The first thousand two hundred and fourteen chapters a complete defeat fifteen
Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "What you said makes some sense."
Li Xun looked at Zhao Xun's expression and asked softly: "The emperor seems to know that I can say these words?"
"After Dashi attacked the Western Regions, Sheikhman and others were still safe and sound. Do you think I ignored them?"
Zhao Xun said coldly: "Dashi betrayed the covenant, and Sheikhman dared to serve in the Great Jin Dynasty. It was simply a joke to me. I wish I could cut them into pieces to relieve my hatred."
Li Xun asked, "What made the emperor change his mind?"
Zhao Xun said: "It's Lu Zhongxun. His words are exactly the same as you. I think it makes sense, so I didn't kill Sheikhman."
Li Xun understood that before him, Lu Zhongxun had thought of this problem and made a statement, and finally got Zhao Xun's approval. Therefore, even without his advice, Zhao Xun would not kill Sheikhman. Thinking of this, Li Xun couldn't help laughing secretly. The 500,000 taels of silver that Sheikhman gave him seemed to be in vain.
"When are you going to set out?"
Zhao Xun turned the topic to the imperial guards, and the issue in Hebei is what he is most concerned about at the moment.
Li Xun said: "The imperial guards have almost assembled. I gave the order. At noon the latest the day after tomorrow, if you have not returned, you will not wait. The army will set off and go to Hebei immediately."
Zhao Xun nodded, pointed at Li Xun and instructed: "After you go to Hebei, don't interfere in military affairs. Zhang Jin, Yan Yi, Kou Xiong and others are all good at fighting. I am more at ease with them to command the army to fight."
Li Xun said, "Please rest assured, I understand."
Zhao asked, "What do you understand?"
Li Xun said: "After I arrive in Hebei, I will always warn the generals to fight steadily and not to make progress easily. I will fight as much as I am safe, and do not seek merit but to be without mistakes."
Li Xun's words seemed very negative, but after hearing this, Zhao Xun smiled and nodded and said, "If you understand my feelings, I will feel at ease."
Although Zhao Xun did not say it clearly, after several conversations, Li Xun had already understood Zhao Xun’s true thoughts.
In response to the battle in Hebei, Zhao Xun mobilized almost half of his military forces. Once he was defeated, the consequences would undoubtedly be extremely huge.
Therefore, Zhao Xun appointed Li Xun as the general supervisor of the army, not to let him lead the army in Hebei and fight to the death with Li Conggu. Regarding the battle in Hebei, Zhao Xun valued not the outcome of the war, but the purpose and result. If Li Conggu could be eliminated, it would be the best. If it could not be, it would not matter. Zhao Xun's fundamental purpose is actually very simple, to protect Chen Qingzhu and Gao Shancai, and Li Conggu must not be allowed to successfully unify the entire Hebei Road.
Once such a unified Hebei and hundreds of thousands of troops are formed, it will be too threatening to the court and Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun's financial reform will also be severely hit. The reason is very simple. Once Li Conggu unifies the entire Hebei, Zhao Xun will have to put most of his energy and strength into Hedong and Henan to prevent Li Conggu's military threat.
Once the energy and strength are trapped by Hebei Road, what else can Zhao Xun do?
Zhang Jin, Yan Yi, and Kou Xiong are all powerful generals who are good at fighting. Zhao Xun was relieved of these people's abilities. What he was worried about was that although these people were powerful generals, they were impulsive and were afraid that when the war was fierce, they became more and more stubborn and fought against Li Conggu. Once such a result occurred, it would be better to win if they were defeated.
Zhao Xun can accept a draw, but cannot accept defeat, because the consequences of defeat are something Zhao Xun cannot bear.
The two said something, and Li Xun said goodbye and left.
Wang Qili stood in a corner, looking at Li Xun's departure back, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Until Li Xun disappeared from his sight, Wang Qili stepped into the hall.
"Since the Emperor."
Wang Qili bowed half-kneel.
"Flat."
Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "Has the matter been investigated clearly?"
Wang Qili said in a deep voice: "Report to the emperor, Wang Chengjiang has already recruited all of them."
"explain."
"According to Wang Chengjiang's confession, he didn't know about that... and had never shown it to anyone."
Wang Qili replied.
After hearing Wang Qili's words, Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Do you believe it?"
Wang Qili lowered his head: "I dare not make any guesses."
Zhao Xun squinted his eyes, with a cold murderous intent on his face.
After the Guanghua Temple incident broke out, many people were implicated. Zhu Zhengguo, Jiang Daxiong and other groups of generals from the inspection institute were arrested and imprisoned. Zhao Xun originally wanted to deal with these people seriously. Of course, it was not to say that they were all killed, but some people would definitely pay a heavy price for this.
The situation in Hebei suddenly changed and Li Xun was re-engaged, and things immediately turned around. After Li Xun's plea, Zhao Xun was originally planning to let go of some people in order to appease Li Xun's heart and let him do things for himself.
Silitai is a direct emperor and independent interrogation yamen. Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne and used this institution to kill too many people. Everyone was extremely afraid and afraid of Silitai.
Some people, when they are good, are good brothers, loyal and thrust into each other. Once they encounter something, they are humans or ghosts, and they can immediately distinguish clearly.
The generals of the inspection institute arrested in the Silitai, a few of them, were exposed out of fear and self-protection, and secretly told them that they had claimed that they had made meritorious service and relieved their sins.
Someone secretly told Wang Chengjiang that in the process of pacifying the coup, he used public welfare to help others, took advantage of the opportunity of raiding his home, fed his personal pockets, and snatched property.
After controlling the situation, Zhao Xun ordered the Imperial Army and the troops of the Inspection House to search the houses of those involved in the coup and arrest all their families. Wang Chengjiang happened to be responsible for the investigation and arrest, Zhao Bolin, the confidant counselor of the Wing King Zhao He, and his mansion.
The man did not catch it, but a lot of gold, silver and treasures were found. Wang Chengjiang became greedy at that time and divided all the money into three parts, one part, one part was left by himself, and one part equally to his soldiers. The last part was given to his immediate superior Zhu Zhengguo after a while.
An official once filed a complaint with Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun knew about these things, but he did not punish these people, turned a blind eye and refused to deal with them.
