When Kou Ji arrived at the main hall, Kou Zhun Dama Jindao sat in the middle of the main hall, quite inspiring to ask his guilt.
"I saw my grandfather..."
Kou Ji entered the main hall and bowed to salute.
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji, and asked in a deep voice: "The official ordered the arrest of the nine families of Liu Clan, and Liu Heng is among them. You have a deep friendship with Liu Heng. If the official wants to kill Liu Heng, what are you going to do? "
Kou Ji smiled bitterly, and said, "What else can I do? I can only do my job and obey the destiny."
Kou Zhun was taken aback for a moment. He originally thought that Kou Ji would give up the idea of working hard for Liu Heng if he had to say a lot of great truths. He didn't expect that Kou Ji would be softened before he talked about the great truths.
Kou Zhun said in a puzzled way: "Are you not going to intercede for Liu Heng?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "I have already asked, and may have offended the official."
Kou Zhun was taken aback again, "Have you been asked?"
Kou Zhun automatically ignored the second half of Kou Ji's sentence.
Offend officials, then offend.
Nothing great.
Throughout the ages, loyal ministers have been rejected and hated by the monarch.
Civilians judge loyal ministers and see whether they dare to challenge the monarch.
People who dare to beat the monarch, who is rejected and hated by the monarch, the civilians regard you as a loyal minister without fear of power and uprightness.
Those who blindly cater to the holy will are definitely slanderers.
Why did the civil servants of Song Dynasty like to trouble the emperor
It was because after the emperor was troubled, it spread out and immediately became famous.
Therefore, in the eyes of Kou Zhun, it is not a matter to slap the monarch and offend the monarch.
As long as he walks upright and sits upright, the monarch is offended when he offends.
If the monarch is really not pleasing to your eyes, he will leave you alone. If you don't need to speak up, the civilians will speak for you, bluntly saying that the monarch is a faint emperor and cannot tolerate loyalty.
Even if the monarch had grievances in his heart, he could only break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, without even having a chance to argue.
Kou Zhun frowned and said: "Since you've been begging for love, the official still insists on taking Liu Heng into the capital. What happened in the palace is probably more serious than Lu Yijian's guess."
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji, "The official must have given the seal, so you don't have to tell the old man."
Kou Ji opened his mouth and sighed inwardly.
I didn't plan to tell you either.
Kou Zhun didn't know Kou Ji's thoughts. He just stared at Kou Ji and said: "You can beg for mercy, but don't go head-to-head with the officials because of this. The old man is still waiting for your retirement."
Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "Didn't I already say it? I will do what I can, do my best, and obey the fate."
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji couldn't keep it from the little flowery intestines in his stomach.
If Kou Jizhen was the kind of well-behaved person who obeyed his destiny, he would not have gone to the present, let alone sit in the position of privy envoy at a young age.
Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "Don't go head-to-head with the officials, you won't be pleased."
Kou Ji nodded seriously.
After a little pondering, Kou Ji asked, "Grandfather, what happened in the palace is extraordinary. I begged the official before, I am afraid it has caused the official to be dissatisfied. If I intercede again..."
Kou Zhun said dissatisfied: "No matter how big the matter is, what does it have to do with your plea? You pleaded with the official, and offended the official. Then have you ever thought that if you don't plead with the official, you will offend many people
You are now in the center, and you are no longer alone.
You have a large group of old students under your hand, and a large group of like-minded colleagues.
If you don't help Liu Heng intercede because you care about the officials, then you have lost your righteousness.
If you are not righteous, how can your group of old and like-minded colleagues trust you again, and how can they rely on their lives
Liu Heng is a brother who has had a life with you, and you are not willing to plead for him.
Then other people made mistakes, would you just watch them die
After the new veterans went out of their posts, they made close friends one by one and voted for them as disciples. What was it for
The purpose is to seek a backer and seek a refuge.
If your patron can't depend on and protect them, why do they depend on you
Don't look at your many old people, once you lose your righteousness, they will leave you in a very short time.
At that time, you will be a lonely person in the court.
You want to do great things, but once you become a lonely person, how do you do great things
The country cannot be governed by you and the official family.
It needs teamwork to thrive.
Righteousness is something nobody talks about in the court, and even some words that speak of affection will be laughed at after being taken out, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. "
Kou Ji was slightly dumb after hearing Kou Zhun's words.
When he pleaded for Liu Heng, he didn't think so much.
He simply wanted to save Liu Heng.
Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and reminded: "Grandfather, what happened in the palace is not simple."
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji, and said unsatisfactorily, "What if it is not simple? You have offended the official, as long as you find a way to calm the official, the relationship between the two of you will still be restored.
At most, you will be left out by the officials for a while.
But if you lose your righteousness, you become lonely.
Not only will you lose your family and a bunch of colleagues, you will also be in danger.
When you were young, you sat in the position of privy envoy, and many people looked jealous.
But why have you been sitting firmly in the position of the privy
One is the trust of the officials, and the other is that the old folks are helping you with disasters.
You are protecting them, and they are also protecting you.
They will help you stop the local rumors that are not good for you.
Others want to attack you in groups, they will whisper from the middle, and even help you solve the trouble ahead of time.
Some timid people, seeing a large number of students under your door, may give up the idea of dealing with you.
Once you have done something angering and complaining that caused the impeachment of everyone in the ruling and the opposition, they can also help you speak out and speak for you.
More importantly, once you are demoted, they can speak for you in front of the officials and get you up again.
Once you are gone, who will help you stand in the way.
Old man
The old man is already a dead man, and he can't help you with many disasters.
Official
Regardless of the opposition of the court officials, the officials rushed to the northwest to see you, which looked quite arrogant.
But you can ask the official family to try again.
Do you see if the Manchu civil and military will embarrass the officials
The officials of the Manchu dynasty were unable to withstand the resignation and resignation.
Officials can protect you once in the hands of the Manchu civil and military hands, but they can't protect you for a lifetime.
As long as the Manchu civil and military forces do not stop impeaching you, sooner or later the official will stop you.
How many catties do you have in Kou Ji? You should know that you will never compare to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Song Dynasty. "
Kou Ji smirked and said: "Grandfather, I understand what you said. I just don't want to lose friendship with the official."
Kou Zhun cursed, "A companion is like a tiger. You have seen that big worm talk to people. After it eats you, it can leave you a bone scum, even if it is very benevolent.
Counting on it to save you life, you are thinking of fart. "
"The official family is not the kind of ruthless king..."
"No matter how affectionate the king is, that is also a king."
"As ministers, we have to take care of the king's mood, right?"
"If he had a convulsion that day, would you be willing to give up the newly acquired Yanyun five-state land to the Liao State? If the old man took care of the emperor's mood back then, let him willingly give three million Guan Sui coins to the Liao people. , Can the people praise the old man for being a loyal minister?"
"Grandfather, you are a bit unreasonable. Things are different from him."
"Hmph, when you meet him, you will know that he is different."
"..."
Kou Ji broke with Kou Zhun for a long time, and finally lost.
Kou Zhun's meaning is very clear, he must intercede, and it will not work if he does not intercede, but he can only intercede, and do nothing else.
"The old man will stare at you at the house, lest you go crazy!"
"Follow the instructions of my grandfather!"
Kou Ji fooled Kou Zhun very unintentionally.
Seeing that Kou Ji agreed, Kou Zhun left the main hall.
After Kou Ji left the main hall, he touched the sweat on his forehead and murmured in a low voice, "The officials are also individuals..."
Kou Ji wanted to keep Liu Heng, but also to take care of Zhao Zhen's mood.
Kou Zhun's whole story is self-protection, which is not in line with Kou Ji's wishes.
Is Kou Zhun a selfish person
Kou Zhun is not.
The reason why he gave such selfish advice on this issue is purely to defend Kou Ji.
Kou Ji accepted Kou Zhun's wishes, but Kou Ji would not follow his statement.
Love, it is impossible for him to beg for Liu Heng anymore, because he has to take care of Zhao Zhen's mood.
If Zhao Zhen insists on killing Liu Heng, he will secretly help Liu Heng get out.
As long as there is no trace, Zhao Zhen's mood can be taken care of and Liu Heng's life can be saved at the same time.
Kou Ji left the main hall and rushed to his study alone.
He found that his study was definitely a good place to hide from trouble.
He stayed in the study, no one disturbed him.
Out of the study, both Xiang Yan and Kou Zhun came.
Although it was only pure heart trouble, Kou Ji needed a place of peace of mind now.
Kou Ji returned to the study.
Kou Zhong quickly entered the main hall and told Kou Zhun wordlessly what Kou Ji had muttered at the entrance of the main hall.
After Kou Zhun listened, he sighed again and again.
"Chi'er... Chi'er... sat in that position, if you want to be a wise king, you can't be a human..."
Kou Zhun's long sigh, in the main hall of Kou Mansion's courtyard, returned for a long time without noticing it.
For some time after that, Kou Ji stayed in the house and did not go out.
Zhao Zhen also stayed out of the court and did not appear.
The situation in Bianjing City did not disappear because the two of them stayed behind closed doors.
The second day Kou Jisuo lived in the mansion.
Zhao Zhen decreed that he was grateful for the nurturing grace of Concubine Yang and gave generously to the Yang clan.
Tai Fei Yang's brothers and others were promoted to officials successively.
One by one, I went to a place rich in oil and water.
On the surface, Tai Fei Yang's brothers and others have obtained huge benefits because of Tai Fei Yang's death.
But Kou Ji, who knew the inside story, felt the murderous intent.
Where oil and water are abundant, there are oil and water, and naturally there are risks.
It's easy to make money, and it's easy to be blamed.
Zhao Zhen obviously wanted to put Yang Taifei's brother and others on the shelf first, and then carefully selected them to punished them with a serious crime enough to punish the nine tribes, and then cut them clean.
As long as Zhao Zhen's crimes against them are large enough to arouse the resentment of everyone in the world.
Concubine Yang's shadow could not be covered either.
When the brothers Yang Taifei and others took office happily.
Zhao Zhen slammed the bloody first knife.
It was not the Chen, Su, or Liu that was the first to slash, but the people in the palace.
The demons and demons in the palace, regardless of whether they were involved in this matter, as long as they were found out, they were all sent to the guillotine by Zhao Zhen.
After Zhao Zhen waved his bloody long knife, he never stopped.
The monsters in the palace have finished killing, and the people who should be killed outside the palace are also escorted.
The Liu family members were the first to be pushed into the prison of the Criminal Ministry.
However, the Liu family and his son are still locked in the palace. Liu Heng has not yet been escorted to Beijing, so the Liu family members are not the first to be sent to the guillotine.
The first to be sent to the guillotine was the Su clan.
After all the nine Su clan were captured, there were nearly 800 people.
More than 800 people were taken to the execution ground at a time, and the scene was spectacular.
The executioner chopped his head round after round.
The chopped head was piled up on a hill on the execution ground, and the whole execution ground was stained with blood.
The scene is very shocking.
Kou Ji knew that the Su clan was not involved in what Taifei Yang and Liu Congmei did, so he paid a little attention to the beheaded crimes of the Su clan.
Among them, Kou Ji felt that it should be the real crime of the Su clan being beheaded.
That is, relying on the status of relatives of the emperor, invaded and occupied land in the countryside.
The fertile land occupied by it is as much as 100,000 mu.
It's just a small imperial daughter. In the palace, it is not as important as some of the female officials. It is not surprising that the father and brother in the family dare to be so bold and beheaded.
Before he died, he was used by Zhao Zhen to confuse the audience.
Not long after the Su clan was beheaded, all the members of the Chen clan were escorted into the city of Bianjing.
The strange thing is that among the Chen family, there are no female family members, all males.
When the escort arrived at Bianjing, he was cut off.
No one knows where the Chen family's wife has gone.
Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen probably thought it was too cheap for the Chen family to cut all of the Chen family, so he sent the Chen family's wife to another place to be tortured.
Kou Ji couldn't guess what punishment he suffered.
But Kou Ji can conclude that it must be an extremely humiliating punishment.
After the Chen clan was beheaded.
Zhao Zhen didn't cut off the Liu clan, but resumed the Chang Dynasty.
But Kou Ji took sick leave and did not go.
The first day of the Shang Dynasty.
There is a book on the history of the servant, saying that Zhao Zhen's great way of killing and killing, there is no kindness, and he bluntly said that there are doubts in the affairs in the harem, asking Zhao Zhen to give the truth, it will not be too late to kill again.
Zhao Zhen stopped going to court again.
After the cessation of the court, a will was made.
Shi Yushi was dismissed from office and exiled for thousands of miles.
This action aroused dissatisfaction among the officials of Yushitai, and they wrote letters to justify them.
Zhao Zhen commuted the sentence to beheaded by the officials in Yushitai's defense.
Yushitai exploded all at once.
The censors gathered together and bombarded Zhao Zhen.
Then, officials of Yushitai, large and small, were downgraded by two ranks.
The censors were not reconciled and decided to fight Zhao Zhen to the end.
Then Zhao Zhen began to demote one day and one day.
Seeing that there are not many officials in Yushitai.
The three of Lu Yijian entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother Li to come forward to prevent Zhao Zhen from doing such a ridiculous act.
Then, Zhao Zhen, who had always been filial to the Queen Mother Li, not only did not heed the Queen Mother Li’s advice this time, but because Lu Yijian and others asked the Queen Mother Li to come forward, he was angry with the three.
Zhao Zhen did not move the three of them.
But some of the most important students of the three of them passed away and were demoted collectively.
At the same time, Zhao Zhen once again extended the time to drop out.
The three of Lu Yijian couldn't sit still at all, but they had no choice but to go to the courtyard of the Kou Mansion again.
Kou Ji didn't want to see them, but Kou Zhun let them into the house.
After the three of them entered the house, they went straight to Kou Ji's study.
Kou Ji was yawning in the study, and the three Wang Zeng broke into Kou Ji's study like robbers.
As soon as he entered the door, Wang Zeng shouted: "You still have leisure and elegance to hide in the mansion. The court is now in a mess."
Kou Ji asked knowingly: "The Privy Council is in chaos?"
Wang Zeng was taken aback and shook his head slowly.
Kou Ji said calmly: "The Privy Council is not in chaos, how could the court be in chaos?"
Wang Zeng stared and said, "But the officials of Yushitai are about to be cleaned up by the officials..."
Kou Ji yawned again and said lazily: "I am a privy envoy, and I am in charge of the Privy Council, not Yushitai. Even if the officials of Yushitai are really cleaned up by the officials, what does it have to do with me
Youdao is not in its place and does not seek its own government.
I just need to take care of my Privy Council. "
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "You are a minister of the center, how can you be divided into civil and military affairs, as long as it is something that happens in the court, you are all responsible for coming forward."
Kou Ji stared at Lu Yijian in amazement.
"Gong Lu, the central minister, there is no distinction between civil and military? Don't you blush when you say this? You are the one who yells most fiercely against the military ministers."
Lu Yijian did not see any shame on his face. He stared at Kou Ji and said cruelly: "Central ministers, should there be civil and military distinctions? Kou Ji, do you want to provoke a dispute between courts and courts?"
Kou Ji cast aside, cursing inwardly.
shameless…
"I just heard from the servants of the mansion that it was the officials who had dropped the posts of three disciples. Presumably those disciples who had been downgraded by the officials were the beloved of the three. Otherwise, the three would not feel so distressed. Three. Asking me to say that Xiang is a fake is actually afraid that the official will condemn it again, right?"
"..."
When Lu Yijian and Wang once heard this, their faces were a little ugly.
Zhang Zhibai has a calm face. Although he has some students, but he doesn't accept gifts or help them with things on weekdays, so he is not close to his own students.
Don't mention Zhao Zhen's relegation to their posts, even if they are all in one breath.
Zhang Zhibai will not feel distressed either.
Zhang Zhibai was distressed by the officials of Yushitai.
If Zhao Zhen dismissed one or two officials from Yushitai, that would be fine.
But Zhao Zhen dismissed 90% of Yushitai's officials in one go, and Yushitai was already paralyzed.
Yushitai was an important part of the imperial court.
Yushitai was paralyzed and had a great impact on the government.
So he was anxious to find Kou Ji to come forward and talk to Zhao Zhen, so that Zhao Zhen could restore Yushitai as soon as possible.
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were speechless to Kou Jizhan.
Zhang Zhibai said with a solemn expression: "Now Yushitai is paralyzed. After the reports from various inspections were delivered to the city of Bianjing, there was no one to intervene. The hundreds of officials did not have the supervision of the Yushi, and their hearts were floating.
This matter has affected the stability of Song Dynasty. "
"Hey… "
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Gong Zhang is open, I can be considerate. It's just that the official is now in anger, and it's no use admonishing anyone. The three have already persuaded, knowing that it's useless, why should I touch this? Mouldy?"
The three of Lu Yijian frowned.
Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "You have always made friends with officials..."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "I have a good relationship with the official, but if I want to talk to the official about Xiang, it depends on what matters. The official is obviously not willing to listen to me talking about Xiang, otherwise he will not declare to the public. , Said that I was forbidden to the house.
So even if I came forward to talk to an official, it wouldn't make any difference. "
"Are you going to watch the officials of Yushitai be removed and clean?"
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth.
Kou Ji sighed, "You tell the officials of Yushitai to shut up, don't touch the mold of the official family? The official family is obviously unwilling to mention the affairs of the harem, and there are still people on the Yushitai who are chasing after you. .
They are uncomfortable when they run to find the official family. The official family can make them comfortable? "
Zhang Zhibai sighed, "I want the officials of Yushitai to shut up, unless they are killed."
The implication is that it is difficult for the officials of Yushitai to shut up.
Kou Ji said: "Why don't they just stare at the harem and don't let it go. Isn't it good to play and play other things? It's not good for them, and it's not good for the court."
Lv Yijian frowned and said: "The old lady sent someone to tell the people at Yushitai to keep them from staring at the harem. But the more the old man reminds them, the more fierce they play, the old man can't help it."
Kou Ji's face became cold, "They have to find themselves uncomfortable, why are you bothering about them."
"They can stop, Yushitai can't be paralyzed..."
Zhang Zhibai solemnly said.
Zhang Zhibai is not a pedantic person. He doesn't care about the life and death of a group of officials who do not live or die. What he cares about is whether the court can function normally.
"Then you can hurry up and transfer a group of people from local inspections to make up for the vacancy of Yushitai."
"But if the officials are so rash, it will do more harm to the court."
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth.
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "You didn't ask me to come forward to intercede for the people at Yushitai. You actually want me to find a way to calm the officials, right?"
The three Wang Zeng hesitated and nodded together.
Kou Ji decisively spread his hand and said: "I can't help it..."
"Why?!"
Because Liu and his son were still alive, Liu Heng had not yet entered Beijing, and the people Zhao Zhen wanted to kill had not been finished, and the qi in his chest had not yet dispersed.
Before the people who wanted to kill were not killed, admonishing Zhao Zhen, it was of no use at all.
Although Zhao Zhen kept tossing the Yushitai, but the other yamen in the court, Zhao Zhen did not move.
For the court, Yushitai said it was important and important, and it was not important either.
Even if Yushitai was tossed out by him, Da Song wouldn't have any major problems.
Zhao Zhen only tossed on Yushitai and not other yamen, which shows that he is very sensible now.
The decision he made rationally can hardly be changed just because of whoever said a few words.
