After the matter was negotiated, Zhao Zhen did not lose time, and the next day, he summoned Dali's envoy Yang Yunxian in the Suigong Hall.
Only Kou Ji, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai were accompanied. The rest of the civil and military officials were not included in this list.
Hanging on the arch hall.
After listening to Yang Yunxian's self-reporting of his family, Kou Ji was slightly surprised.
Kou Ji doesn't know much about celebrities outside of the Song Dynasty, but Yang Yunxian is just one of them.
The reason why Kou Ji knew about Yang Yunxian was that when he was looking through the history of Dali, one of the two most famous officials in Dali was Yang Yunxian.
There is another person named Gao Zhisheng, who is of the same name as him.
Yang Yunxian and Gao Zhisheng are famous because they both did a great deal.
What's the big deal
Plot to usurp the throne.
In 1044, Gao Zhisheng, the then prime minister of Dali, launched a coup d'etat, forcing Dali Tianming Emperor Duan Suxing to abdicate, and supporting Dali Xiaode Emperor Duan Silian to succeed to the throne.
After seeing Gao Zhisheng launched the coup, Yang Yunxian, unwilling to show weakness, launched the coup in 1063 AD.
In the end, Gao Zhisheng sent troops to annihilate him, and his son Yang Yizhen launched a coup in 1080 AD, killing the twelfth emperor of Dali, Duan Lianyi, and established himself as emperor, named Guang'an, and changed Yuan De'an.
Reigned for less than four months and was wiped out by Gao Zhisheng and his sons.
After Gao Zhisheng and his son suppressed Yang Yizhen, they supported the succession of Emperor Duan Shouhui, Emperor Ming of Dali.
Dali Emperor Duan Shouhui refused to follow Gao Zhisheng's father and son's mercy. After less than a year in office, Gao Zhisheng and his son forced him to become a monk.
After Gao Zhisheng and his son forced Duan Shouhui, Emperor of Dali Shangming, to become a monk, he supported the succession of Emperor Duan Zhengming, Emperor of Dali Baoding.
After Gao Zhisheng’s death, his son Gao Shengtai felt that Dali Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming was a bit annoying, so in 1094 AD, he abolished Dali Baoding Emperor Duan Zhengming, established himself as emperor, changed the country name to Great China, referred to as Dazhong, and named himself Dazhong. Emperor Zhengde of China, referred to as Emperor Zhengde, pursued his father Gao Zhi and was promoted to Emperor Wenrong Tianyou Anbang, and the temple was named Taizu.
In 1096, when Gao Shengtai died, under the influence of traditional forces and Buddhist consciousness, he entrusted his son Gao Taiming to stay in Duan Zhengchun before his death.
In 1096 AD, Dali Wending Emperor Duan Zhengchun succeeded to the throne.
For fifty-two years, the Duan clan of Dali's royal family was like a foil.
The Yang family is like a supporting role, and the Gao family is the real protagonist.
Although Yang Yunxian is only a supporting role, he dares to seek the usurpation of the throne, which shows that his ambition is not small.
Kou Ji felt that it was necessary to talk to Yang Yunxian in private.
After Yang Yunxian reported to Zhao Zhen that he was home, he ordered the people to carry all the gifts prepared by the Dali county king to the hanging arch hall in one go.
Zhao Zhen looked at the belongings and was very happy, but his face was not clear at all.
From the beginning to the end, there was a cold face, and he didn't say a word.
From beginning to end, Zhang Zhibai was negotiating with Yang Yunxian.
When Zhang Zhibai suggested that Dali still needed two million pennies of money, Yang Yunxian's expression was very ugly, but he did not say anything to refuse.
Because Zhang Zhibai told Yang Yunxian before he filed a claim for two million yuan of money. If Dali could not put out enough money to calm the anger of Song Dynasty, in addition to the 50,000 elite soldiers in Dali now, Song Dynasty would send another 100,000 soldiers. The horse rushed to help.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses broke through the four cities of Dali within two days.
With 150,000 soldiers and horses, it is estimated that the entire Jianchang Mansion can be taken within two days.
Moreover, if the Song Dynasty really sent another 100,000 soldiers and horses to join the war, then Dali would have to pay not two million guans, but probably eight million guans or even more.
In the face of Da Song's strong persecution, Yang Yunxian could not refuse.
Yang Yunxian had seen the sharpness of Da Song’s soldiers, so he knew that once Dali and Da Song started a terrifying battle, Dali would not be pleased.
After a long period of hesitation, Yang Yunxian told Zhao Zhen that he couldn't do the main thing. He needed to return to Dali and tell their emperor Duan Suxing about the matter.
Zhao Zhen ignored him.
Zhang Zhibai told Yang Yunxian that he should report back, but the time should not exceed one and a half months. After more than one and a half months, the Song Dynasty’s 100,000 soldiers will arrive in Dali.
Yang Yunxian promised the matter with full mouth, leaving a gift, and withdrew from the Chui Gong Hall.
Kou Ji smiled to Zhao Zhen after Yang Yunxian retired from the Chui Gong Hall, "The minister will take a step back..."
Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji had to leave after Yang Yunxian left. He thought about it for a moment, smiled, and said, "Fourth brother is going to talk to the Dali envoy?"
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Lu Yijian stared and questioned Kou Ji, "You don't want to sell my Da Song's arms to Dali, do you?"
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "Kou Ji, the one who is fighting Dali right now is my elite soldier of the Song Dynasty. You are selling your arms to Dali, you are gaining an enemy.
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "You two think, I will be stupid enough to ask for trouble?"
Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were speechless for a moment.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I just think Yang Yunxian is very interesting. I want to have a chat with him and see if I can rule Dali after the Song Dynasty.
Lu Yijian snorted coldly: "You are my Secret Envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, so can't you do things in an upright manner?"
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said with a curled mouth: "I want to send my 600,000 imperial army to Dali in one breath, and kill all the enemies in Dali.
But the six hundred thousand imperial troops need to go out to fight for food and clothing, can the Kokukun pay it? "
"you… "
Lu Yijian was so speechless that she could only give Kou Ji a fierce look.
"Since the national treasury refuses to bleed, and does not allow me to use those tricks and tricks, how can I make money from Dali? Waiting for Dali to take the initiative to deliver it
Kou Ji said sarcastically.
Lu Yijian's cheeks flushed with anger.
Wang Zeng stood up as a peacemaker, "Whether it is a conspiracy or an arrogance, as long as it is good for my Da Song, it is a good strategy."
"Humph… "
Under Wang Zeng's persuasion, Lu Yijian snorted and stopped talking to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't bother to talk to him either.
Kou Ji bowed to Zhao Zhen, exited the Dung Gong Hall, followed Yang Yunxian's footsteps, and chased after him.
He chased out Jinshuiqiao all the way and reached the Yujie before catching up with Yang Yunxian.
Kou Ji did not climb up to find Yang Yunxian, but ordered the groom to pass by Yang Yunxian in a carriage.
When Kou Ji's carriage passed by Yang Yunxian's side, Yang Yunxian took the initiative to get up and appeared in front of Kou Ji's carriage.
"But the Secret Envoy of Song Dynasty?"
Yang Yunxian arrived in front of Kou Ji's carriage and stopped Kou Ji's carriage with a respectful salute.
Kou Ji opened the carriage curtain and looked out, "Envoy of Dali?"
Yang Yunxian hurriedly said, "It is the foreign minister."
Kou Ji said indifferently: "You stopped my carriage, what is Yu Yi?"
Yang Yunxian hurriedly said: "The foreign minister heard that Priscilla Kou likes to make friends the most, so I want to make friends with Priscilla Kou."
"I like to make friends?"
Kou Ji pretended to be suspicious.
Yang Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, and said quickly: "I heard that Kou Mi and Qingtang and the Jiaozhi envoys are very close, so the foreign minister guessed that Kou Mi should like to make friends."
When Kou Ji heard this, he said: "I don't really like to make friends. I am close to Qingtang and the Jiaozhi envoys because they are generous enough, and I can hardly refuse them."
Yang Yunxian understood what Kou Ji meant, and immediately said: "The foreign minister will naturally not make friends empty-handed. The foreign minister has already prepared a small gift."
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction: "You friend, it's worth making friends."
Yang Yunxian was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Kou Ji continued: "Take your people and things, follow me, and let's find a place where we can talk and have a good chat."
Yang Yunxian gave a deep respect to Kou Ji, "It is better to obey your fate..."
Kou Ji told the groom to drive to the other courtyard outside the city.
Yang Yunxian ordered several guards to go to the post house to pick up gifts. He took the rest of the people and followed Kou Ji's carriage out of Bianjing.
All the way to the Kou Mansion Courtyard.
Kou Ji got out of the carriage and took Yang Yunxian to the big bamboo garden in the other courtyard.
As soon as he entered the big bamboo garden, Yang Yunxian shouted in surprise, "Bamboo bear?!"
Kou Ji kicked a little guy holding his thigh and said casually: "Children like it, so the people below will send some, you don't have to be surprised."
Yang Yunxian said in a deep voice: "As far as the foreign minister knows, this thing is not common in Bianjing."
Kou Ji glanced at Yang Yunxian and said faintly: "I have a lot of resources in the Song Dynasty, what can't you see?"
Yang Yunxian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "It was the foreign minister who made a mistake..."
Kou Ji took Yang Yunxian to the bamboo building in the big bamboo garden, and after instructing the servants of the house to drive away the roundness of the bamboo building, he sat in.
Yang Yunxian saw that Kou Ji was in the midst of a group of chubby balls, and didn't move.
There was a feeling of admiration in my heart.
In Kou Ji's eyes, Tumblr is just a pet.
But in the eyes of Yang Yunxian, it was a beast that could fight warriors.
In Dali, round and round things happen every year.
A round slap down can slap a person's leg and tear a person's arm.
Kou Ji raised a group of such beasts, and still sat among them, with no fear on his face, and he could not help but admire them.
After Kou Ji settled down, he ordered people to have a refreshment. After everything was ready, he sipped the tea and said calmly: "You suddenly came to me and you want to make friends with me, do you ask me if you have something to do?"
"Um..."
Yang Yunxian opened her mouth in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
Kou Ji said lightly: "Anyone who comes to me and wants to make friends with me always asks me. The envoy of Qingtang made friends with me for the skill of the Song Dynasty for forging arms; the envoy of Jiaozhi made friends with me. Friend, it is for the armaments of my Da Song.
You must also ask for it.
Everyone is sensible, so you don't have to sell it. "
Yang Yunxian said with an embarrassed look: "Private Kou is really..."
Kou Ji didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said indifferently: "Is it unacceptable to be straightforward?"
Yang Yunxian hesitated and nodded slowly.
Kou Ji said indifferently: "In my eyes, there is no friendship between people at all. When interacting with people, all you ask for are benefits. I have what you want, and you have what I want. , If both of us are satisfied, we exchange.
And then maintain the exchange relationship with each other, this is friends. "
After Yang Yunxian listened to Kou Ji's set of perversions, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Kou Ji squinted at Yang Yunxian, and said calmly, "Isn't what I said wrong?"
Yang Yunxian wanted to ask Kou Ji, so naturally it was impossible to speak against Kou Ji's meaning.
After he heard Kou Ji's questioning, Shenqing nodded stiffly, then echoed: "Kou Shu's secret words are reasonable..."
"hypocritical!"
Kou Ji unceremoniously criticized Yang Yunxian's voice.
Yang Yunxian immediately froze in place.
Kou Ji snorted coldly: "You obviously don't agree with what I said."
Yang Yunxian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Kou Ji said coldly: "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle is for profit. All friendships are fake and temporary, and only benefits are permanent.
You are also a person living in the court.
I can't see through this. "
Yang Yunxian pursed his mouth and said nothing.
Kou Ji continued: "After you come back to Dali, stand in the court of Dali and take a good look, and you will understand what I said. When you understand my words, when will you have the same status as me in Dali. ."
Yang Yunxian was taken aback for a moment.
Kou Ji said lightly: "Under one person, above ten thousand..."
Yang Yunxian hesitated for a moment, and gave a deep salute to Kou Ji, "Thanks to Privy Councilor Kou for your advice..."
Kou Ji waved his hand indifferently, "I think you are a Taoist, so I just mention a few words. Whether you can take advantage of this, it depends on your own savvy.
I heard that there is a person with the surname Gao in Dali, who knows this very well.
If you know him, you can ask him for advice. "
"high?!"
Yang Yunxian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Kou Shimi is talking about Gao Zhisheng?"
Kou Ji pretended to think about it, and said, "Yes... it's Gao Zhisheng..."
Yang Yunxian said solemnly: "Kou Shumi actually knows Gao Zhisheng?!"
Kou Ji glanced at Yang Yunxian and said calmly: "As the Secret Envoy of the Song Dynasty, I am in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and I am responsible for the safety of the people of the Song Dynasty. Their movements should prevent them from sitting too far and endangering me."
Yang Yunxian stared at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Shimi meant that Gao Zhisheng might harm the Song Dynasty?"
Kou Ji faintly said: "From my observation, he is a person who is unwilling to succumb to others."
Yang Yunxian's heart jumped.
Kou Ji added: "As far as I know, the Dali Yang family and the Dali Gao family are comparable in strength to the Dali royal family Duan family. The Dali Gao family's strength is faintly higher than the Dali Duan family.
With such strength, why do you want to succumb to others? "
Yang Yunxian heard the words and looked at Kou Ji's eyes with a little more vigilance. He suspected that Kou Ji was instigating the relationship between the Duan family, the Yang family, and the Gao family in Dali.
Kou Ji took a deep look at Yang Yunxian, smiled faintly, and stopped talking about this topic.
Kou Ji smiled in Yang Yunxian's wary expression: "Let's talk about it, what are you going to ask me for, what are you going to exchange for."
Yang Yunxian no longer hesitated to see that Kou Ji had said this.
Yang Yunxian solemnly said: "The foreign minister has a clan brother, who is in the Fengpa Department, and the Fengpa Department is now occupied by soldiers and horses of your country. In order to avoid any accidents to him, the foreign minister would like to ask Kou Shu to stay close. "
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then stared at Yang Yunxian with a faint smile, "Isn't the businessman who killed the four officials of Song Dynasty your clan brother?"
Yang Yunxian hurriedly shook his head and argued: "The foreign minister's clan brother is in the timber business and rarely ventures into the Song Dynasty. He went to the Fengpa Department because the leader of the Fengpa Department found some good fragrant trees."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "I will believe your words for the time being. How much do you think your brother's life is worth?"
"Twenty thousand..."
Yang Yunxian offered an offer.
Kou Ji's face was slightly cold and said: "Do you think I am a person who lacks that 20,000 talents?"
Yang Yunxian gritted his teeth and said, "How much does Priscilla Kou want?"
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "I don't even bother to open my mouth if it is less than 100,000.
Yang Yunxian's pupils shrank slightly, and he cried inwardly, with a big appetite.
Kou Ji seemed to see his thoughts, and said calmly: "I am the Secret Envoy of the Song Dynasty. I am in charge of 600,000 elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty. A little mouth can change a person's life. Do you think the person who asks me to do things Will it be less? Will the price be lower?"
When Yang Yunxian heard the words, he knew that he had lost the power and strength of the Secret Envoy of the Celestial State, and he gritted his teeth and said: "One hundred thousand guan is one hundred thousand guan."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "When you leave Bianjing, I will send someone to rush to the city where the Fengpa Department is located. When you return to the Fengpa Department, you can directly take the money and lead the people."
"Thank you Privy Councilor Kou..."
Yang Yunxian solemnly bowed.
Kou Ji waved his hand and stopped talking.
Yang Yunxian knew that Kou Ji had lost his intention to pay attention to him, so he didn't speak any more, so he sat quietly with Kou Ji and waited until the guards sent the gift to Kou's mansion before getting up and leaving.
Kou Ji did not export to stay.
He approached Yang Yunxian for the purpose of highlighting Gao Zhisheng.
See if Yang Yunxian will pinch Gao Zhisheng after returning to Dali.
If Yang Yunxian joined forces with Dali County King Duan Suzhen to pinch Gao Zhisheng, Dali might have some troubles, maybe.
Kou Ji just made a casual move.
Don't care too much.
If Yang Yunxian combined Dali County King Duan Suzhen to pinch Gao Zhisheng, it would be of great benefit to Da Song.
If you don't pinch, it will do no harm to Da Song.
After Dali's envoy Yang Yunxian left the Kou Mansion, he said goodbye to Zhao Zhen the next day and embarked on the way back.
According to the agreement, Kou Ji sent someone to the Fengpa Department of Dali to pass a word to Zhu Neng, and he paid no more attention to the matter.
Kou Ji's eyes fell on Ruisheng Garden again.
After several months of translation, Fan Zhongyan's translation of the book on food and medicine has yielded some results.
More than 300 people translated together.
More than 300 medical books have been translated.
Kou Ji sent people to the Wenchang Academy with more than 300 medical books.
After arriving in the Wenchang Academy, Kou Ji found the doctor in the Wenchang Academy.
The reason why the doctor of Wenchang Academy of Medicine was chosen instead of the imperial doctor in the palace is because the doctor of Wenchang Academy is more open-minded and more research-minded than the imperial doctor in the palace.
After entering the palace, the royal doctors of the court almost all guarded the medical skills passed down by their ancestors. They were not enterprising and had no research spirit.
On the other hand, the medical doctors in Wenchang Academy, after entering Wenchang Academy, in addition to teaching students, they have developed many prescriptions.
Even in the process of teaching students, some problems in the prescription were discovered and corrected.
Now that there is a merit to fall, Kou Ji naturally hopes to fall on the doctor of the Wenchang Academy with more research spirit.
After all, some medical techniques passed down by Da Shi still need to be verified.
If it is handed over to the royal doctors in the palace, they may not verify it.
But the medical gentlemen in Wenchang Academy will definitely verify it.
When Kou Ji arrived at the medical department of Wenchang Academy, the students were in class.
Kou Ji did not disturb them, and quietly entered the school building where the gentlemen lived.
As soon as I walked to the school building area, I smelled a strong smell of medicinal materials.
Kou Ji walked around the school building and found the person he was looking for.
A doctor with a surname of Gao in fifty years old.
Doctor Gao is the senior disciple of the nine-finger genius doctor Kou Ji invited to the Wenchang Academy before. He has been out for many years.
He not only learned all the medical techniques of Jiuzhi genius doctor, but also developed many prescriptions and medical techniques himself.
When teaching students, other gentlemen will also hide some family medical skills.
But he imparted the prescriptions and medical techniques he researched to the students without any reservation.
This alone makes it worthwhile for Kou Ji to find him.
After all, in this age of profound insights, there are very few people who can abandon their insights and spread their unique medical skills generously.
When Kou Ji approached Doctor Gao, Doctor Gao was making medicine.
"Mr. Gao… "
Kou Ji entered the school building where Dr. Gao lived and bowed slightly.
Doctor Gao ordered the medicine boy who boiled medicine to take over the errand of boiled medicine. He arranged his clothes and walked to Kou Ji to give a salute.
"Cao Min has seen Comrade Kou..."
Kou Jishi smiled and said, "You are not a grassroots. I remember that there was a problem with the decoction for treating typhoid fever introduced by the Huimin Pharmacy.
The officials appreciate your merits and give you official status. "
Doctor Gao smiled indifferently: "The Caomin didn't accept it."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, "Why not?"
Doctor Gao said frankly: "With an additional level of identity, the taste of doing things will change."
Kou Ji slowly nodded and said: "Yes... Many people were very humble before becoming an official, and after becoming an official, they were domineering; many people had countless passions and ambitions in their chests before becoming an official. Forget about it.
In order to uphold his heart, Mr. Gao gave up being an official, which is very admirable. "
Doctor Gao heard Kou Ji's words with a wry smile, "Kou Shumi has a major errand to the Caomin?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Why do you see?"
Doctor Gao said very bluntly: "In your capacity, you suddenly compliment Cao Min. There must be something to be handed over to Cao Min. And it is still a very difficult task."
Kou Ji said frankly: "There is indeed an errand for you, and it is still a beautiful job.
Doctor Gao looked unbelieving.
Kou Ji didn't say much, just ordered.
"Talking in the house..."
