Chapter 121 The world is impermanent
But after saying that, Yan Xiaoyu was originally a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom was an enemy of the Song Dynasty, how could she marry the first floor of the first family in Xiangyang?
This matter is a long story, it turns out that her father Wan Yanjin was ostracized in the court, and every dynasty has been loyal and traitorous since ancient times.
Wan Yanjin belongs to a relatively upright type of person, and he is very unaccustomed to the actions of some ministers in the DPRK and China, so friction often occurs.
But people who are too loyal and upright, no matter where they are, are not popular, and even Jin Shizong, who is known as Xiao Yao Shun, began to listen to advice in his later years.
But he had a good relationship with Yan Yongji in front of the palace, and he was not harmed by traitors under his protection, so he was disheartened and gave up his official business under the advice of Wanyan Yongji.
The so-called abandonment of officials and businessmen means selling cattle and horses to the Central Plains at the border in exchange for grain, salt, cloth and other daily necessities that are in short supply in the north.
Only cattle and horses can be sold in the Jin country, although the military horses are strictly controlled, but without food, many people will starve to death, and they have no choice.
There is also the ginseng of Changbai Mountain, because Changbai Mountain is the holy mountain of the Jin Kingdom, and its status is similar to Mount Tai in the Central Plains.
But Wan Yanjin actually has an important mission, which is to buy and sell the border officials of the Song Dynasty and spy on intelligence from them.
Therefore, he spared no expense to send the border officials the best white snow ginseng, Korean ginseng, and extremely rare snow tigers, snow leopards, ferrets, snow foxes, snow bears and other furs to the officials without blinking.
He was so good with officials that some officials even contacted Qin Hui, the king of Wu, one of the Eight Pillars of the Kingdom, for him.
Qin Huigui is a scholar and the prime minister of the dynasty, and he can go through his path, which shows how wild Yan Jin's path is.
Therefore, folklore has it that he was the one who persecuted Yue Fei, because he played the role of threading the needle and introducing the important ministers of the Jin State to Qin Hui.
And Qin Hui's history is not glorious, it is said that he was also the former prince Zhao Bo's attendant, the prince was captured, he also went to the Jin State as a prisoner for five years, and was later ransomed by the old emperor.
For some reason, he hooked up with Zhao Xian, and after Zhao Xian took the throne, he obeyed him, and also supported him to become the prime minister, and dismissed Li Gang, who was the main opponent of Jin, and made the old man angry to death.
But in order to balance the situation, Zhao Xian also married Prime Minister Qin's distant cousin Xu to Li Kaifu, the Duke of Qin.
Li Kaifu was so busy all day that his feet did not touch the ground, and all the housework was handled by his wife Qin.
Now that Qin Hui has fallen, his henchmen are all in panic.
