When Li Yan entered the Beiting Protectorate, the first thing he did was to submit a letter to the imperial court, instructing the imperial court to appoint Cao Lingzhong as the Grand Protector of the Beiting Protectorate.
Cao Lingzhong, a veteran general who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, had been a retainer of the Beiting Protectorate for the past ten years, and everyone in the Protectorate was aggrieved by this.
It was not because Cao Lingzhong had no backers in the court that he was unable to become a regular official.
This time King Jianning's memorial suddenly made the Beiting Protectorate very fond of the young prince who was in charge of Longyou.
However, Cao Lingzhong was also a smart man. After he handed over the military register, seals and talismans of the Beiting Protectorate to Li Yan, he insisted on resigning from the position of the Beiting Protectorate and returning to his hometown.
Li Yan accepted the military seal, ribbon and command talisman, and continued to appease Cao Lingzhong, asking him to stay as the Protector of Beiting.
Li Yan talked with Cao Lingzhong again at night, and the next day the Beiting Protectorate made a major personnel adjustment.
All the related households in the Duhu Mansion who were originally serving as corpses were kicked out and replaced by these military strategists and players who had made meritorious deeds in the Golden Mountain.
Li Yan also carried out reforms in the Protectorate's Office and established the position of "staff officer" under the Protectorate. Yu Junjie served as the chief of staff of the Protectorate in Beiting, and the other players served as staff officers.
The staff officer is responsible for the daily training of the three armies in Beiting, and is responsible for formulating strategies during external operations.
King Jianning also handed over the promotion of officers in each army, daily performance assessment and other matters to the staff.
In addition to setting up a chief of staff in the Beiting Protectorate, the three armies in Beiting also set up staff departments and selected capable players to serve.
Naturally, Cao Lingzhong fully supported King Jianning's order. He issued an order in the name of Beiting Protectorate and ordered the three armies to support King Jianning's reforms.
Just when King Jianning was intensively taking control of the Beiting Protectorate, the news that Uighur Gele Khan failed in his western expedition, and that he had passed away after being relocated, quickly spread on the grassland.
Ominous clouds immediately enveloped the grassland. Gel Khan's succession to the throne was too hasty!
The heir of the Uighur Khan has always been Prince Yehu.
Prince Yehu has a bold personality and is proficient in archery, horse riding, and archery. He is an ideal heir to the throne of Khan.
In contrast, Prince Yijijian was weak and did not like riding horses and archery. Instead, he liked Han Chinese classics and articles, and he did not look like a grassland khan at all.
In Khan's Yazhang City, there were also many nobles who supported Prince Ye Hu and were very dissatisfied with Yi Dijian's succession to the throne.
Yi Dijian did not take any action against these objections, but allowed these nobles to join forces in Yazhang City. He guarded the body of his father Gel Khan every day.
Ten grassland wizards dance in front of Gel Khan's body every day, praying for Gel Khan's soul to ascend to the heaven of immortality.
Prince Yijijian, no, the current Mouyu Khan took the dagger handed over by the wizard seven days after his father Khan died.
He cut his face open with a dagger, dripped blood on the ground, knelt down and worshiped his father's body, and finally sprinkled his blood on his father's body.
This is a funeral ceremony on the grassland. The deceased will ascend to the heaven of immortality under the guidance of the blood of his descendants, and the soul of the deceased will continue to protect the family.
After completing a series of ceremonies, Mou Yu Khan completed the funeral ceremony of his father Khan, and the body of Gel Khan was buried in the mountain mausoleum. Mou Yu Khan also ordered the Uighur scholars to write down the achievements of Gel Khan.
A new forest of steles should be built near Yazhang City, and the achievements of Gel Khan will be forever written on the forest of steles, so that future generations will always know the achievements of Gel Khan.
The rituals of Mou Yu Khan's series of funerals were impeccable, and even the oldest wizard could not fault them.
After completing all these rituals, Mou Yu Khan called An Daxie to have a haircut.
The assistant minister was a Uighur position, equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and was a senior civil official who assisted Zuo Khan in handling government affairs.
It's just that in a tribal alliance country like the Uighurs, the status of civil servants is not high.
These Ada Xie haircuts were left by the father of Mou Yu Khan, an old Uighur man who was proficient in Chinese.
"I'm going to get a haircut. In accordance with the wishes of my father, I want to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty and become the Uyghur Ketun."
After saying this, all the ministers present looked at Mou Yu Khan in surprise.
As we all know, Mou Yu Khan has the blood of the Li Te tribe and is half the same race as An Lushan.
Therefore, Mou Yu Khan's attitude towards the Tang Dynasty has always been relatively tough.
Many nobles who supported Prince Ye Hu did not do so because of Prince Ye Hu's personal charm, but because of Prince Ye Hu's closeness to the Tang Dynasty.
The chiefs of these tribes close to the Tang Dynasty were afraid that the relationship between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty would be broken and their tribes would be damaged.
But after Mou Yu Khan expressed his request to marry the Tang princess, this part of the nobles stood behind Mou Yu Khan.
An Daxie bowed to Mou Yu Khan: "Great Khan, I will definitely bring you a beautiful and dignified Princess of the Tang Dynasty."
After saying this, Ida Xiefa immediately set off to Fengxiang Mansion, the temporary capital of the Tang Dynasty, to ask the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Next, Mou Yu Khan announced to the ministers: "I will build a new forest of steles for my father, and I need a new guardian to manage this forest of steles."
The page guard is the Uighur's position second only to the khan, and it is a position that can only be held by the leaders of large tribes after the royal family.
The leader of the three major forests of steles is naturally the page protector. Today, there are only three page protectors in the Uighur territory.
The news that Mou Yu Khan was going to set up a new Forest of Steles and promote a page guard once again caused waves.
Ever since Gel Khan retreated and returned to Yazhang City, Gel Khan has been holding the chiefs of each tribe captive, preventing them from returning to their own tribes.
The chiefs of these tribes have long expressed their dissatisfaction, and many chiefs of large tribes are ready to take action.
In the Battle of Jinshan, the army directly under the Uighur Court suffered heavy losses, and the heavy cavalry that Gel Khan spent his whole life building was almost completely lost.
That's how it is in the grassland. He who has strong soldiers and horses is the king. However, this time the losses of the major tribes in the grassland were not big, and the leaders of the major tribes gradually started to have new ideas.
But Mou Yu Khan's move made the leaders of these large tribes have other thoughts.
It seems good to be able to become the guardian of the new Forest of Steles.
The three major forests of steles are all located in areas with the most luxuriant water and grass. There is no need for migration and grazing here, and they can become the guardian tribe of the forest of steles, which is better than living a life of chasing grass.
Many tribal chiefs had second thoughts and stayed in Yazhang City with peace of mind.
At this time, Mou Yu Khan breathed a sigh of relief. According to the method left by his father, he finally stabilized the situation in Yazhang City.
However, Mou Yu Khan knew that his position as Khan was far from secure.
After he took the position of Khan, Mou Yu Khan finally understood what his father meant. For him, his brother Prince Yehu was the biggest threat.
This is not determined by the personal relationship between Ken Echi and Ye Hu.
But as long as Prince Yehu is still alive, the opposition in the Uighur country will have a banner, and they can gather under the banner of Prince Yehu to oppose Mouyu Khan's policies.
As long as this flag does not fall, Mou Yu Khan will never have peace.
But now Ye Hu is leading the elite to assist Datang in fighting, and Mou Yu Khan has nothing to do against him for the time being.
We can only wait until Prince Yehu returns to Uighur.
But now Mou Yu Khan has more important things to deal with, and that is his relationship with Long You.
Although Mou Yu Khan and Li Yan had a secret contract, their positions have now changed.
Khan Mou Yu is now the Khan of the Uighurs, but King Jianning is only the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
But King Jianning held Beiting and had just defeated the Uighur army. Mou Yu Khan had to deal with the relationship with Longyou.
Just when Mou Yu Khan was worrying about his relationship with Longyou, another subordinate came to inform him that the envoy from King Jianning had arrived.
Mou Yu Khan was surprised. He didn't expect King Jianning's envoy to come so soon. They had just defeated the Uighur army. The envoy was too courageous. Aren't he afraid that the Uighurs would chop off his head?
"Let the messenger come in."
I only saw an old acquaintance walking into Mou Yu Khan's tent.
Business blog?
Mou Yu Khan was surprised. King Jianning was the Uighur's largest partner and competitor. Mou Yu Khan also inquired about a lot of information about King Jianning's men.
As an adviser to King Jianning, Shang Bo was one of the most trusted confidants. Unexpectedly, King Jianning would send him to return to the Falcon at this time.
Mou Yu Khan snorted coldly and said: "Shang Bo, you are so brave. Aren't you afraid that I will ask you to bury my father Khan?"
After saying this, two Uighur warriors rushed in, one on the left and the other on the right, and captured Shang Bo.
Shang Bo was not panicked at all. He just looked at Mou Yu Khan with a smile. He waited until Mou Yu Khan felt guilty after being stared at by Shang Bo, and then he waved his hand and asked his men to exit the tent.
Shangbo said: "Khan, I came here for the sake of the friendship between Datang and the Uighurs! I brought good news to Khan!"
