Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 490 I came to Shenshan, just a certification

The King of Pearls is here too.

Little Prince Wanyan Hongkang is here.

As soon as these two pieces of news spread, the entire holy mountain was in an uproar.

The camps where the tribes lived suddenly became turbulent.

They all changed into solemn robes, put on their favorite armor, slung over their shoulders sharp steel swords, rode on their steeds, and rushed down the mountain.

Although each tribe will have no more than 300 people attending the meeting on the Holy Mountain, the number of soldiers and horses cannot be obtained easily, and there must be appropriate supplies.

But with so many tribes gathered together, there were thousands of people in the team, and the momentum was so huge that even the birds in a dense forest seven or eight miles away were startled and flew away, circling in the sky like dark clouds.

In the distance, on a low mountain, from a small tribe that was not qualified to attend the meeting and could only be responsible for some supply and miscellaneous affairs, an octogenarian was standing on the hillside.

He leaned on his cane and said to his great-great-grandson with deep emotion: "Look, the tribes are so united. I haven't seen this in many years."

He looked up at the sky and sighed, "The last time was in the fourth year of Tianqing in the Liao Dynasty, when Aguda swore an oath at Lailiu River to fight against the Liao Dynasty."

The old man looked relaxed for a moment, as if he was recalling the glorious days of his youth:

"After the oath, he joined us and defeated the Liao army in Ningjiang Prefecture and Chuhedian, and finally had tens of thousands of soldiers.

The next year...we established Daikin..."

The great-great-grandson looked at the lively scene at the foot of the mountain, then looked at his ancestor, his face full of awe.

My own ancestor is also a man with a story!
……

At the foot of the mountain, Wanyan Hongkang’s big flag and King Zhenzhu’s big flag both arrived.

So, one team after another rushed down the mountain to meet them.

Heshelie, with his hair and beard flying, rushed to the front of Wanyan Hongkang's team with a big knife in hand, and shouted, "Hongkang, you little bastard, come out and die!"

On the other side, the leader of the Wujihe tribe pointed his gun at the banner of King Zhenzhu and shouted, "You old bastard Sheyema, take my bullet!"

When Wanyan Hongkang heard the shouting and cursing, he became furious and was about to rush forward.

Yang Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "Li Xunfeng, don't move rashly!"

Wanyan Hongkang was stunned for a moment, then he remembered his identity. It turned out that he was not scolding me, so he had to rein in his mount in dissatisfaction.

At this time, several tribes that had been attacked halfway rushed up angrily to challenge each other and shouted curses, causing chaos on the scene.

Looking from the distant mountains, one could see the two sides meeting and chatting warmly.

When Zheng Xiaobu saw his king being insulted, his face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "My king, I will take that fellow's head for you."

Wanyan Sheyema said calmly: "Don't act rashly. Leave everything to the Crown Prince of Yue."

Zheng Xiaobu was stunned and turned around and called out, "My King?"

Wanyan Sheyema ignored him, but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wanyan Hongkang's team.

Can that kid handle this situation?

After hearing what King Zhenzhu said, Wuda Youzhuzhu's face flushed with excitement. Is Wanyan Sheyema going to admit defeat?
She also played a major role in encouraging Wanyan Sheye to come out of retirement.

In order to strengthen Wanyan Sheye's determination to come out of seclusion, she even used her unique method to let King Zhenzhu make seven divinations in a row, and all the divinations were auspicious.

However, now she was just overjoyed at King Zhenzhu's retreat.

Because young Prince Wanyan Hongkang is now the one she believes is destined to be with her.

Wu Dayou also turned his head to look at the team next to him, and when he saw the figure that stood out from the crowd, his eyes became moist.

……

"Heshelie blows the tripod!" Yang Yuan rode his horse forward and looked at the trapped beast-like man opposite him with a smile.

Heshelie Chui Ding's eyes were red, he was panting, and he roared, "To tell you the truth, I am not here to participate in the Duboji Lie Conference, I am here to settle accounts with you!
You cruel beast, do you know how many old, weak, women and children in my tribe will starve to death because of you this winter? "

"What does that have to do with me? They are your tribesmen, not mine."

Yang Yuan was confident and pointed his whip at him, saying, "It was you who hooked up with Wanyan Yuanyun and tried to make my concubine the legal wife. I attacked you for that, but it's not my fault."

"You fart!"

Hesheli Chui Ding became even more angry and roared, "When I was in Yanjing, you knew that Wanyan Liang had evil intentions towards us, but did you warn us?"

Yang Yuan asked back, "What is the relationship between us, the Prince of Yue Palace, and you? Relatives? Close friends? Allies?"

Hesheli was stunned again when he heard the cauldron.

Yang Yuan said: "Since it is nothing, we are informing you of the news, which is a favor. If we don't inform you of the news, it is our duty. Is there any problem?"

In response to Yang Yuan's question, Hesheli Chuding didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Before going to the meeting on the Holy Mountain, Yang Yuan tried to persuade several tribal leaders who had been left alone in Yanjing City and wanted to be killed by Wanyan Liang's knife to put the blame on Wanyan Dari.

But it is no longer necessary now.

After the last ambush, King Zhenzhu, who had no intention of leaving the mountain, began to consider retreating.

After a heart-to-heart talk between the two on the way, King Zhenzhu made it clear that he would withdraw from the competition.

Therefore, he could have been more assertive and avoided causing dissatisfaction among Wanyan Dari's family with this excuse of shirking responsibility.

Yang Yuan said: "Even now, if you don't join the alliance and become our ally, I still won't care whether you and your tribe live or die.

Even this winter, when you are short of food and clothing and the weather is freezing, I may even personally lead the troops to completely wipe out your tribe."

Heshelie Chuiding's face flushed red, but Yang Yuan changed the subject and said, "You, submit to me. I will take care of your tribe's food for the winter this year."

Hesheli was stunned when he heard the sound of the cauldron: "What?"

Yang Yuan glanced at the colorful flags behind Hesheli Chuiding Ding and saw the flags of the Puchaye tribe and the Nalanbuha tribe.

As Yang Yuan looked towards them, the Bojins from the two tribes understood what he meant and rode their horses over.

When they got close, they immediately beat their chests to greet Yang Yuan and said respectfully, "Greetings, young prince!"

"You...you guys..." Hesheli Chuding looked at them in surprise.

Previously, through Shangguan Luo's siblings, Hesheli Chuiding already knew that the two tribes had agreed to support Wanyan Yuanyun.

What's going on at this time?
Behind Yang Yuan, Shangguan Luo rode up on horseback, clasped his fists and said with a smile to Heshelie Chuiding Ding: "Heshelie Bojin, Shangguan Luo greets you politely."

Heshelie was surprised again when he heard the cauldron: "Mr. Shangguan?"

When Shangguan Luo was explaining to Hesheli why he was here and why the Puchaye and Nalanbuha tribes "changed sides", and when the three of them were trying to persuade Hesheli to blow the ding, Yang Yuan had already turned his horse and walked away.

Yang Yuan went to meet the leader of another tribe, who had obviously been ambushed by "Yu Fengxian" and "Yang Xuance" and had suffered a great loss.

Therefore, when looking at him, there was both fear and uncontrollable anger in his expression.

Yang Yuan came in front of him and said calmly: "You are here because of the attack you suffered on the way, right? I have brought the people here, please listen to me first."

Yang Yuan waved his hand, and Wanyan Hongkang rode over on horseback, carrying "Yu Fengxian" with his hands tied behind his back.

At the end of the team, Li You and some people, including Yingge and A'man, had bypassed the two sides who were on the verge of a conflict and quietly went up the mountain from the other side of the crowd.

Their target was the temple on the mountain.

……

Yang Yuan didn't know whether it was because his luck was too strong or the Jin people were still very low in their level of political manipulation, he didn't think it was troublesome to solve these problems.

When the tribal chief who was nearly shot to death when he was attacked on the road learned the truth, he immediately dismounted and sincerely apologized to Yang Yuan.

Faced with reality, Hesheli Chuding had no choice but to give up his hatred and choose to bow to Huanxi Ridge.

He came to Yang Yuan and asked in a deep voice: "Young Prince, if I choose to be loyal to you, can you really guarantee that there will be enough food for my tribe this winter?"

Hesheli Chuding was skeptical about this.

Huanxi Town has become deserted since Wanyan Luti moved to Shandong Road.

It stands to reason that this town cannot possibly have sufficient food reserves.

Especially now that Huanxiling has gathered so many soldiers from the Hubudagang area, the daily food consumption is astonishing. Is there any surplus food to supply them?

Although Hesheli Chuiding had decided to bow to Huanxiling, he had to ask clearly about this issue first.

Shangguan Luo already knew about the sea transportation of grain, but he did not tell Hesheli Chuding about it.

He knew clearly what he could say and what he couldn't. This secret had to be told by the young prince himself.

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Huanxi Town, of course, can't give you that much food."

Hesheli's face suddenly changed when he started eating.

Yang Yuan said: "But I can get food from somewhere else."

Hesheli Chuding said with an uncertain expression: "My young prince, even in the capital city there is not so much food reserve.

Could it be that... Young Lord, you want to seize the position of leader of the alliance first, and then borrow grain from other tribes?"

Yang Yuan said: "That's not necessary, I have a way to transport enough food from the sea, as much as you need.

However, these foods are not given for free, you have to buy them with money."

A huge stone fell from Hesheli's heart. Compared with the many people who starved to death in the tribe this winter, spending money was nothing.

Heshelie Chuiding said happily: "That's no problem. We can exchange all the gold, ginseng, mink fur, horns, tendons, and glue for food."

After hearing this, Yang Yuan couldn't help but feel dazed, and he suddenly remembered his trip to Shanyin.

That time, in order to fool Shanyin Military Commander Chu Yuan, he pretended to be a businessman who had a way to get a large amount of raw materials for manufacturing bows and crossbows from the north in front of Chu Yuan's white glove Chu Nianqiu.

Unexpectedly, not long after that, he actually started to supply high-quality and low-cost military supplies to the Song Dynasty.

Seeing Yang Yuan's wandering eyes, Hesheli Chuding thought he was waiting for him to express his loyalty, so he put his hand on his chest and bowed solemnly:

"The Hesheli tribe is willing to serve the King of Yue as our capital, Bojilie. From now on, we will be at his beck and call, and be at his disposal!"

……

Because of the arrival of Wanyan Hongkang and Wanyan Sheyema, there was shouting and neighing of horses at the foot of the mountain, and the situation was tense.

The "Lai Guanfu" tribe from Liaodong then strengthened their vigilance to avoid being affected in the event of a melee between the two sides.

In reality, of course, this is just a cover.

Wugulun Yuanyi was thinking that once the two sides started fighting, he would take advantage of the chaos to attack and kidnap Wanyan Hongkang. He heard that his sister had been treated as a slave by the old man Li Minghe and given to Yang Yuan, a scholar from the Song Dynasty whom he wanted to recruit.

And Yang Yuan is now under house arrest on Huanxi Ridge.

Therefore, only by kidnapping Wanyan Hongkang could they negotiate with Huanxiling and get their sister back.

However, within half an hour, Wanyan Hongkang managed to settle the matter, and the mountain was calm and peaceful.

"Lai Guanfu" (Ugulun Yuanyi) first secretly expressed his pity, and then he sincerely admired Wanyan Hongkang.

The Jurchen tribes were very different from those in the Central Plains. It was too easy for conflicts to escalate among them, and the way to resolve conflicts was mostly for the two tribes to have a direct battle.

Being able to calm down the emotions of all parties and mediate the conflicts between them in such a short period of time, is this something a young man who has just reached the age of twenty can do?

But I don’t know how brave this young prince is. If he is not only knowledgeable but also courageous, and can win over the heroes and subdue the rebellious, then he will definitely be a great hero.

As Yuan Yi was thinking about it, he saw the tribal leaders, with their soldiers, riding horses, retreating in an orderly manner to make way.

When Wanyan Hongkang reached the stone steps leading to the mountain, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said something to King Zhenzhu.

King Zhenzhu waved his hand on the horse and answered a few words.

"Wanyan Hongkang" shook his head, walked over and helped him off the horse, then they climbed the mountain together with his arm in arm.

The uncle and nephew did not stop when they reached halfway up the mountain, but continued to walk up.

Wugu Lun Yuanyi looked up in surprise and was shocked to find that someone had already climbed the mountain and raised the flag of the King of Yue on the flagpole of the temple.

Yuan Yi let out a groan. This Wanyan Hongkang, the "Dubojilie" conference hasn't even started yet, but he actually dared to call himself the leader of the alliance and move directly into the temple as the guardian of the sacred mountain?

"Wanyan Hongkang" was really brave. Yuan Yi noticed that at the door of the temple, King Zhenzhu stopped and bowed his head to let "Wanyan Hongkang" go in first.

What this means is obvious.

Wu Gulun Yuanyi murmured, "This child cannot be kept, this child cannot be kept!"

He originally wanted to kidnap Wanyan Hongkang and use him to exchange for his younger sister, but now he has changed his mind. Even if he gets his younger sister back, he can't let him go back.

Otherwise, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains. This child will become a serious threat to our family!

……

The inauguration ceremony of "Du Bojilie" will be held tomorrow.

At the same time, Anban Bogile (successor), Gukron Bogile (prime minister), as well as Amai Bogile (first assistant to the prime minister), Zebogile (second assistant to the prime minister), and Yishi Bogile (third assistant to the prime minister) will be elected.

The leader of the alliance, the prime minister, three deputies, and the successor to the leader of the alliance, a total of six people.

However, under the Bojilie system, when encountering major internal and external events, the leader of the alliance cannot act alone.

The meeting can only be chaired by the leader of the alliance, with all the Bojilie members participating in the discussion, and then the six core members will vote on the differences.

If six people each hold half of the votes, it will easily lead to fierce internal conflicts.

Since Yang Yuan knew the disadvantages of this even number, he would of course deliberately keep the number of people in this core team to an even number.

The above news spread one hour after Yang Yuan moved into the temple.

Many neutral tribes were originally waiting for the two fiercely competing parties to condescend and promise various benefits to win them over.

But suddenly, they found themselves as if everything had been decided, because everything had been decided.

Yang Yuan boasted in front of King Zhenzhu that he came to the Holy Mountain not to compete for the position of leader of the alliance, but to make a confirmation under the witness of all the tribes, and to offer sacrifices and swear an oath to the sacred mountain. Now his words have come true.

Some tribes that originally supported King Zhenzhu were unaware of the situation and rushed to the temple to pay a visit to Wanyan Sheyema.

Among them, there were those who were careful and saw that King Zhenzhu and Prince Wanyan were living in the left and right side halls of the temple respectively, while Wanyan Hongkang was living in the left side hall facing east. They knew that the matter was probably irreversible.

Sure enough, not long after they visited King Zhenzhu, they left dejectedly.

Some of them were quick-witted and, after a little thought, immediately went to visit Wanyan Hongkang, the left side hall. It is better to seek help in a hurry than not to do so.

Some who were too embarrassed to do so left the temple in a hurry, waiting for the public ceremony to be held tomorrow.

By the evening, the Pearl King Sheyema took the initiative to pay his respects to the Bojin of some large tribes.

Then, some details about Bojilie's inauguration ceremony tomorrow were "accidentally" revealed by King Zhenzhu.

Du Bojilie (leader of the alliance) was Wanyan Luti.

Anbanbojilie (successor) Wanyan Hongkang.

The prime minister was Wanyan Dari.

What is Amabojilie (the first assistant to the Prime Minister)?

Zebojilie (the second assistant to the prime minister) Wanyan Sheyema.

Yishi Bojile (the third assistant to the Prime Minister) is lazy and not happy.

In addition, all the tribes of Bojin who attended the meeting were given the titles of Da Bojilie or Xiao Bojilie.

After being granted the title, their power will no longer be limited to their own tribe, but they will have the right to participate in the decision-making of national affairs and the right to supervise and impeach the illegal acts of other tribes.

In addition, a group of Hulu (commanders-in-chief) will be appointed at this conference. However, King Zhenzhu is old and can't remember clearly who they are. He only knows that Zheng Xiaobu, the first warrior of his tribe, is one of the Hulu.

At this point, the matter has been settled.

As long as the bigwigs at the top approve of this arrangement, no one else will be able to overturn this decision.

What's more, since Wanyan Sheyema has already announced his withdrawal from the competition, who can they nominate even if they want to overthrow Wanyan Hongkang?
Now, what makes all the tribal leaders curious is the candidate of Amai Bojilie.

The leader of the alliance and the prime minister are both fighting in Liaodong. This Amabojilie (the prime minister's first assistant) should be the actual controller of the various tribes in the Shangjing area.

However, his name was not revealed.

No matter how old King Zhenzhu is, it is impossible that he cannot remember such a few key figures.

Moreover, King Zhenzhu is the second assistant to the Prime Minister, below this person. How could he not remember who his immediate superior is?

But this person's name has never been revealed, which makes the tribal leaders particularly curious.

However, no matter how they inquired, they could not find any clues about the candidate for Amai Bojilie, which left them with no energy to consider other trivial matters.

The next morning, after the tribes had their meals, Qi Bojin led his personal guards to the temple.

There was a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the temple. Over the course of one night, many colorful strips had been tied on the pillars, eaves, and wind chimes, giving people a very sacred feeling when they stepped inside.

The main hall is extremely tall, but it is transparent. It is a gatehouse-like building built with tall pillars.

Because there is no need to offer anything in its temple.

This temple was built for Changbai Mountain, which is the main deity worshipped there. Therefore, the continuous mountains behind the temple that can be seen at a glance are the offerings in this temple.

There were only incense tables and sacrificial animals at the end of the hall.

The leaders of various tribes rushed to the temple, and according to their status and identity, they stood from inside the temple to the entire courtyard of the temple.

At this moment, Wanyan Hongkang (Yang Yuan) walked out from the side accompanied by the Pearl King Sheyema.

The two of them stood side by side in front of the incense table and turned to face the Bojin tribes.

Wanyan Sheyema said with emotion: "The emperor is tyrannical and unjust, so we all rise up to attack him. Now the King of Yue and the King of Zhao are fighting desperately in Liaodong to stop the enemy army.

We tribes should quickly elect an alliance leader to lead all the tribes, pacify Shangjing, support Liaodong, go south to Yanjing, and cleanse the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, forty years ago, we Jurchens established the Great Jin. At that time, our territory was only a small corner, and our army was no more than 2,000 soldiers.

The number of people gathered at the Holy Mountain meeting today is even smaller than you and I, but they have accomplished a great and spectacular cause.

As long as you and I are of one mind, there is no need to worry about not achieving our great goal.

The King of Yue and the King of Zhao were the first to raise the banner of overthrowing the tyrant monarch, and now they are fighting hard in Liaodong. They are the backbone of ensuring that our Shangjing is not harassed. The position of Du Bojilie should naturally be chosen from among the King of Yue and the King of Zhao.

I have discussed with the Crown Prince of Yue and the Crown Prince of Zhao, and we have unanimously nominated the King of Yue Wanyan Lvti as the Du Bojilie. Does anyone have any objection?"

After Wanyan Sheyema finished speaking, he looked towards the crowd with his cold old eyes.

Wanyan Dari's son Wanyan Shi looked aggrieved. The sixteen-year-old boy certainly wanted to fight for his father.

However, Wanyan Dari's influence in Liaodong was not as great as that of Wanyan Luti who was guarding Dading Prefecture.

Now, his great-uncle Wanyan Sheyema and the Crown Prince of Yue, Wanyan Hongkang, are in cahoots with each other, and he can’t win the fight.

As for others, there is even less need for them to step forward.

They want to support the leader of their choice, ultimately for the sake of their own tribe and their own personal interests.

Now, Sheyema has already talked to them privately and told them some of Wanyan Hongkang's cards. If they do not accept it, they can just say it in advance. If they insist on standing up and singing a different tune in such an occasion, they will offend all parties.

Seeing that the temple was completely silent, King Zhenzhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "The King of Yue is still fighting against the enemy army in Dading Prefecture. Today, the Crown Prince of Yue, Wanyan Hongkang, will accept our greetings on his behalf.

Wanyan Hongkang then announced the names of Anban, Guolun, Amai and other Bojilie (chiefs) and Hulu (commanders) on behalf of the King of Yue.

After Wanyan Sheyema finished speaking, he stepped back a few steps, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down first.

At this point, everyone in the palace, including the chiefs of the tribes, gave up their unrealistic fantasies and knelt on the ground.

Sheyema raised three fingers to the sky and said solemnly: "I, Wanyan Sheyema, now solemnly swear to the Changbai Sacred Mountain:
From now on, Wanyan Luti will be the Jurchen commander Bojile, and Wanyan Sheyema and his troops must obey his orders without any regrets.

If you disobey, the sacred mountain will witness it clearly, and your entire clan will be exterminated and you will die without a burial place!"

Wugulun Yuanyi knelt outside the hall, also raising three fingers to the sky. Every time Sheyema said a word, he would follow everyone and shout out the words "I rely on Guanfu" with full energy.

He estimated that he could be appointed to the position of a small Bojile or a Hulu.

He only needed to wait for Wanyan Hongkang to call him forward so that he could suddenly attack and directly kidnap Wanyan Hongkang.

His subordinates were already prepared. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, they would immediately ride south and leave a trusted group behind to cover their retreat. Wanyan Hongkang would surely not be able to escape.

In the right side hall, Wuda Youzhuzhu had taken off her clothes, revealing her beautiful and mature wheat-colored body.

On the table, there was a shaman hat decorated with deer antlers, a shaman robe decorated with copper bells and colorful strips of cloth, a pair of shaman boots and a very stream-of-consciousness ghost mask.

Soon, it would be her turn to perform a sacred dance for the newly elected Du Bojilie and confirm his identity with the will of the gods.

Zhuzhu had just picked up the magic boots and was about to put them on when a person suddenly flashed into the room.

The man slapped Zhuzhu on the back of the neck, then reached out to support her to prevent her from falling onto the table and making a noise.

She slowly laid Zhuzhu on the ground, looked at the divine robe and mask on the table, and a hideous smile slowly appeared at the corner of her scarred lips.
