Tang's dining table

Yun Chu always believed that the behavior of the Tang Dynasty people in the Western Regions should be organized, disciplined and purposeful.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

I don’t know what the situation is like in the Beiting Protectorate under Xue Rengui. Judging from the Anxi Protectorate under Pei Xingjian, everyone seems to be relatively casual when dealing with matters in the Western Regions.

The emperor's instructions are indeed being implemented accurately. However, the emperor's decrees are all big policies. Once local officials in the Western Regions are required to carry out detailed and gentle governance by small means, they always appear to be very rough.

This is something that can't be helped. In the Western Regions, the power of military generals is far greater than that of civilian officials. In addition, the binding force is very small, so the crude tactics of military generals seeking speed are rampant in the Western Regions.

The Uighur King was killed, and a large number of officials and nobles in the Uighur tribe were purged. However, Pei Xingjian randomly found a child to serve as the Uighur King. He was overbearing enough, but it also left the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the Uighur people.

Not all living Uighur officials know about the collusion between the Uighur King and the Tubo people. Therefore, how those people in the Uighur King's court died cannot be concealed.

Fortunately, Pei Xingjian was strong enough at this time, and the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty was also strong enough to deter the Huihe people from making rash moves. However, this kind of suppression could only have a temporary effect. Once the Tang people's power in the Western Regions was weakened, Yun I initially believed that the Uighurs were the first to rebel.

The Uighur people have nine surnames in total, namely - Yaogeluo, Huduge, Duluowu, Qiangexiwei, Awudi, Gesa, Dendrobium, Yaowuge and Xiyewu, a total of nine tribes.

Among them, Yaogeluo is the most powerful, and the Khans of Uighur have always been people with this surname.

This time, Pei Xingjian seriously weakened Yaogeluo, the largest tribe, which gave the other eight tribes the possibility of coveting the position of Khan.

If a hero emerges from the other eight surname tribes during this period, the trend of the Huihe tribe will immediately change.

The Uighur people worship heroes very much. Even Selema hopes that his Tang son will become a hero in the tribe and eventually become the king of the Uighur people, not to mention other tribes with eight surnames.

Yunchu told Pei Xingjian his worries, and Pei Xingjian said with a sullen face: "Then let's weaken them together."

Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Are you going to use Lun Qinling's power to weaken the tribe with eight surnames in Huihe?"

Pei Xingjian said: "This is what was planned. A strong and unified Uighur tribe is not good for the Tang Dynasty. Divide and rule is the best way."

When Pei Xingjian said this, Yunchu had nothing to say. If he wanted to keep the Yaogeluo tribe strong, it would be okay to weaken the other eight tribes.

"Do you have any idea to change the name of the Huihe tribe?" Yunchu once again made suggestions to Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian threw a piece of cake to the newly elected King of Huihe and said, "Change the name?"

"Yes, change the name. As long as the name is changed, the new tribe will forget the original tribal hatred."

"What's the use of this?"

"Don't worry, I grew up among the Huihe people, and I understand very well what these people are thinking. Many of them don't even know who their fathers are, let alone their grandfathers.

If they are given a satisfactory new name, they will soon forget about the previous Uihe tribe. As long as three to five years have passed, the Uihe tribe will be a very distant memory for them. "

Pei Xingjian frowned and said, "What name should I choose?"

Yunchu said without thinking: "Uighur means turning as swiftly as a falcon. In fact, the reason why Uighur knights like to make all kinds of strange movements on their horses is that they would rather be stabbed when fighting the enemy. He immediately circled randomly, just to show off his agility and bravery.

Therefore, they will definitely like the name Uighur.

At that time, you invite people with the nine surnames of Uighur to hold a horse racing meeting on the grassland, and compete with the warriors. Whoever performs the best moves on the galloping horse will be the hero of the Uighur tribe.

By then, as long as the prizes are made more generous, I can guarantee you that the warriors in the Uighur tribe will be busy practicing how to circle and gallop on their horses, and will definitely forget that you just killed several kings. "

Pei Xingjian's eyes widened and he said, "You can't be that stupid, can you?"

Yunchu sighed and said: "My adoptive mother, an ordinary female shepherd, can persuade eight thousand Sai people to attach themselves to Naha with just one mouth. Do you still think that my method is not a good one?"

Pei Xingjian shook his head with a smile on his face and said, "I don't dare to underestimate a woman who can cultivate a person like you."

Yun Chu thought for a moment, then said in a different way: "Changing the name is actually just a long-term consideration. If you want good results right now, you can set up a stage in the Uighur King's Court.

Imitate the battle cage selection of the Stone Kingdom, but don't make it so bloody. Just select heroes from the nine Uighur surnames. When necessary, you can relax the selection conditions for heroes.

In short, you must gather the bravest group of Uighurs together to form the tenth tribe, and give this tribe better treatment than the other nine tribes. It is best that these good treatment can only be given by us Tang people. , so that you can firmly control them.

Just use this new tribe to intimidate the other tribes with nine surnames. If something happens in the future, just send this new tribe to take action. We Tang people are not involved in cause and effect, nor are we involved in sin. It won't make people hate you either. "

Pei Xingjian looked at Yunchu and said, "When I asked you for advice before, you never said a word. Why did you take the initiative to give me advice today?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "Take good care of Naha's subordinates."

Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "Deal."

Yun Chu stood up and sighed: "As long as I come to the Western Regions, I will miss Mr. Pei Ju of the past. It's a pity that such a brilliant and wise man has no successor. It is really a pity to say that."

Pei Xingjian also said with emotion: "Ancestor Pei Ju was born in I Wenxi Pei's west dependent house, and a certain family was born in Wenxi Pei's middle dependent house. The Pei family's talent has withered, and a certain family is also very sorry."

When Yunchu saw that Pei Xingjian had flattered him, he sighed for a while and left Pei Xingjian's room.

After returning to the room, seeing Wen Wen and Zhong Kui waiting for news, he smiled and said, "Pei Xingjian has already acquiesced to Naha's recruitment of the Sai people. Even if the censor Yanguan impeaches him, it will only be done with the consent of Pei Xingjian, the governor of Anxi.

I think Pei Xingjian will give a good explanation to those noisy censors.

Unlike us, there are too many obstacles to explain this matter. "

Wen Wen was still very sure of Yun Chu's ability to do things. Then she no longer worried about the trouble caused by Selema. She counted the days and found that the flattering letter she and Yun Chu sent in Gaochangsai should have arrived in Chang'an by now. .

Originally, the two of them did not want to do such a dirty thing, but as officials, they were too far away from the political center of Chang'an at this time. If they could not let the emperor know about their existence, it would be extremely detrimental to their future promotions.

There was a heavy snowstorm in Chang'an City last night. After a layer of white snow hung on the gray Wild Goose Pagoda in winter, it looked very charming and charming. It changed from a very yang and strong tower to a feminine and fat man.

After the bell tower in Chang'an rang the morning bell, the pigeons perched on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda were frightened and flew away. A series of long pigeon whistles then stood buzzing and hovering over Jinchangfang.

When the gates of Chang'an were opened, the first people to enter were the envoys who had been waiting outside the city all night.

Either by car, horseback or on foot, they hurriedly delivered news from all over the country to the center of Datang.

When the envoys stepped onto the clean Zhuque Street where the snow had been swept away, a red sun also rose from the due east. The sunshine spread all over Chang'an City, making the entire city covered in silver look like a fairyland on earth.

However, this beautiful scenery did not last long. First, there was thick smoke rising from Jinchangfang. It was the large stove used to cook meat in the Jinchangfang cafeteria. There were twenty-six such large stoves in Jinchangfang. , only in this way can we provide more meat for the people of Chang'an before the new year.

Just when the chimney of the Jinchangfang cafeteria began to smoke, the same black smoke began to emit from the chimneys of various households in Chang'anfang City.

Nowadays, the people in Chang'an City no longer like to use charcoal or wood for heating. The new stoves in Jinchangfang that are suitable for people's home heating and burning coal have become popular. Therefore, the beautiful sky in Chang'an City will not last long and will become gray. It was misty, and from time to time there would be soot falling.

Every household smoked from cooking, which in Li Zhi's opinion was a sign of prosperity. It was because the people began to eat three times a day, and this was such a grand event early in the morning.

As for the topic of pollution, it has not yet formed in the minds of Tang people.

The snow last night was so heavy that it broke many of the bamboos in the palace. When Li Zhi was walking the bear in the early morning, he discovered that there were two clumps of bamboo on the south wall that the giant bears loved to eat. They were broken by the heavy snow last night. This made Li Zhi feel uncomfortable. He wasn't in such a good mood.

Therefore, when eating the morning meal, Li Zhi gave the giant bear an extra plate of honey cakes.

Reading the news from Baiqisi every day was the beginning of his day. There were only a few words on the piece of paper placed at the top, and he wrote - Nothing happened all night!

Li Zhi casually threw the piece of paper into the brazier and watched the paper being engulfed by the flames before picking up the second one.

There are very few words on this one. It says - I watched the snow in the study and had no sleep all night.

A smile appeared on Li Zhi's face, and then he threw the piece of paper into the brazier and watched it burn to ashes.

His eyes were on the pile of documents again. Suddenly, he saw a document with a green label. His eyes lit up. He pulled out the document from the bottom. After opening it in a hurry, he first looked at the top of the document. , it says: Brother Zhengze is well, my brother is in Gaochangsai...

Li Zhi frowned and asked in confusion: "What kind of letter did this two hundred and fifty write to Liu Rengui?"

Immediately, he took off his shoes, stuffed his feet into the thick and warm fur of the giant bear, changed into a comfortable position, and prepared to take a good look at the thick letter written by Yun Chu to Liu Rengui.

After watching for a moment, Li Zhi sniffed, and then shouted into the void of the hall: "Bring me a jug of wine."

See you tomorrow
