Chapter 0544: Li Di's hard work, Kou Ji's enlightenment
When Li Di arrived at the main hall of the palace, night had fallen, and Liu Heng led people to open the door of the main hall with torches.
The moment the door opened, a golden light flashed in the main hall under the light of the torches.
Li Di's legs trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.
The eunuch standing next to Li Di squatted on his ass and sat on the ground.
In their shocked eyes, Liu Heng ordered someone to completely open the door to the main hall.
"This ...... So much ......"
Li Di and others knew that Kou Ji had seized a lot in Shazhou.
After all, Kou Ji was equivalent to slaughtering a medium-sized country in the Western Regions and emptied a country's wealth.
But Li Di and others didn't expect that there would be so many.
The eunuch has been to the pile sealing warehouse, and he can be sure that the money in the pile sealing warehouse is even less than this.
Li Di frequented the state treasury, and he could say very responsibly that when the state treasury had the most money, it was not worth one-tenth of the money in it.
Li Di and the eunuch stumbled into the main hall.
It wasn't until the next day, when the sun was shining, that he came out of it stunned.
When the eunuch came out, he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
Li Di had red eyes and found Kou Ji in the side hall, who was holding a family letter and reading it word by word.
After Li Di staggered into the side hall, Kou Ji was startled, quickly got up and stepped forward, and helped Li Di sit down.
Li Di grabbed Kou Ji's arm when Kou Ji was supporting him, and asked in a trembling voice: "The money in it, but all the money seized from this trip to the Western Regions?" ”
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No...... According to the rules of the imperial court, thirty percent of them have been distributed as rewards. In addition, after Zhu Neng, Li Zhaoliang, Yang Wenguang and others led the army to attack, the captured cattle, sheep, horses, and money had not yet been sent to Shazhou City. ”
Li Di asked, "The soldiers and the people have already been rewarded?" ”
Koji nodded.
Li Di continued: "So...... The money stored in the main hall is all from the imperial court? ”
Koji nodded again.
Li Di clenched his fists excitedly, "With this money, the treasury will no longer have to be empty." Some of the decrees that the imperial court needed money to carry out were finally not delayed. ”
Kou Ji pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "The Great Song Dynasty has never been poor, the poor are only the treasury ......"
Li Di said excitedly as if he hadn't heard Kou Ji's words: "We have to transport this money back as soon as possible to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court." ”
Kou Ji shook his head decisively and said, "No......"
Li Di glared at Kou Ji and asked, "Why?" ”
Kou Ji said seriously: "With such a huge amount of money, it is difficult to ensure that Qingtang does not have bad intentions when it is transported back from the front line of Qingtang." To be on the safe side, we can only wait for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to take the whole of Hexi and control the whole of Hexi, and then transport them back.
In this way, it is guaranteed that nothing goes wrong. ”
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Li Di hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, with such a huge amount of money transportation, others naturally can't believe it, they can only trust ourselves."
You instigated Zhu Neng and Li Zhaoliang to lead the army to attack Guazhou and other places, is this also the purpose? ”
Kou Ji muttered, "This is just the purpose of piggybacking. The more important purpose is the whole of Hexi. I need Hexi in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Li Di pondered: "Those fertile fields outside the city? ”
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Liangtian is just to attract more people to stay in Hexi. Make sure that the people we stay in Hexi are able to be self-sufficient. Ensure that our soldiers who remain in Hexi will no longer starve to death because of lack of food.
The most important reason is that we must take Hexi and make Hexi the horse grazing land of my Great Song Dynasty.
As long as I have the horse land in Hexi, the Great Song Dynasty.
In the future, in the face of the cavalry of Western Xia and the cavalry of Liao, there is no need to tie up his hands and feet.
Plotting against Yanyun is no longer an extravagant hope. ”
When Li Di heard this, he stood in place and thought calmly for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I didn't expect you to think so far-reaching." You are right, with the wealth of Hexi, the fertile land of Hexi, and the good horses of Hexi, I am no longer a luxury.
Now that you have made a decision, the old man will no longer interfere with your decision.
What you need the old man to do, just tell me.
In addition, all the documents you send to Bianjing can be handed over to the old man first. ”
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?" ”
Li Di said: "Many of the things you have done in the Western Regions have violated many of the rules of the imperial court. The Manchu civil and military forces will definitely impeach you without knowing the details.
You still have a long career ahead of you, and you can't be impeached and dismissed because of this.
The old man's career has ended, so the old man is not afraid of being impeached.
Your documents, through the hands of the old man, stamped with the seal given to the old man by the official family, and handed back to the court, the officials will think that it is the old man's meaning.
They want to impeach, and they will impeach the old man, not you.
You can do things in the Western Regions without your hands and feet.
All the infamy and impeachment, the old man can help you block it. ”
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "So you stopped the documents I handed to the imperial court, and also stopped the documents handed to me by the imperial court, the purpose of which is to insert a pole in the middle and help me take away all the troubles." ”
Li Di nodded without hesitation.
Kou Ji's face sank, and he said solemnly: "With your current status, if you take over these troubles, the end may not be too good." Why would you want to do this? ”
Kou Ji is a henchman of the official family, and there is another grandfather who has become a sage.
As long as he does not rebel, no matter how much trouble he causes, the court will not execute him.
Li Di is different, he has broken away from the center, has lost his authority, helped Kou Ji take all the troubles, it is very likely that under the impeachment of the hundred officials, he will lose the only remaining Jilu official on his body, and if he goes further, it is very likely that he will lose his life.
After all, when Li Di left the center, he left with infamy.
Now Zhao Zhen has not helped him wash away his infamy, and he still carries the reputation of bringing disaster to the country and the people.
A smile appeared on Li Di's face, and he said, "For the people, for Yanyun." ”
Kou Ji looked puzzled.
Li Di said with a smile: "There are not many people in the court who really do things for the people and seek benefits for the people, and you are one of them." The court has the ability to plan Yan Yun, and you are the only one who has the hope of getting Yan Yun back.
You can make the country rich, and you can also strengthen the army.
Although he is not familiar with military affairs, he can win a shocking victory.
As long as you keep standing in the court, we have the hope of recovering Yanyun. ”
After a pause, the smile on Li Di's face narrowed, and he grabbed Kou Ji's arm and said, "If you leave the court, then the court may no longer have any hope of recovering Yanyun." ”
When Koji heard this, he didn't know what to say.
He couldn't help but think of Lu You's poem.
Wang Shi set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Naiweng.
Presumably, when Lu You was writing this poem, he should be in a similar mood to Li Di.
It's just that Li Di can see hope, but Lu You can't see hope.
Li Di may have been able to see Wang Shi's feat of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun before his death.
And Lu You, until he died, was buried in the soil, and the corpse rotted into dust, and he couldn't see the day when Wang Shi set the Central Plains in the north.
Koji probably understood something.
I understood why I didn't rebel after seeing those flies and dogs in the Great Song Dynasty.
I understood that I had the opportunity to raise my arms, but I never thought about the reason for raising my arms.
That's because although the Great Song Dynasty is full of flies and dogs, there are still people who are brave and loyal, for the country and the people, they work hard, sacrifice their lives and forget death, and work hard.
He was reluctant, reluctant to destroy their unbridled loyalty.
Those flies and dogs, he has a chance, and some means to shoot to death.
But if their unbridled loyalty is destroyed, it will be gone.
Li Di saw that Kou Ji fell into a trance, and held Kou Ji's arm a little tighter, and he said to Kou Ji excitedly: "You have not experienced the battle of Lanyuan, but you have been an envoy to the Liao State.
You should know how hard those people lived under the iron hooves of the Liao State.
If you want to live comfortably in Liao, you have to forget your ancestors.
If you want to remember your ancestors, you have to be enslaved, oppressed, and live a life worse than a dog.
They shouldn't be.
Every bit of suffering they suffer is our fault.
In Shazhou, tens of thousands of our Great Song people died, and you slaughtered the nobles of the Uighurs in Shazhou, slaughtered the royal family of the Uighurs in Shazhou, and avenged them.
In the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, for decades, the number of dead people has already exceeded tens of thousands.
Aren't you going to help them get revenge? ”
Kou Ji slowly came back to his senses in Li Di's excitement, and he said categorically: "I will naturally rescue them and avenge them, but I don't need you to help me be blackened."
If the imperial court can tolerate me, I will naturally lead the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun.
If the imperial court can't tolerate me, then I will use my own methods to get back the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”
Li Di was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened in astonishment, "You can't think like that...... Your idea is dangerous......"
Li Di said in a deep voice: "There used to be countless people who thought the same as you, but after they went to Liao, they never came back. Either he was slaughtered, or he was ranked above the court of the Liao State. ”
Kou Ji frowned and said: "The court of the Liao State can't accommodate me, and I can't accommodate the court of the Liao State." ”
Li Di's eyes widened, and a terrifying thought was born in his heart, and he looked at Kou Ji with a frightened expression.
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Don't think about it, I won't do anything that is unpopular in the world." If the imperial court really can't tolerate me, I will set up a trading ground in the city-state closest to Liao.
Spend money to hire those women from the Liao Kingdom to come over and give birth to babies for the people of my Great Song Dynasty.
When they became pregnant, they were sent back to Liao.
In this way, one day, the Liao country will be all over the people of my Great Song Dynasty.
You always know, I don't have any other skills, and my ability to collect money is better than ordinary people.
As long as I give enough money, maybe those princesses and ladies of Liao Kingdom will also take the initiative to climb into my bed. ”
Li Diqiang pressed the terrifying thought in his heart, stared at his eyes and scolded: "Nonsense...... I, the Great Song Dynasty, how can I not tolerate the virtuous ministers, and I need you to do such a thing?
The blood of my Han family is noble.
How can it be easily revealed?
Every year, there are countless women from the Japanese Kingdom who come to my Great Song Dynasty to seek planting.
How many people have you seen who easily handed over their blood? ”
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "It's not that the woman of the Japanese country has made herself like a ghost, and you can't talk about it." If they look like immortals, can you bear it?
As you said just now, I have been an envoy to Liao.
When you guys arrived in Liao, I have also seen what kind of virtue they are. ”
When Li Di heard this, he scolded angrily, "It must be Xiang Minzhong, who is not ashamed, who did a shameful deed in Liaoguo, and let you see it, right?" ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about him, most of the officials in the court are the same as him."
"The old man is different from them."
“……”
Kou Ji ended the heavy topic of the two talking about with a gag, and in Li Di's righteous indignation, he asked Liu Heng to send someone to send Li Di down to rest.
After Li Di left, Kou Ji instructed Liu Heng: "Send someone to intercept our documents from Li Di, hurry up, and send them back to the imperial court." ”
Liu Heng followed Li Di into the hall just now, so he heard what Li Di said clearly.
After hearing Kou Ji's instructions, Liu Heng hesitated: "Fourth brother, since Gong Li is willing to ......"
Kou Ji didn't wait for Liu Heng to finish speaking, he glared at Liu Heng and told Liu Heng to shut up.
"Of course, you have to bear the trouble you cause. I don't need anyone else to help me with the trouble now. ”
"Even if the imperial court deposes my official because of the trouble I caused in the Western Regions, I have to return it back in a proper manner."
"They can do things without conscience, but the people of the world cannot, and neither can the officials."
"Taking Hexi, opening up trade roads, opening up tens of millions of acres of fertile land, amassing thousands of huge fortunes, and piles and piles are all great contributions that are enough to shake the Great Song Dynasty. Who can hide it, who can close their eyes and pretend not to see? ”
“……”
Kou Ji babbled a lot, dispelled Liu Heng's careful thoughts, and asked Liu Heng to go down to do things.
There was one thing he didn't tell Liu Heng.
He had just discovered something.
He found that he had an insoluble weapon of victory in his hand.
That's the years.
He was still young.
Zhao Zhen is also still young.
Those who can stand in the vertical arch hall in the court are already dying.
Even if he is dismissed from office because he gets into trouble, he can be reinstated quickly, and he will rise to the top of the court.
But the old ministers can't.
If they fall, they really fall, and they can't get up when they think about it.
With the domineering that Zhao Zhen is showing now, how can he let those things that have left the eyes of the eyes appear in his eyes again?
As long as Zhao Zhen is still an official, as long as the love between the two of them is not reduced.
Koji seems to have been invincible.
I like to be fought by hundreds of officials, so I fight with hundreds of officials.
I don't like to fight with hundreds of officials, just sit and watch them die, and just sit and watch yourself rise.
Who in the world can beat the years?
What do you care about them?
Why do you care about the officials?
Those things are not as important as the little finch in his son's crotch......
By the way, my son's name doesn't seem to have come up yet?!
Zhao Zhen won't rob me that shitty day, right?!
