After Yelu Chun, Xiao Puxiannu, Li Chuwen and others left, they hurried to Nanjing City. Within a few days, they met Xiao Qian and others who had led the troops. They finally arrived at a safe place, and he continued to stay in his hereditary The sixteen states of Yanyun were entrusted with him as his Xiaoyao King.
However, Wanyan Wu Qimai, who had let them go, could not let go and continued to stay where he was. He pondered for a long time and then said slowly:
"What's wrong with Zong Bi and Zong Han? Is there anything undecided?"
"I know Fourth Uncle Banbo Jilie so well. I have some unresolved matters with Fourth Brother Zongbi. Please tell me, Fourth Uncle."
"The first is that you let go of King Yelu Chun of Liao, Qin and Jin Dynasty and his concubine Xiao Puxian. Although I won't tell you, this matter has been spread among the soldiers for a long time. The emperor will know about it sooner or later. Therefore, if you don't report it to the emperor, I will He Zongbi will be severely punished."
"However, if you report this to the emperor, it may be detrimental to you, Fourth Uncle."
"The second thing is that not long ago, my subordinates happened to encounter the rebel general Yelu Zhangnu of the Liao Dynasty who was defeated by Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi and came to surrender. I asked my fourth uncle, Banbo Jilie, to decide whether to kill him or not."
After reading what Yan Zongbi and Wanyan Zonghan said, Wanyan Wu Qimai continued:
"Hahaha, it seems that although I, Wanyan Wu Qimai, am very demanding on all my nephews and nephews, you still have my fourth uncle in your heart."
"Zong Han, Zong Bi, you have done a good job, and I am grateful to you. Fourth uncle, I will let Yelu Chun and Xiao Pu Xian daughter go. Please report it to the emperor and the Prime Minister truthfully. I don't think the emperor will care about such a small matter." They will make a fuss over this."
"As for Yelvzhangnu, although he has done a lot for our Jurchens in the past, he has also received a lot of benefits. If you are a traitor to you, just kill him."
"Fourth uncle, what will you do if the emperor blames you?"
"Hahaha, although Yelu Chun is a minister of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Pu Xiannu has been kind to our Jin Empire. Letting them go is right both emotionally and rationally. Your Majesty will not blame me. Don't worry about me. ”.
After Wanyan Wu finished talking about begging for money, Wanyan Zonghan still said uneasily:
"Fourth uncle, now our Wanyan clan is no longer brothers and nephews of the Jurchen tribe, but father, son, monarch and ministers of the Great Jin Empire. You'd better be careful."
After finishing speaking, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi saluted and led their men back to resume their duties. Wanyan Wu Qimai followed the others thoughtfully without saying a word.
More than half a month later, they won a complete victory and captured the Bubu Post in one fell swoop, reversing the situation where Liao was strong and Jin was weak, and all the civil and military teachers returned to the court.
Wanyan Agu sat meditating on the splendid dragon chair, looking at the energetic ministers. Although he wanted to feel comfortable, he was uncharacteristically angry.
Wanyan Wu Qimai went to court as usual, but what he didn't expect was that the court meeting time was half an hour earlier, and as the first official to resist the Liao Dynasty, Banbo Jilie, who was familiar with the Jin Empire, didn't know anything about it.
He strode towards the court, but what he never expected to hear was the verbal and verbal criticism from the emperor's second brother and the courtiers. When he reached the door, he stopped the guard's announcement and quietly slipped into the court hall. At this time, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Great Jin Empire said loudly:
"Everyone, the facts about Wanyan Wu's begging for money are already very clear. Let me tell you your opinions. Wanyan Zonghan, you are the one who experienced it firsthand, so you can speak first."
"To report to your Majesty, I believe that although my fourth uncle's actions were inappropriate and did great harm to our Dajin Empire, the crime is not serious enough. My fourth uncle, Wanyan Wu Qimai, can just apologize to you and me."
After Wanyan Zonghan finished speaking, Wanyan Zongbi beside him continued:
"I would like to report to my father, if I were my son, I would do the same thing as my fourth uncle. Although the law is not merciful, it is reasonable and reasonable. I agree with what brother Zong Han said. Just ask for an apology from my fourth uncle Wanyan Wu." .
After Wanyan Zongbi finished speaking, Wanyan Aguda was furious. He stood up angrily and dropped the object in his hand, hitting Wanyan Zongbi's head. In an instant, Wanyan Zongbi was bleeding profusely, but he was still trying to excuse his fourth uncle Wanyan Wu from begging for money.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also believed that Wanyan Wu had made great contributions to begging people and should be rewarded. Letting Yelu Chun and Xiao Pu Xiannu go was just a small matter. There was no need to hold on to them. What they didn't expect was that Wanyan Aguda was furious. Angry, after everyone talked for a while, he suddenly stood up and said loudly:
"Shu Zi is not enough, get out of here. After saying that, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan and others left angrily."
At this moment, Wanyan Sagai suddenly stood up and said unhurriedly:
"To report to the Emperor, I believe that what Zong Han and Zong Bi said is reasonable. Although the punishment is a little light, without the fourth brother Wu Qimai and Xiao Pu Xiannu, it is hard to say whether our country of Jin will lose this battle."
"So, in my opinion, his merits and demerits complement each other, so let's not pursue the case for the time being. It would be better to let him take the blame and make meritorious deeds."
"Huh huh huh, no, we are no longer the Thirty-six Jurchens of the past, but the mighty Jin Empire. How can we abolish public service for private reasons?"
"Brother Sagai, you are the Prime Minister of our Kingdom of Jin. Haven't you heard of the principle of strict law enforcement? In short, Wanyan Wu must be severely punished for begging."
Seeing that Wanyan Agu had decided to fight, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly stopped Wanyan Sagai who was about to speak and said loudly:
"Reporting to my father, my son Wanyan Zongwang agrees with your opinion and severely punishes my fourth uncle Wanyan Wu for begging for money."
"Reporting to my father, my son Wanyan Zongfu agrees with your opinion and severely punishes my fourth uncle Wanyan Wu for begging for money."
"Reporting to my father, my son Wanyan Zongqian agrees with your opinion and severely punishes my fourth uncle Wanyan Wu for begging for money."
"Reporting to my father, my son Wanyan Zongjun agrees with your opinion and severely punishes my fourth uncle Wanyan Wu for begging."
Wanyan Aguda's four sons, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Zongjun, echoed Wanyan Aguda and demanded that Wanyan Wu be severely punished for begging. After the four of them finished speaking, Wanyan Sagai, who had outstanding merits, suddenly Kneel down and say:
"Reporting to the emperor, the veteran minister Wanyan Sa changed his mind and gave a lighter punishment to Wanyan Wu, who is familiar with Banbo Jilie, for begging, so that he can be punished and make meritorious service."
After Wanyan Sagai finished speaking, Wanyan Zongxiong, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Shigunai, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Handai, etc. all knelt down to beg for Wanyan Wu. I hope he can make meritorious deeds and make further contributions to the Jin Empire.
Seeing that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty highly praised Wanyan Wu for begging, Wanyan Aguda originally intended to punish him severely as a warning to others, but he was worried about chilling the hearts of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, so he hesitated. At this moment, Wanyan Wu Qimai, who had never spoken, suddenly said:
"Thank you so much, thank you all brothers and nephews for your love for me, Wanyan Wu Qingmai."
"The ancients said that those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have committed crimes must be punished to make the country invincible. Therefore, I would rather be punished."
"However, my brother believes that he did nothing wrong. First of all, without Xiao Puxian's letter from thousands of miles away, our Dajin soldiers would have lost their morale long ago. How could we have defeated the Liao army."
"Secondly, the fire horse formation method I used was also reminded by Xiao Puxian's letter to me. Without her, just imagine how my 20,000 golden soldiers could defeat the 200,000 Liao soldiers."
"Third, the reason why Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi brought an army of 500,000 people back to Tianjing to aid Tianjing was because of Yelu Chun's persuasion. Without Yelu Chun, could we have defeated Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi's army of 700,000 people? "?
"So, I did not do anything wrong by letting them go. Please clear my name."
After Wanyan Wu had been talking about begging for a long time, Wanyan Aguda who was sitting on the dragon throne said loudly:
"Hahaha, fourth brother, do you know that by letting go of Yelu Chun and Xiao Puxian? Although we have captured the fifty-four states of Liaodong, we are unable to guard it. The Liao court will lose it and regain it. Isn't this a serious crime? "?
"Do you know that as long as Yelu Chun and his Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures are here, our Great Jin Empire can't even think about destroying Daliao. Isn't this a serious crime?"
"Do you know that if Yelu Chun leads an army to invade again, how many soldiers will have to die before he can be beaten back? Isn't this a serious crime?"
"Hahaha, please report to your Majesty. I only know the human principles and justice in the world. I don't know that soldiers are always deceitful, and I don't know how to sacrifice one's life for mercy. Please forgive me."
After Wanyan Wu finished talking about begging for money, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty headed by Wanyan Sakai said one after another:
"Your Majesty, although Wanyan Wu is guilty of begging for money, his circumstances are excusable. Please let him serve his crime and make meritorious service."
Looking at Wanyan Aguda's piercing eyes, Wanyan Wu Qimai's face was ashen and his heart was as cold as ice and snow, and he said to himself:
"Second Brother of the Emperor, why are you making such a fuss? Is it possible that the Great Jin Empire has just started to improve and is about to stage a tragedy of fratricide?"
After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said loudly:
"Everyone, my minister Wanyan Wu Qimai is willing to be punished. From now on, he will no longer hold the position of Zhubanbo Jilie, and will no longer interfere in the government affairs of the Dajin Empire. He will leave the Dajin Kingdom with his family. I ask for your permission from the emperor and everyone." .
After Wanyan Wu finished talking about begging, there was silence in the court, and everyone was shocked, especially Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Zongxiong and other prominent officials of the Jin Kingdom. Looking at him in shock.
After a while, without waiting for Wanyan Agu to reply, Wanyan Wu Qimai saluted the courtiers present, then took off the official uniform and official hat that he was familiar with, and strode towards the court with heavy steps. Walk outside the hall.
