It's late April, the weather is getting darker, and people are changing into thin shirts. But in Taishi Zhang Hao's mansion, the doors and windows of an inner room were still tightly closed, and the door was filled with the smell of Chinese herbs. And Dajin's elders of the Five Dynasties, Shang Shuling, and Taishi Zhang Hao were still covered with a thick quilt at this time, lying quietly on the hospital bed.

Since dissuading Wanyan Yungong from driving his own expedition and rescuing the Western Xia, and being forcibly ordered by Wanyan Yungong in public in the court, as an elder of the Four Dynasties and the emperor's teacher, he didn't expect to be treated like this, Zhang Hao blocked his heart and became ill when he returned to the house. Until now, Yijing has been lying in bed for months.

During this period, Daikin's situation also underwent earth-shaking changes, and Wanyan Yungong was also defeated and died at this time, and completely lost to Wanyan Changzhi in the battle for the throne. It is also the third time in less than 30 years that Dajin killed the emperor and seized the throne after Yan Liang in the ninth year of the emperor's reign (1149) and Yan Yong in the sixth year of Zhenglong (1161). The frequency of changing kings, compared with the Five Dynasties period, is not too much.

Although Wanyan Changzhi did not return to Zhongdu to hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible after defeating Wanyan Yungong, he went to Huining Mansion in Shangjing to meet Pufeng. But at this time, everyone knows that Wanyan Changzhi is in power and cannot be shaken.

Therefore, when Wanyan Changzhi returned to Zhongdu from Shangjing, although he had not officially ascended the throne, the people who welcomed him into the city shouted "Long live" to him impatiently, including Guo Xiajiao, Shi Mo Yanshan, Pu Cha Dingzhu and others who were originally in the old department, and there were also Fusan Zhongyi, Fushi Lie Zhining, Xiao Sa, Bai Yanjing who surrendered on the battlefield, as well as Wanyan Zongzheng, Sushi Lie Liangbi and others who returned to the Zhongdu of Liuning. Only some of the ministers of the clan and the kings born to Sejong did not participate in the welcome, but they could not change the situation.

After Wanyan Changzhi returned to Zhongdu, he first ordered that the ministers of the Wanyan Yungong era would take up their original positions, and the Fenglu properties of the clan and the kings would remain unchanged. This move quickly calmed the hearts of the people in Zhongdu, and also made his prestige and.

Although Zhang Hao was sick in bed, he was an old minister of the Four Dynasties after all, and he was deeply rooted. I know everything that happened to Zhongdu and even Daikin. But what Zhang Hao didn't expect was that Wanyan Changzhi actually went to his house in person to visit his illness, and promised that after Zhang Hao recovered from his illness, he would still serve as Shangshuling and be in charge of the government.

However, although Zhang Hao was quite moved, he knew in his heart that Wanyan Changzhi still valued his own influence, and he was already a seventy-six-year-old person, and he had gone through five dynasties, which was really enough. Even if it's good, I don't want to wade into this muddy water again. What's more, I'm afraid that this disease will have to be stopped.

However, Zhang Hao also knows the current situation, although Wanyan Changzhi is rebelling and seizing the throne, but the overall situation is under control, it is inevitable to be called the emperor, and at the same time, Wanyan Changzhi's talent is indeed much higher than Wanyan Yungong. The Jin Kingdom did not have as many loyal and dead festivals as the Song Dynasty, so on the second day of Yan Changzhi's visit, Zhang Hao officially stood on the table.

Zhang Hao lay on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and recalled what had happened to Dajin in the past few months, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. At this time, the old housekeeper Zhang Fu walked into the inner room lightly, leaned into Zhang Hao's ear, and said, "Old lady, the ninth young master is here, do you want to see him." ”

Zhang Hao suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Is it Boyi?" Bring him to me. Then he commanded the maid to help herself to sit up straight on the bed.

Not long after Zhang Fu went out, he led Zhang Hu in, and then retreated.

Zhang Hu knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhang Hao four times first, and said, "I've seen my grandfather." Then he stood up. Only then did I see that Zhang Hao was described as haggard and sick. Although Zhang Hu does not know medical skills, he can also see that Zhang Hao is terminally ill and panicked, and I am afraid that there is not much to go.

In Zhang Hu's heart, he couldn't tell what it was like. Although he is also Zhang Hao's grandson, he was born by his mother, and when he was young, his mother and son were not welcomed in the Zhang family, and after Zhang Hu became an adult, he moved out of the Zhang family with his mother and set up his own door. He has always hoped to rely on his own efforts to become famous, and teach those who have given their mother and son white eyes to see, so as to raise his eyebrows.

After meeting Wanyan Changzhi, who appreciated his talent, and was hired by him as a staff member, Zhang Hu immediately realized that his opportunity to stand out had come. Therefore, I tried my best to help myself grow up. On the one hand, it is to repay the grace of Yan Changzhi's acquaintance, and on the other hand, it is also because once Yan Changzhi's major event is successful, as his chief staff, he will inevitably be reused.

Although Zhang Hu did not go into battle to kill during Wanyan Changzhi's move, he stayed in the rear of Nanjing, helping Wanyan Chen monk to resist the Song army on the one hand, and planning grain and grass logistics on the other hand, stabilizing the situation in Nanjing and Shandong, so that Wanyan Changzhi could be distracted and bent on conquest. It's really indispensable. Moreover, after Yan Changzhi captured the central capital, the first thing he thought of was to transfer Zhang Hu from Nanjing to help him preside over government affairs.

After Zhang Hu came to Zhongdu, he immediately came to see Zhang Hao. Although he also knew that Zhang Hao was sick, he didn't expect to be so sick, although he was quite resentful of Zhang Hao, but after all, he was a flesh and blood relative, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad at this time. I didn't know how to say anything.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said, "Boyi, it's you who came back, when did you arrive in Zhongdu." ”

Zhang Hu said: "I only arrived yesterday. ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said: "Now that Wanyan Changzhi is under control of the overall situation, you are Wanyan Changzhi's confidant and confidant, and you will definitely be reused by him, and it is also said that you can wait to become an official in the court." You should be happy. ”

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, on the way to Zhongdu, he was really excited, and thought about a lot of scenes after meeting Zhang Hao, how high-spirited he would be, and how Zhang Hao would look at himself. But after seeing Zhang Hao, maybe seeing Zhang Hao seriously ill like this, for a while, those who wanted to boast and show off in front of Zhang Hao couldn't say anything.

Zhang Hao then smiled: "For so many years, haven't you always wanted to prove that if you leave the Zhang family, you can also achieve fame and get ahead?" Now you have done it. I believe that those uncles and brothers of yours will never think that they will be impressed by you. ”

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Zhang Hu should have been satisfied, but somehow, he found that he was not as happy as he imagined.

At this time, Zhang Hao said again: "Now that you have achieved your wish, when do you plan to return to Zhang's house?" ”

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the cold treatment and white eyes he had received in the Zhang family in the past, and the contempt and contempt and contempt of his uncle and brother for his mother and son, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of resentment again. I wanted to have a seizure, but looking at Zhang Hao's appearance, I finally endured it and said, "Grandfather, I haven't thought about this matter yet." And I've just arrived in Zhongdu now, and I'm very busy with all kinds of affairs, and I really don't have time to think about this matter, not to mention such a big event, I have to inform my mother, and when I'm busy for a while, I'll discuss it with my mother and make a decision. ”

Zhang Hao was silent for a long time before he said: "Okay, you have become a big man, you can make your own decisions about everything, everything is up to you." Then he stopped talking.

Zhang Hu also felt that he had nothing to say, and finally said, "Grandfather, take care of your body and take care of your illness." I'll quit first. ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhang Hu kowtowed to Zhang Hao again, and then got up to leave.

After coming out of Zhang Hao's house, Zhang Hu didn't know what he felt, he just felt ignorant, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to walk along the street.

I hadn't walked more than a dozen steps, and suddenly I heard someone shouting across the street: "Brother Boyi, it turns out that you are here." ”

Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw Wan Yan Changzhi standing on the side of the street, looking at himself, with his wife Wan Yan Ruixian beside him, holding his son Wan Chin Chenglin. In fact, in the past few years, Wanyan has married a three-room concubine and gave birth to a boy and a girl. The boy was named Wanyan Chenghui, and the girl was named Wanyan Feiyan. But the one in charge at home is still Wanyan Ruixian.

Zhang Hu hurriedly walked over a few steps and arched his hand: "My lord, why did you come here?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said with a smile: "I am idle in the house, so I take my wife and children out for a walk, and by the way, I can also take a look at the folk customs and market conditions in Zhongdu." Bo Yi is here, could it be to visit Lord Lingzu? ”

Zhang Hu couldn't help but be surprised. I have never told others about my life experience, how did Wanyan Changzhi know. And obviously, Wanyan Changzhi has known it for a long time, will he blame himself for not telling the truth. I couldn't help but say, "My lord, I ......"

Wan Yan Changzhi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Bo Yi wants to ask me, how did you know?" It's not hidden, before the Southern Expedition, Mrs. Zhang told me with the scriptures. It's just that Mrs. Zhang asked me not to tell Bo Yi at that time, so I kept hiding it from Bo Yi, and I hope Bo Yi won't be surprised. ”

Zhang Hu only felt that he had fallen into the clouds, as if he had finished asking Yan Changzhi, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Why is this?" ”

"Actually, Mrs. Zhang told me Boyi's life experience at that time, and I also asked the old lady like this, and he said that Boyi has extraordinary qualifications since he was a child, and his future is immeasurable. But I am afraid that Bo Yi will rely on the shadow of the old lady, and the official position will be easy, but he will not want to forge ahead. That's why Bo Yi is out to grind, and he has been secretly taking care of you for the past few years. ”

Zhang Hu's whole body was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "My lord, what did you say?" Is this true? ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said: "Actually, I didn't explain it, let Bo Yi and the old lady resolve this misunderstanding by themselves, but I just saw Bo Yi come out of the Taishi Mansion with a bad face, and there seems to be no relief between him and the old lady, but I think the old lady is afraid that time is running out, so I can't help but say it." Please also ask Boyi to ......"

Before he finished his words, Zhang Hu arched his hand to him and said, "My lord, go slowly, please forgive Zhang Hu for not accompanying him." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and hurriedly walked towards the Taishi Mansion.

Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Ruixian watched Zhang Hu's back disappear into the Taishi's mansion, Wanyan Ruixian smiled slightly: "I hope that this time their ancestors and grandchildren can clear up the misunderstanding and release their previous suspicions." It also allows the old lady to walk with peace of mind. ”

On May 22, Wanyan Changzhi held an enthronement ceremony in Zhongdu, and Pufeng also sent four disciples to Zhongdu to participate in the ceremony in accordance with his promise to show his support for Wanyan Changzhi. And the eldest disciple Kumarosh presided over the enthronement ceremony.

After laying the heavens and the earth after Yan Changzhi's worship, Kumarosh brought him a crown, and then sat on the dragon chair to accept the congratulations of the civil and military officials, and finally officially became the Dajin Emperor.

After ascending the throne, Wanyan Changzhi changed Yuan Chongyou, and posthumously honored his father Wanyan Zongbi as Xianzong, Wanyan Ruixian as the queen, Wanyan Chenglin as the prince, Wanyan Chenghui as the king of Lu, and Wanyan Feiyan as the princess of Qi. and demoted Wanyan Yungong to the king of Luling.

Subsequently, Wanyan Changzhi made some adjustments to Dajin's official system, and in terms of the ruling ministers, he abolished the position of Shangshu and left and right, and only set up seven as the ruling ministers, and his father-in-law Wanyan Fushou was the Shangshu order, Fusan Zhongyi and Wanyan Zongzheng were the prime ministers of Shangshu, and Su Shi Lieliangbi and Nalan Ming'an were the political affairs of Pingzhang, and Bai Yanjing and Zhang Hu were the governors. The six books of Shangshu still use the original officials.

In terms of military affairs, Wanyan Changzhi still retained the official position of privy councillor, but restored the positions of marshal and deputy marshal of the left and right, and was concurrently served by the chief of the privy council, and the monk Wanyan Chen was named the king of Dongping County, the marshal of the capital and the privy envoy, and the left and right deputy marshals and deputy privy envoys of the left and right Shi Lie Zhining and Bo Sa were the deputy marshals and privy envoys, and Guo Yu and Yang Woyan were the left and right supervisors of the army and the privy council. and ordered Guo Shrimp Toad to be the envoy to Nanjing to prevent the Southern Song Dynasty. Yang Woyan was the envoy to Xijing to guard against the Mongols.

Shi Mo Yanshan, Pu Cha Dingzhu, Shi Dingyue, Pu Atong four people were all named Jiedu envoys, and the other disciples of Huining Temple had their own gifts, and they were assigned to garrison in various places.

After Yan Liang seized the throne, he had killed the ministers of the clan, so now there are not many clans left in the Jin country, but Jin Shizong's children are many, among the sons in addition to Wan Yan Yungong, there are nine people, and even to the king, according to the age of the king, in order of Zhao Wang Wan Yan Yan, Yue Wang Wan Yan Xielu, Yan Wang Wan Yan Yunzhong, Yue Wang Wan Yan Yungong, Zheng Wang Wan Yan Yun, Shao Wang Wan Yan Yunji, Lu Wang Wan Yan Yunde, Yu Wang Wan Yan Yuncheng, Kui Wang Wan Yan Yunsheng.

In addition, there are four daughters, for the princess of Yuguo, the princess of Lu, the princess of Tang, and the princess of Wu, of which only the princess of Tang and the princess of Wu are married, and the princess of Tang is married to Wulin Tianxi. The princess of Wu was married to Tang Kuogong.

Everyone still retains their titles and salaries. In terms of generation, they are all a generation later than Wan Yan Changzhi, so they all pay homage to the new emperor as a junior.
