Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 232 The New Mongolian Khan

"Father! The heir you have chosen is indeed brother Wokuotai.

But according to our Mongolian tradition, I am your legal successor.

So I want to participate in this election. "Toolei gritted his teeth, and despite the strong dissuasion of his wife behind him, Luheteni, he was the first to rush out and spoke.

If he doesn't even participate, he won't be willing to do so anyway! So Tuo Lei decided to participate in this election. At least the host kings fully supported him.

Soluheteni looked at her husband who had rushed out and shook his head helplessly. Can't you still see clearly in this situation?

Ogedai was already the designated heir, and Genghis Khan wanted Ogedai to successfully ascend to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia while he was still alive.

If you come to power now, you can only humiliate yourself. Why not think of a way to preserve your own military strength?

"Well! I just said that any son of mine can participate in this election. If you are willing to participate, then come up!" Genghis Khan nodded and said.

He knew that Tuo Lei was still unwilling to give in. Even when he was elected as the successor, Tuo Lei also agreed that Wokuotai was the Great Khan.

But how big was the torpedo back then! When he went on the Western Expedition, he was only in his twenties and his wings were not full yet, but now the situation is different.

Tuo Lei thinks he is better than Wo Kuotai.

"Father Khan! I am the heir established by you personally. As the Great Khan of Mongolia, I naturally have to participate in the election." Ogedai took a deep breath, walked up to the stage and said.

At this moment, Wo Kuotai's mood has calmed down. It turns out that Zhang Yong, this is the huge surprise you bastard said!

This was really surprising, I was so scared that I couldn't recover for a long time.

He originally thought that it would be a great joy for his father to appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the attack on the Kingdom of Jin this time, but he did not expect that there would be an even bigger surprise waiting for him.

Wo Kuotai is not a fool. Participating in the Khan Selection Conference now is an absolute advantage for him! Because his father Genghis Khan was on his side.

"Hahaha! Very good, then in addition to Wokuotai, there is also Tuo Lei!

My brothers, do any of you want to stand on stage and run for office? "Genghis Khan looked around, looked at his brothers, and asked.

These brothers of mine are not peaceful masters, and all of them want to be the Great Khan!

Do they think they don’t know?

"Brother Temujin, according to our Mongolian rules, we also have the right to inherit your position as Great Khan.

After the death of Hebul Khan, he also passed the throne to his brother Anbahai Khan. I also wanted to participate in the election. "A Mongolian sect king in his fifties stood up and said.

This person is the youngest brother of Genghis Khan, Bo'erjijin and Temuge Ochijin.

Genghis Khan smiled and looked at his youngest brother, who had just been born not long after his father died.

Unexpectedly, the little brother who followed me and listened to me in everything now has ideas and wants to become the Great Khan of Mongolia.

He also came up with the theory that brothers inherit each other.

"You also want to run for the position of Great Khan of Mongolia. Are your achievements comparable to the two of them? My third son, O Kuotai, or my fourth son, Tuo Lei?" Genghis Khan asked.

Today, as long as he is his son, he will have a chance to take the stage. Even if he fails, he will not say anything or punish him.

Because this is the right given to them as a father, I want to pass on my inheritance to my sons.

But what are you? You are where you are today, and you were able to avoid starving to death when you were a child, all because I, Genghis Khan, raised you as the eldest brother.

After you became an adult, I did not treat you badly and made you one of the kings of the host country.

But now you actually want to seize the throne?

"I, I am your brother, Temujin, shouldn't you pass on the throne to me? Just like Hehebul Khan did back then." Temujin said.

"Haha! If my children are still young and cannot take up this important role, then I can pass the throne to you. In terms of military merit and political performance, how can you compare with my two children? You can say it yourself ." Genghis Khan asked sharply.

"I, but didn't you just say, I. All of us are eligible to participate!"

When Zhang Yong heard this, he rolled his eyes. Damn it, brother, are you mistaken? Genghis Khan is at his toughest period now, and you actually jumped out at this time.

Do you think you are the younger brother of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin? Will your new brother really pass on your throne to you?

"Get out of here, if it weren't for the fact that you are my youngest brother, you wouldn't even be qualified to be the host king to choose the Great Khan of Mongolia.

That is to let him lead the development of our entire Mongolian nation, instead of picking you, a fool who has never made any achievements, to be the Mongolian Khan. "Genghis Khan roared sternly.

Brother Temu gritted his teeth and finally sat down helplessly.

Little did he know that Tuo Lei and Wo Kuotai were already looking at him with murderous looks on their faces.

No matter who of the two succeeds today, Zhang Yong will be executed in the future. You know it with your butt.

Zhang Yong shook his head at the side. How dare you jump out at this time in the Central Plains Huang Clan?

Whether it is the old emperor or the new emperor, he will kill you.

Zhang Yong also remembered Genghis Khan’s youngest brother, Brother Temu.

In the original history, he lived a long life, and sent his eldest sons during the Western Expeditions in Wokuotai.

This man was still alive, and even after Ogedai's death, he brought part of his army to Harakorin, hoping to take the opportunity to seek the position of the Mongolian Khan.

As a result, after the Western Expedition army returned, they immediately became timid and did not dare to compete with Guiyou for the sweat position. After Guiyou came to power, he directly defeated this guy.

You didn’t see your own strength clearly at all!

Brother! This is the situation today.

There are only two people who are qualified to compete for the throne. If Genghis Khan has passed away, no one will say anything if you jump out, but Genghis Khan is still alive!

After the brother was scared away, Genghis Khan looked at the crowd and all the Mongolian kings.

This time no one dared to jump out, not only the kings of the West Road, but also the kings of the East Road.

"Since no one will take the stage anymore, this new generation of Khans will be born among my two sons. You two can start speaking!" Genghis Khan nodded and said.

And gave the right to speak to his two sons.

"I, Wokuotai, as my elder brother and as my father's designated successor, I should inherit the position of Great Khan of Mongolia. I have achieved great military exploits by attacking Xixia, the Jin Kingdom, and the Delhi Sultanate.

If I can inherit the throne, all of you will get more land, more livestock, cattle and sheep, and people. "Wokuotai started on the stage. The merits he has made can become many benefits to the Mongolian princes after the Great Khan.

After a long speech, Ogedei ended his speech.

Many Mongolian Western Kings in the audience burst into warm applause. Under the leadership of Chagatai, they kept applauding and cheering.

Wokuotai gave Tuo Lei a thoughtful look and stepped aside, leaving the opportunity to speak to his younger brother.

Tuo Lei didn't mean to talk nonsense, he immediately stepped forward and began to speak.

"I am Tuo Lei! According to our Mongolian tradition, the elders should take most of the family property to develop in a wider place, and the youngest child should stay and inherit everything from his father.

We should follow our Mongolian tradition and elect me as the new Mongolian Khan.

You should all know the military exploits I have made. After I become the Great Khan of Mongolia, I will lead you to continue the war against the Jin Kingdom, Xixia, and Khwarezm. "Tolei also gave his speech on the stage.

But in terms of eloquence, Zhang Yong feels that Wo Kuotai is better.

The merits of these two people are enough. Both of their merits are qualified to run for the Great Khan of Mongolia, but the question is, what benefits can you bring to everyone?

Wo Kuotai promised benefits to everyone, especially the kings of the Western Road. Wo Kuotai has followed Zhang Yong's advice and promised to launch a Western Expedition in the future that will be even larger than the first Western Expedition.

To conquer those countries further to the west, let the kings of the west get more land, and even express it to some kings of the east. They can also be taken to the west for development, promising that everyone will get more cattle, sheep, land, and slaves.

This is a real benefit.

But Tuo Lei did not promise this to anyone. He did not even promise to the kings of the host country that he would share these lands with them after attacking the Central Plains region in the future.

To be honest, the people of the Tuo Lei family were rather stingy, and this was also recorded in the history of later generations.

This was true whether it was Meng Ge who succeeded to the throne in the future, or Kublai Khan and others. The degree of exploitation of the Mongolian kings was very severe, and there was no such boldness and generosity as during the reign of Ogedai.

Especially after Kublai Khan succeeded to the throne, all the Mongolian kings rebelled, and the four major khanates gradually began to break away.

To put it bluntly, it was because the Tuolei family controlled all the rights and wealth in their own hands and had no intention of sharing it with others.

"Okay! The two of them have finished talking. Now it's your turn to vote." After Genghis Khan finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

Several Mongolian soldiers carried a roasted whole lamb and a roasted whole cow and placed them on the stage.

"When Wokuotai is older, he uses beef to represent it, and when Tolei is younger, he uses mutton to represent it.

Now pick up your dagger and stick it in the beef, which means you support Wokuotai. If you stick it in the mutton, it means you support Tuo Lei. "Genghis Khan said.

All the Mongolian palaces took out their daggers. You look at me and I look at you. They all seem to be waiting for someone to take the lead.

"Great Khan! You are the Khan of Khans! You even have the power to control the entire Mongolian Khan. Why don't you take the lead for us!" A Mongolian king said openly.

"Yes! Dahan! Please come and lead us!"

"Khan! Please take the lead!"

Many Mongolian palaces began to shout below. Their purpose was simple, that is, to let Genghis Khan take the lead.

Because Genghis Khan's vote was so important. Not only did he represent himself, but he also represented the votes of Jochi, Batu and other princes who did not come.

"Okay! Ogedai is my established heir, so I must vote for Ogedai." After Genghis Khan finished speaking, he inserted his dagger into Ogedai's beef.

This was not a surprise to all of them. After all, Ogedei was Genghis Khan's designated successor.

“This kid Jochi told me back then that he would always support his third brother Ogedei to become the new Great Khan of Mongolia.

His sons would also carry on his legacy. "After Genghis Khan finished speaking, he inserted the dagger representing Batu and other princes into the beef belonging to Wokuotai.

"Okay, now it's your turn. Chagatai, you are the eldest of all my sons now, so you should take the lead." Genghis Khan looked at Chagatai and said.

Chagatai nodded, took out his dagger, and walked onto the stage respectfully.

"When we first launched the Western Expedition, I said that I would always support my third brother Ogedai to become the new Mongolian Khan. Now that this sentence has been spoken, I will never change anything. "After Chagatai finished speaking, he inserted the dagger representing himself into the beef again.

Now there is no dagger stuck in the mutton that represents himself, but there are already three daggers stuck in the beef that represents Wo Kuotai.

Unless more than half of the kings of the Western Path would stick their daggers in their own mutton, he might not have a chance at all.

"Okay, it's your turn next." Genghis Khan said.

"Here I come! Father Khan! I am your youngest son. I have never made any merits, but you have made me the king of the West. In these years, Brother Chagatai and Brother Ogedai have taken great care of me. I Support Brother Ogedai." After the young prince finished speaking, he inserted his own dagger into the beef.

With one of the West Road kings taking the lead, the remaining West Road kings also nodded together, stepped forward one by one, and inserted their daggers into the beef in Wokuotai.

None of the kings of the Western Path supported Tuo Lei. After all, they were now a community of interests and would naturally support Wokuotai, which was more beneficial to them.

"Zhang Yong, you are my son-in-law and a member of the Mongolian family. You are also a descendant of the Golden Family. You can also vote now." Genghis Khan said.

Zhang Yong nodded, picked up his dagger and came to the stage.

"Lord Wo Kuotai! He has always taken good care of me and led me to many battles. He is the person I am most familiar with and the person I respect the most. I will naturally vote for Wo Kuotai." After Zhang Yong finished speaking, he will His dagger was stuck in the beef.

The current situation does not even require the host kings to vote, because basically Wokuotai is already in an overwhelming victory.

"Okay! Now it's the turn of the host kings. My brothers, my brothers' descendants, it's your turn to choose. Come up and vote! Who do you support to become the new Mongol Khan?" Genghis Khan looked at the host kings. Wang, smiled and said.

Except for some younger brothers, most of Genghis Khan's brothers have actually passed away, and now those who come to represent them are their children.

One of the host kings sighed, stepped onto the stage, and inserted his own dagger into the beef.

"I support Mr. Wokuotai." It was just a simple sentence. After saying that, he didn't even look at Tuo Lei, whose face was already black at this time, and walked directly off the stage.

No way, even though they want to support Tou Lei.

But Tuolei did not give them any promises, but Wokuotai gave a promise that they would be allowed to invade the West in the future and share the land of the West together.

But you Tuolei did not agree. After conquering the south in the future, you will give us the land in the south.

More importantly, Genghis Khan had set an example, and now even if all their host kings stuck their daggers in the mutton, nothing would change.

On the contrary, it will offend Ogedai and the new Mongolian Khan.

With the first person taking the lead, a group of host kings came on stage one after another and began voting.

One knife was inserted into the beef, and another knife was inserted into the beef. The beef had been inserted into a hedgehog, but the mutton was bare.

Genghis Khan's brother Temu Ge came on stage, took out his dagger, and then inserted it into the mutton representing the tow thunder.

Compared with the beef that is full of daggers, a dagger stuck in the mutton looks so conspicuous and prominent.

At this time, Tuo Lei's wife and several sons in the audience had despair on their faces.

Temu Ge supports Tuo Lei, but there is only a dagger stuck in the mutton. This situation is even uglier than not voting at all.

When Zhang Yong saw this scene, he wondered whether he wanted to mock Tuo Lei or disgust Genghis Khan? You are seeking death!

Instead of being grateful to you, Tuo Lei will actually hate you.

Tuo Lei stood there, even unable to believe the scene in front of him. He thought that the kings of the West Road would support Wo Kuotai.

But he never expected that all the host kings, except Brother Temu, who had promised to support him, would actually stick their daggers in the beef. What does this mean?

Originally, in his plan, all he had to do was fight for the lineage of Prince Jochi led by Batu, the king of the Western Path.

He should be able to win over it. When the time comes, coupled with the votes of the host kings, his chances are still very good.

But who could have imagined that everything happened so suddenly today that his father Genghis Khan would hold a vote for the Great Khan while he was still alive.

Even he himself represents the lineage of Prince Jochi who failed to come.

This is obviously the result of your decision, Father Khan! That's not fair at all, not fair to him.

"Well! It seems that everyone has finished voting, and there is no need to say more about the results. Everyone can clearly see the dagger on the beef.

So from now on, I am the Khan of Khans, the Khan of all Khans, and Ogedei is the new Mongolian Khan, and he will rule you. "Genghis Khan said.
