"It's a fake Chen He went home to visit his relatives. It turned out that he was going to Xizhou."

Li Xun looked at Fan Zhongyun: "Is this your idea?"

Fan Zhongyun said indifferently: "Don't get me wrong. I asked Chen He to go to Xizhou. There is no other intention, and it is not intentionally concealing it from you."

Sima Tu said: "Lei Wanhai has good martial arts, but his literary strategy is insufficient. If Chen He had not been assisted by him this time, Xizhou would be in danger."

Fan Zhongyun said: "The reason why the emperor handled the matter in Xizhou with gentle means was nothing more than fearing the 15,000 troops in Lei Wanhai's hands. If Lei Wanhai rebelled, he would cut off the tax road in the Western Regions. The harm was too great. Be gentle and transfer it back to the Central Plains. It can not only eliminate the danger but also use it for your own use. Why not do it? The emperor is just a matter of interests. Don't think about things too well."

Li Xun sighed, "Whatever happens to you will change your taste."

Fan Zhongyun sneered: "Li Zhong is a man of selflessness, without desires and hopes. Since he returned to Fengjing, he has abandoned his left and right. The generals and officials who have been fooled by him and have been born and died with him have been gradually alienated by him. For that little reputation, for his own reputation, and for that little kindness, he has to be a lonely man."

Li Xun said: "You can't be ruthless, right?"

"If you have good conduct and have successful achievements, you may not be credible if you destroy a person. You should not lose money after a year of hard work."

Fan Zhongyun shook his head and said in a low voice: "So affection and righteousness also depend on the environment and who to whom. Once the emperor changes the environment, the thoughts and means must also change accordingly. Li Zhong cares too much about those who are false reputations and bound him to death. He is not an ordinary person, but the right prime minister of the current dynasty, and above ten thousand people. In front of the late emperor, he pushed him to the position of left prime minister in hope that he can lead the government and give the emperor the greatest support and help. If he wants to do all this, it is absolutely impossible to do with his personal strength alone. He must have enough political power, or even a political group."

Li Xun said: "If Li Zhong was like this, the emperor would definitely be very suspicious of him."

"If you don't do anything, you will be suspicious? Since you have reached that level and a position, you can still protect yourself. If you are weak, you will suffer. A sharp weapon has always been a double-edged sword, which can hurt the enemy or how many people can hurt it. It depends on where the sword holder will cut the sword."

Fan Zhongyun said: "Today, although Li Zhong is the right prime minister, his existence and role have become weaker and weaker. Not only can he not help the emperor, but he has gradually become a burden and a waste of money. This situation is not only uncomfortable for Li Zhong, but also for the emperor, and it is difficult to get rid of the tiger."

After hearing Fan Zhongyun's words, Li Xun remained silent.

Although Fan Zhongyun's words were unpleasant, they made sense. Li Zhong could play a certain role in the position of the Left Prime Minister. After all, military affairs were his strengths. Moreover, with Li Zhong's reputation and prestige in the army, his words and orders were somewhat afraid, whether they were local generals or local vassal states.

However, since becoming the right prime minister, Li Zhong's existence has become weaker and weaker, because the right prime minister's duty is to lead all officials and lead the government affairs. Such a person and position can be both a powerful opponent of the emperor and a huge helper of the emperor. Of course, no matter what point, you must have a sufficient weight in the court. Li Zhong is naturally very weighty, but this weight is more of a false reputation than real power. How can a right prime minister who does not have real power lead the government affairs, how can he lead all officials, and how can he help the emperor?

Li Xun didn't want to talk more about this issue, so he said: "How to solve the problem in Xizhou?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "Xizhou's new meridian mutiny is now rampant bandits, and the situation is very unstable. At this time, Lei Wanhai cannot leave, and there is a Huang Hongliang who is ill-hearted on the side."

Li Xun frowned and said, "I'm afraid the emperor is suspicious of this and thinks that these are all our deliberate actions."

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said indifferently: "What happened in Xizhou is a fact, not a story. What is important now is not whether Lei Wanhai will come back, but whether Huang Hongliang has the intention to rebel. The Helan Kingdom is the fastest way to connect the Great Jin Dynasty in the Western Regions, while Xizhou is the only way between the two places. The location is extremely important. Once Huang Hongliang rebels, Xizhou will be in danger. Without Xizhou, the connection between the entire Western Regions and the Great Jin Dynasty will be completely interrupted. Can the emperor bear such serious consequences?"

Li Xun pursed his lips and his expression became heavy.

The emperor naturally could not bear the consequences mentioned by Fan Zhongyun. Once the Xizhou is lost, it is not just that the connection between the two places is cut off. It is very likely to cause a chain reaction. After all, the countries in the Western Regions are extremely dissatisfied with Yuwen's robbery. This dissatisfaction may have turned into resentment. Once there is a chance, the unsentful elements hidden in the dark will definitely take the opportunity to arise. By then, the entire Western Regions will be completely in chaos.

Thinking of this, Li Xun stood up and said in a deep voice: "I will enter the palace immediately."

Fan Zhongyun and Sima Tu both stood up.

Fan Zhongyun said: "Don't talk too much about Xizhou, and don't contact the Huang family."

Li Xun asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

Fan Zhongyun said in a low voice: "Herland is the political benefit given to the Huang family by the emperor. To put it simply, Helan belongs to the entire Huang family. Huang Hongliang has ambitions and can only represent him personally, not his family."

"I understand what you mean."

Li Xun nodded, took down Huang Hongliang and replaced him with another Huang family.

Zhao Xun did not expect that there would be so many things today. He had not recovered from the shock of Shang Hong and Wu Shan being killed. Li Xun returned and brought even worse news.

On Zhao Xun's table was placed with Lei Wanhai's memorial, including the secret letter. Li Xun felt that some things would be better if they were told, and there was no need to hide them. Moreover, the words Lei Wanhai said in the secret letter were not a traitor or sensitive thing, but the truth.

Zhao Xun had a gloomy face and looked at Li Xun from time to time with a cold look, while the latter stood there quietly, looking frank.

Zhao Xun said in a cold tone: "Li Xiangguo, your subordinates are really thinking about you everywhere!"

Li Xun sighed secretly in his heart. What he got from his honesty was Zhao Xun's suspicion.

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Emperor, Huang Hongliang built a city in Qianshan without the consent of the court, and stationed heavy troops. He showed his rebellion. We must be on guard, Qianshan..."

Qianshan has a dangerous terrain. For the Western Regions, it is the eastern gate of the Western Regions. For the Jin Dynasty, it is the fastest way to enter the hinterland of the central Western Regions. More importantly, Qianshan is only about 200 miles away from Xizhou City, and it is only a short day. If Huang Hongliang raises an army to rebel, he can lead a large army to the city of Xizhou in one day.
