"The old man and Lu Yijian have their own opinions on this matter, you don't need to ask more."

Li Di glanced at Kou Ji, pouted and said, "The old man also told you this for the sake of your kid's intimacy with the old man." No matter how much news there is, the old man can't tell you, in case you leak the news, the old man and Lu Yijian are afraid that they will never recover. ”

Kou Ji glared and said, "I'm going to leak the news?" ”

Li Di said indifferently: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and the old man has to keep a hand." ”

Although Kou Ji didn't know what medicine Li Di was selling in the gourd, he felt that Li Di and Lu Yijian's plan was like dancing on the tip of a knife, and if something went wrong, the two families would have to follow it.

"Grandpa Li, I still hope that you and Gong Lu can think about it more. Today's Great Song Dynasty is not the Western Han Dynasty of the past, and the internal affairs are different, and the methods of dealing with internal affairs are different.

Learning Huo Guang's method may not be able to solve the troubles of the Great Song Dynasty today.

Maybe it will even exacerbate the trouble. ”

Kou Ji persuaded from the bottom of his heart.

Li Di waved his hand and said indifferently: "The old man and Lu Yijian, naturally, it is impossible to learn from Huo Guang's methods. You don't need to say anything more. The old man has been in charge of government for many years, and I still need you to teach me how to govern? ”

Kou Ji had a stomach full of things to say, but Li Di said it to this point, and he couldn't continue to say anything.

Li Di and Lu Yijian have obviously made up their minds, and they have the momentum of not hitting the south wall and not looking back.

Although Kou Ji is in a high position as a chief official, he is still a junior in their eyes.

He is a junior, and it is difficult to persuade them to listen to him.

"That'...... I'll go home first...... Grandpa Li, do you need help...... Send someone to the house and tell me. ”

Kou Ji left this sentence, arched his hand, and exited the main hall of the Li Mansion Annex.

After Kou Ji went out, Li Di looked at the back of Kou Ji leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "Are you really an old man pinning all his hopes on Lu Yijian?"

Compared with Lu Yijian, the old man values you more.

It's just that your kid is too junior to convince the public.

A couple of us old guys just had to toss around.

Wait until a few of us old guys can't hold it anymore.

That's when you kid comes out and turns the tide. ”

What Li Di really thought in his heart, Kou Ji didn't know.

After Kou Ji left the Li Mansion Courtyard, he returned to Kou Mansion with a frown.

After returning to the house.

I saw Kou Zhun with his hands behind his back, instructing the servants in the house to pack up their things.

Seeing this, Kou Ji stepped forward and asked, "Grandfather, what is this doing?" ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said lightly: "The old man has been running between the mountains and the mountains all day long, and he can't bear it, so he plans to move to the mountains to live." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji again, saw Kou Ji's brows tightened, and frowned slightly: "Something?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Kou Zhun said lightly: "Are you worried about Li Di? ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "Li Gong is walking on the edge of the cliff now, and if he is not careful, he will be doomed." ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly, "The old man has heard something about the affairs in the court. Li Di's approach is indeed a bit more radical, but you don't have to worry too much. If Li Dizhen's life is in danger, the old man will personally come out to save his life.

As long as people live, even if they are defeated, they can still start all over again.

Life is like that, there are always ups and downs.

No one just rises and falls.

When the old man was in the court, there were also several ups and downs, so he had today's achievements. ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly, "That being said, I'm still worried that those who oppose it will take risks. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he pouted and said, "Have you ever seen a person who cuts flesh without bleeding?" ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "I naturally understand the truth, but I am not happy in my heart." ”

Kou Zhun rolled his eyes, "You're purely idle." ”

Kou Ji said again: "I just think it's ......"

"What do you think?"

Kou Zhun brutally interrupted Kou Ji's words, and snorted, "What do you think?" You're not an official, so you need to worry about so many things? You kid just worry too much about it, so you will ask for trouble.

You should learn from Xue Tian, learn what it means to not be in his position, not to seek his politics.

Not to mention that Li Di and Lu Yijian haven't started tossing yet.

Even if they start tossing, what does it have to do with you?

You are not involved in political affairs, nor are you in the same book.

Take care of the mess of your ministry, and then worry about others. ”

Kou Ji was a little speechless by Kou Zhun.

After a long time, he bowed down with tears and laughter.

"My grandson was taught ......"

Kou Zhun snorted again: "I'm really idle, so I'll go find a few concubines and give birth to a few more cubs for the old man." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned and said, "Yan'er is still pregnant, I went out to find other women, what do others think of me." ”

Kou Zhun said disdainfully: "The eldest husband should have three wives and four concubines, and if he doesn't marry ten or eight women into the house, he is not considered a big husband." You're not too young, what else is there besides a wife's room?

Look at those who are in the same palace as you, who doesn't have a dozen concubines at home? ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Why did Grandfather suddenly remember to tell me this?" ”

Kou Zhun pouted and said, "Your grandfather-in-law is not ashamed, and he is going to take a concubine again." ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

Xiang Minzhong wants to take a concubine?

Xiang Minzhong, who is half-dead, wants to take a concubine?

Kou Zhun ignored Kou Ji's consternation, pouted, and said nonchalantly: "A half-dead bad old man, thinking about other little girls all day long...... A young man in his twenties, with strong blood, but not greedy for sex...... It doesn't make sense......"

Kou Zhun shook his head and muttered as he left the place.

Leaving Kou Ji alone to stand in place.

Kou Ji was stunned for a long time, and after coming back to his senses, he hurried to the backyard.

found Xiang Yan, who was holding her stomach and watering the flowers.

"Yan'er, your grandfather wants to take a concubine?!"

Xiang Yan casually handed the wooden scoop in his hand to the maid beside him, looked at Kou Ji, and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

Kou Ji said in surprise: "I heard that Na is still a little girl!" ”

Xiang Yanhu looked at Kou Ji suspiciously, and said, "My grandfather will admit a girl into the mansion every year, what's so strange?" ”

The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched: "Your grandfather's body bones, can you do it?" ”

When Xiang Yan heard this, her pretty face turned red, she took a sip, and said coquettishly: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't criticize the elders." ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly, "I'm just curious......"

Xiang Yan glared at Kou Ji, as if she had thought of something, and stared at Kou Ji and said, "Why does Xianggong care so much about this?" ”

Kou Ji did not doubt him, and said frankly: "It's just curiosity......"

Xiang Yan glanced at Kou Ji twice, and said with a smile: "Xianggong also wants to take a concubine?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned.

I didn't expect Xiang Yan to think so.

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no......"

Xiang Yan said with a smile: "If the princess can't find a suitable one for a while, the concubine can let the maid who marries go to the minister's house to serve first." When the concubine gives birth to a child, she will go to help the princess find a concubine. ”

Kou Ji's eyes narrowed, "Nonsense...... I'm not that kind of person......"

Xiang Yan smiled and said: "The concubine is not a jealous woman, and the princess just has to say that he wants to take a concubine." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and went back to the room.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan covered her mouth and laughed.

A few days after that.

Xiang Yan really helped Kou Ji set up a concubine.

even deliberately let the two big girls who followed her go to Kou Ji's room at night to serve Kou Ji.

Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry at this.

He refused many times and politely rejected Xiang Yan's kindness.

accompanied Xiang Yan to stay in the house for a few days and said a lot of words, before he dispelled Xiang Yan's desire to help him take a concubine.

Kou Ji accompanied Xiang Yan in the house, and the husband and wife were happy and happy.

But inside and outside Bianjing City, it is boiling like water.

I don't know what Li Di, Lu Yijian and Zhao Zhen said.

Zhao Zhen finally withstood the pressure, agreed to Li Di's invitation, and handed over all the matters to Li Di for full disposal.

Li Di was in power, and immediately began to implement the decree to reduce the civil and military positions of the Manchu Dynasty.

The first to bear the brunt of the reduction of his post was Kou Zhun.

Most of the posts on Kou Zhun's head have been cut by half.

In the end, there is only one position and one lord left, which are the Taishi of Zhengyipin, and the first-class title of Zhenguo Gong.

Kou Zhun's income has been reduced by nearly sixty percent.

Many officials in Bianjing City expect Kou Zhun to stand up and clean up Li Di.

But Kou Zhun didn't say a word about this matter.

It seems that the court doesn't care if he doesn't pay him or not.

After Li Di reduced Kou Zhun's vacant positions, he began to reduce the vacant positions of other high-ranking officials who had resigned.

When it came to Xiang Minzhong's body.

Xiang Minzhong was extremely dissatisfied and let people carry him to Li Di's mansion to sprinkle it.

threatened that Li Di had reduced his false position, and the concubine he had just married could not afford to raise him, so he would give it to Li Di.

In the end, it was Kou Ji who came forward and walked to Minzhong.

However.

Some people's practices are more intense than Xiang Minzhong's.

A high-ranking official who retired from the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, after Li Di went down to the court, led the family and stopped Li Di.

They were dressed in tatters and holding broken bowls in their hands, blocking Li Di's carriage and asking Li Di for food.

There are also people who take their families to Li's mansion to eat and drink.

The impeachment of Li Di rolled into the court like snowflakes.

Li Di turned a deaf ear to this.

Let them make a fuss.

After cutting some of the vacant positions on those high-ranking officials who have resigned.

Li Di began to attack the civil and military personnel in the DPRK again.

First of all, it reduced the false position of the inner court Sanzai.

Then there is the Privy Council.

Six more.

Kou Ji's vacant position was reduced to only the powerful official Cao Shangshu and An Xingbo, two positions.

When Kou Ji got the paperwork of resignation.

Liu Heng hurried to the Koufu Courtyard.

As soon as you enter the door.

And he shouted.

"Fourth brother, something happened."

Kou Ji was helping Xiang Yan cook honey water to drink, and when he heard Liu Heng shouting, he asked someone to take over his affairs and took Liu Heng to the main hall.

After sitting down, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "Someone hanged himself at the gate of the Li Mansion. ”

Kou Ji frowned when he heard this.

"Li Mansion Courtyard, it's not far from me, I haven't seen any movement?"

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "It's the Li Mansion in Bianjing City." ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Isn't that mansion in Bianjing City already hung up in the tooth shop and sold?" ”

Liu Heng said: "That person is a silk merchant in Suzhou, who was threatened behind his back, and he had already returned the house to Li Gong a few days ago. ”

Kou Ji groaned, "Who is the person behind it?" ”

Liu Heng said solemnly: "The eldest princess of Deng Guo." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, "The fourth daughter of Taizong?!" ”

Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said suspiciously: "Duke Li hasn't made a move against the people of the royal family yet, why would the eldest princess of Deng Guo take action against Duke Li?" ”

Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "Gong Li dismissed his husband Chai Zongqing from the posts of Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Wucheng Army Jiedu Envoy, General Zuo Wei, Enzhou Assassin History, etc., and only left him the position of Governor of the Horse and the Governor of Shaanxi.

The eldest princess of Deng Guo, jealous and domineering, Li Gong dismissed Chai Zongqing's position, and the eldest princess of Deng Guo naturally wanted to help Chai Zongqing seek justice. ”

Koji frowned.

Chai Zongqing's position of Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhongshu Sect is different from Li Di's identity under the Pingzhangshi of the Tongzhongshu Sect.

Chai Zongqing's body is an additional official, a false position.

Li Di is a real job.

Chai Zongqing can have today's status thanks to his ancestors and his wife.

Among them, the ancestor is Chai Yuxi, the minister of Taizong's palace.

His wife is the eldest princess of Deng Guoda, the fourth daughter of Taizong.

Chai Zongqing has gone through three dynasties, and has been awarded many times by virtue of his ancestors and his wife.

The position is high, but the power is not heavy.

In the court, he is also a dispensable person.

led a bunch of sub-tribes all day long, and caused trouble everywhere.

With the blessing of the eldest princess of Deng Guo, she still lives a chic life.

The eldest princess of Deng Guo.

Koji had heard of it.

This person is jealous and has a very domineering personality.

Since she married Chai Zongqing, Chai Zongqing has not been in contact with other women.

All women who had an affair with Chai Zongqing, or who had the heart to climb Chai Zongqing, were all killed by her.

As a result, Chai Zongqing has no children so far.

There is only one daughter.

Although she was very harsh on Chai Zongqing, she also helped Chai Zongqing seek many benefits.

For example, many official positions on Chai Zongqing, such as the Chai family's huge family business now.

She relied on her identity to get it.

Now that Li Di has moved to her, she naturally wants to make a fight with Li Di.

Kou Ji frowned and said, "So she first forced the silk merchants in Suzhou to retreat from the mansion of the Li Mansion, and then forced others to go to the gate of the Li Mansion to hang herself?" ”

Liu Heng nodded, but shook his head again, and said, "She forced the silk merchants in Suzhou to retreat from the mansion of the Li Mansion. But the person hanging at the gate of the Li Mansion did not commit suicide. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? ”

Liu Heng said in a low voice: "I sent someone to check, and those people were first exhausted to death before they were hanged." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, "It's really domineering...... I really think that the country belongs to their family, so she can act recklessly?! ”

Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "She's the aunt of the official family......"

Kou Ji snorted coldly, "Who is the person who was hanged?" ”

Liu Heng said: "The former Enzhou Zhizhou family. ”
