Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense, it's easy for people to misunderstand if you say it." ”

Liu Heng glanced at Kou Ji faintly.

Kou Ji pretended not to see his eyes, and said, "Since Xia Zhu voted for your aunt, he will definitely make some moves when he arrives at the Criminal Division." You go back and keep an eye on the point, don't let him touch our people.

Now in the Criminal Division, you are the only one who can protect them.

Since he is your aunt's person, he wants to give your aunt some face, and he won't embarrass you too much. ”

Liu Heng heard Kou Ji say business, he put away his faint gaze, nodded and responded, "I won't let him touch our people." ”

After a pause, Liu Heng added: "The prison and the sealed stake are two rooms, and Cao Tong and I will definitely be able to keep it." It's just a room in Qian Valley, so it's not easy to say. The one named Fan Zhongyan has been in office for many days. Although he was carried by you, he didn't show much closeness to us, and I don't know if he would listen to us. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he thought about it for a long time, and said to Liu Heng: "After you go back, let him come to Kou Mansion to see me." ”

"Good ......"

Liu Heng agreed, arched his hand, and left the Kou Mansion.

After Kou Ji saw Liu Heng leave, he did not leave the side hall, but stayed in the side hall alone to think about things.

Xia Zhu took refuge in Liu E, which was expected by Kou Ji.

Lu Yijian took refuge in Liu E, and Kou Ji was not surprised.

The only surprise is that Lu Yijian is now taking refuge in Liu E, which is a bit premature.

I don't know what benefits Liu E promised to Lu Yijian, so that he was willing to risk offending Kou Zhun and Li Di and took refuge with her in advance.

I don't think the stakes are too low.

The surrender of Xia Zhu and Lu Yijian made Liu E's strength soar.

With the two of them making suggestions under Liu E, the status of Kou Zhun's henchmen in the court became even more dangerous.

Kou Ji originally wanted to take control of the Criminal Division, and used the power of the Criminal Division to fight Liu E.

But Kou Zhun's body and bones were too poor to last until he had full control of the Criminal Division.

Now Kou Ji only has the power to raise the third room of the Criminal Division, which is not enough to fight Liu E.

Although the power of these three rooms is not small.

But most of it is external power.

The governors at all levels of the three divisions have a lot of power, but they don't have much say in the court.

If Kou Ji wants to fight with Liu E, he has to control more of the right to speak.

In this situation, he can only think of other ways.

However, before thinking about it again, Kou Ji felt that it was necessary to tell Kou Zhun the news that Lu Yijian had taken refuge in Liu E.

A person with a strong background took refuge in Liu E, and Kou Ji didn't believe that Kou Zhun could turn a blind eye.

Kou Ji walked out of the side hall and went straight to Kou Zhun's bedroom.

When he walked to the courtyard where Kou Zhun's bedroom was, Kou Ji saw Kou Li standing outside the door.

He was slightly stunned for a moment, and took the initiative to greet him,

"Dad, why don't you wait at your grandfather's bedside, but stand outside the door?"

Faced with Kou Ji's question, Kou Li smiled dryly and said in a low voice, "Your uncle and your grandfather have important matters to discuss......

Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Kou Li, the young master of Kou Mansion, is far less than Kou Ji, the young master of Kou Mansion.

I don't know what he thinks in his heart, he always behaves weakly in front of Wang Shu, Wang Kou, and Wang Yuan.

Kou Ji was silent for a long time, and then reminded: "Dad, you are the master of Kou Mansion, and you should have the appearance of a master. ”

Kou Li smiled brightly and said in a low voice, "I think it's good for my father......"

Kou Ji's eyes were closed, and it was rare to take care of him.

When Kou Ji opened his eyes again, he rushed into Kou Zhun's bedroom.

Kou Li tried to open his mouth to stop him, but Kou Ji's figure had already disappeared into the bedroom.

Kou Li hesitated for a moment, wanting to follow up, but in the end he didn't dare to go in.

After Kou Ji entered Kou Zhun's bedroom, he didn't care what Wang Shu was talking to Kou Zhun, he first pointed to the imperial doctor who was waiting beside Kou Zhun, and said indifferently: "You go out first......"

The Imperial Doctor was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

Kou Ji was too arrogant and rude.

He looked at Kou Zhun and hoped that Kou Zhun would help him speak.

But Kou Zhun didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard Kou Ji's words.

The imperial doctor could only hang his head and leave the bedroom.

As soon as the imperial doctor left, Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and asked, "Is he the queen's person?" ”

Koji nodded.

Kou Zhun also nodded, his face a little displeased.

The reason why he didn't reprimand Kou Ji just now was because he guessed Kou Ji's intentions.

What Kou Ji did just now was very rude, Kou Zhun knew Kou Ji's temperament, and he knew that Kou Ji couldn't target an outsider for no reason.

If Kou Ji deliberately targets a person, it means that this person is not only an outsider, but also an opponent.

"She actually dared to send someone to spy on the old man...... It just doesn't make sense. ”

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Now is not the time to worry about this, if she dares to send someone to spy on you so openly, she is not afraid of being discovered by you." I just got the news that Lu Yijian has fallen to the queen......"

Kou Zhun and Wang Shu's eyes widened at the same time, looking incredulous.

Wang Shu was shocked and said, "How dare he? Isn't he afraid of bringing out an empress and making the Lu family infamous through the ages? ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Maybe people care more about power......"

Kou Zhun gritted his teeth, and he said angrily: "Under the Lu Gongmen, how could there be such a rebellious ......?"

The Lu Gong in his mouth refers to the late Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, now is not the time to be angry, and you can't be angry with your body for the sake of an outsider. It is imperative to find a way to deal with it.

If my guess is correct, Lu Yijian has taken refuge in the queen, and the queen should let him replace Wang Zeng and become the new third envoy.

Xia Zhu is about to go to the post of criminal officer.

After the two of them took office, the power in the court was almost in the hands of the queen.

When the time comes, Ding Wei will be in charge of the inner court, Cao Yi will be in charge of the Privy Council, Lu Yijian will be in charge of the three divisions, and Xia Zhu will be in charge of the criminal officer.

All the affairs of the court, big and small, have to pass through their hands.

Grandfather, even if you are restored to the same state, it will be difficult to shake their position again. ”

In fact, there is no need for Kou Ji to explain, Kou Zhun and Wang Shu also know the importance of this.

Immediately, Kou Zhun and Wang Shu had gloomy faces and began to discuss countermeasures.

Kou Ji was beside him, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

As he spoke, Kou Ji's brows furrowed.

Because he found that Kou Zhun and Wang Shu didn't particularly care about what he said.

Although he helped Kou Zhun come up with an idea of begging bones before and helped Kou Zhun get through a difficult time, in the eyes of Kou Zhun and Wang Shu, Kou Ji is still a newcomer to officialdom.

Kou Zhun and Wang Shu seemed to feel that Kou Ji's words could only be used for reference, not all of them.

More often than not, the two of them were discussing each other, and Kou Ji was like an outsider.

And the two of them discussed and discussed, and there were two countermeasures.

One is to ask the official family to come forward and uphold justice.

One is to unite the people to the book.

Kou Ji felt that these two countermeasures were not much different from no countermeasures. 、

If the official family can come forward to uphold justice, then what else is there to do with Liu E?

If it is useful to unite everyone to write a book, Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai will not be deposed.

Kou Ji hesitated again and again, and interrupted the discussion between Kou Zhun and Wang Shu, "Grandfather, uncle...... I think that the best way to do this is to clear the monarch's side. ”

Koji spoke amazingly and gave the best way to do it.

Kou Zhun and Wang Shu were startled when they heard this.

Wang Shu exclaimed: "You can't talk nonsense, if it spreads, you will be killed." ”

Kou Zhun had a dark face and roared: "Without the edict of the official family, how can you clear the monarch's side?" ”

Kou Ji also knew that without the official edict, the Qing monarch's side would not be called the Qing monarch's side, which would be called a coup d'état and rebellion.

But in this situation, if you don't know the side of the king, do you want Liu E to continue to sit big?

After she takes charge of all the powers in the court, and then clears the monarch's side, is there still a chance?

"You go out first......"

Kou Zhun felt that Kou Ji was talking nonsense and kicked him out of the bedroom.

Kou Ji let out a long sigh and left the bedroom.

Standing outside the bedroom, Kou Ji said quietly: "It's better to ask for others than for yourself, this is really true." ”

"What is it better to ask for others than for yourself?"

At some point, Kou Li stepped forward and asked.

Kou Ji barely squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing...... Tired father, you are here to take care of your grandfather, I will go back to Sijun Garden first. ”

Without waiting for Kou Li to agree, Kou Ji had already stepped out of the courtyard where Kou Zhun's bedroom was.

Kou Li looked at Kou Ji's departing back, opened his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "This kid is still well-behaved when he was a child, and he listens to me in everything." When I grew up, I didn't obey at all. ”

Kou Ji returned to the Four Monarchs Garden and asked the servant to move a Hu bed and put it in the courtyard.

He sat on the bed and thought to himself.

Kou Zhun seems to be unreliable.

Although he tried his best to keep Kou Zhun in his current position, the stubborn Kou Zhun still followed the road of history and moved forward.

That's a dead end.

Kou Ji was unwilling to accompany Kou Zhun to a dead end.

"Since others can't be relied on, they can only rely on themselves......"

Kou Ji sighed and decided to part ways with Kou Zhun and go their separate ways.

Kou Zhun used his own methods to deal with Liu E, and Kou Ji also used his own methods to deal with Liu E.

It depends on who is smart.

With a decision, Kou Ji didn't hesitate any longer.

He began to calculate the political resources he had at his disposal, as well as the political resources that could be used.

Kou Ji calculated for a long time, and suddenly found that he had accumulated a lot of political resources in less than a few months after he arrived in Bianjing.

The months of his hard work were not in vain.

I can finally speak in the court.

Although his speech may not be effective, he can speak in the court, and he can be regarded as having a certain right to speak.

With the right to speak, he can do a lot more.

Kou Ji got up suddenly, threw down the bed, and returned to the study.

took out a blank piece of paper, took up a pen and wrote down the political resources that he could use, and also wrote down the political resources that Liu E could use.

After writing, Kou Ji began to pace around the dense crowd of names.

For a long time.

His eyes fell on Xia Zhu's name, and then on Wang Shu's name.

After lingering on the two names for a long time, Kou Ji's eyes lit up.

"You can ...... like this"

"If I deal with Liu E alone, I will definitely suffer. But if you muddy the waters, it's hard to say. can not only take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but also make Liu E a stumbling block. ”

"That's it......"

Kou Ji thought of a countermeasure.

I'm going to go out of the house to plan immediately.

But as soon as he walked to the gate of the Sijun Garden, Kou Zhong hurried over.

"Little master, there is a man named Fan Zhongyan who came to visit."

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "This is a key person, let him wait in the side hall, and I will go to see him." ”

Kou Zhong nodded, left the Four Monarchs Garden, and took Fan Zhongyan to the side hall.

Kou Ji waited for Fan Zhongyan to sit down before appearing in the side hall.

Fan Zhongyan saw Kou Ji, hurriedly got up, walked to Kou Ji with a pace, and bowed to salute, "Your Majesty Fan Zhongyan has seen Judge Kou." ”

"Don't be polite......"

Kou Ji said casually and looked Fan Zhongyan up and down.

Fan Zhongyan is nearly thirty years old, with a long beard, not fat or thin, a head taller than Kou Ji, and wearing a green coat.

He has a gentle attitude, like an uncle next door.

"Sit down and say ......"

Kou Ji sat in the main seat, and Fan Zhongyan followed and sat in the guest seat.

After sitting down, without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Fan Zhongyan spoke first, "When Xia Guan first arrived in Bianjing, he failed to go to the mansion to thank Judge Kou for his kindness, and I also hope that Judge Kou Haihan. ”

Kou Ji brought him to Beijing as an official, and he already knew about it through Liu Heng's mouth.

He was grateful that Koji was able to bring him someone he had never met.

But he didn't want to mix with Kou Ji.

This is also the reason why he has been in Beijing for so long, and he has not come to Koufu to visit.

He felt that Kou Ji was mixed with Liu Heng and Cao Tong, and he must also be a gentleman.

He was reluctant to associate with the gentlemen, and always felt that these gentlemen were moths of the national dynasty and a stumbling block to their Jinshi who were born by fame.

He has studied hard for ten years, and only now has he mixed up with a seven-grade official body.

But what about Koji?

did not study hard, nor did he participate in the imperial examination, as soon as he came out, he was a seven-rank official.

Liu Heng and Cao Tong are the same.

What's more, whether it is Kou Ji, Liu Heng, or Cao Yan, they are all a round younger than him.

Kou Ji sensed the alienation in Fan Zhongyan's body, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said bluntly: "You don't seem to like to have a deep relationship with this official?" ”

Fan Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The lower officials don't dare to ......"

Naturally, he didn't dare to say what was in front of Kou Ji.

Even though the situation in the Kou Mansion is not good now, it is still not something he can offend.

Kou Ji waved his hand and said: "You don't need to hide it in front of this official, this official has always liked to talk straight to his own people, and he doesn't like to beat around the bush." If you have any doubts, you can speak up, and this official can solve your doubts. ”

Fan Zhongyan opened his mouth, and before he could speak, he heard Kou Ji say again: "But there is one thing, this official needs to remind you." You are the person promoted by this official, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty know it. No matter what you think, in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty, you are the official of the people. ”

Kou Ji was right.

But when Fan Zhongyan heard this, he looked bitter.

He was silent for a long time, looked at Kou Ji, gritted his teeth and said, "Then the lower official will have something to say......

Kou Ji smiled indifferently and made a gesture of please.
