"There are two people who need the help of their uncle to get them out."

Kou Ji said with a smile.

Wang Shu nodded slowly and asked, "Who?" ”

Kou Ji reported two names, "Liu Heng, Cao Tong ......"

Wang Shu was stunned and narrowed his eyes, "People from the Liu Mansion and the Cao Mansion? If they are willing to come out, it will be easy for them to use your interference? ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "I want to transfer the two of them to the Criminal Division, one as the governor of the prison, and the other as the patrol officer." ”

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and said unexpectedly: "You want to grab the power of the Criminal Division?" ”

Kou Ji didn't hide it, and nodded seriously.

Wang Shu glanced at Kou Ji up and down, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what the Criminal Division is?" ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Naturally, I know ......"

Wang Shu shook his head, "No! You don't know! The Criminal Division is in the officialdom, and it also has another name, called Waitai. The outer stage of the imperial court, the outer platform of the inner court. What is an outer stage? In the Later Han Dynasty, the history of the assassin was the governor of the state and county, and he was the governor of the state and county.

You can think of it as a person, a county magistrate, as a head, and as a prince, that is, limbs and bodies.

Now, the inner court is the head of the man, and the arraignment department is the hands, feet, and body of the man.

With such an important yamen, the inner court will never allow its authority to fall into your hands.

Even if your grandfather is willing to nod, Li Di and Ding Wei, as well as the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, will not agree.

As I expected, in a few days, the Inner Court will send someone else to serve as the arranger of the Sentencing Division.

Even if you insert people into the yamen of the Criminal Punishment Department now, in a few days, after the new officials take office, they will be kicked out. ”

Kou Ji grinned, "I know what you said, but I still want to try." Moreover, with the background of Liu Heng and Cao Tong, even if the new officials take office, if they want to get rid of them, they have to weigh them. ”

Wang Shu sneered: "As far as I know, your new official is not an easy character to deal with. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "The inner court has been decided?" ”

Wang Shu shook his head, "It hasn't been decided yet, but there are already two candidates." ”

"Who?"

"Xia Zhu! Zhang Zhibai! ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned, "It's actually the two of them......"

Wang Shu nodded.

Kou Ji was puzzled: "Zhang Zhibai's resume is not light, let him serve as the arranger of the Criminal Division, that is to demote the official." Can he say yes? ”

Zhang Zhibai is a person who has served as a governor and political officer.

A person who has entered the inner court, he is also a weighty person in the court.

Let him hold a four-grade official position, isn't it a demotion to an official?

Wang Shu glanced at Kou Ji and said, "It is precisely because of this that Li Di proposed to let Zhang Zhibai serve as a second-grade official as a criminal officer. Ding Wei refused to nod his head on the grounds of non-compliance.

Your grandfather also felt a little unruly, but there was no suitable candidate, so he was a little hesitant.

Then someone took the opportunity to launch Xia Zhu.

Now your grandfather is weighing between Zhang Zhibai and Xia Zhu. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and muttered, "Even if one of the two of them serves as a criminal officer, I'm not afraid. I still want to try, even if I can't get all the power of the Criminal Division, it would be good to get some. ”

Wang Shu looked at Kou Ji in amazement and reminded: "Whether it is Zhang Zhibai or Xia Zhu, it is not easy to deal with ......."

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said solemnly: "So I'm going to raise and add another person." ”

"Who?"

"Fan Zhongyan!"

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "Fan Zhongyan...... Who is it? ”

Kou Ji was also stunned, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "Fan Zhongyan, formerly known as Zhu Shuo, is currently the official of the Jiqing Army's Festival......"

Wang Shu suddenly said, "If you want to say what Zhu said, I still have a little impression." You said Fan Zhongyan, I really don't know who it is for a while. I have the impression that this person is a jinshi who has been in Dazhong Xiangfu for eight years, and I was his marking officer at that time, and I reviewed his papers.

I don't find anything unusual about this man, why do you think so highly of him?

Have you seen this before? ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I haven't seen ......."

Wang Shu was stunned and said, "Then where did you learn about him?" ”

Kou Ji chuckled in a low voice: "I found him in the documents left by Zhang Lun. It's not me who really values him, it's Zhang Lun. ”

In fact, Kou Ji hadn't read the documents left by Zhang Lun at all.

The reason why he said this was to let Zhang Lun endorse him.

It is recorded in the history books that it was Zhang Lun who recommended Fan Zhongyan to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to reuse him.

What's more, with Zhang Lun's endorsement, Wang Shu naturally won't delve into the question of how Kou Ji knew about Fan Zhongyan.

It was impossible for him to go to Zhang Lun for questioning.

Wang Shu glanced at Kou Ji up and down, clicked his mouth, and sighed: "Zhang Lun hates you to the bone, and you dare to use the people he values?" ”

Kou Ji grinned and said, "He values it, but the person who really supports Fan Zhongyan is me." Fan Zhongyan will have achievements in the future, and if he wants to repay the kindness of his support, he should also repay me. ”

"You kid......"

Wang Shu pointed at Kou Ji with a smile.

Kou Ji smiled faintly.

Wang Shu pondered for a moment and asked, "With Fan Zhongyan's words, what are your chances of winning against Xia Zhu or Zhang Zhibai?" ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and hesitated: "I don't dare to talk about the odds, but it is enough to protect myself." ”

When Wang Shu heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, "Even if you are a little self-aware, I am really afraid that you will say something that will undoubtedly win." Xia Zhu and Zhang Zhibai, these two people are not Zhang Lun.

In terms of merit, the two of them did not lose to Zhang Lun for their contributions to the imperial court.

In terms of ability and dealing with people, the two of them are far stronger than Zhang Lun.

Especially Zhang Zhibai, the old Manchu Dynasty, intertwined, is not something you can deal with at all. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I know the depth ......."

Although Kou Ji said this, he didn't agree with Wang Shu's statement in his heart.

In Kou Ji's heart, among Zhang Lun, Zhang Zhibai, and Xia Zhu, the most difficult to deal with is Xia Zhu.

Zhang Lun has a strong temperament.

Zhang Zhibai has the style of a gentleman.

But Xia Zhu is completely different from them.

Xia Zhu is also righteous and evil, loyal and treacherous are difficult to distinguish, and no one can figure out his character.

This kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.

If he served as a criminal officer, Kou Ji really had to be careful to watch out for one or two.

Wang Shu didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, he saw Kou Ji nodding and said, "Since you already have an idea, then I won't stop you." The three people you mentioned, I will find a way to get them into the Criminal Division.

I also hope that you will gain a foothold in the Criminal Division and be a great addition to your grandfather's strength. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you uncle for making it complete." ”

Wang Shu waved his hand and said: "Don't be so outside, I, who is an uncle, should carry you and help you." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he laughed out loud.

Wang Shu also grinned.

Wang Kou's coincidentally led the maid to the main hall at this time, with wine and food.

Kou Ji accompanied Wang Shu to eat some simply.

During the dinner, I didn't talk about business anymore, but talked about some family life.

After late at night, Wang Kou arranged for Kou Ji to sleep in the wing room of the mansion.

Wang Kou settled Kou Ji and returned to the main hall.

Wang Shu was drinking tea in the main hall, and he was not in a hurry to rest, and when he saw Wang Kou's arrival, he asked with a smile: "What do you think, how is your nephew?" ”
