Chapter 463: Finish Yan Liang's Ambition
Wan Yan showed that Hui Ning took office as the marshal of the left road, but he did not have the sense of loss that Wan Yan Bingde had, but felt very relaxed and free, and did not have to worry about the moody Wan Yan and the insidious fourth uncle's vultures, and also got rid of the cunning and difficult woman. And he finally has his own one-third of an acre of land, and he can cultivate his own political soil and cronies like the Wushu of the past.
So, Wan Yanliang used his position as a marshal and his special identity to secretly erect a banner of recruiting talents in western Liaoning and establish his own team. At this time, a person walked into his circle, this person was named Xiao Yu, a member of the Xi clan, who was once a subordinate of Xiao Gan, the king of Xi, and was later forced to reduce his gold and was appointed as Meng'an, and was placed in Jinzhou after the loss of Yanjing. Originally, he could spend the rest of his life here peacefully, but in fact, he was a person who was unwilling to be lonely.
With the arrival of Wan Yanliang, Xiao Yu's peaceful life was broken. The two careerists hit it off at first sight and had a great conversation, and their common 'ideals' made them soon become close friends who talked about everything. In the conversation between the two sides, Wan Yanliang often expressed his dissatisfaction with state affairs and the court from time to time, and when he talked about his revenge, he was high-spirited and impassioned, but at this time, Xiao Yu was silent, just listened attentively.
After a period of investigation, in frequent exchanges and conversations, Xiao Yu thoroughly understood Wan Yanliang's life pursuit, insight into his political goals, and believed that Wan Yanliang was a young man with ideals, ambitions, abilities, and pursuits. understands that he does not want to be a powerful minister like his father and Wushu and enjoy the benefits of high-ranking officials, but to replace Wan Yan and become the master and ruler of the Jin State, and become a figure like Zhao Er of the Southern Dynasty.
Persuading people to rebel is never a fun errand, and if you don't do it well, you will be punished by the nine clans. The whole family was destroyed. Historically, those who persuaded rebellion generally did not end well: the rebellion failed, and there was a dead end; The rebellion was successful. will also be killed by the master, Xiao Yu can choose to report Wan Yan Liang's usurpation conspiracy to Wan Yan Liang. But Xiao Yu is a careerist and conspirator with a very complex personality, and this time he chose to stand firmly on Wan Yanliang's side. Xiao Yu finally said his thoughts to Wanyan Liang: "Your late father, Mr. Wanyan Zonggan, is the eldest son of Emperor Taizu, and the hearts of the people and the will of heaven should make him the emperor. ”
Xiao Yu decided to seize the big tree of Wan Yan Liang to help Wan Yan Liang achieve his political goals, and at the same time to win the last youth of his political career, he bet all the time of his life on Wan Yan Liang, the banker. In fact, this is also Wan Yanliang's inner thoughts. It's just that no one dared to say such rebellious words to Wan Yan Liang before, Wan Yan Liang was completely conquered by Xiao Yu's true feelings, and he finally found his first firm political ally and confidant friend in Zhongjing City, and at the same time changed the fate of Wan Yan Liang and Xiao Yu's life!
With Xiao Yu's support and instigation, Wan Yan Liang's political ambitions became bigger and bigger, especially when talking about the emperor Wan Yan Liang, Xiao Yu often scolded Wan Yan Liang, comparing Wan Yan Liang to the immortal monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and often complained that Wan Yan Liang could not display his ambitions. Xiao Yu's actions. made Wan Yan Liang begin to have extreme hatred and hatred for Wan Yan Liang, and he began to regard Wan Yan Liang as the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne and emperor, so Wan Yan Liang had a political attempt to kill the emperor and seize the throne for the first time in his heart.
Xiao Yu was actually the first enlightener and instructor of Wan Yanliang's bloody coup. If Yan Liang only had the idea of becoming the emperor before he met Xiao Yu, he had no specific implementation plan. So after meeting Xiao Yu, Wan Yanliang's idea was to use unscrupulous means to achieve his political goals. Their intention was to use bribery and coercion under their subordinates to buy off all kinds of fierce security and seek to conquer and control an armed force. First control the southern Liaoning region, and then capture Liaoyang. Establish the emperor and Wanyan to fight against each other, and call on all states and counties to respond to their own troops. In the end, they jointly overthrew the rule of the faint monarch Wanyan Yan.
However, Xiao Yu and Wan Yanliang's plan to seize power makes people look a little whimsical, and there is still a considerable risk, and the probability of success can be exaggerated to 50 percent, which is still based on the fact that he is a marshal all the way, and has the right to mobilize the military and political forces in the jurisdiction, but it is impossible to let everyone follow him, at least the veteran general who is placed by his side, Sa Liyu, will not run with him.
Moreover, Wushu did not send the elite soldiers of the whole country to the two marshal's mansions, but arranged several state capitals around the Beijing division as mobile forces, and in the hands of his own henchmen, he was fully capable of suppressing Wan Yan Liang's armed rebellion. In addition, Wan Yanliang lacks a foundation in the court, although he and Empress Pei Man are allies, but it is also based on the level of mutual use, and has his own bottom line, that is, he will never allow others to usurp the throne, otherwise what is the use of his title of queen.
Therefore, Wan Yan Liang's mutiny plan is more like the imagination of two political frustrations, but people also need dreams, if you don't try, you will never succeed, only by trying can you have the possibility of success, even if this possibility is very small, you have to give yourself a reason to persevere, this may be the original true thoughts of Wan Yan Liang and Xiao Yu's hearts. After listening to Xiao Yu's plan for an armed insurrection, Wan Yanliang's mind suddenly brightened, and he and Xiao Yu made a bloody alliance, determined to jointly raise troops and seek great causes, and realize the emperor dream that he had been pursuing for many years.
After the conspiracy with Xiao Yu ended, although Wan Yanliang was very excited, he finally retained a trace of sobriety and did not take action immediately. Otherwise, regardless of who can win the final victory in this civil war between Wan Yan Liang and Wan Yan Yan, but in the fraternal civil war, it is the whole country that is unlucky, and the comprehensive strength of the Jin State will be severely weakened, and this is a scene that some countries very much want to see. Therefore, if the Jin State launched a civil war, the final victor would not belong to either Wanyan Liang or Wanyan Liang, but to the Great Song Dynasty, the leader of their south......
To be honest, Wan Yanliang has not shown any talent in military affairs, but he has lived in the whirlpool of family struggles since he was a child, but he has a keen sense of political smell. When there was a fierce armed conflict between the Song and Jin countries in the northwest, he felt that his opportunity had come, first of all, he began to train the army in the name of preparing for war, arranged for his cronies, and deliberately set up a prison army that could not urinate with him, and turned the Zuo Marshal's Mansion into his own private domain.
The fighting in the northwest intensified, while the southern border was still calm, which made Wan Yanliang's heart rejoice. It was thankless to insist on exterminating the Tatars, which angered the Southern Dynasty and made it lose a big boost, so that the Song army used the empty space on the grassland to directly approach the Beijing Division, and the troops of the Right Marshal's Mansion were all contained in the border area.
In this way, Wan Yan Liang couldn't help but think, if the Song army could hit the Right Marshal's Mansion and hit the Huining Mansion, it would be best to kill Yan Liang and kill the Wushu. Then he has become the most powerful prince of the Jin country, and he also has a noble bloodline, and it is a logical thing to ascend to the throne. My heart is similar to you, just waiting for the clouds to blow the blue sky. ”
In this poem, Wan Yan Liang compares himself to the lonely green bamboo in the wind and rain, compares the ministers who tend to be inflammatory, and maintains Wan Yan Kang to ordinary flowers, and Wan Yan Kang to the spring breeze. He believes that his green bamboo does not need to rely on the beautiful wind and rain environment of spring to take root and sprout like those ordinary flowers, and he can stand out and make contributions in the extremely sinister political environment, and he can seize the power of the Jin State by blowing the blue sky and clouds, and give his ambition and conspiracy to the fullest.
And just when Wanyan Liang was in high spirits, Wanyan Bingde, who fled from Changchun Prefecture, brought him bad news, the Song army did not go to Huining Mansion, but took Changchun Prefecture, which was equivalent to copying their back road. Next, he received a letter of help from Fusan Zhongyi, and the Song army launched a full-front attack on the northwest border, hoping that he would send troops to attack the Song army attacking Wuzhou, in order to break the enemy's attempt to encircle the right marshal's army.
After Yan Liang received the request for help from the servants, he immediately summoned everyone to discuss whether to send troops. If the right marshal's mansion is completely annihilated, then the right wing of the left marshal's mansion will be completely exposed, protruding from the outside, and it is easy to be attacked by the Song army on both land and water. Therefore, it is necessary to send troops to rescue the Right Marshal's Mansion and ensure the safety of their flanks, so as to ensure their own safety and avoid being broken by the Song army.
At this time, Wanyan Bingde, who came to ask for help, should have supported Jian Yiyi, who was drinking, but he was selfish at this time, not only did he not help to persuade, but instead pulled up a backlash. Because he understands very well, he will definitely surpass Zhao Er at this time when he hates him, and Changchun Prefecture, which he fled without a fight, is lost, putting him in danger, if he can survive, the first person to kill will be himself.
Wanyan Bingde said that the reason why the conflict between the Song and Jin countries was so great was precisely because the servants were loyal and disregarded the peace between the two countries, entered the grassland without authorization to exterminate the Tatar people, and strayed into the Song realm. Therefore, the purpose of the Song army's battle was to punish the servants of the Right Marshal's Mansion for their loyalty, but it was limited to border conflicts. If the Zuo Marshal's Office sends troops to intervene again, it will no longer be as simple as a 'conflict', but will give the Southern Dynasties a reason to provoke a full-scale war between the two countries, so it must be cautious in sending troops......
