() Wu Qimai was wise and wanted to leave the throne to his son. He was not unaware that this idea of ​​breaking the Jurchen tradition would deeply touch the sensitive nerves of the conservative Jurchen nobles. But as a father, he would still firmly follow his wishes.

Wanyan Gao was originally the Anbanbojilie, the next candidate for the Jurchen emperor, who was introduced by the nobles. His greatest wish was of course to sit in that position, so when he learned that he had no hope of that position and might be in danger of his life at any time, the anger in his heart can be imagined.

From the last time he returned from the Central Plains, when he was under house arrest by Wu Qimai on this excuse, he knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to kill Wu Qimai. However, as the emperor and the highest ruler of the Jurchens, Wu Qimai was not comparable to his strength and reputation.

what to do?

Wanyan Gao, who was unwilling to be appointed, pretended to be obedient, and secretly turned his eyes to Wu Qimai.

By chance, he learned that one of Wu Qimai’s most trusted strategists, Gao Qingyi was dissatisfied with Wu Qimai because of his rival's love, and began to act with reason and know how to benefit. In this way, he took Gao Qingyi, a capricious villain, in a very short time, becoming the most secret piece he had beside Wu Qimai...

Since there is a change of master, we have to plan for the new master in order to get the best interests for ourselves. So after this scum among the Han people, the two Japanese devils among the Jurchens, citing classics, finally thought of the classic case of usurping the throne when the Northern Song Dynasty was founded, which was called the mystery of the eternal mystery.

The biggest feature of "candlelight, axe shadow" is that it does not require the use of a large army or creates any momentum, so as to achieve the purpose of usurping the throne without knowing it.

Wu Qimai has not yet established a crown prince, so once he dies, the great throne should be the one who is familiar with Banboji Lie Wanyan Gao.

Once this plan was proposed, it was immediately praised by Wanyan Gao and began to implement it.

If you are a human, you have shortcomings and needs, so with the help of Gao Qingyi, Wanyan Gao managed to get the leader and eunuch beside Wu Qimai without much effort.

After all the preparations were completed, this Jin Dynasty version of the "Candlelight Axe Shadow" was created.

Wu Qimai died, but died silently and unknown. Then, with the help of the leader eunuch and Gao Qingyi, Wanyan Gao secretly left the palace, as if he had been there.

The next thing is much simpler. When the emperor passed away, his sons were still young and had no ability to turn the tables. Although my father died suddenly, my father had been ill recently and seemed to be a sudden death, so they could only bury his suspicion in their hearts.

Although the ministers also doubted, what's the use of doubt? The Jurchens had a Jurchen system, that the country could not be ruled out, and other things must be discussed later. Therefore, the ministers supported Anbanbojiliwanyan Gao to succeed the throne in front of Wu Qipeng's body.

Wanyan Gao has always been hiding very well, so although the ministers were suspicious, they never thought it would be his own hands?

Wanyan Gao, who fulfilled his long-cherished wish, did not immediately show his fangs. The first decree was to execute all the imperial physicians and palace maids and eunuchs who served Wu Qimai. The charge was that they neglected the emperor's condition and led to the emperor's premature death.

The eunuch leader was promoted to the harem chief, and Gao Qingyi was admitted to the Privy Council. In addition, the garrison in Zhongdu was also adjusted, and his former subordinates were transferred to Zhongdu, while the generals loyal to Wu Qimai were transferred from Jingji under various names.

After arranging these, Wanyan Gao issued an order to hold a state funeral for Wu Qimai.

Is it over? Of course not.

Wu Qimai's sons are still young and do not have a deep understanding of Yin's tricks. His harem also lacks the person in charge. Apart from lamenting the pain of life and worrying about his future situation, he has no idea what to do.

But some people don’t think so. This person is Wanyan Baokang, because he was also in the palace. Especially after recalling the strange scene he encountered in the palace that day, he knew that the emperor’s death was definitely not that simple.

Wanyan Baokang's father was Wanyan Zonghan, so although Gao Qingyi had the idea of ​​killing Wanyan Baokang to silence him, he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.

Wanyan Baokang is not a child, so he can certainly feel the threat from Emperor Wanyan Gao.

The emperor died, and as a minister, he needed to worship the vigil every day. However, the next day, Wanyan Baokang said he was sick.

How could my son not go to keep a guard for the late emperor? After receiving the news, Wanyan Zonghan came to find his son directly after paying homage to Wu Qibu.

Wanyan Baokang refused to go to the palace. One reason was that he was afraid of danger, and the other reason was that he wanted to find his father so that the two of them could hide their words.

When he arrived at the place where his son lived, Wanyan Zonghan frowned. Before he could ask, he saw that his son sent all his subordinates out, then jumped up and closed the doors and windows, and then he came to him solemnly.

"Ama save me"

Time is tight, and Wanyan Gao may send someone to summon him to the palace at any time, so Wanyan Baokang told his father what he saw and heard in full.

After hearing his son's words, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but gasp. He had also suspected the cause of the emperor's death, but he had not thought to Wanyan Gao at all that if everything was true as his son said, his son would be in real danger.

Wanyan Zonghan was also idle at home because of his defeat in the Central Plains, but he had helped Wu Qimai at a critical moment, so he was still a saint's family. So he was also a cunning figure.

He pondered for a moment and said, "What are my son's plans?"

"Ar planned to go to the Central Plains to find Ke'er's sister, and ask Song Qing to send troops to avenge the emperor's uncle."

Wanyan Baokang's eyes were shining with hatred. Wu Qimai treated him like a son, and he had always been intimate with Ke'er's siblings. If this matter was kept silent, his conscience would not be able to be overcome.

Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but be stunned. According to his idea, he was to send his son to the army of his former subordinates. With the protection of the army, Wanyan Gao would not dare to do it easily.

However, after his son said this, he also realized that his son hid in the army, could he escape the first day of the first day and the fifteenth day? But if he asked his son to lead Liangshan men to attack his country, it seemed a bit unreasonable.

Just as hesitated, he suddenly heard from his servants that when His Majesty heard that the young prince was infected, he specially sent an imperial physician to treat the young prince.

“Ama…”

Wanyan Baokang pulled his father's sleeve with a pleading look on his face.

Between family affection and loyalty, Wanyan Zonghan finally chose family affection.

He said in a deep voice: "Wanyan Loushi's men are still outside the city. Ama immediately sends someone to send you out of the city, but you still have to wait there first. Ama finds a way to get one of the sons of the late emperor, so that our family can be worthy of the late emperor."

Wanyan Zonghan's military style was done as soon as possible. While ordering people to stabilize the imperial doctor, he disguised his son and escorted his confidant family out of the city.

Then he went to send the imperial doctor away by himself, and went to the palace to explain to Wanyan Gao.

In fact, Wanyan Gao did not think that Wanyan Baokang could pose any threat to him, and Wanyan Zonghan did not give it to him for nothing. If Wanyan Zonghan touched his son Wanyan Baokang, would it be strange if Wanyan Zonghan was willing to give up?

However, Wanyan Gao also agreed with Gao Qingyi's statement of killing people and killing them. If you want to stabilize this position, you must eliminate all hidden dangers.

As the saying goes, the Tian family has no affection. Now it is Wanyan Baokang, and the next one is Wu Qimai's children. Anyone who can threaten their status will be eliminated.

Without waiting for the news of the imperial doctor, Wanyan Zongwang came, and a bad feeling suddenly surged in Wanyan Gao's heart. However, he didn't know what the problem was, so he ordered someone to pass on Wanyan Zonghan's visit.

It turned out that the two met with each other and were regarded as brothers. Now they suddenly became kings and ministers. Both of them were inevitably a little strange in their hearts, but fortunately this was not the first time they met.

Wanyan Zonghan was about to greet Wanyan Gao, but was grabbed by Wanyan Gao.

"My brother, now there are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite. I heard that Kang'er is sick? I wonder if it's better?"

Wanyan Gao said hypocritically while pulling Wanyan Zonghan to sit down.

Wanyan Zonghan cursed the hypocrite in his heart, but he had to say with fear and fear: "I am here to apologize to Your Majesty for the sake of the dog son."

"Oh! What's wrong with Kang'er? He is no longer a child. Why is it that Brother Wang still working to apologize for him?"

"Oh! It's a misfortune! Why did I get such a worry-free son? Your Majesty doesn't know, and who told the beast that it's suitable for bear hunting this season, so he carried me on his back and slipped away from home early in the morning. I just received the letter. Now I have sent someone to find it outside the city. When the beast is retrieved, I will definitely break his legs and see if he dares to run around?"

The old fox Wanyan Zonghan also said that he was full of emotion and looked like he was disappointed.

It turns out that Wanyan Baokang is not at home, and Wanyan Gao has long heard of Wanyan Baokang's reputation as a playboy, so it seems that nothing wrong with Wanyan Zonghan's words.

Wanyan Gao still wants to win over Wanyan Zonghan, a veteran general in the army.

He smiled and said, "I'm not a big deal. When he comes back, he's going to teach you well. Don't punish him too much. Well, I'll see a few tribe leaders, so I won't keep you."

"Old minister obeys the order"

Wanyan Zonghan secretly wiped the sweat, then bowed and retreated.

Looking at Wanyan Zonghan's back, Wanyan Gao's eyes were instantly covered with haze and he patted his palms gently. Gao Qingyi flashed out from behind like a ghost.

"Send someone to monitor his mansion, Wanyan Baokang will come back and immediately pass it into the palace."

"Slaves receive the order"

Gao Qingyi still looked like that, but when he saw the emperor, he changed his words and called him a slave. Of course, he could not see the murderous intent in Wanyan Gao's eyes, but he didn't know who the murderous intent was for?

Wanyan Gao has too many facts to do now. Just now, a group of Jurchen nobles came to worship Wu Qimai, and he was about to take this opportunity to contact them.

Just as Wanyan Gao had a short time to talk to these Jurchen nobles, he suddenly saw Gao Qingyi coming back with a serious look on his face.

Because there was an outsider present, Wanyan Gao couldn't ask, but Gao Qingyi could no longer wait. He quickly walked to him and said a few words in a low voice that only the two could hear.
