Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapters come and go quickly

"Lord, the King of Chu has made up his mind to die and is irreversible. We should make plans early."

After leaving the room, Sima Tu immediately whispered to Li Xun.

"What can I do with a person who is determined to die?"

Li Xun smiled bitterly on his face. Before he came, Li Xun knew that this job would probably not be so simple. Now it seems that he is really foresighted. King Zhao Shuo of Chu was determined to die and had not eaten for five days. He is very likely to not be able to hold on to Fengjing and die on the way. The King of Chu has not been convicted yet, and a prince died in his own hands. Li Xun thought about it and felt a bitter heart.

Sima Tu whispered: "The King of Chu cannot die at our hands, otherwise it will be very troublesome and will give others an excuse to criticize him."

Li Xun asked, "What do you think you should do?"

Sima Tu thought for a while and said, "Forcibly feed the King of Chu, and then speed up the return to Fengjing. As long as the King of Chu is sent back to Fengjing alive, the subsequent matters have nothing to do with us."

Li Xun frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, sighing helplessly: "This is the only way."

As the two of them spoke, dozens of people came towards us. The leader was a man in his fifties. He was elegant in temperament, but he had a murderous aura that only military generals could have.

"General Li, I didn't inform me when I came. Do you look down on me?

This man, who is nearly fifty years old, is Yun Ji, the governor of Puzhou.

In this era, although Zhao Zhi's vigorous rectification and impact have led to more poor children entering the career path, there are very few people who can truly reach a high position, and Yun Ji is one of these few.

Yun Ji was born in poverty, and his father was a low-level military officer. Influenced by his father, Yun Ji joined the army since he was a child, made achievements, and glorified his ancestors. Unfortunately, Yun Ji was too weak from birth and was sick. Although he was familiar with military books and thoroughly read military strategies, he could not practice martial arts. Fortunately, Zhao Zhi reopened the martial arts examination since the third year of Guangyuan. Yun Ji received news and went to Beijing to take the exam. He used a Longyou military strategy to govern the military strategy, which attracted Liu Jie's attention and praise, and strongly recommended it to Zhao Zhi. After reading Yun Ji's Longyou military strategy, he also praised him very much. He immediately outscored Yun Ji without having to pass the cavalry and shoot, and directly passed the martial arts examination.

Although this made the body weak and the literary talent was just as good as Yun Ji, he was lucky to have officially entered the official career through martial arts.

Yun Ji used the article "The Strategy of Longyou's Discipline of Army Relocation" to attract the appreciation of Liu Jie and Zhao Zhi, and then entered the official career. However, afterwards, Zhao Zhi did not place Yun Ji in Longyou, but sent him to Henan as an official, not a military officer.

During Zhao Zhi's reign, except for the important areas of the capital and border areas in the pass, as well as Longyou and Anbei, the taxes in other places were extremely heavy. Many people had to abandon their land and flee because of the heavy taxes, and became fugitives who fled everywhere. After a few gatherings, they could easily gather people to cause trouble and cholera.

The people in Jiangnan have a gentle personality, but they have not caused too many big things yet. However, in Henan and the prefectures and counties in the northeast of Hedong, many powerful warriors and heroes have been produced since ancient times. Since Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne, rebellions and riots have often occurred and have never been cut off.

Although Yun Ji entered the officialdom as a civil servant, he had outstanding martial arts. Faced with the continuous rebellion in Henan, the court's military strength was weak, and he had no time to take care of the local areas. He first proposed joint protection for seven prefectures and nineteen counties north of Henan, mobilized local landlords and powerful people, donated money and grain, and recruited a large number of strong men. Each prefecture and county distributed some officers and soldiers to concentrate on training and arming.

The military strength of each prefecture and county may not be strong, but after they joined forces, there were nearly 10,000 soldiers. This army was finally handed over to Yunji to command and lead. Yunji led this army to suppress and merger, and finally achieved great results. Because of its effectiveness, his method was finally fully implemented throughout the entire Henan Road. In the following ten years, Yunji was in charge of Henan Road. Although the rebellion continued, it could not become a climate and could not shake the rule of the Jin Dynasty. Until the outbreak of the White Turban Army in the 15th year of Guangyuan, Henan Road achieved great governance under Yunji's governance, at least on the surface.

Because of the brilliant political achievements he achieved in Henan, Yun Ji was valued and rewarded by Zhao Zhi. It only took Yun Ji ten years to go from a cold-clothed shirt to a rank-in official who controlled a military and political military governor. Such experiences and deeds were rare in Zhao Zhi's dynasty.

Li Xun clasped his fists and said, "You are my senior Li Xun. How dare I disrespect you? It's just that the situation of the King of Chu is quite special. You should be aware of it. You are also helpless and rude. Please forgive me if Dr. Yun."

Li Xun treated Yun Ji with the courtesy of his younger generation. In fact, in terms of current official positions, Li Xun is only higher than Yun Ji. In terms of titles, Li Xun is already a Duke of the State, and Yun Ji is just a county magistrate. The two are far from each other. However, some things cannot be simply compared with official positions. Yun Ji is not comparable to Li Xun in terms of prestige or qualifications.

Yun Ji also acted as an imperial envoy. Generally speaking, most officials of the Jin Dynasty liked to serve in the central government rather than in the local area. Yun Ji was a local governor who served as a transshipment officer. They were all second-rank positions, while the Censor was a third-rank official, but he preferred to be called him "Doctor".

Yun Ji smiled and said, "It seems that you are planning to come and go back quickly."

Yun Ji had guessed Li Xun's plan, which was easy to guess. King Zhao Shuo of Chu intended to die. Zhao Xun naturally hated him to the core, and it would be better to die sooner or later. But the current situation is that Zhao Xun just asked someone to take Zhao Shuo back to Fengjing, and did not convict him. Zhao Shuo is actually still a noble prince. Once he dies, who can know what Zhao Xun means?

Therefore, the best plan now is to escort Zhao Shuo back to Fengjing as soon as possible. As long as you arrive in Fengjing, Li Xun will have no connection. It doesn’t matter whether Zhao Shuo dies or lives.

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Some things are too complicated, and we ministers cannot join us. What Doctor Yun said is that I am planning to come and go quickly. If I send the King of Chu back to Fengjing one day earlier, I will feel at ease."

"I have ordered people to prepare the meal. You can wait until you have a raw meal and then leave."

Yun Ji nodded in agreement and said, as a minister, it is indeed difficult to get involved in the affairs of the royal family. During this period, Yun Ji ignored the King of Chu Zhao Shuo and stayed away from him. It was not that he was afraid of something, but that he was not easy to explain it clearly and could not explain some things clearly.
