Not long after the Ministry of Rites condemned Mu's mansion, officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs found Kou Ji's door.
The officials of the bureaucracy wanted Kou Ji to take action and beat the dog together.
Kou Jisi thought about it for a long time, and rejected the proposal of the official.
The Sixth Department is now a real power sect, and they attacked Mu House together, which is a bit too worthy of Mu House.
The shogunate was just a family of merchants, not a family of officials. Some people in the court were high-ranking officials.
Although Kou Ji did not agree to the proposal of the officials, but in order to prevent the officials from deviating from morality, he ordered the officials to visit the Mu Mansion and confiscated the qualifications of the royal merchants of the Mu Mansion.
After the official of the Ministry of staff left, Kou Ji sat on the seat in the side hall and muttered to herself, "How could Mu Chong do such a stupid thing at this moment?"
Mu Chong is not the kind of stupid and hopeless person. He often messes with some people in the officialdom. He still has the political sense that he should have.
He shouldn't come in contact with Xixia at the juncture where the Manchu civil and military were fighting for him.
Kou Ji looked puzzled.
In the evening.
The servant of Kou Mansion hurriedly appeared in the backyard of Kou Mansion and told Kou Ji, "Master, Master Liu Heng is here..."
"Liu Heng?"
Kou Ji was a little surprised, "Please come to the Pian Ting to speak."
The servants of the Kou Mansion came out of the side hall and led Liu Heng, who was full of wind and dust, into the side hall of the Kou Mansion.
When Liu Heng saw Kou Ji, his expression was very heavy and said, "Mu Chong is lost..."
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and continued: "Mu Chong's son Murong, also lost..."
The astonishment on Kou Ji's face was even more triumphant. He stared at Liu Heng and said in disbelief: "You are secretly, so many people are staring at the people in Mufu, how can you lose them
The Ministry of Penalty and the Ministry of War led three thousand soldiers and horses and surrounded Mu House.
The people in Mu Mansion still have the ability to compete with the three thousand elites of the Forbidden Army? "
Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "When the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of War led the troops to surround Mu House, Mu Chong and Murong were already lost."
Kou Ji's face sank, "You lost it?"
Liu Heng shook his head, "It is Wu Desi who is staring at the people in Mufu in the inner city of Bianjing, and Cao Tong and I are looking at the people from Yizijiaozipu and Mufu in Shuzhong."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "The people of Wu Desi lost Murong and his son... It's really..."
Kou Ji didn't know how to evaluate it.
Although Wu Desi was founded not long ago, the staff are all experts dispatched from the Imperial City Division.
With so many experts staring at Mu Mansion, they could still lose the two great men, Kou Ji didn't know how to evaluate it.
Kou Ji pondered for a while, staring at Liu Heng and said, "Is there something abnormal in the Meng Mansion?"
Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "After we discovered that Mu Chong and his son were missing, we immediately took people to Meng's Mansion. Meng Weizhong was not lost, but we saw an unexpected person in Meng's Mansion."
"Who?!"
Kou Ji asked.
Liu Heng said with a solemn expression: "Gao Chu Gong..."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Gao Chu Gong got a member of the Meng family's Yizijiaozipu?"
Liu Heng nodded solemnly and said, "We have controlled the people in the Meng Mansion, but the members of Jiao Zi Pu have fallen into the hands of Gong Li."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "If Xixia hadn't suddenly intervened to compete for the Yizijiaozipu elements, it would not have ended so quickly."
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and asked, "How do officials view these two things?"
Liu Heng shook his head and said bitterly: "I just came back from the middle of Shu, and before I had time to return to the palace, the official sent Chen Duzhi to pass the order to me and let me take someone to the Meng Mansion."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Have you checked the trail of Mu Chong and his son?"
Liu Heng nodded and said: "It has been checked, and there is no trace of their father and son leaving Bianjing."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and thought: "You mean, their father and son are still in Bianjing?"
Liu Heng nodded slowly and said: "There are some inferences, but it is not easy to confirm."
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng suspiciously, "What's the problem?"
Liu Heng sighed and said, "In some places, our people can't get in."
When Kou Ji heard this, his voice was slightly cold and said: "Xixia Post House?!"
Liu Heng nodded and said, "Mu Chong had been in contact with Xixia people before disappearing. We were at the four gates of Bianjing City, and we did not find any traces of Mu Chong and his son leaving. So it is very likely that Mu Chong and his son had been privately given by Xixia people. Hidden."
Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said, "How can you confirm that the father and son Mu Chong did not leave Bianjing? There are not only four roads to leave Bianjing. If there are only four, Xia Yu would not be on the night of the Eight Kings' rebellion. , Fled Bianjing City."
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said: "Because of the example of Xia Wei ahead, wherever people in Bianjing City can go out, there are spies from the Imperial City Department. Some people can't go out, but they can penetrate the small holes inside and outside the city wall. The trail was also blocked by us.
I took people to do this personally, and there will be no mistakes. "
After a pause, Liu Heng added, "During this process, we have also captured nearly a thousand kidnappers who abducted and sold babies in the waterway."
Kou Ji pondered and said, "I can trust you to do things. Now that you confirm that Mu Chong and his son have not left Bianjing, it is really possible that Na Mu Chong and his son are hiding in the Xixia Inn."
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said, "You send someone to stare at the Xixia Post House. I will enter the palace to see the official house."
Liu Heng nodded.
The two went out of the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
Mounted on the horse and entered the city.
After entering the city, Liu Heng went to the direction of the Imperial City Division, while Kou Ji rode his horse to the gate of the imperial palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he jumped off his horse, threw the horse's rein to the soldiers guarding by the Jinshui Bridge, flashed his waist card, and entered the palace.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the palace, he ran into Chen Lin who was about to summon him.
Chen Lin's face was very ugly. After seeing Kou Ji, she didn't say much. She opened her mouth and said, "Yong Guogong, the officials call you to meet at Shishitang."
Kou Ji nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "The officials are in a bad mood?"
Chen Lin looked bitter and did not speak.
Zhao Zhen made such a big mistake the first time he made a layout, or was he in a good mood with the mistake of the eagle dog under his hand
Chen Lin led Kou Ji to Shishitang silently all the way.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the Shishi Hall, he saw Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, and Lu Yijian sitting in the hall with ugly expressions, head down, and said nothing.
"Chen Kou Ji see official house..."
"Don't be polite..."
"I have seen Lu Xiang, I have seen Wang Xiang..."
"Don't be polite..."
Zhao Zhen saw Kou Ji, without the enthusiasm of the past, with a worried look on his face.
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng frowned, and they were equally worried.
Seeing this, Kou Ji groaned for a while, then smiled and said, "What's wrong with the three of you? It's like the Kunlun purple melon that Shuang beat?"
Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, did not say a word, but sighed heavily.
Lu Yijian glanced sideways at Kou Ji, but did not speak.
On the contrary, Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji, and said with a slight complaint: "When is the time, do you still want to laugh?"
"When?"
Kou Ji pretended to be surprised, "Xixia and the Liao State Allied Forces have come here?"
Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji helplessly.
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Qi Qi stared at Kou Ji.
Wang Zeng said in an angry voice: "If the allied forces of Xixia and Liao State come over, can we still sit still here?"
Kou Ji curiously said: "Since it is not the allied forces of Xixia and the Liao State, why are you so sad? The official is the number one person in the world, and you can be regarded as one person and one person above ten thousand.
In the Great Song Dynasty, what could stop the three of you? "
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said, "Do you know about Mu Mansion?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "I heard it slightly."
Wang Zeng stared and said, "Mu Chong and his son are missing. It is very likely that they are hiding in the Xixia Post House."
Kou Ji pretended to be stunned for a while, and then said very naturally: "Then what are you waiting for? Send someone to surround the Xixia Posthouse and search carefully."
Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng were taken aback for a moment, and then they frowned.
Lu Yijian said displeasedly: "If we forcefully encircle the Xixia Posthouse today, then the Xixia people will definitely resent us. We will inevitably fight against us in the future."
Kou Ji said amusedly: "If we don’t forcefully encircle Xixia Post House today, Xixia people will not do it right with us? As far as I know, I have been courteous to Xixia envoys for many years, but I am the envoy of Song Dynasty. When I arrived in Xixia, I didn't receive any kind of courtesy.
In addition, my Da Song has always treated Xi Xia's courtesy, but Xi Xia has never stopped fighting against my Da Song.
So whether Xixia is against my Da Song has nothing to do with politeness. "
Lu Yijian opened his mouth, and was stunned that Kou Jizhan couldn't say a word.
Kou Ji continued reluctantly: "My Da Song has treated Xixia courteously for many years, and I haven't changed back to Xixia's loyal following. In that case, why should we treat them courteously
Moreover, my Da Song is no longer what it used to be. I no longer need to bow to anyone, nor do I need to follow Xixia, who is weaker than us.
Today we sent troops to besiege the Xixia Post, what can Xixia do with me
If Xixia is not convinced, just fight with us.
Xixia today is rarely inferior to Qingtang.
Qingtang was respectful to me, and obeyed.
Why should Xixia challenge my Da Song? "
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng stared blankly.
They felt that Kou Ji's words were arrogant.
But it is very refreshing.
I have spent many years with the fan family in Song Li, and I haven't got the sincere trust of the fan family.
In the past, Song Da Song was unwilling to use swordsmen, so he made false claims with them.
Now that you can use the sword, why are you still polite to them
I am not a small character.
The only person in the world who can compete with me in the Song Dynasty is the Liao Kingdom.
Others, what qualifications do you have to challenge Da Song
Xixia likes to yell, but after being taught twice, do you think they still yell
Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng thought a lot in a flash.
Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng were a little moved.
But Lu Yijian frowned.
Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji, and said solemnly: "It is easy to besiege Xixia Post, but the members of Jiaozipu have already fallen into the hands of Xixia people. If we have a stalemate with Xixia, the members of Jiaozipu have fallen into the hands of Xixia. , But it’s not that easy to get it back."
"Hahaha..."
Kou Ji smiled, laughing loudly.
Lu Yijian stared and scolded: "What is it laughing?! What's so funny?"
Kou Ji laughed loudly and said: "Because Lu Xiang, you told a particularly nice joke. Xixia people don't follow the rules, so they can intervene in Da Song's affairs at will. Then why do we still keep the rules with Xixia people.
They took the members of Jiaozipu and gave it to them. "
Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, and Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji in a puzzled manner, and waited quietly for the following.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The imperial court admits that the members of the Yizijiaozipu are considered members. If the court does not recognize, the members of the Yizijiaozipu are a piece of waste paper.
So, what use is it for them to get the members of Yizijiaozipu
They cannot participate in the management of Yizijiaozipu, nor can they participate in the dividends of Yizijiaozipu.
Are the members in their hands still members? "
When the three Zhao Zhen heard the words, their expressions were different.
Wang Zeng's cheeks blushed slightly: "I am a big country, and if I do rogue behavior, I will be looked down upon."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Will we be looked down upon by people, in fists, not in etiquette. Etiquette is what we use to entertain friends. To deal with those wolves, we can only talk about fists.
Before we did not teach Xixia, what attitude did Xixia people have towards us
After we taught Xixia, what attitude did Xixia people have toward us? "
The three of Zhao Zhen were silent.
Kou Ji asked and replied: "Before we taught Xixia, Xixia didn't pay much attention to my Da Song, and only wanted to benefit from my Da Song. This is true not only for Xixia, but also for other family members.
After we taught Xi Xia, Xi Xia respected my Da Song a lot, and the gift of the New Year was five or six times richer than in previous years.
The other fanciers have also respected me a lot.
Such as Qingtang, Dali and so on.
New year gifts are richer than those offered in previous years. "
Kou Ji stared at the three of Zhao Zhen and continued: "The court has spoken about etiquette to those tribesmen for so many years. Since it's useless, let's just talk about fists."
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen and Wang Zeng fell into deep thought.
Lu Yijian frowned and said: "You should understand the truth about the death of the lips and the coldness of the teeth. If we besieged the Xixia post house with heavy troops, the other members of the family will probably panic as a result.
It's hard to say if I will come to Da Song next year. "
Lu Yijian paused deliberately, glanced at Zhao Zhen, and then said: "The official has already outlawed the rules of giving gifts to the subordinates in return, so this year's New Year gifts, I can make a lot of money."
Kou Ji was stunned when he heard this.
When
When did my important minister in the Song Dynasty begin to become profiteering
Actually coveted someone to give a gift? !
Actually regard people giving gifts to yourself as a way of earning money
Lu Yijian saw Kou Ji's face stunned, and roughly guessed that Kou Ji was slandering him, and his expression was a little unnatural.
Wang Zeng coughed dryly: "The court... poor!"
