The triumphant army went south from Yinshan, passed Dingxiang and Mayi, and then arrived at Yanmen Pass in Daizhou. When it arrived at Yanmen Pass, it was truly entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

At night, Li Ke was playing chess with Wang Xuance in the house and passing the time. At this moment, the guards outside the door suddenly came to report that Tang Jian, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, asked for a meeting.

When Li Ke heard Tang Jian ask for a meeting, a hint of suspicion appeared on his face.

Tang Jian was different from Wang Xuance. Wang Xuance was a military officer of the Shu Palace, Cao Sen, and was a retainer of Li Ke. It was normal whenever he met Li Ke, but Tang Jian was a foreign minister, and he was not an ordinary foreign minister. At this time, he was not afraid of spreading it out? Does anyone in the court question it?

"Tang Jian and I have never had much contact with each other, but they were just a chance friend. It is probably inappropriate for him to see me at this time." Li Ke heard the news that Tang Jian was asking for a meeting and told Wang Xuance beside him.

Wang Xuance replied: "Honglu Temple is in charge of the ceremonies and ceremonies. Tang Jian asked to see Your Highness at this time. Could it be that Jie Li came to visit the capital to pay homage to Your Majesty?"

Li Kechu first heard that something seemed to make sense, but then he thought about it and shook his head and said, "What does Jie Li have to do with me when he pays homage to his father? He should go to Li Jing to discuss this matter and come to find me."

Su Dingfang, who was standing beside the two, suddenly remembered something when he listened to Li Ke's words and said to Li Ke: "I'm going to hear something from my fellow villagers in the village talk about it, maybe it's related to Tang Jian's coming."

Li Ke said: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Su Dingfang said: "A few days ago, the Tieshan Battle was in a hurry. Many jewelry transported from Dingxiang City were divided up by the soldiers under Li Jing's command. Tang Jian's arrival may be related to this matter."

Li Ke listened to Su Dingfang's words, and a hint of interest appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The looting of soldiers can be big or small. To put it in a small way, it is just a lack of strict control. With Li Jing’s current military achievements, at most it is just a few words of hurt and scolding. But to put it in a big way, it is to indulge soldiers to plunder. It is a thing that should belong to the treasury. It is the biggest, but it has to be dismissed from office or even beheaded.

Li Ke has little to do with Tang Jian, and Tang Jian suddenly came here to look for Li Ke for this reason.

"Biography!" Li Ke roughly understood Tang Jian's purpose and asked the guards who came to report.

The guard received the order and retreated. After a moment, he brought Tang Jian, who had come to ask for his meeting.

Seeing Tang Jian entering the door in a hurry, Li Ke stood up and asked, "It's already night, what's the point of seeing me when Duke Ju comes to see me?"

Tang Jian took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Li Ke, and said to Li Ke: "This is the memorial of Li Jing's victory that I copied by me. Please read it."

Li Ke opened the memorial handed over by Tang Jian and looked at it in a pretentious manner. Except for some greetings and other words, the others were nothing more than a report on the results of the Northern Expedition. Li Ke had already more affirmed Tang Jian's intentions.

Li Ke looked at it for a moment, folded the memorial, and asked Tang Jian in a pretentious manner: "But I don't know what is abnormal in this memorial, and I actually called Duke Ju anxious now? Could it be that the number of prisoners reported was fake?"

Tang Jian shook his head and said to Li Ke: "The number of prisoners is true, but the seized property is a big difference. Li Jing defeated the Turkic army and seized only 100,000 cattle and sheep. Isn't this a false sense? In recent years, Jie Li has fought everywhere and accumulated countless treasures. Not to mention anything else, the Weishui Alliance alone has moved most of the treasury in Chang'an. But now Jie Li has been defeated and captured. What about the mountains of wealth?"

After Tang Jian said this clearly, Li Ke's face suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment.

Li Ke said to Tang Jian in surprise: "Yes, Jie Li has accumulated for many years, and his family will never be the only cattle and sheep. Has Li Jing not sealed the seized property and handed over to the state treasury?"

Tang Jian said: "This is the memorial submitted by Li Jing. No word is mentioned in the seized property."

As Tang Jian said this, Li Ke's expression became more and more surprised. Li Ke asked, "Is this memorial reliable?"

Tang Jian immediately replied: "This was copied by me personally, and there is no deviation from the words Li Jing reported to Chang'an."

When Li Ke heard this, he seemed quite annoyed by Li Jing's actions, and immediately clapped the table and said, "Li Jing is arrogant and dares to move the treasury stuff."

Li Ke is Li Shimin's parent-child, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. The entire Tang Dynasty and the whole world belong to his Li family. Things that should belong to his family were lost because of Li Jing. He should not have looked calm.

Li Ke shouted angrily, as if he had dispersed the anger in his chest, and then asked, "But I don't know where these treasures are now?"

Tang Jian replied: "It has been divided up by all the soldiers of the Tang army. I am afraid that Li Jing, as the head coach, will take a lot of them."

The army seized a large amount of property, and Li Jing, as the commander of the three armies, was reasonable to take a big shot.

"Bold!" After hearing Tang Jian's words, Li Ke slapped the table suddenly, and he wanted to take Li Jing to the death.

After a few short sentences, Li Ke's expression was already loyal. When he heard Li Ke's words, he thought Li Ke wanted to offend Li Jing and immediately said, "Li Shuai has always been a man of the emperor. Tang Jian's affairs are not trustworthy. Your Highness may be a little rash when he goes here."

Before Li Ke could speak, Wang Xuance beside Li Ke smiled and said, "Ding Fang, don't be anxious. According to my appearance, I must have plans."
