"Because it's not necessary."

Sima Tu said: "Fan Zhongyun was also aware of Zhao Tong's abnormal behavior, so not long after the lord left, Mr. Fan wrote to me, asking me not to focus on Zhao Tong alone, and Feng Jing should also be vigilant." ”

Li Xun said softly: "You mean, Lao Fan has already guessed everything? ”

"Mr. Fan didn't guess something, but it didn't involve the core, he just felt that Zhao Tong couldn't make any big waves alone, and there must be other people or forces behind him."

Sima Tu shook his head and said: "During this period of time when the lord went out to inspect, I calmed down, thought twice, and guessed many things. ”

Li Xun asked in a deep voice, "What do you think is Zhao Tong's ultimate goal?" ”

"Reason."

"Reason? What a reason. ”

Li Xun didn't understand it.

Sima Tu said in a deep voice: "The lord made great contributions in the second Longyou War, and led the army to take the entire Western Regions, so that even Wuzong was an unfulfilled dream, and now it is sending a lot of money and grain, solving the great difficulties of the imperial court, such a big and so much credit, if the emperor wants to replace the lord, there must be an excuse and reason, Zhao Tong They must have thought of the emperor's thoughts, or they intended to push the emperor to go in this direction, so they had a plan early on, no matter what they did, The final result will not change, in this case, why not make things bigger, the more chaotic the situation in Longyou, after the transfer of the lord, in the future Longyou power vacuum, they can obtain the greatest benefits. ”

Li Xun understood: "If you surround Wu'an City, you will cut off Zhao Tong's external news channel and delay time as much as possible." ”

Sima Tu smiled: "The lord has always guessed it. ”

Li Xun nodded and said in a cold voice: "Be the first to play and seize the right to speak." ”

Sima Tu took out a letter from his bosom, walked closer, and handed it to Li Xun with both hands, which had just been written yesterday.

Li Xun took the concerto, looked at it carefully several times, and the matter was important and had to be handled carefully.

After reading the recital, Li Xun pondered for a moment and said to Sima Tu: "This recital is passed directly to the emperor, the intention is too obvious, give the recital to the prince, explain the meaning clearly, and let him speak for us, which is more useful and heavier than if we give it directly to the emperor." ”

Sima Tu thought for a while, nodded and said, "The lord is thoughtful, it is indeed better to do this." ”

After listening to all the conjectures and persuasions of Sima Tu, Li Xun acted decisively, and after the 5,000 troops entered Wu'an City, he immediately issued an order to implement martial law in the whole city in the name of stabilizing public order in the city.

Liu Xun's sudden action shocked Zhao Tong and others, he immediately came to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, wanted to see Li Xun, but was refused, let Li Cunli let Gu Feng and others go, also refused, for this reason, Zhao Tong was furious, and immediately led the remaining personal soldiers, in the name of the prince and the imperial court, with the intention of forcibly rushing out of Wu'an City, but was blocked back, except for Zhao Tong himself, all his personal soldiers were detained.

Although Zhao Tong's identity is noble, Li Xun governs the army very strictly, and has a high reputation in the army, and he is in the name of the highest military and political chief in the western part of Longyou, he issued a strict order, who dares to let one person out of the city, and the officers above the governor are beheaded, this is a death order, the military order is not child's play, no one dares to mess around.

Zhao Tong returned to the county office with a blushing face and informed him of the current situation.

Hearing that Li Xun locked the city, most of Zhao Tong's personal soldiers were arrested, and everyone in the lobby was blown up at once, and they scolded Li Xun one after another, all kinds of reproaches, and some people spoke directly, saying that he just wanted to rebel.

At this time, a soldier rushed in and said loudly: "Lord Wang, hundreds of soldiers came from outside, surrounding the entire county office, saying that it was on Li Xun's orders, and now that the law and order in the city is chaotic, I am afraid that there will be bandits mixed in, for the sake of the safety of the prince and all the adults, everyone is not allowed to leave the county government for the time being." ”

Hearing the soldier's report, everyone was dumbfounded, and the hall was silent.

"Li Xun dared to put the prince under house arrest, he was looking for death."

Yao Gu was the first to react, and said to Zhao Tong: "Lord Wang, immediately write a chapter, make Li Xun's actions public, and let the court make a decision." ”

Zhao Tong nodded and said to everyone: "The matter is important, let's go to the back hall and discuss carefully, this time we must make Li Xun pay a heavy price." ”

After speaking, everyone followed Zhao Tong to the back hall.

Zhang Jin didn't follow, sat there and drank tea leisurely, and when everyone left, he got up and walked out of the lobby, but saw Tao Kan standing in the courtyard.

"Master Tao, they all went to the back hall to discuss matters, why don't you go and join in the fun, what are you standing here for?"

Zhang Jin asked strangely.

He and Tao Kan were not familiar with each other, and before they followed Zhao Tong to Longyou, the two of them had never met at all.

Tao Kan is a student of the late right minister Yang Daohei, a full forty years old this year, a young man, known as a prodigy since childhood, very profound, but also a good poem, his poetry is widely spread, praised and worshiped by many people, his people in Fengjing is quite famous, although Zhang Jin has not met him before, but Tao Kan's name, is already heard.

Tao Kan's father is a four-pin Beijing official, Yang Daosi pulled it up, so he has always been a firm follower of the Yang family, because of this relationship, Tao Kan was worshiped under the name of Yang Daosi in his early years, he was his student, at the age of seventeen he was a Jinshi and the first, at the age of twenty, he took the initiative to ask for a place to be an official, or went to the remote Lingnan land, and this was a full twenty years, during which he rarely returned to Fengjing, Yang Daosi valued his talent, and transferred him back to Beijing several times to be an official, but Tao Kan refused.
