Jin Kangzong's name was Wanyan Wuyashu, the elder brother of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda, and the former head of the Jurchen capital of Wanyan Aguda.After his death, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda came to the throne.

That is to say, Wan Yanchang's wife is the niece of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda and Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai, and the two families can be said to be more relatives.

Of course, this alone is not enough. After all, the nobles of the Wanyan family are all relatives, so why does Wanyan Wu beg for money to believe that Wanyanchang will be more loyal to him?

It turns out that Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai was around three years old, and was fostered in the family of Jin Muzong Wanyanying brother, which is equivalent to the adopted son of Wanyanying brother. He and Wanyanchang got along very well since they were young, like biological brothers Generally intimate.

Wanyanchang was naturally happy to see Wanyan Wu begging to be enthroned as emperor, but although his status was respected, his strength in the army was still weak.Before replacing Wanyan Hunchu as the commander of Xiliu Road, he was only in the army to seek victory.

Don't say that compared with Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyanchang's qualifications and prestige in the army are not as good as Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Yinshuke and other generals.

Therefore, although Wanyan Chang is loyal to Wanyan Wu Qimai, the support he can give him at this time is far from enough.

Wanyan Wu Qimai had no choice but to distribute more power to the powerful factions in the army, and he gave the empty name Xuantou and the silver medal to Wanyan Shigunai, the commander of the Shangjing Road, and Wanyanpo Luhuo, the commander of the Taizhou Army. Waiting for veteran generals in the military.

For the Central Plains Dynasty, the emperor's move to distribute the appointment of officials from various places to local powerful factions was inconceivable.

But for the Dajin Kingdom at this time, it is not so abrupt and strange.

The Jin Kingdom has not been established for a long time, and it still retains many characteristics of tribal alliance rule.

The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin was originally the leader of the tribal alliance, and he did not have absolute imperial power. He gathered all the ministries based on his personal prestige and strength.

Conversely, the ministries retain a great deal of autonomy.

This series of moves by Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begging for money is equivalent to another balance of power in the Jurchen tribal alliance.

After appeasing the local power faction, Wanyan Wu Qimai had to face the older sons left behind by his elder brother Wanyan Aguda.

The elder brother Wanyan Aguda has the feeling of passing on the throne, and several nephews such as Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zongjun also have the merit of supporting him. Wanyan Wu begging for money must also give the Aguda family a corresponding return.

So after ascending the throne, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai let Wanyan Aguda's eldest son Wanyan Zongqian stay in the capital with his cousin Wanyan Sagai and his fourth brother Wanyan Xie to assist the government together and become the chief minister.

At the same time, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai let Wanyan Aguda's eldest son Wanyan Zongjun continue to serve as Hezha Meng'an, in charge of the imperial palace guards.

With such an arrangement, the two rising stars of the Aguda family can be regarded as controlling the military and political power in the capital of the Kingdom of Jin to a certain extent.

At this time, when Wanyan's mother attacked Pingzhou, she fought with Zhang Juejun on Rabbit Ear Mountain east of Pingzhou, but she was outnumbered and suffered a big defeat.

After Wanyan Wu Qimai learned that Wanyan's mother was defeated, he ordered Wanyan Zongwang to go to Guangning Mansion in Yingzhou to inquire about Wanyan's mother's crime, and at the same time took over his army, and continued to fight against the traitors in Pingzhou with his soldiers. Zhang Jue.

Wanyan Zongwang showed his military talent of running thousands of miles and defeating the crowd with the few in the battles against Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Kingdom in Xijing and the capture of Juyongguan in Yanjing. He was a rising star in the Jin army.

Wanyan Wu Qimai decided to support Wanyan Zongwang and increase his strength and prestige in the Jin army in order to check and balance the dominant Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zongwang politely refused the emperor's appointment, saying that Wanyan's mother was his uncle, so how could he replace him as commander in chief.

Seeing this, Wanyan Wu was begging to buy, but he couldn't force it, so he had to change a bit, and appointed Wanyan Zongwang as the supervisor of Wanyan's mother's army, and was responsible for leading the army to attack Zhang Jue.

This arrangement not only took into account Wanyan's mother's feelings, fulfilled Wanyan Zongwang's respect for the elders, but also actually transferred the military power to Wanyan Zongwang's hands.

After Wanyan Zongwang arrived in Wanyan's mother's army, he immediately regrouped and led his troops to attack the coastal counties controlled by Zhang Jue in Pingzhou and Yingzhou.

At this time, Zhang Jue, who defeated Wanyan's mother's army in Tuer Mountain, sent his brother Zhang Qi to report victory to the Song Dynasty.After Xiao Qian's defeat and Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi's defeat by the Jin army again, Zhang Jue, who was sitting on the fence, had decided to completely surrender to the Song Dynasty.

Song Huizong in Bianliang City, Tokyo, was overjoyed after receiving Zhang Jue's good news. He believed that Zhang Jue's army was able to defeat the Jin army, and it was really a rare armed force.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty decided to officially accept Zhang Juejun, changed Pingzhou to Taining Army, changed Macheng, a county of Luanzhou, to Ancheng Prefecture, and Shicheng to Linguan, and incorporated them into the territory of the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty appointed Zhang Jue as the military governor of Taining Army, who inherited Pingzhou.His subordinates Zhao Renyan, Zhang Jun, Zhang Dungu and others were all promoted to Huiyou Pavilion.He also ordered Wang Anzhong, the appeasement envoy of Yanshan Mansion, to reward Zhang Jue's army in Pingzhou with tens of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of pieces of silk.

Among the officials of the Song Dynasty, there were actually many people who opposed the acceptance of Zhang Jue.

Taiwei Tong Guan commanded the battle on the front line and had more contact with the Jin and Liao armies. He knew the strength of the Jin army and did not want to offend the Jin country.Therefore, he is not in favor of taking over Pingzhou and offending Jin Guo.

However, Song Huizong, Prime Minister Wang Fu, and other princes in Bianliang City, Tokyo, are all people who sit and talk about Taoism, so how can they understand the danger in this.

Under the instigation of Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, Gao Qiu and others, Song Huizong was displeased with Tong Guan's failure to defeat the Liao army to recover Yandi, and spent a lot of money from the court. How could he listen to Tong Guan's advice!

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Tong Guan had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and ignored the matter.

Zhao Liangsi, who served as the transshipment envoy of Yanshan Fulu, strongly advised not to accept Zhang Jue, which offended Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. He was dismissed from his post and demoted to Chenzhou.

After killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, who in the court would dare to stop the emperor from expanding his territory and establishing an unworldly feat?

Chapter 862

Zhao Liangsi was demoted five ranks in a row to Chenzhou, which was actually a manifestation of Taiwei Tongguan temporarily falling out of favor in front of the imperial court.

After all, Zhao Liangsi was brought back from the Liao Kingdom by the Taiwei Tong Guan. He has been in charge of the alliance with the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty under Tong Guan's command these years, and he has been one of Tong Guan's main staff for negotiating with the Jin Kingdom.

This reprimand of Zhao Liangsi also revealed the imperial court's dissatisfaction with Tong Guan's command of hundreds of thousands of troops but failed to defeat the Liao army and take back Yandi.

In the eyes of Song Huizong, Prime Minister Wang Fu and others, the imperial court's decision to attack Liao Dynasty was wise and correct.However, because Tong Guan, Zhao Liangsi and others were unfavorable in their affairs, they lost consecutive battles in the military and retreated step by step in the negotiations. This led to the occupation of Yanjing City by the Jin army, and the imperial court took back Yanjing at a high price.

Even so, Song Huizong regretted that Pingzhou and Yingzhou could not be taken back as he wished.

Now that Zhang Jue took the initiative to betray the gold and offered up the land of Pingzhou and Yingzhou, this was a godsend opportunity. Tong Guan, Zhao Liangsi and others actually opposed accepting Zhang Jue because they were afraid of the Jin people?

What is their intention?

Because Taiwei Tong Guan's words were tactful, Song Huizong couldn't directly say that Tong Guan was wrong, so he could only vent his anger on Zhao Liangsi, who insisted on his own opinion.

So, Zhao Liangsi had only been a hero of Fuyan for a few days, and was kicked by the emperor to Chenzhou, a remote place with high mountains and dense forests, and became a useless abandoned son.

After Zhao Liangsi rebelled from Liao to Song Dynasty, he worked hard for more than ten years and worked tirelessly for the plan of Song Dynasty to restore Yan, but now he ended up being dumped and killed. It's all chilled out.

Zhao Liangsi, who was extremely disappointed with the imperial court, packed his luggage in desperation and prepared to leave the sad city of Bianliang, Tokyo.

Just before his departure, Lu Xiaoyi, the big brother of the mafia in Bianliang City, Tokyo, made a special trip to visit Zhao Liangsi.

Lu Xiaoyi straight to the point told Zhao Liangsi that brother Ximenqing asked him to see Xueshi Zhao off.

Lu Xiaoyi told Zhao Liangsi that brother Ximenqing had expected Zhao Liangsi's fate in Yanggu County, and specially asked him to come to Bianliang City in Tokyo to send a message to Zhao Liangsi, asking Zhao Liangsi to take care of his useful body, and if there is any danger in the future You can take refuge in Ximenbao, Yanggu County.

Zhao Liangsi was shocked and asked, "I don't know what kind of crisis Ximen Qing is talking about?"

Lu Xiaoyi replied: "Brother Ximen said that the time has not come, so we can't reveal the secret, and only said that this matter is related to Xueshi Zhao's plan to unite the Jin Dynasty against the Liao Dynasty.

All in all, brother Ximen asked me to send a few brothers to Chenzhou to settle down and secretly protect the bachelor.

If there is a change in the future, as long as the scholar is willing, my brother can safely escort the scholar to Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture. "

Zhao Liangsi had seen Ximenqing's methods a long time ago, so he couldn't believe what Lu Xiaoyi said.

After Zhao Liangsi betrayed his family and took refuge in the Song Dynasty, he had no relatives or reasons in the Song Dynasty, and had nothing to rely on.

Now that he was abandoned by the court, even the old master Tong Guan was afraid of His Majesty the Emperor and dared not take care of Zhao Liangsi any more, which made Zhao Liangsi lose his backing and became a lonely family in the Song Dynasty.
