After the death of Wanyan Gailibo, his fourth brother Wanyan Pocishu and fifth brother Wanyan Yingge successively succeeded as the leader of the Wanyan tribe and the Jiedushi of the Jurchen tribe.
The Wanyan tribe has a habit. In the early stage of the inheritance of tribal leaders and positions of power, the inheritance system was based on the father's death and the son's succession. Since the ancestors, the inheritance method has been the brother's succession.
The reason why the Wanyan tribe has such a inheritance system and method is that in the early stage, it mainly focused on managing the internal affairs of the Wanyan tribe and enhancing the internal strength of the Wanyan tribe; in the later period, the Wanyan tribe served as the festival leader of the Jurchen tribe alliance in the Liao Dynasty. In addition to managing the affairs of their own tribe, the Wanyan Tribe turned its development goals to unify other tribes that gave birth to Jurchens, establish an independent country, and compete with the Liao Kingdom. There were changes in the way of inheritance, and they paid more attention to the maturity and control ability of the heirs. , so the inheritance method was changed from father to son in the early stage to brother to brother in the later stage.
The inheritance system of the Jurchens not only pays attention to blood ties, but also pays attention to the balanced and cyclic development of governance capabilities. That is, after the younger brother inherits the tribal chief or the throne of his elder brother, it is only a transitional one. After the elder brother's son grows up, he will continue to inherit the tribe. The chief or position of power is returned to the elder brother's son.
Different from the Central Plains dynasty, the Jurchen tribe did not give priority to the eldest son in terms of inheritance. Instead, after the eldest son became an adult, he was sent out to create a world on his own.
What kind of custom is this? For what reason? unknown.
After Wanyan Libo's death, his fourth brother Wanyan Pocishu succeeded him as the leader of his tribe and the governor of the Jurchen Tribe Alliance of Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Puchishu only reigned for two years. When she died, her fifth brother Wanyan Yingge took over as the governor of the Jurchen tribe alliance.
After Wanyan Yingge reigned for nine years, he died. His duties as tribal chief and daughter-in-law Zhenjiedushi were passed from his elder brother to his younger brother, Wanyan Wuyashu, the eldest son of Wanyan Libo. Wanyan Wuyashu reigned for ten years. When he died, his son Wanyan's position as Jiedushi of the Jurchen Tribe Alliance was passed on to his younger brother Wanyan Aguda.
After Wanyan Aguda established the Jin Kingdom, he became Emperor Taizu of the Jin Kingdom and reigned for eight years. After Wanyan Aguda died, his younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai (Wanyan Sheng) succeeded to the throne.
Wanyan Wu Qimai reigned for twelve years, during which time he broke through Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and robbed the two emperors Huiqin and the Northern Song Dynasty. Before his death, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai wanted his son Wanyan Zongpan to inherit the throne. However, he was strongly opposed by Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) and other clan forces with military power. Jin Taizong had no choice but to take the throne again. It was handed over to Wanyan Aguda, the eldest grandson of Jin Taizu, Wanyan Dan.
Wanyan Dan was successful in the early stage, but in the later stage, because he wanted to make his adopted sister-in-law his queen, he was strongly opposed by his original wife, the empress, the imperial concubine and all the ministers. In a rage, Wanyan Dan killed his first wife, the queen, and the three concubines, as well as the ministers who opposed his sister-in-law as his queen. Later, Wanyan Dan almost entered a state of madness, and was killed by his younger brother Wanyan Liang.
Wanyan Liang was domineering, lewd and cruel. During the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, he was killed by his soldiers. Wanyan Yong, a clan member far away in Youzhou, became the emperor of the Jin Kingdom with the support of his ministers.
Wanyan Yong can be regarded as a Qingming king. He reigned for twenty-nine years. Before his death, he passed the throne to his eldest grandson when the prince died early.
Since then, the Jin Guocai established by the Jurchens has basically established the system of succession for the eldest son.
The reason for this gossip is simply that the inheritance system of the Jin Kingdom is different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty. Their succession law ensures that the reigning leader of the Wanyan tribe is always quite mature and capable, even when the tribe is occasionally in crisis. He can also turn the crisis around with the heir's strong perseverance.
Since the completion of Yan Yong, the Kingdom of Jin has implemented the same eldest son inheritance system as the Central Plains Dynasty. The subsequent historical development has proved the success of the inheritance method of "brothers continue to descend to younger brothers" from another aspect.
Now let’s talk about some stories about Wanyan Yingge and Wanyan Aguda after the death of Wanyan Qilibo and Wanyan Puchishu.
With the death of Wanyan Gailibo and Wanyan Puchishu, several of Wanyan Yingge's brothers also died one after another. Wanyan Gailibo had several sons who were still young, so Wanyan Yingge was forced to go into history. On the stage, he inherited his elder brother Wanyan's position as tribal leader and Jurchen tribe's Jiedushi.
After succeeding to the throne, Wanyan Yingge deeply felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders and did not dare to relax even a little bit. She began the process of conquering the north and south for the unification of the Jurchen tribe.
After Wanyan Yingge took office, the first thing he annexed was the Wendu tribe.
The Wendu tribe is a small tribe of the Jurchen tribe, located to the north of the Wanyan tribe. It has a small population and weak power. Next to the Wendu tribe is the relatively powerful Heshilie tribe of the Jurchen tribe.
The relationship between the two tribes has always been good. They often visit each other and support each other whenever something happens.
When the Wanyan tribe annexed the Wendu tribe, the He Shilie tribe maintained strong protection and sent troops to rescue them to prevent Wanyan Yingge from annexing the Wendu tribe, thus forming a rift with the Wanyan tribe.
In fact, if we talk about it carefully, the relationship between the Jurchen Heshilie tribe and the Wanyan tribe has always been good. The Heshilie tribe of the Jurchen tribe is located at a key location leading to Haidong and belongs to the Jurchen aristocracy. In the early years, Wanyan Gailibo conquered the Wuchun tribe in Haidong. During his triumphant return, he passed by the Heshilie tribe.
Ahai, the leader of Heshilie's tribe, heard that Wanyan Gailibo had returned in triumph, so he led his officials, soldiers and people to greet him on the side of the road and presented five measures of gold to Wanyan Gailibo.
When Wanyan Libo saw Ahai, the leader of the He Shilie tribe, greeting him personally on the side of the road, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and helped Ahai up.
Wanyan Gailibo said to Ah Hai: "Wuchun was originally a humble man, but my father raised him and made him the leader of the tribe. However, he did not remember to repay his kindness, but instead made a grudge against me, which led to a great chaos. I am destroying him now. He is indeed his You will destroy yourself, and you cannot blame others. Now that Wuchun has been destroyed, I and you and other thirty tribesmen can rest safely from now on. My great number will also come to an end. After my death, you should remember me and do your best to remember me. If you assist my descendants and lead a chaotic life, they will perish like a cloud of spring."
Ah Hai and everyone else knelt on the ground and cried, "If the Grand Master has any secrets about who everyone depends on for their livelihood, please don't say such things."
Shortly after returning to his headquarters after conquering Wuchun, Wanyan Gailibogui died.
Shortly after the death of Wanyan Gailibo, the leader of the Heshi Lie Tribe, Ahai, also died, and the position of tribal leader was succeeded by Ahai's son, Ashu.
When Ah Shu was a minor, he often followed his father Ah Hai to work in the Wanyan tribe. Because he was smart and smart, Wanyan Aguda's mother loved him very much. At that time, whenever Ashu visited the Wanyan tribe, Wanyan Aguda's mother would keep Ashu in the Wanyan tribe and play with Wanyan Aguda and others for several months.
For this reason, the children of the Ashu and Wanyan tribes have been good friends since childhood, and the relationship between the two tribes is also very good.
However, when the Wanyan tribe annexed the Wendu tribe, the Heshilie tribe did not support the Wanyan tribe, nor did it remain neutral. Instead, it maintained strong protection and directly sent troops to rescue the Wendu tribe and prevent Wanyan Yingge from annexing the Wendu tribe. All tribesmen, which made Wanyan Yingge extremely displeased.
Since then, Wanyan Yingge has been thinking about how to annihilate and annex the Heshi Lie tribe.
When Wanyan Yingge was looking for an opportunity to annihilate He Shi Lie's tribe, He Shi Lie's tribe himself created this opportunity.
At this time, Yelu Longxu of the Liao Kingdom had passed away, and his successor was Yelu Hongji, the Daozong of the Liao Dynasty.
Yelu Hongji, the Daozong of the Liao Dynasty, was also a fatuous, incompetent, authoritarian and domineering emperor. He spent his whole life as a fool, unable to defend his loyalties and traitors, addicted to wine and sex, and keen on hunting and recreation.
When Yelu Hongji first came to the throne, he favored and trusted Yelu Chongyuan, the powerful and traitorous uncle of the emperor.
Yelu Chongyuan saw that Yelu Hongji was fatuous and incompetent, so he secretly plotted to become powerful. He discussed a plan with his son Yelu Nerugu, lied about being ill, and wanted to lure Yelu Hongji to visit him while he was out hunting, and waited for Yelu Hongji to come to the back of the house. , let his son Nerugu take the opportunity to assassinate Yelu Hongji, thereby seizing the throne.
Yelu Liang, a palace official in Yelu Hongji's palace, discovered the conspiracy and quietly reported it to Xiao Guanyin, the empress dowager of Renyu. Xiao Guanyin, the empress dowager of Renyu, told Yelu Hongji the information and asked her to be on guard.
When Yelu Hongji heard the news, he did not immediately send soldiers to arrest Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Nerugu, father and son, and bring them under control. Instead, he sent people to Yelu Chongyuan's mansion to recruit Yelu Chongyuan's son Yelu Nie. Lu Gu came to confront the informer Yelu Liang.
In this case, it is naturally impossible for Yerunelugu to come. When someone asked him to go to the palace to testify against the rebellion, Yelu Nerugu not only refused to come, but also detained the people sent by Yelu Hongji.
The people sent by Yelu Hongji took the opportunity to escape and came back and told Yelu Hongji that Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Nerugu and his son were indeed planning to rebel and assassinate Yelu Hongji.
From then on, Yelu Hongji sent troops to quell the rebellion, which was known as the "Luanhe Rebellion" in history.
If someone else hadn't reported him, Yelu Hongji would have been killed by Yelu Zhongyuan and his son because of his incompetence.
Later, Yelu Hongji favored Yelu Yixin.
Yelu Yixin saw that Yelu Hongji was confused and secretly had the ambition to usurp the throne, so he falsely accused the queen of Yide, Xiao Guanyin, and the actor Zhao Weiyi of having an affair.
It's ridiculous that Yelu Hongji, when he heard Yelu Yixin's report, did not verify it, so he forced Xiao Guanyin, the Queen of Yode, to commit suicide. This is known as the "Shixiangci Unjust Case" in history.
Later, Yelu Yixin falsely accused the prince Yelu Jun of plotting to seize the throne. Yelu Hongji ignored the defense of the prince and only son Yelu Jun and imprisoned Yelu Jun. Soon, the imprisoned prince Yelu Jun was assassinated by people sent by Yelu Yixin, but he lied that the prince died of illness.
Yelu Hongji felt suspicious, so he summoned the prince's wife to find out the cause of the prince's death. Yelu Yixin also looked for an opportunity to kill the prince's wife to silence her.
Later, when Yelu Hongji went on a tour, a woman sang a song called "Hold the Valley" in front of Yelu Hongji, which said: "If you cover up the conspiracy, you will kill people and silence them; if you cut off the roots, you will not leave any heirs..."
This situation reminded Yelu Hongji of many past events, and the scenes revolved in his mind, touching his nerves. The dim-witted Yelu Hongji finally came to his senses and hurriedly connected the prince's children to the palace to prevent further accidents.
Later, Yelu Yixin wanted to take advantage of Yelu Hongji to go out hunting and plot to kill the prince's son Yelu Yanxi. However, the minister Xiao Wuna saw through the trap and admonished Yelu Hongji, urging him not to kill his grandson Yelu Yanxi alone. Stay in the palace. Yelu Hongji accepted Xiao Wuna's petition and ordered the emperor and his grandson to hunt together in autumn, thus saving Yelu Yanxi's life.
It was this Yelu Hongji who lived until he was seventy years old. His biggest hobby was hunting.
