Although Wang Shu's official title has not changed, the little power left in the ministry has also been snatched up by the third division.

Wang Shu suddenly became a parasitic official with an empty name like Kou Ji.

A group of people lost their real power, and all of them rushed to Kou Mansion at once, looking for Kou Zhun to cry.

Kou Zhun went from sending one piece a day to sending thirty-six pieces a day to the palace.

He argued for his henchmen, spoke clearly for his henchmen, and cried out for his henchmen.

But in the end, it was useless.

His recital, as usual, sank into the sea after entering the palace.

Kou Zhun's henchmen, in Kou Mansion, went from full of hope, to disappointment, to despair, and finally to despair.

Some quietly left the Koufu, ready to find a way out on their own.

Some stayed in Kou Mansion, intending to persuade Kou Zhun and give it a go.

Kou Ji is like an outsider, staying in the mansion every day, watching the people in the mansion come in and out.

He wasn't involved, and he didn't want to.

He had already explained his views to Kou Zhun and Wang Shu.

If Kou Zhun wants to reverse the current situation, there is no second way out of the side of the Qing monarch.

But Kou Zhun was paranoid and felt that the Qing monarch without an edict was a rebellion, and he resolutely couldn't do it.

……

Time flies.

It's June (just a few days, not a whole month).

Kou Zhun's henchmen were all kicked out of the important yamen in the court, and they were reduced to a group of Jilu officials like Kou Ji.

They are in Kou Mansion every day, and they are persuading Kou Zhun to change the law.

Kou Zhun didn't let go.

In comparison, Kou Ji seems to be very idle, hiding in the Sijun Garden all day as an otaku.

He has a plan, so he is not in a hurry.

Now that his official position in the Sixth Department has been decided, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for his official position to change.

So he wasn't worried at all.

However, Kou Ji was not in a hurry, but Liu Heng was in a hurry.

On the third day of the sixth month.

Liu Heng rushed into the Kou Mansion with a roar.

Found Kou Ji in the Garden of the Four Monarchs.

Before he entered the moon gate in the garden, he shouted loudly, "Fourth brother, it's about to change outside, why do you still have the leisure to sit idle in the Kou Mansion." ”

Kou Ji was chilling out under a tree in the garden, and a few jugs of cold wine were on the table.

The wine was a tribute from Fanbang in the Western Regions and was given by the palace.

The ice was stored in the ice cellars of Korfu.

Seeing Liu Heng, Kou Ji sat up from the Hu bed and beckoned: "Come here, taste this wine from the Western Regions, chill it, it's very delicious......

I asked the craftsman in the house to make two grills, and when you come over in a few days, you can still have a delicious barbecue. ”

Liu Heng walked quickly to Kou Ji, lifted the wine on the table, took a sip, and said angrily: "It's about to be upset outside, do you still have the leisure to stay at home?" ”

Kou Ji picked up a piece of ice from the plate, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it rattling, he chewed while asking, "What happened to the third room of the Criminal Division?" Xia Zhu is looking for you to seize power? ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "That's not the case...... I have my aunt behind me, Xia Zhu is my aunt's person, how can you embarrass me. Behind Cao Tong is the Cao family, and Xia Zhu doesn't dare to embarrass him.

Fan Zhongyan, although he is a little old-fashioned, but he does things in a proper manner, and Xia Zhu can't find fault with him, and he doesn't embarrass him. ”

Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng stunned, "Then what are you anxious about?" ”

After saying this, he picked up another piece of ice and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it with a clattering sound.

Liu Heng said anxiously: "The court is about to quarrel, my aunt's people, and your grandfather's people are arguing in the court all day long. There was also a lot of noise in Bianjing City, and those students who were too many and the students of Guozijian gathered together in groups of three or five, and when they met people, they said that my aunt was the demon queen who brought disaster to the country and the people. Said that my aunt was expelling Zhongliang and reusing traitors. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he glanced at Liu Heng and said with a strange expression: "Does this have anything to do with you and me?" ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

After a long time.

He was stunned and said, "It really has nothing to do with us......

Kou Ji pouted and said, "Then what are you excited about?" ”

Liu Heng scratched his head and suddenly said, "That's right! I'm excited about something. They quarrel and quarrel, and they can't affect us, what are we excited about. ”

Kou Ji glanced at him and said, "It's you who are excited, not me." ”

Liu Heng grinned and said, "I saw the excitement of those Tai students and Guozijian students on the street, shouting loudly, and I was also a little excited......

After saying this, Liu Hengyou looked at Kou Ji with admiration and said, "Fourth brother, you are still powerful, and you are not surprised." ”

Kou Ji glanced at him and pouted, "Don't talk about sycophants, sit down and drink." ”

Liu Heng nodded and sat opposite Kou Ji.

He saw that Kou Ji did not drink wine in his hand, but twisted the ice cube and ate it, and he was also moved.

He learned from Kou Ji, twisted a piece of ice, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit down on it.

"Quack Quack ......"

Liu Heng bit the ice cube and said happily: "Don't say it, this ice cube tastes really cool." It's much better than drinking good wine, and when I go back to the house, I do the same. ”

After a pause, Liu Heng sighed again: "However, there is not much ice in our house, and my father and my eldest brother enjoy it on weekdays, and I don't know how much they can give me." ”

Kou Ji looked at him and said nonchalantly: "If you like to eat this thing, I'll tell you a way to go back and make ice yourself." ”

Liu Heng was stunned and said, "Can you still make ice in summer?" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Why can't you?" ”

Liu Heng nodded slowly, and said seriously: "Then you must give me this method when you go back." ”

At this time, Kou Ji was not calm, he stared at Liu Heng, and said in amazement: "Aren't you excited? ”

"Excited about what?"

"Not unexpected?"

"What's the accident?"

"Why do I make ice in the summer?"

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, and grinned: "What's so surprising about this, no matter what amazing things you do, no matter what amazing things you do, the younger brother won't be surprised." ”

Kou Ji wondered, "Why do you think so?" ”

Liu Heng said frankly: "Since I saw your painting skills like a magic pen in my Liu's Mansion in the restaurant of my Liu Mansion, and the fire you put in the Donglai pawnshop unknowingly, I am not surprised that you have done any amazing things." ”

Liu Heng paused, and said in a sly whisper: "Because I know that the fourth brother is talented and can be more than ordinary people." ”

Kou Jiba clicked his mouth and muttered, "You found out about this?" ”

Liu Heng smiled proudly.

The two men stopped talking, but chewed on the ice cubes on their plates.

When the ice cubes on the plate were about to be chewed, Liu Heng was suddenly stunned and said, "By the way, fourth brother, I remember something related to you......"

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is going on in the palace?" ”

Liu Heng shook his head and said seriously: "It has nothing to do with the palace, it is a rumor circulating in the market." ”

"What rumors?"

Kou Ji asked.

Liu Heng said: "There are rumors in the market that Kou Fu intends to marry Xiang Fu, saying that you want to marry a girl from Xiang Fu. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the old man, calculate my ......."

In the entire Bianjing City, there is no one else who can release this kind of rumor except Xiang Minzhong.

"Let's ......"

The ice cube that Liu Heng had just stuffed into his mouth fell to the ground, making him look at Kou Ji with a shocked face.

"Fourth brother!"

Liu Heng trembled and said, "That rumor can't be true, right?" ”

Kou Ji darkened his face and waved his hand: "You yourself said it was a rumor, how can it be true?" ”

Liu Heng didn't listen to him, but asked excitedly: "Do you really want to marry Xiang Gong's eldest granddaughter?" That's amazing! ”

Kou Ji was stunned, not understanding why Liu Heng reacted so much.

Liu Heng rubbed his hands excitedly and shouted, "Do you know? Xiang Gong's eldest granddaughter, she is a famous beauty in Bianjing City. Not only is the person beautiful, but also knowledgeable, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent.

The princes and grandsons in Bianjing City all want to marry her home.

The people who went to the mansion to ask for relatives were about to break through the threshold of the mansion. ”

Liu Heng suddenly grabbed Kou Ji and said excitedly: "My eldest brother, do you know my eldest brother?" is my aunt's favorite eldest brother, Liu Congmei. He also fell in love with Xiang Gong's eldest granddaughter, and specially asked my aunt to match it, but Xiang Gong refused.

I didn't expect Xiang Gong to intentionally marry his eldest granddaughter to you. ”

Liu Heng shook Kou Ji excitedly and shouted: "Fourth brother, you are worthy of my Liu Heng's fourth brother." How many people in Bianjing City who can't marry the prince and grandson are stunned by you. ”

Liu Heng spoke incoherently excitedly.

Kou Ji tugged at the corners of his mouth, looked at Liu Heng, and said in disbelief: "That yellow-haired girl who wants nothing, is it really as good as you say?" ”

When Liu Heng heard this, his expression froze, and his eyes widened, "You've all met?" ”

Kou Ji asked tentatively, "Is it that hard to see?" ”

Liu Heng was even more excited, he stood up, grabbed Kou Ji, and shouted: "Do you know that my eldest brother gave twenty-four high-grade walking beads in order to meet Xiang Gong's eldest granddaughter, but he couldn't see her. ”

Kou Ji unconsciously appeared in his mind the figure of the girl in the Xiangfu side hall.

He said with a puzzled face: "It's just such a yellow-haired girl, it's not worth a bead, right?" ”

Liu Heng automatically ignored Kou Ji's words of belittling Xiang's eldest granddaughter, and he grabbed Kou Ji excitedly and said, "Fourth brother, I really want to tell the news." ”

Kou Ji was stunned, and said casually: "Then you can go and say it." I don't care anyway. ”

Liu Heng shook his head suddenly, "I can't say it!" Absolutely can't say! If this gets the word out, you're going to be out of luck. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively: "You mean, those who ask for marriage will trouble me?" ”

Liu Heng said seriously: "Not only to trouble you, but also to beat you with a stick, or find someone to assassinate you, or show the carriage and horses, and go to Kou Mansion to challenge you." ”

Kou Ji said incomprehensibly: "Crazy! I'm also an official of the imperial court, and you dare to beat me with a stick, and find someone to assassinate me? Kou Mansion is not a small family, and it also comes to challenge? ”

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Are you joking with me?" ”

Liu Heng asked himself, "No, what I'm saying is the truth. Although your Kou Mansion is the prime minister's court, the door is high and the household is big. But the water in this Bianjing City is far deeper than you think.

In this Bianjing City, the mansion that dares to oppose your Kou Mansion and is qualified to oppose your Kou Mansion.

No less than ten. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said in amazement: "So many? ”

Liu Heng nodded heavily, "I'll ignore this, or I'll tell you in detail." ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Needless to say, I can probably guess which ones are them." ”

In Bianjing City, there are many families with special status.

There are quite a few who are not afraid of Koufu.

For example, the major royal mansions, such as the Chai family with special status, such as the Cao family with outstanding achievements, such as the Liu family where Liu Heng is located, such as the Zhe family in the northwest, and so on.

When it comes to the folded family, I have to explain more.

Although the Fold family is a general, its status is extremely special.

They have always listened to the court and not listened to the announcement.

The head of the family, when he was canonized by the imperial court, he would add a queen after the post.

And the other one who has the title of staying behind is the protagonist of Qingtang.

It can be seen that the name of the Zhejia is the imperial court, but the actual status is equivalent to that of the fan.

The above few are basically qualified to fight against Koufu.

Liu Heng solemnly reminded: "It's good that you know, so don't tell you about the granddaughter you have seen Xiang Fu's eldest granddaughter." There are a lot of gentlemen in those families, and some of them are spoiled, and they all look like crazy people.

They are really in a hurry, and they can do anything. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he pouted and said, "I'm too lazy to provoke them, but if they really want to find me, I'm not afraid of them." If you really want to weigh one pound and two, who is light and who is heavy, it is not certain. ”

Liu Heng said seriously: "I naturally know the methods of the fourth brother, and it is definitely not a problem to deal with these gentlemen." However, the people behind these people are not easy to deal with. Now that Kou Mansion is in turmoil, the fourth brother is better not to cause trouble. ”

Kou Ji saw that Liu Heng was telling him sincerely, and he was unwilling to live up to Liu Heng's kindness, so he nodded in response.

Liu Heng saw Kou Ji nodding, and nodded as well.

Then he was ready to sit down and have a good chat with Kou Ji, the scene of Kou Ji seeing Xiang's eldest granddaughter.

It's just that as soon as he sat down, something happened.

Just now, the sun was shining, and the clear sky slowly turned into darkness.

It's the time of day when the sun is at its fiercest.

But between heaven and earth, it was pitch black.

Liu Heng stood up abruptly and said in astonishment: "This is?!" ”

In the dark.

Kou Ji stretched out his hand and clenched his fist suddenly, as if grasping the darkness, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of an unknown smile, and said faintly: "Taibai Jingtian ......"

"Taibai Jingtian?"

Liu Heng glared with a questioning expression.

Kou Ji didn't pay attention to him, but sighed: "I have been waiting for this day, I have been waiting for more than half a month, and I thought I would continue to wait, but I didn't expect it to appear so soon." It's time for the change in the imperial court to come out, and it's time for me to take action......"

When Kou Ji was reading history books before, he once saw a record in the history books.

During the Tianxi period, when Liu E and Kou Zhun were fighting for power, there was a Taibai Jingtian in June.

It's just that he was careless at the time and didn't remember that it was that year.

But after his careful observation of the situation, he found that Taibai Jingtian is very likely to appear this year.

He was right!
