On the banks of the Jin River, which was later known as the Dahei River, tents were scattered on the grassland beside the river. Groups of cattle and sheep were grazing on the grass leisurely nearby. It looked like a large grassland tribe.
Stop here.
The surrounding tents tightly protected the largest and most gorgeous tent in the middle.
No need to ask, the Turks have been here for two days.
The Turks are still the same. The tents around the big tent are much smaller, and they are inhabited by the followers who protect the Khan.
Further out, there are tents for the Khan's servants.
Further outside, there are the tents of the nobles of the Turkic royal court. They are like tributaries of the Turkic Khans. Each one has its own team and flock. With their tents as the center, another similar structure is formed.
The layout of the sweat tents, while faintly surrounding the sweat tents.
The herding slaves lived on the outside, and more than 7,000 royal knights tightly surrounded the adults of the Turkic royal court in the middle.
It can be said that the hierarchy is strict, and anyone who breaks the rules will be killed on the spot.
…………
At this time, it was getting late, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the camp, and the aroma of barbecue spread over the grassland. The Turks took out the milk wine on their horses and prepared to eat.
In the sweat tent, the Turkic Khan Ashina Yanghuan was sitting on the ground. Several Turkic officials and Golida officers came one after another. After saluting the Khan, they all sat down.
They didn't speak much. Ever since Zhao Deyan came to Khan's side, there were more rules in the royal court.
This man was a "southern man". He served as an official in the south and after joining the Turks, he quickly gained the favor of the Khan. He was named Ponnire Khan. Translated in Chinese, it means to set rules and make people abide by them.
officials.
Similar to the censor in the Tang court, he was responsible for supervising the behavior of officials, determining shifts, etc.
This man was a staunch supporter of centralization and advocated the establishment of a series of rules and etiquette to strengthen the power of the Turkic royal court and the khan.
Ashina Yang Huan was Princess Yicheng of the former Sui Dynasty, and she was a woman. Naturally, she was very interested in Zhao Deyan's proposal. The purpose of re-employing Zhao Deyan and others over the years was actually to let the Turkic nobles know the word "reverence".
For example, if we put it now more than ten years ago, when the Khan was here, well, it doesn't have to be that far, that is, seven or eight years ago, the Turkic nobles came to meet the Khan. What did many people say about that guy?
What, shouting and drinking is no different from being in your own tent.
When you drink too much, you might even take out a knife to show off with someone. From time to time, some tragedies will happen that seem to have very ridiculous causes.
Since Zhao Deyan came to the Turkic Royal Court, this kind of thing has become less and less rare in the past few years.
The nobles were naturally very dissatisfied. They did not dare to compete with the increasingly majestic Khan, so they regarded Zhao Deyan and others as the culprits. Zhao Deyan had been assassinated several times in recent years.
In addition, whenever the Turkic tribes held an alliance meeting, the nobles would come up with various tricks to cause trouble for him. Several brave men he had attracted were killed in the name of challenging them at the alliance meeting.
In fact, it was a very naive idea for Zhao Deyan to change the nomadic people like the Turks according to the Central Plains Dynasty.
What is very dangerous is that he also wants to change the customs and habits of the Turks and let them know etiquette, justice and integrity. In addition, he also wants to formulate tax laws and levy fixed taxes from various grassland tribes like the Central Plains Dynasty.
This is undoubtedly poking the Turks in the butt and will arouse countless resentments.
The Turks have always been a loose tribal alliance system. The Turkic Khan is the leader of each tribe. Although he has great power on the grasslands, his control over the tribes can never reach the level of the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty.
This is determined by the nature of the Turkic nomads, so the administrative structure of the Turks and the rules they follow tend to be simple. It is precisely because of simplicity that it is easy to implement, and everyone can accept this level of management.
But if you want to make it more complicated, many people won't want to do it.
This is actually just like those humanoid creatures in the west who always wanted to promote their so-called universal values. You make something that has been used for hundreds of years, and then tell others that it is advanced. You must act in this way to be considered
civilized country.
As a result, a series of chaos ensued, and everyone who imitated the situation suffered a bitter taste. There was not even a relatively successful example for reference.
Later, those humanoid creatures thought that this seemed good. Only in chaos can they benefit. If you succeed, how can I steal things from you?
So they built crooked buildings. If at the beginning, the humanoids were still somewhat sincere and wanted to promote their political system to other countries, then later on, they deliberately created chaos. Every time
After things got worse, they still acted as referees. Would you say it is hateful or not?
Zhao Deyan didn't have that much power, but he still wanted to accomplish great things, so he acted forcefully, and the consequences were almost predictable.
Let’s find out who Chao Cuo is...
…………
"Where's Zhao Deyan? Why don't you come over?"
Ashina Yang Huan didn't look energetic. She was already quite old this year. The road from Wangting to Yulin was not that short. After driving all the way there, she felt even more tired than last time.
The only difference from three years ago is that she has already surrendered most of the nobles in the royal court. The Turkic national strength has recuperated. Although it is still not as good as before the southern expedition of Shibi Khan, the pain that Shegui Khan of the Western Turks has brought to all the Turkic royal courts
, has been calmed down.
If Ashina Duowen can serve her honestly, the Turks will be more powerful than they are now.
Especially in the past two years, the wind and snow on the grassland have not been so heavy, the climate has been warm, and there has been a lot of rain. Everyone has been doing well.
In the words of the Turks themselves, Khan is extremely kind and generous, and is a person blessed by the gods. Her name is sung on the grasslands.
To describe it in the words of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Yang Huan finally stabilized his position of power and was recognized by most Turkic tribes.
If she were a man, this day would have arrived much earlier, but she is a woman, and she always gets half the result with half the effort. She has put in countless efforts to get to where she is today.
After uniting with the Tang Dynasty, she gained a precious period of peace, which allowed her to stabilize her internal affairs and punish the rebels quietly. During her rule of the Turks, she basically eliminated the old enemies in the north. Now she has freed up her hands to unify the country.
The great cause of the Turks launched an impact.
There is no doubt that this is a wise monarch, the most outstanding woman in the world...
