Wanyan Yong had the talent of an emperor and was highly regarded by Wanyan Aguda.

Wanyanyong in history thought that when Wanyanliang, King of Hailing, attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, he stayed behind in Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. He was later proclaimed emperor and was called Jin Shizong by later generations.

After Jin Shizong came to the throne, he quelled the Khitan Uprising in the north, repelled the Longxing Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, and signed the"Longxing Peace Agreement", which opened more than 40 years of peace between the two sides and pushed the Jin Dynasty to the track of peaceful development.

Wan Yanyong focused his main energy on the improvement of internal affairs and social and economic development.

He made some additions and demerits to the system of the previous generation. The prime minister added two people, Pingzhang and Zhengshi, to further strengthen the imperial rule.

In terms of governance policy, Wanyanyong implemented the policy of resting with the people.

In the second year of Dading, he sent home all the infantry troops who participated in the Southern Expedition from the Central Plains; at the same time, he sent officials to the Shandong area where Han uprisings were intensive to recruit the peasants who were in danger due to the heavy military service and hard labor during the Zhenglong period. As long as they returned to farming in time, they would All crimes are pardoned.

In the third year of Dading, among the Jurchen households who had moved to the Central Plains, if their fathers, brothers and children were all in the military, they were also sent to return home to farm. In the sixth year of Dading, as soon as the war against the Song Dynasty ended, only 60,000 garrison troops were left, and the rest of the soldiers were also released.

Wanyanyong also partially adjusted class relations.

After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, in order to meet the needs of Jurchen slavery, the Liao Dynasty's tax households and temples with their own economies were turned into slaves.

In the second year of Dading, Wan Yanyong not only released more than 600 people from the second-rate tax households who had real credentials as good citizens, but also issued an edict to release all slaves and palace-registered prisoners who returned from the uprising army in Migrant Wowe as good citizens..

In the third year of Dading, he ordered the government to collect and redeem the wives of those who sold their wives due to war and famine in Zhongdu and other places.

In the 22nd year of Dading, the Jin Dynasty stipulated that any slave who was released as a good citizen should marry a good man within the limited time limit, and the children born to him would be considered good citizens.

Official redemptions of good people and partial liberation of slaves played a certain positive role in easing class conflicts.

Economically, Wanyanyong actively restored and developed agricultural production, reduced the burden on farmers, recruited exiles, and reclaimed land.

In order to restore and develop the social economy, he practiced frugality and did not indulge in luxury. He was strict with himself and controlled the princes and ministers.

There were kings who asked the court to provide additional rewards. Wanyan Yong said to them:"Why are you people so greedy? Don't you know that the property in the national treasury is the property of the people. I am just keeping it on behalf of the people. How dare you spend your own money in vain?"

It was precisely because Jin Shizong had a relatively correct understanding of the relationship between the rulers and the people and did not use the treasury funds casually. Therefore, during his reign, the tax revenue was less than the tithe."Besides the two taxes, there was no restraint.".

Within a few years, the national treasury was abundant and the people were prosperous,"leading to peace in the Thirty Years of Dading." When Wanyanyong came to the throne, the country's population was only more than 3 million households, which increased to more than 6.7 million 20 years later. During the Dading period, the political situation was stable and the finances were sufficient. Wanyan Yong was therefore known as the"Little Yao and Shun".

It can be said that the appearance of Wan Yanyong made the Kingdom of Jin rich and powerful.

It is a pity that they did not face up to the"Mongolians" and kept the old Jurchen customs. They failed to fundamentally reverse the decline of the Meng'an Mooke system and underestimated the threat of the Mongolian nomads in Mobei, leaving huge hidden dangers.

When he was sixty-seven years old, he was given the posthumous title of Guangtian Xingyun, the literary and martial arts saint, Renming Renxiao Emperor, the temple name of Sejong, and was buried in Xingling.

Although Wanyan Yong is not as famous as Wanyan Aguda, the story of him and his wife is still circulating to this day.

Wanyanyong and Wulin Dashi were childhood sweethearts, and they often went to play by the Songhua River.

One day, Wanyanyong accidentally broke his knee. While crying, Wu Linda pulled a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage Wanyanyong's wound. Wanyanyong said to Wulin: I will protect you all my life. , don’t let others bully you, let’s build a house here and stay together for a lifetime. Xiao Wulinda smiled and nodded with tears in his eyes.

Later, in order to protect Wanyan Yong and his own innocence, Wu Linda threw himself into a lake and committed suicide.

After Wanyanyong proclaimed himself emperor, he conferred the title of Empress Zhaode on the Wulin family. From then on, she never had a queen in her life.

Later, when Wanyan Yongdong visited Jin Dynasty in Beijing, he came to the lotus pond where they often played when they were children. Suddenly, the past scenes with Wu Linda came to mind. What he said to Wulin Dashi here when he was a child came to mind. A promise stings like a needle in my heart.

Soon, two trees grew here. The two trees were close to each other, like the lingering love between Wan Yanyong and Wu Linda.

This is also a very poignant love story

······

Wanyan Daguda has discovered Wanyanyong's talents and abilities, and has been keeping him with him to train him, and even let Wanyanyong start to take charge of his own affairs.

Give him something to do.

Wanyan Yong did not disappoint Wanyan Aguda. He proposed many policies and methods, which gave the Jin Kingdom a strong strength.

Of course, Wanyan Aguda's preference for Wanyan Yong also aroused the jealousy and displeasure of many people.

After all, they also want to be emperor.

Especially the eldest prince.

But they couldn't help it if they were jealous. After all, Wanyan Aguda was very strong at this time.
