After the coffin returned to Horin, he arranged the funeral of Möngke Khan with the assistance of the Mongolian clan.

After the affairs of Möngke Khan were settled, Ali Buge summoned his party cronies Alandar, Belge and others to quietly discuss in the big tent, and Asutai, as the person Ali Buge relied on the most, naturally participated in it.

Meng Ge's original generals are still facing each other on the southwest front, these days, the tribes are busy with the aftermath of Meng Ke Khan, although everyone is concerned about the heir to the Khan, but they all dare not ask more because of Meng Ke Khan's funeral ceremony, and now, after the major events are completed, it is natural to put this matter on the agenda.

According to the rules of the Mongols, the announcement of the Khan is a very solemn event, and it takes a weighty Mongolian kinship to witness to convince the public, Hulegu is far away in the west, Kublai Khan is confronting in Ezhou, Batu is not in Helin, and many clansmen with heads and faces are not present, so the day of the election of the Great Khan must be postponed.

It was precisely because of this that Ali Buge decided to strike first, preparing to seize the advantage first, so he secretly summoned the clan cronies who were absolutely trusted to reach an alliance of interests first.

The crowd gathered in the tent, and saw Ali Buge come to Azoda and ask Azoutai: "Did the first Khan say to whom he passed the throne of the Khan?"

Asutai pondered for a while, and saw that they were all cronies, and if he told the truth, he would be able to win credit and prestige among his cronies, so he said truthfully: "The first Khan confessed on his deathbed to pass the throne to Kublai Khan, the king of Monan, and left a copy of the secret fold. ”

As soon as the people heard this, they began to talk about it.

Arandar is a delicate little old man, who became Ali Buge's minion very early, Ali Buge just threw a look at him, and he said in a rambling voice: "Kublai Khan befriended the Han people, and was deeply influenced by Han Confucianism, if he was Khan, wouldn't he change the etiquette of our Mongolian clan to the etiquette of the Han people, I don't praise the establishment of Kublai Khan as Khan." ”

Hun Duhai also echoed: "Kublai Khan has always reused Han Chen and former Jin ministers, if he is Khan, the military power of our Mongolian clan will be cut off, and the foundation of our ancestors will be unstable." ”

Aluhu also said to himself: "The king of Mobei has a good way of governing the army and has won the support of the Mongolian clan, and I support Ali Buge as Khan." ”

Ali Buge glanced at Asutai, who knew that he wanted to express his position, so he said: "I have always been at odds with the fourth uncle, and I don't support him inheriting the throne in my heart. ”

Seeing that everyone had taken a stand, and he didn't want to show his ambition too directly, he said euphemistically: "The first Khan's last order must not be disobeyed, not to mention that my fourth brother is brave and invincible, and he has a heavy army. ”

Alandar is a person who only values interests, Ali Buge must have promised him many benefits, for the sake of interests, he was willing to do something that others did not want to do, for that benefit, he took the lead in disobeying the wishes of the first Khan, and did not shy away from advocating in front of a group of cronies: "We might as well support the king of Mobei as the Khan, as long as Asutai you insist that the first khan will pass on the throne to the king of Mobei, then everything should be logical." There was no shame on his face, and he said it very lightly.

Ali Buge asked pretentiously, "Is this feasible?"

Everyone was silent, although they were Ali Buge's hardcore cronies, but the sin of disobeying the orders of the first khan, everyone still did not dare to touch it easily, and they all waited aside and held a neutral attitude.

Seeing this, Asutai secretly rejoiced in his heart, and the time had come to establish his prestige, if he succeeded in convincing these cronies, he would not be able to ascend to the throne of Khan, and his position would naturally be much more precious.

Therefore, in silence, Azoda took out the fold from his bosom and said loudly, "Everyone, please look!"

Everyone's eyes were staring at the fold in Azida's hand, the seal on the fold had not been removed, obviously, Azoda had not yet opened it.

In front of everyone, Azuda tore open the seal and opened the secret book, on which were written two lines of Mongolian characters, to the effect that 'Kublai Khan, the king of Monan, was enthroned, and ordered all Mongolian tribes to continue to help Kublai Khan complete the unfinished business.' ’

Ah Sutai will face the secret fold to everyone, Ali Buge's face was displeased, thinking that Azuda was going to change the hexagram, after everyone looked at it, Ah Sutai took this secret fold to the burning candle, and lit the secret fold, everyone did not stop it, just a sigh.

When the green smoke swirled in the camp, everyone quieted down, and they all seemed to smell the smell of fame.

Asutai is still a smart person in the end, he knows that although he can win the trust and reliance of Ali Buge by doing so, he will not be able to gain the respect of the other clansmen present, because his identity is different from everyone present, he is the son of the first Khan, and it is disobedience to burn the will of his father Khan, how can such an unfilial person gain respect, these have already been thought of when Asutai decided to burn the secret fold.

The Mi Fold burned more and more, just like the burning ambition of everyone present, and when the Mi Fold was about to burn out, Asutai threw it into the brazier on the ground, and the light of the fire shone on his flushed face.

"I am the son of my father Khan, and I burned the secret fold left by my father Khan for the sake of great unfilial piety, but I am still willing to burn it in the name of unfilial piety, do you know why?" said Asutai excitedly, his eyes scanning the crowd.

"Because the future of the entire Mongolian tribe is more important than unfilial piety, imagine what kind of situation the Mongolian people will be like next if the king of Mo Nan is allowed to ascend to the throne of Khan, learn the culture and etiquette of the Han people, disperse the military power to foreign tribes, and move the clans south?"

"Our Mongols are fighting in all directions, for the prosperity of the Mongols, but the king of Mo Nan is devoted to Confucianism, and he does not avoid his relatives, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the real power of the Mongol clan will be completely divided, and how can we talk about the prosperity of the Mongols?"

"If you think that what I say is unreasonable, if you think that I am an unfilial son. As he spoke, Asutai untied the saber at his waist, presented it with both hands, knelt on the ground, and continued: "Then please kill my unfilial son with one knife from one clan member present." Asutai then closed his eyes, undaunted.

Asutai's move is very smart, first, in such a situation, no one will come forward to raise a knife to kill him, then no one comes forward at this time, it is a forgiveness of his unfilial piety, he Ali Buge ascended to the throne of Khan, if someone else talks about this, he also has a reason to refute, after all, since he thinks that he is not filial, why didn't he cut himself with a knife at the beginning; second, no one stepped forward, it is a kind of acquiescence to what Asutai just said, that is, he silently agrees with Ali Buge Khan; third, as the son of Mengke Khan, for the long-term plan of the Mongolian people, he has taken the lead in burning the secret fold, which breaks the estrangement of the cronies present against the disobedient Khan, and uses the long-term plan of the Mongolian people as the reason, is also righteous Ling Ran.

After a long silence, sure enough, none of the cronies stepped forward to act resentfully.

Seeing this situation, Ali Buge stepped forward to help Asutai, and Alandar was very clever and decisively appealed: "Since everyone has no objections, then we will support the king of Mobei as Khan for the long-term plan of the Mongolian people!"

Hun Duhai and Aruhu agreed one after another, and a group of cronies also expressed their support.

Ali Buge looked at the clans and generals who supported him in front of him, and his ambition was beating faster and faster.

That night, after Ali Buge had withdrawn from the crowd, he quietly found Asutai, who took out two letters and said, "These are the letters that the messenger handed to me that day, there are two of them, and I have opened them privately." ”

On that day, the messenger clearly told Ali Buge that he would not be able to open the letter until Hulegu and Kublai Khan returned, and now he opened it privately, which shows that his ambition has been hidden for a long time.

Asutai asked, "What's written in it?"

Ali Buge said in a low voice: "One is a shocking secret, and the other is a 'grand plan'. With that, he handed the two letters to Asutai.

Asutai took the letter from Ali Buge's hand and looked at it, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

Brother Ali Buge advised: "This matter can only be known to you and me, and no third party is absolutely allowed to know." ”

With that, he burned the two letters.

In order to dispel his vigilance against Ali Buge, so as to assist Ali Buge, he deliberately told two major secrets, and Asutai naturally received this love.

After reading the two letters, Ali Buge knew about the existence of Juxian Pavilion, and also knew many things that he should not know, just as the valley lord expected, he began to eagerly use Juxian Pavilion to get rid of the threat of Kublai Khan.

After Ali Buge reached a tacit understanding with Asutai, he discussed with Asuda: "The dungeon key of Juxian Pavilion, I know that you, the master of Juxian Pavilion and the Tiger Prison Envoy each have one, and I also know that you actually control all the masters in Juxian Pavilion, if you send the masters inside to quietly kill Kublai Khan, 'the dragons have no leader', then we don't have to worry about Kublai Khan's power." ”

Ah Sutai had this idea for a long time, and since he chose Ali Buge, he knew that he was destined to break with the fourth uncle, and he said from the bottom of his heart: "That's exactly what I think. ”

Brother Ali Buge said happily: "This is very good, without further ado, we should arrange this matter as soon as possible, if your third uncle and other relatives and ministers rush back, I am afraid it will not be easy to deal with your fourth uncle again." ”

Ah Sutai replied coldly: "Don't panic, on the first day I came back from helping my father's coffin, I had already sent the elite masters of Juxian Pavilion, and this time, the fourth uncle was in a catastrophe." ”

Ali Buge was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that Asutai's scheming would be so deep, and he couldn't help but be curious about the reason why he hated Kublai Khan so much.
