No matter what, Chen Tong's statement still satisfies Li Chen.

"I heard from Sanbao yesterday that you went to Xishan Province to protect Zhaoheshan?"

Chen Tong hurriedly replied: "Yes, I just returned to the capital in the morning."

"The situation in Xishan Province is much more complicated than we imagined. The local government has basically lost its role. Officials are used by local tyrants and local tyrants and fish and meat for the people."

"And officials and powerful people have formed a large force to support family servants, and their families' weapons and equipment are not weaker than those of the imperial army."

"Since Lord Zhao arrived at Xishan Province, the high-pressure policy adopted has caused a series of rebounds among local gentry and officials."

"At the beginning, the gentry and officials were still patient, trying to get Lord Zhao and they were bribed. However, after Lord Zhao refused all the temptations, he killed several officials who came to bribe. Then the local gentry and officials began to form cliques to fight Lord Zhao."

Chen Tong obviously came here prepared for this trip. He did his homework and reported it in an orderly manner.

"At the beginning, they just disobeyed all the government orders of Lord Zhao, and followed the rules and not the propaganda."

"But Lord Zhao does have some skills. By supporting some poor officials who have been suppressed and have gathered a group of people."

"With His Highness's support, Lord Zhao has barely gained a foothold in Xishan Province, and some of the decrees issued can be implemented."

"But in this way, some measures issued by Lord Zhao, such as resting the fields to raise the people, rob wealth and rescue disasters, forcibly forcing local local tyrants to release the fields, and saving the people in the granary, completely touched the interests of the local powerful groups, and they began to assassinate Lord Zhao."

"At the worst time, in just one day, there were three killers who wanted to kill Lord Zhao. Lord Zhao was also lucky, and with the protection of the Jinyiwei, there was no serious problem."

Speaking of this, Chen Tonggong bowed and said seriously: "Your Highness, I think that if this continues, the Xishan Province will be nothing more than two consequences."

"Speak and listen."

Li Chen said calmly and calmly.

He did not evaluate whether Zhao Heshan's series of measures were good or bad, nor was he furious because of the boldness and arrogance of the local powerful group.

It can be said that Li Chen, who knew history and the power of the gentry and local tyrant groups in the feudal era, was not surprised by all this.

It's not surprising that they do something bolder.

Chen Tong said seriously: "Either the Xishan Province was completely forced to rebel, and the local gentry and local tyrants colluded with the rebels to kill Lord Zhao, which represents a formal confrontation with the court."

"Either there are stronger and more powerful figures that force them to compromise and not violate the waters of the imperial court, but the imperial court must ensure their existing interests and promise not to settle accounts after the fall."

Li Chen laughed when he heard this.

He looked at Chen Tong with fun and said, "Chen Tong, you, the commander, went to Xishan Province and you have gained a lot."

Chen Tong's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I don't understand the humble position."

"Did you say this yourself, or is it someone who wants you to say it?" Li Chen's tone gradually faded.

Chen Tong lowered his head at this moment. Although he didn't go to see Li Chen, he could clearly feel the majesty above his head, which was getting stronger and stronger.

The air around slowly solidified, as if it had frozen, making Chen Tong difficult to breathe.
