Kou Zhong turned around and said with a dry smile: "The young master sent someone from Huazhou. He wrote to say that you are not too young, and there has been no woman around you to take care of you, so I picked a few for you and sent them over.

He also said that if you fancy that, you can be included in the room as a concubine. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he ordered Kou Zhong with a dark face: "Send them to the backyard steward, and let the backyard steward find something to do for them." I don't need them to serve me, and I won't take them as concubines. ”

Kou Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The young master also said that there is one of them who is the daughter of the county lieutenant's family......"

Kou Ji glared at Kou Zhong.

Kou Zhong hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, "The old servant will go." ”

Kou Ji led Liu Heng and sat down in a side room first, and only after Kou Zhong left with the girls in the Four Monarchs Garden, he returned to the Four Monarchs Garden.

Those girls also obeyed the rules, and they didn't touch the things in the Four Monarchs Garden, nor did they make a mess of the Four Monarchs' Garden.

Kou Ji returned to the garden, and did not rush to wash, but ran to the study, found a box in the corner of the desk, and was relieved to confirm that the box had not been touched.

The box contained some of the things he wrote when he was planning the six parts, and they couldn't see the light of day, let alone pass them on.

Kou Ji put the box back in and went back to the room to wash.

Kou Zhong had already asked people to prepare water and clean clothes.

After Kou Ji washed up and dressed neatly, he appeared in the garden and sat down with Liu Heng to continue talking.

They chatted for a long time, and Kou Zhong ordered someone to send wine and food.

Liu Heng accompanied Kou Ji to eat a little.

For the rest of the time, most of the time was Liu Heng talking and Kou Ji eating.

By the time Kou Ji finished eating, Liu Heng had roughly finished speaking.

In the past few days that Kou Ji has been in the palace, a lot of things have happened in Bianjing City, most of which are related to Liu E.

Liu Heng carefully told Kou Ji everything, and after Kou Ji listened, he wiped his mouth and said, "According to what you said, now the whole country is shouting for the demon queen?" ”

Liu Heng nodded heavily and said, "That's good...... My aunt's situation is not good. My father's hair has turned gray these days. ”

Kou Ji threw down the handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said, "What's the hurry, what's the urgency." If your aunt's position had been so easily shaken, she would not have been sitting firmly until today. ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment and asked, "According to what you mean, those people can't help my aunt." ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and sighed, "When the first emperor was here, they did this, maybe they could shake your aunt's status. The first emperor is no longer here, and they are doing it in vain. ”

After a pause, Kou Ji scolded in a low voice: "A bunch of cheap people...... Why didn't my grandfather come out when they dealt with your aunt? Now jump out and stir up the wind and rain, there is a fart. ”

Liu Heng smiled: "It's really cheap......"

After laughing, Liu Heng's face sank again, and he said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, since my aunt's position is unshakable, wouldn't the things we did before be in vain?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said seriously: "Your aunt's status is unshakable, that's what I inferred." She may have this thought, but she will also panic in the face of the call of the whole country to kill her.

As long as the whole country continues to cry, she will never be able to sit comfortably in the position of the queen mother.

As soon as her mind is unstable, nothing we do will be in vain. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Now that others have helped us set up the east wind, it's time for us to hover along the east wind." ”

Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said seriously, "What should I do?" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "You don't have to do anything, just sit back and wait for promotion." ”

Liu Heng grinned, "And this good thing?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Liu Heng smiled: "Then I'll sit and wait for promotion." ”

Kou Ji raised the wine glass on the table and touched it with Liu Heng, the two looked at each other and smiled, and drank the wine glass.

The two sat and drank for a while, waiting until the wine had passed three rounds and the food had passed five flavors.

Liu Heng got up, arched his hand, and left the Kou Mansion.

As soon as Liu Heng left, Kou Zhong hurriedly entered the Four Monarchs Garden.

"Little master, someone asked you to go out."

Kou Ji asked, "What place?" ”

Kou Zhong bowed down and said, "Wanhua Pavilion ......"

Kou Ji nodded in a deep groan, letting Kou Zhong go down first.

After Kou Zhong left, Kou Ji shook his head and said to himself: "I just arrived at the house, and your ass is not hot yet, so you will come to the door." You're in a hurry......"

Kou Ji sat alone in the Four Monarchs Garden for a long time, and when Kou Zhong entered the Four Monarchs Garden for the second time, Kou Ji changed into plain clothes, followed the secret door of the Kou Mansion, left the Kou Mansion, and went to the Wanhua Pavilion.

When I arrived at the door of the Wanhua Pavilion, I saw that the Wanhua Pavilion was full of visitors.

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Heng died, and the country was mourned for three years. 、

Those who want to have fun can't go to the land of fireworks and willow lanes to have fun, so they can only go to this Wanhua Pavilion to be elegant.

Kou Ji shook his head and entered the Wanhua Pavilion, as soon as he entered the door.

Su Chan'er greeted her and complained in a low voice, "Why did you come?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at her and said lightly: "I advise you, be polite to me." I'm a guest of your host. Annoyed me, I turned around and left, and your boss blamed me, but you can't afford it. ”

Su Chan'er gritted her teeth and said viciously: "You are ruthless ......"

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Don't you say a few nice words? ”

Su Chan'er tried her best to restrain the anger in her chest, accompanied by a smiling face, and said to Kou Ji: "Childe, please upstairs." ”

Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and followed Su Chan'er upstairs.

There were no guests upstairs, and there were secret guards guarding them, Kou Ji guessed that Zhao Yuanyan should have arrived.

When Su Chan'er pushed the door open, Kou Ji really saw Zhao Yuanyan, wearing a mask, sitting in the room.

Kou Ji entered the door, and Su Chan'er closed the door and stood guard outside the door.

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Yuanyan, who was sitting at the table, wearing a mask, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, in front of me, you still want to wear a mask?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan took off the mask casually, threw it aside, and said lightly: "This king is doing this just to hide people's eyes." ”

When the words landed, Zhao Yuanyan looked at Kou Ji and said unhappily: "Are you late......?"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We haven't agreed on a time to meet." ”

Zhao Yuanyan snorted coldly: "Only others have ever waited for the king's share, and this king has never waited for others." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "For example...... Official? ”

Zhao Yuanyan's face turned cold, and he glared at Kou Ji viciously.

Kou Ji smiled and sat in front of Zhao Yuanyan.

Zhao Yuanyan scolded: "Rude...... Has the king allowed you to sit? ”

Kou Ji didn't have any fear at all, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, put it back on the table in disgust, and said with a smile: "The prince has been complimented a lot recently." The temper has grown a lot, and the majesty has grown a lot.

In the palace, or outside, you are the prince, I am a lower official, and I am not qualified to sit on an equal footing with you.

But in this Wanhua Pavilion, we are just a cooperative relationship.

The status is equal to you, and it is qualified to be on an equal footing with you. ”

When Zhao Yuanyan heard this, he frowned, and said coldly: "This king doesn't want to spend more pure colors with you, this king just wants to know when you will do what you promised this king." ”

Kou Ji smiled: "The prince refers to the sixth? ”

Zhao Yuanyan glared at Kou Ji, "Have you promised this king anything else?" ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "That's not ......"

Zhao Yuanyan glared at Kou Ji and asked, "When?" ”

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Tomorrow! ”

Zhao Yuanyan slapped the table and said, "Okay, then tomorrow." If you refuse to play tomorrow, please stop the sixth, and the king will find someone to do it for you. ”

Kou Ji's face changed, and he frowned slightly, "Is the prince planning to leave me behind and go it alone?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan snorted coldly: "If you don't do it, this king can only do it alone." ”

Kou Ji's face turned slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I advise the prince not to have this kind of thought. ”

Zhao Yuanyan said disdainfully: "This king has done this, what can you do to me." ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I can't help Liu E, that's because Liu E has power in his hands." Do you have one? You don't! But my grandfather had, my grandfather had, as I had.

Although the Zhao clan is noble, it does not mean that the imperial court has no way to govern you. ”

Zhao Yuanyan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, stared at Kou Ji viciously, and didn't say a word.

Kou Ji slowly got up, stared at Zhao Yuanyan and said: "I, Kou Ji, have always said the same, I said that tomorrow will be tomorrow, and I will never change it." I hope you will keep our agreement and don't do anything against it.

Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't let people spread some rumors about the death of brothers. ”

"Poof!"

Zhao Yuanyan heard the words 'brother and brother', stood up suddenly, and glared at Kou Ji angrily.

As if he hadn't seen his angry gaze, Koji arched his hand at him and left the room.

Zhao Yuanyan just stood in the room, and with an angry gaze, he sent Kou Ji out of the room.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Not long after Kou Ji left, a soft cough came from next door.

Zhao Yuanyan withdrew his angry gaze and walked quickly to the wall of the room, on the wall, there was a hidden handle, he pulled the handle open, revealing an old figure.

It was an old man, the same age as Kou Zhun, but his spirit was more than Kou Zhun, and it could be seen that his body was better than Kou Zhun.

The cough just now was also deliberately coughed up by him, not that he was really sick and in pain.

Zhao Yuanyan saw the old man, hurriedly greeted him, helped him, and snorted softly, "The gall is ......"

The old man shook his head and laughed in a low voice: "The old man has been deposed for many years, and the old man is no longer worthy of the word gall." ”

Zhao Yuanyan said with a smile: "In the heart of this king, the gall has always been the gall. ”

The old man glanced at Zhao Yuanyan, shook his head and said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to treat the old man like this. Corporal Lixian's methods are suitable for those young people, but they are not suitable for old men.

Since the old man has promised to help the prince, he will not break his promise.

I also hope that the prince will remember his promise to the old man. ”

Zhao Yuanyan was not dissatisfied with the old man's lecture on him at all, but said righteously: "As long as this king can get what this king wants, this king will definitely not treat the gall minister badly." ”

The old man smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yuanyan said again: "The conversation between this king and the little fox just now, can you hear it?" ”

The old man nodded and said, "I heard it, I heard it clearly." ”

The old man paused, looked at Zhao Yuanyan and said, "It's not appropriate for you to call him a little fox." ”

Zhao Yuanyan was stunned.

The old man stared at the door of the room, as if staring at Kou Ji, and said faintly: "That's a wolf cub......"

"Wolves?"

Zhao Yuanyan looked disdainful, "At most, he is just a little clever little fox, how can he become a wolf." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "The old man's feelings can't go wrong, he is definitely a wolf cub." Don't look at him just playing some intrigues, just think that he won't eat people.

It's not that he can't eat people, it's that his minions haven't grown yet.

Once his minions grow, he will definitely eat people. ”

Zhao Yuanyan frowned and said, "Is he really so powerful?" ”

The old man smiled: "A single plan to ask for the dismissal of the six ministries has calculated the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, isn't this powerful?" Don't forget, you and I are also in his game.

When the old man was as old as him, let alone calculating people, he had the intention of harming people, and he would be ashamed and embarrassed in his heart.

When you were as old as him, you were still reading poetry and books, right? ”

Zhao Yuanyan pursed his lips and nodded.

The old man smiled: "This wolf cub, if you can take it for your own use, it will definitely become your greatest help." If you can't take it for yourself, then he's your biggest adversary. ”

The old man looked at Zhao Yuanyan and said with a smile: "Find a chance and kill him." ”

Zhao Yuanyan was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you just say that if he can be used by this king, he will definitely become the greatest help to this king?" Why did you let this king kill him again? ”

The old man looked at Zhao Yuanyan and said seriously: "Has he ever been afraid in front of you?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan shook his head.

The old man said, "He has no fear of you, so how can he surrender to you?" And what about using it for you? ”

When Zhao Yuanyan heard this, his face sank.

The old man said to Zhao Yuanyan: "The way of employing people is difficult to say, and it is easy to say simple. Authoritative authority, no authority, no power. If you can't deter others, you don't have the power to dominate them.

Remember this sentence, look with your heart, feel with your heart, and you will see who is truly surrendered to you and who is falsely surrendered to you. ”

When Zhao Yuanyan heard this, he bowed to the old man, "This king has been taught." ”

The old man saw that Zhao Yuanyan listened to his words, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Tomorrow morning, there will definitely be a storm in the court, you need to prepare early."

The old man advised.

Zhao Yuanyan said in a deep voice: "The preparations that should be made, this king has already prepared. ”

The old man nodded slowly and laughed in a low voice: "Then let's sit and watch the changes in the court." ”

Zhao Yuanyan smiled and nodded.

……

Outside the Wanhua Pavilion.

Kou Ji turned around and glanced at Zhao Yuanyan's location, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He stood in place for a long time before leaving the Wanhua Pavilion.

The desire for power in Zhao Yuanyan's heart was released by him with his own hands.

He thought that he could watch Zhao Yuanyan's desire for power continue to grow, and finally strangle it in the cradle, but he didn't expect that in just a few tens of days, Zhao Yuanyan's desire for power skyrocketed.
