Chapter 49 four

King Timur's prophecy was not wrong. The huge empire he left behind did not have a solid foundation. When his iron wrist became weak due to old age and frailty, the separatist forces in various places secretly sought to get rid of the control of the central government, and his rebellious children and grandchildren would also be greedy. eyes focused on the throne. The news of King Timur's death had just reached the empire, and western Persia took the lead in becoming independent and was occupied by the Turkmen Black Sheep Dynasty.At this time, the competition for the throne within the empire has become fierce. Both Haril and Pier can only watch the Black Sheep Dynasty take the lead and reap the benefits. For them, the loss of western Persia is still secondary. , and more importantly, who can occupy the throne of Samarkand.

Although King Timur established Ai Sunpier as the commander-in-chief of the army and heir to the throne, his will was not recognized by Miransha, Abbek, Khalil, Omar, Jihansha and others.As a result, the battle for the throne ignited everywhere. King Sun Omar stationed troops on the south bank of the Kur River, with nearly 50,000 troops, ready to attack Samarkand.After the death of King Timur, the competition for the throne became more intense. The situation before Omar was that his half-brother Khalil took the lead, the fourth uncle Shahru waited and watched, and his cousin Pi Er was determined to win. His father, the third prince Miransha, and his elder brother Abu Bek were both regarded as rivals by Omar.But the first thing he had to deal with was not these people, but Hansha, his cousin who had been assisting him under the king's order for many years.

Only Hansha's personality is somewhat similar to that of his uncle, King Timur, who is very strict with his orders and must follow orders.When King Timur appointed Omar as the governor of Western Persia, Hansha went out to the town of Western Persia as his deputy. For many years, although Hansha was Omar’s deputy in name, in fact he had the power of Omar. Ma couldn't interfere at all.King Timur admired Zhihansha's courage and bravery very much during his lifetime. His blind favoritism towards Zhihansha encouraged Zhihansha's arrogance to a certain extent. After the death of King Timur, the general advised Hansha that it is better to take the opportunity to remove Omar and receive Omar's army, and then use it as capital to fight for the throne.This suggestion was just right for Hansa, but one of Omar’s confidantes next to him quietly revealed the news to his master. Omar kept his face on the surface when he heard the news, but secretly made all preparations.

The big net is wide open, only waiting for Hansa to cast. Only Hansha was kept in the dark.He heard that Omar was staying on the south bank of the Kur River, and he asked to see Omar in the name of discussing important matters with Omar. Omar agreed immediately.To show his sincerity, he also sent his trusted minister Rong Bi to meet him. Rong Bi had a deep feud with Ji Hansha.Back then, Hansha loved a woman, Rong Bi had a marriage contract with her long ago, and took her as his wife first, Hansha was very angry and went to ask for it, Rong Bi refused to break the marriage, the two sued Oma, Omar sentenced the woman to Rong Bi on the grounds that "the woman is already Rong Bi's wife, how can a king take away another's wife".Rong Bi was naturally grateful, but Hansha held a grudge, but because of reason and Omar's protection, he couldn't bear it.At this time, only Hansha has made up his mind to betray, seeing Rong Bi, new hatred and old hatred surged into his heart, and he immediately ordered his left and right sides to take Rong Bi down.Rong Bi knew he was going to die, so without saying a word, Hansha swung his sword and beheaded Rong Bi.

The news of Rong Bi's unjust death spread quickly in Omar's barracks, and all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation.In fact, all this is Omar's plan.He knew Zhi Hansha too well, and he had expected that Rong Bi had a grudge against Zhi Hansha. If Zhi Hansha's rebellion was true, and Rong Bi sent him to his door, his self-willed and narrow-minded cousin would not He will miss this opportunity to get rid of the enemy, but once Hansha kills Rongbi, it will prove that Hansha's treachery has been resolved, and at the same time, Hansha will lose the support of his army first.Sacrificing a Rongbi is like killing two birds with one stone for Omar.

Poor thing is Rong Bi, he has always been loyal to Oma, and I don't know if he was aware of Oma's sinister intentions before he died? Killing Rong Bi, Ji Hansha led the army to the other side of the Kur River, and Omar had to ask Ji Hansha and his army to cross the river and enter his camp. Omar was waiting for Hansha in the camp. The two were guarded against each other, and agreed to leave the guards outside the tent, so that uncles and nephews would not be disturbed, and they had a good "talk". Omar has already prepared a banquet in the tent, and he invites only Hansa to the table, and talks while eating.Only Hansha refused to drink, and Omar did not force it, and drank it himself. Only Hansha saw that the wine was not poisonous, so he drank a few cups.At first the two of them had nothing to say, and when they drank too much, Omar suddenly asked Hansha: "I kindly sent Rong Bi to meet you, why did you kill him? By doing this, you clearly did not let my cousin go. In the eyes."

Ji Hansha replied without hesitation: "This disrespectful guy should have died a long time ago. It is his great fortune to let him live until now." Omar sneered: "If you kill him, you won't be afraid that others will laugh at you for killing the minister for a woman?" Only Hansha stared at Omar and asked, "Do you think I will be afraid?" "you……" "how?" "You... how are you doing?" "You should understand." "Could it be that you want to rebel?" "What is rebellion? My father is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, and I am the nephew of King Timur. I was born and died for him, and I have a share in this country."

Omar slapped the table hard, and suddenly, the cups and plates on the table trembled.Only Hansha thought it was a signal from Omar, and was about to attack him. To prevent accidents, he immediately pulled out the hidden dagger from his boot.Omar was startled, and got up to leave. At this time, there were shouts and fighting sounds from outside the tent. Only Hansha didn’t do anything, just took a step forward, grabbed Omar’s neck, and sent the blade down hard. Omar spewed blood from his neck and fell to the ground dead. Only Hansa swung a knife and cut off Omar's head.It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly had a doubt. Oma is a battle-tested general with both wisdom and bravery. How could he be so defenseless against him and so vulnerable?Doubts flashed through Zhi Hansha's mind, the two sides outside the tent were fighting in full swing, he didn't care about it, took Omar's head to the outside of the tent, and shouted to the two sides fighting: "Stop! "

His cries were drowned in the clash of swords, guns, swords and halberds and the deafening shouts of killing, and no one heard him. Only Hansha saw a chariot parked outside the tent, he boarded the chariot, raised Omar's head high, and shouted repeatedly: "Stop! Stop! Stop!" First, a few soldiers saw him and stopped fighting. Later, everyone stopped and looked at him. Only Hansa still held Umar's head and gave a short speech to Umar's soldiers.He said: "Omar was killed by me, and you people have no leader. I advise you to listen to me, lay down your weapons, and surrender to me. I promise, if you vote under my command, when I get the world, For all the people present, if you are promoted without an official, if you have an official, I will never treat you badly."

There was a slight commotion in the crowd, and people looked at each other in blank dismay.But none of Omar's soldiers really laid down their weapons as Ji Hansha said. It’s just that Hansha’s initial thinking was a little simple. He thought that since Umar was dead, Umar’s soldiers must be terrified of him.Unexpectedly, when he said something, Omar's soldiers were like clay sculptures and wooden sculptures, and there was no response. But Hansha felt more and more that something was wrong, and he subconsciously looked at the head in his hand.It's Omar's head, yes, but... An arrow flew out from the crowd and hit Hansha's wrist. As soon as he let go, Omar's head fell and rolled under the car.

Hansha stretched out his hand and pulled out the arrow feathers, covered his bleeding wrist with his hand, and shouted at the crowd: "Who! Who did it? Who stabbed someone in the back?" "It's me!" A loud voice sounded from the crowd, and Hansha couldn't help being surprised when he followed the sound. Omar!It was Omar! Isn't Omar dead?why he... Omar turned over and jumped on his horse, and pointed at Hansha with the tip of his whip: "Hansha, you traitor! You dare to kill even the king and grandson, and the spirit of King Timur will not let you go. Everyone, all of you You see, Hansha is a vicious wolf in human skin, and everyone can punish a traitor like him." Only Hansa was speechless.Omar comes back from the dead, throwing him into a momentary disorientation. Omar lost no time and ordered someone to take down Hansa.How could Hansha be willing to catch him without a fight? Holding a knife in one hand, he jumped off the chariot and charged towards Omar.The soldiers of the two sides fought against each other, and it was still a scuffle between generals and generals. It was just that Hansha's killing of the king and grandson did lose a little bit of reason. Only the morale of Hansha's troops was low, and they were quickly defeated by Omar's men. .Omar's personal bodyguards were particularly enthusiastic, and even beheaded Hansha, who had experienced many battles, under his horse. After Zhihansha died, most of the soldiers who belonged to Zhihansha surrendered. After the loss caused by the fierce fighting between the two sides, Omar's strength did not decline but rose. Omar entered the Weiyang Plain, a hundred miles west of Tbilisi, and sent people to bring Hansha's head and a letter to his father Miransha and elder brother Abbek.At this time, Miransha and his eldest son Abbek were reporting their arrival, preparing to lead an army to Samarkand for the funeral.As the eldest son of King Timur who remained alive, Miransha seemed to be more qualified to inherit the throne than anyone else, and Omar also expressed this desire in his letter.He said that his grandfather Timur had passed away, and he would lead all his troops under his father's command, and invited his father to attend the Weiyangzong King Conference so that he could ascend to the throne as soon as possible.He spoke nicely, but Miransha didn't dare to trust his ambitious son. Just when he and his eldest son were at a loss, Khalil also sent a letter. King Timur marched south, and Khalil was ordered to garrison Samarkand.When the news of King Timur's death spread to the country, Khalil immediately sent someone to imprison three of King Timur's most beloved royal stewards. The names are Nuridin and Shanai respectively.Khalil had always been jealous of Butudu, and on the day he was arrested, he poisoned him to death under the pretext that Butudu took advantage of the chaos to steal the treasures of the palace.Nuriddin and Shanai were both old, and Khalil was lenient to them, but forced them to hand over the keys to the two treasuries in the castle, and then took them into custody. Nuridin and Shanai have served in the palace for many years, and they were born and died with King Timur in their early years. Their prestige is extremely high, and they are often friends with princes, nobles and generals.What's more, for what Khalil did, there are many opponents in the army and the palace. These people don't want to share the world with Khalil. Prince Shahru went. While arresting the three stewards, Khalil also personally led a search of the princess's house.At that time, Princess Oeira escorted the body of King Timur back to Samarkand, and Khalil did not hesitate to "please" leave Ulugh Beg. His plan was that if something happened, he could use Ulugh Beg Come and bargain with the fourth uncle Shaharu. Having done what should be done and what could be done, Khalil reached out to his grandfather's treasure house without hesitation.The treasury is located in a castle not far from the city. Although the castle is not very tall, it is surrounded by deep moats, and the flowing water in the moats is endless all year round. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for anyone to break into the castle without permission.Khalil is the grandson of the king, and no one can stop him. He came to the castle, opened the treasure house, took out jewels and money to reward the army, and bribed the princes and ministers.Under the active operation of him and his mother Hanzedai, the princes and ministers finally agreed to hold a conference of kings in Samarkand to determine the new emperor of the empire. The letter sent by Khalil to his father also said that he would hold a king's conference in Samarkand, and invite his father to attend, so that he could ascend to the great treasure early.In addition, Khalil explained in his letter that his mother, Hanzedai, originally opposed her husband Miransha's accession to the throne, because she did not want to live with Miransha in the palace and suffer humiliation in the future. Change your mind. The two biological sons, two places, have to hold the Zongwang Conference. Moreover, the two sons kept saying that they would support him on the throne, which really made Miransha feel difficult.In fact, Miransha didn't trust any of his sons. The problem was that as a prince, he couldn't hide in Baoda all the time. He had to choose one of the two sons to attend the meeting, even if it was an adventure, he had to do so. He discussed with his eldest son, and Abbek knew that his half-brother Khalil had a deep prejudice against his father under the instigation of Khan Zedai.Comparing Khalil to Omar, he is more willing to trust his brother.What's more, he and Oma's biological mother, Mrs. Sola, are by his father's side, and if something happens, his mother can mediate from it. Milan Shayuan has no idea, and the eldest son's decision is his decision.Since the eldest son decided to attend the Weiyang Conference, he led his troops to the Weiyang Plain.On the way, Abbek's subordinates found out that Omar had gathered an army in the Weiyang Plain, and his power was stronger than that of his father and brother.Milan Sha panicked and did not dare to move forward, so he sent someone to inquire about the reason, and Omar replied: "My grandfather passed away recently, and I am afraid that there will be troubles in the frontier, so I have set up troops to prepare for any eventuality."At the same time, it is also to help his father ascend the throne. If anyone refuses to follow, he will not dare to act rashly when he sees the army by his side. For Omar's rhetoric, Miransha half-believed.Abbek suggested to his father that it is better for him to go to the Omar camp to investigate the movement first. If Omar really does something strange, his father should make preparations early.Miransha was worried that Abu Bek would die in vain, so he refused to agree. Seeing that both father and son had lost their mind, Mrs. Sola decided to meet her son by herself.After all, she was Oma's biological mother, and she could do nothing else, at least she could prevent her son from harming his father and elder brother.The situation was urgent, and Miransha, who was at a loss what to do, couldn't think of a safer way, so he had to agree to let his wife try. Abbek's guards escorted Mrs. Sola to Omar's camp, and Omar personally took her mother into the big tent, showing great respect to her.The change in his attitude made Mrs. Sola fantasize that she could go further and persuade her son to support his father as the throne.She said to her son: "Your father is the eldest son of King Timur, and he is the most qualified to inherit the throne. As his son, you should support him." Omar knelt in front of his mother and replied, "This is exactly what my son wanted. The son was born to you, mother. Do you still doubt the son's loyalty to his father?" Madam Sola was greatly moved.Unexpectedly, in this troubled autumn, the rebellious son suddenly became sensible.Following her son's instructions, she immediately wrote a letter to her husband and eldest son, asking them to come to Omar's camp with peace of mind and discuss the matter of enthronement together. Abu Bek was still worried. He advised his father to stand still for the time being, and let him enter the camp to negotiate with Umar on how to welcome his father, and then observe Umar's sincerity.Unless he can prove that Omar really supports his father, Miransha can meet him for a while. Otherwise, if his father is away, in case of accidents, he can still advance and retreat freely. After making all the arrangements, Abbek drove lightly and came to Omar's camp.Seeing that her father didn't come, Omar thought that her plan had been seen through by her father, and she felt a little disappointed and ashamed, but she pretended to be affectionate on the face, let Abu Bek into the big tent, and the two brothers talked over wine.When the wine was half drunk, Abbek suggested that since his younger brother Omar sincerely supported his father, why not go to his father's camp and hand over the army to his father's command?Omar sneered, and replied that he treated his father sincerely, but his father didn't trust him. Instead of being suspected by his father like this, it would be better to let him be a truly unfilial son.After gritting his teeth, he ordered the guards to take Abbek down, put him in shackles, and send him to the castle of Sultaniye tomorrow morning to be imprisoned. Abbek had long expected that Omar would turn his face and be ruthless, so he didn't feel much sadness about it.He spit on Omar, shook his shackles, and laughed out loud. The attendants brought by Abbek were very alert. Seeing that their master was detained, they immediately fled back to Miransha's camp and reported the news of Abubek's arrest to Miransha. Omar did not dare to delay, and led the army to attack Milansha's camp. In order to protect his strength, Milansha retreated voluntarily and joined uncle Shawuke at the border of Layi.After hearing the news, many leaders and Zongwangs of the Chagatai tribe came to Rayi, and met with Milansha to discuss major issues.Omar's sinister intentions were exposed. As a son, he actually attacked his biological father. Such a sinister and vicious scheming made the kings frightened. Miransha's power grew, and Omar returned without success. Omar originally kept Madam Sola's information about Abu Bek's entry into the camp. It was not until Abu Bek was escorted to Sultaniye that Madam Sola heard about it.It happened that Omar also returned to Weiyang Plain. Mrs. Sola came to Omar's tent and asked her son why he went back on his word, detained his brother and persecuted his biological father?Omar was troubled in her heart. When she saw her mother questioning her, she had no choice but to answer with a smile on her face: "Mother misunderstood. Since I invite my father and brother, how can I break my word? Mother doesn't have to listen to other people's instigation. Between me and Abu Bek, It was just because of discussing the matter of father's enthronement, the words were not harmonious, and conflicts broke out, I was angry and temporarily detained him, and we both calmed down and calmed down, and he will be released soon." A few perfunctory words, under the pretext of being burdened with important tasks, sent someone to send his mother to Go back to your own residence. Omar has no intention of releasing Abu Bek, but is planning to attack Abu Bek.He ordered someone to send a jar of poisoned wine to Abu Bek. Abu Bek knew Omar was a man and pretended to drink the poisoned wine, but suddenly attacked the guard with the wine jar, escaped from prison and returned to his father. This incident made Milansha further recognize the character of his son Omar, and he couldn't believe his other son Khalil. In this way, all he could do was to lead the army with Abbek and return immediately.The unfeeling of the two biological sons deeply stimulated Miransha, and he began to get tired of the battle for the throne. Abu Bek thought that they should make peace with their fourth uncle Shahru, and Miransha accepted his son's suggestion. At this time, Pi Er led the army and was approaching Samarkand.Peer was determined to retake the imperial capital, and he was gifted by his grandfather with an army far larger than Khalil's.Although Khalil has many troops and generals who support him, after all, Pi Er was the heir clearly designated by King Timur during his lifetime, and one of the troops led by Pi Er is the main force of King Timur's own army. This army has experienced many battles and is invincible.Khalil knew the fear that Samarkand's defenders felt about this pro-military force, because it was his own fear.After thinking about it, he had no choice but to write a request for help. The general idea of ​​the request letter was that he hoped that his second brother Omar would send troops to help him defeat Pier. In the letter, he promised that once Pier was eliminated, he would share the throne with his second brother Omar. In addition, he also said in the letter that if he is unfortunately defeated by Pier, and Pier seizes Samarkand and inherits the throne, the next unlucky one will be Omar. He sent his cronies to rush the secret letter to Omar's camp on the Weiyang Plain.Then, he personally released Fu An, an envoy of the Ming Dynasty who had been detained before, and expressed his sincerity in reconciling with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty as the heir of the Timur Empire. When Omar's reply letter arrived in Samarkand, the princess and I just left Pier's army and returned to Orynburg all the way. After returning to Orinburg, we learned that Ulugh Beg was detained by his cousin as soon as Khalil learned of the death of King Timur. What the princess was most worried about finally happened.Sodu worriedly told us that no matter how he reminded Ulugh Beg, he had no defense against Khalil's changes from beginning to end.This is Ulugh Beg.Princess Oeira educated Ulugh Beg into a benevolent astronomer, mathematician, theologian and poet, but failed to educate him into a statesman and military strategist.He has many talents that his grandfather and father did not have, and many things that are not as good as them.Even though he successfully inherited his father's throne, he was still scorned by his ambitious son, so that one day he died in shock and grief. This is something to say, and it is an eternal pain in my heart. The situation at that time was that the princess was full of self-blame for not taking Ulugh Beg with her. She told me that she would ask Khalil to release Ulugh Beg no matter what, as long as Khalil agreed to release Ulugh Beg, she would Willing to pay any price for it.
