Chapter 310 Chapter 309 Xuanzong Wanyan Xun

Jin Xuanzong, surnamed Wanyan, surnamed Xun, real name Udab, was given the name Congjia.It's Sejong's grandson, brother Zhangzong.Father Yungong, mother Zhaohua Liu.Jin Dading was born in the third year and died of illness in the second year of Yuanguang.Reigned from 1213 to 1223 AD. When Wanyan Xun was born, his mother Zhaohua Liu died.Sejong raised him in the palace.The grandparents loved this grandson who lost his mother's love since childhood, and little Udab received a good education in the palace.He likes learning very much, is good at talking about the past and the present, can write good poems and essays, and treats people with generosity and charity.When Udab was 15 years old, he was named Wen Guogong. At the age of 23, Sejong gave him the name Xun again. At the age of 26, he was enfeoffed as King Feng, and later he was enfeoffed as King Yi, King Xing, King Sheng, etc. He won the hearts of the people wherever he went.

In August of the first year of Ning (1213 A.D.), Hu Shahu launched a palace coup and robbed and killed Emperor Yongji.He wanted to usurp the throne, but he didn't dare to risk the disgrace of the world.They had no choice but to send Tu Danming and others to Zhangde Mansion to welcome Udab into Zhongdu.In September, Udab, the emperor, was located in the Da'an Hall, and his reign name was changed to "Zhenyou". Xuanzong made great contributions to Hu Shahu's aid, and worshiped him as Taishi, Shangshuling and Marshal of the capital, and named him King Ze.Soon, Hu Shahu was given the mansion of the son-in-law Xiongming, and later, Zhongdulu and Lu Hushi were granted the hereditary Meng'an, becoming the most prominent figure in the court.The Near Servant Bureau reminded Qing Shannu, deputy envoy Weibi and others to secretly request to get rid of Hu Shahu, but Xuanzong refused.

In October, Mongolian soldiers invaded.Hu Gaoqi, the marshal's right supervisor, fought in the north of the city and was defeated.Gao Qi was afraid that Hu Shahu would kill him, so he led his troops back to surround Hu's house and killed Hu Shahu.Gao Qi held Hu Shahu's head to plead guilty to Xuanzong, who was pardoned for his innocence, and was still appointed Deputy Marshal Zuo.After Hu Shahu was removed, the political turmoil subsided temporarily.However, on the issue of Mongolia, the main battle between the DPRK and China, and the dispute between the two factions became sharp again.

Genghis Khan sent envoys to the Jin Dynasty many times to surrender.Xuanzong himself advocated peace negotiations.Xuanzong sent Chenghui to the Mongolian army to seek peace.Genghis Khan didn't want to destroy the Jin Dynasty immediately. His purpose was only to rob slaves, livestock and property. Seeing that the Jin Dynasty sent envoys to seek peace, he put forward many harsh conditions.Xuanzong just wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so he agreed to his request one by one.Xuanzong dedicated Princess Qiguo, the daughter of King Yongji of Wei Shao, to Genghis Khan, who was later called the "Princess Queen".He also donated 500 boys and girls to Genghis Khan, 3,000 embroidered clothes, 3,000 royal horses, and a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. Mongolia retreated and returned to the north.The peace talks between the two parties were successful.

After the Mongols withdrew, there was a fierce debate within the court on whether the Jin Dynasty should seize the opportunity to continue organizing resistance, or abandon the central capital and flee. Marshal Zuo Dujian Wan Yanbi advocated abandoning the central capital and moving the capital to Nanjing (Bianjing, now Kaifeng, Henan).He said: "Bianjing has the Huai River in the south and the Yellow River in the north. They are two natural barriers in the north and the south, and the danger of Tongguan in the west can be defended." Sleepy." Geng Duanyi, a political adviser, also strongly advocated moving the capital to Nanjing.For a while, the voices of abandoning Beijing and fleeing were quite loud.Xuanzong also intends to move south.The supervisory censor Nata Moujia opposed the move of the capital.When Xuanzong was hesitating, Bu Xueduan, the left-bearer in Nanjing, Changshou, the commander of the army, and Wang Zhi, the inspector, made three consecutive petitions and asked to move the capital to Nanjing.Xuanzong then decided to move south.

On May 11th of the second year of Zhenyou (1214 A.D.), Xuanzong ordered to move south.He appointed Shangshu Youcheng Prime Minister Wan Yan Chenghui, Zuo Deputy Marshal Mo Ran Jinzhong and others stayed in Zhongdu with Prince Shouzhong.On May 17, 3,000 camels were loaded with jewels from the palace, and 30,000 cars were used to carry documents first.On the 18th, Xuanzong's car drove to Zhongdu.Arrived in Nanjing in July. Xuanzong's cowardly behavior of fleeing south greatly shook people's hearts.The generals of the surrendering faction in the DPRK and the Khitan and Han military officials who were oppressed in the Jin Kingdom, and the landlords and local tyrants rebelled against the Jin and surrendered to Mongolia.

Genghis Khan heard the news of Xuanzong's escape to the south from the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty who had surrendered to Mongolia, and saw the corruption and incompetence of the Jin Dynasty. go south.Along the way, the Jin army looked forward to surrendering.At the beginning of the third year of Zhenyou, the Mongolian army came to the city of Zhongdu again. Xuanzong heard that the Mongol soldiers came to besiege Zhongdu again, fearing that it would be difficult to protect Zhongdu, so he planned to call the prince Shouzhong to Nanjing immediately. The prince's departure from Zhongdu further showed that Jin Xuanzong had no intention of sticking to Zhongdu.The hearts of the soldiers who stayed behind in Zhongdu were fluctuating.At this time, Shuhu Gao Qi, who was in charge of the military and political power in Bianjing, refused to send reinforcements because of his discord with Cheng Hui, and the Central Capital was in danger.

In Zhongdu City, the left-behind Deputy Marshal Zuo and Pingzhang Zhengshi Mo Ran are loyal and have no intention of fighting for long, and conspired with his confidant Wanyan Master Aunt to flee south.Chenghui knew very well that the hearts of the people in Zhongdu were scattered and there were no reinforcements, so it would be difficult to hold on no matter what.He wrote a legacy form, in which he discussed the country's major plans, and pointed out: "Gao Qi is sinister in nature, harbors evil intentions, steals prestige, and eventually harms the country." He reported to the emperor as soon as possible, and then bid farewell to Shi Anshi, committed suicide by taking poison and died for the country.That night, Mo Ran loyally abandoned the imperial concubines in Zhongdu, and fled back to Bianjing with his concubine.Xuanzong didn't ask about his crimes, but still made him a political official of Pingzhang.

The next day, Shi Momingan led the Mongolian army into Zhongdu.It was May of the third year of Zhenyou (AD 1215).Xuanzong handed over the capital, which had lasted for more than 60 years, together with the ancestral land in the city and the entire land of Hebei to the Mongols.The fate of the Jin Dynasty was sealed. Xuanzong's original purpose of moving south was to temporarily avoid the edge of Mongolia and use the land of Hebei as a buffer in order to buy time for another development.Unexpectedly, things backfired, and they lost their masters and land, and even their peaceful court would be hard to protect.

Faced with the serious threat of the Mongolian army, the ministers who were in charge of the government at the time, Shuhu Gaoqi, the prime minister of the right, and Gao Ruli, the left prime minister, suggested to Xuanzong to launch a war against the Southern Song Dynasty and expand the territory of the Jin Dynasty to get rid of the crisis.Xu Ding, a political officer in Pingzhang, advocated uniting the Song Dynasty to fight against Mongolia, and opposed sending troops to invade the Song Dynasty.He wrote to Xuanzong, proposing the "six musts" to force the disadvantages of invading the Song Dynasty.But Xuanzong listened to the slander of Gao Qi and others, rejected the advice of Xu Ding and other insightful people, and sent three groups of golden soldiers to invade the Song Dynasty.During the war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, the Jin army encountered stubborn resistance everywhere. The Song army clung to the Jin army, and the Jin army was in a dilemma.

The Jin soldiers invaded the Song Dynasty, which further aroused the anti-gold sentiment of the people in the Central Plains under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. The anti-Jin rebel army emerged one after another and attacked the rule of the Jin Dynasty everywhere.The Jin Dynasty fell even more into a crisis of internal and external difficulties.Mongolia, Song, and Xia invaded each other, and the territory of the Jin Dynasty shrank day by day. In his last two years, Xuanzong appointed generals who had made great contributions to the fight against Mongolia, such as Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Zhongyuan, Chizhan Hexi, etc., in Tianping (now Shandong Dongping), Yan'an (now Shaanxi Yan'an), Fengxiang (now Shaanxi Fengxiang) ) battle, the Muhuali army was defeated, and some prefectures and counties in Shanxi were recovered.However, this did not fundamentally change the passive situation of the Jin Dynasty.Xuanzong was politically incompetent and tolerated traitors, which sharpened and intensified the contradictions among the Jurchen nobles.The Jin Dynasty was still surrounded by Mongolia, Song and Xia.Under the rule of the Jin Dynasty, mass uprisings continued to occur in various places, and the Anti-Gold Rebel Army was active everywhere.The Jin Dynasty at this time can really be said to be besieged on all sides, internally and externally trapped. In December of the second year of Yuanguang (AD 1223), Xuanzong died of illness in Ningde Hall at the age of 61. His dying edict made Prince Wanyan Shouxu inherit the throne.His posthumous title is "Following Tian Xingliu Shu Dao Qin Ren Ying Wu Sheng Xiao Emperor", the temple name "Xuan Zong".
