Whether Wang Shu is hypocritical or not, Kou Ji is unwilling to judge in front of Xiang Minzhong.

Xiang Minzhong was qualified to judge Wang Shu in public, but he didn't.

With Xiang Minzhong's status, even if he spits in the palace, the eunuchs in the palace will come forward and ask him if he is spitting and if he wants to take another bite.

That's the advantage of age and seniority.

Kou Ji doesn't have that status, nor does he have that age and qualifications.

He just made a secret note of it.

In the past, he was very honest with Wang Shu, but he had to be on guard in the future.

Xiang Minzhong saw that Kou Ji didn't speak, and said again: "Someone made a hindrance before, you don't know about it, the old man doesn't blame you." But today, the old man said this in front of you, do you dare to say that you don't know? ”

Xiang Minzhong pressed forward step by step, and Kou Ji, who was pressing, had nothing to say.

Kou Ji's mind raced to find a tactful, non-hurtful refusal.

But I really can't think of it for a while.

Just when Kou Ji was forced by Xiang Minzhong to be helpless, the girl who had left the side hall just now suddenly burst out of the back hall.

She cried, "Grandfather, I won't marry him...... It's impossible to marry him in this life......"

Seeing this, Xiang Minzhong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort the girl.

It can be seen that Xiang Minzhong loves the girl very much.

Otherwise, the girl would not dare to break into the side hall so grandly.

Xiang Minzhong did not blame her, but comforted her softly.

The girl made such a fuss, but she helped Kou Ji to break the siege.

Xiang Minzhong no longer persecuted Kou Ji, but shouted coldly to Kou Ji: "You kid don't get out of ...... quickly"

His tone towards Kou Ji was not polite at all.

Kou Ji was pardoned, arched his hand, and ran outside the Kou Mansion.

As soon as Kou Ji left, Xiang Minzhong pulled the girl and comforted him in a low voice.

After comforting for a long time, I saw that the girl was still crying.

So he gave up his identity, made a grimace, and made the girl laugh.

The girl was giggling.

Xiang Minzhong was grimacing.

Kou Ji's figure made a ghost appear in the Xiangfu Hall again.

When Xiang Minzhong and the girl saw Kou Ji at the same time, the expressions on their faces froze.

"Ah......h

The girl screamed, covered her face and ran into the back hall.

Xiang Minzhong pulled the corners of his mouth, withdrew the hand that was pulling his face, darkened his face, glared at Kou Ji, and said coldly: "Why are you back again?" ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly: "The kid was just halfway through, and suddenly remembered that he came to Xiangfu this time to ask Grandpa Xiang." ”

Xiang Minzhong didn't think about it, waved his hand and said, "No way, get out......"

After a pause, he stared at Kou Ji again and threatened: "Don't tell what happened just now, otherwise the old man will strangle you." ”

Kou Ji nodded heavily and promised, "The kid will never say it." ”

"Fuck off......"

"Well, you still owe the kid a favor and haven't paid it back......"

Xiang Minzhong raised his eyebrows, "So you came to collect debts?" ”

Xiang Minzhong slowly sat down and said quietly: "The old man owes you a person to invite, and you should come to collect debts." But the old man's ugly words are ahead, and the old man returned your invitation, and from now on, you will have nothing to do with our Xiangfu. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Our two families are friends in the world......

Xiang Minzhong said nonchalantly: "You don't have my son-in-law in Koufu, nor is it my maiden family in Xiangfu, what kind of world friend is it." ”

Kou Ji was stunned.

Xiang Minzhong glanced at him and said indifferently: "Say, how do you want the old man to repay your favor?" ”

Kou Ji hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The kid wants to ask Grandpa to help him move his official position." Six, or the Imperial Historical Tower, will do. ”

Xiang Minzhong glared at Kou Ji, and said angrily: "The imperial court is opened by your family?" You can go wherever you want? ”

After a pause, he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing when you transferred to the sixth department?" That's the Qingshui Yamen, and it's nothing to ask for. Besides, if you want to transfer to the sixth department to sit on the cold bench, you don't need to ask the old man at all. Find your grandfather and hand you a notebook, and the queen will happily agree. ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly: "The kid doesn't ask my grandfather, he has his own troubles, so it's inconvenient to tell Grandpa Xiang." Grandpa Xiang thinks that the six parts are inappropriate, and he can arrange for the kid to enter the Yushi Terrace. ”

Xiang Minzhong stared at Kou Ji and sneered: "You kid is the Jinshi on that list?" Non-jinshi does not give the officer, don't you know this rule? ”

Kou Ji said with a weak heart: "Although the kid is not from a Jinshi, the kid is a protégé of the Son of Heaven......"

Xiang Minzhong said angrily: "You still know that you are a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and the protégé of the Son of Heaven entered the Yushitai, what official position was awarded to you?" An ordinary imperial history? Those are all seven-rank official bodies. Is it worthy of the signboard of your protégé?

Doctor Yushi, Yushi Zhongcheng, can you afford it?

Where else can you go except for the six? ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Xiang Minzhong said again: "Don't wait for the criminal department, you have to go to the sixth department to sit on the cold bench." You are embarrassed to complain that the old man's granddaughter has a brain problem, and the old man sees that it is you who really has a brain problem. ”

Kou Jiba smacked his lips and said, "You always say if you can do it." ”

Xiang Minzhong glared at Kou Ji and pouted, "It can be done, it can definitely be done." You are a judge of the Criminal Division, you have to go to the Sixth Department to sit on the cold bench, how can you not do it?

You have to be in a hurry, the old man will let you go tomorrow. ”

Although Xiang Minzhong does not have much real power in the court now, he can't stand his high qualifications, many protégés, and several sons in high positions by themselves.

When he says a word, sometimes it works better than a word that Kou Zhun says.

After all, he is already in semi-retirement, and if anyone wants to embarrass him, they can't find a way to deal with him.

If someone really can bring him down, he probably will celebrate with a crown, and maybe even send a plaque to the person who brought him down.

He wants to retire now, he wants to be brought down.

Because he knew very well in his heart that he had become a stumbling block to the advancement of his sons.

As long as he was in the morning day, it would be difficult for his sons to climb up.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty envied the Xiang family, but no one wanted to see the Xiang family full of purple.

Kou Ji saw that Xiang Minzhong agreed, so he excitedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you Grandpa Xiang." ”

Xiang Minzhong waved his hand in disgust, "Get out......"

Kou Ji didn't say a word and left the side hall of Xiangfu.

After Kou Ji left, Xiang Minzhong sat in the side hall, thinking to himself, muttering in his mouth, "This kid is not a good stubble, he suddenly left behind the sought-after yamen like the Criminal Division, and ran to the sixth department to sit on the cold bench, there must be a plan."

Take a look, old man, and see what you can do. ”

"Daddy......"

Just when Xiang Minzhong was muttering to himself, his eldest son, Xiang Chuanzheng, appeared in the side hall.

Xiang Chuanzheng is fifty and six, with black and white hair, wearing a Confucian suit, he is an official Dr. Guozi, so he often likes to keep a straight face.

When he straightens his face, he always has a look of not being angry and arrogant.

When he arrived at the side hall, he bowed to Xiang Minzhong, and then said, "Dad, I heard that you have dispelled the idea of letting Yan'er marry Kou Ji?" ”

Xiang Minzhong blew his beard and glared, "Who said that?" Since the old man has chosen him as his grandson-in-law, he will definitely marry his granddaughter to him. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "Yan'er just said ......"

Xiang Minzhong squinted his eyes and said angrily: "Who in this mansion counts?" ”

Xiang Chuanzheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "Naturally, it's you." ”

Xiang Minzhong snorted: "That's not over...... The old man decided that he was his grandson-in-law, so he couldn't run. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Dad, I heard Yan'er say that Kou Ji's kid doesn't know how to lift, you gave up your face and personally opened your mouth to promise Yan'er to him, but he didn't agree."

If this spreads, others will think that I can't marry the daughter of Xiangfu.

When the time comes, it will not only dishonor my reputation as a mansion, but also your reputation.

If you want me to see it, this marriage might as well be stopped. ”

Xiang Minzhong pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "You know a fart......"

Xiang Chuanzheng seemed to be accustomed to being scolded by Xiang Minzhong, he did not insult Xiang Minzhong, but seriously analyzed: "Now that Kou Zhun has lost his position and is paralyzed in bed, his henchmen are being suppressed by the queen and Ding Xiang, and they are retreating one after another.

Koufu is defeated, and that is a matter of time.

It's not a good thing to give Yan'er to Kou Ji.

Once Kou Fu is defeated, Yan'er will have to suffer with Kou Ji. ”

Xiang Minzhong glared at his son and sneered: "You know a fart!" seems to be the kind of gluttonous minister, and his position in the court will not last long. If the Kou Mansion falls, the next one to fall will be the Hating Mansion.

The queen is in power and seems unstoppable.

But do you think that the Manchu civil and military will sit idly by?

Who would want to be ridden on the head by a woman?

Who wants to see a Wu Cao appear? ”

Xiang Minzhong saw that his son was unconvinced, and said: "Even if the queen is in charge of the imperial court, it will eventually be handed over to the prince." The official family has such a son, even if she wants to emulate Wu Cao and change someone, she can't do it.

Therefore, whether it is the queen or Ding Wei, they just look tall and strong.

In fact, they are all duckweed on the water.

Once the prince grows up, these duckweed are destined to dissipate with the waves.

Therefore, the only one who has a really stable position in the government and the opposition is the prince.

It is better to follow the prince than to follow whomever he wants. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng said a little unconvinced: "What if the queen chooses one of the clans to replace the crown prince?" ”

Xiang Minzhong glared at his son and scolded: "So I said, you know a fart." If she really dares to choose one of the clans to replace the crown prince, then she will not live to the end of the year.

Don't look at the Zhao clan's relatives, they are kind to us ministers, and you think they are good.

The reason why they are so good to us is to coax us and let us help them manage the country and society.

But for their own people, they are ruthless.

How Emperor Taizu ascended to the throne, don't you know?

How Emperor Taizong ascended to the throne, don't you know?

Don't you know what the official family did after they took the throne? ”

Xiang Chuanzheng was stunned and muttered: "After the official family took the throne, many female dependents in the palace were driven out of the palace......

Xiang Minzhong snorted coldly: "The twists and turns in this matter, the old man has heard and witnessed it with his own ears. In order to prove his innocence, Emperor Taizong swore in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty that there were not many young girls in the palace.

But after the official family ascended the throne, thousands of female dependents were driven away from the palace.

Emperor Taizong's words to prove his innocence back then also became a joke.

There are some disrespectful words, and the old man is inconvenient to say more, but you should know it very well in your heart. ”

Xiang Minzhong really wants to say that the bullying of the minister, the bullying of the younger brother, the bullying of the father of the son, the things that should not be done, they have all done it, are you really good at the Zhao royal family?

But this is a big disrespectful word, he can only order Xiang Chuanzheng and let him realize himself.

Xiang Chuanzheng is not stupid, Xiang Minzhong said it so thoroughly, he naturally guessed what Xiang Minzhong wanted to convey to him.

Xiang Minzhong saw his son frowning, silent, and said: "Among the Zhao royal family, there is no one who can compare to the prince's benevolence. As long as the queen does not want to kill herself, it is impossible to find someone to replace the crown prince. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng pondered for a long time, and then said, "Even if the prince's position is unshakable, it has nothing to do with you giving Yan'er to Kou Ji?" ”

Xiang Minzhong snorted coldly, "You know a fart, Kou Ji's wisdom is far from what you can imagine. When the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty were still on the officials, Kou Zhun, and the queen, his eyes had already fallen on the crown prince.

He made a move on the prince in advance, which made the prince believe in him.

He was in the palace, but in just a few dozen days, the prince treated him as a brother in his heart.

What is going on with him now, the old man can't say for sure, but once the prince is in power.

He will inevitably become the most dazzling minister in the court. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng looked stunned and exclaimed, "How is this possible? ”

Xiang Minzhong sneered: "How is this impossible? Do you know that it was because of his words that he would not let the prince waste his martial arts, and he forced the prince to go on a hunger strike for two days. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng looked stunned.

Xiang Minzhong said coldly: "Kou Ji reminds the prince not to waste martial arts. The queen couldn't see the prince getting close to Kou Ji, nor could she see the prince practicing martial arts, so after Kou Ji left the palace, she stopped the prince from practicing martial arts.

The prince went on a hunger strike for two days and fought against the queen.

In the end, it was the queen, not the crown prince, who compromised.

The queen gave a gag order about this matter, so not many people know about it.

The old man happened to be one of them.

From this incident, it is not difficult to see that Kou Ji's position in the prince's heart is unshakable.

As long as he can win Kou Ji, the grandson-in-law, even if the old man dies, the Xiang family can keep three generations rich.

This is the reason why the old man insists on marrying his granddaughter to Kou Ji. ”

Xiang Chuanzheng said in disbelief: "People will become, children don't believe it, after Kou Ji leaves the palace, the prince will still trust him as before." ”

Xiang Minzhong sneered: "The last person who didn't believe that the prince would always trust Kou Ji, do you know who he is?" ”

"Who?"

"Yan Shu!"

Xiang Minzhong said Yan Shu's name loudly, "He is younger than you, but his official position is higher than you, and he is smarter than you." He also didn't believe that the prince would always trust Kou Ji, so when he was by the prince's side, he frequently admonished the prince and entered Kou Ji's slander.

Do you know how the prince treats him now? ”

Xiang Chuanzheng shook his head.

Xiang Minzhong sneered: "The prince now thinks of him every day except when he pours night incense, and the rest of the time, he doesn't say a word to him." ”
