The Eye of the Yuan Dynasty

Jin Emperor Longyan Dayue was about to make a final decision on this matter when Xu Zhiguo suddenly came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty can't do it. The sage said: 'In a family of hundreds of chariots, there is no minister who gathers animals. Rather than having ministers who collect money, there are ministers who steal. 'The country does not take profit for profit, but righteousness for profit. Issuing certificates is to raise and collect ministers, and to make thieves into the country is an evil government that invites disasters."

Xu Chiguo was born at the bottom of the society, so he naturally understands the key points and is proficient in Confucian classics. This passage quotes the original text of "Great Learning" in the Four Books. Leng Yan Shijun, headed by Lu Duo, came out to accuse Xu Chiguo, saying that he was born in a humble background and was dishonest.

Jindi regards the four characters of "filial piety, honesty and shame" as his moral standard, so he naturally supports introversion and opposes lying flat. If you don't have money and lie flat, how can you support your parents?Don't give women money, don't get married, and want women to learn from you. This unhealthy trend that shakes the foundation must be resolutely stopped, so he refuted Xu Chiguo's remonstrance, but because Xu Chiguo was a friend who grew up with him, he encouraged a sentence "straight Admonish loyal ministers".

Jindi issued the imperial decree on the spot, ordering the whole country to implement it immediately.

Consciously doing a great good deed, and in a happy mood, the crime of negligence in private fighting between Wanyan Chengyu and Mouke was lightened, and he was punished with a stick, and Wanyan Chengyu was unscathed. So here we go.

Wanyan Chengyu saw that the Heavenly Master's Mansion had kicked the iron plate, how could he take the blame for this negligence, so he picked a soft persimmon and continued to shake it, and played to the Jin Emperor again: "The assassination took place in Dading Mansion, which was originally the Liao Kingdom. In the old capital, the assassins are so familiar with the terrain, it must be that the Yelu tribe has neglected their duties in guarding the land and communicating with enemies from inside and outside, I hope the Lord will be clear about it."

Based on the inference of guilt, isn't it the adherents of the Liao Kingdom who most expect something to happen to the Jin Kingdom?This pot is very relieved.

Wanyan Yongji didn't know why he stood up and supported him: "The Yelu people live together, once there is a disturbance, it will become a prairie fire. It should be a long-term strategy for two Jurchen families to live together with one Yelu family. .”

It is so elegant to say that the two live together and one live together, the Yelu people are captives, and their status is underground, if they are divided in this way by the Jurchens, they are afraid that their lives will be worse than death, and their lives will be in danger at any time.

However, there were also members of the Yelu clan in the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty, and Yelu Ahai was one of them. He knew many foreign languages, was extremely brave, and was especially good at riding and shooting. Hearing about this poisonous plan to trap the clansmen to death, he immediately objected: "Dading Mansion There are officials guarding the land, and the officials are not investigated, so why should the common people be innocent? Suspicion without reason, is it not the wise old man who suspects his neighbors?"

Wan Yanxiang is the only surviving Tuogu veteran left by Shizong. He suddenly remembered another Tuogu minister Yelulu who was purged two years ago. Although this person died, he gave his infant son a rebellious name - Yelv Chu material.It is said that the name Yelu Chucai comes from the phrase "Although Chu is talented, Jin is practical for it", but it does not mean "Although Chu has three households, Chu will die in Qin Dynasty". It is hard to say whether this Yelu tribe has evil intentions.

But at this time, literati were very popular with the Jurchen nobles, and the Jurchen were still not happy to kill people with words, so they could not judge the Yelu tribe based on this.

Wan Yanxiang came out of the squad and said: "What is the situation of the Yelu clan, it is not appropriate to jump to conclusions, it is better to let the patriarch go up to the court to defend himself."

Yelu Ahai was afraid that everyone would stare at the Yelu tribe, so he hurriedly said, "Since the assassin escaped by boat from the Bohai Sea, all the tribes in the Bohai Sea are the most suspicious, so they should be investigated together."

This made a lot of sense, both Wanyan Chengyu and Hu Shahu wanted to take the blame, as long as they were not responsible for it, they would support Yelu Ahai regardless of whether they were from the Yelu clan or the Bohai clan.

Soon, the group of savages in strange clothes were brought up. It turned out that these people were the chiefs of the local indigenous tribes such as the Bohai tribe and the Yelu tribe.

The rulers of the Jin Dynasty have always seen intermarriage among the three major tribes of Wanyan, Wulinda, and Tudan, as well as the Bohai tribe. The gold masters of all dynasties have always regarded Jurchen and Bohai as one family. His mother was the Li family of Bohai, and Wanyan Jing and his uncles were of Han blood, so Jin Guo claimed to be Han and denounced the Southern Song Dynasty as barbarians, which is based on blood origin.

Therefore, among these tribal chiefs, the most vulnerable is the Yelu tribe.

Wanyan Chengyu was the first to criticize the Yelu family, "Brother Yeluliu, are you guilty of assassins appearing on your territory?"

A strong man wearing a big cotton cap hurriedly knelt down and argued: "Dading Mansion is a place extending in all directions, and there is a special officer guarding the pass and crossing.

Wanyan Chengyu is still waiting to be convicted, Wanyanxiang said: "Your Majesty will go north to hunt in the territory of the Yelu Ministry, can you guarantee safety in the territory of the Yelu Ministry?"

Brother Yeluliu didn't dare to say no, but he didn't dare to talk too much, he just said: "As long as the Lord Lang sets out the hunting rules, I guarantee that no one in Yelu Department will go beyond the rules."

These words are watertight, but they can't find any problems. The Yelu tribe only guarantees that they are fine. If something happens, it is your army's problem.

There is no evidence, and things are stuck here.

The assassin escaped in the territory of the Bohai tribe, so Hu Shahu naturally wanted to bite the Bohai tribe, "The assassin escaped by boat from the seaside last night, and the Bohai tribe wants to give me an explanation."

The Bohai people are not easy to provoke, and immediately the chief touched Hu Shahu directly, "How do you act as a guard? Assassins come and go in and out of your defense line. If you can't catch them, blame me?"

"Do you know how many thousands of miles the coastline is? If you want us to take care of it, spend the navy and military expenses to ensure that there are no assassins."

"It's because you, Hu Shahu, are incompetent, so you can't let me come."

"Little Huzi, your wings are hardened, are you coming home to show your prestige?"

"..."

Hu Shahu also bullied ordinary people in Zhongdu. When he arrived at the Jurchen base camp, the Jurchen and the Bohai chief didn't take him seriously, and was trained so that his face turned red and he couldn't make a sound.

The navy mentioned by the Bohai people has long been defeated by Wan Yanliang, which reminds the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Jin that the loopholes in coastal defense must be filled, but the Bohai Sea is too big, and it will cost too much to patrol and block it all. Even if only the coastline is blocked, it will cost a lot of money.

Emperor Jin was afraid of mentioning money now. Seeing that the matter was at an impasse, he interrupted: "Okay, don't quarrel, this matter is over. When I go back to Beijing Chunshui every year, hunting is still second, and the most important thing is to investigate. How is the construction of civilized tribes in various places?"

The Ministry of Yelu has been waiting for this topic for a long time, and immediately said: "Since His Majesty promulgated the health and epidemic prevention regulations last year, all tribes have strictly implemented them, and there has been no epidemic for more than half a year, and all tribes have taken on a new look inside and out.

I heard that a lot of banknotes have been issued this year to support workshops and farms, but most of the Yelu Department are small and micro workshops, and they all said that they have not seen this money. No shadow, please Your Majesty to uphold justice for us. "

It's money again, Jindi only feels that his brain hurts, so many banknotes are issued every year, and everyone has a good reason to ask for money, well, I want to throw the pot away, "Prime Minister Zuo, you are in charge of money and food, this problem is up to you answer."

Wan Yanxiang said: "Last year, there were floods and droughts everywhere, and there was not enough money and food. The Yelu Department can't wait for it. Don't always think about waiting for funding before starting work. Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. We must strive to become bigger and stronger, and win the competition to find money. .

Yelu Department has high quality and strong ability. I am very optimistic about you. Don't be discouraged. I believe that with your unremitting efforts, there will be money and bread. "

Yeluliuge said: "Our tribe's taxes are too heavy, and we can't afford to raise our children. There are rumors that someone drowned a baby."

Emperor Jin was furious when he heard the words: "These people are devoid of conscience, and they will punish them severely when they find drowning babies."

Brother Yeluliu said with a mournful face, "But the tribe really doesn't have enough food."

Wanyan Chengyu scolded angrily: "Nonsense, how can there be people without food in the peaceful and prosperous times, these people must be lazy ghosts, they deserve to starve to death."
