"Since Uncle Zhong feels congenial, he will raise it. I have already said hello to Kaifeng Mansion. Someone will send his registration book to the door of Kaifeng Mansion. I told Lu Ming to build a one in Ruian Town. His house, with twenty acres of fertile land, all fell under his name."
Kou Zhong is now very old, seriously ill, and has no cure.
Now it relies on precious medicinal materials to continue his life.
No one knows when he will drive Hexi.
Since he has moved his grandson's mind and has a candidate, it is necessary for Kou Ji to arrange everything in order to avoid Kou Zhong's death while still worrying.
When Kou Zhong heard Kou Ji's words, his eyes were moved to tears.
He knows that Kou Ji is kind, and after his death, Kou Ji will never treat the teenager badly.
But even so, he was still worried for the boy.
I'm afraid that because of a natural disability, the young will be looked down upon by others and become unhappy.
He deliberately opened his mouth to ask Kou Ji to buy something for the boy, but he did not speak.
He is just a servant. After being seriously ill, Kou Ji treats him like a blood relative.
Kou Ji treated him far beyond the attitude a master should have towards his servants.
So he is not easy to speak.
But he did not expect that Kou Ji would have handled his worries properly before he could speak.
"Master..."
Kou Zhong had tears in his eyes and trembling lips, wanting to say a few words of thanks.
Kou Ji raised his hand to stop him, "The family doesn't say anything. You can't stop me from doing anything, so just don't say anything. If you want to eat or drink, send someone to tell Lu Ming.
The caravans of the mansion are now all over the Song Dynasty, even outside the Song Dynasty, there are also caravans of the mansion.
As long as you want to eat, the caravan in the house can get it back.
You can also talk to Lu Ming where you want to go for a walk.
I ordered the craftsman in the mansion to make a special Kou bus for you. Wherever you want to go, just let the servants push you there. "
"Master..."
Kou Zhong was so moved that he couldn't speak. Kou Ji took his hand and patted the back of his hand.
Although Kou Ji is not very old, he also knows that when people grow old, there will be some panic in his heart.
The panic about death.
Kou Ji couldn't turn things around and let Kou Zhong live for a long time.
So all he can give Kou Zhong is company and relief.
Kou Ji spoke with Kou Zhong for a while, until the tears from the corner of Kou Zhong's eyes stopped, and then left Kou Zhong's bedroom.
After leaving the bedroom, he asked the maids and servants in the courtyard to leave the courtyard where Kou Zhong lived.
When I returned to the backyard and just sat down, I heard a report from the door of the mansion that it was Cao Tong's visit.
Kou Ji asked him to replace Cao Dong to the main hall of the mansion.
Kou Ji entered the main hall. Without even looking at Cao Tong, he sat on the main seat of the main hall.
Seeing this, Cao Yu stared at a smiling face and said, "Fourth brother doesn't seem to want to see me?"
Kou Ji ordered the servant to serve tea, and then rolled his eyes at Cao Tong, "You run to my house over and over again, and I know what your purpose is. You know I will not agree, and you ran to my house. Bother me, I naturally don't want to see you."
When Cao Yu heard this, the smile on his face did not change at all. He smiled and said: "Obviously it is a great thing, why did the fourth brother refuse it again and again?"
"A good thing?"
Kou Ji said contemptuously: "Only you will regard it as a great thing. In my opinion, that is a performance of incompetence."
The smile on Cao Tong's face finally changed, and it became more embarrassing.
"Everyone in the world regards this matter as the supreme glory."
"That's the people of the world, not me."
Kou Ji oil and salt do not enter.
Cao Tong could only gritted his teeth and said: "This matter was decided by the official, and I am just a lobbyist. The fourth brother should understand that it is difficult to change things set by the official."
Kou Ji was annoyed, "Did it by the official? What about the imperial edict? Bring it to me."
Cao Yu smiled bitterly and said: "You have to agree to this matter first. If you don't agree, it is difficult for the official to issue the imperial decree clearly."
Kou Ji said decisively: "Then I won't agree."
"Four brothers!"
Cao Tong's voice was raised a bit.
Kou Ji said with an unusually strong attitude: "My daughter will not enter the palace, and I will not agree to it. So you don't persuade me, let alone delusional."
Cao Yu said solemnly, "Don't you think Brother Kou doesn't want Kou to have a queen?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "I don't want to!"
Cao Tong lost his temper completely.
Zhao Zhen intends to ask Kou Ji’s daughter to be a daughter-in-law, but it is not easy to talk to Kou Ji again and again, so he invited Cao Yan to come forward and talk about it. He wanted to ask Kou Ji's daughter to be a daughter-in-law.
After Cao Tong learned of this, he was naturally overjoyed.
Empress Cao gave birth to the prince, who was his nephew.
Zhao Zhen's eldest son.
Innate has already won half.
With the help of the Cao family, the position of the prince must be something in the bag.
But whether he can become the new official of the Song Dynasty, there are still variables in the middle.
The biggest variable is Kou Ji.
Today, among the courtiers in the court, only Kou Ji has the ability to control the position of the new official.
If the elder prince marries Kou Ji's daughter, the biggest variable will become the biggest help.
Kou Ji helped, even though the eldest prince was not a weapon.
Kou and Cao's family can also firmly push him to the throne.
How Kou Ji helped Zhao Zhen sit on the throne step by step, Cao Yan knew clearly.
After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the court situation he faced was very complicated and very dangerous.
Kou Ji used his own power to move the entire court.
Not only helped Zhao Zhen regain power, but also helped Zhao Zhen fight a situation where all nations came to court.
Kou Ji was able to do this when he didn't have much strength before.
Now that he holds great power, his students have gone all over the world.
He wants to support the eldest prince to the throne, is it not easy
It is precisely because of this that when Cao Yu learned that Zhao Zhen was interested in marrying Kou Ji and asked him to make peace with him, he took the trouble to start running to the courtyard of the Kou Mansion.
He didn't care even if Kou Ji was swearing at him every time.
But now he has persuaded many times, Kou Ji still refuses to let go.
He really didn't know how to persuade Kou Ji again.
Kou Ji obviously made up his mind and didn't plan to let her daughter enter the palace.
Cao Yu sighed, "Is the fourth brother not willing to give my nephew a chance?"
Kou Ji snorted and said nothing.
Cao Tong could only stand up and say goodbye.
Kou Ji did not keep him.
After Cao Yu left, Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
It's not just Zhao Zhen who is thinking about his daughters.
There are too many people in Bianjing who are worried about his daughters.
It's really a family with a hundred women.
Those in Bianjing who were thinking of his daughters did not come to the door to say kisses for a long time, because Zhao Zhen was blocking them in front.
Although Zhao Zhen did not issue a clear will to tell the world that Kou Ji's daughter-in-law is his daughter-in-law.
But there was a lot of talk to the minister of civil and military affairs in Bianjing.
Roughly telling the minister of civil and military affairs, don't think about getting married with Kou Ji, Kou Ji's son has been recruited by him as a husband, and Kou Ji's daughter-in-law is his default daughter-in-law.
Who dares to snatch his daughter-in-law from him, he will definitely make the other person regret coming to this world.
It was because Zhao Zhen revealed his tone to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, so even if the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs wanted to marry the Kou Mansion, he dared not speak.
But because they dare not speak, it doesn't mean they dare not think about it.
Kou Ji's reluctance to let her daughter enter the palace is well known.
As long as Kou Ji can carry it until the eldest prince chooses the imperial concubine, his daughters will naturally not have to enter the palace, and they will naturally be able to marry Kou Ji.
Zhao Zhen promised to be the imperial concubine, but Kou Ji did not let go.
If Zhao Zhen really asks Kou Ji's daughter to enter the palace to be his son's side concubine, do you see if Kou Ji will turn his face with him.
Therefore, as long as the concubine of the eldest son is selected, Kou Ji's daughters do not need to enter the palace.
My daughter is only a little older now, and she is stared at by so many people.
Kou Ji was naturally unhappy.
Kou Ji is not happy, so he must find someone else to be unhappy.
Kou Ji gave an order and sent people to Xiaozhu Garden to find Kou Tianci, and took Kou Tianci into the palace.
Arrived in the palace.
Kou Ji and his son were invited to the harem.
Zhao Zhen is accompanying Empress Cao and Clan Zhang to enjoy flowers in the imperial garden.
Three tiny little guys were making noises in the imperial garden, making a giggle from time to time.
Xiao Zhang's arms are still holding some babies.
In three years, apart from Xiao Zhang's addition of a daughter to Zhao Zhen, the other concubines did nothing.
For three years, Zhao Zhen has been wandering in the dormitories of Empress Cao and Zhang Clan.
The other concubines did not have the opportunity to bathe in the emperor's grace, so naturally they did nothing.
Kou Ji stepped into the imperial garden, before he rushed to Zhao Zhen to give a salute, a petite girl spotted their father and son, and then screamed and ran over.
"Puppet!"
The little girl stumbled to Kou Tianci's side and plunged into Kou Tianci's arms.
Kou Tianci looked at his father with a look of lovelessness.
Kou Ji did not see his eyes, left him, and walked to Zhao Zhen alone.
Kou Tianci lowered his head helplessly, watching Princess Baoqing holding her thigh, her mouth flashing with bright saliva.
Kou Tianci stretched out his hand and fumbled in his arms, found a sugar man, and handed it to Princess Baoqing.
Princess Baoqing got the Sugar Man, and immediately put it into her mouth, her eyes bend into crescents in an instant.
She doesn't know what the consort represents, she only knows that every time the consort enters the palace, she will bring her delicious food.
And only for her.
Her mother and concubine told her that Kou Tianci was her husband, and only belonged to her.
Then every time she saw Kou Tianci, she would call Kou Tianci as a consort.
When Princess Baoqing was licking the sugar man, Kou Tianci picked her up and walked in Zhao Zhen's direction.
Kou Ji has already taken the lead in front of Zhao Zhen.
"Chen Kou Ji, see the official house..."
Zhao Zhen did not pay attention to Kou Ji, but stared at Kou Tianci and Princess Baoqing very bitterly, and sighed: "My girl, I am so close to Tianci... I don't know whose girl will be so close to me. The emperor..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes secretly, pretending that he hadn't heard Zhao Zhen's words.
When Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji hadn't answered him, he didn't mention it again.
In his eyes, Kou Ji's daughter is already his daughter-in-law.
As long as he doesn't let go, who dares to risk offending him and marry Kou Ji's daughter
"Chen Lin, go get a stool for Kou Aiqing."
Empress Cao smiled and gave an order.
Chen Lin agreed and immediately ordered the eunuch to move stools for Kou Ji and Kou Tianci.
The reason why Empress Cao asked Chen Lin to move a stool to Kou Ji, not to Kou Ji and his son.
That's because Kou Tianci is considered a royal person, and naturally there is a stool to sit in the palace, so there is no need to talk more.
Chen Lin ordered the people to move the stool, and Kou Ji and Kou Tianci and his son sat down.
Kou Ji was talking with Zhao Zhen, while Kou Tianci held Princess Baoqing and carefully wiped the sugar stains on the corners of her mouth.
Although Kou Tianci was noisy on weekdays, he treated his younger sister and Princess Baoqing very gently and caringly.
This matter is closely related to Xiang Yan's education.
Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen talked about gossip at first, and after chatting, they got to business.
Zhao Zhen pondered and said, "My emperor is three years old, and he should have a name. I have drafted a few. Fourth brother will help me to consult."
Kou Ji arched his hands slightly: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhao Zhen thought about it and said, "Fang, Xin... There is also a Xi... What do the fourth brothers think?"
Kou Ji's mouth twitched when he heard the words.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen frowned, "Fourth brother feels wrong?"
Of course not.
In the history books, Zhao Zhen's three deceased sons were Zhao Fang, Zhao Xin, and Zhao Xi.
If Kou Ji didn't know this, he wouldn't care.
But since he knew this, he would never allow these three names to appear again.
Although he doesn't believe in those things.
But using the names of three premature deaths is a bit unlucky after all.
He didn't even think about plotting to usurp the throne, so naturally he didn't want Zhao Zhen's son, whom Zhao Zhen finally gotten to die, to die midway.
Naturally, it is impossible for Kou Ji to say this, so after pretending to think about it, he opened his mouth and said: "What do the officials think of Runzi?"
"Run?!"
Zhao Zhen looked stunned.
Kou Ji did not say what was wrong with the three names he gave his son, but he gave another name decisively.
Zhao Zhen's heart is naturally full of questions.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The emperor's status as the eldest son is prominent, and he should always have the heart to moisturize all things, so as to benefit the people of the world. If the people of the world benefit, our Song will naturally become more prosperous.
Zhao Zhen still has questions on his face.
Empress Cao said with a bright smile: "The concubine thinks that Kou Aiqing is justified."
The reason why Queen Cao agreed with Kou Ji's statement was that the name and explanation given by Kou Ji were in line with Queen Cao's wishes.
Thunder and rain are all Jun En.
To moisturize everything is to enlighten everything.
Only emperors have that qualification.
Zhao Zhen heard what Empress Cao said, thought about it a little, and looked at Kou Ji and said, "If my emperor uses your name, then you have the responsibility to teach the real emperor."
Kou Ji was a little confused.
Zhao Zhen continued: "My three emperors are almost reaching the age of entering school. I decided to set up a royal school in the palace. At that time, let a few scholars teach my emperor.
You are a bachelor of Longtouge, and you also have the responsibility to teach my emperor.
The two responsibilities are added, my emperor’s gentleman, it is you. "
Kou Ji didn't understand why Zhao Zhen suddenly wanted to set up a royal school in the palace, and he didn't think of a reason.
Considering that I have limited knowledge.
Kou Ji hurriedly evaded: "How can officials and ministers who are not very talented teach the princes and princes? Should they be taught to the princes and princes, or should they be handed over to the princes and princes."
Zhao Zhen said indifferently: "Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng are also here."
"Chen..."
Kou Ji also wanted to shirk.
Zhao Zhen interrupted his words, "I just asked you to be my emperor's husband, and I didn't make you a prince and grandmaster, so you don't have to shirk from side to side."
Just being a husband, that's okay.
Kou Ji was afraid that Zhao Zhen would later appoint him a prince and grandmaster, and then easily named the eldest prince as the prince.
Then he will most likely be tied to the elder prince.
He didn't want to bother to plan for the elder prince.
Kou Ji sighed slightly and said, "If the official is not afraid that the minister will mislead his children, then the minister should respond to this matter."
Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You became a husband for my emperor, and Zhang Zhibai also became a husband for my emperor. Apart from business affairs, I am afraid you will stay in the palace for the rest of your time. My emperor.
You and Zhang Zhibai don't have time to teach the godsend, the godsend will inevitably go to waste.
Godsend is my husband, and I don't want to see him ruined.
Let him go to the palace to study together. "
Kou Ji frowned slightly.
It is not a good job to accompany the prince to study.
To put it nicely is called Grace.
To put it bluntly, it is a beating substitute.
Kou Ji was beaten for Zhao Zhen when he was studying with Zhao Zhen.
Kou Ji is not willing to let his son be beaten for others.
Just as Kou Ji was thinking about how to avoid the matter, Zhao Zhen spoke again: "Hui'er should also be sent to the palace. Let her be a company for Shouqing and Baoqing."
Kou Ji opened his eyes for a moment.
After a long period of trouble, I said so much.
Zhao Zhen's purpose is still to miss his daughters.
Kou Ji became hot in an instant, "Officials, there are thousands of women in the world, and the prince is naturally noble. What kind of woman can't marry. Why do you just look at the minister's daughter?"
Seeing that Kou Ji had spoken, Zhao Zhen no longer concealed it.
"You also said that there are tens of thousands of women in the world, and my emperor can marry anyone. Why can't you be your daughter? Do you think my emperor is not worthy of your daughter?"
"The minister dare not!"
"Even so, why don't you promise your daughter to my emperor."
"..."
Kou Ji said frankly: "The minister hopes to find someone who treats Hui'er wholeheartedly."
Zhao Zhen questioned: "How can you be sure that my emperor can't treat Huier wholeheartedly?"
Kou Ji asked in turn, "Can he marry Hui'er for the rest of his life?"
Zhao Zhen was so speechless.
If it is someone else, Zhao Zhen will definitely rant to him without hesitation, do not do to others what he does not want.
But facing Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen couldn't say this sentence.
Because Kou Ji really managed to marry only one person.
Up to now, Kou Ji has never been outside, nor has he taken care of concubines or raised a room outside.
"Hey… "
Zhao Zhen sighed long and did not speak any more.
It is impossible for him to promise Kou Ji that the eldest son will only marry one person in his lifetime.
In case he has only one son, the eldest prince in his life.
Then the elder prince must inherit the throne.
An heir to the throne only marries one wife.
The Manchu civil and military will not agree.
Zhao Zhen, the father, would not agree.
Kou Ji saluted Zhao Zhen and said: "The minister has failed to speak, and he has asked the officials to punish him."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you don't agree to this, I won't force it."
"Thank you, the official..."
Kou Ji bowed his hand again.
What he said today can be regarded as completely stifling Zhao Zhen's request for his daughter to enter the palace as a daughter-in-law.
Zhao Zhen should not bring up this matter again in the future.
Kou Ji could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao Zhen turned his head and whispered a few words to Queen Cao.
Empress Cao took a few children, as well as Zhang Clan, and left the Imperial Garden.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were left in the Yu Garden.
"Four brother, what do you think of the people migrating to Dali now?"
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, and said, "Although I have taken Dali and re-planned Dali's territory and started to govern, I have not completely put down the small tribes in Dali. They are still working independently.
It would be feasible if we moved our troops.
But if the people are moved in the past, once there is a conflict with those small tribes, there will definitely be major losses.
And the mineral deposits in Dali have just begun to be excavated now.
Some methods that are too harsh are not suitable for the people to know.
So this matter should be slowed down. "
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Time is not waiting. The spies lurking in the Liao State from the Imperial City Department have reported that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu has been seriously ill in the past two years, and I am afraid he will die soon.
The Crown Prince of the Liao Kingdom, Yelv Zongzhen, is still young now.
It is absolutely impossible for Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to keep us to bully his son.
So when he is dying, he will definitely launch a fierce attack on my Da Song.
He wouldn't beat me Da Song back to his original form, he would never die willingly, nor would he give the throne to Yelv Zongzhen with confidence.
Therefore, there is not much time left for us.
If we no longer implement cultural innovation.
Then we can only wait until the end of the war with Liao. "
Kou Ji groaned: "Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was ill, and the minister knew about this. The minister also knew that the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would definitely launch a fierce attack on my Da Song before he died.
But this matter does not affect our cultural innovation.
For us, the longer the delay, the greater our strength.
The easier it is to innovate the cultural system. "
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "I am afraid that when the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is dying, he will squash with me to the end of the Song Dynasty. By then, we will lose both sides, and we may not have enough strength to suppress the ruling and opposition parties."
Kou Ji frowned slightly, "Then change the official system first! Others wait until after the war and then take their time. Nowadays, all parts of Dali need official governance, and there is a huge shortage of officials.
Whoever opposes us when changing the official system, then throw him to Dali and let him reason with those Wuman. "
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "Then start the reform from the official system. The minister will summon the three of Lu Yijian tomorrow to discuss the matter with them. Then, let the three of them start."
Kou Ji nodded solemnly.
