Wang Zeng died and starved to death without eating or drinking for three days.
When Kou Ji learned of the news, he seemed to have suffered a bolt from the blue and couldn't believe it.
When he rode a horse to the palace, what he saw was white.
Kou Ji rushed into the palace arrogantly, grabbed Wang Yi by the collar and asked sternly, "Why does a good person suddenly die?"
Wang Yi cried bitterly, his eyes swollen like peaches, and he couldn't say a word.
On the contrary, Wang Zeng's old wife, Wang Li, sat calmly, and did not cry or make trouble, probably she had already cried, and her tears had drained.
She answered Wang Yi with a hoarse voice, "Master is for death advice!"
"Dead advice?!"
Kou Ji couldn't believe it.
Suddenly it turned into a full of anger, "For the sake of death, I will kill myself alive?!"
After saying this, Kou Ji ferociously grabbed Wang Yi by the collar and asked angrily: "Why don't you stop? He is stupid and you are stupid!"
"Kou Ji! Enough! Wang Zeng's bones are not yet cold, are you going to bully other widows and orphans?!"
Chen Yaozuo's voice sounded behind Kou Ji.
Kou Ji clenched his fists several times and loosened Wang Yi's collar.
Looking back, I saw Chen Yaozuo standing behind him holding a scroll of imperial decree.
Chen Yaozuo saw that Kou Ji had set his sights on the imperial decree in his hand, and he sighed: "The official has already read Wang Zeng's death memorial.
The official has ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the canonization ceremony.
Order me to come and read the will to the palace. "
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and yelled at the place where Wang Zeng's coffin was placed, "Idiot!"
Chen Yaozuo sighed, "Everyone is dead, so why bother?"
Kou Ji looked at Chen Yaozuo fiercely and asked, "Isn't it?"
Chen Yaozuo only sighed without speaking.
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and left the palace with anger.
Wang Zeng's approach is too extreme.
Kou Ji couldn't stand it.
Kou Ji rushed back to the bamboo courtyard fiercely, rushed all the way to the study, and grabbed Zhao Run who was writing. In Zhao Run's blank expression, he asked angrily, "Do you want to be the emperor?"
Zhao Run looked stunned.
Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Su Jingxian, and Su Shi looked horrified.
Zhao Ze and Di Yong were playing with each other like they were okay.
Seeing Kou Ji's unprecedented anger, Zhao Run swallowed his saliva and whispered: "I... I don't know..."
Kou Ji asked again, "Then what do you want to do?"
Zhao Run shook his head frantically.
Kou Ji clasped his hands and screamed at Zhao Run, "Should I say that you have no ambitions! Or should I say that those two people are selfish! Stupid?!
Obviously you don't know what you want, why they want to bet their lives and push you up!
Is it that you have no choice? Or did they impose it on you? ! "
Zhao Run stared at Kou Ji in horror, with his mouth open, unable to say a word.
Seeing this, Kou Ji angrily threw Zhao Run out of the gate of the study, pointed at Zhao Run who was sitting outside, and said angrily: "Go back to your palace! Think about what you want, come here again! I don't know, you will never come!"
"Master Kou, are you too powerful? The prince dare to fall!"
Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared in front of Kou Ji's study, staring at Kou Ji sadly.
Kou Ji glared at each other, "You also get out of here, or I will let someone hack you to death!"
Chen Lin opened her mouth and wanted to refute it. It can be seen that Kou Ji's unprecedented anger, he still swallowed the words into his stomach.
He knew that Kou Ji dared to speak and absolutely dared to do it.
Chen Lin didn't say a word, and hurriedly left the bamboo courtyard with Zhao Run.
Even Zhao Zhen summoned Kou Ji to enter the palace, but Chen Lin did not convey it.
Kou Ji arrogantly left all the students in his mansion, letting people close the door, and seeing no one.
Kou Ji didn't go when Wang Zeng was given the highest posthumous posthumous title Wen Zheng Gong.
Kou Ji did not go when Wang Zeng entered the soil.
Kou Ji didn't go when Zhao Run was made king of Qi.
When Zhao Run was named the crown prince, Kou Ji did not go.
When someone impeached Kou Ji's domineering, Kou Ji ignored it.
Someone asked to see him, but Kou Ji still ignored it.
Kou Ji was bored in the mansion for a month.
…
In the bamboo courtyard.
Kou Ji was wrapped in fur and lay on a recliner with a brazier in front of him. On the side of the recliner was a low table, and a small red clay stove was placed on the low table. The fire in the small stove was vigorous, and there was a puff sound from time to time. , There is a pottery pot on the flame, and a pot of wine is warmed in the pot.
Kou Ji lay soundly asleep in the recliner.
Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Su Jingxian, and Su Shi sat at their desks neatly, writing math problems set by Kou Ji.
Even Di Yong and Zhao Ze, who like to be naughty and mischievous on weekdays, sit at their desks, copying the Song people’s favorite Feibai body.
Zhao Ze's palm was a little swollen, and it hurt when he held the pen. With tears in his eyes, he gritted his teeth while holding the pen, writing words like a dog crawling crookedly.
This morning, Zhao Ze didn't want to write, and played a childish temper with Kou Ji. Kou Ji caught Zhao Ze's hand, and he was two rulers.
The two Gong Es were about to stop, but Liu Heng has now been put on the book.
Liu Heng and Xiang Yan walked past the entrance of the study from time to time, trying to enter, but hesitated many times, but still did not dare to enter.
Kou Ji was bored in the house for a month.
The person has lost weight, his beard has grown a bit, and his temper has become a bit bigger.
Kou Ji, who seldom punishes people before, now has a stick.
Many maids and servants in the house were beaten by him.
"Uncle, go and persuade you..."
Xiang Yan whispered to Liu Heng with a sad face.
Liu Heng said bitterly, "I'm afraid..."
Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "His martial arts is not as high as you, and he can't beat you."
Liu Heng's expression was even more bitter, "The problem is that he beat me, I don't know how to fight back. I just forgot to use martial arts, and I can't show it."
"It's better for me to persuade..."
The two only cared about Kou Ji, did not pay attention to the yard, and did not realize that Zhao Zhen had reached the entrance of the study.
Xiang Yan and Liu Heng met Zhao Zhen and hurriedly gave a ceremony.
"Fate women see the official house..."
"Caomin see the official house..."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said with a sad expression: "Forget it..."
Xiang Yan and Liu Heng got up, Zhao Zhen whispered to Empress Cao, Zhao Run, and Chen Lin behind them, "You are waiting outside..."
Empress Cao, Zhao Run, and Chen Lin hurriedly agreed.
Zhao Zhenmai stepped into the study.
The four of Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Su Jingxian, and Su Shi were a little confused.
They wanted to give salutes, but looking at Kou Ji, who was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, they couldn't move around. They could only stand there embarrassedly holding a pen, looking at Zhao Zhen with a bitter expression.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and motioned for them to continue studying.
Di Yong looked at Zhao Zhen ignorantly. When Zhao Ze saw Zhao Ze, there were more tears in his eyes. He moved his foot and threw himself into Zhao Zhen's arms to accuse Kou Ji's atrocities.
Kou Ji snorted with eyes closed.
Zhao Ze stiffened, standing there with tears in his tears and continuing to write.
Zhao Zhen walked over to Kou Ji, pulled a seat, and sat beside Kou Ji.
"Four brothers..."
Kou Ji turned over, pretending not to hear Zhao Zhen's call, pretending that he was still asleep.
Seeing this, Zhao Zhen looked bitter.
Zhao Zhen said to Wang Anshi and others: "You go down first."
Wang Anshi and the others hesitated and looked at Kou Ji who was lying on the recliner.
Wang Anshi keenly discovered that the fan in Kou Ji's hand was shaking slightly, and he quickly ordered Su Jingxian and Su Shi to pull Zhao Ze and Di Yong and leave the study together.
Zhao Zhen shouted at the door, "Queen, bring Run'er in."
Empress Cao led Zhao Run into the study.
Zhao Zhen Dama Jindao sat next to Kou Ji, staring at Empress Cao and Zhao Run and said: "Respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao is the foundation of being a disciple. I used to annoy my husband, and my husband would also play the board.
Run'er annoyed the fourth brother and should play the board. "
Zhao Run gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand. Empress Cao pulled out a ruler from his cuff and hit Zhao Run's hand fiercely.
With a crisp sound, it was passed to the study room.
Empress Cao saw that Kou Ji was unmoved, so she gritted her teeth and waved the ruler.
Zhao Run's palm crackled.
"Hey... Enough..."
Kou Ji knew he couldn't pretend, he sighed, opened his eyes, and stood up.
"Chen Kou Ji, see the official family, see the empress, see your Royal Highness..."
Kou Ji bowed and saluted the three.
Zhao Zhen forced Kou Ji to sit down and said, "You and my brother are worthy, don't talk about these monarchs and ministers in private."
Kou Ji held the pu fan and did not speak.
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "I didn't force Wang Zeng to die, and I never thought that Wang Zeng would die."
Kou Ji slowly closed his eyes and said, "I know... No one forced Wang Zeng, Wang Zeng was stupid by himself."
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "If I knew that Wang was so strong, I wouldn't be angry with him."
Kou Ji faintly said: "I don't have many elders, Wang Zeng is one..."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "I am also..."
Kou Ji opened his eyes to look at Zhao Run, and asked faintly: "I remember I said, when you think about what you want, then enter this door.
Now that you have entered this door, you must already know what you want? "
Zhao Run gritted his teeth and nodded.
Kou Ji sighed, "For you, the two pillars of the country are gone. What you want, it is best for them to please their hearts."
Zhao Run stared at Kou Ji, and said with a heavy voice: "I want to be the prince!"
Kou Ji also didn't shy away from Zhao Zhen being by his side. He squinted his eyes with a smile and asked, "It's just the prince?"
Zhao Run pursed his lips and said nothing.
Kou Ji continued to smile and said: "It doesn't matter if you have a higher ambition. Your father will not blame you, and no one will spread the matter.
As long as you speak out, I can assist you.
Your father can testify, and what I have said will definitely be fulfilled.
I said that I would assist your father to fight a beautiful scene, so I assisted your father to fight a beautiful scene. "
Kou Ji's words were obviously a bit rebellious, but none of them refuted it.
Everyone's eyes are on Zhao Run.
Zhao Run felt three hot gazes, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Under the gaze of the three people, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I! Want! Damn! Too! Son!"
Zhao Zhen smiled lightly, and Empress Cao also smiled lightly.
Only Kou Ji still squinted his eyes and said: "Then if you are a prince all your life, would you like it too?"
Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao were taken aback.
Zhao Zhen thoughtfully, and Empress Cao looked puzzled.
Zhao Run nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji asked for a pu fan and smiled calmly: "You are already a prince, and you are still clamoring to be a prince. That's nonsense."
Zhao Run was a little confused.
Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao looked at each other and gave a wry smile.
Kou Ji bowed her hand to Empress Cao, "I'm sorry the Empress Empress takes the prince to wait outside the study. The minister and the official have important things to discuss."
Empress Cao nodded and took Zhao Run out of the study.
As soon as the two left, Kou Ji collapsed on the recliner.
"Can't his ambition be bigger? I wasted the lives of the two pillars of the country. Before Wang Zeng died, he wrote me a letter and asked me to help him at a critical time."
Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand, sat there with a grin, curled his mouth and said: "I am still strong and strong now. If he wants to be the emperor, what shall I do?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and said, "You can never lead him to warn me?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said bluntly: "As long as you want to sit in that position, no one in the world can shake. Who shakes me and kills.
So things like Bingjian can't happen.
I will only advise you to give up the throne when you are old and weak.
The beautiful name is: help on the horse, get a ride.
I think about it.
In order to ensure the long-term stability of the Song Dynasty, to ensure the inheritance of the Song Dynasty for thousands of years, to ensure that the person sitting on the dragon chair always thinks of the British Lord, in order to keep the Song Dynasty enterprising, and to make the Song Dynasty change the throne and no longer see swordsmen... "
Kou Ji said a lot of'for'.
Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded.
After Kou Ji finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Zhen and smiled: "Why, your heart moved?"
Zhao Zhen didn't conceal it, nodded and said, "When I am old, if I am not confused, I will give way when I hear what you say.
Just letting the Song Dynasty change the throne without seeing the swordsman is enough to make my heart move.
Not to mention the others.
In the past, the eight emperors rebelled, and the great emperor burned the palace on fire.
I still have no way to forget.
So if there is a way to prevent blood from being seen in the palace, I don't mind giving it a try. "
Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and smiled: "Others hold the power, and they are not willing to let go. How can you be so open-minded?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and smiled: "Seeing all the loyal ministers and good generals, for the sake of our country, gave up power, life, and fame. What can I not bear
Had it not been for them to support my backbone, I would have collapsed.
I was afraid to be sorry for them, so when they were admonishing, I dared not get angry easily.
I'm afraid to be sorry for them, so I work diligently when dealing with state affairs.
I'm afraid to be sorry for them, so I work hard to be a good emperor.
If I were not an emperor, I would be more comfortable than being an emperor.
I don’t have to worry about drinking a bowl of mutton soup. The folks will squeeze out a lot more.
I don't have to work day and night for the Great Song Jiangshan Sheji.
I don't have any burdens on my body, I don't have any thoughts in my heart.
More importantly, I can go wherever I want, without being locked in the palace like a canary. "
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said with emotion: "You just know that when the emperor was too tired, too hard, and too tormented, so when I wanted to pass the position to you, you were not tempted, but you also drew me. A slap, right?"
Kou Ji nodded without hesitation, "The stupidest thing in the world is to rush to be the emperor. It seems that he has gained great authority, but he has lost more."
Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "But the emperor's authority is really great!"
Kou Ji smiled and asked, "Can you control outside the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Zhen looked stunned.
Kou Ji continued to laugh and said: "The Song Dynasty is very big, and it is even bigger outside the Song Dynasty. There are many landless areas outside the Song Dynasty, and you can occupy a piece of it. Being a mountain king is far more comfortable than being an emperor."
Zhao Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, "It seems that I am the right to appoint you as King of Han."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "The title of the king is okay, just like a fief. I will not be able to go out and grab a piece of land when I grow old.
Zhao Zhen laughed.
"It's like I want to keep you by my side. I just want to see you anytime and anywhere I want to see you, so I'm sealing you in Korea."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "I am not your royal slave."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "But you are my closest brother!"
Kou Ji sighed, "Are you going to eat me?"
Zhao Zhen smiled brightly and said: "This is what I discovered, the only advantage of being an emperor."
Kou Ji sighed again.
Zhao Zhen laughed for a long time before slowly reducing his smile, and then said to Kou Ji with great interest: "Fourth brother, in another month, it will be New Year's Day.
I plan to take advantage of the New Year's Day, when all the yamen in the government and the public are closed, and release the rest of the law together.
By the beginning of spring next year, all the laws and regulations have been laid down.
It's done, and some people won't be able to oppose it. "
Kou Ji pondered and asked, "How much is left?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Less than one-tenth..."
Kou Ji said in surprise: "So few?"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "This is due to you and your disciples. All of your disciples are talented. After realizing my intentions, they frantically helped me find the omissions in the law and help me frantically. I enforce the law.
Of course, the most important thing is you, fourth brother, you stay in the house and stay at home.
Everyone in the ruling and opposition parties knows that your anger has reached Tianling Gai.
No one dares to touch your brows at this time, for fear that you will leave the house in a rage and kill a person. "
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "Am I that scary?"
Zhao Zhen nodded seriously and said: "Yes!"
Kou Ji groaned: "I shouldn't! I always think I'm kind to people."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Ding Wei, the Eighth Emperor, Li Deming, Li Yuanhao, Yelu Longxu, Yeluzong really heard you, I am afraid they will cry."
Koti smiled dryly: "Since I am so terrible, why is there anyone in the court impeaching me?"
Zhao Zhen sighed and said: "It is Chen Yaozuo who impeached you. The old man handed over the memorial to impeach you and the memorial to the bones of beggars, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "It seems that he is sincerely asking to go."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "He wants to use your hand to leave the court."
Kou Ji sighed: "As soon as he left, the veterans in the court were left with Song You, Chen Yaozi, and Wang De. Under the three of them, the oldest is probably Fan Zhongyan..."
Zhao Zhen nodded his head and said, "Song Yang also wanted to go."
Kou Ji frowned and said: "Did you discuss it?"
Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, and said: "It doesn't look like... It should be Fan Zhongyan and others who put pressure on them, and then Wang Zeng's death and Chen Yaozuo's begging for bones caused them to retreat."
Kou Ji sighed faintly, "There will be talents from generation to generation, and the new generation will replace the old."
Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "We also had the day when we were replaced."
Kou Ji said lightly: "Everyone has that day."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It has been a long time since you and I were replaced."
Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "So we have to hurry up and finish everything we have to do."
Zhao Zhen nodded afterwards.
The monarch and the minister looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Zhao Zhen entered the bamboo courtyard with a sad face, and left the bamboo courtyard with a smile.
Zhao Run was left in the bamboo courtyard.
Everyone thought that when Zhao Zhen was on the move, Kou Ji would definitely appear in the court.
But since Zhao Zhen left Kou Ji's bamboo courtyard, Kou Ji did not appear in the court hall or even out of the bamboo garden until the New Year's Day.
When the New Year's Day is approaching.
Zhao Zhen summoned Fan Zhongyan and others to Shishitang and gave them the remaining laws to be revised.
When Fan Zhongyan and others saw the new version of the law, they knew that Zhao Zhen's reformation law was nearing completion, and that Zhao Zhen had let go of their wariness against them and completely regarded them as his own.
Jane is in the emperor's heart, to them is the greatest encouragement.
So they took advantage of a few days before the New Year holiday, and quickly implemented the new version of the law that Zhao Zhen handed over to them.
Everything was done quietly, without fanfare.
On the contrary, the feudal lords who came to pay the tribute were a bit fanfare.
Cao used twelve white elephants all over the body, each of them wearing golden armor, like war elephants.
Thousands of people were onlookers when they entered the city.
The Liuqi Cao family sent people to send three giant whales, each of which was huge.
What Zhu Neng sent was a golden Buddha that stood tall.
What Yuanshan sent up was a huge golden sculpture, which was inlaid with precious stones. It was dazzling in the sun, and the flashing people couldn't open their eyes.
The gift Li Zhaoliang gave was relatively more elegant, one piece of Tianzhu Buddha's phalanx relic and three bay leaf sutras.
The gift Gao Weizhao gave was a bit simple, six hard-earned BMWs. It looked a little monotonous, but it was very valuable.
The gifts from Zhong Shiheng were more vulgar, one hundred and eight women from the country of Japan who had undergone careful sex.
Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu sent a large ship together.
A big ship far surpassing all the big ships of the Song Dynasty.
The big ship has been out of the scope of the ship.
The big ship docked outside Dengzhou, and only a model made of ivory was sent to the city of Bianjing.
All gifts entered Beijing with great fanfare.
All the gifts entering Beijing are eye-catching and attract tens of thousands of people to watch.
"Be courteous and people must ask for something... But they really picked a good time... Wang Zeng, it's not time for you to die..."
Kou Ji sighed after learning that the princes had sent a heavy gift.
The reason why Kou Ji praised them for giving gifts was a good time, because Zhao Zhen had his 30th birthday this year, and they did not catch up with Zhao Zhen's birthday, but at the end of the year, they all offered generous gifts.
In this way, as long as the request is not excessive, Zhao Zhen should be able to agree.
