Zhao Tong's tone was extremely harsh, and he rebuked many of Li Xun's policies and some of his personal things, and finally brought in those local officials who were closer to Li Xun, although he did not name them, but everyone present could hear that Zhao Tong's intentions were very clear, as long as it was about all people and things about Li Xun, he would veto and reject them.

"Li Xun is just messing around, those barbarians in the Western Regions are just that, the Dashiren are the mortal enemies of our Han people, when the Dashiren took the land of our Han people and killed our Han people, now they can live in peace on the land of Longyou, and sit on an equal footing with the Han people, where is this kind of reason?"

The more Zhao Tong spoke, the more angry he became, and finally slapped the table hard, and sharply reprimanded Li Xun for his reckless behavior, dereliction of duty, and disorderly administration.

Zhao Tong's words fell, and some local officials in the western part of Longyou immediately stood up and echoed their words, blaming Li Xun.

Zhou Qing, who had been silent, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and was about to get up and speak, but Liu Yu on the side grabbed him, but Zhou Qing shook him off.

"Lord Wang, all the policies of Longyou have been discussed by everyone, reported to the imperial court, and officially approved by the political affairs hall, and then they have begun to be implemented in the entire territory of the seven states in the western part of Longyou Province, and it is not a decision made by any one person, and it is probably not appropriate for the prince to accuse Li Jiedu like this."

Zhou Qing has a bad impression of Li Xun at all, often looking for his theory, for many of Li Xun's policies, at the beginning was also strongly opposed, but in the past two years, the seven states in the west of Longyou under Li Xun's care, it is indeed getting better and better, the people of the Western Regions, the Dashi people, the Han people, the people of all ethnic groups began to slowly integrate, and the public security and living environment have been greatly improved, The direction of its policy is also right, Zhou Qing did not hold back with Li Xun for any face reasons, but began to change his mentality, and vigorously implemented Li Xun's policy with all his heart, and now, Zhou Qing has become a strong supporter of Li Xun's national integration policy.

"Lord, Li Jiedu's policy of ethnic integration was approved by the imperial court and the political hall, and now it seems that this policy has achieved certain results, when the Tubo attacked, the people of the Western Regions and the Dashi people were on our side, and they played a certain role in resisting the invasion of the Tubo, and they still have a certain amount of merit."

Liu Yu also stood up at this time, covering Zhou Qing's edge with a soft tone.

Zhao Tong looked at the two of them coldly, and after a while, there was a strange sneer on his face, clapped his palms, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "This king just said two words about Li Xun, and the two of you are impatient to stand up and defend it, some people say that Li Xun ganged up in the western part of Longyou, and supported the army to respect himself, this king didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that there is indeed a thing!" ”

Zhou Qing said angrily: "The prince has no evidence, what is the reason for such words? If the imperial court gave Li Xun the general manager of all military and political affairs in the seven western states of Longyou, if he acted correctly, it would be beneficial to the people and the locality, and I, as his subordinate, should work hard and do things with my heart, what does it have to do with forming a party for personal gain? ”

Zhao Tong laughed and said: "This king didn't say the word "forming a party for personal gain", but you said it yourself, why do you need to say this if you don't have a ghost in your heart?" You're obviously not admitting yourself! ”

Zhou Qing's face was flushed, and he said loudly: "The lower officials are sincere to the court, loyal to the emperor, and have a clear conscience, how can the prince be tainted by his words?" "Reading.com

Zhao Tong smiled coldly, picked up the teacup and drank water, he was not fighting with Zhou Qing, he was a prince, and arguing with a middle- and low-level official like Zhou Qing was there and lost his identity.

Zhao Tong didn't say it, it didn't mean that others didn't say it, and then four or five local officials stood up and began to accuse Zhou Qing of being a political mistake, and some people came out to speak for Zhou Qing.

Zhang Jin, the general of Zuo Tongwei, Tao Kan and Yao Gu, the three deputy envoys of Zuo Tongwei, who came with Zhao Tong, Zhang Jin and Tao Kan were also present, but Tao Kan seemed very leisurely, no matter how noisy he was, he just sat there silently drinking tea, with a posture that he had nothing to do with himself, while Zhang Jin frowned slightly, and looked at Zhao Tong from time to time.

After arriving in Wuzhou, for more than a month, he only walked around, and his attitude towards local officials, including Zheng Chun, was very gentle, and even Zhang Jin felt at the beginning that Zhao Tong's trip was a formality, because even if Li Xun sent troops to the Western Regions, he did not report to the imperial court, and he was guilty of using troops without authorization, but after all, he still won the war, and contributed a huge amount of spoils to the imperial court, and the merits outweighed the faults. Coupled with the kind of relationship between him and the emperor, there will be nothing to do, even if Zhao Tong wants to do something, I am afraid there is no chance.

Now it is completely different, with the assassination of Zhao He, the emperor was furious, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Tong suddenly attacked, even if he could not take Li Xun, but at least he could take away half of Li Xun's rights, and let his forces take the opportunity to enter the western region of Longyou, so that he could finally replace him.

Li Xun galloped quickly, approaching Wu'an City, and from time to time someone rushed towards Wu'an City, which seemed very lively, this abnormal liveliness made Li Xun feel a little abnormal.

"Go and ask what's going on."

"Yes, Marshal."

Chen De stepped forward and grabbed a person from the Western Regions, and asked in a low voice, the people from the Western Regions turned their heads to look at Li Xun, obviously they had seen Li Xun before, recognized Li Xun's identity, walked over quickly, knelt on the ground, and cried: "My lord, you have to be the master of our people from the Western Regions!" ”

Li Xun turned over and dismounted, helped the person up, and said softly: "If there is anything to say, I will be in charge of you." ”

The people of the Western Regions wiped their tears and told the reason for the incident.

Zhao Tong's sudden outburst was six days ago, he raised strong objections and criticisms of many of Li Xun's policies, and in his dual capacity as an observer and a prince, he sternly demanded that the land tax that the Dashi people and the people of the Western Regions in the western part of Longyou needed to pay was three times that of the Han people, and canceled their qualifications to join the army, and Li Xun Chengruo's tax exemption for five years, the Han people could enjoy this policy, but the Dashi people and the people of the Western Regions were not among them, and also, cancel the fact that foreigners could intermarry with the Han people, and most importantly, Zhao Tong asked for the western part of Longyou, not allowing any religious temples other than Buddhist temples is allowed, which is tantamount to depriving the Dashi people and the people of the Western Regions of spiritual beliefs.

Zhao Tong's actions can be said to have completely negated Li Xun's policy of ethnic integration and equality, and as soon as these decisions were issued, the entire western part of Longyou was blown up.
