"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: the king of Yan'an County, the general of Longhuwei, the deputy envoy of the privy council, the Nanjing Left-behind Division, the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, and the head of the Nanjing Road soldiers and horses, Wanyan Changzhi, loyal to Xu Guo, Shen Yi champion. King Qin has merit, a lot of hard work, especially crowned Wan Yan Changzhi as the king of Pu, ** Wan Yan Ruixian, for the princess of Pu, gave 5,000 households in the food city, and sealed 500 households. The Lord does it. Chin. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi shouted: "Ministers thank you for your grace, long live, long live." He bowed three times to the north, and then received the decree.

The country name of the Jin State is divided into three ranks, and King Pu is the third rank of the king, but it is one level higher than the title of the county king before Wan Yan Changzhi. And Wanyan Ruixian also won the title of princess. Generally speaking, after the collapse of the first emperor and the new monarch succeeds to the throne, he will reward the meritorious old ministers of the first emperor with a promotion, so it is also a normal thing to complete Yan Changzhi's promotion.

Since Wanyan Fushou wrote a letter to Wanyan Changzhi, the ruling ministers unanimously approved to ask Pufeng to come to Wanyan Yong's pulse to see a doctor, and asked Wanyan Changzhi to come forward to ask Pufeng about the matter, although Wanyan Fushou did not say anything else in the letter. But Wan Yan Changzhi understands that if his inference is correct and someone poisoned the emperor, then this letter will undoubtedly become the emperor's ** life talisman. But he also understood that his father-in-law was also forced to write this letter. Therefore, Wanyan Changzhi had no choice but to reply to the court and express his willingness to go.

Sure enough, before waiting for ten days, the news came from Zhongdu that the emperor Wanyan Yong was seriously ill and died, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne with the scriptures. At the same time, Wanyan Fushou also ordered someone to send a secret letter, telling Wanyan Changzhi in detail, and he thought that the investigation was very clear: for a period of time before Wanyan Yongjia collapsed, the crown prince Wanyan Yungong should have stayed in the East Palace, but he had been staying in the palace, and the emperor was critically ill, and he was originally going to meet the ruling minister first, but Dai Fuan, the chamberlain who was sent out of the palace to pass the edict, was stopped by the prince, and waited until the ruling minister received the edict, and then entered the emperor's bedroom, the first emperor returned to heaven with the scriptures, and at that time, The crown prince Yijing was next to the bedside of the first emperor.

And after the fact, Wanyan Fushou also appeared, in the first few hours before the collapse of the emperor, there was also a large-scale transfer of troops and horses in the capital, the right deputy inspected the three thousand guards of the Sushi Lie Hu Shahu to take the lead in garrisoning the palace and guarding the gates of the palace, and at the same time the Daxing Mansion was the same as the governor of the guard, and the marshal of the right supervisor of the army Shuqi Gaohu mobilized 5,000 men and horses to guard the streets of the capital, as if facing the enemy. Although nothing happened in the end, these signs show that before the collapse of the first emperor, the crown prince was fully prepared to deal with all kinds of accidents.

After Wan Yan Changzhi received the secret letter from his father-in-law, he immediately discussed with his son, and the husband almost agreed that it was certain that the first emperor was killed by Wan Yan Yungong, so he would make this kind of move before the first emperor collapsed. At the same time, you must guard against Yan Yungong who will attack you, and you must not be caught with your hands tied, you must prepare early.

So Wanyan Changzhi immediately wrote a letter to Wanyan Chen ****, who was stationed in Shandong, asking him to come to Nanjing secretly. And this time the stakes are very high, not only can he and Wanyan Chen **** discuss, but also must tell a few other henchmen, listen to their opinions, and get their support.

Therefore, after Yan Chen **** arrived in Nanjing, the three of them discussed it briefly and decided to recruit Zhang Hu and Guo Shrimp Toad, as well as Pu Atong, Shi Mo Yanshan, Pucha Dingzhu, and Shi Dingyue, the four **** who were born in Huishou Temple, and told them about it.

After everyone arrived, Wanyan Ruixian first temporarily returned to the seclusion, and Wanyan Changzhi first told everyone all the doubts about the collapse of the first emperor, and then told them all the things that happened to him and his ** son and Wanyan Yungong. After that, Wan Yan Changzhi said: "I expect that the current emperor will never let me go, sooner or later he will attack me, and I will not be willing to be captured, I will definitely do my best in Nanjing and Shandong, and I don't know where you should go." ”

After listening to Yan Changzhi's words, Guo Shrimp Toad immediately got up and said generally: "At the end of that year, this life was saved by the left-behind adults, and it was used by the adults to make it so that it has its current status." The last general will be grateful for the kindness of the adults, and in this life and this life, only the adults and horses will look forward, as long as the adults say a word, I want Guo Shrimp and Toad to go to the soup and fire, and I will not hesitate to break my bones. ”

After he finished speaking, Shi Mo Yanshan also got up immediately and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to say more, as long as the new emperor dares to attack your lord, we will pull the flag and rebel, see what he can do with us?" ”

Shi Mo Yanshan is the eldest of the four **** in Huining Temple, and he is also the person with the highest official position at present. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other three immediately said: "Yes, that is, just rebel and see what he can do?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, he had the grace of Guo Shrimp Toad's life, and Shi Mo Yanshan and the four of them also had a relationship with Zisi for more than ten years, so the reactions of these people were all expected by Wan Yan Changzhi, and the focus of this gathering was actually Zhang Hu's attitude. Wanyan Changzhi and Wanyan Chen **** are themselves famous generals in the world, and there is no shortage of generals around them, but they are lacking in Xiang Zhanghu, who is proficient in administrative organization and management affairs, it can be said that Zhang Hu is the only indispensable person in the current team of Wanyan Changzhi, and only with his support can he succeed.

However, although he also has the grace of knowing Zhang Hu, and has always trusted Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu is fundamentally different from Guo Shrimp Toad, even if there is no promotion of his own, Zhang Hu is still a rich businessman in Dading Mansion, with his talent and ability, it is not difficult to find an official and a half-position in the future. And if he supports himself, it is actually a rebellion, and if he fails, it will be a big crime of raiding his family and destroying his family. Therefore, in this case, whether Zhang Hu will still support him, even Wan Yan Changzhi himself is not sure.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhang Hu was still calm, coughed lightly, and then said to Yan Chang: "I want to ask the adults two questions first." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "Sir, excuse me." ”

Zhang Hu smiled slightly and said, "If the lord really turns against the emperor, then does the lord want to divide one side from now on in order to protect himself, or do he plan to fight back, break through the central capital, and seize the throne?" ”

After hearing this, Changzhi looked directly at Zhang Hu with his eyes, and said after a long time: "If it really comes to that point, I'm afraid that Changzhi wants to divide one side and settle down, but I'm afraid that the emperor won't allow it, so only by fighting back can there be a way out." There is no other way. ”

Zhang Hu nodded, and said: "Then ask the second question below, if the emperor can ignore the past suspicions and not be ready to turn against the adults, but continue to reuse the adults, what are the plans for the adults?" ”

Wan Yan Changzhi's body couldn't help but be shocked, and he couldn't answer for a long time. Zhang Hu got up suddenly, as if he was facing Yan Changzhi, and as if he was saying to the ****: "The world is not the world of one person, the capable live in it, and the incompetent lose it." The adult is the son of King Shen, and he is the grandson of Emperor Taizu, and the emperor of Dajin is also qualified to sit on it. Thinking that Wanyan Yungong is just a mediocre person, but he is the son of the first emperor, so he has to be on the top, in terms of knowledge and talent, how can he be as good as an adult. Therefore, as long as the adults are determined to get up, they are willing to help each other as much as possible, and they swear to die with each other. ”

Everyone else present was also stunned by Zhang Hu's words. What Yan Changzhi said just now can also be regarded as a means of self-protection when he is forced to do so. And what Zhang Hu said is tantamount to wanting Yan Changzhi to take the initiative to rebel and seize the throne. The difference between the two is too great, and they can't turn this bend for a while.

After a long while, Wanyan Chen **** said: "As Mr. said, isn't it going to be a thief who plots rebellion?" ”

Zhang Hu shook his head and said, "Liangzuo's words are bad, what is a thief who plots rebellion?" It's just that the winner is the king and the loser is endowed, since ancient times, the throne that is not usurped, not to mention, it is the throne of the first emperor, isn't it also usurped from Wanyan Liang, but isn't the first emperor regarded as a virtuous and holy monarch? If the first emperor can usurp the throne, why can't the adults? ”

Wanyan Chen **** said: "The first emperor took the throne because Wanyan Liang's throne was usurped, and after Wanyan Liang became the king, he acted perversely, causing people's hearts to lose, and the first emperor seized the throne in accordance with the heavens." ”

Zhang Hu asked rhetorically: "May I ask Liangzuo, if Wan Yanliang also implemented moral politics during his reign, governed the country with benevolence, and made the Dajin Kingdom peaceful and peaceful, then the first emperor was usurping the throne, should he be?" ”

"This ......" Wanyan Chen **** couldn't answer at once. Because if you say no, it means that as long as you implement moral governance and govern the country with benevolence, then the usurpation can also be rationalized, so as long as Yan Changzhi's usurpation is successful, it can govern the country well, and it doesn't matter. On the contrary, it shows that Wan Yan Yong's throne itself is not right, and Wan Yan Changzhi can be replaced by a legitimate one.

It turned out that after learning that Wanyan Yungong succeeded to the throne, Zhang Hu already had another consideration in his heart, he had also heard of Wanyan Yungong, and knew that he was just a mediocre person, compared with Wanyan Changzhi, he was greatly inferior in either aspect, and with Wanyan Changzhi's bloodline, he was fully qualified to inherit the throne. It's just that these things are just thinking about it in Zhang Hu's mind, and he doesn't dare to say it easily.

In fact, the ** Zhen people have only been in the Central Plains for more than 50 years, although they are deeply sinicized, but they still retain the characteristics of many nomads, compared to the set of monarchs and ministers proposed by physicists, most Jurchens believe in the law of convincing people and the winner as the king. Zhang Hu was originally from Bohai, although he was familiar with the poetry and books of the Han nationality, and he also knew how to do it. br/>

After listening to what Yan Changzhi said today, Zhang Hu couldn't help but be moved, he couldn't imagine that his cranky thoughts could really become a reality, and at the same time, Wan Yan Changzhi was able to tell himself such a secret thing, which also showed that he had absolute trust in himself, which made Zhang Hu very grateful. Therefore, in an instant, several thoughts turned in his mind, emotionally speaking, he also supported Wan Yan Changzhi, although doing so took a great risk, but from the perspective of a businessman, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

Moreover, Wanyan Changzhi has Wanyan Chen **** to help, and he is a local general with heavy troops, and he is also proficient in the art of war, and he also has a group of elite generals under him. And the ability of several generals in the former imperial court, I am afraid that no one can be their opponent, so once they do something, they still have a great chance of success. And once he succeeds, he will become a supporting minister, and at that time, it is just around the corner to enter the court to worship the prime minister and wait for the title of prince. And his desire not to rely on the power of the Zhang family, but to get ahead by relying only on personal efforts will also be realized.

When Wan Yan Changzhi and everyone were waiting for him to make a statement, Zhang Hu suddenly had the idea of gambling if he wanted to gamble, so he said that no matter whether the emperor would deal with Wan Yan Changzhi or not, let Wan Yan Changzhi directly rebel and seize the throne.

In the end, Zhang Hu said: "Now there are tens of thousands of male soldiers under the command of adults, and more than 100 generals who can recruit accustomed to war. Wanyan Yungong, this ** tooth child, is not an opponent, the male soldiers are everywhere, they will be invincible, they will conquer everything, they will enter the central capital, take away the throne, and achieve great achievements. (18) Song ”

After listening to him, everyone was silent, and after a long time, Guo Shrimp Toad said: "I follow the adult, and I never ask for anything to wait for the general, or that sentence, as long as the adult gives an order, I will play Guo Shrimp Toad to go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up." ”

Shi Mo Yanshan also said: "We are the same, we all listen to the orders of the adults." “

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Wan Yan Changzhi. At this time, Wan Yan Changzhi's heart was also fluctuating, and it was difficult to calm down. In fact, on weekdays, he didn't think that he was the grandson of Emperor Taiyuan, and he was also qualified to inherit the throne, but this was just thinking about it, and he didn't even tell ** Zi and Wanyan Chen.

But now it seems that this idea can become true, and Wan Yan Changzhi is also confident, once he really becomes the emperor, the achievements he has established will not be lost to Wan Yan Yong, but ......

After a long time, Wan Yan Changzhi said: "This matter is very important, please allow me to think twice, today's matter, you must not leak it to others." ”
