Chapter 169: Northern Desert Storm (2)
"You guys go down first! I have something to talk to Yehu in private." The Han woman sitting on Bazhuo's thigh waved her hand.
"Yes!" The two maids kneeling on the ground stumbled out of the tent as if they had been pardoned. They had been kneeling for so long that their legs were numb!
"Yehu, what are you thinking? Are you willing to give up the Khanship like this?"
"Do you think Yehu will let you go if Yehu ascends the throne? Think about it, once Yehu ascends the throne, how will he treat you?" the Han woman asked.
Although Bazhuo and Yehu are brothers, their relationship is like fire and water, like enemies. No matter who of them finally ascends the throne, neither will let the other go.
The two brothers killed each other to eliminate the trouble forever! Bazhuo knows this better than anyone else.
"Of course I am unwilling to accept this. I am the son of Khan and Khatun. The Khanship should belong to me, Bazhuo. But what can I do if I am unwilling to accept this now?" Bazhuo said.
"If you are unwilling to accept this, why don't you fight for it? If you don't fight for it now, you will never have the chance to fight for it again in the future." The Han woman said.
"I understand what you said. I know in my heart why I want Yemang to get the Khanship, but you can see that the ministers are all supporting Yemang."
"There are even fewer people who support me. Only those who are close to me in my own tribe will support me."
"I am alone and helpless. What can I use to fight with Yemang?" Bazhuo looked helpless.
Most of the ministers trusted by his father, Khan Yinan, came from other tribes, and Yemang often interacted with other tribes.
Naturally, they would side with Yemang instead of choosing Bazhuo, who had a grudge against them.
After all, although the entire Xueyantuo tribe was strong, it could not resist the union of various tribes, not to mention that the Uighur tribe was no weaker than the Xueyantuo.
He was weak, and if he dared to go against Yemang, who was supported by the ministers, he, Bazhuo, would be destroyed soon.
"It is precisely because of this that we should fight even more, and only by fighting can we have a chance! Why doesn't Yehu take advantage of the Khan's serious illness and catch Yemang and others in one fell swoop." The Han woman said.
"Are you crazy? Do you know where this place is?"
"This is the royal court of my Xueyantuo Khanate. Once we dare to act rashly, we will be hacked to death." Bazhuo said.
"It is precisely because this is the royal court that we should fight for it! We have a better chance. This is all the will of the Eternal Heaven. You are the Khan chosen by the Eternal Heaven." The Han woman said.
Bazhuo was stunned! Then she said, "Amei, I don't quite understand what you mean? What do you want to say?"
Bazhuo's mind was a mess after hearing what the Han woman said just now.
The Han woman sighed in her heart. She is really a simple-minded guy with developed limbs who can only think with her lower body.
If it were in the Central Plains, smart people would have understood what she meant by what she said just now?
But the Bazhuo in front of her didn't understand what she meant at all.
"This is the royal court. The royal guards are all soldiers from the Xueyantuo tribe. How can they let a prince who is close to a tribe with a different surname inherit the Khanship?"
"You are the son of Khan Yinan and Khatun, the prince with the purest Xueyantuo bloodline. Why don't you use the royal guards for your own use?" said the Han woman.
The royal guards guarding the royal court are all elite soldiers selected from the Xueyantuo tribe.
No matter how much Yinan trusts his ministers of different surnames, when it comes to guarding the safety of the royal court, he will not hesitate to choose soldiers from his own tribe instead of letting soldiers of different surnames to guard the royal court.
According to the rules of the Xueyantuo Khanate, after the new Khan takes the throne, the royal guards that originally belonged to the old Khan will be disbanded and reorganized.
The generals who led the royal guards would be replaced by the new Khan's confidants, and the new Khan's original guards would also be incorporated into the royal guards.
The royal guards were limited in number, and when new people joined, the old ones would be squeezed out.
"What do you mean?" Ba Zhuo was immediately enlightened by the Han woman's words. He was not stupid, he just couldn't think straight.
"That's right! Controlling the royal guards is equivalent to controlling the entire royal court. The Khan is seriously ill and may not have much time left. He may die at any time!"
"When the time comes, as long as you control the royal guards, you can not allow him to visit in the name of Yinan. When Yinan dies, you can say that it was Yinan's wish and you will inherit the Khanship."
"Even if they are dissatisfied at that time, we have the royal guards in our hands, and they can't do anything."
"When all this becomes a foregone conclusion, who can still oppose you? If anyone dares to oppose you, kill him." The Han woman said.
"Then how should I pull the leader of the royal guards? Yimang gave him a lot of treasures and beauties. Do we have to do the same as Yimang?" Bazhuo asked.
He felt that it was unrealistic to use gifts to win over the commander of the Royal Guards. In everyone's eyes, Yemang was a potential stock. He
was the only choice for the new generation of Khan. Unless the commander of the Royal Guards was kicked in the head by a donkey, it would be useless to give
him any treasures and women. As long as they were not stupid, no one would offend the future new Khan for Bazhuo.
"This question is simple, and you don't need to send any gifts. Didn't you say that this commander of the Royal Guards, Mengge, was your mother's former guard?" said the Han woman.
"Yes! Mengge was indeed my mother's guard. It was because of Mengge's loyalty that my father Khan made him the commander of the Royal Guards, commanding 30,000 Royal Guards." Bazhuo said.
He and Mengge still have some kinship, which is not something that Yemang, a bastard prince, can compare to.
With this relationship, Bazhuo is indeed more confident that he can pull Mengge over.
"When the time comes, you can promise the royal guards that as long as they support you, once you ascend to the throne, you will allow them to continue to stay in the royal court."
"They will still be members of the royal guards and will never be replaced by your personal guards. In this way, what reason do they have not to join you?" said the Han woman.
No matter where they are, the royal guards of a kingdom are treated the best.
No one is willing to give up the best treatment. The treatment received in the place where they are demoted may be worse than when they were in the royal guards.
As long as Bazhuo does not move the royal guards, they will stand on Bazhuo's side unconditionally.
Rather than choosing a prince who is close to a tribe with a different surname, it is better to choose a prince from one's own tribe.
"You are right. Why didn't I think of that? Ah Mei, you are really my lucky star. Baji!" Ba Zhuo's eyes lit up and he happily kissed the Han woman on the face.
In this way, he, Ba Zhuo, had a chance to turn the tables. As long as he controlled Wang Ting, the others would not be a concern.
