Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 410: War of words among the kings, blocked by Yelu Chucai

Wokuotai closed his eyes helplessly and nodded, although he really didn't want to admit it.

But he understood that his current position as the Great Khan of Mongolia was just a title. None of these Mongolian nobles were willing to admit it. Even Yelu Chucai, whom he had worked hard to train, sat aside silently and did not step forward to intervene at all. mean.

Don't say that you can pass on your children by making a will after your death. When his grandson loses his family and succeeds to the throne, whether he can pass on the title of Great Khan of Mongolia to his son Guyu is a big question during his lifetime.

At this moment, Wokuotai clearly realized that he was not his father Genghis Khan after all.

You are the Great Khan of Mongolia! You inherited it from Genghis Khan, but Genghis Khan is our khan above all khans, the khan above all khans, but you are not.

He did not have the courage, leadership, and cohesion of Genghis Khan. He Ogedei only inherited everything from Genghis Khan, but he did not surpass or equal Genghis Khan.

"Is the Great Khan still awake? I doubt it. Let's see what the Great Khan is like now. Maybe this decree was just written by the queen yourself." One of the host kings said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately fell silent. After all, they had tested it many times before. Dahan is indeed self-aware, but is it really okay for you to say this now?
"You bastard, what did you say? How dare you contradict me and disobey the Khan's order?" Toregona stood up angrily, pointed at the Mongolian nobles in front of her and shouted.

"I have no intention of contradicting or disobeying the Great Khan's orders, but I can't just watch the Great Khan be controlled by others, especially by a woman. Why do you, as a prostitute, supervise the country? Even if you want to supervise the country, you should Please come out and inspect Mr. Tai," the kings of the East Road said.

"Master Chagatai is also seriously ill now and cannot come to the Mongolian headquarters to preside over important events. What's more, he himself has to manage his own Chagatai Khanate." Toregona said.

At this time, Zhang Yong stood up calmly and winked at Guyu who was standing beside him. The two of them came to the Mongolian east kings who had just spoken out against Tolegona in a tacit understanding, and then they attacked together. He was kicked to the ground.

"What the hell, you dare to contradict my mother?" Guyu stepped on the other person's chest and said.

"Does Wokuotai Khan have self-awareness? How about letting you test it?" Zhang Yong directly took out his sword and said.

"Master Imperial Master, what do you mean by this? Are you going to use force against the descendants of the Golden Family here?" one of the host kings said.

"Bhan! If you can hear me, just wave your hand to the right and nod." Zhang Yong said.

When Wokuotai heard this, he immediately struggled to sit up, then waved his hand in the right direction, and then nodded to Zhang Yong.

"You've all seen it, what else do you have to say now. The Great Khan can't speak, but that doesn't mean he can't move. How dare you disobey the Mongol Khan's orders, or even openly resist the Mongol Khan? Do you want to Conspiracy?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Master Imperial Master! I, I just care about the Great Khan, I, I have no other ideas." The kings of the East Road who were stepped on by Zhang Yong and Guyu said.

He didn't expect that the master of the state and the prince would start fighting if they disagreed.

"Master Imperial Preceptor, you are the Imperial Preceptor of Mongolia. How could you be so rude in the main hall? What kind of behavior is this? Please retreat quickly and release the prince in front of you." Yelu Chucai stood up at this time and spoke. said.

"Yelu Chucai, you clearly know that the Great Khan has his own consciousness, but why are you unwilling to obey the Great Khan's orders? This decree should have been written by you, not me." Zhang Yong looked at Yelu Chucai and said .

"If the Great Khan calls me and asks me to write an edict, I will obey it.

I followed the Great Khan's orders meticulously, but it was Queen Tolegona who called me in before.

But the edict I was asked to write was different from that of the Great Khan, so naturally I was unwilling to write it. I was loyal to Ogedai Great Khan, so what was wrong with me? Yelu Chucai said.

In the eyes of Yelu Chucai, the greatest threats to the position of the Mongolian Khan were actually vassal kings like Zhang Yong, Batu, and Chagatai who had real power and large numbers of troops.

Since ancient times, turmoil among vassal kings has been common in all dynasties, but the Mongolian Empire is different from these dynasties. The territory of the Mongolian Empire is really too large.

It would take a year or two to run from the southernmost point of the empire to the northernmost point. It would be impossible to implement unified central management of such a huge land.

Even Mongolia's advanced post stations could not maintain fast communications in this huge empire, so Mongolia needed these vassal kings, but among these powerful vassal kings, there was actually one who was not the son of Genghis Khan.

Although he was related to Genghis Khan's family and was Genghis Khan's son-in-law, Zhang Yong was an outsider after all. According to Yelu Chucai's Confucianism, he was the biggest threat to the imperial power.

Moreover, Zhang Yong has always had some mysterious and fantasy colors in him. Mongolians are very superstitious. In the future, if Zhang Yong really says that he has been inspired by the Changshengtian and becomes the new Mongolian Great Khan, then most Mongolians may not Everyone will accept it.

Therefore, Zhang Yong's rights cannot be strengthened. This is something he has been discussing with Wo Kuotai, and Wo Kuotai himself agreed. This time, Zhang Yong did not receive a single point of land from the western expedition.

But if Guiyulu succeeds to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia, it will be one thing if this agreement does not work!
Everyone in Mongolia knows how good the relationship between Guyu and Zhang Yong is.

The reason why Guiyou is able to achieve today's achievements is inseparable from Zhang Yong, and even the entire Wokuotai family's current power is inseparable from Zhang Yong himself.

But the more this happened, the less Yelv Chucai wanted Guyu to succeed as the Great Khan of Mongolia and further expand Zhang Yong's power.

Although Yelu Chucai knew that the succession of a young master to the throne would cause great turmoil in the Mongolian Empire, and even lead to the emergence of powerful ministers, it was better than letting a powerful vassal king become bigger.

Because if Shi Liemen can succeed to the throne, the minister with all the power in the government will undoubtedly be himself.

And he is loyal to the Golden Family and Genghis Khan. He will uphold the Confucian idea of ​​​​the king of heaven and earth, the king, his parents and his teacher.

"Ah! Ah!" Wo Kuotai nodded to Yelu Chucai, then waved to Yelu Chucai, motioning for him to come over.

Yelu Chucai nodded and came to Wo Kuotai.

Wo Kuotai pointed at himself, then at Guiyou, patted Guiyou's shoulder heavily, and nodded to Weiyelu Chucai.

This meaning could not be more obvious. He wanted to pass the position of Great Khan of Mongolia to Guyu.

"Great Khan! You told me before that your grandson lost his throne and became the next Great Khan of Mongolia. You told me this personally, and many Mongolian ministers know about it.

There will be no lies. If we follow your order, then we hold the Khuliltai Assembly and let your grandson participate in the election. Shouldn't we follow the edict issued by you when you were good? Yelu Chucai asked.

"Aba! Aba! Huhu!" Hearing this, Wo Kuotai sighed first, then shook his head helplessly and waved his hand to Yelu Chucai.

He also wants to make the lost clan the Great Khan! But he can't do it. While he is still alive, these Mongolian nobles have begun to disobey him.

Not to mention that after he dies, instead of letting his grandson sit in this position in fear, it is better to let him stay at home.

His biggest goal now is to help his son become a great Mongolian man. Otherwise, the Ogedai family may lose this position as a great Khan.

"Khan! You have to think clearly! No, there are some things you can't do!" He wanted to say something.

Zhang Yong must not be given more power, but now if Guiyou succeeds to the throne, Zhang Yong's power will undoubtedly be at its peak.

But now Zhang Yong is standing nearby. If he speaks these words, it will be over. This is slandering the national master in public.

After all, more than ten years have passed since Zhang Yong surrendered to the Mongolian Empire, and he has been loyal during this period.

After hearing Yelu Chucai's words, Wo Kuotai nodded firmly. He put his hand on Guyu's shoulder.

Seeing this, Yelu Chucai gritted his teeth. I'm sorry, Khan. As a minister, I must say something that will make you unhappy today. The salary of the emperor is eaten by the emperor, and the sorrow of the loyal emperor. I have received the kindness of Genghis Khan, and I will never allow such a powerful vassal king to rise.

No, no, no, it should be said that this vassal king has risen, and what he has to do now is to suppress him. And prevent his power from expanding again.

"Great Khan! If you want to make your eldest son Guyu the new Great Khan of Mongolia, then you must abide by the rules of Genghis Khan and the rules of the entire grassland. We must hold a Khuliltai Conference to elect a khan!" Yelu Chu Cai said.

"Yelu Chucai, what do you mean?" Guyu asked angrily.

"I don't have any other intentions. I'm just doing things according to the rules." Yelu Chucai said.

"Okay! Then we will convene the Kuriltai Conference, invite the princes and nobles of Mongolia, and select a day for all the clan kings, all the children of the Golden Family, and all the Mongolian nobles to gather together." Guyu said. said.

Isn't it just to hold the Khuliltai Conference to elect a Khan? Then let's choose. Let's see who can stop me and who dares to compete with me for the position of Khan.

Anyway, the Great Khan of Mongolia is also qualified to convene the Kuriltai Conference. He only needs to initiate a Kuriltai Conference in the name of Ogedai, and everyone can be summoned in up to a year.

"Wait a minute! We need a suitable reason to convene the conference. Prince Guiyou, what reason do you want to convene?" Yelu Chucai asked.

"Needless to say, I naturally chose Khan." Guyu said.

"Why choose Khan? The Great Khan is still alive and conscious.

We have no reason to re-elect the Great Khan. As the princes just said, there cannot be two suns in the sky.

Mongolia does not need two great khans, and it is even more impossible to have a khan on top of a khan. Yelu Chucai said.

"You! You!" Guyu's face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Yelu Chucai and said through gritted teeth.

This bastard, this bastard, why do you have to stop yourself!
I am the eldest son of the family, and the position of Great Khan of Mongolia belongs to me. Who else has this qualification besides me?
"Hahaha! Prime Minister Yelu is right. Now is indeed not the time to hold a Mongolian Khan election meeting." Zhang Yong, who was standing aside, raised his feet.

Let a certain host king leave smoothly, put away his sword, came to Yelu Chucai, and spoke.

"Brother Zhang, you, you."

"Prince Guyu, please stand aside and don't speak." Zhang Yong gave Guyu a look that believed in me and said.

Guyu opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and stood next to his mother. He was not good at words. If he continued to go on a business trip with Yelu, he might get angry. And he was firmly manipulated by the other party.

Let’s leave this kind of talk-talking matter to Brother Zhang!
"What kind of advice does the Imperial Master have!"

"A country cannot be without a monarch. Now that the Great Khan has become like this, he has no way to handle the affairs of the government.

We want to elect someone to supervise the country, and you say that the Queen is a female? So, why not let Prince Guiyu supervise the country first? What do you think? "Zhang Yong said.

By supervising the country, you can also consolidate power to a certain extent and accumulate some experience in politics, so as to accumulate experience for becoming the Mongol Khan in the future.

"Prince Guiyu is still young, how can he fulfill his responsibility of supervising the country?" one of the host kings said.

"Prince Guyu is only a few years younger than me. He is now in his thirties. How can he be younger?
Isn't a man in his thirties still an adult? "Zhang Yong immediately retorted.

"Master National Preceptor, if someone is needed to supervise the country, then one needs to be elected with high moral character and respect." A Mongolian host king said.

"Does this prince have a suitable candidate?" Zhang Yong asked.

"The Imperial Master has misunderstood. What I mean is that although Prince Guyou is brave, he has no experience in politics. Several people should be arranged to assist him, and four to five people should be selected to supervise the country."

"Yes, at least four people can do it, and it must be one from the Tolei family, the Ogedai family, the Chahetai family, and even the Jochi family to manage the entire Mongol Empire."

When Zhang Yong heard this, he couldn't help but smile. These bastards thought so well. This was tantamount to a complete decentralization of power.

You guys, the kings of the east road, rely on the Tuo Lei family for their livelihood, and this is also very good for the kings of the west road, so no one will object, but it is not good for the Wokuotai family.

"Prime Minister Yelu, what do you think should be done about this matter? Do you want four people to oversee the country together? And each of the four major families will provide one." Zhang Yong asked.

"This is inappropriate." Yelu Chucai said with certainty. He was joking. Isn't the purpose of what he said now just to weaken Zhang Yong's rights and the power of the vassal king?

Zhang Yong is within his target, but some other vassal kings are also within his target. Doesn't this mean that all the vassal kings should do it together?
In Confucian thought, Ogedai is now the Great Khan of Mongolia, so the only real Mongolian royal family is Ogedai, and the others are vassal kings.

"Then it would be better to let Queen Tolegna and the eldest son Guiyu supervise the country together, if anything happens.

Small matters will be discussed and handled by the two of them. If something big happens, they can also ask the Great Khan for instructions. As for the Great Khan himself, he can just rest in peace and recuperate. "Zhang Yong said.

When Yelu Chucai heard this, he also nodded. Other kings of the East Road, you look at me, I look at you, no one jumped out to speak again.

"So, then all the vassal kings should return to their fiefdoms now!" Zhang Yong said.

Soon, all the host kings, Mongolian princes and nobles left the scene, and Yelu Chucai also sighed and left the hall.

"Great Khan, you see it now! You are still alive, and your orders are useless. It will be extremely difficult for Guyuk to ascend to the throne of Great Khan." Zhang Yong said while looking at Ogedei.

It is Zhang Yong's hard work that allowed the mother and son to obtain the responsibility of supervising the country in Mongolia. If Zhang Yong does not come back, the civil strife in Mongolia may continue for several years just like in the original history.

Guyu's mother Toregona continued to use Mongolia's finances to constantly send money to the kings of the host country and the king of the west road to increase their rights in exchange for their support.

The Mongolian tax and financial system that had been initially established was completely destroyed.

"Okay! Queen, help the Khan back to rest first! Don't worry, Khan! I'm still here!
As long as I, Zhang Yong, live one day, the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia belongs to the Ogedai family, and no one can take it away. "Zhang Yong said.

After hearing Zhang Yong's assurance, Wo Kuotai was obviously very moved, and even had some tears in his eyes. He nodded to Zhang Yong, and then was pushed down by Queen Turegona.

Zhang Yong's words spoke to Wo Kuotai's heart. As long as he lives for one day, the position of Khan of the Wo Kuotai family will not fall into the hands of others.

Indeed, as he said, if he really passed away, few people in the Ogedai family would be able to control the situation.

The only person who can control the situation is Zhang Yong. If Zhang Yong is killed at this time, it will undoubtedly cut off an arm of the Wokuotai family.

Several other families will pounce on them like hungry wolves and rob the Wokuotai family of everything. You can’t believe Yelu Chucai’s words!

My own family, my own son, still need this boy Zhang Yong, and I still need this boy Zhang Yong's help.
