Datang: My apprentice is Li Chengqian

Chapter 142 Traitor or Spy

"Xiedao, you are reckless this time!"

Qin Qiong rarely went home for dinner.

Although Qin Huaidao, who was more than two years old, was making noise, the atmosphere at home was very good.

Qin Qiong endured it for a long time, and only after everyone had finished eating did he speak to Qin Xiedao about the business.

Qin Qiong is a general, so he doesn't have so many taboos in doing things, and he doesn't go to the study to discuss things every now and then.

"Aye, are you talking about the march of the army tomorrow?"

Qin Xiedao asked indifferently.

"That's right! Luo Yi rebelled, His Majesty was very furious, that's why he arranged for Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde to lead troops to put down the rebellion, but you said without evidence that they would return without success.

Although people who know the exact words, understand that you don't think they will lose the battle.

But for those who don't understand the cause and effect, they think you are not optimistic about this expedition. "

Qin Qiong has always been more cautious.

Even if Li Shimin is very popular now, he is very low-key.

He knew that when he was at the Xuanwu Gate, he chose to watch it.

Who knows that one day this thorn in Li Shimin's heart will pop up again?
"I just said something that I think is true. Whether it makes sense or not, I will know soon."

Qin Xiedao felt that no matter how this matter was explained, no one could be completely convinced.

So I don't want to explain too much.

"Shu Bao, Xie Dao taught Huai Dao a new method of literacy a while ago, and now Huai Dao can already recognize dozens of characters. Even Lu Ye and Ying Er learned a lot from the side. What about words?"

Seeing that the conversation between Qin Qiong and his son seemed a little off, Mrs. Zhang immediately changed the subject.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang's words, Qin Qiong's attention was attracted.

"Huidao is only two years old. Is it too early to teach him how to read? He can't learn at all."

"Under normal circumstances, what you said is not wrong. But the situation is a bit different now, Luye, go and get the books Huaidao uses for literacy, and let the master see some."

Slowly, the atmosphere in the room began to turn to a warm family style.

……

While in Chang'an City, people were discussing about Luo Yi's rebellion and the army led by Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde's expedition, in the north of Tang Dynasty, the East Turkic country was actually not peaceful.

Last winter was a cold winter, which not only brought many troubles to Datang.

However, thanks to the appearance of briquettes, the people of Chang'an City survived this winter at least.

But for the East Turkic herdsmen, this winter will be difficult.

A large number of cattle and sheep were directly frozen to death because it was too cold.

In the case of heavy losses, even if East Turkistan got a lot of benefits from Datang last year, it was useless.

Because most of these properties have entered the private pockets of the high-level East Turkic leaders such as Jieli Khan and Tuli Little Khan.

Few people are willing to use their own tribe's money for disaster relief.

At this time, the stage came for Zhao Deyan, a Han Chinese who was deeply trusted by Jieli Khan.

Although the national power of the Eastern Turks is very strong, Jieli Khan also knows that there is a very big difference and gap between the Hu dynasty and the Central Plains dynasty.

If you want the Eastern Turks to keep Datang firmly under you, then you must make a lot of changes.

Zhao Deyan's proposal was completely in line with Jieli Khan's idea.

So soon, Zhao Deyan was appointed as the national teacher by Jieli Khan, which can be said to be in his hands.

On the grassland, there was an upsurge of reform immediately.

"Khan, our original customs are not enough to support the continued development of Eastern Turks, so this time I propose to completely copy the system of the Central Plains dynasty.

As long as it operates stably for a few years, our East Turkistan will definitely be able to restore its former glory. "

As a scholar, since Zhao Deyan chose to seek refuge with East Turkic, he naturally hoped to make good use of his abilities.

So if you want to have a stage to display your own abilities, you must naturally promote Turkic to make a series of reforms.

Jieli Khan, who had already felt a lot of pressure, quickly agreed to Zhao Deyan's proposal.

All of a sudden, various changes ushered in the grassland.

Many herdsmen dare not speak out.

"National Teacher, the weapons used by the Tang people are often sharper than ours. Can we, East Turks, also build our own iron-making workshops?"

For Xieli, what he values ​​most is military power.

Whether the sword is sharp and whether the arrows are sufficient are naturally very important factors.

"Khan, it is certainly possible to build an iron-making workshop, but this is not the most urgent thing. We will first set up a general supervisor, and then promise high-ranking officials and rich salary, which will naturally attract craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty to serve us.

In addition, we should let officials from the three provinces and six ministries take office as soon as possible, and at the same time attract more Tang scholars to serve Khan. "

For Zhao Deyan, he defected to East Turkic, not only to realize his personal dream, but also to avenge Datang.

He was very unsatisfactory in Datang, and even encountered danger to his life.

Therefore, both public and private, he hopes to establish a new political structure for East Turkistan as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Deyan's every move was originally to make East Turkic stronger, so as to realize his own wish.

The result was the beginning of new turmoil and decline for the East Turks.

If Qin Xiedao knew about Zhao Deyan's actions on the East Turkic side, he would probably think that he was a spy arranged by Li Shimin.

Tossing the East Turks like this is not helping Datang, what is it doing?
A barbarian is a barbarian.

Grasslands have the particularity of grasslands.

It is naturally inappropriate to apply Datang's political system to the prairie mechanically.

Especially the tax collection system, according to Zhao Deyan's plan, many herdsmen will start paying taxes to the tribe, which will kill them.

"Well, for the introduction of scholars from the Tang Dynasty, Ben Khan entrusted all the national teachers. However, due to the cold weather this winter, many herdsmen are having a hard time. The national teacher needs to find some ways to alleviate this situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will inevitably be All kinds of things popped up."

It's not that Xieli is completely ignorant of the situation on the prairie.

It's just that the degree of attention is not enough.

In his opinion, the current pain and trouble are labor pains.

Once the implementation of the reforms in East Turkistan is completed, it will be the time for the rebirth of the Phoenix Nirvana.

The next time I go south to the Central Plains, I won't simply go for a stroll outside Chang'an City.

"No problem, I will definitely satisfy Khan!"

Zhao Deyan showed a smile that met social expectations.

This made Jieli Khan feel more relaxed.
