Chapter 57: The Righteous Knot Jin Lan (Part II)
(ps: I am wrong about the time when Wanyan Yong's mother Li Hongyuan became a monk, she was ordained as a nun in Guangyou Temple in Liaoyang in 1145 AD, that is, ten years after Zongfu's death. The timeline here doesn't match www.biquge.info, but because of the needs of the plot, I changed her to practice at Gyeongbokga Temple outside the capital first, don't blame you, thank you. )
In the evening, several people set up a table in the courtyard, ordered the store to cure the wine and food, and called Zhang Jinyan and Wan Yanyong, and invited them to have a drink together.
Although everyone doesn't have a good impression of Wan Yan Yong, a Jurchen, Xu Tianchang and Li Yao have learned a lot of things from Zhang Jinyan in the past few days, it turns out that Wan Yan Yong's father Zongfu is very different from several other Jin army commanders, he has a generous personality, is benevolent, and honest. Although he also led his troops to fight with the Great Song Dynasty many times, he did not allow his subordinates to mutilate innocents, restrain his subordinates, and prohibit robbery and plunder, which was completely different from the practices of Zong Wang, Zong Bi and others.
And his mother is Li Hongyuan, who is a member of the Bohai tribe, smart and capable, virtuous and kind, Wan Yanyong has been taught by his mother since he was a child, admires the culture of the Central Plains, and is also very friendly in his attitude towards the Han people, so everyone's hostility towards the three of them is not so deep.
At the dinner table, everyone greeted each other and congratulated Dugu Jian on his recovery, and Dugu Jian also thanked everyone for his protection. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wan Yanyong suddenly asked: "Two heroes, we have been here with you for five days, I don't know when you can let us go?"
After Yan Yong asked, Dugu Jian was also stunned for a moment, when he saved them, although he wanted to get a "strange goods" to live in, but what should be done, he himself didn't know, not to mention that he had been healing in the past few days, and he didn't have the heart to think about this problem. And Xu Tianchang didn't have any good ideas, so whenever Zhang Jinyan mentioned this matter in the past few days, he would always perfunctory and ask them to wait.
But now, except for the Jurchen man named Busahu, whose injuries have not healed, the rest of the people have basically healed from their injuries. At this time, Wan Yanyong brought up this matter again, if he prevaricated again, it was not impossible. It's just that judging from the current situation, Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin will definitely plan to return south tomorrow and go to Shaolin Temple to meet Master Wuxu, and Uncle Wan and they must have bought a horse and are on their way back, I am afraid that in two or three days, they will be able to rush here to meet Li Yao and Xu Tianchang.
At that time, the stay of Wan Yanyong, Zhang Jinyan and Bu Sahu will really become a problem. Now it seems that if these three people had been killed with a knife without knowing it at the time, it would have been altogether. It's just that now that they know the inside story, they didn't do anything evil, but treated the Han people more kindly. If they were really killed, they shouldn't have been, and the husband had something to do and something to do, but no one wanted to do it.
The four of them looked at each other, but no one spoke, and the scene was cold for a while. Dugu Jian pondered for a moment, put down his chopsticks, looked directly at Wan Yan Yong and asked, "Wan Yan Yong, I have a question I want to ask you, I hope you can answer truthfully." Wan Yanyong looked at Dugu Jian's eyes, nodded and replied: "Dugu Daxia, but it doesn't hurt to ask, I must not dare to hide anything." ”
Several people's eyes looked at Dugu Jian, only to hear him ask: "I don't know what you think of the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom in your heart?
After hearing this, Yan Yong thought for a moment, took a drink from the wine glass, and stood up suddenly. I saw that everyone's eyes were all focused on him again, "Dugu Daxia, I know in my heart that for this war, if I say here that it is wrong to say that Dajin is wrong, it was my uncles and uncles who provoked this war and condemned their actions, you may all think that I am lying for the sake of survival." Or maybe I think I'm genuinely disgusted by their actions. But I can't do that, because I'm a Jurchen, and I have the blood of the descendants of Wanyan Aguta! ”
After hearing Yan Yong say this, several people couldn't help but have a trace of respect for this sixteen-year-old boy in their hearts, and he still chose to tell the truth when he knew that it might anger everyone. After listening to Yan Yong, he continued: "In my opinion, my grandfather, Emperor Taizu, made a 'maritime covenant' with the Great Song Dynasty to attack Liao together, and after the Great Song Dynasty was repeatedly defeated by the Liao army, he still returned the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty as promised, it can be said that he did an impeccable job, and you Song people will never be able to say that he is not!"
"Yes, your grandfather did keep the covenant and returned the land in full, we really have nothing to say, but what about after that?" Dugu Jian asked rhetorically.
"No, what happened after that, we Dajin were indeed at fault, but what about you monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty? Did they do everything right? Take the matter of Jin Yan's father as an example, since the two countries have made an alliance, how can you take in the Liao people who have surrendered to our Dajin? Is this what the allies should do? The Great Song Dynasty did not make an inch of success in the battle to destroy the Liao, but they obtained so much land for nothing, which has already aroused the dissatisfaction of many meritorious heroes within Dajin, and you have taken in the generals of the Liao State, isn't this adding fuel to the fire? It just gave those generals who had great achievements an excuse to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty. When Yan Yong said this, he seemed to be drunk, and his face was slightly flushed, Zhang Jinyan hurriedly pulled his sleeve, wanting to signal him to say a few words, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.
Wan Yanyong continued: "Indeed, I admit that my uncles and uncles have indeed gone too far in dealing with the people of the Great Song Dynasty, arson and looting at every turn, women adultering women, and setting fire to the city. These acts of theirs are indeed contrary to the harmony of heaven. But I also want to ask, don't you Han people have these behaviors? Looking further afield, the general of the Qin State Bai Qi killed 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State, and Cao Cao, the Emperor of Wei Wu, even slaughtered more than 10 cities in Xuzhou with human breast as military rations. Look closer, your Taizu and Emperor Taizong of the Great Song Dynasty have fought all their lives and broken countless countries, but they can't even tolerate a few monarchs who have fallen to the country, **** wives, and killed several monarchs who have surrendered, which of these things is different from the approach of my uncles?"
Indeed, from the standpoint of a Han Chinese, it is true that they grit their teeth with hatred for the evil deeds of the Jurchens, but if you think about it carefully, in all dynasties and dynasties, which prince and prince did not have blood on his hands? Dare to say that he did not kill innocents indiscriminately? Those who dare to pat their chests and say this are indeed very rare, and they are pitiful.
Suddenly, Zhang Linxin raised his head and replied loudly: "What you said is true, but you kidnapped our two emperors, thousands of princes and ministers, harem families, and tens of thousands of craftsmen and women, this is an unprecedented shame, how should this matter be calculated?"
Wan Yan Yong was speechless, he didn't know how to answer, after all, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and it was beyond everyone's expectations to have such a remark, and he really couldn't say anything about the "shame of Jingkang". Although it is common for the handsome master to attack the country and insist on his monarch to ask for the guilt in the past, it is true that they are the only ones who have abducted all the princes and ministers and women's families like the Jin people and wantonly beaten and scolded the ****.
He was not involved in this matter, but his father Sosuke was indeed in the army at the time, and he could not escape his involvement. Wan Yan Yong lowered his head and was silent for a while before he spoke: "This matter, we have gone too far, I, I ......" He wanted to apologize, but what qualifications did he have? He Wan Yan Yong was just a powerless little prince, although he was more favored by the emperor, but what was the use? Wan Yan Yong picked up the wine glass again, poured a full glass of wine, and said: "Dugu Daxia, I don't know how to say it, this glass of wine represents my apology, I will do it first!" As soon as he raised his head, he drank the wine.
"If one day in the future, I can be reused, I will definitely persuade our emperor of Dajin to rebuild with your Great Song Dynasty, not to invade each other, and to turn hostility into jade. That's what I promise you!" he poured another glass of wine and drank it. Then I saw him sit down, lay down at the table, and fell asleep like that! )
