Bao Zheng did not stay long in Kou Ji, only stayed for one night, and led people down the mountain early the next morning.

Bao Zheng rushed to Kou Ji's place this time, mainly to let Kou Ji recognize the house deed and land deed.

Since Kou Ji had already agreed, there was no reason for him to stay longer.

Bohai Mansion is now in ruins, and Su Xun, the prodigal son, has now reined in his form, and he sits in the temporary yamen every day and runs errands day and night.

Bao Zheng, a person who has the people in his heart and intends to benefit the people, naturally does not dare to waste a minute or a second.

When Bao Zheng left, Kou Ji gave him a ride.

Before leaving, Bao Zheng seemed to remember something, took out a book and handed it to Kou Ji.

It was a hand-copied thread-bound book.

It seems to be flipped through a lot, so the corners of the book are a little rolled up.

After Bao Zheng handed the book to Kou Ji, he didn't say anything, stepped on the horse, and left the ravine in the snow with the accompanying officials of the Bohai Mansion.

"He is a good official who can do things for the people, as long as he does not take the wrong path in the future, he should be able to achieve something."

Chen Lin didn't know when she appeared next to Kou Ji, and couldn't help but sigh when she saw Bao Zheng riding away.

Kou Ji stared at the place where Bao Zheng had left and did not speak.

The two of them watched Bao Zheng's figure disappear from sight.

Chen Lin spoke again, "Our family has to admit that you are indeed a reincarnation Bole, Di Qing and Bao Zheng are all good talents selected by you for the imperial court." In the future, as long as it is not crooked, it should be able to help the people hold up a piece of the sky. ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin with disdain, but did not speak.

The good talents he selected were not only Di Qing and Bao Zheng.

Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and other guys, that is a simple role.

They haven't entered Bianjing City yet, so as long as the people in Bianjing City don't have in-depth contact with them, they don't know what they're capable of.

Once they entered Bianjing City, they showed their abilities.

At that time, the whole Song Dynasty will know how poisonous his gaze is, and every person selected will be a good talent.

Titles such as reincarnation Bole and in-life Bole are not suitable to be addressed to him at that time.

Perhaps new words will emerge to describe him.

For example, idioms such as Kou Ji Liangcai, or Kou Ji Xuancai.

Zhao Guangyi just often held the book in his hand, and he derived an idiom that he couldn't put the book down.

He sent some charcoal to the people of Bianjing City in winter, and derived an idiom of sending charcoal in the snow.

Kou Ji felt that the light of his selection of talents for the Great Song Dynasty was more dazzling than Zhao Guangyi's holding of a scroll and sending charcoal in the snow.

So it's easy to give birth to an idiom.

Kou Ji didn't pay attention to Chen Lin, and casually opened the book left by Bao Zheng, and saw the three big characters in flying white on the book cover, Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

"Peach Blossom Spring?!"

On the book cover, the words Peach Blossom Source are written.

After reading it, Kou Ji was a little confused, and muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that this kid wrote a book for me to correct in his spare time?" Now it's not a good story, does this kid have to set a historical precedent and steal other people's jobs? ”

With doubts in his heart, Kou Ji opened the book signed Peach Blossom Spring, and after scanning it up and down, he found that he had thought badly.

After flipping through a page or two, Kou Ji saw something familiar.

After reading it carefully, Kou Ji finally understood what kind of book Bao Zheng's book was signed by Peach Blossom Spring.

A great tome that became very famous in later generations.

It covers a variety of fields such as political science, education, ethics, and philosophy.

It has a very familiar name, called "Imaginary Country".

The author is the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.

The reason why Bao Zheng signed it as Peach Blossom Spring was probably to facilitate its spread in the Great Song Dynasty.

The reason why Bao Zheng did not send it to the Heavenly Sage Pavilion in Bianjing City, but instead sent it to Kou Ji, probably felt that some of the knowledge in it would impact the sage's knowledge.

Once the saint's disciples discovered it, they might have characterized it as a heretical book.

Or simply set up a society or poetry society, and turn the door to resist it.

Bao Zheng had obviously read this book, and had carefully studied the knowledge in it, and knew that this book was a rare and good book, and the knowledge in it was a rare good knowledge, so he personally handed it over to Kou Ji, wanting Kou Ji to protect the book.

"What book?"

Chen Lin saw Kou Ji standing there silently with a book, and couldn't help but stretch his neck to look over.

Kou Ji casually stuffed the book into his arms, glanced at Chen Lin and said lightly: "A colorful Spring Palace book, if you want it, I'll ask Bao Zheng to give you a copy when you go back." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, she glared angrily, "Are you humiliating our family?!" ”

Chen Lin is not stupid, so he naturally knows that what Bao Zheng gave to Kou Ji is not a Spring Palace book.

After all, Kou Ji is not good at beauty, and he is famous in Bianjing City.

If he really likes this kind of thing, he can directly recruit a group of women into the mansion to perform a show, and he doesn't need any spring palace books at all.

Bao Zheng had a period of close contact with Zhao Xu before.

Zhao Zhen thought that Zhao Xu had taken a fancy to Bao Zheng, and secretly sent Chen Lin to investigate the details of Bao Zheng.

So Chen Lin also knew that Bao Zheng was not a womanizer.

Therefore, what Bao Zheng gave to Kou Ji must not be a Spring Palace book.

Kou Ji deliberately used the Spring Palace Book to squeeze him as a eunuch, obviously humiliating him.

In Chen Lin's angry expression, Kou Ji said lightly: "Since I know that it is not the Spring Palace Book, and I don't want to show it to you, it is naturally a secret thing."

Why do you inquire so clearly about secret things? ”

Chen Lin said angrily: "In the Great Song Dynasty, there is no secret that our family can't know. ”

Kou Ji slowly raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, his face turned slightly pale, and he said in a low voice: "Our family has lost its word, and our family will ask the official family for guilt after returning to Beijing." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and ignored him.

Chen Lin's words just now are between crossing and dying.

Even if he can pretend to be a tiger, and use Zhao Zhen's authority to despise other people in the world.

But there is one person he cannot despise, and that is the source of his prestige.

In front of Zhao Zhen, he will always be just a servant.

He said, 'There is no secret in the Great Song Dynasty that our family can't know', so where to put Zhao Zhen?

You have to know all the secrets of Zhao Zhen, so should you die?

Although Zhao Zhen has no secrets for Chen Lin now, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future.

Kou Ji left Chen Lin, stepped up the mountain, returned to the courtyard in front of his cave, glanced at Chong Shiheng, who was instructing the soldiers to dig a cave for him not far away, sighed, shook his head, and entered his cave.

The construction cost of the cave is not high, and it has the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer, so many people in the north like to use it.

Now that the army is idle anyway, it is just right to make one or two caves and replace the tents that are relatively low against the cold.

Kou Ji had a hunch that in the near future, he might have many more neighbors.

By the time they leave, there will be many caves here.

Kou Ji didn't bother to deal with this matter, after he returned to his cave, he took out the "Peach Blossom Spring" given by Bao Zheng and read it carefully.

In later life, Kou Ji was not interested in philosophy, education, or political science.

Therefore, he just flipped through the book "Ideal Country" at random, and did not study it in depth.

Now I have to use some of the things in it, and I am reading a book that is closer to the original than later generations.

Naturally, he had to study it carefully.

A book that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Because of political needs, or cultural needs, or some other factors, some will inevitably be deleted, or some private goods will be added.

Therefore, a book that has been passed down for thousands of years is likely to be different from the original work.

Kou Ji studied this book more than 900 years earlier, and what he saw in relative comparison may be closer to the original book.

After flipping through a few pages, Koji suddenly noticed something interesting.

Bao Zheng actually made annotations in the book.

The rhetoric is very sharp.

He disagrees with some of the truths that Socrates showed in the text.

The further back Kou Ji turns, the more annotations he makes.

Bao Zheng's annotations are also constantly changing.

From the sharp rhetoric at the beginning, to the end of the slow recognition, to the end, it is to evaluate this book as a masterpiece, and the author of this book is a generation.

Just everyone.

Although Bao Zheng agrees with some of the truths in this book, he remains skeptical about some of the obvious differences with the Great Song Dynasty culture.

I don't agree with some things that are very different.

The initial collision of the two cultures will inevitably produce friction, which Kou Ji can fully understand.

Since Bao Zheng was not influenced by something other than Chongyang, he did not blindly agree that all the truths in this book were right.

On the contrary, Bao Zheng held a contemptuous attitude towards some of the truths in it that were quite different from the Great Song Dynasty.

It's not that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are rampant.

But the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, and the mainstream view of the cultural circle, is like this.

Influenced by the culture of the Great Song Dynasty, people up and down the Great Song Dynasty feel it.

Except for the Song people, the others were barbarians.

For the barbarians, Bao Zheng can give everyone an evaluation, which is already very pertinent.

If it was replaced by some radical Song literati, after seeing this book, they would inevitably throw it into the brazier without hesitation, and then spit it disdainfully, and say a word arrogantly.

"The crooked heresies of the barbarians are really unsightly. If the soldiers of my Great Song Dynasty are fortunate enough to descend on you, I can be merciful and tell you what is the truth. ”

No way, the ancients were so arrogant.

The Great Song Dynasty was bullied by the Liao State for decades, and the Song people still felt that the Liao people were barbarians.

When the strong Han Dynasty was prosperous, the ancients were even more arrogant.

In their eyes, except for the Han and Tang people, everyone else can be called a barbarian, and that is all praise.

Because if you are not a barbarian, you can only be reduced to their slaves, or the flesh under their iron hooves.

Kou Ji spent three days reading Bao Zheng's translated book and Bao Zheng's annotations.

The time is a bit short, and Kou Ji can only read through the dates, not to mention intensive research, because there is no time.

Three days.

Yang Wenguang, Gao Chugong and others led the soldiers and horses here one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed on the mountain and down the mountain, and the scene was very spectacular.

Banners are lined up, and iron armor is rampant.

Anyone who sees it has to be amazed.

What a majestic and mighty soldier and horse.

What a powerful and trembling state.

Kou Ji didn't have the leisure to see what flags were standing there.

After Yang Wenguang and the others arrived, they filled his cave in an instant.

When Yang Wenguang inspected the battlefield after the war, he was slashed by the enemy who pretended to be dead, and pulled a cut in his back.

He couldn't live in tents that were poorly shielded.

Kou Ji ordered someone to arrange a bed in his cave for Yang Wenguang to live in.

Seeing this, Liu Heng moved a bed for himself and placed it in Kou Ji's cave.

Then Zhu Neng and Gao Chu Gong did the same, and also set up a bed for themselves in Kou Ji's cave.

Kou Ji couldn't refuse if he wanted to.

A couple of guys have a good reason.

Liu Heng felt that everyone was a brother, and they were fighting outside, so they should live together.

Zhu Neng felt that everyone was their own person, and there was no need to be so angry.

Gao felt that he was getting older, and if he continued to live in a tent, he might freeze to death.

Kou Ji watched as a group of wicked people took over his cave.

After the wicked have settled down.

The military giants, who controlled nearly eighty percent of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, gathered together.

A meeting that was enough to make all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty and the opposition feel numb when they saw it was officially opened.

After all, a few of them have a force in their hands that is powerful enough to subvert all the nations under the stars.

Including the Great Song.

It's just that the giants obviously don't have the consciousness of the giants.

They gathered together in the cave, some squatting, some sitting, some lying on their stomachs, some wrapped in quilts, and some with their feet buckled.

"Gao Di Gong, you are also the chief general of the first army, do you want to face your feet in front of so many people?"

Kou Ji stared at Gao Di Gong, who was still steaming on his feet, and couldn't help but scold.

Gao Chu Gong looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water and said: "The toes are frostbitten, itchy, and I have to scratch them." ”

Kou Ji resisted the urge to rush up and strangle him, snorted coldly, and said, "The battle in Shangjing Dao has been understood?" ”

Yang Wenguang lay on the bed and said, "Basically, there are no living people." The people left by the Wulie Department to take care of the house are quite fierce. When they meet us, they will fight with us, and few of them will surrender.

The wound on my back was drawn by the men of the Uri tribe.

So we can only clean up Kamikyo Road. ”

Liu Heng squatted in the corner of the cave, stretched, yawned, and added, "The soft bones should have been brought to the capital by the leaders of the Wulie Tribe." ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I don't care if there are living people in Shangjing Dao, I just need to make sure that Shangjing Dao is taken, and we are all Song Tu behind us."

Have you found the treasure you were asked to find? ”

Yang Wenguang and Gao Chugong glanced at each other, and they all looked at Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng crossed his arms and said, "The people of the Wulie Department didn't hide at all, so after we wiped out the remnants of the Wulie Ministry, we found the money."

The treasure of the Tuoba Department has also been found, but it is not the one we found.

It was found by Zhang Fangping, the prefect of Gumeng Prefecture.

He wanted to leave 30% for the people of Gumeng Mansion to live, but we didn't agree.

It's up to you to decide.

Most of the treasures of other tribes have also been found.

Only Ayanbu's was left unfounded. ”

Gao Chu Gong pouted and said: "We occupied Jingnan Province of Liaoguo a little early, and there were not many prisoners caught, and there were no important people in it, and we have been interrogated for a long time, and there is no reason for the trial." ”

Chong Shiheng said in a deep voice: "Then you can only start from the leader of the Ayan tribe outside the upper capital." ”

After saying this, Chong Shiheng looked at Chen Lin, "Do you want your people to try it and see if you can tie up the leader of the Ayan tribe." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, "The people of our family are just people, not gods. It's more reliable to go to the army to kill people, and it is impossible to tie up a big living person. ”

Kou Ji glared at Chong Shiheng, "Isn't it difficult for you to be a strong man?" ”

Chong Shiheng smiled dryly, "I'll just say it casually, in case Chen Lin's people can do it." ”

Chen Lin snorted coldly and said, "Is that just a casual thing?" That's talking but brains. ”

It is far more difficult to tie up the commander of an army in the midst of thousands of armies than to completely annihilate an army of ten thousand.

It's almost impossible to complete.

Unless Chen Lin's subordinates know how to escape from the ground.

"Okay, I won't mention the matter of Ayanbu's treasure hiding for the time being. Anyway, the leader of the Ayan tribe is outside the capital city, and after the beginning of spring next year, as long as we capture him alive, we can ask about the hidden treasure.

The money is still ours in the end, and there is no escape. ”

Kou Ji scolded, and Chen Lin and Chong Shiheng closed their mouths.

Kou Ji continued: "All the money and property seized this time will be traded to Chen Lin in three transactions, and he will send someone back to the imperial court. The rest will be distributed to the soldiers below according to their military merits. ”

When Chong Shiheng and the others heard that they were going to divide the money, there was no joy on their faces.

With their current merits, after the class teacher returns to the court, the court will definitely have a heavy reward.

So they don't have to worry about the money, and they don't have to fight with their own people for a piece of money.

"The old rule, the money was sent to the soldiers and let them carry it for a few days. Then I will send someone from Yizizipu to find them and help them send the money back.

When the time comes, the officials will send their money to their families. ”

Chong Shiheng and the others nodded, and there was no objection.

They have become accustomed to this way of distributing rewards.

I was also used to helping the soldiers send money home.

The soldiers also trusted them, because no one in the court dared to beat them for their money.

In order to let the soldiers' lives fall into the hands of his family.

Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng and others, there are more than a few hundred people who have been cut back and forth.

Nowadays, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they are corrupt, no one dares to touch the soldiers' money.

If anyone moves, the gods can't save them.

Chen Lin also had no objection to Kou Ji's approach.

Although it was a dangerous move for Kou Ji to distribute rewards to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it was Zhao Zhen who finally delivered the money to the families of the soldiers.

Zhao Zhen is the one who finally gives grace.

Seeing that no one objected, Kou Ji continued: "Then so be it. It's all gone. ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, but in the end, there were only Di Qing, Chong Shiheng, and Chen Lin who left the cave.

The rest of the guys have already settled in Koji's cave.

After that, a few days.

Everything was uneventful.

There is almost nothing else in the army except for picnics, snow appreciation, drills, and sleeping.

Until a letter sent from Bianjing City fell into the hands of Kou Ji.

A group of people got together.

Kou Ji took the letter sent by Zhao Zhen and glared at Chong Shiheng and the others who were gathered in the cave again, "The official family gave me a private letter, not an official document, what are you all doing here?" ”

Chong Shiheng smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry, so I'm here to take a look." ”

Di Qing followed: "Now that the snow is closing the road, we have nothing to do. I heard that the official family had sent someone to deliver a letter to you, so I came to see if the official family had sent us any other errand. ”

The others didn't speak, but their thoughts were similar to those of Chong Shiheng and Di Qing.

Kou Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes, walked aside, opened the letter sent by Zhao Zhen, and after a cursory glance, he roughly understood the purpose of Zhao Zhen's letter to him.

Putting away the letter, Kou Ji rubbed his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Chong Shiheng and the others: "The official family has no errands for you, but it was that kid from my family who got into trouble and angered the official family, and the official family sent a letter to me to hold me accountable." ”

When Chong Shiheng and the others heard this, they immediately became interested.

"My nephew, at a young age, can actually anger the official family, it's really amazing."

Chong Shiheng looked serious and admired.

Zhu Neng nodded approvingly: "When I was as old as him, I was still messing around in the countryside. ”

Di Qing praised implicitly, "Tiger fathers have no dogs." ”

Gao Chu Gong groaned: "I'm more curious, how did he anger the official family?" How dare you anger the officials? ”

After Gao Ji Gong said this, everyone's eyes fell on Kou Ji.

Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji with a smile and said, "Kou Shumi, can you tell you about the great achievements of Kou Shiyu?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chong Shiheng and the others, and finally his gaze fell on Yang Wenguang.

"This matter is related to the Yang family. Since we recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the old lady of the Yang family has been sitting alone in the tea shed in Bianjing City, and she has been chanting the name of the old general Yang.

Why the old lady of the Yang family is like this, you should be able to figure it out in your hearts. ”

Kou Ji mentioned the old lady of the Yang family, and the laughter on everyone's faces disappeared instantly, replaced by a solemn face, and their eyes fell on Yang Wenguang in unison.

Yang Wenguang closed his eyes in pain and said in a low voice: "It's me who is not filial, and I failed to stay in front of my grandmother to fulfill my filial piety......"

Chong Shiheng shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and you are not to blame for this matter. ”

Yang Wenguang gritted his teeth, shook his head and did not speak again.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "The old lady of the Yang family is waiting for the bones of the old general Yang to return to Bianjing City. The kid of my family and the kid of the Yang family, after knowing this, couldn't bear to watch the old lady of the Yang family waiting, so they set up a bureau to escape from Bianjing City and came to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

They wanted to welcome back the bones of the old general Yang, fulfilling the wish of the old lady of the Yang family. ”

After Chong Shiheng and the others heard this, their faces changed.

Di Qing was even more stunned and said, "They are trying to do bad things with good intentions." ”

Chong Shiheng and the others nodded in unison.

It has been a few months since the Great Song Dynasty received Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

If he had the intention to fulfill the old lady of the Yang family, he would have sent back the bones of the old general Yang a long time ago.

There is a reason why it has not been delivered for a long time.

One public, one private.
