Zhao Dan nodded, and then replied: "The queen mother may not know that this Li Mu was once a guest of the prince's mansion, and he was recommended to the former king by his sons. After the death of the first emperor, he entered Handan to report on his work, and his son was allowed to stay in Yanmen County, so he served as the county guard of Yanmen County for nearly ten years. ”

"Hey! You are too gullible to trust others, and you have always been a lonely widow for the king, how can you guarantee your courtiers. Zhao Weihou sighed and continued: "Even if Li Mu will not plot against him, he has governed Yanmen County for many years, avoiding the enemy and not fighting, causing tens of thousands of people to be homeless. ”

"What the queen mother heard was what Lord Yan said, and Ke Erchen had heard another completely different statement here." Zhao Jie pointed to his ear and said to Zhao Weihou.

"Yo!" Zhao Weihou couldn't help but be interested after listening to Zhao Jie's words, so he ordered: "Come and listen!" ”

In order to save Li Mu's life, Zhao Dan continued to explain to Zhao Weihou: "Li Mu was born in a family of military generals in the Northland, and his ancestors followed King Wuling to open up the three counties in the Northland, and made many military exploits and was named the general of the border, so the family moved to settle in Daijun. The Li family has been loyal and good for generations, and has defended northern Xinjiang for decades, but nearly 100 people died in battle, but they are still one after another. Li Mu is the leader of the fourth generation of descendants of the Li family, who adheres to the responsibility of the ancestors, guards Yanmen County for many years, so that the Xiongnu do not dare to go south, the court does not have to look north, known as the title of "Dinghai Shenpin" in the north. ”

Picking up the teacup and snorting slightly, Zhao Dan continued: "Since General Lian Po returned from the Northland ten years ago, I, the Zhao State, have worked hard to develop in the Central Plains, and have mobilized troops from the Northland many times, so the troops of the three counties in the Northland have to change from offensive to defensive. The art of war is cloudy: those who are good defenders have no outstanding merits, what I want to say is Li Mu! He guarded Yanmen County for many years, with a small number of troops in his hands, he was stunned that every time the Huns invaded, he killed the most and lost the least, and the people of Yanmen County called him the 'protector of Yanmen County'. As for the news of the displacement of more than 10,000 people, I think this is also the inevitable result of the war, after all, what war in this world will not cause tens of thousands of displaced people? ”

"In addition, I also heard that among all the people in Yanmen County, it is these homeless people in Yan Qing's mouth who love Li Mu the most, which shows that these people are often properly resettled by Li Mu after the war, so most of them will only hate the Xiongnu because of this, but they will not hate the government and the court because of this, let alone dislike their protection of Li Mu." Zhao Dan paused, sighed for a few breaths, and continued.

"In this way, Li Mu is a very good official!" Zhao Weihou asked suspiciously when he heard this, and Zhao Dan nodded when he heard this.

"After the prestige, even if Li Mu is a good official who loves the people, but he has been an official for a long time and has won the hearts of the people, once he takes advantage of the fact that the court can't look north, it will be a big crisis for my Zhao State!" Yan Ju's determination was already shaken after seeing Zhao Wei, and he hurriedly continued to suggest.

"Yan Ju, it's you, it's you, it's you, what is your intention in vainly trying to frame a loyal country?" Zhao Dan suddenly stood up from the throne, pointed at Yan Ju and roared.

"King, sit down!" Zhao Weihou said without anger: "Yan Qing's family is also honest and seeking the country, for the sake of your Zhao family, you can't insult it." ”

Zhao Dan sat back on the throne unwillingly, and Zhao Weihou continued: "According to the old body, it is indeed time for the county guard of Yanmen County to be replaced, and the Qing family will discuss the replacement candidate together!" ”

"Queen Mother, Li Mu is loyal ......" Zhao Dan hurriedly spoke again, but was interrupted by Zhao Weihou's words: "Li Mu has indeed been an official Yanmen for too long, and this time he will be transferred to any idle position in Handan to avoid suspicion, so that no one can frame him for plotting misdeeds after that." ”

"Got it!" Zhao Dan still said with a bitter face when he heard this: "But Yanmen County is a military powerhouse, who can replace Li Mu to guard it?" ”

"My son must not underestimate the heroes of the world, I think General Yan Juyan is good, he is good at military affairs, he is loyal, and he is the best candidate for succession."

"The Queen Mother is wise!" Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was the first to echo when he heard this, and the ministers followed closely behind him and praised him.

"Since everyone has no opinion, I think it's decided." Zhao Weihou finally clapped his head and said: "The king will start to do it as soon as possible!" ”

Handan, Yanfu, a group of men are gathered in the lobby to listen to the king's decree.

"The king has an order, and Yan Ju, the commander of the relocation of the country, will be the county guard of Yanmen County, and will be in charge of the civil and military affairs of Yanmen County, and he will leave the country and go north after three days, and he shall not be stranded." The announcer conveyed his will to the man in charge.

"Command!" Yan Ju received the decree with the royal decree from the hand of the proclaimer, and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Yan doesn't have to be so polite, let's be even! The proclamator helped Yan Ju up and agreed: "Since Lord Yan has received the order, let's quickly pack up our things!" I remember that three days later, the north gate of Handan converged and went to Yanmen County together. "Definitely! Certain! Yan Ju said with a smile on his face: "Please also take care of my brother on the road." ”

"Well said! Say! When the announcer heard this, he also said modestly: "In this case, see you in three days, brother, I will leave now." ”

As soon as the proclamator was sent away, a visitor came to the Yan Mansion. "Brother Guo, what kind of wind is blowing you!" Yan Ju warmly welcomed humanity.

"What else can there be in the wind! What else will the wind in the world that can Guo Zong up except for the money wind? The visitor smiled faintly.

"That's right! Tell me, what do you want me to help with? Yan Ju secretly pondered for a while and asked uncertainly: "You don't want to take a share of the profits of the market, do you?" ”

Guo Zong shook his head and said: "I really want to get involved in the Rongchang opened in Pingcheng County, Beidi, but I will not interfere in the final profit distribution, what I want to control is the source of the Rongchang trade, that is, to block the way for merchants to go to the Rongchang and monopolize the source of goods in the Rongchang, and if you want to do this, you will inevitably need the help of you, the future warden of Yanmen County." ”

"Then what do I get, what do our factions get." Yan Ju said with a treacherous and cunning smile: "You must know that the current head of the field is the son of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and Pingyuan Jun has a deep foundation in the clan faction, this time we risked breaking the relationship with the clan faction to get the position of the county guard of Yanmen County, we can't help but compensate a large amount of money."
