Kou Ji left the yard where the craftsmen were and returned to his yard. He just took off his bearskin coat and was about to wash, when he saw Kou Zhong hurriedly enter the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he said anxiously: "Little master, go and take a look. You are locked in the wood house and you are almost crazy."
"Who?"
The hot sweat towel that Kou Ji just mentioned fell into the water, questioning with confusion.
Kou Zhong hurriedly said, "It's the one named Zhang Hua."
Kou Ji yelled and exclaimed: "I've been busy with politics these few days, but I forgot about this guy."
"Take me to see!"
While talking, Kou Ji put on a bearskin coat and walked out.
Kou Zhong hurriedly followed behind.
Kou Ji asked as he walked, "Why is this guy going crazy?"
Kou Zhong said uncertainly: "Probably it was bored in the wood shed."
Kou Ji wondered: "There are windows in the wood shed, guards outside the door, someone to accompany him to speak, and there is light. How could he be suffocated?"
Kou Zhong explained: "The second day you tried the servant, the servant scolded you in the wood shed. The guard at the door couldn't listen, so he nailed the upper door, sealed the door, and blocked the wood shed. It's dead.
The guards would not talk to him except for opening a corner of the window and throwing it in during the daily meal delivery. "
Kou Ji took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This is a confinement that has been closed for more than ten days..."
"What confinement?"
Kou Zhong questioned.
Kou Ji shook his head and whispered: "Nothing..."
Ordinary people would be better than dogs if they were put in confinement for three or five days.
After being locked up for ten days and a half months, you will either go crazy or commit suicide.
Kou Ji rushed to the yard where the Chaifang was located, and saw Zhang Hua sitting in the yard with a disheveled hair, staring at the sky with his eyes blankly.
There were three guards around him.
Kou Ji leaned forward, smelled the stench all over Zhang Hua, and took a few steps back.
"Zhang Hua?!"
Kou Ji shouted.
Zhang Hua remained indifferent.
Kou Ji wondered: "Really crazy?"
Kou Zhong and the three guards nodded together.
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and said in a low voice: "It's a pity... Give him a happy one and throw it to the mass grave outside the city."
The guard nodded and drew the scimitar from his waist.
A bit of knife light flashed into Zhang Hua's eyes through the scorching sun.
Zhang Hua's eyes were a little more glamorous.
He yelled, "I don't want to die... I can't die..."
The guard swung his knife to chop.
Zhang Huashun rolled, rolled three times, and rolled to Kou Ji's feet.
He suddenly hugged Kou Ji's thigh and exclaimed: "Let me go, let me go, you can let me do anything. I'll be a cow and a horse for you, and I'll be a slave and a servant..."
Seeing that Kou Ji was unmoved, Zhang Hua hurriedly said again: "You treat me as a dog, when I am a dog... Reward me a bone when I am happy, kick me out of anger when I am unhappy..."
While talking, Zhang Hua still held Kou Ji's leg, rubbed it twice, and barked twice.
At this moment, Zhang Hua didn't have a little bit of arrogance.
At this moment, Zhang Hua was humbled to his bones.
But he had to do it.
He wants to live.
All the unrealistic fantasies in his mind disappeared with the ten days of confinement.
Had it not been for his strong desire to survive, he would have killed himself in the wood shed long ago.
In the last few days of confinement.
The only thought in his mind was to see Kou Ji and beg for his life in front of Kou Ji.
As long as Kou Ji can keep him alive, he can do anything.
When Zhang Hua learned to look like a dog, lying on the ground with his feet up to the sky, and opened his clothes to reveal his belly.
Kou Zhong murmured: "Can people still be so cheap?"
Kou Ji looked at the ulcerated scar on Zhang Hua's chest, frowned slightly, and said faintly: "You went in for ten and a half months, and you did the same when you came out."
If it was changed before, Kou Zhong would definitely refute Kou Ji weakly.
But seeing Zhang Hua's appearance, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Facts speak louder than words.
Kou Ji's eyes circled around Kou Zhong and the three guards, and he said coldly: "This matter is forbidden to be spread out, and you are not allowed to use this method to deal with the people in the house.
Otherwise, don't blame me for not being affectionate. "
Kou Zhong and the three guards trembled, and they all bowed and agreed: "Here..."
Zhang Hua is a living example before them, how dare they violate Kou Ji's meaning.
Kou Ji glanced down at Zhang Hua, who was hanging his belly, and frowned, "Take him down and see the doctor in the house for one or two treatments. He will wash up and change his clothes. Then he will be sent to my yard. ."
Kou Zhong agreed.
Kou Ji tossed his sleeves and left the yard.
Kou Zhong ordered the three guards to pick up Zhang Hua and send it to the yard where the doctor of the house was.
Kou Ji returned to his yard, threw down his bearskin coat, washed his face with cold water in the copper basin, pinched the frozen sweat towel, and said with emotion: "A generation of traitorous heroes has become what it is now. Know whether it's good or bad."
Kou Ji said while holding the sweat towel and wiping it on his face.
His face hurt when the sweat towel was shaved hard. He threw down the sweat towel and shouted at the door, "Come on, give me a pot of hot water."
The servant outside the yard heard Kou Ji's call and hurried into the yard to help Kou Ji get a pot of hot water.
Kou Ji cleaned briefly and sat in a daze in the room.
After a long time.
Kou Zhong hurried into the yard and reported: "Little young master, the doctor in the house said that the knife wound on Zhang Hua’s chest was ulcerated. The rotten meat needs to be scraped off and reapplied. Only after the new meat grows can he recover. As always.
The doctor left him in the hospital, saying that he will be sent back to you after he has been diagnosed and cured. "
Kou Ji faintly stared behind Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong was taken aback, turned around abruptly, and saw Zhang Hua with a pale face standing behind him.
He shivered with fright.
But it was just a shiver, and there was not much excessive reaction.
Kou Zhong frowned and said, "Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital? What are you doing here?"
Kou Zhong was a little unhappy, so he told Kou Ji that Zhang Hua was recuperating in the hospital, and Zhang Hua appeared in front of Kou Ji.
Isn't this slap him in the face
Zhang Hua said sluggishly: "The injury of the little slave doesn't matter, the little slave rushes over to serve the master."
Kou Zhong frowned, and Kou Ji frowned slightly.
Kou Ji ordered: "From today, you will be renamed Zhang Yuan, and you will work as a swill handyman in the mansion. I will call you when I need you in the future."
Zhang Hua politely bowed to Kou Ji, and said blankly: "Thank you for your name, Master."
"Go down."
Kou Ji waved his hand and Zhang Hua withdrew from Kou Ji's bedroom.
Kou Zhong groaned and asked Kou Ji, "Little Master, is this person abolished?"
Kou Ji thought about it: "That's not necessarily the case. This person is different from everyone else and is very cunning. You send someone to stare at him behind the scenes. If he has any changes, you can send someone to tell me."
Kou Zhong said unexpectedly: "The young master meant that the appearance of this person just now might have been pretended? He knew that you would go back to the young master, so he might repeat it secretly?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Kou Zhong said solemnly: "The old servant has to send someone clever to stare at him."
"It should be so!"
Kou Ji said something.
Kou Zhong wanted to retire, he was about to bow his hands and salute, he seemed to think of something, and questioned: "Little master, there is nothing special about this person, why do you value him so much
When he was in the country, he was quite talented, but he was not enough to get the Bianjing City.
Not to mention other places, even those scholars who worked in our house are better learned than him. "
Kou Ji simply explained, "This person's uniqueness is not in literary talent, but in scheming."
Kou Zhong said unexpectedly: "Little Young Master said, this person has a different plan from ordinary people?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Kou Zhong thoughtfully said: "If this is the case, the young master can subdue him, stay by his side, and be a long-term follower."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "That's what I think."
Kou Zhong said seriously: "However, this person is likely to be repeated. It is better for the young master to hand him over to the old servant. The old servant will get him one or two, so that he will be able to follow the young master well."
Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhong in amazement, and said in surprise: "Do you still have this method?"
Kou Zhong said embarrassedly: "The old servant has followed the master for many years, and the servants and maids who pass through are thousands of people. If there is no means, how can you suppress them
In the past, the old servant dared not take out this dirty thing and smear the young master's ear.
Now that I have seen the methods of the young master and understood the thoughts of the young master, the old servant dared to mention it in front of the young master. "
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and yelled: "We are all our own. If you have any means, you should tell me the truth. It saves me that when I want to use people, I can't find suitable people."
Kou Zhong accompanied the smiling face and said, "What the young master taught is."
Kou Ji glared at Kou Zhong and said, "I will leave it to you. If you have any means, just do it. If you don't do well, I don't use it smoothly. Be careful I hit your board."
Kou Zhong grinned, "Look at it, young master."
Kou Zhong didn't say anything to brag, he arched his hands and withdrew from Kou Ji's bedroom.
He has enough self-confidence to do so.
As an old man who has been with Kou Zhun for decades, if he had no means, he would have been scammed to death long ago, and he would still be able to stay now.
On weekdays, he is unwilling to show the mountains and leaks, because no one of the servants in the house can shake his position.
Once someone threatens his status, he will definitely let the other person know what thunder means is called.
Kou Ji looked at the back of Kou Zhong's departure, clicked his mouth, and said with emotion: "The mansion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. I don't care about it on weekdays, so I can't find it. I missed a lot of talents.
If Zhang Hua first came to Beijing, it was handed over to Kou Zhong**, I am afraid that he has become my right-hand man. "
After sighing, Kou Ji pretended to be a dead dog in the bedroom.
It was not until Kou Zhun returned from the palace that he left the bedroom and went straight to the main hall to see Kou Zhun.
When Kou Ji arrived in the main hall, he saw Kou Zhun sitting with a tea bowl in his hand and his face uncertain.
Kou Ji stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Is it not going well for grandfather to enter the palace to discuss matters?"
Kou Zhun put down the tea bowl, shook his head, stretched out his hand to grab the white beard, and murmured: "It's not so smooth, but it's so smooth. The smoothness made the old man feel a little weird."
Kou Ji exclaimed unexpectedly: "Liu E promised Xu Zhezhong the right to do things cheaply?"
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "Not only did he agree to the right of the Xu Zhezhong family to do things cheaply, but he also proposed to dispatch troops and horses in advance to the northwest front line."
Kou Ji said, "This is a great thing, why is my grandfather unhappy?"
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said quietly: "She allowed Ding Wei to supervise the army without the permission of the old man, and let Cao use the documents given to Ding Wei to dispatch troops."
After a pause, Kou Zhun beat Kou Bus, and said: "She also stolen the official commanding soldier tiger charm and gave Ding Wei to Ding Wei, and asked Ding Wei to go to the northwest the day before."
Kou Ji hurriedly asked: "Who is the handsome, and which part of the soldiers and horses are mobilized?"
Kou Ji did not see that there was a mobilization of soldiers and horses in Beijing, so Liu E had to mobilize troops and could only mobilize soldiers and horses outside the capital.
Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "The commander of the Yongxing Road Horse Infantry Army, and the general manager of the Zhou Road Capital, and the appease envoy Li Zhaoliang as the handsome. All the village soldiers and vassal soldiers on Yongxing Road and Daizhou Road will be dispatched by them."
Kou Ji pondered: "The late Zhongshuling Li Jilong's son, Li Weixian's father, Li Zhaoliang?"
Kou Zhun nodded his head.
Kou Ji continued: "The Datong Army, the Gande Army, and the Yongxing Army have a total of 150,000 horses. Together with the town soldiers and the vassal soldiers, there will be a total of 200,000 people? It's a big deal."
The military system of the Song Dynasty consisted of one army leading two compartments and one compartment with twenty-five people.
Three services and six compartments are 150,000 horses.
Kou Ji questioned: "With the mobilization of 200,000 soldiers and horses, Liu E would dare to call the shots without going through court discussions?"
Kou Ji immediately said again: "Besides, now that the food shortage in various places is not flat, she rashly dispatches the army, if it spreads out, there will be many rumors."
Kou Zhun sighed, "Who said no."
Kou Ji asked: "Grandfather stopped speaking out?"
Kou Zhun shook his head and whispered: "Not only did the old man not stop her, he also helped her."
Kou Ji looked suspicious.
Kou Zhun sighed and said, "The old man signed her name on the document that she dispatched troops and horses."
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Kou Zhun explained: "Although Liu E was anxious to transfer troops, it was a bit hasty. But as you and my grandchildren said before, this time the Liao people conquered Xixia is a rare opportunity for my Da Song. Not even a second can be missed.
Our ancestors and grandchildren were anxious about Liu E's refusal to transfer troops. Now Liu E is willing to transfer troops. If the old man stops her by speaking out, he will stumble her.
The old man was afraid that the spirit she had just mentioned would retract again.
If this spirit of energy is retracted, it will be difficult to mobilize troops in the future.
Yan Yun hasn't recovered, Xixia looks eagerly.
If the imperial court keeps standing still, it is easy to become a toothless tiger, and will only serve as a mermaid. "
Kou Ji heard Kou Zhun's explanation and suddenly realized.
He nodded and said: "Grandfather's words are reasonable. Now that she has the idea of mobilizing troops, she can't be allowed to retract. I see Liu E hurriedly mobilized troops, probably because of the gain.
Once let her take the opportunity to bite one or two pieces of meat, to open up the frontier.
Her power in the court will definitely be re-established.
She probably wanted to take this to reappear on the Hanging Arch Hall. "
