Chapter 54 In the fourth quarter, only Wanyan is killed

Wan Yanliang coerced and lured the ministers to recognize his throne.But he is still constantly worried that someone will rebel and seize power.Therefore, after Wan Yanliang ascended the throne, he continued to carry out massacres in the court.So, who did Wan Yanliang kill?What kind of impact will his mass killing have on Jin Guo? As soon as Wan Yanliang succeeded to the throne, he began to wield the butcher's knife at the clan and nobles. His two uncles, Zong Xian and Zong Min, had been killed.Then his confidant counselor Xiao Yu ordered another official named Xiao Yu to come forward and falsely accuse Taizong's son Zongben of treason, so Zongben was imprisoned and executed.Then more than 70 descendants of Emperor Taizong were all executed by Wan Yanliang, basically Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu begged to buy this one and killed it.After killing this branch, Wan Yanliang started to attack Taizu's descendants again.Not many years later, the descendants of Taizu were basically wiped out.Then, Wanyan Liang attacked the Wanyan nobles outside the Taizu Taizong system, such as Tang Kuobian and Wanyan Bingde, the left and right prime ministers who supported him to power, were all killed by him.

Back then, when Taizu Taizong raised troops to annihilate Liao Dynasty and destroy Song Dynasty, it was all relying on these clan nobles, these Wanyan father and son brothers were born and died on the battlefield.It is these people who are the biggest threat to the throne now.In Chinese history, it is a taboo to use relatives and nobles for things, because there is no psychological burden for relatives and nobles to rebel.Just like Wanyan Liang killed Jin Xizong, your surname is Wanyan and I am also surnamed Wanyan. Both are the grandsons of the Taizu, but they are your eldest grandson, and I am the eldest grandson of the concubine. We are both eldest grandsons.So he doesn't feel any psychological burden on this elder grandson killing that elder grandson.The ministers of the two surnames knelt on the ground. Anyway, Wanyan was sitting on the throne. As for which Wanyan it is, I don't care, as long as it can keep my Juelu, whichever Wanyan is fine.But if the throne is replaced by a person whose surname is not Wanyan, then everyone will quit.Therefore, it is a taboo to use relatives and nobles, and the clan must not allow power, especially military power.

As soon as Wan Yanliang took the stage, he learned this lesson, and Wanyan killing Wanyan can no longer happen in the future. What should we do?I will kill all the Wanyans first, lest other Wanyans kill me.So as soon as he came to power, the descendants of Taizu Taizong were slaughtered.After such a massacre, a great change occurred in the Jurchen regime. The Han people, Bohai people, and Khitan people began to enter the central organization of the Jin Dynasty in large numbers.Except for Shangshuling Wanyan Gun who is his younger brother - of course he has to use his own younger brother as Shangshuling, prime minister, Pingzhang, Shen Zhizhengshi, and privy envoy, there is no such high-ranking official with the surname Wanyan.Starting from Wan Yanliang, the Jin Dynasty changed the things that the royal family had exercised power since the beginning of the country.Families other than the royal family, even people from other ethnic groups, were in charge of the government.

That's why some people say that Wan Yanliang should not be completely dismissed. He was still very accomplished when he was in power, and he reformed politics, reformed the bureaucracy, and promoted national unity, allowing so many outsiders to enter the Jin Dynasty to serve as officials.But this is not Wan Yanliang's original intention. Wan Yanliang is definitely not killing these Wanyans to make room for people of other ethnic groups.He brought people from other ethnic groups in because he had killed all the Wanyans and no one was available.And he is very clear, let alone these people are not Wanyan, they are not even Jurchen, Bohai people, Khitan people, Han people are all conquered peoples, now I let you enter the court, the official residence is Zaifu, you have no foundation, Definitely be grateful to me Dade.Therefore, the ministers other than the Jurchen clan were more important in Wanyan Liang's reign, and everyone was complacent. Compared with the one who was killed before, the current emperor is really a Daoming Lord. He only killed Wanyan, and it has nothing to do with us.
