Section 25 Tengger Storm 3

"Hehe, Lord Bottel, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, as the high priest in charge of religious sacrifices, you want to interfere in something beyond the scope of your inquiry, and besides, the priests also feel that your performance has exceeded your authority, and I think the priests will deal with your actions reasonably. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Doni didn't want to talk to the other party anymore, and refuted coldly, "When the Luo Pei clan is living and dying, some people are still intriguing for their own personal interests, which will only make our Luo Pei clan fall into the abyss. The 500,000-strong army of the Chidi people has been mobilized, and the Anou army has approached the Mobei River Valley, demanding to take over our Mobei gold mines, and claiming that the sovereignty of the Mobei gold mines belongs to them, and there are even the shadows of the Chidi and Numidians behind this, and now the current strength of our Luope clan can resist these foreign enemies who want to turn us into slaves? But look at what we are still doing? Even the appointments are still lingering here, Lord Bottel, I wonder if you are one of our Ropes, and what are you going to do, or who do you think is better suited to take on this task than Lord Besan in this situation?"
Doni threw out the sovereignty dispute of the Mobei gold mine in a timely manner, and immediately attracted the attention of almost all the nobles, the Mobei gold mine is one of the largest sources of income for the nobles every year, if it is really taken away by the An'ou people, the nobles can't imagine what their lives will become, and then recall, now the prestige of the clan is worthy of this position except Tu Da is Besan, no one else is enough to take on this responsibility, Tu Da is newly defeated, not to mention whether he is suitable for this position in this situation, if he is allowed to serve as the commander of the escort army, it will also have a great impact on the morale of the escort army that is very likely to face the Chidi and An'ou people。
Before Bottel could reply, someone from the priests' council, who was sitting alone in the corner, stood up, "Lord Mise, according to the unanimous opinion of our priests' council, and in view of the fact that Lord Bottel's behavior has exceeded the authority given to him by our priests' council, our priests' council, after careful discussion, has decided to dismiss Lord Bottel from his position as high priest, and unanimously elect Lord Molema as the new high priest, and all religious and sacrificial affairs in the clan will be handled by Lord Molema from now on. ”
The priest's bland and indifferent words stirred up waves again, Bottel held the position of high priest for less than ten years, according to the custom, the position of high priest should be rotated for at least twenty years or so, unless there was a major mistake, I didn't expect that the priest would actually dismiss Bottel from the position of high priest for this reason at this time, which meant that Bottel was immediately beaten back to his original form, just an ordinary nobleman, and he no longer even had the qualifications to speak alone. The new High Priest, Molema, was a member of Watt's matrilineal family, which meant that the missionary power that controlled the spiritual and ideological aspects of the Rope clan had fallen into the hands of the pro-Watt faction.
Gas's heart gradually fell, this is undoubtedly a conspiracy, a perfect plot to seize power, Misse is undoubtedly the biggest traitor in the middle, he not only betrayed himself, but also helped the nobles who supported Watt's faction to take important positions, this has already made his choice clear, and Bottel's dismissal also confirms that they have already reached an agreement in secret, and even the priests have been controlled by them, what hope is there for him in this case?
Stunned for a while, Bottel suddenly stood up and screamed angrily, and the sharp scream was extremely harsh in the big tent, "This is a conspiracy, I will never accept it! I ask all the delegates of the Council of Veterans to vote to decide!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Bottel, the office of High Priest is not an administrative position, and according to the custom of our Lope people, its appointment and dismissal can only be elected by the Priestly Council. Doni's cold words interrupted the other party who was still arguing, "Now that all the members of the priesthood are here, if you disagree, you can verify it on the spot, I believe that all of you here can discern everything with your eyes, and do not let some arbitrary remarks sway your judgment." And Lord Bottel, if you attack again with this kind of slanderous language, I will have to ask the guards to silence you. ”
At this time, Doni fully demonstrated the authority of the powerful faction in charge of internal affairs and intelligence affairs for a long time, and the coldness revealed in the words was enough to make people think twice, although the nobles talked about it, but no one dared to stand up and question Doni's counterattack, after all, all the members of the priesthood were on the scene, as a high priest, if even all the members of the priesthood abandoned you, the high priest who lost his authority even if he retained this position is meaningless, it can only mean that you are too a high priest to fail. What's more, Bao Fa, the only real nobleman who has not spoken, also ignores it, obviously knowing this change for a long time, and the three major people in power have approved this decision, what this means, the nobles in the big tent can understand.
Some desperately looked around, everywhere Bottel's eyes went, the nobles almost without exception hung their heads or twisted their heads to the side, for such a loser, the best way is to draw a line, there is no need to let yourself be contaminated with anything, today's conference seems to have already decided the result, but some people know it, some people are ignorant, and some people are in the dark.
Seeing that Bottel's eyes turned, Vass had gradually calmed down his state of mind, he had been defeated, and he had been defeated completely, and some useless struggles could only show that he was even more unbearing, and ending with a surprising performance seemed to be more able to redeem his defeat.
He fixed his gaze on the faces of his uncle and brother, who were also as calm as water, and bowed his head slightly, and the eyes of the two exchanged in the air, and only after a long time did he sigh gloomily: "Lord Bottel, please don't say any more. Now that the priesthood has made its decision, we as the eagle's people must obey it. It seems that this meeting of senators should be able to elect a Khan who is strong enough to lead our Rope out of their predicament, and I propose that Watt be the next Great Chief of our Rope, I wonder what you think?"
A bright light flashed in Watt's eyes, he didn't expect that his uncle and brother would have such a bearing, and he would bow down when the overall situation had not yet been determined on the surface, in fact, he hoped that Gass could persevere to the end and let himself end this battle for the throne beautifully, but it seemed that Gass didn't want to give himself this opportunity, which made Watt feel a little lost. However, Watt quickly adjusted to this unfavorable state of mind, in this case, he had to make sure that his advantage turned into a victory, regardless of whether the opponent's words were from the heart or forced by the situation, his first thing to do at this time was to turn the opponent's proposal into reality. The aristocrats in the field were also moved by the magnificence of gas, and applauded to show their respect, and the atmosphere gradually entered the **.
Seeing that Watt was a little stunned for a while, Vaz stood up, looked around and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has no objection to my proposal, Master Misse, Master Doni, Master Bafa, Master Molema, can our Great Chief candidate be determined? If there is no problem, then let's ask Watt to take the throne with applause." ”
Things went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations, and almost no resistance was encountered, and Gass and the interest groups he represented gave up the competition, and on the surface, it turned into a helping hand for Watt's accession to the throne, which seemed to be a happy ending, but Watt knew that there were often many unspeakable troubles hidden behind this result, and this move to retreat into advance did make Gass win a lot of respect, which was not a good thing for himself who wanted to establish absolute authority.
But from the current point of view, at least the other side behaved decently, and the gas was indeed more suitable than anyone else in terms of liaison with the Hansen League, and the Hansen League soon agreed to send 30,000 troops to station in the border area, and another 50,000 troops were mobilized for war to put pressure on the Chidi, although this was only a superficial action, but it was rare to be able to make the Hansen Alliance, which had always been on the defensive against the Chidi, do so to this extent.
Tu Da led the remnants of the Eastern Political Army to return to the west quickly also brought good news, once surrounded and annihilated the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the four ranger regiments in the western Xinjiang followed closely behind the Western Expeditionary Army, this news also brought a huge impact to the Luo Pei nobles, but after Tu Da and Ha Xian and Besang analyzed the current situation, the Luo Pei nobles gradually realized that if they did not firmly rely on the support of the Western Xinjiang, I am afraid that this time the Luo Pei clan is really difficult to survive this hurdle, especially the sudden emergence of the Anou people in the north, an enemy who has not attracted attention again, makes the nobles feel the threat to their status。
Tu Da and Bessan, the two military leaders who had resolutely opposed peace with the western Xinjiang, caused a split in the conservative aristocracy, and a considerable number of conservative aristocrats gradually accepted the opinion of the military generals, including Ha Xian, that is, the entire grassland, including the Tengger grassland, is facing the great changes brought about by the tide of the times, and the Luope people are just the first to experience the benefits and pains brought about by the impact of the historical trend, of course, more confused, but one thing is certain, if they cannot quickly adapt and devote themselves to this tide of change, the Luope people can only struggle in this wave of tide, and eventually become drowning。 And now if you want to seek a new life in the tide, you can only bravely accept new things and boldly carry out changes, only in this way can the Luope people not be eliminated by the historical trend.
A new book will be published soon, so stay tuned.
