The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 879: Prince, don’t hesitate, sign it!

When Li Yan proposed to promote Ashina Jing as Khan, not only Shi Luodie was surprised, but even Hermu behind him was stunned by this fantastic idea. However, after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no rule on the grassland that women could not be Khan.

The Khan is the one with the strongest soldiers and horses!
However, in this grassland where tigers and wolves roam rampant, according to convention, only strong men compete with each other, and weak women have no chance to stand out.

However, there is no rule that women cannot be khans, just as there is no explicit rule in the Central Plains dynasties that women cannot be emperors. If a woman can get the full support of a powerful force, it is not impossible for her to do so.

For a moment, Heermu was very excited. He didn't care that Li Yan was forcing Shi Luodie to submit. He immediately interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that Ashina Jing seems to be more suitable than Shi Luodie. She and Your Majesty are bound to be married. Everyone on the grassland knows it."

"Once you become the king's wife, there will be no more trouble."

Seeing that Li Yan was also moved, Shi Luodie did not dare to delay any longer and said quickly: "No, I promise you, I promise you everything. From now on, I will never go west if you say east. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

After saying this, Shi Luodie seemed as if all the bones in his body had been pulled out, and he sat down on the ground helplessly.

Just be a puppet!

If he doesn't become a puppet, he will die. If Li Yan is determined, Ashina Jing may really be pushed to the throne of Khan.

Shi Luodie used to think that it would be difficult for Li Yan, a Han Chinese, to usurp the throne, and he himself was Jie Li's only son.

But I didn't expect that the other party had such a bold idea and just came up with one.

With Li Yan's means and prestige, his sister can indeed sit firmly on the Khan's throne. When Li Yan has a son in the future, won't the Khan's throne fall to an outsider? How can he be worthy of his father Khan's spirit in heaven and the Ashina clan members?

Moreover, this is not without some advantages. Even if he is just a puppet, he has occupied this position for Ashishina.

Thinking of this, Shi Luodie felt a lot more relieved. Anyway, he didn't really want to take on the responsibility of the Khanate and be a puppet. Except for the fact that his life was not in his own hands, everything else was in line with his usual style.

At least he wouldn't have to worry about the Turkic affairs anymore. Those unruly leaders would be dealt with by Li Yan. He just had to stay in the Khan's court and be a canary. Li Yan would provide him with food and drink.

Enjoy yourself every day and have someone to support you.
"Okay, this is what you said!"

Li Yan handed the scimitar to Heermu and said sternly: "Shi Luodie, you will keep your life for now. We have an agreement. As long as you can be honest and abide by today's agreement, I can guarantee that you will have a lifetime of wealth and prosperity, and enjoy endless enjoyment."

"But if you are restless and want to seize power again, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will kill you without hesitation and replace you with someone who obeys me."

After saying that, Li Yan waved his hand, and Hermu took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it to Shi Luodie: "Sir, these are the people you promoted to be loyal to you during your trip south this time. They are all generals with real power."

"Now, write a letter yourself and invite them here!"

"The weather on the grassland in October is still very hot. The Khan's body cannot be preserved for long. After a brief memorial ceremony for two days, it will be buried. According to our rules, we will perform the burial ceremony, and those generals will also come to pay their respects."

Shi Luodie took it and opened it. He was completely disappointed. All his actions in Liaodong were seen by the other party. He had promoted two groups of people in total. One group was in the open and followed him, and the other group was in secret. They were all middle-level generals and were not well known.

But unexpectedly, none of this could escape Li Yan's eyes and was thoroughly investigated.

Shi Luodie was secretly shocked by Li Yan's methods. No wonder his father Khan said that he was no match for Li Yan. This time when he went south, the other party had been guarding the Liao River, but he knew his movements very well. This was something he could not compare to.

Moreover, the list also includes a large number of influential ministers among the royal family and tribal confidants cultivated by his father Khan over the years. These are the basis for him to be called Khan!

According to this list, his foundation in the Khanate would be uprooted, and he would have no chance to compete with Li Yan. Shi Luodie trembled and tried to test him: "Li Yan, you are not going to kill them, are you?"

"How could that be? I would never do such a thing."

Shi Luodie felt relieved when he heard that, but then Li Yan showed a weird smile on his face and changed the subject: "It was you who wanted to kill them, not me. It has nothing to do with me!"

Well.
Shi Luodie's face froze, and he immediately felt angry. Li Yan wanted to get rid of them and make him bear a bad reputation for being unkind and unjust. These people really had vicious intentions!

"They are all heroes of the Southern Expedition. If they are killed for no reason, it will probably cause chaos among the Turks." Seeing the two men staring at him, he dared not resist and could only struggle and say:

Li Yan smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry about this. I have found the reasons for you. You just need to give the order and don't worry about anything else. If you do this well, you can enjoy your old age in peace and don't have to worry about anything." "Prince, don't hesitate!"

Hermu also advised: "People on the grasslands all follow the strong, how can they be loyal? Although these people were promoted by you and the former Khan, if they knew that the Right Wise King had the power of the Khanate, I'm afraid they would rush to the Right Wise King."

"When the time comes, they will probably be the first to persuade the Right Wise King to get rid of you for fear of your revenge."

"Isn't that what happened to the subordinates promoted by the Right Wise King in the Liaodong war? Do you think the people you bring out will be more loyal than the Right Wise King's men?"

"As long as these people are still here, they will sow discord, either inciting the Right Wise King to kill you, or instigating you to kill the Right Wise King. It will not benefit anyone. Without these people, you can enjoy peace of mind in the Khan's court."

"We do this for your own good."

Shi Luodie sighed helplessly, gave up completely, and began to write the summons.

After it was finished, Hermu took it and looked at it, then nodded silently. Although it was written by Shiluodie himself, Hermu gave him the template in advance. He only said that Jie Li was accidentally assassinated and before his death, he passed the position of Khan to Shiluodie in front of all the generals.

When the Khan leaves, all the generals are required to come and pay their respects and bid farewell, and then jointly escort the new Khan back to the Khan's court.

The Right Wise King had no objection and bowed in obedience to the order. Therefore, there was no need for a large army to come. Only those with the rank of captain of a thousand men or above were needed to come for protection. When they returned to Urge, they would hold a ceremony to enthronize the Khan and reward people according to their merits.

Li Yan took a look and smiled slightly. With the intention of rewarding according to merit, those generals would come frantically. If they were a step slower, they would probably lose the merit of supporting the emperor.

After handing the decree to Hermu, Li Yan bowed to Shi Luo and said solemnly: "Your Highness, you are the future Khan of our Turkic Khanate. The Khan has passed away. I hope you will mourn and take care of yourself."

Helmu also followed suit and bowed, then the two of them retreated, leaving Shi Luodie alone and disheveled in the tent.

Shi Luodie had a bitter look on his face. He stood in front of Jie Li's body, his eyes showing deep resentment. He murmured, "Father Khan, why are you doing this? This is superfluous. Li Yanzhi was not on the grassland to begin with."

"From today's complete fallout, he would rather push his younger sister to be the Khan than take the position himself. It can be seen that he really has no interest in the Khan position."

"Originally, as long as we wait until he conquers the Central Plains and returns to the Tang Dynasty to become the emperor, the grassland will belong to the child."

"But after all this, not only did you fail to get rid of him, but you also brought up the conflict between us. Now, the child has become a puppet, and the real power of the Khanate has fallen into Li Yan's hands. How do you want me to deal with this situation?"

After saying that, Shi Luodie knelt down in front of Jie Li's spirit and burst into tears. This time his crying was even more sad and sorrowful than when Jie Li died before!

As soon as Li Yan came out of the tent, he saw Zhuolibuhua and several captains directly under the Khan's tent coming in front of him, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Everyone is smart. They have seen today's situation. Shiluodie's throne still needs the support of the Right Wise King, and now the Right Wise King has far more troops than the Crown Prince. Who will have the final say in the Turkic Khanate in the future? Is there any need to say it?
If they continued to follow Shi Luodie, they might be purged. Therefore, after discussion, the five captains of the 5,000-man army in the Khan's tent decisively chose to change sides and decided to join the Right Wise King.

Zhuolibuhua took the lead and knelt down in front of Li Yan and said, "Right Wise King, the Khan is dead, and we are without a master. From now on, we wish to follow Right Wise King, always at his side, and never turn back."

"Zhuolibuhua, although the Khan is gone, the prince is still here!"

Li Yan frowned: "You were all the Khan's personal guards before, and the prince is the undisputed next Khan. Logically speaking, you should all serve the prince for both public and private reasons. Why did you choose me?"

"The Right Wise King has misunderstood!"

Zhuolibuhua explained: "We follow the old Khan, but that doesn't mean we recognize the new Khan. When Jie Li Khan was here, we had to be loyal to him, but now he is gone. We can choose to follow the new Khan or choose someone else."

"It's not considered a betrayal. I think His Royal Highness will respect our choice."

Li Yan smiled slightly. Shi Luodie was not strong enough, and today he was frightened by Jie Li's death and the army's formation, which completely exposed his useless side. The generals who were originally in Jie Li's camp were deeply disappointed in him.

Coupled with his own strength, the so-called conventions naturally no longer count. Li Yan looked up at Helmu beside him.
