Of course, Ximenqing's face was greater than that of Zhang Bangchang, Wanyan Zonghan agreed on the spot, and after returning to Datong Mansion, he would release Zhang Xiaochun to Chu State.

When Zhang Xiaochun returned to Bianliang City in Tokyo, the state of Chu had already been controlled by Ximen Qing.

Feeling the grace of Ximen Qing's rescue, Zhang Xiaochun also joined Ximen Qing's command.

This time Zhang Xiaochun was sent to the Kingdom of Jin by order, nominally representing the emperor Ximenqing and the concubine Wanyan Wulu of Qi to mourn his elder brother Wanyan Zongfu, and to visit Empress Tang Kuo, Wanyan Zonggan and other relatives in Huining City.

Facing such envoys, Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongpan had no excuse to stop him in Yanjing and other places, so they had to agree with Zhang Xiaochun to go to Huining City.

Zhang Xiaochun traveled north all the way, and along the way, he saw that starting from Yanjing City, Jin armies from all over the country were dispatching troops, and it was obvious that a civil war was inevitable.

After arriving in Huining City, Zhang Xiaochun found that although it was thousands of miles away from Datong Mansion, it had gathered heavy troops and was heavily guarded.

Wanyan Wu Qimai personally met Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of the State of Qi, and introduced to him the process of putting down the Wanyan Zonghan Rebellion.

Afterwards, Wanyan Zongpan personally accompanied Zhang Xiaochun to the tomb of Wanyan Zongfu, and met Wanyan Zonggan and others at the same time.

Wanyan Zonggan's expression was as usual, nothing unusual.He told Zhang Xiaochun that now the country is busy quelling the civil strife, he, the country's prime minister, has a huge burden on his shoulders, so he can't accompany Zhang Xiaochun more.

After seeing Wanyan Zongqian, Zhang Xiaochun informed Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Zongpan, the emperor of Jin Kingdom, that Wanyan Zongbi was out of danger, and at the same time exposed Yelu Yujian's betrayal of the Kingdom of Jin.

When Wanyan Zongqian heard the words, he was furious, and asked Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai to immediately send troops to attack Yelu Yujian, the traitor.

Yeluyu saw that this time was Wanyan Zongpan's sharp weapon against Wanyan Zonghan's remnants, how could he be easily convicted!

Wanyan Zongpan opposed sending troops to attack Yelu Yujian, and believed that he had to wait for Wanyan Zongbi to return to the country and make a thorough investigation before making the right decision.

Wanyan Zongpan told his father that at this time, Yeluyujian's Khitan army should be used to consume the Datong Mansion Wanyan's Yema rebel army, instead of forcing Yeluyujian into an enemy.

Wanyan Wu Qimai father and son are mobilizing an army, preparing to attack Datong Mansion.

Therefore, Wanyan Wu Qimai accepted Wanyan Zongpan's opinion, and did not pursue Yelu Yujian's role in the Jin army's westward expedition for the time being.

Of course, it was impossible to inform Qi State envoy Zhang Xiaochun of the debates and final decisions in these temples.

In Huining City, Zhang Xiaochun was accompanied and monitored by Wanyan Zongpan's cronies all the way, and he couldn't find much truth in the city, so he had to bid farewell to the Emperor of Jin, and then returned home.

Some things, without the truth, are enough to explain the problem in themselves.Relying on his own observation, Zhang Xiaochun already knew it well.

For the rest of the intelligence spying, there are full-time spy personnel in charge.

Chapter 63 Love and Kill Three Brothers

In order to take advantage of Yelu Yujian's power, Wanyan Zongpan chose to ignore the fact that Yelu Yujian might have betrayed the Jin army, but instead sent a special envoy to the Tiande army, trying to promise Yeluyu Jian a high-ranking official and generous salary so that he could fully cooperate with the Jin army. The main force of the army attacked the rebels in Datong Mansion.

However, before Wanyan Zongpan's special envoy came to Linhuang Mansion, Yelu Yujian, who was entrenched in the generation of Tiande Army, formally rebelled, playing the banner of "anti-Jin and Liao".

It turned out that Ximen Qing deliberately leaked the news to Yelu Yujian, letting him know that Yan Zongbi had survived and Jin Guo wanted to settle the old account of Xizheng with him.

Yeluyu saw that there was a ghost in his heart, and after learning that Yan Zongbi had survived from the desert in the Western Regions, he did not dare to pretend to be a loyal eagle dog of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and hurriedly contacted the old ministry to declare independence.

If there were no civil strife in the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that many Khitan nobles who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom would not dare to respond to Yelu Yujian's call this time.

However, seeing that the Kingdom of Jin was falling apart, many Khitan and Xi people who were forced to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin were moved, thinking that it was God who favored Daliao and guided the Jurchens to destroy themselves in the dark, which made Daliao revive. opportunity.

Therefore, the Khitan people and Xi people from Xijing Road, Zhongjing Road, and Shangjing Road in the original Liao Kingdom rebelled again, responding to Yelu Yujian's call to oppose the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Dynasty.

For a time, there were dozens of Khitan and Xi armed forces under Yelu Yujian, claiming to have more than [-] troops.

After these Khitan and Xi rebels raised their troops, the weaker ones defended themselves, while the stronger ones led troops to attack nearby counties.

The Liao rebels regarded all the Jurchens as their enemies. Whether it was the Jin government army in Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road, or the Wanyan Sheyema and Wanyan Pujia slave troops in Xijing Road, they were all attacked by these rebels. attack.

Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongpan were originally gathering an army to march west to Datong Mansion.At this time, wars were raging everywhere, and troops had to be put into the suppression of the rebellion on Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road.

Although there was no chaos in Yanjing, Wan Yanchang still closely monitored the Khitan people in Yanjing.

The poor Khitan people in Yanjing City were massacred by the Song army once when the Song army attacked Yan. During the reign of the Song Dynasty, they lived a cautious life and felt aggrieved.

Seeing that after the Kingdom of Jin ruled Yanjing City, the Khitan people in the city were no longer discriminated against, and they lived a peaceful life for a few days.

Now, because Yeluyu saw that guy was going to "reverse the Jin Dynasty and restore the Liao Dynasty", these Khitan people had to put their tails between their legs again, worrying day and night that the Jurchens would kill innocent people indiscriminately.

However, it was not the Khitan people in Yanjing City who were dragged down the worst by Yeluyu's rebellion, but Yelu Yanxi, the former Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty and the current Yuwang of the Great Jin Kingdom.

Yelu Yanxi was captured by the Kingdom of Jin. He was first granted the title of King of the Seashore and later the King of Yu, and was placed under residential surveillance in the interior of the Kingdom of Jin.

Yelu Yanxi had already lost his ambition to restore the Liao Kingdom at this time, and only wanted to spend his old age in peace.

However, some old Khitan ministers refused to let go of his signboard, and even organized a group of daredevils to "rescue" Yelu Yanxi, trying to take him to the Tiande Army at the foot of the Yin Mountain, as a signboard for the restoration of Liao Dynasty.

However, at such a sensitive moment, no matter how stupid Jin Jun was, he would not stop spying on Yelu Yanxi.

As a result, when the old Khitan ministers forcibly dragged Yelu Yanxi to escape to the Yazi River, they were surrounded by the Jin army, all of them were killed and then sank to the bottom of the river.

Yelu Yanxi managed to survive, but still did not escape the fate of dying under the golden saber.

Knowing that Yelu Yanxi was killed when he defected, Xiao Zhonggong, who did not participate in the defection conspiracy, chose to commit suicide in Huining City to die for his old master.

Xiao Zhonggong's little loyalty made Wanyan Wu Qimai and a group of Jurchen aristocratic ministers in Huining sigh a few words.But that's all.

In today's Jin Kingdom, blood and fire, conspiracy and ambition are the mainstream, and a loyal and loyal person like Xiao Zhonggong will soon be forgotten by others.

……

Wars continued in the north, but Ma Kuo and Zhang Xiaochun returned safely.

Based on what the two of them saw and heard, Ximen Qing judged that Wanyan Zongfu was undoubtedly killed by Wanyan Wu begging his father and son!

Moreover, Wanyan Zongqian was well aware of this matter, but he could not speak freely in front of the two Qi envoys.

A few days later, Ximenqing's secret envoy crossed the sea from Posu Road and returned to Bianliang City, Tokyo, bringing Ximenqing a secret letter from Wanyan Zongqian and three children.

Among the three Jurchen aristocratic little boys, one is the adopted son of Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Quan, the son of the deceased Wanyan Zongjun; one is Wanyan Yong, the son of the deceased Wanyan Zongfu;

Wanyan Zongqian's secret letter explained to Ximen Qing the truth of the Huining City incident that he had mastered.

Wanyan Zonggan said that Wanyan Zonghan never had the idea of ​​rebellion.Because of this, Wanyan Zonghan, who had been domineering for a while, lost to the more insidious and cunning Wanyan Zongpan.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongqian reflected on his negligence. He was in Huining City, but he didn't realize that the emperor and Wanyan Zongpan were going to violently use force to get rid of Wanyan Zonghan, a political enemy.

Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai not only wiped out Wanyan Zonghan's party in one fell swoop, but also killed two birds with one stone, killing Wanyan Zongfu who also held military power.

When Wanyan Zongqian discovered this conspiracy, the situation was over, and Huining City had been controlled by a dozen of Wanyan Zongpan's brothers.
