Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 25 Tengger Wind and Cloud (3)
"Hehe, Lord Botle, I'm afraid you misunderstood. As the high priest in charge of religious sacrificial affairs, the things you want to interfere with are beyond the scope of your involvement. Besides, the priests also feel that your performance It has exceeded your authority, and I think the priest will deal with your behavior reasonably." Doni no longer wanted to spend more time with the other party, and refuted coldly, "When the Luobei family is alive and dead, some people still Fighting against each other for our own personal interests, this will only lead our Luobei clan into the abyss. The 500,000 Chidi army has been mobilized and is watching us west. The Anou army has approached the Mobei River Valley and demanded to take over us The Mobei Gold Mine, and claimed that the sovereignty of the Mobei Gold Mine belongs to them. There are even shadows of the Chidi and Numidians behind it. A foreign enemy who has become a slave? But look what we are still doing? Even an appointment is still entangled here, Mr. Bottle, I even doubt whether you are a member of our Luobei people, what are you planning to do? Or, do you think who among us Luobei people is more suitable to take on this important task than Lord Besan under the current situation?"
Duny promptly raised the dispute over the sovereignty of the Mobei Gold Mine, which immediately attracted the attention of almost all the nobles. The Mobei Gold Mine is one of the largest sources of income for the nobles every year. The Europeans took it away, and the nobles couldn't imagine what their lives would be like. Thinking about it again, the current prestige in the clan is Besan except for Tu Da, and no one else is enough to take on this responsibility. , Tu replied Xinbai, let alone whether he is suitable for this position under the current situation. If he is allowed to serve as the commander of the guard army, the morale of the guard army who is very likely to face the Chidi and An'ou people will also be high. will have a big impact.
Before Botle could answer, someone in the priesthood sitting alone in a corner had already stood up, "Lord Miser, according to the unanimous opinion of our priesthood, since Lord Botle's behavior has surpassed what our priesthood entrusted His authority, after serious discussion, our priests will decide to remove Lord Bottle from the position of high priest, and unanimously elect Lord Molema as the new high priest. Lord Molema will be in charge of all religious sacrificial affairs in the clan from now on Process."
The plain and indifferent words of the priest once again stirred up waves. Botle has held the post of high priest for less than ten years. According to the usual practice, the post of high priest should be rotated for at least twenty years, unless there is a major mistake , I didn't expect the priests to use this reason to remove Botle from the position of high priest at this time, which means that Botle was immediately beaten back to his original form, just an ordinary nobleman, and he was no longer even qualified to speak alone have. The new high priest, Molema, is also a member of Watt's matriarchal family, which means that the missionary power that controls the spiritual and ideological aspects of the Luobei family has fallen into the hands of the faction that supports Watt.
Gas heart gradually fell down, this is undoubtedly a conspiracy, a perfect conspiracy to seize power, Miser is undoubtedly the biggest traitor among them, he not only betrayed himself, but also helped support the nobles of Watt's faction Assuming an important position has clearly shown his choice, and the dismissal of Botle has also confirmed that they have already reached an agreement in secret, and even the members of the priesthood have been controlled and manipulated by them. What hope?
After being stunned for a while, Botle stood up and screamed angrily. The shrill cry was extremely harsh in the big tent, "This is a conspiracy, I will never accept it! I ask all the representatives of the Senate to vote Let's decide!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Botle, the position of high priest is not an administrative position. According to the practice of our Luobei people, its appointment and removal can only be elected by the priesthood." Doni's cold words interrupted The opposing party said, "Now all the members of the Priesthood are here. If you have any objections, you can prove it on the spot. I believe that everyone here can discern everything with their eyes, and don't let your judgment be influenced by some wanton words. But Bot My lord, if you attack with such insulting language again, I will have the guards ask you to shut up."
At this time, Doni has fully demonstrated his authority as the real authority in charge of internal affairs and intelligence affairs for a long time, and the coldness revealed in his words is enough to make people think twice. Question Doni's counterattack. After all, all members of the priesthood are present. As a high priest, if all the members of the priesthood abandon you, it is meaningless for the high priest who has lost his authority to retain this position. It can show that you, the high priest, have failed too much. What's more, Baofa, the only noble with real power who has been silent all this time, also ignores it. Obviously, he has known about this change for a long time. The three major power holders have all approved this decision. The nobles in the big tent can understand what it means.
Looking around in despair, wherever Botle looked, the nobles almost without exception lowered their heads or turned their heads aside. For such a loser, the best way is to draw a clear line, There is no need to get yourself contaminated. Today's meeting seems to have already decided the outcome, but some people know it well, some people are ignorant, and some people are kept in the dark.
Seeing Botle's gaze turned, Gas has gradually calmed down his state of mind. He has already lost, and he has lost completely. The ending of his performance seems to be able to recover his own defeat.
He kept his eyes on the faces of his uncle and brother, who were also as calm as water, and nodded slightly. The eyes of the two exchanged in the air. After a long time, he sighed sadly: "Master Bottle, please don't say any more. Since The Priest Council has made a decision, and as the people of the eagle, we must obey it. It seems that this meeting of the elders should be able to elect a Khan who can lead our Robi clan out of the predicament. I propose that Watt be our Robi clan The next great chief, what do you think?"
A light flashed in Watt's eyes. He didn't expect that his uncle and brother would have such a magnanimity. This is a battle for sweat, but it seems that Gas does not want to give himself this opportunity, which makes Watt feel a little lost. However, Watt quickly adjusted this unfavorable state of mind. In this case, he must ensure that his advantage is transformed into a victory. No matter whether the opponent's words are from the heart or forced by the situation, he must first What to do is to turn the other party's proposal into reality. The nobles in the arena were also moved by Gas's magnificence, applauding one after another to show their respect, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax.
Seeing Watt in a daze for a while, Gas stood up, looked around and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone has no objection to my proposal, Lord Misai, Lord Doni, Lord Bofa, Lord Molema, Is the candidate for our great chief confirmed? If there is no problem, then let us applaud Watt to take the throne."
Things went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations. Almost without encountering any resistance, Vaz and the interest groups he represented gave up the fight. On the surface, it turned into a boost to promote Watt's ascension to the throne. This result seems to be a happy ending, but Watt knows that there are often many unspeakable troubles hidden behind this result. This move of retreating and advancing has indeed won Gas a lot of respect, which is very important for those who want to establish absolute authority. Not a good thing in itself.
But judging from the current point of view, at least the other party is performing quite well, and Gas is indeed more suitable than anyone else in contact with the Hansen Alliance~IndoMTL.com~The Hansen Alliance quickly agreed to send 30,000 troops to the Hansen Alliance. Stationed in the border area, and another 50,000 troops mobilized for war to put pressure on the Chidi people. Although this is only a superficial move, it can make the Hansen Alliance, which has always been on the defensive against the Chidi people, do this. The degree is already commendable.
The rapid westward return of the remnants of the eastern political army led by Tu Da also brought good news. It also brought a huge impact to the nobles of Luobei, but after Tu Da, Haxian and Besan analyzed the current situation, the nobles of Luobei gradually realized that if they did not rely firmly on the support of Xijiang I'm afraid that this time the Luobei clan will really have a hard time surviving this hurdle, especially the sudden appearance of the An'ou people in the north, an enemy who has never been paid attention to before, makes the nobles feel the threat to their status.
The change in the attitude of Tu Da and Besan, two military leaders who were firmly opposed to peaceful coexistence with Western Xinjiang, caused a split in the conservative aristocrats. Opinion, that is, the entire grassland including the Tengger grassland is facing huge changes brought about by the tide of the times.
