One Piece of Song Dynasty

Yu Wenxuzhong watched from the sidelines, secretly hiding his anxiety. Wan Yanchang approached Jin Xizong and looked at him carefully: "It's appropriate for Duke Zhou to become the king. His Majesty has grown a beard. He has grown a beard at just a few years old."

"I am twenty-one years old this year and have been on the throne for four years. Shouldn't I grow a beard?" Kim Xizong asked suppressing his displeasure. Wan Yanchang laughed loudly and strode out with his back on his back: "I should keep it, but it looks good if I keep it. Okay, the mountains never get too high and the sea never gets too deep. The Duke of Zhou will spit out his milk and the world will be united."

"Yu Wenxu made King Cheng kill Duke Zhao. What can I say about Duke Zhou?" Jin Xizong raised his head and looked at Wan Yanchang's back, pouting his new mustache in anger. Yu Wenxu was shocked and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The Duke of Zhou assisted King Cheng in ascending the throne, appointed himself as regent, and finally returned the power to King Cheng, so Confucius called Duke Zhou a saint."

"If King Cheng kills Duke Zhao, what can I say about Duke Zhou?" Jin Xizong continued to ask him aggressively. Yu Wenxuzhong had to answer: "King Cheng wants to kill Duke Zhao. How dare Duke Zhou say that he doesn't know? This statement comes from Kong Rong of the Three Kingdoms, but it is actually a satire on Cao Cao."

"In my opinion, for the sake of the country and the country, even if Duke Zhou really kills his brother, he can't be wrong." Jin Xizong raised his head, his eyes suddenly sharpened. Yu Wenxuzhong was horrified under his glare: "Xuzhong dares to ask your Majesty to make it clear, is it possible that Your Majesty wants to kill the royal family to stabilize the country?"

"Nine years ago, the struggle between the government and the opposition to establish a crown prince was extremely fierce. In the end, they appointed me. Why is it because I am the eldest son and grandson of Taizu Wanyan Aguda? Because I was as old as King Cheng at that time, and we were also twelve years old."

"Your Majesty is saying that someone is controlling the young master today with evil intentions."

"This person is Wan Yanchang and his accomplices." Jin Xizong made no secret of his murderous intentions. Yu Wenxu secretly thought, doesn't he know that I am Wan Yanchang's accomplice? Since he knew it, he revealed such important information to me so nakedly, and why did he think and respond at the same time: "Your Majesty wants to kill Wan Yanchang excused me to speak frankly, seeing that Your Majesty loves Confucianism, I thought that Your Majesty "

"It's true that I like Confucianism. Why do you think I like Confucianism? To put it bluntly, it can be just four words: monarch, minister, father and son." Seeing Yu Wenxu's confusion, Jin Xizong continued, "After my Taizu, the ministers did not establish the crown prince, but established Taizu's brothers as Taizong. , after Taizong, he did not establish a prince, but the grandson of the great ancestor, that is, I. The prince may not necessarily become the emperor, which is a stereotype of the Jurchen tribe. The emperor of Jin Dynasty was recommended by the ministers and elders, so I do not have the absolute authority like the emperor of Song Dynasty. . The highly centralized monarchy and hereditary system of the Song Dynasty make me envious. If I want to become the emperor of China, I must get rid of the shackles of my uncles and uncles."

"I understand, but what excuse did your Majesty use to kill Wan Yanchang?" Yu Wenxuzhong tested Jin Xizong in horror. The latter replied: "The peace agreement has been signed for half a year. The Song Dynasty has never mentioned the issue of tribute coins. Moreover, even if Wan Yanchang didn't know about the Shuixianju incident, he must have revealed a lot of my Da Jin's secrets. Wan Yanchang betrayed Da Jin." Jin Yili is a spy of the Song Dynasty."

Yu Wenxuzhong was horrified and said: "Your Majesty, are you going to break the treaty with the Song Dynasty?"

Jin Xizong asked: "If we don't break the contract with Song Dynasty, how can we attack the Wanyanchang monarchy and how can we implement it?"

Yu Wenxuzhong asked: "Your Majesty's purpose is to enforce the monarchy."

Jin Xizong nodded and said: "Without bloodshed, the law cannot be changed. Although Wan Yanchang is powerful, I have the Wushu of the Four Emperors. In the future, the only way to save the country is Wushu."

After hearing this, Yu Wenxuzhong almost fainted and told Wan Yanchang the news overnight. He also believed that the emperor told him such a secret just to ask him to tell the truth, so as to anger Wan Yanchang and force him to rebel. However, Wan Yanchang thought that since he was operating in Qizhou in a weather-proof manner and had a large number of troops, they would not dare to touch him yet. He could only wait for Wang Lun to arrive and immediately take Empress Dowager Wei and Huizong Qinzong's coffin back to Jiangnan, and he would be fine. I am worthy of my wife and Song Guo.

"His Royal Highness has contributed greatly to the peace between the north and the south. His merits and deeds over the past thousand years will be commented upon by future generations." Yu Wenxuzhong knew that they were not far from saying goodbye forever. Yu Wenxu stared at Wan Yanchang, bowed deeply to him, then turned around and went out. When Wan Yanchang sent him out, he saw a strong wind and no light from the stars and moon. Sure enough, a storm was brewing.

At this time, someone came to report that Wu Shu had suddenly returned to Beijing and asked him to discuss important matters. Wan Yanchang walked into the inner room uneasily, hung up his sword, and followed others to the Marshal's Mansion in the dark. As soon as I entered the gate, I saw four blood-stained corpses lying under the flickering lights. Wanyanchang picked up the candlestick and leaned over to identify them one by one by the candlelight. He saw the corpses of the four princes Zongpan of Song, Zongjun of Yan, Zongying of Yu, and Zongwei of Teng lying on the ground.

Who is this bold enough to kill four princes and nobles in one go? Wan Yanchang couldn't help but stand on end. He suddenly drew his sword and turned around, only to see that the surroundings were suddenly brightly lit, ambushes were everywhere, and several sharp steel knives were crossed at him. neck. Wan Yanchang looked up and saw Wu Shu sitting high, and calmed down: "What is Wu Shu doing?"

"The Prince of the DPRK rebelled and was killed by my decree. King Lun of the Song Dynasty was also detained by me. The incident of Shuixianju being a spy of the Song Dynasty all involves you, King Lu." Wu Shu stood up and walked over. Wan Yanchang held the handle of the knife tightly: "I am the eldest son of Muzong and the emperor's uncle, what do you dare to do to me?"

"Whoever dies is not a prince. Don't worry, you won't die. The emperor's uncle has made great contributions. The emperor will not ask any questions and appoint you as the left prime minister of Yanjing. Uncle, please go to Yanjing and take office." Before Wu Shu could finish his words, Wan Yanchang He was already furious: "The right prime minister of Yanjing is Du Chong, a surrendered minister of the Song Dynasty. I am the founding father of the country. Why should I be associated with Wushu, a surrendered slave? Do you want to take away my military power?"

"I am acting under orders, why should I seize military power?" Wu Shu signaled his soldiers to let him go. Wan Yanchang sneered and returned the sword to its sheath: "Transferring me from Qizhou to Yanjing is not only taking away my military power. Secondly, according to the laws of our Jin Kingdom, when troops are withdrawn, the military power rests with the emperor, and when using troops, the military power rests with the marshal. .You killed all the clan ministers because you wanted to seize military power and start a war."

"Talan, you ceded my land of Dajin to the Song Dynasty for no reason. You must have surrendered to the Song Dynasty long ago. Your death is not far away. What else can you say?" Wu Shu shouted with eyes wide open. Wan Yanchang looked at him, then looked at the corpses on the ground, stamped his feet helplessly, and left in a hurry.

In July of the th year of Jianyan's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Xizong worshiped Wu Shu as the marshal of the Jin Kingdom and was granted the title of King of Yue. Wushu was ordered to kill the nobles who were in rebellion. From then on, he became more powerful and took charge of both the internal and external affairs. The Jin Kingdom began to implement the national policy of war again.

Let's talk about Wan Yanchang. He had not arrived in Yanjing for a month before he conspired to revolt and wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the news was leaked and Wu Shu killed two conspirator princes. Wan Yanchang was so frightened that he hurriedly took Empress Dowager Wei and Wan Yanchang with him. Yan Nan, Wanyan Odai and Queen Xing rushed to Qizhou, while Wu Shu followed closely and chased them all the way.
