In the matter of Xiayuan County, Li Xun quickly suppressed it with strong means, and controlled the development of the situation before the source of the outbreak.

Zhou Xiansen was deposed and replaced by Guo Chen, who was very famous among the people, the group of ruffians and hooligans who brutalized and oppressed the people, also suffered extremely severe punishment, dozens of heads, hanging on the city wall, Li Xun did all this, although it could not completely extinguish the anger of the foreigners, but at least it could alleviate and interrupt the follow-up development of things.

Subsequently, Li Xun met with the local religious leaders, and the two sides talked, Li Xun made many promises, and the foreigners finally gave up their intention to start a riot, and said that as long as the government did not deliberately target them in the future and maintained equal treatment, they were willing to abide by the laws of the Jin Dynasty and live in harmony with the Han people.

The ending of the matter in Xiayuan County let everyone see Li Xun's ruthlessness and decisiveness, many people put their outstretched claws, and took them back again, they wanted to see how Zhao Tong would react, if Zhao Tong did not exert his strength, in the west of Longyou, Li Xun was obviously the existence of covering the sky with one hand, and no one could resist it.

Solving the matter here, Li Xun then continued to travel to other states in the western part of Longyou, and successively summoned the assassins and county orders of the states, Li Xun's dialogue with them, said very tactfully and obscurely, only listen to himself and don't listen to Zhao Tong, Zhao Tong's orders should not be executed, this kind of words did not say a word, let alone mention the name Zhao Tong, but at the same time, Li Xun warned the officials of the states and counties with extremely harsh words that the development of the western part of Longyou to this day is not easy, and the harmony between foreigners and Han people is the overall situation, No one can destroy this overall situation, and if anyone dares to mess around, Zhou Xiansen, the county magistrate of Xiayuan County, is a role model.

Although Li Xun didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood the meaning, he would not come hard with Zhao Tong, he and Zhao Tong on both sides, it doesn't matter who you choose, but the established policy and overall situation in the western part of Longyou cannot be changed, whoever moves this bottom line, that is, looking for death, if you are afraid of offending Zhao Tong, then agree on the surface, secretly Yang Fengyin disobeys, and the pattern of the western part of Longyou remains unchanged, so that you are good, I am good, everyone is good.

Just when Li Xun was trying to stabilize the situation in Longyou, Fengjing, thousands of miles away, some things were also quietly undergoing some changes.

Outside Zhao Zhi's palace, the crown prince Zhao Xun stood there quietly, waiting to be summoned.

Since the outbreak of the poisoning of the winged king Zhao He, Zhao Zhi had an extremely severe reprimand for Zhao Xun, that time, Zhao Xun had a defense, but obviously the effect was not great, and in the following month, Zhao Xun entered the palace more than ten times to ask to see Zhao Zhi, but they were all closed, and had to leave gloomily.

But Zhao Xun never gave up, and every few days, he had to enter the palace to greet Zhao Zhi and ask for a summons.

The poisoning of Yiwang Zhao He happened too suddenly, and after the incident, the Yiwang party and the Yang party immediately launched a crazy attack on the prince and his henchmen in the court, fortunately, Zhao Zhi has always been in poor health as an excuse, did not attend the court meeting, has always been the political hall ministers co-chairing the court meeting, although they can influence the direction of the court to a certain extent when the emperor is not there, but for the prince, it is obviously not enough, which makes the matter not immediately conclusive, gave Zhao Xun a respite and opportunity.

Zhao Xun frowned and pondered, the matter came too suddenly, and after the incident broke out, the Yiwang party and the Yang party immediately united, and immediately launched actions above the court, one ring after another, the occurrence and progress of the matter were too strange, obviously someone was behind the promotion and organization, which made Zhao Xun have to wonder, Zhao He's poisoning, could it be a conspiracy against himself, could it be done by Zhao Shuo, the king of Chu? As for Zhao He's self-directed and self-acting, Zhao Xun didn't believe it too much, after all, the imperial doctor had already given a clear answer, Zhao He could be described as a life of nine deaths this time, almost losing his life, and even if he survived, he lost the ability to continue the heir, such a huge danger and price, Zhao He would do it? In Zhao Xun's opinion, I am afraid that any person in his right mind would not do this.

The door of the hall opened, and a person walked out, Zhao Xun raised his eyes, and his eyes were fixed, it was the left servant of the household department, Wang Congben.

Wang Congben also saw Zhao Xun, his body paused slightly, and then slowly walked down the steps.

Walking up to Zhao Xun, Wang Congben didn't say anything, just bowed, and then prepared to leave.

"Why?"

Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.

Wang Congben's steps stopped, he was silent for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, why do you knowingly ask?" ”

"Because of Yuwenzhen?"

Zhao Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Although we are monarchs and ministers, we are actually like brothers, for a woman, is it worth it?" ”

Wang Congben said silently: "Although Aunt Zhao is not my wife, she is my childhood sweetheart, and she is the favorite of my life, of course, a woman, no matter how much I love her, for the sake of the overall situation, for the sake of love, I can die, but I will never betray His Royal Highness the Prince..."

Zhao Xun asked puzzledly: "Then why do you..."

Wang Congben united dozens of princes and party officials, secretly played the emperor's affairs, Zhao Xun obviously already knew, this is undoubtedly a complete betrayal, Wang Congben was a member of the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, because of his handsome appearance, extraordinary talent, and his family background is also innocent, Zhao Zhi let him do it at the time He was only ten years old, Zhao Xun's accompanying explanation, not only to accompany Zhao Xun to read, but also to understand in class, after class, Wang Congben explained and explained to him.

For more than ten years, along the way, we have helped each other, can the relationship be good? Just like Zhao Xun said, although we are monarchs and ministers, we are actually like brothers, and now for a concubine, we have betrayed ourselves, and Zhao Xun is puzzled.

Wang Congben laughed, looked at Zhao Xun, his eyes were already red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Aunt Zhao's death makes me very sad, but compared to the great cause of His Royal Highness the Prince, what is it?" What is it compared to my ambitions? But His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know that after Aunt Zhao was killed by that brute, I can't take revenge, I can only endure the humiliation, but what is the exchange? It's everyone's ridicule and contempt, I can't hold my head up and be a man, I can't even be a man, how can I talk about ambition and great cause? ”

Wang Congben seemed to have put the words in his heart, and finally said them, so happy that the whole person seemed a little crazy.

Zhao Xun looked at Wang Congben and was silent, less anger and more guilt in his heart.

Wang Congben's concubine Aunt Zhao, beautiful in appearance, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, was originally born in the family of the eunuch, but later the family fell in the middle of the road and was forced to live in the land of blue and white, it was Wang Congben who wasted a lot of effort to save Aunt Zhao from that place, the love story of the two people can be described as extremely tortuous and touching.

But the love story of the two ended in tragedy, Yuwen Zhen coveted Aunt Zhao's beauty and wanted to rape, but was strongly resisted and finally killed.
