Chapter 509 ?? The Day of the Golden Kingdom's Subjugation! Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Twenty-four years of family and country, eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers. Iron horses and golden swords are like dreams, and millions of soldiers are like bubbles. Today, it is all empty..."
On the fourth day of the fourth month of the Song Dynasty, when the last emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty Wanyan Liang walked into the Taimiao crying and reported the bad news of the destruction of the country to one of the few late emperors in the Great Jin Dynasty, he couldn't help but recite his "destruction of the destruction of the country".
His "destroyed country" was modified according to Li Yu's "Breaking the Array. Family and Country Over the Forty Years".
Of course, Wanyan Liang's literary talent is not as good as that of the late master of Li, but the process of the destruction of the Jin Dynasty was much more tragic!
All the iron horses and gold swords were exhausted, and millions of heroic troops were exhausted. The last capital of Linhuang Mansion was besieged for several months. The 200,000 to 300,000 nations were almost ate human flesh and were unwilling to surrender... It was not until the heads of Jin Wushu and his son were taken to the Linhuang Mansion Palace that the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom cried in tears and agreed to the humiliating conditions for surrender.
"Your Majesty, the time is almost done..."
Wanyan Liang's "National Destruction" was just halfway through reading, and Xiao Zhonggong's voice rang in his ears.
Wanyan Liang looked back at Xiao Zhonggong who had already changed into the Liao Dynasty's official uniform, and just sighed softly: "At this point, what are you asking me to do? I am already the king of the destruction..."
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. This king of the devastated country may not be able to stand out..." Xiao Zhonggong comforted Wanyan Liang, "Look at the Marquis of Haibin. Now that the emperor has been restored to his post, he has become the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Although he is a child emperor, he is the emperor after all!"
Wanyan Liang smiled bitterly: "I have always looked down on Haibinhou, but I didn't expect to become the same as him!"
Wanyan Liang finally lived the most annoying appearance he had.
After saying this, Wanyan Liang turned his head again, and said to the ancestral tablet in the Taimiao with tears in his eyes: "The ancestors are above, and the unworthy descendants Wanyan Liang will move a place for you... You can't live in this Taimiao anymore. Yelu Abaoji, Yelu Deguang and his family are still waiting to move in!"
It turned out that Zhao Kai also lent the Linhuang Mansion to Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Yuliyan to live there. The emperor and the granddaughter of the emperor must be alone!
Moreover, Yelu Dashi would definitely not let them stay on the grasslands in Mobei. It was a last resort to admit that Yelu Yanxi's throne was already a last resort - this was the great name of the Great Liao!
The names of Dayi belong to Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Yuliyan, Yelu Dashi's appeal will decline, and Mobei under his rule will also face the infiltration of the Confucian clan court. In fact, the infiltration of Mobei by the Confucian clan court had already begun. As early as the tenth year of Hongwu, the Confucian clan court opened a Mobei academy in Wangtingkeduncheng, Yelu Dashi, and used this as a base to start cultivating Confucians in Mobei and promoting the morality of the laws and morality.
However, the activities of the Confucian clan in Mobei are under the control of Yelu Dashi... Yelu Dashi himself is also a Confucian scholar. He is also proficient in Confucian principles, can see the essence of Confucianism, and can also understand what the new Confucianism means in the study of things in the sky.
Therefore, his control over Confucianism in Mobei was still very effective... Under his instructions, Confucianism in Mobei downplayed the investigation of things and strengthened the ethical order. The laws of nature were no longer the goal of investigating things, but the ruler of the ethical order in the world.
The Confucian ethical order adopted by Dashi is not from the official version, but from the feudal version... The version is more primitive, but more in line with the actual situation of the grassland.
To summarize it briefly, it is the Khitan version of Xia Junyi people plus the hierarchy concept of king, minister, minister, father, son and son. This version of Confucian ethical order plus the military order provided by the bastion and camel can establish a relatively stable feudal country on the Mobei grassland. Even if the grassroots nomadic tribes must still operate within a certain range, as long as the nomadic people in Mobei cannot break any bastion with their hard power and cannot fight against the Khitan cavalry with camel cannons, then the feudal order on the Mobei grassland can gradually stabilize.
However, a feudal country that introduced Confucianism, no matter which version it was, always recognizes the name of Dayi... and the highest name of Dayi, the grassland empire established by Dashi, was in the hands of Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Yuliyan.
Of course, Yelu Dashi was not afraid when he was alive, but once he was gone, it is hard to say whether his grassland empire would fall into Yelu Yanxi, who had the title of Dayi and Zhao Kai's support, and Yelu Yuliyan.
If Yelu Dashi was smart enough, he would have turned his country from an empire into a kingdom before he died, and joined the vassal system with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty as the core.
At that time, Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Yuliyan would give up the name of the emperor and the princess and become a vassal king of the Song Dynasty. Yuliyan's heir would be Zhao Kai's son.
However, those are things in the future. The Linhuang Prefecture City has become the capital of the Great Liao Empire again.
When Wanyan Liang walked out of the Taimiao of Linhuang Mansion with a group of "Wanyan" holding the tablet of Wanyan Aguda like him, he saw Yelu Yanxi holding a group of Khitans with the surname Yelu and Xiao holding their tablets of their ancestors waiting outside the Taimiao!
These "Yelu" and "Xiao" did not all come with Yelu Dashi, but many of them were loyal ministers from three dynasties... Not long ago, they were flattering Wanyan Liang, but now they have changed into the official uniforms of the Liao Kingdom, and they all look at Wanyan Liang and his relatives coldly, hoping to come up and bite people.
However, Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of Liao, did not take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and even came up with A Baoji's tablet to greet Wanyan Liang - probably he wanted Yelu A Baoji and Wanyan Agu to say hello to the Spirit of Heaven, right?
Yelu Yanxi smiled and comforted Wanyan Liang, saying, "Don't be sad, Duke Hunde, the destruction of the country of Dajin is not your fault, but the fate of the country has been really exhausted... The fortune of the country has been exhausted, and even if there is a wise and heroic lord, it is difficult to recover. The fortune of the country has not been exhausted, and even if there is a fool like me, he can still survive for a while."
Wanyan Liang was so envious and jealous when he heard Yelu Yanxi say something about "staying alive"!
He really wants to survive!
Two or three years ago, he looked down on Gou Yan very much, and wrote a poem saying that he wanted to "promote a million troops into Luoyang and immediately follow the first peak of Songshan." Now he wanted to survive. Even if there was only one city, it would be very happy to be a city lord.
However, Zhao Kai refused to even grant a city to Wanyan Liang, and only gave him a valley called Yunnan Insect Valley. He knew it was not a good place at once.
But no matter how bad the place is, it is better than the underworld!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Liang could only cry and said with a sad face: "My fortune in the Great Jin Kingdom has been exhausted. From today on, there will be no Great Jin Kingdom in the world. I only hope to be a wealthy man in Shuntian... I also asked the Emperor of the Great Liao to say a few good words to Yu in front of the great official."
Yelu Yanxi nodded repeatedly, "It must be...oh, the time is almost over. I am going to enter the Taimiao with my ancestor tablet. Let's leave!"
After saying this, Yelu Yanxi walked into the Taimiao with Abaoji's tablet, and while walking, he muttered the words: "Ancestor, ancestor...we're going home!"
It turned out that this Taimiao was also left by the Liao Kingdom, but only asked Aguda and Wu Qi to buy their tablets for a few years, and now the temple has returned to its original owner.
Seeing Yelu Yanxi and a group of loyal ministers from three dynasties happily entering the Taimiao with their ancestor tablets, Xiao Zhonggong, who was responsible for the surrender of the Great Jin Kingdom, came up to Wanyan Liang again and said, "Donald Hunde, the ceremony of resigning from the temple has ended. Next, it is time to perform the ceremony of holding the sheep... Please wear a loose clothes!"
The so-called ritual of leading the sheep is a surrender ceremony. The surrender party, both men and women, must take off their shirts, put on sheep's clothing, tie a rope around their necks, and walk to the designated location of the surrendered party. The meaning of this set of etiquette is to be like a sheep and let the other party slaughter.
"Everyone wants to take off his clothes?" Wanyan Liang turned around and looked at the female relatives behind him. He was a man, of course he was not afraid of taking off his clothes. But what should those female relatives do? There are three wives and two mothers here!
Xiao Zhonggong also felt that this was not very elegant, but he could not make any decision to add more clothes to the female family members, so he had to turn around and say to a tall man wearing the Song Dynasty official uniform: "King Dali, do you think this is to let the female family members add more clothes to cover it? These female members may not necessarily go to Yunnan!"
This tall man turned out to be Duan Yu... He is now in charge of the "Quanzhi Surrender" and is responsible for the surrender affairs of the Great Jin Kingdom with Xiao Zhonggong. In addition, he has to select a group of people suitable for traveling thousands of miles from Linhuang Prefecture to follow Wanyan Liang to settle in Yunnan. Oh, he has to find a "Word Valley" in Yunnan to settle these people.
What a headache!
But no matter how painful the head hurts, you have to do a good job!
Because he almost became Wanyan Liang!
After listening to Xiao Zhonggong's suggestion, Duan Yu immediately understood... Young and beautiful women would not go to Yunnan! So he had to add some clothes to them, so he couldn't be too decent. Otherwise, the wind would blow by the pillow in the future!
Thinking of this, Duan Yu nodded and said, "What King Xiao said is reasonable, and it depends on what King Xiao means."
Xiao Zhonggong's "Surrender of Quan Tongzhi" was just a temporary assignment, not a formal official position. His official position was the king of the Southern Court of the Great Liao Kingdom.
Xiao Zhonggong and King Xiao turned around and said to Wanyan Liang: "Duke Hunde, is this okay? It's getting late, so let's wear loose clothes... Come on, pick a cleaner sheepskin for Duke Hunde, and then choose a softer hemp rope."
