Chapter 689: It's more cruel, okay?

After a long inkblot, the words between the Khan of Batyr and the Prince of Temur were finally finished.

Anyway, the final result was that Prince Temur and the leaders of the wolf kings were temporarily imprisoned, waiting for the Khan of Batel to decide how to deal with them, and as for the rebels who mutinied together, the Khan of Batyr publicly announced that they were bewitched and therefore pardoned them, but they would be under the command of the Khan of Batel to atone for their crimes.

This is naturally the best result for those rebels, so they have bowed down to Batel Khan to express their willingness to submit, which shows that Batyr Khan is also a man with brains, at least knows how to subdue people's hearts, and also took the opportunity to strengthen his own power.

At this point, this short mutiny can be regarded as a successful end.

After teaching his subordinates to deal with the remnants of the royal capital and the follow-up matters, Batel Khan finally invited Zuo Yang and Li Hanqiu into the royal court together with Uzhina, and let all the guards and servants avoid it for the time being.

"Your Excellency, as you can see, what should Temur and those leaders of the Wolf King do?"

After no one was around, the Batyr Khan stepped forward, made a Tatar customary salute, and said to Zuo Yang quite humbly.

He had already understood the beginning and end of the matter just now, and naturally knew that Zuo Yang had now become the "messenger of the god of the grassland", so there was nothing wrong with this title.

"Khan, we Ming people don't say secret words, you know that I am not a messenger, at best, I can only be regarded as a Han person who passes through the noble land, so we don't want to be like this between us."

Zuo Yang took a step to the side to avoid this salute, and then gave a fist salute to Battle Khan, and said with a smile.

"There is a legend among us Tatars that whenever the Tatars are faced with a crucial choice, the god of the steppe will choose a man as a messenger to bestow 'sorcery' and make him descend on the steppe to lead the Tatars to the light...... Whether you are the messenger of the steppe god or not, if you can teach those Tatars outside to think that you are, then you are, and even I cannot change this fact. ”

Battle Khan finally said the reason for this "misunderstanding", but at the same time, it can be seen that he is actually very sensible, and the last sentence is even more to say the true meaning of politics, it doesn't matter what you are, what matters is what the people below think you are, then you are what you are.

Foolish people are politics!

Fooling the people is a lie, so politics is equal to a lie.

"I don't understand this, and I don't want to understand it."

Zuo Yang simply pretended to be stupid, whether it was a game or reality, he didn't want to participate in the so-called politics, and he didn't even want to have anything to do with it.

Moreover, there is more than just a good thing to be a master...... Although Zuo Yang did not regard Batyr Khan as his lord at all, he had only one lord, and that was the lord of Xichi Palace.

"The messenger has said that the god of the steppe will personally judge Temur and those leaders of the wolf king, I wonder how this judgment will be carried out?"

Battle Khan changed his way and asked the question he had already asked before, which was what he wanted to know the most, after all, many people had heard this sentence and were waiting for this trial.

"It depends on whether you want them to die or if you want them to live."

Zuo Yang grinned.

"Temur colluded with those leaders, the wolf kings, to mutiny, and it would not be a good thing for the Tatars to keep them alive...... Even if Temur is my son. ”

Battle Khan is also a ruthless man, and said categorically.

"That's easy."

Zuo Yang thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "You can use burning at the stake, don't you have a sacrificial ceremony next month?" When the time comes, they will be burned at the stake, and if the god of the steppe decides to pardon them, then they will not be burned to death, and if the god of the steppe decides to punish them, it will be their actions that have angered the god of the steppe, and they will die innocently. ”

“……”

As soon as he heard this, Li Hanqiu immediately glanced sideways at Zuo Yang.

Messenger of the god of the steppe!

Why don't you be burned at the stake and see if you will become a BBQ or be protected by the god of the steppe?

This thing is really not a good person, such a shameless and cruel thing can come with just open your mouth!

“……”

Uzhina couldn't help but glance at Zuo Yang, Temur was her own brother after all, even if she did something wrong, she could accept cutting off his head with a knife, but she couldn't accept Temur being burned alive.

"Uh......"

Battle Khan's face was also a little pale, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Messenger, is there a way to be gentle?" ”

"Let me think about it."

Zuo Yang thought for a moment, and finally his eyes lit up and asked, "By the way, are you Tatars also popular for celestial burials?" Do you think that celestial burial is the most noble almsgiving, an important practice of soul immortality and reincarnation, and the greatest respect for the deceased? ”

"That's true......"

Battle Khan nodded.

"Then let's bury it in the sky! If they were not eaten by the vulture after three days, then it means that the god of the grassland has pardoned them, and if they are eaten, it is another form of pardon from the god of the grassland, at least it means that the god of the grassland has not given up on them, has not erased their souls and allowed them to enter the reincarnation...... How about this method, I can't think of a gentler way than this, it's literally the best of both worlds, what do you think? ”

Zuo Yang said with some excitement, no matter what others thought, he first praised his wit.

“……”

Li Hanqiu immediately fought a cold war, and he was even more cruel, okay!?

Anyway, the stake will be burned for a short time, and this heavenly burial will be eaten by the Hu vulture for three consecutive days, what is the difference between this and a capital punishment called "Ling Chi" in the Central Plains!?

"This way it works!"

How do you know that after hearing this, Batyr Khan immediately nodded in agreement, because Zuo Yang's method was indeed in line with the funeral customs of the Tatars, but he asked again: "But...... Why open several wounds? ”

"Don't you want them dead?"

Zuo Yang said as a matter of course, "And they must die, if they survive this heavenly punishment, some people will think that they are right and you are wrong." ”

"That's right! Thank you, Emissary, for your advice! ”

Batyr Khan finally dispelled the doubts in his heart, and made up his mind to say, "This time the envoy has done the Tatars a great favor, from today the envoy will be the national teacher of the Tatars, I believe that with the presence of the envoy, the Tatar iron cavalry will finally break through the Yanmen Pass and take the most fertile land in the world one day!" ”

"This ......"

As soon as he heard this, Zuo Yang's face immediately turned embarrassed, "Khan, I don't know if Princess Uzhina told you that I didn't come to the royal capital to be your Tatar national teacher, but with other purposes, if the Khan can be generous, I am grateful." ”

"Oh? What purpose? ”

Battle Khan was stunned.

"I need a batch of medicinal herbs, and Princess Uzhina once said that you have all these herbs in your arsenal, so I came."

Zuo Yang said with a smile.
