Hatuk trembled violently, and as the most pious servant of God, he did not dare to imagine what the traces of God would look like after they disappeared from the world.

Kou Ji's words made him analyze that Kou Ji knew God very well, and he also knew the kingdom of God under God's rule.

There was no need for him to disguise himself in front of Kou Ji.

His eyes were a little red as he stared at Kou Ji, "You're scaring me...... The power of God is infinite...... It is impossible for anyone to erase the traces of God...... God does not allow ......"

Kou Ji chuckled in a low voice, "If the power of the gods is truly infinite, then why would the kings erect the caliphate?" It is important to know that the caliph is the heir of God, the incarnation of the human body. And the kings are only servants of God.

Could it be that in God's heart, a servant is more important than an incarnation? ”

Hatuk was speechless.

After a long time, he roared, "They are blasphemers, they have blinded God." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and laughed silently: "I don't care what they are. All I care about is the knowledge in the Wisdom Pavilion. ”

Koji stared at Hatuk and said solemnly, "Although I don't believe in God, I attach great importance to God's knowledge. If there is one person in this world who can keep the knowledge of God all the time, and there is another person who has the ability to protect the knowledge of God, then this person is me.

You've seen the arrogance of my Great Song.

You have also seen the status I have in the Great Song Dynasty.

I have the power to protect that knowledge. ”

Hatuk gritted his teeth and glared at Kou Ji, but his heart was a little shaken.

Koji continued, "I am not asking you to destroy the knowledge of God, but I am asking you to print and copy the knowledge of God. By doing so, I am tantamount to building another wisdom hall on the basis of the original wisdom hall.

Once one day, the Wisdom Pavilion in Baghdad is destroyed, then the Wisdom Pavilion left in my Great Song Dynasty will continue to pass on the knowledge of God. ”

Hatuk was finally shaken, and he couldn't do it if he didn't waver.

Because the situation of the caliphate is very worrying.

Although the kings were still under God's rule, the kings had already crossed the Caliphate and began to speak directly to God.

The Caliph has become a puppet in the hands of kings.

If one day the kings no longer need the caliphate, the caliph may evaporate from the earth.

And the Hall of Wisdom, which the caliph regarded as his life, will also suffer.

The kings also attach great importance to the Wisdom Pavilion, but the kings do not attach importance to all the knowledge in the Wisdom Pavilion.

The kings will selectively pass on the knowledge in the Hall of Wisdom according to their own preferences.

Eventually, a portion of God's knowledge will be destroyed by kings.

This was clear to him when he left Baghdad.

As God's most devout servant, he absolutely did not want to see the knowledge in the Hall of Wisdom destroyed.

Hatuk trembled, stared at Koji and said, "God's knowledge can be given to you, but you must repay God?" ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Isn't God selfless? ”

Hatuk gritted his teeth and said, "God is selfless only to the most pious servants. ”

Kou Ji thought for a moment and said, "I can spend money to buy it." ”

Hatuk was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Equal weight of knowledge, for equal weight of gold?" ”

Kou Ji nodded in agreement without hesitation.

You can exchange the yellow and white things for the knowledge in the Wisdom Pavilion, which is very cost-effective for Kou Ji.

Gold, as long as Kou Ji is willing to pick it up, is everywhere.

But the knowledge in the wisdom hall is only available in the wisdom hall.

Seeing that Kou Ji agreed, Hatuk groaned again and again, stared at Kou Ji and said, "It's not enough! ”

Kou Ji squinted and smiled, "What more do you want?" ”

Hatuk stared at Koji and said, "What can you give......?"

Kou Ji thought for a moment and said with a smile: "When I get all the knowledge in the Wisdom Pavilion, I can promise to help God do one thing." ”

Hatuk was stunned for a moment, stared straight at Kou Ji, and asked, "Anything?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "You can't go against the interests of my Great Song." ”

Hatuk thought about it in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said: "The light of God has not shone on your country, so God's affairs will not involve your country." ”

Koji nodded, "That's good." ”

Hatuk took a deep breath and said, "I need your country's printing technology, as well as some camels and coils. ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "I can give it to you." ”

Hatuk said no more, and after he had bowed to Koji, he hurriedly withdrew from the city lord's mansion, hurried all the way back to his residence, and then closed the door, prostrate himself on the ground, and pleaded with God in tears.

"God, forgive your most devout servant, Hatuk...... Hatuk is also about protecting your knowledge......"

“……”

Hatuk prayed in his room.

Koji lay comfortably on his side on the seat in the city lord's mansion and instructed the official to prepare what Hatuk wanted.

The knowledge in the Hall of Wisdom, he is determined to obtain.

Hatuk was willing to help him get it, and he saved himself the trouble of getting it.

After the official prepared what Hatuk wanted, Koji personally sent it to Hatuk.

After Hatuk got the things, he agreed with Kou Ji on the approximate time and place of meeting again, and then left Guazhou with the people.

After Hattuk left, Koji did not continue to stay in Guazhou.

Instead, he took Yang Wenguang and thousands of soldiers and horses, escorted the money, and rushed to Xiliang City.

The other soldiers and horses led by Yang Wenguang were all handed over to Fan Zhongyan by Kou Ji.

Fan Zhongyan took them to reclaim wasteland and plant trees and food.

Kou Ji and his entourage, after more than half a month, rushed to Xiliang City.

As soon as he entered the boundary of Xiliang City, he bumped into the leader of the patrol guards who came to look for him.

When the leader of the Horse Patrol saw Kou Ji, his face was sad.

Kou Ji frowned and asked, "Something happened?" ”

The leader of the Horse Patrol nodded.

Kou Ji asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The leader of the patrol guard lamented: "Xiang Gong is gone......"

Kou Ji's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt as if someone had cut a piece of meat in his heart.

Kou Ji said with an ugly face: "When did it happen?" ”

"...... more than a month ago"

The leader of the patrol guard whispered.

Kou Ji had a gloomy face and said in a low voice: "Let's go back to Xiliang City first." ”

The leader of the Horse Patrol nodded.

The group escorted the gold, silver and jewelry and rushed to Xiliang City.

As soon as you enter the gate of Xiliang City.

What you see is a scene of a sea of people.

In Bianjing City, all the people with heads and faces sent their disciples and disciples to Xiliang City.

They have been entrenched in Xiliang City for more than ten days.

When they arrived in Xiliang City, they didn't come to do things, so naturally they didn't have to go to open up wasteland.

So one by one, they got together in groups of three or five, and made a lot of frolicking things in Xiliang City, and they were having fun.

Some people also set up shops and Goolan courtyards in Xiliang City.

Koji knew what they were here for, but Koji didn't bother to talk to them right now.

So when he entered the city, he didn't give a good face to anyone who came up to him.

Kou Ji rushed all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and saw several familiar figures, standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion waiting for him.

Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, Du Yan, and ......

Chen Lin!

Kou Ji got off the horse, and as soon as he stood still, Chen Lin took out a yellow roll and held it high above his head.

Everyone at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion saluted together.

Chen Lin coughed and said loudly: "Kou Ji takes the order......

Kou Ji saluted and said: "Minister Kou Ji, take the order......"

Chen Lin unfolded the yellow scroll and began to read.

"The edict said...... Aiqing's trip to the Western Regions has made outstanding achievements, and the merit is in the community, and the benefits are in the future...... If you don't reward you, it's not enough to show Aiqing's merits...... Bestowed the title of duke, the title of Yong, ranked second-class...... The title of secretary of the Ministry of Justice...... Temporary Replacement of Hebei Pacification Envoy ......"

Chen Lin finished babbling on his will and handed the yellow scroll to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji held the yellow scroll and said in a loud voice: "Minister Kou Ji, thank you Lord Longen." ”

Kou Jijue's title to the Duke of the Kingdom should be a thing to be happy and celebrated.

But Koji couldn't be happy.

None of the people at the gate of the city lord's mansion opened their mouths to celebrate.

The atmosphere at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was not only not joyful, but also a little sad.

After Kou Ji put away the yellow scroll, Chen Lin came to Kou Ji, sighed, and said, "The mourning of the National Prince's Day has changed ......."

Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, Du Yan and others also spoke.

"Yongguo Gongjie mourns and changes ......"

“……”

Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and said, "My father-in-law, when did you go west in Hexi?" ”

Chen Lin whispered: "On the day that Guogong's good news arrived in Bianjing. ”

Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief, and said with a little sadness: "When can I go back to mourn?" ”

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and whispered, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait until a year later......"

Kou Ji's brows furrowed instantly.

Seeing this, Chen Lin hurriedly said, "This is what Gong Kou meant. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and roughly understood why Kou Zhun would let him stay in Hexi.

"Hexi is initially decided, do you need me to take charge?"

Chen Lin nodded slowly.

Kou Ji said faintly: "Then I will set up a mourning hall for my grandfather-in-law in Xiliang City to offer condolences." ”

Chen Lin nodded and responded, "It should be ......"

Kou Ji didn't say anything more, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

When passing by Du Yan, Li Zhaoliang, and Zhu Neng, he frowned and said: "The three of them told those who came to Hexi to take advantage that if they wanted to take advantage of Hexi, they had to help Hexi."

If you don't want to contribute, you will drive out of Hexi. ”

Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang glanced at each other and nodded slowly.

Du Yan stroked his beard and said, "They really should contribute." ”

Kou Ji continued to Du Yan: "Annoying Du Gong to stay in Hexi for a few more days. ”

It stands to reason that when the seized gold, silver and jewelry arrived, Du Yan should have left with the gold and silver jewelry.

However, Xiang Minzhong's death disrupted the agreement between Kou Ji and Du Yan.

Kou Ji wants to set up a mourning hall to mourn Xiang Minzhong, which naturally cannot be done in a day or two.

During Kou Ji's condolences to Xiang Minzhong, Du Yan was needed to temporarily help deal with the government affairs of Hexi.

Du Yan can't leave now.

Du Yan is above the court, he is a person who does not smile and looks at each other.

But in private, he is a very reasonable person.

So after hearing Kou Ji's words, he nodded slowly and agreed to Kou Ji's request.

Seeing that Du Yan agreed, Kou Ji didn't say anything more, entered the city lord's mansion, ordered someone to arrange a mourning hall, and knelt down in it.

Kou Ji's feelings for Xiang Minzhong are very complicated.

Among the many elders that Kou Ji knows, the only one who can be with him, who can get along with him as a friend, no matter how big or small, is Xiang Minzhong.

So Xiang Minzhong died.

Kou Ji felt very uncomfortable.

When the old guy didn't die, tossing back and forth, Kou Ji didn't feel anything in his heart.

But the old guy is really dead, and Kou Ji actually has pain in his heart.

In order to alleviate the grief in his heart, Kou Ji locked himself in the mourning hall for seven days.

Seven days.

Du Yan, Chen Lin, Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang and others were not idle.

When Kou Ji left the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Chen Lin read out the will to canonize Yang Wenguang as the Marquis.

On the same day, Du Yan conveyed Kou Ji's meaning to the disciples and disciples of the powerful who rushed to Hexi to seek benefits.

They all came to Hexi to eat gluttonous feasts, so how could they contribute to others.

So when Du Yan conveyed Kou Ji's meaning, they became complaining.

Except for a few people who visited Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang, they took their servants to work outside the city in a proper manner.

Most of the people still stayed in Xiliang City and continued to play and have fun.

Du Yan didn't bother to deal with them.

silently helped Kou Ji deal with government affairs.

Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, and Yang Wenguang led people to restrain those powerful disciples and disciples, and avoided friction between them and the soldiers, captives and others who opened up wasteland inside and outside the city.

Comparatively.

Chen Lin is more snobbish.

After he had read all the decrees, his eyes fell on the gold, silver and jewels.

How poor the imperial court is now, Chen Lin is clear.

The official Zhao Zhen was not less worried about this.

So when Chen Lin saw the massive amount of money that was enough to blow up the treasury in front of him, he decisively seized the right to escort.

If it weren't for Kou Ji, he didn't speak.

The soldiers who escorted the gold, silver and jewels were reluctant to move.

Chen Lin had already taken the lead in escorting the gold, silver and jewelry back to Bianjing.
