Chapter 53 Peace is not easy to come by, don't let the living creatures be destroyed

I had already guessed eight or nine times, but the matter came too abruptly and I didn't come back to my senses, and then I heard this woman say this, and I hurriedly called "Auntie", but my voice was choked.

Seeing the peculiar scene at this time, Xin Zan was puzzled by the boss in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you here alone?" What about gold? Are your second uncle, second aunt, brother, and sister-in-law all right? ”

When the woman heard the inquiry, she immediately raised her head, and her face was much calmer at this time, "The second uncle, the second aunt, the brother and sister-in-law, and Cheng Jin are all very good, the reason why I am here at this time is that it is a long story, and let my daughter report to her father in detail." ”

This woman is Xin Zan's daughter Xin Cui'e, her aunt who abandoned her illness, she married Li Chengjin as his wife, and she is Cheng Yin's sister-in-law, and the three people present are all close relatives. See the clumsy work "The Legend of Xin Qi"

Guan Sheng was killed by Liu Yu in Jinan Mansion that year, and his disciples Xin Wenyu and Li Chengjin were determined to take revenge. Liu Yuzi Yanyou, a native of Fucheng (present) in the Yongjing Army. A puppet emperor supported by the Jin Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty and Yuan Fu, Zhongjin Shi and the first. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he served as the criminal officer of Hebei West Road. When Jin Bing went south, he abandoned his post and fled. In the second year of Jianyan, he worshiped the prefect of Jinan, saw the chaos in the north, and planned to flee to Jiangnan as an official, but was rejected by the consul. When the Jin army besieged the city, he killed the big sword warrior Guan Sheng and surrendered. In the fourth year of Jianyan, he was pseudo-named "Emperor of Great Qi", built the name of the capital, and the book had words such as "Shixiu Zili", and used the Jin Dynasty's "Tianhui" year name, and honored the Jin Dynasty's orders to change the Yuan Fuchang. In the second year of Shaoxing, the capital was moved to Bianjing, and the eldest son Liu Lin, nephew Liu Yi and the rebel generals of the Song Dynasty Li Cheng and Kong Yanzhou were sent to cooperate with the Jin army to invade the Southern Song Dynasty and capture Xiangyang and other places. In the fourth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei broke Li Cheng and recovered Xiangyang and other places. He sent his son Liu Lin to invade the south of Huai, and was defeated repeatedly, causing the Jin Dynasty to become increasingly dissatisfied.

In the sixth year of Shaoxing, the Central Plains militia was requisitioned to attack the Song Dynasty on a large scale, but without the assistance of the Jin Dynasty, resulting in a great defeat and retreat, with heavy casualties and boiling public resentment. In the following year, he was abolished as the king of Shu, and the Jin Dynasty abolished the pseudo-Qi and moved to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing), and changed the title to King Cao

Xin Wenyu and Li Chengjin saw that this was the right time and were determined to avenge their division. And the family is not at ease, Wen Yu's second uncle Xin Li, second aunt Wei, wife Sun Qingyu, sister Xin Cui'e (Chengjin's wife), when the old and young masters are really in the same battle, the family is out of the way, and they have come out to help.

Cui'e said slowly: "Not long after the second uncle took us out of the house, my brother was afraid that once the matter was revealed, it would affect your old man and our family in Jinan, so he used a knife to cut himself into a big face.

Liu Yu is not only notoriously greedy, but also treacherous and cunning. At first, we didn't expect that he would set up his home in Linhuang Mansion in a very ordinary street and alley, and he was surrounded by cronies and henchmen, and he went through a lot of hardships to find his residence.

"In order to get close to him quietly, my brother and Cheng Jin rented several houses in a row, and walked around the streets and alleys dressed as tofu sellers for more than half a year, so that they could occasionally enter and leave his house.

"My brother and Cheng Jin later saw the opportunity to succeed in one blow, although Liu Yu did not die immediately, and survived for three years, but the assassination was successful."

Liu Yu was 65 years old when he was deposed. The year of his death is recorded in the Song Dynasty as the thirteenth year of Shaoxing, and the Jin history is recorded as the death of Wuyin in September of the sixth year of the emperor's reign.

"We spent a lot of time in Huining Mansion, and we slowly learned that the Song and Jin countries have been safe and sound in recent years, and they all rely on the hard work of many people in the northern country, and it is not easy to come. Although it is difficult to say which of the two countries will win or lose in a war, it is bound to be a war for many years, and the people of the world will inevitably suffer. We also feel more and more that undercover agents have a heavy responsibility and are responsible for the world. ”

When Xin Zan saw her daughter at first glance, she had a lot to ask, and seeing that she was impassioned, thinking that she had a quiet personality in the past, the current scene was quite unexpected. But seeing that she was emotional, it was up to her to say it.

Cui'e continued: "For decades, the Wanyan family has been full of famous generals, with many talents, and all kinds of generals. The Wanyan family's ability to have the strength to rise suddenly in the hands of Wanyan Agu is completely created by Wanyan Shilu's son Wanyan Ugunai, because Wanyan Wugunai's superior ability has truly laid the foundation of Wanyan family's strength.

"Wanyan Wugunai has not been a person who is content with the status quo since he was a child, he has great ambitions and lofty goals in his heart, after he took charge of the Wanyan family, he has been taking the Jurchen tribe ruled by the Wanyan family to conquer abroad, although they belong to the subordinate of the Liao State, do not belong to the citizens of the real Liao State, but the Liao State does not allow the Jurchen people to threaten the rule of the Liao State.

So he took advantage of an important fugitive to enter the jurisdiction of the Wanyan Ministry, and said that the Yan family secretly hid the Qin criminals, but Wanyan Wugunai generously admitted that he didn't know where the prisoners were, and when he was caught, he was immediately escorted to the capital of the Liao State, and the Liao envoy was afraid that the Wanyan people and the Qin prisoners would collude to his detriment, and finally retreated in disgrace.

For example, among the Jurchen tribes, there was a man named Shi Xian who was dissatisfied with the Liao State, so he took the initiative to bow to the Liao State, saying that he would help the Liao State destroy Shi Xian, but he knew that the strength of the Wanyan Department could not force the other party.

So while befriending Shi Xian's subordinates to resist the Liao soldiers, he secretly communicated with the Liao State, and finally Shi Xian's subordinates were annexed by Wanyan Wugunai.

Moreover, Wanyan Wugunai fought in the south and north throughout his life, and successively annexed the five strongest Jurchen tribes, Baishan, Ye Cheng, Tongmen, Ye Lazy, and Tugu, so that the Wanyan family completely became the supreme commander of the Jurchen tribe, and also accepted the gift of the Liao State. Therefore, there is the capital of Wanyan Wugunai's grandson, Wanyan Aguda, to completely replace Liao.

"In the third generation of Wanyan Zonghan, there are as many as fifty or sixty uncles and brothers, and more than 30 people with the talents of generals, such as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongxiong, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongpan and others have made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Jin State.

"In that year, the Jin soldiers crisscrossed the Central Plains, bringing the 'Jingkang shame', the Great Song Dynasty lost half of the north of the Huai River, and the royal family was almost wiped out, and the Great Song Dynasty army also learned its power in person."

Speaking of this, Cui'e's voice changed: "In the past few years, there have been killings in the court of the Jin Kingdom, and many people who threatened the Great Song Dynasty were either killed or lost their position, and they fell one by one, and the safety of the Great Song Dynasty also ushered in a turning point.

"Back then, Wanyan Agu raised an army against Liao, and he was extremely powerful since he was a child, and he was good at bows and arrows. Liao Tianqing succeeded his brother Wanyan Wuyashu for three years, and all Jurchen tribes were Bo Jilie. He gradually unified the neighboring tribes and expanded his power. In the fourth year of Liao Tianqing, he gathered all the troops to swear to oppose Liao in Lailiuhe, and defeated the Liao army in Ningjiang Prefecture and Chuhedian, with a full force of 10,000. In the first year of receiving the country, the founding of the country was 'Dajin', the year name was 'Receiving the country', the capital was Ningfu, and the plus name was the Great Sage Emperor. Later, he took the Liao Huanglong Mansion and defeated the Liao Tianzuo Emperor in Hubu Dagang. The following year, he defeated the army of Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai. In order to win the support of Bohai and Jurchen under Liao rule, he proposed that 'Nuzhi and Bohai are the same family', and sent people to recruit Liao Jurchens. In order to strengthen the army, the Meng'an Mook organization was created on the basis of the clan system. In the third year of Tianfu, he ordered Yan Xiyin to create the Jurchen script. Subsequently, he successively captured Liao Wujing and reached a 'maritime alliance' with the Song Dynasty. In the seventh year of Tianfu, Emperor Tianzuo chased the west and died of illness on the way back to Beijing. He was called Emperor Wuyuan, and the temple was called Taizu, and he was buried in Ruiling. Tired of "should be Qianxingyun, Zhaode, Dinggong, Ruishen, Zhuang Xiaorenming, Great Sage Wuyuan Emperor".

"Wanyan Agu is bold and resolute, and he is good at making decisions, 'even if he has no last resort, there is no soldier left'. In the war of exterminating Liao, he stabilized Goryeo, befriended Western Xia, united with the Northern Song Dynasty, always pointed the spearhead at Liao, and was able to pacify and subjugate, divide and disintegrate the Liao army, and can be called an outstanding military commander. He unified many Jurchen tribes and led them to complete the two undertakings of opposing Liao and founding the country, bringing the history of the Jurchen tribe into a new period. ”

Xin Zan couldn't help but interject and said, "We know this. In recent years, the competition for the throne of the Jin Kingdom has been fierce, and the internal friction is very large, so I can't take care of the southern invasion, which is also the luck of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Cui'e knew that her father hadn't seen her for a long time, and she didn't want to hear her talk about the affairs of the Jin Imperial Court, so she wanted to change the topic, so she said: "I have something very important right now, and only by reporting these to your old man together can I make it clear, and you can understand what my daughter wants to do today." ”

Although Xin Zan was quite strange, when he saw her like this, he let her continue.

Cui'e continued: "As I mentioned just now, Yan Zonghan not only made Taizong's group lose the emperor's throne, but also easily controlled Taizu's young emperor, but it also quickly attracted the siege of Taizu and Taizong's two forces. Since then, the people of several camps in the Jin court have fought for the succession to the throne, and they have never stopped.

"At that time, in the national court, the strongest was still the heir of Taizu Aguda. Wanyan Aguta has many sons, about sixteen of them are recorded, and the first five are basically the first five who participated in important historical events, namely Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongjun.

"Wanyan Zonggan is the eldest son of Shu, he has actually not been out of the capital much since his uncle became the emperor, perhaps he doesn't like to fight on the battlefield very much, since his father Wanyan Aguda period, he has always played the role of giving advice by the emperor's side; Or maybe his uncle was not at ease with his nephew, who could directly threaten the legitimacy of his throne, and always raised him with high officials, not wanting him to have military power.

In short, Wanyan Zonggan had a very high status in the Jin Taizong Dynasty, and the next one after Wanyan Sheng's death had nothing to do with him, until his son Wanyan Liang suddenly killed the monarch and then died in battle, and he had a place on the throne, and it flashed by.

"The second child is Wanyan Zongwang. Although the emperor was Wanyan Sheng during the attack on the Song Dynasty, the protagonist of the battle was Wanyan Zongwang. He burned, killed and looted Bianjing, but it was the first credit for the Jin Dynasty, so did he and his descendants ever be emperors in the Jin Dynasty? No.

"The third child, Wanyan Zongfu, has also been fighting with Ah Guda since he was a child, but because he died early, there is no big incident worth talking about. The reason why he was able to be on the list at our beginning was because after Wan Yan Liang died in battle, it was his son Wan Yan Yong who was proclaimed emperor.

"That fourth child is Wanyan Zongbi, because of his experience, his female real name is well known to the Han people, that is, the famous Wushu, also known as the Golden Vulture. He has only four words for the Jin Dynasty, that is, 'the founding hero'. In the battle against the Song army, he led the army to conquer Qingzhou, Linqu and other important cities, and then won and lost, probably too confident, Jin wanted to negotiate peace with Song, he resolutely tore up. In the end, he fought a little more, until he felt that he couldn't move, and the Southern Song Dynasty and Jin signed the "Shaoxing Peace Conference". After that, he returned to the dynasty to seize real power, which can be regarded as a general for Jin, but he himself and his descendants have nothing to do with the throne.

"Don't look at Yan Zongjun's fifth age, but he is the eldest son of Ah Guta, which means that the front is born to women outside the main room. Counting these and their descendants one or two generations later, the Jin Dynasty is basically completed. Because Jin has a total of less than 120 years of national ancestry, not counting the posthumous titles, there are only ten emperors.

Although the Taizu faction was helped by Zong Han to seize the throne, they also knew that it was a threat to the throne, so they took the lead in attacking it. At the beginning of Wanyan Kang's accession to the throne, he dismissed Marshal Zong Handu, completely cut off his military power, and demoted his henchman Wanyan Xiyin from Zuo Prime Minister and Servant to Xingzhong Yin. Soon after, he killed his cronies, Shangshu, Zuocheng, Gao Qingyi, etc., causing Zong Han to die of anger. However, Han Qi was known as a virtuous minister in his ancestors, and he was always respected by Wan Yan Kang's adoptive father Zonggan, and Han Fang was Wan Yan Kang's teacher, and the two of them had to protect their lives. Tian Yu was recommended to Wanyan Zongbi by Han Qi first with the talent of the prime minister, but he was not a person and was killed soon after.

"The most regrettable thing during this period is that Yuwen Xuzhong was betrayed by Qin Hui, and the family was killed by Wanyan Zongbi at the behest of Wanyan Liang.

At this point, the Zonghan faction gradually declined, and the Jin Taizong faction took the opportunity to make trouble again, prompting Jin Ting to abolish Liu Yu's puppet regime, which brought Wen Yu and Cheng Jin the opportunity to avenge the teacher, and we also arrived at Linhuang Mansion at that time.

"Taizong Wu begged to buy a lineage, and the eldest son Wanyan Zongpan was the main one, and he got Wanyan Zongjun, the son of Taizu who served as Taibao in Beijing, to defect and take refuge, and then pulled the left deputy marshal to be lazy. The three of them formed a party membership, and after the decline of Zong Han's faction, there was no rival among the courtiers. They controlled the government, advocated peace with the Song Dynasty, ceded the land of Henan and Shaanxi, and finally rebelled, but what they did was very beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, in fact, in the end, these three people should be counted as our people.

"Wanyan Kang saw that the situation was not right, and relied on Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Xiyin, etc., to successively kill Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang and others, and regain military and political power.

"Wanyan Xiyin was originally Zong Han's confidant, and after Wanyan Yan and Wanyan Zongbi used him to kill Yan Zongpan and others, they died at home.

"Although Wanyan is the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he was still young when he ascended the throne, and he has been controlled by Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongbi for a long time, and his dependence is too strong. And as the two of them fell ill and died one after another, he suddenly felt that he had lost his support, and the internal strife and chaos in the court inevitably drove him crazy. Therefore, in the later part of his reign, he drank heavily and sank, and the six gods had no master, and he became more and more perverse, as if he was crazy.

"Wan Yan later killed her in a fit of anger because he was dissatisfied with Empress Pei Man's wanton interference in politics. then killed all his own brothers, punished his concubine Tang Kuo for no reason, and caused him to defect, and finally betrayed his relatives and was killed by Wan Yanliang.

"That Wanyan Liang character Yuan Gong, his real name is Di Gu Nai, a native of Huining Mansion. He is the fourth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, the eldest grandson of Jin Taizu, the second son of Taishi Wanyan Zonggan, and his mother is a big clan.

"In the third year of the Heavenly Family, Wan Yan Liang became a general of the country as a subordinate official of the clan. After four years of imperial rule, he was crowned as the general of the Dragon and Tiger Guard. Later, he was promoted to the right minister of Shangshu, Pingzhang political affairs, and right prime minister. In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, Wanyan Liang killed Jin Xizong to stand on his own and changed Yuan Tiande. During his reign, Wan Yanliang took a series of measures to promote the development of Jurchen society and the feudalization of the Jin Dynasty, laying a good foundation for the sustainable development of the Jin Dynasty. In the first year of Zhenyuan, the capital was moved from Shangjing Huining Mansion to Yanjing and renamed Zhongdu. In the first year of Zhenglong, the ancestors and emperors were buried to Dafang Mountain. In the second year of Zhenglong, the old palace and the aristocratic palace and Chuqing Temple were destroyed.

But on the other hand, Wanyan Liang's throne is not in the right way, and it is inevitable that he will feel unstable, and he will inevitably employ cronyism, so he will naturally cut off dissidents, and he will be more brutal and murderous than the previous emperor. Wanyan Liangxi reads, has literary talents, works in poetry, and is known in history as "a chant and a chant, the crown at that time". His representative works include "Waiting for the Moon", and he is also the author of "Shubi Shuhuai", "Yongdao Yizhu", "Crossing Ruyin", and "Inscription Screen". He felt that this was not enough, and began to kill the old minister, who had been holding heavy troops for a long time, and drank fish bones. After that, he used the excuse to kill the clan Wanyan Zongbenxi, Wanyan Zongmeiyu, Wanyan Zongyi, Wanyan Bingde and others, so that more than 30 descendants of Zonghan, more than 100 descendants of Xianye, more than 20 descendants of Mouli and many other clan ministers were wiped out.

At this point, most of the ministers of the Jin Dynasty were killed by him, and they were all generals who could fight habitually, and the children of the clan were almost only the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest were also panicked. This is an unexpected joy for Da Song to remove many strong opponents at once.

"Although Wan Yan is also brutal, he treats the royal family quite kindly. Although he killed Jin Taizong's eldest son, Wanyan Zongpan, he also let the other sons have their own greater power.

"As far as the generals of the Jin State are concerned, to eliminate the threat to the Great Song Dynasty, he has not done a better job than Wan Yan Liang, and he has done more credit without Wan Yan Liang." Refer to the work "The Legend of Heroes in the North"
