Large and small rebellions ran through the entire Song Dynasty, and no rebellion overthrew the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, it was very difficult to rebel in the Song Dynasty.
Kou Ji didn't think he could overthrow the Song Dynasty if he led two or three hundred thousand warriors.
Not to mention, just the fourth armies of the Forbidden Army in Bianjing City, not necessarily the two or three hundred thousand warriors of Baozhou can win.
What's more, Da Song had other soldiers and horses.
There are more than one million soldiers from all the Prohibition Army, Xiang Army, Fan Soldiers, and Town Soldiers.
There are also tens of millions of people who are backing up under the control of Da Song officials.
It wasn't that Kou Ji led two or three hundred thousand warriors, it could be overthrown.
If you really want to overthrow Song Dynasty, it will be easier to follow Zhao Kuangyin's approach.
It's just that there are no soldiers and horses for him to mobilize in Bianjing.
Although those martial arts were deeply resentful towards the court under the restriction of the court, they were still the most loyal supporters of the court.
Because they enjoyed enough preferential treatment given to them by the court.
If they were to support a certain prince to usurp the throne, they might still have ideas.
But if they drag them to revolt together, they probably won't agree.
The preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court is enough for them to live the life they want, and they can't afford to exchange their lives for the same wealth, or a little higher than the current wealth.
What's more, if the emperor of the new dynasty changes the dynasty, it is difficult to say whether the emperor of the new dynasty will treat them like the Zhao family.
So Kou Ji felt that if he rebelled, there was not much success rate.
It would be easy if it were to crack the soil and seal the borders.
He only needs to take his soldiers and horses to occupy a place on the border, and after three or five imperial crusades, he can comfortably lie on the border and become the king.
At that time, you might be able to take advantage of the court in the name of tribute.
Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun, and suddenly laughed at himself, and then said: "Grandfather is telling me a joke? There are less than 300,000 soldiers who can fight in Baozhou. 300,000 soldiers and horses can rebel from Baozhou to Bianjing.
I'm afraid that even Zhending Mansion can't get out.
Also, although the emperor’s pro-army is controlled by me and there is no supervising army, the official family has already planted many cronies in it.
Even if I wanted to raise troops, they would not agree.
And I made money in Jiangling Shiyi, also to use superb skills to forge exquisite, durable, and high-copper copper coins, so as to sort out the chaotic copper coins all over the Song Dynasty.
As for the three major merchants in Shuzhong, they are just a cooperative relationship with me.
We can profit together, but we cannot rebel together.
Besides, there are officials in the business we do.
Officials have the most members and the most right to speak.
After digging out these, what would I use to rebel
Just rely on that little money in the house? "
Kou Ji thought that Kou Zhun would dispel his doubts when he clarified the stakes clearly, but he didn't expect Kou Zhun to say something coldly after listening to him.
"It's not good for others to rebel with money alone. But you can!"
Hearing this, Kou Ji couldn't bear it, and wanted to refute fiercely.
But Kou Zhun said again: "Because you have the old man, the grandfather, and the old man is only half a step away from the throne. There are three seats in the inner court, and the old man has one seat, and the other two seats are also the old man's close friends.
There are as many as half of the officials who obey the old man in court.
Zhu Neng, the old man's confidant, guards the imperial city.
As long as the old man gives an order, he can help the old man do anything. "
Kou Ji's eyes widened when he heard this.
He wanted to growl loudly.
You want to rebel, right
grandfather!
Kou Zhun continued: "You only need to spend some money to buy half of the courtiers. Even if you can't buy them all, you can buy some. Then you can use money to bribe the eunuchs and Gong E in the palace to poison the officials.
Then buy a part of the generals in the forbidden army in Bianjing.
You can easily take away the throne.
You only need to unite all the officials after the official's death, and ask the old man to make the prince you fancy an official.
Then he surrendered the throne to the old man.
When the old man takes the position, you can use Zhu Neng and the lieutenant colonel of the Forbidden Army to quickly eradicate dissidents.
After the old man's death, what is left for you is a stable and stable state. "
After Kou Ji heard these words, he quickly calculated it in his mind and found that what Kou Zhun said was very feasible.
Far higher than his rebellion.
And there is an 80% success rate.
The premise is that Kou Zhun can cooperate.
After Kou Zhun finished speaking, he stared directly at Kou Ji, wanting to see how Kou Ji reacted.
Kou Ji frowned and said nothing.
After a long time, he raised his head, stared at Kou Zhun, and said frankly: "Grandfather, it's nothing good to be a government official. People are rare, I really don't.
Besides, the officials have a deep sense of righteousness to me, and I don't want to hurt him..."
Kou Zhun let out a sigh of relief when he heard Kou Ji's words.
He stared at Kou Ji and said earnestly: "Tai Zong, Emperor Xian, two officials, both have great favors to the old man. Although Emperor Xian has degraded the old man several times, the position of the old man in his heart has not been shaken.
The Emperor Xian's ability to entrust the official family to the old man when he was in danger was a great recognition and trust in the old man.
The old man can't be ashamed of the kindness to Taizong and the first emperor, and the old man can't live up to the approval and trust of the first emperor.
That's why the old man will ask you a clear question after he has doubts in his heart.
If you really have the idea of usurping the throne, then the old man is bound to exterminate relatives righteously.
He took away all your officials and sent you back to Huazhou, so that people would watch you for a lifetime. "
Kou Zhun can tell how to deal with Kou Ji, and Kou Ji believes that Kou Zhun is the truth.
Kou Zhun did not say that he killed him, which shows that in Kou Zhun's heart, their grandparents are very attached.
After Kou Zhun said this, he repeated: "You said you don't like the throne at all, and the old man doesn't believe it. But you say that the official has a deep and righteousness towards you and you don't want to hurt him. This old man believes."
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and solemnly said: "Because the officials are really good to you, treat you like a brother."
Kou Ji raised his brows and thought to himself.
Kou Zhun went uncharacteristically today and insisted on pulling out the topic of rebellion, and beating him, 80% of the time he was stimulated in the palace.
And it has something to do with Zhao Zhen.
Kou Zhun didn't let Kou Ji think about it for a long time. He sighed: "The officials are very satisfied with your placement of refugees and know that you have done a lot, so I plan to reward you heavily.
Originally I wanted to promote you to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, but for the old man and the three vetoed it.
The old man and the three are not trying to suppress you from being promoted.
Ever since you took charge of the Ministry of Political Affairs and Work, the three old men have known that you cannot be suppressed when you get promoted.
The reason why the old man and three of you prevented you from being a minister of the Ministry of Engineering is because the Ministry of Engineering has little real power.
Now that they have regained some power from the Dushui Supervisor and Sansi, it is time for a big fight.
The old man and the three are planning to let you practice in the official position of the Ministry of Engineering, and accumulate more political achievements to make up for your lack of foreign qualifications.
Then when the old man resigns as Pingzhangshi, he will use this to promote you to be a Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry.
He is in charge of the Penalty Department.
Based on your relationship with the officials, it is inevitable to enter the inner court in the future. "
Kou Ji pondered for a while, thinking about the meaning of Kou Zhun's words.
Kou Zhun’s words are easy to understand, but there are some other things in between.
For example, the lack of experience of Kou Ji's foreign appointment.
On the face of it, Kou Ji was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and then transferred to Shangshu of the Ministry of Penalty. There are not many problems.
But actually
Once Kou Ji is promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, it will inevitably become an existence that the Manchu civil and military will watch. The Manchu civil and military will seize the things that Kou Ji has no foreign experience and constantly find fault with him.
Kou Zhunruo stepped down as the chief regent.
According to the custom of the court, Kou Zhun made such a great contribution to the court, and he must be named and promoted to Kou Ji, Kou Li and his son, to show Long En.
If Kou Ji is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, then he can only enter the inner court if he goes up.
The problem is that he is not old enough and has little qualifications. Even if Zhao Zhen forcibly promoted him into the inner court, the Manchu civil and military would not agree.
Gan Luo's worship at the age of twelve occurred in the Qin Dynasty, but not in the Song Dynasty.
So there are only three roads left in front of Kou Ji.
One resignation.
An external transfer.
One transfers text to martial arts.
But no matter which one, Kou Zhun wanted to see it.
He and Wang Zeng and Li Di are now attacking violently, and they have offended countless people.
If he is dead, Li Di and Wang Zeng are also dead, and Kou Ji is outside, or he is kept in the Privy Council, wouldn't he be slaughtered
So when he learned that he could not restrict Kou Ji's promotion, he worked with Wang Zeng and Li Di to plan a complete path for Kou Ji.
Let Kou Ji honour some more qualifications and credits in the position of chief of the management department.
Then after he resigned, or died, with the court's grace, Kou Ji was transferred to the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry.
Then let Kou Ji honed in the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry for several years, mixing up his political achievements and age.
When he was old enough, Wang Zeng and Li Di would nominate him and lead him into the inner court.
In this way, there is no need to worry about anyone's seniority and age.
After Wang Zeng and Li Di died.
Kou Ji will be able to become a Ping Zhang affair. While in charge of power, he doesn't have to fear anyone, and he can protect Li, Kou, and Wang.
Kou Ji guessed Kou Zhun's mind, but did not speak.
Since the three of Kou Zhun failed to agree to his relocation as Shangshu of the Ministry of Engineering, there must be something to be said.
Otherwise Kou Zhun would never have said that sentence, Zhao Zhen was really good to him.
Kou Zhun didn't know that Kou Ji had guessed what he was thinking. He stared at Kou Ji and asked, "You can blame the old man for preventing you from being promoted to the post of Minister of Engineering."
Kou Ji spread out his hand and smiled calmly: "Is the authority in my hands different from the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?"
Kou Ji's witty remark dispelled the solemn atmosphere between the grandson and grandson.
Kou Zhun laughed aloud: "If you can think so, it won't be a waste of the old man's pains."
Kou Ji smiled and asked, "So... the official quarreled with you later?"
Kou Ji just said casually.
After all, with Zhao Zhen's identity, it is a bit inappropriate to play tricks.
Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun nodded bitterly.
"Yes! The official family quarreled with the old man. He didn't cry, shout, or roll around. It's just that the old man passed the memorial to him, and he didn't read a copy.
Not only did he not look at it, but also ignored the old man when the three of them taught him to govern. "
After a pause, Kou Zhun said: "Although the old man has not taught the official, but the official can be regarded as the old man when he grew up. The official was easy-going when he was young, and treated the old man and others with courtesy.
After getting a little older, his temper became much more benevolent, and he treated the old man and others even more favorably.
It was never impolite in front of the old man and the others, and he never stunned him in front of the old man and others.
But for your business, he abruptly seemed to have changed himself, and the three of them had sex with the old man. "
Kou Ji said suspiciously: "The official is not young anymore... and sensible... shouldn't it..."
Kou Zhun smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because he is not young and sensible, so he and the old man have a temperament, and that is the true temperament. When he is fooling around.
But when he grows up, he is still like this, which shows that he treats you sincerely.
Treat you as a brother.
It is precisely because of this that the old man will ask you if you want to rebel after learning that the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou are obedient to you. "
Kou Zhun said with a long sigh: "Over the past dynasties, ruthless emperors have been everywhere, but there are very few emperors who are affectionate and righteous. There are even fewer emperors who can treat a courtier with such a sincere heart.
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said, "When you encounter such an emperor, you should take pity on him instead of hurting him. If you have two hearts, he will definitely hurt his liver and intestines.
You don't want to hurt him, and the old man doesn't want him to be hurt either. "
What Kou Zhun said was sincere and sincere.
But Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
Zhao Zhen has a deep affection for him, and he can feel it.
It's just Kou Zhun's description and use of words, making it seem like he has something to do with Zhao Zhen.
For example, the word "Liver Chang Cun Duan"...
Kou Ji was talking trivialities in his heart, and he said in agreement: "I will definitely not hurt the officials."
Kou Zhun nodded and said, "If you are loyal all your life, the official will become a commendable gentleman. If you have two hearts, no one can predict what the official will be like."
The more Kou Zhun said, the more serious he was, but the more Kou Ji listened, the more he felt wrong.
Seeing Kou Zhun want to continue speaking, Kou Ji decisively interrupted his words and said: "Grandfather rest assured, I really have no interest in the throne. If I am interested in the throne, I will not go with Manchu. Intrigue.
Just before Zhou Huaizheng rebelled, let Zhu Neng fight the Yellow River embankment, and follow Zhou Huaizheng to lead troops into Beijing.
That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Zhou Huaizheng was able to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the imperial city.
No amount of 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhu Neng would be enough to break the imperial city.
At that time, although your authority was not as great as it is today, it was still under one person and over ten thousand people.
What you said before can also be done.
I didn't care about such a great opportunity.
Now, how can you go to great lengths to grab that cage-like throne? "
