Genghis Khan was silent for a long time before scolding his second son: "What are you talking nonsense about? Isn't Zhu Chi my son? Isn't Zhu Chi your eldest brother? Don't talk nonsense like today in the future. You brothers There should be less fighting and more friendship..."
When Chagatai saw that his father had made his attitude clear, he knew that there was no point in messing around anymore.
On the other hand, he thought again, Jochi must not be allowed to inherit the throne of Khan. If I treat him like this today, will I die without a burial place in the future when he takes the throne? So he immediately suggested again.
"Brother Jochi is very skilled in martial arts. My eldest brother and I should be my father's right-hand men and expand the territory for the empire. The third brother is kind and generous and is the best candidate to inherit the throne of Khan."
Later, in the competition for the Khan position, no matter how hard Chi fought, it seemed that his bloodline issue was always a big obstacle that he could not overcome.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the position of Khan fell into the hands of his third brother, Wo Kuotai, and died young in depression.
Although Jochi died, the problem of his bloodline not only did not disappear, but instead remained as a permanent scar on his family. This is also the fundamental reason why Badu and other Zhu Chi families are squeezed out by other families.
In the third generation and Batu, what they least have to deal with is the other three lines represented by Guyu, Meng Ge, Buli, etc.
Zhang Han saw clearly that these methods of attacking enemies cannot be prohibited at any time in the upper-level power struggle. Even if there is no bloodline issue, there will be other issues. Isn't there still less fighting between Wokuotai and Tuo Lei?
It's just the obvious target of the Zhu Chi family that makes the three families seem to be inseparable. In the end, everyone is still fighting for the core issue of rights.
Just like Zhang Han himself, as a representative of the Yelike Dun family, he will inevitably be involved in this game of power.
"Prince-in-law Zhang Han, are you planning to go back?" Maybe he thought he got along well with Zhang Han, so Batu squeezed out a smile on his usually stern face and greeted Zhang Han from a distance.
In order to get information from Batu, Zhang Han changed his cold attitude when he saw other people just now and smiled kindly at them;
"I took advantage of the fact that I don't have to go on duty today and sat down with Marshal Subotai for a while. It's getting late, and I'm afraid your little aunt is rushing home because she's impatient!"
"That's it! My brother-in-law, I won't bother you anymore. You can go back as soon as possible. Don't keep my sister-in-law waiting." After saying this, Batu wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Han.
Zhang Han's goal has not been achieved yet! How could you let the other person go so easily?
He hurriedly stepped forward to stop the other party and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come back with me, just in time to see your sister-in-law. What a coincidence, your sister-in-law was talking about you two days ago! What a coincidence that we meet today? It's good for you guys Aunt and nephew talk to each other, and the acquaintance will lead to feelings."
Batu always has a serious expression on weekdays, and others can tell at a glance that he is a very dignified person. In fact, this is also true, otherwise he would not have been the second son who was not favored by his father and finally ascended to the throne of the Golden Horde step by step.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Batu, who had been living in a power struggle since he was a child, quickly realized that this Zhang Han's consort did not exclude him like others before. He also explained that the other party was smooth in dealing with things and that the government would not flatter others.
Today's uncharacteristic appearance stopped him. Even fearing his own rejection, he actually brought out the other party's wife and his sister-in-law. There must be some purpose.
After pondering for a while, Batu stopped leaving and decided to agree to the other party.
One is because I can't refuse the excuse given by the other party. If you decline an invitation from your elders, if others, especially your competitors, find out, it will once again establish your unsociable image in the eyes of everyone. It makes people think that you are very arrogant and have no sense of dignity. My sister-in-law is nowhere to be seen, it’s just a pure expression of being untrustworthy.
Another reason is also related to his current situation.
Although he seems to be powerful because he is Jochi's second prince, in fact he is not.
Things have been pretty bad for him since his father passed away. It doesn’t matter that other factions are hostile to our faction, even the eldest brother of this family, Orda. Also because he was afraid that his second son would threaten his status, he secretly hated himself.
He is disliked in all aspects. For him, he is now completely isolated politically. This is quite bad and unacceptable for an ambitious person like him.
Now someone finally extended an olive branch to him. Even though he knew that this olive branch might be thorny and not easy to accept, Batu was still ready to take it.
After such a long time, the eldest brother's position has become more and more stable, and he urgently needs to break out of the circle.
"Really? That's great! I haven't seen my little aunt for a long time. Unexpectedly, my little aunt is still thinking about me, a child that no one cares about."
After pondering for a while, after thinking about it, Badu first looked like he was surprised, and then he looked like hesitant and asked.
; "It's just...will it disturb the prince-in-law and sister-in-law? After all, you just got married not long ago..."
He was interrupted by Zhang Han before he finished speaking; "It doesn't matter! There is no need to worry so much. We are all one family."
At this point, Zhang Han leaned into Batu's ear and whispered: "To tell you the truth, your sister-in-law was angry with me for some reason this morning! I was worrying about how to comfort her when I got back. What a coincidence. Just met you.
Let's go back together. Maybe your sister-in-law will be happy to see you and stop being angry with me! How about it? Just do me a favor. . "After saying this, Zhang Han winked at Batu, with a look of pleading in his eyes.
"Tch! You're just fooling me." After hearing this, Batu curled up the corners of his mouth without any trace.
Regarding Zhang Han's words, one cannot believe even a single word of it, and it is also half-truth and half-false. He knew in his heart that this was still just an excuse. The purpose of the other party's trip has not yet been revealed. But that didn't stop him from pretending to be stupid.
Batu first deliberately showed a trace of pity, and then, as if he had made great determination, he gritted his teeth and said as if he was risking his life;
"Okay! I will be taken over by Zhang Han's consort. Even if I live up to Batu's face, I have to let my aunt get rid of her anger towards the consort!"
What I want is your words, Zhang Han secretly thought. Since the other party has agreed. Quickly make a surprise gesture;
"That's interesting! Come on, let's go back right away. I was so worried just now, but now there is hope!"
After Zhang Han finished speaking, he immediately led the other party towards his home.
Batu, who agreed to Zhang Han's invitation, did not hesitate. He silently followed Zhang Han and ran forward without saying this. What Zhang Han was talking about with him was all about the filial piety of some parents, so he could only agree casually.
Batu tried to find out Zhang Han's intentions several times, but was fooled by Zhang Han's laughter. Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Batu stopped asking. Anyway, he knew that Zhang Han would tell him sooner or later.
During this period, Zhang Han also took out a package and said to Batu mysteriously.
"I've got some stuff, I'll give you a real treat today."
This piqued Batu's interest. He also tasted Zhang Han's barbecue, and from his heart, it was indeed very delicious. Looking at the other party's mysterious look, he guessed that he must have gotten something good.
Thinking of the barbecue I had last time, I couldn't help but look forward to this trip.
Zhang Han also secretly observed the other party's performance all the way. Under the magnifying glass, he could see all the changes in the other party's demeanor.
The corners of the mouth are slightly raised, smiling secretly;
Little boy, I thought you were so awesome! Aren't you being held captive by me? I won't take anything from you today. I'm sorry for all the effort and delicious food I'm about to prepare!
Honey in mouth and sword in belly.
Both of them are very young. It can be said that enemies meet enemies, they are either brothers or enemies!
But at this time, these two little foxes thought that they were extremely smart and could easily control each other! Little did he know that the other party was also scheming slowly, let's see who is better!
After returning home, Zhang Han immediately led Batu straight to his tent.
"Madam! Madam! Look who I brought to you? Madam...huh?"
Zhang Han shouted to his wife at the top of his voice before he even entered the room. As a result, he opened the curtain and found that there was no one in the room.
"Where are the people?" Zhang Han asked doubtfully; "Usually you are waiting for me at this time!"
Batu followed Zhang Han into the living room. He began to scan the furnishings in his tent.
A green gauze curtain separated the living room from the inner room, and the living room was also divided into a reception area and a dining area. Except for the slightly faded "happiness" hanging on the roof, there are very few gold and silverware in the entire living room, and even the floor is not covered with Persian carpets commonly used by Mongolian nobles.
The square huanghuali table facing the door is considered the most valuable thing in the entire tent. Other than that, there don't seem to be many other luxury decorations. Although the furniture and ornaments are not expensive, they make Batu feel an indescribable charm and elegance.
After scanning the layout and style of the room, Batu had a general impression of Zhang Han and his wife. Judging from these clues, this couple is not extravagant people, but they should like the style of literati in Han Dynasty...
Um! what is it call? ...Yes, elegant~
After Zhang Han put the baggage he was carrying on the dining room table, he searched inside and outside the house, and sure enough, Li Kedun was not at home.
He had no choice but to smile apologetically at Batu, and was about to go out and ask his servants where the princess had gone. Before Zhang Han could walk out the door, the curtain in front of him moved and was lifted.
"Princess, my brother-in-law has come back. Let me just say it! We ran too far today." The first person to come in was Hailancha, the maid of Yelikodun. "
Let him wait a little longer! how? Are you heartbroken? "Giggle~" Then Yelikedun's words almost made Zhang Han embarrassed to the point of autistic, and he hurriedly pointed at Yelikedun who had just poked his head in, and pointed vaguely at Batu on the side.
Blinking his eyes, he said harshly, "Don't be ridiculous! Your nephew is here to see you today." Don't you always talk about your little nephew...'?
As soon as he entered the tent, Yeli Ketun saw Zhang Han winking at him. After listening to his words, he looked at a group of Batu who were standing respectfully. Yelicton's ruby eyes rolled around twice, and she instantly understood what her husband meant.
Yeli Ketun immediately smiled and stepped forward to help Batu, who was about to salute him. He looked at the other person up and down with a concerned look on his face;
"How come my nephew has lost so much weight compared to last time, but your elder brother deprived you of your supplies? Don't worry, I will help you seek justice. I think you want to be beaten!" Yeli Ketun said while waving his hand. Small fist, filled with indignation.
Regardless of whether the sister-in-law was sincere or fake, the words of concern she said still made Batu, who usually lacked the care of his relatives, instantly turn red in the eyes.
His nose twitched twice, Batu forced a smile on his face and said;
"Aunt Lao cares about her nephew, don't worry! Big brother didn't treat Batu badly. As for why he is so thin now, it's... just because he was too fat before...!" At this point, Batu was still embarrassed. The ground scratched his head. It was very different from his usual calm and courageous image, which made Zhang Han click his tongue in surprise.
Batu at this time. How can Batu Khan look like a shy big boy in Europe in the future?
"Puch..." Yelikedun covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, and the image of that chubby little guy with a runny nose suddenly appeared in his mind.
When I was young, the one stumbling on one side chased after me. The little boy who was calling his aunt has grown so big! Ye Li Ke Dun sighed for a while.
At this time, Zhang Han on the side intervened and said, "Okay, let's continue your relationship as aunt and nephew! Today, I'm going to grab some good things. I'll do them myself in a while, and I'll keep them for you to talk about."
