The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 507
Wanyan Aguda leaned back on the chair, and replied, "If you want to continue to cooperate with the Song Kingdom, how can you give up halfway?"

After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then said with a sneer, "No matter who wrote this matter, the purpose is very simple, it is nothing more than trying to destroy the alliance between Dajin and Song, but the more this is the case, I will To facilitate this."

Wanyan Zongbi gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there any object of suspicion in my father's heart?"

"Before there is no real evidence, everything is just speculation. After all, there are not a few forces with motives to do this. In addition to the Liao people, barbarians from the grasslands, Xixia people, and even Song people are also possible?"

Wanyan Aguda pondered for a moment before giving his answer.

Wanyan Zong asked curiously, "Song people, aren't they feuding with the Khitan people? Besides, this matter is of great benefit to them, why bother to destroy it?"

Before Wanyan Aguda could answer, Wanyan Zongfu said, "This statement is wrong. How can there be a family feud that has lived in peace for nearly a hundred years? The Song Kingdom has a vast land, rich resources, and a large population. I am afraid that there are many people with insight. How can these people not see it? Let the Liao Kingdom and our Dajin stalemate, benefit the Song Kingdom?
Speaking of which, we would like to thank Yelu Yanxi this time. If it hadn't been for the fact that he failed to attack Yundi first, and then showed his intention to recover Yanji, Song Guo might not be willing to cooperate with me, Dajin.Father, is your son's opinion correct? "

After hearing what the third son said, Wanyan Aguda showed a satisfied expression on his face, and he couldn't help but praise, "My son's words are not bad!"

After all, Wanyan Aguda suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he cried out inwardly, so he hurriedly looked at his brothers and sons below, and saw dissatisfaction on the faces of several people.

Why do you think?It turns out that Wanyan Aguda's body has become weaker and weaker since he occupied Liaozhongjing, and he has signs of dying soon.

However, at this time, the Kingdom of Jin had transformed from a half-fishing and half-nomadic nation into a normal country, so a complete inheritance system had not been established.

According to the customs of the former Jurchen tribe, after Wanyan Aguda died, his younger brother Wanyan Wu should beg to succeed him.But according to the rules of a country, the eldest son should inherit the throne.

But there is also a contradiction here, that is, the issue of concubines is involved.In terms of elder and younger, Wanyan Zongqian should be the heir, but he, Wanyan Zongfu, Zongbi and other brothers are all concubines, and the real eldest son is their fifth younger brother Wanyan Zongjun.

As a result, the battles between uncles, nephews, and brothers continued to intensify over the succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Aguda, as the hero of a generation, of course sees this matter clearly, but as the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs, so he is still undecided now.

Speaking from his heart, Wanyan Aguda definitely hopes to pass the throne to his son, but he cannot ignore the feelings of his younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai, especially Wu Qimai has made a lot of contributions during the establishment of Daikin. There are many supporters in the family.

Even if he takes a step back, putting the heir over his younger brother Wu Qimai and placing it on his own son's head is also a difficult problem for Wanyan Aguda.

It's just because none of his older sons are fuel-efficient lamps, and all of them are good at fighting. Whichever one is established will make the rest of them dissatisfied. saw.

Sure enough, just as Wanyan Aguda expected, Wanyan Zonggan jumped out of the egg and said, "Third brother, do you think too highly of Song people? Will you just sit back and watch us destroy the Liao Kingdom?"

Wanyan Zongwang echoed, "Brother, that's right, I heard that the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty are cowardly and shameless, if they are really far-sighted, they should understand the truth.

If I were the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I would choose to support the Liao Kingdom. Wouldn't it be beautiful to let the Khitan people compete with my great golden dragon and watch the tiger fight by myself! "

Hearing that Wanyan Zongwang compared himself to the emperor, Wanyan Aguda could no longer suppress the evil fire in his chest, and scolded sharply, "You bastard! Why don't you say that you are my Dajin Emperor? Do you think my old bone is in your way? gone?"

Wanyan Zongwang also realized at this time that he was a little carried away, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty to Wanyan Aguda.

"Father, the emperor clearly learned, my son is only talking indiscriminately for a while, how dare he have such a rebellious heart. My son only hopes that the father is in good health and can always be by his knees."

The rest of the people knelt down when they saw Yan Zongwang, so naturally they didn't dare to stand aside and watch the play, so they knelt down one after another to apologize.

"Hmph, I know exactly what you think, and I don't want to care about it on weekdays. But you have to remember, as long as I don't die for a day, put away your own small thoughts, don't let the foreign enemies die, and your family will be safe." Let's keep fighting!"

Taking advantage of Wanyan Zongwang's slip of the tongue, Wanyan Aguda beat up all his brothers and nephews before ordering them to follow the previous order.

……

At the foot of Jiashan Mountain (now Yinshan Mountain, Inner Mongolia), there is an endless stretch of tents lined up here, which is where the camp of the motley army raised by Yeluyan is located.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Yelu Yanxi ushered in an old man. This person was none other than the famous Yelu Dashi.

It is said that since Yeluchun came to Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi has been completely disappointed with him, and he has been thinking about the strategy of restoring the country every day. Later, he found helplessly that this wish may have to fall on Yelu Yanxi.

But if he went to vote for Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Dashi was worried that he would lose his life in vain. He had offended Yelu Yanxi a long time ago when he explicitly supported Yelu Chun to proclaim himself emperor.

With Yelu Yanxi's viciousness to kill even his son, he probably wouldn't even bat an eye to kill his small clan.

If it wasn't for having no choice, Yelu Dashi would look down on Yelu Yanxi, the faint king, from the bottom of his heart.

How stupid is Yelu Yanxi?Let's just describe it like this, since the day he became the emperor of Daliao, he spent most of these years hunting around, and the rest of the time was spent dreaming and dying.

This is really not nonsense. If you open the "History of Liao Dynasty: The Chronicle of Emperor Tianzuo", you will find that the most recorded text of Emperor Tianzuo is the word "hunting". .

If people who don't know the bibliography read it, they might think it's the book of hunters.

If Zhao Ji's career is an artist, then Yelu Yanxi's career is a hunter.It's also a coincidence that these two succeeded to the throne both front and back, and the subjugation of the country was also both front and back, and they even became neighbors in Wuguo City in the end.

It can be said that they were brilliant for a while, and they used their incompetence to achieve the great achievements of Wanyan Aguda and forge the Jin Kingdom for more than a hundred years.

Let's ignore Zhao Ji's absurdities for the time being, and specifically talk about the stupid things Yelu Yanxi did.

Speaking of the stupid things Yelu Yanxi did, the first thing is to force the Jurchens.

Some people may say that with the momentum of the Jurchens, even without Yelu Yanxi, they will still rebel in the future.

This statement is true, but no one can deny that the appearance of Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, has virtually accelerated this process.

Because judging from the situation when Wanyan Agu started fighting, the power balance between Liao and Jin at that time could be said to be very different, but no one would take such a risk unless they were desperate.

If it hadn't been forced by Yelu Yanxi, Wanyan Aguda might not have raised the flag of rebellion at that time, and it is entirely possible that he would continue to accumulate strength in secret and wait for the time when the time comes.

How did Yelu Yanxi persecute the Jurchens?This starts with this guy's hobbies. Because he loves hunting, he loves hounds, sea dongqing and other animals that can help him hunt.

As we all know, Hai Dongqing came from the Changbai Mountain area of ​​the Jurchen tribe, so since Yelu Yanxi succeeded to the throne, he sent envoys to the Jurchen gathering place every year to order the Jurchens to pay tribute to Hai Dongqing.

Because these messengers generally wear silver medals, they are also called silver medal angels.

The problem lies precisely with these silver medal angels. Whenever they go to the Jurchen tribe, they will buy cheap and sell expensive, and even openly rob.

Not only that, wherever the silver angels went, they also asked the Jurchens to provide women to accompany them.

Faced with this kind of humiliation, the situation was threatening at first, and the Jurchens had no choice but to send slaves or daughters who had left households to serve these Liao masters.

However, how can children from slave families, or children from common people's families, satisfy these envoys who have seen the world in terms of appearance, speech and behavior?

So slowly, the silver medal angels asked the Jurchen nobles for their own girls, and even forced the wives of the tribal leaders to stay with them.

It can be said that these silver medal angels are in the territory of the Jurchens, and they are extorting money, raping and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.

That is to say, when the Jurchen couldn't bear it, Yelu Yanxi forced Wanyan Agu to dance for fun, and finally let him raise his troops to rebel. Not to mention the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, he also beat the Liao people to the ground, almost destroying the country and extinction .

At this time, Yelu Yanxi still didn't think about repenting, and sent troops to suppress it at the beginning. Later, seeing that the Jurchens were unstoppable, this dignified emperor abandoned his subjects and only went for escape.

He ordered the officials of the Liao Kingdom to prepare a thousand horses that could run hundreds of miles a day, and packed up the gold and silver treasures in the palace, put five hundred bags and hung them on the horse, and was ready to leave the large army and escape alone at any time. .

If you say you run away, run away, then you should keep a low profile, but Yelu Yanxi doesn't, this guy made this matter aroused, and even told people some unreasonable things.

He said that the Jurchens were too cruel and would slaughter the city when they encountered resistance. Out of love for the people, he chose not to resist Yunyun.

This coquettish operation, it is estimated that the later Emperor Yongli of the Nanming Dynasty will be willing to bow down and call him an expert when he sees it.

With such an escaped emperor as an example, the officials and soldiers below will not be able to follow suit.

The Jurchens were brave, but without Yelu Yanxi's help, they would have absolutely no chance of destroying the Liao Kingdom within a few years.

But the absurdity of Yelu Yanxi didn't stop there. Before he conquered Jurchen himself, there was such a small episode that led to the split of the Liao Kingdom.

But Yelu Yanxi had a concubine named Xiao Sesel, who was titled Concubine Wen. This woman is not only a talented woman, but also extremely virtuous.

When she saw that her husband, Emperor Tianzuo, was disrespectful and his loyal officials were dismissed, she wrote a poem to warn her. The poem reads like this:

The prime minister came to court, and the sword was ringing, and the thousand officials looked sideways, and there was silence.It's too late to develop foreign troubles!The punishment for loyal ministers is unknown.Relatives live side by side in the feudal lord's seat, and the private family hides the beasts and minions.Poor Emperor Qin of the past generation, still looking forward to peace in the palace.

There is another saying in the last two sentences, "Poor Emperor Qin II, who still looks at peace in the palace", that is to say, Emperor Tianzuo is compared to Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, and Xiao Fengxian, who encourages the king to hunt, is compared to Zhao Gao, who regards a deer as a horse.

As soon as Xiao Sesu's poem came out, he immediately offended the two most powerful people in the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Yanxi still thought about the relationship between husband and wife for many years, but Xiao Sesel was left out in the cold since then, but Xiao Feng quit first, and this guy was deliberately planning to put Xiao Sesel to death.

When it comes to the reason, the poems are only the inducement, and the fundamental reason is involved in the dispute between the heirs of the Liao Kingdom.

At that time, within the Liao Kingdom, King Jin was the most popular candidate for the heir apparent. The whole court sincerely hoped that Yelu Yanxi would pass away as soon as possible, and the wise King Jin would be enthroned as emperor, which would revive the country.

This King Jin's biological mother was none other than Concubine Wen Xiao Sesu.And Xiao Fengxian was also one of Yelu Yanxi's brothers-in-law, and the candidate he supported was his own nephew King Qin.

So, Xiao Fengxian was originally the enemy of Xiao Sesel's mother and son. If he was asked to grasp Xiao Sesel's handle this time, how could he let it go?

This guy first ordered people to spread rumors secretly to ruin Xiao Sesel's reputation, and then he went off in person, splashing dirty water on him, saying that Xiao Sesel was going to join her brother-in-law Xiao Yu and brother-in-law Yelu Yujian in an attempt to abolish Emperor Tianzuo and change the establishment Jin Wang is the emperor.

Yelu Yanxi really listened to Xiao Fengxian's slander, and adopted his idea of ​​striking first.He first ordered Xiao Sesu to be killed, then killed Xiao Sesu's brother-in-law Xiao Yu, and then planned to attack Yeluyu.

This Yeluyu's identity is not simple. Apart from being the clan of the Liao Kingdom and Xiao Sesel's brother-in-law, he was also a rare famous general in the Liao Kingdom at that time.

After he got the news, he didn't want to sit still, so he simply surrendered Wanyan Aguda without doing anything else.

The time when this incident happened was just before Yelu Yanxi personally conquered Jurchen. You can imagine how ecstatic Wanyan Aguda was at that time. pioneer.

At such a situation, it stands to reason that Yelu Yanxi should calm down a bit, but how did he do it? He once again believed Xiao Fengxian's nonsense, thinking that Yelu Yujian came to help King Jin win the throne with a golden soldier , He even killed the popular King Jin.

As soon as the news came out, all insightful people inside and outside the court of the Liao Kingdom cried bitterly. Since then, the hearts of the people have collapsed and there is no possibility of recovery.

With all the things Yelu Yanxi did before him, Yelu Dashi didn't want to come to see him even if he was beaten to death.

But at this time, at that time, now that Yeluchun descended to the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Kingdom united with the Song Dynasty, Yelu Dashi worried that if Yelu Yanxi was wiped out, the Liao Kingdom would never be able to restore the country, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come here , hoping to assist Yelu Yanxi to turn things around.
