The court quickly responded. Just two days after Li Xun arrived in Hongzhou, Zhao Xun's imperial edict arrived, but not directly to Li Xun, but to Wang Anmao, deputy envoy of Jiangnan Transportation. Wang Anmao immediately came to Hongzhou and gave the imperial edict to Li Xun.

Wang Anmao and Liu Congxi are both godsons of Mu Gong. Their experiences and ages are similar, but their life results are very different.

Liu Congxi was greedy for money. Faced with the huge bribery and win over by the Wing King Zhao He, Liu Congxi turned to Zhao He without even thinking about it. So much so that Mu Gong tried to persuade him several times, they were ineffective and eventually became a victim of political struggle.

Wang Anmao does not attach much importance to money and things, but he values ​​power and reputation.

Wang Anmao was far away from political struggles at first, and did not want to participate too much in the vortex of the throne, but as long as he was a human, he would have desires. Although eunuchs were incomplete, they were also humans, and sometimes they were more intense than normal people. Zhao He took the Suzhou Observer and actually controlled the military and political power of Suzhou as the condition, and finally pried open Wang Anmao's psychological defense line. In the process of Zhao He secretly controlling the three armies of the imperial guards, Wang Anmao played a huge role. Without Wang Anmao, Zhao He had no time and conditions at all, and he had concealed everyone's eyes and ears. Without knowing it, he controlled most of the military power of the three armies of the imperial guards. Many things, Zhao He did not come forward, were all done by Wang Anmao. He was in charge of the imperial guards for many years, and his connections and people were extremely high. Many things were easily accomplished.

However, Wang Anmao was more rational than Liu Congxi. After several persuasions by Mr. Mu, he finally chose to withdraw and told Mu Gong a lot of things. This is why, when Zhao Zhi fell into a coma, Zhao Xun immediately dispatched the imperial guards' central army to Fengjing and prepared to take action in advance.

Wang Anmao and a eunuch in his twenties found Li Xun together.

Wang Anmao looked very poor, had a pale face, was thin, and seemed to be weak, as if he was terminally ill.

Seeing Wang Anmao's appearance, Li Xun said in surprise: "Eunuch Wang, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with your health?"

"Thank you, Li Xiangguo, for your concern, I'm fine."

Wang Anmao shook his head, then his face turned a little red and he started coughing loudly.

The young eunuch glanced at Wang Anmao in disgust and said coldly: "If you don't have good health, don't follow me. It's really annoying."

Compared to Wang Anmao's bad attitude, the young eunuch was extremely enthusiastic about Li Xun. He took two steps forward, bowed slightly, and said with a flattering look: "When the slave left the palace, General Manager Li asked the slave to bring greetings to Li Xiangguo. The emperor gave General Manager Li two jars of good wine. When General Manager Li returned to Fengjing, General Manager Li said that he would not return with General Manager Li without getting drunk."

Li Xun nodded: "Xiao Lezi is interested. After she goes back, she will take me to say hello to him."

The young eunuch nodded repeatedly: "The slave must bring Li Xiangguo's intentions."

Li Xun waved his hand and said, "Please sit down, father-in-law."

The young eunuch sat aside and said, "Slave He Shuping, just call me Xiao He Zi."

Li Xun said indifferently: "Did my father-in-law bring an imperial edict on this trip?"

Li Xun didn't want to talk too much with He Shuping. The two had no friendship, and it was useless to say more. His name was Li Leping and Xiao Lezi. It was a manifestation of intimacy and there was no despise or despise him. He Shuping wanted to get close to Li Xun, but Li Xun ignored him at all.

He Shuping then took out the imperial edict from his arms and stepped forward to hand it to Li Xun.

Li Xun quickly got up.

He Shuping smiled and said, "This is the imperial edict announced by Your Majesty to Zhao Bai'an. It has nothing to do with Prime Minister Li, so Prime Minister Li does not need much politeness."

Li Xun ignored He Shuping, still bent, respectfully, took the imperial edict with both hands, and then sat down and opened to watch.

The content of the imperial edict was very long. Li Xun read it twice in a row. After reading it for a long time, he put down the imperial edict in his hand, and then there was a look of contemplation on his face.

Although the content of the imperial edict is very long, the meaning is actually very simple, just two: reward and punishment.

Zhao Baian was named Taiwei, Prince Taibao... and other series of prominent positions, of course, all are empty positions. The ones that are truly valuable are Zhao Baian's throne of Hong'an County Prince. Zhao Xun allowed to inherit the throne for a generation and clearly stipulated that the throne was inherited by the youngest son Zhao Qiankun, and there were some other rewards. Zhao Baian's other sons were also awarded titles. Zhao Baian's ability was relatively mediocre. He was the eldest son of the county magistrate who had been for more than ten years. He was promoted by Zhao Xunen and became the governor of Hezhou.

There are also some financial rewards, not many, but also many.

A series of rewards have given Zhao Baian enough face, but one thing is that Zhao Xun still did not give Zhao Baian any actual position. Although he was granted a Lingnan Xuanfu Ambassador to Zhao Baian, this was only a temporary position.

Although the imperial edict is full of official words, the meaning revealed in it is very profound.

Zhao Xun was obviously extremely angry about what happened in Chenzhou, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could not do anything to Zhao Bai'an. Moreover, Zhao Bai'an also needs Zhao Bai'an to stabilize the situation in the current Lingnan. However, another meaning is that from the fact that Zhao Xun did not give Zhao Bai'an any actual job, once the situation in Lingnan stabilizes, Zhao Bai'an will definitely get out immediately, and Zhao Xun will never use Zhao Bai'an to take charge of any military and political power.

Also, reward the soldiers of the three armies.

The rewards of the main generals are not mentioned for now. They are all small heads, which are easy to solve, but the rewards of tens of thousands of soldiers and the pensions of soldiers who died in battle are the big heads.

Li Xun made a lot of money from Henan and had sent one million taels of silver to Jiangnan and 500,000 Dan grain, plus the 500,000 Dan grain from Yongzhou, as well as the self-raised money and grain in Jiangnan. The food needed by Zhao Bai'an's army was actually enough. There was no big problem, but the money was still a little small.

All the money and grain are currently stored in Hongzhou. The most important thing for the army to fight is food and grass. Therefore, there is not much grain stored in Hongzhou City, and only less than 200,000 Dandan is left. However, there is still some money, about 2 million taels. So much money is actually enough to reward the soldiers of the Three Armies. However, one thing is that this year, the taxes in Jiangnan, Hong, An, Yong and other northern Jiuzhou need to pay 3 million taels of taxes, but the previous period requires all use. Zhao Bai'an embezzled in advance and used about 3 million taels. This time, the rewards of the Three Armies soldiers will require at least one million taels. With the tax of three million, the total is four million taels, while Hongzhou currently only has two million taels, which is very large.
