Kou Ji only knew that Zhao Yuanyan's desire for power was growing, but he didn't know that in order to gain a firm foothold in the court, Zhao Yuanyan invited an old fox to return to the court behind his back.

If he knew, he would definitely find a way to trick Zhao Yuanyan and make Zhao Yuanyan stop.

Kou Ji returned to the house alone, plunged into the study, took down a book of the upper music from the bookshelf in the study, rummaged through it, and found a suitable one, deleted and reduced, and made up a twist.

He took up his pen and wrote down the folds, and when the ink had dried, he closed them and tucked them into his cuffs.

I took the fold back to the bedroom, and I didn't have a wide coat, so I fell asleep.

Kou Ji stayed in the palace for forty-nine days, didn't eat well or slept well, and now that he has returned to the mansion, he naturally wants to eat and drink well and sleep well to make up for himself.

However, Kou Ji lay on the bed, lying with his eyes closed for a long time, and did not fall asleep.

Obviously very sleepy, but I can't sleep in bed.

Kou Ji got up from the bed and knelt on the bed, his head drooped, and he immediately felt sleepy, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

"This ...... This...... What a ......."

Kou Ji muttered twice, lay down on the bed, and continued to sleep.

He was used to sleeping on his knees in the palace, but now that he was lying down, he couldn't sleep.

"It's so cheap......"

Kou Ji lay down and complained, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before slowly falling asleep.

This sleep, I slept until the third watch.

I slept for six hours.

It was the most comfortable sleep he had ever slept in the past forty-nine days.

On the third watch, Kou Zhong picked up the lantern, knocked on the door of Kou Ji's room, and called softly.

"Little master, get up, it's time to go to court."

Under Kou Zhong's urging three or four times, Kou Ji reluctantly got up from the bed.

After he got up, Kou Zhong had already ordered someone to prepare water for washing, he washed up briefly, changed into court clothes, and went out of the Sijun Garden.

He did not rush to the court, but first went to the place where Kou Mansion ate.

By the time he arrived at the dining hall of Kou's Mansion, Kou Zhun was already sitting inside, eating in an orderly manner.

Kou Ji walked in, bowed, and after giving the salute, sat down opposite Kou Zhun and began to eat.

The grandfather and grandson had eaten.

Kou Zhun patted Kou's bus and "pushed the old man to go to the ......"

Kou Ji agreed, and pushed Kou Zhun out of the hall door.

As soon as he left the hall, he felt a little cold, and immediately asked Kou Zhong to find a blanket and cover Kou Zhun's legs.

Kou Zhong looked at Kou Ji's action of helping him cover the blanket, and his heart was warm.

On the way to the palace, there were naturally a few more words.

"Your kid has never been to the court before, you don't understand many rules in the court, and when you arrive at the vertical arch hall for a while, remember to listen more and watch more, and talk less."

Kou Zhun sat on the Kou bus and whispered to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "Today's morning dynasty, I'm afraid it won't be calm, and it's difficult for my grandson not to speak." ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Are you going to do it?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "If you don't take advantage of the time when the whole country is condemning Liu E now, you won't have a chance in the future." ”

Kou Zhun thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "This is also ......"

Kou Ji grinned and said in a low voice: "I thought that my grandfather would say that with your support, it doesn't matter if I move or not." ”

"Heh......"

Kou Zhun laughed mockingly, "In the past, the old man might have said this kind of thing, but now, the old man can't say it if he wants to." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said helplessly: "The old man's body and bones can't compare to Liu E after all." ”

Kou Ji frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Grandfather's body is wrong again?" ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and sighed: "There is nothing wrong with the old man's body and bones, not only is he not sick, but he has improved greatly. ”

Kou Ji hurriedly said: "Then grandfather, why do you want to say that you can't compare to Liu E......

Kou Zhun glanced back at Kou Ji, his voice was extremely low, and said, "When the old man was dealing with the government in recent days, he obviously felt a little powerless......

When Kou Ji heard this, his heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice: "Then we have to speed up the pace of the six ministries seizing power." ”

Kou Zhun was slightly stunned, and asked, "What does the old man's question have to do with the six departments?" ”

Kou Ji explained: "When the Sixth Ministry did not seize power, the affairs of the court, large and small, had to be handled by my grandfather. Once the Six Ministries seized power, Grandfather didn't need to be so tired, and all the big and small affairs could be handed over to the Six Ministries. At that time, grandfather only needs to control the decision-making power, and the accountability power is enough. The rest, you don't need to worry about it. ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji unexpectedly, and laughed in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to help the six departments seize power, and there is such a deep meaning." If the six departments can really handle the big and small affairs assigned to them by the old man, then the old man can indeed relax a lot. ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said, "When you were planning to help the Six Ministries seize power, you had this kind of thought? ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "My grandson also thought of it when he heard his grandfather say that he couldn't do it. ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly and said, "Your brain is spinning quite fast." ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun said again: "By the way, the old man forgot to tell you that you are about to be promoted." ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Didn't my grandfather say in the Vertical Arch Hall before that his grandson was too young and had no great contribution to the imperial court, so he couldn't be awarded a fifth-grade official?" Why do you say that your grandson is going to be promoted? ”

Kou Zhun patted the handrail of Kou's bus and said faintly: "I didn't have it before, but now I have ......."

Kou Ji looked dazed.

Seeing Kou Ji's blank face, Kou Zhun reminded with a smile: "Helping the official family guard the spirit is a great achievement......

Kou Ji was stunned and said, "This is also a credit?" ”

Kou Zhun smacked his lips and said, "How can it not be credited?" You guarded the soul of the first emperor and dedicated your filial piety, and the court naturally got a reward. ”

Kou Ji sighed: "This official promotion is a bit too easy......

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and you are qualified to help the first emperor guard the spirit, and you are the only one who can help the first emperor guard the spirit." This unique credit falls on your head, and it is naturally easy to be promoted. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "So, my spirit is not in vain?" ”

Kou Zhun smiled and said, "If Bai Shou is a man, the old man will not let you go." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he also laughed.

The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed and arrived in front of Donghua Gate.

The front of Donghua Gate was already full of people.

"There are a lot of people today......"

Kou Zhun looked at the officials in front of Donghua Gate who were twice as many as usual, and said quietly.

Kou Ji laughed in a low voice: "After the official family ascended the throne, it was the first time that the dynasty came, and there were naturally many people. ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid most people are coming for the Queen Mother." ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said: "They have been planning for forty-nine days, and they have waited for forty-nine days, and they have finally waited until today, so naturally they can't be absent." ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "The Queen Mother is not moving." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "If I'm active, I won't plan the six." ”

"Huh?!" 、

Kou Zhun's eyes fell on the official in front of Donghuamen, his brows condensed slightly, Kou Ji sensed that something was wrong, and asked, "Grandfather, what's wrong?" ”

Kou Zhun stared at an old figure in front of Donghua Gate, frowned and said, "Why did this old immortal come here?" ”

Kou Ji followed Kou Zhun's gaze and saw an old man, the old man seemed to have a very high status in the court, and there were many acquaintances gathered around him.

But Koji didn't know him.

Looking at Kou Zhun's posture, he obviously doesn't deal with this person.

Kou Ji stared at the figure of the old man and asked, "Grandfather, who is this person?" ”

Kou Zhun stared at the figure of the old man, and said faintly: "Wang Qinruo! ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows again and again, and he said with a look of surprise: "Wang Qinruo, who is known as the 'gall'? ”

Kou Zhun nodded solemnly and said, "A traitorous villain who is on par with Ding Wei is more insidious than Ding Wei and more insidious than Ding Wei. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.

There is no need for Kou Zhun to explain this.

When Kou Zhun said Wang Qinruo's name, Kou Ji knew what kind of person he was.

Because Wang Qinruo is a person, he is also a well-known existence in the history books.

It is recorded in the history books that in the early days of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were five great traitors, collectively known as the five ghosts of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Qinruo was one of them, and he lived in seclusion at the head of the five ghosts.

can be in the first place among many traitors, then he should not be underestimated.

Kou Ji sensed jealousy in Kou Zhun's expression.

He reminded in a low voice: "Grandfather, you are now in the position of regent, and he has not even entered the inner court......

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "You're right, with the old man's status today, why care about him." The old man was framed by him back then, and was deposed as prime minister by the first emperor. When I saw him again, I naturally made some gaffes and let you see the joke. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently and did not speak.

Kou Zhun opened his mouth to remind: "With the old man's status today, he can only bow down in front of the old man. The old man can't match him. But be careful, he's likely to be up against you. ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "If you really want to follow him, don't keep your hands." You must do everything you can to get rid of him. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Grandfather wants his grandson to help you avenge the revenge of the year?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "The old man wants revenge, why do you need to take action?" The reason why the old man won't let you keep his hand is to remind you that this person is very cunning, and once you keep your hand on him, he will climb up and step you down again, stepping into the mud.

If you don't want to stay in the mud anymore, don't be soft when dealing with him. ”

Kou Zhun This is purely empirical.

Back then, he was framed by Wang Qinruo, from a powerful minister to a wandering official, how miserable and miserable it was.

Kou Ji groaned, "Why didn't Grandfather find an opportunity to step on him?" ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said lightly: "If there is really a chance, the old man will naturally not miss it." ”

Just as the ancestors and grandsons were talking, Wang Shu, Wang Zeng, Li Di and others also arrived one after another.

They all came up to Kou Zhun and saluted each other.

Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandsons did not talk about Wang Qinruo anymore.

Several people got together and began to talk about the government.

As soon as Li Di opened his mouth, he complained, "Brother Kou, you can do a chore for me." ”

Kou Zhun asked: "There was an accident in the construction of the imperial mausoleum?" ”

Li Di shook his head and said, "That's not the case...... But only half of the money allocated by the three divisions for the construction of the imperial tomb was given, when will they give me the other half? If the construction of the imperial tomb is delayed because of the problem of the allocation of funds from the three divisions, whose fault is it when the time comes to judge the crime? ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, his brows condensed slightly, and he sighed: "The other half was stopped by the Queen Mother. ”

When Li Di heard this, he jumped to his feet angrily, "That's the appropriation for the construction of the imperial tomb for the first emperor, and she dares to stop it?" ”

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "What are you anxious about, when the autumn tax is in the warehouse, I will naturally make up the other half for you." The Queen Mother stopped half of the appropriation, also to cope with unforeseen needs. ”

Li Di said angrily: "What is more important than building the imperial tomb? ”

Kou Zhun clenched his fists slightly, and sighed: "The envoys of various countries to mourn the first emperor are about to enter Beijing. The New Year's coin given to Liao is also about to be delivered. ”

Li Di said angrily: "The queen mother withheld those money, in order to give back to the vassal state of Fanbang, and to dedicate it to the Liao country?" ”

Kou Zhun looked up at him and said, "Otherwise......"

Li Di scolded, "Those things offered by Fanbang's vassal states are not as valuable as a broken house in Bianjing City, and the imperial court still wants to give them heavy gifts, why?" ”

Wang Zeng said seriously on the side: "We are the upper state of the Heavenly Empire. ”

Li Di laughed angrily and asked, "Slap the fat man's face and rush to the heavenly kingdom of the fat man?" ”

The king was speechless.

Li Di continued to roar: "There are also the New Year's coins of the Liao Kingdom, why give them to them? But we won, they lost. After winning the battle, I also gave people New Year's coins, and I Li Di looked through many classics, but I haven't seen it.

From ancient times to the present, I am the only one who has done this.

The face of the ancestors was lost. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he glared and roared: "You Li Di has resentment in his heart, why don't I have resentment in my heart?" When is it now, the new monarch has just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are still unstable and chaotic.

Even if you have grievances, you have to hold back.

As long as the official family sits firmly on the throne, it is the time for us to go to the Liao people to collect debts.

At that time, even if you Li Di are unwilling to go, I will escort you to go. ”

"What are you talking about?"

As soon as Kou Zhun finished speaking, an old face appeared in front of several people.

When Kou Zhun and the others saw the old face, they all frowned.

The owner of that old face is Wang Qinruo.

Wang Qinruo approached Kou Zhun and the others, and said with a smile: "A few colleagues, I haven't seen you for many years, but you want to annoy me Wang." ”

"Phew!"

Li Di was not polite at all.

In front of Wang Qinruo, he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Wang Zeng and Wang Shu saw Wang Qinruo, and Qi Qi frowned.

Kou Zhun looked at Wang Qinruo's face for a moment or two, nodded lightly, and then instructed Kou Ji behind him: "Push the old man into the palace." ”

Kou Ji was looking at Wang Qinruo carefully, and when he heard Kou Zhun's words, he hurriedly agreed, pushed Kou Zhun's Kou bus, and crossed the Jinshui Bridge first.
