Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 599: A childish child takes care of a journey

When the envoy of Tuxietu Khan Gunbu entered the Qianyuan Hall, the Great Khan on the fearless lion in the west still smiled at him in a friendly and warm way. Although he was treated politely, for some reason, every time he saw the Great Khan, the envoy felt a chill on his back and felt deeply uncomfortable, as if he was facing a giant python that might swallow his bones at any time. None left.

"Is your Majesty getting used to living in Lhasa these days? Are the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette treating you well?" Sultan asked cheerfully, his words were friendly and natural, as if he was greeting an old friend for many years.

"Thank you, Khan, for your concern. I have a very comfortable stay in Lhasa."

"Well, just feel comfortable. I am very happy to meet your distinguished envoy, but all banquets in the world must come to an end. I'm afraid you have to return to Urg to report to Gonbu Khan." Sultan reluctantly issued an expulsion order.

"Please bring the letter I wrote to Gunbu Khan to him and convey my greetings to him, uh~" At this point, Lotus Khan paused, "Gunbu Khan is a man, see Zasak Tu The orphans and widowed mothers in the army were pitiful. They sent troops to fight against the rebels and wanted to make Wangchuck, the son of Norbu Khan, the Khan. It is truly righteous and admirable! I have a sworn knot with Norbu, and Norbu’s son is me. His nephew. Therefore, I agreed to Gunbu Khan’s request and immediately sent someone to escort Wangchuk to Orkhunut to succeed Jasak Tuhan.”

"What? You want to send someone to escort Wangchuk to Orkunut?" The envoy was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

"Exactly," Sultan smiled.

The envoy composed himself and asked, "When will Wangchuck Taiji set off?"

"This matter should not be delayed too late. We will set off early tomorrow morning. I still have important things to do. I respect the envoy to do as he pleases." Sultan waved his sleeves and dismissed the envoy.

He does have something important to do. Today is the birthday of the imperial concubine Yaruo. He left the court early and took a generous gift: a large cloisonné vase from Sun Kewang, King of Qin in the Southern Ming Dynasty, to Yikun Palace.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, you can hear bursts of joy and laughter. The fourth son of the emperor, Prince Jin Ergalang and Princess Jin, and the eldest daughter of the emperor, Princess Hairi and Fu Ma of Shigatse, arrived early, making Yikun Palace very lively.

"I am here to see the Great Khan." Seeing him coming, Yaruo hurriedly led everyone to salute.

"My beloved, you don't need to be polite. It's your birthday today, so I'm here to see you." Suletan smiled and placed a vase on his order, "This is my gift to you, with your favorite plum blossoms in it." .

"Thank you, Your Majesty", the imperial concubine's face showed a strange look, just like when she first got married. This aroused the great Khan's tenderness, and he smiled in her ear: "My beloved concubine is waiting for me. I will go to deal with some business first and come to your place to spend the night tonight."

Ya Ruo's pink face turned red with embarrassment. She was a shy woman easily. Even though she was a mother of two children, she was still shy. She changed the subject in a panic, "The Khan comes and goes in such a hurry, but is there anything important?"

"Haha, it's not a big deal," Suletan explained with a smile, "As you know, Zasak Tuhan Norbu and I were sworn brothers and he was considered my elder brother. Now he is dead, leaving behind orphans and widows. The mother is very pitiful. I have decided to support her son Wangchuk to succeed me and leave Lhasa tomorrow for Mobei. This Wangchuck can also be regarded as my nephew, and I always have to see him before leaving."

"I see, you did the right thing, I'm waiting for you in the palace." When the word "waiting" was said, Yaruo's pretty face couldn't help but have a few peach blossoms drifting across it. Now that they are an old married woman, the Great Khan of Lotus naturally understood what she meant. He was heartbroken and hastened back to Qianqing Palace, intending to deal with his nephew as soon as possible so that he could come back to do business.

"My slaves Wangchuk and Cheng Gun meet the Great Khan, may the Great Khan be blessed with peace and prosperity." The twelve-year-old Wangchuk pulled his ten-year-old brother Cheng Gun and saluted Sultan respectfully. Suffering is the most tempering thing! The golden branches and jade leaves in the past are now under the fence of others. The two little kids are well-behaved, sensible, and well-mannered. I feel pity for them!
"Alas!" A heavy breath came out of his chest. Sultan stepped down from the Leo throne, helped them both up, and said with a sad expression: "I am sworn in love with your brother-in-law, and we are brothers and sisters. Now Norbu An Da died in the battle, and you orphans and widowed mothers came to me in distress. I can't ignore this matter. I have already made arrangements. I will send someone to escort you to Orkunut tomorrow. At that time, I will confer Wangchuck the second title. Waiting for the Marquis of Zasaktu to succeed the throne of Zasaktu Khan."

"I thank the Great Khan for your kindness," the young Wangchuk pulled his younger brother Cheng Gun to thank him again.

"You are just like my nephews, don't be too polite." Suletan supported him with his hands and knelt down calmly. Suddenly the conversation changed, "I'm afraid that you two are too young to be able to control the situation, so I plan to send some capable people to help you manage the military and government. How about that?" After saying this, he looked at Wangchuck's face. Stop and carefully observe the reaction of your "nephew".

"My servants let the Great Khan make the decision, and the Great Khan's kindness cannot be repaid by being shattered into pieces." Wangchuck burst into tears with gratitude and was moved to tears.

"Yes," Suletan hummed with satisfaction, and added: "The Zasak Tu tribe has suffered from successive wars, the population has been separated, and the household registration is in chaos. I want to compile all households, re-verify the population and livestock numbers, and set up some more Officials govern. What do you think?”

"The Great Khan and my Ngqi Ge are Anda, just like my Ngqi Ge. I am still young and do not understand government affairs. It is entirely up to you to make the decision." Wangchuk looked even more humble than before.

Sultan was satisfied. I understand that these two little babies will not become a stumbling block for me to unify all Mongolia. In this case, there is no need to eradicate them. It would be better to keep them to decorate the facade and show the world my great kindness and compassion as a Bodhisattva.

In the Mobei Urg (Kulun, present-day Ulaanbaatar) region, affected by the war, the originally endless flow of caravans was reduced a lot, and the corresponding business taxes were also reduced.

Tuxie Tuhan Gonbu could no longer care about this. He had learned that the guards were escorting the Wangchuk brothers to Orelhunut and wanted to name Wangchuck as Zasak Tuhan.

"Father Khan, Sultan Khan bullied others too much. Last time he sent troops to attack us, this time he brought a baby to rob us of our territory and population," said the third son, Sidi Siribatur, angrily.

"Anger cannot solve the crisis. What I want is countermeasures," Gunbu said sadly.

"Great Khan, I think you must do two things now: first, make peace with the Hetuohite tribe; second, ask the Qing Dynasty to send troops to rescue," Halahuli suggested.

"Alas! I have begged for troops from Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, but I have yet to receive a response. As for making peace with the Hetuohuite tribe, it is very difficult. Ephoqin Luobuzang rejected my peace envoy and returned the favor. He made arrogant remarks and said that he would cut off my head to commemorate his second uncle Hang Tudai." Tushetu Khan Gonbu said regretfully that he now regretted sending troops to sneak attack and Tuo Huite's troops and forging a grudge with the other party.

"I would like to go and persuade Eluoqin to Luobuzang," Halahuli asked.
