The Twelve Golden Princes 1
On August 25, Wan Yan Yong left the generals Xiao Shu Luding, Wan Yan Sijing, Gao Jianzhong, Yang Woyan and others to guard the passes, and then led other ministers back to Zhongdu.
After returning to Beijing, Wan Yanyong immediately issued an edict to exempt Nanjing Road from taxes for one year, and reduce taxes by half in Shandong Road, Hebei Road and other places. In order to stabilize the situation in these places. They also collected grain from all over the country and transported it to these three roads one after another, so as to relieve the shortage of food in these three routes.
Taishi Zhang Hao suggested in a letter: Since the court has stopped using troops against the Song Dynasty, it can temporarily resume the management of military affairs by the Privy Council without setting up the Marshal's Mansion, so as to show that the court has no intention of conquest and reassure the people. Originally, the military system of the Jin State set up a Privy Council to be in charge of the military in peacetime, and in wartime, the Privy Council was changed to the Marshal's Office. 1. The official position should be changed accordingly.
After Yan Yong saw the table, he immediately agreed, and at the same time, Su Shi Lie Zhining resigned. After Yan Yong saw the table, he kept it again and again before he took it back. Wan Yanyong made a series of adjustments to the personnel arrangements of the DPRK and China. The Jin State is based on Shangshu Province as the administrative center, with a total of nine ruling ministers. With Taishi Zhang Hao as the Shangshu Order, Fusan Zhongyi as the left prime minister, Zongzheng as the right prime minister, Sushi Lie Liangbi and Wanyan Fushou as the Pingzhang political affairs, Sushi Lie Zhining as the Shangshu Zuocheng, Bai Yanjing as the Shangshu Right Cheng, Shi Ju, Cai Songnian as the governor of the political affairs. Li Shi is the imperial envoy.
He also took Po Sa as the privy envoy, Wanyan Mouyan as the envoy of the Xingping Army, the deputy envoy of the privy council, and Wanyan Changzhi as the envoy of the Tianshun Army, signed the Privy Council, and was in charge of the military. Su Baoheng was the envoy of the Henghai Navy, the head of Hebei West Road, and was stationed in Bohai County.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original name of the capital was Yanjing, and after the fifth year of Jin Dade (1153), Dajin began to try to move the capital to Zhongdu, and it took fifteen years to go. At that time, the force was overwhelming to complete the relocation of the capital to serve Hailing Wang Wanyan Liang at this time has already been in a different place, but the capital has changed its fate, in order to become a large and prosperous city in China, the market is more prosperous, and the streets are crowded, although there are still Han people, but among them, there are many people of various ethnic groups such as Jurchen, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, etc., and there are many foreigners from the Western Regions, Dongying, and Goryeo.
"I still remember that I was only seven years old that year, and I moved to Zhongdu with my father, and I still remember that although the Zhongdu Imperial Palace at that time was prosperous, the streets outside the palace were very deserted, and the whole city was large but simple and simple. At that time, Gu had just changed its name to Zhongdu, and many ordinary people were not used to it, and they were all Yanjing and Yanjing when they opened their mouths. Unexpectedly, many years have passed in a flash, and the Yandian Yijing has become the most prosperous city in our Dajin. Changzhi, when did you first come to Zhongdu? Wanyan Ruixian turned sideways slightly, and Wanyan Changzhi beside him asked.
She is wearing a Han woman's outfit today, with a straight veil wrapped in a brocade with silk and flowers on her upper body, and a long dress with a heron pattern batik pleated pin gold lined with heron and bird patterns, highlighting her delicate and tall figure. The jet-black ink-dyed hair was tied into a bun, a double-strand silver hairpin was inserted, and the eyes were rippling with crystal brilliance.
Wan Yan Chang's way: "These are just the result of Wan Yan Liang's poor soldiers, regardless of the people's strength, the consumption of the national treasury, and extremely poor luxury." The reversal only made the treasury empty, and the people complained. "He is dressed in Jurchen clothes today, wearing a four-strap scarf on his head, a long robe with a disc collar, a Taohan belt around his waist, and black leather boots on his feet. With his tall and majestic figure, he looks radiant and vigorous. The two walked side by side, attracting countless envious eyes.
Wanyan Ruixian glanced sideways slightly, looking at Wanyan Changzhi: "Chang Zhu, King Xuling killed your whole family, and it is natural for you to hate him." But King Yijing has been dead for many years, which does not necessarily negate everything that King Hailing has done. There was affection in her eyes: "I have always thought that you are a hero who stands up to the sky and has a broad heart. Don't let hatred blind you. ”
Wan Yan Changzhi listened and nodded.
Wanyan Ruixian said: "Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, and Emperor Yang of Sui dug the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, both of which were actions that cost the people and money, and also caused the people to be resentful. However, the Great Wall and the canal benefited the Jiaodai, Qin, the Han and Tang dynasties after the Sui Dynasty all created a prosperous generation, which also stained many benefits of the Qin and Sui dynasties. ”
Wanyan Changzhi nodded and said, "Your opinion is indeed very unique. ”
Wanyan Ruixian "chuckled, chuckled" and said: "No, let's just say that now Zhongdu is the capital of my Dajin, which is much better than the original Huining Mansion in that respect." At the beginning, King Hailing moved the capital to Zhongdu, although his scarf also took a lot of trouble to dismantle and consumed a lot of our Dajin's national strength, but the benefits brought by it were also obvious. Now that my Dajin can move to prosperity for a while, I can't help but say that there is also the credit of King Hailing in this. ”
Wanyan Changzhi also had to admit that Wanyan Ruixian's opinion was indeed reasonable. He spent 12 years in Huining Temple, in addition to practicing martial arts and learning the art of war, he also did not stop in terms of scriptures, history, children, and collections. The topography of Zhongdu is dangerous, and the transportation is convenient, which is indeed an excellent place to build a capital for Dajin, which expands its land.
Wanyan Ruixian is full of fun, she has been well-read since she was a child, smart and studious. It's just that she is a woman and can't show her talents. Although the Jurchens do not discriminate against women like the Han Chinese, it is difficult for a woman to stand out in this male-dominated world. Her father Wanyan Fushou has been fighting outside all the year round, and several girlfriends can only talk about some embroidery, female popularity, at most poetry and lyrics. No one can talk to her about the world's major events, and it is rare to be with Wanyan Changzhi to speak freely.
She continued: "Now our dynasty also basically follows the system of King Hailing, promotes sinicization, supports sinology, advocates Confucianism, attaches importance to education, and widens the imperial examination. This also shows that the restructuring of King Hailing is correct. It's just that he was too hasty in the big matter of cutting Song. At that time, it was only five years to move the capital, and the people's power had not yet recovered, and they wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, but the result was that the people's power was incalculable. ”
However, Wanyan Changzhi has a different opinion on the matter of the sinicization of the Jurchens, saying: "If we Jurchens completely accept the sinicization, then what is the difference between us and the Han people." Moreover, in my opinion, although Confucianism can help people improve their self-cultivation and morality, most of them are only rhetoric and nothing can be done. It will only make people lose their old ways, stick to themselves, and not want to forge ahead. Therefore, the current Han people have changed the martial spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties, and they are becoming more and more weak, so as to be in a corner of each other's peace, and survive for a long time. ”
Wanyan Ruixian sighed and said, "What you said is also reasonable, but what method can be used to rule this vast land without the Han people's Confucian method of governing the country?" Do you think you rely on our Jurchens' simple tricks to overcome Meng'an? Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, trembling when trembling, like walking on thin ice. We Dajin could have won the country immediately, but we couldn't rule the country immediately. ”
After hearing this, Yan Changzhi also smiled bitterly. In fact, the topic that the two of them are talking about is not new, and some knowledgeable Jurchens are also thinking about this issue. And every northern nomadic who has occupied the Central Plains in history has also encountered this problem, either being assimilated by the Han and becoming a part of the Han people, or refusing to assimilate, and finally being driven out of the Central Plains by a powerful Han regime.
The two were talking when suddenly there was a commotion in the street, and people shouted and neighed. I saw a group of Tsing Yi knights coming on horseback, and five or six people in front of them opened the way, each holding a leather whip as long as a foot long, and was driving passers-by. Pedestrians have fled to both sides, and many of the small merchants and vendors on the roadside have been overturned, and there are pedestrians who can't dodge and are swept down by horses, screaming under the hooves of horses.
Wan Yan Changyi frowned, this is not like a regular army, probably the family of the prince and minister, he has been an official for several years, but most of the battles are outside, and he rarely lives in Zhongdu, and it is the first time he has seen such an arrogant and domineering scene. At this time, Wanyan Ruixian pulled his sleeve and said, "Let's avoid it." ”
