In the past few months, Liu Yan has deeply experienced his father's hard work.

Since Emperor Liu Yutong fell ill, Liu Yan took over most of the day-to-day affairs of the country. As the ruler of a big country, as long as you have the heart, you have to deal with a mountain of big and small events every day. If it was Liu Yutong himself, he could hand over trivial matters to the officials of the Sixth Ministry, and only deal with those major affairs, but Liu Yan is different, he has just come into contact with state affairs, he wants to handle everything so that his father can rest assured, and at the same time, he must also understand those small and subtle aspects of the political situation as soon as possible, help Li Zaixing's faction and Han Kemin's faction achieve a balance of power, and at the same time cultivate his own forces. All of this has led to the current situation of working from the early hours of the morning to a little sleep after late at night. This is a painful torment for Liu Yan, who is active by nature, if it weren't for Ji Chonghai and Wu Si taking on a lot of affairs, Liu Yan probably wouldn't even have time to go to the palace to play boxing activities and move his muscles.

"Huh, I can't imagine that it is so hard to be a good emperor, it is really difficult for my father to work hard for decades." Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh when he took the ginseng soup from Ji Chonghai's hand.

Ji Chonghai smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, how many emperors have been diligent in political affairs when they were young, and indulged in pleasure when they were old. In fact, we can't blame these emperors too much, it's really not easy to maintain this kind of enthusiasm for governing the country, and it is really rare to be able to do it like the emperor. ”

Liu Yan glanced at Ji Chonghai and said, "Old Ji, you're reminding me not to become a sinner who leaves an infamy, right?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, His Highness thinks too much."

"Hmph, you're getting more and more cunning." Liu Yan drank the ginseng soup as he spoke, and then continued to return to the work of handling official documents.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness!" Wu Sicheng trotted all the way into the hall.

Liu Yan raised his head and scolded: "You kid is getting more and more unruly, isn't it too ** here, are you deaf when everyone else!" ”

Wu Sicheng hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Yes, what His Highness said is that the villain is guilty." However, the villain has just learned of a major event, and he has come to report to His Highness. ”

Liu Yan pursed his lips: "If it is really a big matter and it is not my turn to decide, then it will be submitted to my father and the emperor for decision, you will come to me to shout, and it will not be a real big event." ”

"Your Highness is right, this matter does not need to be reported to the emperor immediately, the emperor will know about this matter sooner or later, but this matter may have a bearing on the national policy in the next few years or even decades, Your Highness said that this is not a big deal?"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Let's hear about it. Liu Yan looked at Wu Sicheng's expression not like a fake, but aroused some interest.

"Back to Your Highness, Your Highness should remember that last year, the Great Khan of Tukhi Imidi went on an expedition to Paz, but died inexplicably at the hands of a lord named Baibasbarn."

"Well, I remember. Tukhi has lost the Great Khan, and it should be left to the elders before a new Great Khan is elected. Liu Yan replied while reviewing the official document.

"It is in this way that the new Great Khan has been elected, and it is the son of Immidi who has succeeded to the throne."

"Oh, in that way, Tuqi will settle down." Liu Yan replied absentmindedly.

Wu Sicheng deliberately raised his voice and said, "If this is the case, it won't be a big deal." As soon as Bataan Khan succeeded to the throne, his uncle Anbalturi launched a mutiny, Bataan Khan died in the chaos, and Anbalturi took control of the situation, killed all the elders, and usurped the throne of Tukh! ”

"What!" Hearing this, Liu Yan finally stopped what he was doing, straightened up and looked at Wu Sicheng: "Anbalturi, this guy is an insatiable guy, if he comes to be the Great Khan of Tuqi, I'm afraid he will invade everywhere." ”

Wu Sicheng nodded, his face full of pride: "Your Highness, this is not the final result." When the Turki tribes heard the news, they immediately fell into a chaos, and everyone was worried about whether to obey the new Great Khan, at this time, Batain Khan's brother-in-law, Abicheril, the king of Zuoxian, erected a banner of rebellion, claiming to avenge Batain Khan, and the responders were in the Dao one after another, and Anbalturi immediately sent troops to suppress it, and as a result, a big battle with Abichilir in the area of the Moon Sea, and Abicheril narrowly won. After this battle, both sides were unable to fight again, and as a result, negotiations established that the Turkic Deed was divided into two khans, the eastern and western khans. The Turkic kingdom is divided, Your Highness. ”

Liu Yan stayed in place after saying this, and even Ji Chonghai was surprised. The northern power of Tuqi has been divided, which can be said to reduce the threat to the north of the Silk Country, but Imidi Khan is the son-in-law of the Silk Country and maintains a quite friendly attitude towards the Silk Country, but the attitude of the two Great Khans today is difficult to fathom. It is really difficult to say whether it is happy or sad, and it is no wonder that Wu Sicheng said that this is related to the issue of national policy in the next few decades.

"Why is there no rumor about such a big thing, and how do you know about it?" Liu Yan was stunned for a while before squeezing out this sentence.

Wu Sicheng saluted and said: "Back to Your Highness, not long after this incident happened, the efficiency of the intelligence network arranged by the villain in Tuqi is slightly better than that of the imperial court, and it is estimated that in another three or five days, the urgent report should arrive in Beijing." ”

Liu Yan frowned and said: "Your kid's hand is too long, I shouldn't be able to support you for such a toss for the cost of the event, right, what did you do secretly, from the truth!" ”

Wu Sicheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the villain has indeed made some adjustments in the direction of use with the funds given by His Highness, but please rest assured, what the villain does is to establish more accurate information, so that His Highness can grasp the opportunity and be invincible." ”

Liu Yan snorted: "Forget it, I don't care how you toss, but if you delay my business, then you are the only one who asks!" ”

"The villain understands."

Liu Yan changed his words and asked again: "That Abicheril is the warrior known as the 'Red Wolf', right?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness. This person was brave and sudden, and this was chosen by Immidi as his son-in-law. According to previous information, this man was not only a man of great courage, but also quite resourceful, and able to win the hearts of the people, and in just a few years he established his prestige in Tukchi, otherwise it would not have been possible for so many tribes to declare allegiance to him this time. From the perspective of the villain, I am afraid that this person will become a big problem for us. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"Your Highness, please think that this person has risen to prominence in just a few years, and has become the khan of a great power, and his ambitions are bound to flourish. Turthi has always been a raider, and since he made friends with our dynasty, Imidi has been able to obtain a large amount of supplies from trade with our country, but he cannot meet the needs of his ministry, so he must go out to raid, so he aims at Paz in the west. But now that Tukchi is divided into two countries, and Abicilir can't get the proceeds of the plunder from Paz, where will he start? ”

Liu Yan cupped his cheeks and said, "We can increase trade with them, can't this satisfy them?" ”

Wu Sicheng said: "It's okay for now, Tuqi suffered a big defeat last year, and now after this incident, the strength has been damaged a lot, both sides want to recover, and they shouldn't make a move on us for the time being, but it's hard to say in a few years." ”

Liu Yan nodded and said: "We must now focus on the war against Goryeo, and it is not appropriate to be an enemy with them for the time being, so in the past two years, we will have a good grasp of the balance of power between the two sides of the Tuqi Contract, and strive to let them fight first and lose both, and they will not be able to look south." In this case, I'm afraid we have to increase the scale of intelligence in Tuqi first, right? ”

"His Royal Highness is wise and decisive, and the villain admires him very much." Wu Sicheng bowed deeply.

"You don't make a fool of yourself, I don't eat this." Liu Yan said and stood up and paced slowly, muttering to himself: "There is another red wolf in the north, is it better to feed the wolf first to stabilize it, or to starve and lose weight?" ”

The year 800 of the Gregorian calendar is coming to an end. In this year, many people who later became famous all over the world stepped on the stage of history, and the troubled times have begun to emerge, and the next is the chaotic 801 years.
