Zhao Run didn't get comfort in Kou Ji, so he could only go back to the palace with his head down.

After returning to the palace, he saw his mother, Empress Cao, instructing the palace lady and the eunuchs to carry boxes of things into the palace.

The box was tightly sealed, wrapped in a thick layer of leather.

Zhao Run only inquired a little, and knew that it was his uncle Cao Tong who specially sent someone to the palace.

After entering the dormitory, he saw that the personal female official and the attendant companion beside his queen mother were opening the box and counting the gold and silver treasures inside, Zhao Run felt a tingling in his heart.

He realized that he had been a villain.

His uncle Cao Tong used his mother's own money and his private money, but he left more money.

Seeing her son wandering around the palace in despair, Empress Cao instructed her cronies to keep an eye on Gong'e and the eunuchs moving things, and hurriedly walked to Zhao Run's side.

"Run'er?"

Empress Cao called.

Zhao Run's feet paused, and his eyes looked at Queen Cao with some blank eyes.

Seeing this, Empress Cao's pupils shrank, and she did not ask softly, but asked very sternly, "What happened?" ”

Zhao Run did not lie, nor did he hide it, but told everything to Empress Cao in a low voice.

After listening to Zhao Run's story, Queen Cao raised her eyebrows, shook her hand and gave Zhao Run a slap.

The crisp applause spread far and wide in the dormitory.

The eunuchs and palace ladies who were doing things were startled, and fell to their knees on the ground one by one in panic, touching their heads to the ground and covering their ears tightly with their hands.

Although Empress Cao is famous, it does not mean that Empress Cao is a good person.

The reason why the six palaces are so harmonious now is because of Queen Cao's ruthless rectification.

A red slap mark appeared on Zhao Run's face.

He didn't cry or shout, just stood quietly in front of Queen Cao.

Empress Cao stared at Zhao Run and asked coldly, "Do you know why you were beaten?" ”

Zhao Run lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Erchen shouldn't look down on his uncle......"

"Wrong!"

Empress Cao rudely interrupted Zhao Run's words, and said in a cold voice: "The reason why I beat you is because you are narrow-minded and short-sighted.

The royal family is rich all over the world, and you, as the eldest son of the royal family, are actually worried about some money.

With such an open-mindedness, how can you achieve great things?

Money is just money, it comes when it is called, and it goes away when it is lingering.

As long as the person who takes your money can help you do things, not only can you not blame him for taking your money, but you also have to persuade him to take more.

To the royal family, to you, the cheapest people are those who like money.

The most precious are those who do not seek fame or profit.

You are not willing to give up a little money, how to let the people of the world use it for you? And how to patiently conquer those who do not seek fame or profit? ”

Zhao Run pressed his head lower.

Empress Cao continued to say coldly: "Your uncle is definitely not a greedy person, when he was in control of the Yizi shop, he didn't take a penny. How can you look at my own money, your private money?

I used my money to help your uncle buy what he wanted, so I wanted to tell him that no matter where the Cao family is, no matter where our mother and son are, or what our identities are, we are all a family.

Only your uncle's family will die for you without regrets.

Your uncle crossed the ocean into the Central Plains this time, do you really think he bought it?

He's sending you and me money.

He is afraid that you and I will lack money, and we will not be able to win people's hearts and be ridden on the head.

I'm also afraid that you and I will be looked down upon if we lack money and food.

I'm even more afraid that you and I will lack money and lose our identity.

You only see your own money, but there is half a bit of friendship in your eyes?

Friendship in other people's homes, even if it is rare, but you can also get a few points.

But in my royal family, I don't necessarily get half a cent for draining the treasury.

Your father and your husband and ministers can support each other to this day, relying on friendship.

If your husband cares about money, even if your father exhausts the treasury, he will not be able to get half of your husband's loyalty. ”

After saying this, Empress Cao stayed in the side hall behind the hall and shouted: "Go to the side hall and be hungry, when you figure it out and when you come out." ”

Zhao Run drooped his head, didn't say a word, and went to the side hall behind the dormitory.

After Zhao Run left, Empress Cao looked around and said coldly: "This palace is not afraid that you will spread today's words, and this palace is afraid that you will not be able to pay that price." ”

The eunuchs and palace ladies in the dormitory trembled one by one, and no one dared to speak.

Empress Cao snorted coldly, "Do things!" ”

The eunuch and the palace lady hurriedly got up from the ground and hurried to do things.

Although Empress Cao didn't say what price they would pay if they chewed their tongues, they knew it in their hearts.

So they categorically did not dare to go out and gossip.

In addition, they are all Queen Cao's henchmen, and they are both prosperous and lossy with Queen Cao, so they will never dare to do anything that harms Queen Cao's interests.

Of course, Empress Cao taught her son in public, and she was not afraid of being passed on.

Anyway, she didn't say anything rebellious.

Even if it spreads, it won't affect her.

She just let go of her cruel words and let the people in her dormitory learn to obey the rules.

Empress Cao locked up Zhao Run because of Cao Tong.

Cao Tong was like a person who had nothing to do, and entered the bamboo courtyard where Kou Ji was.

Kou Ji was teaching his students arithmetic in the courtyard, and when he saw Cao Tong swaying into the door, he arranged a few arithmetic problems, let his students do it first, and took Cao Tong to the side to talk.

After inviting Cao Tong to sit down, he instructed the servant to serve tea.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You are ruthless enough to be an uncle." As soon as he entered Bianjing, he cleaned up his nephew. ”

Cao Tong was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said, "He complained to you?" ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "Otherwise? If you look for the queen, the queen will slap him with a big mouth. ”

Cao Tong smiled and said, "He didn't do anything wrong, why did he fight?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and asked: "Greedy for money, so obsessed with love, shouldn't you fight." ”

Cao Yan shook his head decisively.

Kou Ji was a little surprised: "You don't blame him? ”

Cao Tong asked rhetorically: "Why complain? What kind of affection does the royal person want, don't stay in the royal family if you want affection. I know that he is not greedy for money, he just likes the feeling of making money, and seeing his hard-earned money being hollowed out by me, a person who suddenly appeared, I should be unhappy. ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "You guys, you have to force people into cold wood. ”

Cao Tong smiled and said, "I didn't think about making my nephew a piece of wood. I just think he should be hard-hearted, he should be ruthless and unrighteous.

It would be better if he could show a little insatiable greed in addition to being hard-hearted and ruthless.

That's how royalty should be.

What's mine is mine, I give it to you so you can take it, I don't give it to you, you take it, that's not right.

You should reach out and chop your hands, and stretch out your feet to chop your feet.

Don't say it's your own uncle, even if it's your own brother, you can't keep it when it's time to be ruthless. ”

Kou Ji's brows subconsciously furrowed, "Your thoughts are a little biased......

Cao Tong smiled and asked, "Haven't royal families been like this since ancient times?" You have benevolence and righteousness, but others are tigers and wolves, and you can only die in the end.

Emperor Taizu's death is unknown, and you don't know it.

Emperor Taizong and Zhao Pu concocted a golden alliance, which became darker and darker.

The king of Wei also died in vain.

The king of Wugong was forced to commit suicide.

King Qi fell asleep, closed his eyes and never got up again, leaving only three words in the clan record'.

I had never heard of any illness he had before.

The eldest emperor was affectionate, but as a result, he not only lost the throne, but also set himself on fire in the deep palace.

In the final analysis, it is still the Eighth Emperor to be more open.

Although the means are clumsy, the reverse is the opposite, and there is no cover-up. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Tong looked in the direction of the palace and said faintly: "I would rather he be ruthless and unjust." At least that's how he can survive in that deep palace.

My Cao family is now sealed, and there are not many people who can help him.

So most of the time he has to rely on himself. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "The current royal family is different from before. ”

Cao Tong sneered: "If you have three sons, fight for the family property together, draw swords against each other, and never die, who will you help?"

Your favorite wives and concubines are shouting and cheering behind your back, what should you do?

Unless you cut them all down with a single sword, their fight will never stop.

In the end, who will tell you about love, isn't it that the winner is king, and the loser is the villain? ”

Kou Ji sighed: "There will always be a way to solve this matter, and the royal family should have some affection." ”

Cao Tong pursed his lips and did not speak.

He felt that Kou Ji was purely whimsical.

Kou Ji did not continue to talk to Cao Tong about this topic, he asked Cao Tong, "When are you leaving?" ”

Cao Tong looked at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "There are still two days." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "See you next time, I'm afraid it will be a few years later." ”

Cao Tong got up slowly, solemnly hugged his fists to Kou Ji and said, "I hope the fourth brother can help that stupid boy in the future." ”

Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke: "I don't want to participate in the matter of the royal succession, I can only guarantee that when I stay in Bianjing City, he will not have to worry about his life."

If I leave Bianjing City, everything in the Great Song Dynasty will not be up to me. ”

Cao Tong smiled heartily: "It's enough to have the words of the fourth brother." The fourth brother's affection Cao wrote it down. Where the fourth brother can get it in the future, Cao will never give up. ”

Kou Ji nodded, not saying anything more.

Kou Ji knew that Cao Tong was not lying, and if he really wanted to do something in the future, if he looked for Cao Tong, Cao Tong would definitely not refuse.

Cao Yan's affection is far less pure than Liu Heng's.

Cao Tong's affection always carries some transactional nature.

It's not that he's born that way.

But he was born in Xungui's family, and if he didn't treat everything as a transaction, he wouldn't be at ease, and neither would others.

Kou Ji feels that all the ruthlessness and unrighteousness are born from smart people.

Smart people always want to take advantage, so they force everyone to be ruthless and unjust, and in the end, all that is left is a simple transaction.

Cao Tong walked very freely.

After drinking a meal with Kou Ji and staying in the bamboo courtyard for one night, he got on the big boat on the pier of the Bianhe River and floated away.

The next meeting will probably be a few years away.

Maybe decades...... One eight

Maybe we will never see each other again in our lifetime......

The parting of the ancients was far more cruel than that of later generations.

Often a parting is an eternal secret.

After Cao Tong left, Bianjing City was still the same Bianjing City, and the Manchu Dynasty was still the same group of people.

It's just that there is one more student under Koji's door.

Zhao Run's younger brother Zhao Ze.

The royal name is exquisite, Zhao Run is the beginning of three points of water, other princes also start with three points of water, Zhao Run is a single word, and other princes are also single words.

The only difference is that among the many princes, only Zhao Run has a knighthood.

When Zhao Kuangyin won the world, he set a rule.

The prince is not under the age and is not allowed to leave the palace, that is, not to leave the cabinet.

If you don't leave the cabinet, you can't add a knighthood.

Only after leaving the cabinet will the house be given to the land, and the official will be added.

This rule came to Zhao Heng's hands, and Zhao Heng broke it cleanly.

Zhao Zhen has now picked it up again.

In order to maintain the face of his father, he knighted the eldest prince.

It can be regarded as a rule that his father has broken, and he has sewn it up, and it looks like it is no longer in tatters.

Zhao Ze is just a little doll who has just learned to speak, pink and tender, walking crookedly, and it seems that she can fall at any time.

Two grandmothers and two palace ladies stood around him, watching him giggle and run around in horror.

Zhao Ze's favorite thing to do is to chase Di Yong's hand and touch Su Shi's chubby belly together.

That is, Di Yong and Su Shi, two people who are close to him, can approach him.

When others approach him, he will hide.

Kou Ji let the three little guys play in the yard, sat at the door of the study by himself, looked at Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, Zhao Run, and Su Jingxian who were doing their homework in the study for a while, and looked at the three little guys playing outside the door for a while, which was very pleasant.

Since Kou Hui, the demon king of the mixed world, followed Zhao Xu to Huashan to worship immortals, Kou Ji's teaching days have been extremely leisurely.

After Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng and others returned to Beijing, the burden on Kou Ji was much lighter.

You don't have to lie between desks every day.

Ouyang Xiu and the others will cooperate with the heads of the ministries to properly handle the trivial matters of the ministries, leaving only some major matters and handing them over to Kou Ji for adjudication in the political affairs hall.

Kou Ji threw it to Zhao Zhen easily.

He is now helping Zhao Zhen take care of the children, and Zhao Zhen should be a little busier.

Now Ouyang Xiu and others are busy doing an inventory in various ministries, and the general direction of the imperial court is on the inventory.

It can be regarded as a thorough inventory of the government and the opposition.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen only needed to silently insert the laws that they had already revised into the process of their inventory.

In the process of clearing the world, some mistakes caused by outdated decrees had to be corrected, and the process of correction was a process of revising the law.

Whether it is Kou Ji or Zhao Zhen, the ultimate purpose of their revision of the law is to make the Great Song Dynasty strong.

The two of them do not seek fame or profit, so there is no need to publicize the matter of amending the law in a big way, making a fuss, and making trouble for themselves for no reason.

In Kou Ji's view, whether it is the Qingli New Deal presided over by Fan Zhongyan and others, or the reform presided over by Wang Anshi.

The early stage was too fierce.

For fear that others don't know that they are going to do great things, everyone in the government and the opposition knows it.

Tell everyone in the world clearly whose cake the court wants to move.

If people don't bother you, that's weird.

They always think that if they let out the words of righteousness, there will be countless righteous people in the world who will respond to them.

As everyone knows, there are only a few benevolent and righteous people.

It's more of a group of opponents who hate them for not dying.

Their biggest allies, the people, have little to say and no power in their hands.

They also don't seem to care much about the reaction of their allies.

They always stubbornly think that as long as what they do is beneficial to their allies, they only need to be obedient and don't need to speak up.

It is precisely because of this that their innovation is doomed to failure.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are different, they are wild when they should be wild, and they are silent when they should moisturize things.

The means of slapping a sweet date will never work.

This kind of thing should be done with great fanfare.

If there is no sweet date to give, it is necessary to moisturize things silently.

For example, the influence of the relatives of the Emperor of Reform on the Great Song Dynasty, after winning the battle, they were easily eradicated with the majesty brought by the victory.

and proclaim it to all the people of the world.

not only successfully eliminated the influence of the imperial relatives on the Great Song Dynasty, but also used the heads and wealth of the imperial relatives to gather a group of people's hearts.

The same is true for reforming business law.

He dealt with the businessmen among the officials with a heavy hand, and introduced generous business laws, beat the officials, and won over the businessmen, so that everyone in the world applauded, and the officials had no place to go out if they were angry.

For example, the criminal law innovation that the Criminal Department is now quietly implementing is a bit silent.

Beginning with Bao Zheng's request to change the regulations of Dengwen Drum, Bao Zheng was always able to find some legal flaws in some old cases, and invited Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji will be able to take advantage of the situation to push out the law that has been modified.

As long as there is no big movement, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty basically did not oppose it very strongly.

There are few people in the government and the opposition who make trouble.

For those who are involved in criminal law, Bao Zheng's small repertoire, Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji's small law modification, there is no way to arouse their hostility.

Although there is a little less possibility of making profits, for the sake of that little bit of fly leg money, it is impossible to fight Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji to the death.

What's more, this kind of thing is usually discussed in the court.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty agreed, who dare to say more about the people below?

To say more is to slap the face of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Can they make you feel better?

Bao Zheng will play one today, Wen Yanbo will play one tomorrow, and Ouyang Xiu will play one the day after tomorrow......

One by one, one by one, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, there is hardly any certainty.

As long as it doesn't bite someone else's sore spot, others don't feel pain at all.

It's like an ant eating an elephant, or a frog boiled in warm water.

It's a long process, though.

But the effect is better than ever, and it will not cause much backlash.

Occasionally, one or two people shouted that the ancestral system could not be changed, and before there was an uproar, they would be killed on the beach by the big waves of the Kou Party led by Kou Ji.

For example, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Bao Zheng and others are all fighters among fighters.

When they are unanimous with the outside world, they will not lose at all.

Su Xun can stalk his neck and gamble with people, and Bao Zheng can spray people with spittle stars.

Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu, the two people who could quote the scriptures and scold, hid their faces and fled.

Under the cover of their ferocious firepower, there was harmony between the government and the opposition.

The reason why Kou Ji cultivated them all, and got together and gathered in the court, is for this.

What can be felt by the government and the opposition now is a thriving vigor, not the twilight and laziness of the past.

What can be seen now by the government and the opposition are hot-blooded officials who are running for the country.

It's not the kind of official oil who ate and waited for death in the past.

Koji likes this kind of breath, so he won't interrupt it easily.

Zhao Zhen also likes this kind of atmosphere, so he was happy to add two princes to the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the heirs of the official family are gradually flourishing, there is no longer a problem that it is difficult for the heirs to arise during the reign of the first emperor.

The rumor of inviting Zhao Zhen to establish the crown prince as soon as possible temporarily dissipated a lot.

It's just that there are some people who still don't give up.

For example, Wang Zeng.

Wang had been running for the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and almost all of them were working hard to light lamps and boil oil.

So he ages quickly.

In just half a year, if he didn't pay attention, Wang Zeng's beard turned a snow-white, and he looked like an immortal when he put on a Taoist robe.

According to historical records, Wang Zeng died in the first year of Baoyuan.

According to the calculation of the Common Era, the first year of Baoyuan has already passed, and Wang Zeng not only did not die, but also lived for two more years.

It's just that he has worked hard for Da Song and has never rested, so he not only ages quickly, but his body is also soft.

Wang Zeng's stepson, Wang Yi, pushed the Kou bus and pushed Wang Zeng into the bamboo garden.

Wang Zeng lay down on the Kou bus and was drunk.

When Kou Ji's bus stopped in front of Kou Ji, Wang Zeng slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Kou Ji, and said angrily: "You kid hasn't been to the old man's mansion for a long time. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "I am busy with official business, and I have to teach students, so naturally I don't have much leisure. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji glanced at Wang Zeng and said: "It's you, who are not deaf, blind, and dexterous, why do you want to take the Kou bus?" ”

Wang Zeng sighed, "The legs and feet are smart, but there is no strength in the body." I get dizzy when I stand for a while, so it's better to sit. ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Not far from death?" ”

Wang Zeng smiled indifferently and said with a sigh: "I'm afraid it's ......."

Kou Ji's face changed.

In the past, he joked with Wang Zeng, and Wang Zeng would defend him for a long time.

Now he doesn't defend a word, but Kou Ji is a little flustered.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "You are only sixty-three, much younger than the Chen family brothers, and younger than my grandfather, Li Gong and others. None of them died, how dare you die? ”

Wang Zeng smiled and sighed: "When they were about to die, they sprinkled their blood in the north and south of the great river of our Great Song Dynasty, and they barely survived by virtue of the virtue of the earth."

The old man is different, the old man's blood has long been dedicated to the court.

Now it's at the point where the oil is running out.

You see that the old man is not sick or in pain, but in fact, his body is already empty.

Last year, when I was in Anmin, Yingzhou, I fainted twice.

I didn't dare to let people tell you, for fear that you would be angry with others and bury those people in Yingzhou alive.

Now sitting in front of you, I can rest assured that I can tell you boldly. ”
