Zhao Shi left the other hospital that day full of sadness.
After he returned to his General's Mansion in Huaihua, he entered the inner courtyard. A group of people who were looking forward to it hurriedly rushed up and asked: "How is it? How is the prince? Is it better to be famous than to meet him, or to be famous than to meet him?"
"...The younger generation is terrible!" Zhao Shi thought for a long time, and finally could only say these four words he said in front of Rong Suihe. He sighed rather desolately and said, "You are worried about him being obsessed with beauty, it's best to Think about how to apologize! This kid... If the late emperor had lived a few more years and seen his qualifications, the person sitting on the throne would definitely not be the one sitting on the throne! Even Huan Guanlan would be powerless!"
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "If he had been born a few years earlier, Huan Guanlan would have been blind and would have supported this emperor! It would be better to persuade the late emperor to pass the throne directly to this grandson, bypassing his descendants!"
The people who had previously questioned Rong Suihe's risk of sneaking into Northern Xinjiang to visit his wife heard this, but they were not angry but happy. They raised their hands and said: "If the prince is so amazing, what if we are going to plead guilty?"
"General, don't continue to praise the prince. We have known for a long time that this prince is an outstanding talent with both civil and military skills. Otherwise, why would we choose him over the prince in the first place?" Someone who was impatient urged, "Let's talk to us carefully. Once you tell me, what your uncle and nephew said is serious!"
When Zhao Shi told his men about Rong Suihe's appearance, temperament, speech and behavior, and the city's intentions, the king's tent was on the grassland.
Nafuzhen knelt in front of Denchen Riyu's hospital bed, watching his elder brother struggling to put the scepter into his hand, and listening to the noise of people behind him who were either surprised, admired, happy, or frightened, but ultimately cheered, and his heart became cold. .
He stared at the scepter symbolizing the Khan for a long time, closed his eyes and said: "I have something to say with the Khan, you all should go out first!"
At this time, the people in the king's tent were all confidants of the two brothers, and they all hesitated after hearing this: Denchen Riyu's people were worried that their khan was seriously injured and his time was running out, and he would suffer a loss when he was alone with Nafu Zhen; The people of Nafuzhen were afraid that this was Dengchen Riyu's territory. Even if Dengchen Riyu didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong at this moment, he still knew that his descendants were not Nafuzhen's opponents, and wanted to take the initiative to pass the throne to Nafuzhen. Fu Zhen's method to preserve his flesh and blood, who knows if it is a trap
When Tengchen Riyu also nodded, Fuzhen's tone was already a little angry, and the group of people filed away with anxiety.
The two brothers were the only ones left in the tent. After a moment of silence, Na Fuzhen threw the scepter onto the rafter and asked sternly: "Do you know that doing this will harm the entire Ruru?!"
"Na Fuzhen, isn't this what you've always wanted?" Riyu Tengchen didn't care at all about his rage, and even seemed a little happy. He just smiled and said, "You have wanted the throne for a long, long time. Right? Although none of my descendants are your opponents, it is not a nice thing for an uncle to rob his nephew of his things. Now, I, Denchen Riyu, as the current Khan King of Ruru, take the initiative and publicly Yes, I will pass the throne to you. You don’t have to kill your nephews and grandnephews, you don’t have to make up all kinds of unexpected excuses, and you don’t have to put any thought into it, you can hold this scepter and sit on that seat... What else are you dissatisfied with? "
He said lightly, "Why do you say that if I do this, I will harm the entire Ruru? Are you not confident enough in your own abilities? Do you think you can't handle such a big Ruru? Na Fuzhen, let me give you a piece of advice: even if If you think so, don’t say it out loud! After all, although our Yujiulu clan is noble, neither are the Afugan, Yan (zi) Wo (wo) clan, Qi (qi) Lu Lin, Mona Lou... those tribes are not Just wait! If Yu Jiulu shows signs of weakness, believe me, they will immediately rush up and kill us like a hungry wolf seeing a fat and easily accessible lamb. Well, I won’t live long, it should be... You, tear into pieces!!!”
As he spoke, Dengchen Liyu raised his hand tremblingly and tried to pat his younger brother's shoulder, but when he raised his hand halfway, he was angrily pushed away by Na Fuzhen, and said with gritted teeth: "Stop pretending to be confused!!!"
"I'm not confused!" Seeing this, Dengchen Liyu simply put down his hand and said An Ran, "Na Fuzhen, because of Sheng Shixiong, you are the one among Ruru who knows the Han family's classics best. You should know that there is a saying in China. , it’s called ‘an ant is still greedy for life’. You did the same thing before, but now I just do something similar to you! So, don’t blame me from Ruru’s point of view, okay? You know, it was you first The one who betrayed Ruru!”
"But Ruru can't tolerate my descendants... So, what qualifications do you have to say that I harmed the entire Ruru?"
The dying Khan's gray face was filled with abnormal blushes due to excitement and joy. He coughed and said, "If you really valued Ruru so much, why did you tell Damu's secret The prince surrenders? If you don't surrender, you will either commit suicide or be killed by him. No matter which one it is, you will no longer be able to threaten me or my children! In that case, why should I do this today? "
"Even if you are willing to save Sai Li's life... I will not be desperate now and send people to Yizhou to plead with the Prince of Mi Zhen County who is younger than several of my grandsons!"
Dengchen Liyu sighed and said lightly, "So, Fuzhen, you see, this is fate!"
"You are destined not to be Ruru's Khan. Even if you reluctantly inherit this position, all that awaits you is the destruction of the country!"
"Even if I didn't kill you back then, even if Mi Zhen didn't kill you... Even if your achievements now are supported by many leaders in Ruru, it's all useless."
"Your abilities may be enough, but your blessings..."
He laughed gloomily and shook his head, "Not enough! It's not enough! Then Fuzhen, you are destined to be an unlucky person! Before you met Sheng Shixiong, you spent all the blessings in your life on It’s over!”
"Since then, all the struggles have been phantoms!!!"
"...This is just your idea!" Na Fuzhen's face was livid and he stared at him, as if he was a furious beast, ready to pounce and tear Dengchen Liyu apart at any time. However, after a long time, the new King Khan could only slow down. Xu closed his eyes and said, "Dengchen Riyu, you are not willing to give in, are you? Even if you are persuaded by Mi Zhen and cooperate with him to trick me, no matter whether Mi Zhen fulfills his promise or not, your child will always be the same as Khan. The seat has nothing to do with it!"
"Even if Mi Zhen is willing to treat them kindly, the most they can do is give them a life of fine clothing and food, and raise them like livestock!"
"I have to stay in Middle-earth for the rest of my life and cannot return to the grassland."
"They will never be able to roam freely in the land where their ancestors grew up!"
"I live in a cramped house in Chang'an or somewhere else, and live my life cautiously!"
"Even if there are outstanding children among the descendants, they will not be able to continue the glory of my Yujiulu family!"
"You want your child to have a way to survive, because you don't trust me or your confidants, and you would rather take the risk and choose an outsider... "
"But the path you are looking for for your child is not lived by humans at all, at least not by our Ruru...it is simply a pet!"
"All glory and wealth are pinned on others, and I have no claim at all!"
"And how much do you pay to let your children live the lives of pets?"
"You have taken out everything you can, right?"
Na Fuzhen sneered and said, "Dengchen Riyu! I really didn't expect that you are such an easy deceiver! If there is anyone in Damu, I want to get rid of him quickly. It is no longer Sheng Shixiong, but Mi Zhen! This is not out of personal enmity! Because Mi Zhen did not impose any punishment on me at all. I hope that he will die, just because if he does not die, unless he dies in Damu’s struggle for power! Otherwise, he will treat me badly. Ru’s threat is simply too great!”
He exhaled, pressed the scepter into Denchen Riyu's hand, tears dripping from his eyes, "You and I, brothers, even if we have plotted against each other for the Khan position, in the final analysis, we are the descendants of Yu Jiulu and the royal family of Ruru! Why? But because of the instigation of an outsider, they plotted against each other and put Ruru in danger?! After doing this, how can I see Father Khan and the others when they go underground?!"
With a muffled sound, Na Fuzhen knelt down heavily on the rafters. After asking for doctors and medicinal materials for his mother, for the first time in decades, he spoke to his eldest brother in a pleading tone, "I beg you." ! I am willing to swear on my own life and on the name of my mother! I swear on all the demands you can make... I will treat your descendants well and give them a seat in the king's account no matter what... Don't follow Cooperate closely and don’t send Ruru to death... There is a saying in China that those who are not of our race must have different hearts! This shows their wariness and antipathy towards foreign races like us!"
"You are the Khan of Ruru. How can you bear to watch that, at least a few decades later, my grandson, the grandson of Ruru, will be reduced to the servant of the Great Mu?! The noble Yujiulu family is even barely alive. Are they all extravagant hopes? Brother, promise me to let Ruru go, okay?!"
He burst into tears, but Tonchen Riyu, who was on the hospital bed, only watched quietly.
After a while, he whispered softly: "Stop crying."
Seeing Na Fuzhen howling, Dengchen Liyu smiled tiredly and said, "Na Fuzhen, actually, this is why I plotted to kill you and let you fall into the hands of Sheng Shixiong... because you are too naive. !”
"It's like an allusion from Middle-earth, where a child holds gold in a busy city. Even people who didn't originally intend to plunder can't help but become greedy."
"But if a fierce and strong man walks through the market with gold, even a thief can restrain his greed!"
"At that time, no one in Ruru knew how much Father Khan loved you!"
"And you were also lost in such favor. Although you were still young when you fell into Sheng Shixiong's hands, what was Mi Zhen doing at that age? At that time, I looked at you and thought, a person like you , even if I become a khan, I, Yu Jiulu, will sooner or later become a puppet of the Yan (zi) Wo (wo) family, Qi (qi) Lu Lin, and Mona Lou family!"
"So, I might as well do it myself!"
"You see, I owe my fortune to the Avgan clan, but over the years, everything has been decided by me."
"Afugan clan has never been able to cross Yujiulu!"
"I thought that after all these years of hard work, you would eventually grow up."
"Who would have thought that people would still say such childish things now?"
Dengchen Liyu said slowly, "When I reach my age, my status, all my oaths and promises, they are all illusory and empty. I... only believe in interests!"
"Prince Mi Zhen of Damu is ambitious and has a bright future!"
"I know this."
"It is precisely because his future is limitless that I entrust my children and grandchildren to him... Even if he does not trust them, but with his future, with just a little nod, the children's future wealth will be indispensable... What you said They may never be able to return to the grassland and enjoy the freedom of roaming on the land where their ancestors grew up... So what?"
"I am their father. Of course I hope that Ruru will be passed down and carried forward from generation to generation in their hands."
"It's a pity that I don't have outstanding children under my knees. They can't afford this position!"
"And with you as an uncle, there is no place for them in this land!"
"Instead of letting them die miserably at a young age on the land where their ancestors grew up, and annihilating the reputation of my branch, Denchen Liyu, in the dust; it would be better to let them enjoy fine clothing and fine food in a foreign land that our ancestors have never been to. , spend your days leisurely!”
"Is this how Big Brother can guarantee that Mi Zhen will always treat your heirs well?!" Na Fuzhen clenched his fists tightly, with warm blood flowing between his fingers and running down the edges of his palms. His eyes were split, and he shouted sternly, " Don’t forget that he is Sheng Shixiong’s grandson-in-law! And Sheng Shixiong hated us Ruru the most! Back then, my father Khan was still there, and as his most beloved heir, I was still young and could not get mercy from him! Let alone! Is it your bloodline?!"
He laughed miserably, "Brother, you are thinking about your nephews and grandnephews with all your heart. If you close your eyes and pass by, Mi Zhen turns around and hands them over to Sheng Shixiong, and you watch from the ground. Wan Jian will regret it then." What’s the use of saving your heart?!”
