Qilaobaat'er said with some worry: "Khan, you should take good care of yourself now, and see them again when you are well."
Nishu now looked like he was going to die soon, and the leaders could tell the truth at a glance.
"If I didn't see them, they would think I was dead. Don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, they won't dare to do anything." Nishu's pale face showed a trace of confidence.
Rumors are spreading everywhere now. If he keeps hiding his face, I'm afraid there will be big trouble soon.
"Let people pack their things and withdraw the troops tomorrow." Nishu said.
"Withdraw troops?" Qilaobaat'er was stunned. Once they withdraw their troops, all their previous work will be in vain.
The grassland is not like the Tang Dynasty where there are cities to defend. Once the troops withdraw, the territory they conquered before cannot be defended at all, and it will not be long before it will be reoccupied by Xue Yantuo.
"That's right, withdraw the troops. I don't have much time. I plan to go back and pass the throne to Tong'eshe." Nishu said.
Sangre Xituo was only loyal to Nishu, and he did not have any trouble with Nishu's words. Even if Nishu asked him to commit suicide, he would not hesitate at all.
But Qilaobaat'er and Yuan Qi were not as calm as him, especially Yuan Qi. When Nishu said that he wanted to pass the position to Tong'eshe, he quickly said: "Abba, I am your son, and everything about you
I should inherit everything."
In the Turkic inheritance system, a son can inherit everything from his father, including women.
Except for his biological mother, in Yuan Qi's eyes, everything about Nishu should be his, including his throne.
Nishu sighed. When he woke up and learned that Tong'eshe had recruited Sangre Xituo, wouldn't he be angry?
He didn't want to pass the throne to his son, but he felt that his body couldn't hold on much longer and he had no time to pave the way for Yuan Qi.
Even if he passes the position to Yuan Qi, he can't hold it.
Forcing Yuan Qi to inherit the throne will only harm him.
"You go down first." Nishu said to Lao Baater.
Qilaobaat'er knew that Nishu had something to tell Yuanqi, but Nishu did not let Sangrexituo go down with him, but let him go, obviously not trusting him.
This made him feel a little resentful.
Nishu was able to master the Western Turks so quickly, and he had a share of the credit.
Being able to buy back Liuli Lang is also his credit.
Although this mission to the Tang Dynasty was plotted by the Tang Dynasty, can you blame him for this?
But Nishu wanted to push him away at this critical moment, which made him feel chilled.
Even if he had resentment in his heart, Qilaobaater did not dare to show it, bowed respectfully and left.
Nishu looked at Yuanqi, but Yuanqi was very angry that he wanted to pass the throne to Tong'eshe and didn't look at him at all.
Nishu smiled bitterly and said: "My child, my father won't live long. Even if I pass the throne to you, you won't be able to keep it. This will only harm you."
Yuan Qi didn't feel that he couldn't defend it at all, and said stubbornly: "As long as I become the Great Khan, the other tribes will surrender to me. Even if Tong'eshe wants to launch a rebellion, he will not succeed."
Nishu shook his head slightly, if only it was what Yuan Qi thought.
When Mohe Duo assassinated Tong Yehu Khan and proclaimed himself the Khan, after he claimed to be the Great Khan, the ten surnames of the Western Turks were dissatisfied. Many tribes jointly elected Ni Shu as the Khan.
However, Nishe did not agree and chose to welcome Ashina Zheli Teqin, the son of Yehu Khan, to become the Khan.
Doesn't he want to be a Khan?
No, he thought too, but the time was not yet ripe.
Yuan Qi has no prestige at all. If he can live a few more years, he can pave the way for him, but his time is running out now.
Nishu didn't explain this to Yuan Qi. He knew that all Yuan Qi's thoughts were on Khan Wei, and he wouldn't listen to anything he said.
"I will pass the throne to Tong'eshe. After I die, you and Sangre Xituo will go to the Tang Dynasty immediately, otherwise Tong'eshe will definitely kill you. If you don't want to die, just do as I say." Ni
Miao said with some indifference.
He did not want to pass the position to Tong'eshe, but he had deep feelings for the Western Turks and understood that only by passing the position to Tong'eshe would the Western Turks not fall into civil strife.
Nishu also knew very well that even if he passed his position to Tong'eshe, Tong'eshe would not be grateful to him and let Yuanqi go.
"I will not go to the Tang Dynasty. If you want me dead, just pass the throne to Tong'e She." Yuan Qi roared angrily.
After saying that, he ran out without waiting for Nishu to say anything.
"Yuan...cough cough cough cough...cough cough." The violent emotions triggered the illness, and Nishu almost fainted from the anger.
Sangrexituo looked at Nishu with his big eyes, feeling a little at a loss.
After a while, Nishu calmed down and said: "Sangre Xituo, once I die, whether Yuan Qi wants it or not, you immediately take him to the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Seriously speaking, Nishu and Li Shimin are still sworn brothers.
Of course, the sworn relationship between the two was actually just for show.
Nishu later became the Great Khan, but he did not refrain from plundering the Tang Dynasty because of his sworn relationship with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin killed all his brothers, so naturally he would not take this sworn brother seriously.
But Nishu knew that Yuan Qi could only save his life by going to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin could not do anything to Yuan Qi. On the contrary, in order to show his generosity, he would reward Yuan Qi generously.
But Yuan Qi couldn't understand his intentions, and instead hated Nishu because he was unwilling to pass the position to him.
"yes."
If other people heard Nishu say this, they would definitely say something like longevity, but Sangre Xituo didn't know that. He knew what Nishu said and he would do it.
Nishu asked him to send Yuanqi to Chang'an. Then once Nishu died, he would send Yuanqi there and would not care whether Yuanqi wanted to or not.
It was also because of knowing this that Nishu entrusted this task to him.
Qilaobaat'er did not leave after leaving the king's tent, but was waiting not far from the king's tent.
He wanted to eavesdrop on what Nishu said, but the guards didn't give him a chance.
Not long after, Yuan Qi ran out with an angry look.
"Ye Hu, why did you come out? How is Dahan?" Qilaobaat'er came up to greet him and said.
Yehu, the official name of Turks, Uighurs and other ethnic groups, has a status second only to Khan.
Although Tong'eshe was named King Zuoxian, King Zuoxian was inherited from the Xiongnu period. Among the official positions of the Xiongnu, King Zuoxian's status was second only to Shanyu, the Khan of the Turks.
However, in the Turkic official system, the status of King Zuoxian was lower than that of Ye Hu.
"Don't worry, he won't die yet."
Nishu wanted to pass the throne to Tong'eshe, which made Yuanqi very angry, so he was not polite at all.
Qi Laobat'er was happy in his heart, but he pretended to be displeased and said: "How can Ye Hu say such things about Da Khan? Da Khan is your father."
"He is about to pass his throne to someone else. He is not my father." Yuan Qi said angrily.
Qilaobaat'er sighed and said: "I don't agree with Tong'e setting the throne. In my opinion, Ye Hu can lead the Western Turks to glory and is the best candidate to inherit the throne of Khan."
