"Thank you for the official praise..."
Di Qing didn't know what Zhao Zhen meant by "different", but he bit the bullet and thanked him.
The ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of Fanbang stared at Di Qing and talked a lot.
Di Qing was like a monkey in a zoo, stared at, stared at and talked, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Younger..."
"too young… "
"Isn't it a weak crown?"
"Definitely not..."
"Then what qualifications does he have to take charge of the emperor's army?"
"..."
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs talked a lot.
Even Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng felt that Di Qing was a little young and was not enough to know the army.
Only Kou Ji and Cao Wei sat steadily and said nothing.
The former understands Di Qing's achievements in the future, while the latter understands Di Qing's current strength.
"Officials, suitable talents and Liao ambassadors are invited to fight, and there is no suitable person in the court to fight. Now that the official, your pro-army commander is entering Beijing, how about letting him try?"
Wang Qinruo stared at Di Qing, glanced at it with a smile, and proposed to Zhao Zhen.
He has a plan to try Di Qing's strength and disposition.
Zhao Zhen hesitated when he heard the words, and looked at Di Qing.
In the end, his gaze fell on Kou Ji, who had never spoken, with a look of questioning.
Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at him, Kou Ji arched his hands and said, "Officials, since the official department wants to give it a try and see if Di Qing is qualified to know the word army, then he followed his thoughts.
Di Qingnian is not very old, and he is in a high position, which will inevitably lead to impeachment.
Now is the time to test Di Qing's strength.
If he is strong enough, even if he is young, he can take on important tasks. "
Wang Qinruo was pierced by Kou Ji's words, and was not angry, but just looked at it with a smile.
Among ministers of civil and military affairs, he is not the only one who has such thoughts.
Almost everyone has plans to take a look at Di Qing's strength.
It's just that other people didn't say it, he said it.
So he doesn't need to worry, his proposal will lead to other speculations and make people infer some of his plans.
"Di Qing?!"
Kou Ji stared at Di Qing and shouted.
Di Qing held his fist to Kou Ji and said, "Di Qing, a humble post, has met Shangguan."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "The officials, as well as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, want to see your strength, you can give it a go."
"Hey..."
Di Qing slowly got up, put on a mask, and stood proudly.
Zhu You got up and stepped aside.
Kou Ji stared at the Liao country envoy on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "Just now the Liao envoy provoked and threatened that I have no one in Song Dynasty, but now I am calm, why? Afraid?"
"Huh! My Daliao warrior, how can I be afraid of the Song people."
"Hock Terrace! Go, take off that man's head and dedicate it to the officer."
"..."
A burly Liao man stood up to make a fist, beat his chest, and walked in front of Di Qing with his head high.
"Song people... kneel down... kowtow... admit defeat... I don't need to break your neck..."
The Song dialect of the Liao man was not very standard, so he squatted when he spoke.
Di Qing stared at the Liao man with scorching eyes, and said with some excitement: "If you want to fight, you will shoot, and you will retreat to the side without a fight."
The Liao man was full of anger and said coldly: "Song man... You are a big Liao warrior in Xiaoxun..."
Kou Ji watched as Di Qing and the Liao man were talking ruthlessly to each other, and said to the Liao envoy: "Fighting with bare hands has always lost a bit of blood. How about they use their weapons?"
Upon hearing the words, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom was taken aback for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face, "Life or death?"
Kou Ji nodded, "Life or death..."
The Liao envoy had confidence in the Liao man he sent out, and Kou Ji also had confidence in Di Qing.
"Get the knife..."
A machete was delivered to the hands of the Liao man.
The Liao man held the knife, and suddenly it became a little different.
Without a knife, he is like a beast.
With a knife, he is like a bloodthirsty beast.
There was some sturdy and murderous aura on his body.
Kou Ji sent someone out of the temple and brought Di Qing's weapon.
A heavy gun.
Di Qing is holding a heavy gun and wearing his dark armor, it looks even thicker.
"Huh..."
The Liao people who got the machete were not vague, and slashed towards Di Qing with the knife.
Di Qing raised a heavy gun to block.
"Dangdangdang..."
One offense and one defense, the two fought several times.
The Liao man was not weak in martial arts, and his knives were swift and sharp.
As long as Di Qing was negligent, the Liao man could take his life with a single stab.
After seeing the martial arts of the Liao man, the people in the hall who had hope for Di Qing looked a lot more solemn.
Even Kou Ji has more solemn eyes.
Only Cao Wei looked at Di Qing in a daze.
Di Qing and the Liao man fought again.
Seeing that Di Qing was only defending but not attacking, Cao Wei groaned a little, and said in a heavy voice, "You still don't want to take action?"
Although Di Qing has always been on the defensive side, Cao Wei really sees his martial arts level.
After all, Di Qing's martial arts all originated in the Cao Mansion.
Half of them were taught by him.
The other half should be taught by his unruly niece.
He has never taught Di Qing to use a heavy gun.
Heavy guns are his elder brother's martial arts.
Apart from him in the house, only his niece would.
Cao Wei knew exactly how powerful the heavy gun was.
When Di Qing heard Cao Wei's call, he knew that he could no longer keep his hand.
Immediately, the heavy gun in his hand turned and swept out.
The Liao man raised a knife to block.
The heavy spear in Di Qing's hand slammed into the scimitar of the Liao man.
The Liao man trembled a few times, and the scimitar in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Good strength..."
The Liao man looked at Di Qing in surprise and exclaimed.
Di Qing didn't say anything, the heavy gun in his hand steadily pierced out and pierced the Liao man's throat.
After being blocked by the Liao man, he prodded it along the shoulder of the Liao man.
He took away a piece of flesh on the shoulder of the Liao man.
The Liao man seemed to be aroused by the male, gave up the defense, held a machete, and attacked bravely.
It seems that he intends to exchange his injury for his injury, drag Di Qing down, and kill Di Qing.
Seeing this, Cao Wei frowned.
The horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of death.
Although Di Qing's Wuyi is not weak, the Liao man is not an ordinary man.
He now gave up his defense and chose to exchange injuries with Di Qing. Even if Di Qing wins, he can only win miserably.
however.
When Kou Ji saw that the Liao man gave up his defense, he was taken aback and then grinned.
He slowly lay on the back of the chair, no longer worrying about Di Qing.
"when… "
The man from the Liao forcibly endured the pain of being hit by Di Qing's heavy gun, and strenuously cut the scimitar in his hand to Di Qing's waist.
There was a sound of collision between gold and iron.
The Manchu civil and military, Fanbang envoys, and royal family members were all taken aback.
The scimitar in the hands of the Liao man turned into a real scimitar.
The scimitar was folded up from the center and turned into an angle.
On the armor of Di Qing's body, only a shallow mark was exposed.
In the shocked eyes of the Liao man, Di Qing withdrew the heavy gun and slammed it on the head of the Liao man.
The Liao man's eyes widened and he fell to the ground.
For an instant.
Several people stood up.
Qi Qi asked Di Qing.
"What armor are you wearing?"
Di Qing's armor is a good thing. The scimitar in the hands of the Liao man is not a mortal thing, but a scimitar made of iron.
If it is cut on the armor, it is enough to break the armor pieces of the armor and cause damage to the pawns.
But it was just such a scimitar that only left a shallow mark on Di Qing's armor.
At this moment, no one paid attention to the life and death of the Liao man, their eyes all fell on Di Qing's armor.
The same is true for the envoys of Liao.
Di Qing handed the heavy gun to Zhu You and asked him to take out the palace, but did not answer.
Instead, he said to Zhao Zhen: "The minister does not humiliate his mission..."
Zhao Zhen was also attracted by Di Qing's armor. He stared at Di Qing's armor and said, "That's not bad... I look back and have a lot of rewards... First, give me, and all the Aiqings, tell me about your armor... Could it be Not a mortal thing?"
Di Qing arched his hands and said: "If you return to the official house, this armor was made by the craftsmen of the Kou Mansion. Whether it is a mortal thing or not, the minister doesn't know. The minister only knows that this armor is far harder than the stepper armor, but it is also lighter than the stepper armor. "
With a word from Di Qing, everyone in the hall focused on Kou Ji.
Kou Ji hummed softly as everyone watched.
Everyone in the hall looked at Kou Ji's expressions differently.
Some people who were peeping in their hearts instantly lost interest in the armor on Di Qing.
There are many good things in Kou Mansion, but none of them are very interesting.
Some envoys who have friendship with Kou Mansion looked at Kou Ji with scorching eyes.
The eyes of the young mansion, the chief supervisor who will serve as the two prisoners, and the young supervisor staring at Kou Ji were full of enthusiasm.
Kou Ji looked at his nose, his nose at his heart, his face was indifferent, and he said nothing.
It's not time to say it yet.
We have to let this matter continue to ferment.
Let the steel arouse everyone's attention and prying eyes.
At that time, it was time for him to use steel to make a big harvest.
"Ahem... The old official thought that these skills should be dedicated to the court, and then handed over to the young mansion by the court, who will be in charge of the two supervisors."
Wang Qinruo gave a light cough and offered to offer.
The Shaofu and Jiang will serve as two prisons, and Wensiyuan and other Yamen chief officials all nodded in unison.
Kou Ji smiled and asked, "How does the court plan to reward people who have presented their skills?"
The chief supervisor of the Shaofu Supervisor said loudly: "According to the rules of the court, those who offer skills should be bestowed officials and money. Officials can only be awarded seven grades and no more than one million.
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "That's difficult... The craftsman in my house, I'm afraid he won't show off his skills."
Wang Qinruo said indifferently: "If you are a local craftsman, you are eligible to negotiate terms with the court."
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "What if it's not a craftsmanship?"
The Shaofu Supervisor hurriedly said, "Are you a servant? If the servants of the Kou Mansion offer their skills, then the court will naturally not lose the rewards of the Kou Mansion."
The others nodded after hearing what the Shaofu Supervisor said.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Then if his identity is An Xingbo... What about the head of the Hooking Department?"
For an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces froze.
The faces of Wang Qinruo and Shaofu Jianjian were flushed with shame for an instant.
They can oppress the craftsmen, and they can oppress the servants of the Kou Mansion.
But how can they be qualified to oppress Kou Ji
Since it was the technique Kou Ji had researched himself, in his capacity, if he didn't voluntarily donate it, no one would have a temper.
After being disturbed by Kou Ji, Wang Qinruo and others, the banquet on New Year's Eve lost its original taste.
The people in the temple ate their food without taste.
After the meal, with the court's year-end award, he left the palace with all his heart.
Di Qing and Zhu You were sent out of Bianjing in advance before the night banquet ended.
The tiger soldiers outside the city still need their restraint.
After Kou Ji left the night banquet, carrying his hands on his back, he was stopped by a group of people who had been waiting in front of Donghua Gate for a long time as soon as he left the Donghua Gate.
Headed by Gao Chugong and Cao Wei.
Cao Wei saw Kou Ji and said straightforwardly: "Is the armor on Di Qing made of iron?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Yes... and not..."
Cao Wei hurriedly asked: "What the hell is that?"
Kou Ji glanced around at the martial arts, and said, "That's a new material researched by the craftsmen of Kou Mansion, how can I tell you so easily?"
I told you, how can I make a fortune through them? "
Gao Zhugong stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "How much money do you need to buy the new material in your mouth?"
Wu Xun paid more attention to the emergence of steel than the civil servants.
Especially Kou Ji also made steel into armor.
After seeing the defensive power of armor made of steel, they paid more attention to it.
Although the Wuxuns are greedy for money, they have been drinking the blood of soldiers.
But it does not mean that they do not pay attention to military equipment.
On the contrary, they should be the group of people who paid the most attention to military equipment in the Song Dynasty.
Because they all started with soldiers and horses, and they also gained a foothold in the court.
There are many of them who go out of Beijing every year to fight for the court.
While they were drinking the blood of soldiers, they still kept one or two elite soldiers in their hands.
That is the basis for their survival.
"How much money?"
Kou Ji smiled knowingly when he heard Gao Chugong's plan to pay for the purchase, "The value... It's not high, it's several times lower than the iron purchased from overseas by the court.
Only a little bit more expensive than ordinary iron..."
When the Wuxun heard this, their eyes lit up.
One by one stared at Kou Ji scorchingly.
Gao Chu Gong immediately opened his mouth to place high orders.
But Kou Ji smiled brightly before he spoke: "But I... don't sell!"
For an instant.
The Wuxun's faces turned black.
One by one stared, looking at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji said with an innocent look: "Why stare at me? My Kou Mansion is not short of money, and I have no plans to make money lately. I am still too busy with the Ministry of Engineering. How can I deal with those new materials? ."
Gao Zi Gong stared at him, and shouted, "You won't give me the face of waiting?"
Kou Ji smiled dryly, and said: "Everyone is an official in the same court. I will naturally give you your face... Or else, I think of a way to get a new set of armor for you alone
Hmm... One or two materials and one or two gold... How? "
