When Cao Tong arrived at Kou's Mansion, Kou Ji was eating alone.
There were only two people in Kou's Mansion who could lie down at the same table for dinner with Kou Ji.
One is Kou Zhun and the other is Xiang Yan.
Kou Zhun is now very busy for his education career. Every day, he is not working on construction sites, or in the study to entertain those officials who have resigned who come to him, as well as self-recommended Confucian scholars.
Xiang Yan went to Xiangfu.
After autumn, Xiang Minzhong fell ill again.
As a granddaughter, Xiang Yan naturally wants to take care of one or two.
I didn't know that Xiang Minzhong was worshipping the gods along the way. Every time it entered the autumn, he always looked like he was about to die, but he couldn't die anyway.
It was another year after a muddled boil.
Kou Ji felt that he probably really wanted to see his great-grandson before leaving.
Kou Ji has also worked hard for this.
It's just that Xiang Yan never got pregnant.
The husband and wife went to see a highly skilled doctor behind their backs.
Neither of them has any symptoms.
But just can't get pregnant.
Cao Tong entered the dining room and saw Kou Ji eating alone, so he was not polite.
He looked at the table and asked the servant of Kou Mansion to bring himself a pair of chopsticks and add a bowl of rice.
Then, holding his job, sat opposite Kou Ji, and gobbled it up like Kou Ji.
The two are now close, and there is no need for politeness.
If Kou Zhun is willing to associate closely with Cao Wei, then the two can go one step further and form a family relationship.
If Kou Ji is guilty and goes to the Cao Mansion to ask for one or two Cao Yu's concubines to come back to the mansion to play, or take another Cao daughter, the two can go one step further and form a family.
Kou Ji went to Cao's mansion to ask for Cao Yu's concubine, and there was no need to worry about Cao Yu's unhappiness.
The custom of sending concubines to each other was first passed down from the family of Jiangmen.
After eating, Kou Ji collapsed on the chair like a salted fish, took a cup of tea, and tasted it.
Cao Tong followed Kou Ji's appearance and slumped beside Kou Ji.
"My fourth uncle agreed..."
"Ok… "
Cao Tong sat up and said in surprise: "Don't you think it is strange?"
Kou Ji put down the tea, turned around and said to the servant behind him: "I feel bitter, go down and get me a new one."
The servant took the tea bowl and left the dining room.
Kou Ji glanced at Cao Yan and said, "What's so strange? The money saved in Jiaozipu has exceeded people's imagination, and it has become another household of the Song Dynasty.
In exchange for the management of Yizijiaozipu with the lives of a few trilogy, there is no reason not to agree. "
Cao Qi said in amazement: "You've already calculated it?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Does it matter?"
Cao Tong sighed and questioned: "Am I too stupid?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "It's not that you are stupid, but that you haven't understood the essence of honor."
Tilting his head for a moment, Kou Ji added: "Or, you are not greedy enough."
Cao Tong smiled bitterly when he heard the words.
"Since my fourth uncle has agreed, tell me what you plan to do. I can also go back and tell my fourth uncle."
Kou Ji turned to his side and looked at Cao Tong and said, "The court has issued an order to abolish the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, do you know?"
Cao Yu said in a dubious voice: "In addition to my Cao Mansion, there is also Li Mansion. The other houses have already rioted. How can I not know."
Kou Ji said calmly: "Your Cao Mansion has secretly voted for the court, which is equivalent to abandoning the Xiang Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Some generals who command the Xiang Army will not get the support of your Cao Mansion. Next, you will definitely be dissatisfied with your Cao Mansion, right?"
Cao Tong nodded and said, "It is true... Someone has already broken up with my Cao Mansion. My fourth uncle is worried about this."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Then you go back and tell your four uncles, there is no need to worry about this. The reason for their trouble is nothing more than a lack of backing. Now your Cao Mansion is not willing to let them rely on, but you can help them find a better one. Great backer."
Cao Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who are you looking for? Although all the families are making trouble, they are all ready to be cut off by the court. Once the court's decree to abolish the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains is implemented.
Then each family must abandon some of the generals who lead the Xiang army.
Each family can't even arrange the generals of Xiangjun under their own door, so how can they accept others? "
Kou Ji smiled and said, "What do you think of the Eight Princes' Mansion?"
Cao Tong was taken aback for a moment, and stared in amazement, "Give people to the Eight Princes' Mansion... I'll be a good boy, and the Eight Princes can still sit on a throne willingly... He still doesn't..."
Cao Tong didn't say the second half of the sentence.
But his meaning has been clearly revealed.
Kou Ji said lightly: "Zhao Yuan is not satisfied with the throne, what does it have to do with me?"
Cao Yu said anxiously: "How can it be okay? If the Eight Kings rise up, Bianjing City will definitely have a big move."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "Wouldn't that just happen to be able to send troops to quell the rebellion, to show loyalty and take credit for it?"
Cao Qi stood up with a cry and stared at Kou Ji in horror.
"You... The opportunity to show loyalty you mentioned earlier is to counter the rebellion? Do you already know something?"
Kou Ji didn't hide it, nodded and said: "The Eight Kings are plotting to usurp the throne. Not only I know it, but my grandfather knows it, and the queen mother knows it too."
"This... this... this..."
Cao Tong was dumbfounded, unable to speak a complete sentence for a time.
After a long time.
Cao Tong asked in disbelief, "Why didn't you stop it?"
Kou Ji said with a strange look: "The Queen Mother wanted to take this opportunity to return to the court, so she stuffed Zhao Yuanyan with a lot of civil and military officials to supplement his wings. I want to take this to give the Queen Mother a hard blow and make her forever. Hold it in the palace and don't come out, so I also want to stuff some people under Zhao Yuanyan's hand so that he can get up as soon as possible."
Cao Tong clenched his fists, trembling all over, and roared, "You are playing with fire!"
Kou Ji said unhurriedly: "The person next to Zhao Yuanyan is Wang Qinruo, who is the queen dowager. The four martial arts personal guards are masters of the equipment supervisor dispatched by the queen dowager.
Among the gang of officials, 50% were waste stuffed by the Queen Mother.
The number of generals recruited had no more than 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses in their hands, and they were also full of spies from the Imperial City Division.
Tell me, how does Zhao Yuanyan win? "
Cao Tong stood there blankly, unable to say a word.
Kou Ji continued: "If I borrow some people from your Cao's family and stuff them in, the water under Zhao Yuanyan's feet will become more muddy. Tell me, how does he win?"
Cao Yan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "That's not a bet! Once Zhao Yuanyan happens, it will be a disaster for us."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "The soldiers of the Dragon God and Second Guards who guard the imperial city have been replaced by well-trained Liangjiazi. My tiger army has been secretly dispatched to Beijing.
The two armies of Tianwu and Holding Japan are all under the control of your families.
More than one hundred thousand elite soldiers are waiting for Zhao Yuanyan to lead a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs. Tell me, how does Zhao Yuanyan win? "
Cao Yu's mouth grew up inch by inch.
Before Zhao Yuanyan got up, Kou Ji and Liu E had clearly arranged the way forward.
He was no longer worried that Zhao Yuanyan would win, instead he was full of pity for Zhao Yuanyan.
If Zhao Yuanyan really got into trouble, and then he wanted to kill his soldiers and horses, it might not only be the ones mentioned by Kou Ji.
Those forbidden troops around Kaifeng Mansion could kill King Qin at any time.
The veterans of the various martial arts families can pull together at any time to form a powerful army.
Previously.
When Zhou Huaizheng rebelled, it ended up in the army pulled up by various martial arts families.
Zhou Huaizheng rebelled. It was armed with an official talisman and mobilized the elite of the Forbidden Army.
It was completely different from the miscellaneous army of Zhao Yuanyan.
Zhou Huaizheng could lead the elite of the Forbidden Army to kill under the imperial city.
It is difficult to say whether Zhao Yuanyan can lead the troops and horses to break through the outer city.
No family of martial arts will follow Zhao Yuanyan to make trouble without the jade talisman or edict.
When Taizong Zhao Guangyi launched a coup in the palace that year, the various martial arts did not move.
Similarly, if Zhao Yuanyan wants to cause chaos, the martial arts will not follow.
It's not that the Wuxuns are not loyal enough.
But the Wuxuns tacitly chose to be loyal to the person on the throne.
No matter who it is, no matter what method is used, sit on the throne.
All Wuxuns will choose allegiance.
Unless the person who sits on the throne will threaten their lives.
Otherwise they will never move.
This is how the Wuxuns survived the turmoil again and again.
"Goooo..."
Cao Yu stayed there for a long time, took a mouthful of water secretly, and forced his shock into his heart, and said in disbelief: "The situation is so unfavorable for Zhao Yuanyan, is Zhao Yuanyan really going to make trouble
Is he so stupid? "
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "Isn't it stupid to start recruiting people to prepare for usurpation without the support of any of your families
If I want to make trouble, I will first bring you Cao family, Li family, and Yang family.
In this way, I dared to recruit people secretly.
If not, I won't even move the thoughts of chaos. "
Cao Tong opened his mouth to refute Kou Ji.
After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a rebuttal to Kou Ji.
As Kou Ji said.
If you don't have Wuxun's support, it's best not to move your mind.
Because it is impossible to succeed.
Wu Xun represents more than just Wu Xun.
It also represents the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty.
Without Wuxun's involvement in the chaos, it would be impossible to mobilize the Da Song Imperial Army.
Can't mobilize the imperial army of the Song Dynasty, even if it becomes, the Wuxuns are not willing to support you, they can overthrow it at any time.
Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin took away the power to directly mobilize the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty from the Wuxuns.
But it didn't stop the children who came out of Wu Xun's house from taking up important positions in the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
now.
The children of Wu Xun's family have infiltrated all parts of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
On weekdays, the imperial court restricted them, and the Wuxuns could not unite together and could not show their strength.
But once there is a turmoil, then the children of the Wuxuns placed in the major forbidden forces can instantly control the entire forbidden army.
Kou Ji saw that Cao Tong was in deep thought, and continued: "Even if Zhao Yuanyan finds any clues, he can't stop usurping the throne. The queen mother doesn't want to see him stop, and I don't want to see him stop, then He couldn't stop.
Taizu can be added by Huangpao, and Zhao Yuanyan can also be added by Huangpao. "
Cao Yu sighed and said in a low voice, "Zhao Yuanyan is too miserable..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "What's wrong with him? If he can't afford to usurp the throne, and be his virtuous king with peace of mind, who can count him? Flies don't bite seamless eggs.
In the final analysis, it was his evil heart.
Can't blame others. "
Cao Yu didn't know that the reason why Zhao Yuanyan gave birth to the idea of usurping the throne, the reason why he dared to usurp the throne, in the final analysis, was also influenced by Kou Ji.
If he knew it, he would definitely slap Kou Ji's face fiercely.
Cao Tong sat down slowly, took a deep breath, and said: "In this way, Zhao Yuanyan is making trouble. It is indeed a good opportunity for my Cao family to be loyal."
Kou Ji suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You forgot my credit..."
Cao Tong was taken aback, and smiled bitterly: "My Cao family naturally remembers the kindness of the fourth brother."
Kou Ji smiled and asked: "Then how do you pay back the Cao family?"
Cao Tong said generously: "As long as my Cao family can figure out what the fourth brother wants, I will definitely give it to you."
Kou Ji faintly said: "Under your Cao family, is the imperial army under your control willing to give it too?"
Cao Tong's face changed, and he smiled dryly: "Fourth brother is joking with me?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "If it's not a joke?"
The smile on Cao Tong's face disappeared instantly, "Four brother, without the Forbidden Army, my Cao family can't stand in the Song Dynasty. You are killing my Cao family.
Kou Ji continued to smile and said, "What if I exchange the two components of the wrought iron workshop?"
Cao Tong was taken aback, and said dryly with a smile: "Why don't you say that you are a member of Yizijiaozipu? If you are a member of Yizijiaozipu, then my Cao family is willing to change."
Kou Ji smiled brightly and said: "Yizijiaozipu has been established for nearly a year. It has one general store, seven sub-stores, and 16 stores under construction. It is expected that within three years, one-word shop Jiaozipu will be installed in various cities.
In fact, Yizijiaozipu can be laid faster.
It's just that there are fewer manpower to manage Yizijiaozipu, which hinders the development of Yizijiaozipu.
But it does not prevent Yizijiaozipu from attracting depositors.
Today, in Kaifeng, Jiangning, and Chuanfu, there are no traces of copper coins in the usual trading transactions.
Everyone is accustomed to direct trading with Jiaozi.
What do you think will be like three years later, when Yizijiaozi shops are covered in various cities
At that time, I will give you the members of the Cao family's Jiaozipu, can your Cao family hold it securely? "
Cao Yu secretly swallowed a mouthful of water and opened his mouth, but could not speak.
Most people in Bianjing City know how much money the Yizijiaozi shop is.
If it is really like what Kou Ji said, it is laid in each city.
The money deposited in the Jiaozipu would exceed the amount anyone could imagine.
The money that Yizijiaozipu can mobilize will exceed everyone's imagination.
Yizijiaozipu moved his finger, the mountain whispered and the tsunami was no problem.
Only one person in the Song Dynasty could control such power.
The rest, peeping at it, the essence is to die.
Kou Ji grinned when he saw Cao Tong's blunt expression, "I'm making a joke with you, do you really believe it?"
