In Jinan City, in the West Lake, on Qingliang Island.
Returning east to Xuzhou from Xijing Road in Dajin, he passed by Wanyan Zonggou in Jinan Prefecture. At this time, he was outside the Qingliangshui Pavilion on Qingliang Island, waiting for the summons of Wanyan Zonghan, deputy marshal of the left side of Dajin.
He originally did not want to come to Jinan Mansion to see Wanyan Zonghan, but now that Wanyan Xie is also seriously ill, the Jurchen high-level officials will soon start to compete for the new candidate who is familiar with Banbo Jilie. Wanyan Zonggou is actually an outsider, so the best thing to do is to stay away from him. How can he move forward on his own?
Besides, what is Wanyan Zonggou’s identity? He is the son of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Song Dynasty. He is already an unusual person in Dajin to reach his current position. He has no hope of going any further... Moreover, most of his current status comes from his wife Wanyan Yan!
Although this Wanyan Yan is unruly and willful, with a bold style, and sometimes even beats up Yan Zonggou, Wanyan Zonggou was quite sure that he could subdue her before. Because although Wanyan Zonggou is timid, he has a great body, a tall and powerful muscular man.
Moreover, he also inherited the "fertility" of Song Zhuangzong Zhao Ji - even though he was only a young boy when he was detained by the Jin people, he was only 19 years old, but he was already the father of five children!
It's just that his five children are all daughters, and no one can inherit his throne and fiefdom in the Kingdom of Jin. Moreover, his five daughters, his wife Xing, and several concubines were not with Wanyan Zonggou, but followed Zhao Huan to Jinling.
As for Wanyan Wu’s youngest daughter Wanyan Yan, Wanyan Zonggou slept with her because of her ability when she was a filial son by Wanyan Wu’s side... If this ability disappears, Wanyan Zonggoo’s life will be It’s hard to say whether it can be guaranteed! Especially since Wanyan Yan is still pregnant with Wanyan Zonggou's child. If it is a son, someone will inherit the throne of King Song. Who wants the "useless" Wanyan Zonggou?
Therefore, going to Goryeo to catch tigers and cut tiger whips is a top priority!
But what Wanyan Zonggou is worried about is not what Wanyan Zonghan is worried about... There are two things that make Wanyan Zonghan worried. One is why his crow-mouthed son ended up in the Hexi Corridor?
That's his legitimate son!
When the news came, Wanyan Zonghan's family started to stir up trouble. His daughters-in-law... including the wives of She Yema who died in the battle, all came to make trouble with Zonghan!
The second thing that worried Wanyan Zonghan was the fact that Wanyan Xie, who was familiar with Banbo Jilie, was also critically ill. Of course he wants to be the new master!
But the problem is, his strength is still a bit lacking!
His lineage was thin, unlike Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu Qimai, both of whom had more than a dozen sons. There were always a few who could fight.
Wanyan Zonghan's father left behind two sons, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongxian. Zong Han's younger brother Zong Xian was a scholar and had no interest in leading troops to fight.
Although Wanyan Zonghan is very capable of fighting, and Wanyan Xiebao is now the most capable of fighting among the younger members of the Wanyan family, after all, there are only two fathers and sons, and the number of Meng'an they can directly control is limited. Although Zong Han had led many soldiers, his disciples and old officials were all over the Jin Kingdom, both inside and outside the country, including close confidants like Wanyan Xiyin.
However, the current Jurchen society has not yet moved away from the tribal and clan system, and the system of disciples and old officials is still not as reliable as a group formed by blood ties.
Although Wanyan Zonghan relied on the Meng'an controlled by himself and his son Xiebao, coupled with the armed forces controlled by a group of henchmen, and the wealthy Jingdong East Road territory, it was still enough to fight against the power of Emperor Wu Qimai of the Jin Dynasty, but it was not as good as Aguda left behind. A big family!
And Wanyan Zonghan had offended Wanyan Wu Qimai because of the "spanking" incident, so it was impossible for him to get the support of Wu Qimai's faction to become the new Banbo Jilie...
And the Aguda faction cannot support Wanyan Zonghan to become the new Banbo Jilie... The Aguda faction has "many princes", including four powerful princes: Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Zongbi. Taking out one at random is enough to give Wanyan Zonghan a try.
Therefore, Zong Han's faction, which seems to be powerful now, is actually in a quite disadvantageous position when it comes to the competition for reserve positions.
Originally, Wanyan Zonghan wanted to discuss how to seize the throne with Wanyan Xiebao, but he didn't expect that Xiebao was sent to Hexi by Wu Qimai!
Now Zong Han not only temporarily lost Meng'an who was controlled by Xianbao, but also lost Xianbao's crow's mouth... He was in an obviously disadvantageous position in the battle for the reserve position.
However, before setting off for Hexi, the Xie Bao ordered his confidants to go to Jinan Mansion to meet Zong Han with his secret message.
In this letter, Xie Bao asked Zong Han to ask Yu Wanyan Zonggou...According to what Crow Zui said, Wanyan Zonggou was not good at fighting, but how to fight against his own people, this guy is still very good First hand!
Since Crow Mouth's son said so, Wanyan Zonghan sent Wanyan Xiyin to take people to the junction of Yunzhou (belonging to Jingdong Road) and Daming Mansion, and brought Wanyan Zonggou and his party to Jinan Mansion.
"Xiao Wang Zonggou, meet the marshal."
Wanyan Zonggou followed Wanyan Xiyin into the water pavilion. When he saw Wanyan Zonghan, who had been pampered for many days and gained a lot of weight, he quickly bowed down and saluted.
"Zhao Gou, sit down and talk."
When Wanyan Zonghan saw Zonggou leaning on crutches, looking dark and thin, looking pitiful, he couldn't help but think of his son Xiebao.
Will this fat man also become darker and thinner?
"Thank you Marshal."
Wanyan Zonggou carefully sat down on an embroidered pillar and waited respectfully for Wanyan Zonghan to ask questions.
"Zhao Gou," Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan Zonggou, "You Han people are the best at internal fighting. Your family is the royal family of the Han people, and there are so many brothers... you must be good at this, right?"
Wanyan Zonggou was stunned by this question, but after thinking about it, he understood what was going on.
Because he has a good relationship with Wanyan Xiebao, the two often discuss world affairs together. Among them, Xiebao talks about military topics, while Zongguo’s topics are mainly about power and strategy. That’s why Xiebao behaves like this. Cognition.
In fact, he has a good relationship with everyone here in Dajin! He recognized Wanyan Wu Qimai as his father and even slept with his daughter. Afterwards, Wanyan Wu Qimai and his sons thought he slept well...
Wanyan Zongbi of Aguda's line also got along well with him. The two formed a fighting friendship when they invaded Huainan. Later Zongbi also acted as a matchmaker between him and Wanyan Yan.
Wanyan Zonggou sighed and asked: "The marshal must want to ask the new candidate who is familiar with Banbo Jilie, right?"
interesting!
Wanyan Zonghan raised his eyebrows, "Keep talking!"
Wanyan Zonggou said: "Wouldn't it be better for the Marshal to become the King of Qi? Is the Marshal's position as the King of Qi secure?"
"What do you say?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.
Wanyan Zonggou added: "In my humble opinion, it is very difficult for the marshal to fight for the position of knowing Ban Bojie... If the marshal does not fight for this position, then the two eldest princes will fight. The marshal supports it. Who, who is the future master Banbo Jilie!"
"How about establishing a young master?" Wanyan Zonghan asked again.
The young master he is talking about is Wanyan Hela, who is only ten years old this year and is the eldest grandson of Wanyan Aguda - Aguda's legitimate son is his fifth son Wanyan Zongjun, who died of injuries in a battle with the Liao people five years ago. .
Wanyan Zonghan and his confidants had discussed repeatedly these days, and they all felt that if Zonghan could not ascend the throne, it would be better to establish a young ruler.
Zonggou smiled and said: "The young master is weak and easy to control... But as long as the marshal has strength, what's the harm in establishing a eldest king? If the marshal has no strength, the young master cannot be used by others to deal with the marshal?"
And this young master...if Xiao Wang guessed correctly, he should be Wanyan Hela, right? "
Wanyan Zonghan was noncommittal, and Wanyan Zonggou continued: "If the throne is transferred to Taizu's lineage, and a young prince comes to the throne, then the ones who will benefit most will be the eldest prince, second prince, third prince and fourth prince of Emperor Taizu. The young prince relies on The first must be your biological uncle, and then your distant cousin!"
Marshal, your opponent is not the young master or the eldest king, but the many princes from the emperor's line and Taizu's line! If you establish a weak king, it will be beneficial to all the princes... but it will not be of great benefit to your lineage. "
That makes sense!
There are not many people in Zonghan's lineage, and their relationship with Wanyan Hela is far away. The young master Hela would not be particularly dependent on such a distant uncle... Instead, he would rely more on his own uncle.
And Wanyan Hela will unite with the two factions Wu Qimai and Zong Han because of the existence of a young master. Aguda's faction is already strong, and with the addition of a young master and a group of uncles... it won't take long for Zong Han's faction and Wu Qimai's descendants to attack.
"Do I want to support (Puluhu) Zongpan's accession to the throne?" Wanyan Zonghan looked disdainful.
Wanyan Zongpan didn’t have much ability or much merit, and he was very arrogant, which offended many people... However, Wanyan Zonggou married Zongpan’s sister, and also received Zongpan’s care, and his relationship with Zongpan is very good.
Wanyan Zonggou said with a smile: "It's not that you want to support Zong Pan, but Zong Pan is begging for your support... If you yourself say you won't fight first, then Zong Pan and Zong Qian will have to beg for your support!
Moreover, Zongpan is old and Hela is young. Old people will die first, young people will probably live longer. If Zongpan ascends the throne, then Mr. Xiebao Lang still has a chance... After all, among Mr. Xiebao's generation, who can compare with him? If Hela ascends the throne, can Xiebao live that long? Therefore, Mr. Xiebao had no objection to avoiding Hexi. "
Wanyan Zonghan nodded repeatedly, this Zhao Gou is indeed an expert in internal strife, every word makes sense!
"Then what good thing should I order?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.
Wanyan Zonggou smiled and said: "Of course I will be the King of Qi! Jingdong East Road is the richest territory in the Jin Kingdom today. If it is managed, it can raise 200,000 troops! If you propose to guard Jingdong for the King of Qi, Zongpan and Zongqian will be Promise! If you continue to support Zong Pan, then the Taizu line and the Emperor line will be more aggressive in the future, and your King Qi will be able to continue his work steadily."
