"Anything else?"
Kou Ji questioned.
Kou Zhun nodded and smiled: "Naturally, there is... power to the point of an old man. In fact, ordinary government affairs don't need too much attention, and the trivial matters in the hall do not need to be done by themselves.
You only need to guide and decide on some major issues that can influence the country.
However, we have been governed by officials for a long time, and as soon as the national government has been determined, there are very few major events that can influence the country.
The big things that the old man needs to guide and decide are naturally less.
Therefore, the power granted to the old man by the official family is enough to allow the old man to control the court. "
Kou Zhun said proudly: "Nowadays, the old man does not need to work on the trivial affairs of the court, but he can also control the court, which is far more comfortable than before. Or you kid smart, can use Liu E's plan to come up with the old man. Such a wonderful way to get out.
If the old man could use this strategy to get out early, he might live a few more years. "
Kou Ji was taken aback, and laughed in a low voice: "If this is the case, then I don't have to feel guilty in my heart..."
Kou Zhun smiled and said: "The old man's grandson, in order to let the old man live a few more years, admonish the old man, what guilt? Go down quickly and tell the people in the house to prepare the incense case and prepare to take the order.
The resignation of the old man was not small.
There is more than one edict enshrined by officials.
Let the people in the house prepare early. "
Kou Ji nodded and agreed, and left Kou Zhun's study.
After Kou Ji left, the smile on Kou Zhun's face slowly dissipated, and he sighed unwillingly.
He didn't lie to Kou Ji, he could indeed use the power given to him by Zhao Zhen to control the court.
But suddenly from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, he is always unwilling.
People always like to stand under the most brilliant light and want others to show off the good things they have in their hands.
There are very few people who like Jinyi Nightwalking.
Those who have tried to live under the most splendid light are hidden behind the scenes, and even fewer walks in brocade clothes.
Kou Ji stood outside Kou Zhun's study and sighed likewise.
Whether Kou Zhun's words were true or not, Kou Ji didn't distinguish it carefully.
What he worries most is Kou Zhun's mood. He is afraid that Kou Zhun will be depressed and sick.
With Kou Ji's current status and status, even without Kou Zhun's support and Kou Zhun's help, he can still control the court.
Since Yizijiaozipu started to set up branches in various cities within the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Da Song's money will continue to fall into his hands.
One day, Da Song's financial and power will be in his hands.
The powerful horse thief in the hands of Tiger Army, Patrol Guard, and Zhang Yuan can be mobilized by him at will.
Zhu Neng can also mobilize the cronies and soldiers who walked around.
If he is willing, it is enough to gather an army loyal to him.
There are three in his hand for the steel forging workshop.
One in Bianjing, one in Baozhou, and one in Leizhou.
Although the steel forging workshop in Leizhou is still under construction, it is larger in scale than the one outside the city of Bianjing.
Once it is completed, there will be a steady stream of steel for his drive.
He can use these steel materials to create all kinds of sharp weapons.
Above the court, with Kou Zhun's resignation, Li Di, Chen Lin and other people who were guarding him will completely relax their vigilance against him.
By virtue of his friendship, he could borrow the power of Wang Zeng, Li Di, Cao Wei and many other important officials.
Power, money, people.
Kou Ji is also not lacking now.
Over time, his power, money, and people will only grow stronger.
One day, it will grow so strong that when he speaks, the world is silent.
Therefore, whether Kou Zhun holds the power, Kou Ji is not very concerned.
If Kou Zhun had no power, he would have worked harder at best.
If Kou Zhun has the right, he is at best less obstructive and troublesome.
Kou Ji's most sincere thought now is that he hopes Kou Zhun can live in peace and enjoy the end of his life.
just.
Advising Kou Zhun to resign, after all, caused a certain amount of psychological harm to Kou Zhun.
The reason why Kou Zhun was so open-minded in the room was because he was afraid that he would feel guilty because of it, and it was just to comfort him.
He felt Kou Zhun's good intentions, so he just pretended to believe it.
Kou Ji glanced back at Kou Zhun’s study, stepped out of the yard where the study was located, and told Kou Zhong who was waiting at the entrance of the yard: “My grandfather needs to be quiet in recent days. You restrain the housekeepers and maids. Let them not bother at will.
Then tell the manager of the outer court, let him prepare the incense case, prepare to accept the order. "
Kou Zhong stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What happened?"
As an old servant who has followed Kou Zhun for many years, Kou Zhong knows Kou Zhun far better than Kou Zhun himself.
When Kou Zhun entered the house today, he looked beaming, but the trace of unwillingness in his eyes was still noticed by Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhun and Kou Ji were talking in the study just now, and Kou Zhong was not waiting for him, so Kou Zhong didn't know what happened.
"You'll know in a while..."
Kou Ji said quietly and stepped away.
Kou Zhong looked at Kou Ji's back, then turned around and looked at Kou Zhun's study, thoughtfully.
Kou Zhong ordered the family outside the study to keep the study, and then went to the outer courtyard to spread the word.
After receiving Kou Zhong's instructions, the director of the outer court immediately began to prepare the incense case.
Zhao Zhen's wedding is still going on, but there is no delay in Kou Zhun's award.
In the Manchu dynasty civil and military munching on the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace.
The people in Zhongshushe, under Zhao Zhen's instructions, hurriedly rushed.
Recover the ancestors of the Kou family.
Chase Kou's late wife.
Give the seal to the Kou Zhun.
Add Kou Li.
Seal Kou Ji.
…
The edicts one by one were drafted quickly and stamped with a jade seal.
The eunuch held the edict and was escorted by the imperial guards, and they were sent to the Kou Mansion one by one.
There was also an episode when the Zhongshushe was insulting.
Because Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's grandson and grandson were too popular, Kou Li, who was caught in the middle, had no sense of existence.
If it were not for Li Di, Wang Zeng, Wang Qinruo and other veteran officials, Kou Ji's young age, adding some second-rank false titles was too shocking, I am afraid that no one could think of Kou Mansion and Kou Li.
It was precisely because of Kou Li's existence that he helped Li Di, Wang Zeng and others solve the trouble of sealing Kou Ji.
Li Di, Wang Zeng and others consumed part of the official Zhao Zhen's Long En by naming Kou Li.
However.
Kou Zhun became a sage in an instant.
The Long En bestowed by Zhao Zhen is naturally indispensable.
But I couldn't give Kou Ji generously, so most of Long En fell on Kou Li's head.
Someone used Kou Li to calculate the affairs of Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandchildren, but Kou Zhun did not hide it.
So Wang Zeng and Li Di both knew about it.
Kou Li must stay in Leizhou, a place far away from the emperor, so as not to cause trouble to Kou Mansion.
Then, Cole can't be granted a real position.
As a result, Kou Li, who was far away in Leizhou, had a long list of false titles.
Kou Li consumed the Long En bestowed by Zhao Zhen.
Ron, who fell on Kou Ji's head, became very few.
When a letter of edict was delivered to Kou's Mansion.
Kou Zhun’s Shiyi, Kou Li and Kou Ji’s awards were also announced to the public.
The team for sending edicts is huge.
The eunuchs sent not only the edicts, but also the jade medals, python robes, jade belts, and three rites of the emperor given to Kou Zhun.
There were also many people onlookers, and the three floors outside the Kou Mansion were crowded with people.
Kou Zhun has become a sage and no longer needs to salute anyone.
But when receiving an order, he cannot stand.
So Kou Zhun didn't come out in the study.
Kou Ji, on behalf of Kou Mansion, received all the imperial decree.
To show Longen.
The edicts of the three generations of Kou's ancestors and grandchildren have a full 18 letters.
One by one sent to Kou Mansion.
Kou Ji bowed and stood in front of the incense case for two hours before receiving the eighteen edicts.
Every edict is very mediocre, and it is naturally time-consuming to read it out by the eunuch's yin and yang.
Kou Li was given four false titles, and his official position jumped all the way to the fourth rank. The biggest false title was Zheng Feng doctor of the fourth rank.
Compared with Kou Li, Kou Ji was only awarded one official position.
Direct bachelor degree from Sanpin Baowen Pavilion.
Although there is only one position, the gold content is higher than all the positions in Coley's body combined.
This marked that Kou Ji had broken through the fourth-rank threshold and entered the ranks of the third-rank.
It also marked Kou Ji's formal entry into the ranks of important ministers.
Although Kou Ji was considered a heavy minister before, he only had the power of a heavy minister in authority, but he did not have the title of a heavy minister.
With the title of direct bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, Na Kou Ji is a worthy minister.
In addition.
With the title of direct bachelor of Baowen Pavilion, it marked Kou Ji's status as a prime minister.
As long as there is a vacancy in the seat of the third court in the court, Kou Ji is eligible to participate in the court meeting and compete for the vacancy in the court.
Of course, Kou Ji can't really compete for the position of three in the inner court, at least not now.
Because although he is now eligible to compete, he is not enough age and qualifications to convince the crowd.
But it doesn't mean it won't work in the future.
In addition, Kou Zhun’s Shiyi is worth mentioning.
One hundred real towns, one thousand food towns.
Shiyi and Shiyi have the same pronunciation, but the effect is completely different.
One has autonomy and the other has no autonomy.
The former is controlled by the Kou Mansion, managed by itself, and collected taxes by itself, which is equivalent to having a part of its own citizens and its own small fief.
The latter is controlled by the court, managed by the court, collected taxes by the court, and then converted into money and food for you, which is equivalent to eating an extra food and payment.
The former is not owned by many of the Zhao family members.
The reason why Kou Ji can have great autonomy in Jiangling food town is because his food town originated from Zhao Yuanzuo.
Instead of getting it directly from the court.
With Zhao Yuanzuo's identity and status, how many people in the court dared to manage his food town
There are many officials in the DPRK who are not afraid of death.
But the court did not need to provoke him.
If he is on fire.
Initiated soaring.
His own father, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, returned to life, and could not stop him.
It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji's food town is considered the most maverick in the Song Dynasty.
After Kou Ji received the eighteen edicts and sent them to Kou Zhun's room, the grandfather and grandson scolded everyone not to be disturbed, and went back to the room to sleep.
However, everyone inside and outside the city of Kou's mansion was fried.
The people in Kou's mansion gathered together in small groups and talked quietly.
Even if the housekeeper was reprimanded too much, he couldn't stop it.
The people inside and outside the city of Bianjing rushed to tell each other, and they said when they met.
Kou Zhun has resigned!
A sage came out of the Song Dynasty!
The news swept the entire Bianjing city like a gust of wind.
Many people rushed to the Kou Mansion in spite of the darkness of the sky.
One by one was excited and couldn't help himself.
It seems to be on a pilgrimage.
The limelight of Kou Zhun overshadowed the limelight of Zhao Zhen's wedding in an instant.
But no one was held accountable, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.
Until late at night, the people did not leave.
The shouts of the people shocked the people in the Kou Mansion, unable to sleep.
Inside the Four Jun's Garden.
Kou Ji was wearing a white lining, lying on his hips, wrapped his head tightly with a quilt, still unable to stop the people's shouts from reaching their ears.
"Can't sleep?"
Xiang Yan sat on the side of the bed with a little excitement and asked.
"Ok!"
Kou Ji rolled over and hummed.
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji who was covering his head with a quilt, and laughed in a low voice: "I can't sleep with my concubine..."
"Ok!"
"Get up and talk to your concubine, what's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal, but his grandfather, the old man, resigned from his official position through the official wedding and retired."
"..."
Xiang Yan said in surprise, "Isn't this a big deal?"
The fact that Kou Zhungong succeeded in retiring is now known throughout the city.
As the hostess of Kou Mansion, Xiang Yan naturally knew.
Just to hear more from Kou Ji's mouth that she didn't know, so she pretended to be surprised.
Kou Ji lifted the corner of the quilt and hummed: "What a big deal... Grandfather has been sealed, and if he stays in the court, the big deal will happen."
Xiang Yan groaned: "Can grandfather let go of the power of one person above ten thousand people?"
Kou Ji mumbled: "Can't let go..."
Xiang Yan wondered: "Since I can't let go, why would I still beg for bones..."
"If you can't let it go, you have to let it go... otherwise it will be dangerous..."
"What's the danger?"
"After some time you will know... Someone will show it to you in person..."
"How long does it take to live some days..."
"As short as a few months, as long as three to five years..."
"What is the danger?"
"Compared to this, you should be concerned about Xiangfu's movements. The younger sister has now become a member of the official family, and the official family has also given her name. Today, among the many edicts in Yanfu Palace, there are those who canonized Xiangfu. The edict..."
Kou Ji turned off the subject, turned his head away, covered himself with the quilt, and continued to pretend to sleep.
Xiang Yan laughed and said: "The little girl became the official concubine, and my uncles and brothers were granted the title. It's just that the younger sister is not a queen. How much reward can the official give to the Xiang family...
Not much...
Which is like our Kou Mansion...
My concubine has stayed in Bianjing for these years, but I have never seen that mansion, which can have the glory of our Kou Mansion. "
"Ok… "
Kou Ji dealt with it casually.
Xiang Yan said excitedly.
In this way, Kou Ji fell asleep amidst the noise of many people outside the house.
I don't know why.
In recent days, because of Zhao Zhen's big wedding, in order to investigate the plans of Liu E and others, Kou Ji has not had a good night's sleep.
Now that he relaxes, Kou Ji naturally wants to have a good night's sleep.
Kou Ji slept until noon the next day.
Kou Ji was awakened by the shouts of the people outside Kou's mansion.
Compared to last night.
The shouts of the people outside the Kou Mansion were louder today.
