Chapter 96 Major Events

In the direction Guo Ning was looking at, Sheng Wang Wanyan Congjia was thinking deeply.

From Wanyan Congjia's point of view, since the founding of Dajin, the conflict between the emperor and the clan has not ceased for a single day.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, Wanyan Zonghan got the court to set up a marshal's mansion to rule half of the country, and even interfered with the selection of the crown prince. Both Taizong and Xizong were deeply afraid of it; To cover the sky with one hand.

Later, Wan Yanliang killed the king and became self-reliant. In order to consolidate the imperial power, he massacred the clan, so that many famous families of the Wanyan family were exterminated.

Emperor Sejong relied on the power of the clan and aristocrats to launch a coup and overthrow Wan Yanliang. After he ascended the throne, he treated the clan a little bit more leniently.

When Emperor Zhangzong succeeded to the throne as the grandson of the emperor, the sons of Emperor Sejong were very dissatisfied with this, and the conflict between the two generations of clans rapidly intensified, and finally the rebellion of Zheng Wang Yongbao and Hao Wang Yongzhong broke out, which caused turmoil in the court. Many ministers in the hall were implicated.

But Emperor Zhang Zong counted thousands of times and ruled out all the clans he thought were untrustworthy, but in the end he was counted by the seemingly mediocre and benevolent Wanyan Yongji.

Emperor Zhangzong of the Ming Dynasty had an edict to use his unborn son as the reserve. As a result, his two concubines who were still pregnant died and had an abortion before his body was cold. Wanyan Yongji came to power proudly.

Wanyan Congjia was eager to learn since he was a child, and he was familiar with Han'er's history books. He only felt that since ancient times, the emperor and the clan had fought against each other and calculated fiercely, probably no more than this dynasty.

The reason is actually very simple. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the Dajin system was initially created, everything was careless, and we could only rely on the clan in every aspect. Later, the imperial system gradually improved, but the emperor's prestige was insufficient, and it was difficult to force the clan to transfer them. Get used to the power in your hands.

In this situation, if there was a slight turmoil in the court, the clans would blame the emperor for his incompetence and elect other people who they thought were available.

And once the available person in their eyes ascends the throne, if they want to make a difference, they must first turn their hands over and eradicate the clan that is hindered by many parties.

Just like this, generation after generation, it seems to be endless, and the elite of the clan and the vitality of the court are exhausted.

Wanyan understood this from Congjia a long time ago, so he tried his best to hide it to avoid getting involved in the chaos. Ever since Emperor Zhangzong sent him out and sentenced Yongding, Zhangde and other troops, he had not contacted the Zhongdu court for a full 20 years. Even if Wanyan Yongji blatantly disobeyed his promise to ascend the throne that day, he did not respond at all.

However, Wanyan Yongji is too incompetent, and he did a terrible job!
However, although I don't take the initiative to seek wealth and honor, wealth and honor force people to come!

However, Wanyan Gang and the clan and important ministers in the court are so kind, they insist on entrusting this heavy task to me!

Wanyan Congjia is already 50 years old. In his 50 years of life, he watched the situation with a cold eye and saw through a lot, so he had higher expectations for himself.His low-key, tenacious and meticulous way of handling affairs has also been secretly appreciated by many important court officials.

At this moment, Dajin was having a hard time coping with the rising Mongols, and Wanyan Yongji had acted improperly for two consecutive years.

That being the case, who can turn the tide, who is better than me?

The emperor's throne is right in front of him. These days, Wanyan Congjia often thinks of what he saw in Zhongdu, the magnificent palace, and the emperor's throne at the top of the palace overlooking everyone.The throne seems to exude magic power, which makes people think about it day and night, fascinated and unable to extricate themselves.

It has been five days since he was isolated to the west of Hejian Mansion, and during the five days, Wanyan Congjia hardly slept a single day.His patience has run out, and his tolerance for certain people in the court is at an end.

Look, there is smoke rising from the north, God knows what happened... Can't wait any longer, make a decision as soon as possible!
It's time to follow the example of Emperor Sejong and cut through the mess with a sharp and sharp method, and calm down the chaos in one fell swoop!
Wanyan Congjia stared at the low-lying city ahead, and asked impatiently, "Hasn't Pucha Ali arrived yet? What is he delaying on the way!"

Zhang Wei, the transfer envoy of West Hebei Road behind him, said cautiously: "Yesterday, the envoy reported that Marshal Pucha personally picked up five thousand fine riders. He has traveled day and night and passed Taihang. The time of arrival is not today, but tomorrow."

"Travel day and night? Are you still so slow? We are going to do something big, how can we be hesitant?" Wanyan Congjia snorted coldly: "Ziming! You immediately send someone to urge you! Tell him, don't worry about running away and killing a few horses!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly bowed: "Yes, yes!"

He faced Wanyan Congjia, took a few steps back, and hurriedly beckoned to his subordinates.

Zhang Wei was a Jinshi in Dading for 25 years, but he was not an orthodox Confucian scholar.After becoming an official, he first served as a military judge in Jiazhou, then moved to the central capital as a patrol officer for the left police, and after that, he served as a member of the transfer department, Wai Lang, and a transfer envoy for Tongzhi Xijing.When Taihe conquered the Song Dynasty, the imperial court summoned Zhang Wei back and asked him to plot various warehouses, except for the signing of the third secretary... In short, it was all trivial financial management chores.

No matter how well you do it, you won't get praise. Once something happens, you will be pushed out to top the tank immediately.

Previously, Xu governed the country and could treat practical ministers like him fairly. When Mr. Xu fell, Confucian officials from the court and the middle came to power one after another.

Zhang Wei is a person who is very passionate about his career, so of course he is dissatisfied with this, so he participated in this coup plot, intending to take a chance and seek political benefits for himself.

Zhang Wei knew that this time it was the bigwigs who really held power in the court who had taken a fancy to King Sheng and wanted to use him to replace the incompetent current emperor.But Zhang Wei had been in contact with King Sheng for several days, but he was vaguely worried that there was something wrong with the vision of the big bosses in the court.

Perhaps, they hope too much to usher in a newcomer who is different from the current emperor, so when choosing, they strive to have a different personality from the current emperor.

Compared with the weakness, gentleness and laziness of the current emperor, Sheng Wang's diligence and meticulousness are in stark contrast.

But would King Sheng's personality be too trivial?Too harsh?
Just like urging Pucha Ali, what's the point of urging him now?
Pucha Ali mobilized all the cavalry on the East Road, running at full speed regardless of the cost, and the marching speed was already as fast as lightning.Even if Zhang Wei sends someone to go, there is a high probability that he will arrive at the same time as Pucha Ali, and he will not be able to give the news of the king's promotion in advance.

However, since he has already boarded the ship, it is impossible to quit now.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to do what King Sheng said.

Wanyan Congjia didn't pay attention to Zhang Wei anymore, he turned to Wu Yan, the chief guard standing on the other side, and said in awe: "In the past few days, the thieves in this Pinglu village didn't dare to come to disturb, I think, It must be that their number is limited. When Pucha Ali brings people, you lead a thousand riders to surround the stockade, and Pucha Ali and I will cross directly and go to Hejian Mansion first to rest."

Wuyan Weike was inspecting the defense around the camp before.He was suddenly summoned to discuss the arrangements after crossing Pinglu Village, and he was a little at a loss.

But no one disliked the increase in their own strength. Wu Yanwei was very happy when he heard that he could get the command of a thousand cavalry, and bowed quickly.

As soon as he bowed down, he suddenly felt that there was a strange burning smell slowly rising from the lower place.

He sniffled and sniffed again. It smelled like a large piece of withered grass was ignited at the same time, and then added kerosene to help it burn?
Where is this on fire?

As soon as this idea came to mind, more than ten grass balls suddenly flew up in the ravines on both sides of the road.

Each of the grass balls was as big as two people hugging each other. When they were thrown in the air, they caught fire, and when they fell to the ground, they became fireballs erupting with flames!
The sergeants and militiamen in the camp were terrified immediately, and many of them retreated in a hurry, but were blocked by those behind them, so they pushed and jostled each other, making a mess.

Those fireballs continued to roll, and some people got on the fireballs and got stuck in the kerosene, so they yelled wildly and rolled on the ground.Some people fled quickly, but they let the vehicles piled up with grain and fodder to the front.

The fireball collided with the grain cart, and the flames suddenly rose to a height of two or three feet.And the smoke is everywhere.

"What are you doing in a daze! Put out the fire!" Wanyan Congjia yelled at Wuyan fearfully.

Among those supplies, Zhang Wei brought food to support Zhongdu to prepare soldiers, and Wanyan Congjia specially raised money to reward the officials after arriving in Zhongdu.That is the accumulation of decades for the prince and Jiedushi, it is not a small number!
Wanyan Congjia was extremely impatient at the moment.

Wu Yan has more experience in the battlefield, but he knows that it is definitely not a fire problem.

He pulled out his waist knife, raised it high and shouted: "There is an enemy coming! Everyone, don't panic, form an array!"

"Where is the enemy coming? Where is the enemy?" Wanyan Congjia retorted: "First put out the fire!"

At this moment, he saw Wuyan Weike opened his mouth wide, stared wide-eyed, showing a strange expression, and suddenly his body stopped moving.

Wanyan Congjia thought he was blinded by the smoke, so he rubbed it quickly and looked again.It turned out that it wasn't dizziness, but a long arrow shot from Wu Yan Wei Ke's mouth and came out from the back of his neck.

Wu Yanweike's eyeballs were still rolling, but blood gushed out of his mouth and the back of his neck like a fountain, dyeing most of his body bright red in the blink of an eye.

This is too sudden.

Wu Yanwei is not an ordinary head of guards, he is Wanyan Congjia's confidant, and once served as the deputy commander of the Central Capital!If Wanyan Congjia becomes the emperor as he wishes, Wuyan Weike will definitely be one of the few important generals in the court!

How did he die?Can you die so hastily?
Wanyan yelled twice from Congjia, then squatted down abruptly, avoiding a shower of arrows.

He looked back, only to see entire rows of troops suddenly appearing out of the smoke.

In the middle of the army are infantry soldiers, all of whom hold shields obliquely, and the shields are connected into one piece, like the Great Wall.From the gap between the shields, iron spears and spears protruded out, flashing cold light.

The soldiers rushed out from the ravines and the smoke, maintaining a neat formation and order.

And on both sides of the soldiers, there are red flags flying to lead.The cavalry in full armor and belts spread their wings, silently urging their horses forward and outflanking them.

"Be careful! Be careful!" Someone shouted in the queue: "Have you seen that thin man in brocade robe? He is an important person, catch him quickly!"

　Note: Wu Yan Wei Ke, a native of Meng'an, Long'an Road.Replenish the relatives, serve as guards, remove the judge of Yidu General Manager's Mansion, the commander of Zhongdu Military and Horse Deputy Capital, and the tired officials Huizhou Governor.At the beginning of Zhenyou, he was the general of Zuowei, the commander of Gongwei Zhidu, the deputy commander of Shandong army, and the Jiedu envoy of Anhua army.The local thieves use Jiuxian Mountain as their lair, fearing that they will not attack the crowd, and the thieves will become more and more fierce... Xingding four years later, he changed to Taiding Army.It was the fifth month of the year, and Gunzhou was broken and died.

This one still has a lot of roles in the outline, but I can't get rid of my old habits, and I started slipping... Forget it, let's die!There is no shortage of one or two people!
