"Everyone, wait here, the old man will go to the official of the household department to come and count the belongings..."
Wang Zeng was very excited and said to Lu Yijian and the others, then turned around and drove to his carriage.
When Wang Zeng was leaving, Kou Ji said loudly: "There are two boats in it, which belong to my Kou Mansion..."
Wang Zeng paused for a while, and said without looking back: "I know..."
After saying this, he climbed into his carriage and told the groom to drive the carriage to the place where the yamen of the household department was.
The two boats mentioned by Kou Ji were family assets of Kou Mansion, and Wang Zeng didn't care at all.
Don't say that Kou Ji talked about two ships. Even if Kou Ji opened his mouth and talked about five ships, Wang Zeng would not frown.
The money that Kou Li escorted back was a windfall for the court. The court got such a great benefit for nothing, so it had to be shared with the Kou Mansion in every sense and reason.
Not only had to share the profit for Kou Mansion, but Kou Li had to be promoted to recognize Kou Li's achievements.
After all, the imperial court was able to get such a windfall, on the face of it, it was Kou Li's credit.
After Wang Zeng had left, Kou Ji looked at Lu Yijian, curled his lips and said, "Can Lu Gong repeat what I just said?"
Lu Yijian was ridiculing Kou Ji just now.
Now that things have reversed, Kou Ji naturally finds a place to go back.
Lu Yijian's cheeks blushed a little when he heard Kou Ji's words. He glared at Kou Ji, snorted, flicked his sleeves, and left the ferry with his hands on his back.
Zhang Zhibai cried and pointed to Kou Ji.
It seems to be complaining that Kou Ji shouldn't embarrass Lu Yijian with such trivial matters.
Kou Ji smiled faintly.
He has always been the kind of person who never stayed for revenge. Lu Yijian did not stop him a while ago. Now that he encounters an opportunity, he will naturally not let Lu Yijian go.
His current status is comparable to that of Lu Yijian, and his identity is also the same.
From the basic point of view, one belongs to Wen and the other belongs to Wu. It should be a deadly opponent.
He hadn't confronted Lu Yijian in the court, he was already very benevolent.
Zhang Zhibai could probably guess what Kou Ji’s thoughts were. He shook his head and smiled, and said, "Duke Lu and the prince have already left. The old man is not suitable for staying here. The old man is one step ahead. You have time to come back to the old man’s house. Sit down."
"I will definitely come to visit another day..."
Zhang Zhibai said a kind words, and Kou Ji also replied a kind words.
After being polite, Zhang Zhibai left the ferry.
Kou Ji returned to the side of the ship.
Looking at the huge amount of belongings unloaded by the boatmen, Kou Ji's mood was also very complicated.
Although Cole was responsible for escorting this batch of belongings and knew who gave him the batch of belongings, he didn't know where the batch of belongings came from.
Only Kou Ji knew about this.
The property that Kou Li was responsible for escorted indeed came from the sea, but it was not a tribute from a vassal, but Cao took advantage of the stolen spoils looted overseas with people.
There are indeed many overseas vassals, but how many people are really willing to present precious gifts to Song Dynasty
It would be good if the Song Dynasty did not come to fight the autumn breeze one by one. How could it be possible to present a generous tribute to the Song Dynasty.
Cao took advantage of regular soldiers and horses, armed with the sharpest weapons, and looted overseas for many years. Naturally, he looted more than that.
A large part of it has been secretly digested.
The ones sent to Bianjing are only a small part of them.
Cao took advantage of Kou Li's return to Beijing without notifying Kou Ji, so he prepared such a huge property and asked Kou Li to escort him back to Beijing, deliberately disgusting Kou Ji.
He knew that after these properties appeared in Bianjing City, they would inevitably cause a sensation, so he prepared the tribute documents ahead of time and asked Kou Li to bring them back together.
Anyway, he did not know where the small maritime countries that he had eliminated over the years, pretending to be those small countries he had eliminated, it was easy.
The reason why he prepared the paperwork in advance was to avoid Kou Mansion's reputation for being greedy for money.
Kou Ji easily inferred Cao's use intentions through Cao's use.
The dog day just wants to disgust him.
Simply disgusting him.
The reason is simple. After moving out of Leizhou, Cao wanted to establish a country overseas, and invited Kou Ji to become the country's master overseas, so that Kou Ji should not stay in Bianjing City to be frustrated.
But Kou Ji refused.
Cao took advantage of this and wanted to disgust him.
Cao took advantage of him and could only disgust him, and could do nothing for the rest.
Cao took advantage of his very happy life in Leizhou over the years, and he also made a big name on the sea.
But everything Cao used was built on Kou Ji's support.
If Kou Ji didn't support him, he would instantly become an ordinary person.
Half of the people Cao used in Leizhou came from Baozhou, and the other half were gangsters who had recruited security.
But whether it was from Baozhou past or the gangsters who were recruited, they were loyal to Kou Ji, not Cao taking advantage.
People in the past in Baozhou were loyal to Kou Ji, needless to say.
The reason why the gangsters in Leizhou are loyal to Kou Ji is related to the people in Baozhou's past.
Most of the people in Baozhou in the past were tough pawns who were formally trained.
After those gangsters are incorporated, they naturally need to be reorganized and retrained.
People from Baozhou in the past often talked about Kou Ji when training them.
Over time, those gangsters were naturally brainwashed.
One by one to Kou Ji, that is loyal.
In addition, the people of Kou Mansion sent some supplies they lacked from time to time, and most of what they ate was provided by the Kou Mansion. How could they not be loyal to Kou Ji
Although Cao Liu led them, it was difficult to instigate them.
In addition, all the armaments and ships they used were all provided by the Kou Mansion, and they were all in the hands of the Kou Mansion.
Cao used it to do something privately, but he couldn't do it.
Cao took advantage of other thoughts when he first arrived in Leizhou. He fought Kou Ji overtly and secretly. After losing the fight, he completely resigned his life and worked hard to help Kou Ji work.
In Kou Ji's eyes, Cao used to be an eagle.
If you can't get through him, you will be played by him.
If you can survive him, he will be loyal to you.
It's just that this war eagle is a bit naughty now.
Kou Ji was considering whether to send a message to let Cao hang up and fight.
Kou Ji didn't care about some property.
Kou Ji himself doesn't know how much money Kou Mansion has now, he is not bad at that.
What he cares about is Cao's attitude towards him.
Just as Kou Ji was considering whether to send someone to clean up Cao's use, Wang Zeng had already rushed to the ferry with a group of officials from the household department.
Kou Ji ordered the boatman and servants of Kou Mansion to load the car with Kou Mansion's belongings, and threw the remaining belongings to Wang Zeng, and then took the people back to the Kou Mansion mansion in Bianjing.
The mansion of the Kou Mansion was lent to the court twice to store money, and many tables, chairs and other things were stacked in one place.
Kou Ji ordered people to clean up early.
After Kou Ji took Kou Li back to the mansion, the Kou Mansion mansion had been cleaned up.
After the family had a simple meal, Kou Ji left the Kou Mansion with Xiang Yan and Kou Tianci.
Before leaving, Kou Li insisted on giving Xiang Yan and Kou Tian the stuffed yellow and white stuff, and Xiang Yan also accepted it symbolically.
Out of the house.
Sitting in the carriage, Xiang Yan held Kou Tianci, who had already fallen asleep, and sat beside Kou Ji in a low voice: "Father-in-law... seems to be afraid of you?"
Before Kou Ji could speak, Xiang Yan added, "It seems that all of them are afraid of you?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "Who knows. I didn't do anything to them, and I don't understand why they are afraid of me."
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.
Kou Ji smiled faintly, without explaining much.
The reason why Coli was afraid of him might have something to do with Coli's experience in Leizhou.
When Kou Ji sent people to Leizhou for the first time, Kou Li always relied on his father's identity to interfere in many affairs.
Then Kou Ji issued an order, so that the people he sent don't need to care about Kou Li, as Kou Li did not exist.
After a while, Coley became completely obedient and never dared to intervene in any affairs anymore.
There is no other reason.
The group of killers sent by Kou Ji began to kill.
The group of guys are in a half-dharma place, and they still have converged.
When they arrive outside the law, one by one is like a scourge.
In order to earn money and to grab a place, they did not know how many people were killed.
Anyway, every time they return from sea, their bodies are full of blood.
After Coulee smelled the bloody smell on them, he never dared to care about them again.
Coming from this generation, he is also an official. Cole has seen dead people and many murderers.
But he had seen the worst people, and he didn't have the bloody smell on them.
Kou Li is not afraid of a killer.
But Couli was really afraid of a group of killers.
Not only Coley was afraid, but the family members around him were also afraid.
It is precisely because of this.
Kou Li and others felt terrified towards Kou Ji, who could hold a group of killers thousands of miles away.
Kou Ji didn't want to talk to Xiang Yan more about this, so when Xiang Yan asked about it, Kou Ji could only smile.
Xiang Yan didn't ask about this, but thought of other things, "The father-in-law doesn't seem to be close to you?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "When I was young, he went out to study. After I arrived in Bianjing, he has been in a ban, and was later sent to other places.
Although he is my dad, we don't spend much time together.
Not very close, that's normal. "
Xiang Yan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart: "But when her concubine looks at her father-in-law and gets close to other children, but doesn't feel close to you, it feels very uncomfortable in her heart."
Kou Jishi smiled and said, "I like being alone, and I am used to being alone."
"You are not alone, you have a concubine..."
"And Shier..."
"..."
Koj laughed, "Yes, I still have you and Godsend. So you don't have to feel uncomfortable for me. Anyway, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Xiang Yan nodded heavily, holding Kou Tianci and leaning on Kou Ji's shoulder.
After the family of three left the city of Bianjing, they never went to the Kou Mansion Mansion again.
After Wang Zeng took the huge amount of money presented by Kou Ji, he immediately wrote a memo and handed it to Zhao Zhen.
After Zhao Zhen dispatched the people from Hongxu Temple to include several vassals mentioned in the document presented by Kou Ji into the list of countries that he can associate with, he promoted Kou Li to an official.
Kou Li was promoted to the Ministry of Rites and became a member of the food and beverage department.
An idle official position does not need to go to work often, and does not need to go to court.
Coulee gave a thank-you memorial.
The matter is over.
In order to avoid the Kou Mansion's notoriety, the court also issued a special report to clarify the tribute.
After the matter was completely calm, it was New Year's Day.
This year's New Year is extremely lively.
Before the New Year's Day approached, Zhao Zhen gave Jin Wu's uncontrollable order.
Last year's New Year's Day, Zhao Zhen was not in Bianjing, so this year's New Year's Day, we must make up for last year's excitement.
From the twenty-fifth of the twelfth lunar month.
The city of Bianjing entered into a strong atmosphere of the New Year.
There are lights and colorful lights all over the Bianjing city, and the sound of firecrackers races through the day, so it's so lively.
The most lively is the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
The twenty-eighth lunar month.
The Liao state envoy escorted the coins to the Song Dynasty into Beijing.
Early in the morning.
The people flocked to both sides of the streets that the Liao envoys were going to pass through.
The Song Dynasty has given the Liao country more than ten years of Sui coins, and now it is the Liao Kingdom’s turn to give the Song the Sui coins. The people of the Song Dynasty naturally felt that they had to gather together to take a look. The lonely Liao people in previous years, What did it look like this year when the Sui coin was given away.
The people stayed on both sides of the street for a long time, until the sun was shining brightly before they waited for the team of the Liao Dynasty.
The leader was Yang Shenxing, the important minister of Liao, and the officials and soldiers accompanying him were all Han people.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu seemed to have expected that the people of the Song Dynasty would watch the envoys he sent to the Song Dynasty, so it was useless for a single Liao, and all the people sent were Han.
After seeing the appearance of the Liao Envoy, the people were excited one by one, ready to shout something to express their feelings.
But after seeing that the Liao Kingdom's envoys were all Han people, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
What they want to see is the Liao people bow their heads, not their own people bow their heads to them.
The people did not see the Liao people, so they lost their screaming mind.
When Yang Shenxing led people through the people, he saw a strange scene.
The people on both sides of the street stared at them one by one, but no one spoke.
Wherever I go, quietly.
Yang Shenxing was a little numb when the people saw him.
A group of people was passing by the Zhouqiao.
Someone spit at their team.
Then everyone started spitting at them.
Yang Shenxing endured the humiliation, and when he led the people to the gate of the palace, everyone had been baptized with saliva.
When Yang Shenxing and his party arrived in front of Donghua Gate, they saw a person standing on the Jinshui Bridge in front of Donghua Gate.
The man stood with his hands over, staring at them.
After careful identification, Yang Shenxing found that it was Kou Ji, and hurriedly shouted: "But the Secret Envoy of the Song Dynasty, Kou Changsheng? I am Daliao..."
Yang Shenxing wants to get close to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't mean to be close to him.
Kou Ji stared at Yang Shenxing and his party coldly, and said, "Who are you?"
Yang Shenxing was taken aback for a moment, guessing that Kou Ji might be embarrassing him, so he didn't get close, he bowed his hand and said, "I am the envoy of Daliao Yang Shenxing..."
Kou Ji snorted coldly: "Daliao? Fanbang belongs to the country, dare you to be big in front of my Song?"
When Yang Shenxing heard the words, he sighed inwardly, and said again: "I am the envoy of the Liao Kingdom Yang Shenxing..."
Kou Ji asked in a cold voice, "What happened to the envoy of the Liao Kingdom entering my Song Dynasty?"
Yang Shenxing hurriedly said: "By my emperor's order, I will send tribute to His Majesty the Song Emperor..."
Kou Ji coldly snorted: "Since it is a gift for the year, why do you bring swordsmen into the city?"
Yang Shenxing looked at Kou Ji blankly.
Kou Ji said coldly: "I have a new law of Song Dynasty, but all the envoys of Fanbang are not allowed to bring swordsmen when they enter Beijing.
Yang Shenxing wanted to refute immediately.
Just listen to Kou Ji continue to say: "If the Fanbang doesn't comply, you can go back the same way and wait for my great Song soldiers to come."
Yang Shenxing immediately closed his mouth, and very humiliatingly ordered the casual soldiers and horses to hand over their swords, guns, swords and halberds, and let them leave Bianjing City with them.
Some are packed up later.
Yang Shenxing stared at Kou Ji and said, "Is this all right? We can enter the palace to see His Majesty Song Emperor, right?"
Kou Ji glanced at Yang Shenxing and said faintly: "Can you go into the palace to meet the officials? What does it have to do with me? I am the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, not the Great Song Hongyou Temple.
I just passed by here to see if you don't obey the laws of my Great Song, so I just reminded you aloud. "
Yang Shenxing's face flushed for an instant.
Kou Ji ignored him, and walked across the Jinshui Bridge to the palace.
Eventually, Yang Shenxing was received by the officials of Honghe Temple and went to the post office to change his clothes and escorted his belongings into the palace.
After Yang Shenxing entered the palace, all the civil and military forces of the Song Dynasty had gathered in the hanging arch hall.
Except for Kou Ji, one of the civil and military personnel in the Chui Gong Hall was counted as one. When the Liao envoy entered the hall, his chest was straight.
Even the three of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai are not immune.
They pretended to be grandsons in front of Liao people for many years, and finally turned over and became grandfathers, so they naturally wanted to show off.
Yang Shenxing entered the Chui Gong Hall and bowed to Zhao Zhen respectfully.
"Yang Shenxing, the envoy of the Liao State of the Lower State, see His Majesty the Emperor Song..."
Yang Shenxing's exit of the word'Xiabang' made the civil and military inside the Chugong Hall a little moved.
Da Song really got stronger.
Become stronger than ever.
The three dynasties of Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong failed to turn the Liao Kingdom into a subordinate state.
The officialdom took the throne for several years, and the Liao State became a sub-state, and the Liao State surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
The Liao Kingdom has bowed its head.
Then, in the world, no one would dare to raise his head and talk to Song Da Song.
From then on, Da Song will become a real celestial state.
Rather than the kind of celestial state that was bought with money.
The Manchu civil and military hearts were filled with emotion.
Yang Shenxing did not stop because of this. After giving a gift to Zhao Zhen, he handed over the letter of credence to Zhao Zhen.
After Zhao Zhen got the credential, he placed it on the Long Case and said to Yang Shenxing: "Yang Shenxing, you are sending me to the Song Dynasty on behalf of the Liao Kingdom. I originally wanted to embarrass you for the civil and military affairs of the Liao Dynasty.
After all, my envoys of Song Dynasty were embarrassed by the nobles of Liao when they were envoys to Liao.
But I stopped it.
As long as you obey the laws of my great song, follow the rules of my great song.
I will not embarrass you.
I am not the kind of bullying person. "
Yang Shenxing heard Zhao Zhen's words, and his heart was bitter secretly.
Zhao Zhen's remarks calmly stepped on the foot of the Liao Emperor and gave himself a hand.
Yang Shenxing is not good at answering Zhao Zhen's words.
If you agree, today's scene was passed back to the Liao State, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would inevitably find him to settle the accounts.
If you disagree, don't give Zhao Zhen face.
If you don't give Zhao Zhen face, it is impossible to guarantee that courtiers will not wear shoes to Zhao Zhen in order to flatter him.
Yang Shenxing pondered over and over again, but could only give a deep salute to Zhao Zhen, without saying a word.
He was begging for mercy silently, begging Zhao Zhen to let him go.
Zhao Zhen didn't make him embarrassed. After instructing him to level himself, he asked him about the current situation of the Liao emperor and some of the current situation of the Liao Kingdom.
After the chat, they were taken to leave the Chuigong Temple.
After Yang Shenxing left, Zhao Zhen ordered the people to carry the annual tribute from the Liao Kingdom into the hall.
Zhao Zhen ordered the people to open the box full of gold and silver, so that all the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty watched, and then said: "I heard that after I have sent the coins to the Liao country every year, the Emperor of Liao will send me The silk cloth sent by the Song Dynasty was distributed to the civil and military of the Manchu as a reward.
He wanted the Liao country to go up and down, wearing the silk cloth sent by the Song Dynasty, remembering the wealth of my Song Dynasty, and thinking about the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Today, I will distribute to you the New Year coins sent from the Liao Kingdom.
I want you to remember that my Da Song can have today, not through peace talks, but by the soldiers desperately in exchange for it.
There are white bones buried in every territory of my Song Dynasty.
So I can't lose even an inch of land.
In the future, Da Song met with war again, whoever brought peace talks, I would send anyone to the border.
I asked him to fight for me with real swords and guns.
After working hard, come back and tell me if I want to have a peace talk. "
Zhao Zhen waved his hand to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin led the eunuchs and began to give money to Manchu civil and military affairs.
During the process of distributing the money, Zhao Zhen said to the Manchu civil and martial arts: "I believe that you will be reluctant to spend the coins sent by the Liao Kingdom. They will definitely be placed in the most eye-catching position at home, reminding themselves all the time. "
After receiving the reward, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty responded in unison without hesitation.
Then he waited with Zhao Zhen until the new year's coin was issued.
Zhao Zhen also said: "Among the annual tributes sent by the Liao Kingdom, there are twelve Dongzhu, and I keep three. The rest are rewarded to nine people including Cao Wei, Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai."
Kou Ji and others did not understand Zhao Zhen's move, or why Zhao Zhen became so generous.
But he still accepted Zhao Zhen's reward.
After rewarding the Manchu civil and military warfare, Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "From now on, I will no longer reward you with money on New Year's Eve. As soon as the reward is granted, the coins given by the Liao Kingdom shall prevail."
The Manchu dynasty civil and military heard this, and they were in an uproar.
However, Zhao Zhen did not talk about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty again, and did not announce the next dynasty.
Although the coins sent by the Liao Kingdom are rich, they are not worth mentioning compared to the money given to the officials in the palace on the New Year’s Eve banquet.
Zhao Zhen seems to have become generous, but in fact he has become stingy.
As a result, the Manchu dynasty civil and military officials lost a large amount of year-end awards, which is of course quite a criticism.
After Zhao Zhen left, they started talking in a low voice.
Kou Ji suddenly smiled when there was a lot of discussion about civil and military affairs in the Manchu dynasty, and he said with a smile: "I think that the official's move is very good... You are going to make a fortune in the future. Thank you the official."
