Chapter 338 Undercurrent
The witch doctor was already on standby, but Minzhen didn't dare let more people know.
After all, it has only been three or five days since the last time I was sick.
More importantly, the Great Khan could not be awakened this time no matter what. The situation was very bad. If the clan leaders in the royal court knew about it, the situation would be out of control.
Inside the king's tent, the second wife had already been gagged and forced to kneel on the ground with her shoulders tied.
After the eldest lady brought Zhu Mingqing in, some clan leaders who had spies around the king's tent also got the news.
This time is completely different from the previous situation.
There was chaos outside the king's tent. Minzhen had no choice but to ask the eldest lady to come forward and deal with it.
So everyone gathered in the meeting room next door.
The eldest lady sat in the first seat, and on her left was the chief elder of the Huyan tribe, followed by Chief Charan and other tribal leaders.
The first ones on the right are Borboyuan and Borhaiye, as well as some small tribes dependent on the Bor people.
The eldest lady sat there listening to their discussion without saying a word.
"The royal court must have a leader!" the Hu Yan clan's great elder said solemnly, "The Third Prince is the most suitable candidate right now!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Chief Charan, eager to watch the fun, said, "The Fourth and Sixth Princes, under the guidance of the Great Khan, have become extremely capable. Of course, this chief doesn't disagree with the Third Prince, but I think that to avoid any disputes, it's best to speak clearly about the matter!"
Supporters of the Fourth and Sixth Princes also spoke up, and their words were filled with the Great Khan's praise for them in the past and his admonitions to the Third Prince.
After all, the Great Khan’s previous order was to let the third prince reflect on his mistakes in seclusion!
In the end, he even brought up the death of the eldest prince and trampled on the third prince to death.
The great elder of the Huyan tribe had a dark face. This was because the Great Khan suddenly fell ill, otherwise how could these people commit such a crime?
"Madam, isn't that right?" The Fourth Prince's grandfather, an old man with white hair, suddenly changed the topic to the Madam.
After he reminded them, everyone remembered that the Great Khan had handed the matter over to this lady.
So everyone suddenly became enthusiastic and wanted to get the support of this lady.
The eldest lady pretended to understand nothing and said, "Whether it's the Third Prince or the Fourth Prince, as long as he can bring better benefits to the royal court and let everyone live a better life, he will be the Great Khan in the hearts of the people!"
He was just playing Tai Chi all the time, it was as if he hadn't said anything.
No matter how these people asked her to express her opinion, the eldest lady just responded with a smile.
The situation between the two sides was that you didn't give in and I attacked you, and at one point they almost got into a fight. No one wanted the other to gain power.
In the end, nothing was achieved.
And with the help of the Great Khan's last order, the Lady gradually took control of some of the power of the royal court.
Even if someone resists, it will be of no avail.
After all, the Great Khan has not woken up yet, and the two brothers Minzhen and Minxing, who control the military power, now obey the orders of the Great Lady.
In the end, there was no conclusion reached. In short, neither side was convinced.
This was exactly what the eldest lady wanted, and she ate an extra bowl of rice at dinner.
"Madam is now in much better health. I hope you will be more open-minded in the future." Fen Tao said respectfully.
These days, Fen Tao has been taking care of her. If she wasn't Madam Ming's person, she would have wanted to stay.
She said sincerely, "Dr. Ming, thank you!"
Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly: "As long as Madam doesn't forget the friendship between us, that's all that matters."
The word "friendship" was emphasized, and the eldest lady understood it clearly in her heart.
"I wonder when Doctor Ming is going to leave?" she suddenly asked.
Now no one is stopping me. If I want to go back, I can leave tomorrow.
Zhu Mingqing blinked and said, "I wonder if the Madam would be interested in discussing a business deal?"
kindness?
What business?
The eldest lady was curious, but her expression was calm: "Doctor Ming, please speak."
Zhu Mingqing said slowly, "If Madam wants to take power, she must gain the support of more people. What can make people like more than money?"
The eldest lady's heart trembled. "But we have already started cooperation in the sugar business. Is it possible to expand production?"
If this is true, it is indeed good news.
Zhu Mingqing shook his head: "The grassland is such a good pasture, it is a natural resource. I want to purchase furs in large quantities, especially wool."
The eldest lady thought it was some big deal and said indifferently, "It's a simple matter and can be settled tomorrow."
Zhu Mingqing knew that the other party would not know the value of the wool, so he simply said, "It's better to make three rules. I won't take advantage of you, Madam. Let's sign the contract as we wish. After all, I want the wool from the entire grassland. As long as you can find it, I will accept it."
The eldest lady's expression changed slightly: "All the wool?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly. He had originally thought of cooperating with Cha Yin, but it would be stupid not to utilize the ready-made resources.
The eldest lady was very clever and immediately asked, "But does wool have any special uses?"
Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly: "It's a business secret. If there's a chance in the future, maybe we can have a deeper cooperation."
But that's all in the future.
The eldest lady thought quickly. If all the wool on the grassland could be sold, the lives of almost every household could be improved.
Maybe we won’t have to go hungry in winter anymore.
Then my goal may really be achieved.
Although she had been obsessed with controlling power before, she could only plan in secret. Otherwise, if any abnormality was revealed, the entire Bor tribe would be wiped out!
But if we can really do what Madam Ming said, the people will raise more cattle and sheep, save money, and store food for the winter...
Thinking of the possibilities of the future, the eldest lady's heart was filled with excitement.
That night, he called his eldest brother, Bor Boyuan, and said, "Brother, I need the support of the Bor clan!"
Borbo was shocked by his sister's ambition, but at the same time his heart trembled violently.
"So, the Great Khan's body has something to do with you?"
The eldest lady did not give a direct answer, but said: "Big brother should understand the Bor people's situation better than I do, so this time, we must succeed!"
Borbo thought of the humiliation he had suffered before and the fact that his only son almost lost his life.
Instead of sitting and waiting for death, why not give it a try!
The opportunity will soon come.
The Great Khan's health was getting worse day by day, and rumors gradually spread in the royal court that the Third Prince couldn't wait to take the throne, so he joined forces with the Second Wife and many members of the Hu Yan tribe to poison the Great Khan!
Taking this opportunity, the eldest lady immediately summoned the Hu Yan tribe and several tribal leaders, and told them that she could lead the people to make money.
"impossible!"
The Great Elder of the Huyan Clan was the first to disbelieve it. His face turned pale. "Madam, you should just stay quiet and be the Khan's wife. Don't get too involved in the affairs of the royal court. Otherwise..."
He snorted coldly, his tone threatening.
The other junior clan leaders did not dare to contradict her, but they wanted to know in their hearts whether what the eldest lady said was true.
