"Wulinda, how dare you bring such conditions back to Yanjing?!"
After changing five horses, Ulin Dazammo took just over two days to cross the three hundred miles to Yanjing. In the main hall of Shangshutai, which was filled with dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom, when he exhausted After I tried my best to explain the newly added conditions and time limit issues of a certain official, I immediately received a condescending roar.
The person who yelled at him was an old official of the clan. This time, Wanyan Talan was named by the Zhao Guan family and the sixth prince to slander Lu Guan and become the ruling prince.
In other words, it was because he was so lazy that he had to bite the bullet and yell like this.
However, after Ta Lai finished his roar, everyone just looked at him coldly without saying anything in agreement, and Wulin Dazanmo was even more tired and didn't bother to pay attention at all.
"Wulin replied to the minister, please take a rest." After a while, the eldest prince Wanyan Oben, who was still designated to die, broke the awkward silence with a dark face. "It's been a hard journey."
"yes."
The exhausted Ulin Dazammo reluctantly handed over his hands, turned directly back to his seat, and sat down. Immediately, an attendant served tea and cakes at the signal of Wushu, another ruling prince. And Wu Linda had no scruples and took a few bites directly in the seat.
"Uncle, let's take a rest." Wanyan Oben saw Wulin Zanmo sitting down and turned to look at Wanyan Tarlan, who was already extremely embarrassed. "No one here doubts you..."
Too lazy to do anything, I could only cover my face and return to my seat.
However, this kind of easing of the small scene did not help the overall situation at all. Everyone sat down and began to carefully think about the conditions of Zhao Song's official family, but they were really powerless.
"I definitely can't agree to it."
In the silence, Wanyan Xiyin suddenly spoke. At this time, he could let go and have a fair discussion. "Why do we ask for peace? Don't we just want to preserve something? The heads of the ruling prince, the core rich family members, and the army generals. He was cut off and sent to the enemy's country, and the country's leader called the enemy's emperor his father... Even if there is a Jin country, it is another country... Why do you want peace?"
"My official thinks what Mr. Xi Yin said is very good."
The Prime Minister Qin Hui also suddenly interrupted. "Since we have reached this situation today, we might as well speak more clearly... What is the situation in the Kingdom of Jin? It is Taizu, Taizong, princes, and the kings of the country. Headed by the Wanyan tribe of the royal family, headed by the Jurchens Ethnicity builds a core for the main body of the army... Then the Yanyun Han people, us Han people from the south, Bohai people, Korean people, surrendered Khitan people, Xi people, everyone revolves around the core branches of the Wanyan clan and the Jurchen clan , either above or below, either as a branch or as a dependency, each performing its own duties and forming one body, which is why we had the great kingdom of thousands of miles ago... In the final analysis, it is not impossible to negotiate peace, but we must first figure out who owns this great Jin Kingdom. The Kingdom of Jin?! Isn’t it the Great Jin Kingdom of the Wanyan clan and the Jurchen clan?!”
Hearing this, everyone here nodded... After all, this is the truth. No matter whether they are literary or military, Han or Xi, everyone knows it very well, but they have to admit that if they really analyze it in detail, they will still be able to understand it. My two husbands-in-law made it clear and direct.
Whose country does the Great Jin belong to? It belongs to the Wanyan family and the Jurchens, right? Now, two of the three heads of the Wanyan family will die, and the one who has just grown up will be his son. The main leader of the Jurchens If all the remaining generals die, then the Great Jin Kingdom will be no different from its demise.
"I have already said it before, and I am afraid that the Zhao Guan family has no intention and sincerity." Hong Ya glanced at the silent sixth prince, Lu Guan, and continued to speak. "This is just a estrangement strategy... There is no need to go there again."
Everyone agreed more and more.
"You are right, but if we don't negotiate for peace, where is the way out?" But at this moment, Wu Shu, who had been sentenced to death through the air more than forty days ago, suddenly bowed his head and spoke in the audience, causing the noise in the hall to stop immediately.
"The foundation of the country, the foundation of the country, Wanyan and Jurchen are of course the foundation of the country, but Wanyan is also divided into the Wanyan clan and the Wanyan tribe, and the Jurchen also has the Jurchen army and the Jurchen tribe... I am a defeated army, and I am a general of the country.
The sinners who were buried in war should not have said more, and I don’t want to say more... I only have one sentence today, if my life is needed by the country, I can take it at any time, and I must not have any scruples."
With that said, Wu Shu reluctantly got up and bowed slightly towards the young king who had not said anything, his own nephew, and then limped out of the casting without communicating with anyone else.
He passed the peak of his power in the main hall of Shangshutai.
The vast majority of people remained silent and quiet from beginning to end, and the young ruler, who was eighteen years old this year, once wanted to get up and express something, but in the end he remained silent.
Everyone just watched His Highness King Wei walk out of the hall alone.
This is not to say that everyone is a cold-blooded person, on the contrary, the most cold-blooded person is undoubtedly Wu Shu himself... Because when everyone is still having to deceive themselves and others because of their respective positions, this King of Wei
He directly exposed everyone's background.
After Wu Shu left, everyone was dejected and didn't know how to make a decision. They could only agree to make the final decision tomorrow morning and then disperse.
Everyone left, and Hong Ya went to see Qin Hui as a matter of course... At this time, the city of Yanjing had become a city filled with explosives, and the fuses were also lit... nothing could be taken into consideration.
"what are you thinking?"
Entering the Qin Mansion, he turned back and forth to the backyard. As soon as he entered the house, Hong Ya became a little angry. "Today, I was intimidating others for the eldest prince and the others in the palace... At this point, I can be a long-lasting husband in a country thousands of miles away."
, it’s better than going back, right?! We are surrendering after all. After we go back, if we offend anyone, a county magistrate can deal with us!"
"Of course I know this truth!"
Qin Huizhi suddenly turned around to look at each other, obviously losing control of his emotions. "But can't you really see it? That official is really playing tricks on Yanjing, and the Kingdom of Jin will most likely perish! What kind of long-lasting brother-in-law we have?
It’s just a name…it’s really sowing discord!”
Hong Ya didn't understand this at this time and couldn't deal with it for a moment. The two of them just sat in the room.
However, the two of them knew very well that sitting there was tantamount to waiting for death, and they had to discuss a result.
"We have to figure it out." After a while, Hong Ya spoke first. "Brother Hui, let alone others, the people who surrendered to the south here in Yanjing are all grasshoppers on a rope, and you and I share both blessings and misfortunes.
At this time, we must work together to find a way out... Otherwise, nine times out of ten, the result will be a shipwreck and a loss of lives!"
At this point, without waiting for the other party to speak, Hong Ya made another sentence: "First of all, as you said, the officials are lax on the surface, but in fact they are working both internally and externally, and they are determined to destroy the Jin Kingdom... That is true.
In the future, it will be equivalent to establishing a new country outside the Great Wall... Therefore, we must jump off this sinking ship as soon as possible!"
"But where to jump?" Qin Huizhi seemed to be retorting, but in fact he was thinking quickly along the other side's train of thought. "The Zhao Guan family won't accept us...anything besides this ship, including Goryeo, Mongolia and Khitan, is the Zhao Guan family's ship!"
"If you don't have a big boat, you have to look for a small boat. This boat is tied to the boat." Hong Ya said. "Take a step and see what happens."
"That is to say, we need to find the forces within Yanjing City that can protect themselves at this time, and then see if the officials will allow this big ship to be set up again outside the Great Wall for the sake of balancing the forces outside the Great Wall." Qin Hui immediately translated. "
Let’s get on the boat again…”
After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and felt a little relieved.
"Is it feasible for the Yanyun clan?" Hong Ya slapped the table with his hands and followed the steps. "At this time, the Yanyun clan has the most powerful troops in Yanjing City, and the surrounding areas are also..."
"No." Qin Hui shook his head in reply. "Yanjing is a place that the officials want to decide, and they attach great importance to it. They even waited for forty or fifty days for this, allowing the Mongols and Koreans to take the backtrack and force this place to collapse.
To leave, we want to take this city without fighting...and the Yanyun clan is all based in Yanyun, how can we get on this ship?"
"That's right." Hong Ya then confirmed. "Even if the officials want to deal with the three families of Liu, Zuo and Han today, they can't give up the family assets easily. At most, brothers Han Fang, Liu Zuo and a few people can do it."
Follow the ruler of the country to the north..."
"Not necessarily." Qin Huizhi suddenly interrupted. "Since the official over there is obviously malicious, and Liu Yanzong's youngest son died in Zhending, Han Fang wanted to be his emperor's master and famous minister, but the two remaining Liu family members
The brothers and the three Zuo brothers are all young, so it is unlikely that they will pull the king together to prevent him from evacuating, and tie up Yanjing to beat him..."
Hong Ya sneered slightly: "That may be the case, but it's not that I look down on them. If they are really in a life-and-death situation, they will directly take action. Although these people are more powerful, they may not be the opponents of those veteran generals..."
At this point, Hong Ya was slightly startled: "Speaking of which, the officials made a mistake. The third of the three Liu brothers died in Zhending long ago."
"Maybe it's a mistake, but it's not necessarily a mistake, but it's a deliberate attempt to anger the Liu brothers." Qin Hui shook his head slightly. "Anyway, the Yanyun clan cannot be relied on... What about the generals who withdrew? Are they reliable?
"
"I think they are reliable for the time being." Hong Ya sighed. "These are veteran generals. Although they have fewer soldiers and horses, they are veterans who have escaped, and everyone has their own personal guards, even except Yeluma.
Five, the other four people also have roots outside the Great Wall, even on the official list, why not borrow a boat and wait until outside the Great Wall to kick them out?"
Qin Hui nodded: "Write this down first... What about the eldest prince, fourth prince, and sixth prince? Is there a place to stay?"
"Looking at the appearance of the fourth prince today, he has lost his temper. Although the sixth prince's position is closest to ours, he seems to be really frightened by the officials and is bent on negotiating peace. But he is just a waste and is of no great use at this critical moment.
On the contrary, the eldest prince is the adoptive father of the king, the eldest son of Taizu, and this time he escaped back to Qianbian Hezha Meng'an, so he is the most important in name and in reality..." Hong Ya said in a general way, and suddenly stopped.
"So what?" Qin Huizhi was puzzled for a moment.
"The officials made a mistake in their calculation again." Hong Ya was dumbfounded for a moment. "Not only did the three Liu brothers make a mistake, Wanhu... Wanhu seemed to have made a mistake too... Five Wanhus apparently escaped and came back.
The official family only needs four lives!"
"Has your name been called?" Qin Hui was also startled, and then hurriedly asked.
"That's it." Hong Ya recalled the words of Wulin and Zanmo in the main hall of Shangshutai just past. "Ma Wu, Jian Lu Bu, Pu Cha Hu Zhan, Jia Gu Wu Li Bu..."
"He Shilie Taiyu is missing!" Qin Hui suddenly lost his mind. "Is this intentional? The He Shilie Department is the largest Jurchen Department alongside the Pusan Department, second only to the core of the Wanyan Department... and Both Pusanbeilu and his son died, while Heshilie and Taiyu's father and son survived. The Pusan tribe was on Posu Road, next to Goryeo, and was almost unscathed, but the foundation of the Heshilie tribe was in the north of Huanglong Mansion, around Shangjing... This person Are the officials calculating to this extent?!"
"It's hard to say that I just forgot." Hong Ya tried his best to persuade him, but he himself became suspicious. "He Shilie Taiyu is not a veteran, but just like Pu San Bei Lu, who came from the rear two years ago. It's not as good as The other four people had many encounters with that official..."
"He Shilie Taiyu...He Shilie's Ministry..." Qin Hui stood up as he said it, walked around the room with his arms folded, and then suddenly stopped. "Hong Shilang!"
"What?" Hong Ya also gasped.
"What if the official did it on purpose?" Qin Hui asked in a loss of temper. "This makes sense... It's like deliberately mentioning the dead third son of the Liu family to anger the Yanyun family and damage it. The situation in Yanjing, at this time, deliberately leaving a powerful Heshi Lieutenant with a retreat and allowing the Jurchens to chaos would also ruin the situation in Yanjing... Isn't it possible? And, have you ever thought about it, if this is the case? , then the official expected that our reaction would be even more unusual...Did he imply that we should help He Shilie Taiyu?"
"Isn't it a bit bizarre?" Hong Ya was flustered.
"This is not a question of whether it is bizarre or not. First, I would rather believe it or not." Qin Hui said seriously. "Second, it is a mistake. What would He Shilie Taiyu think? Is this a big deal? loopholes and opportunities?”
"What chance?" Hong Ya raised his hands and lowered his face at the same time.
"All soldiers and horses are lost, and people are panicked; the army is pressing down on the territory, and Yanyun cannot be defended; Mongolia leaves the Zhongjing Road, and Goryeo leaves the Tokyo Road, and the road back will be cut off... Zhao Guan's family is pressing like this now, and Yanjing will soon be in chaos!" Qin Hui approached! The other party lowered his voice and said, "No matter what their thoughts are, the Yanyun clan is definitely not willing to let the king leave, but the soldiers and horses outside the Great Wall are not willing to wait at all, they just want to go back... There is no need to wait for tomorrow morning, tonight There's going to be trouble!"
"Mr. Qin, tell me something that your subordinates don't know." Hong Ya raised his head and stared at the other party's white face, looking at him coldly.
"If we can join forces with He Shilie Taiyu, can we take advantage of the chaos to make a big difference... and take advantage of the chaos to solidify the terms of the peace negotiation?" Qin Hui said in a particularly soft tone.
"How to make it real?" Hong Ya, who was sweating profusely, seemed to know the other person for the first time. "Do you know what you mean? This is not something you did to fool a useless sixth prince in Zhending City back then... There is a tangle of forces from all sides, no matter which family is a hero... we are just two useless scholars!"
"Of course I know the situation." Qin Hui panted, but at this time, "As for how to make it practical..."
At this point, even Qin Hui was a little flustered and hesitant... As the other party said, this was not about fooling a sixth prince in Zhending City surrounded by corpses and wounded soldiers.
"How can we make it happen?!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the house, causing the two of them to jump into a mess, almost as if they had been caught in an act of rape. However, they soon relaxed because the people who came were none other than Qin Huizhi's wife, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang.
His cousin Zheng Xiunian.
But it was Wang who spoke.
Wang walked into the house proudly, glanced at her husband and Hong Ya coldly, and then looked back at her cowering cousin. She was so angry that she took out a dagger from her sleeve, and then took it from the plate on the table.
The next piece of cake was cut open with a knife, then he dropped the dagger again, holding two pieces of cake, and turned back to look at Qin Hui:
"How can we make it real? Isn't it enough to make it real like this? Seeing that there will be chaos in one day, not to mention wealth, even the life and property are at risk, and still hesitating here...what does it look like?!
"
During Qin's meeting, Nai Nai dared not speak.
Wang took the cake and looked at Hong Ya again: "Hong Shilang, my Sanlang is a loser. It was my fault in my womb that I met him. How come Shilang Hong is so ridiculous today?"
Hong Ya was frightened for a while, and then he was slapped in the face by Wang again. Finally, he got angry and stood up and waved his sleeves and said: "Mrs. Wang! If we weren't as ridiculous as your San Lang, how could we have surrendered together and end up like this together?
What’s the end?!”
And at this moment, after closing his eyes for a moment, Qin Hui suddenly gritted his teeth and made a decision in the face of his wife's urging: "In any case, let's test He Shilie Taiyu! If you don't tell the truth... no, let's
Then go find Tulu and make up for them."
Hong Ya hesitated to speak, but could not object after all.
PS: Thanks to classmate Han Yuyinong for being so cute, and thanks to the others for their support of Baiyinmeng...I can’t thank you enough.
