Chapter 126 Shangjing Wind and Cloud
When Zhao Heng was silently praying, the huge war machine of the entire Song Dynasty had already begun to operate for a long time. A few days later, after he and Yu Yunwen and others decided to make a plan for the entire war, one order after another was issued by the Sect Court following the emperor's edict, first the commander of each army, and then the commander of each division.
While the Song army was preparing for this war in great enthusiasm, the Jin Kingdom's reaction was slow, or there was no corresponding reaction at all.
The Song Dynasty prepared for political reform, which triggered a huge turbulent intelligence, which had just been passed on to Shangjing.
Faced with the possible civil strife in the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom naturally celebrated and was very happy.
In fact, the Jin lord and faction headed by Wanyan Zongfu was most afraid of Zhao Huan, who seemed to be completely unscrupulous. If Wanyan Chang and others wanted to control the government and were greedy for peace and wealth, Wanyan Zongfu saw the terrible part of Zhao Huan on the battlefield of Fuping and Huangguan. He was deeply wise. Although he was not on the battlefield, he had a rare talent in politics. In addition, he was steady and self-supported by Jurchen nobles. He Tuo, who had just succeeded the throne, also respected this uncle very much.
In this way, the peacekeepers had firmly grasped the development of the situation and also made contributions to Zhao Huan's resumption of the war that began in the second half of the sixth year of Jingkang.
The upper class of the Jin Kingdom was also extremely happy in the political changes caused by Zhao Huan himself in the seventh year of Jingkang.
If the Song Dynasty had internal turmoil, Zhao Huan could naturally be forced to suppress it. However, in this way, it would inevitably lead to an inexplicable change within the Song Dynasty, and as long as the Jin Dynasty seized this change, attacked the Song army on the local battlefield, and made more efforts in politics and diplomacy, the goal of the two countries to negotiate peace with a formal contract will definitely be achieved.
Wanyan Zongfu ranked fifth. Among the many sons of Taizu, the fourth son Wanyan Zongwang was the most popular, and he was indeed far superior to ordinary people in the literature and martial arts. Like Wanyan Zonghan, he was a rare hero in the Jurchen clan. It can be said that in the battle of Taizu of Jin to destroy Liao, Wanyan Zongwang, Zonghan, Wanyan Loushi and others were the real generals and made great achievements.
Among the current Jurchen nobles, Zong Fu was politically talented and generals were not his strengths, while Zong Bi was good at commanding and tutoring on local battlefields. The overall situation was mainly warfare and was extremely reckless. He suffered a lot of losses in history and suffered many major defeats. As for Zong Han, he was old and it was difficult to manage military and political affairs anymore. The son of Taizu's brother Ying Gedi, the left deputy marshal, and King Wanyan Chang of Lu were just a fierce general. At this time, he was already arrogant and degenerate. He was determined to discuss peace and enjoyment, and the rest of Zong Pan, Zong Jun, Zong Jun and others followed him. The power of the masters was so powerful that he even excluded Zong Bi, who was determined to fight, and went to Qizhou, Hebei to set up the Shangshu Xingtai to preside over military affairs. Alongside Zong Bi, he arranged for the surveillance of the wing king Wanyan Gulan and others to prevent him from rioting.
At the end of March and early April of the seventh year of Jingkang, even Guanzhong was covered with new greenery, and the spring was warm. The Jin Dynasty's Shangjing was still cold and the cold air was overwhelming. In this era, there were few traces of Han people who were rarely seen in the northeast land. Generally, Han officials who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty lived in Shangjing, which was naturally a kind of honor, and this bone-broken cold made it difficult for ordinary Han people to absorb.
In Wanyan Zongfu's mansion, there was no cold and cold air like Wanyan Chang and others. Zongfu was not as greedy for pleasure as Wanyan Chang and others. However, after all, it was the deputy marshal and the kings of the mansion, so there were naturally some people who flattered the mansion. In recent years, the mansions of the kings of the clan have become larger and larger, and the decorations have become more exquisite and beautiful. Zongfu does not value luxury, but the mansion is built firmly and thickly, like a military fortress. Many places in the mansion have built fire pits and earth dragons. The windows are mostly built with mezzanines, which can be used to draw light and avoid cold. At this time, the weather was already very warm for the Jurchens who were born in Mutianxidi. Zongfu knew that most Han officials were afraid of the cold, and he was powerful, so in the various houses where the officials were waiting to be summoned, they ordered people to light a brazier and burn a fire pit so that the Han officials would not have to catch a cold when they waited.
Since Zong Fu took over the power, because the new king of the state was young, he could not manage the government at all. Most of the major national policies fell into his hands. Since Zong Fu suffered a great mental loss after the defeat of Huangguan, he returned to Shangjing with a sick illness, and then forced himself to manage the national policies. In the past two years, many of the strategies against Zhao Huan were also given by other places. As for the major issues of peace talks, the establishment of an intelligence agency corresponding to the pedestrian department was mostly his manager.
In his early years, the Jurchens lived in the sky and fishing and hunting. Although their bodies were strong, they were mostly difficult to live long, even the Jurchen nobles. After Zong Fu suffered a great loss in his health, he had actually reached the point where he had exhausted his body for the clan's plan in recent years. By the seventh year of Jingkang and March of the first year of Tianjuan, Zong Fu's health was already difficult. The more severe his illness, the more serious the open and secret struggles surrounding him became.
By April of the seventh year of Jingkang, Zong Fu had already reported several critical illness. At this time, not only many forces from all sides sent people to visit him, but also made a personal trip to Zong Fu's mansion to visit him many times. In this way, Zong Fu's illness was severe and difficult to cure, and it became a well-known fact.
Zong Fu himself naturally couldn't afford it. He was young, and Zong Han claimed to be old and did not fight for many years. However, he also received the title of Marshal of the Shangshu Xingtai National Congress. Compared with fighting for power on the battlefield, the ulterior motives of this King Nianhan mentioned by the Song people really made him feel uneasy.
In addition, although the Song people were in trouble in politics, Zong Bi's sense of smell had long been aware that the way forward was wrong, and wrote letters many times to ask Zong Fu and others to pay attention to it. Although Zong Fu did not like Zong Bi's restraint, he also knew that Zong Bi was the most relied on military talent in the royal family and attached great importance to his judgment. So on the occasion of the dying of the king of Zheng Zong, all kinds of people in the room, with all kinds of different thoughts, were waiting for him to make decisions that could affect the course of history at the last moment of his life.
Zong Han had a special status and was afraid of his confidant Han official. Shangshu Xingtai Zuo Cheng Gao Qingyi came to visit Zong Fu. Zong Fu treated him differently from others. He was actually forced to be sick and half tilted on the bed. He said to Gao Qingyi with gentle words: "I must not afford it, and I can't stand it for a few days. When I go back, I will report to your king. After I go, he will do it well."
He said this vaguely. Zong Han was just the nephew of Taizu. He neither belonged to the camp of Taizu's brothers nor did he obey Taizong. In addition, he had great military achievements and was also one of the candidates who knew Banbo very strongly. Zong Fu was about to die at this time, but he asked Zong Han how to "do it well?" He left Gao Qingyi but did not think so much. Or he did not notice Zong Fu's expression, but he replied to Zong Fu with excitement: "The king's body has always been healthy, but now he is just a little cold! When the weather is warmer, he will definitely improve. As for my marshal, his body is also weak, and I am afraid he will not do anything."
He said this, he was already decent, and Zong Fu stared at him with a little relaxed a little. Unexpectedly, he heard him continue: "But I often advise the king that although the emperor Taizu in the world is obtained, the descendants of the royal family have the responsibility to maintain the success. When the son is young today, how can the king ignore foreign affairs?"
"Okay, you are indeed loyal!"
Zong Fu was breathing heavily and praised Gao Qingyi for a few words. When the person quit, Zong Fu lay down weakly. He felt his whole body sore. He swept the people under the bed, but then he tried to sit up.
He forced a smile and said to a Han official in a red robe: "Super Han Xian, you come to visit me too. This is so thoughtful."
Han Qi was first Zong Bi's confidant, and Zong Fu was critically ill. Zong Bi felt that the Song army was acting strangely and did not dare to leave the station in Hebei for arbitrarily, so he sent others to come. Zong Bi was not relieved and had to send this confidant. Han Qi was first the ninth generation grandson of the famous Han Zhigu, a famous Han official. He was originally an official in Liao. He was defeated by Liao and was a Jin. He was a clean, upright and honest person. He was also from a great family and had a great prestige. Even the Jurchen kings such as Zong Fu called this person "virtuous minister". Send him to come, which was more suitable than the ordinary Jurchen nobles.
Han Qixian was not as comfortable as others, and he said nothing. Although he served in a foreign race, he was indeed a more traditional Confucian minister. Seeing Zongfu's support, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't be polite to me. If you have any instructions, just say it while lying down. No matter what, I will definitely live up to the entrusted king, and Your Highness Shen will definitely not."
His words were said without any intention of avoiding the other party, and he treated the other party as a dead person. There were many Han officials in the seat. When he heard him speak like this, he couldn't help but shake his head and frown.
Zong Fu didn't care, and Wanyan Chang and others were also not concerned at all. On the contrary, compared with those Han officials with gorgeous words, Han Qixian, who rarely modified his own meaning, made these Jurchen men think that he was an anomaly among the Han people, knowledgeable, and had the same character as Jurchen people, and was straightforward and honest.
Zong Fuhara wanted to laugh, but just said "hehe" twice, lit up with Korean Qi and said first:
"Xian Xiangzhen regards me as a dead person!"
He was determined to sit up and speak, and his waist was thrust, and his originally thin body was very majestic in the blink of an eye.
It’s a pity that the person who is dying for a long time has no strength, and he is already coughing and asthma when he just thrust his waist.
After the servants rushed forward and settled Zongfu back, Zongfu sighed and said to Han Qi first: "Go, what should you do with your king? I have written a book by myself, and you will bring it back."
"Yes, then I will give up."
Han Qi first knew that Zong Fu must have important matters entrusted to the kings of the clans in front of him, and it was not suitable for him as a Han minister, so he immediately stood up and bowed to Zong Fu for his resignation.
He seemed to be unfamiliar with ancient wells, but when he was about to leave the room, he finally sighed and then paused.
"Korean Qi first, and there are consciences."
