Chapter 209: The Garrison Clears
Moreover, the best thing about this suggestion is that Taha is actually saying it to Zhang Bai.
In Taha's eyes, Princess Tolan, whom Zhang Bai supports, is just a fugitive princess, relying on the residual power of her father and brother, on the surface, to compete for the throne, but in fact she is just retreating to advance, threatening the future emperor with a status and treatment, as well as her own security guarantee.
Therefore, now Taha suggests that the throne be authorized by the princess, which can be regarded as a promise to the princess, and a good sale is to win the support of Zoroastrianism.
"It's really an old slippery head who can solve such a complicated situation and make such a proposal. Zhang Bai smiled secretly, "It's a pity, can Minar agree?"
Sure enough, in the midst of the discussion, Minar quickly stepped onto the pulpit and spoke loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me. The words of Lord Emir Taha are still very reasonable, the princess has suffered a lot, and she has also suffered the grievances of gossip, and she should indeed repay and take care of Her Royal Highness. But if in the way of Lord Taha, the princess is only allowed to grant power and status to others, but there is no commitment to the princess herself, then where is this kind of care embodied?"
"I suggest that we should follow the tradition and have the tribal council pass a stone-throwing resolution to determine the ownership of the throne, otherwise what is the point of our tribal assembly here? ”
"As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, I have a suggestion below. I solemnly declare that I am willing to marry the beautiful Princess Tolan and give her eternal happiness and stability, and that our descendants will be the heirs of the two great families of Sega and Vesudeva. If my wish is granted, then I think the empire will last forever!"
The whole venue was dumbfounded, this Minar actually came up with such a suggestion, abandoning his wife and children? Although Guishan is not monogamous, in order to obtain the throne, such behavior is a bit chilling.
Politically, however, if this suggestion could be realized, the Kushan Empire could indeed naturally resolve internal disputes and achieve a relatively long-term peace.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or oppose.
At this time, the tribesman who recommended Taha, Meru, stood up and spoke: "Your Excellency Minar is a good man, but can this result be achieved? Are princesses willing to marry you? Have you forgotten that you still have wives and children at home? If you are ready to abandon them, then you will have no heirs, and you will not be eligible to fight for the throne. ”
"Who said that Minar was going to abandon his wife, don't you have several wives yourself?, if what Master Minar said is feasible, it will be a great thing for the Kushan Empire!" said a court minister.
"Minar is a married man who will not hesitate to abandon his wife and children for the sake of the throne, and his morals are corrupt, and he cannot give the empire to such a person. ”
"You are spreading rumors, Minnar's decision was for the personal sacrifice made by the Kushan Empire, he is the noblest person! ”
The venue was noisy!
At this time, Jiang Dingsheng, who was beside Minar, stood up, cast a voice spell and said loudly: "Whether Princess Tolan is a murderer or not has not yet been determined, if she is a murderer, is the tribal council ready to lure the wolf into the house?"
His voice didn't sound loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, and for a moment everyone stopped arguing.
"I am a disciple of the god Kusubula, and I would like to remind you that Princess Tolan is in Parthia, and she and the Parthian king may have been engaged, and many people in Peshawar know about this. ”
"Therefore, Lord Minnar's proposal to marry the princess is entirely for the consideration of the Kushan Empire, and does not want the empire to become a puppet controlled by the Parthian Kingdom. As I reminded you, there is no evidence that the princess is innocent, but if the Sega family and the Vesudeva family marry, then it doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, because the princess can only be a member of the Kushan Empire and can only serve the Empire. ”
Jiang Dingsheng looked around the scene, everyone was watching him speak, and Zhang Bai was also looking at him. He glared angrily at Zhang Bai and said, "What we should really guard against is those forces of other countries who want to blackmail Tolan and use the identity of Princess Tolan to try to control the empire. We must expose their plot and punish them severely. ”
His words completely diverted the topic.
Jiang Dingsheng pointed at Zhang Bai and Mu Jing and said: "These two people are spies, they have ill intentions, and they want to seek the Kushan Empire for Parthia. I propose that they should be arrested immediately. As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuanqiu and Xie Pan next to him drew their swords and left the table.
Zhang Bai was shocked, he didn't expect this Jiang Dingsheng to move so fast, and he had to do it in three or two sentences?
When Mu Jing saw this scene, his willow eyebrows were upside down, and he stood up and prepared to fight.
Taha immediately glanced behind him, and several squires armed with scimitars behind him leaned forward slightly.
Minar did not show weakness, he waved his hand to attract the family members in the house to surround him.
For a time, there were swords and soldiers in the Sega Mansion.
The guests of the other seats were all frightened at this moment, and most of them were unprepared, so why did they start fighting for some reason? Some of them were ready to leave the table and run away.
At this time, Yu Zhenzi said in a voice: "You evil beasts, this is the tribal assembly, how can you face each other with swords?" As soon as he roared, the three disciples silently retreated one after another, returned their swords to their sheaths, stepped down from the stage, and sat down.
Zhang Bai looked at Yu Zhenzi and Minar with a smile on his face, wondering in his heart what their intentions were.
It is true that Minar has the advantage of troops in the Sega Mansion, but Taha's forbidden army is just outside the door, Minar is not a fool, how can he attack at this time? It is estimated that he wants to take the opportunity to show his strength, maybe he wants to kill chickens and monkeys to warn Taha.
Just before Jiang Dingsheng came to power, Zhang Bai received a message from the Apostle: the cavalry that had crossed the Indus River had begun to attack the south gate of Peshawar.
The cavalry frantically raided the city gate, and the leading cavalry carried a wooden ladder, and as soon as they reached the bottom of the city, they erected a ladder, and several dead soldiers did not wait for the ladder to be erected, so they abandoned their horses and climbed up to the top of the ladder, and the ladder was almost stabbed at the head of the city.
These dead soldiers are strong in martial arts, and they don't care about life and death, they desperately defend the ladder, and the forbidden army in the city can't help them. After more soldiers under the city attacked the city, this wave of forbidden troops immediately dispersed.
The forbidden defenders under the city were even worse, they were also completely defenseless, and they didn't even have time to close the city gate, they were rushed by the cavalry, and the south gate of Peshawar, and the city and the city were all lost immediately.
It sounds like this cavalry should be well-trained, extremely efficient, battle-hardened, and not all the way to the Forbidden Army. In that case, it can only be an army loyal to Minar, but I didn't expect Minar to ambush such an ambush all the way.
Therefore, Minnar and Yu Zhenzi are in trouble at this time, and it is estimated that they have expected it a long time ago, and they have no fear.
Zhang Bai and Mu Jing didn't care, the two of them went to the meeting this time, and they were ready to evacuate anytime and anywhere, what was the situation in the city? Who was the strongest army? These things actually had little to do with Zhang Bai.
What really cared to him was that this Minar had already received the news? How could it be that the news was coming so fast that it almost exceeded the speed of the ship's transmission?
