Chapter 357 Confrontation (4)

Everyone present already understood the intentions of Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan. It is very simple. Don’t you want the territory and military power of Wuzhou? Let me give it to you, but you have to hand over the territory and military power of Hedong. Perhaps the King of Qi will not get any benefits from it, but you must never think about it.

Seeing Zhao Zhi's face clearly showing signs of intention, the Wing King's mood suddenly became heavier and felt deeply anxious. Hedong is the foundation of his hard work for many years, and it is the courage to dare to go against the wind. If he loses Hedong, what abilities and qualifications do he have to fight for what he desires?

The ministers who supported the Wing King saw that the situation was unfavorable, many people were eager to speak but wanted to try and wanted to stand up and make suggestions, but in the end, they endured it. Four prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall had spoken out. Their participation now will only lead to more people being involved and a large-scale debate. Liu Zhigu, Liu Zhongyuan and Li Zhong were very close to him. When the Yang clan remained neutral, their strength in the court was far stronger than Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng did not want to expand the situation, so it would not do him any benefit.

Zhao Zhi listened to the words of Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan and was moved. After returning from visiting Jiangnan, King Zhao Shuo reported Zhao Baian in detail about the situation. Zhao Zhi was dissatisfied with this, but this dissatisfaction was only aimed at some of the defects in Zhao Baian's character and the chaos in his private life. He had no doubts about his loyalty.

Although Zhao Baian is the prince and his surname is Zhao, his surname was given by Pingzong later and has no blood relationship with the Zhao royal family, which makes many things impossible. Therefore, Zhao Zhi was very relieved to Zhao Baian. Zhao Baian has been in charge of Jiangnan for many years and has always been respectful and loyal to the court and Zhao Zhi, and has returned Zhao Zhi's kindness to his charity.

But some things need to be looked at from two aspects. Zhao Zhi restsatisfied with Jiangnan because there is Zhao Baian there, but how old is Zhao Baian? If a person who is nearly 60 years old, who should Jiangnan be handed over to? Anyway, Zhao Zhi does not trust any of the people under Zhao Baian, including his sons. In other words, his trust in his heart is far inferior to Zhao Baian. How could Zhao Zhi be assured to hand over Jiangnan to them? So some things Zhao Zhi has already thought of in the future.

In the past two years, Zhao Boan's two sons, two sons-in-law, and several confidant generals were transferred back to the capital or to other places by Zhao Zhi for various reasons.

The potential threat from Jiangnan has been removed. Zhao Zhi was planning to let Zhao Baian work in Jiangnan for a few years and was not in a hurry to transfer him away. However, the suggestions of Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan made Zhao Zhi very moved. He suddenly had an idea to ask Li Xun to go to Jiangnan, Zhao Baian to Hedong, and the Yiwang to Longyou, and each side was settled. This was also a good layout.

Li Zhong stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, transfer Zhao Bai'an to Hedong, and then assist the two veterans Zhao Cheng and Huang, the land of Hedong should be foolproof."

Zhao Zhi nodded. This personnel arrangement is indeed good.

"Li Zhong, Zhao Cheng has been working in Anbei for many years and was suddenly transferred to Hedong. Is he used to it?"

Li Zhong smiled and said: "The military general's job is to command the troops. Anbei and Hedong are no different."

Zhao Cheng was originally Li Zhong's personal soldier. He followed him for decades and was the confidant of Li Xun. Now he serves as the deputy envoy of Anbei Jiedu and the governor of Kuozhou.

In the whole of Anbei, in addition to Li Zhong, there are several high-profile generals, such as Li Zhong's son Li Wei, deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, Hong Chenghao, governor of Chizhou, and Zhao Cheng. After Li Zhong left, Ma Wu took over as the position of Jiedushi of Anbei. The military generals are different from civil officials. What the military generals need is absolute command and authority. Therefore, no matter whether they are any military generals, the first thing they have to do to either side is to eliminate dissidents and arrange their own confidants. Ma Wu is not included, but he is concerned about Li Zhong's reputation, so his methods naturally dare not be too strong.

The biggest advantage of Zhao Cheng is that he is brave in combat, fearless and fearless, but his shortcomings are also very obvious. He is not good at interpersonal relationships, is too violent in character, and likes to scold people, especially with Li Zhong's eldest son Li Wei. [! iQi Literature     …@Novels are better and faster]

In his early years, one of Li Wei's concubines was wrongly killed by Zhao Cheng for some reason. For this reason, Li Wei once assassinated Zhao Cheng with a sword. The latter thought he was right and fought back, breaking Li Wei's appearance. Since then, the two of them have formed a deadly enemy and fought several times. In the end, Li Zhong came forward and forced to suppress them. Only then did Li Wei and Zhao Cheng barely reconcile, but the relationship is good or bad, so there is no need to say more.

After Ma Wu took office as the governor of Anbei, he suppressed a group of people and promoted a group of people. Zhao Cheng was Li Zhong's old man. If he didn't look at monks and Buddha's faces, Ma Wu would not touch Zhao Cheng's mind. If it was bad, it would be bad. In order to safely control Anbei's military power, Ma Wu valued Li Wei very much. His position as deputy governor of Anbei was a letter to Zhao Zhi several times, and Ma Wu tried his best to win over it. The relationship between the two was very hot.

There are many virtuous people around the superiors, but there are also many villains. Li Wei may not be considered a villain, but he has a personal grudge with Zhao Cheng. How could he say good things about Zhao Cheng in front of Ma Wu? After a while, Hong Chenghao and a group of Li Zhong's most confidant elderly people were valued, but Zhao Cheng was left aside and was excluded and became the target of suppression. Of course, looking at Li Zhong's face, Ma Wu would not do too much, but some small measures would inevitably be avoided. How could Zhao Cheng's life in Anbei be easy?

For this reason, Zhao Cheng wrote to Li Zhong several times to express his anger. What can Li Zhong do? On one hand, he was his subordinate who had been with him for many years, and on the other hand, his own son, and no one could help. In the end, Li Zhong could only comfort Zhao Cheng with kind words and said that if he had the chance, he would be transferred from Anbei and would not be so cowardly.

Zhao Zhi nodded and smiled and said, "Zhao Cheng is your old subordinate. You naturally know his abilities better than me."

At this point, anyone can see that. Zhao Zhi was obviously moved and agreed with Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan's proposal. Zhao He's face was extremely difficult to see, but he couldn't say anything now. After all, he had been in Hedong for seven or eight years. Now he was openly discussing personnel transfers and arrangements in the court. If Zhao He objected, it would easily bring an illusion to others. Hedong is my territory, and outsiders cannot go in casually, and Zhao He doesn't care about it. But if Zhao Zhi has this illusion, it will be a big trouble, so he can only keep silent, but his eyes are looking at Zhan Tai Yiheng and Xiao Zheng from time to time, with anxiety in his eyes.

Xiao Zheng said at this time: "Your Majesty, it's still early. Are you going to stay for some issues that have not been discussed next time?"

Zhao Zhi smiled, glanced at Zhao He, and nodded, "I will discuss the matter between Hedong and Wuzhou next time."

Say it, Zhao Zhi got up and left.

"Sanchao."

Liu Congxi announced the severance of the court and then quickly left with Zhao Zhi.

"Give me a greeting to Your Majesty."

The ministers bowed and watched Zhao Zhi leave.

Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan looked at each other, without saying anything, and did not look at Zhao He who was beside him, turned around and walked away slowly.

Xiao Zheng glanced at Zhao He and his brows were also frowning. There were so many people here that he couldn't say anything, so he also took a step away.

The ministers left one after another, in groups of three or five, while walking, whispering. Today's court meeting was very exciting for them.

Zhao He's expression returned to normal at this moment. He glanced at King Qi Zhao Xun, then turned around and left.
