Chapter 84 Section Two

In order to train this little emperor's grandson into a qualified heir to the throne, Jin Shizong also created some opportunities for him to practice.So, what would Kim Sejong ask him to do? Wanyan Mada, Queen Ge Fengyuan, was sentenced to Daxing Mansion and became the mayor of the capital.The emperor taught me painstakingly, saying that I know you are still very young, but you have to learn how to handle government affairs. The implication is that the chair under my buttocks will be yours in the future.I will give you a Beijing official first, and experience it.Being an official in the capital is actually the most difficult job. You have to balance all aspects of your relationship. Do you know who is hooking up with whom?But I'm here, I'm covering you, don't be afraid, feel free to practice.The emperor often sent people to investigate the achievements of the original king, and found that the common people were well-known, and there is also a possibility that those who spoke ill of him were eliminated. It is very good to have such an official voice at such a young age.

Emperor Sejong heard that the emperor's grandson used Chinese to handle the court affairs of the Han people, and Jurchen language to handle the court affairs of the Jurchens. It seems that bilingual teaching has achieved remarkable results. The emperor is even more happy that he can use bilingual administration.The original king had been an official in Daxing Mansion for a few years, and the emperor said, I put the original king by my side so that he can experience the government and learn the way of governing. He really did not disappoint me, this child is very good.When the original king was 18 years old, he was given the name Jing. He had a scientific name, and he was no longer called Ma Dage. Then he became an official worshiping Prime Minister Shangshu You, because Sejong hardly set up orders for Shangshu, and Prime Minister Shangshu You actually became a hundred officials. long.

Every time Emperor Sejong saw his grandson, he would tell him earnestly, although you are very young, but because you are the grandson of Empress Zhaode, and you are very capable of governing, I want to train you more and investigate more you.You have to be loyal to me, be filial, and love the people, so that you can live up to the training I have given you, and you can do whatever you want, no problem. Although Emperor Sejong had experienced the former king so much, he was also very entangled in his heart: If I directly let the former king inherit the Datong, what should his uncles do if they refuse to accept it?So once the emperor summoned the ministers in charge and asked them what they thought about the matter.At that time, the ministers said that if the crown prince could not make a decision, the government would not be peaceful.The result of not establishing a crown prince is that each of your sons feels that they have a role to play, and everyone feels good about themselves, and they all feel that they are made to be emperors.In this case, it is inevitable to form gangs, and there will be party disputes in the court.If the crown prince is appointed early, the coveting heart of others can be cut off, and the government can be stabilized.When the emperor heard that Aiqing was right, he decreed to worship the original king as the grandson of the emperor, officially confirming his status as the crown prince.

In the twenty-ninth year of Dading (1189), when Emperor Sejong was seriously ill, he ordered the emperor's grandson to supervise the country as regent. Sejong felt that he had cultivated a good successor, who was proficient in Han Chinese laws and cultural relics, and was familiar with Jurchen's old customs. He will take this country on the road I hoped, so he closed his eyes peacefully and walked away with confidence. Emperor Sejong can be called the lord of a generation. In "The Second Chronicle of Jin Shizong", he commented on him as follows: "Since the Taizu, he has used troops in the country, and Ning is only a few years old. The emphasis is on Hailing's injustice, taxation and service, and thieves. All over the country, soldiers and armies rise together, thousands of surnames are panning, and the country is in turmoil. The old have no one to support, and the young have no love to take care of. They are in danger and distress. Know the gains and losses of officials. He has been in office for five years, and the north and the south have made peace, and rested with the people. So he is thrifty, respects filial piety, believes in rewards and punishments, pays attention to farming and mulberry, carefully observes the selection of orders, and strictly observes the responsibility of inspection. Day and night, it can be said to be the way to be a king! At this time, the officials keep their duties, the upper and lower are in peace, the family is sufficient, the granaries are more than enough, and the Ministry of Punishment sentenced to death at the age of seventeen or twenty, known as "Little Yao and Shun" ’, this is also the effect.” When Emperor Sejong was in power, only 17 to 20 people were sentenced to death a year, the family was full, there were more than granaries, the roads did not pick up things, and the doors were not closed at night, and the society was peaceful.

When Emperor Sejong passed away, he left a huge fortune to his successor, Zhangzong Wanyanjing, the sixth emperor of the Jin Kingdom. There were nearly 40 million shi of rice and millet, and one shi was 100 or 150 catties. filling.There is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart. It is a peaceful and prosperous world!
