When did Chen Lin speak so well?

Muttering in his heart, Kou Ji put away the consternation on his face, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Since the official family says this, then the minister listens to the official family." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen nodded with a bright smile.

"That's very good."

Kou Ji groaned for a while, looked sideways at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair staring at him with a bright smile, and asked: "The minister still doesn't know, what is the so-called matter of the official family's invitation to the palace this time." ”

Zhao Zhen said in the letter that he asked Kou Ji to help manage his marriage.

But after Zhao Zhen met, he said that his marriage had been handed over to the Ministry of Rites by Kou Zhun and Liu E.

The Ministry of Etiquette came forward to handle this matter, and Kou Ji naturally didn't need help.

Then, Zhao Zhen invited Kou Ji into the palace, it must be for other things.

Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's inquiry, and the smile on his face became unnatural, "I won't hide it from you, I am in trouble and need your help." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he didn't rush to answer, but thought about it for a while.

Although Zhao Zhen is not yet in power, the three of them have begun to slowly hand over the adjudication of some affairs in the court to Zhao Zhen.

Now Zhao Zhen has some power in his hands.

Coupled with the help of Kou Zhun and the three of them, ordinary things can't stop him.

What he can call troublesome must be real trouble.

"I don't know what kind of trouble the official family has encountered?"

Kou Ji asked tentatively.

Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh, slowly stood up from the dragon chair, put his hands behind his back, and said faintly: "The girls from all over the world have entered Beijing one after another, and now they are training in Qingfang Palace.

In a few days, I will get married, and the queen's candidate will be decided......"

When Zhao Zhen said this, he closed his mouth, stopped speaking, and his brows tightened.

Although Zhao Zhen didn't continue, Kou Ji probably guessed a few points about the trouble he encountered.

Zhao Zhen ran into trouble with the post-election issue.

Kou Ji muttered: "Isn't the official family and the Queen Mother one person? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I know that I can't hide this matter from you." ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't say much.

After Zhao Zhen first ascended to the throne, he had a conflict with the Empress Dowager Liu E on the issue of the post-establishment period, and this matter is clearly recorded in the historical records, and Kou Ji does not need to guess at all.

Zhao Zhen didn't know Kou Ji's thoughts, and seeing that Kou Ji was silent, he continued: "Three days ago, the eldest lady summoned me and invited me to go to Qingfang Palace together, and secretly observed those girls.

Among the girls, I saw the great-granddaughter of the late Zhang Mei, the general of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, and I was overjoyed and intended to make her my queen.

The eldest lady fell in love with Guo Shi, the second daughter of Chongyi's deputy envoy Guo Yungong......"

Kou Ji muttered, "And then? ”

Kou Ji felt that Zhao Zhen and Liu E might not only have different opinions, but also that other things might have happened.

Otherwise, Zhao Zhen would not have a sad face.

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes painfully and said, "If that's all it takes, it doesn't hurt for me to take a step back......

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "But the eldest lady obviously can't get along with me." She didn't let me establish the Zhang family as the queen. She actually wanted to give Zhang to her nephew Liu Congmei on the grounds that the Zhang family was too coquettish and easy to bewitch me......"

"Bang!"

Zhao Zhen slapped the table and roared, "What kind of thing is Liu Congmei?" You also deserve to rob a woman with me?! ”

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen with some surprise.

From the time he met Zhao Zhen to the present, it was the first time he had seen Zhao Zhen lose such a big temper.

can make Zhao Zhen, a person with a good temper, lose his temper so much.

The side proves that Zhao Zhen really likes the Zhang family in his heart.

In addition to this, Koji saw something else.

Chen Lin saw that Zhao Zhen was angry, and hurriedly bowed down and admonished: "The official family is angry, take care of the dragon's body." ”

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists, restrained the anger in his heart, and snorted heavily.

After Zhao Zhen put away his anger, Kou Ji asked tentatively, "What does the official family plan to let the ministers do?" ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and said eagerly: "I want you to help the Zhang family and become my queen." ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "Then what if the Queen Mother continues to stop it?" ”

Zhao Zhen's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "According to your means, can't you let the Zhang family become my queen?" ”

Kou Ji said sincerely: "The minister can help the Zhang family plan and let the Zhang family continue to stay in the palace, but whether the Zhang family can become the queen or not is not up to the minister, but the queen mother." ”

Kou Ji can use the power of Kou Zhun, Li Di, and Wang Zeng to intervene in the matter of canonizing the queen.

But it's just an intervention.

Kou Ji can use his strength to interfere in the queen's candidate, and Liu E can also interfere in the queen's candidate.

The two sides fight.

The end result is a vacant posterior.

But Zhang, who is at the center of the struggle, will inevitably not end well.

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji had no way to help the Zhang family sit on the throne of the queen, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Kou Ji admonished: "Official, why do you have to make the Zhang family the queen? If you really like Zhang, the last thing you should do is to canonize her as the queen. ”

Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed and he stared at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji continued: "The battle in the harem is endless. If you canonize the Zhang family as the queen, you will push her to the forefront. Even if she sits on the throne of the queen, she will be targeted everywhere.

She doesn't have a strong relative to support her, so she can't fight other concubines at all.

The end result is probably not too good. ”

After Zhao Zhen was born, Liu E controlled the entire harem, and up and down in the harem, all looked at Liu E's horse.

Those who are disobedient, or who are against Liu E, have long been dealt with by Liu E.

So Zhao Zhen didn't see too many harem battles, and he didn't know the cruelty of harem battles.

There is little description of the battle in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty in historical materials, but it does not mean that the harem of the Great Song Dynasty was peaceful.

On the contrary, the battles in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty were far more fierce than those of other dynasties.

Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, father and son, gave birth to many dragon sons and grandsons, but they died one after another, until the heir, in addition to some of the reasons for their own death, and the battle of the harem is also inseparable.

In other dynasties, even if the concubines of the harem used the dragon sons and grandsons as their hands and feet, they were also restrained.

But in the harem battle of the Great Song Dynasty, he was able to do his hands and feet on the dragon son and grandson, and he reached the point of being an heir.

The horror is evident.

Kou Ji described the harem as a little terrifying, Zhao Zhen was a little hard to believe, he looked at Chen Lin and asked, "Chen Daban, is that so?" ”

Chen Lin hesitated for a long time in the face of Zhao Zhen's question, gritted his teeth and whispered: "When the official family was young, if it wasn't for the support of slaves and maids, I'm afraid I wouldn't live more than a year old......"

Chen Lin's simple sentence vividly described the cruelty of the battle in the harem.

"Puff ......"

Zhao Zhen slumped and sat down on the dragon chair with a look of disbelief.

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and whispered to Chen Lin not far away: "You really dare to say ......"

Chen Lin's eyelids were slightly, and he said without being salty: "The official family has grown up, and there are some things that should be known to him." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair in a daze with blank eyes, and said, "Aren't you afraid that the blow will be too big, and the official family can't stand it?" ”

Chen Lin's expression darkened, and he sighed: "If our family doesn't tell the official family, when the official family finds out about it, the blow will only be even greater." Moreover, the official family is about to get married, if our family doesn't tell the official family about this in advance, and let the official family guard against it, I'm afraid that the official family will follow in the footsteps of the emperor. ”

Kou Ji muttered: "You should know a lot, and you also have the power in your hands to prevent this kind of thing from happening, why don't you stop it?" ”

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said with a little sadness: "There is only a reason to be a thief for a thousand days, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." When they don't commit crimes, they are nobles.

How can a slave of our family ride on the heads of nobles?

If they commit a crime, even if our family makes a move, what is the use?

People have been mutilated to death by them, even if our family cuts them with a thousand knives, can we save people back? ”

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Kou Ji said faintly: "Royal ...... It's nowhere near as good as the people think. ”

Chen Lin hugged the dust, sighed, and nodded.

Zhao Zhen had slowly come back to his senses when Kou Ji and Chen Lin were chatting in a low voice.

Zhao Zhen stared straight at Chen Lin, and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "...... the eldest lady?"

There are some words that Zhao Zhen can't say directly.

But the meaning of his words, Chen Lin and Kou Ji both understood.

Zhao Zhen was asking if Liu E had ever injured the dragon son and grandson.

Chen Lin's body trembled, bent down humbly, and said solemnly: "The slave has never seen ......"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he let out a sigh of relief, the big stone in his heart slowly fell, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and he lamented: "I hope you don't tell outsiders about this matter......

Although Zhao Zhen gave Kou Ji another gag order, Kou Ji heard a trace of pleading from Zhao Zhen's tone.

Kou Ji sighed in his heart, and arched his hand: "Minister Kou Ji, obey the order." ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji had agreed to keep it secret, nodded slowly, and waved his hand to Chen Lin.

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and withdrew from the side hall.

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji again, and he said with some six gods and no masters: "Fourth brother, it's so difficult to be an emperor......

Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He heard a sense of powerlessness from Zhao Zhen's words.

After a deep groan, Kou Ji said: "Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, you have to sit on this dragon chair steadily, except for you, no one else is worthy." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly, stared at Kou Ji and said, "Fourth brother, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji fell silent.

After a long time, he raised his head, stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "You just sit on the dragon chair steadily, you should eat, drink, and do whatever you like." Up and down the opposition, I'll help you clear it; The enemy of the four seas, I will help you to calm down. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji stunned, "Is it possible?" ”

Kou Ji grinned, "Why not, you have to trust me." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded solemnly and said, "I believe that the fourth brother ......"

After a pause, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said very seriously: "Then how should I reward you?" ”

Kou Ji thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "A golden hammer, two sleeves are breezy ......"

Zhao Zhen didn't understand what Kou Ji meant.

Staring blankly at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji didn't explain much.

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji was reluctant to explain more, so he didn't chase after the bottom line.

Under Kou Ji's comfort, Zhao Zhen's face was a little more bright, he stared at Kou Ji, and said with a little embarrassment: "Fourth brother, the matter of the Zhang family ......"

Kou Ji groaned: "I will find a way to let the Zhang family continue to stay in the palace, but you don't want the Zhang family to sit on the throne of the queen." ”

Zhao Zhen continued to ask with some reluctance: "There is no other way......

Kou Ji said solemnly: "If you really like her, don't hurt her." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "I'll listen to you." ”

Kou Ji continued: "In addition, you can't promise the Queen Mother to make the Guo daughter the queen. ”

Zhao Zhen said suspiciously: "Why is this?" ”

Kou Ji used the words recorded in the history books to admonish: "This woman is not a good match for you. As far as I know, this woman is a bit aggressive. If she becomes the queen and relies on the support of the queen mother, she will inevitably bully you behind her back.

You are the official family of my Great Song Dynasty, how can you be bullied by a woman.

After it is passed out, what kind of face do you have to face the Manchu Dynasty civil and military. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a bitter face: "But after I set up other people, the eldest lady will not agree." ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently, "That's not necessarily...... If you are the queen and have a strong relative to support her, the queen mother is not easy to oppose. ”

Zhao Zhen thought for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "The fourth brother is talking about the Cao family's daughter?" ”

Kou Ji nodded heavily.

Zhao Zhen pondered Kou Ji's words for a while, and suddenly smiled, "If I make the daughter of the Zhang family the queen, then it will not be my turn to be the queen of the throne." If I make the daughter of the Cao family the queen, then the position of the queen is my final say.

Even so, then listen to the fourth brother.

My queen has to be chosen by myself.

If it was chosen by the eldest lady, it would be difficult for me to sleep with her. ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, Zhao Zhenlang understood this truth from his words, which proves that he did not say anything in vain.

After Zhao Zhen laughed, he stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Kou Ji Chengzhu smiled in his chest: "The official family doesn't need to do anything, just wait until the day after the election and designate the Cao family as the queen." ”

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips and said with emotion: "I'm afraid that the eldest lady will embarrass me at that time." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "No...... The official family can wait for good news in the palace. ”

Zhao Zhen was about to get up and give Kou Ji a salute, but Kou Ji grabbed him and admonished: "It's enough to put it in your heart, you don't have to show it." After all, in front of outsiders, you and I have different identities.

You can't hurt me. ”

Zhao Zhen withdrew his hand and nodded heavily.

Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen to chat for a while, then arched his hand and left the palace.

Returned to the house.

Kou Ji summoned Kou Zhong to meet him in the side hall.

After Kou Zhong entered the side hall, he saw Kou Ji sitting on the chair with a sad brow.

Kou Zhong bowed his hand and said, "The little young master is in a hurry to find the old servant to come over, what's the matter?" ”
