The twenty-fifth chapter Tengger situation (3)
"Haha, Lord Botel, I'm afraid you misunderstood. As a high priest in charge of religious sacrificial affairs, what you want to intervene is beyond the scope you should be inquisitive. Besides, the priests also feel that your performance has exceeded your authority. I think the priests will deal with your behavior reasonably." Doni no longer wants to talk to the other party and refute coldly, "When the Luobei clan's life and death, some people are still intrigue for their own personal interests, which will only make our Luobei clan fall into the abyss. The 500,000 troops of the Chidi people have been mobilized and are eyeing us in the west. An Ou The army of people has approached the Mobei River Valley and demanded to take over our Mobei Gold Mine, and claimed that the sovereignty of the Mobei Gold Mine belongs to them. Behind this, there are even shadows of the Chidi and Numidians. Now the power of our Luobei clan can resist these foreign enemies who want to turn us into slaves? But see what we are doing? Even an appointment is still entangled here. Lord Botel, I even doubt whether you are one of our Luobei people. What are you planning to do? Or, who do you think is more suitable for this important task than Lord Besan in this situation?”
Doni threw out the sovereignty dispute of Mobei Gold Mine in time, which immediately attracted the attention of almost all nobles. Mobei Gold Mine is one of the largest sources of income for the nobles every year. If they really were taken away by the Ano people, the nobles could not imagine what their lives would become. Think about it again, besides Tu Da's prestige in the clan is Besan, and no one else can bear this responsibility. Tu Da's new defeat, let alone whether he is suitable for this position in this situation. If he is allowed to serve as the commander of the guards, his morale will have a great impact on the guards who are likely to face the Chidi and Ano people.
Before Botel's answer, someone had already stood up in the priesthood sitting alone in a corner. "Miss, according to our priesthood unanimous opinion, given that Lord Botel's behavior has exceeded the authority given to him by our priesthood, we priests will, after solemn discussion, decide to remove Lord Botel from his post as a high priest and unanimously elect Lord Molema as the new high priest. All religious priests in the clan will be handled from now on by Lord Molema."
The priest's plain and cold words once again stirred up waves. Botel served as the high priest for less than ten years. According to convention, the position of the high priest should be rotated for at least twenty years. Unless it is a major mistake, the priest would have been removed from Botel's position as a high priest at this time for this reason. This means that Botel was immediately defeated and was just an ordinary noble, and even no longer qualified to speak alone. The new high priest Molema is a member of the Watt matriarchal family, which means that the missionary right to control the spiritual and ideological aspects of the Luobei clan has fallen into the hands of supporting the Watt faction.
The heart of Vass gradually fell down. It was undoubtedly a conspiracy, a perfect conspiracy to seize power. Mises was undoubtedly the biggest traitor in the middle. He not only betrayed himself, but also helped the nobles who supported Vat's faction to take important positions. This made his attitude clear and expressed his choice. Botel's dismissal also confirmed that they had reached an agreement in secret, and even the people of the Priests' Association had been controlled and manipulated by them. What hope would he have in this situation?
After a long time of stunned silence, Botel stood up and screamed angrily. The sharp screams seemed extremely harsh in the tent, "This is a conspiracy, I will never accept it! I ask all representatives of the Elderly Council to vote to decide!"
"Sorry, Lord Botel, the position of high priest is not an administrative position. According to the convention of our Luobei tribe, its appointment and removal can only be elected by the priests." Doni's cold words interrupted the other party who was still trying to argue. "Now all members of the priests are here. If you have any objections, you can verify it on the spot. I believe that everyone here can distinguish everything with their eyes and not be influenced by some random words. And Lord Botel, if you attack with such humiliating language, I can only let the guards shut up."
At this time, Doni fully demonstrated his authority as a pragmatic and powerful faction in charge of internal affairs and intelligence affairs for a long time. The coldness in his words was enough to make people think twice. Although the nobles were talking a lot, no one dared to stand up and question Doni's counterattack. After all, all members of the Priests were on the scene. As a high priest, if even all members of the Priests abandoned you, the high priest who lost his authority would be meaningless even if he retained this position. It only means that you, the high priest, were too failed. Moreover, the only powerful noble who had never spoken, looked at him indifferently. Obviously, he had known this change for a long time. The three powerful people recognized this decision. What this meant by the nobles in the tent could all understand.
Looking around in despair, wherever Botel's eyes went, 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 involved in anything. Today's conference seems to have already decided the result, but some people know it, some people are confused, and some are kept in the dark.
Seeing Botel's eyes turn, Gas has gradually calmed down his mind. He has lost and has been completely defeated. If he makes some unnecessary struggles, he can only seem to be even less arrogant. The ending with an unexpected performance seems to be able to better save his defeat.
He stopped his eyes on the faces of uncles and brothers who were equally calm as water, with a slight head on his head. The two of them exchanged their eyes in the air, and after a long time, he sighed sadly: "Mr. Botel, please don't say more. Since the priests have made a decision, we must all follow the people of the eagle. It seems that this time the Elderly Meeting should be able to select a Khan King who is enough to lead our Luobei tribe out of the predicament. I suggest that Watt be the next chief of our Luobei tribe. I wonder what you think?"
A light flashed in Wat's eyes. He did not expect that his uncle and brother had such a demeanor. He bowed down and surrendered his ruthlessness before the overall situation was determined. In fact, he hoped that Gas could persevere to the end and let him end the battle for the Khan position beautifully. But it seemed that Gas didn't want to give him this opportunity, which made Wat a little disappointed. However, Wat quickly adjusted this unfavorable state of mind. In this case, it was necessary to ensure that his advantage was transformed into victory. Regardless of whether the other party's words were from the heart or due to the situation, the first thing he had to do at this time was to turn the other party's proposal into facts. The nobles in the field were also moved by Gas' grand manner, applauded to show respect, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax.
Seeing Wat a little stunned for a moment, Gas stood up long and looked around and smiled: "It seems that everyone has no objection to my proposal. Lord Mises, Lord Doni, Lord Baofa, Lord Molema, can our candidate for the chief be confirmed? If there is no problem, let us applaud and ask Wat to ascend the throne."
Things went as smooth as everyone expected, and there was almost no resistance. Gas and the interests he represented gave up the fight, which on the surface turned into a helping force that led to Watt's ascendance. This result seemed to be a happy ending, but Watt knew that behind this result, there were often many indescribable troubles. This move to retreat to advance did indeed win a lot of respect for Gas, which was not a good thing for himself who wanted to establish absolute authority.
But from the current perspective, at least the other party was in a proper manner, and gas was indeed more suitable than anyone in terms of contact with the Hansen Alliance. The Hansen Alliance quickly agreed to send 30,000 troops to station in the border areas, and another 50,000 troops mobilized war to put pressure on the Chidi people. Although this was just a superficial action, it was commendable to make the Hansen Alliance, which had always been on a defensive position against the Chidi people to do this level.
Tu Da led the remnants of the Eastern Political Army to return to the west, which also brought good news. The four rangers of Western Xinjiang, which once encircled and annihilated the Eastern Expedition Army, followed closely behind the Eastern Expedition Army. This news also brought a huge impact to the Luobei nobles. However, after Tu Da, Haxian and Besan analyzed the current situation, the Luobei nobles gradually realized that if they did not rely firmly on the support of Western Xinjiang, they would be afraid that the Luobei tribe would really find it difficult to survive this level this time, especially the Ano people in the north, who had not received attention again, suddenly emerged, which made the nobles feel the threat to their own status.
The change in attitudes of the two military leaders who had firmly opposed peaceful coexistence with Western Xinjiang caused divisions in the conservative aristocracy. A considerable number of conservative aristocracy gradually accepted the opinions of military generals, including Haxian. That is, the entire grassland, including the Tenggeri Grassland, is facing huge changes brought about by the tide of the times. The Luobei clan only first realized the benefits and pains brought about by the impact of the historical trend. Of course, it was more confusing. But one thing is certain, if you cannot quickly adapt and devote yourself to this tide of change, the Luobei people can only struggle in this tide of change and eventually become drowning. Now if you want to be reborn in the tide of life, you can only bravely accept new things and boldly carry out changes. Only in this way can the Luobei clan not be eliminated by the historical trend.
