eLi Chen squinted his eyes and talked eloquently. Yerugu Zanzi, who was very cooperative, was silent for a moment.looking at Yerugu Zanzi, he really didn't know that Zhao Xuanji had a connection with...Chapter 287 Chen Tong in the face of disaster

in any case, Chen Tong's statement satisfied Li Chen.

"yesterday I heard from Sanbao that you went to Xishan province to protect Zhao Heshan"

Chen Tong hurriedly replied, "Yes, I just returned to the capital this morning."

"the situation in Xishan Province is much more complicated than we thought. It can be said that the local government has basically lost its role. Those who are officials are used by local powerful and powerful people."

"and officials and Haoqiang have formed a great force, feeding their families, whose weapons and equipment are not weaker than those of the imperial army."

"the high-handed policy adopted by Lord Zhao after he arrived in Xishan Province has aroused a series of repercussions from the local gentry and officials."

"at first, the gentry and officials were patient and tried to get Lord Zhao to collude with them by paying bribes, but after refusing all the inducements, Lord Zhao killed several more officials who came to bribe, and then the local gentry and officials began to gang up against Lord Zhao."

Chen Tong is obviously prepared for this trip. He has done his homework and made a report in an orderly manner.

"at first, they just obeyed all the orders of Lord Zhao and did not listen to them."

"but Lord Zhao does have some tricks, and by supporting some officials from poor backgrounds and who have been suppressed for a long time, he has gathered a group of people."

"with the support of his Royal Highness, Lord Zhao barely has a foothold in Xishan Province, and some of the decrees issued can be carried out."

"but in this way, some of the measures promulgated by Lord Zhao, such as resting the land to support the people, robbing the rich and providing disaster relief, and forcibly forcing the local tycoons to release their fields and granaries to save the people, have completely touched the interests of the local powerful clique, and they began to assassinate Lord Zhao."

"in the worst case, three waves of killers tried to kill Lord Zhao in just one day, and Lord Zhao was lucky. Coupled with the protection of Jin Yiwei, it was no big deal."

at this point, Chen Tonggong said earnestly, "your Highness, I think that if it goes on like this, there will be no more than two consequences for Xishan Province."

"Let's hear it."

Li Chen said calmly and calmly.

he did not comment on whether Zhao Heshan's measures were good or bad, nor was he infuriated by the boldness of the local powerful group.

it can be said that Li Chen, who knows more about history than the power of the feudal gentry and tuhao clique, is not at all surprised by all this.

it's not surprising that even they do something bolder.

Chen Tong solemnly said: "either Xishan Province was completely persecuted, and the local gentry and tuhao clique colluded with the rebels to kill Lord Zhao, which represented a formal confrontation with the imperial court."

"either more powerful figures appear, forcing them to compromise and stay out of the river with the well water of the imperial court, but the imperial court should guarantee their vested interests and promise not to settle accounts later."

Li Chen laughed when he heard this.

he looked at Chen Tong thoughtfully and said, "Chen Tong, you have made a trip to Xishan province, and you have gained a lot."

Chen Tong changed his face and said hurriedly, "your Highness, I don't understand your humble position."

"did you want to say that, or did someone ask you to say it" Li Chen's tone gradually faded away.

Chen Tong bowed his head at the moment. Although he did not go to see Li Chen, he could clearly feel that the dignity of Li Chen was getting stronger and stronger.

the air around him slowly solidifies, making it difficult for Chen Tong to breathe as if it were frozen.
