After the death of Zong Han, the power of the Jin State was reshuffled as Zhao Tan thought, but now it is no longer a struggle between the two factions of the Akuda and non-Aguda factions, but certain changes have taken place, which can be roughly divided into reformers who support sinicization and conservatives who oppose Sinicization, and not long ago they were all reorganization factions who supported the reform of Emperor Wanyan.

The leading figure of the conservative faction is none other than the Taishi Zongxuan, who has made great contributions to the eradication of Zong Han's power, and the reason why he hates reform is not for nothing, the root is still in the emperor's throne that makes thousands of people bow down. He believed that it was because the reformers led by Zong Han forced his father to give up the position of Ban Bo Ji to a teenager on the issue of canonizing the Ban Bo Ji Lie. Although Wu Qimai voluntarily abdicated the throne on the surface, fools can see that if it were not for the repeated pressure of the "reformers", he would most likely leave the position of successor to Zong Pan. What made Zong Xuan even more angry was that after Wan Yan succeeded to the throne, he actually abolished the Bo Ji Lie system that had existed in the Jin State for more than 20 years, which made Zong Pan's chance of becoming emperor almost zero.

Zong Xuan realized that there was only one way to become an emperor, but rebellion was a high-risk and low-reward choice, and no one in the Dajin Kingdom had succeeded since the founding of the country, and under the incomparable temptation of the golden throne, he still decided to embark on this difficult and extremely dangerous road. However, Zong Xuan was different from Wan Yan Kang, he rarely participated in military operations in the Jin Kingdom and always assisted his father in handling internal affairs, but because of impulsiveness, he wanted to make some political capital in the Great Song Dynasty and became a prisoner. These experiences have taught him that he must not be reckless.

Therefore, after returning to China, Zong Xuan was extremely patient, very deferential to the emperor, and worked hard and resolutely supported his restructuring work. In addition to appeasing the opponents in the clan and taking over the difficult task of getting rid of Zong Han, he gained the trust of Wan Yan Kang. However, Zong Xuan knew that if he wanted to succeed in ascending to the throne, he would not be able to achieve his goal by relying only on his own strength. In addition to overthrowing the reformers in order to cut their wings, they must also have their own team to assist. Then it is necessary to recruit troops and buy horses and attract more powerful people.

The first to enter the sight of Zong Xuan is the Linhuang Mansion of the town of Mo Nan to complete Yan Saili, he is a royal family member, Xi Bu's grandson, the young army to destroy the Liao and Song Dynasty, and was made by the Song people as the 'King of the Sky'. However, he was defeated by Zhao Tan and seriously wounded in the two wars against the Song Dynasty, which made him disheartened and thought that he could not capture the Central Plains by force. Destroy the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he advocated peace talks with the Song Dynasty, and did not participate in the Third Song War, but was transferred to Mo Nan Town to guard Linhuang Mansion.

Wanyan Saili, who was hit hard twice, was scared out of neurology at this time without thinking about Yan Pu's slave, but he was also stimulated, and Wanyan Saili, who had just used good fighting, seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, and suddenly lost his original interest in leading troops to fight, and was very tired of war, but held high the banner of peace talks, and repeatedly proposed peace negotiations with Song. It turned out to be just wishful thinking. He only wanted to get more money to enjoy the Qing Dynasty, so he did his best to loot the Tatar tribes under his rule, especially when he encircled and suppressed the Mughal tribes, he wantonly plundered property, cattle and sheep, and accumulated a lot of wealth.

But after the failure of the third invasion of the Song Dynasty by the Jin Kingdom. Nanjing, Yanjing and Dading were lost in succession, and the Monan area, which was originally a large rear, became the front line, which made it even more panicked. He also holds a grudge against the 'reformers' for not listening to their own proposals for peace talks, which has ruined their good deeds, since they all have a common enemy. Then, of course, they could form an alliance and soon join his conservatives under the wooing of Zong Xuan.

Thereupon. Zong Pan and Sai Li finally came to the same boat out of their own interests, and their political positions were mainly to hope to retain the old system of the Jin State and oppose Wan Yan Yan's Sinicization reform. And after Zong Xuan won over Sairi, he felt that there was still a gap between the strength of his group and the reformers, so he found another target and hit Wanyan Zongjun with his idea.

Wanyan Zongjun's identity is even more noble, he is the biological son of Aguta, his biological mother is Empress Qinxian Shilie, and Zong Yan Han's inseparable half-brother. He remained unknown among his brothers, and the only time he participated in military operations was at the age of fourteen in the assault on Bianjing, but he was more of a spectator and learner. When the north was also in charge of escorting the Emperor Taishang of the Song Dynasty and a group of princes, if he hadn't sent him to Zhending Mansion in advance that day, he almost lost his life in Zhaozhou City, and then experienced the defeat of Wuma Mountain, he escaped from the siege by luck, and then almost disappeared from the public eye.

When the older generation passed away one after another, and the brothers died one by one, Wanyan Zongjun appeared in everyone's sight again, in fact, he was not a person who was willing to be lonely, and he also wanted to do something to improve his status. And the main reason why he was willing to join the conservatives was that the failed study trip left a shadow on Wanyan Zongjun's young mind, making him afraid of war and becoming a pacifist, and he has always called for reconciliation with the Great Song Dynasty to avoid war.

The fact that three people with a common experience came together for a common goal greatly strengthened and prestige the conservatives began, and their brutal struggle against the reformers began. First of all, they took advantage of the emperor's eagerness to take power and the sense of crisis to prevent the old ministers from seizing power, and got rid of Zong Han, an important reformist figure who had been in the main battle, and Wanyan Zongjun replaced the killed Gao Qingyi as Shangshu Zuocheng, which greatly increased their speech power in the court and became a force that could influence the government and politics......

Zong Han's death,The strength of the reformers has become very weak,The sinicization movement has also come to a standstill under the intervention of Zong Xuan.,Things have come to this point completely beyond Wan Yan's expectations.,It's just the front door to drive the tiger.,The back door into the wolf.。 Immediately after Wanyan Saili was appointed as the commander of the left capital at the suggestion of Zong Xuan, the conservatives occupied a certain dominant position in the court and in the army, and their strength was further strengthened, and they began to further weaken the power of the reformers.

Now that only Zong Pan and Zong Gan are left among the members of the three divisions, the strength of the two factions has reached a balance, and Zong Xuan has also begun to implement his own plan to seize power. He knew very well that the enemy he was facing was still very strong, and it was difficult to kill him with one blow with his own strength, and the old enemy Great Song, who had been eyeing him, would definitely take advantage of the civil strife in Jin to launch an attack, so that even if he became the emperor, he would become a king of the country.

So Zong Xuan came up with a 'brilliant' idea - to use his strength to fight. That is to use the power of the Great Song Dynasty to fight the reformers and rely on their support to fulfill their wishes. Of course, it is not a brilliant plan, it is simply selling the interests of the gold country in exchange for personal interests, to a certain extent, this practice is tantamount to betraying one's own country, selling one's own nation, and it can also be seen how great the temptation of power is!

However, the implementation of Zongxuan's plan could not be achieved overnight, and he also faced a major obstacle, that is, the two countries were still at war, and the former emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was still detained in the Jin State, so it was impossible for them to send troops to help him. In order to realize this plan, it is first necessary to achieve peace between the two countries, so Zong Xuan and two peace lovers proposed a bold plan to the emperor, that is, to cede Dading and Linhuang Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty and send them back to Zhao Huan, so that the two sides can achieve real reconciliation.

Wan Yan was a little stupid in the face of this proposal, it is understandable that he did not expand his territory for less than two years after he succeeded to the throne, but he couldn't say anything about ceding land and seeking peace, and he was helpless in the face of the conservatives' forced palace, and finally paid the price for his lack of political experience and wanton behavior. He promoted Zong Pan to the position of Taishi, and was jointly responsible for the affairs of the three provinces with Zong Han and Zong Gan, the purpose of which was to disperse Zong Han's power, and second, he hoped to win over Zong Pan for his own use. Wan Yan Kang has now become a confused Mr. Dongguo, his kindness did not impress Zong Pan's bad intentions, at this moment Zong Pan did not appreciate Wan Yan Kang at all, on the contrary, he thought that as the eldest son of the emperor, he should naturally hold the position of Taishi.

Of course, this proposal met with strong opposition from the "reformers" headed by Jonggan, but after losing the support of Jonghan, Jonggan was no longer able to hold an equal dialogue with the "conservative" forces in the DPRK and China. Wan Yan Yan is not a fool, he first urgently appointed his imperial uncle Wushu as the right deputy marshal, King Shen, and shared military power with Wan Yan Saili. He understood that if the military power was fully controlled by the conservatives, he would face a very dangerous situation, and it was important to protect himself.

At this time, it was not that no one dared to fight, and the first one to stand up was Wanyan Zongxian, who strongly opposed the suggestions of the conservatives. The reason for the opposition was that Jin Guo had captured Zhao Er's parents and siblings alive, and this kind of hatred could not be resolved, even if the land was ceded to Song, it would only boost Zhao Er's momentum, and would not help to resolve the grievances between the two countries, so the land could not be given to Song.

The other person is Wan Yan Xuan, he is the son of Brother Ying, and like Zong Xian, he has loved reading since he was a child, so the people of the Jin Kingdom respectfully call him Xiucai, known as the second Jurchen literary genius other than Zong Xian. He has always been engaged in civilian work, and rarely participated in military wars between the Jin State and the Liao, Song and other countries. But he served as an assistant in the process of Wanyan Xiyin's creation of Jurchen characters, and if Xiyin was the commander-in-chief of character creation, then Wanyan Miao was the person in charge of the project of character making. Although he is a literati, he has a strong temperament, speaks outright, and dares to express his opinions when he sees injustices, instead of acting as a good gentleman, he fiercely denounces the traitorous behavior of Zong Xuan and others.

Although two Jurchen writers came forward to strongly oppose the suggestions of Zong Xuan and others, in the final analysis, they were both middle- and lower-level civil servants in the court, and they had neither real power nor military power, so they could not decide any major matters. But it made Wan Yan more determined to reform, these people who are proficient in Chinese and Confucianism are different from those old and coarse, and they can really go up at the critical moment, and at the same time let him think of a wonderful plan......
