Kou Ji sat in the private room and tasted Fanlou's stir-fried dishes. Although the taste of Fanlou's stir-fries was not bad, it was still a bit worse than Kou's stir-fries.
Kou Ji reluctantly ate a bit.
Kou Ji sat in the private room for a short time, and looked like an old farmer on the heights. He stabbed his hands into his cuffs and bent over into the private room.
Kou Ji glanced up and down Gao Chu Gong, and found that Gao Chu Gong did not have the usual noble and arrogance, but only a breath of twilight that had passed away.
Gao Chu Gong didn't wait for Kou Ji's invitation, so he sat down opposite Kou Ji and took the chopsticks on the table. He didn't dislike the leftovers that Kou Ji had eaten, and ate them with chopsticks.
Kou Ji looked at Gao Gonggong gobbled up and sighed slightly. He lifted the hip flask, poured a glass of wine for Gao Gong, and said, "Why are you doing this again?"
Gao Zhuo respectfully said vaguely without raising his head: "The Gao family is not what it used to be. Fanlou is no longer a place where people from my Gao family can get involved. If someone asks me to eat and drink at the Fanlou, I naturally eat more."
Kou Ji put down the hip flask and sat upright and said: "The skinny camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention the Gao family is not thin. The two lords of the official and the inner court, although you have deposed your official, but Did not confiscate the Gao family's money.
The Gao family has operated in and out of Bianjing for decades, and the accumulated wealth is beyond comparison with Fanlou.
If you are willing, you can build a few larger and taller restaurants around Fanlou. "
"Bang Dang..."
Gao Chu Gong threw down his chopsticks, looked up at Kou Ji, and said faintly: "How many restaurants are higher than Fan Tower? No matter how tall they are, it will be higher than the palace. My Gao family can't stand the official family and the inner court. The two black-hearted thieves of the two are tossing again."
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "Are you not complaining?"
Gao Chu Gong said neither salty nor indifferent: "What is there to complain about? It's just that I don't have a wink at Gao Gong, and I can't blame others. If I wink a little, I shouldn't get tainted with the members of Yizijiaozipu.
Learn how good your Kou’s and Cao’s are.
The three families of Mu, Qian, and Meng have fallen, and it seems that the official family has benefited the most.
But in fact, your Kou’s and Cao’s also ate a lot of fat.
The Cao family ate the fields and real estate of Mu, Qian, and Meng in the city of Bianjing, as well as the members of the steel forging workshop.
Your Kou family ate the cloth business of Mu, Qian, and Meng, and ate the countless embroidered buildings and mulberry fields left by the three of them.
Your Kou family and Cao family have earned tens of millions of money during this change.
If I had seen the situation as early as possible and learned what you did, I would not end up where I am today. "
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Finally, do you want to understand?"
Gao Chuo pouted his lips, "I want to understand what's the use, can my Gao family go back to the past?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "That may be true."
Gao Fang gave a haha and said faintly: "It's better not to go back. After this battle, I can see it clearly. No matter how high the power and the money, I can't stand a word from some people.
What you have accumulated hard for three or four generations can be taken away by others with a word.
Why do you still accumulate things
The Gao family is pretty good now, rich and powerful.
But there is not enough money and power.
It will not be missed.
As long as you don't mess around, it's easy to stay rich and wealthy in peace. "
Kou Ji stared at Gao Chugong, and said quietly: "You have already guessed what I came from, so speak in advance and block what I want to say back into my belly?"
Hearing the words from the high place, finally there was a slightly different emotion on his face.
A sardonic smile appeared on his face, and said, "My Gao family has lost power. The celebrity around you, the official family, has approached my Gao family. Isn't it obvious what is going on?"
Kou Ji nodded and asked, "So... you plan to refuse?"
The high place gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "You are powerful enough to deal with the people who oppose you in the court. Now there is no one available, and I think of those of us who were dealt with out of the court by you. .
But why should we use it for you
Use it if you want, or throw it away.
What are we, chamber pot? "
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "It seems that you still have some resentment in your heart?"
Gao Chu Gong didn't pretend, he gritted his teeth and said: "The members of Jiaozipu, the great wealth, you say take it away. The officials in my body, you just let it go.
But have you ever thought that neither the members of Yizijiaozipu nor the officials in my body are from my Gao family for nothing.
For the members of Yizijiaozipu, the people of my Gao family in court have lost nearly 60%.
For the officials and nobles in my body, three generations of my Gao family have died nearly sixteen erlangs.
Two of them were my sons, and I personally sent them to the battlefield, and personally greeted their corpses. "
Kou Ji frowned slightly.
Gao Chugang stared at Kou Ji and yelled: "I tell you this, not to pretend to be pitiful. But to tell you that every piece of my Gao family contains the flesh and blood of my Gao Jiaerlang. .
The things that my Gao Jiaerlang brought back with blood and blood, why don't you take them all without paying any price. "
Kou Ji's brows were frowned into the word "Chuan". He stared at a high place and said solemnly: "There is a country, and there is a home. In your eyes, there is only a home but no country. What about Wanguan
You are also a person who has seen troubled times with your own eyes. You should understand that if there is no stable country, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how rich you are, you will only be duckweed on the water.
One day, the family will be destroyed.
When Cao Shuai destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, you also served as a herald in front of his account.
You should see clearly what happened to the civil and military ministers and wealthy merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty after Jinling was breached. "
Gao Gong's face was gloomy, and his face was very ugly.
Kou Ji continued: "At the moment, I have no internal enemies, but there are external problems. And it is still a very powerful external problem. If the external problems are not eliminated, why do you enjoy wealth? You don't want to help my Da Song eliminate the external problems, and just want to get down. Drinking blood on my Da Song, you still have reason
If one day, Da Song was emptied of blood by you people, when the enemy's iron hoof went south, what would you fight against
The blood you drank from Da Song didn't end up as the enemy's food? "
The high place gritted his teeth and said: "If there is such a day, my Gao family will naturally lead troops out to defeat foreign enemies."
Kou Ji sneered: "It's interesting to deceive yourself and others? Since the death of Gao Shuai, who of your Gao family can command the three armies? Although the court has asked you to command the three armies several times, you have a few kilograms and two, you know very well in your heart.
According to your talents, leading an army, you have already survived.
In the past, when the Taizu established the country, there were countless generals under the account. Just picking a person out can carry a big banner.
But after their death, what about you as younger generations
Dozens of companies and hundreds of people were nothing more than one Li Batu and one Cao Baochen.
Others, either bullying men and women all day long, or trying their best to make money.
It is better to expect the knees of the civil servants to bend a little faster if you are to resist strong enemies.
The enemy might look at us for obedience and let us live a few more years. "
Kou Ji's words made Gao Chu Gong feel the great humiliation. Gao Chu Gong roared with almost no hesitation: "It is the court who guards our warriors. It is the court who does not use us."
Kou Ji sneered: "The imperial court is guarding against martial artists, it is guarding against martial arts chaos, not preventing you from making contributions. If the imperial court does not give you any chance, how did Li Jilong and Cao Wei get up
The Zhe family died in battle for generations. Doesn't it exist
In the final analysis, it is your incompetence, not that the court does not use you.
It should be noted that the military and horse chiefs everywhere are from your homes. "
Upon hearing this, Gao Fang couldn't say a word to refute.
Kou Ji hummed coldly and continued: "You are no longer the pillars of the country that the court can trust. You have become a cancer of the court, and you only know the cancer of drinking blood from the court.
Not only does your existence do no good to the court, but it is a great disaster to the court.
If the court does not know you, sooner or later you will corrode the court's soldiers and horses, and sooner or later you will drink up the court's blood.
Since you are useless to the court, why does the court support you
Are you raising you to harm the country? "
The whole body shivered respectfully, "The Emperor Taizu promised us... that we should rest with the country..."
Kou Ji sneered and said: "So you just want to do harm to the country, are you ready to destroy it with Song?"
Gao Chu Gong stared at Kou Ji angrily.
Kou Ji said with a grim expression: "The court started to clean up you. That is what you deserve, and you are insatiable. The court uses you, and that is to give you a chance.
Don't be shameless, you always feel that the court owes you.
Jiangshan is true that your ancestors helped Zhao down together.
It is not only Zhao who can enjoy the blessings, but also you.
It is not only the responsibility of the Zhao family to maintain the stability of the country’s community and work for the good of the country, but also your responsibility.
I just want to enjoy the good, I don't want to act.
How can there be such a good thing
The Zhao imperial family can't hide in the palace to enjoy wealth, why do you want to hide in Bianjing city to enjoy wealth? "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji did not care about the respectful face, and yelled: "Retire with the country? You are worthy! What you eat, drink and play is the people's anointing. Have you asked the people of the world? I don't want you to rest with the country."
"enough!"
Gao Qi Gong was so angry that she slapped the table and shouted.
Kou Ji sneered and said, "Why... This is annoying? I haven't said anything more ugly."
Gao Chu Gong was trembling all over, trying to pull away.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Kou Ji took out Zhao Zhen's handwritten letter from his sleeve, still in front of Gao Gong, coldly said: "The official is kind, willing to give you a chance to atone, and also gave you generous terms. , You can grasp it yourself."
Gao Gong Gong gave Kou Ji a fierce look, quickly picked up the manuscript from the table, read the ten lines at a glance, then lowered his hand, staring at Kou Ji, and said disdainfully: "I have said so much, I still don't want to Use me? If you want to use me, then return my Gao family's things."
Kou Ji was taken aback, staring at Gao Gonggong for a long time, then walked to Gao Gonggong's side, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Zhen's handout from Gao Gonggong's hand.
"Gao Chu Gong, you really do not live or die."
Kou Ji received the handwritten letter and stared at the high place respectfully and said: "I knew you were so reckless, I should stop the official from giving you a chance."
Gao Chugong snorted coldly, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and said nothing.
Kou Ji questioned: "Before sending troops to the Western Regions, if the court wanted to use you, you had to coerce the court. The court had no choice but to send me and Li Zhaoliang to lead the army.
Now that the court wants to use you again, you still threaten the court.
Do you really have to be a court
Or in other words, do you think the court is really such a threat
You threatened the court again and again, who can tolerate you
Throughout the dynasties, who has threatened the king, who has a good end
It is true that the Gao family has contributed to the Da Song, but it does not mean that everyone in the Da Song has to do things in accordance with the Gao family's mind.
After all, your last name is Gao, not Zhao. "
After Kou Ji said this, he stopped paying attention to Gao Gong, and walked out with his hands on his back.
When he walked to the door of Yajian, Kou Ji took a meal with his back to the high place and said respectfully: "You are threatening the court, the Manchu civil and military, who will help you? The Li family and Cao family have left you, you still don't know how to wake up.
After three days, if you do not die, help Gao Jiamanmen prepare the coffin. "
Kou Ji sneered and said, "Retire with the country? The Fu family also retires with the country. Where is the Fu family now?"
Kou Ji shook his head and left the room, leaving Gao Chu Gong alone in it.
Opportunity, he has already given Gao Chu a respect.
If Gao Chu Gong is obsessed with not realizing it, then there really is no need for the Gao family to exist.
Kou Ji left the Fanlou, wandered all the way and entered the palace again.
After seeing Zhao Zhen, without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Kou Ji placed the manuscript written by Zhao Zhen himself in front of Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen's face was very ugly and said: "Gao Chu Gong did not agree?"
Kou Ji said indifferently: "Yes, it is promised, but Gao Chujiao does not accept the terms you made.
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "What does he want?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "The members of Yizijiaozipu... and his officials..."
"presumptuous!"
Zhao Zhen roared angrily.
Zhao Zhen pointed to the outside of the hall and shouted angrily: "Is he still a real courtier? Talk to me and threaten me? He is more like an emperor than me!"
Kou Ji admonished: "The official calmed down his anger, and the minister gave Gao Chu Gong three days to make him think clearly."
Zhao Zhen angrily said: "I don't want to give it a day. I have been threatening me repeatedly, when I am muddled?"
"Officials..."
"Chen Lin?!"
Kou Ji deliberately gave a few words of exhortation, but Zhao Zhen ignored them and began to shout to Chen Lin.
Chen Lin trot into the hall amid Zhao Zhen's shouts.
Zhao Zhen saw Chen Lin and said angrily: "Where did you die? How did you appear?"
Seeing Zhao Zhen's anger, Chen Lin said without any hesitation, "The slave and maidservant are guilty, please be punished by the official."
