Zhao Xun's inner study room.

Zhao Xun sat above and Li Zhong sat below. Both of them were silent now. This silence did not always exist, but after a fierce debate, both sides said it to a certain point and it was no longer possible to say.

Both of them looked bad, Zhao Xun frowned and said nothing, and his eyes swept towards Li Zhong below from time to time.

Li Zhong closed his eyes and pursed his lips tightly, obviously trying his best to restrain himself.

"Uncle Li, you are now the right prime minister. If you were the Privy Councilor, I would give you almost all the military and national affairs. Is this kind of trust not great enough?"

Zhao Xun said these words hoarsely, breaking the tranquility of both sides.

Li Zhong opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Xun, and sighed, "Your Majesty, the old minister's ability cannot bear such a great responsibility!"

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "If you don't try, how can you know it won't work?"

"As a big thing in political reform, it cannot get the support of most civil and military people in the court. At any cost, he will do it hard and recklessly. Have the emperor ever thought about the consequences? The old minister can rush to the front and it is no big deal. It is nothing more than just a death. I am afraid that even if the old minister dies, it will be useless. At that time, the situation will not be controlled, which will implicate the emperor and drag down the entire country. What is the face of the old minister in the nine fountains to meet the late emperor?"

Li Zhong's eyes were already red, and tears couldn't help falling. He had only cried twice in his life, once last year, his wife died of illness, and now.

Li Zhong has never been afraid of anything, and he will not blink even if he is a sword. But now, he is extremely worried about what Zhao Xun does and the future of the country. This feeling is absolutely sincere and pure, and does not contain any personal gains and losses.

Otherwise, Li Zhong would never have had an argument with Zhao Xun, let alone say this.

Just as Zhao Xun said, you are now the right prime minister. If you were the Privy Councilor, almost all the military and national affairs of the Jin Dynasty would be in your own hands. What else can you say about such power and glory?

However, Li Zhong was not the kind of person who flocked to power and status. He was grateful to the late emperor Zhao Zhi for his brotherhood and brotherly feelings. If he had not had the late emperor's kindness of his understanding, he would probably not have been able to go out of the mountains and spend his whole life with poverty.

If you have a little selfish thought, Li Zhong will not come back at all. With his prestige and power in Anbei, if he doesn't come back, Zhao Zhi dared not say anything, but in a letter, Li Zhong said nothing, thought nothing, let go of everything about Anbei and returned to Fengjing.

The letter Zhao Zhi wrote to Li Zhong that he asked him to come back was full of emotion and sincerity. You have enough to do with me, the country, and the people in your life, and you can rest. I don’t have much time left. Once the emperor is in his day, I trust you, but it does not mean that the emperor after me will also trust you. You continue to stay in Anbei, master so many troops, and have such high prestige and power, which is not a good thing, so it’s better to come back.

Li Zhong is back.

Zhao Zhi once told Li Zhong that letting you serve as the Left Prime Minister is just a transition, protecting the new emperor, and after the matter is done, you should retreat and not participate in politics. People in their sixties are tired all their lives and relax for several years.

Zhao Zhi's thoughts were very clear about Li Zhong. He knew that Li Zhong was one of the few famous generals as a soldier, but in politics, he was too bad. Once he was involved, with Li Zhong's personality and ability, he was likely to not have a good end. Both of them were monarchs and ministers and brothers. Zhao Zhi could not not make any considerations and plans for Li Zhong.

With Li Zhong's efforts to the country and his prestige and reputation in the army, even if he retreats, who will make things difficult for him and dare to make things difficult for him?

The Wing King Zhao He brazenly launched a coup. He dared to kill the prince, but he did not dare to touch Li Zhong.

To this day, Zhao Xun has gradually improved Li Zhong's status and rights, which seems to be an absolute reuse and trust in him, but this kind of gain has extremely obvious political intentions.

Zhao Xun wanted to tie Li Zhong to himself. To put it bluntly, this is to treat Li Zhong as a gun, give him rights and status, and push Li Zhong to the forefront of politics. All risks and pressures are piled on Li Zhong. Once the situation reaches an irreversible point, Zhao Xun may not die, but Li Zhong will definitely die without a place to bury him.

Could Li Zhong not understand such a simple thing? Of course he could see it clearly and clearly, but Li Zhong still satisfied everything about Zhao Xun. He was not Zhao Xun, but this country. In order to repay Emperor Xingzong's great kindness to him, the Jin Dynasty was able to be revived because of the hard work and great efforts of many people, which gave us today's fruits. Li Zhong was also one of them. Therefore, he must be full of emotions towards the country. He did not want the Jin Dynasty to be ruined by Zhao Xun's hands.

Li Zhong said: "Your Majesty, it's not impossible for you to launch political reforms, but can you slow down the pace? Let everyone have a buffer. As long as there is a buffer, the current situation will not develop to an irreversible level."

Li Zhong really didn't understand why Zhao Xun had to be so anxious and had such intense methods. Isn't it good to take it slowly?

After listening to Li Zhong's advice, Zhao Xun was silent. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I also want to slow down, but... God won't give me this opportunity and time!"

Li Zhong said in confusion: "Why did the emperor say this?"

Li Zhong did not understand what Zhao Xun meant. What does it mean to have no chance and time?

Zhao Xun glanced at Li Zhong and did not explain anything.

"Uncle Li, you have already understood my intentions. I hope you can consider more for me and the country and take over the affairs of the Privy Council. As long as you unite with me, you can definitely handle the political reform well, and the Great Jin Dynasty will definitely be able to get ZTE in our hands."

Zhao Xun said this sincerely.

Li Zhong shook his head: "The old minister doesn't have that ability, so please choose another wise man!"

Zhao Xun's biggest reliance on establishing the Privy Council was the Shenwu Army. His purpose was to use the Privy Council as a political means, bypass the Political Affairs Hall and the Aristocratic Family Group, and then forcibly promote political reform. This move will inevitably be fiercely opposed by the vast majority of civil and military officials in the court. This was almost completely torn apart from the Aristocratic Family Group. With the progress of political reform, the Aristocratic Family Group will definitely unite and launch a strong counterattack.

At that time, the Privy Council is both a political means and a tool for crackdown. Zhao Xun will definitely use the Shenwu Army as his backer to forcefully suppress all opposition forces. Such a fight will probably be a bloody storm.
