Chapter 149: Wu Begging
The lords of the Jurchen tribes were called "Bo Ji Lie", and the council composed of Zhu Bo Ji Lie was the highest authority. This is almost the same as the Yili system in the early years of the Khitan, but the Bo Ji Lie system absorbed more Han government ideas, and all the Bo Ji Lie are not completely equal, but have an order and division of labor, which is somewhat similar to the current democratic centralism, and can also be said to be a primitive parliamentary system.
The boss of the tribal alliance is called Du Bo Jilie, which translates to the meaning of the emperor, which is easy to understand; The second child is known as the best of the class, which is equivalent to being the prince of the prince, or the prison of the country, which is equivalent to the vice president; The third elder called the national theory extremely strong, and later called the national theory Hulu extremely fierce, and his responsibilities were similar to those of the Han people. Later, there were also names such as Amai Bo Jilie, Zhan Bo Jilie, and Shift Bo Jilie, but the title of 'national theory' must be added to have the power to discuss state affairs in the Bo Jilie Parliament, which is equivalent to the ruling of the Great Song Dynasty, and they formed a standing committee to make decisions on major national affairs.
The rest of Zhu Bo Jilie were just ordinary tribal lords, who could not enter the highest level of power, but as the executors of policies and local rulers, equivalent to local officials, which obviously learned the idea of the construction of the Han administrative system. Of course, the decision-making methods seem to be similar, but the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were appointed by selecting the emperor through the imperial examination, while Bo Jilie was elected by the Jurchen tribal lords, which is fundamentally different.
But the biggest flaw of tribal lordship is the separation of sovereignty, which is easy to divide, which often requires a strong ruler to maintain. The Wanyan Department changed the tradition of the Jurchen family division and formed a strong family, thus ensuring that the inheritance of power could become strong.
Now that the Kingdom of Jin has just been established, it relies on a strong wrist to fight with a bone. The core aristocracy was also united, although they often quarreled fiercely in the Fierce Council. But as long as the final decision of the council is made, everyone will faithfully implement it. It can be expanded with the expansion of the ruling territory. The rise of the new generation has challenged the current inheritance system of the Wanyan Division. When their older generation gradually dies out, there will be many successors with the right to inherit, and the Wanyan family will inevitably split...
Although Zhao Ta collected the information that Yan Wu begged to buy in every possible way, plus what he knew in his previous life, he only knew very little about him. According to the records of the historical books, Wu Qimai is burly and powerful, and what is even more strange is that Wu Qimai's appearance is very similar to Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Kingdom, so there are rumors that Wu Qimai may be the reincarnation of Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Guangyi's 'killing his brother and seizing the throne' are attached together. It is believed that Jin's destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty was to take revenge on the descendants of Taizong's lineage.
Zhao Ta didn't believe these absurd words, and the information at hand could also prove that Wu Qimai was definitely a big man with great wisdom. When the Jurchen anti-Liao had not yet broken out, the fierce Ah Gu Da offended Yelu Yanxi, the number one boss of the Liao State, at the "Head Fish Banquet".
Wu Qimai was strong and able to catch tigers and stabbing bears with his bare hands, so he took advantage of the opportunity to hunt after the banquet and personally performed a stunt of catching fierce beasts with his bare hands for Yelu Yanxi. and repeatedly expressed the upright courage and loyalty of the Jurchen Wanyan people to Emperor Liao, and used actions to resolve the murderous opportunity caused by Yelu Yanxi's disobedience to Aguta's disobedience. Through this alternative way, he helped his brother resolve the crisis and made Akuda escape. It also made Aguda begin to look at his younger brother with admiration and attracted his attention.
Therefore, after Ah Guda became the emperor, he put the country on the extremely strong system. With Wu Qimai as the best teacher, this is not only the chief minister, but also the heir. In fact, he is the main assistant and heir of Aguta. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Ah Gu beat the Liao Dynasty, that is, Wu begged to live in the capital. Acting as the general government, as the second deputy. Every time Ah Gu fights to conquer the Liao State. Wu Qimai was always appointed as the left-behind guard of the base camp and was responsible for the political affairs of the rear of the Jin State. All military and judicial cases are handled by Wu Qimai, and Wu Qimai does not live up to the weight of the board of directors entrusted by him, he is wise and virtuous, uses both civil and military forces, and makes great efforts to govern the country, so that Ah Gu has no worries when he conquers Liao.
In the face of a strongman like Wu Qimai, it is a good way to prevent him from ascending to the throne, so when Zhao Ta and Wan Yan Xian were also together, when they had the opportunity, they would tell him some examples of cannibalism in history in order to compete for the throne, deliberately exaggerating all kinds of disadvantages to Wu Qimai after he ascended the throne, and even killed him as the next heir to the throne for the sake of power.
Wan Yan Xian was also instilled by him, and he was already vigilant. In fact, he and Wu Qimai have a very good relationship, and after Wu Qimai ascended the throne in history, he still let him take over the military power and set up him as the prince, but his life was short and he did not have that blessing.
Zhao Ta's words convinced him, but also because of his identity, not because he was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, but mainly because Zhao Ta was a complete outsider in this matter, there was no conflict of interest with him, and there was no need to get involved in their family's affairs, so much spit was completely for his own sake! Wan Yan Xian didn't know that the reason why Zhao Tan cared about their family's affairs was entirely because he was a demon who had known for 800 years, and he didn't want to go to their hometown to live!
Wan Yan Xian was also obedient, and when he met Ah Guda after he went back, he called himself guilty and took full responsibility for the failure of the expedition to Xijing. And later the development of things did not exceed Zhao Ta's expectations, of course, his spirit of courage to carry the black pot not only won the trust of Aguta, but also was recognized by everyone. Under the plea of everyone, Ah Guta only temporarily disqualified him from participating in state affairs, but did not remove his title and remove his office. After withdrawing the troops, Zong Han was left to continue to seek Xijing, and Yu Han did not keep the Yanjing area and returned with him.
Although things are running according to the trajectory arranged by Zhao Ta, he believes that the most effective and safest way to physically eliminate Wu Qimai is the most effective and safest way. But the operation he had planned for several months did not go well, first of all, they knew very little about Wu Qimai. The members of the Intelligence Department had been active in Shangjing for several months, and because he lived in seclusion, and because their capital was built on the old land of Wanyanbu, it was very difficult to gather relevant information, and they obtained only sporadic materials, and there was not much to use.
Although there were many difficulties, Zhao Ta did not want to give up easily, and the action team for the assassination of Wu Qimai had been trained for a period of time, and several sets of action plans had been formulated according to the different situations encountered, and targeted drills were carried out, and they could be put into action only after Zhao Ta gave an order. It's June now, and it's not far from the day of the return of the bones in history, so it's the last moment of action... (To be continued.) )
