Chapter six hundred and eighty second sudden change nineteen

Zhao Xun had great ambitions in his heart. He had a very urgent change of emotions about the current situation of the Jin Dynasty. Zhao Xun showed an unexpected enthusiasm for those who were extremely talented in economic aspects such as Lu Bojiang. This is why, although Lu Bojiang came from a noble family, he was still attracted by Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun knew very well that if he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would definitely be inseparable from Lu Bojiang if he wanted to realize his ambitions and realize tax reform.

Lu Bojiang was also very excited and inspired at the beginning of Zhao Xun's enthusiasm and ambitions. He felt that he had to meet a wise master before he could finally have a place to use his skills. However, as the two of them got a deeper understanding, there were differences between Lu Bojiang and Zhao Xun on issues such as finance and taxation.

The differences between the two did not mean that Zhao Xun opposed Lu Bojiang's ideas and plans. In fact, Zhao Xun highly recognized and praised Lu Bojiang's fiscal and tax reform plan, but his ambition and goals far exceeded Lu Bojiang's ideas. On this basis, Zhao Xun increased the fiscal and tax reform plan planned by Lu Bojiang several times, which far exceeded Lu Bojiang's predetermined goals.

Too much is as bad as it is not enough. Lu Bojiang sets the goal to progress and achieve it step by step. Zhao Xun disagrees with this. Lu Bojiang persuades him many times, but Zhao Xun's inner thoughts are already very firm and it is difficult to understand.

These situations made Lu Bojiang feel worried in his heart, but he was unable to change it.

"Bai Jiang, why are you in a divine way?"

Zhao Xun's voice interrupted Lu Bojiang's contemplation.

Lu Bojiang looked at Zhao Xun and smiled and said, "I just thought about some details about fiscal and tax reform, but I was a little dazed."

Zhao Xun nodded, stroking his hands and admiring, "Concentrating on things but not knowing external things, and always worrying about the country, this is a national scholar. If I can get Lu Baijiang, it is God's kindness and reward."

Lu Bojiang was extremely moved by receiving such high evaluation, but he could not accept these things, so he quickly stood up and bowed and said, "Your Highness is so appreciative, I am really ashamed, I am afraid that I will let down Your Highness's expectations."

Zhao Xun waved his hand: "You, my king and minister, who work together, will definitely be able to go with the flow and move forward bravely."

Lu Bojiang was humble and courteous again and again.

Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu looked at him, their eyes full of jealousy.

"Old man, you're too heavy, right? Look at what you've beaten my face."

Li Xun had a bruised nose and swollen face. On the way out of the palace, many people pointed and talked a lot when they saw him.

Li Mancang said angrily: "You kid deserves it. With a little success, you are so arrogant and domineering. How many people will you be jealous of this?"

Li Xun said dissatisfiedly: "Then don't slap you in the face, how can I go out to see someone like this?"

Li Mancang was furious and raised his foot and kicked Li Xun on the butt, shouting: "What else do you want now? So many people impeach you in the court. If it weren't for your aunt's help, you would probably be in great trouble."

"After going back, stay at home honestly. If you dare to do anything, I won't beat you to death."

"Okay, okay, old man, listen to you all, okay? Don't be angry."

Li Xun hugged Li Mancang and said softly, calming his anger.

There are some things that Li Xun would not tell Li Mancang, and he couldn't understand even if he said it. The father and son's thoughts and lifestyles are no longer on the same track.

Li Xun was transferred back to Fengjing by an edict, and was granted the title of Duke of Zhao, the Left Minister of War, and the Assistant to the Political Affairs Office. It seemed that the reward was very generous, but Sima Tu, Fan Zhongyun and others advised Li Xun not to take these official positions seriously. Their meaning was very simple. The capital had to go back, but it would be better to throw away the rewarded official positions.

Li Xun's victory in the Western Regions was famous all over the world for a time, but at the same time he was suspicious of Emperor Zhao Zhi. He was eventually seized from Longyou's military power and transferred back to the capital, and was granted a series of rewards such as Duke of Zhao, left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and deputy minister of the government affairs. It seems that he is extremely kind and rewarded, but from another aspect, these are just compensations for Li Xun's contributions. The two official positions of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War are already at the center, and they are both in high positions of real power. In addition, Li Xun's prestige and influence in Longyou, returning to the capital can be said to be a step further. However, Zhao Zhi transferred Li Xun back to the capital in order to seize his military power and limit Li Xun's progress. Now such an arrangement is contradictory from a deeper level.

Since that's the case, why did Zhao Zhi do this? I'm afraid it's just to act like a person, which is to appease Li Xun's emotions, and to let others know that although he seized Li Xun's military power, he still trusted him very much and would still reuse him. This is considered a kind of protection. Zhao Zhi's approach shows an attitude that he seized Li Xun's military power to prevent and restrict, not that he has any negative thoughts about Li Xun.

Over the years, Li Xun has been promoted to the governor of Wuzhou in the Battle of Jiangnan, and after the First Longyou War, and then fully controlled the entire western part of Longyou. Judging from Li Xun's experience, this rate of rise is rare. Zhao Zhi has been the first in the dynasty for more than 20 years. Even Li Zhong, from the intermediate general to the final position of the governor of Anbei, took nearly ten years. Although Li Zhong fully took over the military and political power of Anbei, it was not long before Li Zhong took charge of the military and political power of Anbei, the corresponding official position was promoted step by step. Unlike Li Xun, who had just three or four years of hard work, he directly took charge of the military and political power of an area.

For many people, this situation is hard to come by, but Li Xun can easily get it. This actually has nothing to do with Li Xun's efforts and contributions. Zhao Zhi gave him this opportunity and opportunity. At the same time, from another aspect, Li Xun's rise is too fast. He has no experience in working in the local area. From low to high, his time is too short and his foundation is too shallow. In the officialdom of the Jin Dynasty, he attaches great importance to qualifications, and this kind of thing takes time to accumulate and settle. The Jin Dynasty has an unwritten unspoken rule, which has existed since the founding of the country. If you want to enter politics, you want to

The minister is a prime minister, and he must go through the local government. Without the experience of being an official, it is impossible to enter the political affairs hall to be a prime minister. Li Xun was transferred from one height to another, from military position to civil position. This is not a new challenge and beginning for Li Xun, but a potential huge danger, because Li Xun's foundation in the court is only the crown prince Zhao Xun and the emperor Zhao Zhi, but his return to Beijing this time was originally operated by the two behind him. Li Xun served as the left minister of the Ministry of War and the two official positions of political affairs. It is not a good thing, but will be jointly attacked by various factions of the court.
