Chapter 939

It was just that during the communication, there were some misunderstandings.

Which led to twists and turns, making the Great General drift and wander to this point."

In fact, General Chilaowen had also understood the misunderstanding back then from Jebe.

It was all because his temper was a bit impatient, which led to this incident.

It was just that hearing the current Great Khan say this in person, General Chilaowen confirmed that it was indeed the case back then.

Thinking that because of a misunderstanding, not only did he leave his home and wander,

but he was also humiliated by the dried corpse evil Buddha, and his lifelong reputation was destroyed.

The most critical thing was that he hadn't accompanied the late Great Khan Temujin on that last difficult journey.

All kinds of bitterness and regret mixed together.

He couldn't help but feel sad again, and couldn't help but feel his nose ache, preparing to cry.

"It was all the subject's fault, it was all the guilty subject who deserved to die; I have failed the Great Khan!"

Thinking that Temujin would rather wear a green hat than fail him.

Yet he was wolf-hearted and left him.

General Chilaowen couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

Since the current Great Khan Ogedei had expressed his stance, Yelü Yelu Chucai, Muqali, and Jebe naturally wouldn't just watch.

They all stepped forward to offer words of comfort.

After a long time, General Chilaowen finally walked out of his guilt and gradually calmed down.

"Alright! The Great General's return this time, bringing back such important news, is truly valuable."

Ogedei was complaining in his heart, but on the surface, he still had a smile of relief,

"If you make a mistake, you must be punished; if you make a contribution, you must be rewarded; this is what the late Great Khan taught.

I order General Chilaowen to be promoted by one rank and receive the salary of a first-class marquis."

Although General Chilaowen was a trusted general of Temujin, in charge of the Kheshig Army and guarding the imperial court, he held great power.

But precisely because he guarded the imperial court, he rarely had the opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

So after so many years, apart from his official position, he didn't have any title.

Returning this time, Ogedei directly conferred him as a first-class marquis.

Upon hearing this, General Chilaowen was moved to tears again and immediately knelt on the ground.

Ogedei said again,

"Alright, alright, no need for this.

The Great General has worked hard from afar, so go down and rest more."

As he spoke, he gave Jebe a look, signaling him to take General Chilaowen down to tidy up.

Jebe understood and immediately helped General Chilaowen up and walked out.

Just as the two were about to reach the door of the Imperial Study, Ogedei suddenly said,

"Right, after you finish recuperating, find an auspicious day to pick up Temujin!"

In fact, Imperial Concubine Temujin was truly the most beautiful in the imperial court.

Ogedei himself had also coveted her for a long time.

It was just that he also knew that if he really took Temujin into his arms.

According to the customs of the grassland, it wouldn't count as anything.

But with General Chilaowen's matter first, Ogedei would get a reputation for being lustful and lacking ambition.

Although he liked female beauty, he loved power even more.

Therefore, after thinking it over, he finally betrothed Temujin to General Chilaowen in public.

General Chilaowen's return this time was indeed partly for Temujin.

Hearing the Great Khan's promise now, he was immediately ecstatic, turned around and knelt on the ground again,

"Subject General Chilaowen thanks the Great Khan for his kindness; from now on, the subject is the Great Khan's loyal dog.

If the Great Khan wants the subject to die today, the subject will never live until tomorrow."

After expressing his loyalty, Ogedei was also quite satisfied.

He had finally gained the loyalty of another high-level figure of the Great Yuan.

As long as these high-level figures were all bound to his command and listened to his orders.

Not to mention Tolui, Chagatai, and Jochi.

Even if Temujin returned in person, his Khan throne would be as stable as Mount Tai.

Thinking of this, Ogedei was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly, and sat on his throne, saying,

"The Great General doesn't need to be like this, go down and rest quickly!

Aodu, go find a few five-hundred-year-old spiritual medicines and send them to the Great General to heal his injuries."

"As you command."

Aodu immediately accepted the order.

The Great Ming only sent two hundred-year-old spiritual medicines, but Ogedei directly sent a few five-hundred-year-old ones.

This shows the strength of the Great Yuan, which is indeed far above the Great Ming.

"Grand Preceptor, King of Lu, and Jebe, you all express your views!"

After General Chilaowen retired, Ogedei immediately said gloomily to the three important ministers of the Great Yuan.

"Great Khan, we must not provoke the Qinglong Society again..."

Among the three, Jebe had the most straightforward personality.

He still thought Ogedei wanted to mess up the Great Ming's mission, so before the other two could speak, he took the lead.

Offending the Qinglong Society last time not only caused the late Great Khan to pass away.

Even the entire decision-making upper echelon of the Great Yuan had been replaced.

At this moment, no matter what, Jebe didn't suggest offending the Qinglong Society.

Yelü Yelu Chucai and Muqali looked at each other, both seeing bitter smiles in each other's eyes.

Jebe didn't understand this new Great Khan, but he, Yelü Yelu Chucai, and Muqali knew him extremely well!

Just from the fact that Ogedei had ruthlessly killed his three brothers as soon as he ascended the Khan throne,

one could know that in Ogedei's heart,

the Khan throne and power were far more important than anything else.

The reason why this new Great Khan suddenly brought up the Great Ming's Qinglong Society mission was clearly not because he wanted to destroy it.

But rather...

"General Jebe misunderstood."

Helplessly, Yelü Yelu Chucai had to come forward and explain,

"In fact, the Great Khan's meaning is not to mess up the Qinglong Society's mission.

But rather Chagatai..."

"Chagatai?"

Jebe was stunned at first, then reacted.

He wasn't a stupid person; he naturally thought of Chagatai surrendering to the Great Tang and obtaining the title of Yuan King.

Anyone with eyes knew that he must have brought out something to exchange for benefits.

Otherwise, how could the Great Tang's king title be easily granted to an outsider?

At first, several important ministers thought the Great Tang wanted to use Chagatai to split the Great Yuan.

Now it seems that this is only one of them.

It is very likely that Chagatai, for the sake of his own life, handed over the Qinglong Society mission that belonged to the Great Yuan to the Great Tang.

After all, Chagatai had just been sent to Qinglong Peak.

As soon as he came down, he went to the Great Tang to be crowned king.

"This, this, this..."

Jebe thought of the key points and was dumbfounded.

Chagatai was also the late Great Khan's son, and Ogedei was the new Great Khan.
