Qingguo
Manchao Wenwu looked astonished.
Since the first year of Tiansheng, no one in the Song Dynasty can afford the word Qingguo.
Because the word'qing' was Zhao Zhen's original title.
Zhao Zhen was conferred nobility first, and he was named Duke Qing, followed by the king of Shouchun County, then he was promoted, and finally he was named the crown prince.
Zhao Zhen is now in the ninth five, and the titles he used cannot be used by courtiers.
But now Zhao Zhen gave Kou Ji the word for celebration in an unprecedented way.
More importantly, if the land of Han is closed, it will be completely separated from the Song Dynasty. From now on, Han land will be a vassal of the Song Dynasty, not a Zhenfan.
Korea can establish a capital and a dynasty, and implement the dynasty system.
In the future, the diplomatic relations between Dasong and Korea will become more formal than before.
As for everything in Han Di, Kou had the final say.
The Manchu civil and military wanted to block, but considering that after blocking, I am afraid that the end will be miserable, and finally he pinched his nose to admit it.
Of course, Zhao Zhen at this moment would not care about the meaning of Manchu civil and military affairs.
After Zhao Zhen was granted Kou Ji, he continued: "Diqing was named the king of Beihai County, and the Wei family was 300 miles away, and he was the fief of Di Qing... Kou Ji, the lord of the Qing Dynasty, and Di Qing, the king of Beihai County, Jin Zhaoxunchong Dege Pavilion; Su Xun, Bao Zheng, entered Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion..."
"Here!"
"Go back to the palace!"
When the sun was high in the sky, Zhao Zhen left the Xinsongmen city head and returned to the imperial palace with Manchu civil and military weapons.
The Manchu civil and military felt that Zhao Zhen had changed.
Become domineering, ruthless, arrogant, unreasonable, no more kindness in his heart.
After Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, the edicts enshrining Kou Ji, Di Qing and others were sent out of the palace.
The person who sent the edict did not chase Kou Ji, Di Qing and others, but went all the way to Liaodi.
The schedule of Kou Ji and others was very slow, almost moving.
It took a full night from leaving the bear park to leaving the boundary of Bianjing City.
The group was not in a hurry, so after leaving the boundary of Bianjing City, they stopped.
Kou Ji, Di Qing, Liu Heng and others took their wives and children to tour some of the scenic spots and the elegant scenery outside Bianjing.
Only two days later did he set off to continue the journey.
All the people all the way up the mountain, play, stop and go, eat, drink, and have fun.
When I met Yunyu, I went to live in the post on the side of the road to find some local snacks to eat and drink.
Just like this, they walked around for more than ten days, but they had walked for two months.
Two months later, everyone arrived in Baozhou.
The team in the same industry is ten times larger.
Those who stayed in Bianjing to sell their businesses and recruit people, as well as the housekeepers and stewards of various houses, brought a large group of teams to catch up with Kou Ji and his party.
The number of people exceeded 30,000 in one go.
Haohao's **** is like marching.
The crowd stayed in Baozhou for three days.
Di Qing went to pick up his brother and his parents together, preparing to rush to Handi.
Kou Ji went to the Sangong Temple in Baozhou and met the old army chief.
The head of the old army almost helped Kou Ji support the guard.
After being unable to run, he stayed in Baozhou Shoumiao.
One Shou is more than ten years.
Almost all the people who knew the old army chief went to Handi, only the old army chief refused to go.
Swear to guard San Gong Temple to death.
The San Gong Temple enshrines the statues of Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Chen Lin.
The three of them used to be kind to the people of Baozhou, so the people of Baozhou sent them to the temple.
Kou Ji personally invited the old army chief to Handi, but was refused by the old army chief.
Kou Ji was not good at forcibly taking him away, and finally left with regret.
The group set off again.
Soon he entered the Youzhou area.
Looking around, everything about Youzhou made Kou Ji and others rush to both familiar and unfamiliar.
What is familiar is that everything in Youzhou is no different from everything in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.
What is strange is that the old Youzhou, where they were allowed to lead the army, has long since disappeared.
The sixteen states of Yanyun experienced catastrophe after catastrophe, and finally Nirvana was reborn.
In the old days of Youzhou where the swordsmen galloped, there were no signs of soldiers and horses. Looking around, there were busy working people everywhere.
Caravans lined up on the newly built official road.
Some rushed to the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty with fur and other specialties of Liaodong, and some rushed to Liaodong with exquisite porcelain and silk satin.
Kou Ji tried not to disturb the place along the way.
But when he passed Youzhou City, he was still stopped by the people.
The people offered their hearts, led their descendants, silently knocked Kou Ji a head, and left.
Everyone knew why they kowtow to Kou Ji.
In the past, Kou Ji entered Youzhou and put aside his words.
He said that one day he would let the Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture return to the Great Song Dynasty, and that he would let the people of the Yanyun Sixteen Prefecture live a good life.
This remark was once considered a big talk.
It has even been sung into dozens of different versions.
But in the end, Kou Ji fulfilled his promise.
The common people did not move those flying dogs in the hall.
They only know that since Kou Ji has left the court, no one in the government will send off, that is, the government can't accommodate Kou Ji.
The government can't tolerate Kou Ji, they tolerate it.
The government chilled Kou Ji's heart, and they were warm.
It is precisely because of this.
The person who bowed to Kou Ji never stopped from Youzhou City all the way to Gubeikou.
Regardless of whether it is Su Xun, Bao Zheng, Di Qing, Liu Heng, or officials in Youzhou and other places, they all feel that this is a real man.
When Kou Ji and his party arrived at Gubeikou, there were fewer people bowing their heads.
But there are more people giving gifts.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army at Gubeikou almost cleared the mountains and forests near Gubeikou and gave Kou Ji a lot of precious furs and other things.
Gubeikou Guardian Wang Kai even led him to greet him for thirty miles.
He gave away another thirty miles.
If it weren't for Kou Ji's refusal to rest in Guancheng, Wang Kai would also plan to stay in Kou Ji for a few more days.
Out of Gubeikou, there are endless jungles and fertile fields.
With a limit of 1,000 mu, 500 acres of trees and 500 acres of fertile land have almost become the standard for all land except Gubeikou.
The land outside Gubeikou is like being turned into squares by a knife.
Every square is a farm.
The number of dealers is small, with one master and ten slaves.
The master's house is like a rich man.
Although Congjia didn't dress well, they were full of energy, and they obviously didn't worry about eating and drinking.
Occasionally there are horses, cows, and sheep running in the hills and mountains.
The hills and forests have not been cultivated, so they have become a paradise for herders.
Although there is no pleasure in riding a horse for thousands of miles, watching the cattle and sheep gain weight a little, the smile on the herder's face is very strong.
Kou Ji's favorite is the children who are chasing me on the avenue with a book bag.
Some children are still sitting on bullock carts and donkey carts and slowly moving forward.
Most of the people who are pulling are offenses.
But the children in the car can't tell whether they are the children of the people or the children of crime.
They got together in three or five, holding books, looking around, very interesting.
"Zhang Gonggong is covering the whole world..."
When Kou Ji entered Bohai Mansion, he sighed faintly.
Zhang Zhibai's contribution to the peaceful coexistence of the people and criminals in Liaodi.
The Liaodi has been raging from the wars of the past, the scene where you vie for me. The prosperous scene of male farming and female weaving is due to Zhang Zhibai’s many years of management of the Liao region.
Into Bohai Mansion.
Kou Ji and others are a little sad.
Only Liu Heng laughed heartlessly.
The reason was that Liu Heng didn't plan to follow Kou Ji to Handi. He planned to go to Xiyang to help his son Liu Boxu run Xiyang, and give him some advice.
Kou Ji did not selfishly tie Liu Heng around.
Because of brotherhood, Liu Heng left his son and stayed with him in Bianjing for many years.
Now it's time to be reunited with his son.
On the wharf of Bohai Mansion.
Two big ships, different from the other ships, docked on the shore.
The big ship is not only made of wood, but also has many iron sheets and iron horns on it.
More importantly, it is equipped with some weapons such as bed crossbows and heavy crossbows.
The sailors on the ship are more like pawns.
It is said that a ship can hold more than 1,300 people and can plant a lot of cargo.
In Kou Ji's eyes, these two ships could be regarded as the largest ships he had ever seen in ancient times.
Kou Ji vaguely remembered that when Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty sailed to the west, he used a sea-going ship, the largest one could carry a thousand people and a lot of cargo.
In other words, the two ships docked at Bohai Mansion’s wharf may have surpassed the large ships Zheng He used for his voyages.
Kou Ji felt that this was probably the limit of the wooden boat.
Without specific reference materials, Kou Ji can only judge according to his own guesses.
Kou Ji ordered the people to load the goods he prepared for Liu Heng on the ship. Seeing that the people Liu Heng recruited slowly got on the two big ships, and some people boarded the small boats around the two big ships.
Finally, he watched Liu Heng step onto the boat's ladder.
Standing on the ladder, Liu Heng yelled at Kou Ji with some redness in his eyes, "Fourth brother, when I help that stinky boy from Bo Xu take care of Xiyang, I will go to Handi to find you."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded, and watched Liu Heng board the ship.
Seeing Liu Heng go away slowly in the big boat, he smiled and said to the three of Su Xun, Bao Zheng and Di Qing beside him: "Do you know why I am not sad?"
Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing were taken aback and shook their heads slowly.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "I bet he will show up at the wharf in Handi in a boat today next year."
Di Qing was a little at a loss.
Su Xun and Bao Zheng also frowned.
After the three talents couldn't guess, Bao Zheng asked, "Why?"
Kou Ji laughed and said, "Today's Xiyang is not yesterday's Xiyang. He said he returned to Xiyang to help Liu Boxu govern the fief? When he returns to Xiyang, he will find that he can help Liu Boxu to rectify a little bit. Apart from Xiyang's soldiers and horses, nothing else could be done.
He helped Liu Boxu manage Xiyang
Liu Boxu taught him how to govern Xiyang. "
The three Bao Zheng smiled upon hearing the words.
If you think about it, Kou Ji is right.
From his official career to the present, Liu Heng has almost never governed a place.
He was either a spy in the Imperial City Division, or training soldiers on the border, or he was like a bandit, occupying the country as a slave owner.
Today, Xiyang is the land of Liu's family, requiring officials and management.
Liu Heng doesn't understand.
And Liu Boxu has been honed in Xiyang for many years, and under the guidance of many capable people and strangers, he has already become a qualified king of herdsmen.
He knows how to manage localities far better than Liu Heng.
So when Liu Heng arrived in Xiyang, what he faced was not the scene of educating his son, but the scene of being educated by his son.
Because of Liu Heng's disposition, he didn't want to be educated by his son.
So he will not stay in Xiyang long.
Kou Ji sent off Liu Heng and left Bohai Mansion with others.
Bohai Mansion was more prosperous than when Su Xun left, and now it has become a jewel in the Liao region.
Although it is not as prosperous as Jiangning Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture, it is not as prosperous as other provinces.
Bohai Mansion has all the food that can be eaten in Bianjing City, and Bohai Mansion basically has the things that can be seen in Bianjing City.
There are even many precious seafood that you can't see in Bianjing.
But in Bohai Mansion, there are too many.
Kou Ji did not stay long.
Although Liangyuan is good, it is not a place for long stay.
Leaving Bohai Mansion is the boundary of Linheng Mansion.
Zhang Zhibai, the largest official in Liao, was seated in Linheng Mansion.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the boundary of Linheng Mansion, he saw Zhang Zhibai with a pale beard and a much older man.
Kou Ji almost jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly to Zhang Zhibai.
Zhang Zhibai is much older.
The waist is bent, and the legs seem to have no strength. Walking requires the assistance of crutches.
The body looked very thin and weak, as if it could be blown down by a gust of wind.
But it was such a thin and weak old man who forcibly managed a Liao area that had been poisoned by the war into a thriving Da Song granary.
He needs to pay more than Cai Qi, Lu Yijian, Li Di, and Wang Sui.
He not only had to manage thousands of miles of huge territory, but also had to reconcile the contradictions between the two ethnic groups of Han and Liao, and suppress the crimes of more than 10 million people.
The effort expended is not comparable to Cai Qi and others.
"Duke Zhang, how can the kid He De, let you greet him personally?"
Kou Ji rushed to Zhang Zhibai, helped Zhang Zhibai, and said with a wry smile.
Zhang Zhibai showed a smile to Kou Ji, jokingly said: "You Kou's pure saint, the old man, a common man, when he sees the saint, he naturally wants to welcome him personally."
Kou Ji helped Zhang Zhibai to sit down and said dumbfounded: "My Kou family is just my grandfather, a saint. Where do you start with a saint?"
After sitting down, Zhang Zhibai held the crutches in both hands and said with a smile: "When your grandfather was in power, the old man was a grass beside him.
When he was so powerful, the old man beat him at most when he was pointing to the country.
In the end, your grandfather made a hundred years of deeds, succeeded in retreat, and canonized in one fell swoop.
You little tiger is more powerful than your grandfather.
Not only did I get rid of all the bad policies of the Song Dynasty, but also helped me to lay a huge territory for the Song Dynasty.
Your grandfather looks like a tiger, surrounded by floating grass.
You are so powerful, all around you are dust.
Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo, etc., which one is not a pearl
But by your side, you can only serve as dust.
You have made great achievements for my great Song, and now you have succeeded in retreating, and you should be canonized in one fell swoop. "
Kou Ji heard Zhang Zhibai’s words and did not say anything humble. Instead, he looked at Zhang Zhibai suspiciously and asked: "You have always disliked flattery, but now you have reached the age when you can act recklessly, and you actually violated it. Flattering me with conscience, did you do anything to apologize to me?"
Zhang Zhibai instantly stared, and shouted proudly, "Is that kind of old man?"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and stared at Zhang Zhibai.
Zhang Zhibai yelled, "Even if the old man does something I am sorry for you, what can you do with the old man?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are not a shameless person."
Zhang Zhibai mumbled dissatisfiedly: "The old man has been behaving all his life, and now he has reached the age when he can't be punished as Poppi. Wouldn't it be a waste of work if he didn't do a few things that Poppi did?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "You are always right. You can do whatever you want. Even if you do something I'm sorry for, I can only forgive you."
When Zhang Zhibai heard this, he nodded in satisfaction, "It's almost..."
After saying this, Zhang Zhibai took out a roll of imperial decree from his cuff and handed it to Kou Ji.
"The decree the official gave you was sent to the old man for fear of resisting the decree, and the old man took it for you."
Kou Ji looked at the imperial edict in Zhang Zhibai's hand and sighed, but made no move.
Zhang Zhibai's face became cold, and he asked, "Why, don't you plan to give the old man this face?"
Kou Ji sighed again, "Forget it, I still have to give your old face. I will keep the imperial decree."
With that said, Kou Ji took the imperial decree and prepared to hand it to the entourage behind him.
Zhang Zhibai hurriedly said, "Don't open it for a look?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "What can I see?"
Zhang Zhibai urged: "It's better to take a look."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, retracted his hand, unfolded the imperial decree, glanced at it, and was slightly taken aback.
When Kou Ji was shocked, Zhang Zhibai asked in a low voice: "How?"
Kou Ji put together the imperial edict in his hand and handed it to the entourage behind him, then smiled and asked, "How can it be?"
Zhang Zhibai asked: "Don't you think that the official family is making a fool of yourself? The official family has set this precedent, and future generations have followed suit. Then the Song Dynasty hasn't returned to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period overnight?"
Kou Ji said amused: "I'm not an emperor, and I can't do things at an instructor's house. Jiangshan is not mine either. It doesn't matter if I look back at the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, or the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Zhibai frowned and said, "Are you not afraid that the Song Dynasty that you have been operating for many years will be destroyed?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "Lord of future generations, we can't do it. If there is an unscrupulous descendant and ignore our customized rules and etiquette, we will not help even if we leave behind good things.
So you just think too much. "
Zhang Zhibai was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "That's right... The world is like this. Whether the Song Dynasty can continue to prosper, we don't count."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhang Zhibai hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You should know in your heart that the official doesn't believe you. It's just that you are in that position and you can't help it.
The officials have great strategies in their hearts, and they have no choice but to take advantage of you.
There are some things that officials cannot tell you now.
The old man did not dare to leak the wind.
But when the truth comes to light in the future, you will all understand.
You monarchs and ministers have walked hand in hand for many years, and together innovated the bad governance of the Song Dynasty. Together, they laid a huge territory for our Song Dynasty and created this prosperous age together.
Never quarrel, nor fight.
There is no ruler and ministers turning back, and swordsmen meet each other.
The grace that you have in Koji now will never be reproduced in the past and present.
It is rare to have an emperor with such a big mind.
You, an amazing pair of monarchs and ministers, are also destined to be worshipped by thousands of people.
Your brothers have been worthy of each other for many years and have a deep and righteous love.
There is no need to make old times and stay away from each other.
It shouldn't be cut off. "
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Zhibai with a smile: "You said and laughed. Anything that doesn't get along with each other and cuts off justice will not happen to me.
I Kou Ji lives up to anyone in the world.
I just worked out half my life, tired.
For example, it is nearly 40 years old this year, it can already claim to be old.
It's time to retreat. "
Zhang Zhibai sighed, and said, "You speak magnificently, but the old man can still hear it. You have resentment in your heart."
Kou Ji said frankly: "I have no complaints to officials, nor to people in the world. I only complain about power. Power has lost people's minds, and the world has lost trust and sentiment.
I now want to put aside my power, take a good look, and think about how to retain trust and affection while having power. "
Zhang Zhibai sighed: "Are you blame the Manchu civil and military for not believing you?"
Kou Ji had no words.
Zhang Zhibai said with emotion: "That's right. In the past, all of you were your guests. In front of you, they called themselves disciples and old-fashioned people. All of them regard you as your father.
When the real test comes, only two or three children can sit next to you.
This really hurts people.
The old man did the same when he sponsored rural students.
When the old man supports them, the old man is everything to them, and they respect the old man more than their father.
But after entering the official position, when he discovered that the old man didn't help them get promoted, all of them showed ugly faces.
There are people who take refuge in others, some who have separated from the old man, and some who pretend not to know the old man, and more often avoid him.
But what saddened the old man the most was that when Wang Qinruo insulted the old man by the treacherous man, it was actually one of them who impeached the old man.
The old man was in the same mood as you.
My heart is ashamed, and I keep questioning myself, is it wrong to do good
Until the end, the old man wanted to understand.
The old man accumulates virtue and does good, and he wants to be ashamed of his heart. It is not to seek fame, nor is it to seek rewards, nor is it to train them to become partisans of the old man and obey the old man.
Don't take evil for small things, and don't take good things for nothing.
If the old man accumulates virtue and does good, he can be worthy of his own conscience.
As for the beneficiaries, whether it is good or evil, it is the fault of their husband and parents, and has nothing to do with the old man. "
Kou Ji questioned: "The beneficiary not only doesn't repay the gratitude, but instead repays the gratitude. What do you say?"
Zhang Zhibai stared at Kou Ji and said, "Just treat him as if he hadn't received the kindness of the old man."
Kou Ji nodded, and asked again, "What if it's a kindness?"
Zhang Zhibai was taken aback and muttered: "Sheng Mien, Dou Miqiu... It's not fair to kindhearted people..."
Kou Ji nodded in agreement: "So it is better to show kindness than Shiwei."
Zhang Zhibai stared at Kou Ji in amazement, "Is this the truth you realized?"
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up. The person who has been giving you sweets, you may soon forget him. But the person who breaks your legs with a stick, you can remember him for a lifetime."
Zhang Zhibai's brow furrowed into a word for Sichuan.
