Wang Zeng had a headache when he heard Kou Ji's statement. He stared at Kou Ji and complained: "Can you always think about using soldiers and horses, soldiers and horses can't solve all problems."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Do you agree with what you say?"
Wang Zeng nodded almost without hesitation.
He felt that he needed to correct Kou Ji's erroneous idea that he wanted to be rough at every turn.
Seeing Wang Zeng nodded, Kou Ji continued smiling and asked, "You can read history?"
Wang Zeng rolled his eyes.
Who do you look down on
I, Wang Zeng, has been one of the three leaders who have counted with one hand since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
I may be inferior to people in terms of the country's strategy.
But in terms of familiarity with the classics and historical records of the philosophers, there was no one in the Song Dynasty who could beat them.
Your grandfather is not my opponent either.
In the past, Ding said that he was able to compete with me in this regard, because that guy never forgets, and he is different from ordinary people.
Now, my king once dared to recognize the second, no one dared to say that he was the first.
Kou Ji knew the answer in Wang Zeng's heart through Wang Zeng's reaction. He smiled and said: "Since you are studying history, you should know.
Almost all innovations are based on the change of dynasties.
It is almost impossible to succeed if you want to maintain the stability of the dynasty and reform.
Even if it is successful, it is just a wedding dress for others.
It's like Sui Li's imperial examination system, which broke the monopoly of aristocratic elites on the high position in the DPRK.
But it was also targeted by aristocratic families.
That's why the Eighteenth Road Anti-Wang came to Beijing.
If there was no imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, how many ways do you think there will be anti-king in Beijing? "
Wang Zeng frowned and fell into silence.
Kou Ji saw that the king hadn’t spoken, so he smiled and said: “Three-five roads are dead... There can be no eighteenth roads... What really led to the emergence of the eighteenth roads against the king was the imperial examination system.
The emergence of the imperial examination system broke the family's control over the dynasty.
The aristocratic family members saw the crisis, so they rallied to attack.
In the end, Li Tang won the country.
Li Tang stepped on the remains of the former Sui Dynasty and once again implemented the imperial examination system.
In order to implement the imperial examination system, several emperors of Li Tang also made great efforts.
They fought against the clan clan for decades, and it was not until the clan clan’s power was weakened that the imperial examination system was officially promoted.
Before they thoroughly promoted the imperial examination system.
Those students want to participate in the imperial examination, but they need famous families and some officials from North Korea and China to nod their heads.
After Li Tang's defeat.
I am great Song Liguo.
After I established the country in Song Dynasty, I also implemented the imperial examination system.
And my students from Dasong do not need to nod their heads, nor do they need to be elected by officials from North Korea and China, to participate in the imperial examination.
As long as he is talented, as long as he does not commit a crime.
He can enter the examination room. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at Wang Zeng and said with a smile: "So, it is impossible to innovate without bloodshed. The system we want to innovate is larger and larger than the imperial examination system, and its impact will inevitably exceed that of the imperial examination system. system.
Therefore, the difficulties we have to face may be more than promoting the imperial examination system.
So we must prepare for the worst. "
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want the officials to create their own opposition?"
Kou Ji spread out his hand and asked in return: "Then what do you want to do? Do nothing, and watch the assholes lying on Da Song's body and smashing bones and sucking marrow until Da Song is defeated
It is better for officials to create their own opposition than for others to create their own opposition. "
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said, "The matter is not as serious as you said."
Kou Ji said lightly: "Whether the matter is serious or not, you Wang Zeng knows in his heart. The rate of civil rebellion in the Song Dynasty is the highest in all dynasties.
If there is no problem with the Song Dynasty, why should the people rebel
Too comfortable to live
Still feel that living a waste of food? "
Wang Zeng was so speechless.
Kou Ji continued: "The problem is already very serious. It is like a single spark, constantly flickering in every corner of the Song Dynasty.
Now, we can suppress it, so we can treat it as non-existent, or we can say that it is not serious.
But when it was completely connected to form a prairie fire.
Tell me, what to extinguish it then
Who can extinguish it? "
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Kou Ji stared at him and said: "Manchu civil and martial arts have encountered a problem. The first thing that comes to mind is not how to solve it. Instead, I want to avoid it.
If too many people's interests are involved, not only will they avoid it, but they will also conceal it.
It is like a disease, and it must be cured if it is discovered.
If it is not cured, it will become a fatal disease one day.
There has been a saying among the local officials, called being an official, for the benefit of one party.
This sentence does not suit us.
But we should use this to comprehend another sentence.
That is to be the master, Anbang for a hundred years. "
Speaking of this, Kou Ji paused and stared at Wang Zeng solemnly: "So... once I take up the post of Tongzhong Shushu, I will not be polite to anyone.
I will kill anyone who prevents me from doing things for the country and the people. "
Wang Zeng clenched his fists and said tremblingly, "Have you finished killing?"
Kou Ji said unceremoniously: "There are a total of 10 million people in the Liao Kingdom. Except for those who died in battle and those who tossed to death by themselves, the rest are all prisoners of my Da Song.
When I was in Liaodi, as long as nodding their heads, they could all be in different places.
Do you think I can make up 10 million households with the number of big family members in Song Dynasty? "
Wang Zeng stared at Kou Ji and said, "When I was in Liaodi, I said that if you do this, many people will die in vain."
Kou Ji sneered, "If you kill a million people and allow tens of millions or even more than tens of millions of people to live in peace, I will not be polite."
Wang Zeng sat up abruptly and shouted: "They are all from the Song Dynasty, not a foreign race."
Kou Ji glanced at Wang Zeng and asked coldly: "We regard them as Song people, but do they regard themselves as Song people? For their own benefit, even the safety of my Song Dynasty is not even considered, even the future generations. Regardless of peace and happiness.
What do we keep them for
Keeping their brains full of fat, they emptied Da Song.
Then wait for others to kill them
By the way, harm the people again? "
Wang Zeng said angrily: "My Da Song is now invincible in the world."
Kou Ji sneered: "The big men are the same. But at the end of the Han Dynasty, aristocratic family members were powerful and boundless, fighting each other to compete for the throne.
But it ignores that outsiders are sitting in the dark.
The final result is that the Han Chinese are reduced to two-legged sheep and become meat in the mouths of others.
Do not set a rule for those big wealthy families now, they will become the new family members in the future.
And my Da Song's final fate is not much different from Da Han. "
"Now in the four wilds, no one is invincible, my Song Bingfeng is invincible..."
"Can you guarantee that Da Song will remain invincible? Or can you guarantee that the forces around Da Song will not rise? When I was in the early days of Da Song, what was Xixia? It was just a feudal town with two states."
"..."
Kou Ji used Xixia as an example, but Wang Zeng couldn't say anything.
Xixia was fattened by Song Dynasty.
Wang Zeng took a few deep breaths and calmed down, "I always disagree with killers..."
Kou Ji yawned, and said indifferently: "Then you pray that those rich and powerful people will be behaved. Let them not go against the court, and there is no end to the court.
I'm Da Song and not Da Sui.
Don't say that the eighteenth road is against the king, he is one hundred and eighty roads, and I can let him come back and forth. "
If others hear Kou Ji's words, they may think Kou Ji is bragging.
But Wang Zeng knew that Kou Ji was not bragging.
This is the truth.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are invincible in the world.
And these soldiers and horses are in the hands of Zhao Zhen.
If Kou Ji needs to be transferred, Zhao Zhen will definitely not stop him.
More importantly, as Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen continued to innovate the military system, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty continued to benefit from war after war.
Nowadays, the soldiers can be called fierce pawns, almost all of them have become landlords big and small.
The hearts of the lieutenant generals had long been bought by Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
They are now one mind with Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
If other people want to rebel, there is no way to instigate the most elite soldiers of Song Dynasty.
Without the support of Da Song's most elite soldiers and horses, why would you rebel
Why should a gang of people with broken blades talk to the Forbidden Army with muskets and artillery
In the case of absolute strength, what is the difference between Shiba Road and 180 Road
When the Song Dynasty was conquering the Liao State, millions of people in the Liao State flocked to the edge of the Great Wall. They were not defeated and turned into prisoners. Now they are working in various parts of the Song Dynasty to make atonement.
If someone in the community encourages the people to rebel, no matter how many people gather, the end will be almost the same.
Once the Forbidden Army was dispatched, they hardly had any capital to resist.
And the imperial army will never have any concerns about them.
Because 90% of the family members of the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty have now moved to the border of the Song Dynasty one after another, and become small landlords in the border of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, family members of the Forbidden Army will never appear in the Rebellion Army.
Wang Zeng sighed for a long time, "I will stare at them, I hope they don't do stupid things..."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "You'd better hope that someone among them will do it as soon as possible. In this way, the court can also slaughter others and frighten others.
There may be less blood shed at that time. "
Wang Zeng opened his mouth and suddenly realized that he could not refute Kou Ji's remarks.
No one wants to see bloodshed happen.
But when bloodshed is bound to happen, some small-scale bloodsheds occur first, which can always deter one or two and reduce the occurrence of bloodsheds.
Seeing Wang Zeng fell into silence again, Kou Ji said indifferently: "I have told you almost everything that should be said. You don't have to continue to communicate with me about this in the future.
Because it doesn't make sense.
I will never change my mind. "
After saying this, Kou Ji didn't wait for Wang Zeng to continue to speak, and then drove people away, "You are not here for a short time. It's time to leave.
Lu Yijian is busy calculating with me now, and there is not much time to deal with government affairs. The Zhengshitang must have piled up a lot of government affairs for you to handle. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Zeng sighed long, got up and left the courtyard.
After Wang Zeng left, Liu Heng slowly said, "Wang was one of the few good people in the court. If you scare him so much, you are not afraid that he can't stand it?"
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and asked, "Who scared him?"
Liu Heng said dumbfoundedly: "I know that what you are talking about today is what you said from the bottom of your heart. But you should also know in your heart that the situation is definitely not as bad as you said.
After all, you have been with the official family for so long.
It is impossible to achieve nothing at all. "
Kou Ji saw that Liu Heng had seen through his thoughts, and he confessed: "Menevolence is not in charge of soldiers, and mercy does not govern politics. What kind of merciful person do you really think the king was
From his official career to the present, when it is time to kill, he will never be merciless.
The reason why he argued with me, the reason he put on a kind face, was because he didn't want too many innocent people to be involved.
He is now fighting for the innocent people to survive, not for the wealthy and inhumane.
Believe it or not, if he only kills the rich and powerful, he will definitely kill more quickly and decisively than mine. "
Liu Heng looked stunned.
Kou Ji continued: "Everyone who is a big official has a little bit of bottom line and persistence in his heart. Wang Zeng's persistence in his heart is to benefit the people, and the bottom line is not to put the butcher knife on the innocent people."
Liu Heng pondered: "Is there no way to let innocent people get rid of this matter?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "The reform of the cultural system involves all aspects of the Song Dynasty, and all of the foundation of the Song Dynasty comes from the people. Tell me, how do you keep the people out of the matter?"
Liu Heng sighed and didn't speak any more.
Kou Ji said with emotion: "The reason why I told Wang Zeng to be so terrible is to prepare him to attack the people."
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and said, "Didn't you say that not putting the butcher knife on the innocent people is his bottom line? Even so, why should he be prepared to attack the people?"
Kou Ji's words are obviously inconsistent.
Kou Ji heard Liu Heng's words and sighed: "I have told him all the consequences now. If he can break through his bottom line, he can do things with us.
If we can't, we can only help us with the finishing touches.
Some major events involving human life will certainly not allow him to participate. "
Liu Heng asked in a deep voice, "Is there no way to reduce the casualties of the people?"
Kou Ji said in a dubious voice: "I and the official are not executioners. It is impossible to enjoy killing. When you need to kill, you kill. When you don't need to kill, just send a match.
Nowadays, there is a shortage of people in the east, north, and west of Da Song Dynasty.
People are really killed, who is going to farm
No one is farming, so all the territories we have laid down are all deserted? "
When Liu Heng heard this, he laughed, "Since you don't have the mind to massacre, why bother to say it so scary."
Kou Ji sighed, "I don't have this mindset, but those wealthy and unscrupulous rich people don't worry about it."
Liu Heng pondered and said, "Should we discuss with the officials first, and focus on the big wealthy families first?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "We don't need to worry about this, the people from Wu Desi will do it."
Liu Heng questioned: "Then we are so idle now?"
Kou Ji groaned: "Let's see what Lu Yijian can do first."
Zhao Zhen left Kou Ji for the purpose of cultural reform. Now Lu Yijian refuses to give up his position, so he can only use Lu Yijian to try the water.
Lu Yi was able to carry it briefly, and everyone was very happy.
If Lu Yijian can't hold it, then Kou Ji will go back.
…
The next day.
The rumors about Kou Ji spread more violently.
He even got into the Chugong Hall.
The Manchu dynasty civil and military have discussed this.
In the end, Zhao Zhen made a will and broke the rumors.
Yang Wenguang served as the clerk.
Wang Deyong served as deputy privy envoy.
Di Qing concurrently serves as the Privy Council of Tongzhi.
For an instant.
The rumors that Kou Ji was about to serve as privy envoy again disappeared instantly.
Lu Yijian felt the fire hit her ass, and couldn't sit still.
Lu House.
Lu Yijian sat in the first place with a gloomy expression.
Lu Yijian's son Lu Gong stood beside him.
Lu Yijian's confidants sat down.
"Lu Xiang, the officials promoted Yang Wenguang to serve as privy envoy, and our spread of rumors has completely disappeared. The officials now almost make it clear that they want you to give way to Kou Ji.
If you don't want to think of a way anymore, I am afraid Kou Ji will replace you. "
Han Yang, the servant of the criminal ministry, said in a deep voice.
This person does not have a name in the history books, and has not done any major deeds.
Now that he is nearly fifty years old, his body is not very good, and the minister of the criminal ministry should be the end of his career.
Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said, "What can the old man do? If the old man has a method, can he still sit here?"
"Should we submit a letter to the official, asking the official to let Kou Ji leave the city of Bianjing as stated in the edict to the king?"
"The official family specially left Kou Ji, how could it be possible that Kou Ji should leave because of you and me."
"Then frame him..."
"Stupid! What about framing him, he is neither greedy for money, nor is he nasty, and now he has no officials and no princes, the only thing that can be framed is treason.
Framing him for rebellion, what if it comes true
Don't forget, most of the generals in the army now are his confidants.
Now that anyone is framed, he can't be framed. "
"What do you do then? Sit and wait to die?"
"..."
Lu Yijian's confidantes were talking babbledly, and at the end of the talk, they all fell into silence.
Kou Ji is not greedy for money and not good-looking, and there is no official or nobleman, and there is no way to pick a thorn, which is really embarrassing.
"Or... just give him the position?"
When Lu Gongzhu saw that everyone fell into silence, he hesitated and said in a low voice.
Lu Yijian and others stared at Lu Gongzhu.
Give up the position, speaking lightly.
If you really let it out, it won't be so easy to get it back.
If Kou Ji eradicated the dissidents and cleared them out of the court, then they would have no room to stand up.
The first thing that a powerful minister has done when he comes to power is to eradicate dissidents and consolidate his position.
Therefore, this position can only be occupied, or it can be dismissed when Zhao Zhen personally orders it.
If Zhao Zhen personally ordered the dismissal, then they would have enough reason to bring all the civil and military forces over and take Kou Ji above the ground.
Only in this way can they protect themselves.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Gong Lu hesitated for a moment and said: "I also know that it is not appropriate to let it out. But Kou Ji is now coming fiercely, and the officials are turning towards Kou Ji.
Now the official family has no excuse to dismiss you, so they didn't speak.
But once the official finds an excuse, he will dismiss you.
Then we have no chance to stand up. "
"Give up the position, let alone no chance."
Han Yang frowned and said in a deep voice.
Gong Lu shook his head, "That's not necessarily... Kou Zhun left the word when he left Beijing, it is my father's chance to make a comeback.
My dad gave up his position and could follow the example of Kou Zhun, claiming that he was giving the younger generation a chance.
In this way, my father's reputation will be much higher.
Hundred officials will also face my father.
The same is true for civilians.
With the support of hundreds of officials and the people, even if Kou Ji wanted to suppress dissidents, he had to find a better reason.
When the time comes, dad, you said that you were sick at home and did nothing. Kou Ji naturally couldn't find any excuse.
As long as you don't fall, other people Kou Ji can't move.
During Kou Ji's administration, we can take photos of it slowly.
Dad, you have been in the Zhengshitang for many years. You should know that the political affairs of the Zhengshitang are very cumbersome.
After all the government affairs are processed, it is impossible for everything to be perfect.
As long as Kou Ji makes a mistake, we can come together and attack it. "
After listening to Lu Gong's words, Lu Yijian and others were taken aback.
After they bowed their heads and thought about it one by one, they felt that Lu Gong's words made sense.
Everyone in the room knew that Kou Ji was coming so menacingly that it was almost irresistible.
Now they are exhausted, nothing more than a dying struggle.
But even so, Lu Yijian could not give way.
Once you take the initiative to give way, there is no room for turning over again.
However, according to Lu Gong's statement, if he takes the initiative to give up his position, there will be some chances of turning over in the future.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yijian and others felt that Lu Gong's proposal was feasible and prepared to discuss it in detail.
But they haven't spoken yet. Chen Yaozuo, who has already been transferred to the Ministry of Households as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, spoke unhurriedly, "Kou Ji, who is doing things, is vigorous and resolute.
He wants to get rid of dissidents, but he doesn't care about Lu Xiang. "
Someone wanted to refute, so he heard Chen Yaozuo faintly added, "Don't forget, the official is facing him. Lu Xiang can pretend to be sick, why can't the official pretend to be confused
When Wang Qinruo framed Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun went to the first emperor to inquire about the matter, and where did the first emperor pretend to be confused.
Because of this, Kou Zhun was dismissed and sent to Shaanxi Province.
Therefore, Wang Qinruo took the position of Pingzhangshi under the school of Tongzhong.
If it hadn't been for the slanderer Ding Wei, he moved to Wang Qinruo and gave Kou Zhun a chance. Kou Zhun would probably not be able to turn around for a lifetime.
If Kou Ji wants to eradicate dissidents, even Lu Xiang, if the officials pretend to be confused, what are you doing to turn around? "
After listening to Chen Yaozuo's words, Lu Yijian and others looked very ugly.
Zhao Zhen turned towards Kou Ji. Once Kou Ji took up the post of Tongzhong Shushu, he could do whatever he wanted, and no one had a temper.
After Lu Yijian and others were silent for a long time, they looked at Chen Yaozuo.
Chen Yaozuo felt their gazes, and said indifferently: "Don't ask me why I didn't count myself. My third brother is now fighting in Hexi. Whether it is an official or Kou Ji, when dealing with me, more or less Will take care of the face of my third brother."
Speaking of this, Chen Yaozuo said unceremoniously: "If Kou Ji hadn't coaxed my third brother to join the army and ruined a good career, I would not sit with you and calculate him.
