"That's it." Guo Ponu thought for a while and said, "Then I don't know what she is planning. This is obviously not a good result."
"Do you think Theodora also wants to be the Great Khan?" Guo Kang said with a smile.
"Everyone can see it, right?" Guo Ponu curled his lips: "No matter how good you pretend, some things cannot be hidden. But this will definitely not have any good results, so I don't bother to care about her. Remember to follow her She just needs to keep her distance."
"So that's what it means." Guo Kang finally understood: "But compared to the Central Plains, the puppets of the Ilkhanate are actually living... okay."
"How do you mean this?" Guo Ponu asked strangely.
"At least these two people survived." Guo Kang told her: "The Su Laiman I just mentioned, he mutinied not long after he became the Khan."
"Sheikh Hassan the Younger had a concubine who was having an affair with one of his subordinates. Worried about being discovered, the two men acted preemptively and killed the prince. He was only 24 years old when he died and had no heir. As a result, there was chaos in the country. Su Laiman took the opportunity, led Sadibe and others, plundered the residence and treasure house of Sheikh Hasan, and fled with the treasure. Later, someone saw him in Diyarbakır, and then he No one knows where they went."
"Ah?" Guo Ponu didn't react.
"For example, it's like Lu Bu and Diao Chan secretly colluded to assassinate Dong Zhuo. As a result, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took advantage of Dong Zhuo's death, took Empress Fu, pulled a group of people, and took advantage of the chaos to rob Dong Zhuo's house. Then the two of them Fleeing to the grassland, I don’t know where I ended up.” Guo Kang said: “If you have to use a vivid metaphor, that’s probably it.”
"This analogy is even weirder..." Guo Ponu shook his head.
"After all, the gap between characters is too big." Guo Kang said: "Many emperors of the Central Plains only knew how to be emperors, but these Mongolian kings were all extremely capable of running, and their ability to survive in the wild was particularly strong. Over in Central Asia, there was the invasion of Persia The man who failed and fled back to the grassland to herd sheep actually ended up in good health. The man and the woman also didn’t know how they could escape with so much treasure. If Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had this ability to escape, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao would probably There is no way to catch him..."
"This can be considered a skill." Guo Ponu didn't know how to evaluate it, so after thinking about it, he said.
"Is there anyone else who is related to the higher position?" she continued to ask.
"There is one over there in the Golden Horde." Guo Kang said: "After the death of Berdibie, his son-in-law Mamai became the most powerful minister in Salai. Perhaps in order to consolidate his power, Mamai once took his wife, who was Biedibi's daughter was made Khan. Because at that time, Batu's direct descendants had almost been cut off, and she was the only one left."
"But later, Mamet found a better heir, so she turned to support other collateral khans, so she ruled in name only for a year. Moreover, by this time, the Golden Horde had essentially disintegrated. What Mamet and others control is just the area around Beer Gesarai - anyway, our Khanate has never recognized them."
"So that's it." Guo Ponu nodded.
The Purple Horde Khanate actually couldn't tell whether it was the successor or replacement of the Golden Horde. But fortunately, there is no "legal system" to speak of on the grassland. Others are just as chaotic in this regard, and no one cares about it. Of course, the basic official position still needs to be laid out.
"Then I think Sister Niu probably wants to imitate them." Guo Ponu began to speculate: "Look, why else would she hook up with you every day?"
"What is there to imitate?" Guo Kang disapproved: "Don't see that history is somewhat similar and just blindly follow it, thinking they are all the same. It will make a joke."
"The involvement of these people in the throne is a very abnormal phenomenon in itself. It means that the traditional political order has been broken, and a strong external force has lifted them up. But this kind of disorder is not a good thing, and what will happen next Nothing can be predicted."
"Moreover, seeking this weak legitimacy means that the truly reliable legitimacy has collapsed. This is obviously a precursor to the chaos in the world, and is even part of the chaos itself." Guo Kang analyzed: "A little bit of political common sense can You won’t like this outcome. Being this kind of Khan is better than being a princess in peacetime.”
"Besides, in our situation, who can support her?" He spread his hands: "Don't talk about me, even my great-uncle couldn't do it back then. Maybe it was only Duke Yuanting who had this ability at the time. Now the country is becoming more stable and orderly. When it matures and is perfected, this possibility will naturally disappear.”
"Theodora is not stupid. On the contrary, she has always been very smart in this regard. I don't believe she can't see it." Guo Kang shook his head: "And don't just talk about her. Don't you yourself want to find a job for yourself every day? Is it a formal position? In the eyes of outsiders, what is the difference between this and her?"
"Uh... I didn't, right?" Guo Ponu quickly denied.
"This is not your decision." Guo Kang told her: "You have been pestering dad all day long, wanting him to break the rules and give you more power. Think about it, what will others think? Some thoughtful people will probably think that you I also want to be a war master."
"You feel wronged, but other people look at you the same as you look at Theodora. Even your way of doing things makes them more careless and unruly in the eyes of others." He warned: "This kind of thing should be done more often. Pay attention, otherwise you will be taken advantage of later and you will cause trouble at home."
Guo Ponu thought for a while and found that what he said seemed to make sense. In order to show that he was different from Theodora, he had no choice but to nod.
To this extent, Guo Kang has achieved his goal and helped his adoptive father calm her down temporarily.
"Hey, but I have to think of a solution." Thinking about the future, Guo Kang became worried again: "I wonder if the female relatives of various families were like this in previous generations. I always feel that this situation is not quite right."
"What's wrong?" Guo Ponu asked curiously.
"Don't you think that girls of your generation are all... restless?" Guo Kang thought for a while and decided that it would be better to discuss it directly with her to see what the client's thoughts were from his own perspective.
"Restless?" Guo Ponu didn't understand the meaning of this word.
"Yes, just restless." Guo Kang felt that this was the most appropriate word he could find: "Don't mention you guys, even little Jeanne feels this way."
"Some time ago, Master Wang and I helped her practice her performances. She has been curious about the organizational management rules of our church and wanted to find a position for herself. You see how old she is, and she is considered an outsider here, but the result is the same idea……"
"It would be easier to explain if someone else taught her. But now, I don't know the specific situation." Guo Kang said: "My mother was not here before, so I could only guess by myself. Now that I think about it, I can go back and ask her. Is this a new problem of our generation? This matter should probably be seriously considered."
