Li Xuandu was once a party to the change in the imperial capital, and he is no stranger to the struggle for the throne. After meeting Yuebie, Zixuebeihan, Haleleng, Wushu and others one after another, he already had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the royal court.

People's hearts are changeable, and as the old khan gets old, his courtiers naturally have to plan for the future, lest after the new khan ascends the throne, they will lose their current power and status, and the most direct choice is to support the new lord. One servant cannot serve two masters, but if he supports a new master, he will turn away from the old master. Although they were reluctant to betray the old khan in their subjective will, they had already turned away from the old khan in actual actions, so in the emperor's later years, the most defensive thing was his son.

According to age, the Golden Horde and Emperor Sejong are the same generation, and now the Tianbao Emperor is the grandson of Emperor Sejong. Old Khan's eldest son, Mingli Khan, is already an old man who knows the destiny of heaven, and the youngest son Yaomu Khan is not yet thirty years old, from the perspective of Old Khan, the eldest son has waited too long, and it is difficult to predict how much patience he has, so it is necessary to strictly prevent the eldest son from taking risks. The young son is very young, and he still has enough patience to wait, far from the time when he is in a hurry, so the young son can be trusted. From the perspective of the Golden Horde as a whole, each alternation of the throne of the Khan will lead the kings to war, which will wear down the strength of the Golden Horde. Based on his own reign time, if the eldest son is at sunset, even if he can inherit the throne, he will be the king of the Khan for twenty years at most, and after twenty years, he will have to fight for the throne, while the younger son is the rising sun in the morning, young and strong, and can be the king of the Khan for sixty years, and the Golden Horde will have stability for sixty years. Coupled with the custom of keeping the stove for young sons, the preference of the old Khan is very obvious.

However, Mingli Khan also has his own advantages, he is more than thirty years older than Yaomu Khan, and his thirty years of operation have made him gain countless vassals, even the old Khan cannot dispose of Mingli Khan at will, in terms of strength, it is far from being comparable to the young Yaomu Khan. If it weren't for the old Khan supporting his young son, Yaomu Khan would not have the strength to fight against Mingli Khan at all.

If the old Khan dies now, the disadvantageous side should be Yaomu Khan, and the benefit side is Mingli Khan, because every day that the old Khan reigns, the strength of Yaomu Khan will increase by one point, and the advantage of Mingli Khan will be weakened by one point. If the old Khan dies before the great trend of Yaomu Khan is achieved, then Mingli Khan can still have an advantage, and the possibility of winning the Khan position will be greater.

However, judging from Zixue Beihan's attitude towards marrying his sister, the supporters of Yaomu Khan did not panic, which means that although Lao Khan has not appeared in public for many days, it has not yet reached the time when the oil is exhausted.

The attitude of the old Khan's henchman also indirectly proves a point.

The biggest possibility is that Lao Khan's body is indeed in trouble, he is recuperating, it is inconvenient to show up, and he is still in control of the situation in the royal court. However, the possibility of secrecy cannot be ruled out. Now that Li Xuandu has been invited by Wushu to see Yaomu Huhan, he can take this opportunity to spy on one or two.

As for why Wu Shu invited Li Xuandu on behalf of Yaomu Khan, the reason is also very simple. Yaomu Khan, Moon Parting, and Wushu are all masters and factions.

Ili Khan supported the Great Yan clan and Mingli Khan, and Ili Khan was the commander of the cowardly Xue army, although he was not responsible for defending the royal court and the old Khan, but he led the foreign expeditions. In other words, as long as the Golden Horde went to war with the Great Wei, Ili Khan would be able to hold military power. If the old Khan died in the course of the war between the two countries, and Ili Khan led a large army back to the royal court, Mingli Khan would have an absolute advantage, so Ili Khan and Mingli Khan were the main battle factions and advocated the use of troops against the Great Wei. On the other hand, Yaomu Khan must be the main and faction, and strive for stability. With the favor of the old Khan, he has gradually gained an advantage in the royal court, as long as war does not break out, he can bind both Mingli Khan and Iri Khan in the royal court, and once the old Khan dies, he can quickly take control of the royal court, defeat the competitors, and then ascend to the throne. Then it is reasonable that Yaomu Khan attaches importance to the envoy of the Central Plains.

Generally speaking, looking at the entire Golden Horde, it was Mingli Khan who had the advantage, and only in terms of the royal court, it was Yaomu Khan who had the advantage.

After thinking about this, Li Xuandu had an estimate of his next trip. It should be a situation where Mingli Khan wants to kill himself and Yaomu Khan treats himself as a guest. At the same time, Li Xuandu also admired the parting of the moon a little, her trip was clearly a failure of the peace talks, as long as the news was transmitted back to the royal court, the main battle faction would have the upper hand, and her life was in the hands of others and had to lead the wolf into the house, once the matter was revealed, she would definitely die. In such a desperate situation, she was able to take advantage of the situation to come up with an idea of pretending to be an envoy of the Central Plains, which not only saved herself, but also helped the Lord and faction stabilize the situation to a certain extent. From this point of view, Li Xuandu felt that Yue Parting had the potential to become the second Xie Pheasant, and Xie Pheasant was also in the gap between Li Daoxu, Zhang Jingxiu, and Xu Wugui, the three earth immortals, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a desperate situation, Xie Pheasant can be left and right, and finally turn defeat into victory, which is not amazing.

Under the leadership of Wu Shu, Li Xuandu and Yue parted first through the enclaves of officials and merchants, and then through the aristocratic enclaves of the Nayan people, and finally came to the palace of the kings. It is said that it is a palace, but it is actually a palace, compared with the palace in the imperial capital, it is inferior in terms of scale and fineness. However, this is also reasonable, if the royal court of the Golden Horde is better than the imperial capital of Great Wei, then there is no need for them to raise troops to the south every year.

The style of the palace is modeled after the palace of the Central Plains, and there is an obvious golden horde style. There is no need to open the middle door here, the main entrance is always open, and you can enter directly from the main entrance. The vultures were obviously people who often went in and out of the palace, and the guards of the palace didn't even ask for anything, and let them go directly.

After entering the palace, the number of Golden Horde warriors decreased significantly, and the figure of women gradually increased, needless to say, this is the maid of the royal court, and Xiao Yan, as the biological mother of Yaomu Huhan, naturally will not treat her son lightly.

Wu Shu led Li Xuandu and Yue to a richly decorated hall, asked the two to wait for a while, and then turned into the back room connected to the front hall. After a while, I heard a very loud yawn from the back room, as if someone had just woken up and was stretching.

In another moment, the Vushu came out of the inner chamber, and a moment later a young man in the Golden Horde came to the antechamber. The man looked like he had just woken up, half-squinted, and not very energetic. In this cold weather, he stepped barefoot on the layers of felt carpets in the living room, and his upper body was just casually draped in a robe, exposing his chest, revealing chunks of distinct muscles, looking very burly and strong.

This is the son of Lao Khan and Xiao Yan, Yaomu Khan. His physiognomy was typical of that of a Golden Horde, with shaggy messy hair and a thick beard, resembling a male lion.

Yaomu Khan yawned, his eyes first fell on Yue Li's body, there was a smile on his face, and he said casually: "Old Yue is back." ”

Yue Parting was obviously also a person who was familiar with Yaomu Huhan, so he didn't take a formal approach, but just nodded.

Then Yaomu Khan's gaze shifted to Li Xuandu, an outsider, and before he could ask, Wu Shu had already spoken: "This is the envoy of the Central Plains. ”

Yaomu Huhan raised his eyebrows: "You are the envoy of the Central Plains?"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "I was ordered by the Lord of the Ministry to come to meet the Great Khan of the Golden Horde. ”

"Ministry?" Yaomu Huhan frowned, looked at Wushu, and asked, "What kind of official is the ministry?" ”

Wu Shu explained: "The ministry is the governor, the official position of the Central Plains people is very complicated, the governor has the official position of the six ministers, so the governor is called the ministry, and the governor has the official position of the imperial envoy, and the imperial envoy is also called the imperial history in ancient times, so the governor is called Zhongcheng." ”

Yaomu Khan shook his head: "It's really tedious. ”

Li Xuandu said: "Your Highness ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Yaomu Huhan waved his hand and said, "Don't bring the hypocritical etiquette of you Central Plains people to the Golden Horde, you don't have to call me Your Highness, and you don't have to call Old Khan Your Majesty." You can call me Yaomu Khan. ”

Li Xuandu remembered that when Yue parted and talked to Hallen, he also added the name to symbolize his identity, and it seemed that it was the custom of the Golden Horde, so he nodded in response.
