The eunuch was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen, with triangular eyes, white face and no beard, wearing a gauze hat, and a soap dress. When looking at people, he arched his waist and smiled.
"Ministry of Kou Industry, our family has come to tell you the order of the inner court."
Kou Ji paused and stood at the door, slightly surprised: "The will of the inner court?"
The eunuch smiled and nodded and said, "The Ministry of Industry, which is under the control of the Kou Ministry of Industry, has presented auspiciousness today. The court has rewards. The officials of the Ministry of Industry will be promoted to one level and give millions of dollars.
While speaking, the eunuch took out a yellow scroll from his sleeve and held it over his head with both hands.
Kou Ji's face straightened, he bowed to Huang Juan and took Huang Juan from the eunuch.
Kou Jilai was not surprised by such a less formal way of delivering the decree.
This is mostly true when the court promotes courtiers with false titles and is unwilling to make a loud noise.
Kou Ji took the yellow scroll in his hand, and suddenly remembered what Li Di had warned him outside the city, and muttered in a low voice, "Although the old man has a dark heart, he can understand the disposition of the officials in the hall. …"
The Ministry of Industry presented two types of ploughs. Not only did the imperial court not give a loud reward, but also gave some false titles, added a little salary, and was perfunctory. Eighty percent were related to those courtiers who were jealous of the Ministry's merits.
It must be those courtiers who followed Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others back to the palace, saying something on the way back to the palace.
Kou Ji opened the yellow scroll and looked at it, as expected.
His false title was increased by one level, and he was rewarded with millions of dollars. Apart from that, there was no other content.
Kou Ji put away the yellow scroll, curled his lips, and laughed mockingly in his heart.
"When the virtual title was added to the top, I just don't know what kind of reward the court will give after the Ministry of Industry will give auspiciousness..."
Kou Ji has countless skills that benefit the country and the people. Even if the court rewards him in this perfunctory way, he can stack the virtual title to the highest point in a very short time...
Of course, even if Kou Ji offered a lot of auspiciousness in the future, the court could not allow him to stack the virtual title to the highest point.
Perhaps at the beginning, officials will be increased, but in the end, it is very likely that nothing more will be left than pure money rewards.
But whether it was a false title or money, Kou Ji didn't care much.
Kou Ji put away the yellow scroll, and seeing the eunuch standing aside with a smile, he questioned: "What else is the father-in-law?"
The eunuch stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "Kou Industry Department, our family has worked so hard for the official's house. We can't run for nothing, right?"
Kou Ji raised his brows and stared at the eunuch meaningfully.
A little eunuch, demanding bribes from him
Is it too long
Still have ulterior motives
The eunuch was also asking for bribes for the first time. After seeing Kou Ji’s meaningful gaze, he inevitably felt a little flustered. The smile on his face was slightly stiff and said: "Kou Industry Department, even if our family goes to Cao Shumi’s mansion to post an order, Cao Shumi I won't let our family run away in vain."
The eunuch felt that Cao used a far higher rank and status than Kou Ji.
Cao Lishang wanted to take the initiative to send money to bribe him, and he asked Kou Ji for some bribes, which was nothing.
When Kou Ji heard the eunuch's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and he thought about it for a while, then turned around and ordered the servant at the gate of the mansion to take some money back to the mansion and hand it to the eunuch.
Kou Ji's shots are very generous, with five golden leaves in one shot.
The eunuch held the golden leaf and almost jumped up without excitement.
"The Kou Industry Department is really very human, and the response has been different... Guo knows that he will not get such a big reward when he goes to Cao's Mansion now."
The eunuch received a heavy reward, and his mouth naturally became a lot sweeter, and some of the Xin Mis circulating among the eunuchs in the palace also spoke out without hesitation.
The speaker is unintentional.
The listener intends.
The eunuch's words, Kou Ji remembered every word in his heart.
After sending the eunuch away, Kou Ji was thinking about the eunuch's words secretly.
After the eunuch had left, the door at the door unwillingly stared at the place where the eunuch had left and took a sip.
"Young master, a thing that has no eggs, dare to ask you for bribes openly, without putting you in your eyes... If you are a master, you must be thrown out by someone, and you actually paid him back the money..."
Kou Ji was thinking about the eunuch's words, and was suddenly interrupted by the door's yelling. He looked at the door with a little unwillingness, and asked, "What do you think I shouldn't do?"
The door was taken aback, and hurriedly apologized: "How dare the villain..."
After a pause, the door added in a low voice, "The villain just feels that with your identity and the status of a master, you can't make your head bow in front of an eggless thing."
Kou Ji snorted twice, "Who said I lowered my head? I just thought he could provide me with some useful information, so he followed his mind.
Facts have proved that the money I spent is very valuable, and the information he provided to me far exceeds the money I rewarded him. "
The door lowered his head and said in a low voice: "But if this happens, others will think you are a bully..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I need to care about a dead person?"
The door looked up in amazement, staring at Kou Ji, "Dead...dead..."
"Otherwise? The money given to him is just enough to buy him a good coffin."
Kou Ji finished saying this angrily, no longer explained, and entered the palace with his hands on his back.
After waiting for Kou Ji to enter the mansion, the door waited for a long time to come back to his senses, and then stomped with excitement, and said, "I know... the young master is definitely not an angry person."
Soon.
The door stared at the place where the eunuch had left, and hummed: "My Kou Mansion's money is not that easy to blackmail. If you take my Kou Mansion's money, you have to pay your life."
Kou Ji was too lazy to guess the mind of the door.
On the way back to the palace, Kou Ji analyzed a lot of useful news through the eunuch's words.
Empress Dowager Liu E seems to be restless after being imprisoned.
It seems that Guo Huai has been dispatched, and he has been to Cao Utilizing Mansion more than once.
What did the queen mother Liu E plan to use Cao to use, Kou Ji couldn't analyze it only with the eunuch's little news.
But Guo Huai seemed to be restless while helping the Queen Mother Liu E on errands.
Cao should be used many times to solicit bribes.
Cao took advantage of the confidant of Liu E as the Queen Mother, and was bribed by the other confidant of the Queen Mother Liu E. He could only knock off his teeth and swallow in his stomach.
He could not punish Guo Huai, nor could he ask Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun to help him decide.
He is the Queen Mother Liu E, and it has almost become a well-known thing.
In the eyes of Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun and others, the people of Queen Mother Liu E bullied Queen Mother Liu E's people, that belonged to the fight in the nest.
Kou Zhun and the others are eager to see Liu E’s people fighting to the death, so how can they go to help the Queen Mother Liu E’s people be fair
It is no wonder that when Kou Ji saw Cao Xiu in recent days, Cao Xiu was always frowning and depressed.
Dare to love In recent days, Cao Liu has been in a state of being squeezed by Guo Huai.
"I just don't know how long Cao can resist under Guo Huai's squeeze..."
Kou Ji sighed casually, and no longer took the matter to heart. Instead, the matter of the queen mother Liu E doing small actions behind his back was more worthy of his attention.
Kou Ji arrived at the gate of Sijun Garden, and did not rush in.
Instead, he dispatched the steward of the inner palace to find Uncle Fu who was swilling.
Fu Bo bowed his waist and swayed to the gate of Sijun Garden. He bowed to Kou Ji and said bluntly: "The Kou Industry Department is going to find a villain to spread the word?"
Kou Ji knew the identity of Fu Bo clearly, and Fu Bo naturally didn't need to hide it in front of Kou Ji.
In the old days.
When Kou Ji needs to send a message to the palace in private, he will find Uncle Fu.
Now that Kou Ji has contacted Fu Bo again, Fu Bo naturally knew that Kou Ji was looking for him to spread the word.
Kou Ji nodded intently, and said: "Help me pass a word to Chen Lin..."
"Duke Chen?"
Forber was taken aback for a moment.
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a problem?"
An ugly smile squeezed out of Fu Bo's old face, and he whispered: "The villain was just amazed. You rarely talk to Chen Gong on weekdays..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Go back and tell Chen Lin that the person who went to Kou's Mansion to preach an order today asked me for a bribe, and I gave it."
Kou Ji stretched out a slap and exaggeratedly said: "Five golden leaves are not a small sum..."
Fu Bo's muddy eyes cleared slightly, and his smile on his face remained unchanged. "Someone dared to ask for bribes from the Supreme Master's Mansion. The villain has also gained insight..."
Fu Bo was also a person in the palace before, knowing that the eunuchs in the palace were very greedy when they went out on business with the support of the heavenly family behind them.
It's just that the eunuchs are greedy and greedy, but they know how to measure.
Who can be greedy for money, and who can't be greedy for money, all know in their hearts.
Like the court of Kou Mansion, like Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestor and grandson's authority, and the importance of the grandson and grandson in the hearts of officials, their money must not be greedy.
Even if Kou Zhun and Kou Ji ancestors and grandsons took the initiative to send money and bribes, the eunuchs had to think about it or not to see if they could afford it, let alone ask for bribes.
When Kou Zhun was playing awe-inspiring in the palace, there were not one hundred eunuchs killed, but eighty.
There are still people who don't have a long memory. It's really foolish to go to his mansion to ask for bribes.
Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "I have also learned... This person should be under Chen Lin's control, but he knows some of Guo Huai's Xin Mi... Zi Zi Zi..."
Kou Ji's words are over.
Uncle Fu frowned when he heard it, and bowed in a salute.
"If the Kou Industry Department has no other orders, the villain will retire first."
There are so many eunuchs in the palace, and occasionally one or two stupid people who do not know whether to live or die are also normal.
After all, since the eunuchs have cut off the roots of their descendants, their xinxing has become different from that of people. There are always eunuchs with extreme dispositions who do things that are too stupid for their purpose.
Fubo can understand and deal with it calmly.
But the people around Chen Lin walked too close to Guo Huai, and Fu Bo couldn't calm down.
Kou Ji saw that Fubo was anxious to leave, but did not stop him.
He shook his head slightly.
Fubo saluted again and hurriedly left Kou Mansion.
Kou Ji smiled knowingly looking at Fubo's leaving back.
If he hadn't expected it to be bad, the eunuch who asked him for bribes at the gate of the mansion just now would definitely die miserably.
If the eunuch was just greedy for money, Chen Lin might not do anything to him.
But the eunuch got too close with Guo Huai.
Then Chen Lin couldn't tolerate him.
Kou Ji smashed a lifeless thing casually, returned to the Sijun Garden contentedly, had a meal with Xiang Yan, and chatted for a while in the garden.
At night, wait for Xiang Yan to fall asleep.
He got up again, went to the study, and sent someone to find Kou Zhong.
After Kou Zhong arrived in Kou Ji's study room, he bowed and said, "The old servant has seen the young master. I don't know if the young master summons the old servant to come over late at night, what's the point?"
Kou Ji said deeply, "How many people are available in the mansion?"
Kou Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and questioned: "The young master is talking about the person in charge of inquiring about the news?"
Kou Ji summoned him to the study in the middle of the night, and obviously wanted to order him to do something shameful.
To do shameful things, it is natural to need those shameless people to do it.
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.
Kou Zhong said: "There are not many people in the mansion who are responsible for inquiring about the news. If the young master needs to inquire about the news, it can be used if it is not widely involved. If the involvement is too large, the young master will have to borrow talents from the Zhu mansion. "
Kou Ji frowned slightly when he heard the words.
Seeing this, Kou Zhong hurriedly explained: "Master has always been in a high position, and the news of the Imperial City Department is freely available, so he didn't raise too many ears."
Kou Ji nodded intently, "The news I need to inquire about is not widely involved, but the other party's identity is noble and needs to be very secretive. Since the people in the house rarely go out to inquire about news, they should all be shy; Can be used.
Let the people in the mansion first inquire about it. If the people in the mansion are not good, I will look for someone to borrow from Zhu Neng. "
Kou Zhong nodded, and said, "Young Master, please give me orders."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "I need you to send someone to find out what the Queen Mother, Liu Mei, and Guo Huai are doing in recent days, who they are dealing with and where they have been. You must find out for me."
"Queen Mother?"
Kou Zhong stared in amazement.
Kou Ji nodded solemnly.
Kou Zhong secretly surprised: "Is the Queen Mother going to revive?"
Kou Ji pondered: "It's still uncertain for the time being, but the queen mother's heart has never been extinguished. We must take precautions before they happen."
Kou Zhong nodded heavily, "The old servant understands."
After a pause, Kou Zhong looked at Kou Ji and asked, "Then do you want to tell the master about this matter?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Don't tell my grandfather for now."
Kou Ji thought about it carefully.
feel.
It is better for Kou Zhun not to know about this.
As Kou Zhun, if he deliberately pays attention to the Queen Mother Liu E, he will be regarded as having two hearts.
Not only will it lead to suspicion, but it will also startle, but it is not beautiful.
It is more appropriate for him to investigate secretly by himself.
Kou Zhong thought for a while, and probably understood Kou Ji's intentions, and immediately handed over: "The old servant understands, the old servant will send someone to inquire about the news."
Kou Ji reminded: "Remember! Be concealed! Even if you can't find out the news, you can't let people discover that it's the news that our mansion is inquiring about the Queen Mother and others."
