It didn't take long for the prince with official positions and military power and some of the main officials and generals in the royal court to come, including the eldest prince Erak of the Zuoxian King, the second prince of the Right Xianwang Enek, the little prince Deng Zhixike, the eighth prince of the right valley of the king Ernack, Attila's chief confidential secretary Onigseus, the chief secretary of Constantius, and the state secretary Orlistes, don't look at them as just secretaries, these three secretaries are in charge of many barbarian armies that have been attached to the Hun Empire, and they are all people with military power, The strength is not trivial and should not be underestimated.

In addition to the four princes and three secretaries, there were also the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Scotta, the left general, the Ostrogothic king Valamir, the right general, the king of Gerpid Aldarik, the left captain, the king of Skir Edika, the right captain Sambus, the left bone Hou Valla, the right bone Hou Biyehu were all present, and the left big Danghu Urgan and the right big Danghu Itur couldn't come because they were far away from the station, and all the important Hun officials who came to the wedding banquet basically came.

Although Attila is fierce and cunning, his broad-mindedness is not comparable to ordinary people, more than half of the important generals and officials under his command are foreigners, and he can appoint foreigners as the left and right generals and left and right captains, for example, the left general Valamir is the Ostrogothic king, mainly responsible for the affairs of the Persians and Alans in the east, the right general Aldaric is the king of Gerpid, responsible for the west from the Atlantic coast to the Hungarian plain, the area north of the Rhine, the left commander Edika is the king of Skir, In charge of the affairs of the Balkans, Edika is of Hun descent, and the right lieutenant Sambus is a Huns.

As expected, the shaman did not find the true cause of Attila's death after examination, and he got up and scanned everyone before announcing: "Da Dan died of suffocation due to the bursting of blood vessels caused by excessive drinking, and blood flowed back into the trachea."

This result made most people breathe a sigh of relief, but also made many people dissatisfied, if Attila was murdered and died, the matter would be a big deal, the Hun court would definitely have a big cha, as long as the murderer was caught, the murderer would definitely die a miserable death, and the main messenger would definitely not end well, even if the mastermind behind the scenes was the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, the Huns would definitely fight to the death with the strength of the whole country, and the Roman Empire would never stop if it was not destroyed, and now the shaman announced that Attila was not murdered but died of nature, so even if someone is dissatisfied, There is no excuse for wanting to stir up trouble.

Qin Dong had already vaguely guessed the real reason for Attila's death, but he was not sure yet, it would take time to verify, and it was unknown who the murderer was behind the scenes, what he should do to get the most benefit for himself was what he should consider at present.

He is not worried that because the announcement of the results will cause civil strife in the Huns, Attila is dead, and the civil strife in the Huns is a matter of time, and Erak has no ability to subdue his many brothers and his barbarian generals, and he is not worried that because of the civil strife in the Huns, it will cause the Eastern and Western Roman Empires and Visigoths, Franks and other countries to attack the Huns, the Eastern and Western Roman Empires are too busy to take care of themselves, their country is full of barbarian harassment, and they have no strength to fight the Hun Empire, and the Visigothic and Frankish barbarian countries have long been afraid of the Huns, In their opinion, external forces could not destroy the Xiongnu Empire at all, and only by letting them have internal strife can they fundamentally disintegrate this huge military empire.

In fact, it is true that no country can make the Xiongnu Empire afraid, no country in Europe, including the Roman Empire, dares to take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu Empire is indeed because of the internal strife that caused the internal barbarian rebellion and perished.

Qin Dong came back to his senses and found that Attila's new wife had been taken out, and no one ordered to kill this woman, and then Attila's chief guard, Kreid, led dozens of guards around the big bed, they took out a knife and cut off their own hair and put it around Attila's corpse, and cut their cheeks with knives to let the blood flow, they mourned the dead king of kings, the god of gods, and the greatest Hun king Attila in this way.

Mourning their monarch with the blood of warriors is a very different way of mourning than all other civilized countries, where when the king dies, the subjects will wear linen and filial piety, cry loudly, and be heartbroken, which is the case with the Huns.

The blood memorial was soon over, and the chief of guard and his men stepped aside to look after Attila's body, now it was the princes and ministers to dispose of it.

Attila's sudden death created a huge power vacuum in the Hun Empire, which made the princes and ministers very unaccustomed, but the priority was to deal with Attila's aftermath.

As Attila's eldest son, Erak was the first to speak, because there was Attila before, Erak was very afraid of his father, in front of his father, Erak has always been very cautious, when the two were together, Erak always kept his head down, and now that Attila is dead, Erak is no longer afraid of anyone, at this time his bearing as a great prince came out, and he ordered: "Order, kill the cows and sheep immediately, prepare the wine, and hold a bonfire tonight, don't get drunk and don't return!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Zuoxian!" An official was born immediately and promised.

The other ministers seemed to have known that this was the case, but Qin Dong was stunned, Attila was dead, shouldn't all the princes, Attila's ** concubines and ministers be sad and wear filial piety? Why do you want to kill cattle and sheep instead, as if it is a table of celebration?

After thinking about it, Qin Dong really found the answer from the memory of the original owner of the body, it turned out that these Hu people, who were mainly Huns, did not engage in wearing linen and filial piety after the death of the king, but wanted to kill cattle and sheep to hold a bonfire meeting, and everyone had to get drunk, this way of sacrificing was really unheard of.

After the arrangement was completed, starting with the eldest prince Erak, all the ministers and generals withdrew from Attila's dormitory in turn, leaving only his guards and wives inside, the guards were responsible for guarding Attila's body, while his wives began to change clothes and makeup for the corpse, and Qin Dong also withdrew from the dormitory with the eldest prince.

Out of the dormitory, under the leadership of the eldest prince, the ministers and generals all walked towards the main hall, the ministers walked together in groups of three and five in a group and whispered with a stern expression, Attila's sudden death made these loyal followers of him at a loss, especially the Ostrogothic king Valamir, the king of Gepid Ardarik, and the king of Skir Edika, although their status is not low, and their positions in the entire Xiongnu regime are very high, but after all, they are all foreign leaders who surrendered, Attila trusted them very much when he was there, and they were also very loyal to Attila, and they were never bought by other countries and forces, but the situation was different as soon as Attila died, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, once a son of heaven and a courtier, who knows how the successor Hun king will treat them?

And the other Romans and Greeks, such as the chief confidential secretary Onigseus, the chief secretary Constantius, the secretary of state Orlistes, the chancellor of the exchequer Scotta, and the other officials of the Huns, are now faced with the question of whether to support the eldest prince Erac, or the second prince Enek, or the younger prince Deng Zhisik.

The Huns believed that the sage was "Tu Qi", so the crown prince of the Xiongnu was the king of Zuo Tu Qi, and had the absolute qualification to inherit the position of Shan Yu, but the eldest prince Elak was not named the king of Zuo Tu Qi by Attila, so the problem came, since Erak was not the prince, then his qualification to inherit the position of Shan Yu was not absolute, and other princes also had the qualifications to inherit, of course, according to tradition, plus the sudden death of Attila, it should be inherited by the eldest prince Erak, However, other princes can also refuse to recognize Erac as the heir on the grounds that the eldest prince is not the crown prince, and the rest is complicated.
