Chapter 689 Is it more cruel?
After a long time of moji, Batel Khan and Prince Temur finally finished talking about the words.
Anyway, the final result is that Prince Temur and the Wolf King leaders are temporarily imprisoned, waiting for Batel Khan to further decide how to make a decision. As for those rebels who were mutiny, Batel Khan announced in public that they were bewitched and pardoned them, but they will be included in Batel Khan's command to atone for their sins.
This was naturally the best result for those rebels, so they all bowed to Batel Khan and expressed their willingness to surrender. This shows that Batel Khan is also a smart person, at least knowing how to win people's hearts and taking the opportunity to strengthen his own power.
At this point, this brief mutiny came to a perfect end.
After Batel Khan taught his subordinates to deal with the remnants and subsequent matters in the capital, he finally invited Zuo Yang and Li Hanqiu into the royal court with Urina, and asked all the guards and servants to temporarily avoid it.
"Sir, as you see, what should Temuer and those leader Wolf Kings deal with it?"
After no one was around, Batel Khan came forward and performed a great gift that the Tatars were commonly used by, and said to Zuo Yang humbly.
He had already learned about the whole story through inquiry, and naturally he knew that Zuo Yang had become the "messenger of the God of the Grassland", so there was no problem with this title.
"Khan, we are not secretly speaking. You know that I am not an envoy. At best, we can only be considered a Han Chinese who is a noble source of land, so we don't have this kind of behavior."
Zuo Yang moved a step to avoid this gift, then clasped his fists to Batel Khan, and said with a smile.
"There is a legend among us Tatars that whenever the Tatars face a critical choice, the God of the Grassland will choose one person as an envoy to give the 'demonic art', which will make him descend to the grassland to lead the Tatars to the light... Whether you are the messenger of the God of the Grassland, you can teach the people outside to think that you are, then you are, and even I cannot change this fact."
Batel Khan finally explained the reason for this "misunderstanding", but at the same time, it can be seen that he is actually very rational. The last sentence even revealed the true meaning of politics in one sentence. What matters is what the people below think you are, and then you are.
To fool the people is politics!
Fooling the people is another lie, so politics is equivalent to lies.
"I don't understand these things, and I don't want to understand them."
Zuo Yang simply pretended to be stupid. He didn't want to participate in the so-called politics, nor did he want to have any connection with it.
Moreover, the master of high moral character is more than anything else... Although Zuo Yang did not regard Bater Khan as his lord at all, there was only one lord, that is, the Lord of Xichi Palace.
"The messenger once said that the God of the Grassland will personally judge Temu and the leader of the Wolf King. I wonder how this judgment will be carried out?"
Batel Khan changed his way and asked the questions he had asked before. This was what he wanted to know the most. After all, many people heard this and were waiting for the trial.
"It depends on whether you want them to die or live."
Zuo Yang grinned.
"Temur colluded with those leaders, Wolf King, to mutiny. If they were allowed to continue to live, it would be no good for the Tatars...even if Temur was my son."
Batel Khan was also a ruthless man and said firmly.
“That’s easy to do.”
Zuo Yang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You can use stolen goods. Will you have a sacrificial ceremony next month? At that time, tie them to the stolen goods rack. If the God of the Grassland decides to pardon them, then they will not be burned to death. If the God of the Grassland decides to punish them, then their actions angered the God of the Grassland, and they will die more than anything else."
“…”
When he heard this, Li Hanqiu immediately turned his head and looked at Zuo Yang.
The messenger of the God of the Grassland!
Or tie you to the stolen rack and burn it to see if you will become a bbq, or will you be protected by the God of the Grassland?
This guy is indeed not a good person. Such a shameless and cruel thing is just open to his mouth!
“…”
Wurina couldn't help but look at Zuo Yang. After all, Temur was her biological brother. Even if she did something wrong, she could accept a knife to cut off his head, but she could not accept Temur being burned to death.
"Well……"
Batel Khan's face was also a little pale, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, is there any gentler way?"
"Let me think about it."
Zuo Yang thought for a moment, and finally his eyes lit up and asked, "By the way, are you Tatars also popular in heaven burial? You think that heaven burial is the most noble donation, an important practice of the immortality of the soul and the reincarnation, and the greatest respect for the dead?"
“It’s true…”
Batel Khan nodded.
"Then let's go to heaven! I stripped them naked and cut them a few wounds and tied them to the sky burial platform. If they were not eaten by Hu Vultures three days later, it means that the God of the Grassland has forgiven them. If they were eaten, it would be another form of forgiveness of the God of the Grassland. At least it means that the God of the Grassland has not given up on them, and has not wiped out their souls and allowed them to enter the cycle of reincarnation... How about this method? I can't think of a more gentle method than this. This is simply the best of both worlds. What do you think?"
Zuo Yang said excitedly, no matter what others think, he first praised his wit.
“…”
Li Hanqiu then had a cold war, it was even more cruel!?
At least the torture was burned for a short while, and the sky burial would be eaten by Hu Vulture for three consecutive days. What is the difference between this and a kind of extreme punishment called "Lingchi" in the Central Plains!?
"This method is feasible!"
But after hearing this, Batel Khan nodded immediately to agree, because Zuo Yang's method did meet the funeral customs of the Tatars. He just asked again: "But... why do we cut several wounds?"
"Don't you want them to die?"
Zuo Yang said naturally, "And they must die. If they survived this heavenly punishment, someone would think they were right and you were wrong."
"It's right! Thank you, Lord Messenger for your advice!"
Batel Khan finally eliminated the doubts in his heart and made up his mind to say, "This time the envoy helped the Tatars. From today on, the envoy is the national teacher of the Tatars. I believe that with the envoy, the Tatars' cavalry will eventually break through Yanmen Pass and seize the most fertile land in the world!"
"this……"
When Zuo Yang heard this, he immediately looked upset, "Khan, I wonder if Princess Urina told you that I came to the capital not to be the national teacher of you Tatars, but to have other purposes. If Khan can fulfill his promises generously, I will be grateful."
"Oh? What's the purpose?"
Batel Khan was stunned.
"I need a batch of medicinal materials. Princess Wurina once said that you have all the medicinal materials in your medicinal library, so I came."
Zuo Yang said with a chuckle.
Chapter completed!
