During this period, the black iron ore in Mangshan was finally mined. For safety, Long Tian decided to personally lead the army to escort, escorted by the White Robe Army and Guanning Iron Cavalry, back to the northern border.
It was also a good opportunity to deal with the new governor.
The new governor of Zongzhou, Zhao Yuanhai, was the younger brother of Zhao Yuanbo, a senior official of the court. This guy came to Zongzhou because of Zhao Yuanbo's calculation.
Zhao Yuanhai and his brother were not in harmony, and they were both vying for the position of the head of the Zhao family. Zhao Yuanbo took this opportunity to send his younger brother to Zongzhou. It seemed that he was promoting his younger brother and strengthening the strength of the Zhao family. In fact, he knew that the situation in Zongzhou was not right, and Long Tian might not tolerate this governor.
Killing with a borrowed knife was one of Zhao Yuanbo's purposes, and another purpose was to drive Zhao Yuanhai out of the capital and make himself lose this competitor.
The last purpose was that if Zhao Yuanhai had a firm foothold, he would also be inseparable from the support of the Zhao family, and Zhao Yuanbo would also be able to profit.
Zhao Yuanhai naturally knew that his brother had bad intentions, but he had no choice. First of all, he had a low official position and could not meet the emperor directly, let alone participate in decision-making. He could only obey the court's appointment.
In addition, Zhao Yuanhai himself knew that it would be difficult for him to be a rival to his brother in the capital, so it would be better to go far away to find another way out.
As long as he became a senior official or a governor of a state, he might not be a rival to Zhao Yuanbo in the future. Moreover, Zhao Yuanhai was also clear about the situation of Xia State, and he might be able to fight for it if he was sent abroad.
As for Long Tian, Zhao Yuanhai did not care too much, thinking that Long Tian was just relying on the protection of Long Dao, and he might not be a rival.
With this purpose, Zhao Yuanhai went to Zongzhou.
But just after arriving in Zongzhou, Zhao Yuanhai found that he had no one to use. The lords of each city pretended to obey his orders, but secretly disobeyed them. What Zhao Yuanhai could not accept was that through secret investigation, he found that the Zongzhou City Guards had joined the Zhenbei Army.
He, a governor, could not mobilize a single soldier.
This was a big deal, Zhao Yuanhai didn't dare to delay, and immediately wrote a memorial and sent someone to the capital.
But he didn't know that the shadow was always watching him, and the people he sent out were killed as soon as they left Yucheng.
While Zhao Yuanhai was anxiously waiting for the emperor's order, he was also eager to see Long Tian.
Since Zhao Yuanhai became the governor of Zongzhou, he naturally had to exercise his rights. Long Tian, an outsider, must hand over the city guards and leave Zongzhou. Long Tian had no right to interfere in his own territory.
Yu Hualong couldn't stand this person's nagging, so he notified Long Tian.
Long Tian rushed to Mangshan and ordered Yuan Chonghuan to lead the army to guard Xuantie. After preparing to set off immediately, he rushed to Yucheng.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. This governor is too difficult."
As soon as they met, Yu Hualong complained. He was just a seventh-grade warrior. Whether in terms of strength or official position, he was far inferior to Zhao Yuanbo. It must be hard to be restricted everywhere.
"Let's go and meet this Lord Zhao."
Long Tian didn't say much. This Lord Yu was quite capable in all aspects, but his ability to withstand pressure was a little poor.
Soon, Long Tian and his party arrived at the Lord's Mansion.
"Long Tian, you are really a busy man. This governor has been waiting for you for so long, and finally we meet."
This Lord Zhao thinks highly of himself and calls Long Tian directly. Even Wen Wang Xiao Chenghao and Yun Wang Yunshan have to say Long Tian's son when they meet Long Tian.
Not only that, this guy actually sat there without any intention to move, with a disdainful look in his eyes. I really don't know where he got the confidence from.
"What does Lord Zhao want to see this prince for?"
Long Tian saw that this guy was pretending to be cool, so he didn't hesitate and asked directly.
"Long Tian, Zongzhou was in chaos before, and you acted according to your own will. Some of your actions are understandable, but now, not only this governor is here, but General Li Chengye has also taken over Lucheng. Shouldn't some things be changed?"
Declaring sovereignty, Long Tian understood what he meant.
"This prince does not understand, please explain clearly, Lord Zhao."
Long Tian has done a lot of things, how can I know what he said.
"Long Tian, the rebellion in Zongzhou is over, you should return the Zongzhou City Guard to this governor."
According to the old emperor's order, the governor does have the right to mobilize the city guard of a state, otherwise how to fight against the princes who have private armies.
"The previous city guards of Zongzhou have joined the Northern Border Zhenbei Army. Lord Zhao should understand the nature of private armies. This is everyone's own decision. This prince can't help."
"Lord Zhao has just arrived, it's easy to want the city guards. Zongzhou has a population of more than 20 million, Lord Zhao can recruit them by himself."
The benefits obtained can be given away, and even if you can, you can't give it to this self-righteous guy.
"Long Tian, your behavior is tantamount to treason. Do you want His Majesty to issue an order?"
Zhao Yuanhai was angry. Long Tian took the city guards away. How can he rise? Isn't this tripNot only did he come here in vain, he might also face danger and sanctions from the court.
"Lord Zhao, this prince suggests that you learn the laws of the Xia Kingdom. If you continue to speak without restraint, don't blame me for being rude."
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense to you. This prince will give you a few choices."
"First, don't do anything, stay here honestly, live your aristocratic life, and this prince will guarantee you wealth and honor."
"Second, return to Beijing and resign, and wait to die in the fight with your brother."
"Third, this prince will help you get rid of all your troubles."
With just a few simple sentences, Long Tian lost his patience. There was no point in winning over such a guy.
If this guy knows what's good for him, Long Tian doesn't care if he keeps him, as long as he doesn't make trouble for himself. If this guy is stubborn, Long Tian can just find a crime to kill him. Even if the emperor holds him accountable, Long Tian doesn't care.
"Long Tian, you dare to threaten this governor. Don't forget that I am the governor appointed by His Majesty. Are you going to rebel?"
Zhao Yuanhai didn't expect Long Tian to be so chaotic, and he raised his hand to teach Long Tian a lesson.
"How dare you."
Yao Yue stood behind Long Tian and acted the fastest. With a palm, Zhao Yuanhai fell to the ground and spit out blood.
Long Tian didn't give an order, and Yao Yue didn't kill him, otherwise this guy would have been dead.
"Zhao Yuanhai, I give you face and call you Lord Zhao. If I don't give you face, you are nothing. Who gave you the courage to go against this prince, the old emperor? Or your brother who wants to kill you."
"Since you dare to do it, it means you have made a choice. Although killing you is a little troublesome, it's not a big deal. Yao Yue, send him on his way."
If he dares to do it, even if the old emperor is here, Zhao Yuanhai will definitely die.
"How dare you, you useless piece of shit, you really think you are capable, don't think that this is Zongzhou, no one can deal with you."
He was still shouting even when he was about to die.
Snap, Yao Yue slapped him again, and Zhao Yuanhai fell down with disbelief in his eyes.
