"Your Highness not!" The eldest grandson Jiaqing walked in from the outside in a hurry.

Bowed to Li Chengqian, and the eldest grandson Jiaqing said eagerly: "The minister heard that there is a group of thieves who have been doing evil in Chang'an City recently, and even attacked the palace at night, Your Majesty is furious, my uncle's Zuo Xiaowei and Su Guogong's Zuo Wuwei are a total of two guards in Jingping City, and now the king is entangled with this group of thieves, and His Royal Highness must not be implicated!" ”

Li Chengqian was a little at a loss when he heard this: "How is this good?" ”

Cheng Chumo said eagerly: "The minister is willing to guarantee the head of the item, Bailu Hou has nothing to do with the thief!" ”

Li Chengqian looked around helplessly, and finally looked at Lu Deming, who was teasing Xiao Shou'er, and said, "What should I do now?" Please teacher teach me! ”

Lu Deming hugged Xiao Shou'er, restrained his smile and said: "The minister dares to ask His Highness, the king has been reading for His Royal Highness for nearly two months since he entered the palace, and from His Royal Highness's point of view, what is his character?" ”

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and hesitated: "Wang Shiyu is quite arrogant, he only befriends the teacher on weekdays, and the teacher lectures on weekdays, Wang Shiyu can always extend his knowledge and guide him, so that the lonely ears and eyes are re•••••freshed."

"Your Highness!" Lu Deming interrupted: "Wang Xi used to be the face of the Golden Palace, and he had a fierce debate with several ministers of the court, Hongru without falling behind, how to learn from his talents, needless to say, what the minister asked was, in the eyes of His Royal Highness, Wang Xi's character?" ”

Li Chengqian thought about it for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lonely and young, I don't know how to look at human character, but I heard that Wang Shiyu is the most filial person who once cut his blood and fed his relatives, and his father and Mr. Li Gang have said that a person of filial piety, even if there will be some mistakes, but it will never be a great evil person!" ”

Lu Deming smiled with relief: "In that case, why should Your Highness worry? ”

The eldest grandson Jiaqing said angrily: "Sir! I know that Mr. has always been good friends with His Royal Highness, but this matter is very wide-ranging, and now among the holy concubines, Wei Wang Tai is favored by the sun, although he can't afford to be the prince, but I, as the prince's minister, how can I not take precautions? ! The situation of Wang Xi's matter is unknown, how can Mr. put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at a disadvantage! ”

Lu Deming smiled and said: "Whether Wang Xi is related to the chaotic ministers and thieves who attacked the palace at night, no one will know better than Wang Xi, and now Wang Xi has sent his dear mother and sister-in-law into the palace, isn't he showing his heart to His Majesty and the crown prince?" Monarchs and ministers, if the prince stands by at this time, I am afraid that it will make the teeth of those who are attached to the prince cold! ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he immediately said angrily: "How can this be true, not to mention how the king reads, the fourth brother has to defend the king, it is the righteousness of the prince, among the brothers, the fourth brother and Gu are the most friendly, you slander and divide our brotherly feelings, where is the intention?!" ”

"Your Highness•~~~," Eldest Sun Jiaqing said in disbelief.

Li Chengqian didn't want to listen to his explanation anymore, and immediately shouted: "Where is Feng Xiaoyue?!" ”

Feng Xiaoyue, the leader of Li Chengqian's guards, entered in response: "The minister is here!" ”

"Set up the Taiji Palace, I want to go and ask to see my father!"

"No!"

In the study of the Taiji Palace, Li Er put down the fold in his hand, looked at the leisurely Yuwen Feng on the side and said: "The Shaoqing of Dali Temple wore a book, saying that near the left side of Wang Xi's mansion, a large number of Turkic fine works were captured, and Dali Temple interrogated day and night, and learned that these people were the subordinates of the Turkic River Khan, most of whom had been lurking in Chang'an for several years. Even if Wang Xi seals Bailu Hou, it is only a county Hou, and there are nearly 100 marquis in my Tang Dynasty today, why would Luhe Khan focus on Wang Xi, who is newly feuded as a marquis? ”

Yu Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, and said with a random expression: "Your Majesty, do you know who this Luhe Khan is?" ”

Li Er was stunned and puzzled: "After the reorganization of the foreign officials, their hands and feet are rusty, and they know very little about the Turks. ”

Yu Wenfeng sighed and said leisurely: "Your Majesty should also recognize him, Luhe Khan is Zhao Deyan who was attached to the Turks back then!" ”

"Bang!" Li Er took the case: "It's actually this person who has forgotten his ancestors!" As a Han Chinese, but to sit on the Turkic lackey, so incorruptible and shameful, carrying the ancestors, one day, when I raise troops to the north, I will kill them quickly! ”

Yu Wenfeng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is angry, in fact, this Zhao Deyan is also a hard-working person, Your Majesty may not know that Zhao Deyan is really a secret son arranged by the foreign waiting officer in the grassland back then!" ”

"What?!" Li Er was shocked: "In that case, why did you become the Turkic Khan of the River now?!" ”

Yu Wenfeng said slowly: "More than half of the internal and external officials were purged when they returned to Yang Jian, so Yu Wenying and I recruited good talents and carefully taught wisdom and strategy, and Zhao Deyan was the one who entered the foreign officials."

The matter of going north to the Turks should also start from the Sui Zuo Xiaowei hussar general Changsun Sheng through the Turks, the Changsun generals and the Wenxi County Gong Pei Ju used the Turks to compete for the throne of the Khan, strategizing, using a big discord strategy, so that the Turks attacked each other, and finally split into the east and west, since then, the strong Great Turks are gradually declining, and there is no longer the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou when they wave their troops to the south, wanton looting and domineering! ”

"Pei Ju?" Li Er was puzzled, Pei Ju because of his repeated slander in Yang Guang, not only did not dissuade Yang Guang's mediocrity, but also colluded with Yang Guang, so that the Great Sui was finally full of holes, and the eighteenth road anti-king rose up, after Li Tang established the country, Pei Ju still had to be in a high position because of his friendship with Li Yuan, and even worshiped the prime minister several times, but he was notorious in the former Sui, and the world corporal Lin Ju regarded him as a minister, and even Li Er himself planned to dismiss him after the government was stable.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ju, who has always been regarded as a traitorous minister, has such great achievements!

Yu Wenfeng smiled and said: "The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace." In the old man's view, Pei Ju is a talented person, but the wind is not good, in the past, he passed through the north, strategized, took the lead, and entered the Hu camp alone many times, and later the official was in a high position, Yang Guang was mediocre, and he tended to be inflammatory, and since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has not made several direct remarks? Jun faint and mediocre, Jun Ming and straight, such a person, the tiger and wolf medicine of the faint king, the thousand miles of horses of the Ming monarch, it depends on how His Majesty uses it~"

Li Er said thoughtfully: "The king is faint and the ministers are lazy, the king is bright and straightforward, and most of the people are protected, I think it is true~"

Yu Wenfeng continued: "After the Turkic split, the Western Turks retreated to the Mobei and Western Regions, which is not a cause for concern, but the Eastern Turks are still powerful, in order to practice the art of war and to weaken the Hulu, Changsun Sheng and Yu Wenying, the foreign officer in charge of Turkic espionage at that time, planned a shocking plot.

Changsun Sheng thought that the reason why the Turks were strong was because the grassland was high and far away, and it was difficult to survive, and it was difficult for the Hu people who were accustomed to life and death to see life as valuable, so they were not afraid of death, as long as a war horse in the crotch even a young child would become a fierce warrior, whether it was the Xiongnu of the former Han Dynasty or the Wuhu of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but the Xiongnu and the Wuhu finally died out, why? ”

Li Er listened to Yu Wenfeng's words quietly, this old man seemed to be not just answering his questions, but more like teaching him his precious knowledge that had gone through more than 80 years of three dynasties!

"Because whether it is the Xiongnu or the Wuhu, when they were weak, they climbed the ice and snow on the grassland, and fought with heaven and earth, so their courage and tenacity made them strong quickly, and then they herded horses south, wantonly plundered, from then on, they knew that the thatched huts of my Han people are also more comfortable and warm than the tents of the grassland, and the mulberry and mashu brocade is far more gorgeous than their smelly animal skins, and the food of the Han people is also more fragrant than their undercooked sheep and cows~

If the Xiongnu were defeated by the heroic wind of the Han Dynasty, then the Wuhu was defeated by the prosperity of the etiquette of the Han people, they entered the Central Plains, learned the customs of my Han family to wear wide robes and big sleeves, and the pavilion tile house replaced the cowhide tent, and the wealth and comfort made them no longer a warrior who could fight endlessly with a scimitar in hand, and the four hooves of the war horse were tied to the rope and could no longer gallop like the wind, so, but for a hundred years, the Wuhu completely died out!

When the Turks arose, no matter whether it was Shibi Khan or Chuluo Khan, no matter how strong the Turks were, they were deliberately maintaining the tradition of loose steppe decrees and fierce folk customs, so Changsun Sheng and Yuwenying planned to rebel against the Xiongnu as the Bank of China said, and send a Central Plains scholar to weaken the strategy.

Yu Wenying selected hundreds of people outside the waiting office, and finally selected Zhao Deyan, who was the most outstanding in learning and learning, Zhao Deyan was an orphan, who was adopted by Yu Wenying and carefully taught and cultivated, and worshiped him as his father-in-law. He was the hottest talent of the foreign waiting officer at that time!

After Zhao Deyan entered the grassland, he was soon appreciated by Jieli, when Luo Khan died, the Turkic headquarters originally wanted to serve the young son of Shibi Khan, Tuli as Khan, Zhao Deyan promised to return the throne to Tuli when he became an adult, and persuaded the former Sui Yicheng princess of Khotun to change Jieli to Khan.

Zhao Deyan followed the instructions of Changsun Sheng, in the Turkic dictatorship, changed the old Turkic customs, strict government decrees, and encouraged Jieli to exchange markets with the Central Plains, introduced a large number of extravagant things such as silk and colored porcelain, and persuaded Jieli to appoint the grassland Zhuhu on the grounds of Turkic goodwill and Turkishness, and alienated the Turkic headquarters.

The grassland snowed heavily, the livestock of the various departments suffered countless losses, and the various departments famine for many years, but Zhao Deyan persuaded Jieli to levy heavy taxes on the ministry, so that the originally loyal Jieli tribes rebelled one after another, and the grassland fought endlessly for a while, and no longer had the strength to go south! ”

Yu Wenfeng took a sip of tea and continued: "If Zhao Deyan is allowed to continue, in just a few years, the Turkic headquarters will start a full-scale war with the steppe tribes, and then the Central Plains will wave troops north, and a war can ensure that the north will be war-free for a hundred years!"

It's a pity, Yang Guang has no way, the Central Plains is full of smoke, and all the energy of the external officials is involved in the Guannei, especially in the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Yu Wenying was killed in Daxing City, and the outer officials were wantonly purged, and the dark sons who were arranged to enter the grassland earlier lost contact, and Zhao Deyan has always regarded Yu Wenying as his father, and he was anxious and heartbroken, and since then he has really surrendered to the Turks!

In just a few years, Jieli, with his assistance, suppressed the disputes of the various departments, unified all parties, controlled 200,000 strings, repeatedly went south, and tried in vain to intervene in the battle of the Central Plains. ”

Li Er was silent, he knew this, when the Turks were strong, the princes of the Central Plains, including Li Yuan, had called Jieli a vassal in order to protect themselves.

"Zhao Deyan also used the secret son of the foreign waiting officials as the base, and established a complete set of espionage and assassination institutions for the Turks based on the internal and external waiting officials." After Yu Wenfeng finished speaking, he turned his head to look out the window.

Ouyang Yin broke in in a panic and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Taicang is on fire!" ”
