Chapter 510 Major Events
"Supreme Khan, what's going on?"
Li Cunxi saw Li Jinzhong's embarrassment and asked.
"Lord Li, I am a guilty person. I attacked Chongzhou and killed so many people. Why doesn't the emperor kill me?"
Li Jinzhong felt uneasy. Based on his understanding of Wu Zetian, he had done all this. If Wu Zetian didn't kill him, she would not be Wu Zetian.
Seeing this, Li Cunxi just waved his hand.
"I have already made it clear in the court that His Majesty has pardoned your crimes. From now on, you will act as the governor of Guicheng Prefecture."
Li Jinzhong finally let go of his worry. He stood up solemnly, bowed to Li Cunxi, and lowered his head to thank Li Cunxi.
How dare Li Cunxi accept such a great gift? The last person who received such a great gift was Zhao Wenhui, the governor of Yingzhou. After receiving it a few times, he treated the man like a dog and ended up losing his life.
He stood up and helped Li Jinzhong up, then said some polite words, and then the two of them sat down again.
It was mid-afternoon when Li Jinzhong instructed his men to prepare a grand banquet to entertain Li Cunxi and others.
Li Cunxi then slowly stood up and said, "Khan, wait a moment. I have another request."
"What does Lord Li mean?"
"I have known the Khitan Marshal Sun for a long time, and we can be considered half-confidants. Please allow me to go and visit Marshal Sun first, Khan."
Li Jinzhong was in a sad mood and made a gesture of inviting.
On Li Cunxi's side, Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang, Wu Yanhao, Lu Dayou, Mo Ling and Yingzi all stood up and followed Li Cunxi out.
After climbing over a hill and following the direction pointed by Li Jinzhong, everyone finally saw Sun Wanrong's tomb.
This Khitan marshal, who was so powerful during his lifetime, was left with only a small tomb after his death.
Because the people in Khitan were poor and weak, and there was a war going on at the same time, even Sun Wanrong's funeral was not held.
"It has only been a few months since we last met in Chongzhou, but the Marshal has already returned to the Eternal Heaven. We are separated from him forever and will never see him again."
Li Cunxi sighed for a long time, and his eyes could not move away from Sun Wanrong's grave.
"Wan Rong passed away a month ago when we were still confronting the Turks." Li Jinzhong seemed to be recalling his old friend, with tears streaming down his face.
As the old saying goes, a general is bound to die on the battlefield.
However, when an old friend who has lived and died together dies on the battlefield, how many people can withstand the pressure?
Li Cunxi stared at the tombstone, not knowing what to feel.
"Now that the Khitans have returned to the Great Zhou, the Marshal's spirit in heaven should be comforted."
"Supreme Khan, you should lead the Khitan people to recuperate in the future and refrain from engaging in military operations."
Li Jinzhong bowed his hands, tilted his head, and looked ashamed.
"I would never dare to do that. Please rest assured, Lord Li."
Li Cunxi turned around and shook his head at Li Jinzhong.
"No, no, no, you are wrong."
"What I mean is, if the border guard or the governor of Yingzhou Guard bullies you again in the future, please be patient for a while and send someone to Da Zhou to find me."
"If you submit to the Great Zhou, you will be my people. I will make the decision for you no matter what."
"Besides, the new governor of Yingzhou Guard is kind and easy-going, so this kind of thing shouldn't happen. I'm saying this so that you can have other ways to deal with it in the future."
"Marshal Sun's heart is with the Great Zhou, but he has to go to war with the Great Zhou. This is really a blessing in disguise. We should do our best to avoid this kind of thing from happening in the future."
Li Jinzhong burst into tears and bowed all the way to the bottom.
"Li Jinzhong, remember your teachings!"
"From now on, all Khitan people will never dare to rebel again!"
Li Cunxi reluctantly helped Li Jinzhong up, and couldn't help but think of Zhao Wenhui.
The most unnecessary wars during the Wu Zhou period were the Yingzhou Rebellion between the Khitan and the Great Zhou, and the Battle of Dongxie Shigu.
Unfortunately, as a border guard, Zhao Wenhui not only did not attach importance to peace between the two sides, but instead ordered Li Jinzhong, the king of a country, around and treated him like a wild dog.
This led to the Yingzhou Rebellion and the subsequent Battle of Dongxie Shigu.
In these two wars, the Great Zhou paid countless manpower and material resources to put out the flames of war brought by the Khitan.
"Patriarch Li, as long as you remain faithful, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can send someone to the Great Zhou to ask me for help."
"I just hope there will never be another war."
Li Cunxi sighed slowly.
"In a few days, it will be May again."
The Chongzhou case began in October last year and lasted for more than half a year, and it is finally coming to an end.
And his sixteenth birthday will be the day after tomorrow.
……
The wind is high and the sun is shining.
On the Khitan plains, supplies from Chongzhou and Yingzhou were delivered to the hands of Khitan officials.
Li Cunxi asked Lu Dayou to personally check the list with the officials and confirm that no one was involved in corruption. Only then did he feel relieved and left with his small team.
It would take some time to return to Chongzhou from Khitan, but he was already impatient to return to Da Zhou and report to the emperor.
We rode lightly all the way down and finally returned to Chongzhou. We had dinner with Wulezhi and his mother, and the night life had just begun.
Messengers from Huzhou County and Yangzhou City requested a meeting after learning that Li Cunxi had returned.
Li Cunxi, who was sitting in the main hall, took the letters handed over by the two and first opened the letter from Pei Rongxian of Huzhou.
In the letter, Pei Rong first stated that all the treasures of the King of Yue had been unearthed, and the last treasure hidden in Cuiping Mountain was already in the process of being moved. In a month at most, this last treasure would be in their hands.
After reading the letter, Li Cunxi stood up slowly, took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and carefully wrote a letter back to Pei Rongxian. He then handed it to the messenger from Huzhou and delivered it to him.
"Take it back to Huzhou and give it to Xianxian. Tell him to do as I say. The complete appearance of the Yue King's treasure must not be leaked to anyone who knows about it, otherwise it will bring us disaster."
"Understood, Master of the Family."
"Well, give some silver to each of the brothers who participated in the excavation. I'll consider the specific amount first."
"Yes."
The messenger broke away and returned in the moonlight.
The other messenger came from Yangzhou City and was sent by Tao Gan.
He then stood aside, waiting for Luo Qi to finish reading the crucial letter he brought back.
The reason why this letter should be read last is naturally because its importance far exceeds Wang Baozang.
The reason why the treasure left by the King of Yue attracted countless people to die for it was naturally because of the huge wealth.
However, the destruction of the Yangzhou Iron Hand Group is far more important to Li Cunxi than wealth.
Li Cunxi opened the wax seal and took out the letter inside.
After reading it, he put the letter on the oil lamp and lit it. When it was half burned, he threw it in the yard and let it burn to ashes.
"Is the Iron Hand Group going to start robbing the salt transport ship?"
"Then we can't let them live too comfortably."
Li Cunxi turned around and wrote letters to Tao Gan, Long Feng and Chen Yiqu.
