Taiping Inn

The Khan King and Lao Khan are just verbal names, and the official name is the Great Khan. The kings under the great khan called it "khan".

Before Li Xuandu went to the Golden Point, he had learned about the kings of the Golden Point in detail. In the Central Plains, all the kings were named after the ancient country names, such as Jin, Chu, Qi, Qin, Yan, etc. Xu Wugui was the original King of Qi. In the golden tent, he was not called the king, but added the name of the sweat. The founding lord of the Golden Horde had a total of five sons, all of whom were kings and passed down from generation to generation. Many thousand-houses are branches of these five kings, and the moon parting is the branch of the moon that is the moon that is the parting of the sweat. The Khan of this generation has sons and brothers, and he is also a king. Ili Khan, who led his army to attack Xijing, was the youngest brother of the Khan.

Today, there are ten kings in the Golden Tent royal court, five of which have been passed down from generation to generation, four sons of the Khan king, and one young brother of the Khan king. However, every time the Khan throne changes, these Khan's sons will raise a big fight, and the winner will become the new Khan. The Khan harp in the past was abandoned when he was a prince, and the loser was defeated and died, and the Khan harp was abandoned for many years. After inheritance, the five princes who have been passed down from generation to generation have not changed, but the other five positions have been replaced from time to time, so there is a distinction between the left and right.

The Zixue Beichan mentioned just now is one of the five kings passed down from generation to generation, while Yaomu Huhan is the youngest son of the Khan King of this generation. The two families are ranked ten kings and are distant relatives, so it is not uncommon to get married.

Yue Li was afraid that Li Xuan would not know these khan kings, so he introduced: "There are ten kings in the royal court, namely the five left kings: Yue Zhibi Khan, Badu Khan, Sui Ge Khan, Mo Ge Khan, and Zixue Bihan , The Five Right Kings: Yili Khan, Mingli Khan, Yaomu Hu Khan, Naita Khan, and Shigan Sweat. In the words of the Great Wei, the Five Left Kings are the royal family, and the Five Right Kings are the royal family. You Great Wei respect the left However, our gold tent is respected by the right. The five kings of the right are always in the royal court, and their status is higher than that of the five kings of the left. Zixue married his sister to Yao Mu Hu Khan. It seems that he has recognized Yao Mu. Hu Khan can inherit the position of Khan."

When Li Xuan heard the words of "the royal family" and "the royal family", he couldn't help but smile, and he just felt it was appropriate.

According to Yueli Farewell, the four princes who really compete for the throne were: Mingli Sweat, Yaomu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu Hu He is the youngest son, the one who is most loved by the old khan, but the remaining Naita Khan and Shi Gan Han are not as good as these two. However, the mothers of these two are from the powerful family of the Golden Treasures, so they should not be underestimated. Moreover, there is a tradition of brothers who end up with each other in the golden tent. Although Yili Khan is loyal to Lao Khan, he is Lao Khan's brother after all, so it is hard to guarantee that he will not have the idea of ​​fighting for the Khan throne. In addition, the five kings on the right are competing for the throne, and the five kings on the left will not be on the wall, but they are afraid they will bet on the sidelines. The current situation in the royal court is not a word of chaos.

Li Xuan thought about this and couldn't help but shake his head.

At this moment, this long-distance team was getting closer and closer, and Li Xuan could clearly see the expressions on the front-line cavalry's face.

Li Xuan didn't want to attract attention and said, "Let's go back."

Although Yue Libi has a friendship with both families, it is not easy to encourage Li Xuan to participate in the matter. I am afraid that Li Xuan will be suspicious of her again, and she is so tired that she will lose her life, so she nodded and agreed. .

Shortly after the two left, this huge team arrived in front of the city gate.

There were already guards and officials who died in the snow in the city. On the grassland, no matter how adults and children were, there was no poor riding skills. Although the guards had been pampering for many years, they did not lose any riding skills. The guard officer rode his horse to the luxury carriage not far from the reins, and the war horse nipped a long neigh. The man stood up. He turned over and dismounted and saluted, "See Zixue and don't sweat."

The gold-inlaid window of the carriage opened from inside, revealing a slightly pale face. Zixue looked in her thirties, as if she was not in good health, with a bit of sickness, but her eyes were full of thick The coldness reminds people of the hungry wolf on the grassland, as if they want to choose someone and eat it, making people feel scared. He looked at the local garrison officer and asked lightly: "Have Yan Yan ever arrived in the city after leaving Yue?"

Because the Five Left Kings have been passed down from generation to generation, they have relatives. Yue Zhi Bei Han and Zi Xue Bei Han are relatively close and are allies. Although Yue Jie did not inherit the Khan throne, they are also the face of a thousand households. He is a person of the same generation as Zixue, so Zixue’s Bedhan has this question.

The garrison official lowered his head and said, "Report to Zixue, don't sweat, Yueli's farewell to the city."

Zixue was stunned because according to Yueli's itinerary, she should have arrived at the former site of the royal court earlier. Even if she had not stayed in the city for a long time, she should have left a record with the guardian. Could it be that she went directly to the royal court? Intersection Or did you encounter an accident on the road?

Thinking of this, Zixue subconsciously narrowed her eyes, which made the guards feel numb and chills on her back. After a while, he heard a cold snorkeling, and then the sound of the car window closing, and the guard officer quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I heard Zixue's voice coming from the carriage: "Go into the city."

The team began to move forward and drove into the city in a mighty manner.

The guard officer hurriedly turned over and rode the horse, took a few steps, and came to the front to lead the way.

Such a large team, at least thousands of people, Li Xuandu could hear the sound of more than a thousand people entering the city even in the inn, knowing that it was Zixue Biehan's wedding procession entering the city. The reason why he didn't want to stay on the top of the city for a long time was because he sensed the presence of powerful people in the team. If he was far away, the other party might not be able to discover him, but if he was close, it was hard to say. However, Li Xuandu also found an interesting thing. The style of the masters in the Golden Tent was very different from that of the Central Plains. The masters in the Central Plains were afraid that others would notice their details except when necessary, and they wanted to pretend to be an old, weak, woman or child who was powerless. Li Xuandu had been in the Central Plains for a long time and was also infected with this kind of problem. But the masters of the Golden Tent were completely different. They were very ostentatious, afraid that others would not know that they were masters. The aura was radiating around, like a tiger patrolling the mountains, with a strong deterrent meaning. The Great Wei was established on farming, and the Golden Tent was established on nomadism. The latter was more warlike. I think this is the difference in folk customs.

At the site of the old royal court, there is a Taoist temple called Yanyun Temple. Legend has it that Changchun Zhenren was invited to the royal court by the Khan of the Golden Horde. The Khan of the Golden Horde was unable to return because he was leading troops in battles outside, so he specially sent people to build a Taoist temple for Changchun Zhenren to live in. So Changchun Zhenren settled down in this Taoist temple and waited. Later, after waiting for a long time, Changchun Zhenren set off for the Daxue Mountain Palace. After the Wei army captured the royal court here, they destroyed countless palaces and houses, but left this Taoist temple. The Khan of this generation returned to the site of the royal court several times to worship, and also held ceremonies in this Taoist temple.

Because of this, there are many mansions near this Taoist temple, all of which are the most noble and powerful figures in the city. This time, Zixuebie Khan entered the city and stayed directly in the Taoist temple. The Golden Horde is not like the Wei Dynasty. There are not so many rules and etiquette. Moreover, the relationship between the kings and the Khan is similar to that between the vassal kings and the court. It is not comparable to those empty princes who have the title of prince but no fiefdom and military power.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, there is a statue of the Taoist ancestor, but it is different from the statue of the Taoist ancestor in the Central Plains. This statue has some of the characteristics of the Golden Tent, which is similar to the appearance of the Buddha statue after Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains.

At this time, Zixuebiehan stood in front of the statue of the Taoist ancestor with his hands behind his back, looking up at it.

Not far behind him stood a young girl with gorgeous clothes. She was Zixuebiehan's sister.

The girl lowered her head and did not speak. She seemed to be very afraid of her brother.

Zixuebiehan had a cold face, and his eyes were full of gloom when he looked at the statue of the Taoist ancestor. He did not look like a man riding a horse on the grassland, but a young man from a deep courtyard.

After the brother and sister were silent for a long time, Zixuebie Khan finally spoke: "After Yaomuhu Khan inherits the throne of Khan, you will be Da Yanshi, the most noble woman in the entire royal court, and your son will be the next Khan."

The girl bravely said: "The old Khan is the god of the grassland, the messenger sent by Changshengtian to guard the grassland, and he will not die."

"The old Khan is a human, not a god. If he is a human, he will die." Zixuebie Khan's tone was cold: "This is not something you should care about. What you need to do is to give birth to a son for Yaomuhu Khan as soon as possible."
