These words came to my ears, Yi Lu was shocked and thought of something, and his expression suddenly became a little solemn. He couldn't help but lower his voice, and his tone was even a little anxious: "Wen Changshi, please speak out whatever you want, don't hide it!"
Wen Qiao did not rush to respond, but walked a few steps to the side, chose a flat big stone to sit down. He flirted with the slender grass leaves in front of him and said slowly: "Well, Wen Qiao will take care of the grassland more in the past month; if the Great Shanyu wants to ask clearly today, I will not be the chief general of Pingbei, but as a friend. I hope you don't blame me for taking the liberty of family affairs."
Wen Qiao went on a mission to the northern border and put in a hard work in advance to understand the inside story of the Tuoba Xianbei. He knew very well that in modern times, the leaders of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe alliance were all descendants of Tuoba Liwei. However, the Xianbei people had no rules for inheriting power. Many powerful chiefs, Qu, had set off bloody struggles in order to seize the position of the Great Shanyu. Because he had been living in Luoyang for a long time, he had a good relationship with the Jin Dynasty and was keen on sinicization, the conflict with his brothers became even more intense.
As the heir of Liwei, De Mo Khan was framed and died on his way back to his country. His younger brother Tuoba Silu seized great power, but the relatives of De Mo Khan were very dissatisfied with Silu's rule and launched many resistances, resulting in the separation of the tribes and chaos in the country. Faced with such a situation, Silu died of illness after only eight years in power.
Xilu's younger brother Tuoba Chuo was fighting fiercely. After ascending the throne, he launched wars against the Yuwen Xianbei in the east and the counties and states in the northern border of Jin, trying to coordinate internal relations through active external expansion. However, this policy also made the power of the Desert Khan increasingly stronger.
After Tuoba Chuo's death, the Great Khan returned to the Desert Khan line, and his eldest son Tuoba Fu served as the leader. When Tuoba Fu's younger brother Tuoba Yi ascended the throne, he simply divided the entire Tuoba Xianbei tribe alliance into three tribes, including the Desert Khan's younger brother Lu Guan, the Desert Khan's son Yi and the Yilu brothers. On the one hand, this was to adapt to the current situation of tribe expansion, and on the other hand, it was to appease the only remaining Lu Guan among the Desert Khan's brothers.
After Yi??After his death, Lu Guan suppressed Yilu with the power of the eastern part, which represented that the political forces of the Desert Khan brothers once again planned the supreme power of the Tuoba Xianbei. However, he failed at the ceremony of the Dahan Mountain Sacrifice to the Heavens, and handed over the position of the Great Khan to Yilu. All the Desert Khan brothers were destroyed, and the only sons who survived Yilu also ended, which finally ended this struggle that lasted for a full thirty years.
The reason why Yilu was proud is not only because of the success of previous military operations, but also because of this huge political victory.
From then on, regardless of strength, reputation, bloodline, etc., he became a unique choice. He was the undisputed heir of Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Demohan, and the natural candidate for the Great Shanyu. This victory completely destroyed the conservative forces within the Tuoba Xianbei, and even made the long-loose tribes within the Tuoba Xianbei Alliance reach unprecedented unity. It was also the confidence that he dared to covet the Great Jin deep in his heart.
"However... after all, the Xianbei does not have a written inheritance system like the Jin people. After Lu Guan died, no one could get involved in the authority of the Great Shanyu? Da Shanyu, have you ever thought that although the struggle between the brothers of the Desert Khan and the sons was terminated, will there be no new conflicts between the brothers of Tuoba Yiyi and the sons?"
Hearing this, Yilu suddenly jumped up with his eyes wide open. He stepped towards Wen Qiao and punched hard!
With a dull "dong", the punch hit a poplar tree two or three people tall beside Yilu. The new Xianbei Da Shanyu was strong and had a strong body and proud of himself. This punch used all his strength again. Wherever his fist fell, the poplar tree shook violently twice, shaking off the leaves floating all over the sky, and the whole bark was
The skin on Yilu's back was also rubbed with blood. The nearby people who were serving far away were not sure what had happened, and rushed up to bandage him. However, Yilu was anxious and shouted loudly: "Get out! You all retreat! Get out!"
The servants retreated back.
"Da Shanyu, you should already understand what I am going to say..." Wen Qiao's face remained unchanged from beginning to end. He stood up and bowed deeply: "Do you still need me to continue?"
Yilu's chest was fluctuating violently, and it took a long time to calm down slowly. "You said!" he said stubbornly.
Yilu's brother, the former Tuoba Xianbei Da Shanyu Yiyi, was another hero of the Ba Xianbei after Liwei. He once expanded his territory to the west and destroyed more than 20 countries. He also responded to the call of Sima Teng, the governor of Bingzhou of the Great Jin Dynasty, to send troops to fight against the Huns, and received the Golden Seal of the Great Shanyu given by the court. In the eyes of the Tuoba Xianbei tribes, he was a brave commander and a generous and generous leader, and he still has to remember him. Many people believe that if he had not died young, he could have accomplished a grand and vigorous cause.
The third sons of the Desert Khan, Tuoba Fu, Yiyi and Yilu, served as the Tuoba Xianbei Grand Chanyu. Among them, Tuoba Fu had his son Yulu, but his subordinates were rare and had long been excluded from the core. He even failed to participate in the Dahan Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony. And Yiyi not only had three sons inherited the territorial tribes of the central Tuoba Xianbei, but his wife Weishi was also a witch who was responsible for representing the ancestors and gods in the Sacrifice Ceremony and had a high status.
"At the ceremony of worshiping heaven, Weishi failed to control the Nuo people under his subordinates, so they had accomplices with Luguan to cover up and kill you and your followers warriors." Wen Qiao recalled the situation at that time, and slowly said: "The situation was critical at that time, so Dugu Zheqian came to beg me and asked me to come forward to save your life no matter how it was. Now I think about it, maybe you had already conspired with Weishi, so no matter how bad the situation was, you just need to delay until Luguan cut his palm with the poisonous blade. The high position of the Great Shanyu is the thing in your pocket. But have you ever thought about it..."
Wen Qiao looked at Yilu and said slowly with careful words: "How sure can I be to let him show mercy on the court that Yiluguan has always despised the court? If my obstruction failed to achieve results at that time, Luguan killed you desperately, and he himself died suddenly... the person with the strongest strength on Danhan Mountain will be the next Tuoba Xianbei Grand Chanyu!"
Yilu looked a little confused. He followed Wen Qiao's inference and continued: "On Danhan Mountain, Weishi, who represents the ancestor god, has an important position. But she sat and watched the Nuo people of her subordinates conspire to kill me with Lu Guan, but she did not try to stop me from beginning to end. I thought she was weak and unbearable, so she was frightened by the betrayal of her subordinates... But to be honest, did she actually intend to destroy me and Lu Guan on Danhan Mountain? She... she actually wanted to kill me? Why? Why? She is just a woman!"
Yilu murmured and asked himself, feeling in dismay. Wen Qiao glanced at him with some pity and vaguely guessed why he used Wei as the greatest support for seizing the Great Shanyu. The Husbands had a custom of repaying widowed sister-in-law. After Tuoba Yiyi died, if he had not been able to deal with the aggressive Lu official, Yilu would have married this beautiful widowed sister-in-law into his own tent. He could even boldly guess that the two might have had an affair. At least Yilu had a deep affection for Wei, so he would have maintained his future, life and death on Wei.
Wen Qiao sighed and said in a deep voice: "Over the years, under the invasion of the eastern part of Tuoba Xianbei, the power of the central Tuoba Xianbei has become increasingly embarrassing, and it is entirely due to the status of Wei as a witch. Since Wei's death was able to maintain the situation in the central Tuoba Xianbei alone, he is definitely not an ordinary weak woman. He should not have sat on the Danhan Mountain to watch you fall into crisis and do nothing. What's more, as the wife of Tuoba Yiyi of the previous generation, her three children Pugen, Helio and Hena, are also qualified to succeed to the throne as Tuoba Xianbei Da Shanyu!"
