On November 16, the day after Wan Yanchang quietly asked Yu Wenxuzhong to contact important officials within the Song Dynasty, Wu Shu arrived in Yanjing.

As the real powerful figure in the Jin Dynasty, Wu Shu has been busy grasping administrative power throughout this year in addition to military power.

In Wu Shu's own words: The Kingdom of Jin is now a fragmented mess, with each faction working in its own way, the nobles extravagant and extravagant, and the spirit of the Jurchen Kingdom's founding is slowly disappearing.

It is urgent to rectify the internal affairs.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei arrived in Yanjing, his loyal city, and all the dignitaries of the Xijin Mansion came to pay their respects.

Wu Shu summoned these people at the Yanjing Economics and Strategy Department.

The first thing he did was praise everyone.

From the county magistrates and magistrates in various places to the Yanjing Economic and Strategy Office, Privy Council officials, and military and political officials, they all showed proud smiles under the praise of King Wei.

Including our Wan Yanchang.

This is what he said to Wan Yanchang: "The Duke of Lu made remarkable achievements in rectifying military affairs in Yanjing and made outstanding achievements."

This kind of verbal praise is undoubtedly the attitude of the new person in power towards the Yanyun region.

I mean, don't worry, I won't move anyone or replace anyone. Just work hard and you'll be fine.

If you believe in Wushu, you are really screwed up.

Those who play politics can use the most sincere tone and tell hundreds of different lies in one go.

I can't believe even a single sentence I read.

But the essence of how lies can deceive people is that people like to hear what they like.

For a moment, Wanyanchang thought that Wanyan Wushu was sincerely praising him.

If Wanyanchang hadn't known in advance that Gao Qingyi had begun to be investigated and Wanyan Xiyin had been sidelined, he would really have been deceived by Wushu's gentle and kind words.

However, he was confident that Wu Shu could not affect him for the time being. After all, he still had an elite force in his hands.

Wan Yanchang's speculation is indeed true. The Song and Jin Dynasties are not in a state of peace negotiation, but have entered a stage of confrontation.

In the view of the Jin people, the Song army might launch a northern expedition to Yanyun at any time.

The political pressure within the Jin Kingdom is very high.

In this case, when Wu Shu uses a knife to attack the enemy, the point is not to cut through the mess with a quick knife.

Why was Zhao Ning able to attack internally under the pressure of Jin Guobing's advance south?

Still the same sentence: The essential logic of things is different, so you can’t just look at the surface.

Within the Jin Kingdom, it was the powerful people who were fighting against the centralization of the empire, while inside the Song Dynasty, it was just some civil servants who were fighting against it.

People like Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyanchang had their own pro-army troops who went south in the early years and plundered a lot of wealth privately.

At that time, all the internal systems of the Jin Kingdom were blank, and it was impossible to say that the plunder was returned equally.

Then who would have the motivation to fight?

Moreover, the military and political problems of the Jin Kingdom have not been resolved. The nobles have their own private armies. This cannot be countered by civil servants who just talk nonsense every day.

If Wu Shu captured Wan Yanchang immediately, it might cause a confrontation among the troops under his command. It would also cause the local powerful forces in the Jin Kingdom that once fought against Wu Shu to lose trust in the Jin Kingdom's court and directly defect.

That is unimaginable and may even lead to the split of the Jin Kingdom.

This is also the reason why the Sima family did not dare to trick the Wang family and kill them after they moved south.

This is also the reason why when the imperial system came to the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong Zhao Ji said a word, and Cai Jing, who was in power, had no choice but to pack up and leave.

After meeting everyone, Wu Shu met Wan Yanchang alone.

Wu Shu said: "Gong Lu, I have worked hard in Yanjing for the past two years."

"His Royal Highness, King Wei, is serious in his words. I am just trying my best to contribute my strength to Dajin."

"When King Yan (Wanyan Zongwang) was alive, he often mentioned your talents."

"That is all promoted by His Highness King Yan."

"In the future, Yanjing's military and political affairs will have to rely more on you, Duke of Lu!"

"Thank you, His Highness King Wei, for your trust."

Wu Shu patted Wan Yan Chang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Dai Jin encountered some problems before, and I have also done a lot of reflection. Maybe you are right, we should not use troops against Song Dynasty."

Wan Yanchang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think: Could it be that King Wei was going to negotiate peace with Song Dynasty?

After thinking for a while, Wan Yanchang immediately gave up the idea.

If Wanyan Gao was the first person to destroy the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan was the second hard-line person to destroy the Song Dynasty, then Wanyan Wushu ranked third.

He could have heard the rumor that Gao Qingyi was under investigation.

Gao Qingyi was a member of Zong Han, so Wu Shu would naturally not touch Zong Han directly, but would slowly find excuses to eliminate Zong Han's influence step by step, and wait until the time was right before attacking him with force.

It is estimated that Wu Shu also said what he just said to Zong Han.

Zong Han was a strong military man, and his military strategies and tactics were both superb.

But the political aspect?

I haven’t finished Yanchang’s fun yet.

Wanyanchang immediately knew that Wu Shu was trying to paralyze him. Maybe he had brought people with him when he went south this time. After a while, he began to check the people under him, found this reason, and slowly eliminated them one by one.

"The King of Wei is really the savior of our great empire. Under the rule of King Wei, it will be a matter of time for the Song Kingdom to surrender and surrender."

"Come on, you and I can have a drink."

Wu Shu is not in a hurry. A political strongman like Wu Shu knows very well that he can only act slowly now.

However, Wu Shu did not know that Wan Yanchang had already submitted a certificate of surrender to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Zhao Ning didn't know that after Wu Shu came to power, the Jin Kingdom's external infiltration funds had increased several times.

The ninth year of Jingkang has entered the end of the year. Generally speaking, after the Seventh War between Song and Xia, Xixia became extremely low-key.

The Fifth Song-Jin War, which lasted for eight years during the reign of Jingkang, also brought the two most powerful empires in the East into a brief truce.

Taking advantage of this precious gap, Wanyan Wushu, a powerful figure in the Jin Kingdom, began to rectify the situation internally.

The Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty set their sights on Dali, Nanhai, and the grasslands outside Guan.

On November 20, the ninth year of Jingkang, Wumeng tribe.

Zhang Bangchang rolled up his thick clothes and finally waited for Fan Zongyin.

"Fan Shuai."

"Mr. Zhang."

"Oh no, no, no, I am just a doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette now, how can I dare to call you my husband?"

Fan Zongyin clearly looked down on Zhang Bangchang.

In fact, Zhang Bangchang's reputation is still not good within the Song Dynasty.

When the Jin people surrendered, many ministers wrote to the emperor to kill Zhang Bangchang.

Later, Zhao Ning hoped that Zhang Bangchang would do some hard work and spared his life.

Moreover, during the Huizong era of Song Dynasty, Zhang Bangchang had close contacts with Wang Fu, the traitorous prime minister.

A scholar-official like Fan Zongyin who was truly upright and willing to do practical things would naturally not want to look him in the eye.
