Li Xun returned to the Governor's Mansion and Fan Zhongyun had returned.

Seeing that Li Xun was refreshed and in a good mood, Fan Zhongyun smiled and said: "It seems that Wu Heng didn't get any good results from you today."

Li Xun stood next to Fan Zhongyun and said with a proud smile: "I have tolerated him for a long time. Today I have this opportunity. If I don't show his face, he really thinks that I, Li Xun, are afraid of him."

Later, Li Xun told Fan Zhongyun what happened.

Fan Zhongyun nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "Li Xun, if you report these two cases to the court, I'm afraid it won't mean much and it won't hurt Wu Heng."

Li Xun was confused and said: "The emperor's uncle has always hated evil and hated corrupt officials even more. Wu Heng's traces in these two cases are very obvious. If the emperor's uncle knew about it, he would definitely be punished for serious crimes."

"The emperor does hate corrupt officials, but it also depends on who they are."

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said softly: "Wu Heng's sister is the royal concubine of the King of Chu. He can be regarded as the core figure of the Yang family. The seven states in the west of Longyou have just been recovered and there are a large number of foreign people. They have no interest in the Jin Dynasty.

Any sense of belonging, the Jin Dynasty also treats them the same way, if a few foreigners are killed unjustly, the emperor will never go to war over it."

Li Xun shook his head: "Whether they are Han people, Dashi people, or people from various countries in the Western Regions, since they live on this land and within the territory of Jin Dynasty, they are the people of Jin Dynasty and should be treated fairly.

Regarding the nearly one million foreign people in the entire seven states in the west of Longyou, instead of enslaving them, why not embrace all rivers and let them live and work in peace and contentment, farm their own land, and pay their taxes? Wouldn't this be beneficial to both them and us?"

Fan Zhongyun admired Li Xun's thinking very much, but he still shook his head and said: "Li Xun, your thinking is very open-minded, but this kind of thinking can only represent you personally. I'm afraid the entire court, including the emperor, will not think so?"

"What do they think?"

"Non-my family, its heart must be different."

Li Xun raised his hair and stared blankly for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile: "This topic is too complicated and cannot be explained clearly, but the actual situation now is how to deal with nearly a million foreign people in the seven states in the west of Longyou.

"

Fan Zhongyun said: "Wu Heng once wrote to the imperial court, preparing to fully restore the Han system in Wuzhou, force the people to learn Chinese, destroy all temples except Buddhist temples, and not allow the people to believe in Tianlan religion. Regarding his proposal, the ministers in the DPRK were very angry.

For approval."

Li Xun touched his chin. During that time, there were many disputes in the imperial court, but he rarely went out, and rarely inquired about the affairs of the imperial court. He did not expect that Wu Heng actually wrote to the imperial court regarding the civil affairs of Wuzhou,

And it has the support of many ministers.

"Wu Heng, I rarely hear about his deeds in Fengjing."

"Wu Heng is a very talented and smart man, but he has no morals. Yang Daosi used him but did not reuse him. He has been serving as an official in other places for these years and has never allowed him to return to Beijing to serve."

Li Xun nodded: "Yang Daosi is very knowledgeable about people."

"The people of the seven states in the west of Longyou, whether they are Dashi people or Han people, have been religious for a long time. The position of Tianlan religion in their hearts may not be much lighter. Simply and crudely cutting off their beliefs will only lead to disasters.

disaster."

The topic turned back again, Li Xun shook his head and sighed: "It is easy to destroy a person's body, but it is extremely difficult to destroy his faith."

Fan Zhongyun nodded in appreciation and said, "What you said is very insightful and reasonable."

Li Xun felt a little depressed. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth for a while. Finally, he looked at Fan Zhongyun, frowned and said, "I want to do something in Wuzhou. This is also the purpose of following you here. Unfortunately,

There was Wu Heng standing in the middle, which gave me a lot of strength, but I couldn't use it."

"After today's argument, it can be seen that there is no possibility of resolution between you and Wu Heng."

Li Xun said: "Wuzhou, Wu Heng and I can only exist together. If he leaves or I leave, Wu Heng is here, and I can't do anything."

Fan Zhongyun nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already figured it out."

Li Xun frowned and said: "But he has the position of supervising the army and is restricting me. Although I am the governor of Wuzhou, I can't command Wang Tuyuan and the others."

Fan Zhongyun said quietly: "Li Xun, don't forget, besides the governor of Wuzhou, you also have another position."

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he did have another official position.

"Inspector of Longyou West Road?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "The scope of the supervisory envoy's responsibilities is very wide. They include impeachment of officials, presentation of justice, review of criminal names, inspection of ceremonies, etc. The imperial court does not pay much attention to foreign people, so the two case files in your hand are of great use.

It’s not very big, but you can start from other aspects!”

Li Xun nodded. In that case, there is actually no need to go to the county government to argue with Wu Heng today. As a supervisor, he can directly refute and return the judgment of any criminal case in Wuzhou for retrial.

Li Xun sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have been so busy recently that I even forgot about this incident. If I had known this, I would have directly dismissed the governor's verdict and asked him to retry it as a supervisor. Why bother wasting so much time?

.”

"You can't say that. Your confrontation with Wu Heng today is actually very necessary."

Li Xun looked at Fan Zhongyun and asked puzzledly: "How to say?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "Let us see clearly how much influence Wu Heng has on Wang Tuyuan and others."

Li Xun pondered for a moment and said: "Wang Tuyuan led his troops into the city without any regard based on Wu Heng's words. However, Wang Chengxi has always been lukewarm towards me. I have let him control him several times.

The soldiers and horses were transferred back to Wu'an City, but he kept his troops stationary on the grounds that the security in Shenchi County was unstable and the remnants of the mob had not been completely wiped out. These two people should have completely turned to Wu Heng and obeyed his orders, while Yuan He and You

When fighting against these two people, you should be neutral and follow my orders selectively without offending Wu Heng."

"Since you have seen the truth, I won't say anything more. The current situation in Wuzhou is quite stable. As for the army, we can take it slow and there is no need to worry."

Fan Zhongyun said: "The transfer of Wu Heng to the position of governor of Wuzhou and concurrently as military supervisor should be a compromise between the emperor and the Yang family in order to allow you to smoothly serve as governor of Wuzhou. Therefore, Wu Heng's current position and rights

, is not what the emperor wants to give him. Now, no matter whether Wu Heng moves or not, we must move. The emperor may be waiting for an opportunity now, an excuse to take away Wu Heng."

Li Xun asked: "What do you think?"

Fan Zhongyun said: "Wu Heng is not only greedy for money, but also lustful. It is said that a concubine he took has never been liked by Wu Heng's mother. Wu Heng recently invited many famous doctors to the house, probably to treat his mother's illness.

Why did Wu Heng's mother get sick? Maybe it has something to do with this concubine."

There was joy on Li Xun's face. The Jin Dynasty has always put filial piety first, so much so that in this world, literati and officials bowed to heaven and earth, kneeling to their father and mother, and others did not kneel. A seventh-rank official, when meeting the emperor, all

No need to kneel down.

"Give me the evidence and I will immediately write to the emperor's uncle to tell Wu Heng to get out immediately."

Unfilial piety is a serious crime, and if Wu Heng is to die, he will have to shed his skin.

Faced with Li Xun's excitement, Fan Zhongyun was a little hesitant: "This... this, some things don't matter whether you need evidence or not!"

ah!

Li Xun was stunned for a while before he realized that Fan Zhongyun actually asked him to falsely accuse Wu Hengxing.

"Lao Fan, I never thought that you would be able to say such a thing."

Fan Zhongyun is very flexible and open-minded in his dealings with others, but overall, he is still a very upright person. Now that he says such words, there is indeed a slight contrast between Li Xun and Li Xun.
