Zhao Zhen is not Liu Che. He cannot embarrass the generals and soldiers under his hand for a few horses.
So when he understood the whole story, he almost didn't ask what was special about the horses contributed by the grass head king.
Instead, he was all about his generals.
After Yang Wenguang responded to Zhao Zhen, he bowed again and launched the chamber.
As soon as Yang Wenguang left, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were left in the chamber.
Zhao Zhen got up, stretched slightly, and said to Kou Ji with a smile: "Fourth brother has discovered that after the implementation of the new system, you and I have almost lost 60% to 70% of the comments.
In the past, the two of you commented and reviewed the memos, and it took a whole day to read a batch.
Now it has been processed in just three hours. "
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The hardworking man governs others, and the hardworking man governs others. As the first person in the Song Dynasty, officials do not need to put everything on the desk and handle them personally.
The minor matters are handled by the people below, and the officials only need to deal with the major matters.
Those who have done meritorious deeds are rewarded, and those who have defied are punished.
Officials only need to be able to grasp the nine chief and adjuncts of the Council of Political Affairs, Council of Information, and Privy Council.
Control the power of life and death, and hold on to the promotion and dismissal of officials.
Da Song will naturally hold it firmly in the hands of the official. "
Zhao Zhen nodded in agreement.
Zhao Zhen in history is kind, indeterminate, and unconstrained.
Today's Zhao Zhen is generous, kind and domineering.
He had no objection to what Kou Ji said to hand over the small things to the people below.
He did not think that this act was looting his imperial power.
Instead, he felt that this move was helping him to share the pressure.
Zhao Zhen didn't worry about whether the people below would use this to empty him.
The separation of the three powers of the three-three system essentially means mutual restriction.
The three highest power sects in the court are mutually restrictive.
The political affairs institute and the capital affairs institute may still be entangled.
However, the Privy Council will definitely not confuse the Council of Political Affairs and the Council of Management.
They are natural rivals, and they have become natural rivals from the moment they are clear.
There is no possibility of reconciliation, and even if it is temporary reconciliation, struggle will erupt soon.
Therefore, no matter if any one of the three power sects is big, Zhao Zhen can support the other sect, or the other two sects can deal with him.
Therefore, both his throne and the imperial power in his hands are stable, unprecedentedly stable.
So he is not at all worried that sharing the emperor's power will become a puppet emperor.
Kou Ji always felt that kindness and dominance were reflected in a person.
But benevolence and domineering were perfectly reflected in Zhao Zhen.
The kindness and dominance developed by Kou Ji ** are a perfect fusion of the kindness that grew up in the hands of women since childhood.
A new Zhao Zhen was born.
Zhao Zhen instructed Chen Lin to move out the recliners of himself and Kou Ji, and after removing the major office case, he instructed Chen Lin to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal.
When the royal cook of the imperial dining room was busy following Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's favorite dishes, Zhao Zhen was lying next to Kou Ji and whispered.
"Fourth brother, you said that Xu'er has been standing for six or seven years, and she has become an old girl. If you don't find him a husband's house, will it be ruined for a lifetime."
When Kou Ji heard what Zhao Zhen said, he was taken aback for a moment, and said in doubt: "The official family didn't care about this in the past, so why did you mention it suddenly?"
Zhao Zhen sighed for a long time, "When I went to the Queen’s Palace a few days ago to fulfill my filial piety, I ran into Princess Du. Toffee was already full of white hair.
When I saw the old look of the concubine, I thought of Xuer.
I remembered that Xu'er had passed and stood for a long time, and I was not happy before getting married.
I am rich in the world, but I can't give Xuer a happy marriage.
My emperor's brother is somewhat incompetent. "
Kou Ji groaned: "Xu'er may already have a sweetheart, but it's not broken..."
Zhao Zhen immediately sat up and asked, "Who, why can't it be broken? Does the other party already have a wife? I made an order to die, all Xuer's thoughts were taken."
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
The emperor's power is like this, if you let you die, you have to die, and it doesn't make any sense at all.
Kou Ji said angrily: "The minister said maybe... not sure..."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, lay down again, and said, "That means, Xuer has no sweetheart. Since Xuer is uncertain, then I will help him choose.
I turned around and asked Chen Lin to compile a book of all the young talents from the government and the opposition, and send it to Xu'er for selection. "
Kou Ji sighed in his heart, considering whether to tell Zhao Zhen about Bao Zheng and Zhao Xu's affair.
however.
As soon as Zhao Zhen's next sentence came out, Kou Ji immediately dispelled the idea.
"Fourth brother, how do you think Bao Zheng, the Secretary of Criminal Law, will send the booklet for the election of his son-in-law?"
Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and asked with a smile.
Kou Ji rolled his eyes.
Zhao Zhen obviously knew that Bao Zheng had affection for Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu did not dislike him, so he said this.
Kou Ji said angrily: "Since you know, why play with the minister?"
Zhao Zhen curled his lips and said, "I knew about this a long time ago. I knew about it when Bao Zheng wrote to Xu'er all day long.
After I am willing to enter Beijing for Bao Zheng, I will risk my death to find you, or find me to marry Xuer.
Can wait and wait, and can't wait for Bao Zheng to marry Xuer.
I don't think Bao Zheng is like a man.
There is no courage at all. "
Kou Ji faintly said: "In my Song Dynasty, marrying a princess is not a beauty."
Zhao Zhen patted the armrest of the reclining chair and sat up, and shouted, "Who said that? I am the king of the Great Song Dynasty. Is marrying a princess a good job? I have the final say, or those gossips in the court have the final say?"
Kou Ji said earnestly: "I have a clear text in Song Dynasty, and my relatives must not be involved in politics."
Zhao Zhen disdainfully said: "The harem has been involved in politics, and there are few foreign relatives involved in politics? It is not an iron law on the head of Taizu, Taizong, and the first emperor. When it comes to my head, it becomes an iron law
When I am a bully? "
Kou Ji bluntly said: "After the officials cleared the imperial relatives and relatives in the dynasty, and set the rules for three generations, the decree concerning the imperial relatives and relatives was naturally treated as iron law by the civil and military officials.
If the officials don't want to turn back, and don't want the emperor's relatives to resurrect, it's really not a bad rule. "
Zhao Zhen coldly hummed: "I will not let Bao Zheng be included in the genealogical jade disc and their children will not be included in the genealogical jade disc. Are they still relatives of the emperor?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, thinking about it: "It's okay, but it's okay, but it's easy to be criticized."
Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "How does the fourth brother think that he will not be accused of being accused?"
Kou Ji sighed and said nothing.
Zhao Zhen seemed to have thought of something, and his face was a bit ugly and said, "Let Xu'er be removed?"
Zhao Zhen hardly hesitated and said, "Impossible! It is already a grace for my sister to get off her car, so she should remove her registration first, and then get off her car
When was the royal princess so humble? "
Zhao Zhen pointed to the meeting hall and said angrily: "My sister, one of the most noble people in the world, for a few gossips, I must stay humble and humble
Then what emperor should I be? "
Kou Ji calmly said: "After all, we still have to follow Xu'er's ideas. Officials can't force Xu'er, right?"
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
That is, Zhao Zhen and Zhao Xu's brothers and sisters have a deep relationship. If they are another princess, Zhao Zhen will never care about their thoughts.
It is even more impossible to shame the imperial majesty.
"Chen Lin?!"
"The servants are here!"
"Quickly draw up the selection of son-in-law and send it to the Criminal Law Department. I want to see if Bao Zheng has this responsibility. If he is not responsible, don't want to marry my sister.
My sister should be married to a distinguished person, not a rat who has no responsibility. "
"Slaves follow the order."
"..."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Bao Zheng is not bad..."
Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "If he is responsible, I don't mind protecting him arrogantly. Future generations should follow suit and do something greater than ours first.
I will establish an ancestral system and warn future generations that the rules set by the ancestors can be changed.
But you must make a deed that is not lost to the ancestors. "
Kou Ji hesitated and wanted to speak.
Zhao Zhen immediately added, "The ancestral system is the ancestral system, and the law is the law. I am very clear in my heart. I will distinguish it later.
When I look back, I will re-draw the ancestral system, and try to limit the scope of the ancestral system to the royal family.
The officials and the people should be controlled by the law, not by the ancestral system.
I can see very clearly that the law must be constantly supplemented and corrected in order to make my Song Dynasty continue to prosper.
So I will never let the ancestral system affect the law.
It will not give future generations of pedantic ministers the opportunity to block the revision of the law through the ancestral system. "
Zhao Zhen said what he said, what else can Kou Ji say, he can only bow his hand, and exclaimed: "The official wise..."
When Zhao Zhen heard the words, his anger had gone halfway, and he stared at Kou Ji and said: "Four brothers don't think there is any omission in my decision? What if there is something unfavorable to Song Dynasty?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "There must be a standard for the strong master to win the ancestor. If not, then the descendants of the world will make a little insignificant credit and say that it is too shameful to make the strong master win the ancestor.
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense, I will think deeply about this..."
Zhao Zhen was deeply moved by Kou Ji's words.
For example, his father didn't make any contribution, so he was deceived by traitorous officials to go to Dongfeng and Xisi, and the result was that Dongfengxi was stupefied.
He was embarrassed to speak to the officials when he wanted to go to Mount Tai.
If the descendants of future generations kill one or two little thieves, and pretend that the strong master wins the ancestor, then Zhao Zhen can crawl out of the mausoleum angrily.
After Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji discussed the matter, they didn't get too entangled in this matter.
Zhao Zhen sent someone to urge, and the royal meal prepared by the royal dining room was delivered to the chamber.
Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji had a meal together and chatted for a while before Zhao Zhen let Kou Ji go out of the palace.
After Kou Ji swayed to the bamboo courtyard in a carriage, he saw Bao Zheng standing alone in front of the bamboo courtyard.
Bao Zheng held a booklet in one hand and a brocade box in the other.
Kou Ji got out of the carriage and called out, "Bao Zheng?"
"Mr!"
"The student has met Mr."
Bao Zheng rushed to Kou Ji and bowed to salute.
Kou Ji nodded, as a response to Bao Zheng. His eyes fell on the booklet Bao Zheng was holding. He saw the royal pattern on it, and exclaimed: "Chen Lin can do things so fast..."
Bao Zheng looked at Kou Ji seriously.
Kou Ji squinted and sighed, "I never told the official about you and Zhao Xu. Because the official knew earlier than I did.
It should be the female officer next to Zhao Xu who had leaked the news. "
When Bao Zheng heard this, he hurriedly bent down and said: "The student did not mean to be disrespectful to her husband. The student knew that this matter could not be concealed from the official, the student just wanted to ask the husband to help the student."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "Do you want me to help you hold off for a few more days until you make up your mind? You should understand that the official's order in front of me, I didn't stop it, and it won't be difficult to stop it later.
Although the official's move was a bit abrupt.
But neither you nor Zhao Xu are young anymore.
Can't afford to delay.
I don't want the two of you to be delayed forever, so I didn't stop it. "
When Bao Zheng heard this, he gritted his teeth slightly and said in a deep voice: "Even so, please give the brocade box to Xuer. The contents of the brocade box are Bao Zheng's wishes.
If Xuer agrees, the students will come to the door tomorrow to ask her husband and wife to be the masters of the students.
If Xuer doesn't agree, the students will come back in three days. "
Kou Ji raised his brows, "Decided?"
Bao Zheng nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji said seriously: "You have to think clearly, once you make a decision, your official career is likely to be gone."
Bao Zheng said solemnly: "Students can't let go, so even if they are out of official career, students have to admit it."
Kou Ji asked, "Isn't there no regrets?"
Bao Zheng smiled bitterly: "Students say no complaints and no regrets, do you believe me?"
Kou Ji shook his head.
Bao Zheng sighed and said: "Students are not greedy for power, students just want to do something for the people."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "I know what you think. But you shouldn't think about the problem with ordinary people's thinking. Not being upset in the court does not mean that you cannot do things for the people.
To develop a discipline and establish a context can not only contribute to the people, but also to the descendants of future generations.
The credit for it is much greater than that of your ups and downs in the court.
Planting a crop and building a farm tool can benefit all generations.
Everyone in the world thinks that only by standing in the court can you achieve great deeds and do great things. This idea is somewhat refuted. "
After Bao Zheng heard Kou Ji's words, he gave an initiation.
Bao Zheng gave a deep salute to Kou Ji, "Students understand..."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded and said, "But there are still grievances and regrets?"
Bao Zheng raised his head and smiled: "If you can be with your beloved white head, the students will have no complaints or regrets."
Koj laughed loudly.
"Give me something, go back and wait for news."
Bao Zheng handed the brocade box to Kou Ji, bowed and left.
Kou Ji turned to the back of Bao Zheng's departure, and said with a smile: "From this alone, you can see that you are much better than Wen Yanbo's official fan."
After saying this, Kou Ji said with emotion: "Anyone who can enter the court as an official can be called a virtuous minister, but he cannot be called a great virtue. A virtuous person can live in a high hall for the people, or be humbled into the earth for the people.
Those who can afford authority and can't let go, even if they shine through the ages, are not considered great virtues.
Even if there are only a few words in the history books, who can afford authority and let go, they are worthy of praise through the ages, and they are more qualified to be called a great virtue. "
Just like those of later generations who do not seek fame and fortune, they have been silently paying for national defense behind their backs. There are very few people with prominent reputations.
Most of them have been unknown, and were not mentioned until after the ancients.
It will soon fade out of people's vision, and even be forgotten.
l Only Fukuzawa's achievements are left.
In this way, it can be regarded as a great virtue.
Kou Ji couldn't become such a great virtue, because he couldn't make selfless dedication.
In everything he does, he must have something to ask for, and he also pursues rewards and fame and fortune.
Among his many students, the one who can do selfless dedication is probably Bao Zheng alone.
Therefore, he felt that it was necessary for him to promote Bao Zheng's marriage, so that Bao Zheng could be a beloved person, with the same heart.
Kou Ji is also Zhao Xu's husband. He knows what Zhao Xu wants and what Zhao Xu lacks.
So Kou Ji wanted to be a villain. He wanted to open Bao Zheng's brocade box to see if Zhao Xu was satisfied with what Bao Zheng had prepared.
Kou Ji took the brocade box into the mansion, did not go to Zhao Xu, but went to a side hall and opened the brocade box.
There is no lacquer seal on the brocade box, and Bao Zheng seems not afraid of being seen.
Kou Ji, as Bao Zheng's husband, Bao Zheng's elders, is also reasonable to help Bao Zheng check.
Kou Ji only glanced at it, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Inside the brocade box is a set of jewellery inlaid with gold and jade, and there are inscriptions in the box, which are made by everyone.
Great value.
"True love..."
Kou Ji exclaimed sincerely.
If it weren't for true love, how could Bao Zheng abandon the principle and spend such a huge price to purchase this set of valuable jewelry.
After all, Bao Zheng gave in.
Although this thing is vulgar, it is a promise from Bao Zheng to Zhao Xu.
Bao Zheng used this to tell Zhao Xu, "Although I am frugal, I am willing to give everything to support you. '
Kou Ji closed the brocade box and pursed his lips: "Bao Zheng made a concession. It depends on whether Zhao Xu is worthy of Bao Zheng's concession."
Kou Ji took the brocade box and went to the backyard to find Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu looked suspicious when seeing Kou Ji carrying a brocade box in his hand.
Kou Ji handed the brocade box to Zhao Xu, "Bao Zheng asked me to pass it to you."
Zhao Xu heard that it was a gift from Bao Zheng, and the brocade box did not look like a bargain.
Zhao Xu accepted the brocade box and stood there for a long time holding the brocade box.
Kou Ji calmly stared at Zhao Xu for a long time.
After a long time.
Zhao Xu slowly picked up the brocade box and said to Kou Ji with a bright smile: "Sir, it should be the last precious gift I have received in my life, right?"
Kou Ji was taken aback, feeling a little uncomfortable inexplicably.
Kou Ji understood what Zhao Xu said.
Bao Zheng chose to give in once and opened Zhao Xu's heart.
Zhao Xu chose to make concessions for the rest of his life.
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, and said, "You can not accept..."
Zhao Xu laughed softly: "Why don't you take it? I like it. Although I was born in the royal family, I am not the kind of person who is not used to living a hard life.
I can live the life of fine clothes and jade food.
I am also used to eating coarse tea and light rice. "
Kou Ji suddenly felt a little embarrassed, just now he wanted to help Bao Zheng test Zhao Xu.
But Zhao Xu's words made him understand.
He seems to be a villain in vain.
Kou Ji whispered: "You've grown up..."
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "You just know... Now that I go out, people are calling me old girl."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Don't call you Mr. Brother from now on..."
Zhao Xu nodded heavily, with a bright smile on his face, but tears burst into his eyes.
The world is noble to her, but she doesn't know that her life is actually very difficult.
She is not afraid of hard times, she is afraid of hardships.
"Wait when I go back, I will go into the palace to see the official."
Kou Ji waved his hand at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu shook his head stubbornly.
"Brother, let me enter the palace."
Kou Ji was taken aback, and said solemnly: "The officials will get angry!"
Zhao Xu smiled and shook his head, "I'm not afraid..."
Kou Jichang sighed, shook his head and smiled: "It's fine, it's up to you. Just do what you want. The sky is falling down, brother will help you carry it."
Zhao Xu nodded heavily, and there were more tears in his eyes.
Kou Ji waved his hand.
Zhao Xu walked out of the bamboo courtyard holding the brocade box.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Xu's leaving back, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhao Heng, you are not a qualified emperor, nor a qualified father.
The kind children have all fallen to your house.
Why don't you treat them well.
Dongfeng Xisi
Xiuxian asked? "
Kou Ji took a deep breath and drank, "It's his mother!"
"master?"
Kou Ji shouted, naturally alarming the people in the house.
The housekeeper was the first to rush to Kou Ji.
Seeing that Kou Ji seemed unhappy, the butler whispered.
Kou Ji glared at the housekeeper, and shouted: "Go to Bao Mansion and ask Bao Zheng to come over."
"Hey..."
The butler agreed, and hurried to the outside of the bamboo courtyard.
He didn't let other people in the house go to spread the word.
He felt that Kou Ji was angry, so he didn't want to anger Kou Ji, so he executed Kou Ji's order without any discount.
Although Kou Ji is very good to the servants in the mansion, it does not mean that he can tolerate the servants to challenge him.
Kou Ji returned to the study and waited for an hour.
Bao Zheng hurried into the study under the guidance of the housekeeper.
"Mr… "
Kou Ji gave Bao Zheng a vicious look, gritted his teeth and said, "If you take her, I will kill you!"
Bao Zheng realized that he was startled by Kou Ji's ferocity, and his body stiffened slightly.
After understanding the meaning of Kou Ji's words, he solemnly said to Kou Ji: "The heart of the student, the sun and the moon can be learned."
Kou Ji shook his sleeves and said, "Go back and prepare things. Tomorrow I will take you into the palace."
Bao Zheng arched his hands and withdrew from the study.
After Bao Zheng left, Kou Ji said to the housekeeper: "Go and tell the lady, let the lady go to Bao's mansion tomorrow, and bring more people."
"The villain understands."
"..."
After Xiang Yan returned to the mansion from the Godsend Qianzhuang, he rushed to Kou Ji's study after hearing the message from the housekeeper. After understanding the whole story, he immediately greeted the people in the mansion to prepare.
Kou Ji sat quietly in the study waiting for news.
At night.
A news came from the palace.
The eldest princess Zhao Xu confronted the officials and was cut off from her position. Except for the genealogy jade disc, she was confined in the palace.
After the news came out, some people were puzzled, some were at a loss, some were sad, some had tears in their eyes, and some were indifferent.
After Kou Ji learned the news, he sighed quietly, "Silly girl, silly girl..."
In all kinds of complicated moods, the people in Bianjing City had a difficult night.
Before dawn the next day, Bao Zheng stared at a pair of panda eyes and appeared outside the bamboo courtyard.
