Li Zhong reported to Zhao Xun alone and gave his own opinions and suggestions on the matters in Qianzhou.

Wei Wennan has long held the local military and political power. Among the many military governors of the vassal states, he was also famous and highly famous. He has always been loyal to the court and the country. Now he is dead inexplicably, and his whole family is destroyed. The way of heaven is brilliant. Shi Hu's simple accident wanted to take over the matter. This is a huge joke.

Li Zhong had two reasons. First, the court's attitude must be tough and thoroughly investigated to the end. A clear reply and explanation was given to the late Wei Wennan and everyone in the world. The emperor went to Zhao directly and summoned Shi Hu and relevant personnel to come to Beijing for review immediately. If Shi Hu was willing to come, things would be easier. At least it showed that Shi Hu was still afraid of the court and did not have much disagreement towards the country. If he did not come, it proved that Shi Hu had a ghost in his heart, and Wei Wennan's death might have an inseparable relationship with him.

Second, Wei Wennan's death may have nothing to do with Shi Hu, but it is done by others, but whether it is related or not, it doesn't matter. What is important is that Shi Hu took advantage of Wei Wennan's death to eliminate dissidents, killed the generals in the army who refused to obey him, and forcibly took over the entire military and political power of Qianzhou. Such actions are no different from rebellion. How can the court tolerate or show weakness for such a rebellion?

Li Zhong suggested that Zhao Xun? The court could make two preparations, one was to go to Zhao immediately, and summon Shi Hu to enter Beijing immediately, and the other was to secretly order the governor of Chenzhou, Lu Siyao, to start gathering the army, pay close attention to and prevent the movements in Qianzhou.

Zhao Baian, the prince of Hong'an, was in his hometown in Huaibei to mourn his wife? Can the emperor send someone to secretly send an order to send him an order to Jiangnan immediately? Although Zhao Baian has been resigned as Hong and Jiang Jiedushi for several years, his influence in Jiangnan is still huge? Once he speaks out? The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Hong, which he has been in operation for many years, must have responded to the crowd.

Regarding Li Zhong's suggestion? Zhao Xun neither agreed nor opposed it? Instead, he forwarded it to the Ministry of War and asked the Ministry of War to discuss it first.

Li Xun put down the memorial in his hand? There was a contemplative look on his face.

Zhao Xun did not transfer Li Zhong’s memorial to the Government Affairs Hall, but gave it to Li Xun directly? Obviously, he wanted to listen to Li Xun’s opinions and opinions first.

What Li Zhong said and said in the memorial was actually very clear? That is, put Wei Wennan's death aside for the time being, the court's attitude towards Shi Hu's actions must be tough, and immediately organize the army to give a thunder blow.

Li Zhong suggested that Zhao Xun dispatch troops from Zhao Bai'an, Hong and Jiang, as well as the army wanted by the governor of Chenzhou Lu Si. The two sides had a total of 50,000 people, one east and the other north, forming a siege against Qianzhou, forcing Shi Hu to surrender.

Li Xun had some speculations. Perhaps in Li Zhong's opinion, Shi Hu would inevitably rebel. Since this is the case, it is better to take action first and make military deployment and prevention in advance. Once Shi Hu has any abnormal movements, he can launch an attack immediately, and do not give Shi Hu any opportunity to advance and retreat. Control the war in Qianzhou. Do not expand it, and fight quickly.

Zhao Xun did not respond to Li Zhong's memorial, but transferred it to Li Xun. The meaning was obvious. Zhao Xun did not want to start a war, but he felt that what Li Zhong said was also reasonable. Therefore, Zhao Xun was in a conflict and was in a dilemma and could not come up with his ideas. Moreover, at that meeting two days ago, Zhao Xun had already made a decision and sent officials to Lingnan to investigate the situation. At this time, because Li Zhong's memorial changed his mind again, Zhao Xun might not be able to give up his face.

Sima Tu took Li Zhong's memorial while he was thinking, and after reading it, Sima Tu shook his head: "Li Zhong didn't say it before, but when the emperor made a decision, now he will submit such a memorial. No matter how good the suggestion is, the emperor may not accept his favor."

Li Xun said: "You don't know the situation at that time. Li Zhong just started the matter with Shi Hu, and even though he was opposed by most ministers, the emperor's attitude was unclear. No matter how many suggestions he had, he would not say much at that time."

During this period, Li Zhong and Zhao Xun's relationship was quite cold. This atmosphere was deliberately done by Zhao Xun. Li Zhong obviously felt Zhao Xun's alienation and indifference towards him. He should have understood that Zhao Xun was suspicious of him. Therefore, since that quarrel, Li Zhong has been very low-key for this period, and can be said to be very depressed. He was recuperating at home and held several meetings in the Political Affairs Hall. He asked for leave and absent on the grounds of poor health.

Sima Tu nodded, put the memorial aside, and then said to Li Xun: "My lord has read Li Zhong's memorial, what do you think?"

Li Xun thought for a while and asked back: "What do you think?"

Sima Tu smiled and said, "The emperor handed over Li Zhong's memorial to the lord, obviously because he wanted to listen to his lord's advice. This is a bit strange. There are so many civil and military people in the court, but the emperor chose you, lord. What does this mean?"

Li Xun rolled his eyes and felt that Sima Tu looked down on him. He immediately smiled angry: "What are you saying? From the five years of Chengping to the present, I have never lost more than a dozen wars in all sizes. It is said that it is an ever-winning general and is also well-known in the court. The emperor found me and wanted to listen to my suggestions. What's there to make a fuss about?"

Sima Tu smiled. He knew that Li Xun was not really angry, so he said, "The emperor handed over the memorial to the lord, maybe there are other purposes."

Li Xun had guessed this, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Prepare, you will follow me to see Li Zhong later."

"Yes, lord."

Sima Tu got up and bowed, then left the study.

The relationship between Zhao Xun and Li Zhong is a bit awkward.

Li Zhong was in charge of the military power of Fengjing. This power was too great. As the emperor, there was no fear or suspicion in his heart. That was impossible. In addition, Li Zhong's personality was a bit too straightforward. Zhao Xun originally wanted to deal with some things gently, but in the end he changed. After a while, the relationship between Zhao Xun and Li Zhong became what he is today.
