Xu Li and Guo Zong looked at Zhao Kuo's figure, their eyes full of admiration.

Stupid people will only blame others when facing adversity, while truly intelligent people know how to find forces that are conducive to their own development and growth in adversity.

In the eyes of these two retainers, their lord is undoubtedly the smartest person in the world.

It is precisely because Zhao Kuo has such personal charm that top talents like Xu Li, Guo Zong, Li Mu, Li Si, and Han Fei were attracted to him and were willing to do their best to serve Zhao Kuo! Once Datong City is built and the steel smelting workshop outside the city officially starts, then Zhao Kuo will truly take over this land.

Neither the Empress Dowager nor Lin Xiangru, Le Cheng and others knew that the exile and suffering they thought actually made Wu Xinjun escape from their sight and become a real tiger returning to the mountain.

In time, the entire northern part of Zhao will be the world ruled by this tiger! At this moment, the political enemies of Zhao Kuo such as Lin Xiangru actually had no intention of paying attention to Zhao Kuo, because they had fallen into Zhao Kuo's previous calculations.

Handan, Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru's mansion.

Three carriages drove into Lin Xiangru's mansion respectively. Lin Xiangru, the owner, was also waiting in front of the hall, which showed that the identity of the visitor was very noble.

"Leqing, Zhouqing, Lianqing, please, please, please."

Lin Xiangru smiled and invited Le Cheng, Zhou Shaofen and Lian Po into the lobby.

The four of them sat down, and the rest of them looked at Lian Po for the most part.

Since the defeat in the Battle of Jidu two years ago, Lian Po was deprived of Wu Xiangjun's title and was directly demoted to Xiaqing. At the same time, he was dismissed from all his official positions and was ordered by the Queen Mother to reflect at home.

After Lian Po lost his power, the thousands of visitors from his mansion ran away in just half a month, and only a few loyal people remained.

Everyone felt that Lian Po's political life had basically ended. In the past two years, Lian Po had been living in seclusion. Even Zhou Shaofen, an old ally, saw him for the first time.

You don’t have to think about it and know that this must be a big deal that forced Lian Po to come out.

As the master, Lin Xiangru was the first to speak with a serious expression: "Everyone, this is the matter. The Queen Mother just summoned me to the palace to make the case for Lian Jing."

As soon as Lin Xiangru finished speaking, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became different.

Lin Xiangru looked around and said helplessly: "The Empress Dowager said that she would not express her opinion on Lian Jing's matter. She asked me to discuss it by myself and report it after discussing a result."

Zhou Shaofen was a little surprised and said, "So, the Empress Dowager actually gave us a lot of room for ease."

The Empress Dowager's words are actually very simple - whether to convict Lian Jing and what crimes should be convicted? Lin Xiangru, just call your allies to discuss and then report them to approve it.

Lin Xiangru nodded and said, "Yes, the Empress Dowager is also trying to support us, so we must discuss a satisfactory result."

At this moment, Lian Po spoke in a muffled voice: "Isn't the result very obvious?

Jing'er is just a deputy general, so it is normal for him to act according to orders.

Of course, accountability is to be held accountable, but the title can be demoted, so it is better to keep the official position."

Lian Po is the eldest son of Lian Po and the next generation of patriarchs appointed by the Lian clan in the future. The reason why Lian Po appeared here today is to save Lian Jing.

To put it bluntly, a title is face. Of course, there is no face if you lose a battle, so it doesn’t matter if you give up the title.

But the level of official positions directly determines the size of control power, so naturally Lian Po could not make any concessions in this regard.

After Lian Po said this, Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen did not object, but Le Cheng was obviously unhappy.

Le Cheng said coldly: "I don't like to listen to Lian Qing's words anymore.

What does Lian Jing mean just obey orders?

At that time, Lian Jing was the county lieutenant, and Leqi was also the county lieutenant. The positions between the two were completely equal.

The reason why the decision to fight the Huns was necessarily the result of the two people's joint discussion.

Although the battle was lost, Leqi was at least responsible and died in a heroic battle.

Where is Lian Jing?

He took the people to escape, and once he ran away, he fled to Jinyang County, like a wild dog with his tail between his legs, and never looked back! Now, the person who was willing to die in battle for the sake of the entire army became the chief general and the person who needed to bear all the charges.

The person who flinched and fled was instead the so-called "obedience" deputy general. He only needed to be demoted a little, and could even be restored to his post?

Wen Xinjun, Zhou Qing, listen to you two, what's going on!"

Le Cheng was very angry.

Of course I can understand that Lian Po wants to protect your son.

But why do you throw the blame for the failure of the war on my Lecheng tribe members in order to protect your son?

Your son’s life is life, but the lives of my tribe are not life?

Your son’s official position and reputation are important, but the official position and reputation of our tribe are not important?

After Le Cheng finished speaking, Lian Po frowned immediately.

Lian Po's personality is well known to everyone in the world, in general, he has a very irritable temper and very irritable.

Although the blows of successive defeats and dismissal from office and demotion over the years have made Lian Po much more restrained, as the saying goes, it is easy to change the country and nature are difficult to change. Besides, this matter is related to the life and future of the heir of Lian Po’s eldest son. How could Lian Po be truly calm?

So Lian Po immediately spoke, "The Grand Sima's words are wrong.

Leqi is already a dead person, so why should he let the living continue to suffer because of this dead person?”

Le Cheng was furious and said, "The dead should help the living to take the blame. What is the reason for this?

Lian Jing can avoid death, but he cannot escape the crime of living! He must be demoted and given titles, so that the Empress Dowager and the Grand Zhao can see our justice and be convinced by us!"

Le Cheng was tit-for-tat and was completely unwilling to make any concessions.

Of course, Le Cheng also has his own considerations.

Are you a very strange old man who has been dismissed from office by the Empress Dowager? Why do you want my honorary Zhao State official Le Cheng to come and let you go?

If this is really concession, wouldn't others say when it is spread: "Don't you think Lian Po has been dismissed from office, but with Lian Po's order, Le Cheng is as noble as the Grand Sima of Zhao State, and he can only let the dead tribe members help Lian Po's eldest son Lian Jing take the charge of taking charge."

Is the great Sima of Zhao State not worthy of face?

Looking at the tense atmosphere between the two, Lin Xiangru couldn't help but interrupt: "Both, calm down first.

Haven't you seen that this is a completely special plan set up by Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo to alienate us?

We can't be fooled!"
