Chapter 47: Succession
When Burhan took the arrow that had shot his father, Batu Bagan immediately recognized whose object it was. www.biquge.info He stepped forward and said to Burhan, "Childe, can you let the lowly take a look at this arrow?" Burhan was a little surprised, but handed it to Batu Bagan. After careful scrutiny, he finally confirmed whose it was.
"Childe, I think I know the owner of this arrow, so he is the real murderer of the leader." Hearing this, Burhan was very excited, although he already had a suspect in his heart, but after all, he had not been confirmed, and it was difficult to make this decision. Even Yang Caini and her two younger brothers stared at Batu Bagen with wide eyes, hoping to get clues from his mouth.
"Childe, if this arrow is not bad as I expected, it should belong to the Deduo of the Turgot Department!"
"Deduo?" Burhan's nails had sunk into the flesh, and he kept saying the name of Toduo in his mouth, and he wanted to lead his troops to kill this evil man at once. At the same time, I kept recalling the situation of the battlefield that day. Yes, the more Bourhan thinks that the leader is more like Deduo, which is probably a psychological suggestion!
There are also nobles who do not believe it, and they still have illusions about the Turks. "Toduo is very conceited, so the arrows he uses are more than twice as heavy as ordinary arrows, and they are made of fine iron, so they are the same size as ordinary arrows." The most important thing is that this arrow is made by hand, and in order to increase the lethality, it is specially made into a wolf tooth arrow and has a blood channeling slot. After Batu Bagen finished speaking, several nobles also came forward to observe, and sure enough, as he said, he was convinced.
Burhan held the arrow tightly in his hand, solemnly knelt down in the direction of Burhan Mountain, and swore "I, Burhan. Giaksen swore to Immortal Heaven that I would kill the hungry wolf Toduo with my own hands to avenge my father's murder, and ask Immortal Heaven as a proof. The blurred eyes exuded a gloomy gaze, causing the surrounding nobles to retreat one after another, not daring to get too close.
After Burhan swore to the Immortal Heaven, Batu Bagen also knelt down and swore "I! Batu Bagen is willing to follow Burhan all his life, and if there is betrayal, it will be like this knife. After speaking, he broke the knife he was carrying with him in two. The implication of Batu Bagan's doing so was that he had already recognized Burhan as the new leader of the Ghchiti tribe. When the other nobles saw this, they also swore an oath to follow Burhan to the death, following Batu Bagan.
This is probably the best result so far. Alert's soul returned to heaven, Wu Rizhao's life and death are unknown, and only two people can preside over the overall situation, Burhan and Batu Bagan, and now Batu Bagen is the first to withdraw, which is really a smart decision. Although Kali is still in the purple mud, but the Chinasi is there, which means that no one can shake the status of Burhan.
The Iragon siblings, who also received the news, also arrived at this time. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Alette lying on the bed with a dark face, although the little girl had never seen a dead person, but she could also understand from Yang Caini's godless eyes that the British lord of the Hechi Ti Department was Alert. Ba Yuer went. When she saw this, she threw herself into the arms of her brother Iragon. In the end, the boy still has to be stronger, and Iragon is a little surprised in addition to grief, who dares to ambush the men and horses of the Hechiti tribe, and even Alett is killed in battle? For a moment, an ominous premonition quickly rose in his mind.
"Burhan, where is my Abba?" Iragon was so agitated that he did something out of the ordinary, and he asked, lifting Burhan's collar.
Iragon himself had brute strength, and at this time, coupled with emotion, it was conceivable that Burhan was like a chicken in his hands, and Batu Bagen quickly stepped forward to stop him. Anyway, Burhan is also the leader they consider, and it is not beneficial for Eragon to do this, and he will even be implicated in the end.
Burhan looked at Kuran, who apparently wanted the answer as well. Burhan couldn't hold back his tears, he looked up and tried not to let them fall, and turned his back to everyone. Later, he drew a small arrow from behind him and handed it to Eragon.
The two siblings caught the arrow almost at the same time, which reminded them of Abba's words.
"Abba, how is this arrow of yours different from the others?" Iragorn, who was still a child, took the arrow and asked his father curiously. Wu Rizhao looked at it for a while, then affectionately stroked the little heads of the two children and said, "Child, remember that every nobleman has his proud side, and he wants to be different. Therefore, everyone's arrows have their own traces, so that the prey will not be impersonated. And this arrow is different from Abba's others, because Abba wants to leave it for you. Use it," Wu Rizhao solemnly picked up the arrow and said to the two siblings, "Use it to kill Abba's enemy!" ”
When they were children, they didn't understand it, but now they understand when they see this arrow. Wu Rizhao's greatest ideal is to die on the battlefield, and what he left to his son is this small arrow that heralds the continuation of hatred.
Of course, the other nobles didn't know what special meaning it contained, but they all had the same, and they always had a small arrow for future generations, which was probably the reason for the hatred of the grassland tribes, right?
"Burhan tell me, did my Abba die in battle?" Iragorn had tears on his face.
"At that time, we were attacked by someone, and my father was also wounded by an arrow, and Uncle Wu Rizhao personally led people to block the enemy in order to allow us to break through, and the last time I saw him was he who shot this little arrow, and then joined the battle group. I don't know what happened after that. ”
Listening to Burhan's words, Iragon smiled. "In other words, you didn't see my Abba die in battle, did you?" Burhan nodded silently. To be honest, he still hoped from the bottom of his heart that Wu Rizhao would be able to break through successfully, after all, the elite of the Hechi Ti Department might not be able to withstand the attack of the thieves, but it was not a problem to break through.
This is good news for everyone. But the next thing is troublesome, Urizhao is the Anda of Alet, and he is also the deputy of the Hechiti Ministry, and Burhan is the eldest son of Alet, and the nobles will inevitably have differences in the choice. Although Wu Rizhao still does not know life and death, there is one thing that is clear, that is, Wu Rizhao's in-law Batu Bagen, his family is very influential in the Hechiti Department, if Batu Bagen supports Wu Rizhao, can Burhan withstand this huge pressure without the help of his relatives?
The room suddenly fell silent, and the nobles who couldn't make up their minds all looked at each other, and they were all waiting for the first bird. Whether it is supporting Burhan or Uzhzhao Batu Batu is a key, how can others dare to express their stance if this giant does not speak? If you want to complain, you will blame Alert for not being able to set an heir before he died, but whispered to his wife.
People's eyes couldn't help but focus on Batu Bagen, and he was a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself, "Why do you need to think about this?" One side is a ready-made heir, and the other is still uncertain, so the Hechi Ti Department can't wait for an uncertain leader, right? ”
He lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee and said, "A family cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day." Please inherit the leader's will and lead the Hechi Ti Department to reproduce the glory of Genghis Khan's era. ”
Those little nobles who were still swaying were dumbfounded when they saw this, Batu Bagen couldn't be crazy, right? Even if you don't be the leader, you should still elect Wu Rizhao! Aren't you two one nostril out of the air? What's going on with such a result? And the nobles who support Burhan are even more eager for Batu to root like this! At present, the two are Guo Wei and Wu Liji, and if Kali is here, it will not be the turn of the two to speak, but the current situation really needs someone to drive it. After the two glanced at each other, they also learned from Batu Bagen and knelt down and said, "Please inherit the will of the leader and lead the Chiti Department to reproduce the glory of Genghis Khan's era." ”
As soon as someone makes a start, it's like dominoes, and there is a chain reaction. Just now, Iragon had some hope in his heart, but after Batu Bagen said something, he knew that there was no hope for their family. At the same time, he also remembered his father's admonition, and if he couldn't resist, it was better to obey, so he slowly knelt down. Iragon's actions were the straw that crushed some people's hopes. Eventually, the tribal nobles asked Burhan to succeed to the throne, not only for the sake of the Hechiti tribe, but also for themselves.
Burhan took the throne, so to speak, "the hope of all", and under the unanimous appeal of all the nobles, he finally ascended to the throne of the chief, which also heralded the end of the era of Alet.
The next day, people wrapped Alet's body in white felt and headed for the cemetery that had been chosen. In fact, Burhan could have given Alert a Han-style funeral, but thinking that it was also to respect the customs of the Mongols to bring Alert closer to the Immortal Heaven, he finally chose a place to the east of Blackwater City to build an Aobao cemetery for Alert. First, it is for the convenience of future generations to worship, and second, Ao Bao is sacred to the Mongols and is not easy to be desecrated. In this way, Alet's soul can rest in peace.
After Alet's burial, the tribal shaman began to drape the sacred flag and dance a unique dance, similar to the French style of the Han Chinese. All the people of the Hechiti tribe piled stones on the cemetery one after another according to their status. Finally, it was Burkhand who stuck the spear of Suruddin with his own blood on it, which was the blood oath of the Mongol tribe.
At the same time, in front of Alert's cemetery, the succession ceremony of Burhan was also carried out. Burhan received the wolf's head scimitar, which symbolized the supreme head of the Hechiti tribe, from Batu Bagan. This is the ** that Alert later asked Alimu to build, and the previous handle is what Burhan is using now, and it is what Alert gave to Burhan back then. Looking at Bourhan, who strode towards the "throne" to show the majesty of the leader, Yang Caini didn't know whether to be happy or cry? She died of her husband, but her son became the leader, and everything happened to her.
Then the people began to cheer. As long as the leader of the clan is there, there will be no chaos, and the Hechiti tribe is still everyone's warmest home. Such a happy occasion was really not suitable for Yang Caini, and she left accompanied by Lin Xiaoniang.
When he returned home in the evening, he saw that his mother seemed to be much older, and the death of Arlett made her haggard at once. As the saying goes, women are those who please themselves. Now that he can't see her anymore, he feels like something is missing in his life.
Burhan brought his new daughter-in-law to greet his mother, hoping to make her happy. Burhan took Naoyan Zhu Dan's hand, walked to his mother's side, knelt down and said, "Mother, this is Naoyan Zhu Dan, who is already my wife." Zhu Dan came to meet his mother. "Burhan didn't say that it was better, but when he said it, his mother got angry. She cried, pointed to Burhan and said, "Are you happy now?" Your Abba was plotted to marry her for you. And now that your Abba has just entered the ground, you have brought her here, what are you going to do? Although Yang Caini didn't mean to blame Naoyan Zhu Dan in her heart, she just couldn't help but have such logic.
Naoyan Zhu Dan is also a lovely person, she immediately realized her mother-in-law's feelings, forcibly suppressed Burhan's plan to stand up for her, and said in a low voice, "Mother, it's Naoyan who doesn't want to make you angry." Naoyan just left. Yang Caini didn't know what was wrong with her, she really hoped that she would leave, but she had to take into account her son's feelings, so she endured the discomfort and said, "Forget it!" It's time to see the courtesy, I'm tired of you going back! ”
Knowing his mother's temper, Burhan instructed Mrs. Lin to lead her back to her house. After going back, he hugged his beloved wife, felt that she had lost a lot, and was about to comfort her, but his wife gagged her with her hand. I heard Naoyan Zhu Dan say, "You don't have to say anything to me, I know that Grandma is uncomfortable now, that's why it's like this, it's okay, really." ”
Seeing that his wife was so reasonable, Burhan didn't say anything, but silently felt relieved in his heart.
