Chapter 4: The End of a Dynasty

In the Lin'an Mansion of the Song Kingdom, in the palace, Yang Kang and Xie Daoqing sat upright in a rare place, facing each other.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?" Xie Daoqing said solemnly.

"Since you can't avoid it, it's better to take this opportunity to try it once. Yang Kang said in a deep voice, "We have no way out. ”

"It's too risky. Xie Daoqing pondered, "This is the enemy of the whole world." ”

"Is there any other choice?" Yang Kang asked rhetorically.

Empress Xie thought about it, and after a while, she shook her head, this is the best way to solve the current situation, but once you go on a business trip, the consequences will be unimaginable, maybe you should prepare a way out in advance.

Yang Kang and Xie Daoqing discussed a change of dynasty, or a plan to usurp the throne, his identity has been exposed, whether it is acting with his younger brother Zhao and Rui, or the strategy of not admitting it, it is just self-deception, and for the time being, he can still fool the ministers and the people, but as time goes by, someone will always tear off this fig leaf, so that he has nowhere to hide.

Rather than waiting for the enemy to find evidence to strike a fatal blow, it is better to change the dynasty yourself and establish a new dynasty.

This is undoubtedly a great adventure, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the enemy of the world, the founding emperors of the previous dynasties want to replace the previous dynasty either after several years of conquest, or have a very high prestige, Confucianism implements the idea of loyalty to the monarch, and the usurper of the dynasty is a chaotic minister and thief whom everyone shouts and fights, which is to confront the entire scholar class.

The reason why Yang Kang did not kill Wan Yan Xu, but took Concubine Rong away, was precisely because he wanted the Jin State and the Song State to start a war, he was provoking Wan Yan Xu and letting the Emperor of the Jin State launch an attack, this war could divert the attention of the Song State subjects from Yang Kang's identity and give him more time to prepare.

The war also allowed him to meddle in the affairs of the army, install cronies, and seize military power, preparing for his next change of dynasty.

The most important thing is that this war can win him great prestige, and the subjects of the Song State feel that the most humiliating thing is to be destroyed by the Jin State, the old mountains and rivers fell into the hands of the enemy, the weakness and forbearance of hundreds of years, and the mediocrity and incompetence of the emperors of the Song State, this qiē made the subjects empty of blood but nowhere to vent.

Yang Kang used this war to provide them with a channel to vent, once the Jin State was destroyed and the dream of the people of the Song State for a hundred years was completed, his popularity among the people would climb to the top, he used the Jin Kingdom as a tool for his prestige, when the people wanted, it was the best time for him to announce his identity, and the resistance encountered at that time was the least, and the probability of success was the greatest, even if someone objected afterwards, he had already mastered the general trend,

For the sake of military power and popular support, this war must be fought.

In the palace of the Jin Kingdom, he let go of the last trace of concern for the Jin Kingdom, the country he repeatedly saved was finally destroyed in his hands, and this battle was not only to be won, but also to win beautifully.

With Yang Kang's understanding of Jin [***] force, under the attack of the Song State and Mongolia, the Jin State will hold on for half a year at most, and he will use this half a year to prepare, and all he can rely on is the Xie family and the Jia family, the interests of these two families are tied to him, and the so-called one is prosperous and one is lost.

Prime Minister Xie Yili co-opted a group of spineless literati and began to advocate the Zen concession system in ancient times, believing that the position of the Son of Heaven should be inhabited by capable people, which was an outlier in the prosperous Song Kingdom, which caused many Confucian rebuttals and set off a vigorous debate.

This is just one of the many measures, Yang Kang doesn't care about the results of this debate, he just needs to find a basis for the past, he also issued an order to weaken the rights of the Song State's Great Sect Zhengsi, strengthen the management of the Zhao royal family of the Song State, and invite the princes from all over the country to Lin'an Imperial City to recuperate.

At this time, the main generals of the Song State either befriended Jia She, or joined forces with Meng Zongzheng, forming two military groups with related interests, if they wanted to grasp the military power, they had to subdue the Jia family and the Meng family, the Jia family was not a big problem, and the Meng family needed to spend a lot of effort to win over, Meng Zongzheng was stationed in Xiangyang City, which was the gateway to the Song State, and it must not be lost.

The Xie family controls internal affairs, and the Jia family controls military power, checking and balancing each other.

This is Yang Kang's plan, if Lou Shidao can help him best, but unfortunately Lou Shidao has been called the emperor and established the Ming Dynasty, which makes him very depressed, the reason why he is depressed is not because Lou Shidao can't come to give him advice, but the country name "Ming" was used by Lou Shidao, Yang Kang still wants to come out with a new country name, and he can't use the more fantasy country name of "Huaxia" and "Yanhuang".

When His Majesty was entangled in the name of the country, the war between the Song and Jin states was in full swing.

Emperor Wan Yanxu of the Jin State was indeed enraged, he did not hesitate to destroy the Song State regardless of a qiē, so he did not hesitate to transfer troops from Chang'an City, he thought that the newly established Ming State was withstanding the attack of the Mongols, and would not attack Jingzhao Mansion, but what he didn't expect was that when Lou Shidao heard that Chang'an City was empty, he sent a large army to attack Chang'an City and occupy a place in Shaanxi.

The 100,000 Mongolian army entered Hebei all the way and captured the central capital, and the documents of the war situation in various places made Wan Yan Xu anxious, and the death of King Rong Wan Yan Hongxi caused a great blow to the morale of the Jin [***] team, and all parts of the Jin country fought separately and did not belong to each other.

In the winter of 1222, the Mongol army led by Wokuotai approached the imperial city of Kaifeng, and after holding on for a month, the emperor of the Jin State had to abandon the imperial city of Kaifeng, and fled south, encountering the pursuit of the Song general Meng Xie on the way, so he fought all the way and fled to a small village on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In order to find food and accommodation for the emperor's majesty, the Jin soldiers looted and killed people in the village, and the whole village instantly became a hell on earth, at this time, an ugly-looking man suddenly rushed out from one side, this man held an iron fork in his hand, he danced all the way and rushed over, killing dozens of Jin soldiers one after another, rushed to the front of the Jin Emperor Wan Yanxu, raised his fork and stabbed down.

This person is the three-headed Jiaohou Tonghai who lives in seclusion in his hometown, Hou Sanye since he resigned from the post of the head of the forbidden army, he left Kaifeng City easily, returned to his hometown to support his mother, and relied on his considerable savings to live freely in the past few years, and did not go to the robber business again.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, he is drinking with his brother at home, when he was drunk, he heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, and after going out, he saw blood all over the ground, which aroused his blood surname that had been hidden for several years, so he lifted the iron fork beside him and killed the murderous golden soldier all the way over, and the drunken Third Master Hou did not know who he killed, he only felt that this killing was so painful, so he continued to kill.

In this way, the emperor of the Jin State Wan Yanxu died at the hands of the Hun Hou Tonghai, and the Jin State perished. (To be continued.) )
