Ren Pingsheng

Shangjing Road is almost a country within a country.

This was already an open secret, and Tu Shanheng's walk on Shangjing Road did not change the situation.Tu Shanheng brought Wanyan Kang's memorabilia and oral message, and the crown prince paid more attention to this.The benefactor and some of the ministers were very displeased. If the son hadn't been bedridden, the benefactor would have ordered him to reprimand him.

What Wanyankang did made the imperial court difficult, but for the Kingdom of Jin, the biggest enemy was Mongolia.Yes, the biggest enemy of the Jin Kingdom and the most taboo of the Jin Lord are not the same person.

Quite a number of ministers didn't say anything, but they couldn't help muttering in their hearts: It's not like your family didn't rebel, so what's the point?As long as you can lead everyone not to be bullied.Look at the current emperor, look at the current imperial court, lost the capital, lost his wife and children, lost his ancestral graves, and the Great Jin Kingdom, which has been domineering for nearly a hundred years, has ever suffered such a loss?

On the other hand, the other one is young and energetic, but he is not at a disadvantage!When did the people who followed him suffer?What's more, the emperor lost his capital, and Wanyan Kang was picked back.The person appointed by the emperor suffered a defeat from the boss, and Wan Yankang carried it over.The comparison is not necessarily too obvious.

All of a sudden, the undercurrent surged.The gold master and the crown prince are well aware of this situation, but they can't make it clear.The prince had already made the worst plan to destroy the country and his family. Now that there is Wanyan Kang, he felt a little more relaxed.However, a nameless fire of karma burned in the heart of the benefactor.

At this time, Pu San Anzhen wrote a letter to support Wan Yankang's suggestion.

The benefactor exploded on the spot: "The princess married for the country, how could she be wronged? Whose daughter of yours is getting married, won't you give her a generous dowry?!" Wanyan Kang really guessed him right.

There was a period of chaos in the Bianjing court, and in the end, calm and rational thinking prevailed.Wanyankang's suggestion is very targeted, and many people understand that this is a good way to choke the enemy's neck.After some disputes, in the end, although it was not enough to not give a grain of rice, it also greatly reduced the amount of various strategic materials.The prince still felt that it was not enough, and wanted to implement Wan Yankang's suggestion thoroughly.He himself was unable to go to court, and the content of his response was to convey.

The benefactor withdrew from the court, went to see his son in person, and said earnestly: "You think too much about people!"

The prince coughed and said: "In the face of a national crisis, as long as there is reason, we should listen to it. I also hope that my father can open up and listen to good words."

The gold master approached his son, and whispered in a low voice: "If it falls into the hands of the Mongols, even if it falls into the hands of the Song people, you and I may survive. If our own people turn against us, we will only die! Don't offend now. When the Mongols rebel on Shangjing Road, they may use the power of neighboring countries to suppress the rebellion..."

The prince took a deep breath: "Why doesn't father trust his nephew, but an old 'son-in-law' instead?"

The words were not speculative, the father and son broke up unhappy for the first time, and the prince only had a wry smile on his face.

After the gold master went back, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.The son was his own, and he was very tolerant when he was raised so old and fell ill again.To other people, not so good temper.Just at this moment, he received another piece of news that made him unhappy——Shandong Yang An'er turned his back on him.

"A group of white-eyed wolves!" The gold master swept all the stove bottles on the case to the ground with a flick of his sleeves.

Don't blame him for being angry, he felt that whether it was Wan Yankang or Yang An'er, he had done his best, but he couldn't exchange their sincerity!Needless to say, Wanyan Kang forced him into a dilemma, but after all, it was his own family, his own nephew, and in the heart of the benefactor, he was someone of the same class as himself.Being tricked by people of the same class makes me feel better psychologically.

What is Yang An'er?A scoundrel!He took the lead in rebelling, was cornered by the officers and soldiers, and accepted the recruitment.Even so, the court did not discriminate against him, but made him an officer.When confronting the Mongolian army, he saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away, ran back to Shandong overnight, and rebelled again!

Two bastards!If it wasn't for the bastard Hudu who would go to Beijing and enclose the land to enrich himself, how could Yang An'er dare to despise the court like this?

The benefactor hated both of them for a moment, and he didn't care about his servant An Zhen speaking for An Yankang, so he sent him to quell the Yang An'er rebellion.Although servant San Anzhen hates it, she still has the ability to calm chaos.It's not that there are no other generals in the court, but the benefactor feels that he is more willing to let others stay by his side than servant San Anzhen.

Servant Anzhen had no other thoughts, so she took the order and left.The benefactor breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to continue preparing the princess's dowry.It usually takes some time for people to get married, let alone a princess getting married?

This just gave Wanyan Kang the opportunity to intercept halfway.

*****************

After Wan Yankang met Tu Shanheng, he knew that the benefactor had a strong intention to marry him, and the possibility of disturbing the affair was very small.The gold master guards against him, and the Mongols must be happy to see the results. The two sides even have a tacit understanding in dealing with their own issues.But after thinking about it, he was unwilling to see Princess Qi for the last time.He also wanted to drop by the south and quietly go to Bianjing to meet the prince.The princess's marriage was time-consuming, so he was given a time gap to temporarily deal with the affairs of Shangjing Road and free up his hands to travel.

A leader who is interested in anti-gold cannot suddenly give up the boss he originally planned to go to because of someone or something, and follow another person wholeheartedly.Since Brother Yeluliu decided to rebel, he did not know how much preparatory work he had done in the early stage, and he did not have too little contact with the Mongols in private.It's just that Wanyan Kang's arrival caught him off guard, and the Mongols were unable to intervene in this matter at this time.Many factors are intertwined to form the current situation.

Therefore, Wanyan Kang still needs some time, at least let the Khitan people on Shangjing Road see the benefits of working with him.In short, buy people's hearts.

His method is not complicated, give a certain amount of trust, and treat him equally.At the same time, he selected the strongest Khitan people to join his pro-army.Abolished the implicit unfair treatment of the Khitan people in the previous policy, such as weapons and equipment.These things are not done in one step, but advanced step by step.There are preferential treatment for those who are attached first, such as Yelu Awang and Chai Da, as a typical example, and then this treatment will be popularized in turn according to the degree of attachment of each person.

It's like hanging a vegetable in front of the rabbit, leading it forward.In this way, it is easier to deepen the impression psychologically layer by layer until assimilation.

Brother Yeluliu saw it in his heart, and then thought about his desperate plan to deal with the Mongols, knowing that he is a person who intends to do great things.Furthermore, because the Bianjing decree could not be carried out on Shangjing Road, the Mongols could not give him anything more than Wanyankang except promises.Finally made up his mind to send the eldest son to Wanyan Kang as a guard.

Wanyan Kang accepted his kindness with a smile, and granted him the post of ten thousand households, and gave his eldest son the title of captain.After that, he was ordered to lead a Khitan tribe, and he did not assign his confidants to monitor.Brother Yeluliu thought to himself: He really has the capacity to do great things.If you can be consistent, it's not bad to follow him.I just hope that you don't cross the river and tear down the bridges. After you take down the country, you raise the Jurchens and suppress us.

The people below have different thoughts, Wanyankang knows it well, the Khitan and others feel wronged, if the Jurchens are not a little better than others, they will be a little unhappy.This bowl of water is not very smooth.There is a trick right now, that is, there is pressure from the Mongols outside. To paraphrase political textbooks, it is easy to shift domestic conflicts.

After settling down on Shangjing Road, Wanyankang still had some regrets: there were slightly fewer civil servants available.This is also related to the way he took the official position all the way up, fighting all the way up, the small schools around him, as long as they are not stupid enough to go home, or unlucky enough to die in battle, they have all been tempered.Can't stand alone, can also carry out orders very well.He also picked a lot of people with potential.

On the contrary, there are not many civil servants who govern the country.When we arrived at Shangjing Road, for the convenience of management, we took Shangjing Road into our hands, and the entire Shangjing Road was also cleaned up. "It would be great if Ah Heng was here. Although my temper is a little bit bad, I have experienced it over the years. Even though I am not a prime minister right now, I can still go to Beijing Road..."

Wan Yankang lamented that he couldn't rob people now, so he had to start from scratch and set up a school, but the current text was Chinese characters.There may be protesters from various ethnic groups, but more insightful people sigh secretly: The marshal has a lot of ambition. If he wants to go to Beijing, he must be forced to learn Chinese characters?It must be aspiring to the world, a prosperous place in the south, hehe.

After dealing with all these, Wanyan Kang brought Chae Da, brother Yeluliu's eldest son Xue Yu and others to detour south, hoping to meet Princess Qi before she entered Mongolia.The route Princess Qi traveled was not a secret to Wanyan Kang. Wanyan Kang brought a group of people to Datong Mansion in Xijing a few days earlier, and had to make up another identity—the identity of real household registration.

Xue Yan was a little surprised when he heard him say: "My name is Zhang Yuan. I ran away from home because of the turmoil in Shandong. My family is fairly well-off. I have studied for a few years, and I also learned some guns and sticks..." He made up for everyone. identity.Holding all the authentic guides issued by Jin Guo officials except for his identity, he went all the way to live near the post house of Datong Mansion.

On the night when the princess drove into the city, Wan Yankang repeated his old trick. Dressed in green clothes, he slipped into the posthouse where the princess of Qi Kingdom stayed alone, and put the maid who was on duty at night in the princess' room into a sleeping hole.Only then did Princess Qi let down her hair, propped her chin with one hand, and stared at the wick in a daze.Wan Yankang said softly: "Sister."

Princess Qi was startled, but she didn't scream, she just turned her head suddenly.After he was clearly identified, he put his hands on his chest and asked in a low voice, "Kudu? What are you doing here?"

Wan Yankang said: "Look at you. Um... Sister, are you really... willing?"

Princess Qi's heartbeat gradually stabilized, she didn't look at him, she lowered her head and said, "Don't worry about me. I know what you mean, and I accept your love. But..." After a pause, she raised her head and gently He said firmly and firmly, "Hudu, we have all grown up, and we are no longer young. When you were young, you could always achieve what you wanted to do. When you grow up, you should know that there are some things, even if you think very well. , is no match for reality.”

"As long as you don't want to, I will take you away now."

"Then I'll feel sorry for the parents who raised me," Princess Qi shook her head, "Come on, I'll comb it for you again."

Pulled Wanyan Kang to the dressing table, took out a comb with a peony pattern in the phoenix title, brushed his hair loose, combed it carefully, and said: "Although I don't know about the important affairs of the court, you I have heard of it more or less between Father and Father, so it’s not okay to go on like this. State affairs are bothering, and Father is also worried...I know, many people think that Father, the emperor, is not doing well, but it is mine after all. Father, my body, hair, skin, and skin are all from him, and my food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all from him. I can’t say no to what he wants me to do. Listen to me, everyone has their own ideas. It’s not just because you think others do it Well, other people will think the same way. I am a princess, and I will do what a princess should do. You are a prince, and I will not stop you from doing whatever you want. I always remember that you saved Zhongdu and your empress Ladies, you also protected our sisters. This kindness, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay it in this life, so I will comb it back for you."

After combing her hair slowly, she replaced the hairpin on Wanyan Kang's head with a jade hairpin in her makeup box. Princess Qi looked into the mirror and said, "I don't know which girl is blessed with such a handsome young man." I’m afraid I won’t be able to see it when you marry your wife.” Pulled out a pair of jade pendants and handed them to Wan Yankang, “I know you don’t need anything, this is my wish, take it.”

Wan Yankang held a pair of adornments in his palm, and said softly: "Then, I'll pick you up, okay?"

Princess Qiguo said: "I can't do anything other than be a princess. Until that day, I shouldn't do anything else. If you really want to do something, go and see Big Brother, you guys I can only be good if everything is well. There are so many princesses, and if they don’t get along with each other, they may not go well, right? There is a way to convince my own heart." Said Juan, the tip of the replaced hairpin lightly pressed against his throat.

Wanyan Kangmo, if you give him a few years, maybe he can...

Princess Qiguo smiled with tears in her eyes: "Go, don't disturb others. Before you see your eldest brother, tell him first, don't let others know, there are many people who hate you in the court. The court is to discuss my dowry, and in the end My father still loves my eldest brother, and I don’t want to make him worry, so I obey you. The jewels, jade and satin you sent, my eldest brother was afraid that my father would be angry, so I also quietly brought them to me. "Order", I only thought that people's hearts are changeable. Now I understand a little bit, even if Dad can't satisfy people, there will always be Big Brother. You...you can do it yourself."

Wan Yankang knew that this matter would definitely disappoint the girl, but at this moment he couldn't bear to tell her the truth, and nodded vaguely: "I'll find a way to see the eldest brother." No one knows how long the crown prince can support , Not seeing one side, I feel uneasy.

Princess Qi's smile widened: "That's good, it's getting deeper and heavier, go and rest soon."

************

Wanyan Kang turned around and came out, his robe sleeves swung lightly behind him, and he gently swung the window shut.The next day, he ordered to go to Bianjing.Chai Da and the others had seen his nature earlier, and none of them dissuaded him. However, Xue Yan, who was cautious and young after all, couldn't help persuading him: "Marshal, there is no call from the imperial court. Marshal is going alone, so there may be something wrong. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this... Besides, Shangjing Road is waiting for you to go back."

Wan Yankang smiled and said: "That's not the case, I can't go back to Bianjing, and I won't see the prince." As for Shangjing Road, he left by himself just to see if anyone would jump out.Even if someone jumped out, his soldiers and horses were there, led by his reliable confidants.They are strong enough to go back on their own.

Xue Yan was startled: "This?"

"Will the imperial court rest assured that I will lead the troops there?"

"..."

Wanyan Kang waved a palm, and a tree as thick as the mouth of a bowl in the courtyard broke from it. Wanyan Kang sighed: "If you want to keep me, you have to have that ability. Let's go and return quickly." You forgot Is this a martial arts novel?

Xue Yan said in his heart: Dad sent me to your side, if you are going to die, I will go with you too.But looking at you like this, it seems that no one can kill you.

There were no more dissenting people, and the group set off immediately. When they arrived in Bianjing, they encountered a "grand event" - the abolition of legislation.Heshi Liezhi finally made up his mind, taking advantage of the time when his servant Anzhen led the army and Wanyankang closed the door on Shangjing Road, he wanted to abolish the gold lord and the crown prince and establish the king of Wu.

Wan Yankang was full of emotions when he was in the prime of his life: "How hard is he to think about it?" He Shi Lie probably really didn't know that this was a martial arts novel.
