The Nayan of the Golden Horde can be divided into two parts, one of which lives in its own territory, similar to the local government officials of the Central Plains, and the other part of which lives in the royal court all the year round, similar to the central officials of the Central Plains. Yue Parting is undoubtedly the latter, so she also has her own mansion in the royal court. During the time that Li Xuandu was waiting for the arrival of Xiao Yan's birthday banquet, he had been living in the mansion of Yue Li.

Today, a guest came to visit, it was Zixue Beihan, who had a relationship with Li Xuan. Of course, Zixue Bee Khan did not know that he had met and fought with the famous envoy of the Central Plains, and after he arrived at the royal court, he first went to meet the Xiao Yan clan and Yaomu Hu Khan, learned of the existence of the envoy of the Central Plains, and then came to the mansion of Yueli in the name of visiting his friends.

Yue Farewell understood Zixue Beihan's intention, and after a little greeting, he invited Li Xuandu to meet Zixue Beihan.

Zixue Beihan didn't recognize Li Xuandu as the assassin in Yanyunguan that night, and he didn't meet the arrogance of the town guard and the gloom in private, and Li Xuandu greeted each other very politely, and was as gentle and elegant as the son of a family in the Central Plains.

Li Xuandu took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Zixue Beihan is going to marry his sister to Yaomu Huhan. ”

"Exactly. Zixue Behan nodded, "When my father, that is, the previous generation of Zixuebee Khan, my sister and I were still young, and many Punzhi Nayan wanted to seize the throne, and in the end, it was the Xiao Yan clan who spoke for me in front of the old Khan, so that I was able to inherit my father's throne." After I became Zixue Behan, because I was still a minor, I lived in the Golden Tent of the Old Khan, and was taught by the Xiao Yan clan, and there was also Lao Yue and Wu Shu, who also lost their fathers, and we were all partners who grew up together since childhood, and we have known each other for a long time. It wasn't until I became an adult that I left the Golden Horde of the Old Khan with my sister and returned to the realm. ”

Li Xuandu still had such a past until the month of parting, from this point of view, the Xiao Yan clan began to lay out a long time ago, looking for subordinates for his son, and the others of the month parting have indeed become the help of Yaomu Huhan.

"I've heard about the matter of Yaomu Khan. He said that he was just confused for a moment and was carried away by anger, so he sent someone to attack Lao Yue. Presumably Mr. Qin can also understand the mood of a man when facing a woman who betrays him, after all, Yaomu Huhan has always regarded Lao Yue as one of his clans. Zixue Beihan said with a smile.

Li Xuandu asked: "Zixue Bei Khan's sister is going to marry Yaomu Hu Khan, didn't Zixue Bei Khan think about marrying Yue Bei Khan?"

The smile on Zixue Beihan's face stiffened slightly, and said: "Mr. Qin should know that there will not be a harmonious relationship between women, and it will usually be accompanied by various fights, in this case, instead of letting other women occupy the position of the Yan clan against my sister, instead of giving the position of the Yan clan to Lao Yue, her sister can protect my sister instead." ”

"But the moon parted that

Yan didn't seem to like Yaomu Khan, but mentioned Zixue Khan more often. Li Xuandu said: "We have a saying in the Central Plains, called 'childhood sweethearts', from the famous sentence of the poet: 'Lang rides a bamboo horse and goes around the bed to make green plums.'" Living together for a long time, the two have no suspicion. 'From this point of view, Zixue Beihan and Yue Parting Nayan are also childhood sweethearts, so didn't you think about making this old childhood friend your princess?"

Zixue Beihan laughed dryly and changed the topic, "The envoy came all the way to the royal court, and he didn't care about which princess I married." ”

Li Xuandu said: "Of course not, I am more concerned with the alliance between the two countries." ”

Zixue Beihan raised his tone slightly: "Two countries?"

Li Xuandu said: This alliance, strictly speaking, is not an alliance between the old Khan and Emperor Tianbao, but an alliance between the future Great Khan and Zhao Butang. ”

Zixue Beihan laughed: "Soldier to soldier, general to general, of course the emperor corresponds to the emperor." Although the governor of the Central Plains is high and powerful, he is only equivalent to the Golden Horde, Yexian Nayan or one of the kings, why should the Great Khan of the Golden Horde form an alliance with a person of unequal status?"

Li Xuandu smiled: "I said, it's the future Great Khan." ”

Zixue Bei Khan immediately understood, "It turns out that the envoy thinks that Governor Zhao can enter the imperial capital. ”

Li Xuan was noncommittal and said: "The old khan is too old, even if he forms an alliance, he doesn't know how many years it will last, if the new khan ascends the throne, everything will have to start all over again." Emperor Tianbao is too small, the milk smell has not dried up, and he is longer than the hands of a woman in the deep palace, how can he entrust great things? Therefore, the Golden Horde needs a young Khan king, and the Central Plains needs a mature emperor. ”

Zixue Beihan clapped her hands: "The envoy's words, I think so." I wonder who the envoy thinks is the most suitable candidate for the new Khan?"

Li Xuandu said: "I am not a Golden Horde, so naturally I will not start from the position of the Golden Horde, I will only look at the new Khan from the position of Liaodong, so the most suitable candidate for the new Khan is of course someone who is willing and sincere to ally with us in Liaodong." ”

Zixue Behan laughed and said, "I like the frankness and sincerity of the messenger. If the envoy were to analyze the most suitable candidate for the new khan from the standpoint of the Golden Horde, I would have to wonder if the envoy was hiding some shady conspiracy, but I was very relieved when the envoy said so. ”

Li Xuandu said: "The alliance is for the sake of cooperation, the new Khan has the enemies of the new Khan, and we also have the enemies of Liaodong, borrowing from each other and achieving things for each other, as for the future, then we will talk about it later." ”

Zixue Bei Khan nodded, and said: "Since the words have come to this point, I will also say some things to the envoy, according to the envoy's speculation, the old Khan has already found a candidate for a new Khan, but this person is neither the most powerful Mingli Khan, nor the most favored Yaomu Khan, let alone Iri Khan, because

Ili Khan controlled the cowardly Xue army and was powerful, and he did not want the support of the old Khan. The only candidates left were the Khan of Sugar, and the Khan of Naija. I know that Old Khan still has many grandchildren, but they are like Emperor Tianbao of Great Wei, they are too young, how can the young eagle that has just left the nest compete with the eagle that has been flying for many years? With the physical condition of the old Khan, he will not be able to hold out on to the day when the young eagle will become an eagle. ”

Li Xuandu did not fully agree with Zixue Beihan's words, and said: "The key to whether a young eagle can become an eagle is not age, but how much wind and rain it has experienced. ”

After Zixue Beihan heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Xuandu and said, "As Yaomu Khan said, Mr. Qin, the envoy from the Central Plains, is a wise man. ”

Li Xuandu laughed and said: "The old Khan is secretly supporting the new Khan, every day of delay, the new Khan's wings will be fuller, and when the new Khan completely soars, the others will either kneel down and admit defeat and let the new Khan fall, or stay away from the royal court and go to the vast snowfields in the far north, which is equivalent to exile." In this case, whether it is Mingli Khan or Yaomu Khan, he will not sit still. ”

Zixue don't sweat and smiled.

Li Xuandu continued: "As far as I know, Ili Khan believes in orthodoxy, although he supports Mingli Khan to succeed to the throne, it does not mean that he will help Mingli Khan kill his father and usurp the throne. ”

Li Xuandu asked: "I don't know if Zixue Bei Khan has thought about it, since Ili Khan is loyal to the old Khan, will his support for Mingli Khan be a scene that he and the old Khan will play together." ”

Zixue Behan was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, the reason why Ili Khan supports Mingli Khan is because of the Great Yan clan." Ili Khan and the old Khan were half-brothers, and Ili Khan's mother died young, and it was the old Khan and the Great Khan who raised him. In the words of your Central Plains people, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Because of this, Ili Khan was loyal to the old Khan, but he supported the old Khan when he was disgusted with the Khan. ”

Li Xuandu thought for a while, "Although it is rumored that the Great Clan is not as favored as the Little Clan, but judging from the current situation, the real power of the Great Clan may not be very large, but it has great influence, and it can affect the decisions of the royal court shaman and Ili Khan, and she is the wife of the old Khan, hiding behind the old Khan, it is difficult for the kings to directly target the Great Clan, and only the Little Clan can compete with the Great Clan." So I hope to meet him before his birthday feast. ”

Although Li Xuandu's words were more tactful, Zixue Beihan still understood his surprise, in the camp of Yaomu Kuhan, it is Xiao Yan's clan who really has the right to decide, not Yaomu Huhan on the surface, Li Xuan has to see the real principal.

Zixue Beihan pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best to arrange for the envoy to meet with the Yan clan." ”
