Chapter 355: The Advantage of a Great Power (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
Li Qianshun was not unwilling to be flexible, and remarried Li Cun's daughter to marry his aunt or his aunt to go to the Daqian Dynasty, and let Li Cun be his uncle or his uncle.
But the problem is that because most of the Western Xia emperors were short-lived, and because the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang had been in power for more than 30 years, the Western Xia royal family withered and had very few members.
Let's not talk about it if it's too far away, just start with Li Yuanhao, who established Western Xia.
Li Yuanhao's son can't say less.
Combined, Li Yuanhao also has six sons in his life.
But Li Yuanhao is cruel by nature, he killed his mother, uncle, wife, and son, Li Yuanhao's six sons, he killed two of them himself (one because of the wild Li Queen, who did not look like Yuan Hao, was killed by Yuan Hao soon after birth; The other was killed by Yuan Hao Shenhe. For the rest, one died because he couldn't eat while practicing qigong, one was killed by a counter-plot, and one died young.
In the end, the Jiangshan Sheji of Western Xia could only let Li Liangzuo, who was only one year old at the time, ascend to the throne.
And although Li Liangzuo was as lustful as his father Li Yuanhao, and he didn't even let go of his own sister-in-law, he died at the age of twenty-one, leaving only a son and a daughter.
This son is Li Qianshun's father, Li Bingchang.
The daughter was sent to Tubo by the Empress Dowager Liang decades ago.
Li Bingchang is slightly stronger than Li Liangzuo, and barely lived to be twenty-five years old.
However, Li Bingchang has been set aside by his mother and wife for many years, and the second daughter forced Li Bingchang to work the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and finally left two sons.
The eldest son is Li Qianshun, and the youngest son is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in Western Xia, Brother Li Chage, the king of Jin.
In other words, because there are too few royal personnel in Western Xia, there is no princess in Western Xia at all, not to mention, Li Cun still wants to be the princess of Li Qianshun's father's generation.
is full of calculations, and Li Bingchang's sister, who married to Tubo, meets Li Cun's requirements.
Not to mention that Li Bingchang's sister has died a long time ago, even if she is not dead, she is now in her sixties, marry her to the Daqian Dynasty, I am afraid that Li Cun will immediately be angry and send troops to attack Western Xia.
Some people may say, can't Li Qianshun just recognize one or two aunts and send them to Li Cun? Isn't this the normal operation of Heqin?
If the Western Xia is strong and the Daqian Dynasty is weak, it can be operated in this way.
But the problem is that now the Great Qian Dynasty is strong and the Western Xia is weak.
In this case, if Li Qianshun dared to do this, it would probably backfire, and he would not be able to achieve the purpose that Li Qianshun wanted to delay time through peace and affection, not to mention that it might also advance the time for Li Cun to destroy Western Xia.
It's not good on the royal family's side, what about the relatives? After all, Li Cun is also willing to ask for Li Qianshun's aunt.
Of course, Li Qianshun was willing to do the same.
But the problem is that in order to maintain her own power, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang cooperated with the Western Xia magnates and wiped out the entire Liang clan.
This relative doesn't seem to be able to do it either, right?
Naturally, this kind of thing can't all be worried about by Li Qianshun himself, if those ministers of Western Xia can't even solve this problem, then Western Xia should also perish.
Later, after searching and screening, someone found the two illegitimate daughters of the Empress Dowager Daliang and Liang Yi's younger brother.
These two illegitimate daughters are a pair of twin sisters, looking the same, when the Liang family was destroyed by the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, the Empress Dowager Daliang and Liang Yiburi's younger brother escaped under the escort of heartfelt servants, and then incognito for many years, the twin sisters were born seventeen years ago, the Empress Dowager Daliang and Liang Yiburi's younger brother and a faithful maid.
According to the older generation, these two girls look almost exactly the same as the Empress Dowager Daliang when she was young, that is, they have six or seven similarities with the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and they must be the Liang family.
Li Qianshun and Brother Richard personally saw the two girls.
Whether it is the same as the young Empress Dowager Daliang, I haven't seen Li Qianshun and Brother Richard when the Empress Dowager Daliang was young, but these two girls do look a little similar to their mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang.
Slim and elegant, glamorous, and captivating the country and the city.
In terms of appearance and figure alone, Li Qianshun and Brother Richard both believe that these twin sisters will definitely satisfy Li Cun.
However, the problem is that the younger brother of Empress Dowager Daliang and Liang Yibury passed away seven years ago, and no one can confirm that the twin sisters are the cousins of Li Qianshun and Richard Brother.
Taking a step back, even if it can be confirmed that the twin sisters are the cousins of Li Qianshun and Richard Brother, this identity is a little farther away, and it may not be able to play the role of marriage.
What to do?
Later, Li Renzhong proposed that it would be better to marry Brother Richard's only daughter together.
In Li Qianshun's generation, the people of the Western Xia royal family were not prosperous.
Li Qianshun had a total of three sons, and a few years ago, because of the continuation of Yelu, a Li Renai also died.
And Brother Richard only has one daughter.
In other words, this generation of the Western Xia royal family only has such a precious daughter.
The two brothers, Li Qianshun and Richard Brother, can be said to be a model of good brothers.
Li Qianshun was the emperor and managed all political and civil affairs in Western Xia.
Brother Richard was the generalissimo of the Western Xia, managing all the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia.
Therefore, using Brother Richard's only daughter to make peace is definitely the greatest sincerity of Western Xia.
If he could, Li Qianshun would definitely not be willing to take Brother Richard's only daughter to make peace.
In fact, Li Qianshun's original plan was to marry a woman from the Daqian Dynasty, even if that woman was not Li Cun's daughter, he would gladly let her serve as the empress of Western Xia.
But I didn't think about it, Li Cun hated to marry his daughter and relatives.
The Daqian Dynasty is too powerful now.
The key is that the Western Xia and the Daqian Dynasty are too close to each other.
The key point is that because the Western Xia had been uniting with the Jin State to harass the borders of the Daqian Dynasty before, the Daqian Dynasty had a full reason to destroy the Western Xia.
In this case, if the relationship with the Daqian Dynasty could not be eased, the Western Xia might soon perish.
There is no way, although Li Qianshun and Brother Richard are reluctant to send Brother Richard's only daughter to the Daqian Dynasty and relatives, but in order to keep the Jiangshan Sheji in Western Xia, whether it is Li Qianshun or Brother Richard, in the end, they still suppressed their reluctance and sent Brother Richard's only daughter and the twin daughters of the Empress Dowager Daliang and Liang Yi's younger brother, together with fifty Western Xia beauties, to the Daqian Dynasty......
……
Like the "Twenty-eight Generals of Yuntai" in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the "Twenty-four Heroes of Lingyan Pavilion" in the Tang Dynasty, the historical Jin State also placed the portrait of its own founding heroes in the Shengwu Hall of Yanqing Palace in the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, which was known as the "Yanqing Heroes" in history.
At first, there were only twenty-one heroes of Yanqing, and later Jin Shizong added some more after Yan Yong, so that the number of heroes of Yanqing reached more than 40.
Among the heroes of Yanqing, the greatest credit, that is, the first place on the left, is Wanyan Xianye.
Wanyan Xian is also the younger brother of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta and Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai.
When Wanyan Agu raised an army against Liao, Wanyan Wu Qimai served as the "Zhan Ban Bo Jilie" (crown prince), responsible for assisting Wanyan Agu in handling government affairs and providing logistical support; And Wan Yan Xian also served as "Kulubo Jilie" (deputy prime minister), responsible for commanding the army to fight.
Wanyan Xian also led almost all the famous generals of the Jin State to destroy the Liao State, including: the first general of the Jin State Sect - Wanyan Zonghan, the four major princes of the Jurchens - Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu), the first Jurchen general - Wanyan Lou Room, as well as Wanyan Hulu, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Yinshuke, etc.
Any one of these people is a big man who later fell into power.
After the destruction of Liao, due to the death of Wanyan Aguta, Wanyan Wu begged to buy the throne, and Wanyan Xian also returned to Shangjing, the capital of Jinguo, to become the crown prince "Zhi Ban Bo Jilie".
At that time, the military command of the southern region of the Jin State was actually handed over to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Xian was still the nominal supreme commander of the Jin State.
Later, Wanyan Xian also served as the nominal supreme military commander, and Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang served as the actual commanders to attack the Zhao Song Dynasty on both sides, and when they besieged the capital of the Zhao Song Dynasty for the second time, Tokyo Bianliang City, the city was broken, and the royal family and clan of the Northern Song Dynasty were almost wiped out, Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji were captured, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished.
After that, the Southern Song Dynasty was established under the formation of Zhao Gou, and the Song and Jin went to war again.
Wanyan Xian also ordered the Jin army to go south several times in the name of the commander, forcing the Southern Song Dynasty to the edge of the cliff, and Zhao Gou once hid at sea to avoid the pursuit of Jin Wushu, and finally with the concerted efforts of the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians, Jin Wushu was finally driven out of Jiangnan.
Next, Wanyan Xian also ordered Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Chang to launch a fierce attack on the Sichuan-Shaanxi and Jianghuai fronts in the Southern Song Dynasty.
At the most critical moment of the Jin Kingdom's destruction of the Song Dynasty, Wan Yan Xian also died.
Historically, Wan Yan Xianye's death had a very huge impact on the Jin Kingdom, because it was his death that led to the dispute between the crown princes that caused discord in the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongfu, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Chang and other generals temporarily put aside the war in the southern Song Dynasty for the sake of the battle for the crown prince.
The Southern Song Dynasty also won a rare respite in recent years, and the lord and faction of the Jin State once raised their heads, and returned the land of Henan to the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end, the lord and faction of the Jin State were defeated by the main battle faction of the Jin State.
The root of all this lies in the large-scale infighting in the Jin Kingdom after the death of Wan Yan Xianye.
In this life, due to Li Cun's birth, he destroyed Liao, seized the Yanyun region of the Great Liao Empire, and blocked the Jin people from the Great Wall.
But in the same way, Wanyan Zongwang was slashed by Li Cunqian, and Wanyan Zonghan was also defeated several times in the process of fighting with the Daqian Dynasty.
Comparatively speaking, Wan Yan Xianye, who has never been at war with the Daqian Dynasty head-on, still maintains the myth of his undefeated.
Because of this, it has been rumored that if Wan Yan Xian had also led the army to fight with the Daqian Dynasty, the Jin State might not have been defeated.
In this way, Wan Yan Xian is still the most ideal and most convincing crown prince of the Jin Kingdom.
If Wanyan is unharmed, the regime of Jin Guo is undoubtedly very stable.
But since the beginning of winter, Wanyan Xianye's body has suddenly lost weight rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It didn't take long for Wan Yan Xian to fall ill.
Moreover, Wan Yan Xian is still sick, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
This is sad, and Wu begged to buy it.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the inheritance of the Jurchen tribal chiefs was brother to brother, resulting in the fact that everyone who had been a chieftain had a very strong political power in their descendants.
In addition to the Wanyan Aguda lineage, there are also many powerful families such as Wanyan Aguta's cousins and cousins, such as Wanyan Zonghan's father, the early clan of the Jin Kingdom, and the Wanyan Sakai branch of the state minister, which is extremely powerful.
Therefore, Wanyan Aguta is more like the CEO of these powerful families, and does not have absolute authority and supreme power like the Emperor of the Central Plains.
At that time, when there was something going on in the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguta wanted to gather the leaders of the major families and major political forces, and everyone discussed.
Of course, because Wanyan Aguta is a hero of the Jurchens, and he himself is both civil and military, and his wisdom is outstanding, what he says, most of the leaders of other major families and major political forces will listen.
But even so, Wanyan Aguda can't make his own decision on everything without discussion.
At that time, the Jin State was actually in the process of transition from a primitive military democracy to a state and imperial autocracy.
When Wanyan Aguda was in power, he had high prestige, he played a good balance technique, he was extremely charismatic and leader, and he was a military genius, so everyone was convinced, what he said, everyone listened to it, and everyone fought wherever he pointed.
In other words, at that time, the big families and political forces were very obedient to the rule of Wanyan Aguta.
But when Wanyan Agu was beaten to death, and Wanyan Wu begged to succeed to the throne, things changed.
Wanyan Wu begs to engage in internal affairs, logistics, and settle his hometown, and he is a good hand.
But the problem is that Wanyan Wu Qimai has never been on the battlefield, and then has no military merits.
This will inevitably make the Jurchens who advocate force, especially those major families and political forces, not take Wanyan Wu Qimai seriously.
Back then, Wanyan Zonghan, who inherited the political power of Wanyan Sagai, beat Yan Wu begging to buy his ass, which was a warning to Wanyan Wu begging.
Since then, the tradition of having to be discussed has been strengthened.
In the eyes of the family and political forces outside the Wanyan Aguda system, Wanyan Wu Qimai was just the leader of the Wanyan Aguda system, and they did not obey Wanyan Wu Qimai's control.
Therefore, the imperial power of Wanyan Wu begging is sluggish.
Or take Wanyan Zonghan as an example.
If Yan Zonghan wants to start a war with the Daqian Dynasty, he will start a war with the Daqian Dynasty, if he is in a good mood and remembers it, he will notify Wanyan Wu to beg to buy, and if he can't think of it, he will not finish Yan Wu begging to buy.
Moreover, in the areas and grasslands controlled by Wanyan Zonghan, the people only know that there is Wanyan Zonghan, but they don't know that there is Wanyan Wu begging to buy.
The imperial power is falling!
This is something that no emperor can tolerate.
Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai has been planning to weaken the major families and political forces of the Jin State represented by Wanyan Zonghan.
In order to achieve this goal, Wanyan Wu Qimai began to reform, that is, to learn to buy the ruling system of the Central Plains.
In other words, under the leadership of Wanyan Wu Qimai, the Jin people have begun to embark on the road of sinicization.
Establish schools and set up imperial examinations.
Determine the name of the official, award the knighthood, and determine the color of the uniform.
An astronomical calendar was established, punishments were established, and a ceremonial system was established.
After this series of operations, the imperial power of Wanyan Wu begging has been strengthened to a certain extent, and several major families and political forces represented by Wanyan Zonghan have begun to be weakened.
At present, Wanyan Wu Qimai is planning to take back the power to use troops abroad from the hands of several major families and political forces represented by Wanyan Zonghan.
But at this critical moment, Wanyan Xian, who vigorously supported Wanyan Wu's begging reform, also saw that he was about to die.
Without the support of Wanyan Xianye, Wanyan Wu Qimai would not be able to deter Wanyan Zonghan and their arrogant generals, and Wanyan Wu Qimai's reform would probably be wasted.
Also, this crown prince is also a big deal.
You must know that not only Wanyan Aguda left a large number of sons, but Wanyan Wu Qimai also has many sons.
Wan Yan Xian is also going to die, and these people will definitely have to fight among themselves for the position of the crown prince.
At this critical time, the Daqian Dynasty destroyed the Western Song Dynasty, and it was immediately free to start a war.
Internal and external troubles!
In this case, not to mention that the Daqian Dynasty just agreed to negotiate peace without giving the New Year's coin, that is, the Daqian Dynasty and the Jin State asked for the New Year's coin before agreeing to negotiate peace, and Wanyan Wu would agree to buy it.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Wanyan Wu begged to prepare a hundred beauties for Li Cun, ten boxes of wild ginseng, ten boxes of deer antler velvet and many special products of the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo to send to the Daqian Dynasty for peace......
