It can be said that Kou Zhun is the Yushi nemesis.
From the time Kou Zhun killed Yu Shi, Yu Shi was no longer protected by special rules.
Yu Shi felt that if he contradicted Kou Zhun, it would be cold in 80%.
So he decisively counseled.
Yushi gritted his teeth and returned to Jinshuiqiao.
When Lu Yijian and others saw this, their faces were not good.
The courtiers remained silent, standing still thinking about countermeasures.
"Hahaha..."
Just when the courtiers were frowning, Zhu Neng suddenly laughed and stepped onto the Jinshui Bridge.
Then, in the stunned gaze of the courtiers, Zhu Neng walked to the other side of the bridge and bowed to Kou Zhun and Cao Wei.
Kou Zhun and Cao Wei ignored Zhu Neng, and Zhu Neng left Jinshuiqiao with a big laugh.
Upon seeing this, the courtiers looked very wonderful.
Kou Zhun and Cao Wei are obviously looking at the food.
Let people pass, not let anyone pass, there is a steelyard in my heart.
Some courtiers who were close to the Kou and Cao families, as well as the courtiers of Zhang Mei who did not serve as kings in the court hall, were naturally overjoyed.
Other courtiers who quarreled endlessly in the court for the title of king were naturally unhappy in their hearts.
The courtiers who were close to the Kou and Cao families, after Zhu Neng left the Jinshui Bridge, one by one arched their hands to Lu Yijian and others, laughed and set foot on the Jinshui Bridge, and walked away.
After they passed the Jinshui Bridge, they all saluted Kou Zhun and Cao Wei one after another.
It stands to reason that Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai are also eligible to leave.
It's just that they can't leave.
Because most of the civil servants were blocked in front of Donghua Gate.
As the leaders of the civil servants, if they leave the civil servants alone, the civil servants will no longer support them in the future, instead they will elect a new leader to replace them.
Zhang Zhibai wouldn't care about this, but Lu Yijian did.
If the civil servants dissociated themselves from him, then he could not sit down under Pingzhang, who is a scholar in the same school.
"Gong Lu, should we let the two of them mess around here?"
Someone said to Lu Yijian with an ugly expression.
Lu Yijian sighed and said, "I'll go tell them..."
Now, Lu Yijian can only come forward by himself.
Pushing others out will only be regarded as unaccountable.
Lu Yijian stepped to the head of Jinshui Bridge.
Kou Zhun and Cao Wei ignored him, nor did they stop him.
Lu Yijian bowed to Kou Zhun and Cao Wei, "The two are not resting at the house. What are you doing here?"
Kou Zhun and Cao Wei both closed their eyes and ignored Lu Yijian.
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "The actions of the two of you are improper and humiliate the national body. Please also take the overall situation first."
Kou Zhun slowly opened his eyes and sneered: "Does Lu Xiang want to talk to the old man?"
Lu Yijian said indifferently: "I didn't mean to do this. I just want to discuss the matter."
Kou Zhun snorted, "The big picture? The old man has been in charge for decades, doesn't he understand the big picture better than you? When your uncle was alive, he didn't dare to say that the old man didn't understand the big picture.
So don't talk to the old man about the overall situation.
It's really insulting to the national system and some of the ones who are not proper are the officials under your command.
Now that the old man's grandson is fighting on the border, you will stumbling him in the back.
I really annoyed him, can you afford the consequences? "
Lu Yijian sighed and said, "Can't afford it."
If Kou Ji was defeated or forced to raise troops in a hurry, few people in the Song Dynasty could afford the consequences.
Faced with this problem, Lu Yijian couldn't mess around.
Kou Zhun snorted, "Since you can't afford it, how dare you provoke him? Is it easy to be bullied by the old man's grandson? When the old man's grandson is in the court, you all look like quails.
When he is not in the court, you are jumping for joy.
Are you not afraid that he will come back to the future and ask you to settle it? "
Lu Yijian frankly said: "This matter is not my lead."
Kou Zhun asked, "Then you are not responsible?"
Lu Yijian frowned and said nothing.
As long as all the things caused by the civil servants in the court, as long as the troubles are caused, whether they are led by Lu Yijian or not, he is responsible.
He couldn't shirk it.
After being silent for a while, Lu Yijian said in a blunt tone: "The Manchu civil and military naturally have the consideration of the Manchu civil and military. Since the two have left the center, they should not intervene in the center."
Kou Zhun's face became cold, he didn't pay attention to Lu Yijian any more, but glanced at Cao Wei, and said, "Cao Wei, people don't think we are qualified to intervene in matters of the hand, what do you think?"
Cao Wei slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Yijian, and said weakly: "Lv Yijian, if you say that, I will only die in your house."
When Lu Yijian heard this, she almost didn't bite her tongue.
"What do you two want?!"
Cao Wei squinted his eyes, and said with no weight or weight: "I'm dying, I need a king to press the coffin board, otherwise, after going down, I won't have the face to see my father."
Kou Zhun said indifferently: "My Kou Mansion doesn't need Prince Wang."
Lu Yijian stared at Cao Wei, and said in a deep voice, "You must be the king after you die!"
Lv Yijian did not coax Cao Wei, and because of Cao Wei's deeds, he would inevitably become the king after his death.
The same is true for Kou Zhun.
Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian, "I can't see or touch after I die. What if you lie to me?"
Lu Yijian stared, "Can you make a king, don't you know?"
Cao Wei shook his head decisively and said: "How can I know about the dictatorship of the official Sacred Heart?"
Lu Yijian glared at Cao Wei and said in a deep voice, "Change another condition."
Cao Wei pondered for a moment, "You swear that you will fully support His Royal Highness Shou Wang's inheritance of the great unification for the rest of your life."
Lu Yijian was annoyed, "His Royal Highness Shou Wang is the official's eldest son. Even if you don't say it, we will do the same. But we can do it, but we can't swear to promise you anything.
This matter is a major matter of Sheji, how could it be so trivial. "
Cao Wei pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then I still want Prince Wang..."
Lu Yijian didn't want to talk to Cao Wei anymore.
He felt that Cao Wei was playing rogue with himself.
Lu Yijian looked at Kou Zhun, "I don't have a living king with a different surname, nor will I seal a living king with a different surname. Therefore, it's impossible for the people who live in Kou Mansion to be named.
The courtiers just said casually, if the official wanted to be sealed, the courtiers would not agree. "
Lu Yijian was telling the truth.
Because the Manchu dynasty civil and military think so.
But Kou Zhun did not approve of his words, "Although this is the case, the Manchu civil and military has played the grandson of an old man by the official family all day long, and the old man was afraid.
Lu Yijian noticed that Kou Zhun was also playing a rogue.
Cao Wei's appeal is the same as he said, and he is not hiding it.
But Kou Zhun is different.
Kou Zhun did not say clearly, but as long as it is an individual, he can guess what Kou Zhun's aspirations are.
Kou Zhun naturally knew that Song could not make a living king with a different surname.
His real appeal is to let the courtiers give up plotting for Kou Ji, give up playing Kou Ji to be the king, and give up giving Kou Ji the envoy.
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said, "I can't do the Lord, nor can I agree to your two demands."
Cao Wei closed his eyes and stopped speaking.
If you don't have to talk, then don't talk about it, just block it.
Kou Zhun glanced at Lu Yijian and said, "If you say that, the old man will most likely die in your house."
Lu Yi simply stomped his feet angrily.
"I'll ask the official to be fair!"
Lu Yijian had nothing to do with Cao Wei and Kou, so she could only ask Zhao Zhen to open up these two great gods.
Lu Yijian hummed back to the other side of Jinshuiqiao, and shouted to the courtiers, "I will go to meet the officials..."
After saying this, Lu Yijian rolled his sleeve and entered Donghuamen.
Through the palace all the way through the palace, Zhao Zhen was finally found in the Imperial Garden.
Zhao Zhen was in the imperial garden, playing with his children.
But Lu Yijian couldn't get in.
Because Chen Lin stood at the gate of Yuhuayuan with a dead face.
"Hurry up and report to the official, so I told Lu Yijian to see me."
Lu Yijian saw Chen Lin and gave unceremonious orders.
Chen Lin said neither lightly nor severely: "The official said he was ill, and he didn't see anyone today."
Lv Yijian gritted his teeth and said, "Does the official know about Kou Zhun and Cao Wei's actions to block the door in front of Donghua Gate?"
Chen Lin pretended to be surprised, "Gong Kou and Gong Cao blocked the Donghua Gate?"
Lu Yijian glared at Chen Lin.
You pretend, you re pretend.
How could the people in the palace not know that such a big thing happened at the gate of the palace.
Lu Yi knew Chen Lin was lying, but had to cooperate with him in acting. He said solemnly: "Yes, Kou Zhun and Cao Wei are now blocking the Donghua Gate, preventing the courtiers from going out.
This move is suspected of causing chaos and chaos, and requires official decision. "
Chen Lin said with a serious expression, "Lu Xiang is here to wait a moment, and the slave and maid will go to the official."
After saying this, Chen Lin left Lu Yijian and hurried into the Imperial Garden.
Not long after, Chen Lin appeared at the gate of Yuhuayuan.
Lu Yijian hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What did the officials say?"
Chen Lin said frankly: "Officials said that Gong Kou and Gong Cao were ministers of the court's humerus. They have always understood the general situation. After leaving the center, they have not rarely contributed to the court.
Now that Donghua Gate is blocked, I must have been wronged.
The officials also said that Gong Kou and Gong Cao had made great contributions to me in the Song Dynasty. Now that they have retired, they should live in peace and stability. If someone makes them feel wronged, you can take care of it, and don't let the hero chill. "
When Lu Yijian heard this, the anger in her heart didn't come out.
Zhao Zhenming knew what Kou Zhun and Cao Wei were blocking the Donghua Gate for, and now he still speaks to Cao Wei and Kou Zhun.
It's fine for Zhao Zhen to pull the side, with the credit of those two people, it is worthy of Zhao Zhen to pull the side.
But Zhao Zhen shouldn't indulge the two old guys to fool around.
Lu Yijian shouted: "I want to see the official!"
Chen Lin sighed and said, "Lv Xiang, don't embarrass the officials. Those two are blocking the Donghua Gate, and you can't ask them to leave. Do you think the officials can ask them to leave?"
Lu Yijian asked, "Should they be allowed to mess around?"
Chen Lin coughed lightly and said: "The official words: I can't beat them, nor can I scold them, and they won't care about dismissal or resignation.
I can't do anything with them, but I have to be polite to them.
You should solve the troubles that you have caused by yourself, and don't bother me. "
Lu Yijian said solemnly: "The official family is the monarch, and they are the ministers. When the official family comes, they still dare to continue to make mischief?"
Chen Lin stared at Lv Yijian quietly and said: "The official said, Cao Wei now wants to find someone, and then dies in that person's arms. If Cao Wei died in his arms, then he might have to bear the burden of a faint king. reputation.
As his courtiers, do you want to look at his reputation as a king on his back? "
Lu Yijian was speechless for a moment.
To trap the king in unrighteousness is not done by good officials.
Zhao Zhen said this, but he really couldn't refute it.
Lu Yijian took a deep breath and said, "I don't embarrass the officials, I just want to see the officials."
Chen Lin glanced at Lu Yijian deeply, and said, "The slave and maidservant will report again."
Chen Lin bowed slightly and entered the Imperial Garden again.
Not long after, a young eunuch came out to spread a message and invited Lu Yijian in.
Lv Yijian entered the imperial garden under the guidance of the eunuch.
Zhao Zhen was sitting in the corridor beside the pond of the Royal Garden, accompanied by his new favorite He Meiren.
He Meiren's appearance is excellent, almost the sixth house of Yanguan.
If it weren't for the favored concubines such as Empress Cao to give birth now, I am afraid they would have a battle with He Meiren.
Although Zhao Zhen is an emperor, he is also a common man.
Facing He Meiren's beauty, there is not much resistance.
He knew that He Meiren had bad intentions in entering the palace, but he still chose to spoil He Meiren, and he was very kind to her.
When Lu Yijian arrived by the pond, Zhao Zhen was holding He Meiren by the hand, explaining to her the interesting things he encountered during the expedition.
He Meiren listened patiently to Zhao Zhen's narration, and occasionally praised Zhao Zhen with a sentence or two, which caused Zhao Zhen to laugh.
He Meiren looked calm and elegant, and when she praised Zhao Zhen, she looked frank and sincere.
It is difficult for Zhao Zhen to resist her praise.
"Guardian Lu Yijian, see the official house, I have seen He Meiren..."
Lu Yijian said loudly when he got to the pond.
Zhao Zhen heard Lu Yijian's voice and instantly lost the thought of smiling. He put away the smile on his face, took He Meiren to sit down, and faintly declared, "Come in and talk..."
Lu Yijian entered the corridor.
Zhao Zhen asked indifferently: "Aiqing came to see me, but want me to come forward to persuade Gong Gong and Cao Wei?"
Lu Yijian said solemnly: "Since the official has said it, there is no way to come forward to persuade, the minister naturally dare not force it. The minister is just a little confused in his heart and asks the official for advice."
Zhao Zhen nodded and told Chen Lin: "Give a seat..."
Chen Lin took a seat to Lu Yijian.
After Lu Yijian sat down, Zhao Zhen asked, "What is the confusion about Aiqing?"
Lu Yijian stared at Zhao Zhen and said with a serious face: "Does the official family really want to be crowned king?"
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes..."
Lu Yijian continued to ask: "The living king of another surname?!"
Zhao Zhen nodded again, but said nothing.
Lu Yijian said with a heavy tone: "The officials should understand what the living king of the different surname means to me. To be honest, the minister is not disgusted with Cao Wei's title of king.
Because of Cao Wei's achievements, he should indeed be crowned king.
However, that would have to wait for Cao Wei to die.
Cao Wei is alive and cannot be crowned king.
This case cannot be opened.
Once the precedent is set, I am afraid that Cao Wei will not be the only one with the different surname of Da Song.
Kou Ji's credit is no less than that of Cao Wei, and even faintly surpasses Cao Wei a bit.
If Cao Wei was named a king with a different surname, should Kou Ji also be named a king
Kou Ji is just a year of standing.
If he is a king, there are too many things he can do.
The impact is too great.
It’s not good for me.
In addition, Chong Shiheng, Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang, Di Qing and others are still fighting on the border.
If they make another world-famous feat, will the officials also give them kings
Chen Yaozi was seeking the territory of Qingtang for the official family, and Yang Wenguang had helped the official family get back the Southwest Road and Northwest Road of Liao, and their contributions were not small.
Does the official family have to give them kings
If the officials make an exception to grant kings to all of them, the military officials will see the opportunity in the future, and they will rush to win the king.
If things go on like this, we, Da Song, may fall into a state of military rebellion.
In addition, after the crown prince ascends the throne, will he be able to suppress the kings
If I can't hold back the kings, where should I go? "
Lu Yijian’s words come from the heart and soul.
He didn't have prejudices against anyone, but was making a living king of a different surname, which was indeed a great harm to Song Dynasty.
So he had to stop it.
After listening to Lu Yijian's words, Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Their contributions are not small, and they have reached the point where they are indefinite.
They fought for me, and it is impossible for me not to be rewarded.
If I don't reward, even if they didn't complain, the soldiers below would still complain.
Now my Great Song Bingfeng can sweep Siyi, and vice versa.
So I must reward them.
And I can give them only Wang Jue. "
When Lu Yijian heard this, his brows almost frowned, "The officials can distribute their credit to their children. In the past, the court did this."
Zhao Zhen said quietly: "Their contribution is not small. If I want to distribute the money to their children, I'm afraid I will have a group of dukes.
At that time, they can have three or five dukes.
Its power is bound to far exceed the sum of the previous emperor's relatives and generals.
When the time comes, who can hold them down
It is far better to speak alone than two people.
You, as a scholar in the same school, should understand. "
Lu Yijian gritted her teeth and whispered: "If it doesn't work... just..."
Lu Yijian didn't say everything completely.
But Zhao Zhen understood what he meant.
Zhao Zhen categorically told Lu Yijian, "I can't do what Taizu didn't do. If I did it, it would be tantamount to hurt Taizu's face.
If Taizu loses face, what face does Da Song have? "
Lu Yijian couldn't say anything to refute Zhao Zhen, nor could he come up with a perfect idea, so she could only cry sadly: "Officials, if this precedent is set, it will do me great harm to the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I will try to handle this matter properly."
Lu Yijian sighed.
Zhao Zhen continued: "You should go down and talk to Kou Gong and Cao Wei, let them leave Donghua Gate first."
Lu Yijian got up and bowed to Zhao Zhen, without saying a word, leaving the Imperial Garden with his head down.
After Lu Yijian left, Zhao Zhen chatted with He Meiren for a while, and then left the Royal Garden because he had official duties to deal with.
All the way to Shishitang.
Chen Lin couldn't help asking: "Why don't the officials tell Lu Yijian their true thoughts?"
Zhao Zhen sat on the seat of Shishitang and shook his head and said: "I can't say it yet. If I say it now, some people will think about it. I may not be able to get what I want.
I just want all of them to make trouble for the king.
When they have enough trouble, I will take advantage of the trend to grant the king.
When I sealed the king, the courtiers in the court who opposed the king would surely hold back a sigh of grievance in their hearts.
At that time they knew that I would squeeze kings of different surnames into remote areas.
They will definitely support me with all my strength and let me squeeze the king of the different surname into the poor countryside.
It will be difficult for kings of different surnames to think about going to the poor and remote areas.
The purpose of my move is to weaken the resistance of those kings of different surnames.
It is not that you have to seek the opinions of courtiers before you dare to be crowned king.
I chose poor villages for them, which is not a good place to go.
When they know the place I have chosen for them, they will definitely be dissatisfied.
They have soldiers in their hands, so I must use the civil and military in the court to suppress them and keep them from chaos. "
Chen Lin suddenly realized that she nodded her head.
Zhao Zhen continued: "Actually, they are loyal to me. Even if I really want to squeeze them into a poor country, they will not resist.
But things are impermanent, and I have to keep a hand just in case. "
When Chen Lin heard this, she praised: "The official sage... It’s just that the servants don’t understand, why are the officials so eager to be crowned king? The official can wait for their class to return to the court and take back their soldiers and horses , And after digesting the soldiers and horses in their hands, it will not be too late to be crowned king."
Zhao Zhen sighed, "The time is too long, I can afford to wait, the people of the world can't afford it. The reason why I am eager to seal them out is to take the opportunity to seal them, their people, and their confidants. All sent to Da Song.
After they leave Da Song, I will do other things, it will be much easier. "
When Chen Lin heard Zhao Zhen's words, she fell into deep thought.
He thought about it for a long time, and felt that Zhao Zhen's move should be preparing for the complete reform of the cultural system.
Although all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are in the hands of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, other people also have a lot of influence on the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
If Zhao Zhen keeps them in the Song Dynasty and promotes cultural reform under their noses, they will easily antagonize Zhao Zhen under the influence of family members, clansmen, old friends, tribes, old tribes, etc.
And they can influence soldiers and horses.
Zhao Zhen will inevitably be restrained.
If you move them all out of the Song Dynasty.
When Zhao Zhen's writing system is reformed, it will be much easier.
All the influential generals of Song Dynasty were moved out by Zhao Zhen.
Some people want to use the military to fight against Zhao Zhen, it is very unlikely.
When the cultural system was innovated, Zhao Zhen didn't need to worry about mutiny.
And Zhao Zhen himself held the army in his hand, so he was in control of the absolute initiative.
Someone contradicts him. When he needs to kill someone, he doesn't need to be soft-handed, and he doesn't need to worry about any major turmoil caused by this action.
In this way, cultural innovation will become easier.
In addition, almost all those who have great influence in the military today are big and powerful.
If Zhao Zhen grants them a king, let them move out.
Then they will free up a large amount of family business for Zhao Zhen.
For example, real estate such as fertile fields, large houses, and shops.
Since Zhao Zhen gave them the king, he also gave them a fief, letting them be kings of vassals.
Then take advantage of their real estate, without spending a penny.
With the support of their real estate, Zhao Zhen will have a good start when the cultural system is reformed.
Take Cao's family.
If Zhao Zhen named Cao Wei the king, and chose a place for the Cao family to move out.
So the real estate that the Cao family can leave to Zhao Zhen is half a real estate, plus 350,000 acres of fertile land outside the city of Bianjing, as well as mansions and shops worth tens of millions in the city of Bianjing.
In addition, there is also the huge industry of the Cao family all over the Song Dynasty.
In this regard, the Cao family will never bargain with Zhao Zhen.
After all, what Zhao Zhen gave them was a vassal state.
It is nothing at all to exchange a vassal state for some industries.
With these industries, Zhao Zhen can at least allow nearly 600,000 to 700,000 people to escape from the abject poor class when the cultural system is reformed.
When relocating these abjectly poor people, they can also take advantage of the trend to put pressure on the rich and powerful people they have seceded from, and squeeze more land from them.
When the wealthy are weakened, the common people can quickly get intuitive benefits.
The people will naturally support him, support his decree, join hands with him, and oppose the wealthy.
As a result, the pressure required for cultural innovation will also be drastically reduced.
