"I... I..."
Seeing Kou Zhun and Kou Ji ancestors and grandsons kneeling in front of him, Zhao Zhen's eyes were teary and he stammered speechless.
Liu E, Wang Qinruo and others tried to stop them, but they were not easy to speak up.
As a veteran of the three dynasties, Kou Zhun knelt to resign, obviously he had decided to leave.
Even if they stopped aloud, it was only a delay of a moment and a half.
As long as Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors and grandsons cannot kneel down.
Zhao Zhen refuses to allow it now, and will allow it in the future.
Because Kou Zhun's bones were not enough to support Kou Zhun to kneel down for a long time.
If Kou Zhun knelt and fainted in Yanfu Palace.
Zhao Zhen will inevitably lose the reputation of not cherishing old officials.
Seeing that Kou Zhun's intentions had been decided, Zhao Zhen could not stop him, so he could only raise his head and look at Li Di, Wang Zeng and others with a plea for help.
Wang Zeng squirmed his lips, trying to speak, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
Kou Zhun insisted on begging to go, Wang Zeng probably guessed something about it.
Kou Zhunquan swept into the field, with one person below ten thousand people, not only followed by a large number of civilian officials, but also by Zhu Neng and other military officials who controlled the military power.
Kou Ji is brilliant and brilliant. After joining the officialdom, he has repeatedly made feats. He holds in his hand the word Jiaozipu that cannot be ignored, the powerful fighting force of the tiger character, the Ministry of Industry with a lot of tricks, and the son-in-law of Xiangfu, which can be borrowed. With all the political resources in Xiang Minzhong's hands, he has close contacts with top generals such as the Cao family, the Li family, and the Yang family. There are hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to die for them.
The grandfather and grandson almost hold half the power of the court in their hands.
Money, power, people, grandparents and grandchildren have everything in their hands.
The power of Kou Mansion has exceeded the power that the courtiers should have.
The grandfather and grandson have already stepped on the throne with half their feet.
Half a step forward, that is the earth upside down.
As long as their grandparents have more power in their hands.
Those followers behind them would not hesitate to escort them to the throne.
At that time, no one will ask their grandchildren if they want it.
Kou Zhun begs to go now, it's just right.
It not only completes the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, but also suppresses the signs of chaos by those careerists and speculators.
A minister.
As it is.
Wang Zeng took a solemn step forward, facing Kou Zhun, raised his hands over his chest, and bends down deeply.
Wang could have thought of it.
Li Di can naturally think of it.
Li Di was still worried about Kou Ji's use of Kou Zhun's power to make trouble.
Now that I saw Kou Zhun's request to go, I didn't feel greedy for power at all, and felt guilty in my heart.
I feel a little bit like a villain to save the abdomen of a gentleman.
Li Di took a step forward with a look of guilt, facing Kou Zhun, and bends down deeply.
Wang Zeng and Li Di are the leaders.
The other civil servants came out of work one after another, respectfully facing Kou Zhun, and bend down deeply.
One after another…
The civil servants bent down in a most respectful manner.
Among the military ministers.
Headed by Cao Wei, a group of military officials looked at Kou Zhun with very complicated eyes.
For them, having great power means having a lot of money.
Kou Zhun can let go of everything so easily.
They are not as good as also.
"Gong Kou!"
Cao Wei took a step forward and bent down towards Kou Zhun.
The military officials followed Cao Wei and bent down together.
…
"Such a sage, even though he is not from Liao, he should be respected..."
The Liao State envoy sighed and bowed to salute.
…
"If there is such a character in Xixia, why have I fallen to Sri Lanka..."
Xixia's envoy gritted his teeth, growled in grief, and bowed in salute.
…
Goryeo...
Dali...
Cochin...
Qingtang...
…
Envoys from various countries and states all bowed and saluted.
They are all nobles of various countries, knowing how difficult it is to let go after a person has taken control of the world.
It's like Kou Zhun is such a virtuous person, let alone them.
Even if their emperor, country leader, and chieftain saw them, they were treated with courtesy.
Seeing this, Liu E, Wang Qinruo and others were bleeding in their hearts.
The general trend.
Kou Zhun's resignation is irreversible.
Even so.
Liu E still had to get up, paying respect to Kou Zhun with a look of grief.
Wang Qinruo still had to get up and bend down.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen trembled and couldn't say a word.
Empress Cao squeezed Zhao Zhen's hand and whispered.
"Officials..."
Zhao Zhen slowly recovered, and the reminder from Empress Cao seemed to give Zhao Zhen courage.
Zhao Zhen let go of the hand holding Kou Zhun, and slowly straightened up.
In the eyes of Liu E, Wang Qinruo, Li Di, Wang Zeng, etc., Kou Zhun's begging to go may have certain political goals.
But in Zhao Zhen's eyes, Kou Zhun begged to go, as if an elder who treated him generously and helped him solve all kinds of troubles was leaving him.
Kou Zhun begged to go, whether he had any other purpose, he didn't think too much, and he didn't want to think too much.
He is the closest elder to Kou Zhun.
That's it.
In the few years he has passed, the ones who accompany him the most and teach him the most.
Only Kou Zhun.
Even if it was Zhao Heng's father, he couldn't compare to Kou Zhun.
When Zhao Heng was alive, Zhao Zhen was young and Zhao Heng rarely accompanied him. He was either stuffed into the harem and let Liu E and others take care of him, or he was thrown to Xiang Minzhong, Wang Zeng and others to teach.
Chen Lin has been with him for a long time, but she has always regarded herself as a slave and handled things like a slave.
There is no way to teach him by precept and deeds like Kou Zhun as an elder.
Letting a close elder leave is a painful decision for Zhao Zhen, who has few relatives.
But even if his heart was cut, he had to make a decision in pain.
Because he is an official.
He can't be like a teenager in the home of ordinary people, holding the elders, crying loudly, and begging the elders not to leave.
Crying loudly is an extravagant hope for him.
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun with red eyes.
I asked in a mournful voice.
'Teacher, is this your last teaching to me? Do you want to tell me in this way that after all, I still need to pick up the burden? '
Zhao Zhen whispered in his heart, and whispered in a low voice: "I... Allowed..."
Kou Zhun pulled Kou Ji and thanked him immediately.
Zhao Zhen closed his eyes in pain, and said in mournfulness: "Chief Taishi’s position as the chief regent of state affairs... The Taishi was cut with the post of Pingzhangshi under the school of Zhongshu... Jin Taishi is... Zhenguo Duke... the first class of the Duke of Jue … Give the mang robe a jade belt and purple gold crown… Give the emperor’s three rituals, wherever I go, such as when I visit… Give the jade medal side, both up and down the Song Dynasty, all passable, the imperial palace forbidden gardens are among them...
(Zhen Guo Duke, first appeared in the late Northern Song Dynasty, was awarded the title of Zhao Mo Jue by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, and ranked first among the dukes. Borrow here for a use, don’t spray if you don’t like it.)
Speaking of the last, Zhao Zhen couldn't go on, gritted his teeth, inhaled and told Wang Zeng: "On the matter of Shiyi, I will discuss the matter in the inner court... Kou Ji will be rewarded, and the inner court will also discuss..."
Kou Zhun pulled Kou Ji and thanked him again.
"Chen Kou Zhun, thank the officials for their generous gifts."
After a deep bow.
Kou Zhun got up and bowed his hands to everyone in Yanfu Palace.
I took a step and walked outside Yanfu Palace.
Kou Ji hurriedly got up and bowed his hand to Zhao Zhen, "Chen Kou Ji, leave first..."
After the ceremony, he followed Kou Zhun's footsteps.
With tears in his eyes, Zhao Zhen slowly raised his hand, "Send Kou Gong..."
Everyone in Yanfu Palace, Qi Qi once again saluted Kou Ji's back.
"Gong Kou Gong..."
"..."
A sage was born.
It's just that this sage is not as inhumane as the legendary sages.
When Kou Ji's figure appeared beside Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun kicked Kou Ji's butt.
"Boom..."
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and let Kou Zhun kick him, and said, "Grandfather, I also do it for your good..."
"The old man knows..."
Kou Zhun curled his lips and murmured unwillingly.
Kou Ji said dissatisfied: "Then you still kick me?"
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji as he walked out of the palace, and hummed: "The old man's career is over. But your kid has picked up a big deal because of this. Can the old man kick you out of your anger?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "I didn't pick up any big bargains? The officials threw the power of rewarding me to the inner court. According to the temperament of the prince and the prince, they won't give me too high a reward."
Kou Zhun took a meal and yelled: "Your kid only knows to stare at your own one-third of acre, and you don't look at the others? You didn't plan to figure out the doorway in the old man's reward?"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and looked confused.
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and snorted coldly: "The python robe, jade belt, and purple golden crown are all given... The title has also been promoted to the highest point of being a courtier... When the old man dies, a king is indispensable...
At that time, it's not your kid who enjoys all his wealth.
Can the old man crawl out of the coffin and share the wealth with you? "
Kou Ji was taken aback.
Just now I just looked at the ugly faces of Liu E, Wang Qinruo and others, and didn't pay attention to Kou Zhun's award.
Now that Kou Zhun mentions it, it really is.
Regardless of whether it was his resignation or his death, the award of Kou Zhun's contribution to Song Dynasty was inevitable.
Now Zhao Zhen has promoted Kou Zhun's title to the highest position, and has also given a python robe and jade belt that the king can equip.
Once Kou Zhun drives Hexi to go one step further, it will be Wang Jue.
As for whether there will be changes due to the change of the throne, Kou Ji doesn't have to worry about it.
According to historical records, Zhao Zhen lived 53 years old and reigned for 41 years.
It can be regarded as the emperor with the longest reign of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen could live to be fifty-three years old under various poisons.
Now that Kou Ji has helped him avoid all kinds of poisons, he may get longer.
But it's obviously not the time to care about this now.
"Grandfather... You are not sad..."
Kou Ji carefully accompanied Kou Zhun and asked tentatively.
Kou Zhun pouted his lips and said, "What are you sad about?"
"Not sad?"
"Sad... a little bit... The official is sad because of the old man's departure, and the old man feels very uncomfortable."
"..."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then tentatively said: "From now on, you will not be the grandfather of one person under 10,000 people... Don't you feel at all in your heart?"
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji contemptuously, "How should the old man feel, distraught? He's crying?"
Seeing that Kou did not feel sad because he had left the center of power, Kou Ji was slightly relieved.
He was really afraid that Kou Zhun would become sullen and suffocated because of the dismissal of the aspect.
Koti smiled dryly: "I thought you would be very sad..."
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and looked at Kou Ji as if looking at an idiot, "What's so sad? The old man has left the center of power. But what has the official family bestowed the old man, have you heard ."
"What's the point?"
"Go back and talk about it."
"..."
The grandfather and grandson hurriedly left the palace and returned to the Kou Mansion.
All the way to the study.
After Kou Zhun withdrew all the servants and maids who were serving in and outside the study, he said quietly to Kou Ji: "Do you know what is most valuable when the official family bestows the old man today?"
Kou Ji sat opposite Kou Zhun and said in deep thought, "Guo-Guo Zhen?"
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes, and said with a heavy tone: "It is the three rites of the emperor, and the jade medal. The three rites of the emperor, that is the honor of the emperor. That is to say, wherever the old man goes, his status is equal to that of an official.
That jade card can pass anywhere in the upper and lower parts of the Song Dynasty.
That is to say, the old man can go anywhere he wants. "
Kou Ji said in a puzzled way: "Anything to say?"
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and hummed: "Where the emperor goes, do you think there is room for others to talk?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth blankly, "The power is so powerful, is it fake?"
Kou Zhun coldly snorted: "If you don't learn and have no skills... How can it be false if you don't give other restraints to the things bestowed by the officials? In the past, the imperial court gave the king's command flag, and that one was covered with many flags before receiving the flag. constraint.
Although they can borrow some of the power of the emperor, they have to abide by many constraints.
But do you see that the officials have restrictions on the old man? "
Kou Ji took a breath.
"Wouldn't it be side by side with the official family? It's pretty good..."
Kou Zhun hummed: "This is why the old man is not sad or sad after he resigns. Because the old man discovered that after the old man resigned, his power is greater than before."
Kou Ji said in disbelief: "Then why didn't I see the Manchu civil and military blocking it? It stands to reason that if the official family wants to give you such great authority, the Manchu civil and military should come forward to stop it.
The Queen Mother, Wang Qinruo and others shouldn't be indifferent? "
Kou Zhun turned away from Kou Ji and said, "That's because you only saw the advantages but not the disadvantages. Although the old man has gained more power, it is difficult to show his power in front of others.
If you want to use the power you have at hand to interfere in the affairs of the government, you have to ask the official for instructions or hand over documents to the inner court.
Moreover, it is not necessary to interfere frequently in government affairs, otherwise it will lead to impeachment of the Manchu civilization.
The official family gave me more power, but the old man couldn't be arrogant, and used the power in his hands to the extreme.
This is the way to serve as a minister, you have to study hard. "
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "There is such a statement... I have neglected... I just want to ask you to resign, so as to avoid the calculations of the Queen Mother and others, and to gain the greatest power.
But I didn't expect such a big constraint. "
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and suddenly grinned, "It's rare that your kid miscalculated, so the old man won't scare you, and the old man will tell you the truth."
