Helan Ne's face was gloomy, and she said nothing as she listened to these words entering her ears in the cold wind.
Ba Ba Song walked up to the stage, pressed his hands on his chest in front of Tuoba Gui, and knelt down on one knee: "My lord, all the Ba Ba tribe will obey your orders. May the Kunlun God always bless you, bless the country of Dai, and bless you." grassland!"
Tuoba Gui nodded with satisfaction, picked up a gold seal from the small case on the side, and handed it to Babasong: "In the name of Kunlun God, as the lord of the country, I make Babasong the Lord of the South. All the tribes north of the Great Wall and south of the Khan's court will obey your orders and come under your jurisdiction! Lord Baba, don't let me down!"
At this moment, the audience was like a huge stone thrown into boiling water. There was an uproar immediately. Most of the tribal leaders looked at Helan Ne in surprise. On one side was the leader of the Hetu Neighbor Tribe. , an old man in his fifties with a goatee, said loudly: "Your Highness, please forgive me for not being convinced by your arrangement."
Tuobagui's eyelids twitched slightly, he withdrew the golden seal that was being handed to Babasong, and said in a deep voice to Wudijian: "Master Wudijian, please tell me what's wrong with my decision, let you Can’t you be convinced?”
Wujijian took Helan's right hand with one hand, raised it high, and said: "Everyone on the grassland knows that the Helan tribe has contributed the most and made the greatest contribution to the restoration of the country this time. Lord Ne, not only gave the tribe's garrison place to the Tuoba tribe, but also personally sent people to contact various places and convened this conference. Shouldn't he be the first to receive the title for such a credit? Besides, the south Sir has always been the most important official position on the grassland. How can Ba Ba Song be more virtuous than Sir He Lan and sit in this position? I, Fudi Jian, will be the first to refuse!"
Many tribal leaders also shouted: "Yes, we don't accept it either!"
"Master Nannan should belong to Master Helan, and Ba Ba Song is not worthy!"
"Your Majesty, even if you take over as the leader of the country, you must be fair in dealing with things and not act arbitrarily. The Baba tribe is a close relative of your tribe, but you cannot take this important task just for nothing!"
Tuoba Gui looked at the audience coldly, and the doubtful voices gradually subsided. Thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at him, and Babasong, who was kneeling on the ground, whispered: "My lord, what you are doing is indeed inappropriate. No matter what, Master Helan..."
Tuoba Gui suddenly said loudly: "You have heard clearly, I, Tuoba Gui, am the most fair in dealing with matters. In this great cause of restoring the country, I will remember clearly the contribution of everyone who has contributed and fulfilled their responsibilities." It’s clear and absolutely unbiased. There are three reasons why we decided that the first person to come to power and take over as the Southern Master must be Baba Song.”
Wujijian sneered: "Then please ask our king to explain to everyone here what these three reasons are, so that we can learn a lot."
An Tong, who was always fully armed and standing on the stage, came out with a sword in his hand and glared at Wu Dijian: "Master Wu Dijian, please pay attention to your words. You are now talking to the Lord of the grassland, the King of Dai. As Do his ministers have such a tone?"
Tuoba Gui smiled slightly and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I'm right, don't shout loudly. Master Wudijian's Hetu neighboring tribe is most of the grassland. He also protected and helped our ancestors of the Tuoba family back then. He has questions. Of course, you can mention it. Sirs, listen carefully. I asked Babasong to be the southern master, and he was the first to be granted the title. There are three reasons. First, the Baba family has been the southern master for generations. In the Dugu tribe, Before I took over as Lord Nanfang, my tribe had held this position for hundreds of years, don’t you think so?”
All the tribal leaders looked at each other and nodded: "Yes, it is true. The Ba Ba family has been in the south for more than a hundred years."
Wu Dijian shook his head unwillingly and said: "But now Babasong only has about a thousand subordinates. Thirty years ago, the Southern Master became Liu Kuren, and later he became Liu Kuen, and then passed down to Liu Xian. He has never left the Dugu tribe, and just because Babasong left the Dugu tribe, you want him to be the master of the south?"
Tuoba Gui nodded: "Yes, Mr. Wudijian, Babasong not only left the Dugu tribe, but he was also the first tribal leader in the entire grassland to come to me. Not only himself, he also brought the entire tribe. Take the initiative to seek refuge with me. My twenty-one Yuan warriors came with their whole family, but the Helan tribe took me in and did not take the initiative to seek refuge with me. This is different from Lord Baba. Why not return the southern master of the Ba tribe to the Ba tribe from the Dugu tribe of Liu Xian who rebelled against our country?"
Tuoba Gui's voice was filled with unquestionable determination and was so loud that it made Wu Dijian's eyes widen and he was unable to say a word.
He Lanner coughed lightly and said: "What the king said is absolutely true. These two reasons are indeed true, but the king should also consider the tradition of our grassland. To be a leader, one must have strong soldiers and horses. At least in the area you rule, you can intimidate all the tribes. Although Lord Baba is commendable for his loyalty, with the current Baba tribe, I am afraid that he will not be able to replace the Dugu tribe as the master of the south."
Helan's voice spoke slowly, causing many tribal leaders to nod their heads. A trace of amusement flashed across Wu Dijian's face, and he smiled: "Master Helan speaks well and is knowledgeable. Everyone said, right?"
There was a sound of agreement at the scene, and Tuoba Gui said with a smile: "Of course what Lord Helan said makes sense, but we on the grassland are not completely power-based. If we don't have enough power, we can't be a guard. , then I came back from the south alone, not to mention a thousand tents, not even one tent, so according to this statement, should I not be the acting king?"
Helan Ne's face changed, her mouth opened wide, and she was speechless. The audience, which had been chattering just now, suddenly became quiet again.
Tuobagui helped up Babasong and said seriously: "Dear leaders and gentlemen, on our grassland, for many years, the strong has always been the king, and strength has ruled the roost. This is indeed our tradition, and it has also created our Tragedy, our grassland warriors are all the pride of heaven, but why have they been suppressed by the Han people in the south for hundreds and thousands of years since the Xiongnu Khanate? Are they stronger than us? Are they braver than us? Is it because they have more horses and faster bows and arrows than we do? No! It’s because they are united and orderly, and can make the people and nobles in the country think in one place and work hard in one place! And our strength is always internal consumption. Lost!"
