Usurpation of Mongolia: My father-in-law is Genghis Khan

Chapter 48: Unification of Power and External Expansion

After a long silence, Temujin took a deep breath and said, "Ashuo often says that no one is perfect. Since you, Hasar, have stopped and apologized, I will not pursue what happened yesterday."

Temujin forgave Hasar.

But his expression remained gloomy as he continued, "However, Kuo Kuo Chu...can't stay."

Temujin actually didn't want to take action against Kokuchu, but this time, Kokuchu completely touched his bottom line.

Temujin could tolerate Kokuchu's rebellious intentions, but he could not tolerate Kokuchu's instigation of his brothers and relatives.

Having experienced countless hardships and betrayals, Temujin attached the greatest importance to the unity of family and friends.

Kuokuo's action touched his sore spot.

Once Temujin made a decision, he would not waver.

His face was full of solemnity and majesty. Zhao Shuo and Hu Nan both heard the murderous intent in Temujin's words.

Hasar was overjoyed and expressed his loyalty with all his might, saying, "Brother, I will mobilize the troops right now and deal with him myself!"

"No need."

Temujin thought for a moment and said, "I'll make some preparations and deal with Kokochu tomorrow. Ashuo, you will also come tomorrow and guard behind me with a sword."

This means that we need to use Zhao Shuo's military force to maintain order.

The reason was simple: Temujin and Menglik's family were too close. Tongtian Wu's authority was too strong in the Mongol Empire. If Khasar led his troops to deal with Tongtian Wu, it would probably not go smoothly.

Furthermore, if Kokochu was to be dealt with, Menglik would have to be confronted. Temujin respected Menglik's father very much and did not want anyone to humiliate him.

Furthermore, just as Kokochu, on behalf of the Eternal Heaven, had Temujin crowned him Genghis Khan, Temujin had Kokochu killed. If this were to become public, what would it mean? I'm afraid the sacredness of the title Genghis Khan would be greatly affected.

If the execution of Tongtian Wu can be done secretly, it is better to do it secretly. The fewer people who know about Temujin's execution of Tongtian Wu, the better.

The next day, everything was ready, and Temujin issued an order to recruit Menglik and his seven sons into the Golden Tent.

At this time, in the Golden Tent, apart from Temujin and Zhao Shuo holding a knife behind him, there were eight people including Menglik and his sons.

After the formalities were over, Temujin went straight to the point and said, "Father Menglik, are you aware of the rebellion of the all-knowing wizard Koko?"

"I……"

When Kokuchu wanted to give Temujin half of his power, he said it in front of Menglik. Although Menglik reprimanded Kokuchu, he didn't tell Temujin after all, right?

He was a loyal and honest man, and was speechless for a moment.

But Kukuchu was thicker than a city wall. Upon hearing this, he immediately flew into a rage and shouted, "Treason? Temujin, you accuse me of treason, but what evidence do you have? If you feel that my knowledge of the celestial wizard has affected your authority and you are unhappy and want to kill me, then tell the truth and don't make such a lame excuse!"

"Hmph, even now, you're still so stubborn! Someone come!"

"exist!"

Hasar agreed loudly and walked in from outside the tent with his knife drawn.

He simply recounted what happened the night before on the spot.

However, Kokuchu still refused to plead guilty. He sneered and looked at Temujin and said, "Hasar is your brother, Temujin. Isn't it true that he says whatever you tell him to say?"

"Oh? You mean, Hasar's evidence is unreliable? What about the others? Bobar!"

"exist!"

With a promise, Bobar, Zhuolehan and Kuge walked into the Golden Tent.

These three people are all of Monlik’s adult grandchildren.

Distance produces beauty.

Kokuchu and others were about the same age as Temujin. They watched Temujin grow from their playmates to Genghis Khan, but they didn't think it was anything special.

However, their next generation had become accustomed to Temujin being the Great Khan of Mongolia and became loyal to him.

"Fourth Uncle, please don't deny it. In fact, I reported your rebellion to the Khan half a year ago..."

Bo Baer's words immediately became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If it was said that Hasar was instructed by Temujin to frame Kokochu, how would Bobar explain it? He was his own nephew!

Besides, what if he denied it? When he said that, his father and brothers heard it!

In the end how to do?
Kokochu was as if struck by lightning. He had considered that Hasar might betray him, and he had prepared several excuses for this.

But he never expected that Bo Baer had reported him half a year ago.

At this moment, he was speechless.

"me……"

For a moment, Kokuchu really wanted to fight to the death with Temujin.

However, as soon as his eyes met Zhao Shuo, who was standing behind Temujin with a knife in hand, that thought quickly disappeared.

Zhao Shuo's aura and eyes looked at them like a wolf on the grassland looking at the sheep in the sheepfold. There was no warmth at all, only indifference and murderous intent.

No chance.

Although there were eight of them, father and son, and they were large in number, they did not carry any weapons. However, Zhao Shuo, the bravest warrior on the grassland, had a precious sword in his hand.

Even if we don't count Hasar who was watching them covetously from the side, they didn't have any chance at all!
Even the subtle coldness at the corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth and his half-open eyes seemed as if he was expecting them to resist.

"Hey!"

Finally, Kuokuo sighed and said, "Temujin, you win. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish!"

"Fourth Uncle, you should have died long ago!"

Bobar, Zhuolehan and Kuge rushed forward and pinned Kuokuochu to the ground, making him unable to move at all.

Bobar said, "Genghis Khan, kill him! If Kokochu is still alive, the whole family will be disgraced, and the three of us will have no face to continue living in this world!"

"Alright." Temujin said in a deep voice, "Tuolan, you brothers, send Koko off!"

"Yes."

In a sense, the six brothers who knew about the crime but did not report it were also guilty of treason.

Tuo Luan and others certainly understood that this was the last chance given by Temujin to draw a clear line between themselves and Kokuchu.

At this time, there is no time to care about brotherhood.

The six men asked Temujin for six daggers.

Almost at the same time, six daggers pierced into Kuo Kuochu's vital parts!

"Oh my goodness!"

Menglik had nothing to say. He called out the name of his fourth son, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down his wrinkled cheeks.

"That's it, let this matter pass."

It was obvious that Temujin was also in a bad mood. He comforted Menglik, saying, "I will announce to the public that Kokochu has completed the mission given to him by Changshengtian and returned to heaven. I will still respect you, my father, Menglik, as before, and I will treat my six brothers as before."

"Thank you, Genghis Khan!"

Menglik, together with his six sons and three grandsons, paid homage to Temujin.

If it were in the past, Kokochu's death would definitely cause shock to the Mongolian tribe.

But not long ago, Zhao Shuo cleverly used the miracle medicine incident to divert Kuo Kuochu's identity as the only spokesperson for Changshengtian.

In the eyes of the Mongols, Kokochu is now just one of the spokesmen of Eternal Heaven.

Even though Kokochu died, they still had Genghis Khan, who was even more favored by the Eternal Heaven, and Zhao Shuo, the number one Bater on the grassland who could also get the will of the Eternal Heaven. They were not worried at all.

Of course, Menglike and his son also understood the truth at this time.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

As Menglik and his family left Genghis Khan's Golden Tent, an old era passed and a new era arrived.

An era when Genghis Khan holds absolute power in the Mongol Empire and no one can restrain him!

Of course, the unification of internal power also quickly put the external expansion of the Mongol Empire on the agenda.

Coincidentally, Hu Nan and Zhao Shuo were both here today. In order to dilute the gloom of dealing with Kokkochu, Temujin asked Hu Nan and Zhao Shuo to stay and discuss the next strategic plan of the Mongol Empire.
