Chapter 49 The fourth quarter Han Han struggle

With the successive deaths of Zong Han and Zong Pan, the two forces that threatened the imperial power the most have been eradicated.At this time, Jin Xizong was really in a stable position and was able to hold great power.So, after taking power, who will Jin Xizong ask to assist him in governing the country? Jin Xizong's uncle, Wanyan Zongbi, became the number one assistant minister of the Kingdom of Jin. He is well-known to us. The storytelling tells about the insidious and cunning Jin Wushu who was beaten to the ground by Yue Wumu, who was loyal to the country.Zong Bi was loyal to Xi Zong, and because of his meritorious service in breaking the peace agreement of the heavenly family, his official position was promoted to the point where it could not be further improved.He served as the grand master to lead the affairs of the three provinces, the marshal of the capital, and the king of Liang.Except that the title of emperor cannot be added to him, basically everything is given to him.Therefore, Zongbi spared no effort to support Xizong's reform and centralization of monarchy.Zongbi first helped Xizong eliminate Wanyan Xiyin's party.

Wanyan Xiyin may not belong to the royal family, and his family identity and family affiliation are uncertain, but he was the first to initiate the establishment of Xizong, and he created the Jurchen script, and he is credited with merit.Once when Wanyan Xiyin was drunk, he called Ban Zongbi, saying that the military power of the world is in my hands, and you and other idiots dare to argue with me?He obviously drank too much, talking nonsense, how can the military power of the world be in his hands?Zong Bi is the Marshal of the capital and holds military power.When Zong Bi heard this, he was about to kill you, okay, open your big mouth, and the gate of hell will open.Zong Bi immediately reported to Xi Zong, Xi Zong said that I had wanted to kill this old man for a long time, and immediately mobilized the imperial guards to rush into Xi Yin's house, and killed the whole family.At that time, the Jurchen raised troops and swallowed Liao and Song Dynasty in a very short period of time. At that time, they were brothers who fought against tigers, father and son soldiers. .Now, just a few decades after the founding of the country, the Wanyans have withered one after another, not because of their enemies, but because of the court.This kind of cruel political struggle, they learn and practice, is more thorough than the Central Plains Dynasty.

Zongbi had a large number of Han officials under his command. Many of these Han officials were descendants of the Song Dynasty, and many of the Han officials who originally established the rules and regulations for the Kingdom of Jin were descendants of the Liao Kingdom.Now, the struggle among the Jurchen nobles has temporarily come to an end, and the struggle between these Hanchens who serve the Kingdom of Jin has begun.The same Han people, the same descended from gold, the difference is that the Jin was descended from the Northern Song Dynasty or from the Liao Dynasty. The backer of the surrendered ministers in the Song Dynasty was Zong Bi, who had monopolized power at that time, and the people who surrendered from the Liao Kingdom, the original backer was Zong Han, but Zong Han had already fallen, and the trees fell and the monkeys scattered.Zong Han had three advisers: the first was Gao Qingyi, who was killed for corruption.The second is Han Qixian, the ninth grandson of Han Zhigu, a famous minister of the Liao Kingdom.Jin Shizong, the fifth emperor of the Jin Dynasty, once commented that Han Qixian should be the first prime minister of our dynasty and the one who contributed the most.The third one is Xiao Qing from Khitan.Although Han Qixian was sent up by Zong Hanbao, he did not make any mistakes and worked hard for the Kingdom of Jin, so Han Qixian could not move.But Han Qixian is not in good health and is seriously ill. He very much hopes that the person he recommends can take over his position in the future.Once the people he recommended came to visit him in the mansion, and the porter suddenly came to report that King Liang had arrived.Knowing that King Liang didn't want to see him very much, these people hid behind the screen.After Zong Bi came in and asked about Han Qixian's condition, he saw that Han Qixian had only breathed in, and he was almost out of breath, so he said, Prime Minister, you may not last long in this state, so I will not be polite to you. After a hundred years of prime minister, Who can take over the aspect?Han Qi first mentioned a confidant of his, hoping that he can take over the phase.Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongbi cursed bitterly: This generation should be punished.These words scared the ministers behind the screen into a cold sweat.Han Qixian was also terrified. He was seriously ill and died after being frightened. He didn't see the tragic end of his group.As soon as Han Qixian died, Zong Bi immediately ordered the purge of Han Qixian's subordinates. The ministers of the Liao Kingdom who had surrendered gold were basically killed, including the right prime minister Xiao Qing, who was Zong Han's third largest advisor.Those who are not killed will be exiled to the island, and will never be allowed to return to land and become an official in the court.In this way, the surrender of the Song Dynasty completely replaced the original position of the surrender of the Liao Kingdom.Accompanied by continuous bloody winds, the Xizong Dynasty gradually matured and became Sinicized step by step. The founding fathers of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyanchang, and Wanyan Xiyin were slaughtered to death.

Jin Guo Sinicization reform was not smooth sailing, but with a strong smell of blood. Emperor Xizong may be used to seeing murder, and over time, his psychology became a little distorted.He felt that killing people was a very happy thing. The attendants around him were often whipped for trivial matters, and even the emperor himself cut off ears, gouged out eyes, and slashed randomly with knives.So some people think that he has lost his mind and gone crazy, but no one dares to point it out.The emperor's mind is completely out of order at this time, where there is no shadow of the young emperor who worked hard at the beginning of his succession, he is completely different, it is impossible to imagine that these things are done by the same person.
