Chapter 72 Lanling Xiao Clan
Li Ke promised to bring Empress Xiao back to the country in the future, and in return, Empress Xiao promised to introduce the elders of the Xiao family to him, and to introduce the elders of the Xiao clan, to put it bluntly, was to give Li Ke a chance to form an alliance with the Xiao family.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Li Ke can bring Empress Xiao back to Datang safely.

Empress Xiao's words seemed simple, as if the elders brought the younger generation back to their hometown to visit, but when Li Ke heard it, Li Ke felt something special in his heart.

The Xiao family in Lanling, after the famous Prime Minister Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty, has been one of the top families in the world since the Jin Dynasty. In terms of origin and reputation, it is not inferior to the so-called seven clans and five surnames, and even surpasses them.

"Fame and virtue face each other, and the prosperity and decline of the Tang Dynasty. The prosperity of the family has never been seen in ancient times." This is the praise of Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi, who edited the Tang Book, to the Lanling Xiao family.

"Emperor of the Two Dynasties, Prime Minister of the Nine Xiaos." Lanling Xiao's nobility is by no means a vain name.

Among the princes of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Li Chengqian had the help of the Guanzhong family headed by the Changsun family. If Li Ke wanted to compete with him, it would be inevitable to win over other family members. The Lanling Xiao family might not be a good choice.

Moreover, the Xiao family of Lanling, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Pei family of Hedong, the Wei family of Jingzhao, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the Cui family of Boling are all the top families in the Tang Dynasty and the top families in the south of the Yangtze River. The Ling Xiao family has attracted more than half of the Jiangnan family, and the benefits are self-evident to Li Ke.

Besides, Empress Xiao has a high status in the Lanling Xiao family, so it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort for Li Ke to be recommended by her.

Xiao Shi has been in Turkic for several years, and she has been thinking of returning for a long time, if it is not for returning to the south, she may not be willing to do so.

Li Ke immediately cupped his hands and thanked: "Li Ke thanked Madam, and Li Ke assured Madam that Li Ke will protect Madam to return to China in the future."

Li Ke was smart and knew everything, and he immediately understood what Empress Xiao meant, but Li Ke's reaction fell into Empress Xiao's eyes, and Empress Xiao also knew Li Ke's ambition, or maybe it was ambition.

Empress Xiao was also born in the royal family, and even assisted his husband Yang Guang to ascend to the throne of God. She knew people like Li Ke very well.

If Li Ke wanted to be a prince honestly, to be his prince of Taiping, he should never have reacted like this after hearing what he said.

Empress Xiao looked at the flash of light in Li Ke's eyes, and sighed in her heart: Li Shimin was not a thing in the pool when he was young, and his children were also like this at a young age. In the future, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty will probably be lively. up.

Empress Xiao said to Li Ke: "Although I belong to the Xiao family, I have been away from home for many years, and I don't have a lot of contacts. I can only introduce you to one or two, and I can't help the rest."

Li Ke said: "That's natural. My wife is willing to introduce Li Ke. Li Ke is already enough. How dare you ask for more."

Li Ke's reaction fell into the eyes of Empress Xiao. After reading countless people, Empress Xiao felt that Li Ke was really sure to bring her back, and she couldn't help being curious.

Empress Xiao has a mediocre personality, although she can't help much in Turkic, but based on her status alone, Princess Yicheng and Xieli will never send him back to Tang Dynasty.At this time, Li Ke himself is still a proton, what can be done to help him leave Turkic?

Empress Xiao asked curiously: "Do you really have a way for me to return home?"

Li Ke nodded, and replied firmly: "Yes."

Empress Xiao then asked: "Oh? What is your method?"

Li Ke pretended to be mysterious and said: "The time is not yet ripe, so it is useless to say it. When the opportunity is ripe in the future, Madam will naturally know."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Empress Xiao touched Li Ke's arm, and said with a smile: "You are different from ordinary young people. You can tell that you are not easy to deal with just by looking at the way you deal with Kang Amu. I believe you."

Empress Xiao actually knew that she had set up a trap against Kang Amu?Li Ke listened to what Empress Xiao said, and unconsciously turned his eyes to Ashinayun who was sitting at the side. Except for her, no one would mention this before Xiao Empress.

Seeing Li Ke suddenly looking at him, Ashina knew Li Ke's conjecture.

Ashinayun nodded and said: "I only told my grandmother about this matter, and I didn't tell anyone else, so you don't have to worry."

Ashinayun saw what happened that day, and knew that it was all Li Ke's arrangement. Although Li Ke was not afraid of these things being known by others, he was still in Turkic, so it was better to keep a low profile. I don't want others to know about it.

Ashinayun also knew the seriousness, and he didn't feel much disgusted by Li Ke's setup to kill Kang Amu, but felt that Li Ke did the right thing.

The children of the grassland are straightforward, with clear grievances and grievances. Ashinayun has seen things that are not in harmony with each other. Kang Amu first killed Li Ke, and it is understandable that Li Ke wanted his life.

At this moment, Empress Xiao who was on the side opened her mouth to explain to Ashina Yun: "Ah Yun is just afraid that I will be depressed here alone, so I say something every day to relieve my fatigue, there is no other meaning. You can rest assured, my mouth It’s pretty solid, and it won’t be leaked.”

Li Ke can trust the words of Empress Xiao. Empress Xiao has been in the royal family for decades. If her mouth is not strict enough, she might have lost her life long ago. How could she survive to this day.

Li Ke said: "Madam Li Ke is naturally trustworthy, but the relationship is not small at this time, and it will be troublesome to tell it out."

Empress Xiao also knew about Li Ke's worries. Although Kang Sumi was outraged by the public, he had held a high position in Turkic for so many years. come to trouble.

Empress Xiao said to Li Ke: "Although the matter of Kang Sumi was caused by you, in the final analysis, it was Kang Sumi's own fault. In order to please Khan, he did too many evil things and offended too many people. , he could not escape death."

Hearing this, Li Ke asked, "Madam also knows about Kang Sumi?"

Empress Xiao nodded, with memories in her eyes, and said to Li Ke: "I've seen too many people like Kang Sumi. They came from a poor family, suddenly got the favor of the king, and they are in a high position. They will inevitably get lost for a while, and they don't know their priorities. It's a pity they If the foundation is not solid, it is inevitable that you will die in the end in the court. Even if you don't move him today, he will inevitably die."

Empress Xiao has been in a high position for many years and is used to seeing these people.

In the early years when the Sui Dynasty was still there, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty often promoted the children of the poor family to become officials. These children of the poor family still have talents, but once they occupy important positions, they often get lost and find it difficult to abide by their hearts. If you make a mistake, you will be eliminated by a family with a heart, or you will be clinging to the powerful, accepted by a family, and reduced to a subordinate.

Even if Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to use the children of poor families and the so-called imperial examinations to deal with the aristocratic family, it was a fantasy.

Although the Turks had no aristocratic families, they had various ministries in the grassland. Today's Kang Sumi is a poor family with no roots, and the leaders of the various ministries are powerful aristocratic families. If Kang Sumi offended them, he would naturally die.
