Wang Zeng and Li Di were both speechless.
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji fiercely, and left the palace with his sleeves left.
Li Di stared at Kou Ji and said dumbfounded: "You really will defend the official..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The food of the emperor is to relieve the worries of the emperor..."
Li Di stared, pretending to be annoyed and said, "Be careful to become a slanderer..."
The smile on Kou Ji's face remained unchanged, and he still smiled and said, "Do you think the kid will do it?"
When Li Di heard this, the angry expression on his face was a little unstoppable, and he pointed at Kou Ji dumbfoundingly.
Li Di knows Kou Ji's temperament very well.
Kou Ji would occasionally slander, fooling the official Zhao Zhen to do things according to his mind.
But Kou Ji never used slander to profit himself.
Instead, they will take advantage of the opportunity to enter the slander, and work hard for the court and the people.
This alone is enough to show that Kou Ji will never become a slanderer.
As for his slander to officials, it can be regarded as a kind of wisdom in handling matters.
In many cases, good officials and slanderers are just in the middle of a thought.
By advancing slander, helping the court to profit, and helping the people profit, that's a good minister.
To profit for oneself by entering slander is a slanderer.
It seems that there is not much difference in the process, but there is a big difference in the original intention and the result.
Although knowing that Kou Ji could not become a slanderer, Li Di couldn't help but beat him.
"What your kid said today has a lot of implications and it's not easy for you to intervene. The old man and the three will discuss it carefully and will send someone to know you when they have a conclusion.
You don't want to be in the limelight, and don't be an early bird. "
Li Di seemed to be beating Kou Ji, but he was actually reminding Kou Ji to reduce his edge.
The Ministry of Industry today presented two new ploughs, which were recognized by the official Zhao Zhen and also got the opportunity to enter the Taimiao.
It can be said that there is no difference in the limelight.
The more this time, the more low-key the Ministry of Industry should be.
Kou Ji, the chief official of the Ministry of Industry, should keep a low profile.
Only in this way can the officials at the Ministry of Industry take advantage of their contributions by offering auspicious merits.
If you act high-profile, you will be targeted instead.
Ministers of civil and military affairs will use the method of picking bones in the egg to make a lot of trouble for the officials of the Ministry of Industry, impeach the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and kill the prestige of the Ministry of Industry.
The officials in the courtroom who like to do this kind of thing don't know where they are.
Wang Qinruo, the official book Shangshu, is one of the best.
Kou Ji naturally heard the deep meaning of Li Di's words, and he gave Li Di a deep salute, "Your teaching, the kid is in mind."
Li Di heard the words, stroked his beard, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Along with the old man, ride back to the city by car and sit down at the old man's house. The old man still has something to say to you."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and said in confusion, "Is it good to sit in a sedan chair?"
Li Di grabbed his beard and said quietly: "Recently, it's not suitable to sit in a sedan chair..."
Kou Ji looked at Li Di suspiciously.
Li Di put his hands on his back and sighed: "Get in the car and say..."
Kou Ji nodded and followed Li Di into the carriage.
Just sitting down.
Just listen to Li Di clicked his mouth and said: "Recently, courtiers impeached officials from North Korea and China to sit in sedan chair..."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and asked, "Take people as animals?"
Li Di was taken aback for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "You actually know about this?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "This matter was mentioned during the Taizong reign, but Taizong ignored it. When the first emperor was in power, some people also mentioned this matter. .
This is nothing new...
Why, someone mentioned this again? "
Li Di slowly nodded and sighed: "It's really nothing new... It's just that these people don't seem to know the satisfaction. After depriving the people of the power to ride the sedan chair, even the officials will also be deprived of the power to ride the sedan chair."
After a pause, Li Di looked at Kou Ji and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said, "There are good and bad things in this matter..."
"Oh?"
Li Di pinched his beard and looked at Kou Ji with a little surprise.
"how to say?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "The advantage of this move is that after abolishing the official sedan chair, the people of Song Dynasty will stand up and behave like a man, and will no longer be treated as a beast.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. "
Li Di heard the words, staring at Kou Ji and questioned: "What's the disadvantage? The old man's memorials are all listed as good. After carefully reviewing their memorials, I found that what they said was reasonable and nothing harm."
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "They want the court to abolish the official sedan chair, so naturally they won't talk about the disadvantages of this.
Li Di narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep thought, "But the old man didn't see any major harm in this move. The only downside is that after the sedan chair is abolished, the old man and the old ministers will have to go out in the future. I am afraid it will be more difficult.
But this is just the old man and others who have taken on the harm, and it didn't involve too many people. "
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Then you are wrong."
Li Di stared at Kou Ji, his eyes full of inquiries, but did not speak.
Kou Ji said with emotion: "If the court really complies with their minds and abolishes the sedan chair. I am afraid that only the officials who have written the letter can benefit from it. They will use this to gain fame and fortune.
But in fact
After the imperial court abolished taking the sedan chair, there was really no such thing as a man as a beast in the Song Dynasty? "
Kou Ji shook his head and asked and answered: "I'm afraid I can't..."
Kou Ji stared at Li Di and continued: "If the court really abolishes the sedan chair, except for those who make a profit, everyone else will be the victim. Like you, my grandfather, princes and other old officials, if not Driven by a sedan, you can only rely on carts and horses when you travel.
But some of you are already in old age. If you go out for business, ride on horses and horses, you will struggle all the way, and when you get to the place, you will fall ill first without waiting for errands.
When the time comes, how can you still have the strength to deal with the problem
The government affairs you dealt with are all major events that affect the lives of tens of thousands of people. Just to pity a few bearers, the major events that have delayed the lives of tens of thousands of people are obviously not worth the gains.
The court abolished the sedan chair, which is not a good thing for those bearers.
Those courtiers who applied for the letter only saw other courtiers driving the bearers as bulls and horses, but they did not see that it was precisely because other courtiers used the bearers as bulls and horses to drive them that they gave them a livelihood.
Let them use this to feed family after family.
Those who can be the sedan chair have some strength in their hands, and they also have some unique skills when lifting the sedan chair.
It took a long time to practice the unique skills that seemed to walk as fast as they could fly, and the water in the cup in the sedan chair was unpleasant.
It may take more than ten years for some people to practice such a unique skill.
If the court abolishes the sedan chair, the unique skills they have trained will be useless.
At the same time, you will lose your livelihood.
How can they live without a livelihood
How can the old and weak women and children of their families live
Go to the pier to fight the big bag
Or go to farm outside the city
There are tens of thousands of sedan chairmen in Bianjing.
If they rushed into the dock, can those coolies on the dock agree
At that time, I am afraid it will be one bloody fight after another.
The fertile fields outside the city are all possessed.
Do you think, who would show kindness and let their fertile fields be cultivated for them? "
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Li Di fell into contemplation.
Kou Ji knew that Li Di had listened to his words, so he said quietly, "When those courtiers were writing, did they ask the bearers who carried the sedan chair, what do they think?"
Li Di was shocked and looked at Kou Ji in disbelief.
Kou Ji looked stunned.
I don't understand why Li Di looked at him with disbelief, but he just said something very common.
Li Di stared at Kou Ji for a long time. Kou Ji's scalp was numb. When he was about to ask, he sighed faintly, and said earnestly: "Boy, you said something amazing. Tell you. The phrase'worries and worry before the world, and joy and happiness after the world' is comparable."
Kou Ji blinked, and smiled dryly: "The kid never said anything like'worry and worry about the world first, and joy after the world's happiness'."
Kou Ji had only said the phrase "worry and worry about the world first, and joy and happiness after the world", Kou Ji only said before Fan Zhongyan, the original author, and never said it to others.
Li Di suddenly said this...
Kou Ji felt that Fan Zhongyan had sold himself out 80%.
really.
After Li Di heard what Kou Ji denied, he coldly snorted: "Don't forget, you kid, Fan Zhongyan is now an official of the old man. What you said has a great impact on him. He said this sentence. The words were written in a scroll, hung on the main hall, and used to alert themselves all the time.
It's hard for the old man to just want to know. "
The lie was exposed.
Kou Ji could only bite the bullet and smiled dryly: "The kid heard it from an old man when he was young."
Li Di stared at Kou Ji with a faint smile, "Then... the old man is really a wise man..."
Kou Ji nodded without hesitation.
Li Di did not expose his lies.
Li Di asked Kou Zhun on the sidelines, what kind of scholars are there in Huazhou...
Kou Zhun's answer is simple. There are no great scholars in Huazhou, and there are no high-ranking officials who resign from official positions in Huazhou.
Then, the phrase "worry and worry before the world, and joy and happiness after the world" can not come from the mouth of others.
Ninety-nine percent is what Kou Ji said.
In order to conquer Fan Zhongyan, Kou Ji moved out of Fan Zhongyan's famous saying.
But I forgot that the corresponding famous sayings must have the corresponding status and the corresponding knowledge as the basis to be able to speak.
There are no great scholars in Huazhou, and no high-ranking officials who resign from their posts live in seclusion.
How could someone open their mouths to "worry about the world" and shut their mouths to "joy in the world".
Even if there are some survivors, they will only regard the countryside as their soul, the mountains and rivers as their soul, and the various states of the people as their bones.
Instead of using the world.
"Go home..."
Kou Ji's words had a shocking effect on Li Di.
Li Di is now full of Kou Ji's phrase'what do they want'.
There is no idle mind to hold Kou Ji to ask the bottom of the question.
The people in power have always managed politics according to their own minds.
The attitudes of those in power towards the people are surprisingly consistent.
I will give you what you need...
I think what is good for you, I should do it...
Even if the people in power do not know what the people want, they will not ask the people what they mean, but secretly guess where they are.
No one has ever asked the people what they want.
Those courtiers who had been in good clothes and food all day were tired when they saw the sedan chairmen carrying the sedan chair, as tired as a cow or horse, so they wrote to the court and asked the court to abolish the sedan chair.
They never asked those sedan chairmen whether the court abolished sedan chair.
"There should be nearly 90% of the sedan chairmen who will not agree to the court abolishing the sedan chair..."
Li Di sighed inwardly.
Li Di is not someone who does not understand the suffering of the people.
In order to avoid the wars of the Five Dynasties, Li Di's ancestor moved several times, and his ancestor's family wealth was consumed as a result. He did not settle down until shortly after Li Di was born.
At that time, the Li family was not wealthy, and Li Di had a lot of hardships with his parents and experienced many people's hardships.
So he understands the minds of the people very well.
People live first before they are qualified to pursue dignity.
If you can't live, what dignity can you talk about
…
The groom in Li's house drove to the Zhouqiao in Bianjing.
Li Di, who was silent all the way, suddenly asked the groom to stop the carriage and said to Kou Ji: "Get out of the car and go back to the house by yourself."
Kou Ji looked at Li Di in amazement, "Didn't you say you want to invite the kid to the house?"
Li Di glanced at Kou Ji, not salty and said: "The old man just remembered that there is not much food in the mansion. When you arrive at the mansion, you will definitely be invited to eat and drink. You have one more bite, the old man's grandson. The granddaughter has to be hungry.
For the old man's grandchildren, you can go home and eat.
When the old man becomes rich, I will invite you to visit the house. "
Kou Ji stared at Li Di in astonishment.
Li Di insisted on asking him to get out of the carriage.
Kou Ji did not hesitate until Li Di's carriage disappeared at the end of the street next to Zhouqiao.
A prime minister with an annual salary of tens of thousands of dollars, there is no food in the house
I'm afraid that the guests will eat too much, but the grandchildren will not eat, and they will drive the guests home halfway. Who dares to believe this
Kou Ji froze for a long time on the state bridge.
He was awakened by the loud chants from the bosses of the ship when he passed the big ship under the state bridge.
He looked at the place where Li Di had left, and said dumbfounded: "This old man, his heart has turned black... He actually left me here..."
Kou Ji shook his head.
Take a step towards the house.
Take two steps.
Feeling unhappy in my heart, he stomped his feet and said: "Hurry up, I will let Kou Zhong pull dozens of carts of food to the door of your mansion, and send porridge to those beggars to drink, see if you are ashamed or ashamed..."
"I'm furious… "
"I Kou Ji has been treated this way since I entered Bianjing city?"
"..."
"No revenge is not enough to calm my anger."
"..."
Kou Ji returned to the mansion angrily with full of malice.
When I entered the door, I just ran into the eunuch who came to deliver the decree in the palace.
