As a Uighur Khan, Guangmingsheng, who took over most of the tribes, was actually an excellent monarch, although he was young, he was usually silent, and his mood was invisible, and he could also reward and punish his subordinate chiefs early, coupled with the advocacy of Manichaean monks and the military support of Jingshi Mingyan, so Guangsheng's reputation among the people was okay.

Guang Sheng has a habit of keeping a few sentences in his diary every day, and his diary is not long, most of them are one or two sentences, but they record the major events of the day.

There is only one sentence in his diary today: "Emperor Yu has arrived in Taiyuan, and there is still no news of the Central Plains envoys, and his mother is very worried." ”。

The Uighurs were not mere barbarians, and the descendants of the Tiele people drew strength and wisdom from the culture of the Western Regions and the Turkic peoples. They excelled in blacksmithing and handicrafts, and embraced Buddhism and Manichaeism.

The young Uighur Khan looked down at the words in his hand, fear spreading out of the void, as if a cold serpent was wrapped around his neck.

Most of these reports came from the Hedong region, and although the Uighurs had split and Manichaeism was suppressed by the Yu as a cult. The eagle dogs and minions of the Great Yu Dengli Khan hunted the Uighurs' tentacles as far as the Central Plains, but Guangsheng was still able to obtain a considerable amount of valuable information.

Despite the pressure, many Uighur traders and their companions passed on the important information they had gathered to the steppes.

After the civil strife, Dayu's attitude towards the Uighurs changed rapidly, and later the Yufu state personally led the army north to confront each other, and the strict border patrols in the Guanzhong and Hedong directions made most of the news reach the Han court only by detouring through Hebei, which was full of feudal towns, which made the young Uighur khans feel the pressure.

For the new successor to the throne of the Emperor Yu, there has always been some discussion in the Khan's court, this Li Xu made an extraordinary move, quickly defeated the eunuchs who controlled the palace, and killed the Tubo Zanprangdama who invaded Guanzhong, and the nobles in the Khan's court believed that this indicated that there was a British lord in the Central Plains in the south again.

Ying Lord, Guangming Sheng thought of this, put down the documents in his hand and walked out.

The tent where the Uighur Khan lived was a large tent with a radius of 200 paces on the left and right, and the wooden components were delicately carved with patterns, and under the thick cowhide was a carpet of Persia and Kushan, on which Guangsheng's leather boots were stepped on with great ease.

A group of snow-white-skinned, high-breasted Persian slave girls saw the khan get up and stepped forward, but Guangsheng waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

The current Uighur Khan had no interest in these men and women, and his heart had a deeper desire than the lingering of the flesh.

The curtain is raised by two tall white-skinned eunuchs from the distant Caucasus Mountains, who were sold by Uighur slave traders, whose contradictory nature of ruthlessness and meekness makes them excellent slave candidates.

Guangming Sheng knew that such slaves were in high demand, and heard that the khans of the Great Food Kingdom were buying them in large quantities and training them into a new army.

Walking out of the tent, the chill from the north made the robed Guangsheng feel a little sober, and some cheerful singing and the sound of the sergeants walking in the night eased the pressure on the Uighur Khan's heart.

The knights of the Pure World, who were guarding the tent, saw the Khan leave the tent, and the leading captain of the guard immediately protected the Khan from the left and right.

"Bodhisattva Bao. Guangming Sheng muttered the name of the captain of the guard: "Come with me." ”

"Yes, Khan. ”

The middle-aged warrior agreed, he waved his hand, and there was already a knight of the Jingshi Mingyan on the side who led the horse, and the captain of the guard, Bodhisattva Bao, lightly helped Guangsheng onto the horse, and then held the reins of the horse to lead the way in front.

A group of knights of the pure world and flames turned over behind the two of them, and followed closely behind.

"I'm going to see Natu, do you know where he is?"

Bodhisattva Bao bowed his head, he did not want the Khan to go to Natu, although he and Natu were friends, and Natu was indeed a wise man, but that kind of wisdom was not what the Khan needed.

"He's building walls. ”

"Let him come to me. ”

"Khan, it was the concubine who ordered Natu to build a wall......"

The Uighur khans were not tents living on water and grass, but built cities on the steppe according to the topography of the landscape. It's just that most of their former khanate courts have been burned down in civil strife, and it is really difficult to recover under the threat of other hostile tribes such as Jiankun.

That's why the Uighur Khanate moved to the warmer and safer south, but no one could have imagined that this move, which was supposed to hide from the hungry wolves in the north, would send itself into the jaws of the tigers in the south.

Guang Sheng was silent for a long time.

The Natu he was looking for were not Uighurs, but the Central Plains.

The Uighurs engaged in commerce in the Central Plains, one of the main activities of which was usury.

As a great scientist said, compound interest rates are the most powerful force in the entire universe. The vast majority of borrowers cannot afford interest and debt, and the result that awaits them is slavery.

Paying off debts, paying off fathers and sons, and then selling themselves into slavery is a matter of course in this era of Dayu.

Natu was one such person, he was originally a scholar in the Lianghuai region, but later became a slave because of debts and moved all the way to the grasslands in the north.

And under the gathering of karma, I met the light of victory.

Some time ago, Guangming Sheng always chatted with Natu, which aroused the alarm of nobles such as the concubine Jing Miaoxiang, and in any case, it was always a violation of tradition for the Great Khan to be so close to a slave.

Guangsheng was silent for a moment.

Natu was no longer young, and a slave of his age was put into the heavy manual work. His young and beautiful mother probably wanted to teach herself a lesson.

The young Uighur Khan bowed his head.

He remembered his prodigious elder brother Duli, and the skilled and resourceful prime minister, Yasuri, who should now take a considerable number of their people to the Western Regions, where they might be able to find a new way for the entire Uighur tribe to survive.

For a moment, Guangming Sheng lost any interest, and the bright white armor of the Pure World Warriors around him made the Uighur Khan feel a little dazzling, and the night seemed to be too deep, and the cold was too wet.

"Let's go, let's go back, I'm a little tired. ”

The young Bright Sheng sighed and gave a new order.

Bodhisattva Bao nodded, pulling the reins aside, and he looked at the young Uighur Khan with a sad expression.

The ruler of the steppe should probably be a wolf, ruthless, insidious, greedy and cunning.

It can also be a bull, strong, hot-tempered, full of strength and anger.

But he should not be a contemplative philosopher, because the hungry wolves and angry oxen who are around him will not give people with a high level of intelligence space and time to think.

The eldest concubine Jing Miaoxiang has proven that she is a cunning she-wolf, while Tsuri and Yakushura are the perfect combination of a raging bull and a sinister old wolf.

Can the Khan he guards prove that he is a worthy ruler of the steppe, leading the revival of the tribe that is about to decline?

The Bodhisattva had no answer.

Although the name means bodhisattva protection, it was given to the parents who believed in the Buddha back then, and the bodhisattva Bao followed the Mani path from an early age.

When the old Khan died, the Bodhisattva Bao led the brothers of Jingshi Mingyan to rush forward, and fought to the death against those demon sons and grandsons of the Moli Zhitian, and finally won the Khan position for Guangsheng.

In the dead of night, Bodhisattva Bao will also remember that the two factions of Duli and Guangsheng did not give in to each other, and pressed forward step by step, which eventually caused a civil war.

He also wondered if the current situation would have been different if one of them had taken a few steps back, and would the Uighur Khanate still be able to stand proudly at the foot of the Udeji Mountains in Mobei?

Returning to the tent, he summoned the dozing slave girl and ordered her to be careful with the ink.

On the paved rice paper, the young Uighur Khan took a brush dipped in ink and put a snake on the paper.

"The nephew surnamed Jiu, the Uighur Khan, is bright, and worships the uncle of the Han family. ”

After writing this line, Guangmingsheng's brows tightened for another three points, and he paused for a moment before starting to write.

Soon a letter was quickly written.

The Uighur Khan picked up the letter and carefully dried it, then rolled it up and placed it in a small wooden cylinder.

After all this was done, Bright Katsu summoned the captain of his guard, the Bodhisattva.

"Give this letter to Dakhedun for sealing. ”

The Uighur Khan's golden seal was snatched by Balutosa from Yakushura, and left in the court of the Khan, where it was kept by the concubine Jing Miaoxiang.

The so-called "Kedun" is the unique title of the lady corresponding to the Khan, and it is preceded by a variety of auspicious words composed of honorific titles, which is also the meaning of the concubine.

Now there is only one person in the Khan's court who can afford the title of Great Kedun, and that is the young wife of the Khan, the mother of Guangsheng, Jing Miaoxiang.

"This is a letter I wrote to Emperor Dayu, please send a messenger to Hedong after I ask my mother to read it. ”

Brighter than looking anxiously to the south,

"I also hope that my mother can restrain the people, we don't have the strength to fight against Dayu now. ”
