Just when the reform of the imperial examination swept from Chang'an to the Tang Dynasty at the speed of a tornado, the letter sent by Wang Jue's Mojia caravan to Huang Wen finally arrived. At the same time, there was also a letter written to him by Li Ji and Mrs. Li.

Although Huang Wen is cautious and cunning, he is still young in the end, and he has never done such a risky and exciting thing independently that could kill him at any time. There is another elusive Zhao Deyan who often shows off his sense of zài, and he is terrified these days.

After receiving the letter, Huang Wen suppressed his excitement and did not dare to take it out to check it until the dead of night. Although he misses his fiancée very much, he still focuses on business and opens Wang Jue's letter first.

The letter is mainly the greetings of the masters and apprentices of the Hundred Schools Sect to him, and finally the speculation of the Mo family about Zhao Deyan's identity. Huang Wen blinked, only to feel that a big pot of dog blood was coming down. Since Meng Langjun is not sure, it seems that he will inevitably take the risk of testing a thing or two.

The opportunity was not long in coming. Early the next morning, Jieli Khan asked Huang Wen to come over and say that he had something important to discuss.

Huang Wen has initially gained Jieli's trust, even so, in addition to not monitoring the actions in the tent, he is followed by two big men wherever he goes. Walking out of the tent, looking at the grassland with no edge in sight, thinking about the letters from his teachers, senior brothers and fiancée, Huang Wen clenched his fists and became resolute in his heart. (Li Ji: The stinky boy forgot about me...... ）

Seeing Huang Wen come in, Jieli pulled out a reluctant smile and said, "Cui Langjun, come and sit." ”

Looking at Jieli's constipated appearance, and then looking at Zhao Deyan with an expressionless face next to him, Huang Wen had no choice but to ask: "Khan seems to be unhappy, why is this?" ”

"Hmph, it's not because of Li Shimin, he's too rampant! How many people froze to death on our grassland, and he didn't die from the locust plague. I asked people to buy salt from him, saying that they didn't have enough salt to eat, and they were really powerless. Bah, I gave so much salt to the leaders the year before last, I don't think he is short of salt to eat, I think I don't know that Li Poor Ghost has a new salt-making method! ”

Jieli stopped here when he said this, and he was so angry that he was shooting. In addition to anger and jealousy, Li Poor Ghost's inauthentic thing actually has such luck, God is really unfair! According to the spies' report, the salt-making method was provided by Wang Jue, and thinking that there were two people of insight beside him, Jieli asked them to ask. Zhao Deyan has been by his side for many years, if the other party has such a good way, he will inevitably tell the truth, for which he can vouch for his personality charm. Today's main question is Huang Wen, I don't know if the Cui family has stolen this secret method.

After sorting out the situation, Jie Li continued: "Recently, the leaders of the tribes below have complained a lot, and they always compare our natural disasters with the Tang Dynasty. I called Lang Jun here today mainly to ask, do you know the new salt making method? ”

Hehe, that's the right question. Few people in the Tang Dynasty know about the salt making method, and Huang Wen happens to be one of those few people. However, the method certainly does not lead to good results, but it can lead to other topics.

"Hui Khan, the grass people are dull and not good at Gewu. That Wang Jue inherited it, and the method she offered was also obtained by her predecessors after years of research, and her own intelligence was used in the conspiracy to frame her, and her talent could not be learned. "Huang Wen's speech is very consistent with his own fabricated identity, and it is normal for Cui Jiazi to say so. However, he had to be bold when he said it, and prayed inwardly that this passage would not be known to the teacher.

Jieli was disappointed when he heard this, and he also knew that Huang Wen was reasonable, so he didn't get angry, but sighed and sighed. At the right opportunity, Huang Wen said again: "Natural disasters are helpless, and it is not the Khan who makes everyone suffer, why should those leaders complain about the Khan?" Li Poor Ghost has someone to send the salt method, why don't they have the ability to send things to the Khan? Since he has no ability, he should shut up, and the reason why he dares to do this is because the Khan treats people too generously on weekdays. ”

Huang Wen's words were very contrary to his will, and even Jieli himself was embarrassed after hearing it. treats people generously or something, but it really has nothing to do with him. It's just that about the things that his subordinates donate, Jieli thinks that what Huang Wen said is quite reasonable.

"Oh, that's not the reason! Those incompetent idiots, why are you complaining about me?! ”

There was a play, Huang Wen continued to provoke: "I know that Khan has a bold temperament, and he treats those leaders as his own brothers. But... Look at how they do it, they treat you like an enemy! The grass people are shallow, but they also know how to entu. The Khan saved me from fire and water, and I didn't care about it all to pieces, but I also wanted to repay the Khan's great kindness.

Looking at them again, how many of those leaders were taken in by the Khan during the crisis? They are now living a good life, but they complain about their benefactors, how can there be such a reason? According to the grass people, they just lack rectification. To put it irreverently, the tribesmen naturally put their leaders first, and when those tribes regain their strength, they are afraid that the rampant people will attack the khan! ”

But all leaders have a common problem, and they are suspicious. After listening to Huang Wen at this time, and thinking about the daily appearance of those who belonged to him, Jieli actually felt that everyone had signs of opposing him. Then Na Cheng must try to stabilize his position.

After all, Zhao Deyan has been in the grassland for many years, and compared to Huang Wen, who has just arrived, Jieli naturally trusts him more. He was so angry that he slapped the case again, and then looked at Zhao Deyan and asked, "What do you think, sir, can you see that those tribal leaders are anti-willing?" ”

"Cui Langjun's observation is very good, the biggest problem of our Turkic existence is that the power is too dispersed, and the talents of those leaders are too mediocre. The minister had already told the khan that it was best to collect the power in his hands strongly, but the khan was too attached to friendship and did not listen to my advice. If you say that you are against your heart, I see that many people have the intention to move, but they have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage. But what if anyone gives them the guts? Zhao Deyan has an upright face, and he flatters people but is no worse than Huang Wen.

Jieli naturally remembered that Zhao Deyan had mentioned the matter of collecting power, and he also agreed with it at that time, so there was a matter of improving the law and government decree. It's just that although his strength is strong, he is still afraid that those leaders will resist together, so he finds a reason to prevaricate by making his face look good. As for what Zhao Deyan said about giving courage to those who are brave, except for Li Shimin, he doesn't think about it. Originally, his strength was stronger than Li Shimin, but after this natural disaster, although he didn't want to admit it, Li Shimin and himself were indeed evenly matched.

If Li Shimin stands up to stir up trouble at this time, and then promises some benefits, it is difficult to ensure that those leaders are not moved. The crisis suddenly arose, and Jieli was able to show his face at this time, he got up and hugged his fists at Huang and Zhao and said: "I don't want to deal with them, but if they turn against me together, the strength is still not enough to suppress it, and I ask the two gentlemen to help me." ”

Zhao Deyan said first: "The minister has been waiting for the Khan to make this decision, it's really good that you can figure it out." As for the way to deal with those tribal leaders, since we can't suppress them by force, then we have another way. Since the Khan listened to the words of his ministers and added some edicts, haven't they been honest for a while? Why don't we improve the law again? ”

Since listening to Zhao Deyan's statement, Jieli has formulated many decrees for the Turks with simple customs, and the Chinese people have indeed obeyed. After thinking about it, Jieli felt that it was all due to natural disasters that it had become like this, not because the centralized government decree law was not easy to use. Although his heart was moved, Jieli still had doubts in his heart, "Sir, it hasn't been long since the decree was added, and I'm afraid that those who are used to being idle won't be able to stand it." ”

Seeing Jieli's hesitation, Huang Wen hurriedly persuaded: "I have watched the decrees formulated by the Khan, and the grass people think that they are both practical and beneficial to the people. You think, there are a lot of regulations in the law that benefit the people, and the people should be happy. In this way, it is not possible to win the hearts of the people and limit those leaders, and not to kill two birds with one stone? If you look at Datang again, it is because of the perfection of laws and regulations and the unity of rights that they rarely have problems. ”

As soon as he mentioned Datang, Jieli began to be jealous of Li Shimin again, and he really wanted to experience the taste of Yiyantang. After Zhao Deyan and Huang Wen took turns to persuade him, and the sweetness he tasted before, Jieli felt that improving the law was indeed the best way to solve the current crisis.

Li Shimin has the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, although we only have two scribes, we can use ten of them. Thinking of this, Jieli said cheerfully: "The two gentlemen are talented, so there are two laborers who make the law." ”

Seeing that Jieli was blind and pretending to be a literati, Huang Wenqiang resisted the urge to laugh, and didn't even dare to say it. Zhao Deyan's style is higher than Huang Wen's, and he returned the salute with a stern and upright face.

To solve the worries in his heart, Jieli high-fived and called the left and right to come up to eat and dance, and took the two to hold a small banquet.

During this period, Huang Wen and Zhao Deyan looked at each other many times. Huang Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this confusing Zhao Langjun has probably the same purpose as his trip, but I don't know if his identity is really as the Mo family giant guessed. Zhao Deyan was also guessing where Huang Wen came from, this guy didn't look like the Mo family, how could he communicate with the Mo family caravan.

As for the decrees, good decrees also depend on how they are used and to whom. The Turks were inherently unfettered nomads, and a series of previous decrees had made tribal leaders complain and the people of the country angry. This time, it will be operated by the hands of the two people, and it will inevitably achieve the effect of arousing public indignation. In the event of a natural disaster, due to the lack of expenses, Zhao Deyan instigated the matter of levying taxes in advance, and only hoped that the more chaotic the grassland, the better, so that the war could start faster.
