Chapter 415: The Way Home (7)

"The situation is chaotic, maybe when, Yang Binglin and they will come at me, just do it and wait? It's also too passive. Wild Sand Literature Network"

Li Xun's patience had almost been exhausted, and he didn't want to wait.

Sima Tu said: "Lord, my subordinates have been thinking about this matter recently, and now they have some clues. ”

Li Xun's spirit was shocked: "Say it quickly." ”

"Lord, don't you think that after King Qi ascended to the throne of the crown prince, your voice in the emperor has become less and less?"

Li Xunzi shook slightly, his lips tightened, Sima Tu was right, since he came back, Zhao Zhi has indeed obviously been a little alienated from himself, this kind of alienation is not emotional, because of Zhao Xun, because of Li Yi, as long as the sense of these two people and Zhao Zhi is still there, the sense of himself and Zhao Zhi will not be severed, the kind of estrangement that Li Xun really experienced is a kind of mentality, or a... Guard against.

Sima Tu glanced at Li Xun and said cautiously: "Lord, the emperor is very similar to Emperor Wuzong, reusing Hanshi, the family of gate lords and relatives, as well as eunuchs, are very strict precautions, the lord is now in Wuzhou, mastering the military and political power of the land of Sanzhou, and then Zhao Xun ascended the throne, the aunt of the lord is the queen mother, as the only nephew of Li Guifei, and you have military power in hand, as a relative, you have the possibility of controlling the government, the emperor should have thought of this, so in the Central Plains, The emperor will never give you any chance to take power. ”

Li Xun frowned and said: "What you said is a bit inconsistent, the emperor has always wanted to transfer me to Hedong, and my aunt once told me that if I do well in Hedong, I will be transferred back to the capital, take control of the army, and become a strong backing for Zhao Xun's smooth ascension to the throne." ”

Sima Tu shook his head and said lightly: "Isn't what the emperor has done a temptation?" ”

Li Xun was silent, the previous political changes, Sima Tu told him that all of Zhao Zhi's actions may be to test Zhao Xun and Zhao He, and now it seems that among the candidates Zhao Zhi is tempting, not only the two of them, but also himself.

But Li Yi talked to Li Xun several times, all of them enlightened him, if the emperor was resolute, let Li Xun not be too insistent, go to Hedong, it will be just as useful, and it can help Zhao Xun more.

Could it be that my aunt is also testing herself?

Thinking of this, Li Xun's heart was a little heavy, and he said hoarsely: "Auntie... It has been painful for me. ”

Sima Tu Zhengse said: "Lord, don't think crookedly, the reason why I said that is not that Li Guifei also has a distrust of the lord, the subordinates just said a point of view, the lord, you are Li Guifei's nephew, you are a close relative, but compared to the prince, who is lighter and who is heavier?" If the lord follows the path explained by Concubine Li, he will go to Hedong first, return to the capital a few years later, take control of the army, and the crown prince will ascend the throne smoothly, and then. ”

And then?

Li Xun was silent, to put it simply, he is just an outsider after all, for the Son of Heaven, there is only power in his heart, and his pro is very light, this is the deep-rooted ideology and system of this era, and it is also an inescapable reality, really at that time, Zhao Xun, who is already the Son of Heaven, will hand over his safety to an outsider? If it were a different person, would it?

Seeing that Li Xun was silent for a long time, Sima Tu continued: "The lord might as well think about Li Zhong, what is the reason why he can come back to serve as the left minister and take charge of the military power in the capital?" One is that he is with the emperor, the second is his loyalty to the emperor, and the third is that he has great prestige, and the strong foundation of Anbei, I am talking about this foundation, not that he supports the army and is self-respecting, but that even if he leaves Anbei and loses control of Anbei, he still has a huge influence in Anbei, which is his political capital. If you really want to go to Hedong and return to the capital, even if you are given huge rights, how much prestige and merit can you establish in just a few years? In the future, if the situation changes, what will the general do to protect himself? ”

Li Xun stood up and walked back and forth, Sima Tu's words were actually a bit off-topic, but I have to say that after listening to Sima Tu's words, Li Xun was greatly touched.

In fact, since Li Zhong was transferred back to Fengjing, Zhao Zhi had already begun to weaken his military power.

Li Zhong's eldest son Li Wei has a very high prestige in Anbei, second only to his father, but in the end, Anbei's Jiedu envoy is not Li Wei, but Ma Wu, Li Wei is only the deputy envoy of Jiedu, not the only one, and the other deputy envoy Hong Chenghao is not the old foundation of Anbei, but Anbei who was transferred to Chengping for three years, this person is Zhao Zhi's henchman who picked up with one hand, and after going to Anbei, the relationship with Li Zhong has been very estranged.

Moreover, Zhao Zhi gave Li Zhong the military power of the three armies, but in terms of actual personnel transfers, the three generals of the three armies have nothing to do with Li Zhong, Yu Wenzhen, the general of the army, is Zhao Xun's father-in-law, and Huang's younger brother Huang Yi has just been directly edicted by Zhao Zhi a few months ago, and was appointed as the general of the right army of the army, and Wang Renpu, the general of the left army. may be very respectful and admired, but they will never become his vassals, they will only obey Zhao Zhi's orders, and they will only be loyal to Zhao Zhi, so Zhao Zhi really gave Li Zhong the military power of the three armies, but in a sense, it was not given to Li Zhong, with the support of Zhao Zhi, Li Zhong's command, if there is no support from Zhao Zhi, Li Zhong may not think about it.

Li Xun pondered for a long time, then stopped, looked at Sima Tu, and said softly: "In this way, I have always insisted on refusing to go to Hedong, but now it seems that I am right?" ”

Sima Tu stood up, nodded and said: "Yes, my subordinates have only recently figured out this, the emperor wants to transfer the lord to Hedong, it is sincere, if the lord goes, the emperor will still give the lord greater rights step by step, this is also for the prince, because the lord has no other choice, the life and death of the prince is also related to the life and death of the lord, everyone is in the same boat, no one can leave anyone, but.... From then on, the lord may have become a chess piece in the hands of others, a chess piece that can be manipulated at will. ”

Li Xun asked curiously, "What do you think the emperor will do?" ”
