Influence of Wanyan Gao on Political Situation of Early Jin Dynasty
In the process of Jurchen's expedition against the Liao Dynasty,Wanyan Gao grew from a fledgling Jurchen general to a military general and commander with an open and far-reaching strategic vision,and was deeply trusted by Taizu and Taizong of the Jin Dynasty.After the founding of the Jurchen,Wanyan Gao was in a high position and enjoyed a high prestige among the Jurchen aristocracy.He played an important role in strengthe-ning the cohesion of the Jurchen aristocracy and was an important military strategist and politician in the early Jin Dynasty.As the brother of Taizu and Taizong with the same mother and according to the old system of Jurchen,Wanyan Gao was appointed as the successor to the throne of the Jin Dynasty by Taizong.The death of Wanyan Gao before Jin Taizong directly led to the ten-year struggle for the crown prince in the period of Tianhui,which in turn led to the intensification of factional dispute in the early period of Xizong,making the issue of succession to the throne of the Jin Dynasty a potential threat to the political turmoil in the early Jin Dynasty.
