He failed to escape the attack of the disease and passed away, which is reasonable!

Therefore, when Zhao Tong heard the news, except for the look of astonishment on his face, he returned to peace in his heart.

The key is the second piece of information brought by the messenger.

There was something about it that caught him by surprise, and even made him look suspicious.

"The ministers in the court actually allow me, a young man who is only twenty-three years old, to take over the position of Governor Huo?"

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind for a moment.

He knew very well that the current ministers in Chengdu seemed to be monolithic, but in fact they were full of factions.

Especially after the pacification of Yizhou, with Liu Bei's tacit approval, Zhuge Liang joined forces with Fazheng, Liu Ba and other confidants to launch rounds of attacks on the local wealthy families.

Their interests are constantly being eroded.

Although Zhao Tong was not in the court, he was concerned about the affairs at home and often heard about such situations.

Now he knew very well in his heart that even though these local wealthy people were afraid of power on the surface, they did not dare to act rashly at all.

But deep down, I felt dissatisfied and even rebellious.

They certainly do not want to be suppressed by their Yuan Cong faction, the Jingzhou faction, and the Dongzhou faction.

He will definitely be very eager to regain the huge power that monopolized everything in Liu Zhang's era.

As long as they have this idea, the local people will definitely not want to see the second generation of the Yuan Cong family continue to hold military power.

If not, wouldn't they have no chance of success in their lives?

And Zhao Tong is very clear about his current identity.

As the son of Zhao Yun, if the issue of replacing him as governor was raised in the court, he would definitely be rejected unanimously by the locals.

Under such pressure, it was really unexpected that he could still take over as the governor of the second county as promised!

"It seems that the king is very ambitious in suppressing the natives of Yizhou!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Tong suddenly thought it through very clearly, and with a smile on his face, he said, "But it's good, after inheriting the title of governor, my authority will be much greater in the future, making it easier to do things."

Immediately afterwards, he paused, then suddenly stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked closely at the north, and said with a stern look on his face, "With me guarding the two counties, Cao Jun will never think about swallowing up the two counties again."
