"Although Zhang Zhibai begs his bones, he has been allowed to play and left the court. However, his reputation among the people will continue to increase. When he returns to the court, he will participate in the political affairs of the governor.
But Gao Chu Gong fell down, don't even think about standing up for the rest of his life. "
Kou Zhun said very positively.
As a member of the civil servants, Kou Ji naturally understood that Kou Zhun was right.
The more famous Zhang Zhibai is, the more likely he will be to recover. In addition, he has a good relationship with Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian, which left a good impression on Zhao Zhen. It will be a matter of time before he recovers.
But Gao Chu Gong is different. Let's not say that he has been wicked up and down. Just because of his advanced age, it will be difficult for him to get up again.
He can no longer go to battle, and it is impossible to recover from military exploits.
Although the girl sent into the palace by the Gao family had a status in the palace, Zhao Zhen seldom spoiled her, and now the high place respectfully hated Zhao Zhen again, it is even more impossible for Zhao Zhen to spoil the girl from the Gao family.
It is impossible for Gao Chugong to use his granddaughter to recover.
The official career of the Gao family within two generations has been restricted by Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's joint efforts. Zhao Zhen also acquiesced in this matter.
It is impossible to recover from the merits of his children and grandchildren.
It can be said that Gao Chu Gong has been completely cool.
Although Zhang Zhibai retired, he became more valuable.
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji with a smile: "You are far younger than Gao Chu Gong and Zhang Zhibai, and you are bigger than the two of them, so your career has not ended, it is very likely that it has just begun."
Kou Zhunsheng was afraid that Kou Ji would be sad because of the dismissal and resignation, so he enlightened Kou Ji.
Kou Ji understood Kou Zhun's thoughts and said with a smile: "I am also hot-headed for a while, but I can think well. Grandfather doesn't have to worry about me."
Hearing this, Kou Zhun laughed and said: "I want the old man to say that your head is hot this time, and the hotness is just right. Dismissal from office is a bad thing for others, but it is a great thing for you.
If you have exhausted all the officials, the power is high, and the possibility of being unqualified is reduced to a minimum.
When you enter the dynasty again in the future, you can do your best. "
Speaking of this, Kou Zhun said with a little regret: "The old man returned with the first emperor's northern expedition. If he can learn from you, his head will be hot, and he will not be harmed by an adulterous man."
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and laughed again, "Actually, the old man should thank those wicked men. If it were not for them, the old man would not leave the court. If the old man did not leave the court, he would not be discouraged and moved. Thoughts of the child.
If you don't have the idea of reaping a child, you won't meet your good grandson, and you won't be able to achieve what you are today. "
After listening to Kou Zhun's words, Kou Ji was slightly taken aback.
His head heated up, not for the purpose of hiding one's power and biding time, nor was it for avoiding the disaster of being overwhelmed by his merits and being impenetrable.
He simply felt that if a famous general like Cao Wei could not be on the battlefield with the most magnificent posture, but instead was critically ill on the bed, it would be Cao Wei's lifelong regret, and also the regret of the Song Dynasty. regret.
Therefore, when he heard Cao Wei's narrative that his body was not as strong as before, he rushed to the head with enthusiasm and chose to follow Gao Chugong and Wei Wangfu.
However, Kou Ji did not explain to Kou Zhun much, but just followed Kou Zhun's thoughts and catered to Kou Zhun's ideas.
The grandfather and grandson chatted freely.
The waves in Bianjing city were raging, but even more violent.
Cao Wei rioted at the entrance of the Liao State Post House and lit a fire, before the fire spread to the entire city of Bianjing.
Another fire arose in the Wei Palace.
Chen Lin and Li Zhaoliang led people to search for a long time in the other courtyard of the Wei Dynasty.
In the end, a huge secret room was found. The secret room was filled with tattered armor, more than 10,000 pieces.
Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian personally rushed to the other courtyard of the Wei palace, checked the armor, and immediately sent people to capture all of the Wei palace.
They not only sent people to capture the Wei Wangfu line in Bianjing, but also people from the Wei Wangfu line in Fangling.
More than 10,000 pieces of ragged armor were refurbished after being moved out of the courtyard of the Imperial Palace of the Wei Dynasty.
Chen Lin and Li Zhaoliang, wearing more than 10,000 pieces of armor, swaggered across the city, and were seen by all the people in Bianjing.
The news of Wei Wangfu's intent to rebel spread all over Bianjing in an instant.
When the Wei family line was arrested, the people scrambled to watch and applauded.
You know, when the Eight Kings rebelled and the King of Chu burned the palace, the imperial court sent people to check the residences of the two of them, and the people did not applaud.
Although the Eight Kings are unbearable, he has painstakingly managed his reputation for decades, so he has a good reputation among the people.
The King of Chu did not often appear in front of people, and the people in the Chu Palace were very low-key under his restraint. Therefore, the people in the Chu Palace did not do much harm to the country and the people, so the King of Chu's reputation among the people also made a living.
The Wei Kingdom’s line was confiscated and the people clapped and applauded. It can be seen that after the Wei Kingdom’s line entered Bianjing, it did so many days of anger and resentment in just a few months.
Therefore, the line of Wei Wangfu was censored, which conformed to public opinion.
No one went to study the real source of the armors in the Wei Wangfu's other courtyard, and no one went to study why those armors were suddenly refurbished.
Even if some good people want to go to the bottom of the question, there is no chance.
Because the people of the Wei Wangfu line in Bianjing city had not been arrested, news came out one after another that Gao Zhigong was dismissed from office, Zhang Zhibai was dismissed from office, and Kou Ji was dismissed from office.
Three important ministers in control of real power, one of whom was still a popular figure, was deposed together and completely moved the city of Bianjing.
The people inside and outside the city of Bianjing were completely shocked.
They rushed to find out the inside story of the dismissal of the three powerful officials, how could they bother to manage the life and death of the Wei Palace.
Compared with the line of the Wei Dynasty that descended from the sky, the people paid more attention to the three powerful officials who were close to them.
What happened in Shishitang was inevitably spread out.
The rumors are very true, and they have almost restored what happened in Shishitang.
Ever since.
The reputation of the Gao family and Wei Wangfu has become inaudible.
The reputation of Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai has risen in a straight line.
The people bluntly said that the two are good officials who do not fear power and serve the people.
For the people, gambling on official careers can be said to be a rare good official in a century.
Some of the tough-tempered people felt that the court was unfair, and even risked their deaths to rush to the gate of the palace, preparing to beat the drum and help Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai be wronged.
Just three days.
Bang Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai, two people named Qu, arrested a hundred people.
Some people may find it incredible.
But in the Song Dynasty, this was really commonplace.
Successive officials in the Song Dynasty were very generous to the people.
If I wanted to expand the palace, I was afraid of damaging the houses of the people and causing public grievances, so I gave up decisively.
The summer is hot, and people are afraid of heatstroke. Not only do they make decoction, but occasionally ice cubes.
It was cold in winter, so I was afraid that the people would be frozen, so I gave them charcoal salaries.
Afraid of killing people without authorization, every death row prisoner has to go through several inspections. After confirming that there is no omission, he will be attacked and killed.
When there is an opportunity to amnesty the world, the sentence will be postponed.
The people in Bianjing are afraid of many officials and rich people, but they are not afraid of the royal family.
…
Kou Ji sat in front of the brazier, staring at Kou Tianci who was sitting next to the desk, and said very seriously: "Call Daddy..."
Kou Tianci is one year old and can already make a single tone vaguely.
Under Xiang Yan's teaching, Kou Tianci was able to vaguely call out words such as'Ye' and'Niang'.
Kou Zhun is a native of Huazhou. In Huazhou, the single word'ye' means grandfather.
After Kou Zhun heard that Kou Tianci would yell'Lord', he was so excited that he didn't care about messing up his seniority. He pulled Kou Tianci and let Kou Tianci shout for a long time.
It wasn't until Kou Tianci cried that he cocked his beard and left the courtyard of Kou Mansion triumphantly.
When I left, I still complained that I had already played the autumn wind in the royal family once, and it was not easy to fight, otherwise I must take Kou Tianci into the palace to play the autumn wind and ask for some rewards.
The mansion can be regarded as one of Kou Tianci's elders, and Kou Tianci can shout.
The only thing that doesn't call'Father'.
Kou Ji looked at the complacent Kou Zhun and Xiang Yan, jealous.
He decisively snatched the ownership of Kou Tianci from Xiang Yan, pulled Kou Tianci, and had to teach Kou Tianci how to call his father.
However, Kou Tianci is probably at odds with him.
He taught for a day, but nothing happened.
It even took advantage of him once.
"Call Dad..."
"..."
"Follow me, dad..."
"..."
"Father..."
"Hey~"
Kou Ji stared in astonishment.
Liu Heng, who had just entered the door, also stared in surprise.
Kou Tianci was the only one, looking blankly around, not knowing that he had just done something that would be struck by lightning.
After Liu Heng was slightly shocked, he said in disbelief, "Isn't the fourth brother mad?"
Kou Ji's face turned black.
Liu Heng muttered in a low voice, "I called my son Dad, and the son agreed. This is the first time I have seen you..."
Kou Ji's face was darker, and he said with a heavy tone: "I'm just teaching my son to call father."
Liu Heng was taken aback for a moment, just about to speak.
Just listen to Kou Ji resolutely said: "If you don't arrest those officials who are connected with the Wei Palace, what will you do in my Kou Palace?"
Kou Jisheng was afraid that Liu Heng would say anything to embarrass him, so he changed the subject decisively.
When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words, his face was a little bitter, and he said, "Could you send someone to follow me."
Kou Ji raised his brow suspiciously.
Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "There are already more than a hundred people asking for your life for you and Gong Zhang. They are now in jail and refuse to go, eat or drink, and if they continue to consume it, they might kill them."
Kou Ji looked surprised and said: "Please ask me for my orders?"
Liu Heng nodded and said, "If you don't go out of the palace, naturally you don't know how many righteous people are willing to sacrifice your lives for the two of you after the words and deeds of you and Zhang Gong in Shishitang."
Kou Ji was even more surprised, "My reputation is so big that someone is willing to die for me?"
Liu Heng curled his lips and said nothing.
Kou Ji questioned: "You arrested the man?"
Liu Heng nodded with a bitter face, "The Ministry of Justice is afraid of swearing, and the Kaifeng Mansion is the same, and the people in the inspection department are even more deaf and dumb. It can only be caught by our imperial department. Anyway, our imperial department is doing it. What people hate."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Since they are not guilty, teach them a bit and let them go."
"The problem is that they stay in the cell of my Imperial City Division and refuse to go, eat or drink. I can never kill them all like I treat other people, right?"
Liu Heng's expression was even more bitter, "If I really cut them all down, there will be public grievances in Bianjing, and the officials will inevitably use me to quell the anger of the people."
Kou Ji thought about it, and said in deep thought: "I will let the housekeeper accompany you for a while, and bring some food to treat them."
Liu Heng nodded decisively.
Kou Ji ordered the servant to send a message to the kitchen and prepare the kitchen for food.
After the servant goes down.
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't understand one thing, can fourth brother help me out?"
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Heng asked: "How did the armors of the Wei family's line come out? This matter has become a hot topic in the court, but no one has given a clear answer yet.
It seems that no one knows this except for the fourth brother. "
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and did not answer Liu Heng's question, but instead asked, "How did the court talk?"
Liu Heng said frankly: "Some people say that those armors were in that other courtyard a long time ago, others say that you planted them, and others said that they were brought in by Chen Lin and Li Zhaoliang during the search...
Some people even said that it was the armor that the family of the Wei Dynasty had prepared for rebellion.
There are only four claims at present, but the last one is not believed by many people. "
Kou Ji nodded slowly, glancing at Liu Heng and said, "You want to know?"
Liu Heng nodded.
Kou Ji continued: "So far, only four people know about this. Are you sure you want to know?"
Liu Heng was taken aback when he heard the words, and shook his head decisively.
Kou Ji mentioned four people, so Liu Heng can roughly infer one or two of who they are.
The first to bear the brunt is Chen Lin.
Someone in the city of Bianjing hid more than 10,000 armors. It is impossible for Chen Lin's people to not know.
Few people can compare to Chen Lin in terms of being well informed.
Since Chen Lin knows, then Zhao Zhen, as his master, must also know.
Kou Ji obviously knew.
The identity of the remaining person must be very important.
The secret that only four people knew was the real secret in the Song Dynasty.
Since it was a real secret, Liu Heng felt that he still didn't know it.
Liu Heng was no longer curious, so he didn't ask about it again.
He chatted with Kou Ji for a while, and after the cook in the Kou Mansion’s other yard prepared the food, Liu Heng took the Kou Mansion’s steward and took the food and left the Kou Mansion.
After Liu Heng left.
Kou Ji took off a piece of jade pendant from Kou Tianci's neck, played with it, and muttered: "It's just the remnant armor of a group of lonely souls and wild ghosts. The officials can really guess, they are so idle..."
Those armors in the other courtyard of the Wei Palace originated from the jade pendant on Kou Tianci's neck.
The jade pendant given by Zhao Zhen.
