It can be said that Kou Zhun is the nemesis of the imperial history.

Since Kou Zhun opened the knife to kill the imperial history, the imperial history is no longer protected by special rules.

Yushi felt that if he contradicted Kou Zhun, eighty percent would be cold.

So he decisively coaxed.

Yushi gritted his teeth and retreated behind the Jinshui Bridge.

When Lu Yijian and the others saw this, their faces were not good-looking.

The courtiers were silent one by one, standing in place and thinking about countermeasures.

"Hahaha......"

Just when the courtiers were worried, Zhu Neng suddenly laughed out loud and stepped onto the Jinshui Bridge.

Then in the stunned eyes of the courtiers, Zhu Neng walked to the other side of the bridge and saluted Kou Zhun and Cao Wei.

Kou Zhun and Cao Wei ignored Zhu Neng, and Zhu Neng laughed and left Jinshui Bridge.

When the courtiers saw this, their faces were very exciting.

Kou Zhun and Cao Wei are obviously watching people cook.

Let people pass, don't let anyone pass, there is a scale in my heart.

Some courtiers who were close to the Kou and Cao families, as well as courtiers who did not pay attention to the matter of crowning the king in the court, were naturally overjoyed.

Other courtiers who quarreled in the court for the matter of sealing the king were naturally unhappy.

The courtiers who were close to the Kou and Cao families, after Zhu Neng left the Jinshui Bridge, arched their hands to Lu Yijian and the others one by one, laughed and stepped on the Jinshui Bridge, and walked away.

After they crossed the Jinshui Bridge, they all saluted Kou Zhun and Cao Wei one after another.

It stands to reason that Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai are also eligible to leave.

But they couldn't leave.

Because most of the Wenchen were blocked in front of the Donghua Gate.

As the leader of the civil ministers, if they leave the civil servants alone, the civil ministers will no longer support them in the future, but will elect a new leader to replace them.

Zhang Zhibai didn't care about this, but Lu Yijian did.

If the ministers deviate from him, then he will not be able to sit down.

"Gong Lu, do you just let the two of them mess around here?"

Someone said to Lu Yi with an ugly face.

Lu Yijian sighed and said, "I'll go talk to them......"

So far, Lu Yijian can only stand up by himself.

If you push others out, you will only be regarded as not responsible.

Lu Yijian stepped to the head of the Jinshui Bridge.

Kou Zhun and Cao Wei didn't pay attention to him, nor did they stop him.

Lu Yijian saluted Kou Zhun and Cao Wei, "The two of you are not resting in the mansion, what are you doing here?" ”

Kou Zhun and Cao Wei both closed their eyes and ignored Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "This move of the two of you is inappropriate and insulting to the country, and I ask you to put the overall situation first." ”

Kou Zhun slowly opened his eyes and sneered: "Lu Xiang wants to talk to the old man?" ”

Lu Yijian said nonchalantly: "I don't mean that. I'm just talking about things. ”

Kou Zhun snorted, "The big picture? The old man has been in charge for decades, doesn't he understand the overall situation better than you? When your uncle was alive, he didn't dare to say that the old man didn't understand the overall situation.

So don't talk to the old man about the big picture.

It's really humiliating and inappropriate, it's the officials under you.

Now that the old man's grandson is fighting on the border, you will stumble him in the rear.

Really annoyed him, can you afford the consequences? ”

Lu Yijian sighed and said, "I can't afford it." ”

If Kou Ji was defeated, or forced to raise troops in a hurry, few people in the Great Song Dynasty could afford the consequences.

Lu Yijian faced this problem, and there was no way to mess around.

Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "Since you can't afford it, how dare you provoke him?" Is it easy to bully the grandson of an old man? When the old man's grandson was in court, you were all like quails.

When he is not in the court, you are jumping and happy.

Aren't you afraid that he will come to you to settle accounts with him after he returns? ”

Lu Yijian said frankly: "This matter is not my responsibility. ”

Kou Zhun asked rhetorically, "Then you are not responsible?" ”

Lu Yijian frowned and did not speak.

All the things that the Wenchen in the court made a big fuss, whether it was led by Lu Yijian or not, he was responsible.

He couldn't get away with it.

After Lu Yijian was silent for a while, he said in a stiff tone: "The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs naturally have the considerations of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and since the two of them have left the center, they should no longer meddle in the affairs of the center." ”

Kou Zhun's face turned cold, and he didn't pay attention to Lu Yijian anymore, but glanced at Cao Wei, and said nonchalantly: "Cao Wei, people think that we are not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the center, what do you think?" ”

Cao Wei slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Yijian, and said weakly: "Lu Yijian, if you say so, I can only die in your mansion." ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, he almost didn't bite his tongue.

"What the hell do you two want?!"

Cao Wei squinted his eyes and said lightly: "I'm dying, I need a prince to press the coffin board, otherwise after I go down, I won't have the face to see my father." ”

Kou Zhun said lightly: "My Kou Mansion doesn't need a prince. ”

Lu Yijian stared at Cao Wei and said in a deep voice: "You will definitely be crowned king after you die!" ”

Lu Yijian did not coax Cao Wei, with Cao Wei's merits, he would definitely be crowned king after his death.

The same goes for Kou Zhun.

Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian, "I can't see or touch it after I die, what if you lie to me?" ”

Lu Yijian glared and said, "Whether you can be crowned king or not, don't you know?" ”

Cao Wei shook his head decisively and said, "How can I know about the dictatorship of the official Sacred Heart?" ”

Lu Yijian glared at Cao Wei and said in a deep voice: "Change conditions." ”

Cao Wei pondered for a moment, "You swear that in your lifetime, you will fully support His Royal Highness King Shou to inherit the throne." ”

Lu Yijian was annoyed, "His Royal Highness King Shou is the eldest son of the official family, even if you don't say it, we will do the same." But we can do it, but we can't swear by what we promise you.

This matter is a major matter related to the community, how can it be such a child's play. ”

Cao Wei thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I still want the prince's ......."

Lu Yijian didn't want to deal with Cao Wei anymore.

He felt that Cao Wei was playing a scoundrel with him.

Lu Yijian looked at Kou Zhun, "I don't have a living king with a different surname in the Great Song Dynasty, and I won't seal a living king with a different surname." Therefore, it is impossible for you to be crowned king by the people who are alive in Koufu.

The courtiers just said casually, and if the official family really wanted to seal it, the courtiers would not agree. ”

Lu Yijian was telling the truth.

Because the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all thought so.

But Kou Zhun didn't agree with his words, "Having said that, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been asking the official family to appoint the grandson of the old man as the king all day long, and the old man is afraid to listen to it. ”

Lu Yijian could see that Kou Zhun was also playing a scoundrel.

Cao Wei's appeal is the same as what he said, and it is not hidden.

But it's different.

Kou Zhun didn't say it explicitly, but as long as it was a person, he could guess what Kou Zhun was demanding.

Kou Zhun naturally knew that it was impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to seal the living king with a different surname.

His real appeal is to make the courtiers give up scheming against Kou Ji, give up asking Kou Ji to be crowned king, and give up making stumbling blocks for Kou Ji.

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said, "I can't be the master of your two demands, and I can't agree to it." ”

Cao Wei closed his eyes and said no more.

If you don't have to talk about it, then don't talk about it, it's okay to block it.

Kou Zhun glanced at Lu Yijian and said, "If you say so, the old man is likely to die in your mansion." ”

Lu Yi stomped his feet angrily.

"I'm going to ask the official family to administer justice!"

Lu Yijian had no choice but to ask Zhao Zhen to come forward and invite these two great gods.

Lu Yijian snorted and returned to the other end of the Jinshui Bridge, and shouted to the courtiers, "The old man is going to meet the official's house......"

After saying this, Lu Yijian flicked his sleeves and entered the Donghua Gate.

walked through the palace all the way, and finally found Zhao Zhen in the imperial garden.

Zhao Zhen is in the imperial garden, playing with his children.

Lu Yijian couldn't get in.

Because Chen Lin had a dead face, blocking the gate of the imperial garden.

"Quickly go to the official's house, and say that Lu Yijian asks to see him."

Lu Yijian saw Chen Lin and ordered unceremoniously.

Chen Lin said lightly: "The official family said that he was sick and didn't see anyone today." ”

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "Kou Zhun and Cao Wei's actions of blocking the door in front of Donghua Gate, do the officials know?" ”

Chen Lin pretended to be surprised, "Duke Kou and Duke Cao blocked the Donghua Gate?" ”

Lu Yijian glared at Chen Lin.

You pretend, you pretend.

Such a big thing happened at the gate of the palace, how could the people in the palace not know.

Lu Yi knew that Chen Lin was lying, but he had to cooperate with him in acting, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, Kou Zhun and Cao Wei are now blocking the Donghua Gate and not letting the courtiers go out.

This move is suspected of causing chaos to the government and needs to be decided by the officials. ”

Chen Lin's face was straight, "Lu Xiang is here for a while, and the slave will go to the official's house." ”

After saying this, Chen Lin left Lu Yijian and hurriedly entered the Imperial Garden.

Not long after, Chen Lin appeared at the gate of the Imperial Garden.

Lu Yijian hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What did the official family say?" ”

Chen Lin said frankly: "The official family said that Duke Kou and Duke Cao are the ministers of the humerus of the imperial court, and they have always understood the general situation, and after leaving the center, they have contributed to the imperial court.

Now that the Donghua Gate is blocked, he must have been wronged.

The official also said that Duke Kou and Duke Cao had made outstanding contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, and now that they have retired, they should live in peace and stability. If someone makes them feel wronged, you will clean it up, and you must not let the heroes chill their hearts. ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, the anger in his heart didn't come out.

Zhao Zhenming knew what Kou Zhun and Cao Wei were blocking the Donghua Gate for, and now he was still talking to Cao Wei and Kou Zhun.

Zhao Zhen's partial help is also forgotten, with the merits of those two people, it is worthy of Zhao Zhen's partial help.

But Zhao Zhen connived at those two old guys to mess around, which really shouldn't be.

Lu Yijian shouted: "I want to see the official family!" ”

Chen Lin sighed and said, "Lu Xiang, don't embarrass the official's family. Those two blocked the Donghua Gate, and you couldn't ask them to leave, do you think the official family had a way to invite them to leave? ”

Lu Yijian asked, "Do you just let them mess around?" ”

Chen Lin coughed lightly and said, "The official family's original words: I can't beat them, I can't scold them, and they won't care if they are dismissed or dismissed."

I can't do anything about them, I have to be polite to them.

Solve your own troubles, don't bother. ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "The officials are the kings, and they are the ministers. When the official family is coming, do they dare to continue to mess around? ”

Chen Lin stared at Lu Yi and said faintly: "The official family said that Cao Wei wants to find someone now, and then die in that person's arms." If Cao Wei dies in his arms, then he may have to bear the reputation of a faint king.

As his courtiers, do you want to see him carry the reputation of a faint king? ”

Lu Yijian was speechless for a moment.

It is not the work of a good minister to trap a king in injustice.

Zhao Zhen said this, and he really couldn't refute it.

Lu Yijian took a deep breath and said, "I don't embarrass the official family, I just want to see the official family." ”

Chen Lin glanced at Lu Yijian deeply and said, "Then the slave will report again." ”

Chen Lin bowed slightly and entered the Imperial Garden again.

Not long after, a small eunuch came out to deliver a message and asked Lu Yijian to come in.

Lu Yijian, under the guidance of the little eunuch, entered the imperial garden.

Zhao Zhen was in the corridor next to the pond in the Imperial Garden, and he was accompanied by the new favorite He Meiren.

He Meiren has an excellent appearance, almost the sixth palace of the crown.

If it weren't for Queen Cao and other favored concubines who were about to give birth now, I am afraid that they would start a palace fight with He Meiren.

Although Zhao Zhen is an emperor, he is also an ordinary man.

In the face of He Meiren's beauty, there is not much resistance.

He knew that He Meiren had bad intentions when he entered the palace, but he still chose to spoil He Meiren and was also very kind to her.

When Lu Yijian arrived at the pond, Zhao Zhen was holding He Meiren's hand and explaining to her the interesting things she encountered during the expedition.

He Meiren listened patiently to Zhao Zhen's story, and occasionally praised Zhao Zhen for a sentence or two, which caused Zhao Zhen to laugh.

He Meiren looked at the quiet and elegant, and when she praised Zhao Zhen, she looked frank and sincere.

Zhao Zhen could hardly resist her praise.

"Chen Lu Yijian, see the official family, I have seen He Meiren......"

After Lu Yijian arrived at the pond, he said loudly.

Zhao Zhen heard Lu Yijian's voice, and instantly lost the intention of laughing, he put away the smile on his face, took He Meiren to sit down, and said lightly, "Come in and talk......

Lu Yijian entered the corridor.

Zhao Zhen asked nonchalantly: "Aiqing came to see me, but do you want me to come forward to persuade Kou Gong and Cao Wei?" ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "Since the official family said it, there is no way to come forward to persuade it, and the ministers naturally dare not force it." The minister was just a little confused in his heart, and asked the official family for advice. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and instructed Chen Lin: "Give me a seat......"

Chen Lin took a chair and gave it to Lu Yijian.

After Lu Yijian sat down, Zhao Zhen asked, "What confusion is Aiqing?" ”

Lu Yijian stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "The official family really wants to be crowned king?" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "Yes......"

Lu Yijian continued to ask, "A living king with a different surname?!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded again, but was speechless.

Lu Yijian said in a heavy tone: "The official family should understand what the living king with a different surname means to my Great Song Dynasty. To be honest, the minister was not disgusted with Cao Wei being crowned king.

Because of Cao Wei's exploits, he really deserves to be crowned king.

But, that has to wait until Cao Wei dies.

Cao Wei is alive and cannot be crowned king.

This example is not open.

Once a precedent is set, I am afraid that Cao Wei is not the only king with a different surname in my Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji's credit is not lower than Cao Wei's, and even faintly exceeds Cao Wei's by a few points.

If Cao Wei is crowned king with a different surname, then should Kou Ji also be crowned king.

Koji is only in his prime.

If he is crowned king, there is so much he can do.

The impact is also too great.

It's not good for my Great Song.

In addition, Chong Shiheng, Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang, Di Qing and others are still fighting on the border.

If they make another meritorious service, will the official family also give them the title of king?

Chen Yaozhi is seeking the territory of Qingtang for the official family, and Yang Wenguang has already helped the official family get back the southwest and northwest roads of the Liao Kingdom, and their credit is not small.

Do the officials also want to give them kings?

If the official family makes an exception to crown the king for all of them, the military ministers will see the opportunity in the future, and they will definitely rush to fight for the king.

In the long run, my Great Song Dynasty may fall into a state of recklessness.

In addition, will the crown prince be able to suppress the kings when he ascends the throne in the future?

If I can't suppress the kings, where should I go in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Lu Yijian's words came from the bottom of his heart.

It's not that he has a prejudice against anyone, but a living king with a different surname, which is indeed very harmful to the Great Song Dynasty.

So he had to stop it.

After listening to Lu Yijian's words, Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Their merits are not small, and they have reached the point where they cannot be sealed.

They fought for my Great Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for me not to be rewarded.

If I don't reward them, even if they don't complain, the soldiers below will complain.

Now my Great Song soldiers can sweep the Siyi, and in turn, they can sweep my Great Song Dynasty.

So I must reward them.

And the only thing I can give them is the king. ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, his brows almost furrowed, "The official family can share their credit with their heirs. In the past, this was what the imperial court did. ”

Zhao Zhen said faintly: "Their merits are not small, if I want to share the profits to their heirs, I am afraid that I will have to seal a group of dukes."

When the time comes, they can produce three or five dukes in one house.

Its power must far exceed the sum of the previous imperial relatives and generals.

When the time comes, who will be able to hold them down?

In this court, it is far better for one person to speak than two people to speak.

As a member of the Tongzhong Sect, you should understand. ”

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "If it doesn't work...... Just ......"

Lu Yijian did not finish his sentence.

But Zhao Zhen understood what he meant.

Zhao Zhen told Lu Yijian categorically, "What Taizu didn't do, I can't do." If I do it, it will be tantamount to hurting Taizu's face.

If Taizu has no face, then what face does my Great Song have left? ”

Lu Yijian couldn't refute Zhao Zhen's words, nor could he come up with a perfect idea, so he could only shout sadly: "Official, if you set this precedent, it will really do great harm to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "I will think of a proper handling of this matter." ”

Lu Yijian sighed.

Zhao Zhen continued: "You better go down and talk to Kou Gong and Cao Wei, and let them leave Donghua Gate first." ”

Lu Yijian got up, saluted Zhao Zhen, didn't say a word, and left the imperial garden with his head down.

After Lu Yijian left, Zhao Zhen chatted with He Meiren for a while, and then left the imperial garden under the pretext that he had official business to deal with.

All the way to the Shishido.

Chen Lin couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the official family tell Lu Yijian what he really thought?" ”

Zhao Zhen sat on the main seat of the capital hall, shook his head and said, "I can't say it yet." If you say it now, some people will be cranky. I may not be able to get what I want.

I just want to make all of them make trouble about the king.

When they have had enough, I will take advantage of the situation to become king.

When I am crowned king, the courtiers who oppose the king will definitely hold a breath of resentment in their hearts.

When the time came, they knew that I was going to send the king with a different surname to a poor country.

They will definitely give me their full support and let me send the king with a different surname to the poor countryside.

It will be difficult for kings with different surnames to go to the poor countryside when the time comes.

The purpose of my move was to weaken the resistance of the kings with different surnames to this matter.

It is not necessary to ask for the opinions of the courtiers before daring to be crowned king.

I chose a backcountry for them, but it wasn't a good place to go.

When they find out about the place I have chosen for them, they will be dissatisfied.

They have soldiers in their hands, so I must use the civil and military forces in the court to suppress them and let them not mess around. ”

Chen Lin suddenly realized and nodded incessantly.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Actually, they are all loyal to me. Even if I did want to shove them into the backwoods, they wouldn't resist.

But the world is impermanent, and I have to keep a hand, just in case. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he praised: "The official family is Shengming...... It's just that the slave doesn't understand, why is the official family in a hurry to be crowned king? The official family can wait for their class to return to the court, take back the soldiers and horses from them, and then digest the soldiers and horses in their hands, and then it is not too late to be crowned king. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "It's too long, I can afford to wait, and the people of the world can't afford to wait." The reason why I was in a hurry to seal them out was to take the opportunity to send them, their clansmen, and their henchmen out of the Great Song Dynasty in one go.

When they leave the Great Song Dynasty, it will be much easier for me to do other things. ”

Chen Lin heard Zhao Zhen's words and fell into deep thought.

He secretly thought about it for a long time, and felt that Zhao Zhen's move should be preparing for a complete reform of the literary system.

Although all the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty are now in the hands of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji, other people also have a lot of influence on the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

If Zhao Zhen left them in the Great Song Dynasty and implemented literary reform under their noses, they would easily go against Zhao Zhen under the influence of their families, clansmen, old friends, tribesmen, old departments, etc.

And they can influence the soldiers and horses.

Zhao Zhen will inevitably be restrained.

If they are all moved out of the Great Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Zhen's literary system is reformed, it will be much easier.

The influential generals of the Great Song Dynasty were all moved out by Zhao Zhen.

If someone wants to use the soldiers and horses to contradict Zhao Zhen, it is unlikely.

When the literary system was reformed, Zhao Zhen did not need to worry about the mutiny.

And Zhao Zhen himself holds the army, so he controls the absolute initiative.

Someone contradicts him, and when he needs to kill someone, he doesn't need to be soft-hearted, and he doesn't need to worry about causing any big upheaval.

In this way, it will be easier to innovate the literary system.

In addition, almost all of the people who have great influence in the military today are wealthy families with big careers.

If Zhao Zhen gives them the title of king, let them move out.

Then they will vacate a large amount of family property for Zhao Zhen.

For example, real estate such as fertile land, mansions, and shops.

Since Zhao Zhen gave them the title of king, he also gave them a fief and let them be the princes and kings.

Then you don't have to spend a penny to collect their real estate.

With the support of their real estate, Zhao Zhen will have a good start when the literary system is reformed.

Take the Cao family as an example.

Zhao Zhenruo was to crown Cao Wei as the king, and pick a place to let the people of the Cao family move out.

Then the real estate that the Cao family can leave to Zhao Zhen is half of Zhending Mansion, plus 350,000 mu of fertile land outside Bianjing City, as well as mansions and shops worth tens of millions of yuan in Bianjing City.

In addition, there is the huge industry of the Cao family in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty.

In this regard, the Cao family will definitely not bargain with Zhao Zhen.

After all, what Zhao Zhen gave them was a vassal state.

Exchanging a vassal state for some property is nothing at all.

With these industries, Zhao Zhen can at least lift nearly six or seven hundred thousand people out of the abject poverty class when the cultural system is reformed.

When relocating these destitute people, they can also take advantage of the situation to put pressure on the wealthy families they have left and squeeze more land out of them.

When the wealthy are weakened, the people can also quickly get intuitive benefits.

Naturally, the people would support him, support his decrees, join hands with him, and oppose the wealthy.

As a result, the pressure on the reform of the literary system will also be greatly reduced.
