?

Unexpectedly, when Li Xun mentioned Beijiang Society, Zhao Xun knew a lot about this Jianghu organization.

Li Xun said in surprise: "My cousin has had contact with Beijiang? No, if so, Ruan Donglang would not ask me to recommend him and would like to meet you in person."

Zhao Xun said softly: "I also heard a thing or two about the Beijiang Meeting from my father."

"Uncle the Emperor?"

Li Xun was even more surprised. After Long You was assassinated, he got some understanding of the Beijiang Society through Ouyang Li. Later, Li Xun ordered Liu Xie to inquire about the Beijiang Society.

The result of the investigation was that, on the surface, this organization was engaged in regular business, but in fact it was engaged in the business of killing people and selling goods, and its structure was very secretive. From the surface, nothing could be seen at all. Liu Xie had been investigating for more than a year, but there was no investigation.

There was a lot of useful information until a few days ago, when Ruan Donglang came uninvited and explained his identity. Li Xun was shocked to realize that Ruan Donglang, who had been actively befriending him, was actually a member of the Beijiang Society, although he didn't say much.

What, but Li Xun could guess that Ruan Donglang's status in the Beijiang Society was probably not low.

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Beijiang Association didn't have much before. It was just a relatively famous chamber of commerce in the Jiangnan area. It did a lot of business. In the sixth year of Guangyuan, there was a coup in Annan Champa. The Zhang family usurped the throne and Champa

The royal family members suffered heavy losses, and the main line was basically killed. Some side branches fled to the Jin Dynasty. In the seventh year of Guangyuan, a man named Ruan Zhonghe met his father in the name of the King of Champa and asked the Jin Dynasty to send troops to help him recover.

country......"

Listening to Zhao Xun's explanation, Li Xun really didn't know what to say. It turned out that Zhao Xun actually knew more about the Beijiang Society than he did.

When the Champa regime in Annan was overthrown, Ruan Zhonghe once approached Zhao Zhi for help. However, at that time in the Jin Dynasty, the state affairs had just improved a little, and the scars caused by Ping Zong were still there. Zhao Zhi simply did not have the strength or the inclination to go there.

Help Ruan Zhonghe, but Jin is the suzerain of Annan Champa after all, so he flatly refused, which was morally unreasonable and hurt Zhao Zhi's face. In the end, Zhao Zhi could only act two-faced, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Things just dragged on.

Unable to find help from Zhao Zhi, Ruan Zhonghe had no choice but to turn to Lingnan and use Beijiang Society as the foundation to develop his power with the intention of recovering the country on his own strength.

Zhao Zhi was aware of some of Beijiang Club's secret actions in Jiangnan and Lingnan, but did not stop it and gave it a certain space for development, but there were also some restrictions. For example, the 20,000 troops that Beijiang Club developed in Luzhou, Zhao Zhi

Someone was sent to warn Ruan Zhonghe, the maximum is 20,000, if it's too much, it won't work.

The reason why Zhao Zhi appeased the Beijiang Hui was based on many considerations. After the Zhang family usurped the power of Champa in Annan, their attitude towards the Jin Dynasty was always hostile, and Lingnan did not have many troops. The Beijiang Hui and the Zhang family were mortal enemies.

The Beijiang Society has 20,000 troops in Lingnan. This military force is not too big or small, and it is within the controllable range. It does not have to pay for the troops themselves. Once the Zhang family sends troops to invade Lingnan, the Beijiang Society will be a very important force.

The defensive strength will be of great help to the stability of the entire Lingnan. In this way, Zhao Zhi does not have to put too many troops in Lingnan and can spare more energy to deal with the situation in the entire Central Plains.

Zhao Zhi's attitude towards the Beijiang Society was very obvious. He neither ignored nor suppressed it.

Seeing that Ruan Zhonghe and others could not join Zhao Zhi's line, they could only seek the next best option and began to look for alliances with other powerful people.

The two people who are currently in close contact with the Beijiang Society are Wei Wennan, the military governor of Qianzhou, and Lu Siyao, the military governor of Chenzhou. I hope to get their help when the strength is accumulated to a certain extent. In fact, these two

Jiedushi was based in Lingnan and was very close to Annan, so he was indeed an ideal candidate.

However, after Li Xun appeared in their field of vision, and with the leadership of Ruan Donglang, the opinions within the Beijiang Society began to change. The reason was very simple. They were not interested in Li Xun, but Zhao Xun, the king of Qi behind Li Xun.

, because he was a strong contender for the position of crown prince of the Jin Dynasty. Until Zhao Xun ascended to the position of crown prince, the top leaders of the Beijiang Society finally reached a unified opinion. Through Li Xun, they all supported Zhao Xun. As long as Zhao Xun would

After boarding the Ninth Five-Year Plan, with his help, there is really great hope for the restoration of the country.

After listening to Zhao Xun's words, Li Xun thought for a moment and finally said: "Cousin, Beijiang will approach you, and the purpose is not simple."

"Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Pies in the sky will not fall for no reason."

Zhao Xun smiled and said these words.

Li Xun said: "The ultimate goal of the Beijiang Society is to regain the country. Ruan Donglang now wants to make friends with you, cousin, obviously because he hopes that you can help them in this regard when he ascends the throne in the future."

Zhao Xun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said quietly: "We will discuss the future matters later. Ruan Donglang wants to see me, it is not impossible, but... he must show enough sincerity."

Li Xun said in confusion: "Besides having money, what else does Beijiang Club have? Cousin, you don't seem to be short of money."

Zhao Xun will then have an armed force of his own, called the Six Guards of the Crown Prince's East Palace, with about 12,000 people. This army will be drawn from the Forbidden Army. Zhao Zhi has already stated that the Six Guards of the Crown Prince's East Palace will be

All the expenses for the rate will be borne by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which means that Zhao Xun does not have to spend any money himself, and the biggest expenses will be cut off. Therefore, Zhao Xun's prince will be very comfortable and does not need to worry about money.

Besides money, what else can the Beijiang Society give Zhao Xun?

Zhao Xun looked at Li Xun and said meaningfully: "Although I am the prince, I am the most restrained. You are more free outside."

Li Xun was slightly shocked, glanced at Zhao Xun, and said nothing.

The prince and the emperor are contradictory existences. It is very meaningful for Zhao Xun to become the prince. Those who relied on him in the past were just looking for a goal, or moving towards a hope. Now, with Zhao Xun successfully becoming the prince

position, this hope has been infinitely magnified. Those who are attached have no other thoughts and will definitely put everything on Zhao Xun.

The political situation around him will undergo fundamental changes. This is Zhao Xun's own political force, a political force that even Zhao Zhi cannot control.

How could Zhao Zhi not see this change, so he valued Zhao Xun and made him the prince. At the same time, he would also take certain precautions. The six guards in the east palace of the prince were led by Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pay for his maintenance, which seemed to be a sign of Zhao Xun's support.

In fact, isn't the love and protection also a kind of prevention? The army gave it to Zhao Xun, but the leadership is still in Zhao Zhi's own hands?

It cannot be said that Zhao Zhi is too suspicious. This is the art of emperors and the foundation of human nature. You are the person I value most. I will make you the prince, and the country will be handed over to you in the future. But... I will be alive for one day.

, I will always be the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. No one can get involved in my rights. If I die, everything will naturally be handed over to you. If I don’t die, just be honest and don’t do anything inappropriate.
