Chapter 393: Resignation
Destiny is such a thing, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it.
Brother Tiemu didn't believe in this, although he believed in immortality and talked about immortality every day, but when it was his turn to accept his fate, he wouldn't do it.
Temuge's youngest son, Genghis Khan's youngest brother, is six years younger than Temujin, and he is seventy-nine years old this year.
This is a fierce man, worthy of Genghis Khan's own brother, fighting like a lion, for the vast territory of the Great Mongolia, set up a great merit, according to the Mongolian young son inheritance of his father's property custom, his fief in the west of the Great Khing'an Mountains, south of the beautiful Hailar River to the fertile area of the Harakha River valley.
is old, the territory is also big, and he doesn't have to go out to fight and die at a great age, and he can enjoy his old age in his rich territory, and he did the same, when Genghis Khan died and the dragons were leaderless, he also stepped forward and contributed to the golden family as a patriarch, helping the prince Wokotai to sit firmly in the sweat position.
But when Emperor Taizong Ogedei Khan also died, the situation changed suddenly.
Guiyou Khan, who came to power, was supported by the empress of Γgedei, Naima Zhen, and the crown prince who was really appointed by Γgedei lost his throne and lost his throne, which caused a great division among the Mongolian nobles and chaos on the steppe.
Many careerists suddenly have an idea.
And the last year of the wind and candle is also one of them.
It stands to reason that at his age, he should cultivate himself and nurture his life, and he can't fight hard with his stiff body for the position of the Great Khan that everyone peeps at.
However, rights are tempting, especially those who have tasted the taste of rights, they can't stop it, and all they want to do is to climb a little higher to obtain higher rights.
Hu Chijin is already a prince, and if he climbs a little higher, he can only be a big sweat.
Originally, the idea of becoming the Great Khan was just a very hidden thought in his heart when he was young, and he never dared to expose it in front of people, because his fierce brother Temujin was so powerful that he saw with his own eyes the miserable fate of many Mongol princes who intended to be unfavorable to Temujin and his sons.
But Temujin is dead, Ogedei is dead, and he is still alive, and that's it.
The first to put forward the idea of snatching the throne was his son Dedie, who was a careerist, unwilling to be gradually marginalized, he had ambition, he had the courage to strategize, and he wanted to make the Chijin lineage, like Temujin, stand in the highest position in the Great Mongolia.
Of course, there must be someone else who made him think about this, otherwise this reckless man who only knows how to chase wild wolves on the grassland, with a brain that is only a little bigger than the tip of a needle, would not have thought of this layer.
This person is a Han man.
The weather-beaten face of the dog Li Gui was being lifted from a copper container as big as a basin, and the basin was filled with high-grade mare's milk.
"Mr. Li, is it delicious?" Sitting on the comfortable wool cushion in his luxury tent, he looked at Li Gui cross-legged and asked earnestly.
"It's delicious." The dog had a beard and a thick beard, and although he did not have such a broad forehead and small eyes, from a distance, the dog in a leather robe looked very similar to that of an ordinary Mongolian.
He smiled smugly and said, "That's right, I know you're coming back, so I specially chose the best mare in my tribe, and pinched some of the milk, which was delicious." β
The dog hurriedly got up and thanked him: "The prince's good intentions, the villain is toothless and unforgettable!" β
"Sit, sit, you don't have to be so angry." Detachment waved his hand: "You and my close friend, we have long treated you as a Han person, but as our own person, since we are our own people, of course we should send our best things to entertain, this is the rule on the grassland." β
The dog sat down with a smile and arched his hand again: "To be so highly regarded by the prince, Li Gui is terrified." β
"You deserve it." Dedie said a vague perfunctory sentence, and then hurriedly turned his body to the side, avoided the left and right and asked urgently, "How is it?" Is there any news from Batu? β
Li Gui smiled, tore open the mezzanine of the leather robe on his body, and found a letter from the flesh inside.
He looked at it directly, as if he was about to stick out of his throat.
Li Gui was not in a hurry, and slowly took out the letter and unfolded it in the air, but it was a blank piece of paper.
He was not in a hurry, he was in a hurry to take off, but he was not surprised to see the white paper, he looked at it patiently, waiting for Li Gui's backhand.
Sure enough, Li Gui took out an incense stick from his body, lit it and smoked it back and forth under the letter, the incense was very intoxicating, and he thought that if he offered this incense to sacrifice to the Immortal Heaven in front of the Obo pile, it would be excellent, and it would be a pity to use it like this.
Li Gui didn't cherish this good-smelling fragrance at all, and after smoking it roughly, the handwriting slowly appeared on the white paper.
Looking at this mysterious and mysterious technique, he was amazed and said sincerely: "Mr. Li, your Han people's methods are really clever, how did you do it?" β
Li Gui smiled mysteriously, put the incense back into his pocket, and said, "It's just a trick, the prince doesn't have to stick to these details, see how it is written on it is the right way." β
"Yes, yes!" Coming to his senses, he quickly took the letter, looked at it seriously, looked at it, and couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha! God help me! Batu was really fooled! Jumping up, jumping three feet high: "Go, go!" Mr. Li, come with me to see my father! β
His father, naturally, is Brother Tiemu, the residence of the two is far apart, Li Gui came here first because of his current identity, he is the judge of the detachment.
It may sound like a judge or something, but in fact, in Great Mongolia, the judge is a position of great power, the master of administrative power, and generally speaking, Han Chinese will not appear in this position.
But Li Gui became a man, and he still trusted him very much.
Why? Because Li Gui will make money.
Behind Li Gui, stands the huge Ruifuxiang Commercial Bank, which has long grown from a paper monopoly in the Hezhou period to an almost monopolistic large commercial bank, involving all walks of life, and its influence can be seen everywhere.
Li Gui trafficked the salt, tea, ironware, and porcelain that were urgently needed for destacking, and exchanged them for cattle and horses, and transported them back to Shandong. In Shandong, the original Li Quan and other red jacket troops, and then Shi Tianze's rule in Hebei and Shandong, Rui Fuxiang was in business, and these forces had dealings, money, everyone loved, Rui Fuxiang and these forces dividends to make money, mixed with the wind and water.
Destacking was originally a soil overlord, eating and waiting for death every day, and after getting the benefits of Li Gui, he found out that this person turned out to be a cornucopia, with him, he was originally stripped of a few dollars by the tax and had a bulging pocket, and if he had money, he could buy good things, armor and weapons, all replaced with excellent goods, and his life became fat.
After just a year of investigation, he deeply believes that this Han man is a shrewd and usable person, and there is no need to bury him with a humble eye, on the contrary, he should be promoted, let him work for me, and make me more money.
So as a judge, Li Gui was logical, and he was proud, feeling that he had used a fictitious position to envelop a capable person, which was really smart.
At this time, he happily took Li Gui on the horse and ran to the big tent where his father Brother Temu was located, and the excitement was beyond words.
And Li Gui's excitement is also very strong.
Two people who were very happy, running side by side and leaving.
