"After Ma Kui, two veteran generals of Jie Bing died, the commander was furious and couldn't afford to get sick. He has been lying in bed for these days. The order to attack the city was done by Sima Zhong and Huang Hui. They have written memorials to convey to the court and request punishment."

Chen Fang said this.

Sima Zhong and Huang Hui were dissatisfied with Zhao Baian's reckless behavior, but in the end, they still put the overall situation first and took all the responsibilities on themselves.

Li Xun was silent for a long time and nodded at last. This may be the best result. For the outside world, the court has a fairly decent explanation and explanation for the people of the world. Internally, Zhao Baian will not have anything. His existence is very important for the stability of the situation in Lingnan.

Chen Fang looked at Li Xun quietly, waiting for him to make his final statement.

Li Xun must have known the whole story clearly. If the imperial court's order was reached, he would not agree with this approach, but wrote to the court to state the facts, the problem would be complicated. So Chen Meng came tonight, and more importantly, he hoped to convince Li Xun that big things would turn into small things and small things would turn into small things, so that the matter would pass as soon as possible.

Li Xun looked at Chen Fang and said silently: "Zhao Baian worked hard and made great contributions... and... Lingnan has just been pacified and cannot do without him."

After hearing Li Xun's words, Chen Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Xun did not say it clearly, he had already expressed his meaning.

Chen Wan stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster of the Lower Office, thank you Li Xiangguo."

Li Xun said softly: "After this matter, don't stay too long. Go back and accompany my father and perform your last filial piety."

Chen Fun nodded with a key point, bowed again, and then turned around and left.

Li Xun sat there alone, drinking silently.

Bi Xiangzu whispered beside him: "Sir, I feel a little unhappy?"

Li Xun whispered: "There is a man who did something wrong, but his responsibility is something that others have to bear for him. Do you think this is right or wrong?"

Bi Xiangzu said, "What the lord said about the massacre of the city in Chenzhou?"

Bi Xiangzu has been following Li Xun for a while, and he has heard of many things. Chen Meng ended here tonight and talked with Li Xun in the room for a whole hour. It is very likely that this matter was involved. And just outside, Li Xun and Chen Meng had communicated with people who came here together. From their mouths, they also found some things. It is not difficult to imagine that Chen Meng found Li Xun tonight, which was very likely to be pleading for Zhao Bai'an and persuading Li Xun.

Li Xun shook his head and said nothing.

Bi Xiangzu didn't ask much.

After a while, Li Xun suddenly sighed and said, "I wonder how Zhao Baian was feeling at this time?"

The overall situation, the overall situation, in the face of the overall situation, many things are no longer important.

Early the next morning, Li Xun got up early and then went to Hongzhou City. Chen Fun is now in trouble and cannot come out to receive Li Xun. However, many other officials, when they heard that Li Xun was coming, seemed very enthusiastic and hospitable. When the prefect of the dynasty came here, many people actively received Li Xun for whatever purpose.

Li Xun actually doesn't like it too much. He likes quietness, but he can't help but be in the world. Even if he doesn't like many things, since he is in this environment, Li Xun can only passively accept them. For example, the gifts sent by officials of all sizes are not thin. For example, Cheng Bingcheng, the governor of Yizhou, sent food to Hongzhou, and happened to meet Li Xun here. So he also attended the welcoming banquet for Li Xun that night and gave a Buddha statue to honor Li Xun. Li Xun didn't think anything at first, just a Buddha statue, although it was a bit big, but it was just made of copper, which was not worth much. However, when Bi Xiangzu moved away from the Buddha statue, he accidentally discovered that the base of the Buddha statue was actually shining with gold. So he was curious and scratched it with a knife to scrape off the copper on the surface. Then he found that the half-person-sized Buddha statue was all made of gold. In this way, such a large Buddha statue is worth more than ten thousand taels.

Bi Xiangzu immediately told Li Xun about this situation.

Li Xun frowned slightly, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. After thinking about it, he said, "You go to Cheng Bingcheng now and let him come and take away the Buddha statue."

"Yes, sir."

Bi Xiangzu responded and left.

Li Xun rubbed his eyebrows and drank a lot of wine at night. After socializing for half a night, he was a little tired, so he took off his clothes and fell to bed.

When Li Xun got up the next day, he found that the Buddha statue was still there, so he called Bi Xiangzu to ask why.

Bi Xiangzu said: "Cheng Bingcheng left overnight last night and had already returned to Yizhou. Beizhi had to return empty-handed."

Seeing that Li Xun didn't say anything, Bi Xiangzu said, "It's better to send it to Yizhou directly. In this way, Cheng Bingcheng would not have the chance to refuse."

Cheng Bingcheng left overnight, obviously not wanting to give Li Xun the opportunity to return the Buddha statue.

Li Xun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, he will give it to me, I'll accept it."

Bi Xiangzu looked at Li Xun with some surprise. In his impression, Li Xun was not a greedy person, but now he chose to accept this generous gift, which made him a little difficult to understand, but since Li Xun had already decided, he would not say much.

Facing Bi Xiangzu's surprise, Li Xun smiled and did not explain anything.

Everyone's psychology has a dark side. When Li Xun visited the place this time, the money and food he had in his hands were as large as millions. Even if he showed integrity and selflessness, others would always have doubts. There was so much money and food without supervision. Did Li Xun not keep a penny privately? This is impossible. I am afraid that even Zhao Xun would think so. There is nothing strange about this. This is the kind of mentality of a person.

Since this is the case, Li Xun simply let go. During this time he arrived at the local area, he accepted all the filial piety from local officials and took whatever he gave. After returning to Fengjing, he handed it over to Zhao Xun, which was just enough to enrich the treasury.

"Sir, you've gotten up."

Chen He's voice came from outside the door.

Li Xun walked out the door and smiled at Chen He and said, "When did you arrive in Hongzhou?"

Chen He said with a smile: "I just came from Yongzhou and heard that the lord had arrived, so I rushed to come."

Chen He has been in Yongzhou for a while, which is the headquarters of the Beijiang Association. Li Xun asked him to go to Yongzhou. First, he obtained the 500,000 Dan grain left by Ruan Donglang, and then closely monitored the internal trends of the Beijiang Association.

Li Xun nodded and went to the living room with Chen He for breakfast.

The two of them were having dinner while chatting.

Ruan Donglang did give Li Xun a big gift, and he left a total of 500,000 grains in Yongzhou, all of which were given to Li Xun.

Chen He said: "Sir, although the war in Lingnan has ended, Zhan Po still has heavy troops on the border. Zhao Baian and the others cannot leave for a while. The food and grass are consumed hugely. The 500,000 Dan grains in Yongzhou may not be transported to Henan."

Li Xun said: "The food in Henan is not to worry about for the time being. We can still hold on for a while. For the subsequent food problems, we are trying to find a way. Nothing can happen in Lingnan. You can go to the governor's mansion later and tell the governor Shen Fang about Yongzhou. Let him organize manpower to transport the 500,000 Dan grain to Lingnan as soon as possible."
