Following.

The sun is shining.

On the vertical arch hall, Zhao Zhen sat on the chair, listening to the courtiers below arguing about the king, he rubbed his eyebrows with a slight headache.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to drive the courtiers out of the Vertical Arch Palace, he saw Chen Lin quietly approaching him and whispered in his ear.

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, looking at the courtiers who were arguing below, the smile on his face was even stronger, as if something interesting was about to happen.

It's just that what is fun for him is not so fun for the courtiers.

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai saw that the expression on Zhao Zhen's face changed, and there was a hint of playfulness in their smiles, so they secretly guessed whether Zhao Zhen had thought of some bad ideas and planned to punish the courtiers.

Just when the two of them were secretly guessing.

Outside the Donghua Gate.

The two old guys took the servants and rushed to the Donghua Gate.

After the royal guards in front of Donghua Gate saw them, their expressions were upright and they stood straight.

Seeing that the two old guys were getting closer and closer, the guards took the initiative to get out of the way of the Jinshui Bridge they were guarding, ready to let the two old guys pass.

It's just that the two old guys walked to the head of the Jinshui Bridge and suddenly stopped.

Kou Zhun glanced at the palace and asked the royal guards standing on the head of the Jinshui Bridge, "You haven't gone down to the court yet, have you?" ”

The guards of the Imperial Forest heard Kou Zhun's question, and just finished standing guard, bowed down to Kou Zhun and Cao Wei and saluted, "If you go back to Kou Gong, you haven't gone down yet." ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, a flash of joy flashed on his face, and he turned his head sideways to Cao Wei, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, and said, "We're not late......"

Cao Wei nodded his head imperceptibly.

It's not that Cao Wei is posing in front of Kou Zhun, but Cao Wei has now reached the point where he is dying, standing and walking requires a lot of strength, and he will be out of breath when he speaks, and he can't speak clearly, so he can talk less, so he can talk less.

Kou Zhun knew Cao Wei's situation, so he didn't say anything.

If someone else treats Kou Zhun with such an attitude, Kou Zhun can go up and smoke him with two big ear scrapers.

"Quick...... Bring the old man and Cao Wei's things......"

Kou Zhun greeted.

The entourage carried the rocking chairs, and in the stunned eyes of the royal guards on the Jinshui Bridge, they placed the rocking chairs at the head of the Jinshui Bridge, covered them with delicate and soft animal skins, and bowed down to stand aside.

Kou Zhun laughed and walked into the rocking chair and beckoned.

The attendants were given a halberd.

Kou Zhun hugged the halberd and went to the rocking chair, basking in the sun very comfortably.

Cao Wei also lay down in his rocking chair, holding his own halberd, and basking in the sun.

One article and one martial arts, two bigwigs who used to be extremely popular ministers, one left and one right, went to the Jinshui Bridge, and the scene was very weird.

There is a way that those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.

The two bigwigs are obviously not idle and have nothing to do, so they came here to have fun.

It's definitely here to find fault.

What specific fault is to find, the royal guards guarding the Jinshui Bridge dare not ask, let alone say.

Although they have a special mission, they can use some special privileges when necessary.

But their privileges are of no use to these two bigwigs.

Because of their status and merits, he just lay on the vertical arch hall, and no one would complain.

Not only did the guards not dare to ask or say, but they also had to stand in the strongest place in the sun to block some dazzling sunlight for the two big guys to prevent them from getting too much heat stroke.

Not long after the two bigwigs lay at the head of the Jinshui Bridge, the court meeting dispersed.

The officials went out of the vertical arch hall in twos and threes, and gathered together in groups of three or five, while walking towards the Donghua Gate, while discussing the government and politics.

"The official family didn't get angry today, and didn't kick us out when we were talking about the king......

"Is the official family persuaded by us and ready to listen to our advice?"

"It's possible that it may ......"

“……”

Zhao Zhen's abnormal behavior today was misinterpreted by the courtiers.

The courtiers couldn't figure out Zhao Zhen's vein, but Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai, two people who often accompanied Zhao Zhen to discuss politics, knew Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen did not get angry with the courtiers today, not because Zhao Zhen adopted the advice of the courtiers.

There must be bigger troubles waiting for the courtiers, so Zhao Zhen generously and mercifully let them go.

While walking outside the imperial city, Lu Yijian whispered to Zhang Zhibai: "What method do you think the official family will use to rectify the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Zhibai groaned: "It doesn't have to be an official ......"

Lu Yijian said unexpectedly: "In addition to the official family, who else can suppress the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Zhibai glanced at Lu Yijian and reminded, "Have you forgotten Cao Wei and Kou Gong?" ”

Lu Yijian was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "They don't just ask about political affairs. ”

Zhang Zhibai said faintly: "But asking about political affairs does not mean that the two of them cannot embarrass the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

Lu Yijian thought about it and said: "There are many old protégés of Kou Zhun, plus his grandson Kou Ji is a powerful person, even if he leaves the center, there are many people who are willing to run for him.

I don't think it's strange that he can embarrass the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

But why did Cao Wei embarrass the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military?

He is a meritorious person, but the court is not a place to go wild with meritorious deeds.

He relied on his identity to suppress the military ministers, but it was okay.

But we Wenchen don't buy his account. ”

Zhang Zhibai sighed and said a little helplessly: "If he is a vigorous martial minister, we are not afraid." The point is that he's now on the verge of death.

He has made great contributions to my Great Song Dynasty, and now the government and the opposition are spreading his reputation for being good at fighting.

The official family even planned to make an exception to give him a prince with a different surname when he was alive.

Such a character suddenly falls in your arms, or falls in front of you.

How many clan heads do you have to take out to calm the anger of everyone in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, her pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of fear actually rose in her heart.

With Cao Wei's current achievements, if he really falls in front of someone, or falls into someone's arms, then the fun will be great.

At that time, Zhao Zhen must kill a person and give an explanation to everyone in the government and the opposition.

If murder can't calm down the matter, Zhao Zhen will even have to make an edict for himself.

Lu Yijian thought about it for a while, if Cao Wei fell into his arms, then his identity as a subordinate of the Tongzhong Shumen would not be enough.

Just the nephew of the Cao family and the daughter of the Cao family who went out are not something that he can suppress with the identity of Pingzhangshi under the Zhongshu family.

Not to mention Cao Wei's old department, which has been operating for many years.

If Cao Wei was really humiliated to death by Wenchen, Cao Wei's old subordinates would dare to rebel.

Since you don't treat our warriors as human beings, then our warriors can only turn you into a dead person.

In the history books, when Han Qi used it in front of Di Qing, he was majestic and domineering.

shouted out the sentence 'Donghuamen is the big husband' in public, which affected the Song Dynasty for a hundred years.

But he dared to kill Jiao Yong, bullied Di Qing Zhongyong, and would not break with him.

You let him kill Di Qing.

If he dares to kill Di Qing, Di Qing's subordinates will dare to rebel.

No matter what era it is, the officers and men in the army worship the capable generals in the army very much.

Once they have recognized the Lord, they dare to do anything for the Lord.

Therefore, if Cao Wei falls into someone's arms, the whole family will be unlucky.

Therefore, Cao Wei can't be messed with.

Cao Wei can't be provoked, and the other can't be provoked.

The other is almost eighty years old, and although his body is okay, no one can guarantee that he will not be suddenly killed by popularity.

If he was suddenly killed by anger, the entire Great Song Dynasty would be blown up.

At that time, the heads of the whole family will not be able to calm down this matter, and the heads of ten families and eight families will have to settle the matter.

If his grandson took the opportunity to cause an accident and entered Bianjing City in the name of avenging his grandfather.

There were more people who died.

If you don't know it, the Great Song Dynasty will have to be buried with you.

So the other one can't be messed with.

You can't say a word of weight.

If you say it, you have to be sprayed.

"If Cao Wei and Kou Zhun really embarrass us, we can only watch and do nothing."

Lu Yijian sighed a little speechlessly.

Others do the same Zhongshu menxia Pingzhang things, it is majestic, who wants to press whom, who wants to scold whom.

He did the same thing as the middle school, and there was a group of ancestors sitting on his head, and they couldn't be provoked by one of them.

He felt aggrieved.

After Lu Yijian sighed, he asked Zhang Zhibai, "The two of them shouldn't be confused, right?" ”

Zhang Zhibai pouted and said, "Even if they come to the past, who can do anything with them?" Even if they break into our house, occupy our house, and block our door, we will have to eat and drink well.

Even if the official family is invited to come forward, the official family will only persuade him with good words.

If they refuse to go, no one will be able to tell. ”

Lu Yijian frowned and said: "The official family is the respect of the emperor, how can they let it be manipulated." ”

Zhang Zhibai said speechlessly: "The official family can't wait to see us digest it." How can they offend both of them for our sake? ”

Lu Yijian was a little speechless.

After being silent for a long time, Lu Yijian stared at Zhang Zhibai and asked, "How can you be sure that those two old guys will definitely embarrass us?"

Why didn't the officials deal with us in a way? ”

Zhang Zhibai rolled his eyes and said, "Give Cao Wei the king, but the official family proposed it himself." Among the courtiers, there were five adults who asked Cao Wei to be crowned king, which was in line with the thoughts of the official family.

The official family was only dissatisfied with the courtiers' ill intentions and asked Kou Ji to be crowned king.

Before the official family did not give Cao Wei the title of king, it was impossible for him to use a method to calm down the heated discussion of the king.

At present, most of the disputes in the court are instigated by the officials.

If the official really ordered that the courtiers should not be allowed to discuss this matter again, who would dare to disobey it?

Therefore, even if the officials want to use methods to deal with people, they will only deal with some of us, not all of us.

When we first went down to court, the official looked at us with the wrong eyes, and he looked at all of us with a gloating look.

This shows that we are all in trouble.

At this time, the only people who can make trouble for us are Kou Gong and Cao Wei. ”

After listening to Zhang Zhibai's analysis, Lu Yijian gritted his teeth, "Then let's hide after we leave the palace." We can afford to mess with those two old guys, but we can't afford the consequences, so it's better not to meet. ”

Zhang Zhibai nodded approvingly.

At this time, it is necessary to pursue the advantages and avoid the disadvantages.

You can't be hard-headed.

If you are tough, not only will you not get any benefits, but you will also be prone to get into trouble.

The courtiers talked and laughed out of Donghua Gate.

As soon as I got out of Donghua Gate, I saw two figures outside Donghua Gate and Jinshui Bridgehead.

The courtiers looked at each other, and almost all of them could see that Cao Wei and Kou Zhun were sitting at the head of the Jinshui Bridge, obviously not good.

The courtiers looked at each other, and not a single one dared to cross the bridge.

After Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai arrived, the courtiers instantly surrounded the two of them.

Chen Yaozuo, the head of the household, said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiang and Zhang Xiang, I'm afraid these two are not good. ”

Lu Yijian's face was a little ugly and said, "Everyone can see it." ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai were still talking about avoiding the two of them just now, but they didn't expect the two of them to appear so soon and block the head of Jinshui Bridge.

There is a posture that embarrasses whoever crosses the bridge.

"What now?"

Someone frowned and asked.

Someone muttered dissatisfiedly, "Relying on the old and selling the old, it's too mushy." ”

Lu Yijian turned around and glared fiercely at the guy who was telling the truth.

The man hurriedly shut his mouth.

If you really want to offend Cao Wei and Kou Zhun to death, then Cao Wei and Kou Zhun will dare to play them to death.

Lu Yijian said with a gloomy face: "Let you not stare at Cao Wei and Kou Ji, you have to listen." With Cao Wei's merits, what about being crowned a king?

He is already dying, can he threaten you and me and the court with the deepening of the prince?

Also, the official family only gave Cao Wei the title of king, but did not say that he would make Kou Ji the king, what are you doing involved with Kou Ji?

When people are really on the border, they have nothing to do with you?

The family had a grandfather who was twice the chief regent.

When your grandfather was a great man, some of you had not yet entered the public service. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "When Kou Laoxi used a knife to kill people, none of the officials in the government and the opposition could bear it. ”

After Lu Yijian finished speaking, some people had ugly faces and were silent.

Others disagree.

"Lu Xiang, my Great Song Dynasty does not allow the appearance of a living king with a different surname, this is the ancestral system. This case cannot be opened, once it is opened, I don't know how many kings with different surnames will emerge in the future.

When the time comes, the king with a different surname in the Manchu Dynasty, how can you and I have the right to speak.

At that time, the king with a different surname will replace the former imperial relatives and generals, and become the new evil of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, this example cannot be opened.

As for the invitation to be crowned king of Kou Ji, it was also for the sake of the imperial court.

Kou Ji's current credit has reached the point where it is unsealable.

It is necessary for us to be the king of Kou Ji to wake up the official family and the world.

If Kou Ji is interested, he should take the initiative to retire after the class teacher returns to the court.

In this way, it is good for the court, for the officials, for him, and for us. ”

A royal history is the color road.

His meaning is very simple, there must be no living king with a different surname in the imperial court.

The invitation to be crowned king for Kou Ji is just to remind Zhao Zhen and remind the world that Kou Ji has reached the point of being a master.

If you continue to let Kou Ji stay in the court, sooner or later it will become a harm to the Great Song Dynasty.

Koji should retreat bravely, so it's good for everyone.

Lu Yijian, Zhang Zhibai and many others frowned together when they heard this.

Jia Changchao couldn't help but speak: "Kou Shumi is loyal to the official family. ”

The imperial history replied unceremoniously: "Cao Mengde was also loyal to the Han family at first, and Ding Wei was also a virtuous minister at the beginning. ”

Jia Chang stared at him vigorously.

Among the military ministers, Zhu Neng, who has been pretending to be dead in the court since returning to the court, suddenly spoke, "Do you dare to say this in front of Kou Shumi?" ”

Yushi raised his head and snorted coldly: "Why don't you dare!" ”

Zhu Neng sneered, "I respect you as a man, then you go and invite those two back." You are the one who caused the trouble, and we should not be allowed to suffer after you. ”

When Yu Shi heard this, he said angrily: "This matter is a matter for the imperial court, not our personal matter. ”

"Imperial Court?!"

Zhu Neng sneered: "Can you represent the imperial court?" Can you represent my warriors? Can you represent me in the Privy Council? You have the courage to go to my Privy Council and say your words again.

Believe it or not, my Privy Council slashed you with a thousand cuts. ”

Yushi said angrily: "Zhu Neng, you are presumptuous! ”

Zhu Neng said disdainfully: "Presumptuous?!" The only people who can represent my Privy Council are Privy Counsellor and the official family. My Privy Council is self-contained, and is not under your jurisdiction or discussion.

So you are in trouble, and it has nothing to do with my Privy Council.

So please solve the trouble you caused as soon as possible.

If it is because of the trouble you have caused that we are prevented from returning to the Privy Council, then you should bear the responsibility for the subsequent delay in the military aircraft. ”

Yu Shi is angry and wants to scold.

Zhu Neng didn't give him a chance, Zhu Neng continued: "The Privy Council is now coordinating the mobilization of nearly a million soldiers and horses, as well as food and grass, if someone is innocently killed because of the delay in the military aircraft, the Privy Council, the forbidden army, will ask you for an explanation."

This time, our Great Song Dynasty fought against the Black Khanate, Qingtang, and Liao, and there were countless military ministers who achieved great merit.

I believe that some of them will show their own merit for the death of your whole family out of pity for their subordinates. ”

Yushi's eyes widened, and he trembled with anger.

But he didn't say anything more.

Because there are some straight-minded people among the military ministers, they can really do the kind of things that Zhu Neng said.

There are also some people whose merits are so great that they are difficult to reward.

They shouldn't mind exchanging a portion of their credit for the life of the Imperial Historian.

Zhu Neng is not scaring him, if there is really a delay in the military plane, resulting in the death of a forbidden soldier, if someone is held accountable, someone must be responsible.

Punishments such as dismissal and dismissal from office, the soldiers of the forbidden army will not have any.

They would prefer to see the thief's head.

"Enough ......"

Lu Yijian frowned and shouted, "Haven't you had enough quarrels in the court?" Still arguing here? Now all we have to do is ask those two to leave. And not to quarrel here.

Looking at the posture of those two, they are obviously unwilling to give up.

If we continue to quarrel here, we may not even be able to get out of the palace gate today. ”

As soon as Lu Yijian's words came out, the courtiers fell silent.

Lu Yijian said by name: "Zhu Neng, you have a friendship with Kou Zhun again, and you are a military minister, and you can also talk to Cao Wei, you go and persuade them." ”

Zhu Neng snorted, and said nonchalantly: "I don't have such a big face......

Lu Yijian said unhappily: "Now is not the time to be angry, as a courtier, you should take care of the overall situation." ”

Zhu Neng squinted, stared at Lu Yijian, and said unceremoniously: "Is Lu Xiang teaching me to do things, or is he telling me to do things?" ”

Lu Yijian subconsciously glared, wanting to scold.

Zhu Neng continued: "If you teach me to do things, I don't want to hear it. If you tell me to do something, then ask Lu Xiang to take out the Privy Council's military seal.

My Privy Council is different from the rest of yours.

We are under the control of officials and privy councillors.

No matter how great the authority of other human rights is, they cannot control us. ”

Lu Yijian wanted to hit someone angrily for a moment.

He was also blinded by lard at the beginning, and he would actually approve of the independence of the Privy Council from other yamen in the imperial court.

Now the Privy Council is not under their control, and they cannot meddle in the affairs of the Privy Council, and the Privy Council people use this rule to manipulate him.

How could he not be angry.

"Wang Shu! You go! ”

Lu Yijian had no way to instruct Zhu Neng to do things, so he could only instruct Wang Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to persuade his father-in-law.

Wang Shu naturally couldn't be as tough as Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng is not afraid of Lu Yijian, because Lu Yijian is likely to not be able to control him for the rest of his life.

But Wang Shu couldn't be afraid, because Lu Yijian was his boss.

"Xiaguan go try ......"

Wang Shu bowed slightly and stepped onto the Jinshui Bridge.

When he walked to the bridge, Kou Zhun felt that someone was coming and shook the halberd in his hand.

Seeing that Kou Zhun seemed to be about to stop him with a halberd, Wang Shu hurriedly shouted.

"Father-in-law!"

Kou Zhun heard Wang Shu's shout, and the halberd in his hand was stunned.

Wang Shu came to Kou Zhun and saluted respectfully, "Father-in-law......"

Without waiting for Wang Shu to say the following, Kou Zhun waved his hand, "Go home by yourself, don't stand here and block the old man from basking in the sun." ”

Wang Shu hesitated for a moment, nodded, glanced back at the courtiers on the other side of the Jinshui Bridge, arched his hand slightly, and hurriedly left the Jinshui Bridge.

When the courtiers saw this, they looked at each other.

"What do you mean? put on a posture of stopping people, but let Wang Shu leave. Don't they want to stop people, they just want to be a door god? ”

Someone muttered something quietly.

Lu Yijian thought about it for a while, and instructed the imperial history who spoke just now, "You go ......"

Yushi hesitated, and Lu Yijian's eyes narrowed.

Seeing this, Yushi succumbed.

The imperial history went to the Jinshui Bridge and just walked to the head of the Jinshui Bridge.

"Bang Bang ......"

With two muffled sounds, the two halberds crossed and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yu Shi's cheeks blushed a little, "Kou Gong, Cao Wei, what are you two doing?" ”

Kou Zhun turned his head slightly, glanced at Yu Shi coldly, and his lips opened lightly, "Get out!" ”

Yushi shuddered and felt an unprecedented humiliation.

He gritted his teeth and trembled, and wanted to open his mouth to accuse Kou Zhun.

But under Kou Zhun's cold gaze, he didn't say a word.

Don't look at him fiercely in front of Lu Yijian and others.

In front of Kou Zhun, he really couldn't be fierce.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial history has rarely been convicted for words, and almost no one will provoke the upright imperial history, and there will be no sword and axe.

During the regency of the Kekou Zhun Chief, the most cut was the imperial history.
