"Too big a heart?"

Kou Zhun was a little confused, he stared at Kou Ji, and muttered: "You don't seek fame, you don't seek profit, you don't seek high-ranking officials, and you don't care about the throne. What more could you ask for, and what could you surpass that? ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I don't seek fame or profit. Because I already have fame and fortune, even if I don't do anything from now on, they can't do without me.

If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.

When I am destitute, I will inevitably ask for three meals.

Now that I am famous and profitable, I naturally no longer have to run for fame and fortune, and I don't have to continue to pursue them. ”

Kou Ji is not a sage, nor is he a selfless person.

It is impossible to be without desire.

He doesn't seek fame and fortune now, and he doesn't covet high-ranking officials and lords, because he has all these things.

Even if he starts from now on, doing nothing will not affect his fame and fortune.

Although the high-ranking officials and lords have been removed, no one can take away the influence, and no one can erase the credit.

In the Great Song Dynasty, influence and merit represent status.

Don't look at Kou Ji now that he has no officials and no lords, if he wants to do things and use people, what should he be, or what he should be.

It is precisely because of this that fame and fortune are meaningless to Kou Ji.

It is impossible for Koji to continue to pursue what he has.

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Kou Zhun understood what Kou Ji meant, and said with emotion: "You are more free and easy than the old man, and you know how to be willing better than the old man." ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Why did grandfather lift me so high? If you and my grandparents praise each other, how can others live? ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

Kou Ji laughed too.

"And what are you asking for now?"

After Kou Zhun laughed, he asked curiously.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and gave a word that he felt was very reasonable.

"Heavenly Empire!"

"Heavenly Empire?!"

Kou Zhun was slightly stunned, stared at Kou Ji and said: "My Great Song may not have been able to be the name of the Heavenly Empire before, but now my Great Song Dynasty has become a legitimate Heavenly Empire." ”

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "How many years can you keep it?" Decade? Twenty years? Or a hundred years? ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji with a shocked expression.

"You don't want to ......"

Kou Zhun was halfway through his words, and he couldn't go on.

Because if his guess was correct, then Koji's heart would be too big.

It's bigger than all the people of all ages.

Sages don't necessarily have that big hearts.

When Kou Ji saw Kou Zhun's shocked face, he knew that Kou Zhun had guessed, so he said straight to the point: "I want me to be Huaxia and keep guarding the Heavenly Empire ......."

"Huaxia? Not the Great Song? ”

Kou Zhun heard Kou Ji's words and asked in a low voice.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "You are not a country man, you should understand that there is no dynasty that can last forever. ”

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly and nodded.

What kind of country has been passed down for thousands of generations, etc., is just a beautiful expectation.

But almost everyone who can say this knows that a country cannot be passed down for generations.

"No one can make a dynasty last forever. Naturally, no one can make Huaxia forever guard the name of the Celestial Empire. ”

Kou Zhun said with emotion.

The four characters of the Heavenly Empire are based on a strong dynasty.

Without the existence of a strong dynasty, there can be no heavenly kingdom.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "So I'm talking about Huaxia, not the Great Song Dynasty." ”

As long as the four words of the Heavenly Empire have been passed among the dynasties established by the Chinese people, then Huaxia will always be the Heavenly Empire.

When Kou Zhun heard Kou Ji's words, he fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "Before, the old man didn't understand how big the world was.

Since reading the books you have translated, the old man has realized that the world is far bigger than the old man imagined.

The Great Song Dynasty is not the only rich place in the world.

In a distant place, it is very likely that there is a place as rich as my Great Song. ”

Kou Ji was stunned when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Grandfather has read the book I led someone to translate?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said, "The people of the Forensic Medicine Hall, in order to compete with the people of Xinglin, have already scattered the books you brought people to translate to various places.

The old man happened to get a copy, so he took a look. ”

Kou Ji nodded, "I see...... Then how did my grandfather conclude that there is a rich place in a distant place that is not inferior to my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said, "Brilliant knowledge is not something that can be bred in a barren land. Some of the medical skills recorded in those medical books can compete with the medical skills of my Great Song Dynasty, which is enough to show that the place where they were bred is definitely not lost to my Great Song Dynasty.

You have also seen Western Xia, Liao, and Goryeo.

You know what they're learning.

They are in a barren land, and it is impossible to feed more people, so it is far more difficult to cultivate learned people than we are, so the chances of breeding good learning are even lower.

Therefore, they need to learn the knowledge of my Great Song Dynasty.

But I, Da Song, don't need to learn their knowledge. ”

Kou Ji nodded, agreeing with Kou Zhun's statement.

Soil is also needed for the breeding of knowledge.

If a group of people can't even eat enough, they won't study at all.

Learning is a very selfless thing, and it never turns anyone away.

It is like an invisible treasure trove, scattered between heaven and earth, and as long as someone digs it, it will appear in front of people.

Therefore, the birth of knowledge depends on whether someone excavates it.

And whether a person has time to dig for knowledge depends on whether the place where he is can provide him with everything he needs to dig knowledge.

After seeing Kou Ji nodding, Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "Since you know that the world is very big, how can you make me Huaxia always guard the four words of the Heavenly Empire?" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "It's man-made, even if I can't let Huaxia keep guarding the four words of the Heavenly Empire, it's okay to keep it for a few more years." It can be regarded as my modest contribution to Huaxia. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhun was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven." ”

Koji nodded in agreement.

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said with emotion: "The old man is not as good as you......"

Kou Zhun has fought all his life for one country and one family.

Kou Ji has jumped out of one country and one family, and is fighting for the whole of China.

The gap in the middle is self-evident.

Kou Ji smiled and didn't speak.

Because he knew that if he opened his mouth to defend something, Kou Zhun would have to hold him and tell him a lot of big truths.

Seeing that Kou Ji was speechless, Kou Zhun smiled and picked up the wine, and said, "On the day of the God-given wedding, you don't tell the old man about the godsend, but talk to the old man about your ambitions."

Do you think that the godsend is already married?

It's time for the old man to get out.

Or would it give you a free hand to show off your skills? ”

Kou Ji touched a cup with Kou Zhun and said with a smile: "Grandfather said he was laughing." If you are not in Bianjing City, it will not have much impact on me. ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and smiled: "There are still ......"

Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Is my grandfather complaining about me?" ”

Kou Zhun shook his head again and sighed, "The old man just wants to tell you that the old man is really about to leave." The things that should be prepared have been prepared, and the things that should be packed have been packed, and it is time for the old man to go to Handi.

said that he would be the first to leave Beijing before Tianci left Beijing.

Don't look back and fall behind the godsend. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Grandfather is here, you must take care."

Kou Ji and Kou Zhun have a deep relationship.

It is like a grandchild, and it is like a year-old friend.

When Kou Zhun didn't know Kou Ji at first, there was indeed a clear identity gap between the two when they spoke.

But when Kou Zhun understood Kou Ji, he rarely put up a stand in front of Kou Ji, and rarely instructed Kou Ji to help him do anything.

Even if they encounter any difficulties, the two will sit together and discuss.

When the two talk, they are more like friends.

Kou Zhun never felt that he was right about everything just because he was old and had experienced a lot of things.

will not use his identity and status to force Kou Ji to listen to him.

Many times, Kou Zhun plays the role of a mentor and a close elder.

In the years that Kou Zhun has been with Kou Ji, he has been helping Kou Ji solve problems and shelter from the wind and rain.

With Kou Zhun's status and temper, it is not easy for him to do this to a junior.

After all, with his rank and age, whether in the court or at home, he was in an authoritative class.

If he acts according to his temper and stubbornly, no one can stop him, and no one can influence him.

When Ding Wei was in power, he was a powerful person, right?

He personally sent someone to welcome back Kou Zhun, wanting to use Kou Zhun's prestige to help him control the entire court.

But did Kou Zhun give him face?

No.

At the dust-washing banquet prepared by Ding Wei for Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun slapped his face on the spot.

The reprimanded Ding Wei lost face.

In business, Kou Zhun is almost unkind.

The same is true in private matters.

At the beginning, Kou Ji's aunt, Kou Zhun's daughter, had a conflict with Kou Ji.

After Kou Zhun learned that it was his own daughter who deliberately made trouble with Kou Ji, he decisively ordered her to go back to the palace, and almost broke off the father-daughter relationship with her.

That's the kind of person you are.

Treated Kou Ji kindly for more than ten years.

It can be seen that Kou Ji's status in his heart is far beyond everyone else.

It can also be confirmed that Kou Zhun really treats Kou Ji as his own grandson.

Kou Ji felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but Kou Zhun grinned greatly, "Are you looking forward to the old man's death?" ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly and said, "How dare I." ”

Kou Zhun laughed and said: "The old man is now deaf and blind, and his body is stronger than before. Maybe there will be many more years to live.

It's you, you have to take care.

Gotta live longer.

Don't let the old man send the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

Otherwise, the old man will definitely overturn your coffin board. ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "On a happy day, it is unlucky to say this. ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, on a day of great joy from God, it is indeed unlucky to say this." ”

"Drinking ......"

"Drink!"

The grandfather and grandson raised their glasses, looked at each other and smiled, and then drank bitterly.

He drank until the banquet was about to end, and Kou Ji was called out by the housekeeper and sent some high-status guests.

It seems that Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and other people who are two generations higher than Kou Tianci almost did not come to Kou Tianci's wedding, but sent the eldest son of the family to attend Kou Tianci's wedding.

Therefore, the only people who need Kou Ji's send-off are Zhu Neng, Chong Shiheng and others.

The last thing Kou Ji sent away was the second sister of the Cao family.

Kou Ji sent the second sister of the Cao family to the carriage, and on the edge of the carriage, Kou Ji slightly arched his hand and said, "Sister Cao ...... walk slowly."

The second sister of the Cao family stood on the edge of the car and said politely: "Brother, don't call me sister anymore." ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Each has its own opinion." ”

The second sister of the Cao family shook her head seriously and said, "I am now a member of the Di family......

Kou Ji smiled silently, "Brother and sister walk slowly, come and sit when you have time." I heard that your second boy is very cute, and I especially want to see it. ”

When the second sister of the Cao family heard this, a bright smile appeared on her face.

"I'll come back often."

Kou Ji gave up again.

The second sister of the Cao family nodded and got into the carriage.

The groom drove the carriage away.

Kou Ji returned to the house with his hands on his back.

Most of the excitement of Kou Mansion disappeared in an instant.

But Bianjing City became a complete sensation.

Did Kou Ji pass the throne to Kou Tianci?

The Kou clan wants to produce a second sage?

Such remarks, after the dispersal of the guests of Koufu, began to spread in Bianjing City, and everyone knew about it.

This matter overshadowed the limelight caused by Kou Tianci's marriage in an instant, and became a hot topic among the people of Bianjing.

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and other ministers who did not attend Kou Tianci's wedding, after learning about this, they were also full of emotion.

Although they had long known that Kou Ji would pass the throne to Kou Tianci, Kou Ji would stay in Bianjing City.

It's just that I didn't expect the throne of Kou Ji to pass so simply.

It's so simple that everyone is surprised.

However, before everyone could recover from the incident, another bombshell was dropped.

Kou Zhun, the only living sage of the Great Song Dynasty, was going to leave Bianjing City and go to Korea.

It didn't take long for the wind to come out.

Zhao Zhen's edict to reward Kou Zhun was sent to Kou's mansion.

Since Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji discussed this matter, Zhao Zhen's reward to Kou Zhun was mostly some honorary things and some privileges.

For example, Kou Zhun will always serve as the mountain chief of the Wenchang Academy.

For example, Kou Zhun will always serve as the owner of the Heavenly Saint Pavilion.

For example, Kou Zhun is not bound by the rules of the king, and can travel back and forth between Handi and Bianjing at will.

In addition, there are a lot of books, and a school hall of the same size as the Wenchang Academy.

Zhao Zhen mentioned in the holy decree that he would send people to Korea to build a school hall to provide Kou Zhun with a place to live, and the cost and labor required would be borne by the Great Song court.

After Zhao Zhen's holy decree reached Kou Mansion, Kou Mansion was as usual.

Bianjing City blew up.

The scholars made a fuss and asked if the imperial court could not tolerate the sages.

Some of the ministers who didn't know the inside story were annoyed, and they went to the palace to ask to see Zhao Zhen and question Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen didn't see them.

There was a fierce Wenchen who almost crashed to death in the palace.

……

Inside the Koufu.

Kou Zhun sits.

Koji stood.

Kou Ji laughed: "Grandfather is really popular. For your sake, Wenchen almost crashed to death in the palace. ”

Kou Zhun said with emotion: "The word sage is not just a casual thing. On weekdays, there is no power, but when it is time to do it, few people can bear it. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "I thought that after you left the court, grandfather, there would be no upright courtiers in the court, but I didn't expect that there would still be." ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said angrily: "Never be a little inferior to the style of a literati." There are traitors and villains in the court, and there are upright people. ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun added, "Never look down on the style of literati." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows.

Kou Zhun sighed: "Some people are cheap." Some people have a lot of thoughts. Do you really think that someone else crashed to death in the palace just for the old man? ”

It could also be for yourself.

After all, keeping a sage, or working hard for a sage, is enough for them to get a lot of things.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "I understand...... But if they can pretend to be a lifetime, I think it's a good thing. ”

Kou Zhun was stunned.

Koji laughed.

Kou Zhun also laughed.

If it is just pretending to be and can pretend for a lifetime, it is true or false, who cares?

After laughing.

Kou Ji said to Kou Zhun: "The official who was going to die in the palace for you, Chen Lin has already saved him." However, the ministers are now staying in the palace and refusing to leave, and there is a posture that the officials will not give them an explanation, and they will not leave.

Officials can be tough on other things.

But in this matter, there is no way to be tough. ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said, "The old man went back and wrote a pair of words, you sent someone to the Wenchang Academy, and by the way, spread what the old man was going to say." ”

"Good ......"

“……”

After chatting with Kou Ji for a while, Kou Zhun went to the study and picked up a pen to write.

It's just that after the pen hangs on the paper, it pauses.

Kou Zhun wants to leave a pair of words to warn the world, so naturally he can't write at will.

He had typed some drafts before, but when it came time to actually start writing, he hesitated again.

"Da ......"

A drop of ink fell down the tip of the pen onto the paper.

On a piece of snow-white paper, there was an extra stain in an instant.

Kou Zhun didn't care, but continued to hesitate.

Seeing this, Kou Ji asked, "Grandfather doesn't know how to write?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said with a smile: "Before lifting the pen, the old man had a lot of words to write down, but after lifting the pen, the old man couldn't write a word. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "Then grandfather might as well write a piece of fu, or a strategy?" ”

Kou Zhun thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, "It's not suitable......"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Then write just two sentences that you want to say." ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, "If you wake up the world, how can it be regarded as child's play?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "That's better than not leaving a word." ”

Kou Zhun said angrily: "If the old man can't think of a suitable word, he would rather not write it." ”

Seeing this, Kou Ji helped Kou Zhun come up with an idea.

Kou Ji groaned, "Destiny is not enough to fear...... What did grandfather think? ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, "The words are big, and they are enough to shock the world." But it doesn't apply to old men. ”

Kou Ji continued: "That is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people......"

Kou Zhun frowned, "The words are bigger, but they still don't apply to the old man." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said casually: "Then how about just writing a sentence 'A hundred flowers bloom is better than a single branch'?" ”

"A hundred flowers blooming? A standout? ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's a bit vulgar, but it's very suitable for the old man to use now, that's it." ”

The more Kou Zhun tasted it, the more flavorful it became, and he couldn't help but say again: "When the old man left the center, he had the intention of creating opportunities for young people. Now leaving Bianjing City is also to let more people follow the example of the old man and become sages.

This sentence coincides with the old man's thoughts. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Grandfather left the center at that time, and now he is leaving Bianjing City, but not just to make up for the throne, right?" ”

Kou Zhun smiled brightly and said, "But this is what people outside want the most?" The old man just complied with their wishes. ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth, unable to think of a rebuttal, and finally could only smile and shut up.

Kou Zhun immediately removed the piece of paper stained with ink, took a new piece of paper, and waved his pen.

'A hundred flowers bloom is better than a single branch', and a line of arrogant characters jumped on the paper.

Kou Ji looked at those words and knew Kou Zhun's current mood.

Between the lines, there is arrogance and pleasure.

"Good word!"

Kou Ji couldn't help but admire.

Kou Zhun laughed and said: "After the old man leaves, if the Great Song Dynasty can really bloom with a hundred flowers and sages, then the old man is the teacher of all sages."

If they can't produce sages, it can only prove that they are not successful, and they will never be able to compare with the old man. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "That grandfather is just a two-pleaser." ”

Kou Zhun laughed louder, "The old man suddenly felt that the old man's decision to leave Bianjing City and go to Handi was the wisest decision in the old man's life. ”

Kou Zhun's reputation in the Great Song Dynasty has now reached the top.

After he leaves Bianjing City, whether the Great Song Dynasty can produce sages or not, his reputation will rise infinitely.

As he said.

Position, he got out of the way.

The Great Song Dynasty produced sages, so he gave way to the credit.

If the Great Song Dynasty does not produce sages, then it can only be said that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are not successful.

After all, the position is all out of the way for you, and no one can go up yet, so you can't complain about Kou Zhun.

"Quick! Send someone to Wenchang School quickly! ”

After the ink dried, Kou Zhun sent the words to Kou Ji, urging Kou Ji to send them to the Wenchang Academy.

Kou Ji agreed, and specially instructed Kou Tianci to send the words to the Wenchang Academy.

Kou Tianci had just passed on to the throne, and now was the time to attract attention.

When he goes to deliver words, he will inevitably be noticed by many people.

The words written by Kou Zhun will also quickly spread to every corner of the Great Song Dynasty.

After Kou Ji sent Kou Tianci to deliver the words, Kou Zhun found Kou Ji again and instructed Kou Ji: "Quickly send someone to send the things that the old man is going to take away, as well as all the people, out of Bianjing City, so that they can take the first step." ”

Kou Ji didn't ask the reason, and nodded decisively.

Because he doesn't need to ask to know why.

The words written by Kou Zhun will inevitably arouse the respect of everyone in Bianjing City after it spreads.

When Kou Zhun leaves, everyone in Bianjing City will go to see him off.

At that time, the streets in Bianjing City will inevitably be filled with people.

If the things that Kou Zhun was going to take away and leave with him, he would definitely be blocked in Bianjing City and difficult to move.

So you have to send it out first.
