Chapter 98 Chapter Nineteen

At that time, the Jurchen people lived on fishing and hunting, and the area where they lived was rich in some things, which were especially loved by the emperor of Liao.So, what are the local specialties of the Jurchens? There are two kinds of things, one is Dongzhu, which is the big pearl; the other is a bird named Haidongqing, which is only produced in the Jurchen area in the Liao Kingdom, and it is a hawk-like bird of prey.Because the Khitan people love hunting, they use Haidongqing to catch birds and beasts, especially swans. The awl stabbed the swan to death.Therefore, Haidongqing is a very good tribute in Liao, and Jurchen must pay tribute to Liao.During the reign of Emperor Tianzuo, a professional hunter, the demand for Costin increased greatly.It turned out that his grandfather Daozong still had time to write poems and worship Buddha, but Emperor Tianzuo didn't care about it and went hunting all day long.Therefore, he repeatedly sent envoys to Jurchen to ask for Haidongqing.The envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom wore silver medals on their waists and were called silver medal angels.After these people arrived at Jurchen, they extorted violently, raped and plundered, and committed all kinds of evil.

At that time, Liao and Jurchen were also discussing the border, and the two sides traded.This forum is located in Ningjiang Prefecture, which is Fuyu, Jilin today.The silver medal angels went to Jurchen places to buy cheap and sell expensive, and even bought and sold by force, robbing and looting.Not only that, but wherever the silver medal angels go, they ask Jurchen to provide a woman to stay with them, which is the greatest insult to the Jurchen nation.In the beginning, the Jurchens sent the daughters of the lower households, who might be children of slaves or common people.But these children's appearance, speech and behavior are not in line with the meaning of the silver medal angel, so the silver medal angel asks girls from Jurchen aristocratic families, and even married women to stay with them.This caused the anger of the Jurchen nation to burn.According to historical records, the Jurchens were brave and good at fighting. They rode horses up and down cliffs like flying, and crossed rivers without boats.It is impossible for such a brave and valiant nation to be humiliated forever. The Jurchen tribe secretly accumulated strength, ready to deal a fatal blow to Liao.

One year, Emperor Tianzuo went on a hunting trip to the land of Jurchen and held a feast of head fish.When the ice and snow melted in spring, the emperor held a banquet with civil and military officials and local chiefs to taste the first net of fish caught after the river opened. This is called the first fish feast.At the banquet, Emperor Tianzuo naturally drank cup after cup, drinking to his heart's content, drinking very happily.When he was drunk, he asked the chiefs of the Jurchen tribes who came to worship to stand up and dance for him one by one. Generally speaking, the ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing, and the chiefs dare not stop dancing.When it was Wanyan Aguda's turn, he refused to dance for the emperor.The emperor was very angry, and the consequences were serious.This is much more serious than socializing and entertaining today, when customers persuade you to drink but you don't drink, or the leaders of your unit persuade you not to drink.If a client advises you to drink and you don’t drink, at most it’s a bad business; if the leader of the unit persuades you not to drink, at most you won’t be in the unit; If you drink too much, or drink too little, and you are still relatively awake, you can slap the table, and in an instant, your head will fall to the ground, and blood will splash on the spot.That day, Emperor Tianzuo probably drank just right, neither too high nor too low, and he was in a good mood. He saw a big black man standing there with a silly face. He couldn't dance. Maybe it was possible, so he waved his hand. Say, you go down.

Turning around, Emperor Tianzuo remembered this, so many chiefs can dance, but you can't, obviously you don't take me seriously.So Emperor Tianzuo told his brother-in-law, Privy Envoy Xiao Fengxian, "The Yan of the day before yesterday, A Guda, was a man of high spirits. He didn't look around often, so he can be punished with side affairs. Otherwise, it will cause future troubles." ") Emperor Tianzuo saw it very clearly, Wanyan Agu was extraordinary, and he had a kind of leadership demeanor, we have to find someone to kill him, do you think this is okay?Xiao Fengxian said: "The Mo people don't know etiquette and righteousness. If they kill them without any serious mistakes, they may hurt Xianghua's heart. If they have different ambitions, what can they do?" Understand etiquette and righteousness, don't be as knowledgeable as a barbarian, if you kill him, I'm afraid it will hurt the heart of the barbarian nation, and it will not be good for our heavenly people. Even if he has different ambitions, what can a small chief of a small tribe do?Emperor Tianzuo thought it was reasonable, so he let it go.Unexpectedly, in this first fish feast, what was caught was not fish, but the final fatal blow to the Khitan Empire.
