Inheriting the Song Dynasty

In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...

The 32nd Zhang Dangguo

Chapter 118 Chapter 32 Zhang Dangguo

Wanyan Wuzhu drew out his knife, but Wanyan Nianhan felt disdainful.

First of all, there are so many generals of the Western Army here, many of them are real brave generals on the battlefield, and there are also a lot of peripheral soldiers. It is impossible for a crooked man to hurt Bojilie, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army.

Secondly, although this meeting was only held in Yanjing, and although only two Bojilie were present, it was in fact a major occasion for two of the three major factions of the Great Jin Kingdom to hold "large-scale friendly consultations" on the main military operations of this year. Wanyan Wushu came up and ignored etiquette and called him by his name, and then drew his knife when he disagreed with him. This can only show that this young man is impatient and has lost his mind after a defeat in an expedition, showing his incompetence;

Finally, and most importantly, incompetence is not scary. What is scary is that Wanyan Wushu actually let everyone see his incompetence!

However, just as Nianhan sneered in his heart and looked calm on the outside, the next moment, Wanyan Wushu, who was under the attention of everyone, suddenly did something that no one expected... After the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty drew out the dagger, he did not threaten anyone. Instead, without saying a word, he cut his forehead in public!

White blades, red meat, and blood.

As everyone was stunned, Wanyan Wushu threw down his dagger again, knelt down facing north, kowtowed repeatedly, and even cried loudly:

"Dad, if you are still alive, please open your eyes and take a look. You have only been gone for five or six years, and your son has been bullied to this extent by the servants!"

Like everyone else, Nianhan was stunned at first, then he was stunned, and then he felt a chill in his heart and burst into anger... This Wanyan Fourth was too arrogant and shameless!

Is it worth it to fight for a grudge?

"Old Four!"

Sure enough, in this eerily quiet atmosphere, without anyone saying anything, Wanyan Aguda's eldest son, another person present, Bojilie, who was also the real leader of Aguda's faction at the time, Wanyan Oben, spoke out in time to rebuke him, and judging from his expression, he did not seem to be faking it. "Nianhan is our elder brother, not a family slave. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will ask the king to make you go back to Liaodong and never enter the pass again!"

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Wushu ignored the blood on his forehead and the bloodstains on the ground in front of him, and immediately turned around, slightly raised his buttocks and bowed to Nianhan, and made a serious gesture of apology, as if it was not him who cut his face and cursed him just now: "Brother Nianhan, I don't know the severity of the situation, and I spoke nonsense and offended you. Please punish me."

"Wuzhu, we are brothers, and you are young. It's okay for you to curse me when you are unhappy." Wanyan Nianhan was extremely angry, but he managed to hold it back and just complained slightly. "But you shouldn't have said anything about a slave... because that would have involved my father! And my father is the cousin of Emperor Taizu, and your uncle is the prime minister of the Great Jin! Your elder brother's Hulugbujilie inherited his position. If my father is the slave of Emperor Taizu, then your elder brother has also become the slave of our Jin emperor, right?"

"Drag him away!" Hulugbujilie Wanyan Oben, who was standing by, was slightly startled, and then he took over the conversation again, pointing at his fourth brother in the hall and saying, "Right here, whip him twenty times!"

The guard next to him hesitated for a moment, but in the fierce silence of the two guards, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward, dragged Jin Wushu to the threshold of the lobby of the Xingtai Shangshu Province, and did not dare to take off his pants, but just pulled open his shirt and executed the fourth prince from the back in public.

The sound of whipping was slow and heavy, and the scene in the Yanjing Xingtai Shangshu Province became quiet again to the point of being scary.

No one expected Wanyan Wushu to do this, but the fourth prince not only cut his own forehead with a knife, but also easily cut open all the outer curtains of the core power of the Jin Dynasty with just one sentence.

Of course, Nianhan was not a family slave. As Nianhan himself said, his father Wanyan Sagai was the cousin of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda and also the prime minister.

In fact, Wanyan Sagai's faction was the second largest faction within the Jurchens from the very beginning... and after inheriting his father's power, Nianhan himself also possessed one of the three main forces of the Jin Dynasty, and even the commander-in-chief of the strongest western army. After the death of Wanyan Wuliebu (Aguda's second son), he actually became the number one person in the army and the first meritorious minister of the founding of the country by relying on the huge military merits and prestige accumulated in the wars to destroy Liao and Song.

Therefore, of course Nianhan can be angry! He has the right to be angry! And he can openly force Wanyan Wushu to be punished... Not to mention Wanyan Wushu, a few years ago, Nianhan also led the incident of caning the current Jin emperor Wanyan Wuqimai! I have never heard that Emperor Wuqimai did something to Nianhan after being beaten with 20 sticks.

However, Nianhan is Nianhan, and others are others. With Jin Wushu's words just now, almost everyone has become sensitive to a problem, that is, no matter how chaotic the power inside the Jin Dynasty is, how they check and balance each other, how they have the spirit of tribal democracy, and how they are rapidly sinicized, and even how large the power vacuum is left under the coexistence of the Boghile system and the Duyuanshuaifu system...but an undeniable fact is that there is no room for others in the core power.

The three major factions of the Jin Dynasty.

The first is the Wanyan Wuqimai faction, he is the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, legitimate and natural;

The second is the Nianhan faction, and the source of Nianhan's power is too classic... political tradition, blood inheritance, military power, plus the prestige accumulated by personal military merits, and the natural safe haven of the distant branch of the Wanyan clan. The complexity and rationality of the situation can be written into a book such as "On What is Political Power";
