The scenery in spring is always very Yiren, whether it is to watch the willows along the river or to walk in spring on the prosperous platform, it is a good place to go.
People can always feel the vitality in the endless spring scenery.
Invite three or five friends, bring a pot of turbid wine, sit on the ground, watching the spring scenery, accompanied by the breeze, drinking and having fun, it is very pleasant.
The irritability that has been suppressed for a winter will disappear in an instant.
It's just that Kou Ji didn't have the thoughts of going to spring. He stayed in the house, enjoying Xiang Yan pinching his shoulders and legs for him, tasting fragrant tea, and seeing the spring scenery in the whole garden, it was enough.
In fact, Kou Ji is not without the thought of going to spring, but Cao Tong and Liu Heng are not in Bianjing. Xiang Yan can only accompany him for an hour or two every day at the mansion. It is impossible to spend a day with him on the spring. He went out to enjoy the spring by himself, a bit dull.
Xiang Minzhong’s body and bones seem to be infected with the vitality of the spring. After the beginning of spring, he has actually improved a lot. After Xiang Yan, he will no longer urge Xiang Yan to give him a great-grandson. Xiang Yan also has the heart to accompany him. He some days.
Kou Ji naturally couldn't stop Xiang Yan from doing his filial piety.
Cao Yu went out of Beijing to investigate corruption.
When the Ministry of Industry introduced the new ploughs, even though Kou Ji had made sufficient preparations to prevent exploitation, exploitation still occurred.
As an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Kou Ji's close friend will naturally come forward to investigate and punish corruption.
When An Ziluo returned to Qingtang, Liu Heng followed An Ziluo to Qingtang.
Although Liu Mei only allowed Liu Heng to give An Ziluo's sister the status of a concubine, Liu Heng regarded An Ziluo's sister as his wife.
Since the other girl is regarded as the wife's wife, no matter whether it is before or after marriage, you can't escape from a trip to Qingtang.
Of course, Liu Heng went to Qingtang not only to visit the elders of An Ziluo's family in Qingtang.
After Nagong went to Qingtang, he held a wedding with An Ziluo's sister when the Qingtang people were married, and wanted to marry An Ziluo's sister in Qingtang as a wife.
Liu Heng’s nag was secretly told to Kou Ji about this, but he didn’t tell anyone else, including his father Liu Mei.
Both of the best friends left Bianjing, Kou Ji didn't get close to the others, so naturally he didn't want to go out.
While implementing new ploughs, the Ministry of Industry has successively introduced three-spindle spinning wheels and other objects that benefit the country and the people. Wang Yunsheng and other officials of the Ministry of Industry are acting in accordance with Kou Ji’s plan, and everything is safe and stable. No obstacles were encountered, so Kou Ji didn't have to go to the Ministry of Engineering to sit in the office to handle official affairs.
Therefore, Kou Ji is lazy to be a salted fish in the house.
Every day, I am entertaining pandas for fun.
Of course, Kou Ji's leisure time does not mean that the officials in Bianjing City are also leisurely.
instead.
During Kou Ji's leisure time, there were many major events in Bianjing, and the officials were very busy.
At the end of the first month.
News came from the inner court, claiming that the inner court Sanzai intends to re-enact the ban and is preparing to turn part of the imperial ban into national law.
For example, some secrets such as military fortresses, city defense layouts, ordnance and armaments, military secrets, and the movement of troops and horses are not allowed to appear in any books, letters, paintings, scrolls, etc. that are not official documents of the court until the court has not clearly announced the world. among.
The imperial court's original ban was only for a long time without any prescriptive punishment, so it was deliberately forgotten by the court and the opposition.
The imperial court is now preparing to include this prohibition in the national law, and it also gives prescriptive punishments.
The corresponding provisions of the national law have also been revealed.
Anyone who leaked major military affairs, leaked imperial secrets, or leaked matters prohibited by imperial decree in non-imperial official documents ranged from a rod of thirty, a distribution of thousands of miles to a tribe.
As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
After hearing the news, some civil servants immediately filed their defenses. Some even dug up the shadow of Kou Ji in this matter, so they wrote to impeach Kou Ji and deceived the crowd.
Others invited some great Confucian scholars who had become famous by leaking military events and imperial secrets reading books, entered the city of Bianjing, and attacked Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di.
Some people even invited Zhang Zhen, a teacher who taught Wang Zeng's career in Tongli Town when he was young, to come forward and refute Wang Zeng face to face.
The civil servants are making noise, and the scholars are not idle.
Some scholars who are good at writing and talking, instigated other scholars, ran around Bianjing and shouted every day, opening their eyes for the civil servants, yelling at Kou Ji for deceiving people, even Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di. insulted.
Bianjing City became very lively under their noise.
Kou Zhun and the three of them did not punish harshly or explain anything, just let them make trouble.
The three Kou Zhun did not explain or punish them, and so did Kou Ji.
Anyway, no matter how fierce the trouble was, those people would not be able to break into the Kou Mansion to make trouble.
If they really broke into the Kou Mansion to make trouble, then Kou Ji would have reason to apply to the court, mobilize the Forbidden Army, and kill them clean.
Of course, Kou Ji's failure to explain or punish does not mean that he does not hold grudges.
Kou Ji ordered the people from Kou Mansion to go out when the civil servants and scholars were making the most noise, and helped him collect two lists.
One is a list of the civil servants who made trouble, and the other is a list of scholars who made trouble.
The list of the civil servants who caused trouble, Kou Ji was directly lost in the palace and sent to Kou Zhun's case.
Kou Ji held the list of the troubled scholars tightly in his own hands.
The reason why Kou Ji held this list in his own hands was because he was one of the deputy examiners for Jinke's upcoming Chunwei Examiner.
Kou Ji's heart is clear.
Be noisy, even if it's noisy.
Don't fall into my hands, fall into my hands, and I will let you know what is meant by a stroke of a pen, and the name is lost.
Time entered after the beginning of February.
The inner court deliberately turned some prohibitions into national laws, and the turmoil has not been over yet.
The'people as animals' matter followed suit.
A gang of officials, on the grounds of “taking people as animals, not literati and bureaucrats,” caused this incident through the turmoil of civil servants and scholars who were making a fuss about the internal court’s intention to turn the prohibition into a national law.
For a time.
The city of Bianjing became more noisy.
The three Kou Zhun turned a deaf ear to this and let them make trouble.
The same is true for Kou Ji.
It's not that the four of them are incapable of handling this matter.
With the status of the four of them, and the means.
No matter who takes the shot, it can solve the noisy civil servants and scholars in Bianjing.
It's just that none of them shot.
They just watched those people making noise in silence.
…
Time flies.
At the beginning of March.
The noisy scholars in the city of Bianjing changed their tone overnight.
Those who scolded Kou Ji, Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di disappeared overnight.
It was replaced by a loud praise.
The scholars racked their brains, exhausted all kinds of gorgeous words, and praised Kou Ji and Kou Zhun over and over again.
They criticized Kou Ji and Kou Zhun for how cruel they were before, but now they praised Kou Ji and Kou Zhun.
The reason is so.
That's because the civil servants who instigated them to make trouble before did not pull Kou Ji and Li Di from the position of examiner as promised, and replaced them by themselves.
There are still three days to go before the opening of the branch in Chunwei.
The identities of the examiners of Kou Ji and Li Di remained unchanged.
The only difference is that Xue Tian, one of the three examiners in Qiuwei of Kaifeng Mansion, did not serve as the examiner of Chunwei.
But an official named Ma Yuanfang became one of the three examiners.
Kou Ji was not familiar with this official named Ma Yuanfang.
After checking his past carefully, I realized that he was a character.
This person does not have a big name in the history of youth, but he is a rare temperament person.
Ma Yuanfang was born during the reign of Emperor Taizu Jianlong, and was born in Juancheng, Puzhou.
In the three years of Chunhua Jinshi and the first, he successively held many positions, from the official to the official to the matter, the right to know the Kaifeng government affairs, and then to the Privy Councilor to know the state of Bingzhou, and then moved to the military minister.
The official position of this person is equivalent to that of Kou Ji, but the false title of this person is much higher than that of Kou Ji.
The reason why this person is a person of temperament is because this person has done two things that a person of temperament can do.
Even now, it has always been regarded as a post-tea conversation.
One is that when this person was young, his father served as a supervising army with the army during Taizong's Northern Expedition. When he attacked Youzhou City, he was unable to catch up with the army because of the exhaustion of food and grass, and was captured and killed by the Liao people.
This man shaved his hair and worked as a monk, searching for his father's body for many years.
The second is that after joining the official, when serving as a JD transshipment agent, when the route was inspected in Puzhou, Puzhou Zhizhou Jiang Xin hosted a feast to entertain him, and he was beaten by him.
It was probably Jiang Xin's servant. In Puzhou, he searched for Minzhimin ointment and then used Minzhimin ointment to entertain Ma Yuanfang. Ma Yuanfang couldn't help but beat him with the anger in his heart.
Kou Ji didn't check the final end of Jiang Xin's servant.
However, Ma Yuanfang was relegated to Suzhou Zhizhou for this reason.
It is precisely because of these two things that Kou Ji feels that Ma Yuanfang is a man of temperament.
…
The seventh day of March.
Kou Ji was at the service of Xiang Yan early in the morning, wearing an official uniform. He held a list in his hand, looked at the names of scholars one after another, and said quietly: "Don't look at the troubles now, be careful In the future, the list will be drawn... It’s a wise saying... Hey... Now is the time to list the list..."
I, Kou Ji, who can scold me if I want to scold
Don’t you know that I’m a person who will repay me before you scold me
"Sang Gong... what is a list..."
Xiang Yan asked Kou Ji to put on his official uniform, questioning.
Kou Ji put away the list and smiled indifferently, "It's nothing... The husband has to be busy in the Gongyuan these few days, and you will worry about the affairs of the house."
Xiang Yan smiled and said, "My concubine understands..."
Kou Ji squeezed her cheek and walked out of the room in her anger.
Kou Ji rode in a carriage, all the way to the Gongyuan.
The gate of Gongyuan has long been full of students who have come to participate in the Chunwei scientific examination.
Among them, Liu Yong is the most controversial.
The people who sent the test were not their parents, wives and children, but the handsome young servants, and only Liu Yong was the pretty maid.
Yingyingyanyan surrounded a lot of brothel women.
Some oiran ladies who are hard to see on weekdays can only wander in the outer circle in Liu Yong's test team.
Close to Liu Yong's side, there were only a few talented and beautiful people.
Gate of the Gongyuan.
Every man who saw Yingying and Yanyan around Liu Yong showed envy, and then slapped inwardly to the ground, shouting loudly.
"Insulting gentleman!"
"..."
As Kou Ji, before the exam started, he shouldn't have gotten too close to a certain candidate.
But he looked at the Yingying Yanyan beside Liu Yong too much, and he couldn't help it.
"Boom, boom..."
Kou Ji opened the curtain on the carriage and banged on the wall of the carriage.
"You are blocking my path..."
Kou Ji yelled.
When the women heard the words, they glanced sideways at him, not paying attention.
All of them are stunning, and the officials who drill down on their skirts on weekdays do not know where they are.
There are even some important ministers in the central government who are also frequent visitors in their rooms.
So they really don't care much about ordinary officials.
just…
Is Kou Ji an ordinary official
Obviously not.
The fact that those women didn't recognize Kou Ji's identity for a while does not mean that Liu Yong did not recognize it.
When Kou Ji's voice sounded, Liu Yong looked at Kou Ji for the first time and recognized Kou Ji.
There is hardly any hesitation.
Liu Yong pushed away Yingying Yanyan beside him, leaned to Kou Ji's side, and bowed to salute.
"Student Liu Yong, met the Kou Industry Department..."
The women saw Liu Yong saluting Kou Ji as a student, and heard that Liu Yong called Kou Ji an official position, and suddenly knew Kou Ji's identity.
One by one hurriedly gave way to the road that Kouji's carriage was going on.
There was only one woman, standing beside Liu Yong, owing a bow to Kou Ji, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Any concubine, Chong Niang, I have seen Kou Industry Department..."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and glanced at the insect mother.
The Chong Niang looks very beautiful, and she belongs to the older group of women in her age.
About twenty-five years old.
There is no wind and dust on the body.
It's like a well-knowing lady.
No wonder Liu Yong would choose him as his lover among thousands of flowers.
Kou Ji nodded slightly to the insect mother, his eyes fell on Liu Yong, and said faintly: "It's not unreasonable that you failed the exam three times in a row..."
Liu Yong was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning, staring at Kou Ji in astonishment.
Chong Niang's face turned pale.
The other women stared at Kou Ji with angry eyes.
Kou Ji stopped talking, put down the curtains on the car window, and gave an indifferent command, "Go..."
The coachman carried the carriage and floated away in the angry eyes of the women.
Liu Yongzui turned around shivering, and asked Chong Niang in a low voice, "The Ministry of Industry said like this, does it mean that you don't plan to take me?"
Chongniang stepped forward with a pale face, held Liu Yong's hand, and said mournfully: "If he refuses to take you, you are in this life..."
In the latter words, the insect lady didn't say anything.
But the meaning in her words is self-evident.
If someone like Kou Ji didn't take Liu Yong, then Liu Yong would never think of being a Jinshi in this life.
