The underworld signed in for a thousand years, reincarnated as an angry and crying empress

In any case, Chen Tong’s statement still satisfied Li Chen.

“Yesterday, I heard Sanbao say that you went to Xishan Province to protect Zhao Heshan?”

Chen Tong hurriedly replied, “Yes, I just returned to the capital in the morning.

“On the Xishan Province, the situation is much more complicated than we thought, and the local government can be said to have basically lost its role, for the officials, for the local tyrants, for the people.”

“And the officials and the powerful have formed a large force, raising the family, and the weapons and equipment of the family are actually not weaker than the army of the imperial court.”

“Lord Zhao’s high-pressure policy since he arrived in Xishan Province has caused a series of backlashes from local squires and officials.”

“At first, those squires and officials were still patient, trying to make Lord Zhao join them by offering bribes, but after Lord Zhao refused all the temptations, he killed several officials who came to bribe, and then the local squires and officials began to gang up against Lord Zhao.”

Chen Tong’s trip was obviously prepared, he did his homework, and the report was carried out in an orderly manner.

“In the beginning, they just disobeyed all the decrees of Lord Zhao, and did not listen to the announcement.”

“But Lord Zhao does have some means, and by supporting some officials from poor backgrounds and who have been suppressed, he has also gathered a group of people.”

“With the support of His Highness, Lord Zhao barely has a foothold in Xishan Province, and some of the decrees issued can be implemented.”

“However, some measures promulgated by Lord Zhao, such as resting the fields to raise 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 groups, and they began to assassinate Lord Zhao continuously.”

“At the most serious time, in just one day, there were three waves of killers who wanted to kill Lord Zhao, and Lord Zhao was also considered a great fate, plus the protection of Jin Yiwei, it was not a big deal.”

Speaking of this, Chen Tong arched his hand and said seriously: “Your Highness, I think that if this continues, the Xishan Province will have nothing more than two ends. ”

Let’s hear it.”

Li Chen said indifferently.

He did not evaluate whether Zhao Heshan’s series of measures were good or bad, nor was he angry because of the audacity of the local powerful group.

It can be said that Li Chen, who knows history and knows the power of the squire and tyrant group in the feudal era, is not surprised by all this.

Even if they do something bolder, it’s not surprising.

Chen Tong said solemnly: “Either the Xishan Province was completely forced to rebel, and the local squire group colluded with the rebels to kill Lord Zhao, representing a formal confrontation with the imperial court.”

“Either there are more powerful figures who force them to compromise and not violate the river water with the imperial court, but the imperial court must guarantee their existing interests and promise not to settle accounts later.”

Li Chen laughed when he heard this.

He looked at Chen Tong playfully and said, “Chen Tong, this commander of yours went to the Xishan Province, and the harvest was not small.”

Chen Tong’s face changed, and he hurriedly said, “Your Highness, I don’t understand my humble position.”

“Did you say this yourself, or did someone ask you to say it?” Li Chen’s tone gradually faded.

Chen Tong lowered his head at the moment, although he did not look at Li Chen, he could clearly feel that above his head, the majesty from Li Chen was getting stronger and stronger.

The surrounding air slowly solidified, as if it was frozen, making it difficult for Chen Tong to breathe.

On this cold day, cold sweat was visibly oozing from his forehead.
