Li Zexuan did not expect that the teachers and students of the academy would

encounter such a big crisis in Taiyuan City. He expected that the Turkic

people would stand up after learning the purpose of the academy's people to go

north, but according to his prediction, the Turkic people are most likely to

be in Yunzhou, after all, is located on the border of Datang, and the emperor

is far away, but he never expected that the Turks would directly throw the

"king bomb" in Taiyuan City. Shouldn't they first try to test the reality and

reality in Taiyuan City? Do you want to launch another "Lore" in Yunzhou?

This series of actions by the Turkic spies was unreasonable, but it was

precisely because of this that they caught everyone by surprise!

However, Li Zexuan did not expect that his old man would intercept the secret

letter of the Turkic spy in a crooked manner. This is too critical. If it were

not for this crooked act, the situation of the teachers and students of the

college would only be more passive, and even they would even face themselves.

No one knows the right enemy, let alone deal with it!

Of course, what Li Zexuan didn't expect most was that the leader of Turkic

spies was actually Zhao Deyan!

Although he was not familiar with history in his previous life, he still heard

about Zhao Deyan! This guy is the number one traitor in the Tang Dynasty!

However, compared with other traitors in history, Zhao Deyan, the big traitor,

did not leave much infamy in the history books. On the contrary, many people

in the Central Plains even have a good impression of him. The main reason is

that Zhao Deyan, the big traitor, was not Not "qualified", if you count his

deeds in the Turks, not only did he fail to help the Turks, he even helped

Datang to some extent!

The TV series "The Reign of Zhen Guan" is very interesting about Jie Li's

description of Zhao Deyan. Zhao Deyan turned out to be the governor of the

Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin discovered that he was good at flattering and had no

real ability to learn, so he decided to let him harm the Turks.

Li Shimin first removed Zhao Deyan from the position of governor, and then

asked Zhao Deyan to accompany the Tang delegation as an envoy to Turks. After

Zhao Deyan arrived in Turks, he slid his beard and beat a horse, making Jieli

Khan feel very useful, so he decided to reuse Zhao Deyan. In order for Zhao

Deyan to serve Jieli wholeheartedly, Li Shimin sent Zhao Deyan's family to

Turks.

The official history is limited by space, and there is no record of how Jie Li

Khan got Zhao Deyan. "Zi Zhi Tong Jian Volume 192" only records that "Jie Li

Khan was awarded the Chinese Zhao Deyan and appointed it."

The East Turks maintained an absolute advantage over almost any force in the

late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. In 615 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui, who still

regarded himself as the emperor of the ages, traveled north to Yanmen. The

Turkic cavalry, who received the news, took the opportunity to march south.

They have broken through all the way, conquering most of the area near Yanmen.

Sui Yang Emperor was in a panic, hiding in Yanmen County for a while. The

Turkic army immediately blocked the city and launched a siege. In the fierce

battle, the arrows of the Turkic people once shot to Sui Yang Emperor. Sui

Yang, who was invincible on weekdays, was scared to tears after facing the

pressure of the battlefield with real swords and guns. As the Turkic offensive

intensified, Yang Guang, who was terrified, cried until his eyes were swollen.

After this war, the prestige of the East Turkic Khanate became stronger and

became the overlord of the grasslands of Northeast Asia at that time. At their

peak, they expanded their territory to the vast area between the Khitan and

Shiwei tribes in the east and Tuyuhun and Gaochang in the west. The chiefs of

the tribes and the monarchs of the small countries all surrendered to the East

Turkic Khan.

After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the East Turks became even more popular.

At that time, the warlords in the northern part of the Central Plains more or

less had transactions with the East Turkic Khanate. It also includes the Tang

Gaozu Li Yuan who was based in Shanxi. He even did not hesitate to proclaim

his ministers to the Turks, so that when he attacked Chang'an, he borrowed

five hundred Turkic cavalry. Through this method of pretending to be

invincible, put great pressure on the opponent.

The East Turkic forces are becoming stronger and stronger, and even seeing the

capital that threatens the Tang Dynasty and aspirations to the Central Plains,

but for the Khan Jieli of the East Turks, there is always a heart disease, he

longs for the supreme power of Li Yuan and Li Er!

When the Turkic forces started, the mode of rule was quite simple. Other

nobles under the Khan also have considerable power. In their respective

tribes, they retained their original customary laws without interference from

the Khan. The privilege of life and death possessed by the emperor of the

Central Plains in the country was just a longing for the Turkic Khan.

Therefore, Jie Li Khan appointed Zhao Deyan, a Han Chinese who had fled to the

grassland, to carry out drastic political reforms for him. Jie Li hopes to

strengthen his power and completely unify the tribes that have autonomy

rights.

Zhao Deyan, who was appointed, also fulfilled his mission. He moved the

Central Plains dynasty's methods of ruling the world to the grassland intact.

As a result, the Khan carried out a compulsory "sinicization reform" for the

Turks.

At that time, the Central Plains Dynasty had a very advanced national

management system. For example, three provinces and six departments, two-level

administrative system of state and county, and so on. This system is indeed

much more advanced than the Turkic administrative system.

The crux of the problem is that this advanced system is suitable for farming-

based China, but not suitable for nomadic Turks. It is like a strict personnel

system, suitable for large companies, but not suitable for some small private

enterprises. The Great Khan Jieli didn't understand this truth, so Zhao Deyan

had full power to promote the reform of the Turkic administration.

But the Turkic tribes have long been accustomed to simple, rude and effective

administrative methods. They had a great resistance to Zhao Deyan's reforms.

In order to promote the smooth progress of the reform, Zhao Deyan used the

power given by the Jieli Great Khan to suppress the Turkic tribes who opposed

the reform. Zhao Deyan's reforms were pushed forward amidst numerous

resistances, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Turkic people with the

Jieli Khan.

This incident is recorded in the "Zizhi Tongjian Volume 192". The original

text is "German language focuses on its prestige, and often changes the old

customs. The government orders are annoying and the Chinese people are not

happy."

Zhao Deyan copied China's administrative methods and complicated simple

issues, causing the major tribes of the Turkic to complain about the Jieli

Khan. With Zhao Deyan's help, many Turks are unwilling to work for the Jieli

Great Khan. Tribes with conditions and opportunities have begun to find ways

to escape Jieli's control, and some even went directly to the Tang Dynasty,

for example. A few months ago, the leader of the Khitan tribe led the tribe to

defect to Datang. A large part of the reason was that Jie Li had begun to

renounce his virtue on the grassland!

Therefore, to some extent, although Zhao Deyan is a big traitor, he is a "big

traitor" who has made great contributions to Li Er!

The rolling wheels of history did not change the direction of advancement

because of Li Zexuan's accidental crossing, but because of Li Zexuan's

"butterfly wings", some variables appeared out of thin air!

For example, without him, there would be no Yanhuang Academy, no teachers and

students of the current academy going north to build a telegraph relay

station, and there would be no Turkic spies lying in Taiyuan and capturing Li

Tai!

Of course, without him, Han Lizheng would not have gone to Yifang County, and

naturally would not accidentally intercept the superstition Zhao Deyan passed

on to Jie Li!

However, the most unexpected variable for Li Zexuan is that according to

official history, Zhao Deyan should help Jieli carry out the "Sinicization

reform" on the grassland at this moment. How could he appear in Taiyuan? And

with a bunch of Turkic spies? If the "Minister of Reform" does not do a good

job, why does this guy become the leader of the "secret"?

"Didididi~!"

The ticking sound of the telegraph machine continued to ring, UU reading

www.uukanshu.com Li Zexuan hurriedly withdrew his thoughts and continued to

listen to the telegram sent by Tiedan.

In this last part of the telegram, Tiedan is asking him for advice on how to

rescue Tiedan!

"Master, when Qingque was captured, let me find you. He said you must have a

way to save him, and he asked Master for advice! Even if you go through fires

and waters, I will definitely rescue Qingque!"

Seeing Tiedan’s last words, Li Zexuan couldn’t help being silent. Li Zexuan

couldn’t help being a little touched by Li Tai’s unreserved trust in him at a

critical moment, but the firm tone of Tiedan’s words made him He felt tight.

Obviously, Tiedan attributed most of the responsibility for Li Tai's arrest to

himself. In order to rescue Li Tai, he seemed to be completely disregarded for

his own safety!

Li Zexuan didn't want Li Tai to have an accident, but he didn't want it to

happen to the iron egg. One of the two children was one of his most proud

students, who won most of his true biography, and the other was his direct

disciple, plus his brother-in-law. It was difficult for him to accept any

accident. After taking a deep breath, Li Zexuan manipulated the telegraph and

gave Tiedan a reply.

"What happened tonight was anticipated by the teacher. You should take a rest

first. Don't act rashly. The rescue has been arranged for the teacher. There

will be nothing wrong with Qingque~!"
