Chapter 291 - Huining Mansion
The Huining Mansion was probably located in the Harbin area of the later generations.
Wan Yanchang kept on walking as he headed towards East Liao Area. Actually, he did not like Huining Mansion very much, because Huining Mansion was simply too run-down, and could not even compare to East Liao Area City.
Although the Huining Mansion was the capital of the Nvzhen, it had only risen in power for more than ten years. Ten years ago, the Huining Mansion was just a woman's tribe like a small village. In just ten years, how much could that place have changed?
Although the palace was constructed after the true emperor, Wan Yanwuqimai, ascended to the throne, it only changed the central position of the Huining Mansion, the borders of the Huining Mansion still looked like a dilapidated village.
Ten days later, Wan Yanchang and his group finally arrived in front of the Huining Mansion.
He was about to move on when a group of cavalry appeared in the distance and he stopped.
The group of cavalry soldiers were extremely fast, and after a while, they arrived in front of them.
"So, it's a Constellation Spell!" Wan Yanchang laughed and spurred his horse forward.
"Uncle!" The one who came over was Jin Wushu, at that moment, Jin Wushu also came over, he only cupped his hands and said indifferently.
"You're here to visit the court as well?" Wan Yanchang said.
"The matter of annihilating the Song Dynasty is of great importance. I naturally have to participate in this court meeting." Jin Wushu said.
"Then let's enter the city together." Wan Yanchang said.
Jin Wushu nodded.
Until now, the expression on Jin Wushu's face was still cold and detached. He was the famous main fighting faction of the Jinguo, while Wan Yanchang was the famous main fighting faction of the Jinguo. The two of them had different political views, even though they were uncles, it was impossible for them to be close to each other.
The age of the cities in Huining Mansion was very small, after arriving here, Wan Yanchang frowned, Jin Wushu also frowned.
"This Huining Mansion is too shabby. Your Majesty should move to the Yan Jing City!" Wan Yanchang said.
"His Majesty said that he grew up here. He was already used to this place, so he was unwilling to move to another city." Jin Wushu said.
"You should advise His Majesty!" Wan Yanchang said.
"Humph!" I just want to destroy Song Dynasty and take over the entire world! After occupying the entire world, I will naturally advise your majesty to move to another city! " Jin Wushu said coldly.
Hearing Jin Wushu's words, Wan Yanchang laughed and ignored him. He was much older than Jin Wushu and would not lower himself to the same level as him.
They passed through the Huining Mansion City and arrived in front of the Jinguo's Imperial Palace.
The so called Jinguo Imperial Palace was much worse than the Shang Jing Palace, Zhongjing Palace, and Yanjing Imperial Palace. Compared to the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace that was opened previously, the difference was too great. Perhaps, only Zhao Chen's imperial palace was not as large as the Huining Mansion's imperial palace in front of him. However, Zhao Chen's imperial palace was built by the Han Dynasty's kings, so it was much more exquisite than the Huining Mansion's imperial palace in front of him! The Chinese civilization far surpassed the Nvzhen, and this included architectural civilization.
When the two of them reached the imperial palace, someone immediately went to notify the Jinguo's Emperor, Wan Yanwuqimai.
Wan Yanwuqimai then notified the other important officials of the Huining Mansion, and called all of them to pay respects to Ji.
It was only in the afternoon that the morning ceremony officially began.
Wan Yanwuqimai sat on the golden seat and looked at the ministers below.
Not long after the Jinguo was established, they still maintained the etiquette of a primitive society. To a certain extent, Wan Yanwuqimai was equivalent to the "leader of the tribe", and the ministers below may not even have much respect for him. According to the records, because Wan Yanwuqimai made a mistake, Wanyan Zonghan even pulled him down from the golden seat, allowing others to reprimand him. Compared to the emperor of the Central Plains, he was much weaker.
Amongst the ministers sitting below, the most important one was undoubtedly Wanyan Zonghan! He was Wan Yanaguda's left and right hands back then, and had assisted Wan Yanaguda in setting down the Thousand Mile River Mountain! After the Kaifeng City was broken, he had returned to the Huining Mansion, all the way until now!
Other than Wanyan Zonghan, there was also a thirty year old middle-aged man who had an extremely high status! He is Wan Yanwuqimai's son, Wan Yanzongpan, and is currently the Prime Minister of the Dajin!
Another twelve to thirteen year old youth sat behind him. This youth looked extremely young, with dull eyes, but he was the first grandson of the great Ancestor of the Jin Tai Zu, Wan Yanaguda! Wan Yanaguda's eldest son, Wan Yanzong, had died in the battle of Liao, and this youth was Wan Yanzong's son, Wan Yandan!
According to the traditions of the Nvzhen, after Wan Yanaguda died, the Emperor's position was passed down to his younger brother, Wan Yanwuqimai. And after Wan Yanwuqimai's death, the throne would once again return to Wan Yanaguda's grandson. Amongst the descendants of Wan Yanaguda, the most qualified one to inherit the throne was this Wan Yandan. This Wan Yandan was also the historical Jin Xi Sect. He had a weak personality and was constantly in a temperamental mood. In history, he had been killed by Wan Yanzonggan's son Wan Yanliang, while Wan Yanliang was the overlord of his generation.
Other than them, there were also Wan Yanchang and Wan Yanzongbi, and their statuses were also very high.
"Today, I summoned you all here to discuss the matter of annihilating the Song Dynasty! Zong Han, your battle achievements are peerless, when the Great Ancestor was still alive he was also unusually praising you, but none of our Dajin s could compare to you, so you are still required to take charge of this matter of exterminating the Song. " Wan Yanwuqimai looked at Wanyan Zonghan and said.
"Humph!" Our Dajin has an army of two hundred thousand in the Central Plains. In these two years, we have gathered another three hundred thousand New Dependencies and seventy thousand barbarians! Adding on the more than one million men and horses that Jiang-Nan Zhao Gou has used, we still have Liu Yu's three hundred thousand strong army! There was no problem at all for the army to destroy the Song Dynasty! I don't think I need to preside over it! Just by looking for someone, he would be able to destroy Song Dynasty! " Wanyan Zonghan coldly snorted, and said.
From Wanyan Zonghan's point of view, Wan Yanwuqimai definitely wanted him to be transferred out of Huining Mansion, so that he could truly control the power within the palace. This was something Wanyan Zonghan definitely did not wish to see!
Right now, the Dajin mainly consisted of three factions. One of them was Wanyan Zonghan, one was Jin Taizu, Wan Yanaguda and her descendants, Wan Yanzongbi, Wan Yandan and the others, the other was a sect led by the Jinguo Emperor, Wan Yanwuqimai. Wanyan Zonghan was extremely strong, so he had to guard the Huining Mansion to ensure that his own faction's power grew stronger and stronger! However, it was true that he did not put Zhao Chen in his eyes. In his mind, if these huge army were to attack Guan Shan together, the only thing that awaited Guan Shan was death!
"Since Zong Han is unwilling to go, I think this way, Tad, you will become the left flank commander-in-chief, command 30,000 barbarians and 150,000 New Dependencies to enter the Central Plains. You will be the right flank commander-in-chief, lead 40,000 barbarians and 150,000 New Dependencies to the west flank to the west flank to enter the Guan Shan from the south of the west flank! If Zong Wang is the Marshal of the Central Army, then you will all be controlled by the Zong Wang! " Wan Yanwuqimai said.
Ta Sheng was Wan Yanchang's childhood nickname. Immediately, Wan Yanchang nodded, and Jin Wushu also nodded his head.
"Your Majesty, after taking down the Guan Shan, should we continue to march into Jiangnan and obtain the entire world?" After a while, Jin Wushu suddenly said.
"This... I don't think there's a need for that, right? "There are a lot of troops in Jiangnan as well. If we go down south, we will lose a lot!" Wan Yanwuqimai said.
"Your Majesty, our troops are at their peak. If we go south, we can obtain Jiangnan in one fell swoop!" Jin Wushu said.
"I think we should forget about it!" Zhao Gou has already reached an agreement with us, he said that the southerners will return to the south, and the northerners will return to the north. The reason we are attacking the Guan Shan is because the little emperor of the Guan Shan is glaring at us like a tiger. Wan Yanchang said.
"I also feel that there is no need to continue heading south! All these years, there have been a lot of deaths and injuries among our female officials. The real Prime Minister, Wan Yanwuqimai's son, Wan Yanzongpan said.
"I think we should give it a try! "Maybe we can take down Jiangnan in one fell swoop and completely eliminate all of the Han people!" Wanyan Zonghan said again.
The Peace Faction and War Faction of the Jinguo were in a dispute here, and not even two hours were fixed on their conclusion.
Wan Yanwuqimai, Wanyan Zonghan, Jin Wushu and the rest all insisted on their own that they do not want to back down. In the end, Wan Yanwuqimai asked them to put this matter to the side temporarily.
"Emperor, there's one more thing to discuss today." Seeing that the discussion on the matter of the extermination of Song was complete, Wanyan Zonghan suddenly spoke again.
"Oh? May I know what is it? " Wan Yanwuqimai said.
He had a lot of reservations towards Wanyan Zonghan, but when he saw the cold smile on Wanyan Zonghan's face, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"His Majesty has succeeded the throne for so many years. It should be time for the title of crown prince to be confirmed!" Wanyan Zonghan said coldly.
"Crown Prince position?" Wan Yanwuqimai frowned.
He wanted to pass it down to his own sons, Wan Yanzongpan, but he was afraid that Wan Yanaguda's sons would not agree to it, and Wanyan Zonghan would not agree to it too! Logically speaking, he should have passed down the information to Wan Yanaguda's grandson, but he really didn't want to do that!
This time, their discussion lasted even longer. Until late at night, the Imperial Palace was still in an uproar! A few ministers were Wan Yanwuqimai's trusted aides and support, but many more supported Wan Yandan. Some even supported Wanyan Zongwang.
Wan Yanwuqimai was annoyed, he temporarily suppressed the matter and decided to discuss it later.
In the morning of the second day, Wan Yanchang and Jin Wushu began to reorganize their troops, preparing to head south! However, the New Dependencies and the barbarian slave armies that were recruited over the past two years were scattered all over the place. It would take them at least a month to gather here before they could head south!
With regards to this battle, the entire Jinguo was filled with confidence, confident that they would undoubtedly win! Wan Yanwuqimai and Wanyan Zonghan set the battle on the side, and the two of them continued to fight without end! As for Wan Yanchang, Jin Wushu, the two of them did not put Zhao Chen in their eyes either. They only waited for the army to finish gathering and then lead the army south into the Guan Shan, where they would annihilate Song.
In the Hebei area, Hebei chieftain of the allied army Liu Ze was also gathering a large army, preparing to lead the large army westward into Guan Shan.
At this point of time, there were already over a dozen troops from the allied army leading over sixty thousand men to Liu Ze's Sand River Stronghold.
With the snow falling heavily, Liu Ze brought over a dozen of chieftain of the allied army s to his village to discuss about the important matters.
"Fellow brothers, I, Liu Ze, have already accepted Emperor Jianyan's invitation, and have been conferred the title of Hebei Province! When the Emperor Jianyan gave the order, all the brothers gave their rewards as well! " Liu Ze was around forty years old, had a short stature and an extremely dark complexion.
After Liu Ze finished speaking, the chieftain of the allied army s below started to discuss.
"Big leader, why did you join the Emperor Jianyan?" Just then, a muscular man stood up and asked fiercely.
He saw the big man stand up.
The room immediately quieted down.
