Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji chatted in the side hall of the palace until the evening.

In the evening.

Xiao Huangmen once again brought a message into the side hall.

After listening to the news, Chen Lin quickly conveyed it to Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.

"The officials, Kou Xiang, and Lifu on the Bianshui Wharf, instigated by some people, went on strike and demonstrated. Thirty-six grain stores in Bianjing City have closed down......"

Zhao Zhen had a smile on his face, and he was on fire in his heart, and said to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother, you see, this is my courtier, I just asked them to stop it a little, and they treated me like this." ”

Kou Ji sighed in his heart, without words.

The generous treatment of the Great Song Dynasty has indeed made the officials of the Great Song Dynasty accustomed to it.

In other dynasties, when officials got the emperor's decree, they would embarrass the emperor, and they would take the lead in considering the consequences, and then use the posture of the lower to fight.

They fought against the emperor, not for victory, but for mercy.

They won, and it was the emperor's mercy.

If you lose, you will obediently admit punishment.

The Great Song Dynasty was different, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not think about the consequences at all.

If you say that you will embarrass the emperor, you will embarrass the emperor, and you don't think about the consequences of annoying the emperor in the future.

Today's Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao Zhen, who has absolute military power, an emperor who can add a martial character to the temple number, not the Zhao Zhen who only has benevolence in the history books.

If he is a killer, it is not the lives of one or two people that will make him stop.

Kou Ji could feel that Zhao Zhen was trying to restrain his killing intent.

Perhaps because he was influenced too much, Zhao Zhen prefers to do things in the same way as him now.

That's a quick knife to cut through the mess.

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji didn't speak, so he coldly instructed Chen Lin: "Let people watch carefully!" ”

Chen Lin agreed and went down to give the order.

Kou Ji sighed: "I don't know if I live or die......"

A good person, once he breeds evil thoughts, can do unimaginable evil things.

Even some wicked people are not necessarily as cruel as they are.

Zhao Zhen is undoubtedly a good person, but those officials who don't know whether they are alive or dead are teasing him and forcing him.

Kou Ji can be sure that Zhao Zhen has let go of his good thoughts, and he can kill everyone to the point of chilling.

Zhao Zhen in the history books, upholding good thoughts for most of his life, did many incredible things in his later years because he was childless and crazy.

For example, if you think that there is something wrong with the women in the palace, you will take them to the street to rob those married women who have given birth.

"The official family doesn't need to be annoyed, the official family has already prepared the means to deal with it, and it is naturally easy to clean them up."

Kou Ji softly persuaded.

Zhao Zhen took two deep breaths and calmed down his anger.

"I really shouldn't be angry, I don't know what I'm going to do when I'm angry."

"Let's see, see what they do."

Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen to sit in the palace for two days.

Zhao Zhen didn't care about the rules that foreign ministers were not allowed to stay in the palace, and forcibly left Kou Ji in the palace to accompany him.

Yushitai wrote twice for this, and was reprimanded twice by Zhao Zhenshen.

Kou Ji knew what Zhao Zhen had left him for.

In order for him to help suppress the anger in his heart.

After Zhao Zhen went crazy, he dared to do anything.

After his favorite lady Zhang died twice, he went crazy, and he wanted to give up the throne to Kou Ji at that time.

It was Kou Ji who woke him up with a slap.

Zhao Zhen knew in his heart that in today's Great Song Dynasty, only Kou Ji dared to whip him, and only Kou Ji could wake him up after he went crazy.

Two days.

All commerce in Bianjing City has entered a state of paralysis.

The doors of the few remaining royal mansions in Bianjing City were full of people, and they were begging at the door of the royal mansions one by one with broken bowls.

It's not like they can't really afford to eat.

They were just instigated by people with intentions to force Zhao Zhen to take back his life in this way.

The entrance of the temple was full of kneeling people.

The howl filled the entire Bianjing City.

In the palace.

There were two secret recitals in front of Zhao Zhen, and there was a long list of lists in the secret recital, Zhao Zhen looked at those lists, his eyes breathed fire, and his killing intent was difficult to control.

Those two lists are the officials who are making trouble behind the scenes investigated by the people of Wu Desi.

Kou Ji watched Zhao Zhen hovering on the verge of an outburst and let out a long sigh in his heart.

Chen Lin hurriedly entered the hall with small steps.

"The official family, the prime minister, and the king ask to see each other."

"Isn't he sick? Isn't he going to beg for bones? How can you still have the strength to enter the palace to find me? ”

“……”

Wang Zeng is a courtier that Zhao Zhen admires very much, and now Zhao Zhen has a grudge against Wang Zeng, which shows how angry Zhao Zhen is in his heart.

Chen Lin knew Zhao Zhen's temperament, he didn't dare to tease Zhao Zhen, he replied cautiously: "Someone went to the door of the prince to sell women, and the prince couldn't stand it, so he entered the palace and asked to see him." ”

"Who?"

"Dali Temple's Prison Division, Straight Qian Pingzhi......"

Chen Lin knew that Zhao Zhen was asking about the mastermind behind the scenes, so he decisively reported the name of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but looked at Kou Ji with burning eyes.

Seeing this, Kou Ji sighed, got up and said, "There are still important things in the minister's mansion, and I want to leave the palace for a few hours......"

Zhao Zhen said without hesitation: "The fourth brother has been working hard with me for two days, and he really should have a good rest." Chen Lin, you send someone to send the fourth brother home. ”

Kou Ji bowed and exited the hall.

Chen Lin ordered the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch immediately went out to see Kou Ji off.

As soon as Kou Ji left, Zhao Zhen said decisively: "If you like to sell women, then I will let him sell enough!" The evidence of his crime was handed over to the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the Imperial Forest Guard arrested him, dismissed the official and removed him from his post, raided his home, beheaded all the men, and all the female dependents were filled into the Teaching Department. ”

"Whoa!"

“……”

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, Kou Ji stepped out of the palace where Zhao Zhen was, and saw where Wang Zeng was standing a little desolate and begging to see Zhao Zhen.

When Wang Zeng saw Kou Ji, he immediately pounced.

"The people have begun to sell their sons and daughters!"

Wang Zeng yelled at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji stared at Wang Zeng calmly and said, "It's obvious that someone is instigating behind your back, you won't fail to see it." ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "The old man naturally knows that someone is instigating behind his back, but it is a fact that the people have had a hard time in the past two days. If it continues like this, there will definitely be deaths. ”

Kou Ji asked rhetorically, "So what do you want to do?" Let the officials be soft, or let me be soft? If the officials give in once, they will become even more violent. ”

"Loose ......"

"Loose?! You said lightly, you can be regarded as a person who has been up and down in the sea for decades. You should know that as long as the officials leak an opening to them, they can tear everything to shreds.

They have now become a cancer of my Great Song Dynasty, and if we don't eradicate them, we can only eradicate them by outsiders in the end.

At that time, outsiders will not only kill them, but also countless people.

The Han family fattened the family, and the family sat big, messing up the Han family.

The family fought, but in the end it was cheaper than the Hu people.

When the Hu people entered the Central Plains, the number of people who ate them in their mouths reached tens of millions.

Now indulge them to sit big, and wait for them to become a family.

When the time comes, the Great Song Dynasty will be in chaos.

How many people will outsiders kill when they settle in the Central Plains?

We kill outsiders without mercy, and you expect outsiders to kill us mercilessly? ”

Kou Ji pointed to the deep palace behind him, and said angrily: "The killing intent in the official's heart is no longer controllable, and his eyes are breathing fire." I pressed him for two days, and I didn't let him kill anyone.

But those things outside who don't know what to do are still teasing the officials.

Today, when the official family learned that someone was selling women in front of your door, they just glanced at me.

At just a glance, I could see that the killing intent in the official's heart was completely uncontrollable.

If I don't let him kill, we'll turn against him. ”

When the king heard this, he trembled with astonishment.

Kou Ji flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "They don't know whether they are alive or dead, then I can only let go of the official family and let the official family kill it well."

They like to go against the officials, so they should be prepared to bear the wrath of the officials. ”

After saying this, Kou Ji left Wang Zeng without any hesitation and walked outside the palace.

Wang Zeng pounced on Kou Ji with a frightened face, grabbed Kou Ji's sleeve, and said tremblingly: "You can't let the official family kill people!" ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "As for the teasing method of those group of things who don't know whether they are alive or dead, the official family will have to kill sooner or later." I can stop the official now, stop him from killing, and help him suppress the fire in his chest.

But when the fire in his chest formed a prairie fire, who could suppress it? ”

Wang Zeng stood trembling and could not say a word.

He knew Kouji was right.

Zhao Zhen has a fire in his heart, so he has to vent it all.

Otherwise, when the flames accumulate the momentum of the prairie fire, no one will be able to control it.

Kou Ji pulled his sleeve from Wang Zeng's hand and walked out of the palace.

Wang Zeng trembled and rushed towards the palace where Zhao Zhen was.

When Kou Ji left the palace gate, he saw the people of the capital, swaying through the streets like beggars.

They were dressed in tattered clothes and holding broken bowls in their hands, like a group of outcasts.

Kou Ji looked at them coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

When Kou Ji crossed the Jinshui Bridge and got into his carriage, he was immediately noticed by someone who cared about it.

"Kou Xiang is out!"

Someone shouted.

The people swarmed over and besieged Kouji's carriage tightly.

One by one, they shouted okay and asked Kou Ji to give them something to eat.

Kou Ji lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at everyone coldly, "Rumors and troubles, you should be punished!" I don't care who's behind you, get out of here! ”

After saying this, Kou Ji saw that everyone was unmoved, so he added coldly, "Don't forget, I'm the Xiangye who will come down soon." ”

"Why did Kou Xiang say this, the villain and the others were just forced to live by the decree of the imperial court, so they asked Kou Xiang for mercy and begged for a bite to eat.

What rumors and troubles have nothing to do with us. ”

“……”

Someone took the lead in shouting, and the others instantly shouted.

Kou Ji shouted coldly: "I have the protection of the Royal Forest, stop my frame, it is equivalent to rebellion, why don't you give way quickly?" ”

"The villain and the others just wanted to ask for Kou Xiang's grace and enjoy a bite of food, and they didn't stop Kou Xiang's frame."

“……”

Although some people in the crowd shouted this, they did not see the crowd get out of the way, but gathered more and more.

Kou Ji looked at them coldly, "If I kill one or two people, I'm afraid you will be so angry that you will overturn my carriage, and maybe you will beat me to death, right?" ”

No one answered Kou Ji's question, just begging for food around Kou Ji's carriage.

Kou Ji took several deep breaths and knocked on the carriage.

The leader of the Imperial Guard, who was responsible for escorting Koji, appeared at the side of Koji's carriage.

Kou Ji lightly ordered, "Go to the official's house, and say that I, Kou Ji, please transfer thirty-three arrows!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the face of the leader of the Imperial Forest Guard changed, but also the faces of the besieged people around him.

People elsewhere may not know what thirty-three arrows mean.

But the people of Bianjing City know.

The 33 arrows were an order to urgently mobilize two forbidden armies outside the city to enter Beijing after the reform of the military system.

Eleven arrows landed on the ground, and all the soldiers and horses in Beijing were on alert.

Twenty-two arrows landed, the five cities were sealed by soldiers and horses, and the forbidden army rushed to the city of Bianjing.

Thirty-three arrows landed, and the 100,000 forbidden army had to reach the imperial city.

The leader of the Imperial Forest Guard looked at Kou Ji in disbelief and said, "Kou Xiang......"

Kou Ji couldn't refuse: "Go!" ”

The leader of the Imperial Guard gritted his teeth and ordered the other brothers to guard Kou Ji, and he rode into the palace.

The people around Koji's carriage were a little flustered.

Someone saw this and shouted in the middle.

"Taizong and the first emperor said that the ministers of the court and the central government were not allowed to commit murder in Bianjing, he was just scaring us!"

"Yes, if you can carry it, you will have food, and if you can't bear it, everyone will have nothing to eat in the future!"

“……”

Kou Ji's eyes were very accurate to see the few people who were bewitching in the crowd.

The Guards also saw it.

"Kou Xiang......"

The guards wanted to ask Kou Ji if he wanted to arrest someone.

But Kou Ji raised his hand to stop it.

"If you act stupidly, you will pay the price!"

When the guards heard this, their hearts were filled with chills.

The people didn't know how ruthless Kou Ji was.

They are clear.

The people looked at Kou Ji as if he was a good man living in the Great Song Dynasty, but they didn't know that Kou Ji was out of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the living Yama.

Koji lowered the curtain of the carriage and let out a long sigh.

As a last resort, he was absolutely unwilling to put his sword soldiers on the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

If he takes a step back now, everyone will naturally be fine.

But if he retreats, only officials and wealthy families will benefit.

The people don't get the slightest benefit, and neither do the officials.

What's more, he's retired now.

When other decrees were followed, others would use the same method to persecute him.

In the end, he will achieve nothing.

The Great Song Dynasty will also maintain the status quo and continue to erode.

So he can't retreat.

There is no way to explain it to the people.

for the evil of the crowd will not make him speak, nor will the people believe him.

What's more, I am afraid that the people gathered here are all attached to the disciples of those who instigate them behind them.

In other words, even if he explained, the people believed and would not retreat.

Because the person behind them does not speak, they cannot retreat.

The policy of benefiting the people formulated by the imperial court for them is still far away.

And their rations for tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow are in the hands of others.

The leader of the Imperial Guard went quickly, and he came back quickly.

After coming back, he just arched his hand at Kou Ji without saying a word.

"Whoosh!"

A loud whistle sounded from above the imperial city.

The whistle was very sharp and spread far and wide, spreading all over Bianjing City, and also to the camps where the Tianwu and Zhuri armies were stationed.

Everyone in Bianjing City looked in the direction of the palace at the same time.

Many had frightened looks on their faces.

"Who is it? Official or Kou Ji? ”

"If the official family is okay, if the king of Kouyan is going to have a big incident, send someone out to investigate quickly."

“……”

Many eunuchs and wealthy families have sent stewards to investigate.

When eleven arrows landed on the imperial city.

The stewards have brought the news back to the mansions.

"It's Kou Xiang!"

"Mom! It was actually the king of Koyan, hurry up, call all the people in the house back, and tell his wife by the way, immediately sell all the business in the house, and no one can stay. ”

“……”

Such a scene is being staged all over Bianjing City.

Entrance to the Royal Palace.

Most of the people blocking Kou Ji dispersed in an instant, leaving only some with heels, and some who were bewitched by the blood.

Kou Ji sat in the carriage so calmly, without the slightest wave in his eyes.

A group of imperial guards rushed out of the Jinshui Bridge, holding the holy decree in their hands.

Koji ordered them to be stopped.

"Kou Xiang, the official family has an errand to hand over to the lowly people, and I ask Kou Xiang not to embarrass the lowly people."

Kou Ji stared at the imperial guard holding the holy decree, and said lightly: "The holy decree is handed over to me, and by the way, go to the official family to report to the official family, and let the official family hand over the list to me." ”

The imperial avant-garde who was ordered was embarrassed.

Kou Ji glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, the official family won't blame you." After all, it is necessary to kill people, and it is better for me to help the official family kill than to kill the official family directly. ”

The imperial avant-garde who was ordered hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said: "Go to meet the official family in person, and ask the official family to judge!" ”

Koji nodded.

A quarter of an hour passed for the time to speak.

Eleven more arrows burst into the air.

Outside Bianjing City, the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded in all directions.

In Bianjing City, Yang Wenguang, Chen Yaozhi and others straddled their horses and hurried to the Jinshui Bridge with their troops.

The people standing in front of Kou Ji dispersed in an instant, and in the end, only more than a hundred people remained.

After Yang Wenguang and Chen Yao arrived, they immediately ordered their troops to besiege the more than 100 people.

"Poof!"

Someone knelt on the ground in fright on the spot, shouting in horror, "Kou Xiangye spare his life!" ”

For a time, one by one, the besieged people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

In the end, only more than thirty people remained, trembling and struggling.

Koji didn't make sense of them.

Yang Wenguang and Chen Yaozhi stood by the side of Kou Ji's carriage on the left and right, and did not speak.

The royal avant-garde rode out of the palace and handed a list to Kou Ji with both hands.

Wang Zeng stumbled out of the palace, and when he reached the side of the Kouji carriage, he saw a man kneeling in front of the Kouji carriage.

Wang Zeng climbed Kou Ji's carriage, stared at his reddened eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Can you not use the soldiers and horses?" ”

Kou Ji said lightly: "The arrow has been sent out, is there a reason to take it back?" I am the King of Han, not the King of Zhou You, and I can't play the princes with the beacon fire. ”

The king shuddered, "It seems that the people have dispersed. ”

Kou Ji said calmly: "The military order is like a mountain! ”

Wang Zeng gritted his teeth in pain and begged: "Can those who beg for mercy give a way out!" ”

Koji frowned.

Wang Zeng clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, trembled, and roared in a low voice: "The old man has knelt down for you......"

When he had said this, he was about to kneel on the ground.

Resolutely.

Kou Ji almost jumped up, thanks to Chen Yaozhi, who grabbed Wang Zeng's collar and didn't let Wang Zeng kneel.

Seeing that Wang Zeng was already crying, Kou Ji sighed and shouted, "That's it, let's send the whole family!" ”

Wang Zeng bit his lip and hurled at Kou Ji.

Koji closed his eyes in pain.

Obviously, a group of thieves and ministers took advantage of the people to cause trouble, but they forced a loyal and good man to this role.

These thieves are damned.

"Whoosh!"

The twenty-third sound of arrows rang out.

The four gates of Bianjing City are opened.

The horse's hooves were like drumsticks, striking the ground and rumbling into Bianjing.

There was no one on the street, and Bianjing City was like an empty city.

Everyone in Bianjing City hid in their houses and shivered, and through the crack in the door, they watched the steel jungle whizz past them, sweating like rain.

The hearts of all the people in Bianjing City are like being held tightly by someone's hands.

As time goes on, the tighter and tighter it gets, making it breathless.

The thirty-third sound of the arrow landed.

100,000 tigers gathered at the gate of the imperial city.

Kou Ji lifted the curtain of the carriage, stood on the carriage, and looked at the Tianwu Army and the soldiers who supported the Japanese army lightly.

The Tianwu Army and the Japanese generals clasped their fists together and saluted Kou Ji.

The 100,000 soldiers behind him all bent down.

The people in front of the Koji carriage were frightened and urinated, and one collapsed to the ground, staring in horror.

"Lockdown!"

Kou Ji said lightly.

Yang Wenguang and Chen Yaozhi shouted in unison.

"Lockdown !!"

"Whoa!"

100,000 soldiers roared in unison, deafening.

Zhao Zhen in the imperial city heard the roar of 100,000 soldiers, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated, and he grinned, laughing more freely than ever.

The officials and the heads of wealthy families in Bianjing City who instigated the people behind their backs to make trouble were scared to death by this shout, and as many as ten people were scared to death.

Kou Ji faced 100,000 soldiers and flicked his sleeves slightly.

After 100,000 soldiers bowed down and saluted, they quickly rushed to all parts of Bianjing City in units of 100 people.

In the end, only 3,000 soldiers remained.

Kou Ji pointed to those who were paralyzed on the ground, with feces and urine coming out, and said lightly: "Open the knife!" ”

Two hundred royal guards rushed out and restrained the more than thirty people who had been targeting them to the ground.

Kou Ji flicked his sleeves and got into the carriage.

The guards raised their knives and beheaded more than 30 people.

Blood gushed out, staining everyone around them red.

The strange roar of madness resounded by the Jinshui Bridge in an instant.

Kou Ji flipped through the list given by Zhao Zhen, and lightly instructed the horseman sitting on the wheel, "Go to the Dali Temple Prison Si Zhiqian Pingzhi Mansion......

"Drive!"

The groom drove eastward on the deserted avenue.

Looking at the carriage alone, it was a little lonely.

But with three thousand iron armor and two hundred gold armor, it is majestic.

No one can forget this scene.

Anyone who hides in a house and looks out through the crack in the door will have hesitation, fear, timidity, and a hint of respect in his heart when he sees the carriage.
