As night fell, the night of the savannah was not quiet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the whistling wind in her ears, Li Mu'er lay on the bed, constantly recalling all kinds of shocks she had received in her mind for this day and night, including the one that Fang Qimuge told her, about the story of Manduhai and Batu Mengke, the old wife and young husband.

Mandu Hai was originally the side concubine of the former Tatar Khan, Mandu Gul Khan. At that time, Mandu Hai was only fourteen years old, and Mandu Gul Khan was only the twenty-seventh generation heir of Genghis Khan, and at that time it was only possible to inherit the throne. When he went to Wanggu to ask for marriage, the other sisters in the Manduhai family were not interested, because he was only one of the many heirs, and he might not be able to be a khan, and he was too old.

However, Manduhai does not see it that way.

In order to realize her political ambitions and unify Mongolia, as the daughter of a nobleman of the Wanggu tribe, Manduhai ignored the opposition of her family and voluntarily married Mandulu, who was twenty-two years older than her.

Perhaps it is fate that Mandu Hai will be a great cause, from the princess Fuzheng to Dahatun in the two years, Genghis Khan's other heirs have died one after another, although Mandu Lu has been in his twilight years, but he rightfully inherited the Khan's throne, and Mandu Hai is also respected as Mandu Hai Saiin Kedun. It's a pity that she gave birth to two daughters for the old khan, but never gave birth to a boy.

The storm doesn't delay just because you're not ready.

Mandu Gulkhan died of illness and had no son to inherit the throne.

Due to the lack of heirs of Mandu Gul Khan, there were 60,000 households in the Mongolian headquarters at that time, 10,000 households under the direct jurisdiction of the Great Khan, including some of the subordinates who annexed Polo Khan at the beginning, all inherited under the command of the Queen of Mandu Hai.

Such a powerful force is undoubtedly a temptation for those who want to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan.

Mongolia has always had the custom of heirs taking in the deceased's relatives, and whoever became the Great Khan could marry the wives and concubines of the previous Great Khan.

This also means that whoever marries Manduhai, the widow of the Khan, will inherit the tribesmen, property, and status of the Khan of Mandu Gul Khan.

So the nobles and princes from all over the Mongolian steppe came to propose to Manduhai.

However, according to the Mongol inheritance law, only the direct descendants of Genghis Khan can ascend to the throne as khan, and there are many suitors, but none of them are direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

Searching the entire steppe, the heir of Genghis Khan's golden family is only a six-year-old orphan - a six-year-old orphan. Batu Mengke.

Manduhai made a decision that surprised everyone: to marry Batu Mengke, who was a full twenty-five years younger than her.

In fact, in Li Muer's opinion, it is not unusual for Manduhai, who is committed to the great cause, to make this seemingly absurd decision, but I am afraid that it is more helpless. First, Batu Mengke is indeed ranked first in terms of the order of succession, just take the example of the Warat tribe first, even if a person with a foreign surname has great strength to win the throne, he will eventually become the target of public criticism, and if the name is not right, it will not be good. Second, the fact that Batu Mengke is young can also make the ministers relax their vigilance, so that Manduhai has time to relax and slowly cultivate a new khan.

Qi Muge also said that Batu Mengke's fate was very bumpy, he lost his father at a young age, and his mother was also taken away by the traitorous Taishi, if he was not discovered by Manduhai, he might have done nothing for the rest of his life, or sooner or later he would be killed by people who coveted the throne.

And after marrying Manduhai, Batu Mengke naturally sat in the first place, titled: Dayan Khan.

In this way, Manduhai is indeed the benefactor of Batu Mengke, let him avoid loneliness, and even praised him to sit on the throne of the Khan, and became the king of wolves in the Mongolian steppe. If Batu Mengke disrespects her, it will be intolerable.

As for the relationship between the two, Li Muer believes that Batu Mengke grew up under the influence of Manduhai's education and must be full of dependence on her. The pair of twins I saw in the morning is enough to prove that although the age difference between the two is huge, their relationship should be excellent.

Li Mu'er closed her eyes, and she could almost see that it was not easy for them to come all the way, and they must have been full of criticism and faced a lot of struggles. Especially for Manduhai, I wonder if there will be a regret of "I was born before I was born, and I am old when I was born"? Li Muer selfishly felt that a woman like her who had the world in mind probably had no time to ponder the feelings of these children.

Fortunately, Manduhai's success in political affairs has obviously met her expectations. After more than ten years of hard work in cultivating the new khan, now she finally sees that he can stand in a high position independently and control the overall situation, such a sense of accomplishment must be more gratifying to her than the obedience of her subordinates.

For such a great woman, Li Muer can only admire. But how to resist her and go back to the Central Plains has obviously become a big problem.

While thinking about it, Li Mu'er felt sleepiness gradually attacking, and her eyelids were heavy and she was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent was heard, and it was not at all as cheerful as the daytime, but mixed with the crowd and screaming, full of turmoil.

Li Mu'er hurriedly got dressed and cautiously pulled up the corner of the curtain to check.

Sure enough, the people were in chaos, and the two groups of samurai fought together, and the sound of the sword cutting through the flesh and skin could not avoid penetrating into the ears, and it was very terrifying to hear.

It seems that there should be civil strife among the clansmen, and the Tatars are recovering the steppes, and it is not surprising that there are enemies who come to provoke. Li Mu'er didn't want to get involved, and her eyes searched around for the few people she only knew.

There was no sign of Batu Mengke or Manduhai, but he was a man of arms, and he was in front of a tent with a few guards, and watched vigilantly at the enemy soldiers on his horses.

It was not the sleeping tent of the Great Khan and the queen.

can look at her nervous appearance, there are clearly important people in it.

The moment Li Mu'er blinked, he suddenly found that a fierce horse had broken through the encirclement and was roaring towards his wooden grid.

"Beware!" Li Mu'er almost instinctively flew to her side with light skills, but it was still a little late, the guards on the left side of her wooden grid had already been slashed to the ground, and her wooden grid took a few steps back, barely standing firmly.

Li Mu'er's eyes were sharp, he drew the knife in the deceased's hand, used the knife as a sword, and fought with the comer.

But the enemy soldiers who were fighting in chaos over there seemed to be aware of the target, and they rushed towards this side. Li Mu'er and a few guards stood at the bottom, and if they wanted to stop the horse, they would be injured by the knights on the horse; When you fight with the knight, you have to beware of the collision of the fierce horses, and you can only be busy parrying for a while, and the situation is very passive.

Li Mu'er's right hand was still difficult to fight, and he could not fight them on horseback, so he could only force them off the horse. At this time, she stabbed into the horse's belly, and before she could pull it out, someone suddenly took advantage of the situation behind her to sneak attack, and she was about to slash at her!

"Bachelor of Woman!" Qi Muge shouted, and then Li Mu'er felt the wind sweeping behind him. When she turned around, she saw a scimitar catch the blade of the cut, and then the owner of the scimitar kicked the person away!

It's actually Mandu Sea.

Li Mu'er and Mandu Hai were out of the instinct of martial artists, their backs were slightly together, and in the face of the enemies on the left and right, they turned their heads and looked at each other, hooked the corners of each other's lips, and waved their knives to fight side by side......
