Zhao Zhi's toughness and decisiveness benefited from the full support of Yang Daolin, the right minister, and Li Zhong needless to say, naturally he has always stood on Zhao Zhi's side, with the support of the left and right, Zhao Zhi began to purge the court in a tough and large-scale manner, and the winged kings Zhao He and Yang Binglin were hit hard, and a large number of party henchmen were either demoted or exiled.

The strength of the crown prince Zhao Xun has been greatly improved.

Under such high pressure, except for the princeling forces, the rest of the parties can only avoid its edge.

The first year of Tianhe, the eighth day of the second month.

Succeeded Liu Zhigu, Zhan Tai Yi Heng took the position of the minister of the political hall as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and reigned for only a few months, Zhao Zhi kicked Zhan Tai Yi Heng out of the political hall with unclear political affairs and lack of ability, Zhan Tai Yi Heng was once a party of the right minister, and was the protégé of Yang Daosi, after Yang Daosi's death, Yang Daolin was the right minister, and the Jin Dynasty began with Taizu, the position of the political affairs hall and the country, a family can only have one person, Yang Daolin only needs one day as the prime minister, Yang Binglin will never have the possibility and opportunity to enter the political hall, Many people think that Yang Daosi is the right minister, which is just an excess, but the development of things is obviously not like this.

Although Yang Daosi is dead, the right party still exists, the rights are still there, and the Yang family will replace the vacancy, for this, Zhao Zhi does not mind, but this person is by no means Yang Binglin, Yang Binglin is too strong, and his ambition is too big, he only talks about means, and only has family interests in his heart, without the slightest national emotion, because in Yang Binglin's view, the family is fundamental, as long as the strength is strong, even if the Jin Dynasty falls, the Yang family can still prosper forever, how can such a person be the prime minister?

If Zhao Zhi is in the prime of life, he may take advantage of Yang Binglin's character flaws, calmly deploy, and hit the Yang family little by little, so that it will completely decline or even perish, but unfortunately time does not wait for me, Zhao Zhi does not have so much time, when he is alive, his majesty is enough to suppress Yang Binglin and all dissenting forces, but once Zhao Zhi is dead, the new emperor of the crown prince Zhao Xun is too fragile, Zhao Zhi cannot not plan for the future, he must remove all obstacles and potential dangers for Zhao Xun as much as possible before he dies.

Yang Daolin is the right minister, not the best candidate in Zhao Zhi's heart, but in this time period, he is the most suitable person, his existence is the biggest obstacle for Yang Binglin to enter the Xiangguo, he exists for a day, Yang Binglin does not want to enter the political hall as the minister, he as the patriarch of the Yang family, although he inherited the political power of his father Yang Daohei in the court, but did not get the position of Xiangguo, the right and nameless, it seems that there is nothing, but there are just some times, this name is very important.

Yang Daolin has the country in his heart, there is righteousness, he knows Yang Binglin's character and personality very well, he occupies the position of the right minister, even if he has no rights, but at least he can be used as a buffer to limit the political struggle to a certain extent, once he retreats, Yang Binglin will definitely go all out to impact the position of Xiangguo, and Zhao Zhi will naturally block and counterattack with all his might, the collision between the two sides may be extremely intense, if both sides lose their minds in the end, then the result will be extremely terrible, Yang Daolin never wanted to see this, so although he was squeezed out by Yang Binglin, Yang Daolin just didn't retreat.

In the face of Zhao Zhi's crazy blow, no one dared to confront it head-on, so he could only endure it for the time being.

There will be a turning point in the development of things, and this turning point will come soon.

That is, Li Xun and Zhan Bai, when the armies of the two sides fought and confronted each other in Juyan City, the news that Li Xun sent troops to the Western Regions returned to Fengjing, which immediately caused a shock to the Manchu Dynasty.

Yang Binglin and Yiwang Zhao He formed an alliance with the two political groups, and suddenly exerted their strength to impeach Li Xun without the resolution of the imperial court and sent troops to the Western Regions without authorization, and for a time launched a strong counterattack above the court.

Although the local festival envoy has a relatively free right to military action, it is only relative, unless it is those military forces that divide the place and compete with the imperial court, such as Li Xun, a local feudal town that obeys orders and is loyal to the imperial court, small-scale wars, can do their own thing, if it is a large-scale, life-and-death decisive battle, then you must consult the imperial court, and act without orders, which is a big crime.

The group impeachment of Yang Binglin and others not only made Zhao Zhi unable to speak, but also disrupted all his next deployments, Zhao Zhi was extremely angry about this, but anger could not solve any problems, since the matter had happened, he could only face it.

Li Xun in the second Longyou War, the performance is remarkable, this, Zhao Zhi is very satisfied, after the war, Li Xun was promoted and reused, and all the military and political power of the seven states in the west of Longyou was handed over to Li Xun, but also out of concern and care, Wang Dezhao and Li Changchun and other more than 40,000 people were transferred to Wuzhou, so that Li Xun could select capable elite soldiers from them, so as to supplement the military strength of the western part of Longyou.

Who would have thought that Li Xun would be so bold and reckless, without asking for instructions and getting the approval of the imperial court, sending troops without authorization, and almost using all his strength to invade the Western Regions, once defeated, the western part of Longyou, which is empty, is almost vulnerable, not only the land of the seven states in the western part of Longyou is in danger of being lost, but even the northern province of Longyou and even the land of Anbei that has just stabilized, the situation will become unpredictable, and the Hu people are very likely to take advantage of the weakness, and the consequences will be extremely serious.

Zhao Zhi was very angry at Li Xun's unauthorized dispatch of troops, but for Li Xun's punishment, it must also be put in the future, if it is according to the impeachment of Yang Binglin and others, it is a capital crime, even if you want to kill or chop, you have to wait for Li Xun to come back and make it clear, you can't set the tone now, there is no room for tactfulness.

There was a controversy and chaos in the court, because of Li Xun, Zhao Zhiyuan planned to take advantage of the situation to take down the Xiangguo Xiao Hui, who was the last in the political affairs hall to participate in the governor's political affairs, and the Pingzhang affairs under the Tongzhongshu Sect, and to reorganize the political affairs hall and maintain the seven-phase pattern The plan and mind can only be put aside for the time being.

Until February 13, Li Xun's handwritten secret letter finally reached Zhao Zhi's hands, which explained in detail the compulsion to send troops to the Western Regions, as well as the dispatch of troops to the Western Regions.

This letter was written after Li Xun successfully won the Seven Kingdoms in the Eastern Western Regions, which can be regarded as a prelude to the first cut, but Li Xun is very smart, he knows what the imperial court lacks now, lack of money and food, so Li Xun promised in the letter that no matter if there is any major breakthrough in the follow-up war, the money and grain have reached millions of dollars in the materials seized so far, and they will never be kept privately, and all of them will be transported to Fengjing to be handed over.

After reading Li Xun's letter, the anger in Zhao Zhi's heart has subsided a little, and at the same time, he has some other thoughts, the imperial court is now in extreme financial difficulty, and the officials in Beijing have not issued the money for half a year, especially after the end of the Second Longyou War, the rewards of many meritorious people, and the promotion of high-level officials are only part of it, and the vast majority of low-level soldiers and low-level officials, the money and food that should be rewarded have been owed, not that Zhao Zhi does not want to send it, it is really a financial difficulty, and he can't send it if he wants to.

Now Li Xun assured in the letter that his booty was at least millions of dollars, and if this material could be transported to Fengjing, it could be said that Zhao Zhi or the imperial court could breathe a sigh of relief, and the financial difficulties would be alleviated to a certain extent.
