"His Highness Qu, the situation in the western part of Longyou, after years of hard work by the Grand Marshal, was already very stable. The Han and foreigners reached a balance and could live in peace..."

Zheng Chun said loudly, but Zhao Tong suddenly sent a table, interrupting his words, and said coldly: "Zheng Chun, are you blaming me?"

"I dare not."

Zheng Chun sighed deeply in his heart. Zhao Tong's identity was too noble and he could not compete with him. Moreover, he was once a subordinate of a rebel general. Although he finally surrendered to the court, under the overall environment, no matter how low-key and hardworking, he was still suspicious and excluded by many people. Even after meeting Li Xun, after great efforts, some changes were gradually made. But for most of the time, the change was not big. As a rebel general, this stain is difficult to clean up.

Therefore, Zheng Chun is very low-key in daily life. He will be very polite and humble to anyone, even a few levels lower than his official position, and be cautious in everything. Before Li Xun left, he once told him not to force Zhao Tong. With this premise, Zheng Chun can actually ignore anything. No matter how big the matter is, how much does it have to do with him? Anyway, Li Xun is holding on to him when the sky falls. However, Li Xun not only saved Zheng Chun's life, but also had the kindness of knowing him. This time, he went to the Western Regions and even gave Zheng Chun the important task of staying in Wu'an, giving him full authority to deal with the western part of Longyou, and he can do things at a cheap price. What a great trust?

Zheng Chun was extremely grateful. Now, Zhao Tong incited a small number of Han people to have fierce conflicts with foreigners. The foreigners were out of control and attacked the Jiedushi General's Mansion. Zhao Tong used this as an excuse to force the troops. Zheng Chun refused to obey. He ordered his personal soldiers to intervene directly and strongly suppress foreigners. His methods were cruel. More than half of the hundreds of foreigners were killed or injured, and the rest were arrested. Later, he even led his people into the Jiedushi General's Mansion to cover up and condone foreigners. In this way, Zheng Chun finally couldn't bear it and transferred 3,000 troops into the city and drove Zhao Tong's personal soldiers out of the Jiedushi General's Mansion. At this point, the conflict between the two sides completely broke out.

Gao Yongzhi, the governor of Shazhou, sneered: "Zheng Chun, don't state Li Xun's contributions there. What is his contribution? How did the Han people be oppressed and tortured before the western part of Longyou are recovered? Now that Longyou has returned to the territory of our Jin Dynasty, Li Xun treats foreigners so favorably and affectionately Han people. What exactly do he want to do?"

After Gao Yongzhi finished speaking, a local official immediately spoke and continued: "I think Li Xun is just a dissatisfied person who deliberately wins over foreigners with a ill intention."

Zheng Chun's face turned pale and said angrily: "Military Li is considering the overall situation. Nearly one million foreigners in the western Longyou area, can they all be killed? When will the revenge be repaid? Is it not good for everyone to live in peace? You are making random speculations here and deliberately slandering Marshal Li, what are you trying to do?"

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "Zheng Chun, you have the attitude to say this. Don't forget that you were a rebel general. Let's not talk about whether Li Xun has a different ambition. You Zheng Chun are very likely."

Subsequently, some people came out to deliberately slander Zheng Chun. Although some people came out to explain to Zheng Chun, the number of people was too small and it did not work.

Zheng Chun looked at the faces of these people and clenched his fists tightly. His anger reached its limit, but he took a few deep breaths and forced himself to sit down. Zhao Tong was really insidious. He saw that Li Xun didn't want to fight head-on. As the imperial envoy and the observing envoy, he temporarily dismissed a large number of officials who were interested in Li Xun. Then he gathered those officials who were targeting Li Xun and took advantage of Li Xun's outing to attack Zheng Chun with the intention of seizing military power.

Zheng Chun now figured it out. Now that Zhao Tong has many people, he is unable to have an enemy alone. No matter how many people say it, it is useless. In the end, he will only humiliate himself, and he will still keep silent.

Zhao Tong looked at Zheng Chun with a sneer on his face. He had been planning to the western part of Longyou for several months, and it was time to close the net.

In fact, Zhao Tong's layout in the seven prefectures of Longyou was just a confusing move, in order to disrupt Li Xun's ideas. Li Xun's core is in Wu'an. Zhao Tong's ultimate goal is naturally Wu'an. Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the western part of Longyou, and the rest are all in the Western Regions. Although the troops in the Western Regions are heavy, Li Xun seems to be incredible, but more than 50,000 troops are actually only thousands of soldiers who belong to Li Xun. Once a change occurs in Longyou.

They will definitely take the team again instead of helping Li Xun. Li Xun's honor and disgrace have nothing to do with them. Therefore, Zhao Tong wants to seize Zheng Chun's military power and undermine Li Xun. Before leaving Beijing, Zhao He told him with great certainty that Li Xun will be transferred from Longyou soon. Zhao Tong's purpose of this trip was to seize power and seize Li Xun's power. Once Li Xun leaves, in the future re-division of power, Zhao He will get the greatest interests with Zhao Tong's premise.

Zheng Chun is a fourth-rank general, and a third-rank general. Zhao Tong cannot directly dismiss Zhou Qing like he did. He has no right, but Zhao Tong is an observer and an imperial envoy. He has a certain right to act according to the opportunity, and then to report. Therefore, Zhao Tong can only take a detour, slander Zheng Chun some charges, and arrange some sudden incidents. Then, he forcibly seized Zheng Chun's military power on the grounds that he was urgently following the situation. Zheng Chun was once a rebel general, and Zhao Zhi did not trust him. Zhao Tong could explain his actions very easily afterwards.

Seeing that Zheng Chun was not speaking, Zhao Tong turned a wink at the personal commander. The latter understood and immediately waved his hand. More than ten soldiers rushed in and surrounded Zheng Chun.

Zheng Chun stood up, looked at Zhao Tong, and said coldly: "King Qu, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Tong said in a low voice: "You have heard what you said to all the officials. They all feel that what you do, coupled with your rebel general's origin, is too dangerous for Longyou. As an observer and an imperial envoy sent by the court, combined with everyone's opinions, I feel that you are no longer suitable for your current position."

Zheng Chun's face turned pale. He never expected that Zhao Tong would dare to do this. Now he had no weapons on his body and was surrounded by more than a dozen people. He had no ability to resist at all.

Looking at Zheng Chun's expression, Zhao Tong had a satisfied smile on his face. Everything was under his control. The plan was finally completed. How could Li Xun, a lowly man from a mud-legged background, be his opponent?

.............

Li Xun galloped quickly and came to Wu'an County Government. There were hundreds of soldiers outside the gate, guarding closely.

Li Xun looked at these people. They were not his subordinates, but probably those brought by Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong came to the western part of Longyou and brought more than 500 personal guards.
