Chen Yaozuo fell to Lu Yijian, really not because Lu Yijian was outstanding, nor because he was convinced of Lu Yijian.
It was Kou Ji who coaxed Chen Yaozi to leave the position of prefect of the Quan Kaifeng Mansion and became a general of the Yongning Army, which annoyed Chen Yaozuo.
The three brothers of the Chen clan, all of whom were born in Jinshi, were like a fish in the water in the ranks of the ministers.
Chen Yaozi even sat in a key position as the prefect of the Quan Kaifeng Mansion.
For Chen Yaozi, entering the political affairs hall is just a stepping stone.
But at this critical time, Kou Ji actually coaxed Chen Yaozi to leave the position of the prefect of Quan Kaifeng Mansion and become the general of the Yongning Army.
And it takes several years to do it.
Not only did he lose the opportunity to enter the political affairs hall, but he also did not get into the Privy Council.
Chen Yaozi was very satisfied with Kou Ji's arrangement.
But Chen Yaozuo, the older brother, was not happy.
Dare to fool my brother, do you really treat me as no one in the Chen family
It is precisely because of this that Chen Yaozuo decisively fell to Lu Yijian when Kou Ji and Lu Yijian were fighting for power.
Anyway, it's just a fight for power, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Kou Ji must be taught a lesson, to let him know the cost of deceiving Chen's children.
After listening to Chen Yaozuo's thoughts, Lu Yijian and others fell into silence again.
Is there really no way to solve this problem
"The officials let Kou Ji replace Lu Xiang, just to do things with Lu Xiang. As long as Lu Xiang does what the officials want to do, the official family will naturally not let Kou Ji replace Lu Xiang."
Chen Yaozuo glanced left and right, and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yijian and others looked at each other, but did not speak.
Chen Yaozuo added: "To this day, we have no choice. The official only needs to ask someone to help him. If we can't do it, then he can only let Kou Ji come."
Lu Yijian heard Chen Yaozuo's words and gritted his teeth and said: "There is no simple thing for officials to do."
Han Yang nodded solemnly, "Officials are most concerned about the recruitment of troops in Jiangnan and Hedong, and they are often furious about this.
But this matter is not easy to solve at all.
The officials wanted so many people, and the big names in Hedong and Jiangnan would not agree to it.
Because the people wanted by the officials are the main laborers of the wealthy families. "
"Let them pay? How about letting them pay and find someone to do it for them? In the past, the imperial court recruited soldiers, or enlisted for military service, which was the case with the rich in Hedong and Jiangnan.
"The officials want people, not money. Now that the treasury is full, the officials don't need to change the place of recruitment for that little money."
"Yes, the officials now only have people. When the officials first recruited soldiers, if they did not resist, if they followed the wishes of the officials, or proposed to spend money to hire people, there might be room for negotiation.
But they treated the imperial recruitment documents as nothing.
Don't give any face to the officials.
Now that annoyed the officials, the officials naturally have to ask people.
Officials should just want to use this to cure them, let them know who is the master of this country. "
"Even so, you can only let the rich and powerful families in the Jiangnan and Hedong regions leave. It's a bit difficult to let them leave."
"It's already in the autumn, and it's the slack time for the farming. Now recruiters should be able to recruit some."
"Does the official family insist on two million?"
Lu Yijian and others talked a lot, and Chen Yaozuo spoke again, and for a moment everyone fell into silence again.
Two million people is not a small number.
The imperial court moved the people several times before and after, and has collected all the poor and idle people everywhere.
Now that two million people are required to serve as soldiers, it will only be possible to use the main labor in the hands of the rich and powerful.
If it is about one hundred thousand, then just apportion it, and apportion it to places such as Hedong and Jiangnan, it won't have much impact.
But for two million people, it will hurt your muscles and bones.
The rich and powerful will inevitably resist.
Lu Yijian and the others were silent for a while, and Lu Yijian suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't do it, you have to do it, you can still let them.
Da Song is the Da Song of the officials, not their Da Song.
The officials, the masters of the house, have all spoken, and they dare not listen. "
Everyone glanced at each other, and someone hesitated and said: "In this way, we can offend the wealthy families in Jiangnan and Hedong."
Lu Yijian said contemptuously: "Who is not a big family anymore? If they really want to trouble us, then we will deal with them ruthlessly.
They only have people and money in their hands.
There are more than people and money in our hands, we still have power.
In our Great Song Dynasty, I have never seen a person whose power cannot be overwhelmed. "
Everyone pondered for a while and nodded together.
Now that Lu Yijian has made a decision, they will accompany Lu Yijian in a fight against the rich and powerful in Jiangnan and Hedong.
Everyone is a wealthy family, some of them, as well as Lu Yijian and others.
What they don't have, so do Lu Yijian and others.
Even so, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Although there may be losses in the course of the struggle.
But once they win, they will not only get praise and promotion from the imperial court, but they may also be able to move the assets of the wealthy families in Jiangnan and Hedong to their homes.
Seeing that they all agreed, Lu Yijian said in a deep voice, "I will go to the palace to find the official house and accept this matter to the official house. Looking back, you pick some confidants, and then select some experts from your own mansion, and go to Jiangnan and Hedong together. .
After the beginning of spring next year, the two million soldiers and horses required by the officials must be fully recruited. "
Mr. Lu reminded from the side: "Father, the official family has already recruited 600,000."
Lu Yijian glared at Gong Lu and said, "I know this naturally. I will not only help the officials fill up 1.4 million soldiers and horses, but also recruit 600,000 civilians.
I'm going to help the official vent this bad breath.
Still have to recover some interest for the officials.
I want officials to see that Lu Yijian can not only do things, but also do things beautifully. "
After Han Yang finished speaking in Lu Yijian, he hesitated a little and said: "Lu Xiangmo wants to breathe..."
Lu Yijian glanced at Han Yang and taught him experience of being an official. "It's one thing to be able to do things, and to be able to do things beautifully is another matter.
You do the same errands as others, so why do the officials have to choose you
You have to do things beautifully and let the officials look and feel comfortable, then the officials will not choose you.
When I left Bianjing City, I went to various places to patrol.
Why didn't the official patrol me for a period of time and immediately recruited me to return to Beijing to serve as a member of the government
You know, Kou Zhun was in the regent at the beginning.
I had dealt with Kou Zhun when I was following the Queen Mother before.
Why didn't Kou Zhun let me enter Bianjing City to serve as a political affair without considering the predecessors
Could it be Kou Zhun leading me
It's not.
Kou Zhun's son-in-law, Wang Shu, had the opportunity to participate in political affairs.
As long as Kou Zhun favors Wang Shu, Wang Shu may become involved in political affairs.
But in the end, why didn't Kou Zhun favor Wang Shu, but chose me instead
It's because when I was patrolling the world, I punished corrupt officials and did a beautiful job.
I can serve the public as a member of the government, but Wang Shu cannot. "
Lu Yijian finished speaking.
Everyone bowed their hands and bowed their salutes, thanking Lu Yijian for teaching them how to get promoted.
Chen Yaozuo curled his lips, but did not refute Lu Yijian's words.
Lu Yijian is right, and it can be said that it is the essence of the promotion of high-ranking officials.
It can even be said to apply to all officials.
It's just that, compared with officials of higher rank, officials of lower rank have more choices for promotion.
After everyone bowed their hands to him, Lu Yijian said with a serious face: "I am pleased to ask you all for the recruitment of soldiers in Jiangnan and Hedong."
"Lu Xiang laughed..."
"Lu Xiang is too polite..."
"The lower officials and others must handle this matter..."
"The next official is to send someone to rob, and you have to help Lu Xiang rob enough people..."
"..."
Everyone was talking in a rush.
Lu Yijian laughed, "Everyone, go to the courtyard to have a drink..."
Lu Yijian smiled brightly and invited a group of officials to a banquet in the courtyard.
After eating and drinking, they returned to their homes.
After everyone left, Lu Yijian put on court clothes and hurriedly entered the palace.
When I arrived at the palace, I saw Zhao Zhen and immediately proposed to Zhao Zhen that he would undertake the recruitment of troops.
When Zhao Zhen saw that Lu Yi briefly took the initiative to help himself solve the trouble, there was no reason not to agree.
Immediately, Zhao Zhen generously handed this matter over to Lu Yijian to handle it.
After obtaining Zhao Zhen's approval, Lu Yijian immediately ordered his troops and sent them to Jiangnan and Hedong.
The tribes behind their houses are also traveling with them.
"A large group of strong people cross the river, Jiangnan and Hedong are two places, it can be lively now."
A small courtyard named Bamboo Courtyard by Kou Ji.
Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen, and Liu Heng lie side by side.
The three of them stared at the bare persimmon tree above their heads, and they spoke both in a salty and a bit.
There were still persimmons on the persimmon tree a few days ago.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng often waited for rabbits under the tree.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng are pure and boring, but some people really believe that they can wait under the persimmon tree until the sweet persimmons fall into their mouths.
So I waited for a long time under the tree.
As a result, I didn't wait for a persimmon to fall. I was finally angry, holding the persimmon tree and swayed for a long time.
As a result, the persimmons fell over his face.
Then weeping to find Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan ordered the people to knock all the persimmons off the persimmon tree, lest some unscrupulous person would lead the child.
So Kou Ji and the three can only stare at the bare persimmon tree in a daze.
Zhao Zhen looked up at the persimmon tree, and smiled faintly: "I didn't force him to recruit soldiers. He took the initiative to ask for it. He turned his head and offended people, and he was infamy, but I can't blame me."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Lu Yi briefly took the initiative to bear the infamy, we naturally have to follow his wishes."
Zhao Zhen smiled brightly and said, "Lv Yijian not only wants to help me recruit 1.4 million soldiers, but also plans to help me recruit 600,000 civilian husbands, and send them to Liaodi together."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and said in amazement: "It would be great to help you gather two million soldiers and horses, and dare you to promise to recruit another 600,000 civilians? Is he crazy? He is so full of words?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "He said this privately, not in front of me."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you place someone in Lu Mansion?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head, "Didn't you suggest that I don't give Cypriots to the residences of the ministers? So I didn't give Cypriots to the residences of the ministers."
Kou Ji thought about it, and stared at Zhao Zhen with raised eyebrows, "Under Lu Yijian, someone has taken refuge in you."
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, "What does it mean to take refuge in me? Manchu dynasty civil and military are my courtiers. Is there anything wrong with helping me?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "That's because someone wants to have a relationship with you in private, so you have to be careful."
What Kou Ji hates most is this kind of person who makes small reports behind everyone's back.
Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled: "This is not what he was willing to do, but I forced him to do it. Lu Yijian did everything without any leaks, and he has not shown any troubles. I wanted to dismiss him, but I couldn't find a suitable reason.
So when I saw him, I asked him to help me catch Lu Yijian's painful foot. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji immediately realized that he had misunderstood, and held back his words: "Who is so sad that you are forced to do this kind of thing?"
The smile on Zhao Zhen's face disappeared, "Why is it sad to help me do something?"
Kou Jigan smiled and said, "Such things are detrimental to your reputation, but it doesn't sound good."
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "Then you want to know who he is?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, in case I can't control my own mouth one day, I will ruin people's reputation for nothing if I tell the matter.
When people come to me desperately, I am not good to be cruel to them. "
When Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji didn't want to know, he didn't say anything.
A smile reappeared on his face and said: "Lü Yijian helped us do what we want to do, so we can hide aside and enjoy the leisure."
Lv Yijian took the initiative to serve as pawns for Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, helping them to charge into battle, and they were naturally at ease.
"It has achieved the goal, but also saves time and effort..."
Liu Heng whispered.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Liu Heng, "When are you going to Xiyang?"
Zhao Zhen didn't wait to see Liu Heng a little bit.
One is because of the dirty thing that Liu Heng's brother Liu Congmei did before.
The second is because when I was with Liu Heng and Kou Ji, I always felt that my brother was divided in half.
But considering that Liu Heng and him are both sick and pitiful, there is only an older brother like Kou Ji, so he didn't say anything serious.
"After the officials and the fourth brother are finished..."
Liu Heng felt Zhao Zhen's malice, but he didn't reveal it, just whispered back.
Kou Ji interjected: "I just don't know what Lu Yijian can do. If he can help us get everything done.
Then we don't need to be tired. "
When Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's words, he shook his head slightly, "Impossible... The recruitment of soldiers is only a small part of our plan. Although there are difficulties, the difficulties are not great.
The real trouble is other things, any one is enough to overwhelm Lu Yijian. "
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I just said casually... What if there is a miracle."
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "There is no miracle... Brother Si, you should also prepare. After Lu Yijian touches the nail, you should go to court."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry..."
Zhao Zhen turned his head to look at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Qingtang and Jiaozhi have not been resolved yet. After Qingtang and Jiaozhi are resolved, it will not be too late to go to the court."
Zhao Zhen was taken aback for a moment, nodded, and slowly said: "Chen Yaozi came to report the other day, saying that Qingtang has been tossed by the black sweat, and it doesn't look like it. The Qingtang people are under the conquest of the black sweat. , Fled around.
Yuan Shan felt that this was a good opportunity, so he sent someone to discuss with him, preparing to enter Qingtang with him and completely destroy Qingtang.
This matter is extraordinary, so Chen Yaozi specially wrote me to ask me to decide.
I asked Yang Wenguang, and Yang Wenguang said that you are most familiar with Hexi, so let me find you. "
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "Yang Wenguang knew that I was there and that Qingtang had today's situation. It was me who planned it, so he didn't want to go beyond me."
Zhao Zhen nodded, "I just know this, so I didn't embarrass Yang Wenguang. The fourth brother thinks, should I join hands with Yuanshan Department?"
Kou Ji did not rush to answer, but asked: "Are the soldiers and horses in Hexi used to the climate southwest of Qingtang?"
Zhao Zhen replied: "Some people have adapted, but some people are not."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "If someone adapts, then you can do it. The reason why the black sweats were sent to Qingtang to toss the Qingtang people was to buy time for the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty and adapt to the southwest of Qingtang. Climate.
You can join hands with the Yuanshan tribe, but you must send someone to negotiate with the Yuanshan tribe and make it clear where Qingtang belongs. "
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Part of the Qingtang territory is given to Yuanshan Tribe?"
Kou Ji turned his head to look at Zhao Zhen and said bluntly: "It's because of no distinction, so I have to make it clear to them."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Then what will the Yuanshan Tribe send troops?"
Now both the emperor and his minister are absolute hegemonists.
Qingtang is the meatloaf that the monarch and the minister had ordered long ago, and the meatloaf has now come to their lips, how could it be shared with others.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Heihan people and Qingtang people can be given to them. We have played a lot of Qingtang people, and Qingtang people are bound to be hostile to us, so sooner or later, something will happen to us. It is better to let Yuanshan Department received.
As for the black sweats, they are now playing awe-inspiring in Qingtang, and they are afraid that they are wild again.
Sooner or later, keeping it is a scourge, so it's better to send it to Yuanshan Department. "
Zhao Zhen asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that Yuanshan Tribe will completely sit in the Western Regions after digesting the Black Khan and Qingtang people?"
Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Zhen and said, "The officials are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
If Zhao Zhen was afraid of Yuanshan's sitting at the top, he wouldn't be able to laugh when asking about it.
Nowadays, Da Song is not afraid of someone sitting in the big seat.
There are really people who are sitting up, and just have a fight.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "If the Yuanshan Department has been sitting at the big, sooner or later it will become a threat to my Da Song."
Kou Ji pretended to think about it for a while and said, "Give them some support and let them go west. It doesn't matter if they are harming the Tianzhu people or the big cannibals, as long as they don't harm my Da Song."
Going west was when Kou Ji left Hexi, specially reminded Yuanshan.
If Yuanshan is ambitious, after digesting the Qingtang people and the Black Khan people, he must go west.
To the east, he dare not.
Unless Kouji is dead.
As long as Kou Ji is alive, he will not have the idea of going east.
Kou Ji gave him everything and can destroy him everything.
After hearing Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "I hope he can be more interesting and can follow our minds to the west.
If I dare to remember what I said in the Song Dynasty, then I can only disregard the old feelings and send someone to conquer the Yuanshan Tribe. "
Da Song is now at the time when the Bing Feng is the most victorious, and he hits whoever he wants.
So when Zhao Zhen said this, he was extraordinarily leisurely.
Kou Ji sounded very comfortable. He felt that he had worked hard for more than ten years and it was not in vain. He smiled and said, "If the officials feel uneasy, they can send someone to stare at him."
After Kou Ji's cronies withdrew from the Wonsan Department, Kou Ji and Wonsan would not have much to do with each other.
The only thing left is the love between the master and the servant.
If Yuanshan came according to Kou Ji's instructions, the master and servant relationship could continue.
If Yuanshan is not obedient, then Kou Ji no longer has to think about the master and servant relationship.
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, he laughed, "Four brothers really understand me, and I have already decided. As long as Chen Yaozi can conquer Qingtang, I will be in the corner of Qingtang, and I will delineate a fief for him, and let him guard the edge of Yuanshan Mountain. , Put the Yuanshan Department."
Kou Ji was taken aback and hesitated: "Yang Wenguang's credit is not lower than Chen Yaozi's."
Zhao Zhen knew what Kou Ji meant by saying this, he said frankly: "Di Qing has a higher credit. I still want to use them now, so I can only keep them in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.
When they are old, I will naturally have a reward.
There is no one guarding the area outside Wei and the area outside Gu Meng's mansion. "
Hearing this, Kou Ji asked in a deep voice: "The official family does not intend to let future generations to open up the territory?"
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "My Da Song territory is now unprecedentedly vast, and I managed to manage it carefully and conscientiously.
I can't guarantee whether the descendants of my future generations will be able to manage my great Song Dynasty conscientiously.
How can I expect them to open up new territories
If they really have that ability, they must first defeat your descendants one by one.
Only if you can win over your descendants, then they will have the qualifications to open up new territories.
If they are not convinced, what qualifications do they have to open up new territory
It would be good to be able to hold the foundation that I left behind.
What I can do now is to help them manage the situation better.
Leave them a solid foundation. "
When Kou Ji heard this, he was a little bit dumbfounded: "Officials, you say this in front of our two vassals, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I can only speak my heart in front of you."
After saying this, Zhao Zhen turned his head and said: "Even if I don't say this, you still want to get it. After all, we can't do the Lord for future generations and grandchildren."
Kou Ji and Liu Heng nodded together.
Once a person dies, there is nothing left.
There is no way to be the master of the living.
After all, if a person dies, it is possible that he cannot be the master even where he is buried.
After Kou Ji nodded, he said with emotion: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Don't be a beast and horse for your children and grandchildren..."
Zhao Zhen followed: "This is what Liu Heng did the most thorough, better than both of us."
Liu Heng opened his mouth, but made no sound.
Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen, and Liu Heng lay in the bamboo courtyard with emotions about their lives.
However, Lu Yijian was busy from time to time.
Because the number of people he dispatched is enough, the power is also large enough.
Therefore, as soon as his people arrived in Jiangnan and Hedong, they assumed the posture of the Raptors crossing the river.
Then, it was inevitable to pinch with the local wealthy family.
