Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 738: Accumulation of bones and bones, public opinion makes gold

Timur had several sons, and his eldest son, Hanjier, was the natural heir. It's a pity that the true ancestor was unwilling to grant Juhan Jie'er a long life. Before he could take over the throne of Sultan, Jiehan Jie'er passed away. And Ma Heima was the eldest grandson left to Timur by Hanjier.

Timur has always valued Ma Heima very much. Whenever he sent out troops to conquer, he always let Ma Heima lead the army alone, and he loved him the most, and regarded him as his "great grandson". The heir to the empire should have been his father. After his father passed away, the position of heir naturally belonged to him. Therefore, in Ma Heima's heart, he undoubtedly had the first right to inherit the position of sultan.

Over there, Shaharul, who is also Timur's grandson, also looked resentful. He is the son of Miran Shah and one of Timur's grandsons who holds real power. Grandfather Tamerlane's first two sons both died young, and most of the other sons still alive are not favored and do not hold real power. Only Khalil's father, Miran Shah, and his fourth uncle, Shaharul, can be counted as Timur's only two "legitimate sons".

In Khalil's mind, his father Miran Shah is the undoubted heir to the empire: his grandfather's successor should undoubtedly be his son. His fourth uncle Shaharul is too kind, and his grandfather has expressed dissatisfaction in public many times. I like my fourth uncle. His father, Miransha, was brave and good at fighting, and had rescued his grandfather in danger several times. Therefore, the position of heir to the empire should naturally belong to his father.

Now my father is dead and my fourth uncle is also dead. As his father's eldest son, there is no doubt that he should inherit his father's legacy... In other words, he should undoubtedly be the first heir to the empire!

But now, someone actually usurped the throne of Sultan first?

"It's Ulugh Beg! It must be Ulugh Beg!" Mahema and Khalil looked at each other and immediately guessed the "situation" in the city. "Ulug Beg was with his grandfather before. Now that his grandfather has been killed, he must be worried about some unrest in the country, so he secretly blocked this terrible news."

"Then he withdrew to Samarkand and began planning to usurp the Sultanate... Even if it wasn't him, it must have been Pir Mohammad or Ali Taz..."

The two of them kept deducing and guessed everything about their uncles and cousins. The final conclusion is: no matter who it is, it is possible that those people are all traitors and traitors!

"His Royal Highness, King Zhou, if you let us be free, there must be some enemy that can be of use to us, right?" The ambition to regain the empire made Ma Heima's brain spin rapidly. He was defeated and captured. Now he has nothing to offer, and wants to To regain the position of Sultan, we will definitely need to use external force... and the smart Ma Heima quickly found his only support.

"Smart." Zhu Su chuckled. "I don't need a Timurid Empire that is against my Ming Dynasty. What I want is a Timurid Empire that can work together with my Ming Dynasty."

"Ulugh Beg, Pir Muhammad... I don't know these people, and naturally I don't believe in their loyalty. But I can be kind to you. You relied on the favor of the Ming Dynasty to become the Sultan. Only then can I trust this Sultan." I will not betray Ming Dynasty."

"You need to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and become vassals of the Ming Dynasty just like the four great khanates surrendered to the Mongol Empire. If you can do this, I will help you regain the position of Sudan... How about it?"

Ma Heima and Khalil looked at each other, hesitated for only a moment, then knelt down and said: "My distinguished King Zhou of the Ming Dynasty, I am willing to agree to your terms."

"As long as you can help us kill the traitors who have usurped the throne, I am willing to swear that my descendants will never betray the Ming Dynasty. From now on, the sword of the Emperor Ming Dynasty points in the direction that the warriors of my empire will move forward..."

"Yes." Zhu Su helped the two of them up, and then said: "I am very relieved to have two assistants."

"Our Ming army has come from afar and has no foundation in your country. I also ask you two to go to the various places to pacify and explain the situation. Don't let them hold back our army." "In addition, I ask you to recruit troops and blockade the Sahara. Around Markand. The city of Samarkand is high and deep. Only by isolating it can it be captured..."

Mahema and Khalil took their orders and went with fighting spirit. Zhu Di looked at their leaving figures and walked to Zhu Su's side. "These two are not fools. Why did they believe it so easily... Monk Yao's plan seemed like child's play, but unexpectedly, they actually deceived these two wise men?"

Zhu Su glanced at Zhu Di and said, "A living person insists that he is dead. If you want to give Yao Guangxiao a name for this plan, you should call him 'Confusing Black and White' and 'Referring to a Deer as a Horse'. Anyone who refers to a deer as a horse is never doing it to deceive others." The person who deceives is clever, but because he follows the trend and teaches the deceived person's thoughts to deceive himself."

"They haven't seen Timur's head in person, so can they really believe what we said in a few words? No, what we told him was just an excuse for him to convince himself to believe it, an excuse that would help them get out of the prisoner situation. , the reason why he can still ascend to the position of Sultan."

"It's not that we deceived them, it's that they themselves have deceived themselves. Their ambitions convinced themselves to start competing for the position of Sudan."

"They, the grassland peoples, have always been the most cruel in seizing the throne. Once they start taking action, they will never hold back. This was the case with Mongolia in the past, and it will be the same with the Timurid Empire today."

"A country's prosperity and decline are often the result of this, and this is the case both in ancient and modern times..."

Zhu Di glanced at Zhu Su and knew that his younger brother was nodding at him again. But now he really has no ambition to seize the throne, so he doesn't think it's a big deal.

What's the point of seizing the throne? If you seize the throne, then you can only stay in Yingtian City like your father, reviewing memorials every day and night? Wouldn’t it be nice to lead an army on a western expedition?

What Zhu Su said was profound. Although Zhu Di understood it, others in the tent did not. They looked at each other for a while, and finally it was Wang who spoke first: "Then if you brag like this, won't your boast be exposed one day?"

"What if Timur persuades these two grandsons to surrender again... His Highness asked them to recruit soldiers, aren't you afraid of raising tigers and being attacked by them?"

"No." Zhu Su smiled. "Building bones and destroying bones, public opinion makes gold. As long as this rumor spreads too much, even if Timur appears in person in front of them, they will firmly believe that it was faked by that Ulugh Beg who found someone with a similar look... We need them to publicize the news of Timur’s death, and only if the words of Timur’s grandson speak personally will everyone believe it.”

"Monk Yao's plan really won my heart... You need to know that to kill a person, you don't have to kill him physically. If everyone believes that Tamerlane is dead... then is Tamerlane? Living is no longer important."
