"There are two people who need help from my uncle and let them go into official positions."
Kou Ji said with a smile.
Wang Shu nodded slowly and asked: "Who?"
Kou Ji reported two names, "Liu Heng, Cao Tong..."
Wang Shu was stunned, staring his eyes, "People from Liu Mansion and Cao Mansion? If they are willing to go into officialdom, it will be easy for them to intervene?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I want to transfer the two of them to the Criminal Division, one serving as the prison governor, and the other serving as an official patrol."
Wang Shu was taken aback, and said unexpectedly: "Are you going to grab the power of the Criminal Division?"
Kou Ji didn't hide it, and nodded seriously.
Wang Shu looked at Kou Ji up and down, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know where the Criminal Division is?"
Kou Ji nodded and said, "Naturally know..."
Wang Shu shook his head, "No! You don't know! The Criminal Division is in the officialdom, and there is another alias called Waitai. The court's outer stage, the inner court's outer stage. What is the outer stage? In the post-Han period, the provincial governor, the county The chief of the cadres, set aside to drive and rule, all Cao Yi belonged to, called Waitai.
You can think of it as a person, a county governor, or as a head, and as a member of the cadres, that is, limbs and body.
Now, the inner court is the head of this person, and the Criminal Division is the hands, feet and body of this person.
For such an important yamen, the inner court will never allow its authority to fall into your hands.
Even if your grandfather is willing to nod his head, Li Di and Ding Wei, as well as the Manchu civil and military will not agree.
If what I expected is not bad, within a few days, the inner court will send someone else to serve as the mentor for the provost.
Even if you insert people into the censorship yamen, they will be kicked out after the new officials take office in a few days. "
Kou Ji grinned and said, "I know what you said, but I still want to try it. Moreover, with the background of Liu Heng and Cao Tong, even if the new officials want to get rid of them after taking office, they have to be weighed. ."
Wang Shu sneered: "As far as I know, your new senior officer is not a good role to deal with."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said, "The inner court has been set?"
Wang Shu shook his head, "It hasn't been decided yet, but there are already two candidates."
"Who?"
"Xia Wei! Zhang Zhibai!"
Kou Ji was stunned when he heard the words, "It was actually the two of them..."
Wang Shu nodded.
Kou Ji wondered: "Zhang Zhibai's resume is not light. Let him serve as the mentor of the provost, that would be a demotion. Can he agree?"
Zhang Zhibai is a person who has served in political affairs.
People who have been in the inner court, he is in the court, and he is considered a person of weight.
Let him be appointed to a fourth-rank official position, what is it not to be demoted
Wang Shu glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Because of this, Li Di proposed to let Zhang Zhibai be a second-rank officer as a criminal prosecutor. Ding Wei refused to nod for non-compliance.
Your grandfather also felt that there was some irregularity, but there was no suitable candidate, so he was hesitant.
Then someone took the opportunity to launch Xia Wei.
Now your grandfather is weighing between Zhang Zhibai and Xia Wei. "
Kou Ji slowly nodded and said in deep thought: "Even if one of them is the mentor, I am not afraid. I still want to try, even if I can't get all the power of the mentor, I can get some. Not bad."
Wang Shu looked at Kou Ji in amazement and reminded: "Neither Zhang Zhibai nor Xia Wei can deal with it..."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "So I am going to raise and add another person."
"Who?"
"Fan Zhongyan!"
Wang Shu was taken aback, and said, "Fan Zhongyan...who is it?"
Kou Ji was also stunned. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Fan Zhongyan, formerly known as Zhu Shuo, the current Jiqing Army Promotion Officer..."
Wang Shu suddenly said, "If you want to say what Zhu said, I still have a little impression. You said Fan Zhongyan, I really don’t know who it is for a while. I have the impression of this person. He was a Jinshi of Dazhong Xiangfu in eight years. I am his marking officer and I have reviewed his papers.
I haven't found any difference between this person and ordinary people. Why do you value him so much
Have you seen it before? "
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I haven't seen..."
Wang Shu stunned: "Then where did you hear about him?"
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "I discovered Zhang Lun in the documents left by Zhang Lun. It is not me who really value him, but Zhang Lun."
In fact, Kou Ji never read the documents left by Zhang Lun.
The reason why he said this was to get Zhang Lun to help him endorse the book.
According to historical records, it was Zhang Lun who recommended Fan Zhongyan to the court and asked the court to reuse him.
More importantly, with Zhang Lun's endorsement, Wang Shu naturally would not go into the question of how Kou Ji knew about Fan Zhongyan.
It is impossible for him to go to Zhang Lun for questioning.
Wang Shu looked at Kou Ji up and down, clicked his mouth, and sighed: "Zhang Lun hates you for your bones. You dare to use the people he values?"
Kou Ji grinned and said: "He values it, but I am the one who really supports Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan will achieve something in the future. If he wants to report his support, I should also report it to me."
"You kid..."
Wang Shu pointed to Kou Ji dumbly.
Kou Ji smiled faintly.
Wang Shu pondered for a while and asked, "With Fan Zhongyan's words, what is your chance of winning against Shang Xia Wei or Zhang Zhibai?"
Kou Ji calculated for a moment, and hesitated: "I don't dare to talk about the odds, but it's enough to protect myself."
When Wang Shu heard the words, he nodded with satisfaction, "If you are a little self-aware, I am really afraid that you will say something that will win no doubt. Xia Wei and Zhang Zhibai, these two people are not Zhang Lun.
In terms of credit, the two of them did not lose to Zhang Lun for their credit to the court.
In terms of ability and dealing with people, the two of them are far better than Zhang Lun.
Especially Zhang Zhibai, so the old mansions are intricately intertwined, and you can't deal with them at all. "
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I know the depth..."
Although Kou Ji said so, he didn't agree with Wang Shu's statement in his heart.
In Kou Ji's mind, among the three of Zhang Lun, Zhang Zhibai, and Xia Wei, Xia Wei is the most difficult to deal with.
Zhang Lun has a righteous temperament.
Zhang Zhibai is like a gentleman.
But Xia Wei was completely different from them.
Xia Yu is also righteous and evil, loyalty and evil are difficult to distinguish, and no one can understand his temperament.
Such people are the most difficult to deal with.
If he serves as the provost officer, Kou Ji really has to be careful about one or two things.
Wang Shu didn’t know what Kou Ji was thinking. He nodded when he saw Kou Ji, and said, “Since you have an idea, then I won’t stop you. I will find a way to get them to imprisonment for the three people you mentioned. Division.
I also hope that you can gain a firm foothold in the Criminal Division and give your grandfather a big boost. "
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle for your perfection."
Wang Shu waved his hand and said: "Don't be so dismissive, my uncle, I should help you and help you."
Kou Ji laughed aloud when he heard the words.
Wang Shu also grinned.
Wang Kou happened to lead the maid to the main hall with wine and food at this time.
Kou Ji ate a little with Wang Shu.
During the banquet, instead of discussing business matters, they talked about some daily routines.
After late at night, Wang Kou arranged for Kou Ji to sleep in the wing of the mansion.
Wang Kou settled down in Kou Ji and returned to the main hall.
Wang Shu was tasting tea in the main hall, and was not in a hurry to rest. Seeing that Wang Kou had arrived, he smiled and asked, "What do you think, what about your nephew?"
