Chapter 1208 a crushing defeat nine
Li Xun asked, "If it is beneficial to the country, why can't I go?"
"The family of aristocratic families have already taken action against you. The question you need to consider now is how to protect yourself. You must put other things aside. Moreover, even if you go to Hebei, even if you win, what can you do? The family of aristocratic families will still do it. As long as the trump card shown by the other party is enough to shock enough to make the emperor have a murderous intention towards you. In this way, no matter what the result is, what is the use of you in Hebei? Listen to my advice, Hebei..."
You Yuanfeng's words ended. He was very tired. Before he finished speaking, he was already asleep.
Li Xun stood there and fell into deep contemplation. You Yuanfeng's words undoubtedly gave him a very clear and bright alert.
After a long time, Li Xun shook his head and sighed, "So what if I think of something?"
"Why sigh?"
You Mingyuan's voice came from behind.
Li Xun turned around, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just sighed when I think of some things."
You Mingyuan nodded and asked no more: "It's not too early, please go back earlier. After two days, the old man's health will improve a little. I'll send someone to notify you that you are coming to visit."
"Yes, my father-in-law."
Li Xun bowed his hand and then said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, someone came to the palace and summoned Li Xun to come to the palace to meet the saint.
Zhao Xun was very concerned about Li Xun's arrival and was concerned about his well-being. He did not mention the previous assassination, as if it had never happened.
Afterwards, the two discussed the matter in Hebei.
Zhao Xun gave Li Xun a note. He would take out two million taels of silver and 500,000 grain from the palace treasury, and provide all of them to the imperial guards. He hoped that Li Xun could move around and adjust them, persuade Yan Yi and other imperial guards to put aside his personal grievances, abandon past grudges, put the country first, cooperate sincerely, and lead the army to Hebei.
Li Xun agreed to Zhao Xun's all requests.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Xun, Li Xun went to Changle Palace and paid homage to the Empress Dowager. The two chatted for a while, and then Li Xun left the palace.
When they returned home, Fan Zhongyun and Sima Tu had already arrived.
"Is Mr. You okay?"
Fan Zhongyun asked out loud.
Li Xun shook his head: "Not very good."
Li Xun didn't know what to say. Although You Yuanfeng looked pretty good, he gave himself the feeling that he was exhausted and his life was about to reach the end.
"I hope the old man can get better."
Fan Zhongyun nodded and wished him a wish.
Li Xun didn't say anything, waiting for Fan Zhongyun to ask questions, but after waiting for half a day, he didn't see any words from the other party. He just sat there and kept drinking tea.
"Old Fan, I'm going to the palace today."
Li Xun took the initiative to start the topic.
Fan Zhongyun said, "I understand."
After saying this, there was nothing left.
Li Xun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you ask what the emperor said to me?"
Li Xun knew that Fan Zhongyun must have guessed the result, but he did not listen to his advice in the end. His attitude was so angry!
Fan Zhongyun sighed: "What the emperor said is still important? What is important is your own attitude! Your attitude has determined the result, what else can I say?"
Li Xun whispered: "The state is difficult, and someone always needs to stand up. I don't want to feel guilty."
Fan Zhongyun remained silent. After a moment, he said indifferently: "If the emperor wants to motivate the imperial guards, it is impossible for him to give him any sweetness."
“Give it, and it’s a lot.”
Li Xun said: "The emperor is preparing to take out two million taels of silver and 500,000 grains and grass from the palace treasury for 50,000 imperial guards."
It is said that it is a subsidy, but it is actually for the imperial guards. If you can't finish it, you can keep it yourself. This money and food are not small numbers. The reason why Zhao Xun is so generous is not only for the battle in Hebei, but also for the previous battle in Lingnan. He only gave half of the rewards he promised to the imperial guards, and now he has made up for them all.
Sima Tu smiled and said, "The Emperor was finally generous."
Fan Zhongyun pondered for a moment, then said: "Money and food are not the absolute key points, the key is the attitude of senior generals such as Yan Yi."
Li Xun said: "I'll go and talk to Yan Yi."
"What did you say to him?"
Fan Zhongyun sneered: "Your Majesty has lowered his posture and gives you a face. Just continue, don't be shameless?"
Li Xun frowned and said, "Old Fan, don't be sarcastic, I feel uncomfortable when I hear it."
Fan Zhongyun said, "That's what it means. You feel uncomfortable when you hear it. Does Yan Yi feel comfortable when you hear it?"
Li Xun glanced at Fan Zhongyun and understood a little. The emperor treated the imperial guards, which is equivalent to taking some money when you need you. To say a few nice words, you have to work hard for me. When you don’t need it, you will feel annoyed when you go anywhere. Li Xun couldn’t help but think of himself. In recent times, isn’t the emperor’s attitude towards him? If it weren’t for Hebei, what would the emperor’s attitude towards him?
To be honest, Li Xun felt uncomfortable when he thought of this. Fan Zhongyun was right. If he said what he had just said to Yan Yi, he would definitely feel very unhappy.
Li Xun said with some depression: "No matter what, now is the time when the court needs us to do our best. If we are not at all injustice, we will resist and do nothing, and we will watch the country in danger without a trace?"
Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun and shook his head secretly. No matter how much he said, it was useless, because a person's beliefs and persistence were difficult to change without undergoing a huge turn.
Seeing that the two of them were talking wrong, Sima Tu said out loud: "Lord, Mr. Fan's meaning is actually to say that it is not appropriate for you to go directly to Yan Yi. It is best not to go to him first. You can first meet other generals of the Imperial Guard to see their attitude."
After listening to Sima Tu's words, Li Xun thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
Just as several people discussed.
Xue Chengsong suddenly visited and brought a lot of news.
Just the day before yesterday, Li Conggu, Weizhou, finally sent troops. A sudden 30,000 troops attacked Chuozhou at night. Chuozhou fell, and 10,000 defenders were destroyed. Chen Chusheng, the second son of the governor of Hengzhou, was captured alive.
Li Xun stood up suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing there?"
Xue Chengsong replied: "Zhang Jin led 30,000 troops yesterday and officially entered Hebei."
