The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 458 Chapter 458 Killing the Empress Dowager
A group of courtiers from the Kingdom of Jin came out of the hall. This time, they did not rush back as before, but gathered together in groups of three or five.

"General, please stop!" Seeing Wan Yanchang coming out of the hall, the courtiers waiting outside immediately stopped him.

Wan Yanchang looked at the courtiers in front of him, at this moment he naturally understood what they wanted to say, smiled wryly, and said, "My lords, what's the matter?"

Tai Qi walked to the front. As the Privy Council envoy, he was also the person who had the closest relationship with Wan Yanchang, so all the courtiers elected him as their representative.

"General, now Your Majesty is planning to use troops against the Song Dynasty again. I wonder what the general thinks about this matter?" Tai Qi asked tentatively.

Wan Yanchang cursed inwardly that the old fox wanted to set him up, he shook his head, and said: "As your majesty has already decided, we, as courtiers, should naturally follow your majesty's opinion."

Hearing what Wan Yanchang said, Tai Qi secretly scolded Wan Yanchang for being cunning and not telling the truth. At this time, he said: "General, this statement is wrong. We eat the king's salary, so naturally we should share your worries. If The decision made by His Majesty is wrong, we, as subjects, should advise His Majesty."

Wan Yanchang sneered in his heart, the tragedy of Xuejin's blood spilling just now is still vivid in his memory, but this group of people want him to be the first bird again, isn't this letting him die?
Thinking of this, Wan Yanchang smiled, and said to Tai Qi: "Does Master Liu think that this decision made by His Majesty was wrong?" Wan Yanchang asked back.

"General, you have just experienced two disastrous defeats against the Song Dynasty. There is a serious shortage of troops. Although a large number of new recruits have been recruited, the recruits have no experience in fighting the enemy. At this time, rashly using troops against the Song Dynasty is not A wise decision!" Tai Qi said to Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang stared at Tai Qi in front of him, and said, "I believe His Majesty will consider this point."

Seeing that Wan Yanchang was not moved by him at all, Tai Qi was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "General, our Dajin Kingdom has just experienced this civil strife. At this time, everything is waiting to be done, and it is the key to resume production. Time is really not suitable for fighting against Song."

Wan Yanchang looked at Tai Qi in front of him, shook his head, and said: "Lord Tai Qi, in the current situation, His Majesty has already made a decision. We, as subjects, can only implement it at this time."

Tai Qi hurriedly said to Wan Yanchang: "General, what you said is wrong. If we don't persuade at this time, what if this battle fails again?"

Wan Yanchang frowned when he heard what Tai Qi said, and said, "Master Tai Qi, be careful!"

Tai Qi was also anxious at this time, and said: "My lord, don't forget that it will be you, the general, who will lead the troops to fight at that time."

After saying this sentence, Yan Chang is also clever, that's right, there are no decent generals in the court now, and when the time comes to fight against the Song Dynasty, he will be the one who leads the troops.

Thinking of this, Wan Yanchang frowned, and said to Taiqi: "Master Taiqi, you have seen His Majesty's attitude just now, it is absolutely impossible for us courtiers to persuade you thing."

After hearing what Wan Yanchang said, Tai Qi agreed in his heart very much. There was a royal doctor whose blood was spattered on the spot because of his persuasion. Who would risk his life to rush forward at this time.

"What does the general mean?" Tai Qi looked at Wan Yanchang and asked softly.

Wan Yanchang leaned in front of Tai Qi, and said softly: "Master Tai Qi, at this time, it may be difficult for us outsiders to understand His Majesty's thoughts. In my opinion, it is better to ask His Majesty's family to persuade him."

When Tai Qi heard what Wan Yanchang said, he nodded in a sudden realization, yes, why didn't they think of this.

Everyone made up their minds and planned to go to the Empress Dowager Shan Yu to come forward to make peace. The emperor is the god of the Dajin Kingdom, but the empress dowager is the emperor's mother. The emperor will not disobey his mother's words.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with going to the Queen Mother for this matter, but the key point is that the current Empress Dowager Shan Yu is not Wan Yanliang's biological mother.

Although Wanyan Liang was the eldest son, he was not the eldest son. Wanyan Liang's mother was just a concubine of Wanyan Aguda. At that time, Wanyan Aguda didn't love Wanyan Liang's mother very much. Among them, his mother had been bullied by the then empress Shan Yushi, so Wanyan Liang felt very resentful towards Shan Yushi in his heart. Even Wan Yanliang's mother died of illness, Wan Yanliang felt that this matter It is inseparable from Shan Yushi.

Now Tai Qi and other courtiers from the Kingdom of Jin came to Shan Yushi for help, asking Shan Yushi to come forward to help intercede, so that Wan Yanliang would give up attacking Song Kingdom at this time.

"Empress Dowager, in the current situation, we courtiers dare not plead with His Majesty at all. Your Majesty is now focused on attacking the Song Dynasty, but the current situation in our Dajin Kingdom is clear to you, Empress Dowager. It is really a waste of time. , I really can't stand such a toss from His Majesty." Tai Qi knelt in front of Shan Yushi and said with a sad face.

The Shan Yu family is definitely a well-known family in the Kingdom of Jin. The Shan Yu family is the biological mother of Jin Xizong Wanyan Quan. She has been the empress dowager for a while. It can be said that she has always been in the habit of being pampered over the years. In his words, even Wanyan Wuqi at that time would have to sell his face to buy it, so when a group of courtiers came to plead with her, the empress dowager agreed without any hesitation.

"There is still such a thing, don't worry, I will do this matter. Although he is the emperor, he will still listen to my words. I can't just watch him make mistakes and watch me. The Great Jin Kingdom is in decline under his hands." Shan Yu was also used to the posture of being in a high position, and at this time he thought that Wan Yanliang was still a child born of that concubine.

Therefore, the Shan Yu clan issued a decree, strictly prohibiting Wan Yanliang from sending troops to the Song Dynasty.

When Wan Yanliang saw the edict issued by Shan Yushi, he went mad on the spot, tore the edict of Shan Yushi to pieces, and said through gritted teeth: "I've been thinking about finding an excuse for a long time. I haven't found a chance to clean you up, but I didn't expect you to come here on my own initiative, so don't blame me for being rude, there is a way to heaven if you don't leave, and there is no way to hell for you to break in!"
