If this kind of person returns to Yanjing at this time, I'm afraid something might happen in the court!
However, being in public, and with everyone's different positions, it was difficult to communicate, so he could only suppress all his doubts, force a smile, and then arrive at the Shangshu Terrace on time.
When we got here, we saw that the Shangshu Terrace was already crowded with people, with ceremonial guards, soldiers, and flags everywhere, and the dignitaries of Yanjing could be seen everywhere.
Of course, Qin Huizhi and his group did not have to wait outside at all. Instead, they abandoned their guards and entered the Shangshu Terrace. They went directly into the main hall of the Shangshu Terrace and paid homage to the king and two of the three ruling kings.
Immediately, Wanyan Erlido, the Prime Minister of the Prince of Jin's Capital Province, and Wanyan Wushu, the Prime Minister of the Prince of Wei's Central Government, invited the king, who was also dressed in military uniform, to leave the hall.
The three uncles and nephews came outside the hall and mounted their horses directly on the open space outside the hall. Then the Deputy Prime Minister of the Capital Province Wanyan Xiyin, the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council Qin Hui, as well as Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Talan, Wanyan Wuye, Wanyan Pujianu, Wulinda Zanmo, Wulinda Taiyu, Han Fang, Hong Ya... and many other Jurchen nobles, senior central officials, and even middle-level civil and military officials like Zheng Xiunian, also mounted their horses and surrounded the three of them. The emperor was slightly in front, and the two kings lagged behind by half a horse's length, and then they left the Secretariat together.
When they came outside, the chiefs of various tribes, dignitaries of Yanjing, and military officers of all levels who were waiting there drew their swords and cheered.
In the end, under the leadership of Hezhameng'an, the emperor, they gradually became united. They first shouted together, "May the king live to be 120 years old!" and then they shouted, "May His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei be blessed, the former will never get sick, and the latter will never be injured."
After a while, the two Heza Meng'ans led the way, and people from all families and tribes brought their warriors to follow them. They walked along the main road in Yanjing City, all the way north and out of Yanjing City.
Then, the logistics team waiting outside the city also caught up in due time. At this time, Wulinda Taiyu also left the team early, bypassed the west of the city, and caught up with the emperor with the five Meng'an who had been prepared long ago, and went north with him.
It turned out that the former young king had his birthday in early autumn, and after this birthday, he was already fifteen years old. Since he was fifteen years old, as the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, which founded its country on military force, he had to show some bravery.
Today, everyone is making such a fuss because they are preparing to accompany the Great Jin Emperor on his first trip to the capital for the autumn hunt.
In order to ensure the success of this autumn hunting, Wanyan Woben, the King of Liao, the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister, who was half responsible for the upbringing of this king, led the remaining two Heza Meng'ans out of the pass early to make preparations.
The so-called Prime Minister of the Jin Prince's capital province, Wanyan Erlido, also turned back directly after leaving the city ten miles away.
Finally, King Wei Wanyan Wushu assisted the king and led a large autumn hunting team all the way north. The first stop of their autumn hunting destination was not the old capital of the Jin Dynasty, Dading Prefecture, or Liaoyang Prefecture in the northeast, but the old capital of the Liao Dynasty, Linhuang Prefecture, commonly known as Shangjing.
That is Yelu Dashi’s hometown.
In fact, this move is somewhat inevitable... In the past, the Liao emperor kept visiting the Jurchen leaders to express his condolences for the sake of national stability. Today, the Jurchen emperor must also visit the Khitan leaders to express his condolences for the sake of national stability.
It's a matter of reciprocity.
Especially at this moment, considering the increasing activity and growth of the Mongols to the west of Linhuang Prefecture, and considering the strong diplomatic encirclement alliance policy of Emperor Zhao to the south, going there at this time should greatly deter the Eastern Mongolian King Hebula and the Khitan tribes of Linhuang Prefecture, as well as those fence-sitters caught between the Eastern Mongolian Alliance under Hebula and Linhuang Prefecture.
It was a clear and cool autumn day, the Jurchen cavalry were still famous and their military discipline was still in place. In addition, this was the first time that the king, at the age of fifteen, had worn military uniforms and had great political significance. Therefore, few people dared to cause trouble on the journey north.
So within a few days, the imperial carriage arrived safely at Xinghua (now Chengde), an important place outside the Great Wall, and stationed on the banks of the Luan River.
That evening, Wei Wang Wanyan Wushu presided over a "royal military meeting" and decided to abandon the northeastern Dading Prefecture and directly follow the open area of the upper reaches of the Luan River to Linhuang Prefecture... There are three reasons:
First, to prevent such a large group from entering busy areas and disturbing the people, especially the autumn harvest;
Secondly, the open area in the upper reaches of the Luan River is suitable for marching and hunting;
Thirdly, it would be easier to intimidate the Mongols by going west, and it would be easier to intimidate the Khitans by quickly reaching Linhuang Prefecture.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei speaks very logically, who dares to object?
Naturally, they all passed.
It must be known that since Wanyan Wushu retreated from Xijing in disgrace last year, many old-school dignitaries outside the Great Wall took the opportunity to attack His Royal Highness the King of Wei under the banner of tribal democracy... However, no one expected that not only the generals of the Eastern Route Army, who had always been the direct descendants of the three Wanyan brothers, but also the generals of the Western Route Army would support Wanyan Wushu.
Following Balisu, the generals of the Western Army, along with the generals of the Eastern Army, wrote a letter to express their opinions. The gist of the letter was that it was not the King of Wei's fault this time. It was just that the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty on the opposite side was a scheming person. He happened to seize the moment when the Great Jin Kingdom was preparing for a strategic retreat, and took advantage of the fact that the Great Jin Kingdom was unable to make up its mind to cross the river for a decisive battle, and launched a large-scale attack, making it seem as if the Song people on the opposite side had taken a great advantage.
In fact, those places were the useless ones that the country was ready to give up.
The only problem was Xixia. We should have handed these useless things over to Xixia and then secured the flanks, but Xixia committed suicide and it was too late to save them.
In a word, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei did not make any mistakes, and the Western Army was still brave, but his teammates were too bad and the opponent was too cunning.
Even Wanyan Huo Nu, who returned to Hedong, wrote a letter to express her approval of Wanyan Wushu... This is understandable, because Wanyan Wushu originally went out to solve Huo Nu's separatist problem, and he remained tolerant of Huo Nu throughout the process, which was almost equivalent to pardoning Huo Nu's separatist behavior several times.
