"The prince?"
Kou Ji was a little surprised. Kou Ji thought it would be Lu Yijian or Chen Yaozuo and others.
Unexpectedly, it was Wang Zeng.
When Wang Zeng was in Liaoyang Mansion, he expressed his opinion with Kou Ji, and he joined the reform alliance established by Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
It's also his own.
The five newly-appointed princes gathered together, and it stands to reason that Wang shouldn’t have been worried.
"Please go to the backyard for a comment."
Kou Ji gave an order.
Xiang Yan immediately ordered the housekeeper to welcome Wang Zeng to the backyard.
Xiang Yan herself took the maid down to make tea.
After Wang Zeng arrived, Kou Ji and Liu Heng stood up to salute.
Wang Zeng replied, and the three of them sat down.
After sitting down, Wang Zeng complained to Kou Ji: "You will really trouble me..."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I didn't find the trouble for you, but they brought it to the door."
Wang Zeng said in an angry voice: "You know that their identities are very sensitive, and you dare to let them into the mansion."
Kou Ji spread his hands, "I was not in the house when they came. They are all princes, and the others in my house dare not stop."
Wang Zeng sighed, "You don't know, some people from Chong Shiheng just arrived at your house, someone went to the palace to report the matter to the official.
The official didn't care, but Lu Yijian cared very much, so let me come and take a look.
Take a look at what you princes are doing together at the mansion. "
Kou Ji didn't hide it, and said frankly: "What else can they do? They are reluctant to bear on the property, real estate, and shops, so they came to me for an idea.
Wang Zeng frowned, "The court wants to take back those things and return them to the treasury. The people in the household are always staring at them. How dare they worry about it?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "The greed of the human heart is endless. Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu once said: The human heart is suffering from insufficiency, so he calms Longyou, and thinks about the land of Shu.
It is inevitable for everyone to look to Shu. "
Wang Zeng raised his eyebrows and stared at Kou Ji, "How did you give them ideas?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Of course I am admonishing them to give up this stupid idea."
Wang Zeng glanced at Liu Heng, his gaze fell on Kou Ji again, and he said solemnly: "But they are all gone now, are you talking about it?"
Kou Ji bluntly said: "Beng is not Beng. The reason why they are eager to leave is because they have other things to do."
Wang Zeng had doubts about Kou Ji's words.
He slowly got up and bowed his hand to Kou Ji, "Anyway, I have to stare at them to prevent them from doing anything stupid."
Seeing Wang Zeng was leaving.
Kou Ji hurriedly spoke.
"Prince, I shouldn't be in the palace these days. After you go back to the palace, please tell the official family that my grandfather has decided to move to Handi?"
When Wang Zeng heard this, he looked in disbelief. He exclaimed: "Are you crazy, or your grandfather crazy? With his body and bones, can he bear it
Besides, the official designation of you as king is to let your Kou clan move to Handi, not to let Kou Gong. "
Kou Ji sighed: "My grandfather made this decision by himself."
Wang Zeng shook his head, "Unless the officials are crazy, it is impossible for a living sage to leave Bianjing and leave the Song Dynasty."
The saints are the existence respected by thousands of people.
The saints are also a benchmark.
As long as the sages are in the city of Bianjing, that city of Bianjing is the holy land of the people under the sky.
The people of Tianwen, whether they are following or imitating the sages, will gather in Bianjing City.
Zhao Zhen can use it at will.
At the same time, you can also blow your own cultural merits in the sacrificial essays to your ancestors.
Those who write history, for the sake of sages and sages appearing when he is sitting, will show mercy to his subordinates and even praise a few words.
The importance of sages is so great, how could Zhao Zhen let the sages leave Beijing.
Kou Ji looked at Wang Zeng and said seriously: "Duke, you know exactly what kind of temper my grandfather is. Now he has decided and no one can stop him.
If the official insists on keeping him, and he will lose his temper, then I am afraid that many things will embarrass the official by then.
So please dissuade the official family for one or two and let the official family release my grandfather from Beijing. "
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said: "That is a sage, in the hearts of the people, in the hearts of scholars, the status is second only to officials.
You princes, the princes and princes in the palace, are far less important than him. "
Kou Jishi smiled and said: "Sages are also humans, not clay statues in temples. No one can keep them when they want to leave, and no one can drive them away when they want to stay."
Wang Zeng's face was sullen and fell into silence.
After a long time, he stared at Kou Ji, "Kou Gong left Beijing, is it related to you?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Wang Zeng's words.
Wang Zeng's words are not important, but the meaning behind them is very important.
He was asking Kou Ji if Kou Ji begged and forced Kou Zhun to leave Beijing.
Kou Ji sighed: "Just my grandfather's temperament, if he doesn't want to leave, who can force him?"
Wang Zeng hesitated and sighed: "That's right, if your grandfather has a bad temper, no one's face will be given. Back then, he pulled Taizong's sleeves and forced Taizong to listen to his advice, and almost got Taizong He was not afraid of getting off the stage.
If he is unwilling to leave Bianjing City, if you force him, he will definitely slap you with big mouth. "
Speaking of this, Wang Zeng paused, and questioned very unhappily in his heart: "Why did he leave Bianjing City? Doesn't he know that after leaving Bianjing City, we old friends, he is likely to see you again? Isn't it there?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "Part of it is because of me, part is because of godsend, and part is because of Kou."
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "I heard that Kou Gong sealed the old house of Kou Mansion today. Is it related to this matter?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "A little bit, but not all. My grandfather felt that the context of Bianjing City has been completely formed.
There is no other person in the city of Bianjing, and the influence is not big.
Therefore, he can stay in Bianjing City or not.
The Kou family has been famous for generations, and it has been passed down for a long time.
As you know, I will not leave Beijing.
So when the time comes, Han Di will give it to God.
God-given young, may not be able to manage Han Di well, and it is also difficult to suppress those Kou clan elders, as well as my father and my ineffective younger brothers.
So my grandfather has to go to Handi.
Help Godsend to stand firm in Handi.
By the way, help Han Di establish a context.
As long as the Huaxia context is established in Handi, no matter how Handi changes in the future, it will become an inseparable part of my Huaxia. "
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Wang Zeng looked very complicated.
Kou Zhun went to Korea, selfishness is greater than public heart.
But Kou Zhun thought that he had left the center early and considered for his clan, and that was justified.
Of course, this is just from the front.
From a long-term perspective, Kou Zhun's public mind is greater than selfishness.
Because once Kou Zhun established a context in Korea, Huaxia culture replaced all the culture in Korea.
That Handi will completely become an inseparable part of China.
Even the constant changes in the future.
There will be no impact.
It's like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, when the nations are struggling and fighting endlessly.
But Huaxia is Huaxia, not because you are divided into several dynasties.
After the country is unified, if there is a land of China, the people of China will be left out, and the people of China will always think about it, and will do their best to bring them back to the embrace of China.
It's like Yan Yun of the past.
It is occupied by people, and it doesn't mean that people in China can forget it.
On the contrary, when it did not return to Huaxia's embrace, everyone in Huaxia would be thinking about it.
"But once your grandfather leaves the city of Bianjing, I am afraid that many people will gossiping. It may be detrimental to the official family."
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "A word that can't tolerate sages is enough to make officials lose the hearts of many scholars."
Kou Ji groaned: "When the Song Dynasty was weak in the past, I could give birth to sages. Now that the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, I am afraid that I can give birth to more sages.
When my grandfather left the Song Dynasty, he could let a hundred flowers bloom and compete with each other.
If my grandfather wants to be here, he will inevitably be overwhelmed with breath.
Because as long as my grandfather is in Bianjing, no matter how much other people have achieved, it is difficult for others to pass my grandfather and become a sage. "
Wang Zeng fell into silence.
Kou Ji continued: "Given the friendship between you and my grandfather, once my grandfather leaves Beijing, you must go to see him off. Then you can talk to my grandfather about similar things.
Then publicize it.
At that time, the scholars of the Song Dynasty will not only complain about the lack of tolerance of the officials.
Instead, they will scramble to make suggestions for the court, make contributions to the court, and strive to be my second sage in the Great Song Dynasty. "
"Huh..."
Wang Zeng let out a long cry, and said with a wry smile: "What your kid said, I am tempted. It seems that you have thoroughly figured out people's hearts."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "People's hearts are very complicated. No one can figure it out, and it will never be figured out."
Wang Zeng pointed Kou Ji with his finger, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Your grandfather's bones are not good..."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "My grandfather has left the center in recent years, and has less labor and trouble. Not only has his body bones not deteriorated with age, but has become tougher.
You can take a good look when you look back to see my grandfather off. "
"That's it... Since Kou Gong has decided, I will naturally report it to the official. As for whether the official will release people, then I can't guarantee.
Your grandfather is a stubborn temper.
But the official family is not a soft persimmon. "
Wang Zeng abandoned these words and left the backyard of the Kou Mansion dejectedly.
After Wang Zeng left, Liu Heng approached Kou Ji with a look of astonishment, "Fourth brother, Kou Gong is really going to Handi?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, "Did you say that when you talked with Zhong Shiheng before?"
Liu Heng said solemnly: "I thought you were trying to stimulate Chong Shiheng, and you said that on purpose."
Kou Jishi laughed and said: "If I really want to stimulate him, I don't need to talk about my grandfather. Although I don't have a great Confucian uncle, but if I need a great Confucian, I can take a large number from the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, more than half of the great Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty are conducting various academic researches in the Tianshengguan.
Some great scholars have almost reached the point of being enchanted.
If others want to use them to do things, it may not be successful even if they are exhausted.
But if Kou Ji wants to use them to do things, only a small amount of means is enough.
As long as Kou Ji hooked their hearts away, without him soliciting, those great scholars would also rush to Korea.
The Song Dynasty is now in urgent need of development and needs some support from those great Confucianists.
Kou Ji couldn't dig into Zhao Zhen's corner, so he didn't do it.
If it were someone else, Kou Ji would have done it early.
When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words, he knew that Kou Ji's words were not false. He looked enviously and said: "With the help of Kou Gong, your fief in Korea will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You are holding a bunch of great scholars in your hand, do you envy me?"
Liu Heng laughed in a low voice: "There is no big group, just a dozen."
Kou Ji stared in amazement, "Didn't you just say seven or eight?"
Liu Heng chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that people will miss it, so I don't talk a little bit. I have exhausted nearly half of the great scholars in Liao, how could there be only seven or eight.
Those people are all great Confucian scholars, and they can be named in my Da Song Dynasty.
How dare I chop them clean easily. "
Kou Ji squinted at Liu Heng.
Liu Heng continued: "You also understand the virtues of our great Song Wenchen. In case they admire one of the great scholars, I happen to cut people off. When the time comes, it will be me who will suffer.
So after breaking through the capital and taking down those great scholars, I kept my hand. "
Kou Ji almost didn't hesitate to say, "Divide me three!"
Liu Heng smiled brightly and said, "I have left five for you."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "I don't take advantage of you either. I will send you a group of skilled craftsmen and farmers who are proficient in farming and mulberry."
Liu Heng smiled and said, "Why are our brothers so clear?"
Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry: "Of course, our brothers don't need to be so clear. But after the land is closed, the two little rascals are the masters.
If a bowl of water is unbalanced, it will be bad if they have conflicts. "
Liu Heng was taken aback, "They grew up together since they were young, and they are closer than their brothers, so how can they be in conflict."
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "In spite of this, the interests should be sorted out clearly so that friendship can last for a long time.
When I found you, if I used you and took all the money, would you still have a sincere friendship with me? "
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile, and said nothing.
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said with a smile: "Didn't you ask Bo Xu to ride a horse in the suburbs?"
Liu Heng smiled and said: "He and Tianci went to the Ministry of Engineering, and are copying the shipbuilding files of the Ministry of Engineering, and they won't be back in a while."
Speaking of this, Liu Heng said with emotion: "To be honest, if I hadn't watched the shipbuilding files of the Ministry of Industry with Bo Xu in recent days, I didn't know that Song Dynasty could actually sail on the sea for more than a month. No need for docked ships.
I dare not think that Da Song could actually build a super big ship that can accommodate more than two thousand people. "
The navigation industry in ancient times was not as backward as future generations imagined.
On the contrary, before the advent of the sea ban.
The ancient navigation industry was still in a leading position in the world.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, overseas trade was one of the pillar industries of the Song Dynasty.
The porcelain and silk of the Song Dynasty are even best sellers overseas.
Every year can bring great benefits to Song Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court's decree on the maritime industry is very loose, and even often introduces some supporting decree.
But since the advent of the sea ban.
Many nautical materials, shipbuilding materials, shipbuilding drawings, etc., are tied up in the high cabinet.
Eventually it was eaten by insects and burned.
Until lost.
So when Liu Heng said these words, Kou Ji was not at all surprised.
Because he not only knows the history of the development of the navigation industry, but also read some documents and drawings stored by the Ministry of Industry.
Kou Ji smiled and said to Liu Heng: "There are still many areas to be improved in the construction of sea boats. I will tell you more when I have free time in the future."
Liu Heng nodded solemnly.
At this time, Xiang Yan happened to bring the maids with tea.
Seeing only Kou Ji and Liu Heng in front of the stone table, he looked surprised, "Where is the prince?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "I'm gone..."
Xiang Yan nodded, put down the refreshment, and left the backyard.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng chatted for a while in the backyard.
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu returned to the mansion with a group of disciples and scrolls of paintings and calligraphy.
When Liu Boxu learned that Liu Hunt was waiting for him at the Kou Mansion, he wanted to take him to the outskirts to ride a horse.
So he threw the calligraphy and painting to Kou Tianci, and followed Liu Heng out of Kou's mansion with a look of joy.
Liu Boxu actually doesn't like riding horses.
He just wanted to ride a horse with his dad and enjoy the feeling of being accompanied by his dad.
After Liu Heng and Liu Boxu's father and son left, Kou Tianci took his paintings and calligraphy, plunged into his own study, and began to study with great concentration.
Although Kou Ji only asked him and Liu Boxu to read the shipbuilding files of the Ministry of Industry, he did not order anything else.
But Kou Tianci knew that what his father had ordered him to do was definitely important to him in the future, so he didn't dare to slack off.
After Kou Ji left Liu Heng and Liu Boxu, Kou Ji found Xiang Yan and told Xiang Yan that Kou Zhun was going to Handi.
When Xiang Yan learned of this, she was taken aback.
But there is no idea.
Because she knew in her heart that Kou Zhun made the decision and she could not intervene.
What she can do is to prepare as much as possible what Kou Zhun wants to bring, and what Kou Zhun needs after arriving in Korea, and prepare for Kou Zhun in advance.
In addition, there are some floating wealth to be brought in in advance, as well as things to be used to build a fief.
More importantly, some of the tribes and craftsmen in the mansion had to ask Xiang Yan one by one to see if they were willing to follow Kou Zhun to Korea.
If he is willing, Xiang Yan has to help them pack things up and make some preparations.
If you are unwilling, Xiang Yan will not force it.
It's just that the long contract between them and Kou Mansion will be lifted and changed to a short one. After moving the floating wealth in the Kou Mansion, after the fields and other properties of the Kou Mansion are handed over to the imperial court.
Xiang Yan will dismiss them.
After a brief discussion with Kou Ji, Xiang Yan took a group of maids and servants out of the backyard and went to work.
Kou Ji lay leisurely in the backyard alone to enjoy the coolness.
It's just that he didn't stay alone for long.
Someone broke into Kou Mansion and broke Kou Ji's leisurely life.
Zhao Zhen walked into the backyard of the Kou Mansion, wearing plain clothes and holding a little girl in one hand.
Chen Lin followed closely behind Zhao Zhen.
In addition to Chen Lin, there are some dark guards who are responsible for Zhao Zhen's safety to follow.
At the door of the backyard.
The dark guards stopped.
Only Zhao Zhen, Chen Lin and two little girls entered the backyard.
The two little girls were dragged by Zhao Zhen, pouting reluctantly and moving their feet.
Kou Ji saw Zhao Zhen appear, and quickly got up from the rocking chair, bowed and saluted, "Chen Kou Ji, see the official..."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Second brother in private, you don't need to be polite. Let's talk about these two girls in your family first."
While talking, Zhao Zhen lifted the two girls in his hand to Kou Ji's eyes.
One of the girls saw Kou Ji, snorted and turned her head away.
Another girl stood in front of Kou Ji shyly.
Kou Ji glanced at them and asked Zhao Zhen with a smile, "What did the two of them do?"
Zhao Zhen said irritably: "The two of them were playing with fire in the harem, and they almost hit my harem."
Kou Ji nodded, staring at the girl who turned her head away, and asked: "When did you go to the palace?"
Kou Hui hesitated for a moment, still tilting her head, without words.
On the other hand, Bao Qing whispered: "I was bored in the palace, so I sent someone to invite Hui'er into the palace."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "So you almost gave the palace some?"
Baoqing's face blushed slightly, and her head dropped a little embarrassedly.
Kou Ji looked at Kou Hui again, and said, "You made a mistake, don't you know if you admit it?"
Kou Hui gritted her teeth, hesitated again and again, and said in a harsh tone: "I... I didn't mean it..."
Kou Jishi laughed and said: "You didn't mean to, you almost ordered the harem. If you did it intentionally, wouldn't you really give the harem a point
That is, the officials are kind and indulge you two naughty.
If it was someone else, I would have pulled you out to play the board a long time ago. "
Kou Hui gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Although she was a little foolish, she was not the kind of girl who didn't take any responsibility.
Wrong is wrong.
Dare to do and recognize.
Kou Ji pointed to the location of his study, "Punish you to silently write, and I will pack you up when I have free time."
After Kou Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zhen also ordered, "Chen Lin, go and stare."
Chen Lin nodded wittily.
Leaving the backyard of Kou Mansion with Kou Hui and Bao Qing.
He knew that Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen had something to say in private.
After Chen Lin left with Kou Hui and Baoqing, Kou Ji asked Zhao Zhen to sit down.
The two lie side by side on the recliner, talking in a low voice while blowing the cool breeze.
While shaking the rocking chair, Zhao Zhen whispered: "When I became the throne, I never thought that Song Dynasty could have today."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that Da Song will become stronger?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said confidently: "I believe that as long as I am diligent, my Da Song will definitely become stronger. I just didn't expect that my Da Song will be as strong as it is now.
I didn't expect that the powerful enemy of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, would end in my hands. "
Zhao Zhen told the truth.
When he first ascended the throne, his biggest wish was to get back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
But now the Song Dynasty not only took back the sixteen states of Yanyun, but also conquered Liao.
Today's Great Song Dynasty, the territory has expanded by 15%, invincible in the world, and it has exceeded Zhao Zhen's expectations too much.
