When did Chen Lin talk so well
With a murmur in his heart, Kou Ji put away the astonishment on his face, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Since the official said that, the minister listened to the official."
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen nodded with a bright smile.
"It's so good."
Kou Ji pondered for a while, looked sideways at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair and staring at him with a bright smile, and asked: "The minister doesn't know yet, what is the so-called official invitation to enter the palace this time."
Zhao Zhen said in the letter that he asked Kou Ji to help manage his marriage.
But after Zhao Zhen met, he said that his marriage had been handed over to the Ministry of Rites to be managed by Kou Zhun and Liu E.
The Ministry of Etiquette came forward to handle this matter, and Kou Ji naturally didn't need help.
So, Zhao Zhen invited Kou Ji into the palace, it must be for other things.
Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's question, and the smile on his face became unnatural, "I will not hide from you, I am in trouble and need your help."
Hearing this, Kou Ji did not rush to answer, but thought about it.
Although Zhao Zhen is not yet in power, the three of Kou Zhun have slowly begun to hand over the ruling power of some affairs in the DPRK to Zhao Zhen.
Now Zhao Zhen already has some power in his hands.
With the help of Kou Zhun's trio, ordinary things can't help him.
What he can call troublesome, it must be really troublesome.
"I don't know what kind of trouble the official family has encountered?"
Kou Ji asked tentatively.
Zhao Zhen sighed for a long time, slowly stood up from the dragon chair, shouldered his hands, and said quietly: "The female pickers from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another, and they are now in Qingfang Palace **.
I will get married in a few days, and the choice of the queen will also be decided..."
When Zhao Zhen said this, he closed his mouth, stopped speaking, and frowned.
Although Zhao Zhen did not go on, Kou Ji had probably guessed a bit of the trouble he encountered.
Zhao Zhen ran into trouble with the post-election issue.
Kou Ji pondered: "Isn't the official and the queen dowager the same person?"
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I know, I can't hide this from you."
Kou Ji gave a wry smile, but said nothing.
After Zhao Zhen first ascended to the Dabao, he clashed with the Queen Mother Liu E on the issue of the immediate queen. There is a clear record of this in historical data, and Kou Ji does not need to guess more.
Zhao Zhen didn't know Kou Ji's thoughts, and when he saw Kou Ji's silence, he continued: "Three days ago, the auntie summoned me and invited me to Qingfang Palace and secretly observed the girls.
I saw Zhang, the great-granddaughter of the late Admiral Xiaoqiwei Zhang Mei among the picking daughters. I was overjoyed and deliberately established her as a queen.
Auntie Niang Niang targeted the Chongyi deputy envoy Guo Yungong's second daughter, Guo clan...
Kou Ji pondered: "What then?"
Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen and Liu E might not only disagree, but other things might have happened.
Otherwise, Zhao Zhen would not be sad.
Zhao Zhen closed his eyes painfully and said, "If this is only the case, it's okay for me to take a step back..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "But the auntie is obviously unable to get along with me. It's all about her not letting me set up the Zhang clan. She actually thinks that the Zhang clan is too coquettish and easy to confuse me. So, I want to give Zhang to her nephew Liu Congmei..."
"Boom!"
Zhao Zhen patted the table and roared, "What is Liu Congmei? He is also worthy to grab a woman from me?!"
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen unexpectedly.
It is the first time he has seen Zhao Zhen have such a big temper since he knew Zhao Zhen.
It can make Zhao Zhen such a good-tempered person so angry.
It proved from the side that Zhao Zhen really liked Zhang's in his heart.
In addition, Kou Ji also saw some other things.
Seeing Zhao Zhen's anger, Chen Lin hurriedly bowed and exhorted: "Officials calm down and take care of the dragon's body."
Zhao Zhen clenched his fists, restrained his anger, and snorted heavily.
After Zhao Zhen put aside his anger, Kou Ji asked tentatively: "What do the officials plan to make the ministers do?"
Zhao Zhen's gaze fell on Kou Ji, as if he saw a straw for life, and eagerly said: "I want you to help Zhang Clan and become my queen."
Kou Ji said seriously: "Then what if the Queen Mother continues to stop it?"
Zhao Zhen's expression was dark, and he whispered: "By your means, can't you let Zhang Clan become my queen?"
Kou Ji sincerely said: "The minister can help the Zhang clan to make plans for the Zhang clan to stay in the palace. However, whether Zhang clan can become the queen is not the decision of the minister, but the queen mother.
Kou Ji could use the power of Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng to intervene in the matter of setting up a queen.
But it was just an intervention.
Kou Ji can use his strength to intervene in the selection of the queen, and Liu E can also intervene in the selection of the queen.
Fight between the two sides.
The end result is that the back position is empty.
But Zhang, who is at the center of the struggle, will definitely not end well.
When Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji had no way to help Zhang sit as a queen, he felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Kou Ji exhorted: "Officials, why do you have to register the Zhang clan as the queen? If you really like the Zhang clan, the last thing you should do is to register her as the queen."
Zhao Zhen frowned and stared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji continued: "The battle in the harem is endless. If you set Zhang as the queen, you will push her to the cusp of the storm. Even if she sits in the position of queen, she will be targeted everywhere.
She didn't have a strong relative to support her, and she couldn't compete with other concubines at all.
The final result may not be too good. "
After Zhao Zhen was born, Liu E took control of the entire harem.
Those who are disobedient, or who are against Liu E, have already been dealt with by Liu E.
So Zhao Zhen didn't see too many harem battles, nor did he know the cruelty of harem battles.
There are very few descriptions of the struggles in the harem of the Song Dynasty in historical data, but it does not mean that the harem of the Song Dynasty is peaceful.
On the contrary, the fighting in the harem of the Song Dynasty was far more fierce than other dynasties.
Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, father and son, gave birth to many dragon sons and grandchildren, but they died one after another until they became extinct. Except for some reasons why the father and son died on their own, the battle with the harem was inseparable.
In other dynasties, even if the concubines of the harem used the dragon son and dragon grandson as hands and feet, it was somewhat restrained.
But in the battle of the harem of the Song Dynasty, he was able to play hands and feet on the dragon son and dragon grandson, and achieved the point of extinction.
Full of horror.
Kou Ji described the harem as a bit terrifying, and Zhao Zhen was a little unbelievable. He looked at Chen Lin and asked: "Chen Daban, is this true?"
Facing Zhao Zhen’s question, Chen Lin hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "When the officials were young, if they weren't protected by slaves, they would not survive a year..."
Chen Lin's simple sentence fully described the cruelty of the fighting in the harem.
"Puffing..."
Zhao Zhen puffed down and sat on the dragon chair with a look of disbelief.
Kou Ji froze for a moment, curled his mouth, and whispered to Chen Lin not far away: "You really dare to say..."
Chen Lin's eyelids faintly said, "The official family has grown up, and some things should be known to him."
Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, and said, "You are not afraid that the blow will be too big, the officials can't stand it?"
Chen Lin looked sad and sighed: "If our family does not tell the official family, the blow will only be even greater when the official family finds it out. Moreover, the official family is about to get married. Tell the official, let the official guard, I'm afraid the official will follow the footsteps of the emperor."
Kou Ji pondered: "You know a lot. You also have the power to prevent this kind of thing from happening. Why don't you stop it?"
Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said sadly: "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against thieves. When they are not offending, they are nobles.
How can one of our servants ride on the heads of the nobles
If they commit a crime, what is the use of our family's action
People have been mutilated to death by them. Even if our family slashed them a thousand times, can we save them? "
After listening to Chen Lin's words, Kou Ji said quietly: "The royal... is far from as good as the people imagined."
Chen Lin hugged Whisk, sighed, and nodded.
Zhao Zhen had already recovered slowly when Kou Ji and Chen Lin were chatting in a low voice.
Zhao Zhen stared straight at Chen Lin, and asked with a trembling voice: "Auntie, she..."
There are some things that Zhao Zhen couldn't say directly.
But Chen Lin and Kou Ji understood the meaning of his words.
Zhao Zhen was asking whether Liu E had hurt the dragon son or grandson.
Chen Lin's body trembled, bending down humblely, and solemnly said: "The slave and maidservant have never seen..."
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, he took a deep breath, the big stone in his heart slowly fell, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and he sighed: "I hope you don't tell this matter to outsiders..."
Although Zhao Zhen gave Kou Ji a new password, Kou Ji heard a trace of pleading in Zhao Zhen's tone.
Kou Ji sighed in his heart, and said, "Chen Kou Ji, follow the order."
Seeing that Kou Ji had promised to keep it secret, Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and waved to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin hesitated and withdrew from the side hall.
Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji again, and some six gods said without a master: "Fourth brother, it's so hard to be an emperor..."
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He heard a sense of powerlessness from Zhao Zhen's words.
After pondering for a while, Kou Ji said, "Even if there are dangers and dangers, you have to sit down on this dragon chair. No one else is worthy except you."
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, staring at Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother, what should I do?"
Kou Ji was silent after hearing this.
After a long time, he raised his head and stared at Zhao Zhen and said: "You should sit down on the dragon chair. You should eat, drink, whatever you like. I will help you clean up the ruling and the wild; the enemy of the four seas , I'll help you level it."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji blankly, "Can you?"
Kou Ji grinned, "Why not, you have to believe me."
Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly and said: "I believe the fourth brother..."
After a pause, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji very seriously and said, "Then how should I reward you?"
Kou Ji thought about it and said with a smile: "A golden mace, two sleeves of breeze..."
Zhao Zhen didn't understand what Kou Ji meant.
Staring at Kou Ji blankly.
Kou Ji did not explain much.
Seeing that Kou Ji was unwilling to explain, Zhao Zhen did not pursue the roots.
Under Kou Ji's comfort, Zhao Zhen's face had a little more expression. He stared at Kou Ji and said with a little embarrassment: "Fourth brother, the Zhang family matter..."
Kou Ji groaned: "I will find a way to keep the Zhang clan in the palace, but you must not let the clan Zhang sit as the queen."
Zhao Zhen reluctantly continued to ask: "There is no other way..."
Kou Ji solemnly said: "If you really like her, don't hurt her."
Zhao Zhen sighed, "I listen to you."
Kou Ji continued: "Besides, you can't agree to the queen mother and let Guo's daughter become a queen."
Zhao Zhen questioned: "Why is this again?"
Kou Ji exhorted: "This woman is not a good match with you. As far as I know, this woman is a bit domineering. If she becomes a queen, it will inevitably be supported by the queen mother." Secretly deceive you.
You are my official of the Song Dynasty, how can you be bullied by a woman.
After the spread, what face do you have to face Manchu civil and military. "
Zhao Zhen said with a bitter face: "But after I set up other people, the aunt will not agree."
Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "That's not necessarily... If your queen is supported by a powerful relative, the queen mother is not good to object."
Zhao Zhen thought about it for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "The fourth brother is talking about the Cao's daughter?"
Kou Ji nodded heavily.
Zhao Zhen thought about what Kou Ji had said, and suddenly smiled, "If I set Zhang's daughter as the queen, then the queen will not be my turn. If I set the Cao's daughter as the queen, then the queen will be the queen. It's me who has the final say.
Even so, then listen to the fourth brother.
My queen, I have to choose myself.
If the auntie chooses it, it would be difficult for me to sleep with her. "
Kou Ji smiled and nodded. Zhao Zhennong understood this truth from his words, and then it proved that he did not say anything in vain.
After Zhao Zhen laughed, he stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Then what should I do?"
Kou Jichengzhu smiled in his chest and said: "The officials don't need to do anything. They only need to wait until the day after the election and designate the Cao daughter as queen.
Zhao Zhen curled his lips and said with emotion: "I'm afraid the aunt will embarrass me then."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It won't... The official is just waiting for the good news in the palace."
Zhao Zhen was about to get up and give Kou Ji a gift immediately, but Kou Ji grabbed him and exhorted: "It's enough to put it in your heart, you don't have to show it. After all, in front of outsiders, you and I have different identities.
You can't hurt me. "
Zhao Zhen retracted his hand and nodded heavily.
Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen and chatted with others for a while, then arched his hands and left the palace.
Back to the house.
Kou Ji invited Kou Zhong to meet in the side hall.
After Kou Zhong entered the side hall, he saw Kou Ji sitting on the seat frowning.
Kou Zhong bowed his hand and said: "The young master is anxious to find the old servant, what's the point?"
