Li Dingguo looked at him and suddenly said, "Eighth King, what you said is different from what my father said." "Different again?" "My father said you're crazy. You fight without regard for your life and kill without blinking an eye." Li Dingguo paused, "But I think you're even more formidable than my father described, but you're also less courageous than him." Zhang Xianzhong was stunned. Since he, the Eighth King, drew his sword at the grain depot, since he caused a ruckus in Yan'an, since he started his rebellion, this was the first time someone had called him a coward. "Hmm," Li Dingguo said seriously, "You're afraid of defeat. Afraid of your men scattering, afraid of losing everything. My father and Uncle Liu weren't afraid." Zhang Xianzhong stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed. "You little rascal, you're really something." He looked at Li Dingguo: "If you ever become the commander of a battalion, or even an army, with thousands or tens of thousands of men under your command, you'll understand. This isn't fear; it's the awareness that a king must have. If you don't have that awareness, your troops won't be united. Some people will even kill their own wives to keep their brothers in the camp united."

How does a lowly finance official, armed with a book of death, manage to extend the life of the Tang Dynasty for seventy-two hours amidst the Empress and cruel officials? --- [Thumbs Up] [The Deadly Ledger: A Silent Thunderclap] In Luoyang, the capital, the Lantern Festival is approaching, and the city is ablaze with lights, yet the light cannot penetrate the dusty corners of the Ministry of Revenue. A trembling ninth-rank official, Li Suan, opens an old ledger titled *The Three-Day Ledger of Luoyang*. His fingertips trace the disguised entries for "charcoal tribute" and "ice tribute," and his pupils shrink—this is no account; it is clearly a death list written in numbers, a blueprint for a coup that foreshadows the dynasty's downfall. Every "deficit" in the ledger corresponds to a murder disguised as an accident; every "tribute" is a blood-stained bond connecting twenty-seven high-ranking officials. As his gaze fell upon the last page, upon the row of glaring, scarlet finger marks, Li Suan understood: seventy-two hours later, Empress Wu Zetian would face her darkest end at the most dazzling lantern festival. The abacus beads clicked softly, and a life-or-death struggle, using numbers as weapons and accounts as a game board, began. This insignificant figure, skilled only in accounting, unwittingly became the most humble yet crucial weight on the scales of history. --- [Thumbs up] [Exclusive Highlights - Fourfold Impact] 1. A unique "financial crime-solving" genre, pioneering a new track in historical suspense. While all the protagonists are engaged in cultivation, martial arts, palace intrigue, and domestic power struggles, Li Suan's weapons are only an abacus and a pair of eyes. He smells bloodshed, tracks power and money, and unravels conspiracies from the dry, unassuming numbers. This isn't a time-traveler's devastating attack, but rather an ancient "auditor" maximizing his professional abilities in a desperate situation to survive. 1. The clatter of abacus beads is more chilling than swords; the audit report becomes a deadly summons more deadly than an imperial edict. 2. A 72-hour countdown, the heartbeat resonates with the second hand. The entire book uses "three days before the Lantern Festival" as the deadline, compressing the tension to the extreme. From the discovery of the account books to being hunted by cruel officials, to navigating the power struggles between Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Lai Junchen, every hour is a walk on a knife's edge. The pace is as fast as a drumbeat, the suspense builds layer by layer, leaving the reader breathless, yet unable to resist staying up all night to read more. 3. Full of historical details, a feast for the minds of research enthusiasts. The story delves into the real historical gaps of the first year of Wu Zetian's reign. The unspoken rules of officialdom, such as the "charcoal and ice tributes," and the shocking corruption case of the "sunken canal ship," are all historically verifiable. With solid details, the author revives the turbulent capital of Luoyang under the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, allowing readers to enjoy the thrill of solving a mystery while immersing themselves in the weighty tapestry of history. 4. A powerful resonance with ordinary people, the hero's dream of every commoner. Li Suan, powerless and without connections, experiences fear and struggle that resonate with every ordinary person struggling in reality. Witness how he uses his only skill—accounting—to manipulate the entire dynasty's chessboard. This kind of counterattack based on expertise and courage is far more inspiring than divine intervention, igniting the heroic spark of "I can do it too" in the reader's heart. [Heart] [The Ultimate Hook: Waiting for You to Join] If numbers can lie, then the truth lies hidden in the bloody fingerprints on the last page. If the prosperous era is an illusion, then destruction is destined in the lamplight seventy-two hours later. Wu Zetian, in the Mingtang, awaits an "audit report" that will allow her to see everyone clearly; Princess Taiping, behind the curtain, treats everyone as a disposable pawn; Lai Junchen's claws are already sharpening their knives outside the door. And Li Suan, this insignificant figure at the center of the storm, has only an abacus and a heart unwilling to let the capital be consumed by fire. Unequal accounts lead to unrest; numbers, like a knife, hang over the dynasty's throat. Open the "Three-Day Record of Luoyang," and this time, you will witness the end of history.
