Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 133 The title of Heavenly Khan
soon!A large pot of fragrant tomato stewed beef and a pot of tomato stewed mutton were served.

Genghis Khan took his sons, Princess Hulan, his daughter and son-in-law, and several adopted sons, gathered around and started to eat together.

Since Jochi's death, he had rarely had the opportunity to sit here and dine with his family.

"It tastes good! I didn't expect it to be so delicious when stewed with mutton. This thing called tomatoes should be planted more in the future. It is very suitable for us Mongolians." Genghis Khan said after eating a large pot of tomato stewed mutton.

"Haha! This kid Zhang Yong knows a little bit about everything, whether it's fighting, cooking, or farming." Wo Kuotai said.

"I also think that mutton stew is more delicious. When it comes to beef stew, I always feel that the taste is not as good as mutton." Tuo Lei said from the side.

The things that this Han man named Zhang Yong came up with are really good. This thing called tomatoes has relatively short root seedlings, which is very suitable for planting, and it does not require much water, so it is very suitable for planting here.

It's a pity that this person didn't deal with me and joined Wo Kuotai's side. Otherwise, I could have drawn him to my side and used him for my use.

"I think the beef tastes better! And Zhang Yong made a note this time not to stew the beef until it's too chewy." Princess Hulan said.

is not that right?The last time they made the beef stew with tomatoes, they thought it was a bit rotten.

In this case, just cook it until it's almost done. This time, Zhang Yong paid special attention to this and told the chef who would cook it later.

Anyway, this taste is more suitable for Mongolians.If you are a Han Chinese in the Central Plains, you should hope that the stewed meat is soft and rotten to taste.

And Zhang Yong was also eating a small bowl of beef stew with tomatoes on the side, and he answered without saying a word while eating.

"Zhang Yong! I'll finish eating, let's go! Take me to the coal mines. These coal mines must be mined as soon as possible, and then weapons can be made." Genghis Khan finished the tomato stewed mutton in his hand, touched it on his body, and said Zhang Yong said.

"Father! Just let me take you there. I also know where the place is." The other person stood up and said after finishing his lines.

In the surrounding coal mines, when Zhang Yong was still there, the two of them had searched around with their soldiers, found the exact location, and marked it.

In the recent period, I have been going to those two coal mines frequently. I am quite familiar with the terrain in this area. It will be better to take myself there, and I can also spend some time alone with my father.

"No, you three brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. You three should have a good time together, eat more meat, drink some wine and catch up on old times.

If there are any grudges or things that can't be resolved before, then let's have a wrestling match. We Mongolian men, don't keep it all in your heart if you have any unhappy things. If you brothers have a wrestling match, everything will be over. . "Genghis Khan said.

When Wokuotai, Chagatai and Tuo Lei heard this, they could only nod their heads together and sat down obediently.

There's nothing wrong with drinking and eating meat, but wrestling like before!

Ha ha!

Father Khan can no longer go back to the past, and we can no longer go back.

There's no going back!Sometimes, you have to admit that rights are the most corrosive and the most testing of human nature.

Moreover, its corrosive ability will make everything dim. Whether it is family, friendship or love, they are all so insignificant in the face of power.

"This time when Zhang Yong came back to the East with us, he played us a lot of nice songs.
There are many prairie-style songs on his train. I have memorized them all. Can I sing them to the three of you in Mongolian? "Princess Hulan said from the side.

The atmosphere was really awkward, and she didn't know what to do, so she could only find a way to relax it.

Jochi's death was a huge blow to Genghis Khan.Now the Mongolian Khan has not decided how to tell his real wife Borte about this matter.

Wokuotai, Tuo Lei, and Chagatai looked at each other and said nothing. How could they be in the mood to listen to music now?
"I have also learned some, and some of the soldiers accompanying the army have also learned this kind of tune. When the time comes, let them come over and play music." Tu Lanlun said at the side.

"Come on! Third brother, we haven't practiced together for a long time. Come here and let's wrestle and see if you have made any progress." At this time, Chagatai clapped his hands, lifted his belt, and stood. In the middle, he stretched out his hand towards Wo Kuotai and said.

Now, they are the only two brothers who can play wrestling together. As for Tuo Lei asking him to sit here and eat with them, Tuo Lei's face is almost constipated.

If that's the case, then I'll make your face look even uglier.

"Haha! Okay! Brother, since you are interested in elegance, I will accompany you to the end." Wo Kuotai said with a smile.

And Tuo Lei, who was sitting aside, could only feel embarrassed at this time, damn these two bastards.

You know clearly that I don't want to deal with you two, but you two are actually wrestling here, in front of Father Khan. Are you deliberately slapping me in the face?

The two sons of Genghis Khan just came to the middle of the field, squatted down on horseback, got into a posture, stretched out their hands to grab each other's shoulders, and began to circle in the field. A large group of Mongolian soldiers also surrounded them and began to applaud.

After having a full meal, it was very good to watch a wrestling entertainment program, and the two wrestlers were the sons of Genghis Khan.

After seeing this atmosphere, Genghis Khan nodded with satisfaction and asked Zhang Yong to follow him.

This time, Genghis Khan did not let Zhang Yong drive an off-road vehicle, but took a dozen cavalry guards to ride with Zhang Yong, and set off just like that.

Along the way, Zhang Yong followed Genghis Khan on horseback and ran ahead. A dozen Mongolian cavalry were about 30 meters away from them, following leisurely.

This posture is very obvious. Genghis Khan has something to say to himself!

"Zhang Yong! Can you see the relationship between my sons?" Genghis Khan put his horse at the same speed as Zhang Yong, the two stood side by side, and then asked.

Sure enough, how should I answer this?
"What does the Khan mean? Zhang Yong can't understand." Zhang Yong said pretending to be confused.

At this time, no matter how I answer, it is not good. Instead of doing this, I might as well pretend to be confused.

"Humph! You are very smart! From the first time I met you, I knew you were very smart. Can't you understand what I asked you? I mean the relationship between my sons." Genghis Khan said.

"The children of the Great Khan, as well as his adopted son, should all love each other. Zhang Yong is also the adopted son of the Great Khan, so he should take the lead!" Zhang Yong said.

"But they don't love each other at all now. Everything is just an act. I can see it. What should I do?" Genghis Khan asked.

What can be done?The salad is in this state now.Genghis Khan's situation is somewhat similar to that of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

But he is more difficult than Li Yuan.Although there were conflicts between Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, and Li Shimin, they were resolved in the end.Two sons died, at least the Tang Dynasty was saved.

But your great Mongol Empire, haha!The descendants of the four sons all established a khanate.

And they are all inseparable opposition, what should we do now!There is only one way.

That is to kill one of Tolei or Wokuotai. This is the safest way, but would Genghis Khan do this?Obviously impossible.

"I chose Wo Kuotai as my heir because I had many considerations. Tuo Lei is really not suitable for me. But without Tuo Lei's military help, if I died, Jin Guo Wo Kuo Tai might not be able to defeat him." Genghis Khan said.

There is another most important relationship and reason.The competition for power in the grasslands within Mongolia is quite cruel. It is completely different from the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. Only when you have military power and strength can you speak. Without these, you are nothing.

Tuo Lei does have very powerful military talents, but he is definitely not as good as Wo Kuotai in dealing with these nobles on the grasslands.

You cannot kill these nobles on the grassland, nor can you suppress them excessively.Because once they are killed or their rights are confiscated, a large number of Mongolian soldiers will rebel, and their own Mongolian country will fall apart.

The only person who can peacefully conquer them, let them continue to serve Mongolia, and maintain a middle balance is Ogedai.

Tuo Lei cannot do this. If Tuo Lei takes action, Tuo Lei will definitely suppress these Mongolian nobles with extremely strong strength.

By then the Great Mongolia will be torn apart.It knows this better than anyone else.

Zhang Yong sighed helplessly when he heard these words, didn't he?It was indeed Wokuotai who succeeded you after your death, and Wokuotai did a good job indeed. He destroyed the Jin Kingdom and launched the second Western Expedition.

During the Ogedei era, the Mongol Empire reached its peak of power.But after Wokuotai's death, the Tuolei family finally came to power.

The consequences were as Genghis Khan expected. The Tolei family used extremely tough methods, which led to the disintegration of the entire Mongolian country.

During the reign of Meng Ge, the last great Khan of the Great Mongolia, the Golden Horde had already become independent. At this time, the Chahotai Khanate also began to become independent.

The rivalry between Kublai Khan and Alibaba completely led to the collapse of this huge empire.

(In addition to the four major khanates, Mongolia also has countless khanates, large and small, some of which are attached to the Yuan Dynasty, and some to the four major khanates.)
"Great Khan! You should let Master Wokuotai succeed you as soon as possible. Only in this way can you completely cut off some people's ideas." Zhang Yong said.

"I'm not dead yet!" Genghis Khan said with a cold snort.

What do you mean, you bastard?Let Wokuotai succeed to the throne early and I will still be alive, okay?How can he succeed to the throne if I don't die?
"I know the Great Khan! I definitely don't mean to curse you to death. What I mean is that as long as you are alive, Mr. Ogedai can inherit the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia." Zhang Yong said.

? ? ? ?At this time, a row of question marks appeared on Genghis Khan's head. What does this kid mean?How can Ogedai succeed to the throne while I am still alive!I can't give up my seat to him and let him be the Great Khan of Mongolia, right?

"Great Khan! Do you know that in the Central Plains Dynasty, there is a position above the emperor?" Zhang Yong pretended to be mysterious and smiled and said.

My cheap father-in-law!You have to thank me properly. We are working hard to help you save the two years of delaying the founding of the country.

This will give you more time to reorganize the Mongolian army and then better launch the Western Expedition.

A status more noble than the emperor?What does this mean?In the Central Plains Dynasty, wasn't the emperor the supreme being?
Just like the khans on their steppes.

"You kid, every time you say something you like, you only say half of it. Some things are not clear. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me what you want to say." Genghis Khan stopped his horse and said very displeasedly. .

At the same time, he raised the riding whip in his hand to signal the dozen Mongolian cavalry to stay away. What he and Zhang Yong were going to talk about next was not suitable for too many people to hear.

These Mongolian cavalry also immediately understood what Genghis Khan meant and began patrolling five or sixty meters away from them.

"Great Khan! Do you know the Supreme Emperor? In other words, the former name of the Tang Emperor in the Central Plains in the grassland was Tian Khan." Zhang Yong said.

The Supreme Emperor is the emperor's father. In the Central Plains Dynasty, it is theoretically a higher position than the emperor, but the real power depends on the situation.

For example, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, only had one title after he became the Supreme Emperor, and he did not have as much power as the emperor at all.

Another example is Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. After becoming the Supreme Emperor, his power was much greater than that of Emperor Jiaqing. The entire government was still controlled by Qianlong, the Supreme Emperor.

God Khan!This title belongs to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin received the title after defeating the Turkic tribes and completely conquering the grassland.

Genghis Khan may not know the words of the Supreme Emperor, but he should have some understanding of the title of Tian Khan.

"I know that Tian Khan is the Great Khan of all Khans. This is the title of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. However, this title is far from my current position as the Great Khan of Mongolia!" Genghis Khan said.

"In the hearts of the grassland people, Tang Taizong Li Shimin is naturally far inferior to you.

But in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains of Han Dynasty, only by unifying the entire Central Plains, conquering the grassland areas, and making all the countries in the Western Regions surrender can they be respected as the Khan of Heaven and become the Khan above Khan. "Zhang Yong said.

"That's the preference of you Central Plains people! It's just a title. Let me tell you, my current position as the Khan of Mongolia is only higher than that of the Khan of Heaven!" Genghis Khan said.

Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was not born in the same era as him. If he was born in the same era as Genghis Khan, he would have to compete with him to see who was better.

"Great Khan! It can be seen that the territory of the Tang Dynasty also extended to the country of Khwarezm, and even went to war with the black food country in the west. The most prosperous territory of the Tang Dynasty, the grassland you ruled, plus The Khwarezm that you conquered was once the territory of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Yong said.

This is no joke. The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty refer to far more than Xinjiang. All the lands in Khwarezm now paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty.

The army of the Tang Dynasty had fought with the army of the Abbasid Dynasty. As for why they did not rule these countries in the Western Regions like Genghis Khan, or even conquered them, it was because they had nominally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

The wealth of the Tang Dynasty was far beyond what the West could imagine. For Genghis Khan before the Western Expedition, Khwarezm was an extremely wealthy country. If you conquer it, you will get a lot of wealth.

But for the Tang Dynasty at that time, it was just a remote area, and these lands were conquered.

The military and management expenses spent every year are astronomical, and they are thankless.

Had it not been for the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, which caused the control of the Western Regions to weaken.Now these countries in the Western Regions are still surrendering to the Central Plains Dynasty!

The Central Plains region has begun to conquer the Western Regions since the Western Han Dynasty, both in terms of force, spiritual and material means.

"What do you mean? Aren't my achievements now comparable to those of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?" Genghis Khan said.

"There is no need to compare with Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. I am just giving an example. What I mean is that the Great Khan can call himself Tian Khan, which is equivalent to the Supreme Emperor in the Central Plains." Zhang Yong said.

Genghis Khan loves to compare with others. You two are not in the same period at all, so there is no way to compare.

"There is no problem in calling yourself Khan of Heaven. You mean Khan of Heaven. This position is the Great Khan of all great Khans. Then I will hand over the position of Great Khan of Mongolia to Ogodei, right?" Genghis Khan said.

"The Great Khan is wise, that's what Zhang Yong means. You become the Khan of Heaven, and then convene the Khuliltai Conference to elect Lord Ogedai to become the real Great Khan of Mongolia." Zhang Yong said.

As long as Genghis Khan is alive, the Khuliltai Conference is just a procedure, and the Supreme Emperor Khan is the best solution at present.

In this way, the idea of ​​dragging thunder can be completely eliminated, and during Genghis Khan's lifetime, Ogedei can also use the power of the Mongolian Khan to grind away the military power in dragging thunder's hands bit by bit.

How to deal with this younger brother in the future is Wogotai's business and has nothing to do with Zhang Yong.

However, with Wo Kuotai's character, there is a high probability that he will still kill Tuo Lei. After all, only the dead can reassure him.

"I have conquered so many areas. According to you, people in the Central Plains still don't want to respect me as the Khan of Heaven?" Genghis Khan asked.

For the title Tian Khan!Especially the recognition of the people of the Central Plains, Genghis Khan seems to have an obsession.

"Your current territory is indeed very large, but the Tang Dynasty also controlled these areas. Although it did not conquer, it made them surrender. The grasslands surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the countries in the Western Regions also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. These are your In the area you occupy now, you have to occupy the Jin Kingdom, conquer the Southern Song Dynasty, destroy Xixia, destroy Dali, and conquer Tubo before you can be revered as the Khan of Heaven by the Central Plains." Zhang Yong said.

"it is good!"
