Chapter 59 Account Books

Li Ke is no longer the young and immature boy he used to be. Li Ke has seen too many things over the years. His ability to be cunning and not as good as his sex is better than before.

But it was Li Ke who was so mentally prepared. When he suddenly saw the booklet handed to him by Zhao Deyan, his face showed such a complicated look, which was hard to understand.

After Zhao Deyan left, he was in the Grand Governor's Office and study room.

In the study, Li Ke had been in a while. Li Ke looked at the book in front of him, frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Your Highness." Li Ke was staying in the study. Wang Xuance entered and bowed to Li Ke.

Li Ke looked up, looked at Wang Xuance, pointed to Fangdeng in front of him, and said to Wang Xuance: "Sir, come, let's sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wang Xuance thanked him, then sat down opposite Li Ke as he spoke and asked Li Ke, "I don't know what your highness is saying to me?"

Li Ke nodded, looked at the map and booklet on the table and said to Wang Xuance: "Sir, look at this thing first."

"Okay." Wang Xuance responded first, and like Li Ke, he picked up the map on the table and looked at it.

Wang Xuance only took a look and realized that this map was rare. He smiled at Li Ke and said, "Where is your highness? This map is very detailed, but it is a priceless treasure that can match tens of thousands of troops."

Li Ke said: "Yes, this map is indeed rare, but you can look at that booklet before talking about it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuance put down the map in his hand, picked up the booklet beside him and started reading it.

The booklet in Wang Xuance's hand was not thick, and it was only more than thirty pages in full swing, but many small characters on the page were densely recorded, and every page was like this.

Wang Xuance looked at the booklet in his hand and was stunned for a moment. After a moment of stunnedness, he flipped through the booklet in his hand and looked carefully.

"Your Highness, is the record of this book true?" Wang Xuance pointed to the booklet in his hand and asked Li Ke.

Li Ke replied: "This book is newly obtained by this king. You are familiar with the person who presented this book. This book should not be fake."

Wang Xuance asked, "I don't know who presented this book to Your Highness. This book was placed on the Turks in the past, so I'm afraid that ordinary people will not be able to contact you."

Li Ke said: "This booklet was presented to me by Zhao Deyan, who was the Turkic Pasha. Now Zhao Deyan is serving Dadushi in Jinshan. Today, Zhao Deyan comes here to pay homage to me by Dadushi. This booklet is also considered to be Zhao Deyan's promotion to my king."

Wang Xuance was not aware of Zhao Deyan's incident before. When Wang Xuance heard this, he said in surprise: "Zhao Deyan is not dead, now Jinshan!"

Li Ke nodded and said, "Yes, Dadushi Nuozhenshui was defeated. I was worried that I and Yi Nan would hold him accountable. Zhao Deyan made a plan and advised Dadushi to go far away and set up a new branch."

After hearing this, Wang Xuance thought for a moment and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness is now in Hedong and is in the north. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that whether it is Xue Yantuo or generous, defeat is just a matter of time. Zhao Deyan is so smart and good at protecting himself, it is impossible for him to not be able to see the general trend clearly. If this is said, this book will probably be true."

Li Ke asked, "Sir, what do you think this booklet?"

Wang Xuance listened to Li Ke's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold on his back and said to Li Ke: "This booklet is the death talisman of many aristocratic families in the north. If this booklet is published, I'm afraid the entire Heshuo would have caused a bloody storm."

Li Ke slapped the table and said angrily: "Yes, when I was in the north, these aristocratic families colluded with Jie Li behind their backs to ensure the peace of their homes and had a good relationship with our northern enemy in the Tang Dynasty. They secretly sent so many wealth and capital enemies. If I hadn't seen these things, how could I believe it?"

After hearing Li Ke's words, it turned out that the book written in the book Zhao Deyan gave Li Ke was the wealth of the Turks when they were prosperous and powerful in the world. When the Heshuo generation of various families and local tyrants privately presented them to the Turks Jie Li Khan.

Since the chaotic times of the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains were in war and heroes were competing for the victory, and the strength of the Central Plains and the grassland tribes, which only care about internal friction, had a great reversal. The Central Plains were weak and the grasslands were strong, and the Turks were the most powerful in the world. Even Li Yuan, who had just launched an army from Taiyuan, had to surrender to the Turks in order to seek time and space for development and growth.

However, Li Tang's resignation to the Turks was just a temporary measure. The Turks were strong, but since Li Tang rose to Guanzhong and gradually won the world, he no longer bends to the Turks. After the Wude period, the two countries even attacked each other for many years, winning and losing.

But although the Tang Dynasty no longer surrendered to the Turks, before the Tang Dynasty's northern expedition in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turkish troops were still stronger than the Tang Dynasty. Especially at the end of the ninth year of Wude, the Turkic army even once approached the Wei River and almost destroyed the capital Chang'an.

In the Heshuo area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, especially Hedong, where the Turks must pass south, many families still have private friendships with the Turks in order to protect themselves, which will inevitably lead to the Turkish army's journey south in the future, causing disaster to the family.

The booklet in Li Ke was taken over by the order of Jie Li, which recorded the wealth sent by the Heshuo family to Jie Li for ten years from the third year of Wude to the northern expedition of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan.

Wang Xuance said: "A hundred years of national dynasty, thousands of years of aristocratic families. These aristocratic families value their families over their countries. They have always been like this. Your Highness should not be too surprised. But I didn't expect that there were so many aristocratic families in Heshuo's generation who privately colluded with the Turks, almost half of them. If His Majesty had not used thunder to pacify the northern land quickly, if there were worms in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, it would be really unpredictable."

Li Ke sighed and said, "Yes, fortunately, the Pharmacist Duke took charge of the Northern Expedition and sent a surprise troops to quickly settle the northern border. Otherwise, if these people who sell national security families are there, the battle that concerns the fate of the Tang Dynasty will be really hard to say."

Wang Xuance looked at Li Ke's appearance and asked, "Reading the book, even the Miao family of Shangdang and Pingyang Jing family are among them. The book in His Highness is a sharp sword. If it is used well, it can overcome all obstacles. If it is used poorly, it may hurt himself. I wonder what Your Highness is going to deal with this matter?"

Li Ke said: "I asked Mr. here to ask him what he meant. What do you think should be done?"

Wang Xuance smiled at Li Ke and said, "It depends on whether Your Highness wants to be Wei Wu or Han Wu."

After hearing Wang Xuance's words, Li Ke thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what is the difference between Wei Wu and Han Wu?"

Wang Xuance replied: "If Your Highness wants to be Wei Wu, you can destroy this item and then spread the news out on the grounds, which can win people's hearts. If Your Highness wants to be Hanwu, you need to keep this item secretly and not release it. You can act at the right time, either commit crimes or coercion. If you use it properly, you can also achieve great things."
