Wang Zeng's words were concise and concise, but Kou Ji heard murderous aura from them.
The abolition of the Xiang army is tantamount to a reform.
The scope of the reform is not large, but the number of people and regions affected are very wide.
Directly and indirectly affect the interests of many people.
Wu Xun is just one of them.
When the Xiang army is abolished at any time, it is not just some of the money in Wuxun's pocket that is abolished, but also many, many, tens of thousands of officials.
Among these officials, there are children of the Wuxun family, and there are also many civilian officials.
It's just Wuxun making a fuss. When the decree to abolish the Xiang army is implemented, some civilian officials will follow suit.
For them, the imperial court abolishing the Xiang army is not taking their money away, but smashing their jobs, and they will only make the trouble more fierce.
Therefore, the issue of the abolition of the Xiang army is not a matter of the imperial court arbitrarily implementing a decree. It involves all aspects and cannot be solved by two or two decree.
For example, after the Xiang army is dismantled, the placement of millions of soldiers and civilians is a bigger problem.
Although the imperial court grabbed a lot of territory from Xixia, as Kou Zhun continued to move the Cypriots inside, the newly occupied territory had been carved up.
It is impossible for the abolished Xiangjun and his family members to be resettled in the past.
And the land in various places, after years of occupation, basically has the owner, no one is willing to give up the land in their hands for the use of the abolished Xiang army.
Therefore, before the imperial court has no proper methods to deal with these problems, rashly abolishing the Xiang army will only cause huge troubles to the imperial court, and will not bring much benefit to the imperial court.
Therefore, Kou Ji is not optimistic about the current idea and practice of the imperial court to abolish the Xiang army.
"Now is not the time to abolish the Xiang army..."
Kou Ji sat opposite Wang Zeng and said sincerely.
Wang Zeng looked at Kou Ji with an unexpected look, "The old man thought that you would be the biggest help in the abolition of the Xiang army. Didn't you expect you to oppose it?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "The purpose of what we do is to make Da Song better, not to make Da Song a mess."
Wang Zeng was taken aback, and slowly nodded: "The Xiang Jun's problem is far from comparable to that of the previous censorship department. If it is not handled well, it will indeed cause civil upheaval."
After a pause, Wang Zeng said again: "But now that the problem has arisen, we must find a way to solve it. We can't let them accumulate from generation to generation, and finally turn a small trouble into a big one."
Kou Ji bowed his hand to Wang Zeng, "The king is high righteous..."
Wang Zeng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed and cursed: "Don't put a high hat on the old man, just tell me, what do you think."
Kou Ji opened his hands and said, "What can I think? I don't have any ideas."
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji. He didn't believe Kou Ji had no idea about it.
Judging from what Kou Ji did when he entered Bianjing, he must have some ideas about the abolition of Xiang forces, otherwise he would never bring the problems of the Serbian army to the court.
It's just that Kou Ji didn't intend to speak out, and Wang Zeng was not easy to ask questions.
In this way, Kou Ji sat in Wang Zeng's carriage, dangling to the city of Bianjing.
As they walked slowly along the way, they had already entered May when they returned to Bianjing.
After entering the Kaifeng realm, Wang Zeng drove Kou Ji out of the carriage and let Kou Ji walk like a prisoner.
Wang Zeng also confiscated the donkey he rode.
When the group was ten miles away from the city of Bianjing, they saw Kou Zhun, and Zhao Zhen took the Manchu civil and military to greet them by the roadside.
Gao Chu Gong, Cao Wei, Zhe Weizhong, and Chong Shiheng, played the prestige and prestige that the Song Dynasty should have on the border.
Kou Zhun also fulfilled his promise and took Zhao Zhen to greet him ten miles outside the city.
Kou Ji and his party arrived in front of Zhao Zhen, dismounted from the horse, dismounted from the carriage, and finally gathered in front of Zhao Zhen, converging to give salutes.
Cao Wei led the soldiers, fell on one knee in front of Zhao Zhen, and shouted: "The minister Cao Wei was ordered to go northward to resist the Liao people's invasion from the south. Now the Liao people have retired and re-signed the covenant in our Song Dynasty.
The ministers led the soldiers to return to the DPRK and came to give orders. "
In two years, Zhao Zhen grew a lot taller, and under Kou Zhun and Liu E, he also looked like an emperor.
Facing the order from Cao Wei, he waved his hand calmly, and an eunuch immediately stepped forward and took the soldier talisman from Cao Wei's hand.
Then Zhao Zhen stepped forward again, helped Cao Wei up, and said seriously: "Aiqing has been fighting for my great Song Jiangshan day and night, and has made great contributions. Aiqing has worked hard."
"Xuanzhao..."
After Zhao Zhen helped Cao Wei up, he gave an order to the eunuch behind him.
The eunuch held a roll of edicts and said loudly: "Cao Wei takes the order!"
Cao Wei knelt on one knee again, and the eunuch began to read the imperial decree.
After a long list of gorgeous words, the main content appeared.
"Jin Caowei is the Taibao, Qin this..."
The title of a First-Class Taibao steadily landed on Cao Wei's head.
But the role of Taibao is basically the same as that of Taishi Kou Zhun.
It is a kind of honor, a kind of status, a high salary, but no real power.
Cao Wei's power of commanding troops was removed.
If it weren't for his identity as Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he would have to go home and eat and wait to die.
After Cao Wei thanked the award.
Zhao Zhen said to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army: "I have a reward for you and others, and you will return to the camp. Someone will send your reward to the camp later."
After thanking Zhao Zhen for his Long En, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army returned to the military camp outside the city under the leadership of the generals of the Forbidden Army.
There are only three thousand people who have made great contributions to them. They followed Cao Wei and Zhao Zhen to Beijing to accept the common people's welcome.
After the soldiers saluted.
Xiang Minzhong took Wang Zeng, Kou Ji and others, and came forward to salute.
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji's body for a while, looking at Kou Ji's neck, after the black line on his hand, a smile was drawn from the corner of his mouth.
However, he did not shout anything close on the spot, but simply said, "I see..."
Zhao Zhen came out today to greet the soldiers on the expedition, not the envoys on the mission.
Therefore, no more time will be spent on Xiang Minzhong and his party.
Soldiers are the protagonists of today.
After accepting everyone's worship, Zhao Zhen stepped into the carriage and invited Kou Zhun and Cao Wei into the carriage together, and then slowly drove to Bianjing City under the guard of the hundred officials and soldiers.
When I was less than three miles away from Bianjing, I ran into the welcoming people on the road.
The Song Dynasty fought two vigorously in Xixia and Liao Kingdom, and played a majestic manner, sweeping away the years of decline.
The people are really happy.
Therefore, they offered all those who were reluctant to eat and wear on weekdays, and gave them to the soldiers who entered the city.
Those who offer wine, meat, stuffed eggs, and pouches have everything.
There were even businessmen who asked the guys to carry the burden and toast the soldiers one by one.
Almost everyone who followed in the team has gained something.
Even Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng have gained a lot.
Only Kou Ji did not.
When the people offered their things and saw the shackles painted on Kou Ji's body, they decisively moved away from him.
If today is not a happy day, it is estimated that someone will spit at him.
Kou Ji looked depressed, wishing to strangle two old men, Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng.
The group walked into Bianjing City along the Royal Street and was enthusiastically sought after by the people in Bianjing City.
Familiar faces also appeared in the welcome queue.
When two familiar figures appeared in front of Kou Ji, Kou Ji almost died in shame.
"Why are you doing this? Others don't know, but I know that few people can compare to you for the credit of this trip."
Xiang Yan held a bowl of wine, handed it to Kou Ji, and said with a smile.
Kou Ji held the wine and said with an awkward look: "I always feel that this scene is a bit embarrassing now and shouldn't be seen."
Xiang Yancan smiled, "But I still saw..."
"Um..."
"But I know what kind of person you are..."
"..."
"Ahem, my throat is also a bit dry..."
Xiang Minzhong didn't know when he came up, pinching his throat, looking like I was thirsty.
Kou Ji, the expression on Xiang Yan's face froze.
"The old man also does..."
Wang Zeng also came up to join in the fun.
Kou Ji's face turned black.
Xiang Yan Luoluo generously said: "I have seen my grandfather, I have seen Uncle Wang..."
Xiang Minzhong hummed: "Girl, I'm your grandfather. If you don't offer wine to your grandfather, how can you give it to an outsider?"
Wang Zeng just smiled and nodded, his eyes on Kou Ji, and Xiang Yan looked at him once or two, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
When Xiang Yan heard what Xiang Minzhong said, she just looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.
It seems to be telling Xiang Minzhong that I just turned my elbow out, so what can you do
When Xiang Minzhong saw this, his old face was dark, and he stared at Kou Ji: "Boy, how does a poem say... Life is like..."
"you drink!"
Without a word, Kou Ji stuffed the wine bowl in his hand to Xiang Minzhong and blocked his mouth.
Holding the wine bowl in Xiang Minzhong, Xiang Xiang Yan raised an eyebrow triumphantly.
Xiang Yan looked suspiciously on Xiang Minzhong and Kou Ji.
"You two are enough, you are going to enter the palace soon."
Wang Zeng reminded him.
Xiang Minzhong hurriedly drank the wine in his hand, stuffed the empty bowl into Xiang Yan's hand, and took Kou Ji to catch Zhao Zhen's dragon frame.
The group drove all the way into Yidemen.
Zhao Zhen got out of the carriage and led the hundred officials to have a banquet in the palace.
The palace had already prepared food and drinks for Cao Wei.
Entered the Daqing Hall.
Zhao Zhen sent someone to take Cao Wei and others down to wash, and then the banquet started after the wash.
Since it was not a formal court meeting, Liu E also appeared in the Daqing Hall.
She has a smile on her face, she looks brilliant, but she feels fake.
Zhao Zhen, sitting high on the dragon chair, raised his glass and said, "After nearly two years of battle, the curtain finally came to an end.
Not only did we not lose in Da Song, but we added new ground.
It all depends on you Aiqing to work together.
I respect all of you Aiqing a cup. "
The officials did not even dare to shout, and then accompanied Zhao Zhen for a drink with a glass of wine.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen began to say some scenes.
Hundred officials occasionally listened attentively.
Zhao Zhen occasionally stopped, consulted Kou Zhun one or two, and then continued to speak.
Kou Ji saw some differences from Zhao Zhen.
In the past, Zhao Zhen was an echo bug in the court, and basically listened to Taishi or Liu E.
Zhao Zhen now seems to have such a little right to speak in the court, although he can't decide on major issues yet.
But many of the scenes were said by him.
Kou Zhun and Liu E did not interrupt.
What does this show
It shows that during the period when Kou Ji left, Kou Zhun was trying to get Zhao Zhen to establish prestige in the court, and slowly returning the imperial power to Zhao Zhen.
Compared with historical data, Zhao Zhen, who was still at the mercy of Liu E in his twenties, is now very different.
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking on the scene and rewarded the soldiers who had made great achievements, his eyes fell on Xiang Minzhong and his group.
"Xiang Aiqing, how is everything going well for Liao as an envoy?"
Zhao Zhen asked.
Although everyone has known the result for a long time, it is still necessary to ask.
Xiang Minzhong arched his hands and said, "Although there were some twists and turns when returning to the official house, everything went smoothly. It just dazzled the official family's marriage."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I didn't have a marriage, but I asked Song Shao to hand over 100,000 pieces of silk cloth to the Liao State. I would rather have more of this kind of marriage, and then it would be fine."
Xiang Minzhong handed over and said: "The officials don't blame the old officials."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "How can I blame Aiqing? Not only is Aiqing innocent, but also meritorious. As for the reward..."
Having said that, Zhao Zhen paused and looked at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun slowly said, "Add Tai Fu..."
Zhao Zhen nodded and agreed.
Then he asked Wang Zeng again, gave Wang Zeng a false title, and then his eyes fell on Kou Ji who was standing in the corner of the hall.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Why doesn't Xiao Kou Aiqing sit down?"
Kou Ji arched his hands and said, "You don't dare to sit down if you are a sinner."
Zhao Zhen knew that the consultant said: "Xiao Kou Aiqing is guilty? What crime did he commit?"
The minister of the criminal ministry played: "Going back to the official's house, murder."
"Humph!"
Before Zhao Zhen spoke, Wang Zengxian snorted coldly.
"The Criminal Ministry convicted and convicted a fifth-rank official. Have you ever asked the old man? Is this old man a decoration?"
Wang Zeng's words were a little heavy, and the frightened Xingbu minister shuddered a little.
The officer of the Xing Department turned around to Wang Zeng and said, "Wang Shangshu, Kou Ji's murder is obvious to all.
The lower official had already handed over the documents to Dali Temple, and after Dali Temple's review, there was no doubt. "
Wang Zeng sneered and said, "Without the old man's commentary, do you send the paperwork to Dali Temple to do the counting?"
The secretary of the Xing Department looked stiff, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you far in the Liao country. You haven't come back, and the officials can't just let this matter go, right?"
"But the old man is back now, shouldn't this case be let the old man go through and make a decision?"
"But Dali Temple..."
"Are you teaching the old man to do things?"
"I don't dare to subordinate."
"Humph!"
When Wang Zeng said something, he subdued the servant of the criminal ministry, and the servant of the criminal ministry stopped speaking.
But it does not mean that the matter has been rashly exposed.
Wang Qinruo hummed: "Wang Zeng, are you planning to protect Kou Ji
He killed hundreds of people with cruel and outrageous methods.
And pile by pile, the evidence is conclusive.
You are protecting him out loud now, which is obviously a shelter. "
