In the eyes of Princess Li, Zhao Zhen is above all else.
Zhao Zhen got close to her, and she saw the haggard look on Zhao Zhen's face clearly, her heart was broken, how could she care about other things.
Concubine Li fumbled for Zhao Zhen for a long time, and saw Zhao Zhen's slightly red and swollen eye sockets, and said in uncomfortable sadness: "My son, you have been wronged..."
Zhao Zhen let Concubine Li fumble, and whispered: "It's the courtiers of the emperor who failed to teach you well, and you are wronged."
Concubine Li shook her head and said with tears in her tears: "My mother is not wronged... My mother stopped her because she was afraid that you would be wronged. It's nothing to be wronged by your mother, mother is used to it."
What the Concubine Li said was from her heart.
Although she was the official's biological mother, after the official's birth, she was imprisoned in a deep palace.
In her confinement years, she knew how many wrongs she had suffered. She knew in her heart that she had already gotten used to it.
She came forward twice to denounce Kou Ji and Wang Zeng, all for Zhao Zhen.
She was afraid that Zhao Zhen would suffer from the pain of suffering from the loss of his son, and face the difficulties of the Manchu civil and military affairs.
That's why they have repeatedly come forward.
The purpose is to help Zhao Zhen solve problems.
Although she was bumped twice during this process, she was agitated, but she did not trouble Zhao Zhen with this matter.
Kou Ji ran into her in the Korean Beauty Palace. If she was really scheming, she would have been in Zhao Zhen's palace a long time ago and let Zhao Zhen stop Kou Ji.
Wang Zeng confronted her and made her feel angry. If she was scheming, she would not leave it behind when she saw Zhao Zhen's look languid and haggard.
Zhao Zhen felt a pain in his heart when he heard the words of Princess Li. He snorted, gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Zeng, you damn..."
Without a word, Wang Zeng bowed and said: "The minister is guilty..."
Zhao Zhen snorted again, but did not order anyone to drag Wang Zeng out and chop Wang Zeng out. He led Concubine Li and looked at the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts, and said coldly: "I want to add Concubine Li as the queen mother. Please discuss the title tomorrow. Report it to me."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yijian went out of class and said: "Officials..."
Without waiting for Lu Yijian to finish speaking, Zhao Zhen said in a cold voice: "I am not discussing with you. If you give you, you will do it if you can. If you can't, get out of the court if you can't. Change someone."
Concubine Li saw that Zhao Zhen was so domineering towards Manchu civil and military affairs, and said a little worried: "My son, whether you want the queen mother or not, it's the same."
Zhao Zhen shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Manny, don't worry, I have the final say on this matter."
Lu Yijian and others opened their mouths when they heard Zhao Zhen's domineering words, no one dared to speak anymore.
Zhao Zhen respected Concubine Li as the Queen Mother. At other times, there is nothing wrong. After all, Concubine Li is Zhao Zhen's biological mother. Now there is no queen mother in the palace. There is no such thing as the two houses side by side, so it is normal to respect Concubine Li as the queen mother.
But now there is a big case happening in the palace, and the case has not been investigated. The palace is on the cusp of the storm. At this time, Zhao Zhen respected Mrs. Li as the queen mother, which was a bit out of date.
But Zhao Zhen made a firm decision on the matter, and Lu Yijian and others had trouble saying anything.
When Zhao Zhen saw that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not oppose anymore, he snorted: "I have handed over the affairs of the palace to the fourth brother. You don't need to worry about it anymore. What should I do? It has delayed the affairs of the country. , I want you to wait for it to look good."
Manchu Wenwu heard Zhao Zhen's words with a look of astonishment.
It was not the overbearing in Zhao Zhen's tone that was astonished.
What was shocked was that Zhao Zhen called Kou Ji the fourth elder brother in front of the Manchu civil and military side.
Everyone in the government and the opposition knew that Zhao Zhen regarded Kou Ji as his elder brother, and kept calling Kou Ji's fourth brother.
But that was a private matter. On formal occasions, Zhao Zhen never called Kou Ji the fourth brother because it was not appropriate.
But right now, Zhao Zhen actually called out the fourth brother in front of the Manchu Civil and Martial Arts.
How can the Manchu civil and military not be surprised.
Before the Manchu civil and military warriors could say something to exhort, Zhao Zhen threw off his sleeves and helped Li Taifei to walk out.
The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty stood in place one by one with a dazed expression.
After a long time, Manchu Wenwu looked at Empress Cao who was sending Gong E and officials to clean up Zhao Zhen's bedroom, and planned to ask Empress Cao something.
Empress Cao didn't know why Zhao Zhen suddenly shouted to Kou Ji in front of everyone, so she ignored the Manchu civil and military.
"what should I do now?"
Zhu Neng scratched his head and asked aside.
The Manchu dynasty civil and military were a little confused.
Zhang Zhibai sighed and said: "We are here together to invite the official to leave the palace and investigate the murder in the palace. Now that the official has left the palace and handed over the murder to Kou Ji for disposal, we naturally do what we should do.
It depends on what result Kou Ji can find out.
When we need to come forward, we certainly can't hold back. "
Those who can kill and set fire in the palace, their own identity, and the identity behind it, are probably extraordinary.
Kou Ji may not be able to move to the bottom of the house, and when necessary, he needs the support of the Manchu civil and military forces.
After hearing what Zhang Zhibai said, Lu Yijian said unceremoniously: "It's about the country, so naturally we can't hold back."
Zhu Neng and Chong Shiheng, representing Wuchen, agreed to this matter.
The Manchu dynasty, civil and military, stood on the united front on this matter.
After discussing the matter, Manchu Wenwu left the harem.
After Zhao Zhen assisted Concubine Li back to the palace, he accompanied Concubine Li to speak for a long time, comforting Concubine Li, so that Concubine Li didn't have to worry about him, and waited until night fell and after Concubine Li fell asleep, Zhao Zhen left her bedroom.
After leaving the dormitory of Princess Li, Zhao Zhen frowned, searched around, and asked the eunuch next to him: "Where is Chen Lin?"
The eunuch just said hurriedly: "Back to the official's house, Chen Daban is leading the people, and she is locking the bedroom of Han Meiren."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and he sighed, "I forgot about it..."
After the sigh, Zhao Zhen instructed the eunuch: "You go down and prepare for the carriage, I want to leave the palace."
Hearing this, the eunuch was taken aback for a while, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and persuaded: "Officials, it is late at night, and the gates of the palaces have been locked. I am afraid it would be inconvenient to go out now.
Zhao Zhen condensed his brows slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Just do as I ordered."
The eunuch heard that Zhao Zhen insisted on going out of the palace, and did not dare to speak out.
Immediately they went down to prepare the frame, and summoned the Yu Qianwei and the masters of the equipment supervisor.
After everything was prepared, Zhao Zhen sat on the frame and left the palace with his face brushing all the way.
The guards in the palace only recognized Zhao Zhen's face, and it was more difficult for other people to get into and out of the palace after nightfall.
After Zhao Zhen left the palace, he passed the inner city gate and the outer city gate and left Bianjing.
Some people who rushed to the outside of Bianjing city as night, sleep at the foot of the city wall outside Bianjing city.
Seeing that the gate of Bianjing city was opened in the middle of the night, one by one was awakened.
"The biggest one in Bianjing City has come out?"
"You fart!"
"Why did I fart? In our county, after the city gate is closed, only the county magistrate can let people open the city gate in the middle of the night. Is it the largest in Bianjing?"
"The biggest city in Bianjing is the official family. Do you think the official family will go out of the city to meet others? His elderly people are all sitting in the hanging arch hall, waiting for others to visit."
"That's also..."
"..."
The people at the foot of the city wall murmured, then fell asleep next to the city wall again.
They don't have the qualifications to go in after the city gate has been opened. If they really want to break through, they will inevitably be taken to Kaifeng Mansion.
Naturally, Zhao Zhen would not pay attention to the people at the foot of the city wall. He instructed the eunuch to drive to the gate of the Kou Mansion’s courtyard and awakened the Kou Mansion guard who was guarding the wall.
The guard of Kou Mansion took a closer look in the moonlight and found that it was a carriage in the palace, and immediately went in to report it.
After Zhao Zhen drove to the door of the Kou Mansion's courtyard, he ordered the eunuch who was travelling with him to knock on the door.
"Boom boom boom..."
The door of Kou Mansion slowly opened, and the door appeared outside the mansion.
The eunuch who knocked on the door said solemnly: "The official's visitor is here, tell Privy Councilor Kou quickly and let Prisoner Kou arrive to welcome you.
Hearing this, the door was a little flustered, and said: "The villain will go and report..."
With the door open, he hurried to the backyard and reported it to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji had long been awakened by the guards.
Kou Ji is staying in the study tonight, and he made time specially for Xiang Yan and Xiang Jia's younger sister.
When the door entered the study, Kou Ji had already passed the guard's mouth and knew that there was someone in the palace.
There are not many people in the palace who are eligible to go out at night, so Kou Ji has roughly guessed who it is.
After the door entered the study, Kou Ji asked, "Is the official house here?"
The door was taken aback, and looked at Kou Ji in amazement, with a questioning look on his face.
Kou Ji said lightly: "There are not many people who can go out in the middle of the night in the palace. Only the official family and Chen Lin can come to Kou's mansion. Chen Lin often comes to the mansion. If he arrives, you won't show panic. look.
You look flustered, it must be the official arrival. "
Menzi looked admiringly and said: "Young Master is really like a god."
Kou Ji glanced at him and didn't bother to talk to him.
Kou Ji said to himself: "Since the official is out of the palace, it means that he has come out of grief, and I am relieved."
Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at the door and said: "Go and tell the official, just say I said I was asleep."
Menzi looked astonished, and almost didn't drop his chin to the ground.
"Are you sure" written all over your face
Kou Ji glanced up and down at the door, "Is there a problem?"
The door swallowed a mouthful of water, and tremblingly said: "That's... the official..."
Kou Ji said dissatisfied: "What about the official? The official can't disturb others to sleep."
The door swallowed again.
I was screaming in my heart.
Master! The Song Dynasty can no longer find anyone better than you.
Dare to let the officials shut their doors, you are amazing!
Are you afraid of death
Kou Ji glanced at the door, "Go or not?"
"go with!"
If this thing is really done, you can brag for a lifetime in the future.
No, at least seven or eight generations of people can take it out to brag.
If the officials really want to blame the young master for this, then protect the young master to Yuanshan Kingdom.
After the door agreed, he asked in a low voice: "Does the villain follow the original words of the young master, or?"
"Exact words!"
"Here!"
The door agreed and went out of the study, took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and rushed to the gate of the mansion aggressively.
As soon as he saw the eunuch at the gate of the mansion, his momentum instantly weakened.
After all, he still couldn't show the courage to speak harsh words to the officials and their people.
The door was bowed and appeared in front of the mansion, smiling bitterly at the eunuch: "My master said, he is asleep..."
The eunuch opened his eyes for an instant, and when he was about to scold him, he heard a sigh from Zhao Zhen's carriage.
"Since the fourth brother doesn't want to see me, I will come back tomorrow."
Before the eunuch could react, Zhao Zhen declared in the carriage.
"Go back to the palace!"
Zhao Zhen drove away from the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
The Kou Mansion House did not fall into calm because of this, but it boiled completely.
The servants, maidservants, Jia Ding, and guards of the Kou Mansion's courtyard were all awakened, secretly discussing the news that Zhao Zhen had been turned away.
Xiang Yan and Xiangjia sister who were sleeping were also awakened.
There was only Kou Tianci in the house, and he slept heartlessly.
After Xiang Yan was awakened, she let the little sister Xiangjia stay in the room. She dressed neatly and hurried to Kou Ji's study.
As soon as I entered the study door, I saw Kou Ji lying on the temporary couch, preparing to rest.
"Msang Gong, you still want to sleep..."
Kou Ji saw Xiang Yan, and quickly got up, helped Xiang Yan sit on the couch, and said, "Why don't I have the heart to sleep? I haven't done anything wrong."
Xiang Yan shook Kou Ji's hand and said, "I heard that the official family was here just now?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Xiang Yan shook Kou Ji's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Did you shut out the official house?"
Kou Ji nodded again.
Xiang Yan said in shock: "That's an official!"
Kou Ji said indifferently, "So what?"
Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "You shut the official house out. If the official house hates you for this, how can you stand in the court in the future?"
Kou Ji said haha, "Do you think I am willing? He has to give me the treasure seal, if I don't want it, he will chase after him, I can only avoid him."
Xiang Yan stared at Kou Ji slantingly, biting her red lips and said, "Do you think the concubine is an idiot?"
What is Baoxi
That is the Seal of the National Treasures, and only those who inherit the great ruler are qualified to control it.
Giving up Baoxi is tantamount to giving up Jiangshan Sheji.
The official surrendered the inherited treasure to you
Is he crazy, or are you crazy
After questioning Xiang Yan, Kou Ji smiled dryly: "Well, to tell you the truth, the official invited me to investigate the case in the palace, but the case in the palace is a little bit involved. I don't want to intervene, but the official is obviously not willing to intervene. Let me go.
So I can only avoid seeing it. "
"The case in the palace?"
Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "The case that Xianggong said, but the case of Han Meiren with one dead body and two lives?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Xiang Yan asked, "What clue did Xiang Gong find out?"
Kou Ji nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not a clue, but some people who are not moving are involved. So I don't want to intervene."
"The unmovable person?"
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "There are not many people in the palace who are not easy to investigate, except for the officials, that is, the three ladies..."
Xiang Yan stared in amazement, and said in shock: "It has something to do with the three toffees?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said: "One of them..."
Xiang Yan sucked in the air and said, "That's great... No wonder Xianggong is unwilling to intervene in this matter."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "I am so filial to Song Zhongren. When I found the concubine's head, it is not only difficult for officials to do, but also for me."
Xiang Yan nodded and said: "If the official can't be cruel, you are likely to be caught between the official and the Manchu civil and military. However, the official is visiting late tonight and obviously refuses to let you go.
If he can come once, he can come a second time.
You can't avoid it.
Can Xiang Gong think of a way to push this matter to others? "
Kou Ji sighed and said, "If I don't investigate this matter and hand it over to someone else, I will definitely mess it up."
The matter involves the Toffee, and not many people are qualified to investigate.
Only the Inner Court Sanzai and Kou Ji.
The six books are not qualified enough.
The same is true for the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Give it to Inner Court Sam Jae
They may not be able to find out the truth, even if they find out the truth, it will not be easy.
There is no way to move to the evil head without hiding the palace scandal.
If you summon the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, if you please punish the evil head, the city will be full of troubles.
Once the court scandal spreads all over the world, the royal family's face will not shine.
More importantly, Zhao Zhen's attitude.
Zhao Zhen is now overbearing, but he is only an outsider. If he is really allowed to use the people in his heart, he may not be cruel.
Even if Zhao Zhen got a ruthless hand, the folks would not agree.
Because of the word benevolence and filial piety, Zhao Zhen was bound to death.
The Manchu civil and military forces would also be divided into two factions, fighting against Zhao Zhen.
The court scandal will be cleaned up during this period.
The Zhao Song royal family will therefore be portrayed as a place where dirt and dirt are hidden.
Zhao Zhen would hate the Manchu civil and military.
In the future, there will be no-ending battles between monarchs and ministers and internal struggles.
Only when Kou Ji investigates the matter can the matter be sealed within the palace and not allowed to spread out.
He can make decisions directly after discussing with Zhao Zhen on matters that require decision.
Because he and Zhao Zhen held the power of the world's soldiers and horses in their hands.
The two of them can mobilize soldiers and horses at any time without going through the Manchu civil and military, to achieve any purpose they want, and block all the news they want to block.
More importantly, Kou Ji can be the villain when necessary, but the Inner Court Sanjae may not be willing.
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Xiang Yan gritted her teeth and said: "Listen to Xianggong's meaning, this matter can only be properly investigated by Xianggong, and it will eventually fall on Xianggong's head?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Xiang Yan said worriedly: "But the matter involves the Toffee... You really want to find out about it, and you won't be pleased with anyone. The concubine knows that the day the Empress Dowager Liu was afflicted, the official did it himself and gave birth. Hacked Wang Qinruo.
This shows that officials still care about filial piety in their hearts.
After you find out this matter, the officials will probably create a gap with you.
If the Manchu civil and military wants to impeach you, they will use it as a handle. "
Kou Ji laughed when he heard the words, and said, "You are worrying too much. Regardless of whether it is an official or a Manchu court, what matters most is the inheritance of the emperor's heir. Therefore, even if I check it out at this time, I won't get burned."
"Really?"
"It's about the court scandal, and the official will definitely order it to be sealed afterwards. Although the palace is a sieve, the official government has issued the password in recent years, and it has not been spread around.
From this we can see that the official passwords are still effective. "
"..."
Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji, then hesitated for a moment: "Miangong actually wants to investigate this, right?"
Kou Ji sighed and said, "The official family called me fourth brother, I can't watch the official family extinct heir. And..."
Kou Ji's face was slightly cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The people behind dare to kill under my nose. Let me be a dignified clerk and break my trust with a poor old woman. I absolutely cannot tolerate this.
If I, Kou Ji, can't help her get justice, how can I go to Anbang Dingguo and protect the people of Li in the future. "
Xiang Yan sighed when he heard the words, "Miangong has big ambitions to reach out, and the concubine naturally dare not stop it. But since Miangong wants to investigate this matter, why should he turn the official family away."
"Look at him upset..."
"Ok?!"
Xiang Yan stared at Kou Ji in amazement, "Miangong, are you an idiot again as a concubine?"
Kou Ji said very seriously and sincerely: "I really think he is unhappy, so I let him eat it behind closed doors."
"That's official!"
Xiang Yan screamed.
Kou Ji said indifferently: "What about the official family? My old Kou family is not afraid of the official family. My grandfather dared to pull the sleeves of Emperor Taizong, admonish him to Emperor Taizong, and dare to intimidate the first emperor. In the battle on the battlefield, I let the officials eat once or twice behind closed doors, why not
If he doesn't understand me anymore, just leave me alone.
I can also break free of this cage and go out to be the king.
The world is far bigger than the world imagined.
Da Song is not the only place of wealth in the world.
Outside the Song Dynasty, there are countless vast and prosperous places.
Leaving the Song Dynasty, leaving the cage, the land under the sky, it is not for me to ask for it. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji smiled and said to Xiang Yan: "At that time, I will be the king and you will be the wife of the village."
Xiang Yan heard Kou Ji's words, and said dumbfounded: "Xiangong, you are pure nonsense. The envoys of Fanbang, but the concubines have seen them. When they entered the city of Bianjing, they were all dressed in their respective states. The most gorgeous clothes.
It's just that their clothes are not as good as the ones that the concubines give to the maids on weekdays.
Where can they be better? "
After a pause, Xiang Yan said again: "Furthermore, isn't the king's wife the princess? Why is it the wife of the village? Is Xianggong going to resign and become a mountain bandit? Isn't he going back more and more
And most of the generals of the town army in all parts of the Song Dynasty were promoted by you.
If you become a bandit, they should cry.
You can't hit or scold, you can't scold, you can only do anything wrong. "
Kou Ji laughed aloud: "The envoys of the Fanbang you saw are only the neighbors of the Great Song. Outside the neighbors of the Great Song, there are countless states, beyond your imagination."
"The concubine body doesn't know how many states there are in the neighbors of Song Dynasty. The concubine body only knows, no matter how many states, there is no one that can compare to my Da Song Dynasty."
"Superficial..."
"The concubine's body is not superficial. There is a saying among the folks that it is not as good as one's own kennel. No matter how good another place is, it is not as comfortable as living in one's own place."
"Um... This is the truth."
