Zhao Baian has indeed become ill during this period, so what Chen Meng said to Li Xun is not entirely an excuse.

Zhao Bai'an sat in the first seat of the lobby, and He Shuping kept saying compliments below. Zhao Qiankun and other Jiangnan generals looked a little embarrassed when they looked at Zhao Bai'an and He Shuping.

Zhao Baian had no concealment of He Shuping, or the group of eunuchs, his contemptuous attitude and expression at all.

As a eunuch, both inside and outside the palace were admired and praised by many people. They got along very well with most people, but only Zhao Baian, they despise each other, and they were very dirty, and their relationship was quite bad.

He Shuping had a smile on his face and was talking, but deep down he was extremely angry. Zhao Baian despised him so much, so he did not offend him. Zhao Baian treated him like this, so that he could not get out of the stage in front of everyone.

He Shuping regretted it very much at this time. He shouldn't be rushing to go to the city to find Zhao Baian first. He thought about getting along with him and was trapped in close proximity. Now it seems that he is humiliating himself and losing all his face.

He Shuping said for a long time, but he didn't see Zhao Baian saying anything, and he didn't even look at him. This undoubtedly treated himself as air. After saying the last sentence, He Shuping laughed twice, so he stopped talking. Although he still kept a smile on his face, his hands were holding it tightly, revealing his mood at the moment.

At this time, Li Xun and others finally arrived.

Zhao Baian glanced away and saw Sima Zhong and Huang Hui who came in first, his face suddenly became gloomy.

As soon as Li Xun came in, he saw Zhao Baian's face gloomy. His steps suddenly accelerated. He passed Sima Zhong and Huang Hui in front of him and walked towards Zhao Baian.

The advantages and disadvantages of Zhao Baian are very obvious.

The advantage is that Zhao Baian is a man with strong abilities and military talents comparable to Li Zhong. He has been in charge of Jiangnan for more than 20 years. He has made great achievements and shocked all directions. The adjacent Chuzhou Jiedushi Wang Huaili, Caizhou Jiedushi Huang Baichuan, including Lu Si from Lingnan and Wei Wennan. When Zhao Baian was there, no one dared to be arrogant. Including the Battle of Jiangnan in the fifth year of Chengping, Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang launched a massive rebellion, but they did not dare to enter Jiangnan easily because they were afraid of Zhao Baian. Otherwise, Yue The governor of E Jie, Yang Liecheng, including Huang Baichuan, and so many forces united, his strategic goal should be to occupy the entire Jiangnan, separating half of the country and fighting the court before Huang Suo's leadership arrived. However, they did not do so. The reason is very simple, because they knew Zhao Baian's ability and strength very well. It was impossible to take Hongzhou in a short time, so they changed their strategy, first fight against Huang Suo, then gather all their strength, turn around and slowly deal with Zhao Baian.

Including this battle in Lingnan, it is enough to show Zhao Baian's military talent. He marches slowly, disperses troops, builds city walls, and dilutes the passages. Everything is all about paralyzing Shihu. After Shihu was trapped, Zhao Baian immediately concentrated his elite cavalry and launched a sudden attack for two hundred miles a night, defeating Shihu in one fell swoop, completely changing the direction of the entire war.

The disadvantage is that Zhao Baian is a person who is too face-saving and too face-saving, often prone to being too self-self. What they do is right and what is wrong is right, and others cannot tolerate any of them saying that they are not right. Therefore, Zhao Baian cannot have a good relationship with anyone among peers or peers, including Li Zhong, one is the adopted son of the late emperor and the other is Zhao Zhi's righteous brother. Logically speaking, with this relationship, it is easy for them to have a good relationship and should get along with each other. But in fact, Zhao Baian is very jealous of Li Zhong and said many ugly words in Li Zhong behind his back. He is also very dissatisfied with Li Zhong's success in Anbei, and even disdainful of Li Zhong's success in Anbei.

Zhao Baian has been strong all his life, and there are only a few people who can make him low-key, including Zhao Zhi. Every year, Zhao Baian returns to Beijing to report his work. Zhao Zhi invites him to the palace for a banquet. He can be said to be both talking and laughing, and praises him. He only says good things and never says anything else. Zhao Zhi has very few smiles because his personality is taciturn and very serious. It can be said that it is very, very rare to be able to treat a person like this.

Zhao Zhi is afraid of Zhao Baian? Of course not.

Zhao Zhi is deliberately trying to please Zhao Baian? Not so.

Just like a tiger, you can only touch it along its fur. Once you go against it, you will definitely hurt people suddenly.

The reason why Zhao Zhi followed Zhao Bai'an was very simple. Zhao Bai'an was a man with strong ability, great contributions, and greater roles. However, at the same time, he had no ambitions and was very loyal to the court and himself.

Zhao Zhi knows Zhao Baian very well. You have to have a cold face, put on an air, play with those scheming, make him be timid and satisfy your self-esteem, and in the end it will only backfire and cause unnecessary trouble. Since this is the case, what's wrong with lowering your attitude?

From this point of view, Zhao Zhi is very open-minded about some things.

Li Xun took the initiative to bow to Zhao Baian, and then smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for several years, Uncle Zhao is getting younger and younger. It's so great."

At this time, the others did not forget Li Xun's identity and stood up to pay their respects: "Greetings to the Prime Minister."

Li Xun waved his hands repeatedly and laughed: "In front of Uncle Zhao, I, Li Xun, are just a junior, and I can't bear the call of you all."

Seeing Li Xun's attitude, Zhao Baian's gloomy face suddenly eased a lot, and he waved his hand and said, "You have worked hard all the way, sit down and talk."

Li Xun nodded and sat down on the left.

Zhao Baian started chatting with Li Xun, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. In addition, Li Xun was both the prime minister of the current dynasty and the nephew of the Empress Dowager Li Yi, and his status was prominent. Now he took the initiative to lower his attitude and deliberately flatter him. Zhao Baian felt very proud and felt comfortable, so he naturally felt better.

"It's not the time to reminisce about the past, so it's not too late to say anything later."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Baian said indifferently: "You came this time and brought the imperial decree from the court. I wonder what the emperor said?"

Li Xun stood up and smiled and said, "Of course, it is rewarded on merit. There are many people involved. I am afraid everyone needs to receive the order and thank you together."
