The main opposition was the Three-Man Alliance.
Those who arrived in Beijing before Jin Wushu included Zong Han, another marshal Orido, and Jin Taizu’s eldest son Zong Qian. These three were all powerful figures, and they were also a die-hard alliance firmly opposed to Puluhu’s succession. .This is also the reason why the Wolf Lord did not dare to attack Zong Han after the incident.
Zong Han came this time, naturally with the intention of regaining military power. Therefore, as soon as Jin Wushu arrived, the Jurchen nobles gathered to discuss the matter. Everyone came to the Qianyuan Hall of the Shangjing Palace, where the Wolf Lord and the nobles sat around the big earthen kang. Go up and start discussing politics.
Zong Han was smart and did not discuss the issue of the crown prince first. Instead, he first entered the issue from Lord Wolf’s excessive use of the treasury for private purposes. Zong Han said loudly: “Lord Wolf’s excessive use of the treasury for private purposes is a blatant violation of the oath of Taizu in the early days of the Kingdom. He must go to the kang and receive the cane. …”
Then, not allowing the wolf master to tell the difference at all, he, Orido, Zongqian and others swarmed up, pulled the wolf master off the earthen kang, and pushed him to the ground. Jin Wushu held a wooden stick and beat him hard on the buttocks no matter how the wolf master yelled and struggled. Twenty times.
The imperial power of the Jurchens at that time was far less powerful than that of the Han emperors. The large amount of gold and silver collected from the extermination of the Liao and Song Dynasties was shared with the various tribes according to the Taizu's oath, and was put into the national treasury to be used for military expenses in wars. But in the past year, the Wolf Lord The number of favored concubines increased, he was rewarded lavishly, and he was squandered. Zong Han and others beat him, which was not entirely an excuse. Although Jin Wushu was close to the Wolf Lord, he naturally felt that it did not matter in this matter, and only whipped him according to the rules.
After twenty blows, the ministers helped the wolf master onto the earthen kang, then they all knelt down and saluted, saying: "My husbands, please apologize!"
Then, each person took turns offering a glass of wine to the wolf master, which was regarded as calming the wolf master. The wolf master endured the pain in his buttocks, sat on the animal skin, and according to custom, drank every glass of wine presented by the ministers. Later, he was so drunk that he could no longer discuss politics with the ministers.
The servant came up to help the wolf master back to recuperate. Zong Han stared at Jin Wushu. Today, besides the wolf master, the bigger threat is naturally Jin Wushu, because according to the rules, he is likely to become the first marshal of the Jin Kingdom. —The high position of marshal.
This is something Zong Han cannot allow under any circumstances.
Jin Wushu glared back at him and smiled faintly. He was thinking deeply and would never argue with Zong Han again at this time. He immediately said: "The Wolf Lord is drunk, so we might as well discuss it another day."
Everyone had to disperse.
Jin Wushu was walking behind, and a servant suddenly called him in a low voice: "Fourth Prince, stay here."
When he turned around, he saw that he was a servant of Puruhu, the son of the wolf lord.
He understood and immediately entered a house with the servant.
Puluhu was young and energetic, and had a bad temper. When he found out that Zonghan and others were obstructing his succession, he said: "Zonghan is cruel and will be a disaster. They will stay in the Imperial Village in Shangjing for half a month this time, waiting for me to lead five hundred men. Take the opportunity to kill them to avoid future troubles."
Jin Wushu said hurriedly: "No. They all have great achievements, and there is no obvious evidence of rebellion. The Wolf Lord will definitely not allow their execution. According to my opinion, we might as well wait until the next year to promote Zong Han and others and teach them to go to other places. Without military power, there will be no trouble."
Pruhu was still angry: "I will ask my father to do it immediately. They don't want me to be the crown prince. I am really angry."
Jin Wushu comforted him: "This matter has not yet been decided. We will discuss it again after Zong Han and others are dismissed. There will still be opportunities."
Puluhu said hurriedly: "When I become the Lord of the Wolf in the future, I will completely remove Zong Han, Orido and others, and make you the marshal of the capital to take charge of the world's troops."
Since then, Jin Wushu and Puluhu have formed a solid alliance.
Jin Wushu suppressed the anger in his heart and looked around, only to see that the old man was indeed a Jurchen, deaf and blind. He was suspicious and took a few steps, but there was no one else around. .
"Fourth Prince..."
At this time, the guards behind him rushed up to "protect him". When the old man heard that he was the "Fourth Prince", he was so frightened that he quickly saluted: "I have offended many people and accidentally dropped my straw hat. Please forgive me, Fourth Prince..." Fourth Prince, I will give this cuckold to you...ah..."
Most Jurchens didn't know what "cuckold" meant. Jin Wushu knew that the old man was not malicious, and in front of all the guards, it was really difficult to say, and he couldn't argue with the old man, so he was so angry that he The cuckold stamped his feet, rushed downstairs, turned around, mounted his horse and ran away.
The old man was disturbed by this, and he quickly picked up the hat on the ground. He thought, he just took a nap, and the hat changed color. Have you never knitted this kind of hat before? Dim Hua took a look at it and said to himself: "It looks pretty good. Why doesn't the fourth prince want it?" Seeing that the hat was almost damaged, he had to throw it away.
When the sound of horse hooves completely disappeared, and the group of people walked away without a trace, at the opposite corner, a big man holding a wine bottle couldn't help laughing, and said to himself: "Jin Wushu, the weather is hot, I have good intentions. I’m giving you a cuckold and you still don’t want it, it’s really a shameless thing...”
Ma Su followed him these days and saw him with a gloomy face every day. He had not laughed like this for a long time. He immediately whispered: "The fourth prince is so hateful. I will make fun of him more in the future."
"Hahaha, that's fine, so as not to have no fun staying in this hellish place."
Jin Wushu rushed back to the mansion.
Although it was Shangjing, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the level of Jurchen civilization was lower than that of the fallen Liao Kingdom, and even the fourth prince's palace was far inferior to the palace of the original Khitan nobles occupied by Jin Wushu in Yanjing.
Yelu Guanyin came full of hope. When she saw this, she felt a chill in her heart. However, she immediately ordered her servants to start decorating according to her interests and tastes. Fortunately, the fourth prince's house had a rich collection and many servants, so they worked together to decorate it according to her interests and tastes. In a few days, the old appearance changed into a new one.
On this day, the fourth prince came to the palace to discuss politics. In order to surprise him, Yelu Guanyin summoned all the Jurchen noble women at home to hold a family banquet. She was very communicative and could curry favor with the wives and concubines of several important officials. Each of them prepared a lot of gifts, so these women had a good impression of her first.
In order to show her status as the number one hostess in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Yelu Guanyin made careful arrangements for the people who would serve the dishes. Jin Wushu brought seven or eight concubines to Beijing. In the past few days, there have been Lord Wolf, the dozen or so concubines given to him by other nobles, plus the dozen or so people originally from the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Jin Wushu's group of concubines has almost reached thirty or forty people.
Yelu Guanyin put a lot of thought into how to highlight her status among thirty or forty ladies. During the feast, she divided the ladies into three teams, one team was responsible for serving drinks, one team was responsible for serving dishes, and the other team was responsible for serving food. The team is responsible for serving tea and fruits.
The guests and hosts sat down. The boundaries between wives and concubines of Jurchen aristocratic women were not very clear. Wherever they had seen such an outstanding and powerful hostess, they all complimented her. Yelu Guanyin was even more proud, and encouraged everyone to drink one cup after another.
During the excitement, I heard the maid report that the Fourth Prince was back.
When the female relatives saw the fourth prince coming in, they immediately saluted according to etiquette. Jin Wushu saw his ladies all flying around like butterflies serving food, and thought, there are so many slaves in the prince's house, why do you ask the ladies to serve tea and food? But he never interfered in housework, and he didn't ask about Yelu Guanyin's arrangements. He just sat next to her, took the wine from Yelu Guanyin, and drank a full glass.
The guests had always known that the Fourth Prince was vicious, but when they saw him sitting next to Yelu Guanyin like a sheep, they understood in their hearts that this woman was indeed the super master of the Fourth Prince's house.
Jin Wushu drank a few drinks and went to rest first on the pretext of being dizzy. However, Yelu Guanyin had a great time with the female relatives until midnight, and then the banquet was dispersed.
Jin Wushu sat in his study depressedly, flipping through the book at random, and unexpectedly thought of the cuckold again. Although he was unable to pursue the half-blind old man at the time, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Someone must be playing tricks on him. However, After thinking about it, who would make fun of me
Moreover, what is the intention of this teaser? Wang Junhua has returned to the Song Dynasty with Qin Hui. Which of the women around him is cuckolding him? His heart froze, and he suddenly had a strange thought: Could it be that one of his concubines cheated on her while he was away from Shangjing? However, there are dozens of concubines, but who are they
He went through the five or six concubines he favored a little bit in his mind one by one. He felt that none of them were possible, and he felt that everyone was possible, but he did not think of Yelu Guanyin at all. Because Yelu Guanyin was pregnant, in his mind Among them, the status is basically that of the head wife. Throughout the ages, men’s concepts have been similar. When it comes to Hongxing’s affair, concubines and other concubines are always suspicious first, and generally they do not think of the head wife first. What’s more, after Yelu Guanyin married him, They stayed together and soon became pregnant again. No matter how much he thought about it, he would never think of Yelu Guanyin in his dreams.
These days, the political situation is turbulent and the struggle is becoming more and more intense. Although he has gained the trust of the Wolf Lord and formed a party with Puluhu, after all, the alliance of Orido, Zong Qian and Zong Han is still powerful. Even the Wolf Lord Don't underestimate them either.
After sitting for a long time, I suddenly remembered that I had never seen my son since I came to Beijing, and I had never seen my son at today's family dinner, so I went to the wet nurse's room to visit.
The wet nurse took little Lu Wenlong to live alone in a small room in the backyard. As soon as Jin Wushu entered, he saw that the room was relatively clean and deserted. He called out from a distance, but no one answered.
He was even more displeased and shouted: "Nanny..."
No one answered after calling three times. He opened the door and went in, only to see the room was dark and dim. He lit a candle and saw his son lying on the kang, with his eyes closed and his cheeks red. He reached out and touched the child. My face was so hot that I felt like I had a fever.
He was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Someone, come quickly..."
After a while, I realized that the wet nurse was washing a lot of dishes in the kitchen. When she heard the sound, she ran over with an unwashed dish in her hand. She stood with her hands crossed and looked frightened: "I have seen the fourth prince..."
"What are you doing? Your son has a fever like this, and you don't care?"
The nurse hurriedly said: "Slave, please go to the kitchen to help..."
"There is a servant in the kitchen, who asked you to go?"
The wet nurse did not dare to say that it was Yelu Guanyin who showed off her feminine power. In fact, since she came to Shangjing, the wet nurse has basically been equivalent to a rough servant. She spends less time taking care of the children and more time doing various menial tasks. See Jin Wushu When asked, he didn't dare to tell the difference. He just looked at the child in panic and muttered: "I will go take care of the young master right now..."
Jin Wushu was still angry and hurriedly went to make ginger soup when he saw the wet nurse. He never believed in Han medical officials, but that time when he got sick, Huarong had to use medicine to treat him. He gradually became in awe of the Han medical skills and did not stop him. Tell everyone to take good care of the children.
The wet nurse came in with ginger soup, but she heard a gentle and kind voice: "Is the child sick? I am busy today and have no time to take care of the child. It is really the slave's fault... "
