The news of the rebellion of the Turks in Hongzhou also quickly spread to Chang'an, Li Xiu was also shocked when he heard the news, the first thing that came to mind was that Zhao Deyan might be punished for this incident, and the second thing was to worry about Xue Rengui's safety, after all, no matter how brave Xue Rengui was, it was impossible for him to fight against the rebels alone.

However, soon there was news from Hongzhou, although the scale of the Turkic rebellion was unprecedentedly large, but it was also quickly suppressed, and Zhao Deyan also personally wrote a book to tell the causes and consequences of this Turkic rebellion.

It was only then that Li Xiu knew that the rebellion of the Turks was not accidental, but had been a long-standing grievance, and it could even be said that it was originally deliberately done by Zhao Deyan, in order to solve the unstable factors within the Turks at one time.

Speaking of what Zhao Deyan did in Hongzhou, Li Xiu knew better than anyone else, and Zhao Deyan hated the Turks very much in his heart, so when he was governing, it was inevitable that he would be a little harsh, which also led to the unclear resistance of the Turks before, but they were all suppressed, and the Tang Dynasty was also collectively blind to this situation, as if Hongzhou had become a place outside the law, of course, this is also inseparable from Li Shimin's acquiescence.

Hundreds of thousands of Turks were relocated to Hongzhou, and all the surrounding passes were heavily guarded, which also made it almost impossible for the Turks in Hongzhou to have contact with the outside world. Moreover, after these Turks moved from the steppe to Hongzhou, they were immediately scattered by Zhao Deyan, and then a hundred people were a village, and a thousand people were a town, and each town had a special official responsible for management, and set a task for each town to reclaim wasteland, if it was not completed, it would be punished very harshly.

In addition, Hongzhou also implemented a harsh system of joint sitting, if anyone in a village dares to rebel against the imperial court, the whole village will be implicated, and if someone breaks the law, others are also responsible, and Zhao Deyan also encouraged the Turks to report each other, and if the whistleblower is true, he will also be rewarded in the future.

It is also through the above series of measures that Zhao Deyan firmly controlled the Turks in Hongzhou, of course, there must be Turkic people who are dissatisfied in secret, and even try to resist, but because the previous tribes have been dispersed, the power of the resistants to contact is limited, so these resistance forces were quickly suppressed.

What's more worth mentioning is that Zhao Deyan also fostered a group of pro-Tang faction among the Turks, although they are Turkic, but some for the sake of glory and wealth, some people have thrown themselves into the arms of the Tang Dynasty because of hatred and so on, these Turks are more familiar with their own people, and when suppressing the Turks, they are more ruthless and cruel than the Han people, which also saves the Tang army a lot of effort.

Although Zhao Deyan firmly controlled hundreds of thousands of Turks on the surface, and Hongzhou under his governance, he dug rivers, built various facilities, and even villages and towns were built, and the grain output was higher and higher year by year, but the Turks who secretly wanted to resist have not decreased, but because of the brutal suppression of the Tang Dynasty, these Turks were more cautious and more cautious.

Zhao Deyan has long been aware of the hidden resistance force within the Turks, and has always wanted to eliminate this force, after all, the enemy is in the dark, which is very unfavorable to him, and over time, this resistance force may contact more Turks, if they are allowed to expand their power to the entire territory of Hongzhou, it will be really bad.

It is also in this situation that Zhao Deyan also began to deliberately lure the Turkic resistance forces in the dark to come out, on the one hand, he began to reduce the army in Hongzhou, and even the garrison in Hongcheng was withdrawn some, the reason is that Hongzhou is becoming more and more stable, and there is no need to waste so many troops, in fact, the public security situation on the surface of Hongzhou is indeed improving, after all, those Turks who resist are not stupid, and they are slowly all going underground.

In addition, Zhao Deyan also asked some Turks loyal to the Tang Dynasty to try their best to break into those rebels and encourage them to rebel, which is also his old job, and the Turks who were so powerful at the beginning were dragged down by him.

However, just relying on the above, it is still impossible to expose those Turkic people who resisted, so he began to artificially create discrimination against the Turks, and even did not hesitate to create confrontation between the Han and the Turks, for example, the inner city of Hongcheng is only allowed to live by Han people, and the status of the Han people in Hongzhou is also higher than that of the Turks......

It was also under the creation of Zhao Deyan's room that the contradictions between the Han and the Turks in Hongzhou began to become acute, if Li Xiu knew Xue Rengui's experience on the road, he would feel the opposition between the Han and the Turks, coupled with Zhao Deyan's secret agitation, which finally led to this Turkic rebellion, although Zhao Deyan had already prepared, but also almost let the rebels capture Hongcheng.

Li Xiu was originally worried about Xue Rengui's safety, but in the recital sent by Zhao Deyan, it was mentioned that Xue Rengui helped the imperial court's army to quell the rebellion and made a great contribution.

"Li Xiu, I didn't expect that there was such a fierce general hidden by your side, Zhao Deyan simply praised that Xue Rengui as an ancient evil, and Fan Xu was reborn, but why didn't you recommend him to the army?" In the imperial mausoleum, Li Shimin looked at the imperial mausoleum under construction in front of him, and said to Li Xiu with a smile.

"Your Majesty really wronged me, Xue Rengui was the last time I went to Taiyuan to move the tomb for Queen Mu, I met by accident, Jin'er also clamored to worship him as a teacher, learn archery and martial arts from him, so I took him back to Chang'an, I was going to find an opportunity to recommend him to enter the military school, but he was the only son in the family, and his deceased parents also had a will, let him start a family first and then start a business, this time the reason why he went to Hongzhou is to marry his wife who was engaged to marry when he was a child!" Li Xiu explained with a wry smile at this time.

Today, Li Xiu came to the imperial mausoleum to inspect the progress of the project, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to come too, and as soon as they met, he talked about the things in Hongzhou, especially Xue Rengui was very interested, after all, Zhao Deyan looked at Li Xiu's face and praised Xue Rengui, and Li Shimin was originally a military general, so he naturally loved Xue Rengui.

Li Shimin also knew that Li Xiu was not lying, in fact, he had already found out Xue Rengui's life experience before, and even knew about Xue Rengui's fiancée, and he was just joking with Li Xiu just now.

"By the way, can the progress of the imperial mausoleum be accelerated, I'm afraid my father will ...... it" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Shimin's tone change, and his face was a little heavy.
