Chapter 331: Danger

In this way, there were two groups in the Jin Dynasty at this moment, led by the Taishi of the Jin State, the Marshal of the Soldiers and Horses, and the right prime minister of the Jin State, Han Qixian. If we analyze it according to its military strength, it is obvious that the 'Song Party' with the support of Wushu will have an absolute advantage, but the prestige and qualifications of Prime Minister Han Lao are there, and if Wushu cannot grasp any handle, he will not dare to offend him easily, and the struggle between the two parties is basically evenly divided, and each has its own victory.

Wushu didn't dare to move Han Fang easily The main reason for his qualifications and prestige was too high, the former patriarch of the Three Dynasties had been specially taken care of by Ah Guta and Wu Qimai, just by virtue of this relationship, several bigwigs in the Jin Kingdom did not dare to easily move this generation of virtuous ministers. On the other hand, Han Fang does have something extraordinary, this prime minister Shi Bo is familiar with the past and the present, knows how to make good use of people, and the officials at all levels recommended by him can basically do their duty, and there are few unqualified officials, even Zonggan, Sticky Han, Wushu and other Jin bigwigs are full of praise for Han Qixian's ability, and now he has naturally become the leader of the Han officials in Jinguo.

The strength of the two parties tends to be balanced, and it is difficult to distinguish between them and the inferior for a while. However, this situation of equilibrium of power was soon broken, because Han Fang, the backer of the 'Liao Party', finally fell ill. Han Fang's report of critical illness was of course a great joy for Wushu, and in order to show his "concern" for the old prime minister's health, Wushu even went out to visit Han Fang in person. Of course, the purpose of Wushu's visit was not to care about Han Fang's physical condition, but to find out about Han Fang's plan for the aftermath of the arrangement, that is, the issue of the successor of Shang Shu's right prime minister.

However, Han Fang did not give Wushu any face even if he was dying, and he strongly recommended his protégé Tian Jue to serve as the right prime minister. This can make the vulture angry, I thought that Han Fang would give face. recommended members of his group to serve as the right prime minister, so he poured his anger on Tian Jue. scolded Tian Jue angrily in public, 'This generation can be killed'. And what is even more coincidental is that Tian Jue happened to be visiting the teacher at that time, and when Wushu entered the house. Tian Jue hid in the mansion by the way and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two bigwigs, and when he heard Wushu angrily scolding Tian Jue for killing, he almost fainted, and naturally he would not follow Wushu to run, but hugged Han Fang's thigh even more.

To say that Han Fang's illness is also very strange, it was not long after the emperor named him king, he held a feast in the mansion, and as a result, he was happy and sad and sick, and his symptoms were fever, thirst, irritability, poor urination, and diarrhea. His family sought medical treatment for the cause. Even Wan Yan Yan personally sent the imperial doctor to treat Han Qi first, but all the efforts had no effect, and Han Fang's condition continued unabated. In order to save the life of the old prime minister, he had no choice but to use the last trick of seeking medical treatment.

Han Fang is an important minister of the state, and his condition is strange, and no one dares to come to unveil the list for a while. However, there are also people who are not afraid of death, and two days after Wushu went to Hanfu to visit the patient, someone really took over the emperor's list. This is really good for the 'miracle doctor' technique, and a few medicines will go down. The old man's condition began to remission. A few days later, Han Fang's symptoms were greatly reduced, and he was able to get out of bed and walk, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The old man's life was saved, and everyone's position was preserved. But just when everyone thought that Han Fang would soon return to work, his condition suddenly deteriorated. And the 'miracle doctor' who had been diagnosing him also disappeared mysteriously, and a group of people watched helplessly as Han Fang swallowed his breath......

With the generation of virtuous ministers of the Jin Kingdom, Han Fang died violently. The balance of power between the Song and Liao parties was immediately broken. Without waiting for the Liao Party to find out the truth about Han Fang's death, the storm of Dajin officialdom has come. Tian Jue, the first candidate for the right minister, not only failed to become a regular. And he was soon demoted to the envoy of the Henghai Navy, and the rest of the Shangshu Provincial officials under Tian Jue were all demoted, and for a time more than half of the officials in the entire Shangshu Province were cleared, and the Jin Dynasty Shangshu Province was empty, and the political hub of the entire country was in danger of being paralyzed.

However, how can there be no one in the Dajin Dynasty with Taishi Wushu, since the Liao Party has fallen, let your Song Party come to power. As a result, Cai Songnian served as Wailang of the Zuo Division, and Cao Wangzhi served as Wailang of the Ministry of Officials, and all members of the Cai Party reoccupied important positions in Shangshu Province. But Wushu seems to have forgotten this most important position, that is, the position of the right prime minister of Shangshu in front of Han Fang, it stands to reason that the Song Party has made great contributions in the struggle of the Qing Xian Liao Party, so how can I let the figures in the Song Party take up the position of the right prime minister.

To the surprise of all the members of the Cai Party clique, Comrade Wushu actually found an outsider to take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Department of Shangshu Province, this benevolent brother is named Zhang Hao, a native of Liaoyang Bohai. This person is not shallow than Han Fang's qualifications, as early as when Aguda pacified the Liao Kingdom of Tokyo, Zhang Hao began to serve as Aguta's Chengying Imperial Text, that is, his private secretary. In the following twenty years, Zhang Hao seemed to have become obscure, and did not appear in the sight of the Jin Emperor at all, thus escaping the political purges of the Jin State one after another, and survived.

The situation was not until Wanyan Xiyin was out of the game under the blow of Wushu, and Zhang Hao entered Shangshu Province again, and successively served as a waiter in the household, work, and ritual departments. Although Wushu trusted the members of the Song Party led by Cai Songnian, he himself knew very well that with the qualifications and abilities of Cai Songnian and others, it was difficult to hold the important position of the right prime minister, and in addition, it was also to make a fig leaf for his behavior to cover people's eyes, so he could only temporarily move Zhang Hao, the veteran of the Three Dynasties, out to stabilize the situation. Comrade Zhang Hao also lived up to his expectations and completed his mission well, and the national hub of Jinguo Shangshu Province was operating normally again......

In just a few months, Wushu leveled the queen, killed Han Fang, and eliminated the Liao party among the Han officials by thunderous means, and the Jurchens regained the upper hand, and it was said that the world should be peaceful. But in fact, it was just a wave of peace, and the Han Party officials in the Jin State jumped out to confront the Jurchen Party officials led by Wushu. This person is Yu Wenxuzhong, who belongs to his cronies, which of course makes Wushu very annoyed and feels very tricky!

Yuwen Xuzhong came to the Jin Kingdom as a trophy of the Jurchens, and after a short time as a prisoner, he caught up with Wu Qimai to learn Han etiquette. Since the Jin State had just been established, many Jurchen officials would not chant poetry at all, and several so-called poets and writers in the Jin literary circle were Han vassals from the former Liao State and the Song Dynasty, among which Yuwen Xuzhong was more famous.

Under the recommendation of Han Fang, Zong Han and others, Yu Wenxuzhong's status also rose, and he slowly entered the senior leadership of the Jin State and participated in national politics. After Yan Yan succeeded to the throne, Yuwen Xuzhong's fate was changed again. The young son of heaven Wan Yan Kang admired Han culture very much, especially the Han literati of the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, and began to promote a large number of Han officials, and Yu Wen Xuzhong was a rare talent in the Jin State literary circle at that time, his literary skills were quite profound, and it was basically a difficult opponent in the Jin State literary circles dominated by Jurchen officials at that time, so that Wan Yan Kang, who had always cherished talents, had to promote Yu Wen Xuzhong.

Yuwen Xuzhong's political status and power in the Jin State finally reached an unattainable height, and he personally became one of Wanyan Yan's favorite ministers, and even the Jin State at that time once called Yuwen Xuzhong "National Teacher". Even after the peace talks between Jin Guo and Song began, Wan Yan Yan specially told Wushu to find a way to get Yu Wenxuzhong's family members in Song to come over to help him solve his personal family problems.

The status and honor came so easily that Yuwen Xuzhong, who was originally a prisoner of the Jin Kingdom, began to be overwhelmed by the victory and flowers, and he thought that his literary talent was outstanding among his peers in the Jin Kingdom, so he began to be proud and complacent, and he despised the Jurchen officials who completely lacked literary cells, and after Han Fang's death, he seemed to regard himself as the leader of the Han Dynasty.

Yuwen Xuzhong's lofty style will inevitably cause the displeasure of most of the Jurchen nobles and officials, and their resentment towards him is also increasing day by day, and they are always looking for a good opportunity to deal with Yuwen Xuzhong, which of course also includes Wushu. But Yuwen Xuzhong is no more than a nobody, he can kill if he wants to, his backer is the current Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, who is good enough, but he also knows that Lu Dao can't directly kill the emperor's cronies.

If it was in the past, Wushu might have waited for the right time to start, but now he has no patience, he needs a team that is completely under his command, not a troublemaker who elbows his elbows everywhere, even if he is the emperor's favorite, so that the Jin State can take advantage of the brief opportunity to achieve peace with the Great Song Dynasty and struggle out of the whirlpool of decline as soon as possible, otherwise it will be swallowed up by the Great Song one day......

…………

Wushu is on fire for Yuwen Xu, and Zhao Ta is not. He knows how difficult it is to train a successful spy, which is not much easier than cultivating a champion, and the people who die on this road are not general, and the price paid is often incalculable. And a spy like Yuwen Xuzhong who has successfully penetrated into the enemy's country and successfully entered the decision-making level, can access the core secrets, and influence the direction of a country's policy is even more rare, and can play a role in turning things around at critical moments, and its value cannot be measured by money, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure.

Today, Zhao Ta saw at a glance from the intelligence sent back by Jin Guo that what Yuwen Xuzhong was doing now had violated the most basic code of conduct of a spy - low-key. The spy itself is a profession that walks on the tip of a knife, and he must always be vigilant about his surroundings and hide his secrets from outsiders. But now that he is openly hostile to the Vultures, it will inevitably attract his special attention, which is tantamount to exposing his invisible side to the sun...... (To be continued......)
