Chapter 48 Section Three

As soon as Wanyan Zonghan died, Jin Xizong immediately pointed the finger at Wanyan Zongpan.Zong Pan coveted the throne for a long time, and he and his cousin Wan Yanchang colluded to form a party to control the government.In order to get rid of these two people, Jin Xizong accused them of treason.So, what exactly did Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyanchang do?Where should this crime of treason begin? At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty fought against the Jin Dynasty for many years. Although the Song Dynasty suffered losses at the beginning, due to the bloody battles of the four generals of ZTE, especially Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie, they continued to win victories on the battlefield, and the Jin Dynasty was also really tired. up.Originally, the Kingdom of Jin had repeatedly implemented puppet politics in the Central Plains, first establishing Zhang Bangchang, then Liu Yu, and ruling the Han with Han, but Zhang Bangchang returned to the Song Dynasty after being the puppet Emperor of Chu for 33 days.Liu Yu devoted allegiance to the Kingdom of Jin and served as a puppet for eight years. However, this guy did not accomplish enough and failed. He did nothing to help the Kingdom of Jin.Jin Guo wanted him to fight with Song and act as a buffer between Jin and Song. Every time Liu Yu went out with an army of more than 100,000, and only a few people came back, he was often defeated by the Song army.As soon as he lost, he asked Jin Guo for help, boss, I was beaten, you have to help me.The boss had no choice but to send troops to help him.In two days, boss, I was beaten again, and you still have to help me.Jin Guo felt that establishing him was not worth the gain. In addition, Liu Yu’s faction was established as emperor by bribing Zong Han. The Kingdom of Jin was abolished.

After the abolition of Liu Yu, what will happen to the areas ruled by the puppet Qi regime, such as Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi today?This issue aroused fierce debate in the court of the Kingdom of Jin, and two schools of opinion were formed: one group, headed by Zonggan and Zongbi, advocated that these places should be directly included in the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, and the Xingtai Shangshu Province should be established; the other group was led by Zongpan , Wan Yanchang, advocated returning these places to the Southern Song Dynasty, thinking that "the Song Dynasty must be good to me", and the Song Dynasty would definitely be grateful to us Dajin.In fact, Wan Yanchang hoped to use this incident to cultivate his own personal power, because he had already controlled Shandong at that time.Because Wan Yanchang forced the court of Jin to return the land to Song, the first peace agreement between Song and Jin was reached.At that time, Song Gaozong's reign was Shaoxing, and Jin Xizong's reign was Tianjuan, so the Kingdom of Jin was called the Tianjuan Peace Conference, and the Song Dynasty called it the first Shaoxing Peace Conference, the central content of which was to return Henan and Shandong to the Southern Song Dynasty.Wan Yanchang believes that Song Bide and I, according to our current language, call for self-respect and use foreign power to strengthen our own power in our country.The Zonggan and Zongbi factions were very dissatisfied, and felt that what Wanyanchang did was a traitorous act.The land that the soldiers fought with swords and guns was returned to the Song Dynasty so easily. We captured the father and elder brother of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, destroyed his country, and transported away all his gold, silver, treasures, cultural relics and classics. , After fighting with him for so many years, chasing him into the sea, do you think if you return his land, can he finish with you?If you return his land, he will "de" you?In the future, the Song Dynasty will have to fight us sooner or later. Giving him land now is an act of capitalizing on the enemy, which is traitorous.Unexpectedly, the Song Dynasty didn't buy it either. After getting the land, they didn't "de" Wan Yanchang, but strengthened their war preparations and prepared to go to war against Jin.In this way, Zong Gan and Zong Bi got the handle, saying that Yan Chang was 100% traitorous, and this peace agreement did not count.The court of the Kingdom of Jin tore up the peace agreement, turned against the interim, and first killed Taizong's eldest son, Zong Panzhu.

After killing Zong Pan, Emperor Xizong was still a bit wary of Wan Yanchang. After all, Wan Yanchang was a member of my grandfather's generation, and the only surviving elder in the royal family. I can do it. I can't bear it.Let's do it this way, Grandpa, you have some fun, hand over the power of the court, and relegate to a local province to be the prime minister.Wan Yanchang has come to this point, he should have been wiser, you are no longer a monopoly, you should be a man with your tail between your legs, and you are still a man with your tail between your legs, it is better than death.But Wan Yanchang was proud and arrogant, saying that I am the founding father of the country, a member of the royal family, and I am the grandfather of the emperor in terms of seniority, so he actually sent me to the province to join the slaves (because the other prime minister of the province was a surrender from the Southern Song Dynasty) , I will never do this.If you don't do it, then simply resign. Anyway, you have enough money and reputation in this life. It is good to keep the evening festival. The emperor will not do anything to you, but Wan Yanchang actually wants to run away to the Southern Song Dynasty.As a result, some said that he failed to make the trip and was caught. Others said that he sent a letter to the Southern Song Dynasty. You are holding a traitor, let our two countries be friendly.Such a big cadre is still rebellious?Wan Yanchang was also bestowed dead by the court.

The death of Wan Yanchang marked the complete withering of forces other than the Aguda family.
