Chapter 137 Promotion and Demotion (12)

Complaint?

Zhao Zhi asked curiously: "Who do you want to tell me?"

"Wang Fan."

This name is very strange to Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi looked at Mr. Mu, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Mr. Mu quickly bowed and said softly, "It's Wang Renzi's second son."

Speaking of this, Mr. Mu secretly glanced at Li Xun and then said, "Wang Fan is now the commander of the Inspection Institute."

I see.

Zhao Zhi understood, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and pointed to Li Xun in the audience: "Take it up!"

Mr. Mu went down to get the memorial and returned to hand it to Zhao Zhi.

Li Xun left the commander of the inspection agency and once elected Zhu Zhengguo. Zhao Zhi promised to consider it. However, as the king of a country, there were so many things. Zhao Zhi's subsequent thoughts were all on the Battle of Longyou. He had no time to think about these small things, so... Zhao Zhi forgot about Li Xun.

The battle of Longyou was carried out a few years ago. Li Zhong had a complete strategic concept and secretly wrote to Zhao Zhi, hoping to get support. Zhao Zhi then asked Liu Jie to discuss it. Finally, he made up his mind to agree to Li Zhong's strategic plan and concealed all court officials. Even Yang Daosi was unaware of it, because once he knew it, with his cautious personality, he would never agree to Li Zhong's adventure plan. Of course, the road was already done. When the battle of Longyou broke out and Li Zhong led his army south, Yang Daosi knew it later, but he could no longer stop it. Of course, Zhao Zhi was under great pressure. If Longyou was defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhao Zhi himself might not have been pulled down from the throne, but his reputation might be ruined.

This has to be said that Zhao Zhi is also a very decisive emperor.

After reading the memorial, Zhao Zhi did not have too many expressions on his face. In his opinion, such a thing was nothing, and the victim was two brothel women.

Li Xun observed Zhao Zhi's expression and saw that he was not angry after reading the memorial. His face was still calm and he was suddenly disappointed. It seemed that something like this was not enough to change Zhao Zhi's emotions.

Zhao Zhi put down the memorial, looked at Li Xun, and said indifferently: "Gou'er, are you doing this for those two women?"

In the capital, it is rumored that Li Xun had some affinity with several famous brothels, and Zhao Zhi also heard about it.

Li Xun quickly explained: "Uncle, my relationship with those two women is just an ordinary friend, and it is definitely not as rumored."

Zhao Zhi did not accuse Li Xun of anything. He looked at Li Xun with a serious expression: "Gou'er, do you value the Inspection Institute or is it just a pure personal grudge with Wang Fan?"

Li Xun's face turned aside and quickly explained that Zhao Zhi hated the generals' abusing power and holding troops. If he did not explain well, he would give Zhao Zhi an illusion that he was targeting Wang Fan for the military power of the inspector's office. In this way, Zhao Zhi would definitely be very displeased.

Li Xun did not hide anything and told the whole story in detail. After saying that, Li Xun looked angry and said with resentment: "I have no grudges and no grudges with this Wang Fan, but he is targeting me everywhere. It's simply outrageous. Now that the handle is in my hands, how can I make him feel better?"

After hearing what happened, looking at Li Xun's angry expression, the seriousness on Zhao Zhi's face dissipated, and instead had a smile, he smiled lightly: "Wang Fan did that for the sake of his buddies' loyalty. Now you do this, isn't that the same?"

Li Xun said dissatisfied: "I have never provoked them on my own initiative, and Wang Fan did so obviously, without any measure at all, which is far inferior to me."

Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, I understand this matter, I will deal with it as appropriate."

Zhao Zhi has figured out the reason for the whole thing, which is the fighting behavior of the two young people. Of course, Wang Fan has done something and has violated the law. Since Zhao Zhi knows it, he will not ignore it.

Li Xun asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what are you going to deal with Wang Fan?"

"I have my own opinions, no need to ask, please step back. I am very busy and there are still many things to deal with."

Zhao Zhi waved his hand, lowered his head, and continued to handle his official duties.

There was no choice but to bow and retreat.

When I came to the palace, I naturally had to go and see my aunt Li Yi. Unfortunately, I realized that Li Yi and a few good concubines in the harem today went to Longchi to raft and could not come back at dusk.

Li Xun was about to leave, but on the way, he met Wang Zhong, the head of the Ministry of Personnel. The two of them were old acquaintances and had a good relationship.

"Mr. Wang, many people are gone, so I'm fine."

Li Xun hurriedly went up to say hello.

Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Li Xun, you haven't seen each other for many days, and your spirit is even more eye-catching."

"Excessive award, ex-price."

Li Xun was polite and asked immediately: "Sir Wang is going to see the emperor?"

"It was the emperor who summoned the Tubo envoys to come to discuss the marriage."

Li Xun said in surprise: "Mr. Wang, isn't this the Ministry of Rites' business? You can also take care of it."

Wang Zhong laughed and said, "I was just transferred to the Ministry of Rites as the host and guest order three days ago."

Li Xun glanced at Wang Zhong in surprise. The host and guest order were senior officials of the fourth rank and had a place in the court. Wang Zhong was of average origin and had no major background. However, he was able to be promoted from a seventh rank and a small official of the Ministry of War, a seventh rank to a fourth rank within three to five years. The promotion speed was extremely fast.

"Li Xun, let's talk again if you have time. The emperor summons him, so he dare not delay."

"Okay, I'll invite you to drink when you have time."

The two chatted for a few words and said goodbye to each other.

Princess Shuoyi originally wanted to marry Tubo, but when she was about to reach Huizhou, the battle of Longyou broke out, and the marriage team had to retreat to Jingzhou. However, Zhao Zhi did not ask Princess Shuoyi to return to Fengjing, but stayed in Jingzhou and waited for instructions.

Faced with such a situation, Princess Shuoyi was extremely excited and the two countries officially broke out. In her opinion, her marriage with Tubo Zanpu was ruined. Unfortunately, the politics was changing. Today's enemy may shake hands again tomorrow. This is the case with the Great Jin and Tubo. Although the Great Jin achieved a brilliant victory in the war, it only caused Tubo to suffer heavy losses and would not destroy its country. After the war, Tubo Zanpu expressed his apology and was willing to regard the Emperor Zhao Zhi of the Great Jin, treat him with the courtesy of his adopted son, and ask for marriage again. The princess who married him would become his second Zanmeng.

Zhao Zhi was satisfied with Tubo's attitude and discussed it with the ministers. Finally, he decided to accept Tubo's Zamp's request and continue to marry Princess Shuoyi with Tubo.

Li Xun shook his head, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. After a big circle, Princess Shuoyi could not escape the fate of being close to Tubo.
