Now that the Ministry of Industry has obtained the power to make money from the imperial court, Kou Ji, as the head of the Ministry of Industry, can completely use new money instead of old money. Naturally, there is no need to continue to keep the Jiangling money-making workshop.
After all, no one likes to be sneaky when you can do things with integrity.
Kou Zhong agreed, and immediately went down to send someone to spread the word.
The front foot had just stepped out of the threshold, and Kou Ji stopped on the back foot.
"Kou Zhong..."
"The old servant is here..."
Kou Ji groaned: "I asked you to send someone to stare at Wang Qinruo and others, but what did you find?"
Kou Zhong bowed and said, "If you go back to the young master, Wang Qinruo has disappeared a lot recently, but the Palace of the Eight Princes is very lively."
Kou Ji thoughtfully said: "The general prison has been abolished, which has harmed the interests of many people. It is reasonable for some unwilling people to invest in the Palace of the Eight Kings.
Nowadays, the Eight Kings Mansion can be regarded as full of voices.
Just a few soldiers. "
Kou Ji thought while staring at Kou Zhongdao: "Send people to watch the movements of Sanya, and the movements of some Xiangjun generals who have returned to Bianjing to report on their duties from various places should be closely watched."
Old Kou Zhong showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Little young master, the manpower in the mansion is limited. If someone is sent to stare at the movements of Sanya, there will not be enough manpower to stare at the Eight Princes Mansion."
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and sighed, "It would be fine if Liu Heng was there, he can control the Imperial City Division."
Kou Zhong groaned: "If the young master needs it, the old servant can find a way to help you recruit some people."
Kou Ji shook his head, "This kind of manpower needs to be cultivated from an early age. It is difficult to find out whether the other party is loyal or not."
Kou Zhong pondered: "Why don't you... seconde some scouts from the army?"
Kou Ji continued to shook his head, "No... Army scouts are used to spying on information on the battlefield, but they are not suitable for use in Bianjing. In this way, you can let the staff in the mansion pay close attention to the generals of the Xiangjun who have close contacts with the Eight Kingdoms Mansion. .
However, send someone to Qingtang again and ask if Liu Heng's servant has had enough time in Qingtang.
Let him come back to me if he has enough play. "
Kou Zhong nodded, and said jokingly: "What if Young Master Liu said he didn't have enough?"
Kou Ji was taken aback, and sneered: "Then I don't mind letting Zhang Yuan and Yuyou occupy land in the Western Regions as the king and treat him as a sweat."
Kou Zhong was stunned when he heard the words.
Immediately, a thick smile appeared on his face, "Then Young Master Liu is scared to death."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "Don't force him, he really regards Qingtang as his home..."
"By the way, what's the situation with Cao using the mansion?"
Ever since the eunuch who asked Kou Jike for bribes mentioned Guo Huai and Cao's use, Kou Jike has been sending people to follow the movements of Cao's use of the mansion.
Kou Zhong groaned: "Cao used the mansion to make things difficult to talk about."
Kou Ji stunned: "What's the matter?"
Kou Zhong sighed, "Guo Huai, the eunuch, that's really ruthless. Cao used the money in the mansion, and he has been emptied. Cao uses the mansion to go up and down, and now lives by eating chaff.
If it weren't for the ladies in Cao Wei's mansion now serving porridge, Cao used the people in the mansion to beg for a bit of food, fearing that he would have starved to death long ago. "
Kou Ji raised his brows, "It's really not easy for a privy envoy to be forced to this level. And Guo Huai, the dead eunuch, is too bold.
If this matter spreads out, Liu E will not be able to protect him.
Guo Huai, the dead eunuch, really wanted money but not life. "
"It really is… "
Kou Zhong nodded in agreement, "According to the report from the spies in the mansion, Guo Huai's servant recently missed the house that Cao used."
Kou Ji sneered, "I really don't know how to live or die. If he forces Cao to use homelessness, it is estimated that the Manchu civil and military will have to fry the pot."
"It's not like being homeless..."
Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "In the past, when the old master and Cao Liu had a good relationship, the old servant also had a relationship with Cao Liu. This person is not a man who can bend and stretch. When he is in a hurry, he will do everything. Come out."
Kou Ji stunned: "Somewhat paranoid?"
Kou Zhong nodded heavily.
Kou Ji groaned: "When he is forced to rebel, can he still rebel? He is a privy envoy, but he has no soldiers at his disposal, no soldiers, how to rebel."
Kou Zhong thought about it for a moment, and said, "It's also possible to commit suicide."
Kou Ji's eyes widened in amazement, a little unbelievable.
Kou Ji carefully recalled the life of Cao Liu recorded in the history books, and found that Cao Yao finally committed suicide under the humiliation of the eunuch.
Although the fate of many people has been changed due to Kou Ji's disturbance.
But Cao took advantage of the fate of being humiliated by the eunuch, and it didn't seem to be changed.
As always, it fell on Cao utilization.
It is really possible for Cao to take advantage of Guo Huai's humiliation and commit suicide in grief and anger.
I thought of here.
Kou Ji hurriedly ordered: "Let the people lurking near Cao's utilization mansion pay close attention to the movements of Cao's utilization mansion."
Kou Zhong bowed and said, "The old servant understands."
Kou Zhong withdrew from the room.
Kou Ji smiled jokingly and said: "If Guo Huai forced Cao to take advantage of it, I would take the Manchu civil and military to break Guo Huai's face, then Guo Huai and the Queen Mother would surely be extremely cool."
Kou Jiruo could really take the Manchu civil and military with him when Guo Huai forced Cao to use it.
Then Guo Huai and Queen Mother Liu E were chilly.
At that time.
The mad Manchu civil and military still had to tear Guo Huai to life.
Let alone Liu E, even if Zhao Kuangyin resurrected, Guo Huai would not be able to protect him.
In the Manchu dynasty civil and military, how many regarded eunuchs as human beings
Not many.
An eunuch who didn't even count as a man bullied him to the point of committing suicide in grief and indignation.
Manchu civil and military, who can tolerate it
Is it better to be a servant with us ministers of civil and military affairs in the Song Dynasty
In front of Liu E and Zhao Zhen, the civil and military of Manchu dynasty beat Guo Huai to death.
Then I had to ask Liu E about the crime of a murderous servant and Zhao Zhen for an explanation.
Don't give an explanation.
The Manchu civil and military dared to stop the dynasty together.
Just dared to sit and watch the chaos of the Song Dynasty.
Kou Ji thought about the consequences of Guo Huai's use of Cao's death, and he kept cool for a long time, then suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Guo Huai is so bold and reckless, does Liu E know it? Or doesn't it?"
"If Liu E knew and condoned Guo Huai to act like this, then she must have planned something?"
"If Liu E doesn't know, then Guo Huai is really a pig teammate by doing this?"
"..."
Kou Ji groped his chin, thinking to himself, "Whether Liu E knows it or not, I always feel that there is weirdness in this matter... To be precise, most things recently have weirdness.
It's a pity that Liu Heng's servant is not there, otherwise you can use the staff of the Imperial City Division to investigate this matter. "
"..."
Kou Ji secretly speculated about the weirdness in the mansion.
I guess it's more than half a month, and I don't have a clue at all.
After Liu Heng returned to Bianjing from Qingtang, Kou Ji didn't guess what was going on.
Liu Heng, who has spent more than half a year in Qingtanglang, went back to visit Liu Mei. He was caught by Liu Mei and beaten severely.
Frankly speaking, Liu Heng is a rebellious son.
Liu Heng had been to Qingtanglang by himself for more than half a year, but he was very happy.
But Liu Mei has suffered.
Liu Heng got rid of the errand of the Imperial City Secretary and the errand of the closed pile library, all on Liu Mei's head.
In order to help his son keep the official position.
Liu Mei does not worry less about packaging libraries.
In order to avoid being caught in the conversation, Liu Heng was impeached.
After Liu Mei went out and saw other officials, she didn't even dare to speak loudly.
I was afraid that I would speak too loudly and be stared at, and then be implicated on Liu Heng's head.
How frustrated Liu Mei has been in the past six months, he has beaten Liu Heng so fiercely.
Liu Heng was beaten by Liu Mei abruptly, and lay in the fuck for three days.
Then, they were carried by two Qingtang men to Kou's Mansion.
"Four brothers..."
One entered the Kou Mansion.
Liu Heng sat up on the couch and stretched out his arms to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji watched Liu Heng's body wrapped in gauze, angrily and funny, and gave him a bear hug.
Kou Ji also intimately rubbed many scars on Liu Heng's body.
Painful Liu Heng grinned strangely.
"It hurts..."
Kou Ji let go of Liu Heng and snorted coldly: "You have to thank me, thank me for calling you back. If you stay in Qingtang again, your father can take people to Qingtang and bring your body back. "
Liu Heng ordered the two men in Qingtang to carry him into the backyard of the Kou Mansion. After sitting down, he hummed to Kou Ji, "You don't understand Qingtang at all?"
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said disdainfully: "What's good in Qingtang?"
Liu Heng said seriously: "Good people..."
Kou Ji sipped, and said contemptuously: "Qingtang wants nothing, it's not as good as Xixia and Liao, let alone compare with my Dasong. You are a greedy girl, lowly!"
As soon as Liu Heng was about to speak, he saw the Qingtang man next to Liu Heng shouting in anger: "General Liu is in my Qingtang, that's a first-class warrior. Even if we greet the body of our Qingtang girl, that's what it should be.
The most beautiful pearl of my Qingtang should accompany me the most brave warrior of Qingtang. "
Kou Ji was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.
Liu Heng winked at Kou Ji and said, "Have you heard, did you hear..."
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said faintly: "Listen to him, have you been on the battlefield in Qingtang?"
"No, General Liu is in our Qingtang..."
"To shut up!"
The man in Qingtang wanted to interrupt, Kou Ji snorted coldly.
The man in Qingtang opened his eyes with big bronze bells and looked unhappy. Just as he was about to argue, he listened to Liu Heng's reprimand: "Badal, shut up! Sitting in front of you is my brother. General An praised Brother, even if Zamp met him, he must be regarded as a guest."
When the man in Qingtang heard this, he hurriedly saluted Kou Ji.
"Please forgive Badal for his offense..."
Kou Ji didn't bother to pay attention to him, staring at Liu Heng and asked, "How many times have you been on the battlefield?"
Liu Heng shook his head and said, "I haven't counted... Anyway, with the culprit's head, I have the qualifications to command two thousand people in Qingtang."
Kou Jibai gave Liu Heng a look, "I said you were a little reluctant to stay in Qingtang. It turned out that Qingtang Zanpu gave you the power and let you lead the troops to fight."
Liu Heng laughed and said, "I just have such a hobby. I didn't have a chance in Da Song Dynasty. I went to Qingtang. I have a chance to lead the army. I have to give it a try."
Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng, "It doesn't matter if you want to play, but you need to know the severity."
Liu Heng nodded and said, "Compared to the people you sent out, I know the importance of it the most."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said in deep thought, "I ran into them?"
Liu Heng nodded heavily and waved his hands to the two Qingtang guys beside him. After they left, Liu Heng said in admiration, "The person you sent out is really amazing.
Especially the one named Zhang Yuan, who is so powerful.
If it weren't for knowing that you were in Bianjing, I would have thought that you had become him. "
Kou Ji groaned: "They turned into a horse thief in order to help me get a horse as soon as possible. I know this."
Liu Heng said seriously: "They are horse thieves, but they are also the guests in many kings. Many horse thieves in the Western Regions are now working for him, and they have gathered tens of thousands of people. Now, the entire Western Regions, except for them. , No one can provide enough cloth, salt, etc. for the kings' tents.
They are merchants by day and horse thieves by night.
Wuji is rampant in the Western Regions.
Some small tribes are not their opponents at all.
Some big tribes did not dare to provoke them easily.
So Qingtang can steadily crush them, but it's not easy to tear them apart. "
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Kou Ji knew what Liu Heng said.
After all, Zhang Yuan, Yuyou, and the leader of the patrol guard, the three people, will send someone to Kou Ji every month to report on the piece they are responsible for.
So even if Kou Ji is not in the Western Regions, he knows the movements of Zhang Yuan and the three.
The power in their hands is indeed not something that some small tribes can deal with.
But if Qingtang took action against them, it would still be easy.
Zhang Yuan and the three also caused trouble in Qingtang.
Qingtang also sent people to kill.
but.
Zhang Yuan and the three will always lead their own men and horses to escape into the Song Dynasty at a critical moment.
When the soldiers and horses of Qingtang arrived at the border of the Song Dynasty, they could only stop moving.
With the backing of the frontier army of the Great Song Dynasty, acting in the Western Regions, it would be strange if you were not famous.
"I know about this. The number of horses I need is huge. To help me get enough horses, they used some extraordinary methods, which is excusable. Moreover, the Western Regions are not a good place. If they were not fierce, they would have long been There is no more bone residue left after being swallowed."
When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words, he nodded and said, "That's also..."
Liu Heng has been in the Western Regions for more than half a year, and he has seen the ferocity of the Western Regions. Naturally, he knows that what Kou Ji said is not a lie.
In the Western Regions.
As long as there are people, there will be fights and there will be dead people.
A kind-hearted person who enters the Western Regions will become sludge on the cutting board within thirty li.
Only the wicked can live happily in the Western Regions.
The more evil people live in the Western Regions, they will also be moisturized.
It is said that in the Western Regions, a new power is born every day, and a new power dies every day.
