North Song

Chapter 466: Fan Zhongyan's mission

Views:

Su Xun talked with Wen Yanbo all night like a chatter.

Until the next day.

Both of them stared at a pair of dark circles and appeared in front of them.

Kou Zhun let the students beat the students with the killing stick, which is more of a deterrent.

Didn't let people be cruel.

So thirty kills are awesome, but the students who hit their ass blossomed, but they didn't hurt their muscles and bones.

After applying the medicine, I can get out of bed and walk around the next day, but I cannot sit.

If it is a real 30-kill powerful rod, I am afraid that all the students who participated in the assessment yesterday will be killed.

All the celebrities and great Confucians who were present yesterday knew the tricks in the killing stick.

It's just a fright, there is no real execution.

For this reason, some students were scared and gave up the assessment on the spot.

Like this kind of courageous rats, embarrassing the task.

Their ugliness has been in the eyes of Zhao Zhen and the court officials. It may not be difficult to become an official in the future. Don't even think about it if you want to sit in a high position in the court.

The students rested in the Wenchang Academy for three days, after the scars on their buttocks were crusted.

Kou Zhun led the famous scholars in the Wenchang Academy to launch the second assessment.

Three more days passed.

The third assessment was carried out.

After the three assessments.

Only one hundred and three students successfully entered the Wenchang Academy and became students of the Wenchang Academy.

Those students who didn't pass the exam also benefited.

The famous scholars in the Wenchang Academy each acted and wrote recommendations for them, recommending them to study in the Imperial College, Taixue, and some well-known private schools.

Their future achievements may not be as good as those of the Wenchang Academy students, but compared to those students who were scared off during the assessment, they will be much better.

Since Su Xun got the second and third test questions from Wen Yanbo, he never said a complaint about Kou Ji again.

Instead, he sent a letter to his home, threatening to study hard in the Wenchang Academy, failing to read well, and never going down the mountain.

The "San Zi Jing" has a saying: Su Laoquan, twenty-seven, began to be angry...

In the future, someone will compile the "San Zi Jing" with the three words Su Laoquan, fearing that it will be difficult to be selected.

Because now, 14-year-old Su Xun, under the humiliation of Kou Ji, has decided to work hard.

As for what kind of results he will have in the future, it depends on him.

Kou Ji led him and helped him into the Wenchang Academy, but that was just a casual act, and he didn't deliberately recruit him.

Kou Ji stayed in the Wenchang Academy for a few more days. After helping Kou Zhun settle everything in the Wenchang Academy, he left the Wenchang Academy.

He did not return to the house, but entered the palace.

Yang Wenguang, the leader of the Second Route Soldiers and Horses sent by the imperial court to Shazhou, has returned to Bianjing from Baozhou.

The Baosei Army in Baozhou temporarily handed it over to the Diqing Temperance System who had returned to Baozhou.

Yang Wenguang needs to take the Shenwei army and go to the Western Regions to help Shazhou.

As the chief official of the staff department, Kou Ji had to make some cooperation.

When Kou Ji arrived at the staff, Fan Zhongyan was waiting for him.

Kou Ji asked Fan Zhongyan to sit down in the public house.

Fan Zhongyan said to Kou Ji: "Shangguan, this time you elected the next official to serve as the supervising army, and accompany Yang Wenguang to go to Shazhou to help. What's your order?"

Kou Ji was slightly surprised: "How do you know I have something to tell you?"

Fan Zhongyan smiled calmly and said: "After a long time with Shangguan, you naturally know that Shangguan you like to make decisions and then move. You must have a deep meaning to elect the next official to replace Liu Ping as the supervising army.

So the official came to see you, wanting to know what you have to order. "

Kou Ji smiled brightly and said: "Now when you go to Shazhou, you can just bring your eyes and ears. You'd better not interfere with military affairs."

Fan Zhongyan frowned slightly when he heard the words.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "I know that you have served in the army for many years and understand the army. If you don't interfere in military affairs, you will definitely feel unhappy in your heart. However, the battle to aid Shazhou this time is similar to what I experienced before the Song Dynasty. All wars in China are different.

Once my Great Song soldiers entered Shazhou, looking around, they could all be enemies.

Don't take a step carelessly, let alone make any mistakes.

If there is a slight mistake, it is likely to be attacked by groups. "

Fan Zhongyan groaned: "Shangguan can trust Yang Wenguang in this way."

Kou Ji smiled and nodded and said: "Yang Wenguang likes to make decisions, he doesn't like to attack rashly, and he doesn't like to use the sword to stray forward. He likes to win with stability when fighting.

Nowadays, many forces in the Western Regions are staring at the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty who are helping Shazhou. After the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty arrive in Shazhou, they need to be steady.

Yang Wenguang is most suitable for this kind of battlefield.

If you intervene in his military affairs, you will inevitably interfere with his judgment and his strategy.

So you try not to interfere with his military affairs as much as possible. "

After hearing Kou Ji's words, Fan Zhongyan nodded slowly.

But he was still unwilling.

Said with a wry smile.

"Then why did the official here go to the Western Regions?"

Implications.

After he arrived in the Western Regions, he could only listen and see, he was just a wooden person, so it would be better not to go.

Kou Ji put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "You go to the Western Regions, naturally there is another important task. If there is no important task, why should I name you to let you go."

The smile on Fan Zhongyan's face was a little stiff, "The lower official heard others say that it was because you didn't like Liu Ping that you elected the lower official to serve as the supervising army."

Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said quietly: "If I discuss secretly with the officials, I can actually spread it out."

Fan Zhongyan heard this and quickly explained: "I heard that the official rejected Lu Yijian's proposal to elect Liu Ping as the supervising army. Lu Yijian asked the official to ask about the reason, and the official told Lu Yijian."

Kou Ji frowned when he heard Zhao Zhen's leak, and said to Fan Zhongyan: "I really don't like Liu Ping, because Liu Ping seems to be a powerful person, but he is actually embarrassed.

But I don't have to recommend you to serve as the supervising army.

There are countless officials in the court.

There were as many eunuchs in the harem.

There are countless people who can serve as a supervising army.

The reason why I insist on recommending you is because there is indeed an important task entrusted to you. "

After hearing Kou Ji's explanation, Fan Zhongyan hurriedly said: "Please also ask Shangguan to give instructions."

Kou Ji frowned and said: "When Zhu Neng and Xue Gong left the court before, I asked them to investigate the various forces in the Western Regions after they arrived in the Western Regions, write them into documents, and send them back to the court to let the court know more about the Western Regions.

But after they arrived in the Western Regions, they blindly focused on the war, and did not put much effort in this area.

So I want you to go to the Western Regions to help me investigate the many forces in the Western Regions. "

Fan Zhongyan was taken aback when he heard the words, lowered his voice and said, "Does the officials have the intention of plotting the Western Regions?"

Da Song hasn't set foot in the Western Regions for a long time. Now that he suddenly wants to understand the Western Regions, it is hard not to make people doubt it.

Kou Ji glanced at Fan Zhongyan and said faintly: "The official's plan is not to plot the Western Regions. That is the matter of the official's. But the Western Regions are my neighbors of the Song Dynasty, and it is necessary for the Song Dynasty to understand the Western Regions clearly.

A Qingtang quietly rises next to Da Song.

Before that, I, Da Song, didn't know the reality of Qingtang.

I don't even know how big the area of Qingtang is.

Only know that Qingtang is part of the Western Tubo.

But I don't know that Qingtang has become a hegemon in the Western Regions.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who control strings, enough to teach Xixia.

Fortunately, Qingtang did not plot against me.

If Qingtang has a plot against my Da Song, join forces with Xixia to attack my Da Song.

How about the land in the northwest of the Song Dynasty? "

Fan Zhongyan nodded solemnly.

He agreed with Koj's statement.

Today, Qingtang has emerged in the Western Regions. In the Great Song Dynasty, there are still people who believe that Qingtang is far from the Western Regions and the territory is nothing more than a palm. It is not to be feared.

This shows how terrible ignorance is.

Kou Ji slightly clenched his fist, and said in a deep voice: "There is already a Qingtang, quietly rising in the Western Regions. I don't want to see the second Qingtang appear. Once the second Qingtang appears, they will definitely decide on the one of the Western Regions. the Lord.

Once the Lord of the Western Regions is produced, it will inevitably invade our Great Song Dynasty. "

Fan Zhongyan got up and dignifiedly said to Kou Ji: "The lower official knows the seriousness of this matter. After he arrives in the Western Regions, he will definitely investigate the situation of all the forces in the Western Regions in detail, and will organize them into a book, and send them as soon as possible. Back to the court.

The lower official... Surely he won't live up to the trust of the upper official. "

Kou Ji got up and replied politely: "Whether my great Song Xifeng can remain peaceful forever depends on what you get from this trip."

Fan Zhongyan once again arched his hands and said: "We will not humiliate our mission!"

Kou Ji nodded, "You are going to the Western Regions tomorrow, and quickly go back to prepare things. I also helped you prepare some emergency supplies in the Western Regions, and I will send someone to your house later."

"Thank you Shangguan!"

After Fan Zhongyan left, Kou Ji sat in the seat and let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, Kou Ji didn't care if Fan Zhongyan went to the Western Regions to complete his mission.

He just needs Fan Zhongyan to go to the Western Regions.

Fan Zhongyan needs to learn about the many forces in the Western Regions.

As for the distribution of many forces in the Western Regions, and the strengths of many forces in the Western Regions.

Kou Ji had long received news from Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan has been in the Western Regions for a long time, and Zhang Yuan has already grasped the reality of many forces in the Western Regions.

Zhang Yuan is a powerful horse bandit in the Western Regions.

In and out of the camps of the major forces in the Western Regions.

Zhang Yuan can understand everything that the court sent people to understand, and Zhang Yuan can also understand things that the court sent people to understand in the past.

now.

The news of many forces in the Western Regions in Kou Ji's hands is already available.

But it can't be made public.

Because after he made the news in his hands public, Zhang Yuan's identity in the Western Regions would be exposed.

Some courtiers in the court hall who had connections with envoys of various forces in the Western Regions were likely to reveal Zhang Yuan's identity.

Once many forces in the Western Regions knew Zhang Yuan's identity, Zhang Yuan would have no way to survive in the Western Regions.

How good he is now in the Western Regions, how miserable he will become after his identity is exposed.

In addition.

Kou Ji did not intend to expose Zhang Yuan's activities in the Western Regions.

For example, the horse bandit with tens of thousands of people in Zhang Yuan's hands.

The horse bandit is far stronger than the regular army of many forces in the Western Regions.

Loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

The horse bandits inside are just like regular troops.

If their identities are exposed and they have a relationship with Kou Ji, Kou Ji will not be able to escape with the hat of a private soldier.

At that time.

Even if Zhao Zhen loved Kou Ji again, he had to oust all Kou Ji's officials and let Kou Ji return to his hometown for retirement.

Although Kou Ji secretly raised soldiers and horses privately, none of them were truly powerful and could be used as soldiers and horses.

The guards of the horse guards in Baozhou have always been a group of old pawns in front of people, dressed in common clothes, carrying knives and swinging on the racecourse, without armor.

Can only be regarded as a guard.

The other guards were dispatched by Kou Ji after they were trained.

Either I went to the Western Regions or Leizhou.

Those who have gone to the Western Regions are all turned into horse thieves and are in the Western Regions. As long as Kou Ji does not identify their identities, no one can say that they are privately raised soldiers and horses.

Those patrolling guards who went to Leizhou were even less connected to Kou Ji.

As early as when Kou Ji dispatched guards to sweep the entire territory of Leizhou, they set sail and occupied a large island.

Even though they were in Song soil, they all regarded themselves as overseas islanders.

If the court wanted to track them down, they could escape into the sea overnight without a trace.

Although Kou Ji raised his soldiers and horses privately, he did not leave any heads and tails to the court.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to expose himself to the beginning and end and let people catch it.

Therefore, if Kou Ji intends to share the news of many forces in the Western Regions with the court, he must find a reasonable excuse.

Fan Zhongyan was the one who helped Kou Ji make excuses.

After Fan Zhongyan left, Kou Ji sat in the Yamen for a while, then went to Shishitang and found Zhao Zhen.

To know oneself and the enemy, the rhetoric of a hundred battles.

To make sense, Zhao Zhen seconded seven or eight officials proficient in various languages of the Western Regions from Honghu Temple, and asked them to go to the Western Regions with Fan Zhongyan.

After everything is done properly.

Kou Ji returned to the bureaucratic yamen.

When Zhu Nengbing left the Western Regions before, what the officials had to do before, now Kou Ji has to do it again.

Only after Yang Wenguang led the soldiers and horses out of the territory of the Song Dynasty can they stop.

On the day when Yang Wenguang led the troops on the expedition, Kou Ji sent off Yang Wenguang and Fan Zhongyan for a journey, and then returned to the bureaucratic office and sat there for fifteen days.

After dealing with the troubles that Yang Wenguang encountered during the march that needed to be dealt with by the officials, he stopped.

Kou Ji only returned to the house, and spent two days with Xiang Yan, who was just showing her love.

Appeared in the palace again.

This time he entered the palace, it was not that Kou Ji took the initiative to enter the palace.

Instead, Zhao Zhen sent people to summon the Manchu civil and military, and Kou Ji was among them.

Kou Ji wore an official uniform and entered the palace. After reaching the Chuigong Hall all the way, he saw that the Manchu dynasty had reached most of the civil and military affairs.

Before Kou Ji got to the train, he found Zhang Zhibai, who was frowning, and found out.

The reason for the gathering of civil and military forces between Manchu and dynasty was because of Li Di's memorabilia.

"Li Di played to invite officials to dismiss the virtual titles on the heads of the Manchu civil and military officials, and save the salaries they saved to use as the national treasury. In addition, he also invited the officials to revise national laws...

Zhang Zhibai finished speaking to Kou Ji with a sad face.

Obviously.

He is not very optimistic about Li Di.
