power of the Jurchens.

Recently, the Jurchens have absorbed the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and the officials have also been divided into civil and military, and they are divided into two sides.

The head of the generals is the son of the prime minister of the country, Sticky Han (Han name Wanyan Zonghan), he has big eyebrows and square face, a thick beard, and looks heroic. The father and son are the first in civil and military affairs, which shows that they are both capable people.

Behind Sticky Han was Ah Guta's second son Han Libu (Han name Wanyan Zongwang). He appeared to be about the same age as Sticky Han, and was not tall. Unlike the Jurchen people's brave and aggressive personality, he was a kind person, and was called the "Bodhisattva Prince" in the Jurchen army, but on the battlefield, he was a fierce general no less than anyone else.

Behind them is the fourth son of Aguta, Wang Lun's impressive Wushu (Han name Wanyan Zongbi). Aguta's third son, Liduo (Han name Wanyan Zongfu); The son of Muhan, the king of the pearls, Sheyma; Ah Guta's cousin tart lazy (Han name Wan Yan Chang); The Jurchen fierce generals Wanyan Lou Room, Yinshuke, Baoshan King and Xiao Qing and so on.

Looking at these ministers and clans in front of him, Ah Guta suddenly remembered his grandfather and brother, and remembered the hard work of the Jurchens over the years, and a thought that was difficult to describe in words suddenly came to his heart.

Looking at the items on the table again, Ah Guda sighed in his heart that only the strong are respected in this world!

On the table in front of this Akuta were gifts from Western Xia and Goryeo, including amber wine, glass cups, ivory, rhinoceros horn, and so on.

"The day before yesterday, I invited the envoy of Western Xia to be a guest and make friends with him. Later, another envoy from Goryeo came, and yesterday I saw the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. Ah Gu looked at the people in the hall and said the envoys of the Three Kingdoms in the past few days. Aguda stretched out his hand and pointed to the various gifts placed in front of him, and said, "These are all gifts from Western Xia and Goryeo!" ”

Han Li didn't hear Ah Gu moved to ask, and said bluntly: "This is the rise of my Jurchen, and all countries are vying to make friends, of course it is a great thing!" ”

After listening to his son's reply, Ah Guda did not comment, but looked at Zacchaeus, Wu Qimai, and Xi Yin.

Seeing his brother looking at him, Wu Qimai came out in crowd and asked, "Dare to ask Bo Jin, I don't know if there is a gift from the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Seeing that his younger brother Wu Qimai asked about the key point, Ah Gu was very relieved, and told him the truth: "In addition to the things in front of them, Western Xia and Goryeo also gave away several beauties. Da Song gave a gift of tea and wine, as well as a sword and armor! ”

Zacchaeus has the right to supervise and admonish, and when he heard the word "beauty", he saluted Ah Gu. "The people of the Central Plains say that Gentle Township is a hero's mound, and since ancient times, there are not a few people who have misled the country because of women's sex, and they also hope that Bo Jin will be self-disciplined."

In the face of Zacchaeus's advice, Aguda was not angry, and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the prime minister, those beauties have long been presented by me to the warriors in the clan who have never married." ”

Zacchaeus listened to Aguta's words, nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and then kept silent.

Tart lazy saw that his brother was not happy to receive the gift of the Three Kingdoms, but instead Xingshi mobilized everyone to inquire about everyone, and everyone was a little confused, and said: "Isn't it a good thing that others have sent us so many things, which are not available in the clan?" ”

"Tart, you're dozens of years old, don't you understand? Others have sent us so many things, have you ever been kind? Ah Guda sighed and said lazily to his cousin: "There is a saying among the Han people, it is called the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits." The three countries all want us to fight to the death with the Liao State, so that they can get the maximum benefit from it. ”

Han Li was also very puzzled: "But don't we and the Liao Kingdom have to tear their faces sooner or later?" ”

"But this morning and evening are exquisite!" Ah Guta did not have high hopes for his second son, Hanli, and patiently explained: "Now, we are only instigating the Bohai people and Xi people to harass the Liao State on the border, and we have not touched the bones of the Liao State at all. Not to mention. We, the Jurchens, have never waved the banner and said that we would go against the Liao State. ”

"As long as we don't put up a counter-flag for a day. The Liao State can't do anything to us. Even if a large army comes, we can question them. The annual tribute, we did not shorten theirs. What excuse does the Liao have for saying that we are rebelling? ”

Ah Guda couldn't help but nod his head when he said something, and secretly said that he had to learn more from his father Ah Guta.

"Western Xia and Goryeo are afraid of the rise of our people, even if they use some small means, they are not afraid." Seeing that Ah Guda had finished teaching Han Li, Wu Qimai spoke again. "And exchanges with the two countries can not only weaken the Great Liao, but also strengthen my Jurchen, why not!"

"The fourth brother has a point!" Wu Qimai's words coincided with what Ah Guda thought, and Ah Guda nodded and said: "The Great Song Dynasty has frequently used troops against Western Xia in recent years, which has greatly consumed the military strength of Western Xia. Goryeo defeated me and made me snort, and I don't have to be afraid! ”

Hearing Ah Guta's words, Wuzhu rolled his eyes and asked loudly, "Aya is worried about the Song people?" Wang Lun was too impressed by Wuzhu, so Wuzhu came up with this sentence.

Glancing at the fourth son, Ah Gu nodded and said, "Not bad!" Tea and wine of the Song people were the favorite of the literati and were used to entertain friends. But the sword is used for attack, and the armor is used for defense, both against the enemy! ”

Ah Guda recalled the scene when Wang Lun gave the gift that night, and said word by word: "Da Song is telling me that they like to make friends and are not afraid of any enemies!" ”

Although the deep meaning of Wang Lun's gift that night was not explicitly stated, Ah Guda had already understood it.

When Ah Guda finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while.

Wuzhu clenched his fists and said hatefully: "The Dudao Song people are weak, and they don't want to have a strong side." ”

Not to mention, Wang Lun's intention to show his strength in front of the Jurchens and create an image of the majesty and inviolability of the Han people has some effect. Ah Guda was worried about the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and Wuzhu also remembered the defeat under Wang Lun.

At this time, Zacchaeus was not silent, and spoke: "Bo Jin doesn't have to worry about the Great Song Dynasty hindering our clan, his country has long been too busy to take care of itself!" After speaking, Zacchaeus analyzed Ah Gu one by one.

"The Great Song Dynasty has been established for 150 years, although it occupies a large area of rich land on both sides of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and has a large population, but since Wang Anshi's failure to change the law and Sima Guang's restoration of the old, the country's situation has been sluggish. After Emperor Daozong succeeded to the throne, he only knew pleasure, spent all his time drinking and drinking, and reused the six thieves (15), and all the ministers had their own selfishness and did not put the country first, which caused the people of the Song Dynasty to rise in all directions. How can it be like my Jurchen monarch and ministers, and the country is getting stronger and stronger. ”

Zacchaeus can be said to be the first wise man of the Jurchens, and the Jurchen people are very convinced of him. Listening to his analysis, they were all shocked.

This Zacchaeus is worthy of being the Jurchen Prime Minister, and he also knows a lot about the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, so he only heard Zacchaeus continue: "Let's talk about the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty first, this Taoist sect has been pampered since childhood, and has developed a frivolous and prodigal character. As a son of heaven, he is especially obsessed with sensual dogs and horses, and playing football is his forte. ”

Besides, Cai Jing, the "Six Thieves" and other ministers guided Huizong to loot the people's wealth, being poor and extravagant, and extravagant. In order to build a large number of rockeries in the Imperial Palace, they searched for exotic flowers and stones in the southeast area and transported them to Tokyo by ship, which was called "Hanashi Gang". The people are miserable, the people are complaining, and the people's wealth is exhausted. In this way, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty was gradually hollowed out. If we are still too busy to take care of ourselves, how can we hinder our country. ”

Ah Guda nodded yes, and all the ministers in the palace listened attentively, and it could be seen that everyone was very convinced by Zacchaeus's words.

"What I'm most afraid of is that we raised an army against Liao, but we were robbed by the Great Song Dynasty. After listening to this analysis of the Prime Minister, I can sit back and relax! ”

Zacchaeus said again: "The minister dares to boldly assert that the strength of my Jurchen army will be leveled, and the destruction of Liao is only in the palm of his fingers. The Great Song Dynasty was in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and the people were struggling to make a living, and sooner or later something would happen. When the time comes, I can't say that I will fall under the iron hooves of my Jurchen! ”

I have to say that this Sachaeus is a talent, who has a thorough analysis of the state affairs of the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, and even predicted the outcome of the army in advance.

After listening to Zacchaeus's analysis, Ah Guda's heart was surging, and destroying Liao was his greatest ideal since he ascended the throne. In particular, Zacchaeus's words strengthened his ambition to send troops to destroy Liao. If you can send troops to conquer the southern Song Huahua country, it will be great.

Thinking of this, Ah Guda stood up and said, "The current destruction of Liao is the top priority!" I have formed an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty to trade and exchange with each other. Funeral...... Let's discuss it after the destruction of Liao! ”

"Yes!" Ah Gu made a final decision and decided the foreign policy of the Jurchens, and everyone hurriedly said yes.

"False Lotus, Wuzhu!" Ah Guta remembered the suggestion to buy a horse again, and said by name: "Tomorrow, you two accompany the Song envoy to the market to buy horses, and everything will be as usual!" ”
