Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 63 Jochi’s choice
"But father!"

"Batu, don't you even listen to what I say? Shut up, you have no right to speak here." Jochi glared at his son and said.

Seeing his father getting angry, the young Batu didn't dare to say anything more and kept his mouth shut obediently.

"Please go and give things to my second brother and fourth brother first! Tomorrow morning, I will ask my son to wait for you in front of the big tent. You take him over and give him to my third brother. Brother, tell Ogedai that I gave him my best son." Jochi said.

"Yes, Lord Jochi!" The envoy did not dare to say anything more, bowed to Jochi and his son and then exited the military tent.

"Ahem! Batu! Do you know why I asked you to follow your third uncle?" Jochi sat on his bed and coughed twice.

Since the Western Expedition, his body has been getting worse day by day. Jochi has a feeling that his end may be coming.

His sons are still young, so he needs to prepare early.

"Father! Why is your body like this? Isn't it Chagatai's fault? Chagatai and Ogedai wear a pair of trousers. I don't want to go to his side!" Batu said stubbornly

Before their grandfather Temujin and Genghis Khan launched the Western Expedition, his father's health had always been very good. However, since the incident before the Western Expedition, his father's health had deteriorated day by day.

He hated Chagatai to the extreme in his heart. If he hadn't said that his father was not his grandfather's child, would his father be so exhausted mentally and physically that he would be like this now?

The relationship between Chagatai and Ogedai was extremely good, so Batu actually didn't have much favorable impression of Ogedai.

"It is your second uncle, my second brother Chagatai, who hates me and uses vicious words to hurt me, not your third uncle Ogedai. You must remember this. Your third uncle is not He has done nothing wrong, and the relationship between our brothers has always been very good." Jochi said.

"But father! Chagatai and Ogedai, aren't they all from the same group? The reason why my second uncle attacked you might be because of him." Before Batu could finish his words, he was interrupted by the angry Jochi. Kicked to the ground.

"You bastard, shut up, you don't have any evidence, can you say bad things about others based only on guesses and suspicions?
So what's the difference between you and that guy from Chagatai?Didn't Chagatai use vicious words to slander me because he doubted my birth?

Are you going to become the person you hate the most?Ask yourself, has your third uncle treated you badly over the years?

Chagatai is the only person who has ill intentions towards our family. Don't hate people who have a good relationship with him just because you hate others. This is wrong. "Juchi said.

My health is getting worse day by day, and I might die one day. What will my sons do then?

The best among his sons was Batu, so Jochi had to ensure that his son had a good relationship with the future Mongolian Khan Ogedei.

There is also the divine messenger who follows Wo Kuotai. Let the divine messenger follow Wo Kuotai. The father's intention is very obvious.

He could tell that the fourth brother had no chance.

So it's time to choose to take sides and send his best son over. The third child should know what he means.

"Batu, remember, Ogedei is the future Great Khan of Mongolia. You have to obey his orders. No matter what the order is, you have to obey it. Do you understand?" Jochi said.

"Father, according to our Mongolian tradition, the person who should really inherit everything from my grandfather should be my fourth uncle Tuo Lei," Batu said.The Chahetai and Wokuotai families have a very good relationship, but the Jochi family has a better relationship with the Tuo Lei family.

Even Batu had an extremely bad relationship with Guiyou, the eldest son of Wo Kuotai, but he had a very good relationship with Meng Ge of his fourth uncle's family.

This is an indisputable fact, so if possible, Batu hopes that his fourth uncle will inherit the position of Great Khan of Mongolia in the future.

"Do you know what you are talking about? This is my father's order, your grandfather Genghis Khan's order!
You must abide by it. There are some things you don't understand now. You will understand them when you grow up.

Remember your father's words, if a Khuliltai conference is held to elect a khan in the future, you must choose to stand behind your third uncle.

Your third uncle is the heir chosen by your grandfather. Even if your father dies, you must unswervingly support your third uncle and let him ascend to the position of Great Khan of Mongolia. Do you understand? "Jochi grabbed his son very cautiously and said.

According to their Mongolian tradition, the fourth child should indeed inherit everything from his father, but now his father has arranged for Wokuotai, the messenger of God, Zhang Yong.

The fourth child really has no chance at all, and when it comes to governing the country, the third child is more suitable than the fourth child who is dragging his feet.

"I, I understand, father. I will listen to you. Father, you, you will not die. You are only in your 40s. You are just not in good health now. After you return to the fiefdom, you can take a good rest for a while. Your health will be better, and then you can take us hunting again." Batu said.

"Well! Father is fine. Don't worry. I will arrange for you to train under Third Uncle this time. Remember one thing. There is a Han military advisor named Zhang Yong beside him. You must have a good relationship with him. Do you know?" Jochi said.

The identity of the messenger of God is too special.

"I know father, and I will have a good relationship with him. I will remember your words." Batu nodded and said.

Although he was very reluctant, Batu still chose to listen to his father's words. When the Khuliltai Conference begins in the future, he must stand unswervingly on the side of his third uncle and elect him as the Great Khan of Mongolia.

But what if, what if it is the next election for the position of Mongolian Khan?I shouldn’t need to obey my father’s orders, right?

Who are the sons of the third uncle?Are they worthy of controlling the entire Mongolia?

"Well! I will allocate half of my personal guards to you. You can take them across the river and go back to rest. You will set off with the envoy early tomorrow morning to meet your third uncle." Jochi patted He patted his son on the shoulder and said.

"I understand, father, please take care of yourself and wait for me to come back. I will definitely make you proud with my military exploits." Batu said.

"Well! I believe in you, you can definitely do it." Jochi nodded with satisfaction and said.

　I recommend everyone to go to station b and watch the Mongolian series, The History of Tintin. There are more than 60 videos in total, each lasting more than [-] minutes, telling the story from the rise to decline of Mongolia.
