After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

It takes a long time for their people to come over, but not for the news.

Xiao Zhong sent people to pay attention to them and wanted to see how they would pass the news back, but he didn't know what kind of methods Master Liu and the others used to prevent them from finding any loopholes.

Soon after, news came back from Emperor Xi Chu that he had agreed to Xiao Yin's request, but only one thing: Li Shouyuan must die.

Emperor Xichu actually made this decision with great determination, but the reasons Xiao Zhong used to convince Lord Liu at that time also convinced him.

During the discussion at that time, although Mr. Liu did not say it, who was Xiao Zhong?

He directly pointed out the fact that the Western Chu Emperor's treasury was now empty, so he had no way to support war expenditures.

The second Master Liu was afraid of him, he proposed a solution - very simple, kill Li Shouyuan.

Moreover, although their cooperation this time is a cooperation between Emperor Xichu and Xiao Yin, in a sense, it can also be regarded as a cooperation and alliance between the two countries.

What is the purpose of alliance?

In Emperor Xi Chu's case, it was to get rid of a rebellious minister; in Xiao Yin's case, it was to fight against Feng Lan.

Externally, Xiao Yin's purpose was enough.

This is the best and fastest reason to achieve Emperor Xi Chu’s idea.

With the alliance between the two countries, they both sent troops to deal with Feng Lan. Xiao Yin was on Tianqi's side, and Li Shouyuan, a "natural general" on Xichu's side, was perfect.

Let him lead the troops. The treasury is empty and the army cannot be paid. What does it have to do with the Emperor of Western Chu?

He had no military power and could not control Li Shouyuan's soldiers.

If something goes wrong, doesn't Li Shouyuan, as the commander-in-chief, have no responsibility?

Moreover, Emperor Xi Chu needed a reason to transfer Li Shouyuan out.

When Li Shouyuan went out to fight, he took the opportunity to get rid of Li Shouyuan's power in Kyoto.

He himself is not in Kyoto, and he is beyond his control what happens. Will those who stay in Kyoto be allowed to be crushed by him?

In this way, we can not only remove his influence, but also search for his belongings...

You must know that he has been jealous of Li Shouyuan's property for a long time.

He knew from the beginning that this person would make money. From the beginning, this person could be robbed for money without caring about his credit...for the sake of money, he could drag Jing Zhaoyin, who promoted him, down...

Li Shouyuan did not know how much money he made by taking advantage of such incidents. The speed at which he made money was astonishing.

Some people even paid special attention to it and joked that the bandits in the past could not steal money as fast as "General Li" collected it.

After he ascended the throne, Li Shouyuan took over the power and became more unscrupulous. He raided the homes of many corrupt officials. Emperor Xi Chu had no objection to this. After all, he himself could not stand those corrupt officials.

but! Although some of the belongings of those whose homes were confiscated were sent to the treasury, most of them were still taken away by Li Shouyuan!

How could this make Emperor Xi Chu not angry?

You said that the person who confiscated the house can take part of it as "hard work pay". This kind of recognition is generally accepted and is tacitly approved by the superiors, but who would take the big part for themselves and send the small part back to the treasury?

Not to mention that the person who copied it was Emperor Xi Chu’s uncle’s family. Isn’t this just asking for death?

This is also the reason why Emperor Xi Chu made up his mind to kill Li Shouyuan.

At the same time, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, and even experienced generals have no way to guarantee that they will escape unscathed from the battlefield.

So, it is normal for a general who is famous but has little actual battlefield experience to accidentally die on the battlefield because he underestimated the enemy.

Of course, even if this "accident" didn't exist, they would have created it.

As soon as Li Shouyuan died, he would send his own people over to take over the military power, or he would take it over himself.

Anyway, in the end, the military power must be in his hands.

As a powerful minister with a large number of troops, Li Shouyuan is enough. He does not need a second one.

It was enough for him to learn this lesson once, and he would not give anyone the chance to repeat it again.

Mr. Liu got his majesty's approval, so he naturally agreed.

During the process of the two people discussing their strategies, Mr. Liu sighed in his heart countless times.

"How come this Mr. Xiao is not from His Majesty's command..."

Mr. Liu walked out of Xiao Zhong's study and finally couldn't help but sigh out his heart.

"Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Liu to speak highly of Xiao." Xiao Zhong happened to hear it.

"Haha..." Mr. Liu didn't expect that the words he couldn't hold back and blurted out were actually heard by the person involved.

But looking at Xiao Zhong in front of him, he could only exchange greetings while secretly cursing himself for being imprudent.

Even so, his mental activity still did not stop.

Mr. Xiao is amazing and talented. If I, Xi Chu, have such a character, how can I tolerate Nas being so presumptuous?

But if he really wanted to poach Xiao Zhong back, he still wouldn't dare.

Let's not talk about this person's position clearly on Xiao Yin's side. Let's just talk about this person's scheming. If his majesty can really use it, then everyone will be happy.

But if not...I'm afraid that if there is one less thief Li, there will be one more thief Xiao who is more difficult to deal with than thief Li.

After all, His Majesty's ability to control people... might not be as good as that of Mr. Xiao.

I have to say that although Mr. Liu is a bit useless, his understanding of Emperor Xi Chu is still very good.

If Xiao Zhong is really brought back like this, this guy won't have as many scruples as Xiao Yuan, and the trouble will only be worse than the current "Li Shouyuan".

Xiao Zhong didn't know that in just a short moment, his ability had been coveted by the person opposite him, and then he was feared and given up.

If he knew, he would probably laugh out loud.

He came out to see Master Liu off. Today's conversation was their last conversation before they announced their alliance. Tomorrow Master Liu will take his colleagues back to Xichu.

Therefore, Xiao Zhong came out to see him out today not only to show his importance to them, but also to see their reaction.

The etiquette is there, but he still shows it. There is no reason for the guests to leave, and the host does not come out to send them.

As long as Xiao Zhong doesn't do bad things, it's easy to win someone's favor simply by relying on his grasp of people's hearts. At least Mr. Liu is very happy at the moment.

If Xiao Zhong hadn't always been wary of what the adjutant said, he might have even sent an invitation to Xiao Zhong and asked him to follow them to Xichu.

After seeing Master Liu off, Xiao Zhong returned to his house. The people below had sorted out the recent affairs and written them out in cipher text. They would send them to Xiao Yuan as soon as Xiao Zhong nodded.

After all, their Lord "Li Shouyuan" is the person involved, and he must cooperate, otherwise how can it succeed?
