Chapter 201

Since Li Ke went north as a hostage six years ago, Turkic has been doomed to be difficult to part with Li Ke completely. .

Among the current princes, apart from Li Ke as the emperor, none of the princes dare to use Turkic again and can rest assured of Turkic.If the Turkic family wants to prosper in the Tang Dynasty, they cannot do without Li Ke's protection and support, and the same is true for Li Ke.

Xieli is very smart. Although he knows that his fate will not be long, he is still planning and thinking about his children.

The roster that Xieli handed over to Li Ke seemed random, but in fact it was the result of his deliberation for several days, and he took advantage of today's opportunity to give it to Li Ke.

Just as Xieli said, his son Dieluoshi was sincere and had no ambitions. This roster was useless to him. Holding it in his hand, it felt like a man who was innocent and conceived a crime.

In the hands of Die Luoshi, this roster is just a pile of waste paper, which is of little use, but in the hands of Li Ke, this booklet has a lot to do, and once this roster is exposed in front of those local tyrants, they will be impatient Well, ordinary people can't use this booklet, and only people like Li Ke can keep it.

Li Ke is very clear about the meaning behind this booklet, and this booklet may be able to play a role in setting the world at a critical time, but now, it is far from the time to take it out.

Although this thin booklet only records dozens of families in this area, behind them, the relationship between them is intricate, and it is definitely not something that can be recorded in this mere booklet.

What is recorded in this booklet is not the words, but the lives of thousands of people from dozens of families. Li Ke will never show it to others easily, so as soon as Li Ke got it, he put the book close to him, and even his most trusted Wang Xuance He and Cen Wenwen never informed.

Li Ke returned to Chu Palace with the brochure in his arms, and Li Ke also knew that seeing Xieli this time might be the last time he saw him in his life.

Just a few days after Li Ke returned to the mansion, Xie Li's condition deteriorated rapidly, and within a month, he was unable to get water and rice. out of breath.

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the winter solstice was also the first day when Chang'an city officially entered winter.

After a night of north wind, the leaves inside and outside Chang'an City rustled and fell, and the inside and outside of Chang'an City was very lonely.

But on this night when the severe winter fell suddenly and the birds disappeared, Xieli was able to survive the cold winter of this year after all, and he didn't even see the first heavy snowfall in the sixth year of Zhenguan. During this period, he died in the mansion of General Youwei.

Xieli is not considered a powerful figure in Chang'an City, there are many people above him, but Xieli's status is special, his death will eventually lead to countless undercurrents in Chang'an City.

"Your Highness, Xie Li has passed away, and His Highness is here alone, but he has something to think about?" Wang Xuance asked in a low voice, looking at Li Ke who was leaning on the railing in the attic.

Before burning incense, Li Ke heard the news of Jieli's death early in the morning, so he didn't go out. Instead, he trapped himself in the attic of the Chu Palace, leaning on the railing, but no one knew what he was looking at. What, other than a confidant like Wang Xuance, no one dared to ask.

"Xieli passed away, and the officialdom in Chang'an must be very lively now. Who are the people from the General Youwei's residence?" Li Ke listened to Wang Xuance, but did not answer, instead he clapped his hands on the railing and asked instead.

Wang Xuance replied: "King Wei, King Yan, and King Jing have already gone. Regardless of whether they are acquainted with each other or not, most of the provincial and central ministers have also gone. However, the Supreme Emperor did not go, but sent middle officials there."

Hearing this, Li Ke frowned, and then asked: "Where are the father and the crown prince?"

Wang Xuance replied: "The East Palace has sent Chu Liang to go there, but His Majesty has not seen any news yet."

Li Ke listened to Wang Xuance's words, and nodded slowly. It was already at this time, and there was no news from Li Shimin's side. Presumably Li Shimin was somewhat entangled with the news of Jieli's death.

Although Jieli was once an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, he is now a minister of the Tang Dynasty. The posthumous title and posthumous title of Jieli after his death need to be finalized by Li Shimin.

If the setting is poor, it seems that Li Shimin is narrow-minded and has no tolerance, and it is not conducive to stabilizing the hearts of the Turks. However, Jieli was guilty of Tang Dynasty. If the setting is too high, it will affect Li Shimin's prestige among the people, and it is not Li Shimin. want to see.

How to properly determine the posthumous title and posthumous title is really not an easy task.

Li Ke lowered his head, looked at the withered and yellow fallen leaves all over the garden, and sighed to Wang Xuance: "Jieli can be regarded as a character. You have to rely on people to breathe, it really makes people sigh."

Wang Xuance could hear what Li Ke meant, and Wang Xuance said: "Since Jieli is competing with us in the Tang Dynasty, he should have had such an awareness long ago. With the sons and daughters standing by their side, the whole body can still be preserved."

Hearing this, Li Ke gave a wry smile and said, "Even if a person like him dies, he should die on horseback and in front of the two armies, but he died on a soft collapse. I got the whole body, but I also lost a little bit of strength."

From Li Ke's point of view, since a man is fighting for supremacy in the world, even if he loses, he should also be shrouded in a corpse on the battlefield. He draws his sword quickly and surrenders like Jieli. "Xiong".

Wang Xuance looked at Li Ke who seemed to be feeling something, but he still had no intention of leaving, so he said: "Xie Li died, all the ministers above the fifth rank in Chang'an City are going, if Your Highness doesn't go, I'm afraid I will lose my courtesy."

Li Ke said: "Once Jieli died, so many eyes in Chang'an City were staring at me and my reaction, but my father's meaning is still unclear, and this king is not sure about my father's thoughts. It might be inappropriate to go there rashly."

Jie Li fell ill, it was Li Ke who visited Li Shimin at the order of Li Shimin, Ashinayun canonized the princess, and it was Li Ke who went to the mansion to announce the decree. The relationship between Li Ke and Jie Li was different from that of others in Chang'an City. Naturally, there were many people in the city waiting to see Li Ke's actions.

Right now Li Ke stayed in the mansion, and he did not express his position out of prudence.But Wang Xuance thought about it, but felt something was wrong.

Wang Xuance said: "Jieli's new funeral is a good time for His Highness to come forward to win over the Turks. If His Highness does not show his face at this time, there may be dissatisfied Turks among the Turks, which is not conducive to His Highness's plan. I think it is inconvenient for Your Highness To show up, at least send someone to offer condolences, so as not to make people feel that His Highness is alienated and unkind."

Wang Xuance's words also have their own reasons, Li Ke thought for a while and said: "Before the emperor's intention is not known, it is inconvenient for the king to go, but you know most of the leaders of the Turkic tribes, so you can go for the king. "

Wang Xuance had accompanied Li Ke as a hostage to the Turks, so he was naturally familiar with the leaders of the various Turkic tribes. Moreover, Wang Xuance was Li Ke's confidant, so it was much better for him to come forward than others.

"Here." Wang Xuance accepted the order and withdrew.
