Overnight, the entire Dihu Palace was hung with white cloth, and mourning could be heard everywhere.

Although when the news of Yida Khan's serious illness came out, many people had foreseen that such a day would come, but at the moment of Khan's death, many people still felt unacceptable for a while.

After all, for many Dihu people, especially the Helian tribe, Yida Khan can be called the hero of the grassland generation. He led the Helian tribe to defeat the Huyan tribe, reunified the grassland tribes, and established the Helian tribe. For the rule of Dihu and Mobei.

But now with the unfortunate death of Yida Khan, and the bizarre deaths of Ke Dun and the three princes, the new Khan who succeeds him is still the fifth prince Heliantao who has the blood of the Huyan tribe, which is the most difficult for them to accept. Falling into deep confusion and anxiety, I don't know where the fate of Dihu and Helianbu will go.

But even so, before dawn, many nobles and ministers of Dihu, as well as many chiefs of the tribes, began to rush to the Khan Golden Tent one after another to mourn Yida Khan. Wearing mourning clothes, mourning the dead Yida Khan.

As Yida Khan's only son who is still in the royal court, He Liantao knelt in front of the Khan's coffin, weeping to accept the condolences of every mourner.

Many people also expressed their condolences and deep memories of the old Khan in tears in front of the body, and also expressed that they would do their best to assist the new Khan and strengthen the hegemony of the Dihu Khanate and the Helian tribe.

At this time, a tall figure walked into the golden tent. He was the tribal chief Asta who followed Khan Yida and made countless contributions in many years of war. He kowtowed his head several times, then got up and was about to leave without looking at Heliantao the whole time.

He Liantao remained expressionless, as if he didn't care about the other party's rudeness at all.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister Ohno couldn't bear it any longer, he blocked the front with his body, and yelled, "Atas, why haven't you seen the new Khan."

Asta smiled coldly: "What new Khan, why didn't I see it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the golden tent had different expressions, and all of them turned their eyes to Helian Tao who was kneeling in front of the coffin.

He Liantao still didn't say a word, just knelt quietly before Yida Khan's spirit, as if completely immersed in grief, all the disputes in the golden tent had nothing to do with him.

Ono suddenly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Now Yida Khan has died of illness, the three princes have unfortunately died, and the fourth prince is far away in the Central Plains. However, the Dihu Khanate cannot be without a master for a day. Naturally, we should embrace it." Make the fifth prince the new Khan..."

"Ida Khan doesn't have a suitable son to succeed him, so can't he support his brother to inherit the Khan position?" Asta glanced at Helian Tao and said coldly, "If you support the other members of the Helian tribe As the new Khan, I should lead my troops to serve the new Khan, but if I welcome a son born to a Huyan tribe woman as the new Khan, I, Asta, can only lead my troops to meet him in battle."

"You are presumptuous!" Ohno suddenly couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, and refuted sharply, "The fifth prince is also the Khan's own blood. Now that the Khanate has no leader, why can't he succeed the new Khan!"

"Just because his mother's surname is Huyan, and because he has half of the blood of the Huyan tribe on his body." Asta looked coldly at Ono, his face became more serious, "Don't forget, our Helian tribe has spent a lot of money." It took many generations of hard work to destroy the Huyan tribe, and finally became the master of Dihu. But now, you actually want to support a child born to a woman from the Huyan tribe as the new Khan. You are worthy of those who died tragically at the hands of the Huyan tribe Are you a warrior? Are you worthy of Yida Khan who just died?"

"Also, don't forget the poisonous oath that Huyantai made before he died. Even if there is only one person left in the Huyan tribe, he will destroy the Helian tribe. You support a son born to the remnant of the Huyan tribe as Xin Ke. Khan, do you want Huyantai's curse to come true? Do you want our Helian tribe to be exterminated?"

The other Dihu ministers and nobles in the golden tent were all silent, but their expressions were clearly touched, and their gazes at He Liantao were even more complicated.

Ohno suddenly didn't know how to continue to refute Asta, but he sighed silently in his heart. He knew that once Khan Yida made He Liantao the new Khan, he would attract a lot of opposition from Dihu. That's why he supported the Khan's eldest son, Helianba. After all, when the Helian tribe and the Huyan tribe were fighting for hegemony on the grassland, how many warriors of the Helian tribe died tragically under the sword of the Huyan tribe, and how many tribesmen were taken into slavery by the Huyan tribe. The hatred between the two sides can be said to be as deep as the sea, which is why the Helian tribe wanted to completely wipe out the tribe after they defeated the Huyan tribe.

At the beginning, Yida Khan wanted to accept a surviving Huyan tribe woman as the Yan family, which had already attracted the opposition of many Helian tribe nobles. If Yida Khan had not dominated the grassland at that time, his prestige was at the height of the sky, and he forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction of others. Hu was already in civil strife at that time.

But now the three brothers Helianba, Heliansheng and Helianji died unfortunately. The fourth prince Heliantuo has Han blood and is far away in the Central Plains. The only one who can inherit the position of Khan is the fifth prince Heliantao. Therefore, after some discussions with Dihu's important ministers and nobles, they still chose to support He Liantao as the new Khan.

But even so, at this moment, it still caused Asta's dissatisfaction and opposition, and now he openly refused to recognize Heliantao's new Khan in front of Yida Khan's spirit in front of so many Dihu important ministers and nobles.

Facing Asta's rudeness, among so many Dihu officials and nobles present, no one stood up and reprimanded him except Ohno, and the expressions on their faces clearly betrayed the doubts in their hearts. Out of the color of recognition.

"Asta, you dare to be rude to the new Khan, I will kill you!"

All the important ministers and nobles said nothing, but Ilig, the chief ten thousand, couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed directly in front of Asta, glared at Asta, and even put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist superior.

Earlier, Ilig was ordered to lead his troops to visit the three sons of Yida Khan, but he did not expect that when the news came that Khan was poisoned by Ketun, many soldiers rushed into the camp directly and wanted to kill him. Killed all three sons of Ke Dunsheng to avenge Yida Khan Khan. When he heard the news and rushed to stop them, the three princes had been chopped to pieces by the angry guards.

By now, Yilige knew that he had no choice but to fully support Heliantao's succession to Khan's position.After all, he is the only one who knows that He Liantao actually ordered the three princes he besieged. If He Liantao successfully succeeds the Khan, he will be a great hero in supporting the new Khan. On the contrary, if someone else becomes the Khan , in order to appease the hearts of the people, he will definitely be operated on.

Facing Ilig's glaring and cursing, Asta showed no fear, instead he sneered and said: "Ilig, you are also a person who has been greatly favored by Khan Ida, and you would not have been favored by Khan Ida You are not even as good as a dog, how can you have the right to bark in front of me, Asta, why, now that Ida Khan's bones are not cold, are you so anxious to seek refuge with your new master?"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the golden tent showed mocking expressions on their faces. After all, they had long been dissatisfied with Yilige. If he hadn't led his troops to besiege the three princes, and the protection was not good enough, how could the three princes have been killed? Unfortunately, how could they have no choice but to welcome Heliantao, whom they were least willing to support, as the new Khan.

"Asta, you dare to insult me, I will fight with you!"

How could Yilige, as the most trusted commander of the Khan's personal guards in Yida Khan's life, suffer such humiliation, and suddenly he was so angry that he wanted to fight Ashtar with his sword on the spot.

"Father Khan, don't use weapons rashly before your death."

At this time, He Liantao, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke, but he still did not turn his head, and continued to turn his back to the crowd, kneeling motionless before the coffin, and the crowd could only hear his cold words.

Although Ilig was full of resentment in his heart, he had no choice but to withdraw his knife and sheath it according to the order, glared at Asta bitterly, and stood back to his original position.

Asta ignored Ilig, just looked back at Heliantao's back, smiled coldly, his eyes were full of disdain, and then walked away without anyone stopping him.

The farce in the golden tent was finally over, but the worries in everyone's hearts were amplified by Asta's words, and their eyes on Helian Tao were even more complicated.

Everyone understands that Asta will never be the only one who opposes Heliantao's succession to the Khan position. If this matter cannot be handled properly, the entire Dihu Khanate is about to face a civil strife. The northern prairie will fall apart and fall into a situation of falling apart and attacking each other again.

He Liantao still knelt before the coffin without saying a word, as if the farce in the golden tent had nothing to do with him at all, and he was just mourning his father silently.

It's just that no one noticed that a strange color flashed in his eyes, as if he had made a certain decision.
