Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Ji beside him, and said with a smile: "I always remember what the fourth brother said to me at the beginning, and I firmly believe that the fourth brother can do it." But I didn't expect that the fourth brother did much better than I expected. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently and said humbly: "The official family said that it was funny, my Great Song can have today, it is the credit of everyone." ”

"The credit of all?"

Zhao Zhensun smiled and said faintly: "Counting on them, it is impossible for my Great Song Dynasty to have today's situation." I estimate that I can only live by guarding the country of my ancestors. ”

What the civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty looked like, Zhao Zhenqing knew it clearly.

When looking through the living notes of Taizu, Taizong, and his father, I can see it more clearly.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "According to the meaning of the official family, the Great Song Dynasty can have today, and it has become the credit of the minister alone." The minister himself is self-aware.

The minister alone can't create today's Great Song Dynasty. ”

Although the Great Song Dynasty can have today, Kou Ji's contribution is indeed small.

But Koji could never take all the credit.

He alone couldn't create today's Great Song Dynasty.

It can only be said that he single-handedly dominated the current Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen smiled, and did not continue to argue with Kou Ji about this issue, he hesitated: "Seeing that the prosperous era is approaching, is it not appropriate for Kou Gong to leave now?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, he heard Zhao Zhen continue: "Kou Gong has made outstanding contributions to my Great Song Dynasty. My Great Song Dynasty can have today's prosperous era, and he has made great contributions.

Now that the prosperous era is coming, doesn't he want to stay and see the prosperous era he has built with bricks and tiles? ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The official family came to keep my grandfather?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and sighed, "I am not a faint king, how can I watch the sage leave me." ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "My grandfather just left Bianjing City, not the Great Song Dynasty. The land of Korea is now the territory of my Great Song Dynasty.

Although the official family gave the Han land to the ministers.

But Handi is still the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, "According to what you said, is it hypocrisy?" ”

Kou Ji smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhao Zhen sighed with emotion: "I am really reluctant to ......"

Kou Ji was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "The minister is reluctant. ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and questioned, "Then you still let Kou Gong leave?" ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "My grandfather has made up his mind, who can stop it?" ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Is it because of your father and your brothers?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen paused for a moment and added: "I know all the stupid things your brothers have done. The stupid thing they did wasn't enough to make a sage go away. ”

Kou Ji confessed: "My grandfather has his own ideas, and I can't persuade them. Why don't you try it? ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Wang Zeng has already told me the reason why Gong Kou is leaving. I just came to you to see if you could stay with Kou Gong.

Since you can't keep Kou Gong, then no one can keep Kou Gong.

I'm not going to touch that mold. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed: "Gong Kou has worked hard for me in the Great Song Dynasty, he wants to leave Beijing, I have to reward, I will add ...... to you"

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to finish speaking, Kou Ji said decisively: "The official family has allowed me a rich fief of the Kou family, which is enough. There is no need to do any more rewards.

If the official family really wants to reward my grandfather, it is better to have someone copy some of the unique books in the Longtu Pavilion and give them to my grandfather.

I believe that my grandfather must have been happier when he saw the transcripts of those lone copies than he was when he saw other things that were wounded by the officials. ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Then it's decided." I will have someone copy the unique copy of the collection in the Dragon Chart Pavilion as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said: "Tianci recently ran to the Ministry of Industry with Wang Shizi of Xiyang County to consult some files of the Ministry of Industry, which is very tiring.

Or I will order someone to copy the files of the Ministry of Works. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "No need. They are too young to know the preciousness of those things. So you need to copy it yourself, and you will cherish those things. ”

Zhao Zhen said with emotion: "The Sixth Ministry of the Central Committee, you only let Tianci go to the Ministry of Industry, and only let him copy the things of the Ministry of Industry. Fourth brother, you still attach so much importance to the Ministry of Industry and craftsmanship. ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "The world doesn't pay attention to craftsmanship, and always feels that craftsmen are inferior. But I don't know that if a country wants to develop and become strong, it is absolutely inseparable from craftsmen.

Take my Da Song now.

If it weren't for the craftsmen who made muskets and cannons, what would my Great Song Dynasty do to sweep the four razes?

What do you use to press the four yi?

Although the craftsmen did not go to the battlefield to shed blood.

But they used their skills to contribute to the Great Song Dynasty.

Let Da Song shed less I don't know how much blood.

I don't know how much time it saved for Da Song.

These things are not visible to others, but I can see them. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "So the more clever the craftsman, the more he should be valued by the imperial court." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded with a deep groan.

The changes brought by the craftsmen to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen saw it in his eyes.

He also slowly began to pay attention to craftsmen.

It's just that the status of craftsmen is not high in the inherent class hierarchy.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen couldn't raise the treatment of craftsmen to a very high level in one go.

"When we restructured, we tried to find a way to promote the status of craftsmen......"

Zhao Zhen pondered for a while before slowly speaking.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The reform of the cultural system will be much more troublesome than the innovation of the military system. ”

Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "I believe that no matter how big the trouble is, we can solve it." ”

Kou Ji smiled and nodded, "It's good that the official family has confidence." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said, "Speaking of trouble, I have encountered a problem right now. I sent people to recruit soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, Hedong and other places, but I did not recruit many people.

It was a serious disagreement with my expectations.

The people I sent sent to me to play a book to me, but the local people were not enthusiastic. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and thought about it: "The official family can delay it for a while, and try again in winter." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji suspiciously.

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Now is the time to be busy with farming, and those wealthy families can use the people." Therefore, as long as the people exert a little effort, they can mix a mouthful of rations.

They can't be hungry, so naturally they won't go to the army to eat in order to hang their heads on their belts.

Wait until winter, after the farming is idle.

Those wealthy families will naturally force the people to become soldiers. ”

Zhao Zhen groaned: "What if those wealthy families change their sex? ”

Kou Ji sighed: "If they change sex, then they are not wealthy." ”

Zhao Zhen pondered and said, "It's the same...... I just asked casually...... After all, this recruitment is a big deal, and I am not afraid of 10,000, but I am afraid of what happens. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "The minister understands." ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "When will the fourth brother enter the palace to help me?" Without the fourth brother on the side to advise me, it is not easy for me to do things. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "This matter depends on the official family, not the minister." ”

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment and said, "After I return to the palace in a while, I will let the people of Qin Tianjian pick a date." Then he decreed that Tianci and Baoqing would get married. ”

When Zhao Zhen said this, he said with emotion: "In a blink of an eye, my Baoqing is all big." I still remember the time when I was furious about the matter of my heirs. ”

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "The official family is reluctant? ”

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "You are reluctant to let Kou Hui be the princess, how can I be willing to marry my daughter." ”

Kou Ji said with a bright smile: "At that time, this marriage was decided by you personally by the official family. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed, "I didn't expect that among my eldest son and two daughters, Baoqing is the most worry-free." ”

Kou Ji groaned: "Listen to the meaning of the official family, won't the birthday make you worry?" ”

Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "It's very noisy...... A few days ago, there was a lot of noise about marrying Lu Gongzhu. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Lu Gongshu is much older than Shouqing, I don't know how much. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji with a stunned expression.

Kou Ji was also stunned, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

In the Great Song Dynasty, older girls were criticized for marrying younger men.

But it is not uncommon for young girls to marry older men.

Kou Ji said with a dry smile: "How old is Shouqing, why do you want to marry Lu Gongzhu?" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled indifferently, "What else can I think, of course, it is to pave the way for my younger brother......"

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Zhen shook his head with a smile, signaling Kou Ji not to continue talking about this topic, everyone knew it.

Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "Even so, the official family entrusted King Shou to me, but I was also implicated. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "This is Cao Wei's dying wish, and I can't refuse." If I refuse, Cao Wei may not be able to rest in peace.

Cao Wei was my big song, and he almost dried up all his blood.

I can't let him leave with regrets. ”

Kou Ji exclaimed: "The official family is benevolent and righteous......"

Zhao Zhen got up slowly and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go back to the palace." After leaving the palace for a long time, who knows if there will be any gossip again. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he didn't keep Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen walked to the moon gate in the backyard.

Chen Lin didn't know when he had appeared outside the Moon Gate, bowing down and waiting for Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen left, Kou Ji lay on the rocking chair and shook and shook.

"Sure enough...... It's not a good thing to be an emperor......"

Before the young son grows up, someone has already begun to pave the way for the young son.

In the future, it is indispensable to fight for power and profit.

When the time comes, the brothers will fight.

Zhao Zhen can stand it.

What's more, Zhao Zhen can clearly see it, but he can't eradicate it.

Because this matter is not something that Zhao Zhen can stop if he wants to.

As the ruler of a country, it is impossible to be by his son's side all the time and keep an eye on his son.

And those people around his son affect his son all the time.

So fighting is inevitable.

However, Zhao Zhen can't deal with the people around his son.

You can't just cut off your son and his mother in order to prevent trouble, and let your son hate him, right?

That's too impersonal.

It's not his Zhao Zhen's style.

"My heart is not small, but I don't want to think about how big the official family is. If you want to fight for power, let's get through the official family. If you can't survive the official family, I'm afraid you will be thrown into the poor countryside to become a vassal king in the future.

The Great Song Dynasty is very big, and it is sealed.

There is really no place to seal it, so you can also go and grab a place. ”

“……”

Kou Ji muttered and fell asleep.

I slept until sunset.

Slowly sobered up in Xiang Yan's call.

After sobering up, I remembered that Kou Hui and Baoqing were still silently reading in the study, and then rushed over.

When I arrived at the study, I didn't see half a figure.

I only saw a chaotic study.

In the end, in Xiang Yan's laughter, he regretfully left the study.

"That girl is spoiled by you now, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she will have a headache for you in the future......"

"If one is spoiled, then another one!"

Kou Ji responded loudly, and then took Xiang Yan back to the room.

……

Three days later.

Chen Lin held a scroll of holy decrees in his hand and arrived at the Kou Mansion.

Kou Ji led Xiang Yan and Kou Tianci to listen to the order.

Chen Lin unfolded the holy decree and read out the contents of the holy decree.

Kou Tianci's wedding date was set.

July 23.

"Fifteen days to go...... wedding"

After Kou Ji ordered someone to take Chen Lin down to rest, he turned his head sideways and said to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan groaned: "It's only fifteen days, and the time is a bit rushed...... Some of my relatives couldn't take care of ......."

Kou Ji nodded and said, "It's really a bit rushed, and I can't take care of it all." However, since the official family has already issued an order, there is no room for reversal. ”

After saying this, Kou Ji looked at Kou Tianci, who had been in a daze on the side.

"What do you think?"

Kou Tianci slowly returned to his senses, and the ghost made the god ask, "Do you want to give a dowry?" ”

Kou Ji and Xiang Yan were both stunned.

Xiang Yan covered her mouth and laughed.

Kou Ji said angrily: "The princess is married, and that is called Zhaodong bed." Although the princess will follow you to Handi, nominally, you have entered the princess's mansion and become a colt.

It's like a folk recruiting sons-in-law.

So do you think you should give a dowry? ”

Kou Tianci was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "The dowry still has to be given." But you don't need to give too much, you just need to be polite and prepare what the guests want to see. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "Your old Taishan is the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty." Do you still want to pretend to be wide in front of him? ”

Kou Tianci smiled bitterly, "I'll just say it casually......"

When Kou Ji heard this, he no longer sarcastically mocked Kou Tianci.

"Yan'er, you go down and tell the people in the house to start preparing now."

Kou Ji commanded Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan agreed, and went down to discuss with the housekeeper.

After Kou Ji left Xiang Yan, he beckoned to Kou Tianci.

"You follow me to the study...... I have something to tell you. ”

Kou Tianci followed Kou Ji to the study.

After the father and son sat down.

Kou Ji stared at Kou Tianci and asked seriously, "Are you ready?" ”

Kou Tianci rarely saw Kou Ji show a serious look in front of him.

Suddenly, seeing Kou Ji's serious face, he hurriedly straightened his attitude, stared at Kou Ji and said, "You told me a long time ago that after returning to Bianjing, you will marry Baoqing."

I'm prepared. ”

After a pause, Kou Tianci said again: "My marriage with Baoqing was set since childhood. So I was prepared for a long time. ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I'm asking you, are you ready to become a man, a man who carries a family on one shoulder?" ”

Kou Tianci opened his mouth, eager to shout, 'I'm ready'.

But I opened my mouth a few times, but I didn't shout.

He didn't want to lie in front of Koji, and he didn't want to deceive Koji.

The word man is a bit far away for him, because he is still young.

Seeing this, Kou Ji beckoned to Kou Tianci.

Kou Tianci walked in front of Kou Ji.

Kou Ji patted Kou Tianci on the shoulder and said, "You are still young, it stands to reason that you are a little anxious to get married now." But now that things are in sight, you have to marry Baoqing early.

Baoqing's girl, now I guess I can't even figure out what love love is.

So there are two things that the Father must remind you of.

First, when you are not ready to be a man who carries a family, don't touch Baoqing.

Second, take care of Baoqing.

She married you this time and went to Handi with you, and it will be difficult to see her father and mother in the future.

Maybe you can only see each other two or three times in a lifetime.

Her only dependence is on you.

If you treat her badly, then no one treats her well. ”

"What do you mean not to touch?"

Kou Tianci questioned.

Kou Ji said lightly: "The grandmother in the palace will come to tell you in a few days, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Kou Tianci hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Kou Ji sighed: "If you have anything you want to ask, learn, or want to know in recent days, you can come to the study to find me." Otherwise, after you leave Bianjing, I want to teach you, I'm afraid I won't have much time. ”

Kou Tianci nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji saw that Kou Tianci had no intention of continuing, so he let Kou Tianci go down.

After Kou Tianci left, Kou Ji let out a long sigh.

Kou Tianci and Baoqing are getting married now, it is indeed too early.

Two people, one is a half-sized doll and the other is a doll.

After getting married, you can't do anything but respect each other.

"Why don't you let the heavens touch Baoqing?"

Chen Lin didn't know when she entered Kou Ji's study, staring at Kou Ji, her eyes full of questions.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said nonchalantly: "After you return to the palace, just find an imperial doctor and ask." ”

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Premature breakage, harmful? ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin, "It's not harmful, it's harmful." ”

Chen Lin nodded and said, "After our family returns to the palace, we will find the imperial doctor to confirm this matter." ”

Kou Ji didn't bother to continue to discuss this with Chen Lin.

He said very politely: "I'll let you take you down to rest, let you drink some tea and leave, what are you still doing in my house." ”

Chen Lin stood in place and was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke, "The official family wants to give Princess Baoqing three thousand armor soldiers. ”

Kou Ji was shocked, "The standard of the Imperial Guard? ”

Chen Lin nodded.

Kou Ji asked: "The official family is afraid that Baoqing will be in danger after he arrives in Handi?" ”

Chen Lin nodded and said, "Han Di has decided that no one knows if those Goryeo captives will rebel at any time. The official family just wanted to leave Princess Baoqing a life-saving capital. ”

"It's also a life-saving capital for God......"

"It's good if you know......"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "The official family is really generous. ”

Chen Lin raised his head slightly, "My Great Song Dynasty is now rich all over the world, and the people are tens of millions. Princess Baoqing is the most favored princess of the official family, and the official family naturally wants to be generous to Princess Baoqing. ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "The official family just doesn't want to give other dowries. You don't know about it, huh? ”

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji, "The official family is not short of money. ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "No matter how much money you have, it's not enough for the official family." What Princess Baoqing is the most favored princess of the official family, deceitful, right? ”

Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "You are not short of money, what do you want so much money for." ”

Kou Ji glared, stared at Chen Lin and asked, "Who would be disgusted with more money?" ”

Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji viciously and said: "Princess Baoqing is indeed the most favored princess of the official family, and the official family has prepared a lot of dowry for Princess Baoqing.

I was just stopped. ”

"Who?"

"Wang Zengbei, who wants money to die, who else can there be?"

“……”

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

Chen Lin snorted: "The official family handed over the gift list to the Ministry of Rites today, and before the Ministry of Rites could cover the heat, Wang Zeng saw it. After he read the official family's gift list, he immediately went to the official family to theorize.

threatened that the Great Song Dynasty now needs money everywhere.

Money should be used wisely.

also said that Princess Baoqing married to Handi, and it was far better to give soldiers than money.

Give money, Princess Baoqing is not localized.

Give the soldiers, you can save your life. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "That's right, now that the Korean land is in ruins, money is really not of much use. After bringing it over, I couldn't do anything but hide it. ”

Kou Ji is more knowledgeable than the Song people.

Know that the role of money is to spend, not to hide.

Now the Korean land is in ruins, and all businesses have been destroyed.

Once the money has passed, it will not be useful for a long time.

Besides, it's useless for Baoqing to bring so much money.

There is nothing else in Koufu, but there is a lot of money.

No amount of money is useless.

Chen Lin didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, and stared at Kou Ji with a stunned expression: "Didn't you just say that no one doesn't love money?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said lightly: "Since the official family has decided to give soldiers and horses, does it matter whether I love money or not?" ”

Chen Lin was speechless.

Kou Ji groaned: "Even if you can't give a large number of gold, silver and jewelry as a dowry, you have to give your own money, right?" ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he said: "Don't worry, the official family has exchanged the food and princess's mansion that were ready to be given to Princess Baoqing into money."

I'll take it with her when she leaves.

In addition, the official family turned back and issued an order.

You can leave half of the annual tribute of each year in Handi and give it to Princess Baoqing as her own money. ”

Kou Ji said with some surprise: "For the sake of Baoqing, the official family actually made a fuss about the New Year's tribute, and the prince didn't stop it?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head.

Kou Ji said with some curiosity: "How much dowry did the official family prepare for Baoqing, so that the prince could even want to pay tribute in order to stop the dowry."

Even for the first time, the official family gave a soldier? ”

"Our family has calculated, all the things add up, roughly equivalent to 10 million yuan."

Kou Ji's eyes widened little by little, and he sighed with emotion: "The official family is really rich...... I now believe that Baoqing is the most favored princess of the official family.

It is no wonder that the prince is willing to give the soldiers, and he is willing to give the armor soldiers, rather than let the officials give the dowry. ”
