The rise of the prince

Chapter 717
"Your Majesty, that's what he really did." The messenger kept gesticulating, vividly describing his miserable experience in the north, Wanyan Zongbi's bad attitude towards him, and his slander and cursing towards the Emperor, but only omitted the later courtesy, He explained to the emperor himself what Wanyan Zongbi said.

Wan Yanli began to hesitate, he kept pacing in the Golden Luan Hall, but he didn't say anything or draw any conclusions.

The Messenger has a point in saying this.

The name of the messenger was Wulinhuang. The Wulin family and the Wanyan family were both one of the four Jurchen families, and they had great influence. Therefore, there were many people from the Wulin family in the court of the Kingdom of Jin. Moreover, after the new emperor Wanyanli ascended the throne, In order to win over the Wulin family, he even married his sister, Princess Wei Wanyan Yingge, to the new patriarch of the Wulin family, who was also Wulinhuang's uncle.

And he was also an official saved by Zhongshu Province in the court. Although he was idle, he was in a high position and had no worries about food and clothing.

But the other families have long coveted the military power in the hands of the Wanyan family, and most of the military power of the Wanyan family is now in the hands of the emperor's most trusted younger brother.

Wanyan Zongbi, the first emperor personally issued a decree that "you can be crowned the king of Liao, the second emperor, and the next generation will not be able to re-entitle you." Seven are in his hands, and they are all veterans and elite soldiers brought from Liaodong, who fought in the South and North.

When Wanyan Wugunai was alive, no one dared to move them, but now that Wanyan Wugunai has passed away, the country of Jin is stable, and several big families in the Jurchens are beginning to move around. The Kingdom of Jin is not the credit of the Wanyan family. Children from all ethnic groups participated in the war and shed blood. Why should the Wanyan family be superior and they must obey the orders of the Wanyan family?
Because of the authority of the former emperor, they dare not usurp the throne, but it is everyone's intention to seize more power.

Therefore, they took the first step, first of all, to send away the eldest princess Wanyan Yingge.

Because many people have discovered that since Wanyan Yingge went to the Central Plains with Liu Xu, she seems to have become smarter and calmer, unlike the tough woman who was only at the front before, she was calmer, wiser, and began to use Thinking about the problem with her head, if she is by the emperor's side, it will undoubtedly be a big trouble.

So Wu Linhuang and the other nobles who removed He Shilie proposed to the emperor to marry the eldest princess to the new head of the Wulin tribe.

Heshilie is also one of the four Jurchen clans, but the Heshilie tribe has always been loyal to the Wanyan family, and many heroes of the Wanyan family are from the Heshilie clan.

Everyone said that most of the Wulin tribe was actually bigger than Wanyan. Many soldiers in the Jin army were from the Wulin tribe. Only by winning over the Wulin tribe could the new emperor's rule be consolidated.

Wanyanli was really tempted. The new emperor ascended the throne. He was most afraid of dissatisfaction and unstable rule. The new patriarch of the Wulin tribe was older than his father and was a figure of their uncle's generation. But if it is beneficial to his throne, the It is also possible for my sister to marry in the past.

In the end, for his own status, Wan Yanli made his first major decision after assuming the throne, marrying his elder sister in her early twenties to the 56-year-old new patriarch of the Wulin tribe.

Such marriages are not uncommon among high-ranking nobles. For example, Genghis Khan once married his third daughter to Khan Wanggubu, who was dozens of years older than her. In order to maintain a relationship, women are often just tools no matter how noble they are.

So no one objected at this time, Wan Yanli did not dare to tell her elder sister that the old eunuchs should go.

The eunuch was so frightened that he was about to cry. The eldest princess was a princess on horseback. The eunuch was afraid that she would kill someone in a fit of anger, but he didn't dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he cried to tell the news.

Unexpectedly, after Wanyan Yingge heard the news, she just remained silent for a long time. She didn't cry, scold, kill, or say a single unnecessary word. She quietly and gracefully accepted her inescapable fate. She knows it herself.

Since the trip to the Central Plains, the eldest princess has changed a lot.

"Wu Linhuang, are you talking nonsense and slandering my uncle?" In the Jinluan Hall of Shangjing, Wan Yanli paced around for a long time, only uttering such a feeble sentence.

"Your Majesty, what the villain said is absolutely true, and none of it is lying to you!"

"Uncle Huang has a bad temper, but he won't say such outrageous things, no." Wan Yanli's eyes flickered and he shook his head repeatedly.

Wu Linhuang said in a low voice: "Your majesty, it is precisely because you are the uncle of the emperor that you are so brave."

"What do you mean!" Wan Yanli turned around, with a fierce look on his face.

Wu Linhuang hurriedly lowered his head, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please listen to me, please be sure to listen to me!
Wanyan Zongbi, he is the emperor's uncle, and he is also the king of Liao who was conferred by the previous emperor. He also said that in the future, he can no longer be granted the title of king of heaven, and that six out of ten of the Jin Kingdom's army is in his hands, and they are all elite soldiers.
Today he disrespected the imperial edict and insulted the emperor, what about tomorrow?What if the emperor disagrees with him? If there is a conflict, the emperor will mobilize the remaining soldiers of my Daikin, and it will also be like hitting a stone with an egg! "

After Wu Linhuang said these words tremblingly, he knelt on the ground with a common sound, kowtowed one after another, and carefully raised his head to look at the young emperor.

The young emperor turned his back to him, and did not speak for a long time. Wu Linhuang was worried and did not dare to breathe. His life and death depended on the young emperor's thought, but if he won the bet, there was a high probability that Wanyan Zongbi would be pulled dismount!
At that time, his military power will be that of the Jurchen clans!More power will be held by the Wulin tribe.
He waited quietly, his hands and thighs trembling involuntarily, unable to hold on.

After a long silence, the young Jin Emperor suddenly said: "Then what should I do?" The silence was broken in an instant.

Wu Linhuang took a deep breath and almost burst into tears. He knew that he had made the right bet, so he quickly raised his head tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious national disaster, and it should be eliminated as soon as possible. The sooner arrangements are made, the sooner preparations are made, the better!"

"I ask you what to do!" Wan Yanli said loudly.

"Yes yes yes" Wu Linhuang quickly knelt and moved forward a few steps, "Your Majesty, the villain thinks now is the best time! Wanyan Zongbi is outside, and when the Tatars are finished, it is almost the New Year (Jurchen also celebrates the lunar calendar) year), the emperor deliberately ordered him to come back to reunite with the royal family, and then took the opportunity to put him under house arrest.

Then the emperor can arrange his confidants to take over the army. In this way, the army will fall into the hands of the emperor! "

Wanyanli didn't speak, as if he was still thinking about it, Wulinhuang didn't say a word, and the hall became quiet again.

"Who do you think can take over the army?"

The corner of Wu Linhuang's mouth turned up, and he immediately covered it up, "Of course he is someone trusted by the emperor!"
