Chapter 84 Dismissal

Li Xun looked at the official document in his hand with a wry smile on his face. He was dismissed from his post and was scolded. He rubbed the document in his hand and threw it away. Li Xun muttered to himself: "

Why does this curse look like it was written by the emperor's uncle?"

"Brother Gou'er, someone must have framed you. It's better to go to the emperor and tell the truth, or you may be reinstated."

Zhu Zhengguo stood aside, and he could see clearly the documents of the Ministry of Personnel.

"If you want to accuse someone, why bother?"

Li Xun shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, if the official is gone, it will be gone. It's just a good time to have a good rest and be free."

Zhu Zhengguo smiled bitterly and said: "You pulled this team together. It has just started to look decent. You are about to leave. What should we do?"

Li Xun touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and finally patted Zhu Zhengguo's shoulder and comforted him: "I will find a solution and will not hand over my brothers to outsiders easily. Don't worry."

Zhu Zhengguo nodded. Since Li Xun had made a decision, he couldn't say much.

Before leaving, Li Xun had a good gathering with more than a thousand brothers from the Inspectorate and came back drunk. Although it only lasted three months, Li Xun built this team himself. How could he not have feelings?

The soldiers of the Inspectorate also had great trust and gratitude towards Li Xun. The reason was very simple. Li Xun gave them a land that they could survive on, gave them food to eat, and kept his word. During Operation Baihuayuan, more than a dozen people

When a soldier died in battle, Li Xun did not break his promise. Each dead soldier's family was given fifty acres of land and fifty taels of silver.

How could Li Xun not be a little angry when he was dismissed from his post without any reason? So these days, Li Xun didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home, and didn't take the initiative to go to the palace to see Zhao Zhi or Li Yi.

It was a boring day, so Li Xun took a few bottles of good wine and took Jiang Daxiong to Fan Zhongyun's house.

At the end of March, the weather has begun to slowly get warmer. The sun is shining today and it is a good day. Fan Zhongyun is sitting in the yard, reading quietly, and his wife Niu is carrying broken grains to feed the chickens and ducks. Such a scene.

, is no different from ordinary people, but who can know what kind of amazing talent the man who reads quietly has in his chest?

"Sister-in-law, Lao Fan, I'm here."

Before he even entered the door, Li Xun shouted loudly.

Mr. Niu had a smile on his face and looked at the door. Fan Zhongyun also put down the books in his hands, looked at Li Xun and Jiang Daxiong who had just entered the door, and said with a wry smile: "Daxiong is here, and the house will be empty again!"

Li Xun laughed loudly when he heard this, while Jiang Daxiong scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a silly smile: "Brother Fan, I don't eat too much, I only need a bucket of rice."

"Don't listen to your brother Fan. I just bought a rice yesterday. It doesn't matter how much you eat."

Niu glared at Fan Zhongyun, put down the bamboo basket in his hand, clapped his hands, and said to Li Xun: "Dog, you sit down first, and I'll make you tea."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Li Xun thanked him, sat down next to Fan Zhongyun, and said, "You should know about me, right?"

Fan Zhongyun nodded: "I just found out yesterday."

Li Xun asked strangely: "You don't seem surprised at all."

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "What's so strange about this? Do you still want to continue working in the Inspectorate?"

Li Xun asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Fan Zhongyun said quietly: "Jingzhao Mansion is a place of right and wrong. Every Jingzhao Yin can't do it for an average of one year. Liu Zhongyuan's last Jingzhao Yin was even falsely accused to death. The dangers can be imagined. You are here

How can Concubine Li just let it go when she serves in a place like this?"

Li Xun nodded. In fact, he had thought of these principles in the past few days.

Li Xun sighed: "That's the truth, but there is always something in my heart that doesn't work."

Fan Zhongyun chuckled and said: "Now that your reputation has been established, why are you still there? The Inspection and Quarantine is too small and there is no room for performance. If you are there, you will not offend people and you will not be able to achieve much political achievements. Someone will help you leave.

, you should be grateful."

Li Xun said with some reluctance: "I started the Inspectorate by myself. Now that I'm leaving, thinking about being taken advantage of by others, I feel really unhappy."

Fan Zhongyun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You have been worrying about it all day long. The families of the soldiers in the Inspectorate are in your hands and they are taking the land you gave them. To put it bluntly, these people are almost your private soldiers.

Even if you leave, as long as Zhu Zhengguo and Yan Yi are there, it will be useless for anyone else to leave, and they will not be able to command at all."

Li Xun's eyes lit up, "Yeah! I'm really stupid. I didn't understand such a simple truth."

Li Xun laughed twice: "I was confused for a moment, and my brain was a little slow."

Fan Zhongyun glanced at Li Xun and asked softly: "What are your plans next?"

"If you have any plans, you don't have to do anything anymore. Just rest at home for a while!"

Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "I'm afraid your wish will come true."

"What's the meaning?"

Fan Zhongyun rolled his eyes again: "You have such a good aunt to help you. If your promotion is still so slow, then why don't you go out to join the officialdom and just stay at home."

Li Xun thought about it, but he was still a little unwilling to think about the Inspectorate, and said: "I want to recommend Zhu Zhengguo to take over my position in front of the emperor, what do you think?"

Fan Zhongyun thought for a moment and said: "The emperor has no good opinion of military generals. If you say this directly, there are some taboos and may arouse the emperor's suspicion. It is better to talk to your aunt first and let her blow the pillow in front of the emperor.

, may be more effective.”

Li Xun nodded, this is a good suggestion.

At this time, Mrs. Niu brought tea to Li Xun and Jiang Daxiong, added hot water to Fan Zhongyun's cup, and said with a smile: "You talk to your brother Fan, and I will cook."

Li Xun smiled and said: "I can eat the food cooked by my sister-in-law."

Niu smiled, turned and left.

Fan Zhongyun looked at Li Xun and asked: "Li Xun, I heard that you raided Baihuayuan that night and got millions of taels of silver. Is this true?"

Li Xun took a sip of water, nodded and said, "It's true. I transported all the money back to Jingzhao Mansion."

Speaking of this, Li Xun suddenly said strangely: "Don't tell me that I almost forgot. After this money was transported back to Jingzhao Mansion, there was no further information. Could it be that it was swallowed up by Liu Zhongyuan?"

"Liu Zhongyuan is not that kind of person, and no one dares to be so bold as to swallow these millions of taels of silver."

Fan Zhongyun shook his head: "After I heard that the Baihuayuan incident broke out, Liu Zhongyuan's frequent visits to the palace should be related to this money."

"you mean..."

Li Xun suddenly understood something.

Fan Zhongyun smiled: "More than one million taels of silver is not a small amount. If it enters the Ministry of Revenue, it belongs to the country. If it enters the imperial city, it belongs to the emperor alone."

Li Xun curled his lips: "The whole world belongs to the Emperor, so what's yours and mine?"
