Chapter 65 Section 5 Wulin answers the queen

After the death of Hailing King Wan Yanliang, Jin Shizong Wan Yanyong's throne was stabilized.So who is this Jin Shizong?Why do some people say that he usurped the throne for personal revenge? Jin Shizong's Han name is Wanyan Yong, and Jurchen's name is Wanyan Wulu. He is also the grandson of Emperor Taizu and Wanyan Liang's cousin.Sejong Wanyanyong lost his father at the age of thirteen. His mother was Li Shi from Bohai, who was quite proficient in literature and history, and raised Sejong.Sejong has mastered classics and history since he was a child, and practiced shooting and hunting. According to historical records: "People in the country regard it as the first, and every time a hunt is made, the elders follow it." Every time he went out to hunt, the Jurchen seniors honored the old, and the ministers all surrounded him to watch.During the Emperor Xizong's reign, he was crowned King Ge as a clan and was awarded the Minister of War. He once followed Liang Wang Zongbi to the south and fought against Song General Liu Qi. Of course he failed.But he has really been on the battlefield, has used a knife and gun, and has seen battles.

During Xizong's time, ministers were killed indiscriminately. Being a minister in the Kingdom of Jin was really a high-risk occupation.In the Xizong and Hailing dynasties, everyone in the royal family was in danger, and one day the butcher's knife would fall on themselves.Wan Yanyong is very worried, what if the emperor is happy to kill me one day, what will he do?His wife, Wu Linda, is a virtuous housemate, smart and beautiful, so she told him that there is an ancestral jade belt in our family (actually it is not ancestral, it was used by the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and it was picked up by his father when the Song Dynasty was destroyed. ), dedicating this jade belt to the emperor can avoid disaster.Wan Yanyong held this jade belt and kept rubbing it, reluctant to part with it. It was passed down from my father, and it is a testimony of my father's national military exploits.Wulin Dashi advised him, don't be so narrow-minded, this thing is not what our family should use, this is the jade belt of the emperor of Song Dynasty, if you keep it, you will bring trouble to yourself, so you must give it away.Wanyanyong obeyed his wife and presented the jade belt to Emperor Xizong. From this, Xizong believed that Wanyanyong was loyal, so Wanyanyong was spared during Xizong's first dynasty.

When King Hailing killed Xizong and ascended the throne, he killed the clan Wanyan.Wan Yanyong bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows under his wife's persuasion.We are a brick of the revolution, we can move it wherever it is needed, and I will do whatever you ask me to do.His title was demoted again and again, from the prince to the county king, from the county king to the duke, and from the court official to be a magistrate, and the magistrate kept changing land, and he was allowed to stay in one land for no more than a year. .During the years of King Hailing's reign, Wan Yanyong has traveled almost all the big cities in the Kingdom of Jin, but he has not been allowed to go to remote counties.Wan Yanyong is always on the road, always moving.At that time, unlike today, it took two hours to travel from Kaifeng to Jinan by train. At that time, there were only horse-drawn carriages, and all the entourage had to walk.Wan Yanyong was transferred back and forth like this, exhausted.

Just like that, Wan Yanliang was still not at ease with him.Why is Wan Yanyong so obedient?How could he not know how to resist?If he wants to resist me, won't he have a chance to kill him?Anyone familiar with the inside story told Wan Yanliang that it was his wife Wulin Dashi who gave him the idea, and Wulindashi is a beauty, there is no such thing in our palace, and there shouldn't be any in our palace.When Wan Yanliang heard this, he immediately told Wan Yanyong to send your daughter-in-law to the palace.Wan Yanyong was reluctant, the relationship between the husband and wife was very good, and they cried in each other's arms.Wu Linda was very decisive, and told Wan Yanyong, if I don't go, our whole family will die, so I must go.Before Mrs. Wu Linda left, he called all the housekeepers and servants together, saying that I must go if the Son of Heaven called for him, otherwise I would bring trouble to our master.You have been in the mansion for so many years. You have served the late king since his time, and now you have followed the lord everywhere.Have you seen that many of the ministers punished by the lord came forward to report because the servants were greedy for money and neglected profit.After I'm gone, all of you should behave honestly and well-behaved. If anyone betrays the lord for petty gains, I will turn into a ghost and seek revenge from you in the future.Wan Yanyong's servant was moved to tears when he heard that, the mistress put her own life and death at risk for the safety of the whole family, if we who have been benefactors for generations do such a thing, we are not as good as animals, mistress, don't worry , Wherever the master goes, we will follow, we will live and die together.Wu Linda set out on the road with peace of mind, she knew that if she did not enter the palace, Wanyan Yong would not escape death, and if she entered the palace by herself, she would definitely be humiliated.So when they traveled to Liangxiang, seventy miles away from the capital city of Zhongdu, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, the Wulinda clan committed suicide by throwing themselves into the ring.

After Wan Yanyong became emperor, he ratified Ulinda as the empress. After several decades in power, he never set up an empress again, and he doted on Wulinda's son in every possible way, and made him the crown prince.
