Chapter 55 Jurchen Jianjin is like this, and the internal and external struggles are similar
During this period, Yan Zonghan's work was the most difficult and difficult. Wanyan Zonghan, also known as Zongwei, the Jurchen name is not drunk, also known as Sticky Han, the boy bird family slave, the Jin Dynasty clan, the famous general, and the eldest son of the Prime Minister Wanyan Sagai. At the age of seventeen, Wanyan Zonghan was known for his bravery, and in his early years he participated in the support of the Agu War and the war against Liao. From Taizu Agu to the right army, the Liao army was defeated in the ancient city of Dalu. In the fifth year of Tianfu, he admonished the west to destroy Liao, and Ren moved to the top of the world, followed Yan Gaoke to Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and then led the division to defeat Xi Wang Xiamo. Garrison Bei'an, capture Liao guard Yelu Xi Nilie. Later, it was suggested that Yan Gao should send troops to destroy Liao, join forces with Yan Gao in Xiwangling, attack Emperor Tianzuo of Liao with 6,000 elite soldiers, send Yan Xiyin and others to pursue, and then attack Yanjing with Aguda. In June of the seventh year of Tianfu, he was appointed as the commander of the capital and garrisoned in the clouds.
"In the second year of Tianhui, he went to Western Xia with Wanyan Zongwang to negotiate peace and establish the relationship between the Jinxia clan and the clan. Tianhui three years, and Wanyan Zong Wang, please cut the Song. He served as the deputy marshal of the left, cut down the Song Dynasty from Taiyuan Road, and surrounded Taiyuan Mansion. At the end of the following year, he joined forces with the Eastern Route Army at Bianjing. In the fifth year of Tianhui, more than 470 people of Song Hui, Emperor Qin and the clan were captured, and they were captured and returned to the north. In July, Jin Taizong awarded iron coupons, except for rebellion, the rest did not ask. Later, he went to Luoyang to suppress the people's rebellion, took Zhengzhou, moved the people of Luoyang, Xiangyang, Zhengzhou, Junzhou and other places to Hebei, and sent Yan Lou and others to capture Shaanxi Prefecture. With Zonggan, Xi Yin and others, he invited Taizong to establish Taizu Sun Wanyan, who was extremely strong. In the eighth year of Tianhui, Ren Guolun was extremely strong and the marshal of the capital. After Yan Kang ascended the throne, he worshiped Yan Zonghan as the Taibao and Shang Shuling, led the three provincial affairs, and was crowned the king of Jin.
"Even if Wanyan Zonghan is like a character, under the discord of the princesses, it is inevitable that he will be depressed by the emperor of the Jin Kingdom."
Xin Zan and the others sounded both surprised and funny, the throne of the Jin Kingdom seemed to have been grasped back then, and they could give it to whoever they wanted. This matter is quite unbelievable and unbelievable, but Cui'e said it in a straightforward way, and it was very in line with the situation at the time, and no one could help but believe it.
Cui'e continued: "Because Wanyan Zonghan has made meritorious contributions to the establishment of the new monarch, he inevitably does not take the new monarch in his eyes. After Wan Yan Yan ascended the throne with the help of Wan Yan Zonghan and others, due to his young age, the emperor did extremely difficult, and he did not have the heart to invade the Song Dynasty for a while, so he turned around to deal with Wan Yan Zonghan. The emperor who belonged to the Taizu lineage took the opportunity to make trouble, and Wanyan Zongpan, who was robbed of the throne of Taizong, immediately counterattacked, Yuwen Xuzhong, Cai Songnian, etc. took the opportunity to get rid of the old Liao minister Gao Qingyi who hated the Song Dynasty around Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zonghan also died of anger and depression.
"After a lot of rebellion work against Yan Zonghan, although it did not achieve the goal of being very close to the Great Song Dynasty, the rebellion work was not very successful, but on the whole it was thin and effective. Wanyan Zonghan never actively planned to attack the Great Song Dynasty as before, but later devoted himself to fighting for power and profit within the Jin court and engaging in internal strife between the courts. He later advocated for Jin Taizong to pass on the throne to Wanyan Wu Qimai, which was extremely stupid for both the country and himself. If this matter had been put before we had done his work of rebellion, with his wit and loyalty to the Kingdom of Jin, he would never have done this.
"Over the years, the most unsuccessful rebellion has been against the Golden Vultures. Don't look at the golden vulture that never had the upper hand in the battle with Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, but this man is very insidious and cunning, he is well versed in the art of espionage, and has always been the greatest enemy of the Song people in the northern country.
After Yan Zongbi, he also had Princess Zhao Yuanzhu as his second concubine, and the original Huizong's concubine Chen Yan as his concubine, and the two of them were also doing their best to work by his side to rebel against him. How do you know that this golden vulture not only didn't listen to the words of the two of them at all, but became extremely vigilant because of these, and what is even more odious is that he also took the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos at this time to cut off dissidents, and attacked our people many times. He first rebelled against the traitor Qin Hui and surrendered to the Jin State, he did not come forward in person, but borrowed Yan Chang's means to return him to the Great Song Dynasty to be an undercover agent of the Jin State, so that we have tried our best to rebel against Yan Chang, we are in the long-term undercover Yuwen Xu, Marshal Yue Feiyue, who was the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty's resistance to Jin, were all organized by him and killed together with Qin Hui, the most regrettable thing is that Yuwen Xuzhong also took the lives of more than 100 people in the whole family. However, in the struggle between these people, he reaped the benefits, and took the opportunity to get rid of several major opponents in the imperial court, such as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongpan, and Wanyan Chang, and was able to monopolize power in the last few years of his life.
"Because of the high status and power of the Golden Vulture and the fact that he is the uncle of Wanyan Yan, we have always been helpless against him, and we have no choice but to let him die a good death. We are not without success with him, and we have not achieved much success, that is, with his hands, we got rid of several Liao ministers of Qiu Song, Gao Qingyi, Tian Yu, etc., especially Tian Yu and a group of people, so that Jin suffered a great loss. There is also that after his death, Cai Songnian borrowed Yan Liang's hand to get rid of his former confidant Aru Bu.
"The princesses of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be very successful with Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Chang, and Wanyan Zongjun, and they looked at the original plan to return the land of Henan and Shaanxi in the Great Song Dynasty after all, and finally conspired against the Jin and Song Dynasty, which can be said to have shocked the Song and Jin countries. The main obstacle to the failure of this matter is that in addition to the emperor Wanyan Kang and his adoptive father Wanyan Zonggan and the fourth emperor's uncle Wanyan Zongbi, there is also an extremely important figure Wanyan Xiyin. He came from Wanyan Zonghan's camp to help the emperor, and actually killed Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Chang, and Wanyan Zongjun, and gradually became more and more threatening to the Great Song Dynasty in the north.
"Princess Fujin of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Emperor Maode, is the most beautiful. When Jingkang changed, he was named and asked for by the Jin people, and he was the first group of people to enter the gold camp first, first occupied by Wanyan Zongwang, the second prince of Jin, Wanyan Zongwang died early, and then occupied by Wanyan Xiyin. Princess Fujin first set out to rebel against Wanyan Xiyin, but when the rebellion failed, she began to implement a counter-plot.
"Emperor Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Qinzong and Emperor Gaozong today are all masters of calligraphy, and the calligraphy of princes and princesses is also excellent. At that time, Princess Fujin was not only beautiful, but also the first among the princesses, so she helped Yan Xiyin create Jurchen characters and taught her how to write Yan Xiyin. That Yan Xiyin is not only a beauty, but also a talent, so I am so unhappy.
"After a long time, Princess Fujin found those who helped Wanyan Zonghan fight for power in the new official document of Wanyan Xiyin's participation in the drawing of the Jin Guoge, and then used the holy hand of the magic pen to imitate some and passed them to Wanyan Zongbi. Wanyan Zongbi was furious, and finally asked the emperor to kill Wanyan Xiyin at home. It's just a pity that before Yan Xiyin cut himself, he realized that he must have been manipulated by Princess Fujin and killed him before he died. Princess Fujin succeeded in separating Yan Xiyin, and finally eliminated the big harm, and left with a smile. Recently, the Jin Imperial Court has become more and more aware of the strange affairs of Wanyan Xiyin, and there is a tendency to rehabilitate, but Wanyan Xiyin is dead after all.
"After the death of Wanyan Zongpan, the eldest princess Zhao Jinpan was sent to Wanyan Palace by Wanyan Xiyin to be his wife. At that time, the eldest princess was in the inner palace of Wanyan Kang, as well as the princess Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Yuanzhu, Zhao Lianzhu, Zhao Jinyin, Zhao Saiyue, Zhao Jingu, and two county lords, Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Yuyan.
"The Wanyan family of the Jin court treated the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty like this, naturally there was no lack of barbarism and cruelty, but it was mostly because the Jurchen customs were completely different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains, and the education was far inferior, especially Jin had the upper hand in the campaign against the Song Dynasty, and he lacked respect for the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty. When the people of the Central Plains saw their marriage chaos at the beginning, it was difficult to talk about it. But then I watched more, and I didn't think it was strange.
"Although Wanyan was quite criticized by the Jurchen dignitaries and nobles, calling him 'like a young man from a Han household', he was extremely close to the Great Song Dynasty, and was actually a rare good emperor in the Jin Kingdom, so he was liked by the people in the Northern Song Dynasty. Since he was a child, he studied the history of Chinese scriptures with Han Fang, a minister of Liao, and often went to the Jigu Palace to study the classics of the Central Plains. He likes to sing Confucian clothes, can write poems in Chinese, and often 'shoots poems' with Han Fang and others. After ascending the throne, he was especially diligent in studying Chinese classics.
"At the beginning of his reign, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Zongbi successively took charge of government affairs. Although Wanyan Zongbi in the later period was forced to promote peace with Shaoxing of the Great Song Dynasty because he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Marshal Yue Fei and Marshal Han Shizhong, he was always unwilling and always keen to invade the Song Dynasty. Wan Yan often sat in silence during the court discussions of the invasion of the Song Dynasty, trying to calm down the incidents between the Song and Jin.
"In those years, although there were many events in the Jin Kingdom, the temple decision-making was enough to win, abolishing the pseudo-Qi, and the Great Song Dynasty, we are also happy to see that its officials are honest, the government is streamlined, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
But in the later part of his reign, in addition to Wanyan Zongbi, there was also an important figure who hated the Song Dynasty, that is, his own queen Pei Manshi. Although Queen Pei Man is not resourceful, she is very fond of harem politics. When Yan Xiyin was separated, she was the first to be fooled, and then she used the golden vulture and killed Yan Yan.
Empress Pei Man couldn't help but be jealous when she saw the royal women of the Great Song Dynasty who were more and more fond of the harem. Thinking of the strange thing about Yan Xiyin again, and slowly recalling it, I have to get rid of the eldest princesses as soon as possible. She was seriously ill and went to the hospital indiscriminately, and even privately rewarded Wan Yanliang, who was coveting the throne, with the intention of winning over the Song Dynasty and invading the Song Dynasty. That Wan Yan Liang is not only determined to take the throne, but also aims to invade and occupy the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, which should be the common enemy of the Great Song Dynasty and Wan Yan Liang. Then Empress Pei Man actually colluded with him wantonly, intending to disadvantage the Great Song Dynasty, how could the Great Song princesses who were also in the harem let them succeed? The princesses of the Great Song Dynasty relied on the strength of the crowd and deliberately provoked, and finally provoked Yan Yan to be angry with Queen Pei Man and killed her with her own hands. ”
When Cui'e said this, she suddenly asked Xin Zan: "Not only did they successfully use the divisive trick to kill the cunning Wanyan Xiyin, but also made Wanyan Yan angry with the queen of the Song Dynasty and killed her personally, can the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty be regarded as heroines?" Is it also like Xi Shi who has made miraculous achievements? ”
Xin Zan couldn't help but nod and said, "Of course, these women can be regarded as heroines!" The eldest princess Yupan, who was once named Emperor Jiade, married Zeng Kun, the general of the Left Guard, before the difficulty of Jingkang, was famous for her gentleness and virtuousness. I didn't expect that after falling into trouble, it was really not easy to lead these weak women to make such great achievements in Jin Guoguo.
"Huizong has many heirs, but in the battle between Song and Jin, it is incomparable with Wanyan Agu's sons and nephews who are like wolves and tigers. I sometimes think, just like Huizong named his princes Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai, Zhao Gou, etc., all of which contain the word 'wood', and the princes of the Great Song Dynasty may have become wooden because of this, and they are all very weak. Jingkang's difficulties have come, and most of them are resigned to fate and helpless. Jin Kemu may be destined to be harmed by Jin Guo. And the princesses have the word 'gold' in their names, perhaps because they are entangled with the Jin country. ”
Cui'e couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she heard Xin Zan say this: "Daddy said this, it's not unreasonable, but it's not all reasonable. I once heard the eldest princess say that as soon as they encountered the difficulties of Jingkang, they all believed in their fate. Later, when I thought of fighting, I simply didn't believe it, and finally made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty. Later, she decided that if you believe in it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it, and you will never succumb to it. ”
When Xin Zan heard her daughter say this, she couldn't help but smile and said: "My daughter has grown up and has more experience, and my father is not as right as my daughter." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter a few more times. Seeing that her face had an expression of surprise at the first time when she met her, it was difficult to hide the deep sadness in her stomach. Since the father and daughter met, they have chattered endlessly, although all the things they said were military and important matters between the Song and Jin countries, but they were not irrelevant to each other at all, but they were not major events that could not be said. If she hadn't insisted on talking all the time, she would have interrupted her conversation a long time ago, and asked her to talk more about the shortcomings of fathers and sons and the warmth of the world. However, Xin Zan became more and more vaguely aware that her daughter was in a trance at this time, and couldn't help but be a little surprised and worried inexplicably.
