Chapter 0416: The Fate of the Picking Girls

"Each has its own strengths......

Zhu Neng's thick hand covered Kou Ji's shoulder and comforted him.

Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng and smiled indifferently: "I'm not discouraged, I'm just feeling emotional. ”

Zhu Neng withdrew his hand, furrowed his brows, and said, "Now that you know Liu E's plan, what are you going to do next?" ”

Kou Ji lowered his head and groaned for a while, and laughed in a low voice: "Xia Zhubu's game, on a certain basis, can almost be said to be unsolvable. But if there is no foundation, it will be vulnerable. ”

Zhu Neng frowned, and said in amazement: "Such a vicious plan, unless it is broken by force, there is no way at all, you actually say that it is vulnerable?" ”

Kou Ji smiled, "Hmm...... Vulnerable ......"

Zhu Neng groaned: "Do you have a way to deal with it? ”

"Hmmm......"

"Tell me about it!"

"If you say it, it won't work."

“……”

Kou Ji sold a pass, Zhu Neng scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, stared at his eyes and shouted: "This is a fatal matter, not a child's play." ”

Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "The key to breaking the game is very ingenious, you can't say it, if you say it, it won't work." ”

Zhu Neng's face was a little ugly and said, "You can't believe me?" ”

Kou Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "How come? ”

Zhu Neng pounced in front of Kou Ji and glared at the big eyes of the copper bell, "Then you won't tell me?!" ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "That's ...... In a few days, I will secretly dispatch the Tiger Army into Beijing, and when the time comes, I will hand over the Tiger Army to you to hide and control, this is always okay, right? ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment and snorted coldly, but he didn't chase after the root of the problem.

With the Tiger Character Army and the Dragon God Second Guard in hand, it is enough to advance and retreat freely in Bianjing City.

There is no need to worry about falling to the point of being slaughtered.

Kou Ji arched his hand to Zhu Neng, "Now that I know the whole story, I have to go back to the house to discuss it with my grandfather, so I won't bother." ”

Zhu Neng snorted twice.

Kou Ji knew that Zhu Neng was sulking at him.

He didn't say anything more and walked towards the outside of Zhu's mansion.

As soon as he walked to the edge of the martial arts arena of Zhu's mansion, he heard Zhu Neng's voice sound from behind.

"Wait......"

Kou Ji turned around and wondered, "What else does Uncle Zhu command?" ”

Zhu Neng snorted: "When I go back, I will secretly send two hundred elites to hide in the Kou Mansion to protect you and your grandfather." If anything else happens, they can cooperate with the other guards of the Kou Mansion to fight their way out and send you and your grandfather to me.

As long as you come to me and have me and the more than 100,000 soldiers under my command to support you, no one can help us. ”

"I made a note of this, thank you Uncle Zhu."

Kou Ji agreed and left the Zhu Mansion.

After leaving the Zhu Mansion, Kou Ji stepped on the night and returned to the mansion.

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

At the time of the fourth watch.

Kou Ji got up, put on his court clothes, and went to the court to swing around.

accompanied the officials of the Ministry of Rites and rehearsed the process of Zhao Zhen's wedding in Yanfu Palace.

When leaving the palace in the evening.

Kou Ji found Kou Zhun who was about to go to the Shishitang and asked him to go home.

Kou Zhun asked Kou Ji why he needed to return home, but Kou Ji didn't say anything.

Kou Zhun sent Kou Ji back to his house first.

He handled government affairs in the Shishitang until late at night, when he was carried back to the house.

When I returned to the house, I saw the light in my study on.

After entering the study.

I saw Kou Ji sitting upright in the study, waiting for him.

The grandfather and grandson ordered a table of wine and food and discussed secretly all night.

Thenceforth.

Kou Zhun stayed in the palace for two days and did not enter the palace.

It wasn't until the third day that Li Di sent someone to Kou Mansion in person and invited Kou into the palace that Kou Zhun entered the palace.

Thereafter, seven days.

Kou Zhun returned home six times.

Kou Ji accompanied Kou Zhun and talked deeply six more times.

What the grandfather and grandson talked about, no one knows.

No one delved into it either.

It's not that his grandfather and grandfather don't deserve the attention of others, but the eyes of the government and the opposition are all fixed on the palace.

The official Zhao Zhen's wedding will be held in three days.

Whoever the latter flowers will be revealed immediately.

The eyes of the government and the opposition were all attracted by this incident.

The day after the election.

Kou Ji put on his court clothes early in the morning, followed Kou Zhun into the palace, and went all the way to Yanfu Palace.

When the two grandparents arrived at Yanfu Palace, the Yanfu Palace was empty.

Only some eunuchs and palace ladies are busy.

saw Kou Zhun and his grandson, and hurriedly gave a salute.

Kou Zhun casually responded with a few words, and asked Kou Ji to push him to the side hall to rest.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Kou Zhun couldn't wait to speak: "Do you really want to do that?" ”

Kou Ji sighed, "Didn't grandfather already agree?" ”

Kou Zhun clenched his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "The old man is a little unwilling......"

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "This is the seventh time that you have said that you are unwilling......"

Kou Zhun smacked the handrail of Kou's bus with his fist, "There is no other way?" ”

Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and sighed: "This matter is not only about the lives of our ancestors and grandchildren, but also about the lives of many people. ”

"That's it......"

Kou Zhun let go of his fist weakly, "If the old man doesn't say it, it's ......"

As soon as this remark came out.

The grandfather and grandson fell silent.

No one wants to speak any further.

The two of them are like sculptures, in the side hall.

Until Chen Lin sent someone to summon the two grandchildren to Yanfu Palace.

Kou Ji only had a move.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun to Yanfu Palace.

The palace was already full of people.

The emperor's relatives are among them, and the officials above the fourth rank are also in the palace.

Officials below the fourth grade are not qualified to appear in Yanfu Palace today.

As soon as Kou Zhun arrived, the imperial relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs gathered in the palace automatically made way of the way.

Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun and sat down on the second floor of the imperial stairs in Yanfu Palace.

The rest of the emperor's relatives, civil and military ministers, all have seats, but no one dares to sit down.

After Kou Zhun sat down, Wang Zeng took the initiative to climb to his side and asked, "Taishi has not been in good health in recent days?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned, and said with a stiff smile: "When people are old and weak, it is inevitable that they will be infected with some minor illnesses and pains, and they will not get in the way." ”

"In my opinion, the Taishi is not in poor health, but has something on his mind."

Li Di appeared beside Kou Zhun in a leisurely manner, staring at Kou Zhun and said quietly.

Kou Zhun smiled dryly, "What can the old man have on his mind......

Li Di glanced at Kou Zhun and shook his head: "Brother Kou, your face is full of thoughts, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it." We've worked with you for years, how can you not tell?

If you have anything on your mind, just say it.

We've got you covered. ”

Wang Zeng stared at Kou Zhun and nodded, "It's not a trivial matter to make Brother Kou show such a look." ”

Kou Zhun sighed, "The old man knows...... I can't hide it from you......"

Seeing that Kou Zhun confessed, Li Di hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

Kou Zhun lamented: "Family affairs ......"

When Li Di and Wang Zeng heard this, they were all stunned.

Li Di opened his mouth, but it was difficult to continue to ask.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs.

When they get to this position, they understand this sentence more deeply.

Housework, they are really not good at meddling.

Li Di didn't want to ask Kou Zhun about it, but it didn't prevent him from solving Kou Zhun's worries.

"Kou Ji, come here!"

Li Di glared and greeted Kou Ji not far away.

Kou Ji reluctantly went to Li Di and Wang Zeng's side, and bowed his hand, "Xia Guan has seen Li Gong, I have seen Wang Gong......"

Li Di stretched out his hand and grabbed Kou Ji's ear, and scolded: "What did you kid do to lack morality, and make Brother Kou unhappy?" ”

Kou Ji said innocently: "I didn't do anything?" Besides, I'm not the kind of person who does things that lack virtue, am I? ”

Li Di snorted coldly: "If you kid doesn't do things that lack virtue, I will write the character upside down." ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he muttered, "Is there any difference?" ”

Li Di, Wang Zeng, and Kou Zhun were all stunned when they heard this.

Immediately.

Wang Zeng laughed loudly.

A rare soothing smile appeared on Kou Zhun's face.

Only Li Di shouted angrily: "You kid has itchy skin, right?" ”

"Lao Tzu will teach you a good lesson for Brother Kou today."

Li Gong ...... It's a ......."

“……”

Li Di snatched a whisk from the eunuch's hand and chased after Kou Ji to fight.

Kou Ji naturally didn't sit still and hurriedly dodged.

The imperial relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs in the palace looked at Kou Ji being chased and fled in embarrassment, with a look of envy.

It's just a look of envy.

Li Di ignored Chaoyi and chased after Kou Ji.

It seems a little ridiculous.

But it is indeed a sign of intimacy.

When Li Di treated them, he was not like this.

When you can kill someone, you won't be ambiguous at all.

Chasing them and fighting?

How old are they?

Also with Li Di doing it himself?

The executioners and officials raised by the imperial court eat dry rice?

"Li Xiang, don't fight...... The Queen Mother and the official family are almost here......"

At the risk of being beaten, a little eunuch hugged Li Di and reminded him.

Li Di dropped the dust and snorted coldly at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji stopped and laughed dryly.

"The Queen Mother drove to ......"

"The official family arrives in ......"

With two shrill shouts.

The imperial relatives and civil and military ministers in Yanfu Palace stood up separately.

Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Chen Lin, appeared in Yanfu Palace and sat on the dragon chair.

The emperor's relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs all paid a visit.

Subsequently, Liu E, who had not appeared in front of people for a long time, appeared in the palace with the support of Guo Huai.

In the welcoming sound of the emperor's relatives and civil and military ministers, he sat on the seat next to Zhao Zhen.

Wait until the emperor's relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs give salutes again.

Liu E said lightly: "After the election of the official family today, I still have to rely on you Aiqing......"

"Don't dare, this is a matter within the courtier's ......"

The ministers bowed in unison.

Liu Heng glanced at Zhao Zhen and snorted, "The official family ......"

Zhao Zhen nodded, and instructed Chen Lin: "Please sit down." ”

The ministers said in unison: "Thank you to the official family, thank you to the mother......"

Then everyone sat down.

After Zhao Zhen asked Liu E and Kou Zhun for advice, he asked Chen Lin to read out a long list of post-election speeches.

And then the official selection begins.

Chen Lin held a volume of documents, stood in the hall, and said loudly: "After the selection of Qingfang Palace, one hundred and eighty-three talented and virtuous women are specially selected for the official family to ......."

"Xuan ...... Guo Yungong, the second daughter of Guo Yungong, deputy envoy of Jincheng Chongyi, Yingzhou......"

"Zhending Prefecture, Lingshou County, Shangshu Yu, member of the Wailang Cao Xi's eldest daughter, Cao Shi's ......"

“……”

"Kaifeng Prefecture, Yongan County, Shizhou Governor Zhang Yaofeng's eldest daughter Zhang's ......"

“……”

"Zhang Yaofeng, the second daughter of Zhang Yaofeng, the second daughter of Shizhou Governor in Yongan County, Kaifeng Prefecture......"

“……”

"Kaifeng Mansion Driving Department member Wailang Xiang Chuanliang young daughter Xiangshi"

“……”

Chen Lin announced in one breath that one hundred and eighty-three women were taken.

One hundred and eighty-three women, under the call of Chen Lin, entered the palace in turn.

The first to enter the palace was naturally Liu E's favorite daughter of the Guo family.

In order to help her sit in the back seat, Liu E can be regarded as playing some tricks.

not only let her be the first to enter the palace, but she was familiar with it in front of the ministers, but also specially prepared a red dress for her that was different from other women, standing in front of the women, very conspicuous.

It feels like it's standing out from the crowd.

Some officials saw Guo and secretly exclaimed in admiration.

Guo Shi heard the praise of the ministers, and his neck was raised high.

Kou Ji glanced at her and smiled coldly in his heart.

Everyone else thinks that she stands out from the crowd and has a phoenix posture.

Only Kou Ji knew it in his heart.

This woman is a scourge.

If she becomes the queen, she will be pampered and arrogant with the support of Liu E, and embarrass Zhao Zhen everywhere.

After this woman, Kou Ji had already arranged it for her properly, so Kou Ji didn't bother to spend his attention on her.

Koji searched the crowd.

found the sister of the Cao family, the daughter of the Zhang family.

The figure of the little sister of the Xiang family, Kou Ji looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see it.

Kou Ji couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Could it be that he was dismissed?" Shouldn't it? ”

Kou Ji couldn't help but look carefully in the crowd again, and finally saw the little sister of the Xiang family in the middle of the crowd.

Xiang's little sister stood in an inconspicuous corner, and it was difficult to find it if she didn't look closely.

At this moment, the little sister of the Xiang family has long lost the arrogance of the past on her face, and has been replaced by a sad face.

In order to be rich and rich, the Xiang brothers pushed their daughters into the fire pit, and Kou Ji didn't know what to say.

Kou Ji carefully looked at the one hundred and eighty-three women, and saw that some of them were calm, some were nervous, and some of them had excitement in their eyes, and he couldn't help but want to laugh a little in his heart.

Those who are calm probably have accepted their fate, or rather, they already know their fate.

That's why he behaved very calmly.

Those who are nervous are probably afraid of coming out and want to come out, so they will show nervousness.

Those whose eyes flashed with excitement probably thought that they could stand out among the many women, fly on the branches and become phoenixes, so that the whole family would follow.

Kou Ji was eager to open his mouth to remind the pickers.

Don't think about it.

Wash and sleep.

As early as the moment you were selected as a bride, the status of many of you has been decided.

The status of your fathers in the family has already determined your status in the palace in the future.

The only exception is that Zhao Zhen can take a fancy to you at a glance and give you some status.

But.

Zhao Zhen is now full of the daughter of the Zhang family, where can she be tolerated.

After all the 183 women entered the palace.

Chen Lin held a volume of edicts and read a lot of them.

And then.

The ministers, together with Liu E and Zhao Zhen, began to take the school exam.

Poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

There's always something good at it.

You can take it out and shine it, and choose the best of the best.
