Chapter 118 The third quarter hero turned the tide

The Mongolian army is as powerful as a broken bamboo, galloping vertically and horizontally, invincible, and their fighting power is beyond imagination. How could they suffer a disastrous defeat?Who will give the Mongolian army a heavy punch? In the Kingdom of Jin, there appeared a famous hero who turned the tide. His name was Monk Wanyan Chen, his Chinese name was Wanyan Yi, and his style name was Liangzuo.Monk Wanyan Chen's father was an officer of the Kingdom of Jin and was born in the royal family. During the reign of Zhang Zongtaihe, he was killed in the war against the Song Dynasty.Monk Chen is the orphan of a martyr from the Kingdom of Jin.

Monk Chen lives in Fengzhou, which is near Hohhot, Inner Mongolia today.When he was in his twenties, Monk Chen was captured by the Mongolian army. He happened to be a servant under the tent of Antong, the famous prime minister in the early Yuan Dynasty.His mother still lives in Toyosu and is supported by his brother Xie Lie.Monk Chen always wanted to find a chance to escape.After he gained the trust of the Mongols, he once asked An Tong for leave to go home to visit his mother.An Tong allowed him to go back, but he was not 100% assured of him.You go home to visit your mother, what if you run away?An Tong sent a soldier to watch Monk Chen.As soon as the two got on the road, Monk Chen killed the Mongolian soldiers who were watching him.Not only did he kill the Mongolian soldiers, but he also got more than a dozen horses, ran back to his hometown in Fengzhou, called his brother Xie Lie, and took his old mother southward, from the occupied area to the liberated area, and went straight to the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.

When Monk Chen went south, he was discovered by the Mongols, who sent cavalry to chase him, but they had no choice but to take the small road instead of the main road.The trail is rugged and difficult, and sometimes you have to climb mountains and ridges, so you can't ride a horse.My mother is old and has difficulty walking. If you want to carry her on your back along the way, no one will be able to escape.Monk Chen pushed his mother in a wheelbarrow, crossing mountains and ridges, avoiding pursuers, and crossing the Yellow River back to the occupied area of ​​the Kingdom of Jin on his two legs.At that time, Emperor Xuanzong was very happy to see the two brothers returning to their homeland with their mother traveling thousands of miles away.Xie Lie originally had a Speyer, and hereditary Meng'an Muke, so he was granted the capital and Monk Chen was the guardian.Later, the emperor knew that he was very talented, so he made him an officer of the Imperial Guard.

Soon after Xie Lie became the capital, Emperor Xuanzong set up the Marshal's Mansion in today's Jiangsu area, and asked Xie Lie to be the Marshal's mansion, and Monk Chen also went to garrison it.Xie Lie is a virtuous corporal and has a very good relationship with Confucian scholars. There is a great Confucian who often teaches Xie Lie's younger brother, Monk Chen, how to learn calligraphy.Although Monk Chen is a military general, he has received a good education in Confucianism and encourages himself with loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.His favorite books are "Book of Filial Piety" and "Chunqiu Zuoshi Biography", full of thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.According to historical records, Monk Chen "has nothing to do in the army, but he writes small characters under the window, like a man in cold and suffering, and he sees the world indifferently" ("Jin Shi Wanyan Monk Chen Biography").When he was free, he practiced calligraphy. Looking at him like that, he looked like a poor scholar. He didn't take the pleasures of the world seriously, and he quickly grew into a general with both civil and military skills.

Later, Xie Lie became seriously ill, and the emperor asked Monk Chen to take the position of his elder brother.One of his generals was very domineering, and he was at odds with other generals, and there were frequent fights, which even developed to the point of using force.Monk Chen asked the reason, made a fair decision, and punished the domineering general.Because this general was too domineering, no one would dare to criticize him. Unexpectedly, he was beaten up by Monk Chen.When he was dying, he left his last words to his wife, I was mad at Monk Chen, you have to avenge me.So as soon as he died, his wife went to Bianjing to sue the imperial court, saying that Monk Chen had killed her husband.Regardless of whether there is such a thing, even if it is a false accusation, the court will investigate.The investigation took time, but the country was in a critical situation at that time, and it was impossible to investigate so carefully.The Taiwanese admonishers took it for granted that Monk Chen was from the imperial guards, and he regarded himself as a close minister of the emperor. His brother was the marshal. If he succeeded the marshal, this army would become their family.Therefore, Monk Chen must be domineering. He must have vented his personal anger and revenge and killed his generals.The current national crisis, self-destruction of the Great Wall, Monk Chen is too bad, the law should be executed.As a result, the judiciary convicted him, and Monk Chen was unjustly imprisoned.

But to say that Monk Chen was domineering and killed innocent people indiscriminately, there must be evidence. He is the marshal of the marshal's mansion, and killing a marshal is not a joke.Because of insufficient evidence, the case was delayed for eighteen months.Monk Chen has been in prison for eighteen months.If you want to let ordinary people go crazy, you have to grab the railing every day and shout, I am wronged, let me out!Monk Chen has been in prison for the past 18 months, with a very regular schedule: eating and sleeping, taking a walk when it’s time to relax, boxing in the prison for nothing, keeping fit, and reading every day. Time to learn.Eighteen months later, Xuanzong had passed away, and Aizong succeeded to the throne. The court conducted an investigation and said that the evidence for this matter was insufficient.Officials in ancient China even committed crimes, and they were generally punished by negotiating relatives, nobles, meritorious service, and reductions.Monk Chen's elder brother has made meritorious service to the country, not to mention that there is insufficient evidence of his guilt, even if he is really guilty, the court will release Monk Chen and let him be the commander of the Zhongxiao Army.
