Early the next morning, Gou Xi entered the palace to request the emperor immediately issue an edict appointing Wang Jun as the Governor of Jizhou.
The emperor hesitated, now that Zhao Hanzhang was near Pingyang County, which meant she was only a step away from recapturing the entire Si Province.
With Si Province recaptured, she would invite him back to Luoyang. Issuing an edict now appointing Wang Jun, whom she did not support, might cause complications. It would be better to maintain the status quo or appoint Liu Kun, whom she supported.
The thought flashed quickly in his mind, and the emperor refused Gou Xi, "Did not the Great General himself also waver previously? Why suddenly choose Wang Jun now?"
Gou Xi did not believe the emperor did not know why Zhao Hanzhang was almost about to take over the entire Central Plains, and Liu Kun was evidently collaborating with Zhao Hanzhang. If he still supported Liu Kun, where else could he stand in the future?
