Seeing Kou Ji's unbelief, Zhu Neng quickly explained: "Your grandfather is always strict with his family, but if his family makes a mistake, he will definitely protect him to the end."
Kou Ji pursed his lips when he heard this.
After thinking about Kou Zhun's usual deeds, it was exactly as Zhu Neng said.
Since Zhu Neng didn't care about being an enemy of civil and military officials in the court, Kou Ji would not be able to continue on this matter.
Kou Ji accompanied Zhu Neng to chat for a while, and sent Zhu Neng to leave Kou Mansion.
After returning to Sijunyuan, Kou Ji secretly speculated.
When Ma Yuanfang saw Zhu Neng's letter, he was afraid that he would not write again for a while.
He will definitely wait until Zhu Neng and the martial arts are about to enter the arena.
With Zhu Neng as the vanguard, and fighting with the martial arts for a while, he is naturally happy to see the result.
As Kou Ji expected.
A few days later.
Ma Yuanfang did not move at all.
Zhu Neng was impeached by Wuxun from the Manchu dynasty. Some of the shameful things that Zhu Neng did on weekdays were also dug up one by one and dried on the court.
A big hat was buttoned on Zhu Neng's head.
Zhu Neng has become a heinous man.
Zhu Neng is naturally unwilling to show weakness.
Crazy to expose the shortcomings of the martial arts in the court.
Things such as the deduction of salaries and salaries from soldiers and the killing of good deeds and meritorious deeds were torn out one by one by him.
The two sides buckled each other's heads, and it was a joy to buckle them.
Zhu Neng and Wu Xun are fighting like a raging fire.
The ministers sat on the wall one by one, watching the excitement quietly.
Kou Ji also paid close attention to this matter all the time.
With Zhu Neng's identity and status, he confronted the martial arts of the Manchu dynasty for half a month. It would be strange if there were no tricks in the middle.
Kou Ji deliberately went to the palace to find Kou Zhun for questioning, but after thinking about it, he decided to see Li Di first before seeing Kou Zhun again.
Immediately.
Kou Ji was neatly dressed, got into the carriage, and went straight to the Li Mansion.
At the door of Li's house, the steward of Li's house greeted him and told Kou Ji that Li Di was not in the house.
Kou Ji again ordered the groom to drive to Wangzeng's Mansion.
Wang Zeng was in the house.
After hearing from the servant, he said that after Kou Ji came to visit, people greeted Kou Ji to the backyard of the mansion.
Both Wang Zeng and Li Di treat Kou Ji as a nephew in his later generations.
Therefore, when Kou Ji visited, he rarely led Kou Ji to the main hall or side hall.
When Kou Ji arrived in the backyard of the palace, he saw Wang Zeng dressed in single clothes, sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, chewing ice cubes, and writing and reviewing some documents.
Kou Ji stepped forward slightly and bowed.
"Xiaguan Kou Ji, met Wang Xiang..."
When Wang Zeng heard this, he snorted displeasedly, and didn't talk to Kou Ji again.
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly bowed again: "Boy Kou Ji, I have seen Uncle Wang."
Wang Zeng paused with the pen in his hand and glanced up at Kou Ji. He pointed to a place beside him without speaking, and continued to bow his head to review the documents.
Kou Ji walked to the edge of the pavilion, took off his boots, and sat down on the mat next to Wang Zeng.
The mat that Wang Zeng sat down on was made of a milky white material that resembled jade. On closer inspection, it looked like bone.
After sitting on it, it was icy cold and very comfortable.
Wang Zeng was busy reviewing the memorial, and was unwilling to talk to Kou Ji, so Kou Ji didn't take the initiative to join in, but was seriously studying the sitting mat.
One of them reviewed the memorial and the other studied the mat.
Time just passed by every minute and every second.
After a long time, Wang Zeng put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, and tapped on the table.
Kou Ji hurriedly raised his head, wittyly pouring tea and handing water to Wang Zeng.
Wang Zeng took the tea, took a sip, and let out a sigh of relief. He glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Fancy this old man's mat?"
Kou Ji nodded seriously, "I think this thing is related to me..."
Wang Zeng glanced at Kou Ji in disgust, and said angrily: "There are so many valuable things in Kou Mansion. The only thing that can be found in the old man's mansion is this summer mat."
Kou Jigan smiled and said, "The kid didn't say that he wanted to take this thing as his own."
Wang Zeng rolled his eyes and refused to believe Kou Ji's nonsense.
"This tooth table is a reward for the old man after serving the Emperor for many years..."
Don't worry about Kou Ji's implication.
Kou Ji stroked the sitting mat, a little envious.
Kou Ji's eyesight is far more sophisticated than that of ordinary people. From the first glance he saw the mat, he knew how the mat was made and what texture he was sitting on.
Made of pure ivory...
A full length of one foot long, six feet wide, clear white teeth and bones, neatly connected together to make a summer mat.
The ivory consumed during this period is immeasurable.
Really... Luxury.
Wang Zeng looked at Kou Ji's idea of hitting his teeth, suddenly coughed, and said loudly: "Your kid has nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall. Why is it that you are going to the house to find an old man this time?"
Kou Ji glanced at the sitting mat, raised his head, and asked: "Uncle Wang, Zhu Neng has written to the court and asked the court to depose the power of the military construction supervisor. Are you and my grandfather the three? Instructed?"
Wang Zeng was taken aback for a moment, picked up his teacup, and said faintly: "This matter was done by Zhu Neng alone. What does it have to do with the three of me?"
Kou Ji suspiciously said: "As Zhu Neng's status, facing Manchu martial arts troubles, it is impossible to support to this day, there must be someone behind it..."
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said, "Your kid is suspicious. It's the old man and your grandfather. Zhu Neng, the backer, is an enemy of Manchu Wuxun?"
Kou Ji was not scared by Wang Zeng's stare, but nodded seriously.
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji for a long time. When he saw that he couldn't stop Kou Ji, he slowly withdrew his gaze, and said quietly, "Since you have doubts, why don't you ask your grandfather, but instead run over to ask the old man?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "Actually, the kid didn't even think about coming over to ask you. The kid originally planned to ask Grandpa Li to ask for details, but after going to the Li Mansion, he found that Grandpa Li was not there, so he could only look for you."
Wang Zeng hummed: "You can't see Li Di when you run to Li Mansion at this time."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Grandpa Li is in Mafu?"
Wang Zeng sighed and admired: "Your kid is really smart... Li Di is indeed in Ma Mansion. If he doesn't come forward to quell Ma Yuanfang. The old man Ma Yuanfang will inevitably write a letter.
If he were to write a letter, the officials of the Manchu court might not be able to sit still.
At that time, how will the plan of the old man and three of them be carried out? "
really…
Kou Ji muttered in his heart.
Seeing that Zhu Neng could stand still and counterattack frequently under the impeachment of the Manchu martial arts.
Kou Ji guessed that there must be some tricks behind Zhu Neng's book.
Combined with Zhu Neng's previous words in Kou's mansion.
It is not difficult for Kou Ji to guess that Zhu Neng must be supported by the three of Kou Zhun behind Zhu Neng.
The three Kou Zhun must be planning something through Zhu Neng's book.
Now that I heard Wang Zeng's affirmative answer, it just confirmed Kou Ji's conjecture.
Kou Ji figured out the joints, stared at Wang Zeng, and questioned: "Then what are you three planning?"
Wang Zeng said indifferently: "What are the three of me planning, why should I tell you the kid. Is it possible that you are only allowed to make plans in the court, but the three of me are not allowed to make plans?"
Kou Jigan smiled and said, "That's not what the kid meant..."
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji, "You kid has done so many big things secretly, but you haven't told the old man, and the old man hasn't settled the account with you."
Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "The kid is also afraid of walking wind..."
Seeing that Wang had the intention of getting angry, Kou Ji hurriedly said, "The three of you planned on the other things with the help of the kid. Didn't you also tell the kid? Let's be even, how about it?"
"Not an example!"
Wang Zeng snorted coldly.
Kou Ji nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that Kou Ji had a good attitude, Wang Zeng didn't intend to conceal him. He bluntly said: "My Xiang army on the border of Song Dynasty has been streamlined. The rest is the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Compared with the Xiang Army in the border areas, the Xiang Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains is more erosive.
The Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains will probably be abolished cleanly.
Prior to this, the three old men abolished the Frontier Xiang army, which has caused a backlash from the Wuxuns.
If the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains is directly reached out again, those martial artists will inevitably make chaos.
In order to avoid the Wuxuns making chaos.
The old man and the three wanted to throw out the evil things that the martial artists had done over the years by ousting the generals as supervisors for building ordnance.
To stabilize the people's hearts.
Once the old man and three of them acted on the Xiang Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Those martial artists want to make trouble, and the people will not be deceived by them. "
After Kou Ji heard what Wang Zeng said, he was thoughtful.
Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, and Li Di did this to guide public opinion.
First, in name, classify the martial artists into the ranks of the wicked,
Cut off the biggest source of turmoil.
Once the three of them dealt with the Xiangjun in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the Wuxuns could only use the strength of their hands to make a small mess if they wanted to do something in their backs.
It is difficult to make a big mess.
If you want to bring the people into trouble, the people probably won't agree.
Coupled with the constraints of the supervising army, push officers and others in the army, it is even more difficult to make a big mess.
Kou Ji understood the thoughts of the three Kou Zhun, so he stopped questioning.
Knife at the Wuxuns together, although it was a bit cruel.
But for the sake of Song, I had to do this.
Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng and asked, "Will your three plan affect the kid's plan?"
When Wang Zeng heard this, he felt angry. He stared at Kou Ji and said: "Listen to what you mean, we three prime ministers, do we still have to listen to you?"
Kou Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I dare not dare... The kid just thinks that it's not easy for the kid to make a plan. If it is ruined by this, it will be a pity."
Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji fiercely, and said, "You can rest assured... that the power to supervise the casting of ordnance will be deposed before the abolition of the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Wait for a few more days, until Zhu Neng has almost talked about the evil things the Wuxuns have done, and Ma Yuanfang will naturally write the book.
At that time, the civil servants must obey.
At that time, your plan will come naturally. "
Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that his plan would conflict with the plans of the three Kou Zhun.
For the sake of the overall situation, the three Kou Zhun will persuade him to give up the plan.
Now that he heard the meaning in Wang Zeng's words, when the three Kou Zhun were planning to abolish the Xiang army, they also took his plan into consideration and planned together, then he was relieved.
Kou Ji chatted with Wang Zeng for a while before leaving the palace.
A few days later.
Zhu Neng was in full swing with the martial arts in the court.
Kou Ji never paid attention anymore.
Just when Kou Jiyi didn't need to worry about it anymore, someone approached the door.
Kou Mansion.
Partial hall.
Kou Ji bowed in front of the incoming person and said, "I have seen Uncle Cao."
Cao Wei's visit late at night made Kou Ji feel a little surprised.
Cao Wei stared at Kou Ji and said, "You don't have to be polite..."
Kou Ji asked Cao Wei to sit down, and Cao Wei said straightforwardly: "What the hell does Taishi Kou want to do?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and invited someone to offer tea, while tasting the tea, he muttered: "The kid doesn't quite understand what Uncle Cao meant."
Cao Wei stared at Kou Ji, and said solemnly: "You understand!"
Kou Ji is not the only wise man in the world.
Kou Ji can see that Zhu Neng's book is tricky, how can Cao Wei not see it
Not only Cao Wei could see it, but Gao Chu Gong, Li Zhaoliang and others could also see it.
It seems that almost a month has passed since Zhu Neng wrote the book.
The Wuxuns tried their best secretly, and all the methods of framing and framing were used, but Zhu Neng still stood still in the court.
No matter how stupid they are, they know that there must be something tricky in it.
Kou Ji guessed Cao Wei's thoughts, and knew that this matter could not be kept from Cao Wei for a long time, so he stared at Cao Wei and asked, "What does Uncle Cao want to know?"
Cao Wei said seriously: "I just want to know, what is the purpose of Taishi Kou doing this, and what does he want?"
Kou Ji did not explicitly say, but rather vaguely reminded: "This matter actually has nothing to do with Uncle Cao..."
Cao Wei was taken aback and frowned, not understanding the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
"Master Kou designed Wuxun against me, how could it have nothing to do with me?"
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Uncle Cao remember what he once said?"
Cao Wei frowned tighter.
Thinking carefully about the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Zhun is targeting Wuxun, but he has nothing to do with the Cao family, and it has something to do with what he said before...
Then...
Cao Wei suddenly raised his head, staring at Kou Ji, and said with a heavy voice: "The court is going to abolish the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains?!"
Kou Ji did not nod, shook his head, or spoke. He was tacitly acquiescing to the meaning of Cao Wei's words.
He was not afraid that Cao Wei would spread the news.
In this matter, Cao Wei represents the Cao family and has already accepted the certificate of voting.
It was already betrayed the interests of the Wuxuns.
If Cao Wei publicized this matter, it would be of no benefit to anyone.
Cao Wei's face was a little ugly and wailed: "I had expected that after Mr. Kou Taishi and others abolished the Xiang army in the frontier area, they would inevitably take action on the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but I didn't expect it would be so fast."
