First cut off Coulee's hope of continuing to get promoted, so that others could not use Coulee by official means, and then seek other things.
The grandfather and grandson have a plan.
Smile at each other.
Kou Zhun did not feel guilty in the future.
Kou Ji did not blame himself for cheating.
It seems... everything should be like this.
Poor Coulee didn't even know that he was pitted by his father and his son.
At this moment, he was hiding in the room, covering his face with his sleeve, not knowing how to face Kou Ji again.
Finally found an opportunity to show off his ability to be a father in front of Kou Ji, but unexpectedly, he was beaten in the face by the speed of light.
Still being watched by so many people.
How can he have a face to meet the people up and down in Kou Mansion.
Kou Li hid in the room until the evening, under the comfort of Joe's, went out of the room and reached the main hall.
In the main hall.
The cook of Kou's Mansion cooked a table of hearty dishes.
Kou Zhun sat on the head.
Kou Ji sat with him on his right, and Xiang Yan sat at the bottom of Kou Ji.
Kou Li entered the main hall with an awkward expression, and laughed at Kou Ji and Xiang Yan, but did not dare to look directly at them.
After the ceremony, Kou Li smiled and took Qiao, sitting on Kou Zhun's left.
Seeing Qiao sitting down, Kou Zhun frowned slightly.
Qiao's heart was lifted in an instant, and his face was a little panicked.
Kou Li didn't see the expressions of the two of them. He kept a close eye on the expressions of Kou Ji and Xiang Yan.
I was afraid of a mocking look on his two faces.
Then he really won't live.
He will be ashamed to death.
Kou Ji watched Kou Li take Joe to sit down with a playful smile on his lips.
Qiao is obviously smarter than Coli, and Qiao can see clearly many things that Couli can't expect and can't see.
If Joe hadn't tossed his youth when he was young, he might not be able to see Kou Li.
Kou Ji's eyes fell behind Qiao's. When the maid who was holding a little doll in her arms, the playfulness of the corners of her mouth disappeared, and she was replaced by a helpless look.
Anyone who is approaching the Double Decade, with a little older brother, will be helpless.
Kou Ji's eyes noticed the little baby.
Kou Zhun naturally noticed.
Kou Zhun took a second look at the baby's swaddling, and said faintly: "Eat..."
When Joe heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.
She knew that Kou Zhun had passed the test.
Kou Zhun didn't embarrass her because of her contribution to Kou Mansion, and assumed that she had become Kou Li's wife.
But this does not mean that she is qualified to act as the mistress of Kou Mansion.
But she didn't care.
She clearly knew her status and never wanted to fight for the power of the mistress of Kou Mansion in the past.
With an identity, she is very satisfied.
In the future, if her son grows up, with the protection of his grandfather's Yu Wei and the care of his brother, he will surely live a life of prosperity and peace.
The family gathered around the table and ate silently.
After eating, I cleared the table and served tea before talking.
Kou Zhun was holding his teacup and staring at Kou Li, and said indifferently, "After the beginning of spring next year, you can go to know Leizhou..."
"Leizhou?"
Kou Li's eyes widened in astonishment.
What is Leizhou? That is the place where North Korean and Chinese officials made mistakes and were demoted.
Sparsely populated.
The land is barren.
There is not much political achievement to mix.
Generally, officials demoted to Leizhou will die in Leizhou for the rest of their lives.
"Father... I'm staying in Jingzhao Mansion well, why should I go to Leizhou? Is that the place where the crime officer was issued?"
Coley hurriedly said.
Kou Zhun glanced at him and said coldly: "If you don't want to go to Leizhou, then go to Shamen Island..."
When Couli heard this, he panicked.
Leizhou is sparsely populated, the land is barren, there is no political achievement, no good food, no good clothes, it is really bad.
Compared to Shamen Island, Leizhou is a paradise on earth.
Sammon Island is where the prisoners are dispatched.
A group of criminals, piled on an isolated island, what good place can it be
There are rumors that people cannibalism on Salmon Island are very common.
Kou Li naturally didn't dare to go.
Kou Li didn't care about Kou Ji's side, and wailed: "Father, what on earth did the child make wrong, do you want to deal with the child like this?"
Joe opened his mouth and wanted to talk.
But did not dare to speak out.
Kou Zhun snorted coldly and shouted: "Because you are stupid!"
Kou Zhun's face was black and waved his hand to let the servants, maids, Kou Liji and others who were waiting in the main hall go out first.
Then, facing the dazed Kou Li, he continued, "I have been calculated, but I still don't know. I also ran to the old man with complacency to show off your little sixth-rank official position.
Based on your style and achievements, what do you think you have the qualifications to be promoted to the sixth grade official in just half a year
Like Ji'er, have you done anything for the country and the people, or something earth-shattering? "
Hearing this, Kou Li looked a little ugly, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
Kou Zhun continued: "No! Not at all! The old lady sent someone to check all your administrative records after you became an official, and it was useless. You are obviously useless, but you are promoted repeatedly. Can't you just use your mind and think about it. See if there is something tricky behind this
Or a letter to ask the old man or Ji Er to see if we helped you get promoted
You didn't do anything, you didn't think about anything.
You just hold your official seal of the sixth grade, where are you complacent.
Then he took bribes aggressively. "
"Boom!"
Kou Zhun became more and more angry, slapped the table and shouted: "If it weren't for the deterrence of the old man and Ji'er, you would have been swallowed by others long ago, including the bones and scum."
Hearing Kou Zhun's words, Kou Li's face flushed, and he whispered in a shy and annoyed voice: "Baby... How can the child be as unbearable as you said."
Kou Zhun raised his eyes, blows his beard angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "You are stupid, but you have no self-knowledge. If Ji'er didn't help you, the old man would expel you three years ago in Tianxi. The gate of the house is gone."
Kou Li stared in amazement and looked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji pursed his mouth and said nothing.
What Kou Zhun said now was similar to what Kou Ji planned to talk to Kou Li in private.
Now that Kou Zhun has helped him speak, he doesn't need to speak any more.
"Then Wu Ming, Brother Wu Xian, a nest of snakes and rats, calculated you, and turned you around. In the end, you didn't know that you were fooled, and regarded people as close friends. If Ji Er showed up in time, take it back. Rhino belt.
The old man is inevitably impeached, and you are inevitably driven out of the house by the old man. "
Kou Zhun shouted angrily.
Kou Li was stunned and said, "That's just an ordinary gift..."
"To shut up!"
Kou Zhun shouted angrily, "Ordinary imperial gift? Ordinary imperial gift, even if you sell it, can the old man punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall for a month?"
Kou Ji groaned, and said, "That rhino belt is the rhino belt made by Taizong who received the Panbang tribute to pass the sky. There are two in total. One has followed Taizong into the mausoleum, and the other is in his grandfather. Hands.
The Neifu has been thinking about it all the time, carrying some relations.
It's not an ordinary gift. "
Kou Li opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word.
Kou Zhun flicked his sleeves angrily, and continued to yell: "As for the stupid things you did when you worked in Huazhou and Xinping, the old man didn't bother to say."
Kou Li kept his mouth open and said nothing.
He didn't know what to say, his mind was dizzy, as if thunder and lightning were constantly flickering in his mind.
Kou Zhun's words hit him hard.
Destroyed most of the cognition he had built for many years in an instant.
It makes it difficult for him to adapt.
Seeing Kou Li like this, Kou Zhun seemed to realize that his words were serious, so he no longer scolded, but coldly snorted, and said, "I want you to go to Leizhou to protect you and protect Kou Mansion.
Lest one day, Kou Mansion will fall into the eternal disaster because of your involvement. "
Finish this sentence.
Kou Zhun tossed his sleeves and left the main hall.
After Kou Zhun left, Kou Ji slowly got up, arched his hands to Kou Li and Qiao, and withdrew from the main hall.
Kou Li was stunned for a long time in the main hall, and when night fell, there was some expression in his eyes.
He looked at Joe with a dull gaze, and said, "I... really stupid?"
Joe looked hesitant.
In her heart, Coley was the hero who saved her from danger.
But it doesn't mean that she didn't know the various stupid deeds Cole had done in Bianjing.
The stupid things that Kou Li did in Bianjing City before are known to all the troubles in the city.
As early as when she first arrived in Bianjing City, she had already inquired about what Kou Li had done in Bianjing City from the servants of Kou Mansion.
At that time, she learned that Cole was actually not suitable for being an official.
But she did not tell Coley.
Because Kou Li has a powerful father and a capable son.
Even if you sit on a mediocre official, you can still sit firmly on the official position with the help of Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's credit.
Even the official position gets higher and higher.
Now facing Kou Li's questioning, she didn't know whether to tell the truth or tell the lie.
To tell the truth, Kou Li, who was afraid of blows, was devastated.
Telling lies, I was afraid that Coulee would hear him out, and he would be hit harder.
Joe was hesitating.
Coulee knew the answer through her reaction.
His stupidity is simply because he is not good at scheming and is too simple.
It doesn't mean that he is a fool.
"I know… "
Kou Li murmured a word, slowly got up, and walked out of the main hall like a walking corpse.
"Sang Gong..."
Qiao hurriedly got up and called out anxiously.
But Coley didn't seem to hear her voice the same.
Out of the main hall, he walked all the way to the door of his bedroom, closed the door, and was stuck in the house alone.
Qiao followed in Coley's footsteps and went outside the bedroom door, shouting several times, but did not call to open the door.
In the end, he could only walk away angrily.
She felt that Coley might need to be quiet at this time.
the other side.
In Kou Zhun's study.
Kou Ji stood in front of Kou Zhun and sighed: "Grandfather, in fact, what you said just now can be more euphemistic."
Kou Zhun lay halfway on the back of the chair and snorted coldly: "Beat the drum, you need a heavy hammer. You don't need a heavy hammer to make no noise. The old man not only wants to wake him up, but also to make him remember.
Let him do things later, think twice before acting. "
Speaking of this, Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said angrily: "Isn't the old man doing this for you? Are you embarrassed to blame the old man? With the old man's current age, I'm afraid he won't be an official for a few years.
Even if your father is calculated, he will only affect the old man once or twice.
You are different. Although your official position is no longer low, your foundation is still shallow.
Waiting for the old man a hundred years later, your father will become a big trouble for you.
The old man saw this too, so he scolded him severely. "
Kou Ji was slightly taken aback when he heard Kou Zhun's words.
He saluted Kou Zhun deeply and said, "Thank you grandfather for planning for me."
How can he not feel Kou Zhun's hard work and his performance is so obvious
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and said, "The old man is just you, a grandson. If you don't plan for you, for whom?"
Kou Ji grinned.
Kou Zhun waved his hand and said, "Come over and tell the old man, what you plan to plan for entering Beijing through the tiger army, the old man will help you refer to the details."
Kou Ji smiled, "Do you really want to know?"
Kou Zhun also grinned, and pointed to Kou Ji and said, "The old man knows, your kid has a bad idea in his stomach."
Kou Ji stepped forward and shared with Kou Zhun his purpose of dispatching the Tiger Army to Beijing.
Kou Ji's plan is far-reaching, but one or two sentences can't make it clear.
After Kou Ji had told Kou Zhun about his plan, it was late at night.
…
A few days later.
Until New Year's Eve, Kou Li hid in the room and did not come out.
The Qiao family had contacted Kou Li several times, but did not persuade Kou Li to leave the room, so he had to ask Kou Ji to persuade him.
It wasn't until Kou Zhun appeared that Kou Li walked out of the room obediently.
It's just that the words have become less, and people have become a lot more silent.
Seeing that Couli came out of the door, Kou Ji stopped paying attention to him.
New Year's Eve fell, but he had a lot of things to be busy.
Take care of the servants in the house, give them rewards, and let them return home.
Prepare New Year goods and gifts.
Collect and count the income of Vientiane House and Vientiane Pawn Shop.
Visiting colleagues, best friends, and old days, or in place of Kou Zhun, visit Kou Zhun's best friends and old days.
Busy people can't get along.
I stayed busy until New Year's Eve and then stopped.
New Year's Eve.
I ate a little bit with my family, and after giving out the New Year's money.
Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors and grandsons changed into court uniforms and rushed to the palace for a banquet.
The etiquette and the procedures for visiting the palace are the same as last year.
The difference is that the tableware used for the night banquet in the palace has changed from gold and silver to porcelain made in Jingdezhen.
The seat of the Xixia envoys in the palace was placed after Dali...
The seat of the Qingtang envoy, one forward...
The seating order of the Uighurs in Ganzhou is also true...
The Liao people seem to have forgotten the scene of Kou Ji’s bloody palace before, jumped out as always, and began to provoke...
It seems that provoking Da Song has become a way of communication and courtesy.
It just didn't come out to challenge.
It was not that there was no one in the Song Dynasty, nor was it that the Song Dynasty was afraid of the Liao people, but when the Liao people jumped out to provoke.
The sound of thundering horses' hoofs slowly sounded from far to near.
Attracted everyone's attention.
