A few days after the withdrawal of the Mongol army, everything in the central capital returned to normal, and the group of opposition to Wanyan Changzhi, which was mainly organized by Wanyan Zongzheng, also began to act secretly at this time.

At midnight on this night, Tang Kuogong and Wu Lin Da Tianxi, two of Jin Shizong's concubines, quietly came to the Wanyan Sect's government to discuss the plan.

Wanyan Zongzheng did not alarm the family, and Li personally took them into the mansion and led them to his secret room to talk. After the three of them sat down, Tang Kuogong first said: "Prime Minister, now that Ji Jun of Wanyan Changzhi is not in Zhongdu, and yesterday, Zhongdu transferred another 30,000 horses to reinforce the northern border, and now there are only 30,000 horses stationed in Zhongdu, which can be regarded as empty, it is a good time for us to start an incident, I don't know what the prime minister is planning?" ”

Wu Lin replied to Tianxi: "Yes! The day before yesterday, King Yan and King Zheng also sent someone to write to me, asking me to ask the prime minister, now is a good time, why do you still want to start an incident as soon as possible? Prime Minister, do you have any concerns? ”

Wanyan Wanzheng nodded and said, "C-rank colt, it's not that the old man has concerns, but now is not the time!" ”

Wu Lin replied to Tianxi couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said: "Prime Minister, why is it not the time, I think it is very good to use the scriptures now, when do you plan to wait." ”

Wanyan Zongzheng glanced at him and said: "From our Dajin, although Wanyan Changzhi is not in the court, and the central capital is empty, but he is now sitting in Nanjing, holding an army of 100,000, once we take the initiative, even if we can capture Zhongdu immediately, but Wanyan Changzhi can return to the army immediately, at most five days, we can rush back to Zhongdu, at that time, how should we face his 100,000 army?" ”

Wu Lin replied to Tianxi when he heard it, and he couldn't answer at once. Wanyan Zongzheng then said: "And now we are now at war with the Southern Song Dynasty, not long ago the Mongol Tartars invaded the northern border of my Dajin, once we take the liberty of causing trouble, even if we can overthrow Wanyan Changzhi in one fell swoop and set up a new master, but if the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia take advantage of the situation, then what should we do, isn't this Dajin's country ruined?" ”

At this time, Tang Kuogong and Wu Lin Tianxi were also completely speechless, and after a while, Wu Lin answered Tianxi and said: "According to what the prime minister said, don't we have no chance to get into trouble at all?" ”

Wanyan Zongzheng shook his head and said, "This is naturally not. Of course, there are opportunities, but do we need to wait for a better time? ”

Tang Kuogong was puzzled and said, "Prime Minister, what better time is there?" ”

Wanyan Zongzheng smiled and said: "First of all, we have to wait for the northern border to settle down first, this is not difficult, just wait for the people and horses sent out to be in place, and the Mongolian Tatars will not be so easy to break through the boundary trench, and the northern border will naturally be stable." Secondly, we have to wait for Yan Changzhi to send troops from Nanjing, once he sends troops from Nanjing, it must be a decisive battle with the Song army, and after he and the Song army fight for two defeats and fear of injury, it will be a better opportunity for us to get started, and it will not give the Southern Song Dynasty and the Mongolian Tatars a chance to take advantage of! In the old man's opinion, what do the two colts think? ”

Tang Kuogong and Wu Lin answered Tianxi at this time, and they couldn't help admiring: "It's still the prime minister's old man who is serious and far-sighted, we are really ashamed of ourselves!" ”

Wanyan Zongzheng nodded and said, "It's good that the two donnies understand, then please ask the two donnies to explain Chunchu to King Yan and King Zheng, so that they must not be in a hurry, and they must wait patiently." ”

The two of them hurriedly said: "That's nature, that's nature." Then he got up and took his leave.

After Yan Zongzheng sent them away, he returned to the secret room and was silent in thought. In fact, he still has something to say to the two of them, that is, if you want to succeed, you can't rely on your own people alone, and you must also get the support of powerful generals who control military power. But this is precisely the biggest weakness of his own people, Wu Lin Da Tianxi may still have three or four thousand men and horses in his hands, but it is far from enough.

And now most of the military generals of the Jin State are either disciples from Huining Temple, or henchmen of Wanyan Changzhi, and it can be said that they are firmly controlled by Wanyan Changzhi's people. It is precisely because of this that Wanyan Changzhi has no fear and is not afraid of others turning the sky. However, this is not all without leakage, at least there are a few veterans of the Sejong period: such as Fusan Zhongyi, Sushi Lie Zhishou, Posa, and Shi Yanjing, who also control a considerable part of the military power. As long as you can move them to help, you can succeed.

Among these people, Wanyan Zongzheng repeatedly considered and compared, and finally chose Po Sa and Shi Yanjing as the breakthrough point, and sent his henchmen to lobby them. It's just that there is no response yet, so Wanyan Zongzheng doesn't dare to act rashly.

In addition, there is another important condition, that is, Wanyan Zongzheng also hopes to get in touch with the Southern Song Dynasty, and strive to reach some kind of agreement with the Southern Song Dynasty, in exchange for the secret support of the Southern Song Dynasty at a certain price.

In fact, in this regard, Wanyan Zongzheng has long been carried out in secret, and has also made some progress, first of all, he only bought goods as an excuse, and met some merchants from the Southern Song Dynasty. The upper class of the Jin State liked the luxury goods from the Southern Song Dynasty, although Dajin and the Southern Song Dynasty did not have any diplomatic residence, but the secret smuggling trade was still very frequent, and many Southern Song Dynasty merchants went to the Jin Kingdom to do business, which was an open secret, and the Dajin court also turned a blind eye to this. Therefore, it was very common to meet with powerful people and other merchants of the Southern Song Dynasty and order goods, and it did not arouse suspicion.

It was through this kind of conversation that Wanyan Zongzheng selected a few of the businessmen who had some connections with the upper echelons of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then these businessmen threaded the needle and threaded the needle, made contact with the high-level leaders of the Southern Song Dynasty, and conveyed his own meaning. And the Southern Song Dynasty also officially sent people to infiltrate the central capital and negotiate with Wanyan Zongzheng face-to-face, that is, to agree to meet today.

Therefore, after sending Tang Kuogong and Wulin Tianxi away, Wanyan Zongzheng returned to the secret room, and at this time, a confidant family member came to report: "Prime Minister, the person you are waiting for is here." ”

Wanyan Zongzheng nodded and said, "Okay, go and invite him over." ”

"Master, please look, at this time, the conditions set by Yan Zongzheng." The man said and handed a note to Guangyan.

Guangyan took the note, looked at the light, and looked at it carefully. It turned out that Wanyan Zongzheng proposed to the Great Song Dynasty to cede Qinfeng Road, Jingxi Road and other places to the Great Song Dynasty in exchange for the Great Song Dynasty's support for him.

After reading it, Guangyan asked, "Where is Jiankang's secret envoy now?" ”

Come to the human: "I live in Wanyan Zongzheng's house, because it is inconvenient to get off, I sent a villain to report to the master, I don't know what the master thinks of Wanyan Zongzheng's proposal." ”

Guangyan nodded, of course he knew that although the Jiankang secret envoy only came to Zhongdu alone, the detectives hidden in Zhongdu by the Great Song Dynasty were all mobilized, and if they wanted to pass on a little news from the Wanyan Sect government, they could still do it.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty was able to connect with Wanzhen Zongzheng, and Guangyan contributed to it. It was he who first found out that Wanyan Zongzheng had the intention of rebellion, so he reported it to Jiankang's staff department, suggesting that the Great Song Dynasty get in touch with Wanyan Zongzheng and profit from it.

Guangyan's suggestion was immediately recognized by the Ministry of Justice, and Guangyan took the lead in establishing a relationship with Wanyan Zongzheng, so Guangyan deliberately arranged some spies disguised as businessmen to contact Wanyan Zongzheng, and intentionally or unintentionally hinted that they also had some connections among the high-level leaders of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Wanyan Zongzheng also had this idea for a long time, and the two sides immediately hit it off. After a few tentative contacts, we finally got to the point. The Jiankang Department also sent a special envoy to Zhongdu to talk to Wanyan Zongzheng in person.

Guangyan asked again, "Then what does the imperial court mean?" ”

The man said: "Now that the Jin army is invading the south, if the Jin country is in civil strife, it will be a good opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty, so the imperial court believes that it should do everything possible to prompt Wanyan Zongzheng to launch a rebellion as soon as possible, and the larger the scale of the trouble, the better, if necessary, you can mobilize the manpower of Zhongdu to help Wanyan Zongzheng launch a rebellion in secret." ”

Guangyan nodded and said, "Then does the imperial court have any conditions for him?" As he spoke, he raised the letter in his hand and said, "Can the imperial court agree to such conditions?" ”

The man said: "The imperial court means that no matter what conditions Wanyan Zongzheng offers, he can agree to it." As long as we urge him to launch a rebellion, the secret envoy did not agree, and wanted to delay him for a while and bargain again, so that Wanyan Zongzheng would believe in our sincerity. Moreover, the master was also most familiar with him and the situation in Zhongdu, so the imperial court wanted to hear the master's opinion. ”

Guangyan nodded and said: "The idea of the imperial court is good, and you have done a good job of wanting to capture the old people, but Wanyan Zongzheng is a very deep city, and he is scheming, although he is negotiating with my Great Song, but in his heart, he must be guarding against my Great Song, and he will not launch a rebellion until it is perfect, so Lao Na suggested that the imperial court must not be in a hurry in prompting Wanyan Zongzheng to rebel, and it is better to wait for the right time." ”

The man said, "What kind of time does the master think Wanyan Zongzheng will be waiting for?" ”

Guangyan said: "Ju Laona's opinion, he wants to wait until Yan Changzhi and my Da Song fight until they are both defeated. ”

The man was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "What the master said is reasonable, and I will immediately send this suggestion back to the imperial court in the next meeting and listen to the decision of the imperial court." ”
