Yin Linna remembered that that night, Aksukh came and told her husband John II that he had bribed the monks in the monastery and could enter through the secret passage and get close to Alexius I, who was isolated from the inside and outside by his mother-in-law, Queen Irina.
The husband hesitated for a while and then quickly made up his mind. He took his confidants and his younger brother Yinsak Komnenos, who was also the deputy emperor, and led Aksukh through a secret passage into his father-in-law's bedroom in the monastery.
.
There, the husband received the signet ring symbolizing the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire from his father-in-law, and received the edict of succession that had been written long ago.
The husband and his party sneaked out of the monastery again, used the emperor's signet ring, and issued an order to summon the new army he had built into Constantinople.
At dawn the next day, my husband entered Constantinople surrounded by new troops, read the father-in-law's edict to the people, and received an enthusiastic response. Then the team marched to the Holy Mountain Palace and Hagia Sophia.
Under the order of her mother-in-law Irina, the palace guard refused to allow her husband to enter the Holy Mountain Palace. Two daring officers even attempted to assassinate Aksukh. The new army, with the support of the angry people, killed the two officers and annihilated the palace.
The Guards, controlled the Holy Mountain Palace, Hagia Sophia and Constantinople.
Yin Linna remembered that her father-in-law passed away that night, and her husband personally carried his coffin to Hagia Sophia and held a grand funeral.
Then the husband was officially crowned Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, and his first order was to appoint John Aksuhe as Grand Commander, the commander of all the armies of the Eastern Roman Empire.
In the following year, Aksukh helped her husband place the confidants from the Liziying and Guanziying into the Guards and the regular army. After stabilizing the morale of the army, he began to carry out military reforms.
Meanwhile, Aksukh foiled two coups.
Her husband's sister, Princess Anna, had never been willing to give in and wanted to help her husband, Little Nikephorus, become emperor of the empire.
Little Nikephoros saw the facts clearly and knew that the situation was over, so he took the initiative to confess to Aksukh.
Yin Linna remembered that when her husband heard the news, he was furious and ordered to deprive her sister Princess Anna of her title, title and all her property, and also rewarded Aksukh with these generous properties.
Aksukh sternly refused, and at the same time persuaded her husband to forgive Princess Anna, recall those strict orders, and return the property. Princess Anna seemed to be no longer struggling, and Queen Mother Irina also went to the monastery to "retire in emeritus."
Aksukh persuaded her husband to reuse little Nikephorus, and at the same time recalled the old ministers who had been reused by his father-in-law but were expelled from the court by the Queen Mother and Princess Anna.
With the help of these people, the husband's rule quickly stabilized.
Yin Linna was lost in thought when the waiter reported: "His Excellency John Aksuhe has arrived."
Aksuhe, also known as Yue Zhuoqun, walked in wearing a Greek-style robe. At this time, he had a thick beard, a dark complexion, and deep wrinkles.
Holding several volumes of documents, he hurried in, glanced at them, and saluted respectfully.
"His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Queen, His Majesty the Prince, and Your Excellency Bella, good afternoon!"
"Okay, John, I just received shocking news from Yin Linna. The Principality of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Rus suffered a defeat in Jiev City."
"Yes, I have just received intelligence one after another. They have suffered an unprecedented defeat."
"So, the greedy and cunning Venetians did not lie?"
"The bloody facts frightened them out of their wits, and they probably no longer knew how to lie. My spies said that thousands of corpses floated down from the Dnieper River along with ice slag. They were temporarily placed at the mouth of the river.
The Venetian people doing business in the port were so frightened that they sailed away overnight and did not even dare to take the goods piled up on the land."
John II said with a gloating smile: "So the Venetians are really scared to death."
Then his face straightened, "The Song Army's movements are still so fast, observant, fast, aggressive and iron-disciplined. They seem to be using them more and more skillfully."
Suddenly, Bella who was sitting aside stood up.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellency, I feel a little unwell and want to go down and rest."
John II looked at him and said politely: "Someone, please send Your Excellency Bella to rest."
When Bella disappeared behind the balcony door, John II said with satisfaction: "This cousin of the Queen is indeed a self-aware person, and I believe he will also be a qualified King of Hungary in the future."
Yin Linna was smiling, and she turned to Aksukh involuntarily. Although the decision was made by her husband, His Majesty the Emperor, the specific matters must be executed by Aksukh.
Aksukh bowed humbly and said with a slight smile: "The King of Hungary is not in a good position right now."
John II thought thoughtfully and nodded, "Well, it is true. Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see. Queen, Bella has been waiting for twelve years, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more years."
Yin Linna remained silent.
John II turned to Aksukh (Yue Zhuoqun) and asked: "My commander-in-chief, tell me quickly what happened in the Battle of Jifu."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Since the spring of 1121, when Jesus came, the Song Army's White Tiger, Xuanwu and Qinglong banner armies have taken turns marching westward. They set out from the area north of the Aral Sea and went straight to the Ural River area, fighting with the barbarian tribes there.
Battle. In the autumn, they captured Bugal, Indiga, Salai and other cities, and surrendered more than 300,000 Bulgars, Polovtsi people, and their troops were directed at the Russians such as Murom, Ryazan and others.
town."
"In the spring of 1122, the Song army, which had been dormant all winter, set out again to launch a stormy attack on the Pechenegs in the northern areas of the Volga River, Don River and Black Sea, as well as the Khazar Khanate in the area north of the Caucasus Mountains."
"In 1123, also last year, the Song army, which rotated a group of banner troops, once again marched westward. Like a fire, they captured and destroyed more than ten cities such as Murom, Ryazan, Suzdal, and Rostov.
Summer surrounded the city of Chernihiv east of Kiev."
"There, the Song army defeated the Russian and Pecheneg coalition forces led by Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh of Kiev. It is said that the Song people built four temples there, each with a
Ten thousand heads..."
Hearing this, Yin Linna screamed and quickly covered the ears of her youngest son Manuel, not wanting him to hear the bloody news.
John II had a serious look on his face, and the temple was a "vulgar custom" of the Song people. He had never understood why such a civilized Song people would resort to such bloody methods.
But after knowing that Khorasan, Silstan, the wilderness north of the Aral Sea, and the Ural and Volga regions quickly surrendered to the Song people's sabers and iron hoofs, he also understood that barbaric methods were more effective in dealing with barbarians.
"John, please continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Monomakh led his troops to flee back to the west bank of the Dnieper River, and ordered all ships and bridges to be burned. The Song people were blocked by the river, so they turned around and headed north to capture Smolensk and Novgorod.
Rhodes and other cities marched their troops back eastward. Monomach thought the Song people were returning eastward and saw winter coming, so he relaxed his vigilance..."
