"King Youguli!" The military official suddenly shouted: "The gods and ancestors told me that you are hiding something from me!"
"Say it!" The military minister stood up and looked at Yi Zhixie's face.
Is there anything Yi Zhixie is hiding from him?
Of course!
Apart from other things, the military ministers believed that even if Yi Zhixie had a hundred mouths, he could not explain why the number of members of the mission had decreased so much.
One or two can be said to be accidental.
But as many as a dozen people had accidents. Even a fool would know something was wrong about something like this!
Besides, where in this world are there walls that are airtight?
Although more than a dozen people in the mission had accidents, there were many more who did not have any 'accidents'.
Some of these people are willing to speak out and testify about Yi Zhixie's existence.
If it had been in the past, the military officials would have taken today's opportunity to use forceful means to physically destroy Yizhixie, his biggest henchman.
However, now, it is not possible.
If he does that, Yi Zhixie will fall into a desperate situation and will inevitably fight back.
Although the Huns worshiped the strong, they were only willing to obey the strong.
But it pays more attention to race.
Now, there are only two direct sects left in the lineage of the old Shanyu.
One branch is from his lineage of military officials.
The other branch is that of Yizhixie.
As for the lineage of military officials, the biggest problem is that there are no heirs who can be convinced enough and followed.
In the past thirty years of his life, Jun Chen gave birth to more than a dozen children.
Until now, he only has one son, Yu Shan, who is less than four years old, still alive.
All other sons died in infancy.
Not even one of them could live beyond the age of six. The son who lived the longest was taken away by a sudden illness when he was just over five years old.
To the Huns, this was simply an unacceptable danger signal.
Since none of the former military ministers' sons could live beyond the age of six, who can guarantee that Yu Shan can survive until he is six or even become an adult and have offspring?
In this way, Yi Zhixie became the hope of the entire Xiongnu Empire.
I don't know how many nobles and tribal leaders secretly support and protect Yi Zhixie because of this.
It is true that the military officials now have evidence and evidence to prove that Yi Zhixie betrayed him, and even betrayed the Huns.
Using this as an excuse to execute Yi Zhixie, no one can stop him.
However, before his death, as the only member of the Luantang family lineage, Yi Zhixie was able to expose the lies of the so-called divine orders and ancestor possession that the military ministers were currently pretending.
It doesn't take much, just one question can achieve this effect. Chanyu is blessed by the gods and ancestors, why is it that all his sons are lost?
This is really a fatal problem.
Once Yi Zhixie brought it up in public, the military officials had no way of explaining it.
The tribal leaders and the four major clans will also have many questions.
Even some ambitious side branches will be ready to take a peek at Shan Yu's position.
They may not care about Yi Zhixie's life and death, but they must be very concerned about: Why does Chanyu have no son who can reach adulthood? Is it because Chanyu has sinned against his ancestors and gods?
The military minister knew very well that he could use means to force and coerce the shamans to support him.
Other powerful sects with the surname Luotang can also use some means to ask shamans to come out, hold ceremonies, and ask for proof from the gods and ancestors.
This is the question that the military minister is most worried about. He knows that he has not been blessed by his ancestors, gods, and even the plow, and his sons have indeed died a lot. So is he really blessed by the plow, the gods, and his ancestors?
What about being spurned? Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty has proven that he has the blessing and protection of the gods, the military officials will naturally think so, and they will also think so. Under the premise that this is indeed the case, what if that Luo Ting
Sure enough, the descendants of the clan got the inspiration of supporting the plow and worshiping the gods or ancestors from the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, even if only some people claimed so.
Then his position as a Chanyu will be shaken immediately.
Without the approval of the gods and ancestors, the four major clans and other royal nobles of the Luantang clan would not hesitate to abandon him, a Chanyu who was spurned by the ancestors and gods.
And without a heir who can make people feel at ease and offer loyalty, even the military ministers' own confidants and hardcore will probably be upset in their hearts.
After all, who wants to be loyal to a Chanyu who has no future?
In order to avoid falling into such a dead end, and even take this opportunity to completely consolidate his position, Junchen knew very well that he must reach a compromise with Yi Zhixie.
Even cooperate with each other for a certain period of time.
Wait until Yu Shan comes of age.
Military officials have always been very patient.
Back then, when the old Shanyu was still alive, he could tolerate Yi Zhixie's father riding on his head and showing off his power. Until the old Shanyu died and he ascended the throne, he still obeyed the Youxian King on the surface.
Until King Youxian made a mistake himself and suffered a major military setback.
The military ministers who seized the opportunity immediately struck hard at King Youxian's forces and forced King Youxian to go to Shanyuting. Then, after a bloody coup, they completely eliminated all the forces of King Youxian in Shanyuting, and even killed him.
Almost all of the right-hand king’s cronies, deployments and heirs were lost.
If Yi Zhixie had not been protected by the Muyan family, he would have died.
Today, Junchen believes that time is still on his side.
As long as Yi Zhixie recognizes and recognizes his divine right, he, who has the supreme status, can certainly tolerate Yi Zhixie's life for a few more years.
It's like Shan gets older and crosses over from riding a sheep to riding a horse.
After having Chanyu's reliable heir and object of allegiance, the military ministers believed that the Luotang clan and the four major clans would definitely abandon Yi Zhixie and no longer provide him with shelter and protection.
by that time
Thinking like this, the military minister opened his hands, looked at Yi Zhixie, and said: "This Shanyu saw through the eyes of his ancestors the secret discussions between King Yougu Li and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in the Han Dynasty!"
The entire venue immediately fell into exclamations of exclamation.
Secretly discussing with potential enemy monarchs behind Shan Yu's back or even in court.
This is a despised crime among the Xiongnu and even any country, nation, or political system in the world!
No one will have a good impression of a guy who eats everything he eats!
Yi Zhixie felt very calm in her heart.
You said that I had a secret meeting with the Emperor of Han Dynasty?
Where is the evidence?
As long as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty does not stand in this dragon city, who can testify against him?
Those members of the mission?
Haha, do you really think that the four major clans and other royal families of the Luotang clan are fools?
Moreover, Yi Zhixie has 100% confidence. He believes that no matter the four major clans or other powerful factions of the Luotang clan, they will never want to see a Chanyu who has truly received blessings and authorizations from the gods and ancestors.
What a joke!
If that were the case, would everyone still be fooling around?
From now on, whatever Shan Yuting says will be whatever it is, and there will be no more bargaining.
All internal affairs of tribes and clans, as well as official positions, will have the final say from now on.
I am afraid that no one among the tribes, clans, even vassal tribes and slave tribe leaders present, except for the die-hard confidants of the military ministers, would like to see such a thing happen.
They will definitely stand up, stand up for themselves, and support them.
Of course, it would be another matter if the military ministers could make the soul of Laoshang Great Chanyu or Maodun Great Chanyu appear and speak out.
But the problem is
Are you a military minister?
Yi Zhixie expressed deep doubts about this.
You know, so far, everything is just the military ministers and a few shamans talking to themselves.
Even these shamans are not the ones with the highest authority in Xiongnu religion.
At best, they are just high-ranking priests.
But, then again, Yi Zhixie still agrees with Jun Chen's current actions.
If he were Shanyu, he would probably make a similar decision.
Otherwise, only the Han Dynasty had an emperor who was favored by the gods, while the Xiongnu Chanyu did not have the blessing of gods.
This is very demoralizing.
Nowadays, many Xiongnu tribes do not even dare to approach the Great Wall, let alone show off their power as unscrupulously as in the past, or even provoke.
Everyone was worried that if they offended the Han emperor, he would ask the gods to impose heavenly punishment.
For example, this winter, the White Disaster swept over one-third of the Xiongnu tribe, and countless livestock and slaves froze to death.
Had it not been for the defeat of Wusun, he would have received enough slaves and livestock as compensation, and at the same time, he would have received more than double the tribute from the countries in the Western Regions than in previous years.
I'm afraid, many tribes will be hungry now.
As for this matter, among many Xiongnu tribes, some people were secretly discussing that the white plague was caused by the emperor of the Han Dynasty asking the gods to come down.
So much so that when the Xiongnu appeared for the first time, some tribal herdsmen and even nobles secretly set up a sacrificial wooden sign for the Han emperor in their tents. They prayed morning and night, asking the living god to accept his supernatural powers and stop condemning the poor people.
of the Huns.
Under such circumstances, at present, the eastern tribes basically do not have the courage to go to war with the Han army.
It is even possible that once they are put on the front line, they will definitely choose to escape.
The Huns were never afraid of fighting hard and tough battles.
Back then, when Maodun Danyu challenged the Donghu and Yueshi, didn't they go through an arduous battle? They even risked genocide?
But if you are going to challenge the gods
Then no one would want to.
If you run forward knowing that you are going to die, that is not brave but an idiot.
And the military ministers' current actions can make up for the losses in this aspect very well.
Let the power of Han and Hungary be balanced again.
Moreover, once the military officials succeed and are recognized by the tribes and clans, the authority of Shan Yuting can be greatly strengthened.
It even reached a peak that even the two heroes, Mao Dun and Laoshang, had never reached when they were still alive.
From then on, the Chanyu became one with the gods and ancestors, and the Chanyu's orders became oracles and divine decrees.
Maybe the upper-class nobles would be a little dissatisfied, but the ignorant tribesmen and slaves below would definitely listen and worship in front of Shanyu's envoy with fear and fear.
By that time, no matter which tribe leaders disobey Shan Yu's orders, or if certain tribes are dissatisfied with Shan Yu Ting's decision, there will be no trouble.
All tribes must obey the Shanyu's orders.
If you don't obey, change your collar.
With the help of the power of gods and ancestors, the middle and lower class nobles and herdsmen of all tribes and clans can immediately obey the Shanyu's orders and remove the leader who dares to disobey the Shanyu.
But it's a pity
Yi Zhi sneered twice in her heart.
As long as he, the existing ancestral lineage of the Great Chanyu, stands up to question and demands military ministers to prove themselves, the power of gods or ancestors can be revealed to the world.
The military minister's plan will come to nothing.
You may even have to shoot yourself in the foot.
And he, Yi Zhixie, can take the opportunity to gather more supporters.
However, when Yi Zhixie stood up and was about to question.
Yi Zhixie suddenly looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Because he saw a person, a person who he had been looking for for a month but still couldn't find and almost disappeared from the world.
General Zuo. Huyan will be slaughtered!
This thorn in his side, the thorn in his flesh, the loyal dog of his military ministers, the mad dog of Shan Yuting, the notorious executioner, the bastard. At this moment, with dozens of warriors, he strode over from the grassland diagonally opposite Yizhi.
Yi Zhi could see clearly that Huyan Dangtu was holding a piece of sheepskin still stained with blood.
"Uwe!" Yi Zhixie's teeth chattered.
He clearly recognized that the sheepskin belonged to the horse of his son Uwe, who was just over three years old this year.
Yi Zhixie will never admit his mistake.
Yi Zhi raised his head sideways and looked at the military minister with red eyes.
He knew very well that as long as he dared to question, Uwe would definitely die, and so would he.
That lunatic Hu Yandang Tu can definitely do such a thing.
And the military officials will definitely not leave any room.
Yi Zhixie took a deep breath to keep herself calm.
His brain started to work at high speed.
As a hero, Yi Zhixie certainly has enough brains.
He quickly came to a conclusion: if the military minister wanted to put him to death, then whether he chose to surrender or resist, the result would be the same. But if the military minister wanted to negotiate, then this
Things don't need to be discussed.
Yi Zhixie didn't want to die now, let alone have his bloodline completely cut off.
So Yizhixie knelt down and asked tentatively: "Dad Chanyu, as the king of Youguli of the Xiongnu, I swear to the gods and ancestors: I, Yizhixie, the king of Youguli, have never done anything with you.
The collusion of the Han Dynasty was detrimental to the Xiongnu!"
This temptation has three meanings.
First, test whether the military minister really has the help of ancestors and gods. If so, the result is obvious, the anger of gods and ancestors will immediately burn him to powder.
After waiting for a while, Yi Zhi appeared sideways, but neither the ancestors nor the gods responded.
This put him at ease.
If that were the case, then no matter how hard he struggled, it would be in vain.
However, since it was proven that the military minister was lying, Yi Zhixie already knew that no matter what the result of the test was, he would be able to deal with it.
Next, Yi Zhi looked sideways at Jun Chen's face. This was the second level of testing whether Jun Chen was willing to negotiate with him.
If he is unwilling, the military ministers will directly deny his oath and declare him guilty of death.
If this is the case, Yi Zhixie feels that the fish is dead and the net is broken!
The third is based on the second level of meaning. If the military minister is willing to negotiate, what kind of bargaining chips and price can the military minister give to him, who is second only to the military minister in the Luotang clan?
The royal family was betrayed by the sworn enemy of the military ministers.
But on the grassland, if the benefits are big enough, let alone revenge for killing one's father.
Even if the hatred of seizing his wife and the shame of annihilating the clan are there, it is not impossible to cooperate.
Just like the Yuezhi people surrendered to Wusun, and the Donghu people bowed their knees to the old Shanyu.
On this grassland, there are never any grudges, only interests.
The military minister looked at Yi Zhixie and praised in his heart: "As expected of the elder Shanyu!"
But the more this happened, the more worried the military officials became about Yi Zhixie.
But now, the benefits gained from cooperating with Yi Zhixie are far greater than killing Yi Zhixie, and even if he takes the risk of killing Yi Zhixie, the gain outweighs the loss.
Otherwise, the military officials really wanted to execute the son of this mortal enemy immediately, so as to completely consolidate his son's position.
"The ancestors and gods told this Chanyu." The military official looked at Yi Zhi and said sideways: "King Yougu Li did not lie. King Yougu Li did not collude with the Han Dynasty to do anything detrimental to the Xiongnu."
Telling lies with your eyes open is an essential skill for a qualified nobleman, even among the Huns.
Military officials are no exception.
He knew very well that Yi Zhixie must have played tricks behind his back. Otherwise, how could he have left the Han Dynasty alive?
Just being the son of King Youxian was enough for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and his ministers to tear him into pieces.
But he left the Han Dynasty intact, and many "accidents" happened to his mission.
"Witnessed by the gods and ancestors," the military minister walked up to Yizhi Xie, took off a nose ring from his nose, put it in front of Yizhi Xie, stretched out his feet, and said: "Right
King Guli, this Chanyu appoints you as King Youxian to preside over the affairs of the tribes in the east!"
Then, the military officials looked at Yi Zhixie.
Next, it all depends on Yi Zhixie's choice whether to break up and have a big fight, or to get what each other wants.
If Yi Zhixie is smart enough, Junchen believes that he will make the right choice.
"The great Chanyu who supports the plow and is protected by the ancestors." After weighing the gains and losses, Yi Zhixie forcibly endured his nausea, crawled down, took the soldier's nose ring, put it on his own nose, and then kissed it
Wearing the boots of a military official to show all the loyalty: "Please accept my humble respect!"
At this point, the deal is concluded.
Yi Zhixie used his actions to express his sincerity to the military ministers, and supported the military ministers' "protection from the gods and ancestors", acknowledging that the military ministers had indeed received the blessings and protection from the ancestors and gods.
The military ministers returned the power of King Youxian to Yi Zhixie.
On the surface, everyone seems happy.
From then on, the Xiongnu monarchs and ministers were united.
But in fact, both Junchen and Yi Zhixie had other thoughts at the moment.
"Hmph," Yi Zhixie said with a sneer while kissing the boots of the military minister: "As long as Yu Dan has an 'accident', I will be the undoubted King Zuoxian. At that time, everything you do will be for
I serve"
With the precedent of military ministers, it is tradition that after Yi Zhixie ascended the throne as Chanyu, he continued to receive blessings from gods and ancestors.
"Let you live a few more years," the military minister also sneered in his heart.
By the time he came to conquer the West, Yu Dan had grown up, and by that time his status and authority had also been consolidated.
By then, just one word could kill Yi Zhixie!
Besides, is the East so easy to stay in?
Once there is friction between Han and Huns, all the pressure will fall on Yi Zhixie.
At that time, no matter what decision Yi Zhixie makes.
There will only be one result: guilty!
He knelt down to lick the Han Dynasty and settled the disputes. The military officials could say that he "took the inside and outside and betrayed the Huns".
He was tough to the end and fought against the Han Dynasty. Even the military officials could accuse him of "unauthorized sabotage of the marriage and provoking a war between Han and Hungary."
Just like King Youxian back then, Yi Zhixie will no longer be human inside and out!
The two Luotuan clans, who had their own agendas and agendas, looked at each other and smiled, feeling that they had earned something.
But the other nobles and tribal leaders of the Xiongnu looked at each other in confusion.
The two mortal enemies, who were incompatible with each other and wished each other to die quickly, got together in full view of the public.
This left countless people speechless in surprise.
But more people lowered their heads, offered their loyalty, and shouted: "Support the plow, Gutu! Support the plow, Gutu! Support the plow, Gutu!"
In the Xiongnu, after all, more than 95% of the nobles and herdsmen were religious believers who were ignorant to the end.
Since the two core figures of the Luotang clan recognized and accepted the "blessings from gods and ancestors" and the shamans who served the gods and ancestors, then naturally everyone believed it.
These people brought along other "onlookers who didn't know the truth" in the entire royal court, such as guards on duty, tribal herdsmen and slaves, and they all responded one after another: "Support the plow Gutu! Support the plow Gutu!"
But it hurt those higher-ups who vaguely guessed the truth, such as the leaders of the four major clans and major tribes.
But, what can they do?
The two sects of the Luotang clan and the shamans had no objections. What else could they, outsiders, do?
I don’t have the position or qualification to question it!
So, they could only shout together: "Plow the plow, Gutu! Plow the plow, Gutu!"
It’s just that the tone is somewhat reluctant. (To be continued.)
ps: There will be more later
