As winter turned to spring, Yang Kang recovered from his illness for more than two months, and it was only after the New Year that he got better.

People who learn martial arts rarely fall ill, but once they do, they will be in trouble. During this period, Bao Xiruo felt very distressed and kept complaining that he didn't know how to take care of his body. Even Hua Zheng, who had always been hostile to Yang Kang, often came to visit him.

There were only two children with equal status in the palace. The servants' children did not dare to play with Hua Zheng. Hua Zheng was young and gradually forgot the past events. With Bao Xiruo's efforts, he began to integrate into the life of the palace.

among.

Yang Kang looked at this little girl who was slowly becoming more elegant and sensible, and thought that she was indeed an environmental reformer. If Hua Zheng was still in Mongolia, she would probably look different.

After the Heavenly Sacrifice at the Winter Solstice, there is also the New Year Sacrifice during the Chinese New Year, which is to worship the ancestors. Fortunately, Yang Kang is ill, otherwise it would be a lot of busy.

During the Chinese New Year, Qiu Chuji hurriedly came here, visited for a while and then left. Chongyang Palace was also the busiest at this time.

Yang Kang was lying on the bed and had no intention of studying the "Nine Yin Scriptures" which he had already memorized. The main reason was that the scriptures were too profound and difficult to understand. He needed to read the Taoist scriptures and read them carefully.

If you have a good master...

Whenever he encounters a difficult scripture, Yang Kang always thinks like this.

In this era, there are not many people who can interpret the "Nine Yin Manual". Only those who have certain attainments in martial arts or have a profound foundation in Taoism can do it.

It has been almost eight years since Yang Kang traveled back in time. He has been exposed to Tao Zang for only four years, and he still reads it in a voracious manner. Tao Zang is vast and profound, and he cannot be considered proficient without more than ten years of knowledge. He only has a partial understanding of it.

King Chongyang of the Five Arts has passed away, and the other four can understand this scripture, especially Master Yideng and Huang Yaoshi. One of them was once an emperor and received a good basic education, and the other was a scholar with profound knowledge and everything.

Understand.

Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng must be different, otherwise Ouyang Feng would not have to ask Huang Rong to interpret the scriptures for him.

Of course, the old naughty boy should be able to do it, but he is crazy, and he will make you crazy with random words, and he will not take any responsibility.

As for Mei Chaofeng, forget it.

"As you continue to practice, why do you ask so many questions?"

Yang Kang could already imagine Mei Chaofeng saying this with a straight face, and he couldn't help but smile. If he had the internal skills and mental methods in the previous volume, he would be much better if he could do it step by step.

Since he couldn't practice martial arts for the time being, he thought about another thing.

After the end of the year, the court began to discuss two major events, one was the matter of establishing a prince, and the second was the relocation of the capital.

The matter of establishing a prince is a commonplace. Discussions in the court have been ongoing over the years, but this time there is something different.

First, it was submitted by an official in Jizhou. This memorial was reported in layers and was smoothly sent to the Shangshu Province. Then it came to the desk of Emperor Wanyan Jing. The Shangshu Province of the Jin Kingdom was the highest authority of the imperial court.

, directly attributed to the emperor for overview, this is a strange thing.

In the past, Wanyan Jing had no intention of setting up a prince, so he would not even look at such a memorial. His ministers, trying to figure out the holy will, would naturally not submit such a memorial.

Not only did he submit it this time, Wanyan Jing also opened it and looked at it. Although he didn't express an opinion, it could be seen from the time he looked at that the emperor was interested in this matter.

Perhaps the fact that this memorial came to the Long Case smoothly was the emperor's instruction.

The next day, ministers wrote letters one after another asking the emperor to establish a prince. The ministers who supported Wanyan Hongyu and Wanyan Honglie argued endlessly in the court. Even Yang Kang, who was recovering from illness, knew that this was going to change.

As for the matter of moving the capital, we have just discussed it.

There has been no war in the Jin Kingdom in the past two years, and there has been some peace. Some people think that the north is bitterly cold and has inconvenient transportation, so it is better to move to Kaifeng, Nanjing. It was originally the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had a long history of operation, complete facilities, and a better geographical location than the central capital.

At this time, the Jin Kingdom established five capitals and nineteen roads, namely Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Dading Prefecture in Beijing, Datong Prefecture in Xijing, Daxing Prefecture in Zhongjing, and Kaifeng Prefecture in Nanjing.

This time I plan to move Zhongjing to Nanjing to enjoy the colorful world in the south.

Needless to say, the matter of moving the capital is a long-term process, and it cannot be moved casually. It involves all aspects of matters, and the most important one at the moment is the issue of establishing a prince.

Everyone in the government and the public is paying close attention to Wanyan Jing's movements, which are related to the future of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the spring of 1212 AD, Emperor Wanyan Jing issued an order to make King Jiang Wanyan Hongyu the crown prince and change the country's name to Tianxing. This year was the first year of Tianxing.

As the losing party, Wanyan Honglie was sent to Kaifeng, Nanjing to serve as a stay-at-home officer.

This is not because Wanyan Jing is old and confused, he has his own plan, and that is the current situation of the Kingdom of Jin, whether it is a matter of defense or offense.

Wanyan Hongyu had mediocre qualifications and no enterprising spirit. He was more than conservative and insufficient in pioneering. Wanyan Honglie had great ambitions and was a heroic figure who opened up new territories.

At this time, the Jin Kingdom's national strength began to decline, the domestic economy was inflated, and the army was even more disorganized and lazy. There was really no spare power to continue to wage war.

If Wanyan Honglie became emperor, he would definitely be the main militant and would drag the Jin Kingdom into the quagmire of war and hasten the Jin Kingdom's demise.

One of the weaknesses of the Jin Kingdom was the small number of people. When the Jin people advanced into the Central Plains and conquered a large area of ​​land, they found that there were no available people to garrison it, so they had to support Liu Yu's puppet regime to rule the territory of the Song Dynasty. Liu Yu became the emperor of Daqi.

, it was not until seven years later that the Jin Dynasty deposed Liu Yu.

This was what Wanyan Jing was worried about. He was afraid that Wanyan Honglie would blindly attack and kill. Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, it would be difficult to rule such a vast territory, which would eventually lead to the demise of the Jin Kingdom.

Maintaining the status quo is the best way to slow down this process. As long as the Kingdom of Jin is given a chance to recuperate for decades, it will continue to exist.

However, he did not kill them all, but left a way out for Wanyan Honglie.

This is for the sake of the future of the Kingdom of Jin. If the Kingdom of Jin is about to perish that day, Wanyan Honglie is the person who may change the fate of the Kingdom of Jin, saving the Kingdom of Jin from destruction and rebirth from the ashes.

Wanyan Jing summoned Wanyan Honglie to the palace, talked for a whole night, stated his interests, and gave him the important task of saving the survival of the Jin Kingdom.

The next day, everyone saw Wanyan Honglie's frustrated look, and no one wanted to play a supporting role.

The official position left behind was a high-ranking official, and the military and government could catch him. In other words, Wanyan Honglie was a local emperor in Kaifeng Mansion. This was the compensation Wanyan Jing gave to his youngest son.

Except for the servants in Prince Zhao's Mansion, everyone else was moving to Kaifeng. At Yang Kang's request, a blind servant was added to the team.

The huge motorcade slowly drove out of Zhongdu City. Wanyan Honglie, who was riding a horse, looked back at the city and secretly swore in his heart.

I will come back one day.
