As we all know, before making up one's mind to take action, politics has always been an art of language, which emphasizes deception and trickery, and hopes to link forces through deception and trickery to continue deception and trickery. But sometimes, choosing a recognized honest person to speak the truth can have a surprising effect.

For example, right now, for example, in Loushi.

In fact, after more than half a year of political struggle, the top leaders of the Jin Dynasty gradually became tired and exhausted, and the three major factions also saw the limits of their own power... Nianhan won a great victory, but as a person who was chosen by Aguda to be in the succession sequence, he could never get involved in the throne himself, nor could he eliminate the other two families; and this time, the other two families were beaten by Nianhan to the point of being on the verge of death, and were already in a state of peace.

In other words, people, both above and below, inside and outside, all desire to stop fighting and restore stability.

At this time, Wanyan Loushi, a man with flawless political ethics and personal character, came over to serve as the final connector and announcer for Yin Shuke's long-planned compromise plan, and it immediately produced miraculous results.

Wuzhu was willing to help his brother fight for the throne at first because he had failed before and needed political struggle to divert his attention. He himself had no spontaneous willingness because it was unprofitable. Later, when his position was stable, he just wanted to go south to start a war.

Now, Lou Shi's arrival greatly catered to Wuzhu, who now had the same great motivation as Lou Shi to end this matter. Moreover, to be fair, Yin Shuke's plan was also quite beneficial to him (making his own nephew the king was even more beneficial than making his two elder brothers the king), so after Lou Shi reported the names of Yin Shuke and Talan, he immediately joined this temporary political alliance.

Not only that, unlike Lou Shi who was forced to do business, Wuzhu, as the fourth son of Aguda, had far greater political activism than others. In order to avoid any further complications, the determined fourth prince personally stepped forward that night and mobilized several of his brothers who had just reached adulthood but did not have enough say. They united and forced his two brothers to abdicate in his own mansion.

They were all rough men, and the process of forcing the emperor to abdicate was straightforward but unremarkable.

The split between the eldest prince Wanyan Ouben and the third prince Wanyan Erlido caused unrest within the entire faction, and the external control was greatly weakened. Moreover, since the two men were divided, the probability of winning was not high... Ouben was betrayed, and he was angry and a little depressed, while Erlido did not expect that the situation would be so difficult under Nianhan's pie-dividing tactics. If he failed to attack, he was in a dilemma. At this time, replacing him with another nephew was an acceptable compromise for both of them.

After all, the meat is still rotten in the pot.

And in the final analysis, this is precisely the fundamental reason why Yin Shu could be so calm... He had endured until now, and suddenly made a move. On the one hand, Lou Shi's sudden attack had caused the overall situation to be unstable, and there was no time to delay; on the other hand, the method he heard from Talai was indeed very feasible, and it took into account the fundamental interests of Aguda's direct lineage and Nianhan's core needs.

After all, as a powerful official who controls half of the country and is known as the Western Court, if Nianhan really has to choose to attack one of the other two families in the final decision, of course, attacking the king is the most realistic and profitable.

So, that night, Aguda's sons reached an agreement in the residence of the Fourth Prince in Yanjing and decided to accept "Nianhan's proposal" and formally merge with Nianhan's line on the condition of enthroning their own orphaned nephew.

This matter is not only of great importance, but more importantly, once delayed and someone changes his mind, it will be useless. So Wuzhu feasted with his brothers at home, ready to hold these people back all night long. At the same time, he asked Lou Shi, who was waiting in the other courtyard, to go and see Yin Shuke as soon as possible.

At this time, Yin Shuke's identity as the garrison commander of Yanjing played a huge role - the news came in late at night, and according to the rules, even the prince would have difficulty traveling, but the garrison commander who controlled the armed forces of Yanjing could travel freely.

Therefore, Yin Shu went straight to see Wanyan Xiyin first, and easily convinced the Marshal's Right Supervisor, whose mind was full of sinic reforms, with the theory of "eldest son". Then he went to visit the Marshal Nianhan together with Lou Shi and Xiyin.

Let’s say that Nianhan’s faction, in terms of territory, includes Shanxi, Shaanxi, the western part of the former Yanyun area (now Yanjing is also in his hands), and the western states of the Hebei Plain; in terms of foundation, it is the 100,000-strong Western Route Army; politically speaking, it is the so-called distant branch of the Wanyan faction... But no matter how you look at it, the three leaders of this faction from Nianhan are none other than Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Loushi, and Wanyan Xiyin.

From this angle, it is enough to see Nianhan's strength and ability. Lou Shi is currently the best general of the Jurchens, Xi Yin is the best internal affairs strategist of the Jurchens, and Yin Shuke is the second most powerful member of the Jurchen royal family and the second best general of the Jurchens. He is also recognized as a person with great talent in internal affairs strategy.

But these three people were just vassals and subordinates of Nianhan.

However, this can also be said the other way around. If he had not controlled these people completely, how could Nianhan have been able to establish his own faction as early as the time of Aguda, and beat the king Guguai with a stick as early as when Wuqimai ascended the throne, and how could he now have such power that he could put the legitimate king and Taizu's direct descendants under great pressure to the point of suffocating them?

But no matter what, no matter what Nianhan had in mind and what his attitude was, facing the three people who came to visit him late at night, the Marshal still chose to open the door to greet them... Otherwise? Was it really because of those three provinces and six ministries and the dispatch of troops to the south that he had to remove two of the three legs of his chair?

The Grand Marshal is not some ignorant emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
