Uliangha, the seat of the court of the Tatar Khan. For the Tatars, Uliangha was like the meaning of the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi to the Han Chinese.

Dayan Khan was seriously ill, and all his six sons and one daughter came to Uliangha. Originally, Dayan Khan had seven sons and one daughter, but because the third prince made a mistake in the Ming Dynasty, he did not return to Tatar alive in the end.

Compared with Zhu Houzhao, Dayan Khan's fertility is much stronger. However, since ancient times, it has not been a good thing for an emperor to be too incapable of giving birth or being too capable of giving birth. It is easy to inherit the throne without children like Zhu Houzhao, and it is precisely for this reason that most of the royal family relatives covet the throne, which makes the national situation turbulent.

But like Dayan Khan, it is easy to cause room-mates and fratricidal brothers.

When his father fell ill, six sons and one daughter immediately came to visit. This sounds like a picture of a father loving and filial piety, but because of the arrival of these seven people, the entire Uliangha began to get nervous.

On the periphery of the Uliangha Division, six large armies were stationed separately, all of them in armor, sharpening knives and guns, and waiting for the day. Waiting for the news to come out of the city, and then they immediately entered the city to snatch the throne for their master.

Whether a big melee will start or not depends on whether Dayan Khan can survive the current hurdle. If they can survive, then the six armies on the periphery will definitely retreat separately, and everyone will be happy. But if you can't survive it, the sea of blood in the corpse mountain of Wuliang Ha is inevitable.

So never before have the people of Uliangha prayed for Dayan Khan to come through.

Since the imperial physician in the Khan's court said that the khan needed to recuperate, none of the six princes entered Dayan Khan's bedchamber, but waited for news inside and outside the Khan's palace.

Of the six princes, only two had separate palaces in the Khan's palace. One is the second prince Urus, and the other is the fourth prince Arsubott. Why? There is no other reason, but the two were born to Mandu Haihatun.

"Hatun" is the Tatar name for Manduhai, which has the same meaning as "queen" and "sage".

In the history of the Tatars, Mandu Haihatun was also a legendary woman. When Dayan Khan was still fighting in the north and south, he once mistakenly fell into the enemy's trap and was besieged until only twelve guards remained.

At that time, she was eight months pregnant, but she still took the lead to break through the encirclement of the enemy army and rescued Dayan Khan, and finally Mandu Haihatun gave birth prematurely in the position.

It can be said that Dayan Khan can achieve hegemony and become the "lord of Zhongxing" in Mongolia, which is inseparable from Mandu Hai. If it weren't for Manduhai, I'm afraid Dayan Khan would have died long ago.

Manduhai's premature child is Urus, and it is precisely for this reason that Manduhai has always had a special preference for Urus, and her desire for Urus to sit on the throne has never been concealed at all, and even personally took action to fight for Urus I don't know how many political resources.

Surprisingly, Dayan Khan seems to have preferred Arsubot. He gave Arsubbot the richest part of Hazar, and also gave Arsubbot the Twelve Horsemen of Ghostface, which he relied on to become famous. This qiē clearly means to help Alsubot ascend to the throne of Khan.

However, perhaps because of the face of Manduhai, Dayan Khan never expressed anything positively, but his attitude made Arsubot unable not to fight. Because he was already a confidant of Urus, the only stumbling block to his ascension to the throne of the Khan.

Even if Alsubobot quit voluntarily, Urus would not let him go. Because he is alive, he has always been an unstable factor. Therefore, Arsubo fought for himself, for the expectations of his father Khan, and for the last resort.

Badama Palace, here is the dormitory of Mandu Sea.

"Badama" means "lotus" in Chinese, and it is one of Manduhai's favorite flowers. However, lotus flowers are not very common in Mongolia, so Dayan Khan specially invited Han people who are good at painting to paint a wall full of lotus flowers on one wall of Badama Palace.

As soon as Arsubot went to the hospital to inquire about Dayan Khan's physical condition, the maid of the Badama Palace ran over to inform Arsubat that Manduhai had summoned him to the Badama Palace.

Arsuboth nodded and immediately walked towards the Badama Palace.

Walking into the main hall of Badama Palace, the first thing you see is Manduhai in gorgeous clothes sitting behind a long table making tea. Arsubote walked over and saluted Mandu Hai and called out, "Queen Mother." ”

Manduhai nodded, and looked up at Alsubote. At this moment, you can clearly see the appearance of Mandu Hai, she has a lot of exquisite silver jewelry inlaid with precious stones on her head, and there are many wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her old age has gradually appeared. But after all, she is a pampered queen, and the whole Kanmandu Sea is only about forty, and her actual age is actually in her fifties and almost sixty.

"Get up and sit." Manduhai gestured to Alsubote with his eyes, and Alsubo nodded, "Yes." Then he walked to the opposite table and sat down, his tone was neither salty nor light, and his attitude was not at all intimate between mother and son.

Manduhai pushed a bowl of tea to Alsubote, and Alsubote said, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

Picking up the bowl of oil tea and taking a sip, Alsubote put down the tea, looked at Manduhai and asked, "Does the queen mother have any instructions for Arsulai?" ”

In fact, Alsubobot really didn't want to ask about this sentence, because he had roughly guessed why Manduhai called him.

Sure enough, Manduhai bowed his head slightly and then looked at Alsubote and said, "Your father Khan is seriously ill now, and the country has reached the most critical moment. Nearly 100,000 troops were stationed outside the city, and war was on the verge of breaking out. Arsu, can you bear to see the blood of Uliangha flow, and to see Mongolia fall apart and fall into turmoil once again when it is invaded by foreign enemies? ”

Really! Arsu's right fist clenched, but the expression on Arsu's face still seemed relatively calm, he shook his head with a blank face: "Queen Mother, the child doesn't understand what you mean. The child is the prince of Mongolia, how can it make our country fall apart and bleed? ”

"Arsu!" Manduhai suddenly snorted, and sure enough, he was worthy of being the person who followed Dayan Khan to fight in the south and the north, Manduhai's drink was extraordinary, and even Arsubote was slightly stunned.

"Do you still have to disguise yourself in front of me? Now that your father Khan is seriously ill, you and Urus are the only two people in the entire Mongolian kingdom who are eligible to inherit the throne. If you withdraw and don't compete with Urus for the throne of Khan, who else in the whole of Mongolia will be able to stop Urus from ascending to the throne?

If you withdraw, half of the army outside Uliangha will be able to withdraw, and the other half will not be able to fight. If you withdraw, Urus will be able to ascend to the throne in peace, and there will be no turmoil in Mongolia! ”

"What if I quit?" Alsubobot suddenly looked into Manduhai's eyes, and he smiled a little sadly. "According to the queen mother, if I don't quit, I will be a sinner in Mongolia?"

Alsubobot took a deep breath, his right hand trembling slightly under the long table, showing that he was suppressing the excitement in his heart. Alsubote half-gritted his teeth and said, "Queen Mother, the child never thought of fighting with the second prince for anything. As soon as the father Khan wrote an edict to pass on the Khan to the second prince, the child immediately left with the army outside the city.

The children stationed outside the city did not want to make the blood of Uryanha flow, but only to ensure that the wishes of his father Khan could be truly and completely expressed, and that they would be truly and completely executed. ”

"Arsu, you ......" Manduhai was said by Arsu. Her voice became a little cold, and her eyes were slightly sharp. Mandu Haidao: "Arsu, after all, you are unwilling to quit, right?" ”

"The Queen Mother." Alsubote's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Manduhai, "Am I not your son?" Why are you so eccentric? Why are you reluctant to give me a chance to compete fairly?

I can quit, I can not fight. But the queen mother, you tell me, if my father Khan writes an edict and passes the throne to me, what should I do? Am I still going to give up the throne to the second prince? ”

"That's right! That's right! Manduhai's whole person also became excited, and she roared loudly: "The only one who can ascend to the throne of Khan is Urus, and it can only be Urus." I've already decided, even if your father Khan doesn't agree! ”

"Why?" Alsubot finally couldn't help but burst out, and he roared loudly: "I am also the son of my father Khan, and I am also qualified to inherit the throne of Khan. When my father Khan handed me the horn of the Twelve Horsemen of the Devil's Face, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me that the future of Mongolia would be in my hands, and I should work hard. Father Khan has approved of me, why can't you approve of me? What am I inferior to Urus? Why do you want me to back down! ”

"It seems that you didn't understand, I said, I have decided to let Urus ascend to the throne of Khan, and your father Khan will not agree to it!" After Man Duhai finished saying this, he suddenly slammed the bowl of oil tea in front of him to the ground.

With that "bang", a team of samurai with swords immediately rushed out of the side hall of the Badama Palace. As soon as the samurai appeared, Arsu was surrounded in the middle, and the blade was pointed at him.

Alsubobot stood up suddenly, and his whole body trembled slightly. He looked at Manduhai angrily, and said word by word: "Queen Mother, the Han people have a saying that 'tiger poison does not eat children', and today you want to kill me for Urus?" ”

Manduhai's eyes were firm, she shook her head and said, "If you are unwilling to withdraw, then your brothers will kill each other sooner or later." In that case, let me end this qiē first! ”

Alsubott's eyes closed slightly, and two lines of tears finally slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly, Arsu's eyes snapped open, and he roared like a mad lion......
