"As a minister, we should naturally help Sheji!"

Wang Zeng pointed at Kou Ji's nose and shouted regardless of his image.

Kou Ji asked rhetorically: "Is it Kuang Fu or guidance?" You have arranged everything clearly, you will only tell the officials what can be done and what cannot be done, and you don't care what the officials think or do.

What was the court like before I appeared?

A large group of you are in control of the government and tell the officials what to do if something goes wrong.

Instead of listening to the instructions of the officials, what to do. ”

Wang Zeng shouted: "We are waiting for the king's lu, but the king's worries, for the king's advice, for the king's adoption, what's wrong?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but you only let the king follow your advice, and you will collectively oppose what the king wants to do." You have not given the king any room to be his own ruler.

When the king goes against your will, you will be coerced by all kinds of death.

If the king kills one or two of you because of this, you will proclaim everywhere that the king is a dumb king.

You have done more than a man should have done.

You have gained fame because of it, but the king has been infamous for it. ”

Wang Zeng angrily pulled Kou Ji's sleeve out of the palace, and when he arrived outside the palace, he found a place where no one was, and roared at Kou Ji with red eyes: "That's an angry dragon, living in the palace, everyone is safe and sound, out of the palace, then you have to turn over the river and the sea." ”

Kou Ji sat down in the unoccupied tea shed that Wang Zeng was looking for, stared at Wang Zeng coldly and said, "Since you want to tie up the angry dragon, why don't you tie the angry dragon to death?"

Completely take the magic power of the angry dragon and the clouds and rain? ”

Wang Zeng almost pounced in front of Kou Ji, and the spit stars were about to spray on Kou Ji's face, "That's the coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, that's Cao Cao's style, and the style of the great traitor." ”

Kou Ji asked rhetorically: "Although my grandfather has become a sage, when he was in charge of the court, what was the difference between his power and methods and that of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"

It is nothing more than a respect for imperial power in his heart than Cao Cao.

But there is no difference in power, practice, and influence.

The rest of you are no different from what my grandfather did.

My grandfather was just sitting a little taller. ”

Wang Zeng heard that Kou Ji even took out Kou Zhun to criticize him, and instantly felt that Kou Ji was crazy.

"What the hell are you going to say?!"

Wang Zeng felt that Kou Ji was crazy, so he didn't want to entangle with Kou Ji.

Kou Ji said lightly: "If you want to take it, just take it directly." Why did you take ninety percent but leave one percent?

In order to maintain its reputation, there is a blind eye to watch the country order out of the second door?

If you have taken power, why don't you govern the country well?

On the contrary, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west will change the governance of a country beyond recognition?

More importantly, if you take power, you don't do anything, and you are not allowed to do it by officials who have 10% of the power in their hands.

Land annexation is well known to everyone in the government and the opposition.

The wealthy families took advantage of this to eat one by one.

Have you ever taken care of it?

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been dozens of rebellions.

The reason why those people rebelled was because the wealthy families annexed land and occupied their fields, forcing them to rebel and survive.

Now that my Great Song Dynasty has laid a huge territory, I want to divide the land among the people who have no land.

Let them live.

But you won't let me.

If the field is taken, the people will stay.

Do you have to force them to rebel before you back down?

I wanted to kill a few people, but your king had stopped me left and right.

When they lie on their stomachs and eat meat and drink blood, why don't they see you stopping them? ”

Wang Zeng trembled with anger, "The old man can see ......"

Kou Ji asked sharply, "Why don't you care if you see it?" Don't you have power in your hands? ”

"Implicated ......"

Wang Zeng wanted to say 'implicated too widely', but before he could say it, Kou Ji said mercilessly: "You want to say that the implication is too wide, and you want to slowly figure it out?"

If you are seriously ill, you need to take strong medicine.

Previously, my Great Song Dynasty was not widely implicated in Hexi, Western Xia, Dali, and Liao?

If we were to figure it out slowly, when would we have today's Great Song Dynasty? ”

Kou Ji casually swiped Bianjing City and said angrily: "The big and small officials in Bianjing City are all thinking about it. The picture is gone in the end.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, how many capable ministers have been produced and how many officials have been produced.

One by one, they are either virtuous ministers who are well-known among the people, or virtuous ministers.

If I am really virtuous, how can I have today's tribulations in the Great Song Dynasty.

But who is able to govern the world, which one is not working with the emperor to create an unprecedented prosperous era?

If there is no prosperous age, what kind of virtuous minister is it?

When you have nothing to do, challenge the royal family, sit in your own mansion and write a few poems about fame and fame, and spread them, and become a virtuous minister?

Obviously, you took power and did nothing, but people mistakenly thought that it was the emperor's inaction.

You have become virtuous ministers one by one, and instead of governing the prosperous world, it has become the emperor's fault.

Thousands of years later, you are all famous, but the emperor is infamous one by one.

Others praise you as virtuous ministers, do you really think you are virtuous?

If you are really virtuous, will you let the king bear your name?

Is it a virtue to trap a king in injustice?

The king bears the name of infamy, but you carry the name of a virtuous minister, what kind of virtuous minister are you?

Pan Meidu is more virtuous than you.

Yang Ye died in Chenjiagu, and Pan Mei took the infamy for the king.

It is rumored that Pan Mei killed Yang Ye.

But what is going on, your king once knew it in his heart. ”

Wang Zeng had already stumbled and was somewhat unsteady on his feet.

Seeing this, Kou Ji gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"The old man is already doing ......"

Wang Zeng shouted out of breath.

Kou Ji's words uncovered all the disguises on the body of the Great Song Wenchen, and completely exposed their true colors to the sun.

Wang Zeng looked at it, and they were all extremely ugly.

He's barely pretty in there.

Kou Ji asked unceremoniously, "Where is the result?" Before I entered Beijing, the only way for you to deal with land annexation was to continuously transfer the elite soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty from the border to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Guarding against the people, constantly strengthening the strength to defend the people.

They're the ones you want to protect, but they're definitely not the ones you need to be guarded against.

I took the soldiers and horses to grab a circle on the four sides of the Great Song Dynasty and fed them.

Now if you look at it again, there is still that common people rebelling among the people?

The wealthy families have already taken away the fertile land in their hands, and you have to keep adding soldiers and horses to eat up the last grain in their hands.

They are already hungry, and you have not tried to fill their stomachs, but have done everything you can to prevent them from snatching food from you.

And then after squeezing them clean, he sat in his house and said with self-love and self-pity, 'Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road'?

If Du Shaoling knew that you used his poems in this kind of place, he would definitely not cut out his tongue and never say a word in his life.

lest you defile his reputation. ”

Wang Zeng already felt that his eyes were full of gold stars.

Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng and said, "Now, I'm going to do what you don't dare to do, I'm going to feed those people." If you don't help, forget it, why do you have to stop?

Are you the ones who really eat the flesh of the people and drink the blood of the people?

Those so-called wealthy families are just accomplices? ”

Wang Zeng covered his face with his sleeves, and without saying a word to Kou Ji, he stumbled into his carriage and told the coachman to hurry away.

Kou Ji's words today stimulated him too much.

He had done everything in his life without a deed of his heart.

He thinks that over the years, he has done a lot of things that are interested in the Great Song Dynasty.

But when Kou Ji finished speaking, he sobered up and understood.

Of the many things he has done over the years, there are only two or three things that he can come up with.

Although it has surpassed the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

But he still felt ashamed.

Kou Ji watched Wang Zeng staggering away with his face hidden, and let out a long sigh.

He didn't want that.

But he had to.

Wang Zeng was one of the few capable ministers he had ever met.

But he's too kind.

Although he has beheaded quite a few people.

But he killed all the damned people.

For those who are in the middle between the damned and the undeserved, he can't do anything.

Kou Ji originally thought that Wang Zeng knew about his and Zhao Zhen's scheme, and his heart would be more or less relaxed.

But Wang Zeng still couldn't harden his heart.

Zhao Zhen is actually the same.

Because Zhao Zhen faced those wealthy families in Jiangnan and Hedong, he adopted a soft way.

If Kou Ji deals with this matter.

Either raise a butcher's knife and plow over.

Either let Zhao Zhen set up a new capital.

In the name of building a new capital, most of the poor people in Jiangnan and Hedong were forcibly evacuated, and whoever did not kill him would block and kill whom.

Koji is not a man who regards human life as a mustard.

But when the big responsibility is on his back and someone needs to make sacrifices, he will not leave his hands.

The imperial court takes into account the life and death of all people in the world, as well as the long-term stability of the country.

Instead of for the sake of the lives of one or two people, or the interests of one or two people, the life and death of other people and the comfort of the country and society are ignored.

Wang Zeng fell ill, and he was very ill.

Zhao Zhen went to visit and brought Kou Ji a word.

'Koji is not allowed to visit'.

Kou Ji passed through Chen Lin's mouth, and after knowing this, he knew that his remarks hurt Wang Zeng a lot.

But he didn't go to the palace to say soft words, let alone apologize to Wang Zeng.

Instead, he monopolized the power of the political affairs hall and decisively sent an official document to Bao Zheng and Han Qi.

Distant Hanhai Province.

The sea breeze is fierce.

The merchants shouted as the helmsman quickly put away the sails to prevent the fierce wind from overturning the ship.

The guilty laborers on the docks carried bags and bags of goods, piling them up quickly, and the vicious overseers brandished their whips and shouted and cursed.

The shopkeeper of the merchant smiled and approached the officials who collected taxes on the wharf, and the officials were divided into two groups.

A group of people went to check the number of goods they traded, and a group of people looked through the ledger boredly.

After the number of goods and the transaction amount are checked clearly.

The shopkeeper of the merchant accompanied the smiling face and handed the handover to the officer.

He quietly stuffed a piece of Jiaozi into the cuffs of the officer.

The official quickly issued the tax bill, and the shopkeeper of the merchant immediately called out to his subordinates to take the tax bill and go to the tax office to exchange for the tax stamp.

The marina was lively.

Su Xun, the prefect of Bohai Prefecture, and Bao Zheng, the superintendent of Bohai Prefecture, who were in charge of the livelihood of all the people on the dock, stood in a corner of the pier with a frown.

Su Xun yawned and said to Bao Zheng with a sleepy face: "I heard that you are leaving, the officials on the dock are a lot more presumptuous, I remember that when they were forced to leave them from the relocated people, they all hated to be officials."

I just think that farming is the best thing in the world.

When the merchants bribed them, they were able to expose them on the spot without giving people a face, and twisted them to the yamen.

It's only been a long time now, and I've actually learned to take bribes.

As the Inspector of Bohai Prefecture, you can be in charge. ”

Bao Zheng furrowed his brows and said coldly: "I will naturally take care of it, I will make them miserable." ”

Su Xun sighed and said: "Bohai Mansion is the only port in Liaodi, and there is an endless stream of merchant ships passing by, and the tax revenue exceeds one million every year.

Seeing so much money flowing by every day is a personal desire to be greedy.

If it weren't for my family's wealth, I would have wanted to make a lot of money, let alone them.

You should stay in Bohai Mansion and help me watch these people.

Otherwise, if you deal with one batch, the next batch will come out later. ”

Su Xun and Bao Zheng worked together very happily.

He did things, checked and filled in the gaps, and made the originally barren Bohai Mansion prosperous with rapid governance.

In the past, Bohai Province only had past merchants and crimes.

Later, there were more local soldiers and destitute people.

The year before last, some people began to settle in Bohai Province.

Bohai Prefecture is also the first prefecture in Liaodi to issue a registration slip for those who voluntarily settle down.

Today, more than 10,000 people have settled in Bohai Province.

The prosperity of Bohai Province is just around the corner.

Su Xun believed that if he and Bao Zheng were allowed to govern Bohai Mansion for another term, Bohai Mansion would definitely become a richer place than most state capitals in the Great Song Dynasty.

When the time comes, the two of them can walk into the vertical arch hall together with their heads held high and accept Zhao Zhen's reward.

But now, Bao Zheng is leaving.

Su Xun instantly felt that half of Bohai Mansion was about to collapse.

He's not the kind of person who likes to keep people with soft words.

So there can only be this kind of euphemism to tell Bao Zheng that Bohai Mansion needs him.

Bao Zheng heard the deep meaning of Su Xun's words, stared at the dock of Bohai Mansion, and said faintly: "This is the first place I govern, and I can't give it up."

It's just that the king's order is hard to disobey.

The government's will to transfer me to Jiangning Mansion arrived yesterday.

He ordered me to rush to Jiangning Mansion before winter, and I had to rush to Jiangning Mansion before winter.

You have also read the will of the officials.

The burden of Jiangning Mansion is not light. ”

Speaking of this, Bao Zheng looked at Su Xun and said with a smile: "If I solve the affairs of Jiangning Mansion well, you will also benefit here." The local soldiers who were assigned to work here would instantly become civilians.

The cultivation of fertile land will increase exponentially.

I'm afraid that the tax can be doubled several times.

When the time comes, you will be credited with enough to make you rise to the top. ”

The more genuine the smile on Bao Zheng's face, the more uncomfortable Su Xun felt in his heart.

"Can't you stay and help me?!"

Su Xun is a bit stubborn and doesn't like to beg for help, except in front of elders like Kou Ji, he will bow his head, and to others, he has always raised his head high.

So he wanted to keep Bao Zheng, but his words were very hard.

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "The official family has made an order, you should understand the consequences of disrespecting the order." ”

Su Xun shouted: "As long as you are willing to stay, I will find Mr. to intercede." ”

Bao Zheng shook his head and smiled, "If Mr. really doesn't want to separate you and me, do you think that the will to transfer me away will be sent to Bohai Mansion?" Don't forget, Mr. is now a flat business.

If he doesn't stamp the seal of the political hall, that will will not be able to get out of Bianjing. ”

Su Xun gritted his teeth and glared: "You have always been able to see through people's hearts, and Mr. values you very much, if you tell Mr., maybe you can stay." ”

Bao Zheng sighed and said: "We are officials for the people, for ourselves, not for Mr. to be officials." You can't rely on the high status of the gentleman, just by temperament.

It's not that you can't see the thoughts of those local soldiers here.

They were eager to run home in person and welcome the old and weak women, children, brothers and sisters in the family.

Their family letters have been gone for so long, but the family has not moved, and they can't bear it anymore.

They are now soldiers, and if they are stupid and escape from Bohai Mansion, they will be beheaded.

They're hardworking, and I can't watch them risk their heads.

So I have to go to Jiangning Mansion. ”

When Su Xun heard this, he knew that Bao Zheng also had a desire in his heart, and immediately said angrily: "If you leave Bohai Mansion, then I won't be an official."

Without your help, I can't manage Bohai Mansion. ”

Bao Zheng glared and shouted, "Nonsense! The identity of the court official, how can you say you don't want it? Is it child's play for you to be the court law?

You can also be regarded as the respect of the government, so reckless, how can you be worthy of the cultivation of the imperial court and the trust of the gentleman.

Bohai Mansion is such an important place, Mr. did not hand it over to others at the beginning, but handed it over to you.

It can be seen that the gentleman has high hopes for you.

If you disappoint Mr. so much, aren't you afraid that Mr. will be cold?

A few days ago, you bragged to me, saying that your eldest and second lang are both heroes, and you are going to wait for them to be older and send them to Mr. to teach.

If you fail your husband, what face do you have to come to the door? ”

Su Xun was reprimanded by Bao Zheng's eyes, and when he saw that the threat of resignation could not be achieved, he shouted at Bao Zheng: "If you don't stay, I will tell you what you like about Zhao Xu." ”

Bao Zheng's face turned dark, and he scolded, "Nonsense! ”

Su Xun stiffened his neck and said, "I'm talking nonsense? Your brother and sister-in-law have introduced you to so many families, why don't you marry any of them, and you don't even look at them?

Before Ling Zun died, he set a family affair for you.

When you came out of Feidong, you didn't say anything.

But after you returned to Feidong, you immediately returned your relatives.

Why?

It's because you like Zhao Su, and you're afraid that if you marry a wife, you won't have anything to do with Zhao Su in this life. ”

Bao Zheng's anger was like thunder, "I quit my family affairs in order to be filial in front of my parents, and I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of my wife."

After my parents died, I want to keep filial piety, how can I get married?

As for the people introduced by my brother and sister-in-law, they are either from a businessman's family or a wealthy family, and they all value my Bao Zheng's power in Bohai Mansion, and they want to take advantage of the court by marrying me.

Shall I give them pleasure?

I have long promised my country.

I don't care if I get married or not. ”

Su Xun didn't pay attention to Bao Zheng's words at all, he snorted: "Zhao Xun's letter, you will reply." Every time, I always stay up until late at night, and I think about it word by word, do you dare to say that you don't?

Every letter from Zhao Xu, you press it in the corner of the box, and you always secretly take it out to read it in your spare time, do you dare to say that you don't have it? ”

Bao Zheng said angrily: "I'm just trying to understand the movements of Bianjing City. ”

Su Xun snorted coldly and asked, "If you want to know about the movements of Bianjing City, why don't you find Mr." Could it be that Zhao Xu, a little woman, knows more about the movements of Bianjing City than Mr. Pingzhangshi. ”

Bao Zheng scolded, "Talking nonsense, squirting feces all over ......"

Bao Zheng scolded a lot in one breath, Su Xun just looked at it coldly, and it wasn't until Bao Zheng finished scolding that he pouted and said, "Self-deception......"

Bao Zheng was about to fight back, but saw a horse rushing towards them.

When the horses came to them, they stopped, interrupting their conversation.

On horseback was a soldier, and after jumping off the horse, he handed Bao Zheng an official letter, and then rode away.

Seeing that it was an official document, Su Xun didn't argue with Bao Zheng, quickly leaned over his head, and waited for Bao Zheng to unfold the official document and read it together.

Bao Zheng unfolded the official document and saw that there was only one sentence on the official document.

'If people don't go, they don't seal the knife'.

Written by the red pen, the words are like blood.

Bao Zheng and Su Xun stared at each other.

"What a murderous aura!"

Su Xun gasped and muttered in a low voice.

Bao Zheng put away the official document and said in a deep voice: "Those wealthy families in Suzhou have indeed gone too far. They themselves oppressed the people and did not let the people be fed, and they did not let the husband take the people to be fed.

It is reasonable for Mr. to have such a murderous aura. ”

Su Xun patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, it wasn't Mr. who made the move, otherwise there would be no wealthy family in Jiangning Mansion." ”

Kou Ji's murderous Bao Zheng and Su Xun have seen it.

Those criminals in Liaodi will tremble now when they hear the names of Kou Ji and Di Qing, which shows how murderous Kou Ji is.

Kou Ji killed people in Liaodi to the point of unreasonableness.

Will it be reasonable to go to Jiangning Mansion?

If you can be reasonable, then it is not Kou Ji.

Bao Zheng glanced at Su Xun and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. has spoken, then I have to go to Jiangning Mansion." You don't have to keep me.

I believe that the imperial court then sent a supervision envoy, which should not be weaker than me. ”

When Su Xun saw the official document given by Kou Ji, he knew that Bao Zheng couldn't keep him.

So he said a little sadly: "You are older than me, calmer than me, I should call my brother." Brother, not everyone spoils me, lets me, and helps me solve all the troubles I can't solve. ”

Su Xun suddenly instigated his feelings, and Bao Zheng was really a little unbearable.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

Bao Zheng pursed his lips and said softly: "You go to the court first and wait for me, and then we will work together in the court." When the time comes, I will give you permission to treat me to a good meal. ”

Su Xun nodded with a long sigh.

Reluctance is reluctance.

I don't care if I'm treated as a little daughter.

In the past, he was the youngest of Koji's many students, and he was always teased by others.

Especially the wilted and wilted Han Qi.

So Su Xun was reluctant to get close to them.

Although Bao Zheng has always been a head in learning, he never teases him.

On the contrary, he has helped him solve a lot of troubles and has been out several times.

So he was Bao Zheng a brother.

So he was reluctant to leave.
