"Do you know something?!"
Through Chen Lin's words, Lu Yijian heard that Chen Lin knew something he didn't know, and immediately rushed to Chen Lin, glared at Chen Lin, and prepared to question Chen Lin.
Chen Lin glanced at Lu Yijian and smiled faintly, "Lv Xiang, don't ask our family, we don't know anything. If you want our family to speak, you have to ask the official to ask for a will.
Lu Yijian said angrily: "If I can invite the official will, I still have to ask you?"
The smile on Chen Lin's face was even stronger, "Then you don't ask our family. The official has given a password, so our family dare not offend."
"Unreasonable!"
Lu Yijian gritted her teeth, but did not press Chen Lin again.
Because he knew that since Zhao Zhen had given the password, Chen Lin would not say anything.
As a loyal servant around Zhao Zhen, his loyalty to Zhao Zhen far exceeds everyone.
Every sentence of Zhao Zhen is a holy edict to others, and fate to Chen Lin.
He can die, but he will never violate Zhao Zhen's words.
Seeing that Lu Yijian stopped questioning, Chen Lin bowed her hand slightly to Lu Yijian, exited the Donghua Gate, and rushed all the way to Duting Station.
There are excellent horses in the Duting Post, which is the place where the imperial officials must go before they leave Bianjing.
There is no shortage of one or two good horses in the homes of high-ranking officials.
So you don't need to go to Dutingyi when you leave Bianjing.
But Chen Lin had to go.
Because Zhao Zhen didn't give him an imperial horse, he had to follow the rules of the court.
It is ridiculous to say that the government and the public can keep all the rules set by the court, only a group of Gong'e and eunuchs.
Others took pleasure in provoking court rules.
Some high-powered people even like to be extrajudicial fanatics.
The one who likes to provoke the rules the most is the minister.
Obviously, they are a group of people who speak rules and rules in court.
After going down the court, one by one liked to challenge the rules very much.
Once you break the rules, you will always find countless reasons, countless excuses, and treat your bad rules as an elegant deed.
After the court gave up the investigation, or changed the rules, they would be complacent.
They will feel that they have defeated the court by virtue of their ingenuity, saved themselves, and forced the court to change its rules.
After Taizu established the rules, few people dared to break the rules.
Occasionally one or two important ministers break the rules, and he will release some kindness appropriately.
The original intention was to let the courtiers feel his kindness and his kindness.
But after Taizong succeeded to the throne, he released too much kindness.
After Shinshu succeeded to the throne, he simply regarded kindness as a common practice.
Over time, officials will not regard breaking the rules as kindness.
Among the many rules that have been trampled on, the most thoroughly trampled is the curfew.
When Taizu was in power, the curfew was very strict and there was a risk of decapitation.
When Taizong was in power, the officials of the DPRK, especially the civil servants, who violated the ban, were just verbal reprimands. The people who violated the ban would be kicked.
When Shinshu was in power, the curfew was in vain.
After Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, he couldn't help it.
The rules are completely trampled and it is difficult to maintain.
In the end, it can only be banned.
In addition, there are rules for abducting prostitutes.
When Taizu was in power, officials were not allowed to escort prostitutes during office hours.
When Taizong was in power, this rule was a little lax.
When Zhenzong was in power, officials dared to take Ji concubine into the palace, and even asked Zhenzong for a woman. Abiding prostitutes is like an ordinary boring pastime and can be seen everywhere. Some officials also like to hold open meetings.
The official who asked Jinzong for a woman was Kou Ji's grandfather Kou Zhun.
Mrs. Kou just returned to justice, but that was a political matter.
In terms of female sex, Mrs. Kou doesn't have much self-sustainability.
If it weren't for the help of the emperor's emperor, Kou's grandfather would have been full of children and grandchildren, and Kou Ji might not have the opportunity to inherit Kou's family business.
All in all, there are many people in Bianjing who break the rules, but very few people follow the rules.
Kou Ji also wanted to be a rule-abiding person, but conditions didn't allow it.
Kou Ji wanted to be a person who treated captives kindly.
But when he arrived at Tanshan and found that the granary he had high hopes for was on fire, more than 3,000 prisoners were pushed to the execution ground.
"cut!"
Kou Ji gave an order, and three thousand heads were chopped off.
Kou Ji stared at the blood sprayed all over the floor, without any expression on his face.
He returned to his senses and looked at the soldier who knelt down behind him, and said in a cold voice: "A thousand iron armors could not stop the three thousand prisoners. They broke through the checkpoint, not to mention, and they were set on fire and lost food and grass.
If you can put on the iron armor, it means that you are a veteran who has fought for many years.
As a veteran, you should know the importance of food and grass to a soldier and horse.
As a veteran, you should also know what kind of sins the soldiers who guard the grain and grass should bear if they lose the grain and grass. "
"It's the fault of one person in the humble post, and I ask Priscilla Kou to let go of the humble subordinates."
The school lieutenant kneeling in front of Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said solemnly.
"To shut up!"
Kou Ji drank and said coldly: "I don't know how to lead soldiers, but it doesn't mean I'm stupid! One thousand armors can also fight against ten thousand soldiers and horses. Against three thousand unarmed prisoners, you can say yes. easy.
Now that you have a thousand armors, you have not been able to stop three thousand unarmed prisoners, which shows that this matter is not just a fault.
You have the courage to make mistakes, don't you have the courage to admit it? "
The soldiers bowed their heads, and no one spoke.
Kou Ji smiled, but with anger in his smile, "Do you think that the law does not blame the public? Or do you think I Kou Ji dare not kill his own people
I will tell you now, not only do I dare to kill you, but I dare to afflict your family! "
When the soldiers heard the words, they all looked up, their faces stunned.
Kou Ji yelled, "Don't play tricks with your little cleverness in front of me. Within three breaths, if no one tells me the truth, I will let you know what military law is ruthless!"
"One!"
"..."
"Drink!"
"The villain is waiting for someone to drink!"
"..."
A soldier shouted.
The soldiers gritted their teeth and dropped their heads together.
Drinking is not allowed in the military, but the requirements are quite strict.
For example, during the execution of the military order, it is absolutely not allowed to drink half a drop of alcohol.
But even so, some people in the military still violated the ban.
Take drinking as an example, it is the generals in the army who commit the most crimes.
So there are often things that go wrong with drinking.
The small one forgets to practice, the big one loses a battle.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief in the army will usually catch a few people who have made a mistake by drinking and kill the flag before issuing an order.
After Kou Ji became the privy envoy, this rule was clearly written into the military regulations.
The generals in the army were still offending, but almost none of them had drunk during the war, nor did they delay military affairs due to drinking.
It is the first time that it has been drinking on such a large scale and making a big mistake.
"Who told you that you can drink alcohol in the military, and who told you that you can drink alcohol during military service?!"
"Do you think that the enemy has been killed fifty miles away by us, so you can sit back and relax?"
"Who is the military rule written for?!"
Kou Ji asked three times, and the soldiers who asked were speechless.
Kou Ji returned to his head and ordered the officials behind him, "Go and ask the nobles who watched the prisoners, and ask them, do you want me to send someone to carry them over with a sedan chair?"
The pro-congruent official hurriedly agreed, and quickly followed Kou Ji's orders.
Not long after, a team of soldiers, led by a personally official, arrived at Kou Ji's side.
Without waiting for them to give salutes, Kou Ji told the pro-serving official: "Pull them down and chop them all down."
"The cleric, the loss of the granary has nothing to do with the lowly ranks."
The soldiers who had just arrived shouted in horror.
Kou Ji sneered and said, "It has nothing to do with you when the captive escapes from under your nose?"
The leading soldier swallowed a spit and squatted: "Private envoys, prisoners of humble ranks and others are all there. There are many people alone. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check."
Kou Ji sneered: "The prisoners who attacked the granary and burned the grain and grass came out of thin air?"
"Then... the humble people don't know."
"..."
"Ah… "
Kou Ji snorted, no longer paying attention to them, but questioning the official said: "What are you waiting for, do my orders no longer work?"
The official was taken aback for a moment, and the people under his opponent hurriedly ordered: "Take them all down."
The soldiers guarding the captives saw Kou Ji's people surrounding them and shouted in horror.
"The Secret Envoy! There is nothing wrong with the people of the low ranks, why do you want to kill the people of the low ranks
Kou Ji's eyes fell on them again, and he said coldly: "You are smart, but you are too smart. Do you think that I borrowed three thousand prisoners from elsewhere to fill the prison camp, and I wouldn't know about your dereliction of duty?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the soldiers guarding the captives changed, and they all looked at the leading soldiers.
The headed soldier gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you are talking about."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, "I really can't see the coffin without weeping. Do I need to pull out all the prisoners and count them one by one?"
The headed soldier slowly lowered his head and said firmly: "I have no regrets about my humble duty."
Kou Ji smiled, "You are really stupid. You are still dying to this point. Do you think that Gao Chu Gong and Zhu Neng have captured so many prisoners this time, and they have not counted them clearly, I How is it possible to know exactly how many people there are, right?"
Kou Ji's face became cold, "Go to the captive camp and bring your people out."
Kou Ji didn't mean anyone.
But after his voice fell to the ground, a weak and weak middle-aged walked out from behind him, bowed his hand to Kou Ji, and rushed to the prison camp.
The headed soldier began to tremble slightly and his shoulders began to shake, but he gritted his teeth and did not let go.
When the middle-aged man behind Kou Ji brought out four people from the captive camp and appeared in front of Kou Ji.
"Puffing..."
"Puffing..."
The soldiers guarding the captive camp fell to the ground one by one.
Someone even shouted: "Private Kou, please spare your life, the villain knows it's wrong!"
Then, the headed soldier still gritted his teeth.
Kou Ji ignored him, and didn't even let Wu Desi's spies tell what these people were doing.
Kou Ji just said coldly to the soldiers begging for mercy: "Remember, the reason why you die is because your captain is a fool!"
As soon as this remark came out.
The soldiers guarding the captive camp all looked at the leading soldiers.
The headed soldier still said nothing.
He knew he was dead, so begging for mercy was useless.
He also didn't want to beg for mercy, and didn't want to be softened.
Because he doesn't want people to feel that he is weak.
"Pull it down, chop it down!"
Kou Ji gave a cold call.
They finally collapsed when the officers and the officers took the soldiers to stand up the soldiers guarding the prison camp.
They pointed at the headed soldiers and yelled at them.
The leading soldier gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his head, and pointed at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground who were keeping food and grass, "The reason why we neglected our duty is because they gave us wine.
We have to die, and they have to die. "
Kou Ji snorted coldly, "They can live because they know that they take the initiative to admit their mistakes."
The headed soldier finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stared at Kou Ji and roared: "They gave us the wine. It is them who made us make mistakes. Why do we have to die but they can live?!
why? ! "
Kou Ji sneered: "Do you really think that I will cut you off because of a warehouse of grain? Keep you, you can help me grab ten warehouses, kill you, and I won't get anything.
As a person, I rarely kill myself.
As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, I will give you a chance to survive.
But they confessed their mistakes. After I arrived, they immediately appeared in front of me and confessed their mistakes.
What about you
You first sent people to your colleagues' office to borrow a hundred and ten prisoners, and you made up three thousand to make up for the shortcomings in your prison camp.
Then just pretend that nothing happened.
If someone had not reported your actions to me early, let me know the inside story, and dug up you, I am afraid you would not recognize anything.
I can't tolerate a person like you.
I will not stay under my hands. "
"Pull out and chop it!"
Kou Ji ordered again.
The official dragged the man away from Kou Ji, who was yelling hysterically, "Obviously it's their fault from beginning to end, why don't they need to die?! Why don't they need to die?!"
Kou Ji ignored him.
After the soldiers guarding the captive camp were dragged onto the guillotine, screams and desperate roars were heard not long after.
Kou Ji seemed to have heard nothing, staring at the kneeling soldier and said coldly: "You have heard what I said just now, but don't be happy too early.
Sometimes it is more comfortable to die than to live.
The food you guard is a three-day ration for fifty thousand people.
I want you to go to the battlefield to grab rations of fifty thousand people for three days.
And you have to chop off the same number of heads as you, and the same number of heads as the soldiers guarding the captive camp. "
The soldiers kneeling on the ground dropped their heads together and responded with a heavy voice.
"You only have half a month... and..."
Kou Ji stared at all the soldiers and said loudly, "I, a soldier of the Song Dynasty, can only stand and die, never kneel to live. Later, let me find that someone kneels at every turn, so I will break his leg and demote him Let him kneel for the rest of his life because of the crime.
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers kneeling on the ground stood up and answered again.
Kou Ji ordered the Wu Desi spies behind him, "Take them to chase Zhu Neng's team, and let Zhu Neng urge them to kill the enemy."
Wu Desi's people agreed.
Kou Ji didn't pay attention to them, but took his own people and stepped into the biggest mansion in Tanshan City.
After arriving in the mansion, after a little rest.
Kou Ji took pen and paper, wrote a prohibition order, and ordered them to be sent to all armies quickly.
Not long after Kou Ji's Prohibition Order was sent out, a young man hurried into the main hall with a volume of documents.
"Sir, the next official has counted the grain, cattle and sheep in Tanshan City. The quantity is not as much as you think."
After entering the main hall, the young man quickly reported to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji asked in a deep voice: "This time we brought out 2.7 million prisoners. Excluding those divided into Jingnan Road and Northwest Road, there are about 800,000 left.
The food in Tanshan City will last for 800,000 people. "
"Eat something thinner every day, you can eat it for half a month."
The youth replied.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have a way to help them get more food?"
The youth said decisively: "No!"
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Are you still the Su Xun I know?"
Su Xun rolled his eyes and said, "That's 800,000 people, not eight people. Tens of thousands of food are consumed every day. Now it's late autumn, and the land is so cold that there is no way to farm.
If you want to raise them, at least until the harvest next summer.
The food consumed is a huge number.
Students are not that capable. "
Kou Ji asked, "What if I impose it on you?"
Su Xun said helplessly: "The student can only resign. Anyway, I don't look like an official now. I am afraid that the place under my own administration has already become a mess. When the court is held accountable, I will definitely not be able to run away. It is better to resign as soon as possible."
Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun, "A Confucian state knows the state, can he follow me and have a future?"
Su Xun said irritably: "There are now 68,432 people in Ruzhou, and 23,05 thousand prisoners. The students used the people to take prisoners, saving a lot of trouble.
As long as the students follow the practices of Han Qi and others in Hexi to help the people cultivate and make a fortune.
As long as the prisoners do not cause trouble and their term expires, the students will definitely be able to earn enough credit for promotion.
You dragged the students out of Ruzhou, and you didn't give them an identity, so you let the students go around with you.
If the student can't get anything out of it, and if he loses the Ruzhou Zhizhou, the student will suffer a big loss. "
Su Xun used to be a stubborn donkey, and his sharp edge was clearly shown.
After getting along with Han Qi and others for a lot of time, and after going through officialdom, he has more or less edges and corners.
It's just that some things in the bones are still indelible.
Such as his character.
When others saw Kou Ji, they were all respectful.
Only he dared to speak so carelessly in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun and said, "Since I dare to drag you out of Ruzhou, I can naturally guarantee your career."
Su Xun heard this and said with a smile: "Then Mr. is going to find a few rank officers for the students? I'm so young, so sorry for your status?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "A prefect, doesn't it deserve my identity?"
"Prefect?!"
Su Xun was startled, "How can a student be? Can you take on the important task of a prefect?"
After the implementation of the road reform government system in the Song Dynasty, the prefect ranks were from the third rank and the regular fourth rank.
Whether it is the third grade or the positive fourth grade, it mainly depends on the seniority, and the size and prosperity of the government under the rule.
Su Xun is just a Zhizhou now.
Regardless of whether the Zhizhou and the prefect are subordinates, they think that there is no gap between them.
In fact, the gap between the prefects and the prefectures is very large.
Know the state is from the fifth grade to the sixth grade respectively.
It depends on the size of the state, the number of people, and the degree of affiliation.
Su Xun, the Confucian state knows the state, is just the smallest of the sixth grade.
The span in the middle of Kou Ji's sudden promotion to Su Xun's position as prefect is not generally large.
Can't help Su Xun not surprised.
Kou Ji saw Su Xun's face in astonishment, and smiled and asked, "Why? Don't you dare?"
Su Xun cried and said, "The student is only 19 this year, and he is appointed as a prefect. The student is afraid of being impeached to death by the civil and military officials in the court.
Sir, you will be scolded too. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Now the Liao region is full of waste, and you have made an exception to promote you as a prefect. Even if the people in the court know about it, they won't say anything.
So you can rest assured that no one will impeach you. "
Su Xun licked the corner of his mouth and moved a little, but still shook his head.
Liaodi is not a good place now.
Kou Ji dared to promote him beyond the standard, which meant that the burden was to be entrusted to him.
He has limited qualifications and can't take up the big task.
Kou Ji didn't seem to hear Su Xun's words, and said to himself: "I will ask the court to change the Jingdong Road of Liao State to Bohai Prefecture.
You will temporarily go to Bohai Mansion and serve as two prefects.
After the two prefects, you will have all the qualifications, and you will be worthy of the position of the fourth grade.
No one will say anything when you mobilize at that time. "
Su Xun's expression changed when he heard this, and he said bitterly, "Sir, aren't you messing around?"
Kou Ji continued: "There are about 700,000 prisoners assigned to Bohai Mansion. After you go to Bohai Mansion, your first task is to feed those seven hundred thousand people."
Su Xun's face was even more bitter, "Sir, you still kill me."
Kou Ji glanced at Su Xun and said, "Bohai Mansion is near the sea, as long as you move your mind and get some seafood from the sea, it won't be a problem to raise those captives for a lifetime.
In addition, after I sent the local soldiers to their places of origin, there is still a lot of food left, and I can distribute part of it to you at that time.
Make sure your people in Bohai have food to eat throughout the winter.
After Di Qing fought in Bohai Mansion and seized the grain, he can also share part of it with you.
The horses can be yours.
Are you relieved now? "
Su Xun hesitated: "I... can I not go?"
Kou Ji said decisively: "No!"
Su Xun's face darkened, and he put on a murderous look, "Can I make a condition?"
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, "If it's not too much, I can consider it."
Su Xun hurriedly said, "Can you send Bao Zheng to me as a deputy?"
"Bao Zheng?!"
Kou Ji was taken aback, and questioned: "His filial piety period has passed?"
Su Xun replied: "There is still half a month."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I will send someone to Luzhou to summon him."
Su Xun took a deep breath and said, "It's not too bad to have Bao Zheng help."
