Chapter 1673: Boyan's Wisdom

"The country can't be without a king for a day, and the Luoyang Hanting refuses to let the prince come back, and now only the king of Maodun can inherit the unification in the country."

Hu Hanye stood up and defended that he was a hardcore hawk and a diehard loyalist of Mao Dun, so he naturally hoped that Mao Dun would inherit the throne of Emperor Yuan.

Murong Ke and the other confidants of Tuo Lei had long regarded Kublai Khan as the future Yuan Emperor, and Hu Hanxie's statement obviously could not convince them.

"This time and that time."

Boyan stood up and retorted: "Before, Han Ting detained the prince because he wanted to use the prince as a threat to prevent our army from sending troops.

Now that the first emperor has died, and the Qin army is the most suspicious, and our country urgently needs the prince to return to the country to succeed to the throne, if the Han court does not release the prince again, it is tantamount to admitting that the assassin was sent by them.

At that time, it is not too late for us to elect a new army, and then devote all our national strength to avenge the first emperor and wash away the national shame. ”

Boyan is worthy of being a rare person in both civil and military affairs in Yuan Meng, his mind is clear, and the words he says are also clear, so that hawks or doves have nothing to say.

After seeing this, Boyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he glanced at Murong Ke and motioned for him to stand up and say something, after all, now the people who can deter Mao Dun are left, and only Murong Ke is left in the entire Yuanmeng.

Murong Ke understood what Boyan meant, and immediately stood up and walked to Mao Dun's side, and reprimanded the hawkish ministers: "King Mao Dun is loyal and courageous, how can he take the position of nephew while the prince is still there?" Do you want to stuff the king of Maodun to be disloyal and unjust? ”

Saying that, Murong Ke looked at Mao Dun and asked, "King Mao Dun, do you say yes or no?" ”

Mao Dun, who was lowering his head, heard this, his eyes were suddenly full of killing intent, and then he raised his head and said lightly: "What the general said is that the bones of the first emperor are not cold, and the crown prince is still there, and this Great Yuan Emperor should be the real prince." ”

Hearing this, Murong Ke secretly sighed in his heart, he was really afraid that he would ignore it and forcibly claim the emperor by relying on the support of everyone, so Yuanmeng would definitely fall into infighting and bleed.

"Since King Maodun also thinks so, according to the future, it is better to arrange it like this first, King Maodun and King Wokotai will jointly take charge of the government and stabilize the dynasty, and at the same time send Yelu Chucai as an envoy to send the Han to welcome back His Royal Highness the Prince."

Murong Ke looked at Mao Dun and Wo Kotai and asked, "What do the two kings think?" ”

Wokotai naturally has no opinion, anyway, it is not his turn to pass on the throne, and it is beneficial for him to become the two auxiliary kings together with Mao Dun.

After a moment of contemplation, Mao Dun nodded in agreement.

Since then, after the assassination of Tuo Lei, the biggest internal crisis in Yuanmeng has been temporarily suppressed under the trade-offs of many parties, and a larger crisis is also brewing.

Why didn't Mao Dun immediately extreme, didn't he want to be Emperor Yuan? Of course he wanted to, but the timing was really not right.

The bones of Tuo Lei are not cold, Kublai Khan, the prince, is still alive, if Mao Dun is in such a hurry to become emperor, it will be too difficult to eat, what will the people think of him?

Yuanmeng has undergone Temujin's reforms, and still has the flame of civilization, and it is no longer the barbaric country it once was, and it is impossible to seize the throne just by killing his father and brother, so if Mao Dun wants to succeed, he must occupy morality, otherwise even the hawkish ministers will not support him.

The civilization process of Yuan and Mongolia has become the biggest constraint on Maudun, and Kublai Khan has become the biggest obstacle to Maudun's succession.

If Mao Dun wants to succeed in sitting on the throne of Emperor Yuan, he must destroy these two, but it is impossible to destroy the civilization of Yuan and Meng, so he can only prevent Kublai Khan from returning to China.

"Touman, you've done a good job."

As he spoke, Mao Dun filled the wine glass, handed it to Touman, and said with a light smile: "This is a reward for you." ”

Seeing this, Tou Man's face turned pale with fright, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.

Of course, Touman was also involved in the assassination of Tuolei, after all, if he didn't cooperate with the guard general, how could those dead soldiers enter the hunting ground?

Touman also considered that after the incident, Mao Dun might probably kill him in order not to leave hidden dangers, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Since Mao Dun has a murderous intent, Na Touman will definitely not be able to escape, and if he resists, it will cause trouble to his wife and children, so it is better to sacrifice his life to keep his family safe.

As soon as he thought of this, Touman turned his heart sideways, took the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”

Tou Man thought it was poisonous wine, but after drinking it for a long time, he didn't see the poisonous hair, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

"Haha, Touman, do you think this king gave you poisonous wine? It's just an ordinary Central Plains spirit. ”

Mao Dun patted Touman's shoulder and said with a light smile: "Touman, you are the king's henchman, how can this king not believe in your loyalty, this king will never do such a thing as killing people and destroying your mouth." ”

Touman escaped death, and was immediately ecstatic, and kept kowtowing: "King Xie trusts, Touman will not be able to protect his death." ”

"Alright."

Mao Dun waved his hand disapprovingly, and said lightly: "There is another thing to be handed over to you, this king doesn't want Kublai Khan to come back alive, understand?" ”

"Understand, understand, the last will be arranged."

Tou Man left with a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that the moment he turned around, Mao Dun's eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at him, but in the end he was pressed down, after all, killing his own people at this time must not be conducive to the unity within the hawks.

On the other side, Murong Ke, Jebe, Boyan, Meng Ge, Ali Buge and others gathered together, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

"The death of the first emperor must have nothing to do with King Maodun, and it is very likely that he will blame the Qin army." Boyan said with great certainty.

Meng Ge frowned and shouted, "Boyan, pay attention to your identity, slandering the royal family is a capital crime. ”

Boyan was not afraid at all, and said unhurriedly: "I have a basis for saying this, Qin Hao has a great grandmaster under him, if he really wants to assassinate His Majesty, why should he send ordinary dead soldiers, and he still uses Qin crossbows?" This simply does not make sense.

Think about it, if Your Majesty dies and the prince is hostage in Luoyang, who will benefit the most at that time? ”

"Maudun?" The crowd exclaimed.

"That's right."

A glimmer of light flashed in Boyan's eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "Mao Dun was bent on avenging Qin, but he was denied by His Majesty, and he was whipped fifty lashes, and after only a few days, His Majesty was assassinated and died, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?" ”

"Hiss......"

Everyone gasped, according to what Boyan said, it was Mao Dun who would kill the first emperor but blame the Qin army, and the date of the civil strife in Yuanmeng was really not far away.

"Alright."

Murong Ke stopped everyone and said in a deep voice: "The top priority now is to take back the crown prince, and after the prince comes back to succeed to the throne, everything will be decided by the new emperor." ”

"General, the last general suspects that Mao Dun is very likely to prevent the prince from returning to China, in addition to sending envoys to coordinate, he should also send someone to protect the prince, the Han people may not protect His Royal Highness the prince." Boyan said.

Murong Ke nodded in agreement, his previous words had completely offended Mao Dun, if Mao Dun really became Emperor Yuan, he would definitely kill him in the future with his mind.

Therefore, Murong Ke and Kublai Khan are both mutual saviors, even if it is for self-preservation, Murong Ke must protect Kublai Khan to the death.

"Murong Hua, you will bring people into Han to secretly protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Murong Ke said in a deep voice.

Murong Hua, who had assumed the alias of Guan Yutian, hugged his fists and responded: "No." ”
