"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Xun asked out loud.

Wang Qili said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yancheng, the contemporary clan leader of the Xiao family, has a moral corruption, insults and bullies stepmother. In order to dominate the clan's family, he forced his three brothers to death. This person should be killed."

Zhao Xun said in a low voice: "Why choose the Xiao family?"

There are many people in the big family. Once there are more people, they will naturally become dirty. The patriarch of a family has great power. The crimes of Xiao Yancheng mentioned by Wang Qili are actually nothing, either big or small.

Wang Qili said coldly: "My mother was born in the Xiao family, but she was just a illegitimate daughter with an illegitimate status. She was even worse than a slave. She was bullied and insulted in her early years, so she was confused and had her lower limbs disabled. I am a son of man, so this revenge must be avenged."

Zhao Xun leaned back, leaned on the chair, squinted his eyes and stared at Wang Qili silently. After a while, he said softly: "Wang Qili, you are so honest, should I say you are good or bad?"

Wang Qili remained silent.

Zhao Xun didn't ask too much, tapping his fingers on the table, pondering for a while, then he said in a quiet voice: "Although the Xiao family has declined, it has been passed down for many years and has a close relationship with many aristocratic families. If you dare to touch the Xiao family, you are quite brave."

Wang Qili's expression remained unchanged and said in a low voice: "Whether you are brave or not depends on whether the emperor has the courage."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xun was not angry, but instead had a smile on his face: "Go and do it, I won't give you any guarantee, but you can rest assured that from now on, I will no longer harm you."

"I, take your leave."

Wang Qili bowed and then turned around and strode away.

Looking at Wang Qili's back as he left, Zhao Xun's eyes were far and dark.

An empire with a burial was brought back by Zhao Zhi. It seemed to be his hard work and turning the tide. In fact, this was the result of many people's joint efforts. In this process, Zhao Zhi realized his wish and got what he wanted. But at the same time, those who participated and forces also gained huge benefits and benefits. For example, Wang Huailei, the governor of Chuzhou, supported and supported Zhao Zhi, had completely owned the wealthy land of Chuzhou in just a few years. Now he has an elite army of 50,000. Among the dozens of local vassal states in the Jin Dynasty, he can be regarded as one of the best.

In Zhao Zhi's later years, although many plans he had always wanted to achieve for many reasons and eventually miscarried, Zhao Zhi still tried his best to use some means. In the favorable situation, Zhao Zhi was preparing to reduce the strength of some local governors, including the governor of Chuzhou, Wang Huaili.

Chuzhou is one of the best states in the world. Xiongzhou is within a territory of one state. It has nine counties and eleven cities, with nearly two million people, rich resources and a large area.

In the era of Wang Huailei's father, Chuzhou was far from being as huge as it is now. Instead, it was composed of Caizhou, Huzhou and Chuzhou.

In the third year of Guangyuan, Wang Huaili's father died of illness. With the joint support of the soldiers in the army, Wang Huaili expressed his attitude to the court in the name of Chuzhou's queen, with a very humble and respectful attitude. One was to express his sincerity to Zhao Zhi, and the other was to inherit his father's foundation and rights. At that time, Caizhou, Huaibei, Huainan, and even the entire Jiangnan region, rebelled constantly, and civilians in various places were one after another. In order to prevent and resist the invasion of Annan barbarians and Yue, several powerful military governors in the Lingnan region were unable to mobilize troops to support the north. At that time, the imperial court and the imperial guard system of Fengjing at that time had just recruited 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. They were not trained enough and could not go out to fight. Under this circumstance, Zhao Zhi could only use the strength to fight and use the power of the local military governor to suppress local rebellion and stabilize the situation.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhao Zhi not only agreed to Wang Huaili's request, but also gave him greater territory and rights. He merged the two states of Caizhou and Huzhou into Chuzhou, so that the overall strength of Chuzhou, whether it is territory, economy and population, suddenly increased. Faced with the temptation of such huge interests, Wang Huailio indeed burst out with strong vitality and passion. After three years, dozens of battles, he was the only one who died of seven brothers. After arduous battles, he finally defeated and wiped out several Jiedu rebellions in Huaibei and Huainan, and completely put down dozens of shareholders' rebellions in Jiangnan. He made great contributions to the major source of taxes in Huaibei and Huainan, the major source of taxes in the Dajin area, and the last twenty years of peace and stability.

The efforts will be rewarded. Zhao Zhi did not treat Wang Huailio unfairly and handed over all the military and political power of the entire Chuzhou to Wang Huailio. After more than ten years of development and growth, Wang Huailio's overall comprehensive strength quickly became stronger.

After two Longyou Wars and the victory of the foreign war, Zhao Zhi's reputation and majesty were unprecedented, as if the Jin Dynasty had returned to its heyday. During this period, the major vassal states in the world were full of awe of the imperial court. Under this circumstance, Zhao Zhi tried to reduce the local vassal states, and the main spearhead was naturally directed at the five major vassal states in Hebei. Zhao Zhi did not forget other local vassal states. For example, Wang Huailio and Zhao Zhi intended to divide Chuzhou into three again and restore to the former Caizhou, Huzhou and Chuzhou. Wang Huailio's status remained unchanged and continued to be his Chuzhou Jiedu. However, with the division of Chuzhou into three, his overall strength was obviously greatly reduced.

At that time, the central court had unprecedentedly powerful military shock. Wang Huailei did not dare to resist at all. He could only choose to obey Zhao Zhi's intentions. Unfortunately, as Zhao Xun and Zhao He competed for the throne, the political situation in the court became more and more intense, and the turmoil and chaotic, which greatly involved Zhao Zhi's mind and energy. Wang Huailei's affairs were put on hold for the time being. As Li Xun took over the entire Western Regions, a huge amount of war wealth was transferred to the Central Plains, and the court's financial difficulties were alleviated. During this period, Zhao Xun successfully took over the crown prince, Zhao He was suppressed, and the situation in the court was temporarily stable. At this time, Zhao Zhi had once again thought of reducing Wang Huailei's strength. Unfortunately, with the arrival of a coup, everything was suddenly interrupted.

Some things are often unexpected. As the governor of Shuzhou, Yang Daoan, sent an envoy to show his favor to the court and expressed his willingness to do his part in Wang Huaili's problem. Zhao Xun has not expressed his attitude yet. When Wang Huaili learned the news, he did not know whether it was due to fear or fear of Yang Daoan, he took the initiative to withdraw his troops to Chuzhou and submitted a letter to the court. His attitude changed thirty-six degrees, and he took the initiative to mention that the former emperor Xingzong once intended to restore Chuzhou.

Resetting to the original Three Prefectures, Wang Huailii used his talent and low learning, old age and illness, and lack of energy as an excuse. He hoped that Zhao Xun could fulfill the wishes of the previous emperor, but Wang Huailii made a slight change. He hoped that Chuzhou would not be divided into three, but into two, and the two counties north of Chuzhou were equivalent to one-quarter of Chuzhou territory to restore the former Caizhou. Finally, Wang Huailii mentioned Wang Qili very unexpectedly, saying that this person had an old age and hoped that the emperor could take care of one or two.

Is it really because of Yang Daoan that Wang Huaili suddenly changed his attitude?

No one is a fool. Yang Daoan said those words just to express an attitude. Could it be that he could really transfer the 50,000 troops in his hands to Henan or Huaibei to fight Wang Huailio? Even if Yang Daoan is really willing, Zhao Xun may not dare to let him do this.

After decades of efforts by Zhao Zhi, the governors of the vassal states in various places finally became honest. They subconsciously reached a hidden rule with the court. No matter how powerful you are, the army is not allowed to come out at will, and the court will not suppress them too much. This is a consensus reached between the two sides and has been maintained for more than 20 years. Zhao Xun does not want this rule that has lasted for many years to be easily broken because of Yang Daoan. Once this rule is broken, it will be a mess, and it will not be a matter of two governors.

The reason why Wang Qili was able to survive and continue to be his Sili Captain, is actually very important and critical, but it is because Zhao Xun did not want to become critical again because of a small Wang Qili who had just eased his relationship with Wang Huaili.
