Chapter 61 The Broken Wheel of History Turns Quietly

Thank you for the rewards of two children's boots, Feidu and Tianzhi Donghuang...

There is also the most elite Western Army led by Tong Guan, who was beaten by the Jurchens and beaten by the remnants of the Liao Kingdom... It was extremely dirty. Wen Fei would never repeat the same mistake!

Seeing Wen Fei laughing loudly, Ma Zhi was a little confused. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Fei laughed and said, "Do you believe in history? Is there any necessity?"

Ma Zhi didn't even understand what Wen Fei meant. He looked at Shang's father in confusion, but saw Wen Fei laughing and shouted: "Come on, give him a seat!"

Ma Zhi's heart was put back into his stomach. No matter what nerves this father had just gotten, he was obviously interested in his advice.

"What do you think of those Jurchens?" Wen Fei asked.

"Those Jurchens are extremely fierce, especially the Jurchens who gave birth to them are even more fierce, just like savages. But even the Khitan warriors dare not fight with these Jurchens.

They live in the mountains covered with dense forests between the white mountains and black waters. They live by fishing and hunting, and pay tribute to the Emperor of the Great Liao every year, including horses, sea east green, gold and pearls, honey, pine seeds and ginseng." Ma Zhi briefly introduced the situation of the Jurchens.

He was also afraid that Wen Fei would underestimate these Jurchens, and said, "The Liao Kingdom is now in chaos in the government, Emperor Tianzuo is incompetent, and the Liao court kept asking for tribute and desperately exploiting those Jurchens. Not long ago, the Jurchens had decided to rebel against the Liao Kingdom!"

Every spring, the river water that is in the same river melts, and the emperor of the Liao Kingdom will come to the river to chisel ice and fish, and hunt for hunting. It is called "spring water".

The chiefs of the Jurchen tribes of thousands of miles apart also came to pay homage to the Emperor of Liao. They paid tribute to the property of each tribe and showed off their magnitude and importance. This kind of competition is called "fighting the Jurchens".

This year, Emperor Tianzuo was stationed in Chunzhou, and Wanyan's tribe sent Aguda to lead a pilgrimage group to Chunzhou, which happened to be a "headfish banquet".

After the Emperor of Liao caught the first fish in the Huntong River, he solemnly used it to worship the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestors, and held a banquet to celebrate. This is the "headfish banquet".

At the banquet, everyone gathered to drink, and Emperor Tianzuo took advantage of the wine to cheer and dance. The chiefs of various tribes followed the orders and danced to cheer the emperor up.

When it was Aguda's turn, Aguda was unwilling to suffer such humiliation and refused to obey orders, which almost sent someone to kill Aguda.

Aguda escaped from the heavens and hated the Emperor of Liao very much. After fleeing back to the tribe, the Jurchen tribes had famine and hunger all over the world, and the strong were robbed. Aguda ordered the Jurchen tribes to "not fight for three years", which was like the arrival of Ganyu. The Jurchen people supported them very much and surrendered to Wanyan tribes. Now the Wanyan tribe has become the strongest tribe among the Jurchen people, and even wanted to kill Emperor Tianzuo to avenge this humiliating revenge!

Wen Fei was silent. Of course, Wen Fei had already read this story in later generations. However, the words from this key figure who leveraged history made Wen Fei feel a lot.

No matter what, even if the Jurchens destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, they were naturally hostile to Wen Da Shangfu. But Wen Fei had to admit that Wanyan Aguda was a real hero. He was simply the protagonist template in online novels!

An emperor from a small tribe with only more than a thousand people who were almost barbarians, who refused to be humiliated by a powerful empire with millions of cavalry, rose up in anger until he destroyed such a powerful empire...

Therefore, the truth is actually more absurd than any imagination. And even if you look through the history books, you can't find a few. Even if you are in a hostile position, Wen Fei has to admire it!

The situation in Liao Kingdom was much worse than what the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty imagined. Ma Zhi continued: "Emperor Tianzuo was the most powerful monarch since the Liao Kingdom met. He trusted Xiao Fengxian and Xiao Delidi and other slandered ministers. He just hunted, lived a debauchery, ignored the country's affairs, and was addicted to alcohol and sound, and was fragile. He rejected loyal and good people, and appointed a group of people's lives. He was harsh in politics. This led to the intensification of the struggle between the royal family and nobles, and the people's uprising one after another, and the leaders of various tribes also raised their troops to fight against Liao. It was already the doomsday!"

He also said: "Now the Liao Dynasty is in a state of turmoil, it is impossible to raise an army to support Xixia, and it is even more impossible to attack the Song Dynasty. Mr. Ouyang's visit this time was just a false intimidation!"

Wen Fei thought about it and said, "You will talk about these things later. I will take you to the official family!"

Ma Zhi was surprised and happy and said, "I dare not ask for anything I wish!"

Wen Fei took Ma Zhi directly into the palace. Although Ma Zhi knew that Wen Fei was in the Song Dynasty, he saw that Wen Fei was in a loud and arrogant state without any notice. He took a stranger all the way to the deep palace, and was unobstructed. He couldn't help but feel shocked. He thought to himself that this father Shang was probably so high in the Song Dynasty, and he was still beyond the land imagination!

When he saw Zhao Ji, Ma Zhi said the matter again. Zhao Ji was immediately overjoyed and laughed to the sky, saying, "It's really God helping me! Father Shang, I have hope of making a living this time!"

Wen Fei thought to himself, I'm afraid you would never think that the Jurchens were your real enemy. But this was naturally not said in front of Ma Zhi. He smiled and said, "The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was intimidating, but in fact he could not send troops at all. We don't have to pay attention to him, destroy Xixia first!"

Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly, agreeing deeply. He said to Ma Zhi: "I think you are loyal to your hometown. Since that's the case, don't know the Liao Kingdom and stay in the Song Dynasty. I give you the surname Zhao, well, just call Zhao Liangsi! I have appointed you as Zhilongtu Pavilion and added the editor of Youwen Hall. When the achievements are completed in the future, you will still be rewarded!"

Ma Zhi was immediately moved and thanked him, saying, "The emperor's great kindness made me cry. However, my use of the Liao Kingdom is much stronger than that in the Song Dynasty. Today, Emperor Zuo ignored the government and was confused. Yanyun and other places are all the homelands of my Han family, and there are many people who care about my homeland like me. I am willing to go back and contact these Han men to help the royal army!"

Zhao Ji was immediately moved and said, "Okay, okay. When you go back, you must pay attention to safety. Tell those Han men that what Shang father said and those who make good fortune for our Han family will be able to be immortals and gods in the future. As long as you vote for my Song Dynasty, I will not be stingy with official positions or even be awarded titles!"

Ma Zhi said, "I will definitely bring your Majesty's words!" He was rewarded by Zhao Ji and then said goodbye.

Zhao Ji laughed: "Father Shang, God really helped me this time. I didn't expect that Emperor Tianzuo of Liao was such a foolish monarch, and his country was in such chaos. He even dared to send someone to threaten me. I must build a house for him in Tokyo and invite him to live sooner or later!"

You are really a flashlight, only illuminating others, not yourself. When it comes to being stupid, you two are almost no different. Don’t talk about the second one…

However, people are often like this. Although Wen Fei knew that Zhao Ji was a famous and stupid king of the country. However, the two were close, Zhao Ji could also be said to believe in himself wholeheartedly. So Wen Fei knew that this guy was a fool, but he couldn't raise any evil feelings. This was like many people who did everything they wanted, but in the eyes of family and friends, he was a good person...

In Wen Fei's eyes, Zhao Ji was not qualified to be an emperor, but as a friend, it was the most suitable. If you really want to have a wise and powerful emperor in this position, you may not trust yourself so wholeheartedly!

Forget it, this foolish monarch is a fool! As long as he doesn't hinder his actions from changing history, he should really get closer to Prince Yun Zhao Kai and become a future emperor...

Anyway, Prince Zhao Heng, Wen Fei had already made up his mind to find an opportunity and would definitely pull him off the throne of the prince!

"Yes, when will the Martyrs' Temple be built as Shang's father said? I will go and serve in person!" Zhao Ji said. He looked at the sky again and said, "It has not rained for two or three months. I see that spring plowing is about to happen. If it doesn't rain, I'm afraid there will be a drought this year!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji felt a little depressed. He ignored political affairs, but he still knew clearly how serious the drought would have on his empire!

"Your senior brother Mr. Lin asked for rain several times but failed! If you can't ask for rain again, it would be a little bad!" Zhao Ji said.

Speaking of this topic, Wen Fei didn't dare to answer. Lin Lingsu asked for the rain, but he had no choice but to say, "When it comes to my Senior Brother Lin, he has taken too many disciples now, and some of them are committing evil and corrupting my reputation in Taoism. If the official has the opportunity, it's better to help me manage it!"

Zhao Ji didn't care at all and said, "When my Taoism is now expanding, it is naturally a bit muddy and sandy, and it's not a big deal. Shangfu saw that there were all loyal and treacherous ministers in my court. For example, Cai Jing was very arrogant and extravagant. Not to mention that Cai Jing moved his house last time, he would open the Yanfu Palace Jiang Road and cross the city to make the Fudao Main Bridge (i.e., the sky bridge) house to facilitate the exchanges. For this reason, dozens of houses were forced to be destroyed."

This was the first time Wen Fei heard these things, and he was shocked. He didn't expect that he would not force the demolition of the residents and used Cai Jing's mansion. However, he did not expect that this guy would demolish dozens of families and build his new mansion in a blink of an eye...

Zhao Ji commented on the ministers around him one by one: "Is there a sense of Tong Guan's fame too much, but can't I understand? After all, he is a eunuch and cannot win his wife and son. It's good to ask for a name in history... There are also many court officials, all of whom are corrupt and abuse of power. But there is no way, I have to rely on these people to govern the world. I only take their big qualities, and minor problems are inevitable. Shangfu doesn't have to seek too much!"

Wen Fei was even more surprised. Sure enough, Zhao Ji had been an emperor for so long, but it was not in vain. He also knew the court officials so much, not as incompetent as outsiders thought. No wonder, in history, Song Huizong Zhao Ji had been waiting for the Emperor Taiping for twenty or thirty years, and the government affairs were always under his control.

If I were really countless in my heart, I was afraid that the people below would have played with them in my palms long ago... (To be continued...)
