Wei and Jin cooks

"Although Wang Jun is cunning and cunning, he is more suitable to be the governor of a state than Gou Chun. Therefore, for the sake of the Jin Dynasty and our future development and stability, Gou Chun cannot be this governor."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The general is very tolerant to him because of his brotherhood. I know that you will not let him give up the official position of Qingzhou governor, so I can only persuade Wang Jun to take it for himself."

Gou Xi sneered: "It sounds grand, but it's not to weaken my power. Why, you want to be the next regent?"

Zhao Hanzhang now is the same as he was two years ago. Two years ago, he wanted to oust the emperor, kill the King of Donghai, and rescue the emperor; now, does Zhao Hanzhang also want to kill him so that he can replace him?

Zhao Hanzhang met his sharp and probing eyes and couldn't help but smile, "I can promise you, General, that unless you harm Your Majesty, I will never be the first person around Your Majesty."

Gou Xi stared at her eyes carefully to make sure she was not lying, and then asked slowly: "Then why does Your Majesty want to move the capital back to Luoyang? Governor Zhao, you want to be a feudal official, but your uncle may not be willing. Being a hostage all the time, holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, my great-uncle's ambitions are beyond comparison."

Zhao Hanzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "The general misunderstood. My uncle is a very good person."

The two people's eyes met, and they both snorted secretly in their hearts.

Gou Xi raised her chin towards the Buddha statue and asked, "Is this an apology?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "It's just an apology."

Gou Xi didn't believe it at all, "Since you felt ashamed of Gou Chun, why did you confront him when you entered the city?"

He felt the gift was a bribe.

Zhao Hanzhang blinked and said: "Who said I am ashamed of Gou Chun? I never feel ashamed of him. I just don't want to ruin the friendship with the general because of him. If I really want to say I am ashamed, I am also ashamed of the general."

Zhao Hanzhang made no secret of his disgust for Gou Chun, and even in turn sow discord between their brothers, "General, it's not me who is instigating discord, but General Gou Chun is too stupid and overbearing. If he doesn't change his ways, My character may cause great trouble to the general in the future."

This time, Gou Xi was speechless.

The counselors and subordinates around Gou Xi had long been dissatisfied with Gou Chun. They were sitting on the wooden screen behind Gou Xi. When they heard Zhao Hanzhang's advice, they nodded along.

Of course, Zhao Hanzhang was here, so they couldn't go out, and they couldn't admonish Gou Chun in front of outsiders. They could only find other problems.

Zhao Hanzhang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water. It was so spicy that she almost spit it out. Zhao Hanzhang tried her best to swallow it calmly, but because she was unprepared and the wine was spicy enough, the corners of her eyes were still a little red.

Gou Xi noticed it and couldn't help but smile. She picked up the bowl and drank half of it. After putting down the bowl, she looked at her proudly.

Zhao Hanzhang picked up the tea bowl and smelled it carefully, raising his eyebrows in surprise, "How was this wine made? It doesn't smell fragrant."

Gou Xi said proudly: "The best thing about this wine is this. The aroma is light but the wine is strong. If you keep it for a while, you won't smell the aroma of the wine anymore."

He also wanted to introduce this wine in detail. A servant came forward to pour wine for Gou Xi. Zhao Hanzhang's sharp eyes saw him take out a note from his sleeve and give it to Gou Xi.

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes seemed to fall on the big screen behind him.

Her ears are very good, although they are not so powerful that she can hear people's breathing, but she can still hear the sound of grinding ink, playing with the inkstone, pulling out paper, and the pen tip walking on the paper, even if their movements are very gentle.

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine. He was more cautious this time and only drank in small sips without choking.

Gou Xi lowered his head and glanced at the words on the note, then quickly crumpled the note into a ball and held it in his hand. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Hanzhang, "In the past two months, a force appeared in Jizhou and attacked more than ten cities in Jizhou. There is a serious drought in Zhou and Jizhou, and there are rebellions everywhere, but within his jurisdiction, there is not a single rebellion, and there are even Linxian surrenders. Does Governor Zhao know who is the leader?"

Zhao Hanzhang's heart skipped a beat and he nodded without changing his expression: "I know. Speaking of which, I should also know the general. His leader is Zu Ti. I heard that he was once a prince of Zhongshe, and he was recruited to join the army when he was the king of Donghai. It's just that he didn't go out because he was filial to his mother."

Gou Xi: "Zu Ti is also a famous scholar. He is a good friend of Liu Kun. I thought he should be a loyal man. Unexpectedly, he did not accept the call from the imperial court and instead gathered refugees in Jizhou privately. Governor Zhao, what do you think he wanted to do? Woolen cloth?"

Zhao Hanzhang put down his bowl, sat down and said: "General, Zu Ti is now grabbing land from Shi Le and Liu Yuan, and is trying to regain his homeland."

Gou Xi: "I'm afraid his ambition will grow bigger and bigger, and eventually it will be out of control."

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to curse in his heart, but he sighed: "Who can say otherwise? The general trend of the world is that today it is your family, the next day it is my family, and the next day it is his family. It is unpredictable."

Gou Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Since you know that the general trend will favor his family in the future, why not kill him before he gets up, so that the general trend will no longer favor his family."

This is not an attempt to strangle Zu Ti, it is clearly an attempt to strangle her.

After all, the current situation is very likely that his today is her tomorrow.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "If you kill a Zu Ti, there will still be Zhang Ti, Wang Ti, and Zhou Ti. When we focus on eliminating dissidents, the dissidents are likely to be around, so I think there is no need to be too invested."

"I am the governor to protect my family, relatives and friends, and to ensure that the people under my rule can live and work in peace and contentment. If I only focus on the power in my hands, how is that different from the people I once hated?" Zhao Hanzhang paused and couldn't help but advise again. He said: "General, you are just and incorruptible. In the early years, the people praised you as a beast. At that time, your ability to distinguish right from wrong and your impartial and decisive character was praised by my grandfather. I think you must be able to distinguish priorities."

"For us, the biggest enemies are Liu Yuan and Shi Le. The enemy of our enemy is our friend. From my point of view, if the Jin Dynasty wants to regain all its homeland, it must unite all the forces that can be united. Not to mention that Zu Ti is a noble family. My son has the demeanor of a distinguished scholar, but he is just an ordinary mountain bandit. As long as he can fight against Liu Yuan and Shi Le, I am willing to have friendly exchanges with him."

Gou Xi frowned in disapproval, "bandits and thieves are lawless and of low character. How can we cooperate?"

"As long as it is beneficial to the overall situation and beneficial to the people of Jin Dynasty, we can correct some mistakes, and we can also temporarily put them aside and only pursue common goals and interests."

Gou Xi: "No, I won't agree!"

He looked at Zhao Hanzhang displeased, "Did Governor Zhao sell the weapons to Zu Ti just because of this?"

Even knowing this, Zhao Hanzhang suppressed his heart that was beating rapidly, but he smiled and said nothing.

She didn't know how much he had mastered. If she was flustered, just smile first and don't talk.
