Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Wanyan Zongpan believes that Chu State is a vassal state of Jin State, and Zhang Bangchang is also the emperor of Chu State appointed by the emperor of Jin State.

How could the ministers of the vassal state of Chu dare to abolish the emperor appointed by the Jin state and establish a new one without authorization before receiving the imperial edict from His Majesty the emperor of the Jin state, the suzerain state?

Wanyan Zongpan believes that no matter whether it is the state of Chu or the newly established state of Qi, its emperor must be canonized by the emperor of the state of Jin in order to be recognized by the state of Jin.

No matter who it is, daring to claim the title of emperor without authorization is disrespectful to the emperor Wanyan Wu of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Zongpan sneered and threatened Ma Zhi, have the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom forgotten what it's like to be an iron cavalry in the Kingdom of Jin?

Facing the threat of Wanyan Zongpan, Ma Zhi argued with reason without being humble or overbearing, and expressed Qi's goodwill to Wanyan Wu begging for the monarch and his ministers.

Then, Ma Zhi explained to the king and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin how Zhang Bangchang's abdication of the throne directly caught up with the ancient sages and ancestors.

In the end, Ma Zhi said to Wanyan Wu, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, that he asked the Kingdom of Jin to send envoys to accompany him back to Bianliang City, Tokyo, to bring the goodwill of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, so that the two countries will be forever good.

"Well, the southerners are the most cunning, you can't believe what you say!

Ma Shangshu, have you forgotten the "Sea Alliance" signed with our country on behalf of the Song Dynasty?

It should be noted that the Song Dynasty tore up the agreement before the ink was dry!

What kind of Qi country do you represent now, how can you win the trust of me and Dajin? "

Wanyan Zongpan questioned Ma Zhi a few words, and then walked away.

Seeing this, Wanyan Zongqian hurriedly stood up to smooth things over.

However, Wanyan Wu Qimai still believed that his suzerainty had been challenged, and did not change because of Wanyan Zongqian's persuasion.

In the end, Wanyan Wu Qimai coldly asked Ma Zhi to leave the Emperor's Village, and waited for his final answer in Huining City.

Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Kingdom of Jin was very familiar with his nephew and son-in-law Ximen Qing, and Prince Wanyan Zongpan was also quite familiar with Ximen Qing.

Why are their father and son dissatisfied with Ximen Qing being the emperor?

Because, when Ximen Qing became the emperor, the only ones who benefited in the Jin Dynasty were the brothers of the Aguda family.

Whether it was Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongfu, or Wanyan Zongbi, with the backing of his brother-in-law Ximenqing, his power would only grow stronger.

And this will obviously threaten the imperial power that Emperor Wanyan Wu begged to buy.

Ximenqing sent so many classic Chinese books back then, which had already influenced the thinking of many Jurchen nobles in Huining City.

As the crown prince, Wanyan Zongpan especially admired the system of the Han family's son inheriting his father's business, and he was determined to win the throne of the emperor of the Jin Kingdom.

The first thousand and forty-five chapters of Wanyan Wu's anger at begging to buy

Today's Dajin Kingdom is in the process of transitioning from a slavery tribal alliance to a centralized state.

Originally, the backward mode of production of the Jurchen, which was half fishing and half farming, complemented the tribal alliance system without any conflict.

However, when the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Khitan and Liao Kingdom, a large number of Han people who were mainly farming were controlled in the country, and many aristocratic families of the Han people were absorbed into the regime, the Jurchen nobles were affected and gradually Sinicized.

Farming civilization is different from nomadic civilization and fishing and hunting civilization, and has a higher demand for stability.

Both the feudal system and the centralized system are more advanced than the original tribal alliance system and are more suitable for the current situation of the Jin Kingdom.

For the Han clans in the Kingdom of Jin, it is natural that most of them support the centralization and the inheritance of imperial power.

Only under such a system can these Han families in the north squeeze into the center of power and gradually replace those Jurchen military nobles.

If the tradition of the Jurchens is followed, and the Bojilie system born out of the tribal alliance system continues to be implemented, and the power is in the hands of the Jurchen nobles, how will those well-read poets in the Han family make their way?

Among the Jurchen aristocrats, there were people who loved Han culture. After Ximenqing sent many Chinese classics, more and more Jurchen aristocrats were influenced by the Central Plains culture, and they also had a better understanding of the political system of the Central Plains dynasty.

Coupled with the fueling of the aristocratic families of the Han people, unconsciously, the number of Jurchen aristocrats who supported the imperial power and supported the reform of the vigorous system also increased day by day.

As the eldest son of the current emperor Wanyan Wu begging for money, Wanyan Zongpan is the legitimate prince of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the eyes of the Han ministers, Prince Wanyan Zongpan was the most reasonable heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Jin.

What a primitive way that brothers and sisters take turns sitting in the manor, and the Jurchen aristocratic meeting elects the next heir to the throne!

If the throne is won only by the strong, won't such a large country be caught in internal struggle for a long time, when will it be able to develop stably?

Therefore, although Wanyan Zonghan is the nominal heir to the throne, Pan Bo Jilie, and a hero recognized by the Jin army, he represents the backward tribal alliance selection system, and is not liked by most Han officials.

In fact, because of Wanyan Zonghan's strength in the Kingdom of Jin, many Han ministers from the Liao Kingdom who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin tested Wanyan Zonghan to see if he could promote the political reform of the Jurchens.

It is a pity that Wanyan Zonghan himself is a vested interest in the Jurchen aristocratic traditional system, and is also a defender of the Jurchen aristocratic tradition.

Wanyan Zonghan did not want to change the Jurchens' political traditions.To use Yan Zonghan's words, my Jurchens have united all the Jurchens with this traditional system and swept the world with invincible opponents. Why do we need to change again?

Since Wanyan Zonghan couldn't find a way out, the Han ministers naturally turned to support the prince Wanyan Zongpan.

Although Wanyan Zongpan may not have advanced political ideas, he is better at communicating than Wanyan Zonghan, who represents the interests of Jurchen military nobles!

Furthermore, as long as Wanyan Zongpan is pushed to the throne and he is allowed to inherit the Datong as the crown prince, the political system passed down from father to son will be formed in fact, and the vigorous system of the Jurchen aristocracy will be disintegrated.

In this way, the political pursuit of the Han ministers of the Kingdom of Jin combined with the political ambition of Prince Wanyan Zongpan to form a new political group.

As Wanyan Zongpan's wings gradually grew, he gradually revealed a majestic attitude.

For Wanyan Zongpan to inherit the throne smoothly, the ones who need to be suppressed are his two cousins, Wanyan Zonghan of the Sagai family and Wanyan Zonggan of the Aguda family.

This time, Ximen Qing cut first and played later, and only after ascending to the throne did Ma Zhi rush to Huining City belatedly, imperceptibly revealing that Ximen Qing was not respectful enough to the emperor Wanyan Wu of the Kingdom of Jin.

It should be known that the Kingdom of Jin is the nominal suzerain of the Kingdom of Chu, and Wanyan Wu Qimai is also the uncle of Ximen Qing, the son-in-law of the Kingdom of Jin!

Did Ximenqing's move get the support of the Aguda brothers?

Wanyan Wu Qimai thought of this, of course he wouldn't give Qi State envoy Ma Zhi a good look.

Wanyan Zongpan's color changed even more, and he launched an attack in court.

In fact, what Wanyan Zongpan was targeting was the outsider Ma Zhi, he clearly meant to listen to Wanyan Zonggan who was present.

Because of this, Wanyan Zongqian was quite embarrassed, and it took a long time to say some soft words to appease Wanyan Zongpan, and begged for emperor Wanyan Wu to express that the Aguda family had no second thoughts.

Although Wanyan Zongqian lowered his figure and responded appropriately, the emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai somewhat saved some face, but Wanyan Wu Qimai was still in a difficult mood, and did not immediately approve of Zhang Bangchang's Zen position and Ximen Qing's matter.

Regarding the political changes that occurred in Chu State, is Jin State pinching his nose and ratifying it?Or in order to show the majesty of the suzerain state, send an envoy to reprimand, and ask Ximen Qing to write a letter of apology?

Or, take advantage of the problem and send troops south again?Taking advantage of the momentum to annex the Central Plains?

Wanyan Wu Qimai thought that this matter must be discussed with a group of ministers.

In fact, as the emperor of Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu Qimai was already dissatisfied with both Ximen Qing and Wanyan Zonghan because of the destruction of Xixia Kingdom.
