Kou Ji is unwilling to judge whether Wang Shu is hypocritical or not in front of Xiang Minzhong.
Xiang Minzhong is qualified to judge Wang Shu in the public, but he does not.
With the status of Xiang Minzhong, even if he spit in the palace, the eunuch in the palace would rush forward and ask him if he was spitting up, if he wanted another spit.
This is the advantage of age and seniority.
Kou Ji did not have that status, nor did he have that age and qualifications.
He just took note of it secretly.
In the past, he was mostly frank with Wang Shu, so he will have to take precautions in the future.
Seeing that Kou Ji did not speak, Xiang Minzhong said: "Someone was making troubles before. You didn't know about this. The old man doesn't blame you. But today, the old man tells you about it in front of you. do you know?"
Xiang Minzhong pressed hard, Kou Ji had nothing to say.
Kou Ji's mind moved quickly, trying to find a euphemistic, non-harmful rejection word.
But for a while, I really couldn't think of it.
Just when Kou Ji was forced by Xiang Minzhong to be unable to do anything, the girl who had just left the side hall suddenly rushed out of the back hall.
She cried, "Grandfather, I won't marry him... I won't be able to marry him in my life..."
Seeing this, Xiang Minzhong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the girl.
It can be seen that Xiang Minzhong loves the girl very much.
Otherwise, the girl would not dare to break into the side hall so grandiosely.
Instead of blaming her, Xiang Minzhong comforted her softly.
The girl made such a fuss, but instead helped Kou Ji get out of the siege.
Xiang Minzhong no longer forced Kou Ji, but coldly shouted to Kou Ji: "You kid, don't you get out of here..."
He was not at all polite to Kou Ji's tone.
Kou Ji Rumeng was amnesty, arched his hands, and ran outside Xiangfu.
As soon as Kou Ji left, Xiang Minzhong pulled the girl and comforted her in a low voice.
After comforting for a long time, I saw that the girl was still crying.
So he gave up his identity, made a funny face, and amused the girl.
The girl was giggling.
Xiang Minzhong was grimacing.
Kou Ji's ghostly figure appeared again in the Xiangfu Hall.
When Xiang Minzhong and the girl saw Kou Ji at the same time, the expressions on their faces froze.
"what… "
The girl gave a strange cry and ran into the back hall with her face covered.
Xiang Minzhong tugged at the corner of his mouth, retracted the hand that was tugging at his face, with a dark face, staring at Kou Ji, and said coldly: "Why are you back again?"
Kou Ji said with a dry smile: "Just halfway through the kid, I suddenly remembered that when I came to Xiangfu this time, there was something to ask for Grandpa Xiang."
Xiang Minzhong didn't even think about it, and waved his hand: "No way, get out..."
After a pause, he stared at Kou Ji and threatened: "You are not allowed to say what happened just now, or the old man will strangle you to death."
Kou Ji nodded heavily and promised: "The kid will never say anything."
"Fuck off..."
"Um, you still owe a favor to the kid..."
Xiang Minzhong raised his brows, "So it's here to collect debts?"
Xiang Minzhong slowly sat down and said faintly, "The old man owes you a person, you should come to collect the debt. But the old man's ugly words are at the front, and the old man will pay you back. From then on, you will follow us. Xiangfu has nothing to do with it."
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said in deep thought: "Our two families are family friends..."
Xiang Minzhong said indifferently: "Your Kou Mansion does not have my Xiang Mansion's son-in-law, nor is it my Xiang Man's wife's maiden family, what kind of family friendship."
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Xiang Minzhong glanced at him and said calmly: "Let's talk about it, how do you want the old man to pay your favor?"
Kou Ji hurriedly said: "The kid wants to ask Grandpa to help the kid move his official position. Sixth department, or Yushitai, will do."
Xiang Minzhong glared at Kou Ji, and said with an aura: "The court is yours? You can go wherever you want?"
After a pause, he asked suspiciously: "What do you transfer to Liubu? That's Shimizu Yamen. It's nothing. Besides, you have to transfer to Liubu to sit on a cold bench, and you don't need to ask the old man at all. Find your grandfather, Pass a memo book up, and the queen will definitely agree happily."
Kou Jigan smiled and said: "The kid doesn't ask my grandfather, because he has his own problems, so he can't tell Grandpa Xiang. Grandpa Xiang thinks that the six is not appropriate, so you can arrange for the kid to enter the Yushitai."
Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji and sneered: "Which scholar is your kid? Non-jinshi does not appoint an officer, don't you know this rule?"
Kou Ji said with a guilty conscience: "Although the kid is not a scholar, he is a student of the emperor..."
Xiang Minzhong said in a bad mood: "You still know that you are a student of the emperor. The emperor has entered the Yushitai. What official position is granted to you? Ordinary Yushi? Those are all seven-rank official bodies. You are worthy of the signature of your emperor.
Yushi doctor, Yushi Zhongcheng, can you afford it
Apart from six, where else can you go? "
Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Xiang Minzhong said again: "I have to go to the sixth department to sit on the bench. You are ashamed to complain that the old man’s granddaughter has a brain problem. I see, the real brain problem is you. ."
Kou Ji chuckled his mouth and said, "You always ask if you can do it."
Xiang Minzhong glared at Kou Ji and said, "It can be done, it can definitely be done. You are a criminal judge, and you have to go to the sixth department to sit on the bench, how can you not do it.
You have to worry, the old man can let you take office tomorrow. "
Although Xiang Minzhong does not have much real power in the court, he can't hold back his high qualifications and many students, and his sons are in high positions.
He said a word, and sometimes it worked better than Kou Zhuan said.
After all, he is already in semi-retirement. If anyone wants to embarrass him, he can't find a way to deal with him.
If someone can move him down, he will probably play a crown to celebrate. Maybe he will send a plaque to the person who moved him.
He wants to retire now and wants to be overthrown.
Because he knew very well in his heart that he had become a stumbling block for the advancement of his sons.
As long as he is in the morning, it is difficult for his sons to climb up.
The civil and military people of the Manchu dynasty admired the Xiang family's full family of Zhuzi, but no one wanted to see the Xiang family's full family of Zhuzi.
Seeing that Xiang Minzhong agreed, Kou Ji said excitedly, "Thank you, Grandpa Xiang."
Waved to Minzhong disgustedly, "Go away..."
Kou Ji said nothing, and left the side hall of Xiangfu.
After Kou Ji left, Xiang Minzhong sat in the side hall, thinking to himself, muttering in his mouth, "This kid is not a good stubble, so he suddenly dropped the popular yamen like the censorship secretary, and ran to sit on the cold bench in Six Departments. There must be a plan.
I take a look, see what you can make a moth. "
"Father..."
Just as Xiang Minzhong was muttering to himself, his eldest son Xiang Chuanzheng appeared in the Pian Ting.
Xiang Chuanzheng is fifty six. He has mixed black and white beard and hair. He wears a Confucian costume. He is an official residence of Dr. Guozi, so he often likes to keep his face straight.
When he straightened his face, there was always an air of no anger and prestige.
He arrived at the side hall, bowed to Xiang Minzhong, and then said: "Father, I heard that you have dispelled the idea of letting Yan'er marry Kou Ji?"
Xiang Minzhong blew his beard and stared: "Who said that? Since the old man picked him as his grandson-in-law, he will definitely marry his granddaughter to him."
Xiang Chuanzheng was taken aback for a moment, frowned and said, "Yan'er just said..."
Xiang Minzhong squinted his eyes, and said in a bad mood: "Who in this mansion speaks for?"
Xiang Chuanzheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Of course it is you, father."
Xiang Minzhong hummed: "That's fine... The old man believes that he is a grandson-in-law, then he can't run away."
Xiang Chuanzheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Father, I heard Yan'er say that the kid Kou Ji doesn't know how to lift up. You put aside your face and personally asked Yan'er to promise him, but he didn't agree.
If this spreads out, others think I can't marry the daughter of Xiangfu.
At that time, not only will my reputation of Xiangfu be insulted, but also your reputation will be insulted.
In my opinion, it's better to give up this marriage. "
Xiang Minzhong curled his lips and said disdainfully: "You know what a fart..."
Xiang Chuanzheng seems to be accustomed to being scolded by Xiang Minzhong. He did not pay attention to Yi Xiang Minzhong's verbal abuse, but seriously analyzed: "Now Kou Zhun is out of power and paralyzed in bed. His party members are suppressed by the Queen and Ding Xiang. Retired.
The defeat of Kou Mansion will happen sooner or later.
It is not a good thing to promise Yaner to Kou Ji.
Once Kou Mansion is defeated, Yan Erke will follow Kou Ji and endure hardships. "
Xiang Minzhong glared at his son and sneered: "You know what a fart! Like Ding said, his position in the court will not last. If the Kou Mansion falls, his Ding Mansion will fall next.
The queen is in power, seemingly unstoppable.
But do you think that the Manchu dynasty's civil and military will wait to die
Who would want to be ridden on the head by a woman
Who wants to see a Wu Zhao appear? "
Seeing her son's face in dissatisfaction, Xiang Minzhong said: "Even if the queen takes over the power of the court, it will eventually be handed over to the prince. The official family is just such a son. Even if she wants to imitate Wu Zhao, she can't do it for another person To.
Therefore, whether it is the queen or Ding Wei, it just looks tall and strong.
In fact, they are all duckweed on the water.
Once the prince grows up, these duckweeds are destined to dissipate with the waves.
Therefore, the prince is the only one who is truly stable in the ruling and opposition parties.
It is better to follow the prince to follow someone. "
Xiang Chuanzheng said unconvincedly: "If the queen chooses one from the clan to replace the crown prince?"
Xiang Minzhong glared at his son and cursed: "So I said, you know what a fart. If she really dares to choose one from the clan to replace the crown prince, then she won't live until the end of the year.
Don't look at the Zhao family members, who are generous to us foreign ministers, you think they are good stubborns.
The reason why they are so good to us is to coax us well and let us help them manage the country and the grassland.
But they are cruel to their own people.
Don’t you know how Emperor Taizu came to power
How did Emperor Taizong come to power, don't you know
Don't you know what you did after the official came to power? "
Xiang Chuanzheng was stunned and murmured: "After the official came to power, he expelled the many female relatives in the palace from the palace..."
Xiang Minzhong coldly snorted: "The old man has heard and witnessed the twists and turns of this incident. There was a popular rumor in those days that Emperor Taizong was lustful and innocent, and Emperor Taizong vowed to his innocence in the presence of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Said that there are not many girls in the palace.
But after the official family ascended the throne, thousands of female families were driven away from the palace.
Emperor Taizong's words of self-evident innocence back then became a joke.
There are some disrespectful things, the old man is inconvenient to say more, but you should be very clear in your heart. "
Xiang Minzhong would like to say that if you are a minister, you deceive the emperor, your brother is deceiving your brother, your child is deceiving your father, what you should or shouldn’t be done, they are done, you are really good when you are the royal family of the Zhao clan.
But this is disrespectful words, he can only order Xiang Chuanzheng on demand, let him realize by himself.
Xiang Chuanzheng is not stupid, and if Xiang Minzhong has said so thoroughly, he can naturally guess what Xiang Minzhong wants to convey to him.
Seeing his son frowned, Xiang Minzhong was silent, and said: "In the Zhao family, there is no one who can be compared to the prince's kindness. As long as the queen does not want to kill herself, she will never do it. Find someone to replace the prince."
Xiang Chuanzheng pondered for a long time, and said, "Even if the crown prince's status is unshakable, it has nothing to do with you granting Yan'er to Kou Ji?"
Xiang Minzhong snorted coldly, "You know what a fart, Kou Ji's wisdom is far from what you can imagine. When the gaze of Manchu Wenwu was still on the official family, Kou Zhun, and the queen, his gaze had already fallen. On the prince.
He made a move on the prince ahead of time, making the prince believe in him.
He was in the palace, but in just a few short days, the prince made him treat him like a elder brother in his heart.
What he is now, the old man is not sure, but once the prince is in charge.
He is bound to become the most dazzling minister in the court. "
Xiang Chuanzheng looked stunned and exclaimed: "How is this possible?"
Xiang Minzhong sneered and said: "How can this be impossible? Do you know that it is because he abruptly forced the prince to go on a hunger strike for two days without letting the prince waste his martial arts."
Xiang Chuanzheng was shocked.
Xiang Minzhong said coldly: "Kou Ji reminded the prince not to waste martial arts. The queen could not see the prince get close to Kou Ji, nor did he see the prince practice martial arts, after Kou Ji left the palace, stopped the prince martial arts.
The prince went on a hunger strike for two days and fought with the queen.
In the end, it was the queen, not the prince, who compromised.
In this matter, the queen gave a password, so not many people know about it.
The old man happened to be one of them.
From this matter, it is not difficult to see that Kou Ji's position in the Prince's heart is unshakable.
As long as he can win the grandson-in-law of Kou Ji, even if the old man dies, the Xiang family will be able to preserve wealth for three generations.
This is why the old man insists on marrying his granddaughter to Kou Ji. "
Xiang Chuanzheng said in disbelief: "People will become, I don't believe it. After Kou Ji leaves the palace, the prince will still trust him as before."
Xiang Minzhong sneered: "The last person who didn't believe that the prince would always trust Kou Ji, do you know who he is?"
"Who?"
"Yan Shu!"
Xiang Minzhong said Yan Shu's name in a loud voice, "He is younger than you, but his official position is higher than you, and smarter than you. He doesn't believe that the prince will always trust Kou Ji, so when he is with the prince, he frequently tells you. The prince's remonstrance, the slander of Kou Ji.
Do you know how the prince treats him now? "
Xiang Chuanzheng shook his head.
Xiang Minzhong sneered: "The prince now thinks of him every day except when he pours Yexiang, and he doesn't say a word to him the rest of the time."
