"Your Majesty, according to the Qianzhou Sima Songbao, Shi Hu has already written a recital, although the content is not known to outsiders, but according to the minister's speculation, Shi Hu should have asked Qianzhou to stay behind, and asked the imperial court to give him the position of Qianzhou Jiedu envoy."

Helian Chu told what he had gotten.

Da Honglu also has a responsibility, that is, to be in charge of local rumors, with this responsibility, he has a certain amount of investigation affairs, and it is normal for Qianzhou Sima to tell Da Honglu about this matter alone.

Zhao Xun waved the fold in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Wennan's death, the words are unknown, how can there be no news of such a big thing?" The matter presented by the local officials in Qianzhou is so simple, what are they doing to eat? ”

Helian Chu smiled bitterly: "Wei Wennan died too suddenly, no one was prepared, of course, it is not ruled out that someone deliberately concealed the news." ”

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to dwell on how Wei Wennan died, something has happened, we should think about it later."

Li Zhong, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke at this time.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun and said in a soft tone: "Li Xiangguo is good at military aircraft, I don't know what good advice I have?" ”

Although Zhao Xun was dissatisfied with Li Zhong, he had many suspicions and precautions, and as he began to reduce his military power, the relationship between the two became more and more cold during this time, Li Zhong was obviously a little disheartened, and there was a lot of silence about the government, but in any case, as far as the military is concerned, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, there are indeed few people compared to Li Zhong, in this regard, Zhao Xun still has to rely on his talents.

Li Zhong said: "The old minister wants to ask the emperor first, if Shi Hu asks for succession as the envoy of the Qianzhou Festival, will the emperor agree or refuse?" ”

Zhao Xun frowned, glanced at Li Zhong, did not rush to answer, but returned to the chair and sat down, handed the fold to Xiao Lezi, pointed to Li Zhong and the others, and showed them the matter, and then said: "Although the fold is written simply, the ins and outs of the whole thing are also fully described, the death of Wei Wennan and hundreds of people in the family is obviously artificial, Shi Hu is the most suspicious, maybe he did it." ”

Li Xun opened his mouth at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Hu is also a minister, please be cautious before there is no conclusive evidence, so as not to be suspicious of the monarch and ministers and cause unnecessary trouble." ”

"What Li Xiangguo said is reasonable, and I also ask Your Majesty to withdraw Fang Cai's words."

Xie Shiyuan also echoed it.

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "What the two Xiangguo said is right, it is I who lost my word. ”

Zhao Xun is still relatively generous in this regard, he does not hate the minister's face-to-face confrontation and outspoken advice, as long as it is not too much, not out of selfishness, he will not care, this point, Zhao Xun and the former emperor Zhao Zhi are somewhat similar.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Zhong and said in a deep voice: "Can Li Xiangguo make his words clearer?" ”

At this time, Li Zhong had already finished reading Sima's report in Qianzhou, and had a general understanding of the cause of the matter.

In the face of Zhao Xun's inquiry, Li Zhong pondered for a moment, and then said lightly: "In terms of politics, the old minister accidentally understood, so he didn't think much about it, but as far as the military is concerned, Shi Hu eliminated dissidents, purged the army, and controlled the military power with an iron fist, which is obviously an imperative for the Qianzhou Jiedu to make his position, for this consideration, if the imperial court refuses his request, Shi Hu is very likely to support the army and divide Lingnan, and when the time comes, a war is inevitable." ”

Li Zhong's words fell, and Chen Hu laughed loudly: "Lord Zuo Xiang thinks about things too seriously, first of all, regardless of whether Shi Hu will go to the table to ask Qianzhou to stay, even if this is true, it does not necessarily mean that Shi Hu will be opposed, everything still has room to turn around, let's not reverie, but it will complicate things." ”

"What Chen Lao said is reasonable, and besides, after the death of the envoy of the local feudal town, it has almost become the norm for the above table to ask to stay, and for Shi Hu, I suggest that it is better to appease."

Zhan Tai Yi Heng echoed Chen Hu.

Zhao Xun only noticed Chen Hu's existence at this time, looked at him twice, was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Come on, give Chen Lao a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Hu bowed down, and then sat down with a calm expression.

Chen Hu once joined the political hall as a minister, and his qualifications are older than the nine ministers in the political hall today, and Zhao Xun's attitude towards him is also normal.

After Zhao Xun gave Chen Hu a seat, his eyes looked at Li Zhong again.

Li Zhong is obviously not as impatient as before, even if he can't see it, there will be people around him to remind him after all, Zhao Xun is so jealous and suspicious of him.

Li Zhong didn't argue with Chen Hu about anything, but said lightly: "Wei Wennan has always been loyal to the imperial court, neither greedy for money nor greedy for power, it can be said that he is an example and example for the envoys of the major festivals in the world, and now his death is not clear, if the court ignores it because of the fear of war, where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven and the reputation of the imperial court?" ”

Xiao Hui said in a deep voice at this time: "Why does Lord Zuo Xiang have to implicate Wei Wennan's death on Shi Hu? Maybe the thing is very simple, Wei Wennan died in an accident. ”

As soon as Xiao Hui's words came out, some people's faces suddenly had a sneer.

Chen Hu's Chen family, the foundation is in the Lingnan land, Wei Wennan has been sitting in Qianzhou for more than ten years, has been suppressing the Chen family can not move, so many years have not had any development and action, so the contradiction between Chen Hu and Wei Wennan is very deep, Wei Wennan's sudden death, the two people who benefited the most, I am afraid that Chen Hu and Shi Hu, now these two people, one in Qianzhou to clean up the army, control the military power, but the other suddenly arrived in Fengjing, tried to excuse Shi Hu, and gathered Zhan Tai Yi Heng, Xiao Hui and a number of other famous officials and families, what their thoughts are, is very interesting.

Li Zhong glanced at Zhao Xun, saw that he was frowning, there was a look of hesitation on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't want to say a lot more, and if he said too much, it would be another argument, and he couldn't solve anything.

Zhao Xun's mood at the moment was a little hesitant, he felt that Li Zhong's words were very reasonable, Wei Wennan had always been loyal to the imperial court, and now his death was unknown, if the imperial court could not give an explanation, how would the people of the world reverie? As the Son of Heaven, how will he be viewed by the world?

But Zhao Xun felt that what Chen Hu and others said was also somewhat reasonable, before the matter was clarified, he rashly made a conclusion, which would only immediately make Shi Hu and the imperial court form an antagonism, in that case, a war would really be inevitable, and now the situation of the court is barely stable, and the personnel arrangements and follow-up plans of the Western Regions and Longyou are about to be launched, Zhao Xun really doesn't want any accidents to happen at this time, he just wants to spend this time stably, and give priority to the affairs of the Western Regions and Longyou.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Xun finally said: "Send someone to Lingnan to have a look, you must make the matter of Wei Wennan clear to me, figure it out." ”
