Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

In fact, Wanyan Jing's heart was not as relaxed as he showed at the banquet.

He understood that he had made a big mistake. Initially, when the Mongolians attacked the Xia Dynasty, he thought that the Mongolians and the Xia Dynasty would suffer a lose-lose situation, and the Jin Dynasty could reap the benefits. However, the rise of Mongolia far exceeded his expectations.

Not only was there no lose-lose situation, but the Xia Dynasty completely submitted to Mongolia.

What were the Mongolians planning to do by mobilizing the Xixia troops?

Even a blind person could see that the goal was to deal with his Jin Dynasty!

What made him even more depressed was that his health had been deteriorating due to prolonged indulgence in wine and women. Although the imperial physicians did not dare to say it explicitly, he himself knew that he probably didn't have much time left. He simply didn't have enough time to deal with the newly emerged Mongolian Empire!

"Puff!"

After the banquet, Wanyan Jing dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him, and sat alone in his bedroom, pondering how to clean up the mess in front of the Jin Dynasty.

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest and a sweet taste in his throat!

He quickly took out the handkerchief he was carrying with him to catch it, and upon closer inspection, the handkerchief was already covered in bright red blood.

Forget it!

Forget it!

He sighed secretly in his heart: In the end, no matter how powerful the Great Mongolian Empire is, its population will not exceed one million. How many people does the Xia Dynasty have? Three million or four million?

If the Jin Dynasty is a vast ocean, then Mongolia and the Xia Dynasty combined are just a handful of sand, how can they cause any waves?

He, Wanyan Jing, is no longer capable. In the future, let his children and grandchildren slowly deal with these two countries!

Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is that he must have children and grandchildren!

Including the son Li Shishi bore him, he had already lost five sons, and now not a single son is still alive!

The most urgent task now is to have a son!

Without a son, no matter how prosperous the Jin Dynasty is, it will have nothing to do with him after he dies.

Therefore, the most urgent task is not to deal with the Mongolians, but to give birth to an heir.

"Someone!"

Wanyan Jing shouted loudly, saying: "Summon the beauties Jia and Fan to come and wait upon me!"

Before long, the two beauties gracefully entered the bedroom. They were both as beautiful as flowers, with graceful figures. Looking at them, Wanyan Jing felt a strange emotion in his heart, both a longing for life and an expectation for the future.

……

Twenty years ago, Xin Qiji was impeached by officials while serving as the Pacification Commissioner of Jiangxi, accused of "spending money like dirt and killing people like weeds." After being dismissed from all his duties, he built this garden on the shore of Dai Lake, north of Xinzhou.

Xin Qiji's residence, "Jiaxuan," is located on higher ground in the garden. It is a two-story pavilion, originally named Jishan Tower, later renamed Snow Tower. The Snow Tower stands majestically, with flying eaves and upturned corners, carved beams and painted rafters, creating an extraordinary atmosphere. In front of the tower is an open space, with a row of bungalows built along the lake, which is the main body of "Jiaxuan." Opposite the bungalows is Dai Lake. The lake water is crystal clear, and a gentle breeze stirs up layers of ripples, as if adding a touch of beauty to this manor.

At this moment, Xin Qiji was sitting in the stone pavilion in front of the Snow Tower, receiving an important guest.

Lu You, courtesy name Wu Guan, sobriquet Fangweng, from Shanyin, Yuezhou, was another famous ci poet of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Now both of them were out of favor with the dignitaries in the court, living in seclusion at home, growing old.

The two men sat facing each other. On the stone table was a pot of wine, the fragrance of which filled the air, intertwined with the fragrance of the flowers in the garden, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Brother You'an, it's been a long time," Lu You picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Xin Qiji. The fragrance of the wine filled the air, but could not cover up the faint smell of herbs in the garden.

Xin Qiji picked up the wine glass, took a light sip, then put it down and sighed, "This wine is good wine, but unfortunately my body is no longer able to enjoy it."

Lu You looked at Xin Qiji, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Brother You'an, you have worked too hard for the country and the people all your life, and now you should take a good rest."

Xin Qiji smiled bitterly and said, "Rest? In today's world, where can I rest? Wu Xi, that traitor, disregarding the eighty years of loyalty and filial piety of the Wu family, raised troops to rebel, calling himself the King of Shu, and offered four prefectures to the Jin Dynasty.

The old general Qiu Chong is old and declining. Not only does he not think about killing the enemy and serving the country, but he also flirts with the Jin people. Prime Minister Han Tuozhou wants to dismiss him from his post, and many people in the court oppose it. I say he deserves it! Even if Han Tuozhou is wrong in a thousand ways, he really did the right thing by dismissing Old Qiu Chong…"

Although he was seriously ill, Xin Qiji couldn't help but raise his voice, speaking passionately and pointing out the current situation of the Song Dynasty.

Lu You listened to him quietly, remained silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Brother You'an, do you know why our Song Dynasty's Kaixi Northern Expedition failed this time? Two years ago, when you went to see His Majesty, didn't you make a judgment that the Jin Dynasty was bound to perish?"

Xin Qiji knew that his old friend did not want to ridicule him, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to hear the details."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Lu You sighed softly and said, "To be fair, the court's Northern Expedition this time cannot be said to be incorrect in its strategy. People of insight in the Song Dynasty, including you and me, all believe that the Jin Dynasty is complacent and peaceful, and has suffered major disasters in recent years, with the Yellow River bursting its banks, and its national strength is far less than before, so it is a good time for the Northern Expedition.

His Majesty and the Prime Minister's determination for the Northern Expedition cannot be said to be not firm. Now the situation in our Song Dynasty is so precarious, if it were not for His Majesty and the Prime Minister holding on, those soft bones in the court might have already gone to Yanjing City to kowtow.

Therefore, I believe that our Song Dynasty is really unlucky. In the beginning, there was a famous general like Yue Wumu, but there was no wise ruler and famous prime minister to complement each other. Now, it is not easy for the emperor and the prime minister to be passable, but there are no famous generals, and they cannot even defeat the weakened Jin Dynasty."

"Yes, the court has no famous generals," Xin Qiji nodded and sighed, "Now the only one in our Song Dynasty who can be put on the table is Bi Zaiyu, who is nearly sixty years old. Unfortunately, Bi Zaiyu is at best a Niu Gao or Yang Zaixing, not a famous general like Yue Wumu who can hope to recover the Central Plains.

By the way, there is also Xin Qiji, who has always considered himself extraordinary. When I was young, I also thought that if I had an elite army, why worry about the destruction of the Jin Dynasty? Unfortunately, now my body is no longer able to go to the battlefield."

Speaking of his health, Xin Qiji was filled with gloom.

Suddenly, Lu You lowered his voice and said, "Brother You'an, have you heard that in the north of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongols have risen, and even Xixia has been conquered by them."

Xin Qiji nodded and said, "I have heard of it. In fact, this is not entirely a good thing. On the surface, the Mongols and the Jin Dynasty are sworn enemies, and conquering Xixia has cut off an arm of the Jin Dynasty. If the Mongols can compete with the Jin Dynasty, our Song Dynasty may be able to profit from it. But in fact, have you forgotten what happened when our Song Dynasty allied with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty? The rise of Mongolia is probably a more difficult enemy to deal with than the Jin Dynasty!"

Lu You shook his head and said, "The point is not here. I heard that the emerging Mongolia has a great general named Zhao Shuo. He is not only Genghis Khan's son-in-law, but also the most powerful general under Genghis Khan. Not only that, but he also seems to be a descendant of the Han people who have been exiled to the grasslands."

"What? A descendant of the Han people? The number one general of Mongolia?"

Xin Qiji had never heard of this before, his eyes lit up, and he personally poured a cup of wine for Lu You, saying, "Come, Brother Fangweng, tell me in detail about this number one general of Mongolia, the Han Chinese Zhao Shuo."
