"What about this question......" Looking at the handsome young Ming official in front of him, Dacheng Biji hesitated. Of course, she hopes that her husband will inherit the throne of Khan Naji (inheriting the throne and being recognized by the Tatars, he can naturally inherit the throne of King Shunyi smoothly), but because Altan Khan did not leave a will, and there was a precedent of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, it was very difficult to inherit the throne.

The meaning of Khan Naji is to entangle the leaders of the rest of the tribes to force Mrs. Zhong Jin to release Xin Ai, and then convene a meeting of Kuritai to elect Xin Ai, who is most qualified to inherit the Khan's throne, to the throne.

But she did not agree with the idea of Khan Naji, Mrs. Zhong Jin assisted Altan Khan for many years, and her prestige was very high, and after the Great Khan was seriously ill last year, the decrees were all made by him, coupled with the trust of the Ming Dynasty, the probability of success of the idea of wanting to nominate him to inherit the throne of Shunyi was still very high.

As a very important party, choosing to take sides at this moment is definitely not the best choice.

She would rather Xin Ai and Mrs. Zhong Jin fight for the head and bleed, and both lose.

It's just such a thought, how can she talk to a Ming official who has just met.

The succession to the Mongol throne is more complicated, but in most cases it is necessary to follow the legacy of the previous Great Khan. For example, the succession of Ogedai was established by Genghis Khan's last words. However, even if the great Genghis Khan was established, Ögedai did not mean that he would become the Great Khan immediately, and he would have to go through the election of the tribal leaders of the Kuritai Council. If the election results are not, he will not be able to do it.

After the death of Genghis Khan, he was supervised by Tuolei for two years, and it was only with the consent of Tuolei that the Kuritai Conference was held and Wokotai was elected.

So what do people look at when they are elected?

It's ability and feats.

After Guiyou's death, Guiyou's son was supposed to take over the throne, but everyone chose Meng Ge, and the reason for this was that in addition to Meng Ge's strong ability and high military achievements, the strength of Batu who supported him was also very strong.

Now let's talk about the most important point, in addition to military exploits and ability, there is also a tradition of young sons guarding the stove in the Mongolian concept, which is different from the Han primogeniture system.

This traditional belief led to at least three wars over the Mongol succession.

For the first time, Tuo Lei was the youngest son of Genghis Khan, so it was later that his son Meng Ge competed for the throne.

The second time, Möngke's younger brother Ali Buge felt that he was a young son, and after Möngke's death, he was promoted by the nobles to the Great Khan, and as a result, he fought with Kublai Khan.

Another time was because of Temuge, who felt that he was the youngest brother of Genghis Khan, and after the death of Ogedei, he also rebelled and was finally suppressed.

To sum up, Dacheng Biji is actually not optimistic about Xin Ai in his heart.

Far from it.

How to say that Zhang You is also the life-saving benefactor of Khan Naji, if someone else asked Dacheng Biji this question, she would have asked someone to drag him down and whip him.

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly spoke: "If it weren't for the fact that my husband's accident was just a coincidence, I would really be a little suspicious of Mr. Zhao...... Well, just kidding, this question is more sensitive, Mr. Zhao is an official of the Ming Dynasty, and before I answer you, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao's opinion. ”

Asking this question, Zhang You couldn't think it through, but after Dacheng Biji hesitated, he had already figured out that Guihua City was now under the control of Mrs. Zhong Jin, and it was difficult to rescue Xin Ai Huang Taiji and Sumya by himself, so that Khan Naji's attitude was very critical, and with the life-saving credit that happened to bump into, he was likely to become a killer weapon to turn things around.

If you want to ask for help, you must be honest.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "I have long heard that Taiji has a virtuous helper, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Well, since Madame has asked me, I'll give you my opinion. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, in the selection of the throne of the King of Shunyi, he naturally had to follow a purpose, that is, to be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. I think the best way is to provoke contradictions among you, and at the same time control the conflict within a certain range, at least not to affect the hard-won peace between Mongolia and Han. From this point of view, in fact, it doesn't matter who inherits the king of Shunyi, it's okay to love Huang Taiji, it's okay if he doesn't be rude, and even Khan Naji Taiji can be. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped, stared at Dacheng Biji intently, and said meaningfully: "I don't know if Madame is still satisfied with my answer?" ”

"Are you saying that as long as my husband swears allegiance to the Ming court, the Ming will also be willing to support him in inheriting the throne of King Shunyi?"

"What do you say?" Zhang You didn't answer the rhetorical question, his face was smiling, full of bewilderment.

After a short period of surprise, Dacheng Biji quickly calmed down and said, "Mr. Zhao, with all due respect, you are just a subordinate of the deputy envoy Lord Luo Sigong, it seems that it is not enough to influence the decision-making of Da Mingzi, right?" ”

Zhao Ziming is just a small Qianhu, so naturally he can't influence the decision-making of Da Mingzi, and this identity is what Zhang You is impersonating, so it is not surprising that Dacheng Biji has this idea.

Zhang You didn't explain, but said: "It seems that Taiji has always been indifferent to Xin Ai Huang Taiji's house arrest, and he really has his own thoughts, and that question no longer needs to be answered by Madame." ”

As he spoke, he changed his words: "As for me, I may not be able to influence the decision-making of His Majesty the Son of Tomorrow, but most of my family's governors can do it, and the two superficial medical skills I know are taught by the governor, and the lady ponders it herself, what is the relationship between me and the governor?" ”

That's right, that Zhang You is a celebrity of the great tomorrow, if he has his support, there is really hope of competing for the throne of Shunyi.

Dacheng Biji's heart was racing, and suddenly a question came to mind: "Okay, even if you are very appreciated by the Metropolitan Governor, but don't forget, the Metropolitan Governor is Anda who loves Huang Taiji, and if Xin Ai Huang Taiji does not support it, will he choose to support my husband?" ”

"Madame knows my Chinese culture very well, I don't know if I have ever heard such a sentence: 'Wealth and wealth are sought in danger', in any case, for you, if you can get the favor of the Grand Duke, even if the Japanese and late auspicious people cannot inherit the throne, it is always a thing that has more advantages than disadvantages, right?"

"It's true." Zhang You's fame is too great, and Dacheng Biji has no doubts about this sentence.

"Isn't that what it takes? Since we met, I have a reluctant request, let's join forces and find a way to rescue Xin Ai Huang Taiji, you can get the favor of the Governor because of this, and I can also make a great contribution, I don't know what Mrs. wants? ”

Before Dacheng Biji could reply, the subordinate suddenly came in and replied: "Tell Mrs., someone from Hohhot is here, it is Mrs. Zhong Jin's most trusted advisor Qin Wenlong, who is waiting outside the mansion, I don't know if Mrs. will see it?" ”

Zhang You heard of this name, and was stunned when he heard it, what is he doing here, wouldn't he be a lobbyist for Mrs. Zhong Jin?
