In the dark night, the chaos grew bigger and bigger, with roars, cries, and ferocious laughter mingling together, mixed with the gurgling sound of water, and the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the grass and shrubs when the water and grass were abundant in summer, forming a kind of
The strange sound is like the dance music of shamans during a sacrificial ceremony.
And just like this sound, the fire quickly swept through the entire camp on the south bank of Huangshui, and then triggered some kind of collapse-like separation, just like the fire had just been lit, but was blown by the strong wind, raising the sparks directly.
generally.
But there is no doubt that just as the wind can only blow away ash piles and grass blades, but cannot blow away real firewood, several scattered and bright areas were quickly formed on the south bank of Huangshui, and then they still maintained a certain degree of stability.
Order and action.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xi Yin and Mr. Qin...Wulin replied to the minister."
Nian Lubu, who was fully armored, hurriedly entered the central courtyard of the market where the king and his wife were staying. He didn't care about the few petty officials. He just saluted several nobles in the courtyard and then immediately greeted them seriously. "The general received a summons from the King of Liao.
He came here immediately to escort him... Unfortunately, only three hundred people gathered in a hurry, and the rest did not escape on their own, and it was difficult to gather them together for a while."
"enough."
The leader of the country, Qin Hui and Wulin Dazammo remained silent, allowing Xi Yin who was standing at the foot of the steps to take over the words without hesitation. "The enemy is bluffing like this and has not crossed the river for a long time. He must have insufficient troops. You have to bring
Three hundred people, and the remaining 400 Hezha Meng'an here are all wearing armor, and together they are enough to protect the safety of the king... Just wait for fate."
This sentence is not only an affirmation of Zan Lubu's coming to support... After all, three hundred people must be a bit small, he should have left many people to protect his family... It is also a way to comfort the frightened head of the country and his wife.
And sure enough, Wanyan Hela, who was also wearing armor and waiting on the steps, immediately felt relieved after hearing this. But after a moment of relief, the young king pressed the sword in his waist and asked a sensitive question:
"Mr. Xi Yin, are there really General Ma Wu's troops on the other side of the river? If it was him, why didn't Taiyuan and Huolu surrender to the Song people directly? Why didn't they rebel in Dading Prefecture? And why did they come from the other side, not from the other side?
Chasing behind..."
"Your Majesty, this is not the time to worry about this matter."
In the light of the fire, Xiyin, who was dressed as an ordinary Confucian scholar, suddenly put his hands together and interrupted the other party. "Perhaps Yelu Ma Wuzhen rebelled, or maybe there was a small group of Mongolian and Khitan troops who pursued them to Changning, and then they persuaded him to move and forced Yelu
Ma Wu, or simply some Khitan people who were motivated to do this behind Ma Wu's back, or even just bandits wandering around, the tribe borrowed Ma Wu's name after hearing about Changning... But it doesn't matter, because
Even if the people coming from the other side are Yelu Mawu's tribe, they are far smaller than our large force, yet we collapsed without a fight and became a mess...The problem is not on the other side of the river at all, but on this side of the river."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Hui, Wulin Dazanmo and Tiao Lubu almost nodded in unison.
He La was silent for a while, then nodded somewhat dejectedly, and put down the hand holding the sword:
"My husband said that the enemy is nothing to worry about. The problem now is that among us... we almost mutinied in the evening, and now it is like this... I don't know what else will happen when we get to Huanglong Mansion?"
"What's the situation outside?" Xiyin avoided the topic and turned to look at Zan Lubu.
"The camp has been largely out of control. It's all looting and fleeing. Several generals gathered their troops and waited for reinforcements. However, some people thought they had arrived here and knew the rest of the way. So although they were able to gather people, they still took the initiative to flee. ." Jian Lubu quickly explained. "As for the enemy, as Xianggong said, they are just making noise, but they have not yet crossed the river..."
"Who escaped? Who gathered to hold on?" Xiyin kept asking.
Qin Hui's eyelids twitched, then without saying a word, he gently took half a step back to the dark place.
"I don't dare to say whether he left or not. I just looked by the light." Nian Lubu didn't pay attention to Qin Hui's movements, but looked at Wanyan Xiyin carefully. "The place where General Jiagu Wulibu lives is dim, it seems that Now that we have left, the lights at the end where General Pucha Hu Zhan is are brightly lit, and orders and shouts can be heard from afar, and the post station occupied by General He Shilie Taiyu is also very bright..."
"Wulibu is actually defeated." Wu Lin sighed in reply to Zanmo, and then seemed to think of something, and suddenly continued to ask. "How can Marshal Talan and Yin Shu both work together?"
"Although these two don't have many soldiers, they did build a fire in the courtyard, which was particularly obvious... After all, they are veteran generals." Zan Lubu still did not dare to neglect. "The two of them are actually next to General He Shilie. Camp.”
Hearing this, Xiyin and Wulin Dazanmo suddenly stopped talking together and fell silent in the courtyard. The rest of the people, from the king of the country to Jian Lubu, were a little puzzled for a moment, but they still remained patient. .
Only Qin Hui remained silent as always... He didn't dare to say a word now.
Just like that, after waiting for a while, Xi Yin spoke seriously to the side of the brazier again: "Xian Lubu, if you want to lead your headquarters to burn or break the pontoon bridge on the river, are you sure? How long will it take?" "
"In the dark night, apart from roughly knowing that the opponent's strength will not be too large, the rest of the situation is unclear, so it's hard to say anything." Zhi Lubu quickly answered. "But if the military is smooth and secure, then there will be no other situation." It will take more than half an hour to finish this and come back..."
"Then it's too late." Xiyin's expression remained unchanged, but he clasped his hands and continued to ask another question in a calm tone. "In this situation, do you want to stay here to protect the king, or do you want to go back to protect Liao?" Your Highness?"
As soon as these words came out, I don't know if it was an illusion, but the already quiet courtyard became even quieter, which was in sharp contrast to the noise outside the courtyard.
After all, this question was unclear and even a little ridiculous... because Zan Lubu himself was escorted by Wanyan Oben's order.
Besides, the king himself is still behind. Do you want Lu Bu to say in front of the eighteen-year-old king... Between the king and the king of Liao, I choose the king of Liao?
However, it was Wanyan Xiyin who asked such a confused and ridiculous question.
Who is Wanyan Xiyin?
He is recognized as the first Jurchen wise man, one of the founders of the Jurchen national system, the inventor of Jurchen writing, one of the actual handlers of national government affairs in the past few years, and one of the pillars of the country. Although many Jurchen kings and generals died, he was still an important balancer in whether this country could continue in the future.
At this moment, the Xianggong and the eldest prince led King Wanyan Oben of Liao, and the king himself standing behind him. These three people are the basic symbols of the continued existence of the Wanyan regime of the Jurchen clan in the Jin Kingdom.
Therefore, Qian Lubu was so flustered that he did not dare to answer.
Not only Lu Bu himself, but also Wu Lin Dazan Mo was also a little flustered... Qin Huizhi hesitated for a moment. He wanted to show a little panic to confuse others, but he was too stiff to do so, and this It seemed that his panic was really reflected... Yes, after this question, Qin Hui finally became a little instinctively confused and panicked.
There was still a commotion outside, and a gust of wind blew in, scattering the already chaotic shadows and lights in the courtyard. At this time, there was a faint cry of killing in the wind, as if the enemy army had finally crossed the river.
Xiyin seemed to have come to his senses at this moment, and then gave an inexplicable reply, just like he had asked the question inexplicably before:
"I understand... just stay here and protect me with peace of mind."
Nian Lubu became more and more confused. However, when he nodded in response, his eyes swept over Xiyin and Qin Huizhi behind him, Wulin replied to Zanmo, and landed on the ruler of the country who had been standing silently and solemnly higher up. Suddenly I had two or three guesses. I am afraid that I am not asking myself, or in other words, I am not just asking myself.
However, in this case, does Wanyan Xiyin really think that there will be any danger to the eldest prince?
A quarter of an hour later, Tran Lubu's doubt disappeared, because as the enemy crossed the river, he personally went out to patrol the outer defense line, and climbed to the roof to observe the situation. He saw with his own eyes that after the so-called Yelu Mawu's subordinates crossed the river, , there were formations of horseshoes, and rows of torches, but there were not a few who looted wantonly, but as expected, they went straight to the location of the King of Liao, the eldest prince Wanyan Orben!
There was no hesitation, no reconnaissance, and no misjudgment in the whole process. In the middle of the night, they made a mess, hurriedly crossed the river, and actually hit the target with one blow.
At this time, Jiagu Wuli's reinforcements were scattered, his own troops had just arrived at the side of the king, and the Pucha Huzhan tribe was farther away at the rear. The eldest prince probably could only gather like him in his haste. A mere few hundred soldiers and horses were gathered.
As soon as he saw this, even though it was early summer, even outside the Great Wall, the night was still warm and windy, and Nian Lubu felt cold in his heart.
Another gust of wind blew by. Nian Lubu, who was slumped on the roof of the outer building, sent people to report back to Wanyan Xiyin and the king. At the same time, he carefully returned to the palace with the help of his own soldiers, and at the same time forced himself to return to his senses. Come, think hard and quickly about the pros and cons:
The current situation is obvious. It doesn’t matter who comes up tonight, whether it is Yelu Mawu, the Khitan tribe in the west, the local Xi people bandits, or even the Jurchen tribesmen coming from the east. The key is Today, there must be an insider or even an envoy among the exiled imperial troops on the south side of Huangshui... And the target is also very clear, that is the eldest prince, King Wanyan Ofen of Liao.
Why kill the eldest prince?
The answer to this question was known to the entire escape team when they were in Dading Mansion (near Chengde). After the Zhao Song officials killed the fourth prince, their new message was to kill the eldest prince first and then negotiate new terms for peace... This This is the most critical issue in the Jin Kingdom’s exiled court!
The previous plan to kill the eldest prince and a lot of powerful people in charge of the army still caused such things in Yanjing, let alone now?
However, according to the thinking of Tian Lubu and most people, this issue should wait until the team insists on arriving at Huanglong Mansion before discussing and taking action. Unexpectedly, it turns out that before Huanglong Mansion is about to arrive, Linhuang Mansion is about to leave.
Away from here.
Of course, these are all settled facts. It is useless to think about them. The key is how to deal with them?
Or is it better to be more direct and do you want to save yourself?
Should he take the initiative to offer rescue, or should he wait silently for orders from the king and Prime Minister Xiyin?
Or, should we simply advise the king and husband not to save him?
You must know that the attitude between the king and Mr. Xiyin was already very ambiguous just now, and this time, if it is really an attack led by someone in the team, then he should not try to attack the king or others after killing the eldest prince.
Right? You can escape with your own life. After arriving at Huanglong Mansion, let's see what the outcome of the peace talks is? At worst, you will end up diving into the black water of the white mountains and spend the rest of your life!
But why did the king of the country and Mr. Xiyin also have this attitude? Were they also involved? Or were they just like me, having their own thoughts before the battle?
All in all, Tiao Lubu had many thoughts, but it only took a moment. He got down to the room and returned to the courtyard. On the other side, the king and his wife were with Xianggong Xiyin, Qin Huizhi, Shangshu Wulin, Zanmo and others.
The person had just heard the summons from the guards.
Then, King Hela, who was slightly sweaty on his forehead, couldn't help but look at Xiyin. Obviously, he also thought of Xiyin's strange question before.
"Mr. Xiyin..." Hela suddenly sweated slightly on his head. "What's going on? Did General Yeluma Wu come back under your order?"
"It has nothing to do with me, and I don't know who it is." Wanyan Xiyin spread his hands and answered with a calm tone and a calm expression. "It's just that when King Wei goes, His Highness the King of Liao is the biggest obstacle to the peace negotiation, and the location of this place is too
It's embarrassing, anyone can attack, and no one can actually send a large army here... Therefore, when chaos occurs, I guess that there is probably someone colluding with others, or someone is stupid and actually opened the door to welcome the robbers.
"
Hela heard this and was speechless for a moment, but he was still uneasy.
It turns out that because he escaped too quickly before, the death of his mentor Han Fang that night in Yanjing has always been an unsolved mystery to Hela. On the contrary, Wanyan Digunai's words and actions were confirmed by many people. Therefore, what happened that night
It was like a thorn that pierced deeply into his heart. These days, the king has been wary and dissatisfied with the eldest prince and his son. He only relies on Wanyan Xiyin for everything.
However, all said and done, Wanyan Onben had nurtured him for several years, and no matter how hard they worked together, they never thought of sitting back and watching the other party die.
"Ms. sir."
Just a moment later, Hela reached out and held one of Xiyin's hands. "I didn't say anything before because I was stupid and didn't know what my husband meant, but I really didn't mean to let my uncle die... That was
My uncle has raised me at home for several years, and he is still a hero and a prince in power... If I deliberately push him to die, how can I have the dignity to be the king of a country?"
Zhen Lubu sighed in his heart, but he was also relieved for a moment. After all, it was better to have such an attitude from the king than to be cold-eyed, and more importantly, he didn't have to worry about anything here. The king and the husband had orders, he
Just listen.
Wu Lin and Zan Mo also felt a little emotional.
As for Qin Huizhi, he remained silent, but couldn't help but look up at Wanyan Xiyin, as if he had met the wisest Jurchen again.
"Your Majesty, it's too late." Wanyan Xiyin didn't look at anyone at all, and his tone was indifferent. "Now the thieves have crossed the river, and the only remaining troops in front of the emperor are the more than 300 people brought by General Zhen Lubu. ...It would have been okay to meet up with His Highness the King of Liao in advance, but now that we have gone there in the dark, aren't we afraid of being completely defeated on the way? And if General Lubu's subordinates are also defeated, the thieves may want to kill the king and the king. His Royal Highness the King of Liao dealt with them together."
Hela was so frightened that he instinctively looked at the other people.
His eyes swept across Qin Hui, Wu Linda Zanmo and Nian Lubu. Only Wulin Dazanmo took half a step forward, and He La was just about to come down and take Wulin Da's hand, only to realize that he was still holding Wanyan Xi. Yin didn't dare to let go of his hand, so he could only lean forward slightly.
Seeing this situation, Wulin Zammo lamented in his heart, but he said respectfully at the bottom of the steps: "Your Majesty... Now that things have happened, the country has been destroyed, the family has been destroyed, the land has collapsed, and the mountains have been destroyed. Things are simply beyond human power, so why bother? Where’s the words?”
He La nodded slowly, finally released Xi Yin's hands, walked back, pushed open the half-open door, and happened to see his queen standing behind the door, so he took Xi Yin's hand again and turned around together. Go in.
But within a short time, as the shouts of killing in the distance gradually gathered and stabilized, the king broke out again and went directly to the courtyard to look at each other: "Have we already fought? We are definitely going towards the King of Liao. Of?"
Wanyan Xiyin stood in the wind without saying a word. When the others saw this, they just bowed their heads and remained silent like Qin Huizhi.
After a while, Tiao Lubu received the summons from the chamberlain and hurried back from the outside to give a brief report: "So that your Majesty will know that it is indeed the King of Liao who is surrounded and fighting has begun! But please Your Majesty, don’t worry, His Royal Highness the King of Liao is well guarded there..."
Wanyan Hela hesitated, looked at Wanyan Xiyin who was standing still, nodded, and then turned around again.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Hela hurriedly walked out again and faced each other on the steps: "Why are the shouts of killing getting louder and louder?"
Xiyin still didn't move, but Lu Bu hurriedly ran out, and came back after a while to report: "Your Majesty, after the Khitan thieves crossed the river, many of them looted and got lost. Now they are fighting, and their troops are gradually gathering, so I shouted The sound of killings just got louder and louder."
He La sneered and said angrily: "Are you sure that all those gathered here are bandits who were separated across the river? And are you sure they are Khitans?!"
Nian Lubu was speechless and could only go to see Xiyin... In fact, He Lazhen was half right. After all, Nian Lubu was a veteran in military affairs. He could tell from outside before, and those who gathered together might really It is not a scattered group of incoming troops, but more like the internal personnel of the camp who have been prepared to guide, attack and command.
It's just that the situation is too chaotic, with fleeing family members and defeated troops everywhere, and the stakes are high, so even if he already has doubts in his heart, it's hard to say which family sent them.
As for the head of the country, Wanyan Xiyin's attitude was so clear, and Zan Lubu also passed the most difficult multiple-choice question at the beginning. At this time, he was just coping.
Turning back to his eyes, He La was furious and saw no one responding. He shook his head helplessly and could only return to the house again.
There was still a constant breeze in the courtyard.
When Nian Lubu saw this, he secretly sighed in his heart, turned around again, and continued to watch the battle from the outside... He noticed that Pucha Huzhan made some strange movements for a while, but when the troops and horses were sent halfway, the lights completely dispersed, and then finally
No rescheduling.
This is as it should be, because Pucha Huzhan's nephew married the eldest daughter of the eldest prince.
He also noticed that the thieves who besieged the prince quickly became organized after receiving support from scattered tribesmen in the camp. They dispersed to the northwest corner of the prince's camp, but then began to set fire to the wind from the southeast.
, try to use fire attack to end everything.
Seeing that the fire was about to start, Zhen Lubu knew that the king would come out soon, and he might have to make the final decision.
Frankly speaking, until now, Zhenlu Bedu still wanted to save the eldest prince. Of course, the premise was not to bring trouble to himself. Therefore, after a slight hesitation, the Jurchen veteran and battlefield fugitive suddenly turned his head and looked at
The leader of his own bodyguard:
"You can go there once, just two or three people."
"What can two or three people do?" the guard leader was puzzled.
"There must be Khitan people. The key is to see if there are any Jurchens among those people?" Zhen Lubu was explaining seriously. "No matter what the result is, don't tell anyone. I'm just curious and want peace of mind...
Go and come back quickly."
The guard leader nodded, and immediately hurried away with a few thoughtful soldiers, disappearing into the night.
What surprised Zhen Lubu was that he had just waited for another summons from the king, that is, he slowly walked down the roof, and his own guard leader over there came back... and then, from a long distance away, he stood in front of him.
The man who came to summon the little chamberlain nodded slightly.
No matter how dull Zhen Lubu is, he knows that there must be Jurchens here, and they are probably acquaintances of his personal guards, otherwise they would not come back so quickly.
You guessed it, but after you really confirmed it, this Jurchen veteran still couldn't help but feel numb.
"Report to Your Majesty."
Turning back to the hospital, the numbness on his scalp had not yet subsided, and Zan Lubu could only force himself to recover. "Just as your Majesty guessed, the Khitan thieves used fire attacks. The weather is warm in summer, and there is a constant smoky wind... and
He also took the initiative to open an opening across the river, which can be regarded as surrounding three towers... His Highness the King of Liao is probably in real danger."
He La, who was standing on the threshold, felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His body swayed, and then he held on to the door frame and stood firm. Then he immediately looked at Yan Xiyin's back with some expectation.
But Xiyin still didn't move.
He went to see Nian Lubu again, but Nian Lubu just lowered his head.
I went to look for Qin Hui again. There were so many lights and shadows in the courtyard that I couldn't find Qin Hui for a while.
Finally, he went to look for Wulin Dazanmo. Wulin Dazanmo finally met the king's gaze, but shook his head slightly.
When Hela saw this, he felt helpless, fearful, and sad. He burst into tears immediately, and then he could only hide his face and return to the house.
Everyone in the courtyard, starting from the expressionless Xiyin, almost everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, a thin female voice suddenly sounded from the room:
"What's going on, Your Majesty? You were manipulated by others in Yanjing, and now you can only shed tears in front of your concubines? How can you, the majestic king of a country, be so cowardly even on his way to escape?"
What everyone was worried about was the little Queen Pei Man. They also knew that the little Queen was only fifteen years old. If he were the head of the country, based on his intelligence and experience, he would understand something in his heart. The little Queen was just talking childish words.
But for some reason, even though they knew it was the little queen's childish words, everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but be slightly moved, and then listened attentively.
And soon, the monarch's slightly choked voice came:
"You don't understand... This is not a matter of honor to the king. I know that Mr. Xiyin has good intentions, and I also know that the current situation is that people are fighting for their own good, and it would be good for everyone if my uncle dies... I just think of my uncle's upbringing.
The kindness of Master Han... and the kindness of Master Han's teachings... and the kindness of Fourth Uncle's support... Master Han was too late to save, and Fourth Uncle was too late to save... Now the last close uncle can't be saved! I'm not
You are ashamed to be a king, but you are ashamed to be a nephew!"
The whole courtyard was filled with pity for a moment.
"Since you are ashamed, why don't you save it?!" the little queen's shrill voice sounded again. "The country is like this, what else is there to worry about?!"
"Mr. Xiyin will not let me divide my troops..."
"You are the direct grandson of Taizu, and you are skilled in bow and horse. Mr. Xi Yin forbids the generals below to rescue him. How can he still stop you from going on a personal expedition? Didn't you wear armor from the beginning tonight? Is it just a show?
!”
Almost everyone in the courtyard looked at the half-open door, causing a fuss. Even Xiyin was slightly startled.
But soon, Wanyan Xiyin regained his previous calm, natural appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Almost at the same moment, the voice of Little Queen Pei Man sounded again:
"Last time in Yanjing, I was frightened and hid behind you, and I felt ashamed... If you sincerely remember the kindness of the King of Liao in raising you, you can lead the remaining Hezha Meng'an to rescue him!
Not to mention rescuing the King of Liao, even the soldiers in the camp will be inspired by you to gather together!"
Xiyin had long since returned to normal, Qin Hui looked pale, and Zan Lubu was sweating profusely. However, Wulin Dazanmo couldn't help but stepped forward, as if ready to persuade him something.
And almost without stopping for a moment, the little queen Pei Man urged again in the house:
"I just heard clearly that the King of Liao was about to be burned to death, and his eyes were sick. It was like fire and night, and it was difficult to escape... If you dare to go, I will go with you.
...Save if you can, and come back if you can't. That's the advantage of the rebels. Our couple is so good at equestrian skills that we can escape on horseback... At worst, we can just go downstream along the Huangshui River..."
Before he finished speaking, He La, who was wearing armor and holding a knife, suddenly opened the door and appeared in the courtyard again. He took a deep breath, forced to stop his tears, then glanced around, gritted his teeth and said:
"I want to save my eldest uncle myself! This is not the king rescuing his ministers, but my nephew rescuing his uncle! Mr. Xi Yin, I want to take San Bai He to Zha Meng'an!"
"These few hundred khamengan and the several hundred khamengan from His Highness the King of Liao are the last foundation of the country." Wanyan Xiyin's expression was almost indifferent. "In the daytime, with armor and horses, one can be as good as ten, but
In such a chaotic night, it is easy to lose one's life, military discipline and traces... Will Your Majesty and the King of Liao bury the last Hezha Meng'an together?"
"I am the direct grandson of Taizu."
He La was silent for a moment, then summoned up the courage to confront him. "These two He Zha Meng'an are originally the private property of Wan Yan's direct descendants... There is no need for my husband to interfere."
Xiyin nodded, staggered half his position, and then still stood with his hands behind his back in the wind.
The meaning is very simple. If the king wants to die, then he will not stop him, but he will never participate or agree.
The people around him were all uneasy when they saw this situation... Some people were not angry at Wanyan Xiyin's indifference and strength, while others were angry and puzzled by the impulsiveness of the king.
The current situation is that the country has actually collapsed, but the Jurchen Wanyan clan's Great Jin Kingdom can maintain its political system. It depends entirely on the cooperation of the country's leader, Xianggong Xiyin, and the eldest prince Oben to form some kind of symbolic alliance.
.
As for tonight's incident, essentially everyone hopes that the eldest prince will die and not delay the lingering peace talks.
But now, the king is actually trying his best to rescue the eldest prince who is the biggest obstacle to peace talks, and Xi Yin's foundation of his career is that he is a minister and a prime minister, but he actually wants to part ways with the king!
It can be seen from this that the Great Jin Kingdom is really coming to an end!
Wanyan Hela didn't seem to be able to quite understand why Wanyan Xiyin behaved so coldly. The Xiyin in his impression was not like this... But the matter had come to this, and after all he was a king, an eighteen-year-old boy.
, I have a lot of depression in my heart, how can I stop it?
As a result, the man slightly raised his hand to Xi Yin and said, "Please my husband and General Jian Lubu to protect the queen here. I'll come back as soon as I can."
After saying that, Wanyan Xiyin just nodded, and He La couldn't bear it any longer, and directly brought down the knife. Several Mou Ke who were in He Zha Meng'an looked at each other, and finally three people chased him out, but the remaining few people were fighting with Nian Lu.
Complementary, once moved his steps, but in the end he did not follow.
Xiyin, on the other hand, just stared at the other person's back without any extra expression.
As for the little queen Pei Man, she only wore a helmet and wanted to chase her out. However, with a wave of her hand from Wulin Dazanmo, she was directly pushed forward by the chamberlain.
At the moment when Wanyan Hela thought of his Agu fighting his direct grandson, and then wearing armor and going into battle, his uncle, Wanyan Onben, was completely in despair.
"Digunai, let's go!"
The eldest prince, Wanyan Oben, had disheveled hair. He was holding a hot knife in one hand and covering his watering eye with the other. Then he stared at his son with the other eye. "They just want to kill me so that they can negotiate peace.
You are still young and will not be deliberately hunted... Break out from the northwest and take your two brothers to find Pucha Huzhan... He is your brother-in-law's uncle. Although he failed to save me just now, he still
It's believable... I can't leave in this state."
Digunai cried bitterly and hugged his father's arm that was covering his eyes. It took him a long time to regain his composure: "My son can go...but please tell your son...who is he today? My son will have to endure ten things in the future."
For eight years, I still want to avenge my father."
"I don't know either."
Wanyan Oben shook his head after hearing this. "I don't know... it's possible for anyone. There are too many people who want me dead! Everyone wants to negotiate a peace!"
"There's always a guess, right?" Digunai became more and more sad. "You have to let me, the son, have something to think about, right?!"
"Perhaps it was the work of Heshi Liebu, perhaps Talan and Yin Shuke, or maybe it was the civil servants beside the king... Xi Yin, Qin Hui, Wulin Dazanmo... maybe even Hela (guo)
Lord)...it can't be Ma Wu anyway." Oben smiled bitterly. "But once your father dies, you won't be able to touch Xi Yin and He Shilie for the time being. Don't look for anyone to inquire about this matter within ten years. Instead, you should
It was Ma Wu who bit him to death... Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Digunai shed tears and finally let go.
Orben breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Digunai was about to turn around and put on his helmet to break out, he turned around and grabbed his father's arm. Then he stepped forward and bit his own father's ear through the hair. However, because he had been crying for a long time, he could not exert any force, so he only bit
It's just blood.
Oben understood, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and cut off his own ear in his son's mouth. Digunai held his father's ear in his mouth and did not take advantage of the situation to make any blood oath. Instead, he kowtowed repeatedly on the spot.
, then put on his helmet, turned around and broke out with several personal guards toward the northwest empty space left by the opponent.
There, his two young brothers were already waiting.
By the fire, Auben, whose body was covered with blood and black ash, watched his son holding his ear in his mouth and leaving. He breathed a sigh of relief, put on his hot helmet, turned around and rushed towards the village that had not been engulfed by the fire but was surrounded by heavy soldiers.
Directly east, they immediately shouted the name of Yelu Mawu, asking the other party to come and confront him.
What greeted Wanyan Oben was a burst of cheers and a shower of arrows... Obviously, someone on the other side recognized his voice.
But he couldn't care about this at all. He probably estimated that his son had escaped from birth. However, Wanyan Oben turned around again and rushed into the core area of his camp. He looked like a madman and slashed to death two of his own children with a knife.
The younger daughter and several concubines... It was only when he rushed into the room of his wife, Princess Tudan, and found that his wife and Princess Digunai's biological mother had already committed suicide that he finally woke up.
Then, he directly dragged the bedding and silk, and without waiting for the fire to come, he lit a fire in the room. Then he touched his ribs, stabbed his heart hard, endured the severe pain, and raised his head.
His head lay beside the two concubines.
It took only a short time for the fire to completely attack. The last ruling prince of the Jin Kingdom retained one ear and did not turn into ashes.
On the other side, Wanyan Hela rushed out of the core camp where he lived. At first, he was full of heroism and depression. He just wanted to rescue his uncle and then go back to see Wanyan Xiyin and others.
However, the huge camp was full of rioters, looting and killing everywhere. He carried the emperor's flag and led hundreds of people to camp, but no one heard his words and no one could see his flag clearly.
Not only that, the chaos and darkness seriously stimulated and affected his tribe.
People are missing every moment... It may not necessarily be a subjective escape, but more likely a result of confusion and falling behind, or a fork in the road that makes it difficult to turn around, or a sudden encounter with a small group of rebels, and after a hasty fight, you don't know where you are.
.
Wanyan Hela quickly understood the meaning of Xiyin's previous warning, but on the one hand, he was furious, on the other hand, he really wanted to save his uncle, and on the other hand, although the camp was in chaos, Wanyan's place where fire was burning, but
Don't know where to go.
The price for this was that when he approached the burning camp, there were only a hundred people left beside him.
However, even so, because of the identity of the country's leader and the grand declaration, it still caused those 'Khitan thieves' to panic and lose control.
Of course, Hela soon noticed something strange about this so-called Khitan bandit army... And it was similar to Zhen Lubu's reaction before. Although he had already guessed it, after seeing some people in Huo Pang with his own eyes, he
I still felt my scalp was numb, my soles were soft, and I was swaying on my horse for a while.
"It's the king!"
In the chaos, someone turned around in panic, and then found his accomplice. "What should I do? He saw me, and I didn't wear a mask!"
"In this case, we can't be kind this time... We killed Auben, just like the enemy who killed his father... How can we think about it again?!" There was always someone who maintained a kind of cruel calmness. "Tonight is no better than Yan."
It’s Beijing!”
"My son is right."
The other person gritted his teeth, put on his mask, and moved forward to meet him.
"Father, please wait a moment. The son is hiding from his father. Please let the son come and do the regicide for his father!"
The calmer man before took the initiative to grab his father, then took the other's helmet with a mask, got on his horse, and galloped towards him wearing only a light leather armor.
"Lord of the country!"
A moment later, Hela was trying his best to shout out to expel the thieves and promised to put out the fire and forgive the sins. Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him. He looked back and saw the familiar man coming towards him, brandishing a war hammer.
The two sides exchanged horses, and the war hammer used the strength of the horses to hit him with all his strength. Hela hastily used his bow to block it, but he still fell down on the spot.
Immediately, the man walked away in a hurry and disappeared into the night.
In the midst of greater chaos, Hela stared at the retreating figure of that acquaintance, still unable to believe it... But there was no need to believe it... Just when several Hezha Meng'an tried to dismount to save the country's leader, they were already prepared.
Dozens of horsemen swarmed over and dispersed the rescue troops. Several of them, in order, reined in their horses without hesitation, raised the front hooves of the war horse high, and stepped down hard again.
This continued, over and over again, and then he ran away.
Fires are flying, the wind is blowing in all directions, the dust is flying, and the water is flowing.
Before dawn, the Khitan thieves fled upstream shouting the news that they had killed Wanyan Hela and Wanyan Onben.
Starting from dawn, Jin Guozai Wanyan Xiyin waited for many people and news.
First of all, there were He Shilie Taiyu and his son, Wanyan Talan and Wanyan Yinshuke. They brought the "remnants of the headquarters" to join them. These people declared their hard work last night to assist the eldest prince in the battle, and proposed Wanyan Wan
He received the news that he was likely to die in battle, and then asked in a cryptic manner about the whereabouts of the king.
Secondly, a sergeant brought the corpse of the country's leader, Hela... The corpse had been trampled into flesh, and we could only refer to the candidate's armor and certain other characteristics for reference.
In this regard, although Xiyin was silent for a long time, he did not express much sadness and even allowed the first group of people to doubt the corpse.
The one who cried the most was Little Queen Pei Man, and then Wulin Dazammo.
Immediately, the third group of people arrived...This time, the visitors were Digunai, the son of Wanyan Oben, General Pucha Huzhan and their remaining troops.
"I know who did what happened last night!"
The messy Digunai came to the courtyard, took out a human ear from his arms, and placed it next to the body of the king Hela. "My father made this matter clear before he died! Please ask Mr. Xiyin.
Together with the queen and several generals, they will make decisions for me and avenge the king!"
Wanyan Xiyin looked at the other party without saying a word, his eyes full of bloodshot eyes.
He Shilie, Taiyu and his son, Wanyan Talan, and Wanyan Yinshuke also looked at Digunai in silence, waiting for the other party to continue.
"There were many people who killed the king and my father last night, but my father could only identify two people." Wanyan Digunai glanced at everyone in the courtyard, and finally stared at one of them fiercely, with an expression on his face.
The ferocious expression directly caused blood to ooze from the chapped lips. "It should be the prime minister Qin Hui who planned it and incited Yelu Mawu to do it!"
Everyone was stunned.
Even Xiyin was startled.
And Qin Hui was in a daze for a moment before blurting out: "The prince is ridiculous! Why should I kill the king?"
"The officials of the Song Dynasty promised that your position will not be shaken after the peace negotiation, but my father is the biggest obstacle to the peace negotiation, and the leader of the country regards my father as his biological father, and he will never allow peace to be negotiated easily!" Wanyan Digunai answered seriously. "Isn't this enough?
?”
Qin Hui was confused and panicked... He was really panicked... because last night really had nothing to do with him, and even most people should know that it had nothing to do with him.
But the more this happened, and with Wanyan Digunai's determination, Qin Huizhi became more panicked.
Because this means that the other party is suddenly unreasonable and does not give reasons. And once the enemy is unreasonable and does not give reasons, he really does not know what to do.
Seeing Xi Yin, Queen Pei Man, who had been widowed at the age of fifteen, and everyone in the courtyard come to see him, in a panic, Qin Huizhi suddenly made a fatal mistake.
In other words, it was a superimposed fatal mistake... because without this mistake, he would have been fatal today.
"General He Shilie... I was wronged, and you know me!" Qin Hui's chest was beating wildly, he looked directly at He Shilie Taiyu, and bowed his hands in salute.
The latter nodded, but suddenly smiled and shook his head: "Xianggong Qin, you were so skillful in manipulating people's hearts in Yanjing that day, and at that time you persuaded me, Marshal Talan, and Yin Shu to go against the King of Liao.
, but in the end it was difficult to raise again and again... The King of Liao believed that you were a troublemaker before his death, so I'm afraid you were not unjust, right?"
Qin Huizhi was silent for a moment, because after calming down a little, he finally realized what the problem was.
Let's talk about that time in Yanjing, with his keen political sense and strong caution, he successfully escaped from the vortex at the last moment and avoided the same fate as Hong Ya... However, he also hated both the eldest prince and He Shilie at the same time.
At that time, the only alliance he relied on was the Fourth Prince-Xi Yin-the King of the Kingdom. But since the Fourth Prince left south, this intermediate balance alliance has become extremely fragile, so much so that he heard about the Fourth Prince's suicide at that time.
When Fu went south, he was already panicking.
But now, as the situation has completely collapsed, Digunai, who is unable to retaliate against others, or simply does not know who the enemy is, first takes him, a person with a criminal record in the Yanjing Incident,
Moreover, it seems natural that the Han people, who have no fundamental basis, should be targeted for venting and revenge.
"Mr. Xi Yin." Qin Hui found the only person he could count on at this time, or the only person who had the ability to save him. "You also know that I was here all last night, and there is no way I was planning any trouble."
Wanyan Xiyin glanced at the other party calmly, then looked at He Shilie and his son, skipping the corpse of the king, Oben's ears, and the crying little empress Pei Man, and finally stared at Wanyan Xiyin.
Yan Digunai:
"Digunai, after dealing with Qin Huizhi, are you willing to put aside your grudges temporarily and leave as soon as possible?"
"Yes!" Digunai replied with a ferocious smile.
Qin Huizhi is like falling into an ice cave.
"Where are you?" Wanyan Xiyinfu looked at He Shilie and the four others again.
"Yes." He Shilietaiyu glanced at his son, and when he saw the other person nodded slightly, he immediately responded.
"I obviously didn't do it..." Qin Hui knew that he was at the last moment and tried to defend himself. "You are in trouble, why do you blame me?"
"What did the queen say?" Xiyin ignored it and continued to look at the other key person.
Little Empress Pei Man put away her tears and glanced at Xiyin bitterly: "Isn't it your husband who has the final say in the current situation?"
Wanyan Xiyin didn't care, and looked at the others again... Seeing that no one refuted it, it finally fell on Qin Hui.
Qin Hui felt weak all over, and then he knelt down on the ground and begged sincerely: "Mr. Xi Yin... I have served the Kingdom of Jin for several years and I am quite talented. Why would I want to do it for a lie that both you and I know?"
What to do with me?"
"Is this the first day you know how our Jurchens deal with such incidents?" Xiyin smiled slightly self-deprecatingly. "Qin Xianggong... you might as well take advantage of the Zhao Guan family's previous peace negotiation conditions, which made you the Xinjun and not allowed to change.
The words you use to protect yourself!"
"Yes." Qin Hui suddenly realized it, and hurriedly went to see He Shilie and his son like a man who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment. "Everyone... Zhao Guan's family promised me to be the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin for the rest of my life!"
Everyone frowned slightly.
Digunai, on the other hand, became increasingly impatient and pulled out the knife from his waist. Although the people around him were on guard, no one stopped him from approaching Qin Huizhi.
After all, it’s just Qin Hui.
Qin Hui saw Di Gunai coming at him with a white sword, and had no strength to stand up. He was frightened to the extreme for a moment, and was completely in a daze. He felt that his life was ridiculous, but for some reason, when he stood in front of the sword, he actually remembered something, and then raised his head and said sincerely:
"It's all my wife Wang's idea!"
Digunai was startled for a moment, then nodded, and then stabbed Qin Huizhi eighteen or nine times in a row, and stabbed Qin Huizhi eighteen or nine times in a venting manner. Blood spattered all over his body, while the others just stood there.
When I looked there, no one stopped me. Even the little Queen Pei Man showed no unnecessary reaction in front of her husband's miserable corpse.
He didn't know how many times he had been stabbed. Digunai took a few deep breaths, turned around and asked:
"Where is Wang?"
In the silence of the whole courtyard, Xiyin pointed directly in a direction: "It's in the third courtyard on the west side."
Digunai nodded, worked hard to cut off Qin Hui's head, and then carried the other party's head to another courtyard. When he walked to the third courtyard, he asked the guard guard: "Which room is Mr. Qin Xianggong's wife Wang?"
"
The guard was already panicking and reluctantly pointed.
Seeing this, Digunai nodded slightly and went directly to the house. He saw the window was wide open and there was a middle-aged woman sitting in front of the window making trouble, so he asked again:
"But Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Wang?"
Wang instinctively responded, and when she looked up, she saw a head flying towards her. She had already been stunned. When she saw that it was her husband's head, the short man came from the door with a knife and tried to escape through the window.
But how can a woman move freely when she is so frightened?
Digunai immediately stepped forward and pierced the opponent's chest with a knife from his back, but was too lazy to chop more. After resting for a while, he drew his knife and chopped off the opponent's head. Then he tied up the two heads and turned back to the central courtyard.
Put it next to my father's ear.
Others were fine. Xiyin looked at it and immediately urged: "So, maybe we can regroup and hit the road again?"
This time no one said anything.
Since the so-called Qin Xianggong and his wife have turned their backs on the country and nation and relied on the Jurchens for everything, at this point, they are naturally just a bargaining chip for a crazed Jurchen noble to vent their anger.
Who cares about them?
They don't even care.
Back to the present, since Qin Hui and his wife were killed for no reason, Xiyin did not deliberately come to prove that he had murdered the bodies. He just found a Khitan man and asked him to see Yelu Mawu, and asked him to return the sixth prince, Lu Guan, and scolded him...
...Everyone knew very well that this was because Yelv Ma Wu had been so brave for many years, so he asked Ma Wu to give way for a while, so as not to really pursue him and cause Qin Hui and his wife such embarrassment.
Immediately, as if nothing had happened, the only remaining husband gathered his troops, gathered his troops, and desperately urged the exile team to first cross the river to the north, and then turn eastward.
Of course, I couldn't help but make an agreement with everyone to arrive at Huanglong Mansion, discuss the matter of the new king, and seek peace with Nanmian.
Twelve days before and after, the Jin Kingdom was in exile from the imperial court. In the midsummer season of May, they finally crossed the wasteland north of Huangshui and arrived at Huanglong Mansion (today's Changchun area), the heart of the Jin Kingdom.
At this time, the size of the exile team was already smaller than when it left Yanjing.
However, there is another thing that makes some of them feel even more uneasy. That is, as soon as the team arrived at Huanglong, the deceased third prince, the son of Li Duo, was led by Wanyan Wulu, who was just fourteen years old.
The people who stayed behind in Yanbu came to greet him.
It is said that after the death of Nianliduo, his wife believed in Buddhism and was unwilling to remarry according to Jurchen customs, so she returned to Liaoyang to become a monk, and Wanyan Wulu also returned to Liaoyang... Now the Song Dynasty and the Goryeo army are approaching, Liaoyang
As the capital of Liaodong, there was no reason to survive. As a member of the Wanyan family with the most distinguished status outside the Great Wall, it was unusual for him to lead the crowd back to Huanglong Mansion and greet Xi Yin and the others.
However, isn't this Wanyan Oben and Wanyan assassinating each other to death?
Isn't this an agreement to discuss the new king in Huanglong Mansion?
Wanyan Wulu was so ready to work, and showed up so powerfully and at the right time, that Wanyan Digunai, whose power was greatly reduced after his father's death, and the Heshi Lie clan, who had been prepared for it, were both a little uneasy.
This uneasiness soon reached its peak, because there was evidence that Wulu's appearance here, including the timely return of the Jurchen tribe in the southern part of the Great Wall back north, was directly ordered by Xi Yin.
But it was uneasy, but no one dared to resist.
This is because Xiyin himself is recognized as the first wise man who founded the Jurchen Kingdom. He has all kinds of qualifications and prestige. He is also the rightful and highest-ranking person at the moment... He is the only prime minister... and Wanyan's family is far away.
Now that the Wanyan clan has returned to Huanglong Mansion, where the Wanyan clan is powerful, almost no one can resist it.
Not to mention anything else, Wanyan Mouyan, the second son of Wanyan Lou's family and a local hereditary man of Huanglong Mansion, sided with Xiyin without hesitation.
Even back then, Wanyan Lou's family entrusted their planning to Xi Yin, so that they could inherit the hereditary Men'an of Huanglong Mansion.
Therefore, when we arrived at Huanglong Mansion in the afternoon, we had no time to wash our hands or even ask about the situation on the front line. Following Wanyan Xiyin's order, the Jurchen dignitaries outside the Great Wall and the remaining Jurchen dignitaries in Yanjing gathered one after another.
"I have a few words to say."
Wanyan Xiyin didn't even change his clothes, and stood directly in the middle of the hall of the Marching Department of Huanglong Mansion with a smell of sweat, while Wanyan Mouyan stood behind him, like a bodyguard.
The rest of the people, whether they are close or distant clan members of the Wanyan family, such as Talan, Yinshuke, Pu family slaves, or other leaders of the Jurchen tribe, such as the He Shilie family, the Pei Man family, and the Pu family.
The Zha family, the Wulinda family, the Tudan family, the Shimo family, etc., etc. Or the direct generals such as Nian Lubu, Pucha Huzhan, and Jiagu Wulibu who actually survived, all only
Able to sit still and listen.
"Three things."
Wanyan Xiyin's words were concise and to the point. "First thing first...negotiate peace with Song Dynasty. Is there any objection?"
It's not that there were some small tribesmen outside the Great Wall who were ready to make a move, but in the end no one said a word... The peace negotiation was decided at the Battle of Huolu, and as long as there was still a door left in Zhao Guan's house, that was all.
The Yanjing Rebellion and the Huangshui Rebellion were inevitable.
Now that the eldest prince is dead and the king is dead, there is no need to worry about the peace negotiation itself... the peace negotiation has already become a consensus.
"Okay, let's negotiate peace." Xi Yin nodded. "The second thing is actually connected with the peace negotiation... The king died on the road and was killed by the Khitan people. A king must be elected...
Who has any thoughts on choosing the leader of the country?"
"The new king will marry my daughter." The father of the little queen Pei Man said something that was not surprising.
"Okay." Xi Yinli responded calmly. "Is there anything else?"
"My father is the eldest son of Taizu, and I am the eldest surviving son of my father. As the eldest son, it is my turn to succeed him." Wanyan Digun knew that the critical moment had come and stood up to face him without hesitation.
"Not bad." Xiyin nodded and responded. "Is there any suitable candidate?"
"How about Wulu?" Wulin answered Zanmo and pointed out a candidate who was not inferior. "Although Digunai is the eldest son of Taizu... But Wulu's background is not bad, and he often lives outside the Great Wall.
Bidigunai is more familiar with the local situation."
Xiyin nodded immediately: "Okay."
"I will not take Pei Man's daughter." At this moment, Wulu's face suddenly turned red. "I have an appointment with the daughter of the Wulin family."
Everyone sneered, and Wulin Zanmo was even more confused for a moment... He really didn't know about this.
"We can establish two concubines or queens." Xiyin put an end to the matter with one sentence. "Are there any other candidates?"
"The country is in turmoil, why not establish an elder?" Yin Shuke suddenly sneered and interrupted. "How about attacking Marshal Lazy? He is Taizu's cousin."
Everyone looked at each other in shock...many people actually hesitated for a moment, even Ta Lalan was a little confused and dazed...it didn't seem impossible.
"He who wants to claim his father's title to the official family of Zhao Song must also marry Pei Man... not over twenty years old." Xiyin stopped the new commotion with just one sentence, and then looked at the person in front of him casually. "But.
Are there any other suitable candidates?”
The person who was noticed was He Shilie Taiyu. When he heard this, his heart moved slightly, and because he was unwilling to do so, he asked, "How is my son Lou's room?"
"Liangbi?" Someone immediately reacted violently. "Of course the ruler of the country is the Wanyan family, how can Liangbi do it?"
"I think it's okay." Before the argument could start, Xiyin, who was standing in the middle of the hall, interrupted those people impatiently. "After repeated repetitions, the six major departments are no longer the situation where Wanyan clan conquered the other five departments in one fell swoop...
…It’s just a backup option for now, why not?”
"I still feel it's inappropriate." Unlike before, this time someone immediately expressed their opposition, including Xiyin's long-term ally Wulin Zanmo. "When the country has reached this point, it is only right to demand stability and rashly transfer the national unification.
It will cause chaos in itself... Mr. Xiyin should consider this."
Xiyin was silent for a moment and asked again: "Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand? Who told you that it is me or you who decides the country's leader?"
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and many people felt a little moved in their hearts, and then they realized something.
"I just said that this matter is connected with the peace negotiation." Xiyin explained seriously. "The country has suffered a complete defeat, and it wants to negotiate for peace to survive, but when the country's leader is absent, the person who decides on the choice of the country's leader is of course the one
Zhao Songguan's family waiting on Juhua Island...why do you think we made the agreement here?"
There was still silence in the hall.
"The choice of Liangbi is just to prevent Zhao Guanjia Wan Yizhi from having any ideas and insisting on nominally destroying Dajin at home and abroad. Only by replacing the national leader with someone other than the Wanyan family can he feel comfortable." Xiyin continued calmly.
Explain. "I would like to say, not only this, but if someone changes the big gold to big tin, big lead, or big copper, you must also be prepared...
"At that time, Liu Yu, Fu Liang and those who rebelled against the Song Dynasty in Huining Mansion will be tied up as gifts, and the remaining gold and beads will be sent together... If Qin Hui is alive, he will also be tied up.
Sent over...
"Then send three of them over and let the official choose!
Only in this way can complete surrender be expressed, and everyone in the Song Dynasty feel that Jingkang's humiliation has been avenged, and the peace negotiation can be successful."
"What if that official wanted to kill us and just chopped the three of us into pieces?" Yin Shuke seemed to sense a hint of danger and couldn't help but refute.
"Chop it, chop it. Isn't it worth summoning three and a half-year-old children to find out the true attitude of Zhao Song's official family towards us?" Xiyin glanced at Yin Shuke and passed over three candidates, including Liangbi's personal successor.
The student looked increasingly tired. "And besides, he won't really chop it...
"Although I am stupid, I can still guess that with that official's intelligence and temperament, he may change his name and system, but he will never really destroy us...
"Because in the northern part of Liaodong, there are more than 200 Jurchens alone, and they have countless girls, and he can't kill them all... Therefore, it is necessary to establish a Jurchen country, no matter what the name is, it is a Jurchen country anyway, as if he has to pinch it
Setting up a Khitan Autonomous Road to appease the Khitan people is like ridiculing people...
"What's more, here outside the Great Wall, Mongols, Khitans, Xi people, Bohai people, Koreans, and Jurchens must maintain a balance outside the Great Wall. One family cannot dominate. The already declining Jurchens are inevitable for him and the Song Dynasty.
One of utility.”
After saying this, Xiyin suddenly felt a little shaky, perhaps because he was too tired. The other Jurchen dignitaries in the room started talking about it, but they didn't know how to refute it.
"If there is no objection, let the three of them go to see Zhao Guan's house... is that okay?" Xiyin's breath gradually became thicker, and he seemed to be getting more impatient.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to achieve such a big thing overnight, but it is obvious from the reaction, whether it is the Yanjing returnee who is afraid of being beaten, or the Jurchen tribe leader who originally cared more about "a Jurchen country anyway" outside the Great Wall...
No one has any special opposition, or those who have opposition do not have the corresponding opposition strength and courage.
Therefore, after waiting for a while and seeing that the matter was about to pass, Xiyin raised his voice again and said: "The third thing hasn't been said yet!"
Wanyan Mouyan patted his weapon impatiently, causing the hall to become quiet again.
"The third thing." Xiyin's tone suddenly calmed down again, but for some reason, his breath became thicker. "No matter what, I brought the remnants of the Great Jin Kingdom back from Yanjing... maybe nothing is left.
There may be something else...but it doesn't matter, I brought it back to Huanglong Mansion! I brought it back...I brought it back!"
Everyone was confused for a moment because this didn't sound like the same thing.
But soon, they understood each other's meaning.
After Xiyin said this, without saying a word and with a calm expression, he directly pulled out the saber from Wanyan Mouyan's waist behind him, and then without any extra words or reaction, he directly cut the arteries in his neck.
Everyone was stunned, blood gushed out like a fountain, but Xi Yin, the initiator of the figurines, threw away his sword without saying a word, staggered back to the seat behind him, and then remained motionless.
After a moment, the first person to react was Heshi Lieliangbi, Xiyin's student and one of the three candidates for the head of the country this time.
He rushed out of his seat and threw himself beside Xi Yin. While he instinctively tried to cover the other person's wounds, his mind was filled with only one thought... That's why? Why did his teacher want to die?
Why?
Countless thoughts flashed through Liangbi's mind: the country had fallen, the lord died, the Wanyan clan lost its dominant position as Jurchens, and personally arranged humiliation and sued for peace, the lord died suddenly on the road, and the system reform collapsed after many years, and the student he trusted and liked most did
The villain who plotted to kill the king...
I can remember so many things that I can't even count them all at once.
Each one seems to be a reason to commit suicide, but each one seems not enough.
Because we have already reached this point!
Just like what Xiyin said personally, he has returned to Huanglong Mansion. He has already returned to Huanglong Mansion!
Got through everything!
The helplessness of falling short of success, the despair of harvesting a deer, the collapse of the country, the easily provoked barbaric internal strife... I have survived everything.
There is no need to die!
However, this teacher committed suicide so decisively and quickly after arriving at Huanglong Mansion!
There was no hesitation at all, even a little impatient.
Why?
Full of doubts and confusion, this was the first reaction of Liangbi and everyone present.
But soon, unlike others, suddenly, as Heshi Lieliangbi realized that he could not cover the opponent's wound, and realized that the spurting of his teacher's blood could not be controlled at all, and that half of his body had been dyed red,
At the same time, he noticed something equally uncontrollable emerging from his chest and rushing directly to his nose and eye sockets.
Then, he began to cry wildly in the blood while holding the teacher in his arms while the whole hall was stunned.
In May of the tenth year of Jianyan's reign, Wanyan Xiyin, who had no reason to die, suddenly died.
