"Second brother, since you are here in Fengjing, let's stay here."

After having a good meal, Fan Zhongzhe said goodbye and left.

The two of them arrived at the door and Fan Zhongyun said politely.

Fan Zhongzhe smiled and said, "I came to Fengjing, and there are still some things to do."

Fan Zhongyun said: "Where is the second brother currently living? I will go to visit me when I have time."

"You can stay in Rongyuan Inn temporarily. If you want to find me, you can come at any time."

The two said something and left separately.

Fan Zhongyun sent Fan Zhongzhe away, and after a while, Sima Tu came.

"Brother Zhongyun, I'm here."

Sima Tu walked into the study with a smile.

Although the price paid by Li Xun was dismissed from all positions was extremely heavy, it also means that this matter has been settled and has an ending. In the future, it will definitely enter a stage of ups and downs. Therefore, as Li Xun's two major advisers, Sima Tu and Fan Zhongyun, naturally, there is nothing to do, and they will just go ups and downs with it.

I had nothing to do. In the past two days, after lunch, Sima Tu would come to Fan Zhongyun. The two of them played chess, drank tea, and chatted, and they were free and easy.

Fan Zhongyun is cleaning.

Sima Tu saw two tea cups on the table and asked, "Are guests coming to your home?"

While cleaning, Fan Zhongyun replied: "My second brother had lunch here."

"Isn't you the only one in the old Fan family? Where did you come from the second brother?"

"It's one of my cousins, named Fan Zhongzhe, you should have heard of this name."

Hearing this name, Sima Tu was slightly stunned and then said, "Wang Huailei's chief adviser Fan Zhongzhe?"

Fan Zhongyun nodded.

Sima Tu immediately became interested: "What did you talk about? What's the point of looking for you?"

"Just come and see me."

Fan Zhongyun patted the dust on his hands and smiled faintly: "We are relatives, and there is nothing to talk about except for family matters."

After hearing Fan Zhongyun's words, Sima Tu pondered slightly and soon understood.

Fan Zhongyun is Li Xun's confidant adviser. Now, Li Xun has been removed from the political list. In terms of political matters, Fan Zhongyun and Fan Zhongzhe really have nothing to talk about. If there is a real talk, it has been agreed upon for so many years. There is no need to wait until now. Besides, the two have not met for more than ten years. This shows that the political thoughts and ideas of Fan Zhongyun and Fan Zhongzhe are probably different, or even completely opposite.

The truth is different and we don’t plan for each other.

Therefore, in terms of politics, although they are cousins, there is nothing to talk about.

It’s good to drink and chat about homework, that’s all.

For smart people, there are some things that don’t need to be said at all, and everyone knows it.

Fan Zhongyun said: "The sun is very bright today, so let's go to the yard to play chess."

The two arrived at the yard, set up the table and expectations, poured tea, and then started to play chess and chat.

Sima Tu said: "What kind of attitude do you think the governors from all over the country will show?"

Fan Zhongyun looked at the chessboard, thought about it a little, and then said, "The emperor made the problem a little too complicated. The war has ended and the ending is destined. This is an unchangeable situation. Therefore, Li Conggu, the governor of Weizhou, wrote to the court and took the initiative to show his kindness, giving him a step. The emperor took advantage of this step to walk on, hello, I'm all, what's wrong with it?"

Sima Tu smiled and said, "The emperor can't do this, just to save face."

Fan Zhongyun sneered: "What are so many military governors coming to Fengjing for? What benefits should the emperor give them when they give him the emperor?"

The situation in Hebei is a foregone conclusion, unless Zhao Xun is desperate, let go, concentrate all his strength, and fight with Li Conggu again, but Zhao Xun dares to do this? Even if he dares to do it, others are willing to go crazy with him?

Since he could not do it, he could not change the current situation. Zhao Xun summoned the governors from all over the country, which was nothing more than showing a tough attitude, forcing Li Conggu to lower his attitude, so as to demonstrate his majesty and face, minimize the negative impact of the defeat in Hebei, and cover up the unfavorable factors and remarks against Zhao Xun.

But what's the use of doing this?

It's just a little better in terms of face, but there is no change in the ending.

Li Conggu had already taken the initiative to show his favor. As long as the court gave him a Hebei Jiedushi, he could maintain the status quo. At the state level, the chief of the governor was appointed by the court. At the governor, and below the governor, as well as the county level, the local Jiedushi, and the court took the process.

This was after the Second Longyou War, Zhao Zhi's prestige reached its peak and his military strength was extremely powerful. At that time, the five major military governors in Hebei took the initiative to transfer political interests.

There are also 30% of the taxes in Hebei, and 70% are kept by the court.

The number of troops is reduced, and the number of troops garrisons is reduced when the border areas of Hedong and Henan is not stationed, leaving a buffer zone to make the court feel at ease and everyone feel at ease.

Li Conggu has already given his sincerity and has increased his investment, reducing the more than 300,000 troops he has in his hands to less than 200,000.

Li Conggu's compromise has become very big, which shows that this is his bottom line and fundamental principle. Now, Zhao Xun is so tough and has pulled so many military governors to strengthen his power. Can he still force Li Conggu to compromise even more?

This is impossible, because this is Li Conggu's bottom line, and it is impossible to give in. After talking about it, it is just these things. If Zhao Xun is really too forced, what will be the consequences? How can he bear it? Even if Zhao Xun is willing to go crazy, will the ministers in the court and the governors from all over the country go crazy with him?

Sima Tu said: "With the local governor to intimidate Li Conggu, Hebei, it is said that this suggestion was proposed by Lu Zhongxun. In terms of purpose, it has been praised by many ministers in the court, and the emperor is quite satisfied with it."

Fan Zhongyun said: "The suggestion may be good, but the selfishness is too strong. No matter how good the matter is, once you have selfishness, it will change in the end."

Sima Tu nodded and said, "According to what you said, the emperor has made the problem a bit complicated."

Fan Zhongyun said: "Lu Zhongxun's suggestion is actually not bad, but I said that he has selfishness. If he really wants to express a tough attitude, there are so many military governors and vassal states who hold military power and are controlled by the court, the emperor only needs to summon these people and do nothing, just let them come to Fengjing. Such a large military force is gathered together, isn't Li Conggu afraid? Now? So many military governors have come, but how many of these people are sincerely interested in the court? It seems that there are many people and powerful forces, but in Li Conggu's eyes, there is no big deterrent power, because these people have their own thoughts, just a mess."
