The flourishing Great Jin Empire acted vigorously and resolutely. Hu Tugu, who was only a second-rate general, took over eighteen cities including Shangjing and Zhongjing with the soldiers of the Great Jin Empire in two months.
Hu Tugu pacified the people in these eighteen cities, allowing the people who had lost their land and pastures to live and work in peace and contentment. And recruit new soldiers in the city, hoard food and grass, and build castles.
After several months of hard work, the eighteen cities taken over from Daliao have become a solid barrier for the Kingdom of Jin to resist foreign enemies.
These eighteen cities echo each other from a distance. The soldiers who defend the city can attack when they advance, and they can defend when they retreat. The people can farm and herd.
While Hu Tugu pacified the eighteen cities, Wanyan Wu Qimai and other civil and military ministers of the Jin Empire also traveled between Daliao and Dajin to discuss with each other the enthronement ceremony of Wanyan Aguda.
A few months later, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Empire held a grand enthronement ceremony.
As the orthodox Liao Dynasty, hundreds of civil and military ministers were present to congratulate. Song Dynasty officials Wang Shizhong, Ma Zheng, Gao Yaoshi, Cao Xiaocai, and Lang Ping were all present to congratulate the grand ceremony of the Jin Empire.
Wanyan Aguda came riding on the wind, and with the support of everyone, he slowly walked into the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.
Everyone in the audience shouted long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the Jin Dynasty.
Wanyan Agu raised his arms and shouted, and even though there were thousands of people in the audience, there was suddenly silence. After a while, the auspicious time came. Yelu Xinilie, the Taifu of the Liao Kingdom, climbed onto the sacrificial platform and said loudly:
"By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: The Emperor of the Great Jin Empire, Aguda, created the eternal foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty. He cared for his subordinates, loved the people, and moved the world. Now, as the orthodox emperor of the Liao Dynasty, I declare to the world that the complete Yan Aguda became the emperor of the Donghuai Empire and admired this."
After the reading, Yelu Xinilie continued to speak loudly:
"Long live the Emperor of the Donghuai Empire, long live the Emperor of the Donghuai Empire, and long live the Emperor of the Donghuai Empire."
After Yelu Xinilie finished speaking, tens of thousands of people in the audience knelt down and shouted loudly:
"Long live the Emperor of the Donghuai Empire, long live the Emperor, and long live the Jin Dynasty."
Wanyan Aguda was sitting upright in the middle of the crowd, with a majestic and extraordinary bearing, commanding the whole audience as if he was the right one. With a wave of his hand, the scene of worshiping heaven returned to peace again.
The knowledgeable Yelu Xinilie, Yelu Nuge and others hurried over, knelt at the feet of Wanyan Aguda, and obediently presented the imperial seal and edict.
Afterwards, Wanyan Aguda laughed loudly and said:
"Winter turns to spring, flowers bloom and fall, my Jurchen's Great Golden Empire is now justified, and I, Wanyan Aguda, am the destined emperor, hahaha."
After Wanyan Aguda finished speaking, the sky covered with dark clouds suddenly became brighter. Above the blue sky, white clouds are arranged neatly, like giant dragons, welcoming Wanyan Aguda, the destined emperor.
Tens of thousands of people were shocked, thinking that this was an auspicious sign from heaven, and that the Great Jin Empire would be at its peak and soar into the sky.
After seeing this, the Taifu of the Daliao Dynasty, Yelu Xinilie, knelt down and worshiped heaven again, and shouted again:
"Long live the Emperor of the Eastern Huai Empire, long live the Great Jin Kingdom."
After the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, even though Wanyan Aguda didn't drink a drop of water, he didn't care about the civil and military officials of the court, the generals of Dajin, and even the guests from all over the world who were waiting hungry.
However, he suddenly walked towards Huining Palace angrily. After seeing this, Wanyan Sa Gai, Wan Yan Wu Qimai and other generals followed closely behind him and walked forward with lightning speed.
Wang Shizhong, who was deeply puzzled, suddenly said:
"This, this, what's going on? Why did the Emperor of the Great Jin Empire suddenly become angry? Did something happen?"
"Who knows? Let's wait and see. I'll ask Brother Wanyan Wu later."
Wanyan Aguda returned to the Jinluan Palace and sat down, and his bodyguard shouted:
"I went to court and announced that the envoys of the Liao Kingdom would come to see me."
After finishing speaking, the civil servants and generals of the Great Jin Empire quickly lined up in order, and then shouted long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and sat down one by one in an orderly manner.
After a while, dozens of people including Yelu Nuge and Yelu Xinilie, envoys of the Liao Kingdom, entered the temple to pay homage.
Wanyan Aguda glared at him. Not to mention Xi Nilie, Yelunuge and other Daliao envoys, even Wanyan Aguda's brothers and nephews, such as Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Wu Qingbu, etc., none of them knew about this move. Why.
After a while, the angry Wanyan Aguda said slowly:
"Yelunuge, Yelvxi Nilie, two noble envoys, I wonder if you have ever remembered the terms of peace between our Kingdom of Jin and your country. Who can tell me about it?"
After Wanyan Aguda finished speaking, Brother Yelunu said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, our two countries agreed to negotiate peace between Liao and Jin on four conditions."
"First, when negotiating peace between the two countries, the Kingdom of Jin should be respected. The Emperor of Liao respected His Majesty the Emperor as his elder brother."
"Second, cede eighteen cities including Shangjing and Zhongjing to the Kingdom of Jin."
"Third, tell the world to recognize the legitimacy of the Jin Dynasty. Your Majesty, the Emperor, is the Great Sage Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
"Fourth, we must send 250,000 taels of silver silk to our Kingdom of Jin every year, and give half of the annual coins from Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin."
"If this is the case, the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Liao will share peace in the world just like the Liao-Song Chanyuan Alliance more than a hundred years ago."
"Your Majesty, these are the conditions for peace between Liao and Jin."
After Brother Yelunu finished speaking, Wanyan Aguda continued to be furious and roared, frightening everyone including Wanyan Sagai and Wanyan Wu Qingbuy.
After Wanyan Aguda became angry, he threw the certificate of credence and the imperial edict in front of Yerunuge, and shouted angrily:
"Let me ask you, didn't you admit that I was the Great Sage Emperor of the Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty? Why didn't I have the word "Great Sage", and why did I suddenly become the Emperor of the Donghuai Empire?"
After Wanyan Aguda finished speaking, Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Xiyin, etc. finally knew the reason.
After that, all the civil and military officials in the Jin Kingdom were as furious as Wanyan Aguda.
The feet of Yelu Nuge, Yelu Xi Nilie and others went soft, and they immediately knelt down directly opposite Wanyan Aguda. They could not kneel for a long time and did not dare to speak.
After a while, the angry Wanyan Aguda continued:
"Not only that, but in your edict of the Liao Kingdom, there is no words about respecting me, Wanyan Aguda, as my brother. Instead, there are frivolous words about the small country cherishing its virtues. What does this mean?"
Yerunuge finally knew the serious consequences of this move, so he took courage and explained loudly:
"To His Majesty, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, this edict was not written by our Emperor himself. It must have been done deliberately by someone who wanted to provoke conflict between the two countries and trap the border people and tens of thousands of soldiers in the flames of war. Please investigate clearly."
"Hahaha, Mingcha, let me Mingcha. Even a three-year-old child knows that it was you, the Liao Kingdom, who deceived me and played with me, yet you dare to let me Mingcha."
After Wanyan Aguda finished speaking, the court hall was completely silent again. No one dares to be the first to speak out.
After half a day, Wanyan Aguda suddenly said calmly:
"Hahaha, brother Yelunu. Come, come, come, pick up the imperial edict and certificate of credence for me."
After that, Brother Yelunu walked over on his knees, carefully picked up the credential and edict that were thrown on the ground, and then carefully presented them to Wanyan Agu's hands.
At this moment, Wanyan Aguda suddenly raised his arms and said loudly:
"Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom dared to deceive me, tease me, and play with me. I will let you die without a burial place."
After he finished speaking, he tore the certificate of credence and edict in his hand into several pieces and threw them in front of Yerunuge, who was so frightened that Yerunuge rolled down from the Jinluan Palace.
Wanyan Aguda raised his voice again and said loudly:
"I will not give up until the Liao Dynasty is destroyed. All the ministers listened to the order and quickly prepared all supplies and weapons, and sent troops to Beijing."
After Wanyan Aguda finished speaking, the ministers immediately knelt down, echoed Wanyan Aguda, and said loudly together:
"I will never give up until Daliao is destroyed."
