It can be said that as long as Kou Ji doesn't do anything to harm the country and the people in Tongtai Pass, no one can do anything about him.

Zhao Zhen's 'fourth brother' is not a false perfunctory, it is really treating Kou Ji as a brother.

Kou Ji's identity, status, and treatment today are no different from the princes who came out of the same cabinet as Taizu Taizong.

"Go back and think of a way to transfer Kou Boy over?"

Lu Yijian thought about it for a long time and decided to pull Koji to protect himself.

Cao Wei rolled his eyes and sighed, "You haven't been with Kou Ji for long, why don't you know him at all?" The Liao people were able to appear in the northwest and slaughter the people of our Great Song Dynasty, which had nothing to do with Western Xia.

He was now out of Beijing for less than a few months before he defeated the Liao.

Now that he is in power, does the official family have any intention of calling him back to Beijing?

If he doesn't go to trouble the Tangut people, I will have your surname Lu.

He is the kind of person who will repay him, and when a thief bites him, he has no bones left to swallow the thief. ”

Lu Yijian was shocked, "He started a war in the northwest, wouldn't that accelerate the consumption of money in the treasury, then our side ......?"

Before Lu Yijian's words were finished, Cao Wei shook his head and interrupted him, "Don't worry, that kid will not only repay him, but also make no profit." Even if he smashes the northwest, he won't consume too much money in the treasury. Not only that, maybe the imperial court can make a lot of money. ”

Lu Yijian blinked and stared at Cao Wei in a daze.

Cao Wei sighed and said, "Don't look at me like that, what I'm saying is the truth." You civil servants have entered the court, and you are trying to reduce expenditure. But after he entered the court, he was trying his best to open source.

Kasai is an example of this.

In our eyes, Hexi is a bitter cold place.

But in his eyes, it was money everywhere.

Those barren lands in Hexi were turned into fertile fields for grain production by him.

Every year, tens of millions of quintals of grain are delivered to the imperial court.

He went to the Northwest, and it will probably be the same. ”

The direction in which the gaze is looked can lead to completely different results.

When the treasury is empty, the able officials in the court can see that they are throttling.

But what Koji saw was open source.

In order to fill the treasury, the capable officials in the court offended people everywhere and tried to reduce expenditure.

But what about Koji?

In the case of ensuring that the court and himself are rich, he took a group of people to get rich.

How much money is in Zhao Zhen's small treasury, Lu Yijian doesn't know much, but Cao Wei knows it clearly.

Because his niece is the queen, the queen also has the key to a small vault given by Zhao Zhen.

Empress Cao once revealed to Cao Wei that Zhao Zhen's small treasury had more money than the national treasury.

One can imagine how clever Kou Ji's open-source methods are.

Who wouldn't love a man who can make a fortune with everyone?

Even if Zhao Zhen doesn't miss Kou Ji and his brotherhood, he will look at the full small treasury and regard Kou Ji as his favorite minister.

With Lu Yijian and others as comparisons, Zhao Zhen has even more reason to regard Kou Ji as a favored minister.

The official Zhao Zhen followed Lu Yijian and others, and he was reluctant to drink even a bowl of mutton soup.

Follow Kou Ji, there is meat to eat, the two are compared, who to believe and who to favor, isn't that clear at a glance?

Not to mention that the official Zhao Zhen is kind to Kou Ji and has brotherhood.

Even if it is a different emperor, in the face of such a courtier as Kou Ji, it is also favored.

Like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, who have the power of life and death in his hands, he will also greet him with a smile in the face of a courtier like Kou Ji.

Lu Yijian pondered Cao Wei's words for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Western Xia is different from that in Hexi. Hexi is vast and sparsely populated, and he is naturally profitable. There are few people in the Western Xia land, but there is not so much land for him to seek benefits. ”

Cao Wei stared at Lu Yijian strangely, "The hundreds of thousands of people in Shazhou City probably never existed......"

Lu Yijian's eyes widened, "He really dares to ......"

Cao Wei didn't wait for Lu Yijian to say anything, so he said decisively: "He has done it all once, what else is there to dare to do?" Whoever says that what he did hurt the peace of heaven and heaven, do you believe that the soldiers and the people who were assigned to the land would take advantage of the darkness of the night to touch his house and take off his head. ”

Lu Yijian pursed his lips and did not speak.

Cao Wei said this, he naturally believed it.

For the people and soldiers, that is life.

Kou Ji gave land to those people and soldiers in Baozhou, Hexi and other places, then he was a Buddha in Baozhou, Hexi and other places.

Those who are conceited and chivalrous, and those who regard Kou Ji as a Buddha of all families, and work hard for Kou Ji, they will not blink.

Cao Wei saw that Lu Yijian was silent, so he said to Lu Yijian earnestly: "You can't treat Kou Ji as a junior anymore. What he has is no longer lost to any of you.

What I can see, you can see.

The reason why you haven't taken a serious look at what Koji has behind is because you always think of Koji as a junior.

I always feel that Kou Ji, a junior, is not as good as you in terms of achievements.

In fact, now Kou Ji is qualified and has the strength to be on an equal footing with you.

When he reaches your age, he can slap you to death with one hand. ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "Wouldn't that be the power leaning towards the government and the opposition......

Cao Wei said nonchalantly: "So what? He never broke the rules when he did things, and he never forgot to share the benefits of the official family. The greater his power and strength, the greater the power and strength of the official family.

When he was in power, the official family was not inferior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

Therefore, the official family will not worry about him rebelling.

He doesn't have to worry about the officials being jealous of him.

As long as his friendship with the official family remains unchanged, he will always be invincible.

At this point, he is smarter than any of us.

I was much older than him, but I had to obey him.

You should obey him too. ”

After a pause, Cao Wei sighed: "Kou Gong has retired after success, and he will definitely become a saint and an ancestor after a hundred years." If he follows Kou Gong, a hundred years later, I am afraid that he will not lose to Kou Gong.

One door and two saints, the Confucian Temple was changed to the Kou Temple, I'm afraid it is possible.

How can people be unconvinced. ”

Lu Yijian stared at Cao Wei in horror, "He is less than thirty years old now, how can he calculate what will happen in a hundred years?" The Confucian Temple was changed to the Kou Temple, and you look up to him too much. Even if the imperial court agrees, the scholars of the world will not agree. ”

Lu Yijian felt that Cao Wei's words were too ridiculous.

The Temple of Confucius, inherited for thousands of years, stands tall.

It is a holy place in the hearts of all readers in the world.

That hole character, even if it is Liu, Li, and Zhao, cannot be replaced, let alone Kou.

Moreover, Kou Ji is less than thirty years, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, how can he become a saint and an ancestor.

Cao Wei was stunned and said with a smile: "I'll just say it casually, you still take it seriously." The Temple of Confucius became the Temple of Kou, which was naturally impossible. But there are two more sages surnamed Kou in the Confucian Temple, it's always possible, right? ”

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

Cao Wei is right in one sentence, that is, he, Wang Zeng and others have always regarded Kou Ji as a junior.

No matter how much Koji has achieved, as long as his status does not exceed theirs, they feel that Koji is inferior to them.

It's not that he, Lu Yijian, has this kind of thinking alone.

This is true of all the elders in the world.

That's why there are sayings such as 'I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten rice', 'I have walked more bridges than you have walked', and 'you are a junior, what do you know'.

Many elders always like to take these words out when teaching their juniors.

They always feel that no matter how good the juniors are, they are not as good as themselves.

Lu Yijian was also influenced by this kind of thinking.

Now that Cao Wei helped him uncover the leaves that were hidden in front of him, he realized that this kind of words didn't seem to be applied to Kou Ji.

With Kou Ji's current status, as long as he doesn't toss around blindly in the future, and enters the inner court safely, it will be easy.

With the enterprising spirit of the Great Song Dynasty today, as long as there is no accident and the Great Song Dynasty becomes stronger, it is inevitable.

Da Song became stronger in Kou Ji's hands, even if Kou Ji didn't do anything, he also had a share of the credit.

If he reaches Kou Zhun's current age, he will choose to retire after success.

The reputation of Kou Zhun is close to the current one, and it is inevitable.

Kou Zhun can become a sage admired by all people, why can't he?

Lu Yijian had already approved Cao Wei's words in his heart, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, "During my tenure as the Pingzhang of Tongzhongshu, my Great Song Dynasty treasury was full, the people were rich, and countless territories were opened.

I, Lu Yijian, will not lose to their ancestors and grandchildren.

It's just a matter of retirement.

Who wouldn't?

When my Great Song Dynasty recovered Yanyun, and after I was sixty years old, I also chose to resign.

When the time comes, their Kou ancestors will become saints and become ancestors, and naturally I Lu Yijian will be indispensable. ”

Lu Yijian glanced at Cao Wei, "It's you, you don't have a chance to compete with us in your life." ”

Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian and said sarcastically: "Compared with Kou Gong, you are enterprising." But compared to a junior in Kou Ji, aren't you ashamed? ”

Lu Yijian said very indifferently: "You have said that Kou Ji's current status is already on an equal footing with me." Why can't I compare to him? Above the court, it doesn't mean that whoever is older is powerful. ”

Lu Yijian scolded Cao Wei with Cao Wei's words, but Cao Wei was stunned and couldn't say a word.

Cao Wei glared at Lu Yijian viciously several times before snorting, "Let's win the battle in front of us first." Whether you Lu Yijian will become a saint and become an ancestor, or whether you will be stinking for 10,000 years, it all depends on the battle in front of you. ”

Lu Yijian glared at Cao Wei and said, "You just have to fight in the front, and I will help you block the cold words in the back." If I, the Lu family, were easy to bully, I wouldn't be able to dominate one door and two slaughters.

If someone dares to make waves and ruin the reputation of my Lu clan, then I will dare to punish his nine clans. ”

Cao Wei didn't say a word, and complimented him very decisively: "Lu Xiang is mighty......"

Lu Yijian glared at Cao Wei and scolded: "You are not a good thing." You deliberately used the ancestors of the Kou clan to provoke me, just so that I could help you block the cold arrows from behind.

You know in your heart that the one who can help you block those cold arrows is me, except for Kou Ji. ”

Cao Wei said righteously: "But you mentioned Kou Ji first, and I didn't mention him first." ”

Lu Yijian snorted coldly: "It's true that I mentioned Kou Ji first, but you pushed the boat down the river and took the opportunity to provoke me." I remember what you said clearly, do you want me to repeat it to you? ”

Cao Wei smiled dryly, "It's good if I'm provoking you, you don't have to help me block the arrow." ”

Lu Yijian scolded angrily: "Get out, you and I are now both prosperous and loss-oriented." I won't help you block the arrows, and if you die, I will have to be buried with you. ”

Lu Yijian could have left with his hands and replaced Wang Zeng with Tongtai Pass.

Let Wang Zeng take the risk in his place.

But he couldn't let go of the temptation of becoming an ancestor and becoming an ancestor.

He Lu Yi is a simple man, not seeking profit, but seeking fame.

Now that there is an opportunity to seek fame, how could he miss it.

Yanyun is a disease in the hearts of everyone in the Great Song Dynasty.

If he had assisted Cao Wei, he would have cured his illness.

Then everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, who would ignore his merits?

Sitting in Tongtaiguan, there are risks, but the benefits are greater.

Naturally, he won't let it out for no reason.

If he were the kind of cautious person, he would not take refuge in Liu E, nor would he calculate the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty with Li Di.

Cao Wei grabbed Lu Yijian's lifeline, so that Lu Yijian could help him block the arrows.

Cao Wei's calculation of Lu Yijian is actually a little inauthentic.

But he had to.

Taizong and Zhenzong, father and son, cheated their father and son.

He was really afraid that Zhao Zhen would also pit him at a critical time.

It doesn't matter if he's dead.

But if the Northern Expedition fails this time, whether the Great Song Dynasty has a chance or has the courage to do it again, no one can say.

If the Song Dynasty can't recover Yanyun, then the person who wrote history will put the word general on his head, and he will be restless under Jiuquan.

As a Song general, he can't take back Yanyun.

Then the word general fell on him, and he deserved it.

After Cao Wei explained that Lu Yijian helped him block the arrows, he completely let go of his heart and devoted himself to the war.

Just as he expected.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu does have the posture of stumbling down.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu went out of Youzhou City for twenty miles, camped on the spot, and sent people to send out dozens of wills at the same time.

Each one was for the lesser tribes who did not go with him.

The content of dozens of decrees is much the same.

Mobilize troops, levy food.

This victory is not invincible, and his move will not do much harm to the Liao State.

The small tribes attached to the Great Liao have been evacuated of warriors and grain, and the threat to the Great Liao will be minimized.

If the warriors of the small tribes die on the battlefield against the Song State, the small tribes will completely lose their threat to the Great Liao.

If he didn't die, a big battle with the Song State would also deplete the strength of the small tribes.

Whether it is to take the opportunity to co-opt or completely exterminate, it will become a breeze for him.

The reason why he was able to become the Emperor of Liao and be able to lead Da Liao to dominate the four seas was not because of his blind brute force and the bravery of Da Liao's iron hooves.

The reason why he was able to lead Da Liao to dominate the four seas was because of his wisdom.

The current situation seems to be very bad for Da Liao.

But he was able to rely on his wisdom to find the beneficial side of Da Liao from the bad situation and make use of it.

Once the Great Liao absorbs or exterminates those small tribes, the Great Liao will completely become the Great Liao of the Khitan Eight Tribes.

His power will be further strengthened, and his dominance over the territory under his command will be further strengthened.

Da Liao will also become more cohesive as a result.

A plate of scattered sand is full of great liao will never be the strongest great liao.

The strongest Great Liao is the Great Liao that is simply made up of the Khitan Eight Clans.
