Mukhulai is not the only in the tribe that has been promoted without following the proper channel
The same for Burchu. If the Khan himself appointed, it and elevated the men to a great position and title it is not a violation of the rules.
The elders however crossed a red line.
The elders know it and the Khan knows it but the Khan could not block it because in order to establish rites and order, to establish rules and awe for the rules and laws, the leader, the one at the top must show that it has merit and it has value
If even he treats it like nothing, the people below him would also treat it as nothing
What the one on top likes, the people below would also like. What the people on the top dislike, the people below also dislike
If the superior has a preference, the inferiors will push it to the extreme
The elders use their influence to make the Khan listen to them.
That is the violation.
