Five hundred and ninetieth chapters counterattack
Li Xun leaned back on the chair, rubbed his eyebrows, and his head hurt a little.
Li Xun sent troops to the Western Regions, and he did take action first and then report it. This kind of thing can be big or small, depending on the person. For example, when Li Zhongjie was in Anbei, he often took action first and then reported it. In large-scale military operations, Li Zhong fought and decided to do so. He dared to do this. It was not only because of the special nature of fighting with the Hu clan, but more because of Zhao Zhi's absolute trust in him and the court's great trust in Li Zhong's military talents. If someone changed it, it would be a different matter. For example, the Battle of Jiangnan in the main general Huang was so sacrificed, and the battle would definitely be the forefront of the fierce general who charged forward with a great victory. In the end, it was because of the few greedy words of the general Liu Congxi of the army, and he almost committed a serious crime without success. After all, it was because of Zhao Zhi's distrust and some casual movements that made Zhao Zhi suddenly feel suspicious and suspicious.
Fan Zhongyun clearly calculated the account of the war for himself, but now it seems that he did not calculate the account of the politics. Sima Tu had some reminders about this before he sent troops to the Western Regions, but he didn't think much about it at that time. He thought that with his relationship with Zhao Zhi, what could this deviant move be calculated? Moreover, Zhao Zhi also gave himself the right to act cheaply. As long as he sent troops to the Western Regions, as long as the losses were not too serious and the gains were quite considerable, there would be nothing wrong. Now it seems that he was thinking too simply. In the current court, a strong political storm is taking shape, and he may be the target of this storm.
Li Xun pondered for a long time, looked at the person in front of him, and said indifferently: "What's your name?"
"My subordinate Wang Mo is directly under the four masters of Hu Zeng."
Wang Mo hurriedly bowed and said.
Li Xun nodded, and directly under the command of Hu Zeng and the other four. Such people are elite among the secret guards. This person looks ordinary and has good abilities. The spy directly under the secret guard leader is not very low in the secret guards.
"I've worked hard all the way. Go down and get a hundred taels of silver reward and have a good rest."
"Thank you for your kindness and reward."
Wang Mo thanked him, then took out a few letters and handed them to Li Xun. These were also news from the capital, but they were not very important and could be recorded in the letters.
Li Xun picked up the letter and looked at it carefully, but it was a few things that were not big or small.
After the court initiated the impeachment of itself, the former low-key prince Zhao Xun's party began to make efforts. Because of his own affairs, political conflicts broke out with Yang Binglin, King of Wing Zhao He and other forces, and the two sides fought in the court.
Zhao Zhi did not want to make things worse, and this would not do anything to him or Li Xun. Therefore, Zhao Zhi's attitude eased. He and others had some compromises and concessions in the court. He decided to send Zongzheng Temple Minister, King Zhao Tong of Qu, General Zhang Xing of Zuo Tongwei, Tao Kan, and Yao Gu as Deputy Envoys of Observation, and a group of people went to Wuzhou to inspect the situation and war situation in the Western Regions.
The Minister of Revenue He Zhongkai was reported to be corrupt and sold for official positions, and was attacked by many censors of the Censorate, whose reputation was damaged and his position as prime minister was shaken.
After reading these letters, Li Xun picked up the letter and put it in his nose and smelled it, but it had a faint fragrance. Li Xun smiled. The handwriting on the letter was small and delicate, and it was obvious that it was from a woman's hand.
These letters were indeed from women, to be precise, from Xia Zhi and Chen Shishi. They are now living behind the scenes and rarely interfere in Wan Zi Qianhong's business. However, the base camp of the Secret Guard in the capital is within Wan Zi Qianhong. They both know a lot of the inside stories. Many of the news and letters from Secret Guard to Wuzhou are from Chen Shishi and Xia Zhishi, so they are just free to find things to do.
Li Xun couldn't help but travel and thought of some past events.
At this time, Sima Tu walked in quickly and saw Li Xun in a daze, and couldn't help but scream softly.
Li Xun came to his senses, looked at Sima Tu, waved his hand, and motioned him to sit down and talk.
"Lord, is there any news coming from the capital?"
Sima Tu sat down opposite Li Xun and immediately asked.
Sima Tu met Wang Mo outside and knew that he was from the capital and intended to ask, but Wang Mo was very strict and refused to disclose any news. However, from his expression, it can be seen that the news from the capital should not be good news. Sima Tu, who was originally planning to find Fan Zhongyun to drink, hurriedly came over and asked about the inside story.
Li Xun nodded and told the news in the capital in detail.
After hearing this, Sima Tu sighed and said, "Zhao Tong and others, the people who came are not kind!"
Li Xun laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? We have won a great victory this time, and I have made a promise that I will transport a large amount of spoils to Fengjing. It would be fine if the emperor did not promote my official position. How could he blame me?"
Sima Tu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, things will never be that simple."
Li Xun was a little confused and frowned and asked, "What does it mean?"
Sima Tu said in a deep voice: "The lord can divide the problem into two. From the perspective of the emperor, we won a great victory in the Western Regions, promoted the prestige of our Jin Dynasty, and then transported a large amount of money, grain and materials back to Fengjing, which can greatly alleviate the financial difficulties of the court. For the emperor, there is only benefits and no harm. In addition, the lord and the emperor have an internal relative relationship. The lord and the emperor take all the troops in Longyou and take great risks to send troops to the Western Regions without authorization. This is not a crime, but may be a contribution. However, from the perspective of opposition forces such as Yang Binglin and Zhao He, no matter how much victory the lord and his lord have obtained many benefits for the court, regardless of the safety of Longyou, they have all their troops to risk their lord and will not ask for instructions in advance or report afterwards. This is a serious crime and has nothing to do with anything else."
Li Xun's face changed slightly, and he understood what Sima Tu meant: "You mean, Yang Binglin and the others are likely to bite me to send troops without authorization and attack and persecute me?"
Sima Tu said affirmatively: "It's not possible, but certain. If Yang Binglin, the Wing King and others want to fight back and attack the prince, the lord is undoubtedly the best breakthrough."
Li Xun stood up, walked back and forth, and fell into deep thought.
