Chapter 2 Wu Mu's Suicide Note (Ask for a Monthly Pass)
In late autumn, Yang Kang entered the palace and saw Wan Yan Honglie in the palace study, the emperor was reviewing the folds, and there was a thick stack on the table, I am afraid that there is no free time this afternoon.
Wanyan Honglie inherited the habit of bowing down to everything in Kaifeng Mansion, and always arranged his daily life to the fullest, Yang Kang rarely saw him have leisure time, even more so after becoming an emperor, this may be the price of being a good emperor, and those mediocre emperors can always live a life of pleasure.
Yang Kang imagined that if he was to be the emperor, he would never have to work so hard, otherwise there would be no fun in life, but this was his idea at this time, and he might not think so when he became the emperor.
He knelt down three feet in front of the table and bowed down to greet Yan Honglie.
This distance is particular, and only Yang Kang can bow down at such a close distance, and other ministers should be farther away, because in ancient times, the length of a sword was about three feet, so it was also called a three-foot sword, if it was too close to the emperor, there was a suspicion of assassination, and the three-foot land was a relatively safe distance for the emperor.
"Ah Kang, let's be even!" Wanyan Honglie said gently, "Is life in the palace okay?"
"It's good, and I have the heart of Father Lao. Yang Kang responded.
This is the opening remarks of the father and son, which makes the little prince of Jin Guo feel a little like acting, the life of the royal family is completely different from the life of ordinary people, in the past, there was not much feeling in the Zhao Palace, since Wanyan Honglie became the emperor, this feeling has become more and more obvious.
"I've summoned you this time for something I want you to do. Wanyan Honglie said casually, "Akang, you have read the historical records of this dynasty, so do you know who the most meritorious person of this dynasty is?"
"That's naturally grandpa. Yang Kang said without thinking.
Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta is the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty and the leader of the Jurchen clan, if the meritorious service is naturally great, no one can object to this, Yang Kang feels that this question is a little strange.
"Hehe, blame my father for asking inappropriately, what my father wants to say is a general who leads the army......" Wan Yan Honglie said with a look of fascination.
As a heroic figure, Wanyan Honglie is a genius in strategy and military affairs, but he also has his own admirer, that is, Wanyan Zongbi, the founding hero of the Jin Kingdom, this name may not be well-known, but Jin Wushu is known to everyone.
Wanyan Zongbi is the fourth son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, his real name is slurp, and he is a vulture, the Song Dynasty people call him the fourth prince of the Jin State, he is the tough main battle faction of the Jin State, and the merit of his life is to eliminate the Northern Song Dynasty, and use the Southern Song Dynasty Prime Minister Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei, forcing the Southern Song Dynasty to declare himself a vassal to the Jin State, and signed the humiliating Shaoxing Peace Conference.
Although Wanyan Zongbi was not the emperor in the Jin Kingdom, he was more powerful than the emperor Jin Xizong Wanyan at that time, and he was in charge of military and political power, and his power was tilted towards the government and the opposition, and no one dared to take advantage of it.
Wanyan Honglie's admiration for him is the appreciation of one strong man for another.
"It is such a brave general, and there are regrets in his life. Wanyan Honglie sighed, "That is, when I met Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, when I was fighting the Song Dynasty, I suffered several setbacks, and later I used a strategy to get rid of Yue Fei, instead of killing the old enemy on the battlefield." ”
Yang Kang knows this story very well, Jin Wushu and Yue Fei fought against Zhu Xianzhen, the iron floating tu of the Jin Kingdom and the super duel between the kidnapping horse and the Yue family's army, often appear in the romance stories of later generations, of course, most of them are talking about the bravery of the Yue family's army and the fiasco of the Jin people.
Yang Kang had read the history written by the people of the Jin Dynasty, including a secret letter written by Wanyan Zongbi to Qin Hui, saying that "Yue Fei must be killed before peace can be negotiated", which proves from the side that Qin Hui is not a spy of the Jin State, but just an authentic surrender faction.
"The reason why Yue Fei was able to win many battles was because of his strange tactics and tactics, which are said to have been passed on from Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms. Wanyan Honglie said.
There is also an allusion here, Yue Fei's master is Shaanxi hero iron arm Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong is a martial arts master in the late Northern Song Dynasty, good at riding and shooting, and later got the appreciation of Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion, and entered the military palace as the head of the head of the army, which is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In addition to Yue Fei, Zhou Tong also accepted several famous disciples, the eldest disciple is the jade unicorn Lu Junyi, the second disciple is the leopard head Lin Chong, it is said that Wu Song is Zhou Dong's anonymous disciple, and later Zhou Tong gave up the position of the head of the forbidden army to Lin Chong.
This Shaanxi hero is not only a military general, but also the descendant of Jiang Wei, a famous general of Shu in the late Three Kingdoms, and Jiang Wei's strategy of war comes from Wuhou Zhuge Liang, so it is speculated that Yue Fei is the descendant of Zhuge Liang.
Yang Kang heard this kind of rumor for the first time, it turned out that "Wu Mu's Testament" turned out to be Zhuge Liang's art of war, he heard Yan Honglie talk about Yue Fei and knew that it was inseparable from "Wu Mu's Testament", and he thought that this mission was to go to the Southern Song Dynasty Palace to steal "Wu Mu's Testament".
I just stole the jade seal of the country once, don't treat me as a habitual thief, okay?
Yang Kang slandered in his heart, but he was actually used to stealing for a long time, stealing the scriptures from the ancient tombs, stealing the scriptures from the Shaolin Temple, and stealing the scriptures from Peach Blossom Island......
He knew that the "Wu Mu Testament" was not in the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty at all, but was stolen by Shangguan Jiannan, the former gang leader of the Iron Palm Gang, and stored in the holy land of the Iron Palm Gang, so it was more convenient to go directly to the Iron Palm Peak if he wanted to.
Before his death, Yue Fei wrote his art of war into a military book, called "Wu Mu's Testament", and his father began to verify the whereabouts of this military book a long time ago, and finally found traces in several Song Dynasty royal albums. Wanyan Honglie said proudly, "That "Wu Mu Testament" is in the court of the Song Kingdom. ”
Yang Kang showed a surprised expression very cooperatively, and asked for details to satisfy Yan Honglie's research habits.
"You follow the mission to Lin'an this time, and hand over a secret letter from your father to Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Song Kingdom, and he will arrange for you to enter the palace. Wanyan Honglie instructed, "You can't reveal your identity on this mission, just as an entourage of the mission, as long as you can get Yue Fei's art of war, my father can rearmament, attack the weak Song Dynasty in the south, and Mobei in the north, let the world be unified, and complete the unfulfilled wish of Taizu back then." ”
Yang Kang looked at the ambitious emperor, and had some doubts in his heart, wanting to rely on a military book to dominate the world, which was too unreliable, Guo Jing got the "Wu Mu Testament", and the Southern Song Dynasty was still destroyed by the Mongols, but Zhang Wuji gave the "Wu Mu Testament" to Xu Da, and Xu Da assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to become the emperor.
It seems that the book of war can only be used as a help, and it really relies on the general trend of history, the Southern Song Dynasty is weak, even if it has the "Wu Mu Testament", it is useless, and the rise of the Ming Dynasty is because of the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the last years of the people, and they are not able to make a living, and they bring about their own destruction, and the book of war has little to do with it.
But since Wanyan Honglie is so superstitious about the role of "Wu Mu's Testament", the little prince of Jin Guo knows that this trip to the Southern Song Dynasty is inevitable, and he knows that he will run for nothing, but he still has to do it, which is the helplessness of the traverser.
