Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

Zhongdu.

With the support of a group of loyal and patriotic veterans and hundreds of thousands of people in Zhongdu, Wanyanxu chose an auspicious day to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven.

During the ceremony, Wanyanxu continued to be humble, and said repeatedly: "The death of the father and the emperor is a misfortune for the country. However, uncles and brothers are all alive. If you are elected as a sage, how can Wanyanxu be able to take this great position?"

So resign but not accept.

Of course, this resignation and repeated pushback are also part of the ceremony, which means that Wan Yanxu did not intend to seize the throne, but did it out of necessity, hoping to block the mouths of the world with this. After all, Wan Yanxu Yan Hongxu is also Wan Yanxu's nominal uncle, the king of the Jin Kingdom has been on the throne for more than a hundred years, brothers die and brothers die, father dies and sons succeed, all of which are orthodox.

Although Wan Yanxu said so, the elders and ministers can't take it for granted, let alone Wanyan Hongxu and his son who fled the city one after another. The eldest son is also the heir appointed by Emperor Zhang Zong during his lifetime. He will succeed as the king of the Jin Kingdom and lead the overall situation, which is justified.

The elders and ministers rushed to stand up, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the people cannot be without a master for a day. The matter of enthronement should be done sooner rather than later. For today's plan, I would like to invite you." Your Majesty puts the country, the country, and the common people as the most important thing, and only by assuming the throne early can he preside over the overall situation in a legitimate way."

Among them, all civil and military officials headed by Wanyan Chenghui knelt in front of the altar, respectfully asked Wanyan Xu to ascend the throne, and shouted in unison: "I am grateful to the kindness of the former emperor, and your majesty is virtuous. I am willing to do my best. Dare to have his picture?"

After a few times, it fully proved that Wanyan Xu was popular and supported by all people, but Wanyan Xu refused, so he put on a reluctant look and inherited the great rule.

"Grandfather Sijue, exposed to frost and dew, cut thorns and thorns, to have a sizeable land, the Great Jin Kingdom has been passed down for a hundred years, and the emperor's grandfather handed over the world to me. I should work hard and live up to the people of the world and the common people. .”

"Your Majesty's benevolence is admired by all people. May God bless me with great gold, and the country will last forever!"

In this way, Wanyan Xu ascended the throne under the support of a few veterans and important officials and hundreds of thousands of people in Zhongdu. The first thing Wanyan Xu did when he ascended the throne for the first time was to rectify his name: "I am... The blood of the emperor, and enthroned by the imperial decree of the previous emperor, how can there be rumors of rebellious officials and thieves? The words of the emperor are not afraid of small slanders, and I will spread the decree to the world.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, the whole world was shocked.

After Wanyan Chuo received the news, he couldn't help chuckling. It was known at a glance that it was Wanyan Chenghui's handwriting. It was called Amnesty, and it was actually a way to buy people's hearts. This move could indeed stabilize the hearts of the army and the people to a certain extent. More importantly, with this decree, it is equivalent to giving Yelu Liuge and Yelu Yujian a reassurance, making them follow the new master Wanyanxu even more wholeheartedly.

Wanyan Xu is worthy of being a wise emperor. Not long after he succeeded to the throne, he immediately carried out a series of reforms in Zhongdu in an orderly manner.

First of all, send envoys to the south to quickly restore relations with Song State, and at the same time send envoys to the west to facilitate an alliance between Jinxia and Xia as soon as possible. Do everything possible to stabilize these two neighboring countries, and do not let them talk to Wo Kuo in private Taiwan and Khan colluded together, making the Dajin Kingdom beset by enemies.

Secondly, increase the punishment of treacherous party members, especially deserters and rebels like Mo Nian Jinzhong. It is not too much to kill them directly after being caught. What is the use of high-ranking officials and rich salary to support these generals who are greedy for life and fear of death?In this matter, Wan Yanxu fully agrees with Prince Rong's iron-blooded determination, fleeing before the battle, the law should be strict, slandering and loyal, such traitors who harm the country and the people, are directly killed on the spot after being caught, and take the leader The level was hung on the city wall for a whole hundred days, just to warn others.

Then, Wan Yanchuo also issued an edict to set up Jingzhong temples for the generals and soldiers who died in the Anti-Mongolian War, enjoy incense and sacrifices, and more importantly, commend and reward those who have made meritorious service, and promote their ranks, just like when they guarded the Zijing Pass before. Tu Danyi, who made a heroic sacrifice, was commended vigorously, and even the Tudan clan also enjoyed the honor and favor. For a while, the scenery was unparalleled.

In the end, Wanyan Xu overcame all opinions and decreed that all the generals of the Kingdom of Jin who surrendered to Mongolia, as long as they were able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and those who lost their way and found their way back, they would not blame the past and their official titles would remain the same after their return.As soon as this most controversial article was promulgated, it immediately caused an uproar, and there were many voices of opposition in the court, but Wan Yanxu insisted on it, in order to unite all available manpower and material resources to help Jin Guo overcome the current difficulties.

After the change of dynasty, the soldiers and civilians in Zhongdu also had a backbone, and the tense atmosphere eased a little.

Wanyanxu's series of reforms have aroused many voices of doubt and denial, and some sour literati even wrote impassioned articles to criticize, saying that Wanyanxu's reforms are completely self-defeating.

Gossip and gossip did not defeat Wanyan Xu, but gave Wanyan Xu the motivation to face difficulties.

People in the Central Capital were already in a state of panic, and it was inevitable that the situation would escalate further. A senior official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are rumors and gossips everywhere in the Central Capital, and the people mistakenly believe the rumors. It’s a terrible disaster.”

"In Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, slandering the present is disrespectful, and should be punished, so as to uphold the hearts of the army and the people."

Wanyan Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and turned to look at Wanyan Chenghui who was at the side, and saw that the other party was shaking his head slightly, so he calmed down and said with a light smile: "Ai Qing is too worried, the world will rise and fall, everyone Responsibility, now that the country is facing a crisis, we should unite the people and fight against Mongolia with aspirations, but just talking about government affairs, just to brainstorm, it’s okay!"

The ancient sages have said that defending the mouth of the people is better than defending Sichuan. Everyone understands the truth, but there are not many monarchs who can really do it!Wan Yanxu thinks he is not a mediocre master who will not listen to any unkind advice. If the common people want to discuss government affairs, let them go.

As soon as this trend broke out, Wan Yanxu's reputation rose instead of falling in the hearts of the common people in Zhongdu.

It is said that there are three fires for a new official to take office, one for the emperor and one for the courtiers. The new king should be cleaned up no matter what, let's have a big change of blood. Who knows that Wanyan Xu didn't do that at all, but instead opened up his mouth. No matter if they are veterans or important officials or ordinary people, anyone with ability can discuss government affairs in the market. Even if Wanyan Xu knew about it, he let it go and did not stop him.On the contrary, if he heard some good advice, Wanyan Xu would actively invite people into the palace to sit and discuss the Tao, so as to recruit talents.

"The state affairs are corrupted, and the people should be allowed to speak out about political affairs."

These are the original words of Wan Yanxu, such a wise ruler who is diligent in governing and loving the people, and has such a broad mind and tolerance, how can he not be admired by all people and loved by the people.

The 20 troops commanded by Wokuotai Khan were about to reach the city of Zhongdu. Wanyanxu called together a few senior ministers and advisers who had followed him for a long time to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy in the main hall. Policy.

"The enemy is at present, and this battle is related to the survival and continuation of our Dajin Kingdom. There is no room for negligence and mistakes." Speaking of this, Wanyan Xu was keenly aware of everyone's panic and depression, even his own mood. It is extremely heavy, but even so, as the king of a country, he still has to stand up and preside over the overall situation: "About the guard of Zhongdu City, do you have a suitable candidate?"

The courtiers in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay. For a moment, they couldn't think of anyone who could stand up at the critical moment and turn the tide. Perhaps the son of Prince Rong could take on this important task. Unfortunately, the distant water could not save the near fire.

At the critical moment, it was Wanyan Chenghui who spoke at the right time, and said with a smile: "Don't you remember, Your Majesty? General Wanyan Nuo is still waiting in the prison!"

Wan Yanxu was enlightened in an instant. Indeed, Wan Yannuo is a rare and fierce general. He was born in the army. He commanded the Zhongxiao Army to aid the Xia Kingdom in the west, attack Mongolia in the north, and follow the son of King Rong in the southern and northern wars. How can such a brave and skilled general continue to keep people in prison after his outstanding military exploits?

Then he decreed to release Wan Yan Nuo, and appointed Wan Yan Nuo as the general guarding the city to command the [-] soldiers and civilians who had gathered temporarily in the capital. Wan Yan Nuo really lived up to everyone's expectations. The cohesion and combat effectiveness of this army.

Chi Laowen, a famous general of the Great Mongol Khanate, led [-] cavalry as the vanguard of the attack on Zhongdu, and arrived in Zhongdu before Wo Kuotai Khan's army arrived.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building, and everyone in Zhongdu is in danger.

Wan Yanxu summoned the group of officials again and asked: "Chi Laowen led eight thousand cavalry to attack, intending to attack Zhongdu and destroy the Kingdom of Jin. The enemy is in front of us, who is willing to go?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I am willing to go!" Wan Yan Nuo was the first to stand up and express his opinion, and said firmly: "The last general Wan Yan Nuo is willing to lead 400 troops from the headquarters to fight Chi Lao Wen."

Everyone couldn't help being shocked when they heard this. 400 people, relying on 400 people, want to face the [-] cavalry of Commander Chi Laowen. How is this different from sending them to death?

A filial son from a poor family, a loyal and good man in a difficult country, Wan Yanxu was greatly moved, and bowed to Wan Yannuo, and said with infinite emotion: "General Wanyan is utterly loyal, serving the country and the people, I thank you in advance."

Wan Yannuo was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hastened to return the salute: "The general is terrified, defending the land and defending the country, and protecting the peace of one side is the duty of the soldiers of my generation. The general is just doing what he should do. Presumptuous praise."

Having said that, Wanyan Xu, who was deeply moved, still insisted on bowing to Wanyan Nuo, knowing that he couldn't do it, and Wan Yannuo did it this time, regardless of his own safety, and accepted the order in the face of danger, which was enough to deserve his bow.

"General Lao is here."
