Cao Tong had an idea in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Cao Tong understands Kou Ji, Kou Ji is not the kind of person who likes to talk big.
Since Kou Ji intends to rectify the forbidden army, he will definitely find ways to achieve his goal.
Will not shrink back because of difficulties and obstacles.
Cao Qi didn’t know what his elder brother and son were thinking, so he didn’t care about this issue. Instead, he looked at Cao Wei and asked: “Since Kou Ji intends to use Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne, what should we do? response?"
Cao Wei thought about it, and said, "Do as the kid Kou said."
Cao Xin said in deep thought, "Serians come to Zhao Yuan's command?"
Cao Wei nodded.
Cao Jin hesitated and said: "If we show Zhao Yuanyan the Cypriots under his hand, and the other companies have seen it, I am afraid they will also give Zhao Yuanyan the Cypriots under his hand. The people under Zhao Yuanyan's hands will skyrocket to a huge number in a very short time digital.
What if the tail is too big to end and it is difficult to end? "
Cao Wei said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this. Zhao Yuanyan's purpose is to usurp the throne, not to sweep the world. Therefore, he will only deploy around the city of Bianjing.
The number of soldiers and horses required will not be too much.
Otherwise it's not easy to hide. "
Cao Qi nodded slowly, "Then I can rest assured..."
Cao Wei and the three had a plan, and began to arrange according to Kou Ji's arrangement.
The soldiers that the Cao family needed to keep were transferred from the Xiang Army by Cao Wei before the imperial court's order to abolish the Xiang Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and they were arranged to hide in the Forbidden Army.
The remaining soldiers who were abandoned by the Cao family.
After the imperial court's decree to abolish the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains was delivered, there was a stir.
A general recruited by Zhao Yuanyan used this opportunity to recruit many useful people from the soldiers abandoned by the Cao family.
Zhao Yuanyan's wings are skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After seeing the actions of the Cao family, several generals including Gao, Li, and Shi began to follow suit.
All of a sudden, the soldiers devoted to Zhao Yuanyan's command became more.
Zhao Yuanyan was overjoyed about this.
He had no doubt that it was someone else calculating him.
Instead, he felt that the imperial court made a faint move and let him take advantage.
He even felt that his destiny was in him.
Otherwise, why would the court abolish the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains when he was about to usurp the throne
Obviously, he was given a pillow when he was dozing off.
The imperial court's decree to abolish Xiang forces in the hinterland of the Central Plains lasted for two months, and Zhao Yuanyan recruited more than a hundred generals.
Almost a large part of the generals who were abandoned by the generals chose to invest in Zhao Yuanyan's sect.
Of course.
There are also some generals who are unwilling to devote themselves to Zhao Yuanyan's sect.
They chose a more intense way to express their dissatisfaction to the court.
December is low.
The Xiang army stationed in Yongzhou rebelled.
Guo Yi, the rebel general, beheaded the supervising army and led a tens of thousands of people to raid Lingling County.
Lingling fell.
The family of the prefect of Lingling was beheaded.
The big households in the county were all ransacked.
After Guo Yi led the rebels to capture Lingling, after he wiped out the wealthy households in Lingling County and obtained enough food and grass, he led his army to gradually occupy the entire territory of Yongzhou.
After the incident reached the inner court, the ruling and the opposition shook.
Pingzhang Shi Wang Zeng, under the Shumen of Tongzhong, and Li Di made an order to dispatch the Forbidden Army stationed on Jinghu South Road to Yongzhou to quell the rebellion.
At the beginning of the month.
The two sides fought a big battle in Yingdao County in Daozhou.
The two sides fought fiercely for the fifteenth day.
Wang Zeng and Li Di made an order again, and Li Zhaoliang led a thousand elite soldiers to Daozhou to command the battle.
Wang Yun was promoted to the supervising army and rushed to Daozhou with Li Zhaoliang.
At the end of January.
The Yongzhou rebellion has not yet been put down.
The Xiang troops stationed in 15 states, including Huangzhou, Dazhou, Haizhou, and Weizhou, rebelled successively.
Hundred officials have written letters to impeach Wang Zeng.
Wang was forced to beg for bones.
Zhao Zhen dismissed Wang Zengtong's position as Ping Zhangshi under the school of Zhongshu, and was appointed as Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry.
Li Di moved to the same office as the next Ping Zhang Shi.
After Li Di moved to Pingzhang under Tongzhong Shushu, he decisively went to Ruian Town outside the city and asked Kou Zhun, who was running a school, to come forward and return to the court.
Many days away.
Kou Zhun appeared in the court again.
Although he does not have a position in the same school, he is respected by all people.
Kou Zhun first asked Zhao Zhen to make an order and summoned Lv Yijian to return to the court and serve as a political affair.
Then they forcibly transferred the children of various generals and rushed to the battlefield.
Cao Wei, Gao Chugong, Shi Yuansun and other generals and family leaders were dispatched one after another to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.
Li Di, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and other important officials were sent to various armies to serve as the supervising army.
Almost all the important officials in the DPRK were sent to Bianjing.
Kou Zhun did not adopt any of the strategies proposed by Wang Qinruo, Li Zi, and others for surrendering and appeasement.
Kou Zhun used a tough attitude to tell everyone in the world.
The court wants to deal with you, there is no room for negotiation.
There should not be any fluke.
If the court wants to deal with you, you have only two options.
Either hold it or die.
There is no third way.
Kou Zhun, who was not bound by the official position, acted very aggressively.
It turns out.
Kou Zhun's methods are quite effective.
As the patriarchs of the generals and important ministers arrived in the place, good news from various places came one after another.
On the banks of the Xiangjiang River, Li Zhaoliang killed 3,000 rebels from Guo Yi's army, captured more than 5,000 people, and surrendered more than 50,000 rebels who followed Guo Yi's rebellion.
After the main force of the Guo Yi Department was beheaded, Li Zhaoliang led his troops to the territory of Yongzhou to recover the entire territory of Yongzhou.
After Cao Wei and Li Di arrived in Huangzhou, they led their troops into a pocket formation and wiped out the rebels in Huangzhou.
Gao Chu Gong led the army, chasing the rebels in Dazhou all the way, and chasing them to the Chuan Prefecture.
Haizhou, Weizhou and other places have also achieved gains.
Just when the subjects of Bianjing City were immersed in the joy of a good news.
After several years of preparations, Zhao Yuanyan, who was already full of wings, finally couldn't help it.
Most of the important officials in the DPRK have put down the rebellion everywhere.
Generals who were able to conquer well were also sent to various places.
For Zhao Yuanyan, this is a rare good opportunity.
The fourth day of March.
Dark clouds covered the entire city of Bianjing, but there was no rain.
Kou Ji yawned lazily, lying on the blanket with Chuan Chuan.
Liu Heng hurriedly broke into the courtyard where Kou Ji was resting, and walked towards Kou Ji quickly.
Seeing this, Kou Ji got up.
He pushed it to Chuan Kuan who was crawling over to hug him, squinted his eyes and stared at Liu Heng as he approached, and said, "Is there any action?"
Liu Heng said with a solemn expression: "There are eight horses who left the Eight Princes' Mansion and headed to the Tibetan military field outside the city of Bianjing."
Kou Ji grabbed the fur on Yuankuan's neck and tried to lift it, only to find that Yuankuan had become very fat, so fat that he could no longer lift it with one hand.
Kou Ji could only retreat to the next best thing. He held the two soft ears of Yuankuang, tugged it, and smiled at Liu Heng: "I thought he would do it after Cao Wei and others left Beijing, but I didn't expect him to bear it I have to bear it until now."
Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "When Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others have won, he can only wait for another chance."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, nodded and smiled: "It's also about..."
Kou Ji beckoned.
The servant who was waiting on the side stepped forward.
Kou Ji pointed to Chuan Chuan who was so cute in front of it, "Take care of it..."
The servant agreed.
Kou Ji pushed away the chubby who was holding his thigh, put on his boots, stood up, and said to Liu Heng: "Let's enter the palace..."
Liu Heng nodded and followed Kou Ji's footsteps and left Kou Mansion.
The two crossed their horses and entered the Bianjing city one after another.
All the way to the gate of the palace, after showing his waist card, he paced to Shishitang.
Inside Shishi Hall.
Zhao Zhen is working diligently in governance.
Kou Zhun, like the uncle, lay on a beautiful bed next to him, enjoying the service of the palaces in the palace.
All over the world.
This is probably the only one who is qualified to lie beside him and enjoy when Zhao Zhen is busy.
Saw Kou Ji entered the Shishi Hall.
Kou Zhun was taken aback for a moment, as if thinking of something, he waved his hand to Gong E beside him.
"You go down first!"
Gong E was stunned for a moment.
Kou Zhun stared and looked at Gong E, as well as the eunuchs and Gong E who had heard his words but did not respond, shouting: "Is the old man instructing you not to move?"
Kou Zhun's words awakened Zhao Zhen who was reviewing the memorial.
Zhao Zhen put down the pen and asked with a smile: "How did you offend the Taishi, so don't you want to pay the Taishi?"
"Chen Kou Ji..."
"Chen Liu Hyung..."
"See the official..."
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, his eyes fell on the door, and he smiled and said, "Why are you two here together?"
"Chen Lin, go and bring stools for the two of them."
"..."
Just when Chen Lin was going to move the stool, Kou Ji handed over to Zhao Zhen: "Go back to the official house, the minister has something important to report."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "No wonder Taishi wants these servants to go down first."
Zhao Zhen looked at Gong E and the eunuchs, and smiled indifferently: "You make a compensation to the Taishi, and then retreat."
The eunuchs and Gong E, all salute Zhao Zhen together.
Then Kou Zhun gave courtesy to apologize.
Kou Zhun snorted coldly and ignored them.
After the eunuchs and Gong E had pleaded guilty, they immediately withdrew from Shishitang.
In Shishitang, there are only four people left: Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Kou Ji, and Liu Heng.
After Chen Lin moved the stool, plus Chen Lin, there were five people.
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face has long since disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression, "Are you coming?"
Kou Ji nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to the investigation of the Imperial City Division’s spies, Baqi left the Bawang’s Mansion just now, presumably to dispatch troops and horses to the Tibetan army. If the minister’s expectation is not bad, at night today, the rebels will Soldiers are approaching the city."
For this matter.
Zhao Zhen was not surprised.
Zhao Zhen knew about it long before Wang Zeng was dismissed from Tongzhong Shumen Pingzhang.
When Wang was impeached by hundreds of officials, he couldn't make up his mind.
Zhao Zhen personally went to Ruian Town outside the city, the Kou Mansion House, and asked Kou Zhun what he should do.
It was Kou Zhun who gave Zhao Zhen's suggestion that Zhao Zhen first dismissed Wang Zengtong from the position of Ping Zhangshi under the school.
Kou Ji took this opportunity to tell Zhao Zhen that Zhao Yuanyan was about to usurp the throne.
Kou Ji did this because Kou Zhun reminded him.
Kou Zhun reminded Kou Ji that this matter should not be hidden from Zhao Zhen, otherwise it is easy to create a gap between the monarch and the minister.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji have a close relationship, and they almost talk about everything.
Kou Jiruo concealed Zhao Zhen blindly on such matters.
Then when Zhao Zhen knows the truth, he will definitely alienate Kou Ji.
By that time, how close the relationship between the two was, the distance between them will be.
Kou Ji is not Liu E.
Liu E can ignore Zhao Zhen's emotions, but Kou Ji cannot.
After Kou Ji told Zhao Zhen the truth.
Zhao Zhen was shocked and did not speak for a long time.
It was after Kou Zhun's repeated reassurance that he accepted this fact.
At the same time, he agreed to cooperate with Kou Ji, lead the snake out of the cave, and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
now.
Zhao Yuanyan has already taken the bait, and Zhao Zhen no longer needs to pretend that he does not know this.
Zhao Zhen stared at the outside of Shishi Hall in a daze, muttering to himself, "Is the Eighth Emperor really the opposite?"
Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze, fell on the dragon chair he was sitting on, and asked himself: "For this dragon chair, does the Eight Emperor's uncle really ignore family affection?"
After talking to myself.
Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said mournfully: "I originally thought that as long as the Eight Emperors cannot usurp the throne, I can pretend not to know what he is doing underneath.
But now it seems that I can't pretend anymore. "
Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "Officials, now that things are up, there is no way to talk about personal affairs anymore. The top priority is to prepare to meet the enemy."
Zhao Zhen nodded and looked at Kou Ji and said, "This matter will be handled by Kou Aiqing. I will sit here and will not go anywhere, waiting for news from Aiqing."
Kou Ji arched his hand and asked, "Does the official family want to live or die?"
Zhao Zhen kept silent, was silent for a long time, closed his eyes in pain, and said: "After the Eight Emperors' uncle is defeated, if you ask for mercy, let him make a living. If it is stubborn, then you can figure it out."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said in amazement: "Officials, forgive the eighth princes, you are in charge of the officials, and the ministers can't figure it out."
Zhao Zhen sighed: "After all, it is my uncle of blood, I really can't open that mouth."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and stopped talking.
Liu Heng clasped his fist decisively and said, "Leave the matter to the minister."
Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Kou Zhun all stared together and looked at Liu Heng.
None of them expected that Liu Heng was so bold that he would dare to take this job.
Kou Ji tugged Liu Heng's sleeve, really wanting Liu Heng to take back what he had just said.
Zhao Zhen did not personally order Zhao Yuanyan to be killed, and no one could act as a killer on Zhao Yuan.
Whoever kills will have to wear small shoes in the future.
Liu Heng proceeded and said in a deep voice: "The ministers in the Imperial City Department are doing those shameful activities, and what they can do is to solve the unspeakable sorrows of the officials."
Kou Ji gave a wry smile.
What Liu Heng said was correct.
Kou Ji knew why he said this.
It's nothing more than trying to show loyalty to Zhao Zhen, so as to find a way for the Liu family.
But Kou Ji was still reluctant to let Liu Heng interfere with Zhao Yuan's assassin.
Kou Ji immediately took a step forward and said, "It's up to the minister to do it."
When Zhao Zhen saw this, he sighed, and said, "If the Eighth Uncle is really stubborn, then send him to serve my father. But don't tell my uncle about this matter, and don't say anything about it. Let him know."
