At the request of everyone, Zong Han was forced to temporarily compromise and listen to the imperial edict.

After the chamberlain read the imperial edict, Zong Han became furious on the spot.

The content of this edict is very simple, which is to let Wanyan Zongpan succeed to the throne.

"That's unreasonable! You are clearly forging the edict!"

The queen angrily said: "What do Zhongshu Ling mean by this? Could it be that I killed your majesty?"

"Your Majesty was fine yesterday, but he passed away today. Who else can be in the palace besides you people?"

"Presumptuous!" Tang Kuo was obviously a tough woman.

Her origin is not simple. Tang Kuo is a tribe among the Jurchens. In history, she has been married to the Wanyan family in the past dynasties.

It is self-evident what kind of status a tribe can marry with the royal family.

"Now there is no proof! It is impossible to convince the public based on your one-sided words!" Zong Han was obviously unwilling to give up. He no longer had any concerns about face.

This is clearly an edict!

He never expected that his opponent would do such a shameless thing.

Wanyan Zongjun said: "Since it is His Majesty's last edict, we must abide by it!"

"Fart!" Zong Han retorted, "His Majesty has previously established Wanyan Quan as the master of Banbo. It is known to the whole world. How can this matter be changed on the spur of the moment! I don't agree!"

Wanyan Zongqian said: "I think it is reasonable for Zhongshu Ling to disagree with Zhongshu Ling. After all, everyone reached an agreement before and established Wanyan Quan as the crown prince."

Shi Liai and Han Qi on the other side did not speak for the moment. They both saw that this matter was not simple and they could not get involved.

Wanyan Zongjun said: "But now that His Majesty has left an edict to let Zong Pan succeed to the throne, it is an indisputable fact."

"Why don't we each make a vote?" Wanyan Zongqian said.

"I think it will work." Wanyan Zongjun said.

Wanyan Zongqian said: "Those who agree with Zong Pan's succession stand on the opposite side, and those who agree with Wanyan Dan's succession stand here and start."

Zong Qian and Zong Jun walked to the opposite side, leaving Zong Han and Wu Shu standing together.

Next, Wanyan Yu also walked over.

This was something Zong Han didn't expect.

It seems like this was planned in advance.

Now it's two to three.

However, the Bojilie system is not a democratic system, and it does not mean that more votes will automatically take effect.

It can only be said that everyone has the right to speak, but in the end it is the emperor who makes the final decision.

When making decisions, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had more concerns than the Zhao Guan family of the Song Dynasty.

Zong Han said: "Do you know what will happen if Zong Pan succeeds to the throne?"

"Is it possible that Zhongshu Ling is planning to rebel?" Wanyan Zongqian asked.

Wanyan Zongqian looks chubby, usually smiles and is amiable.

But he is not a good person. As the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda, his status is extremely high.

This can be seen from his identity as Hezha Mengan.

Hezha Meng'an's Jin army is the most elite among the Jin army. They were the pro-army of Wanyan Aguda back then, and their combat effectiveness is definitely no worse than Wushu's Tiefutu.

If Zong Han really wants to use force, he still has some concerns.

But Zong Qian naturally has concerns. If a fight breaks out, both sides will suffer losses. In the end, the only winner will be Zhao Ning, who is currently lying in the palace in Tokyo and discussing the depths of life with the queen.

Although the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom have serious differences, if the conflicts escalate to a threat to the Jin Kingdom as a whole, they will temporarily put aside their conflicts and quickly reach an agreement.

Therefore, both sides are now actually testing each other's bottom line to see who can compromise first.

At this time, Wanyan Yu stood up and spoke. He said: "Zong Han, your worries are justified. His Majesty appointed Wanyan Dan as the first to be familiar with Banbo Jilie, but now he is still young.

Are we going to let a thirteen-year-old boy sit on the emperor's throne in a hurry?"

"I don't agree to arbitrarily change it unless you kill me today!" Zong Han looked around, his eyes like a tiger looking around the beasts in the forest.

Zong Qian's eyes fell on Wu Shu who was silent on the side, and he asked: "Wu Shu, what do you think?"

It is obvious that Wu Shu, who has not expressed his position at the scene, is the key figure. He has a lot of troops and is a powerful figure in the military and political affairs. Moreover, he is a reformist of Zong Wang, and his voice is very important.

Wu Shu said: "I don't understand these things. Uncles and brothers can make the decision."

"Wushu, you are now prestigious enough to express your opinion. We need to hear what you have to say."

Wushu hesitated for a moment and said: "It is better for Zongpan to succeed to the throne first, Wanyandan to continue to be the master of banbojilie, and Zongpan to succeed a hundred years later."

Wu Shu's words were very cunning. He neither supported Zongpan nor Wanyandan.

But if they don’t take sides, they all take sides again.

In short, he said all the good things.

No wonder some people say that Jin Wushu's political talent was better than his military talent.

Historically, it was Jin Wushu who single-handedly led the comprehensive restructuring of the Jin Kingdom, transforming the Jin Kingdom from a country cloaked in the guise of an empire but actually a backward tribe, to truly advancing the imperial system.

Now only Zong Han is left to oppose.

Zong Han's face looked ugly, but he knew that it was a foregone conclusion. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Good!"

In fact, this scene of several powerful figures coming together to decide who will be the emperor was not uncommon in the Central Plains dynasties.

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the seventh year of Jingkang, Emperor Wanyan Wu of the Jin Dynasty passed away, and Wanyan Zongpan succeeded to the throne.

This is a complete turn of events from official history.

Later, some people analyzed the birth of this black swan and said that the outbreak of conflicts in the Jin Kingdom was inevitable. This is pure nonsense.

It can only be said that Goryeo and Xixia, one in the east and the other in the west, played a decisive role in this.

The Battle of Goryeo was superficially a battle between Song and Li, but it was actually a contest between Song and Jin.

The Battle of Song and Xia was superficially a battle between Song and Xia, but in fact it was also a contest between Song and Jin.

The Battle of Song Li and the Battle of Song Xia damaged the interests of the Zhuhe Faction within the Jin Kingdom. Zong Pan was the one who danced the happiest among the Zhuhe Faction.

The complexity of the conflicts within the Jin Kingdom is not just as simple as the peace faction and the war faction.

Before the formation of the monarchy, every person who held real power had great ambitions in his heart.

This is also the reason why Wanyan Wu Qimai did not dare to make his own son emperor.

Because he knew that even if he suppressed these people forcefully and established Zongpan, Zongpan would end badly after his death.

He still wanted to keep his son.

The scheming careerists took advantage of the opportunity when the interests of the Lord Peace Party were harmed to encourage Zong Pan, who was the worst at playing politics.

Their purpose is both obscure and inevitably reveals some traces of ferocity.

This is why Zong Wang said with a heavy heart that "winter is coming" after hearing that the Song army defeated the main force of Goryeo.

Because he knew that Song and Jin Dynasties would open up a new battlefield in Goryeo.
