The two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong were very kind and generous to the people.

Often when there is a voice from the people, Taizu Taizong will immediately conform to the will of the people and make adjustments to the government.

After Zhenzong Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne, when dealing with the voices of the people, he often imitated the practice of Taizu Taizong.

Therefore, the people in Bianjing City have voiced their voices, and the imperial court has always attached great importance to them.

This time, the people blocked the mansions of the officials, clamoring for the officials to punish the demons, and the officials also attached great importance to this matter.

They gathered together in groups of three or five to run for the removal of Liu E.

They also got together from time to time, wrote to the inner court, and even gave repeated admonitions in the court.

However, Liu E was guarding the spirit of the first emperor, and no matter how loud their voices were, they couldn't make much difference.

As long as Liu E does not leave the Daqing Hall and does not appear in the Vertical Arch Palace, the officials impeached her and fell into the inner court.

With Liu E's current status, the officials have no other way than to impeach her and let her ask her to remove her from the posterior.

Unless they can follow Zhou Huaizheng's example and have another rebellion.

But before Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion, it sounded an alarm for the imperial court, and Kou Zhun redeployed the defense in Bianjing City after the chief regent.

and transferred his henchman Zhu Neng to serve as the guard general of the imperial city.

Zhu Nengke is a battle-hardened general, far from being comparable to those generals who guarded the imperial city before.

With Zhu Neng guarding the imperial city, let alone bringing 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack, even if there are 50,000 more, Zhu Neng can still hold it.

He fought for many years in the northwestern frontier, and his best skills were defensive warfare.

It is useless for hundreds of officials to impeach Liu E, and it is impossible to follow Zhou Huaizheng's example.

But they didn't stop because of this, but ran more jubilantly.

They not only wrote a letter to impeach Liu E, but also sent letters outside the capital, pulling those classmates who served as local officials outside the capital to impeach Liu E together.

For a while, the officials gathered into a wave, and wave after wave slapped towards Liu E.

Just wait for Liu E to end the wake for the first emperor, the biggest wave will surging towards her.

Time flies.

Forty-nine days have passed.

Inside the Daqing Palace.

Liu E watched the eunuchs help Zhao Heng put on the new imperial coffin, and after admiring Zhao Heng's cold appearance, Liu E asked the coffin lid to be closed, and led Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji and others to bow three times and bow nine times to Zhao Heng's coffin.

After the salute, Liu E took Zhao Zhen and walked outside the hall.

When she reached the entrance of the temple, she hesitated.

She stood at the door of the hall, stunned for a long time, and finally slowly crossed the threshold of the Daqing Hall under the reminder of Concubine Yang.

Kou Ji was behind her, witnessing her hesitation at the entrance of the temple.

He could probably guess why Liu E hesitated.

Liu E was in the Daqing Palace, hiding in silence for forty-nine days.

From the end of summer, until late autumn.

Now that she can't hide anymore, she has to go out to face the stormy waves that the officials have prepared for her for forty-nine days.

After Kou Ji waited for Liu E and the others to leave, he turned around and bowed to Zhao Heng's coffin, and then withdrew from the Daqing Palace.

Out of the temple gate, Kou Ji took a deep breath.

After staying in the temple for forty-nine days, Kou Ji dared to take a big breath for the first seven days, but on the eighth day, Kou Ji didn't dare to take a big breath.

Although Zhao Heng's body has been embalmed, from the eighth day, there is still a faint smell of corpses.

Kou Ji didn't like the smell of corpses very much, he smelled so much that he couldn't even eat.

That is, from the eighth day, Kou Ji never secretly snatched the meat in Zhao Zhen's hand to eat, but exchanged his own meat with Zhao Zhen for vegetable cakes to eat.

After eating vegetable cakes for more than 40 days, Kou Ji's whole person lost weight and was unkempt.

Kou Ji stood at the gate of the Daqing Hall for a long time before he took a step and walked out.

After taking two steps, one stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Be careful......

Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared by Kou Ji's side and held him.

Kou Ji held Chen Lin's hand and said with a wry smile: "I've been kneeling for a long time, my legs don't have smooth blood veins, just walk around more." ”

Chen Lin nodded slowly, "Our family knows ......"

Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin and said seriously, "I hate you more and more." ”

Chen Lin rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Why does Kou Ji hate Chen Lin, Chen Lin knows it in his heart.

From the eighth day of the wake, Liu E, Concubine Yang, Concubine Li and others all had eunuchs and palace laves, and secretly sent them something to eat.

Zhao Zhen also has it, and the one who is responsible for delivering food to Zhao Zhen is Chen Lin.

Kou Ji has seen many times that Chen Lin secretly gave Zhao Zhen eggs, rice porridge, meat soup and other food.

Zhao Zhen had the intention to share it with Kou Ji, but was stopped by Chen Lin, the dead eunuch.

Kou Ji felt that this dead eunuch was deliberate, he could have prepared an extra one and shared the profits with Kou Ji, but he didn't prepare.

That's why Kou Ji hates him.

Chen Lin helped Kou Ji out of the palace group of Daqing Palace, and when he arrived at the palace group adjacent to the Donghua Gate, he let go of the hand that was holding Kou Ji.

"We won't send you out......"

Chen Lin withdrew his hand, hugged it in his arms, and said a word without saltiness.

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Chen Lin looked at Kou Ji's back and reminded in a low voice: "When you go out of the palace gate, don't take a car, don't take a sedan chair, and don't find a nearby place to wash." Just go back unkempt, if you can swagger through the market, you can swagger through the market. ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "I don't need you to remind me, I'm not stupid." ”

Chen Lin asked him to go unkempt to show off the market, what was the intention, Kou Ji knew very well in his heart.

Kou Ji knelt in the palace for forty-nine days, and the people in the palace could see his filial piety to the first emperor, but the people outside the city could not see it.

Chen Lin asked him to go to the market unkempt, just to let the people see Kou Ji's filial piety to the first emperor.

The people saw Kou Ji's filial piety to the first emperor, and naturally helped Kou Ji become famous.

Once Kou Ji's filial piety to the first emperor became famous all over the world, then his position in the officialdom was as stable as Mount Tai.

Even if Kou Zhun fell later, Liu E took power, and if he wanted to move Kou Ji, he had to ask the people if they agreed.

Kou Ji waved his hand at Chen Lin and left the palace in a step.

As soon as he left the palace gate, he heard a quarrel.

"Let me go, I'm here to pick up my fourth brother."

"The palace is important, and idlers are not allowed to trespass."

"I have a waist card to enter the palace, why don't you let me in."

"No one can enter without Kou Xiang's order. Step back, take a step forward, and I'll cut you. ”

"If you have the guts, you will cut it!"

“……”

With the sound of quarrels, Kou Ji appeared outside the Donghua Gate.

As soon as I went out, I saw a big and a small, two figures, colliding together, you pushed me, and they didn't let each other.

"You're in ...... Do what? ”

Kou Ji stared at the two figures, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Liu Heng was overjoyed when he heard Kou Ji's voice, and he shouted loudly: "Fourth brother, I'll pick you up, this guy won't let me in." ”

Zhu Neng, who was blocking Liu Heng, slowly turned around and laughed: "Big nephew, are you out?" ”

Kou Ji arched his hand to Zhu Neng and said, "Uncle Zhu, why did you get into trouble with Liu Heng." ”

Zhu Neng rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "As soon as your brother appeared, Zhu noticed that he was armed with martial arts, and he had a temptation in his heart. Zhu partnered with him and thought he was good at martial arts.

If it is handed over to Zhu for training, he will definitely be a fierce general on the battlefield in the future. ”

When Liu Heng heard Zhu Neng's words, he snorted coldly and said, "You still have a little eye." ”

Zhu Neng smiled indifferently: "It's a pity that I was born in the wrong place, I'm afraid I won't be able to fall into Zhu's hands in this life." Plain blind piece of material. ”

Liu Heng was annoyed when he heard this, and he glared and shouted, "You ......"

Seeing that Zhu Neng and Liu Heng had a tendency to fight again, Kou Ji hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Liu Heng, don't make trouble, didn't you say to pick me up?" I'm in front of you now, and you still have the heart to quarrel with people. ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he snorted coldly at Zhu Neng: "Let you go this time, I must find you to compare and contrast with you next." ”

Zhu Neng was not polite, and said with a smile: "Accompany ...... at any time"

Liu Heng bypassed Zhu Neng and ran towards Kou Ji, but Zhu Neng didn't stop him this time.

Liu Heng ran in front of Kou Ji, glanced at Kou Ji up and down, and sighed: "The days of guarding the spirit are really not people's lives. Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight.

Let's go to Qingfang Pavilion, and my brother will set a table, let you eat and drink, and make up for the lost meat. ”

Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng and scolded angrily: "Are you crazy? What time is it, it's time for great mourning. During the mourning period, no fun is allowed. Now go to Qingfang Pavilion, aren't you looking for death? ”

Qingfang Pavilion is one of the best flower buildings in Bianjing City.

Koji had only heard of it, but hadn't been there.

After being reminded by Kou Ji, Liu Heng also knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly patted his mouth and said, "It's my brother who said the wrong thing, so how about we go to Fanlou?" ”

"What to do in the Fan Mansion of Laoshizi, you have to eat well, go to Zhu's mansion, Zhu's mansion is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas."

Zhu Neng interjected on the side.

He stared at Kou Ji and said, "Big nephew, don't you like to eat big insects?" Zhu recently hunted two more. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and sighed, "That thing is also rare, it's better to kill less." ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he glared at the copper bell with big eyes, and shouted: "How can that thing be killed less?" If you kill less, it will hurt people, and if you kill them all, you won't be able to harm people. ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

How did he want to refute Zhu Neng's words.

The big insect, that is, the tiger, is indeed a rare and protected animal in later generations, but in the Great Song Dynasty, it is just a pest for the disaster.

If it's a pest, it has to be removed.

This is Zhu Neng's logic.

Kou Ji couldn't change Zhu Neng's thinking, so he could only laugh dryly and excuse himself: "Another day...... Not suitable today. ”

Zhu Neng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Kou Ji up and down, seemed to think of something, and nodded slowly: "It's really not suitable today......

Kou Ji bowed his hand to Zhu Neng and led Liu Heng out of Donghua Gate.

As soon as he arrived on the street, he saw Liu Heng's group of followers, carrying a sedan chair and appearing in front of him.

Kou Ji didn't wait for Liu Heng to speak, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't sit in a sedan chair today, let them not follow." ”

Liu Heng said suspiciously: "Why? ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "If I sit in a sedan chair today, then I will kneel in vain for so many days." ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"I see......"

As soon as the words landed, he turned around and drove away his followers.

When his companions were about to go away, he rushed up again, grabbed one of them who was about his size, pulled off their coats, and draped them over himself.

Then he leaned in front of Kou Ji and said with a smile: "I'm dressed like this, that's right." ”

Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng dressed in simple gray clothes, smiled and nodded.

Subsequently, the two of them went around the streets of Bianjing City together.

When someone recognized Kou Ji and began to spread rumors about Kou Ji's filial piety, Kou Ji led Liu Heng back to Kou Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Kou Mansion, Kou Ji was also scared.

Half of the alley in front of the Kou Mansion was full of people.

Some of them held prayer posts, some held letters of recommendation, and some simply carried heavy gifts in front of Kou's mansion, asking to see Kou Zhun.

Liu Heng looked at the person giving gifts at the gate of Kou Mansion with a look of envy, "When, when will my Liu Mansion be so beautiful?" Among these people, there is not a single person below the sixth grade. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "If your Liu Mansion has such a situation, then your Liu Mansion will not be far from destroying the Gate." ”

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "That's right...... The door is different. ”

Kou Ji carefully looked at the crowd of gift-givers, shook his head and said, "Let's go...... Go to the back door. ”

The front of Kou's mansion was full of people, and Kou Ji couldn't squeeze through.

If he wants to reveal his identity, he can pass, but these people will definitely entangle him.

Kou Ji led Liu Heng to the back door of Kou's mansion.

When I looked up, the back door was also full of people.

Kou Ji didn't say a word, and led Liu Heng to the location of the secret door.

He was also not afraid to expose the secret door of the Kou Mansion to Liu Heng.

Because he knew that Liu Heng would not harm him.

If Liu Heng really wants to harm him, he doesn't need to make a fuss about the secret door of Kou Mansion.

Kou Ji arrived at the secret door and knocked on it.

Soon there was a knock at the door.

It was like a secret signal, and it took three times before the secret door slowly opened.

Kou Zhong's old face was revealed.

"Little master, are you back......"

Kou Zhong was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Heng standing next to Kou Ji, but he didn't say much.

He greeted Kou Ji into the mansion and said with a smile: "The old servant counted the days, knowing that you are out of the palace today, young master, and also knowing that you can't go through the front and back doors, so I have been waiting for you here." ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "Have a heart......

Kou Zhong took Kou Ji and Liu Heng to the gate of Sijun Garden.

Kou Ji instructed: "Go and boil some hot water, I want to wash up well, and then let the kitchen prepare a table of sumptuous wine and food, I want to eat a good meal." ”

Kou Zhong was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Little young master, you haven't eaten oil and water in the palace for a long time, and suddenly eating big fish and meat is easy to hurt your stomach." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I can't care so much, go quickly." ”

Kou Zhong hesitated, but nodded, ready to leave.

Kou Ji stepped into the Four Monarchs Garden, and as soon as he walked under the Moon Gate, he heard a burst of laughter.

Thinking he was hallucinating, he listened carefully for a while.

Kou Ji hurriedly called out to Kou Zhong and asked, "How can there be a woman in my garden?" ”
