After Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen discussed the matter of reforming the official system, they went to Xiao Wan on the edge of the imperial garden, and took Kou Tian out of the palace in the reluctance of Princess Baoqing.

Out of the palace gate.

Father and son sat in a carriage.

Kou Tianci suddenly spoke, "Dad, when I enter the palace in the future, can I ignore those eunuchs and palace maids." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, "They bullied you?" ”

Kou Tianci frowned and said, "What I brought into the palace, they always have to taste it first." The sugar man I brought into the palace was covered in their saliva. Every time I went to see Baoqing, I had to try my best to scrape their saliva clean before I dared to give it to Baoqing. ”

Kou Ji stared at Kou Tianci strangely, "You feel sorry for Baoqing?" ”

Kou Tianci said in disgust: "I'm just afraid of trouble...... There is also a few of them licking around at a sugar man, which is very disgusting. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "That's how it is in the palace, unless you don't bring food for Baoqing." Otherwise, you can't escape their mouths, that's the rule. ”

Kou Tianci said with a straight face: "I hate this rule. ”

Koji laughed.

After laughing, Kou Ji said to Kou Tianci: "Why are you so good to Baoqing?" ”

Kou Tianci scratched his head and said frankly: "My mother said that I am Baoqing's concubine, and I will take care of Baoqing for the rest of my life." ”

Kou Ji nodded slightly and said, "Yes...... Whose idea was it to paint on Zhang Zhibai's face? ”

"I ......"

Kou Tianci subconsciously replied, and after answering, his eyes widened in astonishment.

He hurriedly looked at Kou Ji, and saw Kou Ji's gloomy face and stretched out his hand to him.

"Daddy...... I was wrong......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Kou Ji grabbed Kou Tianci and punched him in the ass.

Kou Tianci was beaten and screamed.

When he returned to the house, Kou Tianci's ass was swollen.

Kou Tianci ran to complain to Xiang Yan, but was grabbed and spanked by Xiang Yan again.

Kou Tianci and Liu Boxu painted things on Zhang Zhibai's face, which is indeed excessive, they should be educated and let them improve their memory.

……

After Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen decided to change the official system, Zhao Zhen discussed the matter with Lu Yijian and the others.

After some discussion, it was finally decided to start with the Taoist officials and the temples in the world.

Its purpose is to clear the world's Taoist officials, and to find out the fertile fields occupied by temples.

Lu Yijian and the three of them were responsible for playing this matter in the court.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji were in charge of the hands.

After the discussion is completed.

One day in the morning.

Zhang Zhibai came out of class and said: "Official, since the establishment of Taoist officials in my dynasty, Taoist officials from all over the country have made a fortune by virtue of their status. There are those who encroach on people's land, those who put money in prints, and those who resell people.

What's more, they used temples to cover up and build secret prostitution parlors.

When the first emperor was in the court, he punished the Taoist officials of the world.

The same was true when Kou Gong was in charge.

However, the Taoist officials were not completely deposed because of this, and there are still remnants.

Therefore, the minister implored the official family to completely depose the Taoist official, and the local government to check all the temples in the world.

Guilty of adultery shall be imprisoned.

The property of the land shall be distributed to the poor people of the locality.

The money from the investigation should be charged into the treasury and used by the imperial court to promote Mongolian learning.

At the same time, the monks and monks strictly censored the temples of the world.

The imperial court can issue degrees to practitioners who have not committed adultery.

The wild monks and demons who are unbridled should be arrested. ”

As soon as Zhang Zhibai's words came out, the government and the opposition were stunned.

Some people think that Zhang Zhibai is doing death.

If these words are spread, Zhang Zhibai will not be hated by the cultivators in the world.

Among those people, there are those who have good hearts, and there are also evil people who like to go off the rails.

After Kou Ji previously exposed the erysipelas incident, he killed some people and was assassinated.

Zhang Zhibai now wants to take away people's money and control people's qualifications to become monks, and people must not fight with him.

Although the ministers of civil and military affairs felt that Zhang Zhibai was dying, no one opened their mouths to refute the matter.

Because of the interests of the monks, it has nothing to do with the ministers of civil and military affairs.

They didn't care at all what the court did with the monks.

So Zhang Zhibai went out of the class to ask for this matter.

None of the civil and military ministers said anything, but they all stared at Zhao Zhen, waiting for Zhao Zhen's reply.

Zhao Zhen said with a deep face: "The temples in the world are really so unbearable? ”

Zhang Zhibai bowed and said, "If the official family doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." ”

Zhao Zhen pondered and said: "Anyway, it won't take much effort, so let the criminal Cao of the yamen at all levels investigate this matter well." If it is really as Aiqing said, then it should naturally be cleaned up.

If not, it should be a reprimand to them. ”

"The Book of the Criminal Department?"

Zhao Zhen shouted.

The secretary of the criminal department slowly came out of class.

"The minister is here!"

Zhao Zhen instructed: "After you go down, send this matter to the criminal authorities at all levels, and let them all go to investigate." ”

The criminal department Shangshu respectfully agreed.

After the criminal department Shangshu agreed, Zhao Zhen no longer mentioned the matter.

It was as if he was dealing with a trivial political matter.

No one in the civil and military ministers deliberately mentioned this matter.

After the next dynasty.

As usual, the ministers of civil and military affairs left the vertical arch hall in twos and threes.

It's just that before they left the Vertical Arch Hall, they all glanced at Zhang Zhibai with complicated expressions.

Zhang Zhibai looked indifferent, as if he didn't see their eyes.

Kou Ji has been guarding the door of the vertical arch hall, and after Zhang Zhibai came out, he greeted him.

"Gong Zhang, I will send a team of men and horses to guard your integrity."

Kou Ji walked up to Zhang Zhibai and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Zhibai said with a smile: "No, some young people don't dare to hurt the old man." ”

Kou Ji said solemnly: "That's not a small night. Many of them thought they were outsiders, so they didn't care about the king's law. If you really start going crazy, you won't care what you are. ”

"Kou Ji is right, those people are crazy, and no one recognizes it."

The king went out of the door of the arched hall and said solemnly.

Lu Yijian followed and walked out, and said, "The left and right are just some guards, it is only good for you, there is no harm, you just let them follow." If you make any mistakes, the face of the court will be lost. ”

Zhang Zhibai, under the persuasion of Kou Ji and the others, finally agreed to Kou Ji's proposal.

Kou Ji left the Vertical Arch Hall and immediately went to the Privy Council, through which he mobilized a group of good men in the army and rushed to Zhang's Mansion to protect Zhang Zhibai.

Don't look at Zhang Zhibai in the court today, he just said a few words lightly.

The risks hidden inside are very large.

Among the monks, there are countless people with great intelligence, and there are also countless crazy people who dare to do anything when their heads are hot.

Zhang Zhibai's simple words offended a large group of madmen.

After Kou Ji mobilized the best players in the army, when he left the Privy Council, he saw people on the streets of Bianjing, discussing Zhang Zhibai's words and deeds in the Vertical Arch Hall today.

Some devout believers have already revealed their disgust for Zhang Zhibai between their words.

Kou Ji'er listened to the chatter of the people on the street, and returned to the Kou Mansion Courtyard.

As soon as you enter the door.

I saw Kou Zhun standing in the front yard.

As soon as Kou Zhun saw Kou Ji, he glared and shouted, "You guys are so bold?!" ”

Kou Ji saluted Kou Zhun first and said with a smile: "Why did Grandfather say this? ”

"Do you dare to move?"

Kou Zhun glared angrily.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Grandfather is a monk? I remember that when my grandfather was in charge, he suppressed the Taoist officials in the world. ”

Kou Zhun said angrily: "Suppression is suppression, as long as they are not forced to a dead end once, they will not dare to oppose the imperial court." You are now pushing people to a dead end.

There are quite a few crazy people among them.

Once you go crazy, you can do anything.

Zhang Zhibai is too, accompanying you to mess around.

He doesn't want to be clear?

Don't want your life? ”

The smile on Kou Ji's face narrowed slightly, and he said, "If they really dare to make a fuss about Zhang Gong's life, then I dare to directly use soldiers and horses to wash them in blood." ”

Kou Zhun glared and said, "The Three Martial Arts and One Sect also did this, so their fate was not good. ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "They are them, and I am me." ”

Kou Zhun shouted: "The four of them are all emperors. They can't get rid of the cancer in their family, so how can you do it? ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "Just learn from Meng...... It is better for them to obey the will of the court, and not to provoke me, or I will dig up their foundation together. ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Do you want to shake their foundation through Mengxue?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

How Kou Ji influenced the foundation of the monks through Mengxue, Kou Zhun did not know.

But Kou Zhun believed that Kou Ji could do it.

If Kou Ji couldn't do it, he would never say it so confidently.

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "You are not allowed to mess around!" Mengxue has just started and is now budding. If you pay to your family, you will pay to your family, don't involve Mengxue.

Otherwise, Mengxue is likely to be hit hard by this. ”

Although Mengxue was not promoted by Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun attached great importance to Mengxue.

In Kou Zhun's eyes, Mengxue is the foundation for the Great Song Dynasty to become stronger and stronger in the future.

If Kou Ji pulls out Mengxue for use before Mengxue develops and matures, he will never allow it.

Kou Ji said frankly: "Mengxue is really not suitable to be involved now, so I won't use Mengxue for the time being." But if the monks make too much trouble, sooner or later I will dig up their foundation with the help of Mengxue. ”

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "Since you don't plan to use Mengxue now, then the monks make trouble, what can you do to stop it." ”

Kou Ji confessed: "If it affects the promotion of the imperial decree, then I can only send them away." If it doesn't affect the promotion of the imperial decree, then let them make trouble.

As long as the imperial court promotes the decrees that bind them, their words and deeds will be controlled by the imperial court at that time.

At that time, even if they have the ability to reach the sky, they must also listen to the words of the court in a proper manner. ”

Kou Zhun asked, "How sure are you?" ”

Kou Ji asked rhetorically: "I and the official family have removed all the Xiang troops of the Great Song Dynasty and subdivided them into every prefecture and county, how sure do you think I am?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "As early as when you innovated the military system, you had already started to lay out?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Not bad......"

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji up and down, and snorted, "You are really scheming. ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "Don't dare to be!" ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "Even so, the old man still thinks that you are playing with fire. Although the old man has not experienced Zhou Shizong's destruction of Buddha, he has also heard your great-grandfather talk about it.

At that time, the monks did not make much trouble about this.

Zhou Shizong sent soldiers and horses to suppress it countless times before he suppressed the monks.

But within a few years, they were resurrected.

And it's growing very fast.

Now it has become a cancer in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji said faintly: "That's not that Emperor Taizong favored them too much, not only made Daxiangguo Temple a national temple, but also built temples in the world. ”

"Don't criticize Emperor Taizong!"

Kou Zhun had been Zhao Guangyi's courtier, so even if he knew that Zhao Guangyi had done some stupid things, it was impossible for him to say it clearly, let alone let Kou Ji say bad things about Zhao Guangyi in front of him.

Kou Ji pursed his lips and didn't speak again.

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and said, "The old man will always sit in the mansion and restrain the people in the mansion from going out." You send some more guards to the house, and don't let those people make trouble. ”

"Got it......"

Kou Zhun looked at this matter so seriously, and Kou Ji naturally didn't dare to be ambiguous.

Immediately recalled some of the old units living in Ruian Town, and strengthened the guards in the mansion.

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

As soon as Kou Ji opened his eyes, he saw Kou Zhun appear in front of his bed.

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Kou Zhun said with a gloomy face: "Something happened!" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, quickly got up, and asked while getting dressed, "What's wrong?" ”

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhibai's concubine had an affair with someone and was discovered. ”

Kou Ji's eyes narrowed in astonishment.

"Impossible!"

Kou Zhun said coldly: "Nothing is impossible. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, you should know that Zhang Zhibai's family is simple and simple, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen. ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "But it has already happened. ”

Kou Ji hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Kou Zhun said with a gloomy face: "Last night, someone found Zhang Zhibai's concubine in the Guzi Temple in Bianjing City fornicating with someone. After the incident, Zhang Zhibai's concubine hanged herself in the sister-in-law's temple.

Now it is rumored in Bianjing City that Zhang Zhibai played in the court about the hidden prostitutes in the temple, which is his concubine. ”

Kou Ji's brows twisted into a Sichuan character for a moment, "Didn't you say fornication?" Why did you get involved with prostitutes again? ”

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that Zhang Zhibai is poor and unable to support the old and young in the house, and the concubines in the house are forced to go out to fornicate with others, so as to plan some money to supplement the family. ”

Kou Ji was annoyed all of a sudden, "It's just nonsense! ”

Kou Zhun said coldly: "Smart people know that this is nonsense. But the more nonsense it is, the more fierce it is. ”

Kou Ji got out of bed after getting dressed and said, "I'll go to Zhang's mansion to have a look." ”

Kou Zhun didn't stop it, but just reminded: "It's time to go and see, if Zhang Zhibai is depressed because of this, the official family will lose a good minister." ”

Kou Ji walked out and said, "I just rushed to Zhang's Mansion for this matter." ”

Kou Ji went out of the bedroom, and while walking outside the house, he cleaned up his hair, inserted a hairpin, tied up his hair, and went outside the house.

The groom in the house had already prepared the carriage.

After Kou Ji got into the carriage, he went straight to Zhang Zhibai's mansion.

When I arrived at the gate of Zhang Zhibai's mansion, I saw some people hiding their heads and tails looking around in front of Zhang's mansion.

Probably some people who received news, and people who did good deeds.

Before arriving at the door of Zhang Zhibai's mansion, Kou Ji lifted the carriage curtain and drank to those who were hiding in the shadows.

"Get out!"

The people who were hiding in the shadows and looking around saw Kou Ji's face, and they were startled one by one, and they fled from the gate of Zhang's mansion one after another.

Kou Ji arrived at the gate of Zhang's mansion and got out of the carriage.

So he sent the groom up and knocked at the door.

After passing through the ceremony, the gatekeeper of Zhang's Mansion led Kou Ji to the main hall of Zhang's Mansion.

Not long after Kou Ji sat in the main hall, Zhang Zhibai appeared in the main hall.

Zhang Zhibai didn't have too many negative expressions on his face, it seemed that the woman who had an affair with someone last night was not his concubine.

After Zhang Zhibai sat down, Kou Ji saluted Zhang Zhibai, and then asked, "Zhang Gong, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Zhibai sighed and said, "Blame the blame!" ”

Kou Ji asked, "Then how did the ladies in your mansion leave the mansion?" ”

Zhang Zhibai sighed and said, "Blame me for this!" I can't afford to raise the concubines given to me by the officials, so I use them as maids. They bear the name of my concubine, but they are just maids in the house.

I can't keep an eye on the maid in the house, right? ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

He knows a little about the situation in Zhang's house.

knew that Zhang Zhibai was an honest official and couldn't afford to raise so many concubines, so he used the concubines given by the palace as maids, and sometimes gave some to his colleagues.

Giving each other maids and concubines was nothing new in the Great Song Dynasty.

Maids and concubines have little status in the mansion of the powerful.

Zhang Zhibai is a governor of political affairs, so it is naturally impossible to care about a maid.

"Hey...... Chun'er's girl, bumped into a handsome offspring outside the house, fell in love at first sight, she was deceived out of the house by that handsome offspring last night.

After one night, she was a corpse.

The old man became a useless person who relied on concubines to support his family. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhibai finally had a trace of anger on his face.

Kou Ji asked in a deep voice, "Did you catch that handsome offspring?" ”

Zhang Zhibai nodded and said in a deep voice: "I caught it, and I also interrogated it." He claimed that someone had given him money to trick Chun'er out of the house and go to the Guzi Temple. ”

"Did the guy who gave him the money get caught?"

"When the servants of the house found him, he was already a corpse."

“……”

Kou Ji said coldly: "You just played in the court to depose the world's Taoist officials, and this happened to them, and they did it really fast."

It's just that they shouldn't make a fuss with your reputation. ”

Zhang Zhibai took a deep breath and said, "The old man has a hunch, this is just the beginning. ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "Then let's watch quietly and see what moths they can make." When they've had enough, it's time for us to clean them up. ”

Zhang Zhibai nodded slowly and said, "Don't keep your hands when the time comes, otherwise the old man's stigma will be in vain." ”

"I'm not going to keep my hand."

Kou Ji is colorful.

He hurried to Zhang's mansion, just because he was afraid that Zhang Zhibai would collapse because of his reputation.

Seeing that Zhang Zhibai was as calm as ever, he was a lot more relieved.

Those people made a fuss about Zhang Zhibai's reputation, and they really poked Zhang Zhibai's pain.

But they are inferior to Zhang Zhibai.

Zhang Zhibai is not one of those corrupt Confucians, although he cares about reputation, but he will never fight for his life for fame, nor will he collapse because of his reputation.

After Kou Ji arrived at Zhang's Mansion, he did not leave again.

He accompanied Zhang Zhibai in Zhang's mansion, planning to see what other demons those people would make.

Kou Ji spent the night in Zhang's mansion.

Following.

On the top of the main hall of Zhang's mansion, there is an extra layer of golden sand.

There is one more among the people, Zhang Zhibai has the appearance of the emperor, and Zhang's mansion is where the emperor lives, so there are rumors that the sky will fall on Jinsha.

……

Day 3.

The head of the corner of Zhangfu is gone, replaced by several glazed heads.

Zhang's house dog has two more plausible horns on its head.

The kind that you can take and drop as soon as you take it.

……

Day 4.

Nothing happened to Zhang's house.

But something happened in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and the eighty-year-old mother of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly fainted.

After waking up, he yelled for the criminal department Shangshu not to get involved in the affairs of the family.

Otherwise, she would have hanged herself in front of the criminal department.

The criminal department was forced to take sick leave to the imperial court.

……

Day 5.

The left and right attendants of the criminal department took leave together.

……

Day 6.

Officers of several divisions under the Criminal Department took leave.

……

Seven days later.

The top and bottom of the criminal department, large and small officials, took leave together.

The servants who went out to buy in Zhang's mansion were involved in a life lawsuit.

Zhang Zhibai has been hiding in the house and has not gone out, and there are heavy guards outside the house, so he did not get into any big trouble.

Zhang Fuzhong.

Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai sat side by side, Kou Ji smiled coldly: "I thought they had any ability, so it turned out to be just this little means." Do they really think that if all the officials of the Criminal Department are on leave, you will get into endless trouble, and no one will clean them up anymore? ”

Zhang Zhibai stared at Kou Ji and said lightly: "So, are you ready to make a move?" ”

Kou Ji sneered: "The official family originally ordered the Criminal Department to do this, just to confuse the public. If the official really wanted the Criminal Department to do this, he would have secretly sent the documents to the local yamen long before you asked for this matter.

But now, no one in the local yamen has received the secret decree of checking the temples in the world and confiscating all the official seals of the Taoist officials in the world. ”

Zhang Zhibai was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If you don't pass the Criminal Department, and you want to check all the temples in the world and confiscate the official seals of all the Taoist officials in the world, then you can only make a move from the Ministry of War."

Only the Ministry of War has enough manpower to do this at all levels of local yamen. ”

Kou Ji snorted and said, "Under the thunder sweeping cave, how many ghosts can hide?" Give them time and let them make a fuss, just to see how capable they are.

I didn't expect that there was only such a small means. ”

Zhang Zhibai pondered for a moment and said: "As soon as you come up, you can directly use soldiers and horses, which may cause a huge conflict. Some monks may deceive the local people and oppose the imperial court. ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "The official family and I are ready for a bloody suppression. ”

Zhang Zhibai frowned and said, "Those people are also bewitched, and you and the official family should not harm their lives." ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "It's not enough to hurt your life, but it's still necessary to punish small punishments and big precepts." ”

"Hey!"

Zhang Zhibai sighed and didn't say anything more.

Although he brought up the matter, it was not under his control from beginning to end.

From beginning to end, all the decisions were in the hands of Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.

Pushing the book "The Great Song Dynasty Should Be Arrogant", a sapling that has grown into a tree, interested brothers and sisters can go and water it to help it thrive......
