Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seven The Court System Tames the Savages
Wanyan Wu begged for money, and after killing the people, he took Yang Pu to the main hall of the Jin Kingdom Palace as if nothing had happened.
This place is called a royal palace, but it is probably not as good as the governor's mansion in Bohai. It is just a big tent.
Nowadays, the sun is blazing in the south, but Huining Mansion in the far north is still a little cold, and there are even bonfires in the palace.
Wanyan Agu sat meditating on the dragon chair, staring at Yang Pu with a pair of sinister eyes.
"Are you Yang Pu? My second brother said that you are a capable person with real talents and learning. Are you willing to be used by me, Dajin?"
Yang Pu, who had stepped on the blood and mud of his compatriots, sighed deeply in his heart and bowed: "My servant, Yang Pu, is willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor."
Wanyan Aguda is a down-to-earth person. He won't talk nonsense to you at all. He laughed casually a few times and immediately asked: "What kind of official do you want? What can you do for me?"
It was also the first time for Yang Pu to see such an emperor. He pondered for a moment, reviewed the current situation of the Jin Kingdom in his mind, and blurted out:
"A craftsman, following rules for others, cannot make him skillful; a teacher, setting an example for others, cannot make him act skillfully. When the king establishes a military brigade, he should transform his family into a country, and seek to dominate the world and build a kingdom of ten thousand chariots. This is not the case.
It can be compared by a thousand chariots. All the troops from all tribes have returned to the king. Now we can lift the mountains and fill the sea, but we can't reform the old ones. I hope the king will book the emperor's title, grant all the tribes, and respond to the message, which will depend on thousands of miles. It is bounded by Haiyu in the east and Haiyu in the south.
Connecting the Great Song Dynasty, connecting Xixia in the west, and the people of the far country in the north, we will build the foundation for eternity and build the empire of the emperor. If you act suspiciously, you will be in trouble. What will happen to your Majesty?"
The Jurchen nobles present felt as if they were listening to the heavenly book and the mountains were shrouded in mist.
Yang Pu looked around and immediately realized that what he said was too elegant, so he changed his words to straightforward words and continued: "Since ancient times, when a hero founded a country or received Zen, he must first seek the title of a great power.
Your Majesty can ask the Liao people to first confer Your Majesty the title of Brother Emperor, recognize Your Majesty as the elder brother of Yelu Yanxi, bear the title of Great Sage and Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the title of the Kingdom of Great Gold, and grant him the jade chariot, crown crown, jade seal, and other ceremonial objects of the emperor.
In this way, if we use troops against the Khitan again, it will be justified and it will not be considered a rebellion."
Wanyan Aguda nodded, agreeing very much with this point. The Jurchens were too young and without status, no matter how powerful they fought, there would only be very few people who came to seek refuge.
In the next few months, Yang Pu, who had lost his country, devoted allegiance to Dai Jin and was canonized as a national master, much like Fan Wencheng of later generations.
Yang Pu then proposed many national policies. At the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, he created everything, including the court ritual system.
The two most powerful brothers of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu Qimai, all respected Yang Pu's words. This Bohai prisoner helped the Jin people slowly complete their evolution from tribe to nation.
Slaves were no longer arbitrarily executed, but instead became the labor force for the Jurchens to develop their national strength. They also created very strict military laws.
The unruly Jurchen nobles were very unruly when they fought with the Khitan a few days ago. Many of their enemies died, and they were so distressed that they even dared to scold Wanyan Agu for beating them.
After the military law was promulgated, Yang Pu took Wanyan Wu to beg for money, went to the army to find trouble and killed several generals to establish his authority.
Wanyan Agu listened to the advice of the national counselor Yang Pu, stopped attacking the Khitan, and instead made peace with them, allowing the Khitan to canonize him as emperor.
Yelu Yanxi, who went to the capital, heard the news that the Jin army had stopped advancing westward. He hugged Xiao Fengxian and cried happily.
The Khitan nobles and high-ranking officials were all jubilant. The streets were decorated with lights and fireworks and firecrackers were set off.
Emperor Tianzuo sent Yerunuge and others to envoy Jin to discuss the matter of canonization.
Yelu Dashi and others desperately opposed it. Once the Jurchens were registered, their rebellion would become legal.
It is difficult for the Khitan to fight against the Jurchens. If they are given a righteous name and allowed to recuperate for a period of time, what else can the Khitan do to resist?
Yelu Dashi argued hard and warned Emperor Tianzuo that the only way to destroy the Jurchens was to use all the means to destroy the Jurchens before they became fully powerful by taking advantage of the endless territory and military resources of the Liao Dynasty.
right way.
Otherwise, the Khitan people only know how to be conciliatory and retreat and tolerate, which will make the Jurchens even more unscrupulous.
Even a naive child knows that the Jurchen Tatars will not stop attacking Liao. After they get what they want, they will definitely show their fangs again.
It's just a few years of false peace, don't forget it! Khitan men are brave and not weak to others, so why should they grovel and beg for a living?
Yelu Dashi's words were sonorous, powerful, clear and logical. Emperor Tianzuo was very moved after seeing it. He slapped the table and ordered him to be expelled from Shangjing and thrown to Yanjing.
Poor Yelu Dashi, a great talent of a generation, could only sit back and watch as his ancestors' legacy was ruined.
However, a hero will never be defeated easily. Yelu Dashi, who cheered up, was preparing to go to the land of Youyan to recruit a new army and go north at any time.
Xiao Fengxian brought Gao Bing, the most popular person in Beijing and the Song envoy, to the palace to discuss the matter of establishing a Jurchen country and asking for canonization. The establishment of such a big country must take into account the attitude of the Song people, and will definitely send people to the Song Dynasty to ask for discs.
to establish diplomatic relations.
Emperor Tianzuo and Xiao Fengxian wanted to know the attitude of the Song people. They were also afraid that the Jurchens of the Song Dynasty would form an alliance. In that case, the Khitan would really be dead.
When Gao Bing came, he received a secret letter from Yang Lin, telling him that there were no taboos in going to Beijing, and he could say whatever was convenient, regardless of whether it was true or false. Anyway, our actions in Bianliang were completely based on the situation, and we would not treat this at all.
The words of several envoys bear the least responsibility.
The people born in Gao Yanei are tall, tall, eight feet tall, and handsome. Except for their lack of real ability, they are not weaker than others!
He patted his chest, blew a high-handled Hu, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the Jurchen Tatars dare to act arrogant, I, the Song Dynasty's millions of soldiers and horses, will definitely go straight to Huanglong, take Wanyan's child's dog head, and chop it off to make a urinal for Your Majesty.
.”
"I am not talented, but I am willing to be a pioneer for Song and Liao, and I will ride on horseback to Ning Mansion!"
Emperor Tianzuo and Xiao Fengxian looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"Song and Liao are united, so there is nothing to fear if the Jurchens go away." Xiao Fengxian twirled his beard and said with a smile.
Emperor Tianzuo was also very happy. He was so worried these days that he rarely got drunk.
After hearing these heroic words, he immediately said: "If this is true, General Gao is the benefactor of Daliao. If you show General Gao's lofty sentiments, we will not return home until we get drunk tonight."
Bianliang, cozy home.
This elegant place that Bianliang scribes cherished so much has been changed beyond recognition since it changed its owner.
Even the bedroom is decorated with gold and jade carvings. In the small attic of the original Changle Building, there is a couch that is two feet long and seven feet wide. It can accommodate seven or eight people.
In addition to a woven rattan mat, there are also pastries, spices, fruits, utensils and other items. The furnishings cannot be described as rich and romantic.
The little girl Miao'er was wearing a silver-white silk pleated skirt, her head was lowered, her eyebrows were beautiful, and her face was pretty. She knelt on the couch, pinched her waist and beat her legs, and served her attentively.
Yang Lin rested on Xu Yuenu's body, reading the letter from Yu Wenxuzhong, and kept laughing.
Xu Yuenu revealed half of her head, tilted her head and asked, "Lin Lang, why are you smiling so happily?"
"I laughed so hard at how drunk the Khitan people were. The Jurchen Tatars were already fighting at the door, and they were still thinking about having fun. I was really laughing to death."
Xu Yuenu was not interested in this at all. She put her chin on his shoulder and asked: "Lin Lang, when people enter Yang's house, do they enter through the front door? My father's concubines all come from the front door.
I entered through the back door, I feel so sad. You love me so much, you shouldn’t be the same as Xu Jin, right?"
Yang Lin carefully put away the secret letter, turned around and pinched her ingot-like earlobe, and said with a wicked smile: "If you let me use the back door, I won't let you use the back door."
Xu Yuenu was startled for a moment, glanced at him resentfully, and pouted: "At that time, the front and back doors were open for you, but you didn't even leave, so you had to climb the wall to get in. In the manor in front of Mizhou Harbor,
All the dealers are laughing at me behind my back, it’s you who’s the one who’s bad.”
Yang Lin laughed and said: "What do you know, men just like to climb to the top!"
