Chapter 433 The Turkic National Teacher

In the study, Li Xiu placed his right hand on the table and tapped gently, and his eyes looked at the middle-aged man in front of him from time to time. This middle-aged man was the "crazy man" he had before. However, compared to before, he had washed clean now, his gray hair was simply combed into a bun, revealing a face full of vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were bright and energetic, revealing a sense of perseverance.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong~" No one in the room said nothing, only the sound of Li Xiu's fingers and the table pounding seemed empty and somewhat oppressive. After a while, Li Xiu stopped and said, "You really call me Zhao Deyan?"

"Yes, Zhao has been using this name for most of his life. Does the prince-consort know another Zhao Deyan?" The middle-aged man said, pulling his lips. He really couldn't understand why this famous prince-consort was so interested in his name. When he just revealed his identity, the other party asked him three times, but he didn't expect that he asked again now.

"This..." Li Xiu didn't know how to answer at this time because he knew what the name Zhao Deyan meant.

Perhaps to many people, the name Zhao Deyan seems unfamiliar, but coincidentally, when Li Xiu was in school, he liked a martial arts novel, that is Huang Yi's "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". He also remembers the characters in it very clearly, and most of these characters are real in history, such as Li Shimin, Du Fuwei, Yang Guang, etc.

The name Zhao Deyan also appeared in the Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, and his identity in the book was the Turkic National Master. In real history, although he was not the Turkic National Master, he was almost the same. In fact, although Zhao Deyan was a Han man, he was deeply trusted by Jie Li Khan. It was Zhao Deyan, a Han man, who allowed Li Shimin to find an opportunity to destroy the Turkic in one fell swoop.

The Turks were different from the Tang Dynasty. In fact, as a grassland empire, the rule within the Turks was actually quite scattered. For example, the Turks were divided into ten units, and each unit was equivalent to a vassal state. Although the Great Khan had one or several vassal states, the other vassal states had great independence and might even not obey the orders of the Great Khan. For example, Jie Li's nephew Tuli was the best example.

The reason why Zhao Deyan was able to create opportunities for Li Shimin to destroy the Turks was that he did not know whether he intentionally or unintentionally persuaded Jie Li to learn from the Tang Dynasty, wanting to build the Turks into a great empire with the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, which would naturally take away the power of the little Khan in the Turks.

Originally, if Jie Li could succeed, it would indeed have greatly increased the strength of the Turks. Unfortunately, he was not afraid of it. In the end, he not only failed, but also caused chaos within the Turks. Coupled with the influence of external and natural disasters, Li Shimin destroyed the Turks in one fell swoop, and Jie Li became a prisoner under the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of Zhao Deyan's "great achievements" in history, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little moved. Whether Zhao Deyan intentionally or unintentionally, he made indelible contributions to the Tang Dynasty's destruction of the Turks. But what he couldn't understand now was how could Zhao Deyan suddenly appear at his doorstep, and kneel down like a madman. It was not until he saw him that there was something that was related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty and had to discuss with him.

Originally, a beggar-like man actually came to Li Xiu to discuss something related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty. In other people's eyes, this beggar must be a lunatic, but Li Xiu did not dare to think so, because this person's name is Zhao Deyan. Judging from the original history, this person does have the strength to affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not expect that the other party would be so miserable now. If he came out a little later, Zhao Deyan might have to be killed by the scorching death outside.

"You just said that there is something that needs to be discussed with me about the fate of the Tang Dynasty. What is it?" Li Xiu pondered for a long time, and finally looked up at Zhao Deyan in front of him and said.

"Destroy the Turks!" Zhao Deyan spoke with a calm expression, but when he said the word "Turks", a huge anger ejaculated in his eyes.

"Sure enough." Li Xiu couldn't help but say in his heart when he saw this. He had vaguely guessed that Zhao Deyan's so-called major event should be related to the Turks, and now he finally confirmed his guess.

"Destroy the Turks? Even Your Majesty dares to say this sentence. You are just a commoner, what is the ability to say this?" Although Li Xiu knew that Zhao Deyan was powerful in history, he still asked with a stern face. After all, it is really difficult to convince others with just one sentence from the other party.

"Your Madam Zhao has no other skills, but he has read the books of sages since he was a child. Unfortunately, he was later captured by the Turks and struggled for more than ten years before he escaped. The whole family died on the grassland, and had an irreconcilable hatred with the Turks!"

When Zhao Deyan spoke at the end, the deep hatred on his face was almost no longer hidden. In front of him, he seemed to see his elderly parents being killed by cruel people, and his wife and children were slaves and servants. He also suffered humiliation and struggled to live on the grassland. He almost died countless times. Unfortunately, his family members died on the grassland one by one. After experiencing countless despair, he finally decided to survive. The only belief that supported him to survive was revenge!

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard Zhao Deyan's answer, and then fell silent. Although Zhao Deyan did not talk about the experience of their family's abducted family, he could also imagine that every time the Turkic people in the south were robbed of food, they were secondly plundering the population. After being caught on the grassland, these people became slaves directly, and their status was not as good as pigs and dogs. Every time he thought about these things, Li Xiu would feel an incomparable anger, let alone experience these tragic pains like Zhao Deyan.

"So that's it, but hatred cannot make you destroy the Turks. Sometimes hatred will even destroy you, let alone destroy the Turks!" Li Xiu said calmly again at this time. He wanted to see what Zhao Deyan has to do?

"The prince-consort said it right. Hate cannot help me avenge, but thanks to the Turks, they made me struggle on the grassland for more than ten years, which made me understand the situation in all aspects of the Turks. Moreover, the national strength of my Tang Dynasty is becoming increasingly stronger, especially when His Majesty defeated Jie Li last time, the power in the Turks was even more divided. Just someone would push me again, and the entire Turks might even fall down at any time!" Zhao Deyan suddenly looked up at Li Xiudao at this time, staring at Li Xiudao with bright eyes.

"Oh? Then how do you want to push this?" Li Xiu looked at Zhao Deyan with interest and asked. (To be continued.)
