Kou Ji felt alienated from Yan Shu in his heart, but dealt with it with a smile on his face.
Zhao Yiyi and Zhao Xu were tired of playing and returned to the front of the palace.
Yan Shu greeted him.
Kou Ji thought they were unfamiliar and planned to introduce them. Unexpectedly, after Yan Shu's ceremony, he would talk with Zhao Yiyi. He could see that the two had met before and seemed to be very familiar with each other.
After chatting with Zhao Yingyi for a while, Yan Shu understood his intentions, "His Royal Highness, the minister is the left concubine of the East Palace, and he will follow His Highness from now on. If your Highness wants to do anything, just tell the minister to do it."
Zhao Yiyi was a little dazed, and the eunuchs who accompanied him since childhood.
Although there are many officials in the East Palace, there is no one who really stays with him.
Although Kou Ji was also an official of the Eastern Palace, he did not have the authority to accompany the prince.
If it were not for special circumstances, Kou Ji would never have been with the prince.
The Zuo concubine was different. Once he followed the prince, he was close to the prince and often accompanied him.
Suddenly, a subordinate official wanted to follow him, and he really didn't know how to deal with it.
He stared at Kou Ji in a daze, "Kou Ji..."
Kou Ji understood his thoughts. After he spoke, Kou Ji smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, as the prince, is naturally followed by subordinate officials. Now it is only Master Yan, and there will be more people next to His Highness in the future."
Zhao Yingyi nodded obediently when he heard the words, and said to Yan Shu: "Then you follow this palace..."
Yan Shu glanced at Kou Ji without a trace. He didn't expect that Kou Ji's position in Zhao Yiyi's heart was so high. Zhao Yiyi had something to do, so he would ask for Kou Ji's opinion.
He had a plan, but his face was more respectful, "Yes, Your Highness."
There was one more Yan Shu in the East Palace staring at him, and Zhao Yingyi naturally couldn't open up a small talk with Kou Ji.
Zhao Yiyi has been restrained by various rules over the years, knowing what to say when and what not to say.
Therefore, when Yan Shu appeared, although Zhao Yingyi and Kou Ji were still close, they always kept a distance and became more cautious in their words.
Until after nightfall.
After Yan Shu left the East Palace, Zhao Yingyi could get into Kou Ji ** and pull Kou Ji to say some truthful things.
Two people are holding the quilt and squatting in their arms.
Zhao Yingyi tilted his head and asked, "Kou Ji, don't you like that Yan Shu?"
Kou Ji was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "How did you see it?"
Zhao Yingyi said seriously: "It feels... I feel that you are guarding him everywhere."
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Yingyi, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "This man is too imaginary. Not only I will guard him, but you must guard him."
"why?"
Zhao benefited the question.
Kou Ji shook his head and said nothing.
Regarding what Yan Shu did afterwards, for Kou Ji, it was history.
For Zhao Yingyi, that is a prophecy.
Once Kou Jiyan understood what Yan Shu had done in the future, Zhao Yingyi said whether he believed it or not.
If it is spread out, Kou Ji may not be able to escape the charge of bewitching the prince.
Zhao Yingyi saw that Kou Ji did not answer, and wanted to follow up.
At this moment, Zhao Xu stumbled in from outside the hall.
"Brother Emperor... Brother Emperor..."
Zhao Xu looked flustered.
Zhao Yingyi hurriedly got out of bed and greeted him.
"what's happenin?"
Zhao Xu plunged into Zhao Yingyi's arms and said timidly: "Xu'er dare not sleep alone, Xu'er is afraid..."
Zhao Yingyi was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Have you heard those weird calls again?"
Zhao Xu nodded, "Since last night, I haven't stopped until now."
Zhao Yingyi held Zhao Xu, looked back at Kou Ji, and said solemnly, "Kou Ji, did something happen in the palace?"
Kou Ji shook his head, curled his lips and said, "What can happen, nothing happened."
Zhao Yingyi said earnestly: "Since last night, not only Xu'er has heard that kind of weird cry, but I have also heard it. It's very scary, like howling..."
Kou Ji glanced at him and said lightly: "Your father has so many concubines, and there are always idiots who can't be favored. Every late night, they will whine and howl. I don't believe you have not seen you in the palace all these years. ."
Zhao Yingyi was stunned and hesitated: "I have met someone, she was crazy and ran into me, not to mention that I was her son. Later, she was confined by the aunt, and I never saw her again."
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
The crazy woman in Zhao Yiyi's mouth, eight achievements is his biological mother Li.
The mystery of Zhao Yiyi's life is taboo inside and outside the palace.
Kou Zhun, Li Di, Ding Wei and others are high-ranking and even dare not to speak clearly to Zhao Yiyi, so Kou Ji would naturally not speak.
"Go to sleep..."
Kou Ji stopped speaking and fell asleep.
Zhao Yingyi held Zhao Xu, looked at Kou Ji, and whispered: "I will guard against Yan Shu."
After saying this, without waiting for a reply, he led Zhao Xu away from Kou Ji.
Time flies.
Two days have passed.
Zhao Yiyi, Kou Ji and others resumed classes.
Kou Ji met Liu Heng again.
When Liu Heng saw Kou Ji, the thief leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, what happened in the palace?"
Kou Ji didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "What's the situation outside the palace?"
Liu Heng sat next to Kou Ji and whispered: "Outside the palace is now a mess. Those Taoists who have entered the palace have not gone out so far, and the court has not given a reply.
Nowadays, there are different opinions in the city of Bianjing, and the remaining Taoists rushed to each other outside the palace and went to various houses to listen to the news, and they all found nothing.
The threshold of your Kou Mansion is about to be stepped on, but your grandfather has been evasive.
The same goes for other provinces.
In addition, many clan relatives of the royal family were arrested and taken into Zongzheng Temple for unknown reasons. Their lives and deaths are unknown.
Many people related to the royal family are now running around, listening for news.
I also heard that some people were gathering the people secretly, planning to gather at the gate of the palace to ask the officials for an explanation. "
Kou Ji sighed and said, "You don't need to know about this for the time being, you just need to know that someone is going to be unlucky..."
Liu Heng was taken aback for a moment, and said in doubt: "Four brothers are talking about the people who are going to gather at the gate of the palace to ask questions?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "The court will not act openly to the people. Therefore, the court will introduce a scapegoat to calm the anger of the people."
"impossible?"
Liu Heng was stunned.
Kou Ji curled his lips and said nothing.
Zhao Heng killed people, and the people who were killed by such cruel methods naturally cannot be made public. The best way is to find an excuse to find someone with a strong background as a scapegoat and bear the anger of the people on his behalf.
When Yang Yezhan died in Liao, the court did just that.
Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was too blind and self-confident.
Yang Yeli died in battle, and Zhao Guangyi was defeated.
This matter spread to the people, and there was great public grievance.
In order to cover up his sins and quell popular anger, Zhao Guangyi pushed the sins on Pan Mei.
As a minister, Pan Mei can only carry this scapegoat for Zhao Guangyi.
For this reason, Pan Mei, a famous founding general, was scolded as a traitorous official for thousands of years.
…
The next day.
After Liu Heng entered the palace, he hurried to Kou Ji and said incoherently: "Fourth brother, what you said has been fulfilled, it has been fulfilled!"
Kou Ji stunned: "The court really did that?"
Liu Heng nodded his head and said: "The imperial court has issued the Dibao, and the Dibao said that the royal family members, some people colluded with the demon way, assassinated the officials, and they have all been banished.
Cao Wei was not strong enough to protect the lord. He was dismissed from the privy envoy, reduced the title, went to Tianxiong and Peng Japan, both of which were command envoys, and was relegated to the Ministry of War. "
Kou Ji clicked his mouth, "Does Cao Wei carry the scapegoat? That's enough."
"By the way, fourth brother, there is also a rumor in Bianjing, saying that those Taoists were killed, it may be related to you. Now those Taoists are preaching everywhere, saying that you are..."
When Liu Heng said this, he hesitated.
Kou Ji frowned slowly, "Someone deliberately led the fire to me? What do you think I am?"
Liu Heng muttered: "Say you are... the little demon who bewitches officials..."
Kou Ji suddenly raised his eyes, "Little Demon?!"
Liu Heng nodded awkwardly.
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Go and check it out for me to see who caused the fire on me."
Liu Heng heard this and said excitedly: "After finding out, do you want to kill him? I recently made a big progress in martial arts, and I was trying to find someone to try.
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Check it out first before speaking."
Kou Ji still doesn't know the intention of others to bring the fire to him, so don't move.
"Fourth brother, don't worry, I must check this out."
Liu Heng patted his chest to make sure.
Kou Ji frowned and nodded.
In the evening.
Liu Heng and others left the palace.
Kou Ji meditated alone and returned to the East Palace bedroom.
As soon as I entered the hall door, I saw Chen Lin standing by the pillar.
Kou Ji asked curiously: "Aren't you guarding by the official house? Why did you come back? Is the official house sober?"
Chen Lin nodded and said solemnly: "The official woke up today, only one hour later, she wrote a word, and said a few words."
Kou Ji raised his brows.
Chen Lin specifically mentioned that Zhao Heng wrote a word and said a few words.
That means that this word and these few sentences are very important.
Kou Ji pondered: "Is it convenient to say?"
Chen Lin sighed and said: "Even if we don't say it, you will know in two days. Our family will tell you simply. The official wrote the word'Zhen', and at the same time decreed that the prince will supervise the country and the queen will be in charge. For the affairs of the state, your grandfather Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Ding Wei will serve in the government."
Kou Ji was stunned, and whispered: "So, from now on, the prince will be renamed Zhao Zhen?"
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji, "If you commit a taboo, don't talk nonsense. You are becoming more and more unruly in front of our house."
Kou Ji glared back, and whispered: "You dead eunuch, when you cheated me, why didn't you mention the rules?"
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji again, without saying a word.
Kou Ji clicked his mouth and said: "According to my dynasty's practice, the crown prince's official family gave the word'Zhen', and the ninety-five position is irreversible. My prince will serve as a minister, and I will be a minister of the dragon in the future?"
Chen Lin curled her lips and said faintly: "That's not necessarily..."
Kou Ji was taken aback, wondering: "Are there variables?"
Chen Lin glanced around, and after seeing no one, she whispered: "Your kid has always been good to the prince, and our family looks at you and is pleasing to the eye. Our family will remind you today.
Guard against the people around you...
Someone next to the queen said that you taught the prince badly, but our family heard it.
After the queen knew that you had taught the prince, she was obviously displeased, and you were about to be kicked out of the palace. "
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said with a black face: "Who is it?"
Chen Lin poked both hands into the cuffs, and said no more.
Kou Ji frowned and said with a sneer: "I know if you don't tell me, it's Yan Shu, right?"
Chen Lin was taken aback, squinted, and said lightly: "Our family doesn't know..."
Kou Ji squinted his eyes and said: "Sure enough, it was him... His intention for doing this, I can guess a bit."
"Oh?"
Kou Ji said solemnly: "He has been in the East Palace these days and has frequently spoken to the prince. And the prince always asks what I mean before deciding whether to adopt his advice.
I am now his thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh.
As long as I stay in the East Palace for a day, he can't be led by the prince.
Only by expelling me from the palace can he have a chance to become the confidant of the prince. "
Chen Lin stared in amazement, and exclaimed: "You mean... this person has bad intentions..."
Kou Ji sneered: "Otherwise?"
Chen Lin cast a sullen face, glanced at Kou Ji, and said suspiciously: "You didn't coax our family?"
Kou Ji spread his hand, "Why should I lie to you? The official family killed a large number of officials, and the court is now in the process of employing people. He did not take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the court to take advantage of the merits and raise the official position, but instead ran away. Come to the East Palace to sit on a cold bench.
If he had no other intentions, who would believe it? "
Chen Lin lowered her head, thinking about what Kou Ji had said.
After a long time, he raised his head and sneered and said, "You want to use our family's hand to help you deal with Yan Shu. Our family can't be fooled by you."
Kou Ji shrugged, "Whatever you think..."
Kou Ji dug down this pit.
Yan Shu dared to pit him, he naturally wanted to return.
When Chen Lin meets Yan Shu in the future, she will definitely think of Kou Ji's words.
At that time, Yan Shu will definitely be a little more vigilant.
With Yan Shu's temperament, he is bound to act in the East Palace.
As long as he moves, he will fall into the pit that Kou Ji dug.
Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji up and down, and said in a negative way: "You really are a bewitching little demon..."
Kou Ji was taken aback, frowned and said, "How do you know this name?"
Chen Lin curled her lips and said: "Our family not only knows this name, but our family also knows who passed this rumor."
Kou Ji asked, "Who?"
Chen Lin clicked her mouth and said casually: "Guo Huai instructed Liu Congmei to pass it on."
"Guo Huai? Liu Congmei?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "From Liu Heng's mouth, I know some of Liu Congmei's character and personality. He can't be instigated by Guo Huai."
Chen Lin curled her lips and said: "The eunuch has achieved Guo Huai's position, and he will more or less guess what he wants. The queen doesn't like you, so Guo Huai will naturally take the opportunity to trouble you."
Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Since the queen doesn't like me, she can expel me, so why use such unbearable means."
Chen Lin glanced at him and sarcastically said: "Unbearable means? The queen's move is very meaningful. You are the prince who is appointed by the official to attend the prince, and the official allows you to stay with the prince. There is no reasonable vision. It’s impossible to drive you out of the palace. The Queen’s move will not only expel you from the East Palace, but also ruin your reputation so that you will never have the opportunity to enter the East Palace again."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "I don't care if I can stay in the East Palace. Actually, I wanted to go out. It's just that the prince's body has not yet healed. The queen wants to drive me out of the East Palace at this time. She still uses such ruthless means. Doesn't she care about the prince? "
Chen Lin sighed and said: "The queen probably found another good doctor... But our family can't trust those people. So before you leave the palace, can you tell our family how to treat the prince later?"
Kou Ji looked at him and said solemnly: "You told me so much today, in fact, to discuss with me a way to treat the prince, right?"
Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Our family only believes in you!"
