Zhao Xun was holding a book in his hand, and the man was sitting there, looking a little stunned.

Just now, someone from the palace reported that Li Mancang and Li Xun and his son entered the palace and apologized to Zhao Zhi. Li Mancang beat Li Xun in front of Li Yi. Then, Li Yi met Zhao Zhi and pleaded for Li Xun. Not long after, Zhao Zhi summoned and removed Li Xun's left minister of the Ministry of War, the deputy minister of the Ministry of War, and other officials, with a one-year salary, and the title remained unchanged.

Zhao Xun put down the document in his hand, looked down, and said to Li Zhongquan: "This matter is strange, what do you think?"

Zhao Xun had already written the document and was about to send it to the Zhengshi Hall today. After the Prime Minister of the Zhengshi Hall signed it, an order was immediately issued. The content of the document was related to Li Xun. Li Xun was removed from his post as the Left Minister of War Department and was transferred to Lingnan for the position of promotion and demotion, and governed by Xizhou.

Li Zhongquan smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is actually nothing. Li Xun has been too arrogant recently. Someone in the court has begun to impeach him. The incident has come to Li Mancang's ears. In fear, he pulled Li Xun into the palace to apologize and asked Concubine Li to plead for him. It is very reasonable."

Qian Mingdu also said: "Your Highness, Li Xun's military power was taken away and he was in captivity. There is no threat. We should not put too much energy on him."

Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu looked at each other, their eyes flashing.

Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu had another Wang Congben before. These three were the first ministers to follow Zhao Xun and were Zhao Xun's absolute confidants. Zhao Xun has been around today and has always been these people who are here to make suggestions. Zhao Xun also trusts and relies on them very much.

Zhao Xun was not only emotionally alienated and exclusion from power and tricks. Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu fully supported and firmly supported this matter. The reason why Zhao Xun's attitude towards Li Xun became more and more obvious and more intense was related to them. If Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu had not made great suggestions, Zhao Xun would not have thought of transferring Li Xun to the deserted land in the south of the Lingnan region, at least not so early.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu in surprise. In the past, whenever Li Xun was talking about Li Xun, their attitudes were very fierce, but today they were very different. They intended to downplay Li Xun.

Lu Bojiang drank tea and glanced at Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu, with a hint of disdain and sneer on his face.

Zhao Xun didn't know, but Lu Bojiang knew it clearly.

Six days ago, Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu were extremely angry about Li Xun's promotion. They repeatedly spoke to Zhao Xun and made unreasonable remarks, saying that Li Xun was from a low-class background and had an inappropriate mind. Once he was in power, he would definitely be disrespectful to the country. He agreed earlier that he would give him a Lingnan promotion and demotion envoy, which was very nice to him. After all, the promotion and demotion envoy also had certain rights. It would be better to take this opportunity to transfer him to Qianzhou and hand him over to the Qianzhou Jiedushi Wei Wennan, who was in charge of him. He would not be allowed to enter the capital in this life.

Zhao Xun said nothing about this suggestion. Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu’s advice were too intense. Even if he had this idea, he would not dare to do so. After all, he still had to consider some of the feelings of Concubine Li.

Unlike Li Zhongquan, Qian Mingdu, Lu Bojiang never said a word whenever Li Xun was involved. He understood one thing and never left his relatives. Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu both used any means to cater to Zhao Xun and get greater benefits, and even if they lost their personal principles, they would do anything. Sooner or later, if this continues, someone would deal with them. Sure enough, just the next day after they both told Zhao Xun that day, after the court meeting, Li Yi called Li Zhongquan, Qian Mingdu and Lu Bojiang to Changle Palace.

Zhao Xun is extremely serious in his work. Since he was regent, he has often worked until late at night. Many officials advised Zhao Xun about this, hoping that he would take care of his health. Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu made great contributions and fully supported Zhao Xun.

Li Yi used this as an excuse to scold Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu, but praised Lu Bojiang very much.

Two days after this incident, Li Yi forced the Crown Prince Zhao Xun to accept the order for entry to the palace by Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu, and stated that it was not a serious matter in the court and that he would not enter the East Palace casually.

There are so many officials around Zhao Xun. What is the reason for Li Yi's attack on Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu? He is a fool. Of course, Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu are not fools. He immediately thought of the reason, that is, because Li Xun and Zhao Xun's affairs must be hidden from Li Yi. In order to gain Zhao Xun's further trust and promotion, he catered to the superiors and strongly targeted Li Xun. Obviously, Li Yi recorded all the accounts of Zhao Xun's actions against Li Xun on Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu.

Zhao Xun obviously didn't take Li Xun too seriously. He then talked with Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu about tax reform and other issues.

After Zhao Zhi succeeded to the throne, he carried out certain reforms to the tax system, and the results were not bad. However, now, the current tax system is obviously beyond its reach. The court's finances are getting worse and worse. If Li Xun had not taken over the Western Regions and the court had obtained a huge amount of money and food from the Western Regions, the court's finances might have collapsed. Although it can continue to obtain a considerable amount of money and food from the Western Regions in the future, this is not a long-term solution. If we want to completely change the financial state of the court, as far as the current tax system is concerned, it is time for reforms to be carried out.

Zhao Xun inherited Zhao Zhi's ambition, valued poor gentry, suppressed aristocratic families, and allowed the two to balance. Therefore, most of Zhao Xun's side were poor gentry officials, and many of them were very young, with many talents. This is Zhao Xun's team building for himself in the future.

As for the officials of the aristocratic families, Zhao Xun also accepted some people, but Zhao Xun always held a certain degree of caution about these people. Therefore, such officials cannot enter Zhao Xun's core circle, but Lu Baijiang is an extracurricular person.

Lu Bojiang was born into a famous family in Jiangnan, and his father Lu Shiming served as the prefect of Jiangling.

Lu Baijiang was forty-two years old this year, and he was thirty-five years old and entered the official career through the imperial examination. Therefore, this person was late to become a great man. As soon as he entered the officialdom, he soon attracted Liu Jie's attention and appreciation. When Liu Jie was on the mission to the grasslands in Mobei, he called Lu Baijiang to go with him.
