It seems that Cao takes advantage of this kind of person who has controlled great power, and always likes to plan something for his children and grandchildren when he is in power.
Now that Cao took control of Jiaozhi, seeing that Kou Ji had no plans for Jiaozhi, he wondered if he could use Jiaozhi as a Cao family's private land and let the Cao family inherit from generation to generation.
He proposed to Kou Hui for his grandson, in order to use Kou Hui to bring those guards who really hold the power of the Jiaozhi soldiers into the Cao family, making the Cao family’s power in Jiaozhi completely monolithic. .
Then, through Kou Ji's status in Da Song, he helped him speak a little bit, and thoroughly implemented the Cao family's control of Jiaozhi.
Let Jiaozhi completely become Cao's private land.
However, in Kou Ji's plan, Jiao Zhi must be attributed to the rule of the Song Dynasty.
Because the Song Dynasty has been in a state of food shortage since the founding of the country.
The rice of Jiaozhi can be cooked twice a year or three times a year.
If it were handed over to the people of Song Qinken for farming, the annual grain output would be a huge number.
If Da Song had those grain supplements, he would make up for this shortcoming.
At that time, Da Song's politics, economy, and people's livelihood will be greatly improved.
Therefore, Jiao Zhi is very important to the Song Dynasty.
It is impossible for Kou Ji to make Jiaozhi a private place for the Cao family.
So it is impossible for him to promise Cao to take advantage.
After listening to Kou Ji's analysis, Liu Heng nodded in agreement, "Cao's use of mind is too obvious."
Kou Ji smiled calmly: "Perhaps he is just a temptation, and the temptation fails, he may have other ways."
Liu Heng raised his brows, "What do you mean?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The person I arranged for Jiaozhi sent me news that Cao had secretly sent a soldier and horse to sea while sending troops and horses to aid the Song Dynasty."
Liu Heng was taken aback for a moment.
Kou Ji continued with a smile: "At the Jiaozhi Seaside to the south, there is a huge island, just like the country of Japan.
Cao used secretly to send someone to conquer that island.
If I didn't expect it to be bad, it would be his back.
If he can't get Jiaozhi, he will definitely move part of his children and grandchildren, as well as the soldiers and horses in his hand, to seal the borders overseas, occupy the mountains and become kings. "
Liu Heng said with emotion: "Cao's use is really a good calculation."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I just saved his life. He has been helping me for more than ten years, which is enough. Besides, he intends to leave his life to me and make some small actions behind his back, as long as it doesn't cause me a big Song I can pretend not to see any harm."
"Leave your life to you?"
Liu Heng was stunned.
Kou Ji nodded and said: "He will send his children and grandchildren to leave Jiaozhi, as well as some soldiers and horses. But he will never leave, unless I nod to let him leave."
Liu Heng thought about it and said, "It's like his style."
Speaking of this, Liu Heng said unexpectedly: "You actually let Cao use it to go overseas to crack the soil to seal the king. I knew this a long time ago. We occupied a place overseas and cracked the soil to seal the king."
Kou Jishi smiled and said, "If you really want to have this, then you go."
Liu Heng said in disbelief: "This move is betraying the Song Dynasty. Didn't you hate traitors the most before?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "Now and then. Now my Great Song Dynasty has a strong army. After taking the Liao Kingdom, Qingtang, Jiaozhi and other places, the territory has basically reached its limit.
If you go further out, you can't control it, which will increase your consumption.
Rather than that, it's better to let our people go out and take it.
It is better to be cheaper for our own people than for others.
Later, there was a problem within Da Song, and the neighbors were all his own, so it was good to have a caregiver. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng with a smile: "You tell me, I have told Zhang Yuan before that if he intends to lay a foundation, he will go west with all his strength and go to the west to toss casually.
I have given him enough authority, and also given him enough autonomy. "
Liu Heng took a deep breath and said, "It's kind of incredible..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "There is nothing incredible. Whether it is Zhang Yuan or Cao, I raised it to help the rise of Song Dynasty.
Now that the Great Song Dynasty has risen, there is no need for them to stay.
I'm not the kind of person who kills donkeys.
I also don't want their descendants to stare at Da Song.
Then they can only let them go outside the territory to crack the soil and seal the king. "
Kou Ji put his arms on the back of his head freely, and said with a smile: "Think about it, thousands of years later, all the rulers on this land will have the same skin color as ours and the same hair color as ours. , The same eyes as ours.
Wherever we have been, we have all said the same thing.
Isn't it beautiful? "
Liu Heng lay beside Kou Ji, his eyes slightly blurred and said: "When the time comes, when you arrive in the country of Japan, you don’t have to learn the Japanese language any more. Learn big food talk...
It's really good...
If future generations of children and grandchildren emulate you and me and fight in all directions, they won’t be stumped by the local dialect...
The two people looked forward to and yearned, and fell asleep in a daze.
Although both of them are clear about their vision, they may not see it until death.
But people always have to look forward, they can't achieve it, and future generations will help to achieve it.
The two fell on the ground in a daze and slept all night.
Early the next morning.
After getting up.
I rinsed briefly and had breakfast.
Kou Ji sent people to summon Zhong Shiheng, and the three of them sat together and chatted about the subsequent military affairs.
The number of troops in Gubeikou is not small, and the Japanese army led by Liu Heng and the Jiaozhi soldiers dispatched by Cao are even more powerful.
Zhong Shiheng had some new ideas and discussed with Kou Ji and Liu Heng.
Most of the time, Shiheng and Liu Heng communicated with Liu Heng, but Kou Ji rarely participated.
Zhong Shiheng and Liu Heng discussed a relatively proper offensive defense method.
Then began to apply it to the battlefield.
Some days later.
The three of them were in Gubeikou, scanning the small groups of murderers while waiting for the big group of murderers to approach.
During the period, Kou Ji and Liu Heng often got together to tell each other about the experiences and past of the two people over the years.
A few days passed in a flash.
The three people didn't wait for the big culprits to appear, but instead waited for a rumor that made everyone unable to sit still.
"The official family is going to be a king? A living king with a different surname?! I heard that there is a fief?"
Gubeikou.
Kou Ji is busy roasting a young cow.
Zhong Shiheng rushed into the courtyard where Kou Ji lived, chasing Kou Ji in disbelief.
Kou Ji brushed oil on the cow while looking at Zhong Shiheng with a weird look, "Do you miss a woman?"
Zhong Shiheng stared, and said loudly: "What do you think of women? I am not the ones who are in the hall. If I don't eat meat for a few months, I won't be hungry."
Kou Ji nodded and asked again: "Then why do you have hallucinations?"
Chong Shiheng hurriedly said: "What I said is true, the official is going to be a king, or a king with a different surname, and return the fief.
Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng, and didn't bother to talk to him again.
Seeing that Kou Ji ignored him, Zhong Shiheng became even more anxious, yelling: "Why don't you believe me. Do you think I am the kind of talker?"
Kou Ji took a knife, scratched the beef, and said, "I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it a bit."
Shi Heng stared straight, "What I said is true."
Kou Ji did not speak again, nor did he talk to Shiheng.
Seeing this, Zhong Shiheng stopped Kou Ji who was going to fetch salt.
Kou Ji lowered his hands and stared at Chong Shiheng in front of him, "Choose a king? Do you think it's possible? I don't seal a living king with a different surname. It is almost the ancestral system set by the three dynasties of Taizu, Taizong, and Zhenzong.
Today, this ancestral system is known to all the people.
Even if the official wanted to be crowned king, he still had to ask the Manchu civil and military to answer. "
Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng almost said without hesitation: "The military ministers will definitely agree."
The reason why Zhong Shiheng is so sure is because the great Song Wuchen has done a lot now.
If Zhao Zhen was appointed king, it is very likely that he would reward those military ministers with outstanding military merits.
Once a living king with a different surname appeared among the military ministers.
It will be of great benefit to the status of the military minister and the promotion of the military minister in the future.
So Takeshi will definitely agree.
More importantly, the military ministers who remain in the court today are not the subordinates of those who are fighting abroad, or their old age.
Zhao Zhen wants to be crowned king, and these people who have made great contributions to the country have the greatest chance.
Their subordinates and old days have no reason to stop.
Therefore, Chong Shiheng dared to say this decisively.
Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng, "What if the military ministers can promise, the civil servants will not, and if there is a fief, the remaining royal family will not agree."
It is impossible for the official family to hold the king against the civil servants and the remaining royal families, right? "
Zhong Shiheng hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "But it is rumored that there are noses and eyes. Rumors say that the official has ordered people to discuss the title of Lord Cao Wei."
After a pause, Zhong Shiheng added, "There is still a fief."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Aside from the officials, who is eligible to negotiate the title of the king? If the official is really going to be a king, that is also the dictatorship of the Sacred Heart. If you decide on the title of the king, how can you let others? People deliberate.
Even if the officials really need someone to discuss it, I will definitely be the first to be found.
Now I haven't heard the least bit of news, and it can be seen that the rumors are just rumors.
As for the fief, it is nonsense.
Unless the official is crazy, otherwise it is impossible to let a group of warriors who can conquer the battle to become the king of vassal. "
If it's just a rumor of a king, Kou Ji might believe it a little bit.
But if you add the word'Fengdi', then Kou Ji is a punctuation mark and won't believe it.
The enfeoffment system, things that were thousands of years ago, have long been eliminated.
How can it be revived.
Zhao Zhen is not a madman, so how could he drive the reverse of history.
Only a madman like Yuan can overthrow a system and restore the old system after a new system is established.
Zhao Zhen is obviously not that kind of madman.
If he was that kind of madman, Da Song wouldn't have what it is today.
When Zhong Shiheng heard Kou Ji's words, he said unwillingly: "I heard that the wind came from the palace, and I heard that it was the official muttering."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes again, "Just now you said that the official invited someone to discuss the king's title, but now you say that the official muttered blindly.
There are obvious contradictions.
So can the rumors still be believed? "
Zhong Shiheng's face turned into a sauce purple in an instant.
Kou Ji continued: "Even if the official muttered privately, what about it? Cao Wei did not seal the king, if I did not seal the king, the official would give you the king? Do you think your surname is Zhao
Fight your battle well and don't daydream all day long.
It is impossible for me to give a different surname to Wang.
Even if the official is confused and really wants to be sealed, I will not agree. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji stared at Chong Shiheng and said: "You are also a scholar, and you should understand how much harm the existence of a king with a different surname will bring to Song Dynasty.
So you should be more aware that it is impossible for an official to give a different surname to the king.
If he really dare to start this, his later generations who are not useful descendants will be able to make the king noble all over the place. "
Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng said unwillingly: "I am a scholar, but I am also a military minister. As long as it is a military minister, few people can refuse Wang Jue's affair."
Kou Ji sneered and said: "If the official really grants you a kingship. You are in two situations. One is that you will sit and wait for death after you get the edict of the king's canonization.
The other is to follow the example of Li Jing of the former Tang Dynasty, who can't do anything and dare not say anything.
When you sleep, you have to sleep in the yard, and you have to open the door so that everyone can look at you. "
When Zhong Shiheng heard this, he understood in his heart that the rumor of the king was just a rumor, and it was impossible to realize it, but he still said stiffly: "Even if I am Li Jing, I am willing."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "You are great. When I step down as privy envoy, I will ask the official to grant you a king. I will see if you want it or not."
Zhong Shiheng was a little bit speechless for a moment.
If Kou Ji resigns as privy envoy, he is the most likely person to make up for the privy envoy.
When Kou Ji asked Zhao Zhen to make him a king, then he could no longer serve as privy envoy.
But the king of the Song Dynasty is really not as powerful and high in status as the Secret Envoy of the Song Dynasty.
A mascot with a resounding name, and a big boss with real power in one hand and one with more than ten thousand people.
Everyone knows how to choose.
Obviously, if Kou Jizhen resigned as privy envoy and asked Zhao Zhen to give Chong Shiheng the title of king, Chong Shiheng would have to cry to death.
Zhong Shiheng was so speechless that he could only drop a word and ran away from the yard dingy.
"When I never came..."
After Chong Shiheng left, Kou Ji shook his head and muttered to himself in a low voice, "I'm probably tired after fighting for more than half a year. Such flawed rumors can deceive him. It seems that he needs a rest. .
After the class teacher returns to the court, I will find an opportunity to give him a few months off. "
Kou Ji murmured and continued to roast his own beef.
It's just that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind keeps going.
Not long after Chong Shiheng left, Liu Heng rushed into the yard where Kou Ji was, shouting, "Fourth brother, the official family is about to grant you a king. The kind with a fief..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Gou Ri's shouting so loudly is because he didn't want to die fast enough.
Now he is in charge of the full seal of the Imperial Army and is on the border again.
Liu Heng yelled so loudly, if it were passed back to Bianjing City, it would surely attract countless people's reverie.
Some people would suspect that Kou Ji has self-respect.
Some people will also question whether Kou Ji used his hand to hold a heavy soldier to force Zhao Zhen to make him a king.
If Zhao Zhen and the Manchu dynasty civil servants recognized these two fantasies, the greatest possibility would be to immediately issue an edict to make Kou Ji the king.
After all, Kou Ji now holds a heavy army and sits in the border area, and the border area has serious harm, so Zhao Zhen and the Manchu Civil and Martial Association chose to first give Kou Ji the title of king for comfort.
After Kou Ji dealt with the serious harm, after the class teacher returned to the court, it was the time when he and his family were killed.
Therefore, after Kou Ji heard Liu Heng's yelling, he was one of the first two big ones.
"Can you stop yelling, you think I didn't die fast enough?"
Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng said seriously: "I didn't rant, the news came from the Bianjing city. It is said that after the class teacher returned to the court, the official asked at a great court meeting how to reward Cao Wei.
Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, someone proposed to give Cao Wei the title of king.
The official said that Cao Weifu and Yanyun had merit, and he could think about it.
The civil and military of the Manchu dynasty are all deep-fried now.
Nowadays, there are two factions of civil and military forces in the Manchu dynasty.
Just when the civil and military manchuria were about to quarrel with the dog's head.
Someone proposed to give you a king.
The officials did not speak, but 80 people in the civil and military Manchu dynasty expressed their approval. "
Kou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, stared at Liu Heng for a long time, shook his head and said: "Where did you hear the rumors, the more they spread, the more outrageous.
How could an official agree to make a different surname Wang.
In addition, the officials agreed to give Cao Wei the title of king, but half of the people in the Manchu dynasty did not agree.
Someone asked me to make me a king, and there were 80 people in the Manchu dynasty who agreed with it.
Do they think that my authority is not strong enough, or do they want to put me on the fire
If something like this really happened, my grandfather would have been in the court for a long time, and he could still let this kind of news spread. "
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and said earnestly: "Four brother, don't believe me, what I said, but the people who came from Bianjing told me."
Kou Ji stared at him and said, "All official documents, large and small, coming from Bianjing City must be delivered to me first and read by me. Can you still be more proficient in news than I am?"
Seeing that Kou Ji still didn't believe him, Liu Heng could only tell the truth, "Those who I stayed in Bianjing City, after learning that I returned to the gate, Xingye felt this place.
This is what they told me. Do you think they will lie to me? "
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Is that the few guys you left to protect Liu Boxu?"
Liu Heng nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji groaned: "They handed over their lives to you, so naturally they won't lie to you. In this way, the title of the king is not groundless?"
Liu Heng nodded again.
Kou Ji's face sank slightly, "If everything that happened in Chaotang is like what you said, it won't be good."
Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and said, "How did my grandfather and Cao Wei react when they learned about this?"
Liu Heng shook his head and said, "Looks like there is no..."
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Impossible... Cao Wei is about to die. Someone is blocking him from becoming a king. If he doesn't make a big fuss, he will not be called Cao Wei.
After all, with Cao Wei's body and bones, even if he was a living king with a different surname, he would not be a threat to the court.
And I'm in the prime of life, and now being crowned king is tantamount to breaking the official career.
The officials and I still have a lot to do.
It is impossible for the officials to promise me a king.
My grandfather also counted on me to be like him, in charge of the court.
If he is now a king, he will be completely nailed to the rank of military officials.
If he knows about this, he still doesn't rush to the court and slap those nonsense courtiers in the face? "
Liu Heng thought for a moment, and said, "It's probably my people who came in a hurry. I didn't see the reaction of Kou Gong and Cao Gong."
Kou Ji frowned slightly, "No...My Da Song did not seal the living king of a different surname. It is a three-generation ancestral system and cannot be broken.
The Manchu dynasty civil servants made a fuss about the prince, I am afraid there is another picture. "
Kou Jisi thought about this, his face turned dark and said: "Is there a dog who wants to harm me? You want to put me on the fire?"
When Liu Heng heard this, he thought about it and said: "At first I heard this, I was really happy for the fourth brother. But now after listening to the fourth brother's analysis, I think what the fourth brother said is reasonable.
It is possible that the villain took the opportunity to harm you.
You made great contributions to the two battles in Hexi and Yanyun Sixteen States.
Someone took the opportunity to let the official family make you king. It is very likely that they wanted to remind the official family to remind the civil and military of the Manchu that you have reached the point where you have reached the point where you have the power to overpower the master. "
Kou Ji frowned and said: "There is no need to discuss this matter. Go down to block the news and stop spreading the news. I will write to people to send them back to Bianjing City to ask what the situation is."
"What if someone really framed you?"
Liu Heng questioned.
Kou Ji sneered, "Then when my class teacher returns to the court, I will personally go to his house and kill him. With my credit, if the merits and demerits are equal to each other, there should be no harm in killing one."
Liu Heng heard this and solemnly said: "Remember to take me with you when you come."
Kou Ji nodded solemnly.
Just when Kou Ji and Liu Heng were guessing about the king.
Bianjingcheng.
Cao Wei sat on a magnificent sedan chair, which was carried on the mountainside where the Wenchang Academy was located.
It wasn't until Kou Zhun's residence that he stopped slowly.
Kou Zhun was fertilizing the flowers and plants in the flower garden. After seeing Cao Wei sitting on the sedan chair, he frowned and shouted: "The old man thought you would die in the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, and the body would smell bad when you came back.
But I didn't expect you to come back alive, and you made such a big noise after you came back.
Now the people in Bianjing City say that you Cao Wei's contribution is greater than all the military ministers before the Song Dynasty, and the court should make you a living king with a different surname.
Zi Zi Zi... The living king of a different surname is so majestic. "
Cao Wei opened the sedan curtain, barely squeezing a smile on his face, and said feebly: "My credit is a fart, and it's more than a little bit worse than your grandson.
Nowadays, the government and the opposition are not officials under your Kou family, but 80% of them agree to grant him kingship.
I barely managed to make it only 50%.
How can it be compared. "
Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "I don't feel good about it. When Kid Kou comes back, I will definitely clean them up."
Speaking of this, Kou Zhun glared at Cao Wei and questioned: "You came to the old man to do something, because you think you are dying, and want the old man to write you an elegiac couplet?"
Cao Wei stared at Kou Zhun and said in a low voice: "Kou Gong can still remember the appointment I made with Kou Gong when I left Beijing?"
Kou Zhun was taken aback, "Blocking the door?!"
Cao Wei nodded, "You and I will go to block the door together, just block the Donghua Gate where the courtiers go up and down."
The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth rose slightly, and he laughed: "They make us unhappy, and we make them unhappy too!"
"Not bad..."
