Chapter six hundred and twenty one year five

Zheng Chun, who stayed in Wuzhou, has been worried and cautious in the past two months. His emotions are not about worrying about Li Xun's battle situation in the Western Regions. There are literary strategies such as Sima Tu, Fan Zhongyun, and more than a dozen generals such as Zhao Wei and Shan Qiu. Such a powerful lineup will not have any major problems even if it is ineffective.

Zheng Chun's concern came from Zhao Tong, the king of Yiqu. After he arrived, he wandered around the seven prefectures in the western Longyou area, met with officials from all over the country, asked about local government affairs and civil affairs, and asked about Li Xun's good or bad official positions several times. Most people were quite sure of Li Xun's governance in the seven prefectures in the western Longyou area in the past few years and spoke more beautifully, but some people also spoke ill of slander and slander Li Xun.

Zhao Tong has not made any moves and is quite polite to Zheng Chun. Zheng Chun is deeply uneasy about this. The biting dog does not bark. The more Zhao Tong does this, the more he shows that he will come to Wuzhou on his trip, and he will definitely not just come to see it. He will definitely have an ulterior motive.

Zheng Chun naturally sent people to the Western Regions to inform Li Xun several times. Li Xun only answered four words and waited for the change.

Li Xun thought very well. He stayed in the Western Regions and did not return to Wuzhou on the grounds of war. Even if Zhao Tong wanted to do something and could not find the main master, he would have no choice. Even if something happened, Li Xun returned to Wuzhou from the Western Regions, and at least he had time to turn around.

Just as Li Xun was dealing with various affairs in the Western Regions, the news of the Wing King Zhao He was assassinated and finally spread to the Western Regions.

The assassination of Zhao He caused a sensation in the court. Zhao Zhi, who learned about this, was extremely angry and ordered the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to conduct a thorough investigation on the matter. No matter who is involved, he would be severely punished.

Zhao Zhi's decree has just been issued, and it belongs to the official of the Yang family and the Yiwang party, and attacks the crown prince Zhao Xun as the target.

Liu Xie stood there quietly and informed the latest news from Fengjing and Wuzhou in detail.

Li Xun remained silent and his face was very heavy.

The assassination of Zhao He has become more and more intense. The prince Zhao Xun obviously has no room for defense. He took this opportunity to attack the anti-Crown Prince Party headed by Yang. The prince Party was completely passive in the court. It was nothing that was a trivial matter before, but it was also infinitely magnified by this east wind. Among the prince Party, some low-level officials were first brought down and their momentum became more and more prosperous. Ten days after Zhao He's assassination, a heavyweight was finally taken down.

The former commander of the left army of the imperial guards and general of Dingguo, Wang Renpu, was dismissed from office and imprisoned.

Wang Renpu is the younger brother of Wang Renzi and his mother. The two of them are both literary and military. They complement each other. The Wang family has achieved glory in the hands of the two of them. The relationship between the two brothers was naturally extremely close at the beginning. However, in the 15th year of Guangyuan, the White Turban Army Rebellion broke out. Wang Renpu was unable to lead the army and was impeached by many court officials. At that time, Wang Renzi was in a position to avoid suspicion and was indeed a command error of Wang Renpu, which led to the defeat. There was nothing to say. Therefore, in the resolution of the Political Affairs Hall, Wang Renpu did not speak for his younger brother, which eventually led to Wang Renpu's military power being seized. Wang Renpu was extremely dissatisfied with this. The two quarreled many times over this matter, and the brothers turned against each other completely. Wang Renpu moved out of the Wang family and set up his own business.

When Zhao He was assassinated, Wang Renpu's fate was finally implicated in Wang Renzi. His position as a military governor was removed and transferred to Longyou West Road as an interview envoy. When Li Xun was also the military governor and observation envoy of Longyou West Road, Wang Renzi's interview envoy was just a false title. Such punishment was actually not heavy compared to his brother Wang Renpu, but it was an extremely heavy blow to Wang Renzi. His dream of restoring the prime minister was completely shattered and his political life was basically over.

After the Second Longyou War, Liu Zhigu was dismissed from the position of prime minister. At that time, Wang Renzi had a very high call for the restoration of prime minister, but in the end, beyond everyone's expectations, Wang Renzi was appointed as the military governor of the North Road of Longyou, the Gate, the Shan and the Clan. This reward was actually very heavy. Compared with the position of prime minister, it was not much different. However, Wang Renzi was a little disappointed. He was a civil servant, and his mind was in the court and in the decisions of major affairs in the world, not the local area. For him, Wang Renzi did not value military power.

Therefore, after taking office as the governor of the North Longyou Road, Wang Renzi wrote to the court several times, hoping to transfer back to Fengjing to serve on the grounds of being unfamiliar with military affairs. This incident caused quite a response in the court. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that Wang Renzi's heart was not in the place, but in Fengjing, and in the Political Affairs Hall.

Wang Renzi wrote several letters, but Zhao Zhi always refused and tried to keep him. Obviously, he did not want Wang Renzi to return to Fengjing. At least now, he did not want Wang Renzi to be famous and have made great contributions. He once served as the high position in the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall. At this time, Zhao Zhi was really not able to arrange for him to be transferred back to Fengjing.

It would be fine if things were originally like this, but it was no big deal. Since Zhao Zhi disagreed, it was good that Wang Renzi continued to be his governor. The bad thing was that Wang Renzi's younger brother, Wang Renpu, general of Dingguo, Wang Renpu was a staunch supporter of the prince Zhao Xun. After the assassination of Zhao He broke out, Zhao Zhi was furious. In order to calm the disputes and chaos in the court, he was obviously preparing to suppress Zhao Xun. Wang Renpu and Wang Renzi are brothers, one of them was killed, and the other was obviously inevitably involved.

Li Xun was silent for a long time and finally sighed: "It seems that Zhao Tong, Zhao He and others have been planning for a long time, so we are still careless."

Sima Tu shook his head: "Lord, such a crisis is difficult to avoid. His Highness of Qi was granted the position of crown prince, and his status and power were greatly improved. But at the same time, he also officially walked on the front desk and went to the open. The Wing King seemed to have fallen below, but he could hide in the dark, and he was unable to defend against it at night!"

Fan Zhongyun said indifferently: "Zhao Tong stayed in Wuzhou for nearly two months and has been holding his troops. Obviously, he wanted to numb us. Now, the assassination of the Wing King Zhao He broke out, and Zhao Tong immediately attacked. This incident is too coincidental. It seems that they have planned everything long ago."

Li Xun was shocked and heard some implications from Fan Zhongyun's words: "What do you mean is that the assassination of the Wing King Zhao He is likely to be directed and acted by himself?"

Li Xun thought of this soon because she had done such a thing herself.

Chen He also guessed something and said, "Since it may be a trick directed and acted by King Wing, it is better to write to His Majesty the Emperor to strictly enforce this matter."

Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "This is the other party's open conspiracy. There is no conclusive evidence and random speculation, which will arouse the emperor's hatred."

Li Xun nodded, and what Fan Zhongyun said made sense.

Sima Tu whispered: "Now is not the time to discuss these things. Zhao Tong has already started to move in Wuzhou. The lord should return to Wuzhou immediately and manage the overall situation. Never let Zhao Tong mess up our foundation."
