Chapter 800 People must have a bottom line after all
Zhao Xun sat there quietly, with a table full of delicious food in front of him, and the fragrance was everywhere, but it could not touch his appetite. He didn't even have the interest to take a look.
Zhao Xun has been very annoyed recently. Although he has gained something from a series of personnel transfers in the court, he has paid a huge price to achieve his goal.
As of now, the nine prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, Li Zhong, Li Xun and Qin Anming can all be regarded as Zhao Xun's people, but these three people are very unstable. First of all, Li Zhong, their prestige and qualifications are too high. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Zhao Xun. The good thing is that with Li Zhong's support, Zhao Xun is equivalent to having the support and support of nearly 200,000 elite troops in Anbei. Holding this powerful military force in his hand, its deterrence is extremely powerful. The bad thing is that Li Zhong's personality is too straightforward, he values emotions, but does not understand politics. Many problems and ideas often go against Zhao Xun. Zhao Xun can be repeated again and again, but he will never endure it again and again. Over time, the conflicts between the two sides have accumulated to a certain level.
Some things will happen naturally, and from another perspective, Li Zhong is sincere to Zhao Zhi, but he may not be sincere to Zhao Xun. The so-called emperor and minister, Li Zhong’s feelings for Zhao Zhi and his feelings for Zhao Xun will naturally not be the same. Furthermore, Li Zhong’s power and prestige are too high. He not only has a huge reputation and influence in Anbei, but the military power of the three armies of the imperial guards is also in Li Zhong’s hands. He has such a huge power and prestige. Although he always firmly stands on Zhao Xun’s side and provides him with support and help, while Zhao Xun gets it, he also feels uneasy and fear deep in his heart. Moreover, this emotion will become more and more serious as the conflict between him and Li Zhong becomes greater and greater.
Besides, Li Xun's growth and growth are inseparable from one person, that is Li Yi. Without Li Yi as the intermediate link, Li Xun could not enter Zhao Zhi's vision at all. Zhao Zhi could not see it, so naturally he would not use him. Li Xun was able to reach this point today, luck was part of his own efforts, but more of it was God who gave him this opportunity and opportunity.
After the end of the First Longyou War, the land of the Seven Continents in the West was recovered. This was a new cake, which was coveted by many people. In order to avoid the new cake being divided by those aristocratic families, Zhao Zhi could only launch one person to control the land of the Seven Continents in the West, and blocked the clutches of the aristocratic families outside. Zhao Zhi thought about this candidate over and over again, and finally chose Li Xun because Li Xun was simple, not complicated, and easy to control.
Zhao Zhi reused Li Xun, but in fact he just wanted Li Xun to occupy this position. There was a transition. From the fact that he placed Wang Renzi in Suzhou, Zhao Zhi's intention was to see that he really wanted someone to play a role in the western part of Longyou. It was Wang Renzi, not Li Xun.
But no one expected that after Li Xun arrived in Wuzhou, he did a good job, making Wuzhou prosperous, and finally led to the overall situation of the seven states in the western Longyou area. Many people felt that Li Xun had no talent, could not manage the army above and the lower place, and could not manage the place below. Only by relying on Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei, Yuanhe, Zhou Qing and others, could this achievement be achieved. But don’t forget that whether it was Shan Qiu or Zhao Wei, without Li Xun’s support and help, they had fallen into the trough of their lives and it would be difficult to get up. Even Yuan He had thousands of soldiers at that time, but his status was not high, and he was just a marginal figure in Longyou. These people were not noticed by others at that time. It was Li Xun who brought them together and had a huge effect. From this point of view, Li Xun was able to use people and dared to use people. This can also be said to be Li Xun’s uniqueness.
Li Xun's series of actions were greatly beyond Zhao Zhi's expectations. He was both happy but worried about this. What he was happy was that Li Xun did so well, which saved him a lot of means and energy, and completely blocked the despise of those aristocratic families. But at the same time, a person climbed too fast and too high, but it was easy to fall down. An insignificant person occupied a large piece of cake and would definitely be envied by many people. Therefore, Zhao Zhi suddenly recalled Li Xun and suppressed it to a certain extent. This was not only for prevention and future, but also for protection for Li Xun.
Zhao Xun's indifference and alienation towards Li Zhong is due to the importance of power. The huge rights can only be controlled by one's own hands, which can ensure his absolute safety. If it is in the hands of others, even if this person is loyal, it will eventually cause uneasiness and suspicion in his heart.
As for Li Xun, Zhao Xun does not hate or like him. The reason why he has something to do with Li Xun is just because of Li Yi. From this point of view, although Zhao Zhi is cold and very rational, he still has feelings in the end. Zhao Xun's personal emotions are very cold, and even ruthless. A ruthless person must be unrighteous. His good or bad attitude towards a person is only for the needs of interests, and will not start from emotions.
As of now, Li Xun is useful to Zhao Xun, but this foundation is too weak. Li Xun is born in a poor family and has simple social relations. This is his advantage. Zhao Xun can be very relieved to use him, but at the same time, this is also a major disadvantage of Li Xun. After all, Li Xun has become the prime minister of the State Council and entered the core of the political high-level political leadership. With such an important position, how much help and benefits can he bring to Zhao Xun in this position? This is what Zhao Xun values most.
Finally, Qin Anming, who is smart, has a good personality and is versatile in his work, and has certain connections with major families. At present, Zhao Xun relies most on Qin Anming. Many of his intentions and means are developed and completed through Qin Anming.
Regardless of political matters, Zhao Xun is also upset about his family affairs now, such as his relationship with his mother Li Yi, and has become increasingly cold recently. Li Yi no longer actively sent people to summon Zhao Xun to speak during this period. Zhao Xun took the initiative to go to Li Yi's place. Li Yi's attitude was quite cold. Therefore, Zhao Xun had never been to Changle Palace in the past five days. Filial piety was the first. As the emperor and the example of everyone in the world, Zhao Xun did not pay tribute to his mother for several days. This is not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, eat a little bit, you didn't eat much yesterday."
Xiao Lezi whispered beside him.
Zhao Xun shook his head, stood up, pointed to the food all over the table, and said in a low voice: "Don't waste it, give these foods to the people below."
Xiao Lezi nodded and responded quickly.
Zhao Xun stood up and left, feeling bored, wanting to walk around and relax.
