Xifa is dead!
All the descendants and brothers are fighting for the throne!
Among them, Xifa's two half-brothers were the first to take action. While everyone was gathering to discuss the funeral, they arranged a tribal raid and slaughtered almost 80% of Xifa's male descendants in one go!
A few people took advantage of the chaos to escape and dispersed under the cover of their men.
And when the two Wei He princes saw that the Xifa lineage was in trouble, they simply started fighting among themselves...
The result of internal strife is that both sides suffer and the stalemate becomes difficult to end.
At the same time, some of the escaped heirs of Xifa followed the example of Xifa and took the initiative to find the king's master, asking the country to take the initiative and help him regain the throne.
"Although Wei He is bound to be defeated, the centipede is dead but not stiff. Why is it like this?" When the news reached the Qishan Palace, the first reaction of the monarchs and ministers was not happiness, but suspicion, "Besides, Xifa is not Hele. He was in the prime of life and always in good health. Just over a month ago, he rode a horse and shot arrows, defeating all the heroes... In just a few days, he died unexpectedly and asked his brothers to kill his descendants? "
It seems that Xifa is about the same age as Chunjia. Wei He is different from the Central Plains Dynasty in that he values bravery more than talent and learning.
Xifa's mother's family was humble, and among the many descendants of the former Khan Mu'e, they were not outstanding.
He was able to ascend to the throne purely because of the rebellion caused by Hele, and he hugged Zhongyuan's thigh in time.
But his own force is not bad either.
Otherwise, when Hele rebelled, he would have died in the rebellion like his young brothers and nephews.
Moreover, in the complicated situation in recent years, it has always occupied a place, which shows that the means are still quite good.
How could he die just like Hele
"The news from the Imperial City Secretary is that they are suspected to be related to the Ji family." After Chunjia inquired, the newly promoted Imperial City Secretary came up to report and whispered, "It is suspected that the children of the Ji family have an agreement with Xifa, but Xifa has been After the defeat, he came up with the idea of exchanging the Ji family for peace. As a result, the matter was not handled strictly, and the Ji family was aware of it and colluded with his brothers to poison Xifa and eradicate his heirs... After that, Xifa's two brothers fell into internal strife. Chaos!"
Chunjia frowned and said, "Ji and Wei He... when did this start, and why did it end like this?"
The emperor was not surprised that Ji was related to Wei He.
Firstly, the Ji family once controlled the government for three dynasties. No one would believe that they had no contact with Wei He, the most important neighbor of the imperial court; secondly, Ji Minggan had fled all the way north and looked at the direction. Even when they went to Wei He, we could see that they were related to each other; thirdly, the Imperial City Department also found out about Huizhou, and there was a subtle connection between Wei He and the Ji family.
It's just that Wei He is not a fool. Even if he is involved with the Ji family, how could he not hold back a hand
Not to mention that Ji's family has collapsed now, how could they easily kill an important person like Khan by Ji's family
Even if it is to contact Xifa's half-brother, who is both inside and outside, it is too easy to succeed, right
So much so that Chunjia felt a little uneasy at the moment, wondering if the Ji family had been operating in the imperial harem for a longer time, so he was not so safe...
"Replying to Your Majesty, the descendants of the Ji family, under the name of stewards, have been secretly doing business with Wei He." The imperial city envoy said in a low voice, "Even the Xifa brothers have many concubines in their tents. The Ji family secretly sent it... It is said that the Ji family used these concubines to collude with Xifa's younger brother, thus setting off this turmoil!"
Chunjia pondered for a while and asked, "Where are the children of the Ji family?"
"Having taken advantage of the chaos, he escaped from the king's tent. It seems that he has fled to many small countries in the west." The imperial city envoy said, "If your majesty intends to arrest him, I will make arrangements for him now!"
The emperor thought for a moment and did not continue to talk about the matter. He just carefully questioned Wei He about his current situation.
Wei He's current situation is even worse than that of Mu'e when he first ascended the throne.
At that time, Mu'e was under the control of Hele, and the Dalan family fled with their young son. Although there was chaos, their vitality was not damaged.
Not this time.
This time it was several years after Wei He's continuous civil strife, and even some small tribes were already on the verge of annihilation.
Even the wealthy clans with many years of experience have suffered heavy losses due to their failure to stand in line.
All in all, they were not very optimistic when Xifa was there.
Now that Xifa is dead, the royal family is fighting among themselves again, and everyone has lost the energy to continue fighting against the king.
The monarch and his ministers discussed carefully for a long time, combined with the news that continued to be sent from the north, and determined that the Weihe royal family was really seriously damaged this time, and it is unlikely that they will have the strength to go north in a short time, or in ten or twenty years. , invaded the country.
This is certainly good news.
But now there is a question before them, which is who should be appointed as the new Khan
The state claimed to be the superior state of China, so it was impossible and unable to occupy the remote Weihe territory for a long time. Therefore, the owner of this grassland can still only be selected from the royal family.
Unlike Xifa at that time, the imperial court was also preoccupied with many things and had no time to think carefully. It could only take advantage of Xifa's initiative to extend an olive branch and support him as Mu'e's orthodox successor.
Now that the Weihe royal family has completely lost their ability to bargain, the descendants of the Mu'e sect and even the branches of the royal family basically have the final say on who becomes the new khan.
Yun Fenghuang was just happy that Xie Wuzheng and Xie Xiaoyu had made great achievements in this battle, and was looking forward to the news about the Jiang family. Then she heard a piece of news that almost made her explode: "Mother, there was someone in the past. The minister proposes to establish the young prince from the royal family of Weihe as the new Khan."
This is nothing, Yun Fenghuang also nodded slightly: "This is a mature and prudent statement. I had no choice but to set up Na Xifa in the first place. He was already in his twenties when he became Khan, and his eldest son can even ride a horse. At this age, No matter how submissive a person pretends to be, there is no guarantee that he is not pretending to be ambitious! Look, in the past two years, has he become more and more disobedient? When it comes to training, of course it is a good training for children. It is also Na Yisi He deserves it, if he is a serious and honest person, wouldn’t the position of Khan now be an advantage for him?”
As a result, Chen Jing hesitated for a moment and whispered: "The minister also said that our Royal Highness Zhaoqing is also eight years old, and Xu is the Dalan clan of the new Khan. In this way, Weihe Khan is our Majesty's son-in-law. In this world, How could a son-in-law disobey his father-in-law..."
"Asshole!!!" Before he finished speaking, Yun Fenghuang immediately turned his face, "Which old man said this!? You tell me, I will go to him to argue!!! My Zhaoqing is only eight years old. Even though she is still a child, I have not yet thought about her choice of a prince-in-law, but the old man has made up his mind?! Why doesn't he send his daughter over, put it in my name, canonize her as a princess, and send her to the hell? Dining and sleeping in the open on the grassland!?"
Chen Jing quickly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty also disapproved of it and said that there is no need to discuss this matter. The previous dynasty promised to marry the princess, which was a last resort. It definitely did not say that the dynasty had the upper hand and wanted to wrong the golden branches and jade leaves. reason."
"Your Majesty is a sage!" Yun Fenghuang was still angry and said in a hateful voice, "The country has a lot of money every year, what is the use of raising so many soldiers? These useless things are all fighting among themselves. A good player, when facing a foreign race, it is obvious that he wants to rely on women to solve the problem. Trash! Trash! What a bunch of trash! He should be exiled to Northern Xinjiang, and he is not worthy of serving as an official in the court for eight lifetimes!!!"
She cursed loudly, finally forcing Chen Jing to name all the people who suggested this, and then went to Xingxin Hall to find Chunjia and cry and complain.
When Chunjia heard that the imperial concubine came over angrily, she guessed what was going on and asked someone to come in and give her a seat. Before Yun Fenghuang could speak, he persuaded: "Don't worry, Zhaoqing is our most beloved daughter. How could I have wronged her? I have already scolded those ministers, and a group of old people are also confused and dare to say anything. If it were not for the fact that they have always been obedient and sensible, I would definitely not do it. Gentle."
"It is well known that His Majesty loves Zhaoqing, so they dare to mention it like this, which shows that they do not have His Majesty in their hearts." Yun Fenghuang refused to give up and continued to cry, "How can I be obedient and sensible? From my perspective, their Being obedient and sensible must all be a lie!”
She cried and insisted that Chunjia demote all the ministers out of the imperial capital before she would stop.
The emperor couldn't resist her. As he did this, he sighed: "Zhaoqing himself hasn't said anything yet, but Ahuang, you are getting anxious and angry."
"How old is Zhaoqing?" Yun Fenghuang said unhappily, "It would be too pitiful if she had to worry about such a life-long event! Besides, what does this mean for me, a concubine? use!"
After what happened, all the ministers knew what was going on, and no one dared to mention the matter of the princess.
But the next day, someone still brought up the idea of conferring a marriage to the new Khan as the Dalan clan, and the person who proposed it was Yin Qu. He knew that the emperor and the imperial concubine were both angry now, and it would be difficult not to be punished for bringing up the old talk in a short period of time, so Privately, he asked to see Yun Fenghuang and persuaded him: "Wei He's side will eventually establish a khan, and it will definitely be done at a young age rather than a long-term one. But how to make the new khan close to our dynasty, among all the means, there is always a way to grant marriage. Quite useful. Of course, Wei He was so humble, how could he match a serious emperor's daughter? In my opinion, it would be better to choose a distant relative from the clan for marriage, but if that is not possible, it would be fine to choose a conferred descendant from the palace maids. There is nothing wrong with it. It’s just a name. Look at the new khan from behind to the harem, so as not to be ungrateful. Do you think this is the truth, my queen?"
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The queen has several nieces and nephews."
Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "My nieces have a deep hatred for Wei He. How can they serve the enemy?"
"If the empress believes that the hatred of the Xie family is more important than the future of the Jin Dynasty, then I will say nothing." Yin Qu said calmly, "If not, no matter how much Wei He's vitality is severely damaged, he will eventually become a country, and a big one at that. To be honest, the identity of the Dalan clan in his country would not have been resolved by our country if it had not been for the continuous civil strife up to now."
The imperial concubine did not scold him this time, but said slowly: "Let me... think about it carefully."
Yin Qu is right. With Wei He's status as the Dalan clan, the dynasty can despise him, but this is the kind of contempt that people who stand at the highest position of a powerful dynasty can show.
For the daughter of a side branch of the Gongxiang clan, being able to marry the new Khan and become a Dalan clan is actually a very good future.
She is also the queen of a country.
The queen still has the support of the dynasty, so she knows that life will not be too difficult.
Of course, the conditions on Wei He's side are definitely not as good as those in China.
It’s just that in Middle-earth, not everyone can live well.
What's more, how many people can possess the dignity and glory of a country
The most important thing is that if Xie Mei, Xie Kuo and others become the Dalan clan of Weihe, it will definitely be of considerable benefit to the future of the King of Jin.
This was also the time when Chunjia relented and allowed the King of Jin to compete for the position of crown prince.
If Yun Fenghuang wouldn't consider it in the past, then how could he get this position? Because in this case, once the King of Jin fails to compete for the crown prince position, he can rely on the relationship with the Dalan family to reduce the risk of being driven out and killed. possible.
Yun Fenghuang waved his hand to send Yin Qu away, his thoughts were racing, and he considered it carefully.
