In the hearts of young people, no one knows war better than the people of Baghdad.

He felt that Koji should ask him for advice on how to fight war, not communicate.

Kou Ji saw the young man's thoughts through the young man's expression, and he smiled: "Maybe you should see my Great Song Dynasty's war fighting style." When the time comes, you will know how the war of my Great Song is different from your war. ”

Although the young man didn't look down on the Great Song Dynasty's war fighting style, he needed to understand the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Do I have a chance to see it?"

The young man asked bluntly.

Kou Ji smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have a team of soldiers and horses fighting in the southwest, if you are interested, I can send someone to send you over to see it." ”

The young man nodded slowly, stared at Kou Ji and continued to ask, "Then can I bring my own army?" ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji raised an eyebrow.

Kou Ji knew that the young man had someone in his hands.

The sea of books in the Zichen Hall was very huge, and it was far from being something that the young man and Hatuk could transport over.

They must have helpers, and there should be quite a few of them.

The young people call it an army, which means that those helpers are not stragglers, nor are they men or slaves, but formed soldiers and horses.

The caliph is now in a very bad situation in Baghdad, and there should be very few people at his disposal.

In this case, a part of the troops and horses were also sent to the Great Song Dynasty, so it was necessary for Kou Ji to speculate on the intentions of the caliphate.

Kou Ji was thinking about something, but he said with a smile: "I don't know how many people there are in your army?" My Great Song Dynasty has a clear law to restrict the entry of foreign soldiers and horses, and if it exceeds a certain number, we will treat the other party as an intruder and exterminate it by force. ”

The young man heard a strong sense of malice in Kou Ji's words, and he felt that if he gave a quantity that Kou Ji could not bear, Kou Ji would definitely take some measures that he was unwilling to accept.

The young man thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers, "Three thousand ......"

Kou Ji smiled and said: "Three thousand people are not much, after they enter the country, if they are willing to accept the control of my Great Song Dynasty at a specific time, I can consider explaining this matter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and ask him to allow your army to enter." ”

The young man was stunned.

"When is the specific time?"

The smile on Kou Ji's face was even stronger, "You don't object to my Great Song Dynasty controlling your army?" ”

The young man spread his hands and said, "Why opposition? ”

The smile on Kou Ji's face widened.

He was sure that the number of soldiers and horses brought by the young man was definitely more than three thousand.

Otherwise, he would not have been so generous to hand over 3,000 soldiers and horses to the Great Song Dynasty.

A group of laborers who ate less, didn't get paid, and were willing to work hard, Kou Ji felt that he could make good use of it.

Kou Ji smiled and said to the young man: "Since you don't object, then I will explain this matter to my Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty later." Before you get to know my Da Song, it's better not to mention our deal.

After you get to know me thoroughly, it's not too late for us to talk about a deal. ”

The young man hesitated, but finally agreed to Kou Ji's request.

He didn't have enough strength to forcibly preach in the Great Song Dynasty, so he could only obey Kou Ji's orders for the time being.

After Kou Ji discussed with the young man, the eunuch brought a meal.

Kou Ji didn't stay long, he made an appointment with the young man to pick up the book tomorrow, and left Ruisheng Garden.

When Kou Ji left Ruisheng Garden, it was getting late.

After returning to the house, I found that those scholars were still chanting poems in the front yard, and when they arrived in the backyard, they found that Xiang Yan and Kou Tianci had fallen asleep.

Kou Ji didn't bother them, but went to the study alone.

After entering the study and taking down his seat, Kou Ji called the leader of his guards.

As soon as the leader of the guards arrived, Kou Ji instructed: "Send someone to follow the caravan to Hexi, tell Zhang Yuan that there is a large number of soldiers and horses entrenched outside Yuanshan, and let him find a way to find out the truth of this army of soldiers and horses."

After finding out the situation, I quickly sent someone to report it to me. ”

When the leader of the guards heard this, he said in a deep voice, "Do you want to let the brothers try their depth?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said: "There is no need, they will become the labor of my Great Song Dynasty in the near future, and we don't need to test the reality of labor with the lives of our brothers." ”

"Labor?"

The leader of the guards looked stunned.

Kou Ji smiled and nodded: "Labor, labor delivered to the door for free, don't use it in vain." ”

The leader of the guards hesitated: "Is there such a stupid person in the world? ”

Kou Ji smiled: "It's not that they are stupid, it's that they have a request for us, just like Qingtang has a request for my Great Song, before they get what they want, they will definitely obey my Great Song's orders." ”

The leader of the guards suddenly realized.

Kou Ji continued to instruct: "Send someone to give Cao Yu another order, so that he will not be the king of the mountain on the island." The newly formed Annan Army of the imperial court has entered the territory of Jiaozhi, and there will be a major battle in Jiaozhi later, and our labor will also participate in it.

When the battle breaks out in front of Cochin, the rear will be empty.

If Cao Yu can seize the opportunity, he will definitely be able to make a lot of money. ”

The leader of the guards nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji reminded: "After letting Cao take advantage of the benefits, he will immediately withdraw from Jiaozhi and not fall in love." When our laborers arrive at Cochin, they will definitely do something in Cochin.

At that time, there will definitely be chaos in the territory of Cochin.

He can take the opportunity to recruit some people, but he can't get involved. ”

"......"

The leader of the guards agreed, and seeing that Kou Ji didn't give any more orders, he bowed down and exited the study.

After the head of the guards left, Ko Ji sat down in his chair, shook his head and said to himself, "Missionary? Let's first conquer the local religion of Cochin, as well as those wild sacrifices in the mountains and forests. ”

The people sent by the caliph were interested in preaching in the Great Song Dynasty, how could Kou Ji give them a chance.

Kou Ji also wanted to plot the Wisdom Pavilion, so naturally it was impossible to turn his face against them.

Then you can only throw them into the quagmire on the other side of Cochin, and let them sink deeply.

By the time they're in the middle of it, it's too late to figure it out.

At that time, the only one who can rely on Kou Ji can continue to squeeze the books in the Wisdom Pavilion can be used.

"The armor left over by the Dragon God Second Guard and the Tiger Wing Army is almost moldy in the warehouse...... I originally thought that Qingtang and Liao Guo would digest them, but since you have appeared, and you are willing to help me with the Great Song Dynasty, it will be cheaper for you......"

Kou Ji muttered.

As long as the young man and his army are caught in a cross-fertangle, there will inevitably be a demand for armor.

The Great Song Dynasty sold the eliminated armor to them, or sold it to the Jiaozhi people, and they could get rich profits from it.

"The biggest headache right now is the translation problem...... There are few people in the Great Song Dynasty who understand the Great Food Literature, so many books, what year and month will they be translated? ”

Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

Kou Ji thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a proper method, and finally he could only decide to let Ouyang Xiu and the others study a foreign language at the same time.

Anyway, they are the ones who organize the books and translate the books in the end, so they naturally need to master the big food literature.

This also makes it easier for them to work in the future.

After making a decision, Kou Ji put his clothes together and went to sleep, and after getting up the next day, Kou Ji led people into the Ruisheng Garden, and moved the books in the Ruisheng Garden to the two warehouses vacated by the wrought iron workshop.

The young man, Hatuk and the others were arranged by Kou Ji to live in a garden outside Ryan Town.

After doing this, Kou Ji entered the palace, met Zhao Zhen, conveyed the young man's intentions to Zhao Zhen, and also told Zhao Zhen his thoughts.

After Zhao Zhen learned everything, he agreed with Kou Ji's idea.

and told Kou Ji that he would arrange for the people of the Wu De Division to cooperate with Kou Ji.

Kou Ji told the young man the news when he left the palace, and the young man immediately sent people to the Western Regions with the people of Wu Desi to mobilize his army.

After a period of time, it entered the annual leave.

Except for some disturbances when the Liao State entered the New Year's tribute, there was nothing else worth mentioning.

The New Year is over.

The government and the opposition entered the preparations before the suburban festival.

On the streets of Bianjing City, you can see the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs every day, leaving the carriage and horses unseated, running around Bianjing City on foot.

The reason why they did this was because the place of the suburban sacrifice was set fifteen miles outside Bianjing City.

On the day of the suburban festival, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military must walk from Bianjing City to reach fifteen miles outside Bianjing City.

They don't move around for a long time, so they naturally have to practice in advance.

In a flash, it was the day of the suburban festival.

Early in the morning, Kou Ji hugged Kou Tianci and took Xiang Yan into Bianjing City.

After arriving in Bianjing, I saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, as well as the emperor's relatives and relatives, with their families and gathered in front of the Taimiao.

In addition to them, there are also many famous Confucians.

A black pressed man.

After the Kou Ji family arrived, half an hour passed.

Zhao Zhencai appeared in front of the temple in a dragon, accompanied by Queen Cao's phoenix drive, and the carriage of the concubines in the harem.

Zhao Zhen took his Yingying Yanyan to the gate of the Taimiao Temple.

Someone spoke up.

It was a great Confucian who spoke out.

He is seventy years old, and his hair is white.

After Zhao Zhen arrived, he stopped in front of the dragon with a solemn face.

"Grass people Yan Cunren, see the official ......"

Yan Cunren stopped in front of the dragon, and Zhao Zhen had to order Chen Lin to stop the frame.

Zhao Zhen said with a little displeasure: "Yan Weng doesn't have to be polite......"

Yan Cunren bowed and said: "The official family, the gift of the suburbs is the great sacrifice of the ancients. According to the ancient rites, no one is allowed to ride except the Son of Heaven. Please also ask the officials to obey the courtesy, don't offend the heavens. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The concubines who were sitting in the carriage all changed their faces.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military were stunned for a moment, and then covered their mouths and snickered one by one.

"Well done!"

Kou Ji had a smile on his face and shouted loudly in his heart.

He proposed that Zhao Zhen hold a suburban festival, not only for the purpose of diverting attention.

More importantly, in order to find some trouble for the concubines in the harem and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Save them from chewing their tongues one by one.

If Yan Cunren didn't speak, Kou Ji would also say it at this time.

Kou Ji was laughing, but Zhao Zhen couldn't laugh.

After Zhao Zhen listened to Yan Cunren's words, his face was slightly hesitant.

He didn't feel sorry for the concubines in the harem, he felt sorry for the two pregnant concubines...... A child in the womb.

Just when Zhao Zhen was hesitating, Queen Cao took the initiative to get off the phoenix drive and saluted Zhao Zhen: "The concubine's phoenix drive is for the two sisters to sit, and the concubine walks with the others." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a little emotion: "You still know my thoughts......"

Empress Cao smiled indifferently and did not speak again.

Zhao Zhen looked at Yan Cunren and said, "Is the queen's proposal appropriate?" ”

Although Yan Cunren was respectful, he also knew the importance of the inheritance of the royal heirs, so he did not continue to dwell on this matter.

Yan Cunren saluted Zhao Zhen, "The queen is virtuous, and she is willing to replace her with her body, which is naturally appropriate." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said to Queen Cao: "I have wronged you......"

Empress Cao smiled and said, "Don't be wronged......"

After Zhao Zhen asked Empress Cao to stand aside, he said to the concubines who were still sitting in the carriage behind him: "Come down......

The concubines heard Zhao Zhen's order and could only obey it.

One by one, they got out of the carriage with bitter faces, as if their father had died.

Not long after the concubines got out of the car, the official of the Ministry of Rites announced, "The auspicious time has arrived......

Zhao Zhen led the imperial relatives and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military into the Taimiao and sacrificed according to the rules.

After leaving the temple.

Zhao Zhen and the two pregnant concubines sat on the dragon and drove towards the outside of Bianjing City.

Although Empress Cao gave up the phoenix drive, Zhao Zhen did not let the two concubines ride the phoenix.

Empress Cao used her own walking to exchange for Zhao Zhen an opportunity to defend the two pregnant concubines, and it was naturally impossible for Zhao Zhen to let the two concubines occupy the phoenix that belonged to Empress Cao.

A simple act, but there is a lot of meaning in it.

Some concubines who were worried about Empress Cao's position would somewhat extinguish their minds when they saw this scene.

Zhao Zhen did not let the two pregnant concubines occupy Empress Cao's phoenix, which shows that Empress Cao's status in Zhao Zhen's heart is not low.

He didn't have the intention of replacing the queen, and others didn't think that if there were only the princes and princesses left, they would be able to covet the position of Empress Cao.

Zhao Zhenlong was in front, and the concubines, imperial relatives, and civil and military ministers followed on foot.

When you go out of the city gates.

Kou Ji found a gap, and took advantage of the fact that the Confucians were not paying attention, and stuffed Kou Tianci into Zhao Zhen's dragon bowl.

Zhao Zhen, as Kou Tianci's godfather, naturally couldn't drive Kou Tianci out of the carriage.

So he left Kou Tianci in the dragon bowl.

Out of the city gates.

Grain was already prepared at the gates of the city.

Concubines, imperial relatives, and ministers of civil and military affairs, all of them turned bitter and provoked grains.

Walking from the Taimiao to the city gate, some of them were already tired and out of breath, and now they still have to carry the grains and continue to move forward, they naturally feel bitter.

They wanted to find someone to help, but those Confucians, who valued the suburban sacrifice more than their lives, were staring at it.

As long as they dare to find someone, those great Confucians will definitely not be polite to them.

If you don't do it well, you will have a seizure on the spot and scold them for being a bloody dog.

Maybe Zhao Zhen will be invited to dismiss them and go to the knighthood.

Koji was undoubtedly the most relaxed of them all.

Because he had already thrown the biggest burden Kou Tianci into Zhao Zhen's hands.

He only needs to help Xiang Yan share the grains.

Naturally, the others are not as easy as Kou Ji, and they more or less have some family members to take care of.

Among them, the most cumbersome is naturally the civil servant.

The emperor's relatives and martial artists were punished by Zhao Zhen, and most of the children with official positions and titles in the family were reduced, so the martial artists had a lot less people to take care of.

On the contrary, the civil officials were not punished by Zhao Zhen, and there were many children with official positions in their families.

Among them, there are some milk dolls.

The ministers have to take care of both the female dependents and the juniors, so they are naturally miserable.

Kou Ji almost didn't laugh when he saw Wang Zeng holding a milk doll, carrying a child on his back, and three or five children around him.

Kou Ji walked from afar and said with a smile: "The prince's mansion is really prosperous......

Wang Zeng heard Kou Ji's words and glared at Kou Ji viciously.

Zhang Zhibai had a bitter face at this time, led a child in one hand, walked to Kou Ji's side, and sighed: "The people of Lu Mansion are more prosperous......

When Kou Ji heard this, he immediately pursued Lu Yijian's figure in the crowd, and finally found Lu Yijian at the end of the team.

As Zhang Zhibai said, the people of the Lu Mansion are more prosperous than the Wangfu.

Because there were eight children around Lu Yijian, they dragged Lu Yijian's clothes and refused to leave, crying somewhere.

"Hahaha......"

Kou Ji couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed out loud.

When Lu Yijian heard Kou Ji's laughter, he scolded, "It's all your ...... that harmed."

Kou Ji hurriedly replied: "This matter was decided by the official family, and it has nothing to do with me, Duke Lu can not harm me." ”

Seeing that Lu Yi was scolding briefly, Kou Ji hurriedly said: "I have to take the first step, if I delay the auspicious time of worshipping the heavens, the official family will definitely be guilty." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai all darkened.

By the time they wanted to get angry, Koji had already run away with his burden.

The fifteen-mile journey is very long for the dignitaries who travel by chariot and horse on weekdays.

Zhao Zhen sat in the carriage and arrived at the place of sacrifice early.

The emperor's relatives, civil and military ministers, and concubines fell behind like walking corpses.

Someone walked a few steps and then collapsed on the side of the road, panting.

Someone was carrying the grains and staggering forward.

Others sat on the ground and wept bitterly.

There are all kinds of things in the world.

Kou Ji and Xiang Yan arrived at the altar long after Zhao Zhen arrived at the altar, and then arrived at the location of the altar.

Even so, the couple were the first two of them to arrive among the ministers of civil and military affairs and the relatives of the emperor.

As soon as Kou Ji arrived, he was invited by Zhao Zhen to the big tent under the altar.

When Kou Ji entered the tent, he saw Zhao Zhen sitting in front of the stove, playing with Kou Tianci.

The two of them had a good time.

It's just that as soon as Kou Ji entered the tent, Kou Tianci was like seeing a cat's mouse, and fled from the tent with a bang.

Zhao Zhen watched Kou Tianci leave in a daze, and said to Kou Ji: "Fourth brother, Tianci'er is very afraid of you?" ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed and said: "He is too noisy in the house, I often beat him." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he slowly sat up straight, and taught Kou Ji the parenting scripture in righteous words.

Although he does not have a son now, it does not prevent him from teaching Koji how to educate his son.

Kou Ji listened to the parenting scripture taught by Zhao Zhen, and couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhao Zhen taught Kou Ji the parenting scripture of the two pillars of incense time before chatting with Kou Ji about business, "Fourth brother, the forbidden army guarding both sides of the official road reported to me, and now most of the people are still in the first half of the road.

Others fainted in the middle of the road.

Still others simply sit on the side of the road and stop moving.

Most of them are destined to not catch up with the auspicious time, should I wait for them, or not? ”

Kou Ji thought for a moment, "The sacrifice is an hour, if you miss the auspicious time, then what else is the sacrifice?" What the officials have to do now is to pass on the edict and tell those who are still on the road that if they miss the hour, they will be dismissed and cut off. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he looked at Kou Ji with a shocked expression.

"The officials who deposed most of the officials in one go, then who will help me govern the country?"

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The officials are relieved, but they just depose some idle officials, which is not only harmless to the imperial court, but beneficial to it." ”

Zhao Zhen thought about Kou Ji's words seriously, and finally slowly widened his eyes, stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "Take the opportunity to cut all those officials who use the shade to make up for the ranks?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly: "This is a rare opportunity for the official family. At present, the military ministers and imperial relatives in the court have been rectified by the official family, and the official family no longer needs to worry about the military ministers and the imperial relatives.

But the ministers were never rectified.

The officials in Wenchen's family who use the shade to make up for the officials do not know how many.

Some people who are old enough to contribute to the court can naturally be kept by the officials.

If you can't contribute to the court, keep them to do something.

And then there are the young milk dolls.

If there are one or two officials in a family, it is enough to show the longness of the official family.

A family of five or six, seven or eight.

A little too much.

The royal relatives and martial artists rely on their identities and their families to be rich and prosperous from generation to generation.

The ministers are not as good as them, but with the shadow of their ancestors, they can also be rich for several generations.

The emperor's relatives and martial artists relied on their identities and bullied others.

The children of the Wenchen's family are actually similar.

Now I can take the opportunity to take a small rectification, and naturally I can't miss it.

The suburban festival is a great gift, and those great Confucians will stand on the side of the official family.

Therefore, whatever decision the official family makes through this suburban festival, the Confucians will support you.

With the support of the great Confucians, Wenchen can only be soft. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But what if Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and other old ministers can't get here in time because of their old age."

I'm going to depose them, too? ”

Kou Ji muttered, "This involves a trade-off. They are old, but they all have young and strong descendants in their families, as long as they let go of those children, with the support of young people, they will definitely be able to get here in time.

If they are unwilling to let go of those children, it will be difficult for them to get here in time. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Zhao Zhen sighed, "Although this move is unkind, I can only be ruthless. I have killed the emperor's relatives and relatives, and I have killed the martial artists, and it is time to clean up the civilian officials. ”

"Chen Lin?"

"The slave is here!"

"If you pass the decree, if you miss the auspicious time, I will condemn you."
