Chapter 302: Heavenly Khan
"It is really rare to have such a monarch who is industrious and thrifty and simple. It is also an honor for the Mongols to be able to be his people www.biquge.info After listening to Su Ji's words, Lu Xiaoyu's impression of this Mongolian Heavenly Khan improved slightly, at least he was not an arrogant and lascivious king.
is about to enter the Mongolian palace, and the carriage must get off and enter it according to the regulations at the gate of the palace. Tell you about the current political situation of the candidates and Wu Linren Mongolia, so that they can find the right person in it to better carry out alliance activities.
It turned out that although Mongolia was now led by their Heavenly Khan Temugetu, there was one person who could not be ignored was his brother-in-law Zamuhe, who was the sworn brother who fought the world with him at that time. Now Temugetu has become the king of the steppe, and Zamuhe has also become the Khan of the land. However, as the power of the Heavenly Khan grew day by day, Zamuhe, who was the Earth Khan, began to feel unbalanced. Uniting a group of ministers and Temugetu often worked against each other.
Although Zamuhe often embarrassed him, Temugetu still couldn't bear to kill this righteous brother, and often indulged him to do what he liked. The previous invasion of the Western Xia border was also invaded by him and his soldiers. Temugetu also found out at the time, but he would rather the Tanguts misunderstand him than put the blame on his own brother-in-law.
In the Wan'an Palace, Zamuhe heard that Princess Siqin personally brought the Xixia envoy to the palace, and his face was pale, and Temugetu sat there very calmly drinking mare's milk wine, until Agoura came to report that he was going to give the Xixia envoys a horse today, and as a result, one of them really conquered his most beloved horse, and according to the previous agreement, as long as someone in the Xixia envoy group could conquer any of the horses, this horse would be given to him as a gift. How could Temugetu, who loved horses like this, allow such a thing to happen, he was furious and shocked, there was still someone in the world who could subdue one of the ten fierce horses under his command, and it was still his most beloved little red horse, and this person was still a Western Xia person.
Even if Temugetu can endure it, he will go out to see the true face of the kid who conquered the fierce horse, and this is not just a matter of sending a horse. He once thought that when his daughter Princess Siqin chose a horse, he would use this horse as a reference, and whoever could conquer this horse would be the candidate for the horse. Now inexplicably, this horse has been conquered by an envoy from Western Xia, isn't it too child's play? Do you want to marry your daughter to this person, he also heard from Agoura that Princess Siqin is ready to come in and plead with him for a while, asking him to transfer this fierce horse to this person, will the princess really be emotional about this boy from Xixia? No, I'll have to go over and see it.
Seeing that his brother-in-law was about to go outside after listening to Agoura's report, he hurriedly chased him out and asked, "Brother, what's the matter, didn't you say that you would wait for them in this palace?" We can't let those Northwesterners think we're succumbing to them. ”
"Brother Yi, you don't understand, I have something to confirm, it's best for you to go with me, if you want to stay here and wait for us to come, I won't force you." Saying that Tian Khan Temugetu took his entourage directly to the main gate of the palace, Zamuhe saw that his brother-in-law had already taken the initiative to meet the Western Xia mission, and if he didn't follow as the land khan of Mongolia, he would provoke others to gossip, so he had to sigh and follow after thinking about it.
At this time, the Western Xia delegation was still admiring the Mongolian imperial palace under the introduction of Princess Siqin, although it was not built with civil engineering like the imperial palaces of other countries, but this unique architectural style similar to the yurt-like steppe made everyone deeply affected. Some of the exquisite carvings and paintings also amazed the mission.
Everyone came in for a long time, and they had already discovered a problem, that is, except for Princess Siqin, who took the initiative to greet them, there was no one else in the palace to welcome them, and the wise and martial Heavenly Khan Temugetu in Mongolian legends did not see him.
This made Wu Linren, the leader of the Western Xia mission, a little unhappy, he asked Su Ji to translate to Princess Siqin, he had always heard that Mongolia was very hospitable, why did the Western Xia envoy to Mongolia so sincerely this time, but only Her Royal Highness the princess came to greet them, and they didn't see the figure of Tian Khan. Isn't this too much to look down on us Tanguts, and how can the alliance between the two countries continue like this?
After listening to what the translator said, Princess Siqin naturally knew why her father Khan did not come out, on the one hand, she was bewitched by the local khan Zamuhe, thinking that now Mongolia has the Khitan as a big backer, and other countries like Western Xia and Southern Chu can be ignored, so since they took the initiative to form an alliance with us, then we just need to sit there comfortably and wait for them to come.
On the other hand, it is related to the life experience of Tian Khan, it turns out that Temugetu was born in the most powerful years of the Western Xia Dynasty, half of Mongolia was occupied by the Western Xia and the other half was divided by the Khitan, and the tribe where Temugetu belonged to the Western Xia. Later, because his father was killed, the department was scattered. Through continuous efforts, they united with Zamuhe and his father's Antacha Ganbala, reorganized the Suyan (their tribe), and finally slowly developed and finally unified Mongolia.
The reason why the contradiction between Mongolia and Western Xia is deeper than that of the Khitan is because of the hypocrisy of the Khitan Emperor Yelu Hongye, and the rulers of the Western Xia are burning, killing and looting in an open and honest manner. At that time, the northwestern part of Mongolia was under Western Xia rule. The northern and southern grasslands of the desert are independent and do not belong to each other. The Western Xia implemented a policy of "divide and rule" and "reduce the number of dings" by massacring and plundering.
Although this is also the reason why Temugetu was able to quickly eliminate competitors and quickly stand out in Mongolia, which is full of talents, but the thought of being oppressed by the Western Xia rule made Temugetu very unwilling.
So he didn't want to come out to greet him this time, if it weren't for the fact that the kid who conquered the fierce horse and his daughter were now accompanying the mission, he wouldn't want to see the Western Xia mission.
So when Wu Linren asked the reason why Tian Khan didn't come out, Princess Siqin's expression was slightly embarrassed, she thought about it and said very apologetically: "All the envoys of Western Xia are really sorry, my father is not in good health today and can't come out to meet guests, so I am appointed to receive you, please forgive me." ”
At this time, a loud voice came out in front of me, "Who said that I am sick, I am in good health!" ”
