The contents of the box were too important, even more than the tiger massacre itself. Several people thought that Aguda might have discovered the internal instability. Some people were ready to take action in the face of the inheritance of power, so they wanted to hide it from everyone's eyes.

Complete the handover of supreme power in a transparent and transparent manner to prevent people with ulterior motives from obstructing it.

Faced with the problem of how to deal with these difficult things, now that time is running out, Erwa decided to continue preparations and immediately informed the prince of the current situation using the fastest method. It was up to him to make the decision! Five days later, when the preparations

Basically ready, the prince's order has also arrived. The content is very simple, just twelve words: he is injured but does not die, the edict is returned to him, and the rest is brought back.

On the third day of August, a group of knights entered Shangjing City in the dust before the city gate was closed. The soldiers guarding the city found that almost everyone in this group of knights was injured, especially the leading knight who was sitting precariously on his horse, as if a strong wind would blow.

They were blown off their horses. Although they expressed deep sympathy, the soldiers guarding the city dutifully checked their badges and immediately let them go as soon as they saw that they were the emperor's personal guards.

These people did not rest but immediately went straight to the imperial city in Nancheng. At this time, the palace gate was locked, but they held the gold medal given by the emperor and asked to see Ban Bo Jilie Wu, who was staying in Beijing, to beg for money, saying that he had important items to hand over.

Give it to them without delay! The soldiers on duty did not dare to neglect to report in. After a while, there was a reply, asking them to leave the things.

But at this time, the palace door was locked and could no longer be opened. Someone lowered a basket from the top of the city and ordered them to put the gold medals and escorted items inside. Although the guards escorting the treasure chest were dissatisfied with this, they argued a few words.

But he had no choice but to do as he was told, and after delivering the items, he left on horseback...

Needless to say, the people who came to the imperial city to deliver gifts just now were the people from the Tiger Slaughter Squadron. The reason why they chose to enter the city in the evening, dressed as wounded soldiers, and arrived after the palace was locked was all for one purpose, which was not to be recognized.

If they go in in broad daylight, regardless of whether there are any acquaintances among the guards in the palace, or if they are called over by Wu Qimai to ask about the situation, they will have to reveal their secrets, and it is already dark at this time, and the distance between the upper and lower walls of the city is

It's quite far away and no one can see anyone clearly, so it's easy to get away with it.

Under the leadership of Han Xuan, several people turned around an unknown number of streets and found themselves in a secluded place with no one. They quickly took off their armor, threw it into a ditch, and drove their horses into the woods on the roadside.

At this time, the city gates were closed, and it was impossible to get out. In the darkness, they followed Han Falcon around the city and got into a large courtyard with the gate facing west. This was their temporary hiding place.

.

Just as they were entering the house, suddenly the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground came from the city. Several horse teams passed by the courtyard, and then so many Jin Army soldiers appeared out of nowhere to block it.

He walked down every street and started searching for the assassin door to door.

"It seems we succeeded, but we don't know whether that kid is alive or dead!" As soon as a few people entered the courtyard, someone came forward to help them, and led them into a hall and arranged them in a small room.

Hearing the horn sound outside, people shouting and horses neighing, we knew something was wrong, Zhang Kui said with a smile.

"Why are you so impatient? He opened it as soon as you gave it to him. Let's leave it overnight, shouldn't we leave the city?" Li Tian, ​​the instigator, was nagging dissatisfied. "Ma Tou, what kind of place is this? Is it safe?

?The Jurchens won't search here!" He asked again uneasily.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't go out, the Jurchens won't find you. Not everyone can come in here!" Han Xuan said as he fumbled to light an oil lamp.

"Ma Tou, why is the man who brought us here just now dressed like that? What does he do? He is similar to the people who sang Nuo opera in the Song Dynasty." Li Tian asked, looking at the room full of murals by the light.

"Idiot, that's a shaman!" Zhang Kui slapped Li Tian and said.

"You know, what kind of place is this? It's the place where gods live. No one dares to set foot here easily!" Qingyang found a place to sit down and put the pistol beside him.

"Oh, that's the shaman, but how do you know them, Ma Tou? Isn't this arranged by the boss?" Li Tian said. Although he has never seen it, he also knows the status of shamans among the Jurchens.

extraordinary…

The Jurchens believe in the animism of all things in heaven and earth, and believe that they can bring misfortunes and blessings to people, and can also know the misfortunes and blessings of others. Therefore, the Jurchens respect heaven the most. They believe that the gods dominate everything, the victory or defeat of wars, and all natural signs are the will of God. Therefore, they set out to fight.

Major festivals such as New Year's Day and New Year's Day all involve worshiping the sky or the sun. Their worship of multiple gods led to the emergence of shamans, messengers who communicated between humans and gods and ghosts.

Shamans are called intermediaries between gods and humans. The biggest difference between them and clergy of other religions is that they can use their personal bodies as a medium to communicate with ghosts and gods. In this way, they can convey people's prayers and wishes.

They can also convey God's will to humans. They are the spokespersons of Heaven. If the Jurchens are in a state of war or other hesitant events, they ultimately have to rely on the shaman. Therefore, the shaman plays an important role both politically and militarily.

plays a certain role.

In the process of unifying the Jurchen tribes and the establishment of the Jin Kingdom's political power, the Wanyan tribe was inseparable from the support of shamans. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the consolidation and development of the political power, as well as the dispatch of troops to the Liao Kingdom, all relied on the power of gods, so when they were built in Shangjing, they were specially dedicated to the shamans.

Manchu built a temple, and the place where Erwa and the others were hiding was the sacrificial temple. Aguma followed the rules here, and it was conceivable that no one else would come here to search for assassins!

At the same time, the city of Shangjing was in chaos. The whole city was under martial law and assassins were being hunted. The news that Aguda was seriously ill had already reached Shangjing, but the withdrawal team moved slowly. On the way, the emperor was transferred to Zhongjing because he needed to recuperate.

, stopped moving forward. Wu Qimai realized that his accession to the throne might not go smoothly, and from then on he moved into the palace to prevent any changes.

Before the expedition, Aguda may have had a premonition that he would never return, so he agreed with him that if he felt that it was not possible, he would send someone to send back the pre-written edict of succession, so that Wu Qimai could ascend the throne in Shangjing accordingly.

, to prevent the Kingdom of Jin from becoming turbulent and ruining its hard-won great cause due to the struggle for the throne.

Because of this, when Erwa and the others sent the imperial edict back in time, how could Wu Qimai restrain his inner impulse and couldn't wait to open the box. The first box was the edict he was eager to get, but the second box was not.
Chapter completed!
