Chapter 411: Chaos is born

When Zhao Tan was about to launch a full-scale attack, he was caught by Wushu, and that was his eldest brother, Emperor Zhao Huan of Jingkang. Although he doesn't have any feelings for this big brother in his heart, his return to the country will also bring unpredictable political risks and troubles to himself, after all, the examples of the Yingzong brothers of the Ming Dynasty in later generations are there. The younger brother ascended the throne as emperor at a time of danger to save the country, but was restored by the redeemed elder brother, and he was "dead" in the following month, and all the ministers he had supported were killed.

However, Zhao Ta could not ignore the threat of Wushu, because he insisted on attacking, Wushu could first choose to usurp Zhao Huan as emperor and let their brothers fight, and the country was in danger of splitting. In addition, Wushu can also choose to 'tear up the ticket', this ending seems to be the least troublesome for Zhao Ta, but it will also make him sit on the rumors of 'killing his brother and usurping the throne', and in the Zhao royal family that governs the country with 'benevolence and filial piety' and the Great Song Dynasty, which pays attention to etiquette and law, will leave a notoriety, resulting in the stabilization of the regime being shaken, after all, a person who can even give up his brother for the throne cannot be trusted and supported. Therefore, Zhao Ta had to choose the peace of Daying Jinguo.

The war ended with the submission of the Jin State, the Great Song Dynasty welcomed back the first emperor and obtained a large amount of land and compensation, in the eyes of outsiders, the Great Song Dynasty won the victory, achieved unprecedented results in terms of territorial territory, and also obtained a large amount of war reparations. But in Zhao Ta's view, he is actually a loser, and the biggest winner is a seemingly cornered vulture who seems to be forced.

As a result of the war, Zhao Ta not only lost a good opportunity to cut gold, but also carried a burden that could not be killed or thrown away. It also caused a small storm. The investigation results of the incident seem to have nothing to do with Zhao Huan, but how can there be waves without wind in the world. And that paper agreement also made it impossible for him to start another war in a short period of time. So that the Jin country, which was barely breathing, won time to breathe.

In the case that the situation is seriously unfavorable to his side, Wushu can successfully make peace with Song Yu. He also re-established trade exchanges, demonstrating his outstanding military ability and political skill, and without the vigorous efforts of the Wushu, the Jin side would not have survived the fierce offensive of the Song Dynasty like a pouring of mercury. The fact is that he simply swallowed the sandwich rice, which not only avoided the danger of losing the country again, but also enabled the Jin country to survive, preserved the land of the Jurchen people's dragon prosperity, and safeguarded the interests of the country and the nation to the greatest extent.

After the armistice. Wushu understood that the Jin State was completely unable to use troops against the Song in this situation, but the Song could attack the Jin at any time, so he adopted a policy of shrinking his forces and turning to a full-scale defense; Internally, they will train elite troops, promote young and middle-aged generals, consolidate internal affairs, recuperate, and improve the financial situation that is tending to collapse. At this time, the Great Song Dynasty focused its strategy on the north and south of the desert to fill the power vacuum after the complete retreat of the Jin State. So that the country of Jin was also able to obtain a rare peaceful environment.

For the increasing strength of the Song Dynasty and the expansion of its sphere of influence, the Wushu took a bystander posture, that is, the Mughul who had posed a threat to the Jin State. He only secretly supported the Tatar troops to contain them, and did not directly participate in the war, so as not to give the Song army a reason to intervene. What relieved him was that Zhao Er seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Kingdom of Jin after Zhao Huan's return. Maybe it's because they don't care about him as an opponent at all, but they're busy making money by any means. Even opened part of the field to Jin for trade, although it was darker. But it also made the economic situation of Jinguo improve slightly.

In recent years, as the third-generation head of Jinguo, Wan Yan Yan doesn't seem to be very interested in driving the train of Jinguo. In fact, as early as after the death of the crown prince Wan Yan Ji'an, he had already lost interest in dealing with the affairs of the court, but with the imperial uncle's vultures, the affairs of the court and the central government basically did not need Wan Yan to come forward to deal with them. Therefore, in the past seven or eight years, Wan Yan's main work content was drinking, hunting, occasional intermittent psychotic episodes, and killing people indiscriminately with a sharp blade. In addition to his own son Wanyan Daoji, there were more than a dozen ministers such as members of the royal family, including Hubu Shangshu Wanyan Zongli.

After completing Yan Yan's easy life, he tried his best to get it, and his physical condition was in every situation, and he was almost unable to deal with military affairs normally and carry out normal political activities, even if he did not take a back seat, he could only rest and recuperate at home. Therefore, this year, after learning that his old enemy Hebula died of illness, Wushu submitted a request to Wanyan to retire early. Zhao Ta pinched his fingers and calculated, the lifespan of Wushu has not yet arrived, and there should be a few years to live, in fact, he really doesn't want Wushu to die now......

At that time, the four great powers in East Asia, the Liao State had already perished, and the territory was divided between the Song and Jin; Western Xia was already in the encirclement of the Great Song Dynasty after the Song Dynasty captured Gaochang, and its famous general Cha Ge had long lost the 'interest' in fighting Zhao Ta again, and was more obedient than a good baby, and Zhao Ta couldn't bear to find fault and beat him;

As for Wushu's retirement application, Zhao Ta didn't need to calculate and knew that he would not be approved by Wan Yan Kang, who only knew how to spend his days with alcohol. In fact, Wan Yan's mental condition is already very terrible, he is an intermittent psychopath, and he is unable to deal with the major affairs of the government normally. Therefore, Wanyan will never let this imperial uncle retire easily, even if Wushu is already very sick.

Wushu is destined to do his best for Jin Guo, but Zhao believes that his resignation letter will inevitably make waves. Because the ministers of the Jin State knew very well in their hearts that with Yan Yan's current mental state, they were not suitable to take charge of the military and political affairs of the Jin State at all, and they all relied on the Taishi Wushu to maintain the operation of the Dajin Kingdom. Since the Taishi is now going to resign and recuperate, of course, there are many well-wishers in the court who 'help' the emperor to deal with the affairs of the court after the Taishi's abdication......

And Zhao Ta is most interested in the Wushu is one of the young talents Wan Yan Liang, this is brave and knowledgeable, in history it was he who killed Wan Yan Yan to seize the throne, and after becoming the emperor, he moved the capital to Yanjing, and even the ancestral tomb was there, he perfected the centralization of power, further consolidated and established the rule of the Jin Dynasty, but he was lustful and murderous, and was finally overthrown and killed by the clansmen. But with the arrival of Zhao Tan, the emperor may not be able to be the emperor.

Because the emperor Wanyan lost his father since he was a child and grew up in the house of his uncle Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Liang naturally became his childhood playmate, and he took great care of his little cousin after becoming the emperor. Wan Yanliang Under the care of the emperor, the cultivation of Uncle Taishi's subordinate officials rose like a rocket. The political career was very smooth, almost jumping one level in one year and four levels in two years, and gradually approached the highest leadership authority of the Jin State. When Wan Yanliang participated in the rescue and failed to attack Goryeo, he was only a commander and a hussar general. And just four years later, he was already the general of the Dragon and Tiger Guard, staying in Zhongjing, and the doctor of Guanglu.

Zhao Ta learned through the news sent by the Intelligence Department that Wan Yan Liangzheng, who was proud of the spring breeze, was close to his sister-in-law, Wan Yan Liang's wife, and Empress Pei Man, and there were also scandals about the two from time to time. This not only confirms the rumors in history that she is beautiful and lustful, but also shows that the empress of Dajin Kingdom is starting to be restless again, and she is also trying to win over the important ministers in the court, wanting to help her drunkard husband take care of the government and politics, and strive to be a first lady who 'goes to the court and can go to the kitchen'.

This woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she participated in the government when the Wushu army defeated Goryeo, and placed cronies in an attempt to interfere in politics. But because Wushu quickly regained control of the government after returning to China, basically no one dared to argue with him and compete for power. The fate of Tian Jue and the others also told her that she was not fledgling and was not the opponent of Taishi at all, which made her temporarily put away her ambitions. Now that Wushu has written and resigned, it shows that the Taishi, who is in both the military and political circles of the Jin State, is physically and mentally exhausted and unbearable.

Zhao believes that the two careerists who hook up with each other will not give up this opportunity to fight for power. But the relationship between Empress Pei Man and Wan Yan Liang is a mutual use, and both of them are madmen with extreme political ambitions, the purpose of the alliance between the two sides is to obtain their own political interests, and the purpose of Empress Pei Man is to form a private business and control the government. And Wan Yanliang's purpose is even more terrifying, and it can be called unspeakable, so Zhao Ta doesn't say it, I'm afraid that there is no third person who knows what he wants for the time being.

Zhao Ta has grown up in the whirlpool of struggle for power since he was a child, and of course he knows the squalor and darkness of politics, and no one involved in it dares to claim innocence. And in order to achieve the goal, it is unscrupulous, family affection and friendship are things that can be used and betrayed, not to mention the unsightly relationship between Yan Liang and Queen Pei Man. Now they can form an alliance and use each other, and when they achieve their goal, the two will bite each other in the blink of an eye.

But now the problem is that Jin Guozhong covets the power in the hands of the vultures, but there are not only Yan Liang and the two of them, many of them are eager to try and ready to devote themselves to it at any time. Although Zhao Ta knows the future ending of Jin Guo, it is a pity that he will not reveal the mystery at once, but will reveal some inside stories in time to guide the development of the plot. There will inevitably be excitement to watch in the Dajin Dynasty, but once they become a pot of porridge on stage, Zhao Ta, who is watching the play offstage, will wait for the opportunity to make an unfair ruling for them......
