Finally, it was Li Xun's turn, and he was to be appointed as the governor of Longyou West Road.

After the announcer shouted these words, everyone was stunned. Even Li Xun himself was stunned. Wasn't he the deputy? How could he directly become the governor?

"Confer Li Xun the title of Military Envoy of Longyou West Road."

The proclaimer read the appointment edict for the second time.

Finally, a minister came to his senses, stood up from the train, and hurriedly objected. Moreover, he was not alone, but a group of people.

Zhang Jin looked back at Li Xun and said with a wicked smile: "Brother Li, it seems that your popularity in the court is not very good."

Li Xun chuckled and said meaningfully: "A person who is liked by others is not necessarily a good person, and a person who is disliked is not necessarily a bad person. No one is perfect. After all, some people like it and some don't."

Zhang Jin took a deep look at Li Xun and didn't expect that his mentality was so good.

"Li Xun!"

Zhao Zhi's voice came out.

"I'm here."

Li Xun was shocked, and he quickly stood up, came to the middle of the hall, and bowed to Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi said quietly: "You should have heard what the ministers said. What do you want to say?"

Li Xun bowed and said: "I do have little virtue and talent. The post of Longyou Jiedushi is so important. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on such an important task."

Li Xun was not angry at all when those ministers objected to his appointment as Jiedushi. How old was he this year? He was just in his early twenties. Huang Xun had made so many contributions and it was only after the Battle of Longyou last year that he was over fifty.

At such a young age, he became the military governor of Anbei Province, and it was only the military governor of Wuzhou. However, there was more than just one Wuzhou province in Longyou West Road. Even Li Zhong became the military governor of Anbei at a record-breaking age.

He is also twenty-three years old, nearly two years older than himself.

His qualifications and achievements were indeed too low. If he really wanted to be the governor of Longyou West Road, Li Xun himself felt a little unsure and guilty.

Zhao Zhi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "In that case, let's demote him by half a level to deputy envoy of Longyou West Road Jiedu and governor of Wuzhou."

"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."

An Jian, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up.

Zhao Zhi glanced at him, nodded and said, "You can speak frankly."

An Jian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xun has been poor and weak since he was a child and does not know the ways of civil and military affairs. Now he has just passed his prime and is too young. Although he participated in the Battle of Jiangnan and the Battle of Longyou, he did not

I have never led an army alone, so I'm afraid I don't have enough experience. Wuzhou and Xizhou are across the river. They are the forefront of our Jin Dynasty and the Dashi Empire. Once a war breaks out, we will definitely bear the brunt. If there are no people who are good at fighting, we may not be able to withstand it.

.”

Li Xun frowned, looked at An Jian, and felt a little unhappy. This person's words were a little unpleasant. You just talk about things, why are you talking about my background? Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me?

Zhao Zhi also frowned slightly, tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously, and said: "If you don't have experience, you can accumulate it. This is not an unsolvable problem."

Mu Gong secretly gave Zhao Zhi a worried look. How could he not know Zhao Zhi's habits after following him for so many years? Zhao Zhi's character is very gloomy and serious, and his joy and anger are rarely shown on his face, but through some small movements, he can

I can see some of Zhao Zhi's mood, like tapping the table gently now, it means that Zhao Zhi is already unhappy in his heart at this moment.

When Zhao Zhi said this, he was obviously partial to Li Xun. An Jian opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Your Majesty's words are very good. Although Li Xun is young, he is calm in the face of danger and dares to make decisions in critical moments. If it were not for Li Xun's support in the Jiangnan battle, it would be difficult for Huang Chao to take Yingzhou City in one fell swoop."

Qin Anming stood up, raised his hands and said: "In the Battle of Longyou, Li Xun led an army of ten thousand. Facing the overwhelming superiority of Tibet's troops, he was not afraid of danger, commanded well, and fought to the death, so that he was successful. Mr. An's experience is not enough. I will never agree."

Li Xun lowered his head, his face a little red. He remembered that at that time, he was trembling with fear, and he was still complaining about revenge. Why should Li Qingying stay away from the battlefield to report the news, instead of himself.

Zhao Zhi raised his finger and pointed down at Qin Anming, motioning him to sit down. Qin Anming knew that Zhao Zhi didn't want to talk more, so he bowed and sat down.

Zhao Zhi looked at An Jian and said softly: "An Aiqing, what you said makes sense. Li Xun has to hold a high position at a young age, but it is a bit inappropriate. Let's do this. Let Li Xun be the governor of Wuzhou. , how about concurrently serving as the inspector of Longyou West Road?"

What else could An Jian say, so she bowed and retreated, no longer arguing.

During the Battle of Longyou, Li Xun was already a fourth-rank general. Although this official position was removed, his third-rank Wu Sanguan was still there, and the governor of Wuzhou was also a fourth-rank general. Li Xun was indeed qualified to hold the position. , there is no point in continuing the debate.

The atmosphere in today's court meeting was strange. Logically speaking, Li Xun's appointment was a very sensitive matter, but there were still many people who came out to oppose it. Aren't these people afraid of Zhao Zhi? Afraid, of course, but no matter what. When to be afraid, when not to be afraid. Since Zhao Zhi took the throne, he has never used words to punish sins. Even if the ministers say the wrong thing at the court meeting, Zhao Zhi usually won't mind too much. Therefore, during the court meeting, the ministers usually don't mind too much. You still dare to speak and tell the truth. Of course, this matter must be looked at from both sides. If you insist on opposing something that Zhao Zhi cares about, even if you succeed, if you make Zhao Zhi unhappy, your future political future will not be the same. I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Li Xun was granted the title of Governor of Wuzhou and Supervisor of Longyou West Road. It was finally passed on the third reading. Li Xun kowtows to express his gratitude. In this era, there is no need to kneel to the emperor before kneeling to heaven and to one's parents. Many ministers saw Li Xun's gesture. , all showing contempt and disdain.

"Get up."

But there was a smile on Zhao Zhi's face, and he said quietly: "I went to Longyou and did a good job."

"I will not disappoint His Majesty."

Li Xun nodded heavily.

After Li Xun's appointment was approved, the court dispersed.

After the court was over, Zhao Zhi did not leave first, but sat there, drinking tea silently. Wang Renzhi did not leave either. After everyone left, he stood up, bowed deeply to Zhao Zhi, and said nothing. Did not say.

Zhao Zhi glanced at him and said silently: "It is tiring to hold a position for a long time. Wang Renzhi, when you first entered the political hall in the first year of Taiping, I remember you once said that you wanted to do more in the local area. In a few years, I will do more practical things for the people."

Wang Renzhi nodded: "I said so."

"I won't tell you the importance of Longyou, but you should also understand that you should do your best there. If someone else goes there, I... won't worry."

Wang Renzhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head slightly to hide his emotions.

"Emperor... Prime Minister, who can... last forever?"
