Ming Yu guessed correctly, Wang Jun indeed bribed Gou Xi, and he also wanted to rightfully become the Jizhou Governor.
The people selected by Zhao Hanzhang brought treasures to Yun City and first went to see Zhao Zhongyu quietly, handing him the letters addressed to him and the Emperor: "The envoy says that if General Gou has different opinions, please ask Minister Zhao to help arrange things. Regardless, Liu Kun must be made the Jizhou Governor."
Zhao Zhongyu opened the letter and carefully read it before nodding, "I understand."
He had his confidant lead them out through the back door, glancing at the letter and memorial for the Emperor on the desk, he still tucked them into his hand and proceeded to the palace.
Zhao Zhongyu first brought up the struggle between Liu Kun and Wang Jun, saying, "I heard that the Xiongnu Khanate also took this opportunity to send troops to Jinyang, seemingly intending to jointly attack Liu Kun with Wang Jun."
