On the table in front of Kou Zhun, in addition to the mountains of twists and turns, there was also a bowl of porridge and two plates of side dishes.

Kou Zhun pushed the plate with porridge and side dishes in front of Kou Ji.

"Eat it......"

Kou Zhun said casually, picked up the pen and continued to review the folds.

Kou Ji stared at the plate in front of him, a little stunned.

Kou Zhun read a letter, and seeing that Kou Ji didn't move, he raised his head slightly, and said in surprise: "Why don't you eat it?" The porridge is made with official swallows, and the taste is not bad, but green vegetables are rare in winter.

Aren't you quite greedy on weekdays? ”

Kou Ji's heart is warm, it is rare that Kou Zhun can still remember that he has a habit of being greedy in his busy schedule.

Kou Ji stared at the green vegetables on the plate, and said with a wry smile: "This is your grandfather's dinner, if I eat it, what will you eat?" ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji in amazement, "The old man will let the imperial dining room make another one." ”

Kou Ji smiled dumbly, feeling that he had asked a stupid question.

"Then wait for the imperial dining room to finish Grandfather's dinner, and let's eat together."

Kou Zhun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the old man hasn't eaten with you for a few days. ”

Kou Zhun commanded the eunuch behind him.

The eunuch withdrew from the Shishitang, and not long after, Gong E sent an identical dinner to Kou Zhun and his grandson.

Kou Zhun found an empty table and asked the eunuchs to put the food on the empty table.

The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other and began to eat.

Adhering to the rule of eating without saying a word, the grandfather and grandson finished their meal in silence.

Kou Zhun put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea, and moistened his throat before he spoke: "The old man just heard you say that you want to send the Son of Heaven's army into Beijing?" ”

Kou Ji sat opposite Kou Zhun and said with a smile: "Not bad......"

Kou Zhun put down the teacup and muttered: "The Son of Heaven's pro-army is just a joke between you and the official family, isn't it good to put it in Baozhou?" Why do you want to be sent to Beijing? ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "In the name of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, they naturally have to come out to meet people." If you blindly live in Baozhou, others will probably be like you, and they will think that the Son of Heaven is a joke between me and the official family. ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji unexpectedly and said, "Listen to what you mean, how much has the Son of Heaven's army practiced now?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded.

Kou Zhun pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Even if you practice a few appearances, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Bianjing City." It must be known that once they enter Beijing, they will inevitably be concerned by everyone in Bianjing City.

At that time, everything about them will be turned out by the Manchu civil and military forces.

The salaries that the officials helped them get were done privately.

Once they enter Beijing, then they will be dug up with things equivalent to the salaries of the four armies in the forbidden army.

When the Manchu civil and military knew about this, they would definitely not let them go easily.

It is bound to let them keep up with the four armies to see if they are worthy of this rich salary.

Do you think they can beat the forbidden army and the four armies now? ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Kou Zhun continued to shake his head and said, "The second guard of the Dragon God, who has been holding on to Bianjing City for many years, has been so eroded that it is unbearable to enter the destination. Although Zhu Neng served as the commander, he reorganized.

But it's still unbearable.

The Tiger Army is against them, but it has a few chances of winning.

But against the Tianwu and Japanese armies, who have been sent out to fight all the year round, it will be difficult.

In the Tianwu and Japanese armies, there are many fierce soldiers and fierce generals who have been fighting for many years.

Those young soldiers of the Tiger Army who have not experienced battlefield battles, I am afraid that they can be frightened when they face them. ”

Kou Zhun was afraid that Kou Ji would take the liberty of sending the Tiger Army into Beijing and be hit to the point of self-isolation, so he thought about it in all aspects.

Kou Zhun's worries, Kou Ji naturally thought about it.

However, Kou Ji dispatched the Tiger Army into Beijing and had other plans, so he naturally would not give up this idea because the Tiger Army would encounter a strong enemy.

Kou Ji smiled: "Grandfather, the so-called jade can't be cut without a weapon. They have been training for more than half a year, and they may still be lacking when they are pulled to the battlefield. But it's still okay to practice with the Tianwu and Japanese armies.

If they don't even have the courage to train with the Tianwu and Japanese armies, then it is better to disband as soon as possible.

so as not to waste money and food in vain. ”

When Kou Zhun heard Kou Ji's words, he was slightly stunned and asked, "You're not afraid that they will lose?" Hundreds of officials impeached you and the official family? Take back their bounty of food? ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "If you want to train a strong army, this is a necessary process. If they have the ability, then they will eat meat and drink wine. If you don't have the ability, you deserve to eat bran vegetables.

As for the impeachment of the officials, I don't care, and I believe the officials won't care either.

The Great Song Dynasty now needs a strong army, a strong army that can fight well and withstand all pressure.

In order to train a strong army, wasting some money is nothing, and being scolded is nothing.

As long as my Songzi banner can fly on the sixteen states of Yanyun, no matter how great the ordeal and humiliation are, I and the official family can endure it. ”

"Not bad!"

Zhao Zhen didn't know when he had entered the capital hall, he walked in front of Kou Zhun and his grandson with steady steps, and said solemnly: "What Kou Ji said is the same as what I think in my heart.

As long as I have the banner of Song characters, I can fly on the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Even if I am scolded by the officials, I can deal with it calmly. ”

Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen heard them clearly when he entered the door just now.

Hearing Kou Ji mention that the banner of Song characters was flying on the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Zhen felt very uplifted.

If there was a day, he would think he would wake up laughing when he slept.

His grandfather and father, what he had never been able to accomplish in his life, was completed by him, how could he not be excited, not excited?

As for how much to put out in order to achieve this goal, Zhao Zhen can accept it.

He didn't care at all about being scolded or something.

Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors saw Zhao Zhen and hurriedly got up to give a salute.

"The old minister (minister) see the official family!"

Zhao Zhen stepped forward, dragged Kou Zhun back, and said to the two of them: "Don't be polite. ”

Kou Zhun slowly straightened up, his eyes lingered on Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "Since both of you think so, then the old man will order the Privy Council and let them issue a dispatch document." ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and said, "If they enter the capital with a sword, they will also need a tiger talisman." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Of course, you have to enter Beijing with a blade, without a blade, how can you be considered a soldier or a horse?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded, muttered repeatedly, stared at Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, and said, "You two can think clearly, once the old man's handwritten letter is sent to the Privy Council, there will be no room for maneuver in this matter." ”

Kou Ji didn't say anything, he bowed directly to Kou Zhun, and proved his attitude with his actions.

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, and felt that he should also follow Kou Ji's example, so he just arched his hand.

Kou Zhun waved his hand and said, "No need...... The old man will write you a handwritten letter right away. ”

Kou Zhun returned to the table, took a piece of Chengxintang paper for writing official documents, and wrote a handwritten letter for the eunuch to pass to the Privy Council.

After receiving Kou Zhun's order, the Privy Council will issue a document on the transfer of troops, as well as a tiger charm.

According to the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, the Privy Council has the power to dispatch soldiers and horses from all over the world to fight and command battles, and at the same time controls the tiger talisman for troop transfer.

But the Privy Council did not have the power to command the army.

The power to command the army is in the Sanya.

In the past, when there was a war, it was the Privy Council that drew up a battle plan, issued documents and tiger talismans for the mobilization of troops, and the three yamen issued generals to lead the troops and horses.

But the situation of the Tiger Army is somewhat special.

The Privy Council has the power to issue transfer documents, but the control is in the hands of Zhao Zhen.

In fact, Zhao Zhen can mobilize the Son of Heaven's army into Beijing without going through the Privy Council.

But considering that he might encounter trouble along the way, Koji specially asked the Privy Council to issue a paperwork.

After Kou Zhun's handwritten letter was sent out.

He sighed to Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen and said, "You two are good at your own thing." ”

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen glanced at each other.

Kou Ji arched his hand at Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen withdrew from the Shishitang.

Out of the Shishido.

Zhao Zhen dragged Kou Ji to the side hall where he rested on weekdays, and asked Kou Ji, "What are you doing when you suddenly dispatched the Tiger Army into Beijing?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Secret? ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned and asked, "Can't even I know?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, stared at Zhao Zhen and said with a smile: "If the official family wants to know, the minister will not hide it." ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, shook his head and smiled: "Then I still don't ask...... If I don't hold back for a while, I'm afraid it will ruin your plan. ”

Zhao Zhen straightened his waist, put on a straight face, and said to Kou Ji seriously: "You are my henchman, everything you do is for me, I believe in you." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Zhen in amazement, and said suspiciously: "Official...... You ......"

Koji raised his hand and pointed to his head.

In other words, ask Zhao Zhen if there is something wrong?

Zhao Zhen couldn't hold back for a moment, his face drooped, and he smiled bitterly: "There's nothing wrong with my brain......"

Kou Ji said suspiciously: "Then you ......"

Zhao Zhen said frankly: "I have been looking at the living notes of Taizu and Taizong in recent days, and some of the methods of the emperor are mentioned in them, and I want to try them." ”

Kou Ji squinted at Zhao Zhen, his face a little ugly.

I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to take me as a person?

"Official, do you have a knife?"

Kou Ji asked with a gloomy face.

Zhao Zhen was puzzled: "What do you want a knife for?" Cutting the invention of the will? ”

"No...... Cut off the robe and cut off the righteousness ......"

Kou Ji said seriously.

A trace of bitterness appeared on Zhao Zhen's face, "I know that you won't be scared by these little tricks of mine, so I'll just give it a try." As for thou wilt cut off thy robe?

I'm just a friend like you.

If you cut off your robe with me, I will be a loner. ”

Kou Ji glanced left and right, and saw that Chen Lin was not in the palace, nor was he hiding in that corner to peek, so he rushed to Zhao Zhen and said fiercely: "I treat you as a brother, but you want to accept me as a servant." If I don't cut my robe with you, who will I cut off my robe with? ”

Zhao Zhen said sincerely: "I am wrong......

Kou Ji sighed, suddenly distanced himself from Zhao Zhen, and said with emotion: "Actually, the official family is not wrong...... You are the king, I am the minister. I was born to be your servant, and you should do this to me. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I really don't mean that. I've always treated you like my own brother. If not, I wouldn't have followed Liu Heng's example and called you the fourth brother. ”

Kou Ji sneered in his heart.

Look, I can't cure you anymore?

But he sighed and said: "Don't say that, the official family must not say that, there is a difference between you and me." If others hear what you say, I'm afraid the minister will lose his head. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he panicked even more, and sighed: "How can you forgive me?" You can't be like Mr. Li, right? ”

Seeing that Kou Ji was silent.

Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart.

"I'm going to get you a board?"

Kou Ji saw that Zhao Zhen really had the posture of taking the board, and immediately knew that the time was coming, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and said: "The minister is joking with the official, and the official family doesn't have to take it seriously." ”

Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Then I call you a fourth brother, do you dare to agree?" ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Then you can call it." ”

Zhao Zhen grinned and said, "Fourth brother! ”

"Hey...... Oops...... Oops...... Let go! ”

Kou Ji was just about to enjoy the feeling of the emperor treating him as a brother, when a thin hand with only bones left reached into his waist and pinched the soft flesh of his waist twice.

Kou Ji jumped to his feet in pain, and after dodging Chen Lin's continuous attacks, he glared at him angrily.

Chen Lin, an old man, is always elusive.

Just now, Kou Ji carefully searched in the side hall, but found no trace of this old thing.

Unexpectedly, this old man appeared beside him again.

Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said coldly: "Our family just left for a while, and you are unruly again." Are you the heir of the first emperor? Do you have royal blood in your body?

You dare to call the official family a brother, are you worthy? ”

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly excused Kou Ji and said: "I have to call it, it has nothing to do with Kou Ji, so don't blame Kou Ji for Chen Daban." ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin fiercely, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Official, Chen Lin and Chen Gonggong are already old, and according to the rules of the palace, it is time to release them from the palace and return to their hometowns."

Gonggong Chen has worked hard for the royal family for many years, and now that he is old, it is time to go back and enjoy the blessings.

Could it be that the official family can't bear to see Gonggong Chen so old, and still work hard for you? ”

Kou Ji said good things for Chen Lin on his lips, but he wanted to kill Chen Lin in his heart.

Dead eunuch, can't you pinch it in another place?

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he looked sideways at Chen Lin, thoughtful.

Seeing this, Chen Lin was a little panicked, "Official, you can't listen to Kou Ji's gossip." The slave and maid have no parents, no wives and no children, and no blood relatives in the family. Out of the palace, the slave and maid will become a lonely old man. ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Chen Lin was panicked, and hurriedly said: "I am used to Chen Da accompanying you, and if I change others, I am afraid I will not get used to it." I'm just wondering if I should give you less errands and make it easier for you to get old. ”

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

He saw Zhao Zhen thinking about it sideways just now, and really thought that Zhao Zhen didn't plan to take into account his feelings for many years of companionship, and planned to let him out of the palace.

Chen Lin bowed deeply to Zhao Zhen and said: "The official family can love the slave and maid, and the slave and maid are very grateful. As for the errands on the slave and maid, the slave and the maid can still handle it properly.

When the slave and maid are not in order, tell the official family, and it is not too late for the official family to reduce the errands for the slave and maid. ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a moment and nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Lin grinned.

When he turned around and saw Kou Ji, his face was full of anger.

Kou Ji had a breezy face.

Koji's unexpected discovery.

He, Chen Lin, and Zhao Zhen formed a complete food chain.

Chen Lin can embarrass him, he can embarrass Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen can embarrass Chen Lin.
