Zhao Zhen understands the thoughts of Kou Ji and Liu Heng.
It is precisely because Zhao Zhen understands that Zhao Zhen is reluctant to continue to pose problems for the two of him.
He forcibly endured the discomfort in his heart and said the words to kill Zhao Yuanyan.
Kou Ji solemnly arched his hands: "Chen Zunzhi..."
Kou Ji retracted his hand and looked at Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Don't worry about it..."
Kou Ji nodded, and said to Chen Lin who was silent beside Zhao Zhen: "There is father-in-law Chen, protecting the official family and my grandfather."
Chen Lin bowed slightly and said in a low voice: "The Kou Industry Department will only do big things. The officials and teachers, our family will take care of them."
Kou Ji stopped talking and took Liu Heng out of Shishitang.
Kou Ji left.
Chen Lin said loudly: "With the imperial guard, stationed at Shishitang."
Following Chen Lin's order.
The imperial guards in the palace crowded together in front of Shishitang.
One by one, wearing armor and holding a blade, all with a killing aura.
Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair, staring at the Yu Qianwei outside the Shishi Hall, gritted her teeth and said: "She knows that the Eighth Emperor is going to usurp the throne, but she doesn't tell me. My heart is very unhappy.
But not happy, not happy.
I still want to keep her comprehensive.
Chen Lin, divided into 80% imperial avant-garde, went to the palace of the queen mother, concubine Li, and concubine Yang. "
Chen Lin was taken aback and hurriedly exhorted: "Officials, never. If there is a culprit hiding in the palace, the 20% of the imperial guards will not be able to protect you."
Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "Do as I ordered."
"Officials!"
"Are you a servant girl, or I am a servant girl..."
Chen Lin bowed her head with a bitter face, and said in a sad voice: "Slaves... Follow the order..."
Just when Chen Lin was about to leave, Kou Zhun patted the beauty couch she was sitting on and yelled: "Come on to the imperial dining room, and let the chef of the imperial dining room make some old man's favorite foods and deliver them."
Chen Lin had a meal at her feet, facing Kou Zhun, and said yes before leaving Shishitang.
After Chen Lin left.
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun and said in a sad voice: "Taishi, tell me, what should I do?"
Kou Zhun was taken aback, facing Zhao Zhen, and said in doubt: "Kou Ji will do it for you. You can just sit down and wait for the news."
Zhao Zhen looked at the location of Liu E's bedroom and said helplessly: "I mean... What should I do if the queen mother appears in Shishitang today?"
Kou Zhun was stunned again, pretending to be very casual and said: "Then it depends on whether the official is willing to hand over the power in his hand. This matter is entirely up to the official's will. If you ask the old minister, the old minister doesn't know how to answer."
Zhao Zhen said in an anxious tone: "Taishi has always been so wise, can't he give me an idea?"
Kou Zhun patted his forehead and curled his lips and said: "The old minister has resigned, and the old minister should not take care of things in the court. This time he is back in the court, and it was also Wang Zeng and Li Di who begged hard, and the old minister had no choice. Don't come out to preside over the overall situation.
Once the world is in Jingping, the old minister still has to return to Ruian Town and continue to open a school. "
Zhao Zhen's face was ugly and said: "I don't want to hand over power. Taishi, you have worked tirelessly to train me for many years and teach me hand in hand for many years. Now is the time for me to confirm the knowledge taught by Taishi, and I don't want to stay behind the scenes.
But I can't stop the queen mother from reaching into the court. "
Kou Zhun curled his lips and said calmly: "The old minister can't help it..."
Zhao Zhen stubbornly said: "I don't believe that Taishi can't help it."
Kou Zhun faintly said: "The old minister is now holding his fingers and living a day and one day less. The old minister still has to spend the rest of his life to cultivate more talents for me. How can I have free time to interfere with your housework."
Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I heard that the Taishi is running a school outside the city, and there is still a lack of a plaque. I can write a plaque and give it to the academy."
Kou Zhun groaned: "The veteran's academy recruits only the poor, and the official imperial pen is optional..."
Zhao Zhen continued: "How about setting aside ten thousand taels of gold from Neiku every year to fund those poor students to study?"
Kou Zhun groped for the beard on his chin, and whispered: "The old minister deliberately planted those students before entering the official position to go to various government offices to serve as small officials. I wonder if the official can help the old minister?"
Zhao Zhen solemnly said: "I will let the people of the Royal City Division start to do this."
Kou Zhun nodded when he heard the words, "That's good... The old official has a word that can be given to the official."
Zhao Zhen hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
"The harem must not be involved in politics!"
Kou Zhun said six words indifferently.
Zhao Zhen said in amazement: "The harem must not be involved in politics?!"
Zhao Zhen couldn't understand Kou Zhun's intention.
Kou Zhun faintly explained: "Since the official family wants to send a plaque to the school run by the old minister, it is better to make an extra one with the words'harem not allowed to do politics' on it and hang it on the hanging arch hall."
The expression on Zhao Zhen's face froze.
I have mixed feelings in my heart.
If Zhao Zhen really followed Kou Zhun's words, inscribed a plaque and hung it on the hanging arch.
It was tantamount to slap Liu E fiercely on the face.
The Manchu dynasty civil and military do not need to ask more, but also know for whom Zhao Zhen hung this plaque on the Suigong Hall.
Although this move can solve Liu E's return to the court, it will also offend Liu E to death.
Zhao Zhen said embarrassedly: "Master Tai... Is this a bit wrong?"
Kou Zhun said indifferently: "The old minister just gave the official a once-and-for-all suggestion, whether to take it or not. But the official promised the old minister's condition, but it must be fulfilled."
Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully.
Just when Zhao Zhen was worried about preventing Liu E from reaching into the court.
But Liu E paced back and forth excitedly in the palace.
"Zhao Yuanyan finally moved..."
Yan Shu said with a bright smile: "Congratulations, Niangniang Hexi, Niangniang can be here again today."
Xia Wei said with a calm expression: "Manny, it's not the time to be happy yet."
Liu E paused, staring at Xia Wei, frowning and saying, "What do you mean?"
Xia Yu said indifferently: "Suitable, someone told the officials that the officials had mobilized a group of imperial guards to protect the empress. Obviously, the news that Zhao Yuanyan is about to usurp the throne is still known to the officials."
Liu E narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Kou Ji told him?"
Xia Yu nodded, "The minister thinks so too."
Yan Shu faintly smiled and said, "Even if the officials know about it? Zhao Yuanyan is about to rise up, and Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others are not in Bianjing. It is impossible for the officials to come up with temporary countermeasures.
Things are still in our hands.
No one can stop the empress from coming back to the court. "
Liu E heard this and nodded in agreement.
Xia Yun shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. The official is not alone, he has Kou Zhun's grandparents behind him. Kou Zhun is good at judging, Kou Ji is good at making plans, and their grandparents and grandchildren will take action. The way to resolve Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion."
Liu E said solemnly: "Cao Wei, Gao Chugong and others were dispatched from Beijing to hold the Japanese and Tianwu armies. They have now been dispatched by us. Can Kou Zhun ancestors and grandchildren still be able to send troops out of thin air?"
Xia Wei stared at Liu E, and said solemnly: "Did the empress forget that the guard of the imperial city, Zhu Neng, still holds the second guard of the Dragon God in her hand."
Liu E frowned and said, "Zhu Neng can still leave the imperial city and lead his troops to quell the rebellion."
Xia Yu pondered: "It's hard to say... If the officials had listened to Kou Zhun's slander and asked Zhu Neng to dispatch some soldiers and horses to fight the rebellion, Zhao Yuanyan might not be able to stop it.
Zhu Neng is not famous, but his ability to lead soldiers is not weak.
If it weren't for his bad background, he might have become an important minister in the court.
If he led a part of the soldiers of the Dragon God and Second Guards out to counter the rebellion, with the benefit of the city wall, he might not be unable to resist Zhao Yuanyan's rebels. "
Liu E frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This is the end of the matter, and it will be too late to make arrangements..."
Xia Wei shook his head and said, "That's not..."
Liu E stared at Xia Wei and asked, "Do you have a way?"
Xia Wei stared at Liu E and said seriously: "The empress can send someone to wait at the gate of the outer city. As long as Zhao Yuanyan leads the soldiers outside Bianjing, they will be allowed to open the gate of the outer city of Bianjing and let them in.
In this way, Zhao Yuanyan could easily break through the outer city and go straight under the inner city wall.
At that time, Kou Zhun's grandparents even sent Zhu Neng to lead the people to put down the rebellion.
Niangniang could also appear in the court on the grounds that the situation was critical, and ordered the Pengri and Tianwu armies to send troops to counter the rebellion. "
Liu E heard this, his face changed, and decisively said: "No! The outer city wall is tall and thick, and there are many large ordnance on the wall, which is the best barrier to deplete Zhao Yuanyan's troops.
If this level of consumption is reduced, the probability of Zhao Yuanyan leading his army to break the inner city will be greatly increased.
The Ai family can't take the life of the official family, and Zhao's Jiangshan Sheji takes risks. "
Xia Wei said anxiously: "But if Niangniang doesn't do this, in case Zhu Neng leads the army to annihilate Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion under the outer city wall. How can you, Niangniang, turn the tide and appear in the court?"
Liu E pursed her mouth, frowned, and said nothing.
Xia Yu continued to exhort him: "Manny, we have planned for more than half a year for today. If it is because you hesitated for a while and lost the opportunity, then we would have done nothing for more than half a year.
Wang Qinruo, a master of the equipment supervisor, are hidden by Zhao Yuanyan.
If there is a change, they will quickly take action and kill Zhao Yuanyan.
With them, it is impossible for Zhao Yuanyan to break the inner city. "
Yan Shu listened for a long time and was gradually persuaded. He immediately said, "Niangniang, the minister feels that Xia Wei's words are reasonable. At the beginning, we set up many dark hands to prevent Zhao Yuanyan from attacking the inner city.
But if Zhao Yuanyan couldn't even break through the outer city, then the many dark hands we set up would be useless. "
Liu E struggled and said, "The Ai family is not willing to take risks with the Jiangshan Sheji of the official family."
Xia Wei drew closer to Liu E, and said in a deep voice, "But after losing today's good opportunity, the empress will never want to appear in the court again. Although Kou Zhun retired, the official family and Kou Ji still grew up.
If Niangniang lost this great opportunity, she would have to wait for her plan again.
But the longer you wait, the faster the Guanjia and Kou Ji will grow.
Once the officials were familiar with the government, Kou Ji went one step further.
Then the two of them would work together to turn Chaotang into an iron bucket.
At that time, Niangniang, even if you have three heads and six arms, it will be difficult for you to come back to the court. "
Yan Shu added from the side: "If you lose this opportunity, you may only stay in the deep palace for the rest of your life, madam. After the official election, your strong intervention has already created a barrier for you.
In order to return to the court, Zhao Yuanyan wanted to usurp the throne. You chose to conceal the official family and secretly planned.
Once the official finds out about this, the gap between you and the official will become even greater.
You are not the official mother after all.
If the official is grieving against you and wants to deal with you secretly, no one can stop it. "
In order to admonish Liu E, Xia Wei and Yan Shu said all that should be said and what should not be said.
Liu E's weakness in every sentence.
Whether it was losing the opportunity to return to the court, or being secluded in a deep palace, Liu E couldn't bear it.
Liu E gritted his teeth, looked at Xia Wei and Yan Shu, and said in a trembled voice: "The Aijia... The Aijia listens to you..."
Xia Wei clenched his fists fiercely.
"Leave the matter to the minister."
Xia Yu threw down these words, and before Liu E spoke again, he withdrew from Liu E's bedroom.
Liu E looked at Xia Wei's leaving figure and sighed.
"Hey… "
On the imperial city.
Zhu Neng sighed similarly, looked at Kou Ji who was waiting for his barbecue under the crenel, and said quietly: "Why do you come to the muddy water?"
In front of Zhu Neng, a small stove was set up, and the silver frost charcoal was burning in the stove, and Kou Ji could feel the heat from the burning of the silver frost charcoal three feet away.
Zhu Neng was holding two copper brazing rods about a foot and a half in his hand, and two lamb legs were tied to the brazing brace.
The leg of lamb has been roasted on the fire for a long time, its face is browned, and it emits a faint smell of meat.
Zhu Neng took the knife and slashed twice on the leg of the lamb, cutting open a series of openings, listening to the puff of mutton oil dripping on the silver frost charcoal.
Kou Ji stared at the leg of lamb greedily, shaking his nose, and questioning: "When will it be cooked?"
Zhu Neng applied oil to the leg of lamb while subconsciously replied: "It's still half an hour..."
After a pause, he raised his head and stared at Kou Ji in amazement, "You haven't answered my question yet? Don't you worry about Zhu Neng, afraid that Zhu Neng will not be able to defend the imperial city. All those who came here to supervise the battle?"
Kou Ji stared at the leg of the lamb and smiled indifferently: "How can I not believe in Uncle Zhu you. With you sitting in the imperial city, even if Zhao Yuanyan leads a million army to kill, it will not be your opponent."
Zhu Neng stared, and said with no air: "It's an exaggeration! If Zhao Yuanyan really leads a million army to the foot of the imperial city, I have no second way to go besides surrendering."
Kou Ji pointed to one of the leg of lamb, "Hurry up, or it will dry."
"Oh!"
After being reminded, Zhu Neng hurriedly looked at the leg of lamb and saw that the leg of lamb that had not been greased was a little dry after being roasted, so he hurriedly greased it.
After Zhu Neng smeared both lamb legs with oil, he was taken aback, staring at Kou Ji, and said angrily: "You kid told me for a long time, but you still didn't tell me that you are coming to the top of the city. What are you doing?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "Those who come to sleep, eat lamb by the way."
"Ok?"
Zhu Neng looked dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Kou Ji explained: "Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation of the throne is a major event. The official must send a cronies to watch and report to him at any time."
