On the way out of the palace, he met Li Xiao. He was also implicated in the Baihuayuan incident last time, but in the end it was found out that he was just ordinary friends with those people, rarely went to Baihuayuan, and had not done anything harmful.

He was detained for more than half a month and then released.

"Li Xiao, long time no see, what have you been doing lately!"

Li Xun is not that stingy, and there is no life-or-death feud between the two. They just had a fight, and Li Xun won. The incident in Baihuayuan was also thanks to Li Xiao's protection of Chen Shishi, Xia Zhi and other women.

This way he avoided being humiliated. After this incident, Li Xun felt better about Li Xiao. In the final closing report, he said some good things to Li Xiao, otherwise he would not have been released so quickly.

"No...nothing."

Li Xiao looked at Li Xun, with a hint of fear on his face.

Li Xiao is a very proud man, with his eyes above his head. His father is a prince, and he is the sworn brother of the current emperor. With this kind of background, few people in the capital can match him, which makes him domineering and bully.

I was used to it, but after meeting Li Xun, I suffered a big loss, and more than once, I was beaten severely. Grandma personally went to the palace to complain about Li Xun. What happened in the end? The beating was in vain, Li Xun

Li Xun had nothing to do. The Baihuayuan incident broke out. With such a strong background, he was finally fired by Li Xun. He was deeply implicated. Many people lost their official positions because of this, and several princes and nobles were even demoted.

The common people were imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple.

Recently, Li Xiao even heard that his good brother Wang Fan, after becoming the commander of the Procuratorate, said something to dampen Li Xun's spirit and vent his anger on behalf of his good brothers. But in the end, he ended up giving himself up.

After taking a ride in, he received dozens of blows and was dismissed from his official position.

Through these incidents, Li Xiao was really afraid of Li Xun and did not dare to be arrogant in front of him.

Li Xun stepped forward and patted Li Xiao on the shoulder, laughing and saying: "We don't know each other before fighting. Last time you helped Chen Shishi and Xia Zhi, they asked me to convey their gratitude on their behalf."

Li Xiao shook his head: "I hate using force when it comes to women. I'm so ashamed of what they did."

Li Xiao is telling the truth. Although he occasionally teases women, he will never use force. So essentially, Li Xiao is just a playboy and not a bad person.

"That's right. Women are meant to be taken care of. It's wonderful to be in love with each other. What's the point of forcing a man?"

Li Xun smiled and said: "You have time to drink together?"

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded, with a smile on his face: "I will pay you a visit when I have time."

Li Xun said goodbye and was about to leave. Li Xiao hesitated and called out to him: "Li Xun, my sister may be coming back soon."

Li Xun turned around: "Li Qingying?"

Li Xiao said: "My mother is in poor health and is not used to the environment in Anbei. She plans to return to Beijing to recuperate. My sister will also return with her."

"If your sister comes back, send someone to notify her and I'll treat her to dinner." Li Xun nodded. Li Qingying may have a bad temper, but she has a straightforward temper. She says what she says and never beats around the bush. Li Xun prefers to interact with people like this.

They had to deal with each other, and the two of them had experienced the Battle of Longyou together, so they had shared hardships. When she came back, Li Xun would naturally take the initiative to take over her.

Li Xun left.

Looking at Li Xun's back, Li Xiao sighed and continued to move forward with the eunuchs in the palace. He was already quite old and idle all day long. After all, there was no solution. Li Zhong came back this time and mentioned it to Zhao Zhi.

, I want to transfer Li Xiao to the army to get more experience. If Li Xiao is allowed to continue like this, he will probably become useless in the long run.

Li Zhong was a man all his life and was not a womanizer. He only had an old wife and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Li Wei, the second daughter Li Qingying, and the youngest son Li Xiao. Among them, Li Xiao and Li Qingying had the best relationship. Although the two siblings were far apart

Although they live thousands of miles away, they often exchange letters. The last time they were beaten up by Li Xun, Li Xiao told Li Qingying about the incident through letters. Li Qingying promised to avenge him, but a few days ago, Li Qingying wrote back, saying that during the battle of Longyou, Li Xun

Although his behavior is ordinary, he is by no means a domineering person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Let him not continue to have trouble with Li Xun.

............

In the sixth year of Taiping, August.

Zhao Zhi issued an order to appoint Li Xun as the governor of Chengzhou and granted him the title of General Wuyuan of the third rank.

After the appointment was issued, Li Xun packed his bags and waited for the order from the Ministry of War to be issued. He immediately rushed to Chengzhou to take up his post. Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than half a month, there was no movement. Li Xun went to the palace to find his aunt Li Yi to inquire about the news.

Only then did they learn that after Li Xun was appointed governor of Chengzhou, Li Yi approached Zhao Zhi and said that he was choosing a marriage for Li Xun. After Zhao Zhi found out, he sent a message to the Ministry of War and suppressed Li Xun's acceptance documents for the time being.

Fan Zhongyun's home.

Li Xun and Fan Zhongyun were chatting while eating.

"Lao Fan, I'm going to Chengzhou, you should go with me!"

Fan Zhongyun shook his head and refused directly: "I won't go."

Li Xun said angrily: "Lao Fan, you once said that you would come out to help me at critical moments. If you don't go with me, I will always feel a little panicked when I am alone in Chengzhou."

Fan Zhongyun took a sip of wine and said: "There has been no war in Shu for many years, and Shuzhou Jiedushi Yang Dao'an is sitting with a heavy army. It is very peaceful there. Besides, Chengzhou is only a small state, with only a few thousand soldiers. We

It's useless to go there, it's better to stay in the capital and be more comfortable."

Li Xun drank wine and frowned in silence.

Looking at Li Xun, Fan Zhongyun said with a smile: "Your trip to Chengzhou this time is just a transition. You will come back in a year and a half. By then, the emperor will probably put you to good use. If necessary at that time,

I'll come out and help you."

Li Xun nodded and said nothing more.

Time flies and October is here soon.

Twenty-two-year-old Zhao Xun finally got married. It was relatively late to get married at this age. What surprised Li Xun was that Zhao Xun's wife was actually Yu Wenzhen's eldest daughter, and Yu Wenzhen, although now

He has reached the rank of general and has been given the title of Duke Xiao Guogong. His ancestors have many officials, and he is considered to be a Shangguan family. However, his ancestors have not produced any celebrities or high officials, and they are not considered to be a famous family. Yu Wenzhen can climb to such a status, and his family is not

He didn't give him much help, but Yu Wenzhen also had his characteristics, which was sincerity and loyalty to Zhao Zhi. It is said that Li Yi had already chosen Zhao Xun's marriage partner, but was finally rejected by Zhao Zhi and decided on it.

Yu Wenzhen's daughter.

As for Li Xun, a few months later, he did not go to Chengzhou to take office. Instead, he went on frequent blind dates. The blind dates were all chosen by Li Yi. Most of them were from well-known families, powerful and had good ideas. Unfortunately...

...

In the sixth year of Taiping, it was the tenth day of the tenth month.

That is to say, at the court meeting on this day, dozens of officials from Yushitai jointly submitted a petition to impeach Li Xun, saying that he was arrogant, behaved inappropriately, and entered the filthy place of a brothel in vain. There were many rumors in the capital that he was

Romantic affairs will damage the reputation of court officials, and are even suspected of raising dead soldiers privately and befriending soldiers.

Zhao Zhi suppressed the matter and ignored it.

October 15th.
