After listening to Kou Ji's words, Kou Zhun thought about it for a moment or two.

found that as Kou Ji said, if he tried to plot the throne, when Zhou Huaizheng rebelled, it would be a great opportunity.

At that time, Kou Ji could use the name of Qingjun's side to eliminate all those who could stand in his way.

And it doesn't leave any handles.

Kou Ji didn't care about that kind of great opportunity, so he wouldn't bother to plan now.

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and muttered, "You really don't have any thoughts about the throne? ”

Kou Ji shook his head decisively.

Kou Zhun said suspiciously: "Why don't you have any thoughts about the throne?" ”

In Kou Zhun's cognition, anyone who is qualified to covet the throne has some thoughts about the throne.

Listening to Kou Ji's meaning, it seems that since he entered Bianjing, he has never had any thoughts about the throne.

This came as a surprise to him.

Some are hard to believe.

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Grandfather really thinks that position is a good thing?" ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he couldn't help but glare at Kou Ji, he felt that Kou Ji had said a nonsense.

If that position wasn't a good thing, there wouldn't be so many people bothering to grab it.

Kou Ji seemed to see through Kou Zhun's thoughts, and he said lightly: "Supreme power is indeed a good thing, but after getting it, the whole world is suspicious. You have to guard against your wife's room, you have to guard against your brothers, you have to guard against your children, and you have to guard against everyone who passes in front of you.

No one can be trusted......

Completely reduced to a lonely family......

If you become a faint monarch and your descendants are not successful, I am afraid that the Jiangshan Sheji in your hands will be defeated in a few generations, and you will have to be killed.

If he becomes a Ming monarch, he will be locked in the cage of the palace for the rest of his life, busy with the case every day, and will not rest until the dead of night, and in the end he will have to work to death. ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips and said, "How can you be happy when you are in peace?" When you are happy, you can take care of the government, when you are not happy, you can recuperate at home, and you can go out for a walk when you have nothing to do.

As long as the inner court is controlled, the authority will not be lost to the official family.

If you have nothing to do, you can find fault with the official, and the public accuses him of being mediocre, he can't beat you, he can't scold you, and he has to give you some good things to prevent you from being angry.

If you make a mistake, he will not be able to speak of you in public, and he will have to protect your face.

When you meet Mingjun, find some mistakes with him, and he can immediately lead you to be a loyal minister.

When you meet the faint king, accompany him to cause trouble in the world, and he can immediately attract you as a favored minister.

If you do a good deed, the credit will be all on your head.

did bad things, and the infamy was all on his head.

How cool?

There is no shortage of wealth and authority.

encountered the change of dynasty, and immediately took the civil and military officials to surrender, and when they arrived in the new dynasty, they were still in a high position.

How cool? ”

"Get out!"

As soon as Kou Ji said this, Kou Zhun who listened to it had bruises on his forehead, and he roared angrily when he pointed to the door.

Kou Ji pursed his lips and walked out the door, muttering, "Did I say anything wrong, most of the ministers did this......

When Kou Zhun heard this, he scolded angrily, "Rebel, how can my generation of Wenchen be as unbearable as you say?!" ”

Kou Ji paused, stared at Kou Zhun and said faintly: "Grandfather, the wrong generation is divided......"

Kou Zhun stomped his feet and said angrily: "The old man is confused by you." ”

Kou Ji's words really made Kou Zhun disgusting enough.

If Kou Ji didn't pay attention to what he said, he wouldn't care.

However, after listening to Kou Ji's words, he actually felt that there was some truth.

That's disgusting.

According to Kou Ji's statement, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have become flies and dogs.

And he himself is precisely the one who is the leader, how can he not be angry.

Kou Ji spread his hands and said innocently: "Grandfather, my grandson didn't say anything wrong, why should you be angry?" The government and the opposition, those generations of eunuchs, came here in this way.

People are not only nourished in our Great Song Dynasty, but also live in Liaoguo. ”

Kou Zhunqi's seven orifices smoked, and he shuddered and scolded: "Get out! ”

Seeing this, Kou Ji stopped talking, withdrew his hand, and walked out the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the door with his right foot, he heard Kou Zhun's voice behind him.

"Get back to the old man!"

Kou Ji withdrew his foot, turned around, and looked at Kou Zhun with a puzzled expression.

Kou Zhun said with a dark face: "The old man was so angry with you that he almost forgot about his business." ”

Kou Ji immediately made a gesture of listening.

Kou Zhun snorted angrily and said: "The official family is bent on helping you become an official and a knight, but the old man can't resist the official family, so he finally discussed it and took a compromise method, gave you a knighthood, and commended your merits." ”

Kou Ji stood up straight and said in amazement: "The official family wants to make me a duke?" ”

No wonder after Kou Zhun returned home, he said that Zhao Zhen was very good to him.

It turned out that Zhao Zhen wanted to make an exception to knight him.

"Phew!"

Kou Zhun glared, spitted, and said disdainfully: "You want to be beautiful!" The imperial court has a clear rule that if you do not enter the second grade, you will not be awarded a duke. ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly and said, "I'm not very suitable for other titles." ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "It was originally inappropriate......

Kou Ji looked puzzled.

Kou Zhun snorted: "But you don't have a knighthood, you have Shiyi first." The old man and others can give you a knighthood in the name of putting you in place. ”

Kou Ji was stunned, analyzed it, and felt that Kou Zhun's statement was reasonable.

If Kou Zhun and the three of them took the liberty of knighting him, they would inevitably be opposed by the Manchu Dynasty.

But if he was knighted in the name of Shiyi, there would not be much opposition from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Although it is a bit inappropriate to give Kou Ji a knighthood.

But the fault is not Kou Ji, nor is it Kou Zhun relying on his identity to help Kou Ji use his power for personal gain.

The fault is Zhao Yuanzuo.

Zhao Yuanzuo was willful for a while, and set aside 200 households for Kou Ji from his Shiyi.

violated the rules of the imperial court to do things.

After all, from the moment he had a knighthood, until now, I have never heard of anyone who can give his real estate privately.

Of course, there is no former prince who has served as three emperors and is still alive.

Zhao Yuanzuo, a person with a special identity, did a special thing.

The Manchu civil and military wanted to stop it, but they couldn't stop it.

With the particularity of his identity, as long as it is not a rebellion, no matter what outrageous things are done, the Manchu civil and military forces will not be able to deal with him.

It is precisely because of this that the things he gave to Kou Ji Shiyi were not seen by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty with one eye turned a blind eye.

But this is always a thorn, firmly rooted in the court, and anyone who sees it feels awkward.

Now that Kou Ji has just made a meritorious service, he has pulled out this thorn, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are naturally happy to see it come to fruition.

Although making an exception for Kou Ji to enter the knighthood is somewhat contrary to the regulations of the imperial court.

But as long as the title given is not high enough, Kou Ji's status has not changed much.

After all, there is no need to give it to Se-eup again.

At the same time, he can legitimately help Zhao Yuanzuo wipe his buttocks, and he can also offset Kou Ji's credit for resettling the homeless.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Why not.

Kou Ji guessed through the thoughts of Kou Zhun and the three of them to knight themselves through Shiyi, and asked funny: "So...... What kind of knighthood are you going to give me? ”

Regarding whether he is knighted or added, in fact, Kou Ji doesn't care too much.

At his age, it was impossible for the imperial court to give him too much of a knighthood.

His knighthood is nothing more than an additional name, and it does not have much substantive effect.

and it cannot be hereditary, nor can it add to the city.

There is no way to take it out to deter others.

In the imperial court, it is not counted that the martial arts are removed, just the dukes among the civil ministers, there are nearly ten people in the court, and those who leave office at home outside the court are not counted.

Not to mention the princely families in those martial arts.

For Wu Xun, the title is the wealth and foundation of the heirloom.

But for Wenchen, it's just an honor.

As for the addition of officials, he didn't think about it.

He had just moved to the Ministry of Industry, and he had just begun to kick out, and he hadn't done a big job yet.

If he was transferred out of the Ministry of Works, wouldn't everything before be in vain?

He has no shortage of opportunities for promotion.

What he lacks now is qualifications and strength.

If he has the qualifications and strength, whether it is Kou Zhun or Zhao Zhen, there will not be so many worries about helping him get promoted.

Don't look ahead.

It's like building a house, with an unstable foundation.

The walls and roofs on top of it, no matter how tall or large, cannot withstand scrutiny.

Kou Zhun didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, but when Kou Ji was eager to know his title, he snorted: "An Xingbo......"

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "Earl? ”

Kou Zhun questioned: "Not satisfied? ”

Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "Nothing dissatisfied. ”

The word Anxing is suitable for him as a civil servant.

If it is a title such as loyalty and bravery, loyalty and martial arts, then it is time for him to consider changing careers to enlist in the army.

Seeing that Kou Ji was not dissatisfied, Kou Zhun continued: "The edict that sealed you will not be read in the court, and in a few days, there will be eunuchs to the palace to announce the decree." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.

Some are not tasty.

What's up?

My title was stolen, and I can't see anyone, huh?

Then it's better not to seal it.

Kou Zhun saw Kou Ji's strange expression, as if he knew what Kou Ji was thinking, and said with a straight face: "It mainly involves the issue of Shiyi, which is related to the King of Chu, and it is not suitable to announce it to the public." ”

Kou Ji's face became even more strange when he heard this.

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun with a faint gaze, and said suspiciously: "In fact, helping the King of Chu cover up his mistakes is the fundamental purpose of your promise to the official family to give me a knighthood, right?" ”

Kou Zhun's stiff face stiffened a little, and he snorted coldly: "The old man and others are in charge of the government, and they have their own considerations, you are a little fourth-grade official, what do you know." ”

Seeing that Kou Zhun was starting to be unreasonable, Kou Ji also clearly knew that his words were right.

He sighed with emotion: "Take a broken title and fool me into resettle the homeless people......"

"Get out!"

Before Kou Ji finished speaking, Kou Zhun pointed out the door and roared.

Seeing that Kou Zhun was annoyed and angry, Kou Ji ran out of the main hall decisively, forgetting even the etiquette.

Kou Zhun saw Kou Ji running away in a panic, angry and funny, sitting on the chair and humming.

He knew that Kou Ji was not afraid of him.

The panicked look just now was purely for him to see.

"Stinky Boy ......"

"Old Fox ......"

On the way back to Sijun Garden, Kou Ji pursed his lips and whispered.

Kou Zhun, Wang Zeng, Li Di and other old men in the court, none of them do things directly.

They always like to use all kinds of means, all kinds of languages, to achieve their goals.

If he wasn't smart enough to see the thoughts of the old guys, I'm afraid he would have been played by the old guys.

When Kou Zhun saw him today, he first scared him, then talked about friendship, and finally said that the court canonized his title.

In order to make a great contribution to the court, the court only rewarded him with an empty title, so that he did not have any resentment in his heart, so as to embark on a great rebellious road.

The old men do things not with three birds with one stone, but with four birds with one stone.

"Isn't it good to say? Why beat around the bush? I'm not an unreasonable person. ”

Kou Ji muttered another sentence as he stepped into the Four Monarchs Garden.

Returned to the Four Monarchs Garden.

Kou Ji was in a much better mood.

He joined hands with Xiang Yan, who was waiting for him at the gate of the garden, and returned to the bedroom.

Nothing was said all night.

Following.

At the time of the third watch.

Kou Ji got up from the bed at Kou Zhong's call.

After washing up, Kou Ji put on his court clothes, carried the court wat and went out of the room.

Kou Ji's Chao Wat is carved out of a whole piece of jade, and the whole body is like mutton fat, smooth and delicate.

This item is worth a lot of money, but it was not purchased by the Kou government.

But when Kou Ji was reappointed as an official of the Ministry of Management, he came from Xiangfu.

Previously, Kou Ji got married, and Xiang Minzhong handed over the title deed of Xiangfu to Kou Ji, but Kou Ji did not accept it.

So Xiang Minzhong intended to give him this valuable piece of Chaowat.

Let him hold Chao Wat and remember Xiang Minzhong's friendship with him all the time.

In order to make it easier for Xiang Fu to suffer in the future, Kou Ji will help one or two.

So when Kou Ji went to Xiang Mansion to ask Xiang Minzhong to help him with the book, Xiang Minzhong put this thing on the table.

I didn't say it was going to be given to Koji.

But Kou Ji guessed Xiang Minzhong's intentions through Xiang Minzhong's actions, so when he left, he went to Chao Wat.

In fact, the jade Chao Wat is also reused by Xiang Minzhong.

It seems that the wat used by Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng is made of ivory.

The Chao Wat used by Li Di is a whole piece of iron.

Far more stylish than Xiang Minzhong's Chaowat.

The things of gold and jade are too vulgar to hold in your hands.

It's still ivory and iron, and it's more energetic to hold it in your hand.

When Kou Ji arrived at the main hall, Kou Zhun had already been invited away by the people in the palace.

He sat in a sedan chair alone and swayed to Donghua Gate.

When I arrived at the gate of Donghua, I saw that a sedan chair was stuffed in front of Donghua Gate, and around the sedan chair, there were small servants with lanterns and servants carrying warm pots.

There is just not a single official.

It was freezing cold, and when the cold wind was strong, the officials liked to hide in the sedan chair and refused to come out.

Kou Ji got off the sedan chair, looked left and right for a while, found Wang Yunsheng's sedan chair, and walked over.

Not far from the sedan chair, the old servant of the palace recognized Kou Ji's identity and hurriedly gave a salute, "The villain has seen the ...... of Kou Gongbu"

Wang Yunsheng in the sedan chair heard the voice of the old servant Shi Li, and knew that Kou Ji had come over, so he hurriedly got out of the sedan chair, and Shi Li said: "Xiaguan has seen Shangguan ......"

"Let's talk?"

Kou Ji said with a smile.

Wang Yunsheng was stunned for a moment and made a gesture of please.

The two sat in Wang Yunsheng's sedan chair together, enjoying the warmth emanating from the stove in the sedan chair.

Kou Ji's face sank, and he snorted, "I heard that you sued me for being a traitor?" ”
