A few days after that.

Liu Heng dispatched the men and horses of the Imperial City Division to secretly help the Tiger Army become famous.

Kou Ji ordered Zhao Zhen's dictation to go back and forth between the palace and the Huzi Army camp outside the city.

Zhao Zhen made a lot of money last year by borrowing a word Jiaozi shop, so when he rewarded the tiger army, he was particularly atmospheric.

In addition to adding officials to the generals of the Tiger Army, the soldiers of the Tiger Army were also rewarded with a lot of money.

Some soldiers who were injured or died of serious injuries were given preferential pensions.

In addition, a lot of wine and meat were also given to reward the tiger army.

Kou Ji took the money given by Zhao Zhen to the Tiger Army, and after arriving at the barracks of the Tiger Army, he accompanied the soldiers to celebrate for three days.

One by one, the pensions of the wounded and dead soldiers of the Tiger Army were distributed to each of them, or the money was sent to Baozhou through the post station of the imperial court and handed over to Chen Juntou, who patrolled the horse guard.

With Chen Juntou's character, he will inevitably send the bereavement of those soldiers who died of serious injuries to their families.

After rewarding the Tiger Army, it didn't take a few days.

The reputation of the Tiger Army, promoted by Liu Heng behind his back, began to spread outside Bianjing City.

It gradually spread to the entire territory of Kaifeng Prefecture, and began to spread rapidly to Jingzhao Mansion and other places.

The wood-carved armor of the same style of the Tiger Army also began to be sold in various places with the spread of the reputation of the Tiger Army.

The wood carved armor soldier of three cents is not expensive, the workmanship is fine, and once it is launched, it is sought after by the people.

Children like to hold carved wooden armor and soldiers, get together, form a military formation, and fight with each other.

Adults like to hold wooden carved armor and soldiers, as paperweights and decorations.

Just seven days.

The 30,000 wood-carved armor soldiers sent out from Kou Mansion were sold out.

Kou Ji had to gather the craftsmen in the mansion and the craftsmen in the Ruisheng Village outside the city to work day and night to continue to work as woodcarved armor soldiers.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan thought that Kou Ji was going to do a wood carving business.

deliberately ran to the study and asked Kou Ji.

"Xianggong, there is another business in the house?"

Kou Ji was holding the pen and was writing a letter, when he heard Xiang Yan's words, put down the pen, and asked, "You added it?" ”

"You ......"

"Me?"

Kou Ji looked puzzled.

Xiang Yanjiao said angrily: "It's the business of wood carving......

Kou Ji suddenly realized, continued to pick up the pen, and said with an indifferent smile as he wrote: "That's not a business...... I don't make a few bucks......"

Xiang Yan was stunned and said: "In just seven days, I made nearly 30,000 yuan, is it still not profitable?" ”

Kou Ji finished writing the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, and after stamping it with fire paint, he put away the letter and said with a smile: "If you think you want to make money, I will leave the wood carving matter to you in the future." ”

Xiang Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, "The concubine is going to incorporate the wood carving business into the business of the mansion and control it together." ”

After saying this, Xiang Yan walked out of Kou Ji's study and went straight to the courtyard where the craftsman in the mansion was.

Kou Ji looked at her departing back, shook his head and smiled.

The matter of making money from wood carving is not worth mentioning compared to what he is seeking.

So he only pays attention to the sales of wood carvings, and does not care about whether wood carvings make money.

Since Xiang Yan wants to do wood carving as a business, let her be.

As long as it doesn't affect his plan, he won't stop Xiang Yan from doing anything.

Kou Ji took the letter and walked out of the study, ready to go to Kou Zhong and send someone to deliver the letter.

As soon as I went out, I was hugged by a black and white, round guy.

Seeing the little guy hanging on his lap, staring at him with a pair of watery eyes.

Kou Ji tugged at the fur on the back of its neck, put it on his shoulder, and bent it out of the yard to find Kou Zhong.

"Send this letter to Baozhou as soon as possible......"

Kou Zhong took the letter and agreed.

As soon as he was about to leave, he saw the outer door steward of the house and hurried over.

The outer gate steward walked up to Kou Ji, bowed, and said, "Little young master, someone has come to the palace and summoned you to the palace." ”

Kou Zhong paused, stopping to listen.

Kou Ji casually dragged the little guy off his shoulder, hugged it in his arms, and asked suspiciously while stroking its fur, "What is the so-called?" ”

The steward of the outer gate bowed down and said: "According to the people from the palace, several officials from the Ministry of Rites, Taixue, and Guozijian jointly impeached you when they participated in the court meeting in the Vertical Arch Palace. ”

Kou Ji pulled the little guy who used his arm as a horizontal bar to play, raised his eyebrows, and muttered, "Impeach me? What to impeach me? ”

The steward of the outer gate said with a wry smile: "It is said that you are vigorously advocating martial arts in Bianjing City, which has affected the normal study of the students of Taixue and Guozijian. ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes when he heard this.

In order to suppress the martial style of the people, the imperial court exhausted all means, and the first emperor Zhao Heng also wrote a poem full of temptation for this.

Persuade people with lofty ideals in the world to read more.

Kou Ji helped the Tiger Army to become famous, and used the reputation of the Tiger Army to sell woodcarved armor soldiers.

There is a feeling of encouraging the people to enlist in the army and practice martial arts.

Presumably, some students in Taixue and Guozijian had the idea of abandoning their pen and joining Rong after seeing the Tiger Character Army become famous.

The careful Guozi Priest Wine and Taixue Sacrifice Wine must have discovered this matter.

That's why they jointly wrote a letter to impeach Kou Ji.

"Eat and support...... Whether the students are from Rong or participate in the field, that is the ambition of each person, they just teach knowledge obediently, and they want to control even the ideas of others......"

Kou Ji muttered disdainfully, and said to the outer door steward: "If you go and tell the people from the palace, they will say that I am sick and it is inconvenient to go to court." Then I sent someone to inform Wang Qinruo and told him that the time had come to repay my gambling debts. ”

When the steward of the outer gate heard this, he looked at Kou Ji in amazement, "The person sent to the palace to deliver the message, don't you need to say in detail?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "According to my original words, the rest doesn't need to be said. Wang Qinruo will naturally understand what I mean. ”

The steward of the outer gate nodded in depth, arched his hand, and exited the courtyard.

Kou Zhong pinched the letter, slowly moved to Kou Ji's side, and said in a deep voice: "Little young master, the palace can send someone to spread the word, indicating that there must be a lot of people who impeach you behind your back, you really don't want to go?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said boredly: "It's just some small tricks that Wang Qinruo instructed them to play, and now I start directly from Wang Qinruo, and their small tricks can't be quickly reined in?" ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong nodded.

Since Kou Ji is measured, then he doesn't need to say much.

Kou Zhong arched his hand and left the courtyard.

Kou Ji walked around the yard and took the little one on his arm to nibble on the bamboo.

As Kou Ji expected.

After he sent someone to deliver a message to Wang Qinruo, the voices in the court that impeached him disappeared in an instant.

If Wang Qinruo wants to continue to mix in the court, he will never play tricks on this kind of thing.

The palace never sent anyone to pass the word again, and Kou Ji didn't need to pay attention to those people anymore.

He stayed in the house for two more days.

The documents for Kou Li's transfer to Leizhou were sent to the government.

Kou Ji accompanied Xiang Yan, helped Kou Li pack his bags, and sent a team of guards to send him out of Bianjing City and go to Leizhou to take up his post.

The news of Kou Li's transfer to Leizhou spread throughout Bianjing City after he left Bianjing.

Eight Princes' Mansion.

Zhao Yuan was dressed in red, standing beside the coffee table with a blue face, and the porcelain bowl in his hand was slammed to the ground by him.

"Hateful!"

"Annoying!"

Zhao Yuanyan shouted angrily.

Wang Qinruo and Li Zheng, who were sitting on the left and right sides of his head, all sighed.

Li Yan gritted his teeth and said: "The ancestors and grandchildren of the Kou family are really difficult to deal with. We had just come up with a way to deal with them, and they were cut off in an instant. ”

Wang Qinruo stroked his beard and said to Li Zheng without being salty: "The old man has long said that your method of dealing with the ancestors and grandchildren of the Kou family through Kou Li does not work, and you still don't believe it. ”

Li Zheng said angrily: "My method is right, but it is Kou Zhun who is wrong." Who would have thought that Kou Zhun would be so ruthless, and his son would be sent to Leizhou to suffer. Whenever I change to a slightly better place, I can find a way to help Kou Li get enough credit and let him be quickly promoted to Bianjing City......"

Wang Qinruo snorted: "Kou Li is not Kou Zhun's biological child, with Kou Zhun's temperament, isn't it normal to treat Kou Li harshly?" ”

Li Yan frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you remind me before? ”

Wang Qinruo said unhappily: "The old man reminded you a lot, but you didn't listen to the old man at all." ”

"You ......"

"Bang!"

Li Yan was still arguing with Wang Qinruo, but Zhao Yuanyan slapped the table next to him angrily and roared: "Enough!" ”

Wang Qinruo and Li Zheng resolutely shut their mouths.

Zhao Yuanyan stared at Wang Qinruo and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that you can use the matter of Kou Ji selling wood carved armor soldiers to impeach Kou Ji and make Kou Ji lose control of the Tiger Army, so that we can take the opportunity to plot against the Tiger Army?"

Why is it that there is only one impeachment, and then there is no follow-up? ”

Wang Qinruo sighed and said, "When performing martial arts on the school field before, the old man had a bet with that kid, and the old man lost, so he owed that kid a bet.

The boy sent someone to the door to ask for a bet.

The old man can't be cheating, right?

If the old man even cheats on the casino, who will believe the old man in the future? ”

Zhao Yuanyan widened his eyes, stared at Wang Qinruo and said, "Then tell me, what should we do now?" The method of minting money has not been obtained, and the Tiger Army has no way to plan for the time being.

What do you use to get things done?

What to use to win over the Manchu civil and military? ”

Wang Qinruo seemed to have expected Zhao Yuanyan to ask this, so after Zhao Yuanyan's voice landed, he said with a straight face: "We naturally can't give up the method of making money." But there is no need to rush for a while, right now, people are starting to save money in our Jiaozi shop.

Although it is not as much money as the word shop, it is barely enough for us to use for a while.

Therefore, we can slowly figure out the method of minting money.

What we need to do now is to win over the Chinese armed forces of the DPRK.

Among the Wenchen, except for the Queen Mother's people and Kou Zhun's people, almost all of the rest are our people.

What we have to do now is to find ways to win over the people in the hands of the Queen Mother and Kou Zhun. ”

Zhao Yuanyan asked, "How to win over?" ”

Wang Qinruo said indifferently: "Naturally, money paves the way......"

Zhao Yuanyan secretly gritted his teeth.

The greed of the ministers was beyond his imagination.

The floating wealth that the government has accumulated for many years has consumed nearly forty percent in less than a year.

If he continues to consume it, I am afraid that before he gets into trouble, those Wenchen will be able to suck up all the money in his hand.

When the time comes, without enough money to support him, it is difficult to say whether those ministers will listen to him.

Zhao Yuanyan has the intention to tighten the expenses in the house.

It's just that he didn't say it in front of Wang Qinruo and Li Zheng.

Zhao Yuanyan stared at Wang Qinruo and asked again, "What about the generals?" ”

When it came to military generals, Wang Qinruo's face was a little unnatural.

"Except for some generals of the van army who have been dismissed, none of the generals of the forbidden army have defected to us for ......the time being."

Wang Qinruo sighed and said.

Zhao Yuanyan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't it okay for this king to give them unimaginable glory and wealth?" ”

Wang Qinruo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

When he was wooing those generals, the benefits he could promise had already been promised.

But except for those generals of the Xiang Army who were responsible for their crimes and were dismissed, none of the generals of the forbidden army agreed to help Zhao Yuanyan.

He didn't understand that those generals of the forbidden army who were open-minded and reckless in their daily lives showed rare stubbornness in this matter.

No matter how much he lobbied, people just didn't move.

No matter how big an official he promised, people would not agree.

"Bang!"

Zhao Yuanyan had a gloomy face, slapped the coffee table, and said angrily: "Do they think that this king can't do anything, and he can't give them the glory and wealth they want?" ”

Wang Qinruo opened his mouth, but did not speak.

There are some things he can't tell Zhao Yuanyan.

The reason why those forbidden army generals did not agree to his solicitation, he can probably guess some reasons.

Some of them probably really don't like Zhao Yuanyan.

Some people don't want to get involved in the struggle within the royal family, they just want to protect themselves, and they want to serve the dragon chair.

The person sitting on the dragon chair, as long as the surname is Zhao, no matter who it is, they don't care too much.

There are also some people who have no idea about the power of the dragon.

Because the credit is somewhat useless to them.

Most of them have reached the point where they cannot be sealed.

If you get one more dragon skill, then there is only one death left.

Zhao Yuanyan was annoyed for a long time, clenched his fists, and asked Wang Qinruo, "There is no forbidden army, no forbidden army generals, how can this king succeed?" ”

Wang Qinruo pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The only way to do this is to conspire with the Tiger Army on the one hand, and continue to win over the generals of the forbidden army on the other. It's human beings, and there will always be weaknesses.

As long as we grasp the weaknesses of some generals in the forbidden army, and use both soft and hard forces, they will always be used only by us. ”

"If the plot against the Tiger Army fails, what if it doesn't succeed in winning over the generals of the forbidden army?"

Zhao Yuanyan had a gloomy face and asked a stupid word.

If Kou Ji heard his words, he would definitely tell Zhao Yuanyan without hesitation......

So what else are you playing usurper?

Wash and sleep.

But if Wang Qinruo is not Kou Ji, after hearing Zhao Yuanyan's question, Wang Qinruo took a deep breath and said with a faint gaze: "If you really can't win over the generals of the forbidden army, then there is only one way left." ”

"What way?"

"Join forces with the Queen Mother."

"What?!"
