Zhao Xun summoned many ministers to discuss it all day and had just made a plan. In the afternoon, news came from Hedong that it was Huang Baichuan, the governor of Caizhou, suddenly launched an attack from behind. In less than two days, he defeated Cheng Xisi's rebels and quickly recovered Jinyang City. The rebellion was over.

The first and the next two messages came suddenly, but the result was very different.

At dusk, Zhao Xun summoned some ministers to discuss matters again.

However, compared to the gloomy expression during the day, Zhao Xun now had an unconcealed look of joy on his face.

After more than a dozen ministers arrived, they learned that Huang Baichuan had defeated Cheng Xisi and recovered Jinyang City. They all shouted long live and expressed their congratulations.

Li Xun also made suggestions, but not congratulations, but said seriously: "The situation ahead is unclear. Whether it is Kou Xiong or Huang Baichuan, the news they sent back has not yet been distinguished by the facts. We cannot just forget it and be careless because of just one message."

Li Zhong agreed: "What Li Xun said is reasonable, and people should be sent to Hedong immediately to find out the truth."

Zhao Xun nodded and said to Liu Jinshui beside him: "I treat you as the military ambassador and go to Hedong immediately to find out the real situation."

"Yes, the emperor."

Liu Jinshui bowed to accept the order.

"Prince, how should Huang Baichuan reward him?"

Liu Guanghui suddenly said this.

During the day, Liu Guanghui did not come, but he came tonight.

As we all know, there are two prime ministers in the Zhengshi Hall who are very low-key, one is Yang Daolin and the other is Liu Guanghui. However, the former is forced to be low-key, while the latter is due to personality. This is completely different from his father, the former left prime minister Liu Jie.

Since Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, it has been half a year since Liu Guanghui has been recuperating at home and rarely appears. This is not an excuse, but he is really sick and is not ill. It has not been a serious illness until recently.

In the first year of Tianhe, Liu Guanghui wrote to Zhao Zhi twice, requesting to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate, but was rejected by Zhao Zhi. Before Zhao Zhi died, he once told Zhao Xun to keep Liu Guanghui in the court and not to let him run away.

This is actually a political consideration. Zhao Zhi was worried that after Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, he would not be able to control the ruling situation, and his foundation was unstable, so it was easy to have problems. Moreover, in that rebellion, Yang Binglin was one of the masterminds. After Zhao Xun became emperor, he would definitely attack the Yang clan. At that time, no matter what role and attitude Yang Daolin was in this rebellion, since he was a member of the Yang clan, he would inevitably be implicated. His position as the right prime minister must be unable to be preserved. In this way, the position of the right prime minister is vacant, and Li Zhong has enough prestige and qualifications, but his ability is not enough, so he was excluded. Apart from Li Zhong, who is the most suitable to succeed the right prime minister?

Zhao Zhi took a fancy to Liu Guanghui. Before he died, he told Zhao Xun to keep Liu Guanghui and not approve his request for resignation. This is actually what he meant.

After several major changes and blows, the Right Prime Minister Party where Yang Daosi was actually disintegrated. In addition, Yang Daolin is old and obviously has no time and energy to reorganize the Right Prime Minister Party. After Zhao Xun succeeded to the throne, the most important thing is actually two words: stability. To quickly stabilize the ruling, it is simple and difficult to say, that is, to form a political group that has a common direction with Zhao Xun in terms of politics and interests. This is actually Zhao Zhi's old method back then, which is very practical.

Zhao Zhi had another intention to attract Liu Guanghui, that is, Liu Jie was not dead yet. He was the last person to live in Yang Daosi's generation. As a meritorious veteran, as a former left prime minister, and as the former leader of the Left Prime Minister, as long as Liu Jie was still alive, his words and attitude were definitely enough to greatly affect the direction of the court. Now that the power of the right prime minister and the Yang family fell into decline, there was no resistance. Liu Jie gathered the former left prime minister and the other party again, which was actually easy to do. Zhao Zhi and Liu Jie worked together for decades and knew each other very well. Zhao Zhi knew Liu Jie's nature and he had ambitions, but this ambition was not above the country. With this principle, it could be used for himself to a certain extent.

Let Liu Guanghui re-form the Left Prime Minister Party, unite the imperial power and prime minister power, and form a political wall again. Although this wall is much more fragile than Zhao Zhi's era, it can at least play a certain role in a short period of time. As long as there is time, there will be a chance to plan other things.

Unfortunately, everyone has their own thoughts. There may be only one throne, but the people sitting on it are different.

Zhao Xun obviously listened to Zhao Zhi's dying advice and did it, but not all. In Zhao Xun's opinion, Zhao Zhi's political means may have been very practical in the early stage, but in the later stage, once the political group supported by imperial power as the backing and motivation became stronger, it would eventually be too big and posed a threat to himself.

After hearing Liu Guanghui's words, Zhao Xun frowned and said nothing.

If the war is won, the loser will naturally be punished, but those who have made meritorious will also be rewarded.

Huang Baichuan is now the governor of Caizhou and a prince. Now that he has made such great contributions, how should he reward him?

This is also a contradiction. The court does not want to use the power of the local governor to solve the problem. However, once the matter is over, the local governors who have made contributions will not only give money and be appointed as officials, but also take advantage of the opportunity of war to expand their strength and territory. In the face of such a situation, as long as the governors did not do too much, they would turn a blind eye and keep their interests in the two sides.

Huang Baichuan was born in the White Turban Army and was a rioter. Zhao Xun must have some concerns and precautions for such a person.

Qian Mingdu spoke out and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to recruit Huang Baichuan to Beijing first. It's not too late to think about rewards."

Zhao Xun thought for a while, then nodded: "What Qian Aiqing said is reasonable."

Just as Zhao Xun was about to talk about other things, an eunuch walked in and knelt down by the door and reported loudly: "Emperor, Wang Zhong, the young master of Jingzhao Prefecture, asked for a meeting."

Zhao Xun frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with the idea of ​​someone, but at the same time he was a little strange. What happened to Wang Zhong suddenly came to the palace to pay homage at this time?

"Come in."

"Yes, the emperor."

The eunuch stood up and withdrew. After a moment, Wang Zhong hurriedly walked in.

"I'm going to see the Emperor."

Wang Zhong bowed and bowed.

"No gift."
