"Jie Li is a man with great ambitions and talent. Although the Turks had been strong for a while, even our Central Plains dynasty could not match him, he was not satisfied. Instead, he wanted to establish a stronger Turk. This was one of the main reasons why he went south from time to time, because he wanted to annex the Central Plains and build a great empire across the Central Plains and grasslands!" Zhao Deyan did not rush to introduce his way to destroy the Turks, but instead talked about his research on Jie Li.

Speaking of which, Zhao Deyan was abducted by the Turks and struggled on the grassland for more than ten years. He was very familiar with the situation inside the Turks, especially he was a slave to a great Turkic nobleman and knew quite well about the upper class of the Turks. Among them, he was most concerned about Jie Li. It was precisely because of this that he dared to say that he wanted to destroy the Turks.

"Oh? I didn't expect that Jie Li had such ambitions?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this. Although he had no direct contact with Jie Li before, he had met on the battlefield. Through the other party's actions, he felt that the other party was not like the Khan of the Turks, but more like a robber, but he didn't expect that the robber was actually an ideal robber.

"Hehe, it's a bit too polite to say that Jie Li has ambitions. In Zhao's opinion, Jie Li is just an arrogant and arrogant person, and he is not only arrogant, but also very stupid!" Zhao Deyan sneered when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask again in surprise when he heard this.

"The prince-consort has never been to the Turks, so he may not know much about the situation inside the Turks. There are three reasons why I say Jie Li is stupid. The first is that he is too indecisive. When he got the position of Khan, his nephew Tuli was a child. With his strength, there is a way to solve the hidden danger of Tuli, but he was persuaded for a few words and finally let Tuli grow up safely."

"But although Tuli grew up, this person was not a big deal. No one in the Turkic country paid too much attention to him, but at this time Jie Li did the second stupid thing, which was to reform the Turkic country and want to strengthen the power in his hands. Unfortunately, he had no ability at all, but instead touched the interests of the nobles of all sizes and big, which caused panic among the Turkic people. In the end, many people surrendered to Tuli, which led to the image of division in the Turkic country."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Xiu said in surprise when he heard this. After seeing Tuli last time, he felt that the other party was not a big deal. At that time, he was also a little surprised because so many Turkic people were willing to follow him. Later, he thought it was Tuli's father Chuluo Khan left for him, but he didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

"Originally, Jie Li made the Turks into what they are now, and there was a sign of destruction of the country, but he did not repent at all. Instead, he started to do something extremely stupid again in the past few years!" Zhao Deyan sneered again at this time. The reason why he dared to say that he destroyed the Turks was because he saw Jie Li's stupidity. For a nomadic country like the Turks, a stupid Khan was enough to completely destroy them.

"What did Jie Li do?" Li Xiu also asked hurriedly.

"Hehe, Jie Li's ambition has not weakened with time. He saw that his reforms within the Turks did not achieve the desired effect, and probably learned a lesson. He knew that he did not have this talent. However, he was the head of a country, so he only needed to know how to use people. So in this case, he began to recruit talents from all walks of life and use the abilities of these talents to enhance his control over the Turks!" Zhao Deyan also showed a disdainful expression on his face when he said this.

Although he was a slave, he had been familiar with scriptures since he was a child and suffered from family changes. It can be said that his first half of his life was ups and downs, but this also allowed him to develop extraordinary wisdom and vision, which also made him think that Jie Li's actions were very ridiculous.

"Sourcing talents? Isn't this a good way?" Li Xiu asked in confusion. Jie Li himself lacked talent, so he could only use his subordinates to achieve his wish. In this way, Jie Li was not too stupid.

"The prince-consort sometimes doesn't know that recruiting talents is not wrong, but the mistake is that Jie Li thinks that the Turks are too rough and do not know how to govern the country at all. Therefore, most of the talents he recruits are alien races. Whether they are Westerners or Han people, as long as they can be attracted by Jie Li, they can get a high position immediately. On the contrary, those Turkic nobles were rejected by Jie Li. Do you think Jie Li is stupid?" Zhao Deyan said at the end, and he couldn't help laughing to the sky, and he laughed endlessly. In the end, he even felt crazy. It seemed that his previous experience had a great impact on him.

Li Xiu was speechless at this time. I have to say that Jie Li's behavior in this matter was indeed stupid. Originally, the Turks were no longer stable and there were even signs of division. However, he actually placed officials from other races within the Turks. These people were different from the customs of Turkic nobles and had conflicts in their interests. In addition, Jie Li was defeated successively against the Tang Dynasty, and his prestige was not enough to suppress most of the Turkic nobles. In this way, he was simply seeking death.

But at this moment, Li Xiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Deyan and said, "Zhao Deyan, since Jie Li is recruiting talents everywhere, from my perspective, your talent, knowledge and courage are very comparable, why not go to Jie Li? If you become an official of the Turkic people, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to take revenge?"

"Hahahahaha~!" As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, Zhao Deyan on the other side burst into laughter again with excitement and crazy laughter. After a while, he said with some praise, "It turns out that the heroes are just a similar view. The prince consort and Zhao also thought of going together. However, when I was in the Turkic period, I was just a small slave. I could die at any time. I had no chance to see Jie Li, let alone get a job with half an official position."

"Then your plan is..." Li Xiu seemed to guess some of Zhao Deyan's plan when he heard this, but he still wanted to hear him say it in person.

Zhao Deyan also showed a solemn expression at this time. He immediately tidied up his clothes, and then knelt in front of Li Xiu with a serious face and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, the villain is a cheap life. Seeing his family members being tragic to the hands of the Turks, he was already completely disappointed, but he didn't expect that God would send this opportunity to the villain. Unfortunately, the villain is an unknown person. If he wants to surrender to the Turks, no one will accept it. However, the villain was unwilling to give up, so he fled back to the Tang Dynasty. He happened to hear that the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty next year, and hoped that the prince consort would arrange for the villain to participate in the imperial examination and a high school Jinshi. At that time, the villain would use a reason to turn the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can Jie Li pay attention!"

At this time, Zhao Deyan finally told the real reason why he came to beg for Li Xiu. He wanted to be a spy in the Turks, but he had no way. After all, Jie Li was not stupid, so how could he call an unknown person? But if Zhao Deyan could participate in the imperial examination school, his identity would be completely different at this time. If he defected to the Turks, he would definitely be valued by Jie Li.

"So that's it!" Li Xiu nodded when he heard this. He believed that Zhao Deyan should not have lie to him. After all, Zhao Deyan in history caused chaos in the Turks, and after the Turks were destroyed, Zhao Deyan disappeared. There was no record of him in history. This made Li Xiu have to wonder whether Zhao Deyan in history was also a spy who was inserted by Li Shimin?

"Your idea is indeed feasible, but what I am very curious is that there are so many officials in the Tang Dynasty, why did you come to me for help?" Li Xiu suddenly smiled at this time, and then looked at Zhao Deyan and asked.

"I'm not hiding the prince-consort, the villain had planned to ask Duke Zhao for help, but unfortunately, he was just an unknown person. Duke didn't bother to see me at all. I believe the other officials. It just so happened that the villain heard about the prince-consort's previous deeds and inferred that the relationship between the prince-consort and His Majesty was extraordinary, so he came over and was worried that he would not even see anyone like Duke Zhao. So he pretended to be crazy outside the door, hoping to attract the attention of the prince-consort. In the end, it was indeed successful!" Zhao Deyan replied calmly.

"Hahaha~, I didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would also miss it!" Li Xiu couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhao Deyan's answer. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, Changsun Wuji was named Duke of Zhao, General Wuhou of the Left Wu, Minister of the Left Wushe and Minister of Personnel. It can be said that he has power in the court and the country, and can be almost compared with Pei Ji before.

"The prince-consort, the Turks and their subordinates have a national hatred and family hatred. I would like to ask the prince-consort to help the villain!" At this time, Zhao Deyan asked Li Xiu again, and after that, he kowtowed to him a few loud noises, which made Li Xiu hurriedly help him up, but at this time, a few traces of blood had already oozed out of Zhao Deyan's forehead, which was enough to show his determination.

"I'm sorry, although I want to help you very much, I still can't agree to you!" What Zhao Deyan didn't expect was that after Li Xiu pondered for a moment, he suddenly shook his head and said.

Faced with Zhao Deyan's request again, Li Xiu also wanted to agree to help Zhao Deyan arrange for the imperial examination in his capacity, and even directly let him pass the imperial examination directly. After all, there were too many loopholes in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, but Zhao Deyan had been a slave outside for many years and still had too little understanding of the Tang Dynasty.

"Why... why?" Yue Deyan couldn't help but look desperate when he heard Li Xiu's answer. Li Xiu was already his greatest hope. If even Li Xiu was unwilling to help him, he really didn't know how to avenge the country's hatred?

Seeing the desperate expression on Zhao Deyan's face, Li Xiu smiled and continued, "Although I can't help you, you don't have to be too disappointed, because I am an idle person, and I can't decide on such major affairs in the court. However, I can help you meet Your Majesty and introduce you to him. If you can convince Your Majesty, then you will get help from the Tang Dynasty court in whatever you do, which is much better than if you fight alone!"

The reason why Li Xiu refused to agree to Zhao Deyan was, on the one hand, because this matter was of great importance and he did not want to bear such a great responsibility. On the other hand, the Tang Dynasty had special intelligence opportunities. For example, the Feinusi, which Ma Ye was in charge of before, was a special intelligence opportunity. They were the real masters of the Turks' installation of spies. And if Feinusi cooperated, Zhao Deyan's actions in the Turks would be more smooth.

"Really!" Zhao Deyan couldn't help but lit up his eyes when he heard that Li Xiu was willing to introduce him to Li Shimin. He was already desperate, but he didn't expect that he would survive in a desperate situation. Li Xiu gave him a bigger surprise.

"Of course it's true. I also believe that you can become the hand that promotes the demise of the Turks!" Li Xiu said with a smile. The name Zhao Deyan alone was enough to make him recommend this person to Li Shimin.

As the saying goes, Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as Li Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door outside. Then Yue Chan's voice sounded: "Master, Your Majesty is here!"

"Uh!" Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a sudden expression. If he had a child with Princess Pingyang, Li Shimin, the brother-in-law, must have come. Even if Princess Pingyang erected a stone tablet outside the door that prohibited him from entering, Li Shimin did not take it seriously. At worst, he would not enter the door.

In contrast, Zhao Deyan next to him seemed even more excited when he heard that Li Shimin came to visit Li Xiu in person. First, he felt that he had indeed read the wrong person. This son-in-law was indeed very important in Li Shimin's eyes. Second, if he could see Li Shimin earlier, he could realize his ambitions earlier.

At that moment, Li Xiu arranged for Zhao Deyan to go to the guest room to rest for a while and eat something. He came outside the gate of the other courtyard. As a result, Li Shimin was indeed standing outside the stone tablet and refused to step in. It is said that the emperor owns the world and the whole world is his land, but for Princess Pingyang, he was unwilling to use the imperial power because he knew that doing so would only arouse Princess Pingyang's greater disgust.

"It's such a hot day, why did Your Majesty come in person?" Li Xiu immediately smiled and greeted Li Shimin and saluted.

"How is the third sister? Is the child okay?" Li Shimin saw that Li Xiu didn't say nonsense and asked Li Xiu directly.

"The princess and Jin'er are both very good. How is Lizhi? Do you insist on exercising?" Li Xiu replied with a smile at this time, and asked about Li Lizhi's situation. After Changsun took Li Lizhi away last time, he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Lizhi is also very good. Your Tai Chi is indeed good. Now I have also learned Tai Chi from Master Sun and practice with Lizhi every morning." Li Shimin smiled at this time, then signaled to Li Xiu. The two of them came to the shade of the tree next to them, found a stone and sat down.

Li Shimin came to visit Princess Pingyang, but unfortunately he couldn't go in, so he could only ask Li Xiu about the situation of Princess Pingyang and her son. Li Xiu also answered one by one. After talking about these, Li Xiu finally seized an opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, it's a coincidence. I just met someone, and this person may be of great use to Your Majesty!"
