Kou Ji stepped into the main hall and saw a middle-aged man staring at Du Yan with an arrogant face.

Du Yan saw Kou Ji, got up and arched his hand, and said to the middle-aged man: "The person you want to see is here." ”

The middle-aged man turned his head sideways and saw Kou Ji coming in with a prayer post, and said very unceremoniously: "You are Kou Ji?" I am ......"

Kou Ji didn't look at him, and said lightly: "I don't want to know who you are, you can get out." ”

The middle-aged man's face sank, and he shouted, "Kou Ji, I'm from the Wei Palace." ”

Kou Ji threw the worship note in his hand on the table in the main hall, returned the salute to Du Yan, and then turned around and stared at the middle-aged man, and snorted coldly: "Wei Wangfu?!" ”

"In today's Great Song Dynasty, how can there be a King of Wei?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face changed greatly, and he was about to scold.

I heard Kou Ji continue to snort coldly: "Thinking that you are ignorant and leave you alive, you have actually intensified, you simply don't know whether you live or die." Drag me out on the right and left, dig a pit in the avenue of the city, bury it in it, leave only one head outside, and after ten days, if he is still alive, let him go. ”

The middle-aged man's face changed again, and he stared at Kou Ji and shouted in horror: "Kou Ji, you dare!" I'm from Fangling Wei Wangfu! ”

Kou Ji ignored him as if he hadn't heard him.

The leader of the patrol guard appeared in the main hall with someone, took it down on the spot, stuffed a stinky sweat towel in his mouth, and dragged him out of the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

After the middle-aged man was escorted out of the main hall, Kou Ji stared at Du Yan and said with a puzzled expression: "A flea, why are you so polite to him?" Don't you tell me, you have to look at the owner to beat the dog? ”

Who is Du Yan?

The chief officer of the Imperial Observatory.

Up and down the government and the opposition, as long as he looks unpleasant, there is nothing that cannot be scolded.

Among them is the official Zhao Zhen.

Kou Ji didn't believe that Du Yan would be afraid of a so-called servant of the Wei Mansion in Fangling.

Du Yan didn't answer Kou Ji's words, stared at Kou Ji for a few moments, and confirmed that Kou Ji came out of the grief of Xiang Minzhong's death before he spoke: "In Hexi, I am just a staff member you paid to hire, but I am not the chief official of the Yushitai, so naturally I can't easily dispose of people. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, stared at Du Yan and asked, "In the past, the Wei Wangfu was not entrenched in the Fangling area?" How did it jump out? ”

Just now, the middle-aged man mentioned the Fangling Wei Palace.

It is the line of Zhao Yanmei, who was demoted to Fangling by Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi for the crime of treason.

Although Zhao Guangyi deprived Zhao Yanmei of his title and identity, he did not kill them all, and all the people in his vein were sent to Fangling.

After Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he remembered the brotherhood of the past, recalled a few cousins who were not successful, returned to Bianjing City as officials, and allowed other cousins of Zhao Yanmei's lineage to be officials in the Fangling area.

Now in the area of Fangling, the upper and lower officials are all people of Zhao Yanmei's lineage.

The area around Fangling can be said to have become the self-reserved place of Zhao Yanmei's lineage.

The children of Zhao Yanmei's lineage, who were recalled back to Bianjing City, were hacked to death by Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng on the Star Picking Tower, and then half of them were disposed of, and they were almost killed cleanly.

It stands to reason that Zhao Yanmei's lineage, who stayed in Fangling, should have shrunk up like a rabbit, why did she jump out again.

Du Yan heard Kou Ji's question and sighed, "The rebellion of the Eight Kings, the burning of the palace by the King of Chu, and the royal family in Bianjing City have almost been dispatched. Now there are few people left in the royal family in Bianjing City.

Someone wrote to the official family, asking the official family to recall the Wei Wangfu lineage and enrich the Ding Kou in the royal family of Bianjing.

The official family was a little moved. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Who is so stupid?" ”

The corners of Du Yan's mouth twitched, and his face was a little unpleasant: "My subordinate officer Liu Ping." ”

Kou Ji stared at Du Yan in amazement, "What is the purpose?" With the example of the Eight Kings and the King of Chu, it is enough to alert everyone in the government and the opposition, and you still want to bring out a disaster? ”

Liu Pingzuo asked the imperial court to recall the Wei Wangfu, Du Yan must be an insider, and nodded too much.

Liu Ping, as a subordinate official under Du Yan, invited such a big matter, without Du Yan's nod, it probably didn't want to be mixed up in the Yushitai.

Du Yan sighed and said frankly: "I won't hide it from you, Liu Pingzuo asked the official family to recall the Wei Wangfu, which I acquiesced." The purpose of this is to prevent the heirs of the official family from prospering. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows.

Du Yan continued: "With the example of the first emperor in front, we have to guard against it. The heirs of the first emperor were not prosperous, there were reasons for erysipelas, and there were other reasons. ”

"Harem?!"

Kou Ji said in a deep voice.

Du Yan nodded and said, "The battle in my harem is far more fierce than the previous dynasties. The reason why it has not been spread is because the successive officials, as well as those of us, have been working hard to whitewash the peace of the harem. ”

Kou Ji's face sank, "So recalling the Wei Wangfu is a kind of precaution?" ”

Du Yan nodded slowly.

Kou Ji snorted coldly and said, "You also saw how the people of the Wei Wangfu were domineering just now. They haven't appeared in Bianjing City yet, so they are so domineering. If they appear in Bianjing City, it will only be more domineering.

They're so domineering, and you're going to recall them? ”

Du Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will find a way to restrain them, but it is imperative to recall them." ”

Kou Ji widened, gritted his teeth and said, "The official family is still young now!" He will surely have many children in the future. ”

Du Yan let out a sigh of relief and said, "No one can say for sure about the royal affairs. ”

Kou Ji said angrily: "Do you dare to tell the official family the truth about this?" Do you dare to recall you to the truth of the Wei Wangfu lineage and tell the official family the truth? Do you believe it or not, the officials cut you down. ”

Du Yan said quietly: "The orderly replacement of the throne is the key to the smooth continuation of the Great Song Dynasty." Compared with the orderly replacement of the throne, my Du Yan's life is nothing. ”

In Du Yan's eyes, the foundation of all the Great Song Dynasty comes from the inheritance of the throne.

If there is a problem with the inheritance of the throne, everything in the Great Song Dynasty will go wrong.

So he only cares about the inheritance of the throne of the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji roared angrily: "Don't you know that I have a deep relationship with the official family? ”

Du Yan said indifferently: "I know ......"

Kou Ji said angrily: "Then you still dare to say this in front of me." ”

Du Yan stared at Kou Ji seriously and said, "You are a smart person, and you are also a person who can make Da Song richer and more powerful. As long as there are no accidents, you will be the leader of all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

As a leader, he should naturally know the lifeblood of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji said loudly: "I advise you to give up this idea, give up letting the Wei Wangfu enter Bianjing City, and dispel the idea that the official family will not be able to give birth to an heir."

I firmly believe that the official family will definitely give birth to children. ”

Du Yan stared at Kou Ji and said, "What if? ”

"No in case."

"It's hard to say anything about the world."

"You can leave."

“……”

Du Yan sighed, arched his hand, and walked outside the main hall.

After taking two steps, he heard Kou Ji's cold voice ring behind him.

"You help me with the remuneration of government affairs, and I will send someone to deliver it to you later. You don't have to stay in Hexi, go back to Bianjing as soon as possible. ”

Du Yan paused, turned around and looked at Kou Ji, and said in disbelief: "Why is Yongguo Gong so ruthless? ”

"Am I ruthless?"

Kou Ji sneered: "He has no brother or brother, and he is not as weak as the crown, so he has to watch his father die, his uncle takes his place, his aunt and uncle kill each other, and almost all the relatives who are close to him leave him." All cruel things have happened to him, and you still want to do this to him behind his back?

Am I ruthless, or are you ruthless? ”

Du Yan pondered for a moment and lamented, "Heavenly family...... Ruthless! ”

Kou Ji pointed at himself and roared angrily: "I have love! ”

Du Yan sighed, "That's it......"

Du Yan didn't say anything more and walked out of the main hall.

After Du Yan left, Kou Ji ordered in a very bad mood, "Go and send a message to my guards and ask them to cut off that bullshit slave from the Wei Palace, and throw his head into the field to feed the wolves." ”

"Go and tell Chen Lin that dog slave and let him stop staring at those gold and silver treasures. Let him get over to me. ”

“……”

As Kou Ji's order was conveyed, the person who was dragged out of the Wei Mansion in Fangling by the guards was half buried deep, and his head was cut off, and blood was sprinkled all over the ground.

It shocked all the servants of the powerful families who were stranded in Xiliang City.

They immediately restrained their actions in Xiliang City, and ran to Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang's residence one by one to place them.

Chen Lin was summoned by Kou Ji, shook off the dust, and walked into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the main hall door, he shouted: "Grandpa Guo, the slaves and maids still have to guard the money of the court." If it is lost because of your summons, the slave and maid go back, how to explain to the official family and the two Zaifu of the inner court. ”

"Shut up!"

Kou Ji rarely scolded Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, his face sank, "Grandpa Guo is so majestic......"

Kou Ji wrote hard, finished writing a long letter, and after writing it, he quickly sealed it, threw down the pen, stared at Chen Lin and said, "The money is gone, we can grab it again." If the official family is killed by popularity, there is no need for you, a slave, to live. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, his face changed drastically, and his eyes were cold and terrifying, "Someone wants to murder the official?" ”

Kou Ji handed the letter in his hand to Chen Lin and instructed: "You take the letter yourself, rush back all the time, and send it to the official family." ”

Chen Lin took the letter, carefully put it in his arms, stared at Kou Ji and asked in a deep voice: "Who is going to murder the official family, and our family wants to break his neck with our own hands." ”

Kou Ji said with a gloomy face: "You don't have to ask much about this matter, quickly send the letter back to the official family, if the official family is willing to tell you, they will naturally tell you." ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, touched the chest holding the letter, and muttered: "It's all in the letter? ”

Koji nodded.

Chen Lin didn't ask much, glanced at Kou Ji, and snorted: "For the sake of your official family, our family will not hold a grudge against you for scolding our family." ”

Kou Ji said with a dark face: "Hurry up and get out......"

Chen Lin snorted at Kou Ji again, and left the City Lord's Mansion with the letter in his hand.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he selected a few people who accompanied him and ran outside Xiliang City with his horse.

He didn't even look at the gold and silver jewels that he had previously regarded as his heart.

In his eyes, no amount of gold, silver and jewelry is as important as the safety of the official family.

After Chen Lin left, Kou Ji sat alone in the City Lord's Mansion for a day.

Until nightfall.

He got up slowly, looked at the half-round waning moon floating in the sky, and said faintly: "In the history books, the official family really has no heirs to inherit the unification. Now, not necessarily. But we have to guard against it.

If there are still no heirs after the official family, then don't blame me for lifting this plate. ”

Kou Ji's figure, along with Kou Ji's words, dissipated into the thick night, and no one heard or saw it.

……

Following.

Early morning.

After Kou Ji got up, he went out of the city lord's mansion, and took out the gold, silver and jewelry that he had seized, the one that belonged to him, and the one needed to govern Hexi, and packed the rest into boxes and sealed them.

Then he handed it over to Du Yan and asked Du Yan to take 10,000 soldiers and escort him back to the court.

Du Yan was in the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and broke up with Kou Ji, so today, when he saw Kou Ji, he didn't say anything to Kou Ji.

The two have their own ideas and opinions about the future, and it is difficult to talk about them together, so it is better not to say it.

The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

After Du Yan counted all the gold, silver and jewelry, he led 10,000 soldiers to escort the gold, silver and jewelry and left Xiliang City.

After Du Yan left.

Kou Ji returned to the city lord's mansion and summoned all the disciples and children of the powerful families who came to Hexi to share the profits.

Who can share the benefits of Hexi, who can't.

Kou Ji doesn't need to go through them one by one.

Those who were willing to help Hexi do things, and gave private gifts to Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, and Kou Ji, Kou Ji shared part of their interests.

Not a dime.

Kou Ji didn't bother at all.

The distribution of interests in Hexi lasted for more than half a month.

Half a month later.

The distribution of Hexi's interests was completed.

The disciples and children of the powerful families in Xiliang City left Xiliang City one after another.

There will be a complaint in Bianjing.

There are also those who go to Shazhou, Guazhou, Ganzhou and other places to manage the benefits they have assigned.

When Kou Ji distributed the benefits, he made it very clear to all of them.

All the elites who have been allocated to Hexi must help the people who are now cultivating fertile land, planting land, and planting trees.

After the grain was harvested in the first year, and the people took the grain, the fields they were allocated to were truly theirs.

The protégés and children of the powerful families are not dissatisfied with this.

The people of Fangling Wei Wangfu were all cut off by Kou Ji, and they didn't think that their own heads were harder than those of Fangling Wei Wangfu.

They consoled themselves that they had already taken advantage of a large amount of fertile land in Hexi at a very small price, and how could they dare to ask for anything else.
