Xiang Yan happily agreed, and immediately sent someone to pass the word, and at the same time instructed the maids to boil hot water and let Kou Ji wash up.

Khao has a large bathing pool.

Kou Ji likes to wash in the pool on weekdays.

He really can't get used to the bathtub thing.

After the maids boiled the water and filled the pool, Kou Ji lay down comfortably in it.

Not long after Kou Ji lay down in the bath, Su Shi squeezed in with a ghostly head.

Then Su Jingxian, Di Yong, Zhao Run, and Zhao Ze all squeezed in one after another.

Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong saw that Su Shi and the others were not kicked out outside the bathhouse, and they also squeezed into the bathhouse.

A few little guys were very curious about the big stars falling from the sky, so they didn't feel sleepy at all, and they came to Kou Ji one by one, grabbed Kou Ji and asked about the big stars.

Kou Ji took the trouble to tell a few little guys about the fall of the big star, and promised to go back and take them to see the big star up close, so as to get rid of the entanglement of a group of little guys.

Kou Ji sent the little ones away, washed them up, and went back to his bedroom, and fell asleep.

He was so sleepy that he fell asleep with a pillow.

I slept until dawn.

After getting up, someone hurried into Kou's mansion and handed a note to Kouji.

Kou Ji read the note and let out a long sigh.

Xiang Yan helped Kou Ji tidy up her clothes and asked, "Why is Xianggong sighing?" ”

Kou Ji sighed: "The king once led people to block the palace gate of the harem and forced the official family to appoint the crown prince. The official family was furious and ordered to leave the dynasty for three days. ”

Xiang Yan hesitated and said, "It's a good thing to be crowned a prince, why doesn't the official family agree?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan, shook his head and said, "In a short period of time, it is indeed a good thing. But after a long time, it is a life talisman, and it needs everyone's life talisman. ”

Xiang Yan thought about it for a while, and then understood the deep meaning of Kou Ji's words.

Xiang Yan helped Kou Ji put on the jade crown and asked, "Xianggong doesn't plan to participate in this matter?" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "I'm not in that mood." ”

Kou Ji tidied up his clothes, walked out of the bedroom door, and went to the study.

Several of his students had already washed and eaten.

Kou Ji gave them some articles to read in the morning, and then went down to eat.

While eating, a letter of worship was delivered to him.

It was all prayer notes from his students, and Kou Ji did not turn them away, but told the butler to go out and tell the servants who had sent the prayer posts that they had met when they would meet, and the servants who had come to deliver the prayer posts had left.

After Kou Ji had eaten, he went to the study and taught the students for a while, and it was already noon.

Kou Ji gave them homework for the afternoon, and instructed Wang Anshi to take care of them, and then went to the side hall himself.

When I arrived at the side hall, I found that the two oldest of the students had arrived.

"Student Fan Zhongyan ......"

"Student Ouyang Xiu ......"

"I've seen Mr. ......"

Kou Ji entered the side hall, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, sit down quickly, butler, serve tea." ”

The butler agreed, and went down to serve tea.

Kou Ji walked to the middle of the side hall and sat down.

Kou Ji looked at his two well-known students in the history books, and asked with a smile: "You handed over the greeting post today, officially asking to see me, do you want to ask me for an official?" ”

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.

Fan Zhongyan arched his hand and said: "Mr. said that it was funny, everyone in the world knows that the official should not look for Mr., but should find the secretary of the ministry." ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "The students and others came this time, in fact, they wanted to ask Mr. Zhao Zheng. ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Even so, let's wait until they arrive." ”

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu both nodded in agreement.

The three of them were in the side hall, drinking tea and chatting at the same time.

Due to the different ages of the three people, among them, Fan Zhongyan was more than ten years older than Kou Ji, and Ouyang Xiu was four years younger than Kou Ji.

So the three of them sat together, Fan Zhongyan was more like a gentleman, and Kou Ji and Ouyang Xiu were more like students.

Ouyang Xiu also specially said this matter, which caused Fan Zhongyan to smile bitterly.

While they were talking, Baobao, Wen Yanbo, Su Xun, Tang Jie, and Zhang Fangping were ordered to enter the Bamboo Courtyard.

After arriving at the side hall to salute Kou Ji, he sat aside and talked with Kou Ji.

After everyone arrived, Kou Ji coughed lightly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's get down to business." ”

Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and the others nodded in unison.

Fan Zhongyan was the first to speak, "Sir, Wang Shangshu asked the official family to make the crown prince, and blocked the official family in the palace, and the official family was angry and dropped out of the dynasty for three days.

The students thought about taking this opportunity to play with Wang Shangshu to ask the official family to be crowned the prince, what did Mr. think? ”

Ouyang Xiu and the others nodded in unison after Fan Zhongyan finished speaking.

Kou Ji didn't rush to answer Fan Zhongyan's question, but smiled indifferently: "What is the purpose of appointing the crown prince?" ”

Fu Bi, who was a little chubby, said decisively, "Naturally, it is for the orderly inheritance of the throne." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Then the Han prince Liu Ju and the Tang prince Li Chengqian were made the crown prince early, and they can be passed on to the throne in an orderly manner?" ”

Wen Yanbo groaned: "What does Mr. mean, is it harmful to set up a prince now?" ”

Koji nodded again.

Fan Zhongyan groaned: "The students have also thought about this matter. But there are many heirs in the official family, and if the prince is not established early, I am afraid that other princes will have different hearts. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "The official family is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the prince is harmful and useless in the morning. Moreover, the princes are still young now, and they can't have any dissenting hearts, and when they get older, it's not too late to ask the official family to appoint the crown prince. ”

Bao Zheng said solemnly: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, all of them will be heroes, and it will be difficult to choose the official family." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Isn't there still me?" I will remind the officials who should choose. ”

When Fan Zhongyan and the others heard Kou Ji's words, they no longer discussed the matter of canonizing the crown prince.

Since Kou Ji is willing to be the Seagod Needle, there is no reason for them to rush around for the canonization of the crown prince.

Anyway, as long as Kou Ji doesn't fall, they won't disperse.

They now control many important functions in the DPRK and China.

Their master and apprentice worked together, and they were the general trend in the court, far better than Wang Zeng's stubbornness to trouble Zhao Zhen.

"We finally got together once, and then we had a light meal at the house before leaving."

Fan Zhongyan and others came to visit Kou Ji today, mainly to establish the crown prince.

Now that Koji has suppressed this matter, then they have nothing else to talk about.

Kou Ji invited them all to the dining hall, asked the chef of the house to cook a large table of delicious meals, and then accompanied them to drink and have fun, eat and drink.

In the evening, they were sent away one by one.

After they left, Kou Ji went into the kitchen by himself, tinkered for a long time, left the house with a lunch box, and got into a carriage to go to the palace.

When the carriage arrived at the Jinshui Bridge, it did not stop, but entered the Donghua Gate all the way.

When Kou Ji was the head of the military ministers, he had the power to ride horses in the palace.

Now that he is the head of the civil ministers, he naturally has the power to travel in the palace.

It seems that Wang Zeng, Chen Yaozuo, and Chen Yaozhi also have three old ministers.

It's just that they don't usually use it on weekdays.

One is to remind Zhao Zhen that they are still young.

The second is to not detach from the masses.

In the officialdom, if you can't ride the dust like Kou Ji, you have to be firmly rooted in the masses, otherwise you will be easily targeted.

After all, the top position is far less abundant than the one below.

Those above will not give way, and those who are inferior will not be able to go up.

A turnip has a pit, and if you don't clear a turnip, you can't vacate a new pit.

Kou Ji took the carriage all the way to the gate of the harem, and saw Wang Zeng with more than a dozen ministers, kneeling steadily at the gate of the harem.

Kou Ji glanced at them slightly, and found that some of them, like Wang Zeng, were concerned about their family and country, and some of them were ready to curry favor with Zhao Run and win support.

Kou Ji got out of the carriage, took the food box placed on the wheel, and walked to Wang Zeng, who was kneeling at the front.

Under the gaze of other officials, he slowly squatted beside Wang Zeng.

Wang Zeng knelt for a day, and his body trembled a little.

When he saw Kou Ji, he asked weakly, "Are you here to accompany the old man?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. ”

Wang Zeng didn't know where the strength came from, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Do you think the old man is doing something stupid?" ”

Kou Ji nodded without hesitation.

Wang Zeng blew his beard and glared and shouted: "The old man is defending the country's foundation." ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "You know the price of maintaining the national capital. ”

Wang Zeng snorted coldly: "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, the old man died without regrets. ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "King Keshou is very wronged. He has done nothing, but he will suffer because of your stupidity. ”

Wang Zeng said loudly: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin." King Shou is the eldest son of the royal family, and he was born with great responsibilities, so he naturally has to go through unimaginable hardships. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said with emotion: "This is actually a bit of a refutation, some people have the same great responsibility, but they have not suffered their minds, worked their muscles and bones, and starved their bodies. ”

Kou Ji pointed at himself and said, "That's the kind of person I am. ”

Wang Zeng said disdainfully: "How long has it been, and you have forgotten about your assassination in Xiazhou?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "That can be completely avoided. It was purely because of the negligence of the sweeping soldiers that the Tangut people seized the opportunity.

So whether there was that assassination or not, it didn't matter if I was in a high position. ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "So you're telling the old man that what the sage said is wrong?" ”

Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly: "As long as you are human, you have times to make mistakes. My grandfather also made mistakes a lot, and he himself admitted that if you don't believe me, I'll write a letter to Han Di and ask him to tell you personally. ”

Wang Zeng's face turned dark, and he said coldly: "Since you don't want to accompany the old man, then you can go back." ”

Kou Ji nodded, pushed the food box in front of Wang Zeng, and said, "You eat something, I'll leave immediately." ”

Wang Zeng glared and said, "When you see someone who will give advice while eating?" ”

Kou Ji pointed at himself without any hesitation.

Wang Zeng scolded: "You are a shameless person, you don't count." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "I made it myself." Try it, if you miss it, you won't be able to eat it again. When you get to the bottom of the Nine Springs, you may be angry and explode. ”

Wang Zeng frowned and wanted to refuse.

Kou Ji said in a low voice: "If you don't eat, I'll let the eunuchs in the palace pour some water on those guys behind you, and when the cold wind blows at night, not many people can survive." ”

Wang Zeng almost jumped up in anger, and he stared at Kou Ji fiercely.

Kou Ji looked indifferent.

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "You are ruthless! ”

Wang Zeng knew Kou Ji's temperament, so he didn't dare to bet with Kou Ji on the basis of his identity.

Kou Ji really dared to say and do.

The dozen or so officials in the back, there are no protégés of Kou Ji, and there is no old age of the Kou family, if Kou Ji really wants to open the killing ring, he will definitely not be soft.

Wang Zeng arrogantly snatched the food box from Kou Ji's hand, and distributed the rice, chicken, duck and fish in it to the officials behind him, leaving only a pot of rice wine and a bowl of braised pork.

Wang Zeng picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Seeing this, Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "I know that you are selfless, and I also know that you eat some sweet meat on weekdays, so I made a dish of braised pork for you."

To make sure it fits snugly into your stomach, I've reduced the amount of it.

Because you're definitely going to divide more than that.

Only the little you will stay on your own. ”

Wang Zeng was tasting the taste of braised pork, and when he heard Kou Ji's words, the expression on his face froze, "Only the roast pork was made by you?" ”

Kou Ji smiled, "Otherwise? Do you think anyone is qualified to eat what I made in Kou Ji? ”

Wang Zeng angrily blew his beard and glared at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji was very satisfied with Wang Zeng's reaction, and left the palace with his sleeves thrown up and laughing.

Wang Zeng and his entourage knelt in the palace for three days.

Kou Ji would send things in on time every day for Wang Zeng to eat.

After the fall of the big star recorded in the history books, Kou Ji felt that Wang Zeng might not have much time.

He didn't want to help Wang Zeng harm his apprentice in order to satisfy Wang Zeng's wishes, so he changed his tricks to make food for Wang Zeng.

Three days later.

Zhao Zhen opened the door of the harem, and under the expectation of Wang Zeng and others, he said coldly.

"Shouwang Zhao Run, there is a loss of personal morality, and the ...... of the prince is cut"

Wang Zeng's eyes widened and he fainted on the ground.

Zhao Zhen not only did not make Zhao Run the crown prince because of their advice, but cut Zhao Run's prince.

With such a fierce counterattack, Wang Zeng was a little unable to bear it.

So fainted.

After Zhao Zhen saw Wang Zeng fainting, he also panicked, and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Wang Zeng, and after confirming that Wang Zeng's life was worry-free, he immediately asked Wang Zeng to be sent back to the house.

Wang Zeng opened his eyes again, and it was three days later.

When Wang Zeng opened his eyes, he saw Kou Ji sitting on the edge of his bed.

Kou Ji saw that Wang Zeng woke up and didn't alarm anyone, he stared at Wang Zeng and sighed faintly, "Everyone has a rebellious mentality, and the official family is even more so."

The more you ask him to make a prince, the more he doesn't want to do it.

So the tighter you press, the angrier the officials become.

I'm sure that if you force it any longer, the officials will cut Zhao Run into a commoner. ”

Wang Zeng said with difficulty: "That's the eldest prince!" ”

Kou Ji said indifferently: "Is it expensive or cheap, isn't it just a thought of the official family?" ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said, "Is there no way?" ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "With Zhao Run's identity, he will have to go to the position of the prince sooner or later. With me staring, he won't do anything wrong, so sooner or later the crown prince will be his.

Why are you in a hurry? ”

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "The old man is afraid that he will close his eyes, there will be no more ministers around the official family, the position of the prince will fall, and the royal family will continue to fight blood. ”

Kou Ji said solemnly: "I'll help you watch." ”

Wang Zeng said righteously: "You don't have the determination to die for the Great Song Dynasty, and the old man doesn't believe you." ”

Kou Ji was annoyed, "I don't want to die for Da Song, but I won't hurt Da Song either." ”

Wang Zeng said unceremoniously: "If you don't have the determination to die for the Great Song Dynasty, it means that in your heart, the Great Song Dynasty is far less important than your life."

Who sits on that throne, you don't care at all.

You don't care if the Great Song will be passed on in an orderly manner.

You only protect Zhao Zhen, not Da Song. ”

Kou Ji forcibly held back the anger in his heart and said to Wang Zeng: "I don't want to argue with you about this, I just want to tell you that if you are so bent on going your own way, everyone will not be happy." ”

Wang Zeng said coldly: "If we are happy, then the people will not be happy." ”

Kou Ji hugged his fist at Wang Zeng and left Wang Zeng's bedroom.

After Kou Ji left, Wang Zeng whispered with a complicated expression, "Is it only possible to take the last step now?" ”

As soon as Wang Zeng's words fell, Wang Yi hurriedly entered the bedroom.

"Dad, are you awake?"

Wang Yi said with a happy face: "Child, let's find the imperial doctor to treat you, and by the way, let the kitchen people bring the rice porridge over." ”

Wang Zeng said lightly: "The imperial doctor doesn't need to, you can bring the rice porridge over, by the way, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the old man, and then call your mother over, and then tell the housekeeper to seal the door of the house, and the old man has not seen guests in recent days." ”

Wang Yi didn't understand Wang Zeng's thoughts, so he could only nod and agree, and did as Wang Zeng instructed.

After a while, Wang Yi carried a small wooden table, holding the four treasures of the study, and Wang Li carried rice porridge into Wang Zeng's bedroom.

After Wang Li entered the bedroom, he put the rice porridge on the low table next to Wang Zeng, and asked softly, "Do you want to call the maid to come in and serve?" ”

Wang Zeng shook his head and instructed Wang Yi to put the small wooden table on his bed, and let Wang Yi help himself up.

After Wang Yi had polished the ink, Wang Zeng trembled and picked up the pen and began to write the recital and letters.

Wang Li glanced at it slightly, and his face changed greatly.

"Sir?! You?! ”

Wang Zeng paused for a moment and commanded in a low voice: "Don't be quiet! ”

Wang Li shook his head decisively, "The concubine will never allow you to do this." ”

Wang Zeng took a deep breath and said solemnly: "The old man has been up and down for decades, just for this moment. ”

Wang Li already had tears in his eyes, "Can't you learn from others and be traitors?" Why do you want to be a famous minister, why do you want to be a celebrity in history?

My father was like that, and so were you.

Before his father died, he instructed Wang Dan to be the prime minister, telling Wang Dan that he could not make peace with the enemy country, and he also wrote a letter to tell the first emperor, 'If you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish'.

But Wang Dan didn't think so, and the first emperor didn't listen to his father's dying words.

In the end, the alliance of the abyss was concluded.

After the covenant was made, our Great Song Dynasty was bullied by the Liao State for decades, and the imperial court was controlled by traitors for decades.

My father's hard work was in vain.

Now you are like that.

You are hot-blooded, and no one cares, so why do you gamble with your life? ”

When Wang Li said this, he couldn't stop crying, "Don't any of you care about your relatives?" ”

Wang Zeng closed his eyes in pain, and sighed faintly, "As a minister, Kuang Fu Sheji, he has no regrets about dying." My father-in-law didn't regret it back then, and I won't regret it either. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zeng opened his eyes and looked at Wang Li, and sighed: "I am responsible for you. Stay under the Nine Springs, and I will serve at your knees and repay everything I owe you. ”

Wang Li choked up and said: "The concubine doesn't want you to repay anything, the concubine just wants you to live and accompany the concubine." ”

Wang Zeng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be publicized, otherwise the old man will be hanged in the mansion." ”

Wang Li couldn't say a word, and could only choke with tears.

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said to Wang Yi, who was also in tears: "The old man's rice porridge, you drank it." ”

Wang Yi shook his head with tears in his eyes.

Wang Zeng shouted in a low voice: "If you drink it, you are still the son of the old man, if you don't drink it, you are not the son of the old man." ”

Wang Yitong knelt down in front of Wang Zeng with a puff, and wept bitterly: "Dad, you can kill the child, but you can't force the child to kill his father." ”

Wang Zeng said angrily: "Nonsense, it's the old man who is bent on death, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Wang Zeng pointed to the porridge bowl in front of the bed and said angrily: "If you drink it, the old man can live for two more days, if you don't drink it, the old man will die now." ”

Wang Yi burst into tears, trembling and stretched out his hand to pick up the porridge bowl in front of Wang Zeng's bed.

"Drink!"

"Daddy......"

"Drink!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Wang Yi held the rice porridge, which was mixed with tears, and swallowed it in one gulp.

In the past, Wang Yi felt that rice porridge was a rare moisturizing food in the world, and he liked rice porridge the most.

But now, he feels that rice porridge is more bitter than Coptis chinensis and more difficult to swallow than Coptis chinensis.

Every time he took a sip, it was like molten iron entering his throat, burning his internal organs and tumbling.

Wang Zeng saw Wang Yi finish the rice porridge in the bowl one by one, and slowly went to bed, his voice softer.

"From now on, I went to the kitchen to get three bowls of porridge every day, and drank them all as I did today......"

"Daddy......"

Wang Yi shouted in a low voice.

Wang Zeng slowly closed his eyes, a trace of tears oozed from the corners of his eyes, and muttered in a low voice: "I've suffered you......"

Wang Yi knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his head, and choked silently.

The same is true of Wang Lee.

His father and husband are all world-renowned heroes.

His father is Li Xin, who is known as the 'holy minister', and her husband is a rare three-yuan leader in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people praise him as a virtuous minister.

It stands to reason that with a world-famous father and a world-famous husband, she should be the happiest person in the world.

But in fact, only she knows the bitterness in her heart.

The daughter of Renjie and the wife of Renjie are really tired, and she is so tired that she can't breathe.

Tired, she didn't even dare to cry too loudly in pain, so she could only cover her mouth with her hands, and kept choking, choking, and choking......
