Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zhen mentioned the official affairs of the Wu De Division, not the Wu De Division.

This shows that Zhao Zhen listened to his words, and Zhao Zhen did not insist on letting the eunuch take charge of the Wude Division.

If Zhao Zhen really insisted on letting the eunuch take charge of the Wude Division, Kou Ji would inevitably have to plot behind his back.

Kou Ji just pressed the matter of the harem to interfere in politics, and he didn't want to see the eunuchs interfere in politics.

Kou Ji pretended to think about it for a moment or two, and smiled at Zhao Zhen: "The minister can't think of a suitable candidate for a while. The minister felt that Wu Desi was the eyes and ears of the officials, and the candidates for Wu Desi's official affairs should be dictatorial by the officials. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was also stunned.

In the past, he asked Kou Ji, and Kou Ji always answered his questions.

Today did not answer his question, but skillfully avoided his own question.

Zhao Zhen thought to himself for a while, and felt that Kou Ji might be avoiding suspicion.

Wu De Division and Imperial City Division are his eyes and ears.

Liu Heng, the head of the Imperial City Division, is Kou Ji's best brother.

If Kou Ji wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Imperial City Division, it was easy.

If he is the leader of the Martial Arts Division, he will be recommended by Kou Ji.

Nakoji could obscure his ears and eyes at any time.

Kou Ji probably saw this too, so he didn't recommend a candidate for Wu Desi's official affairs.

Come to mind.

Zhao Zhen was a little moved in his heart.

Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandchildren did their best for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty.

According to the merits of their ancestors and grandchildren, even if they asked him for something excessive, he would definitely agree.

From his accession to the throne to the present, Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandsons have not begged him for anything.

He didn't ask for a convenience in front of himself for his own selfish interests.

On the contrary, it is constantly adding bricks and tiles to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen felt something, and opened his mouth and said: "The fourth brother doesn't have to shy away from it, the fourth brother I trust the most." ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the love of the official family." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and asked, "...... candidate for the official affairs of the Wude Division?"

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, he felt that Zhao Zhen might not have any suitable candidates in his hands except for Chen Lin, so he asked him again and again.

Kou Ji said in a low voice: "If the official family does not have a suitable candidate, they can temporarily vacate the position of the Wude Division, first set up a Wude Division, or promote, temporarily take charge of the Wude Division."

When the official family has the right person in their hands, it is not too late to appoint it. ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Ji insisted on refusing to nominate the official candidate of Wu Desi, nodded slightly regretfully, and did not mention this matter again.

Kou Ji and Chen Lin did not speak again, and silently accompanied Zhao Zhenlong's side.

Repeat hundreds of steps.

Zhao Zhen suddenly spoke again, "There is news coming back from Shazhou. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why doesn't the minister know?" ”

Zhao Zhen said with a little complaint: "You have been nesting in the mansion in recent days, and you refuse to go to court." Some of the secret music handed back by Shazhou, you naturally don't know.

It's impossible for me to send it for you to review when I review the tantric recitals, right? ”

The look on Kou Ji's face froze, and he smiled dryly: "It's the minister's fault, and I ask the official family to forgive me." ”

Kou Ji thought about it for a while, and found that he had been running around in the Wenchang Academy in recent days, and he didn't go to the court, nor did he deliberately pay attention to some secret music in the court.

It's a bit of a dereliction of duty indeed

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, the Taishi took you away from my side and let you run for the Wenchang Academy, also to help the imperial court create a place to cultivate talents as soon as possible."

Also for the imperial court. ”

Kou Ji smiled.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand again, asking the soldiers who were following Yulongzhi to stay away from the dragon, and then whispered: "The news from Shazhou is not very optimistic. ”

Kou Ji groaned: "Why is it not optimistic? ”

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Since the Western Xia conquered the Ganzhou Uighurs and occupied the two places of Western Liang and Xuanhua under the rule of the Ganzhou Uighurs, the road from my Great Song Dynasty to the Shazhou Uighurs has been cut off.

If I want to go to the Uighurs in Shazhou, I can only take the Qingtang road.

I gave the Qingtang Jiaoluo a decree, and the Jiaoluo also agreed to borrow the way, and provided two roads for us to choose.

One road is along the Daxue Mountain, all the way to the northwest, to the end of the Daxue Mountain, is Shazhou.

The other road is to go down along Taoshui, cross Jishi Mountain, cross most of the Qingtang, cross Huangtou Hui, and arrive in Shazhou. ”

After Zhao Zhen's words were finished, two roadmaps appeared in Kou Ji's mind.

The big snow mountain in Zhao Zhen's mouth is the famous Qilian Mountain in later generations.

In terms of distance, the first road is undoubtedly the fastest and most convenient.

Because the first route is almost a straight line, after leaving the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, go straight along the northwest, and after reaching the end of the Great Snow Mountain, it is Shazhou.

The other road is more than three times as far as the first one.

It is necessary to go south along Taoshui first, after arriving at Jishi Mountain, then go west, then go to the end of Jishi Mountain, go northwest, go out of Qingtang, cross Huangtou Hui Territory, and arrive at Shazhou.

The reason why the second road is so detoured is also related to Qingtang.

In addition to the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty can go west along the Great Snow Mountain, they can actually go up along the Huangshui River and cross Hezhou, Miaochuan City, Zongge City, and Qingtang City.

Correct.

Qingtang City is now the new capital of Qingtang.

Jiaoguo Luo would never allow the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty to enter Qingtang City.

That's why the second path he gave became so winding.

Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Neng and his entourage chose the first road and went west along the Great Snow Mountain?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, and said with a solemn expression: "The first road seems to be short, but the process of passing through it is far more complicated than the second road. Li Yuanhao of Western Xia led his army to exterminate the Ganzhou Uighurs, and sent people to drive some remnants of the Ganzhou Uighurs to defeat them, constantly harassing Qingtang.

The intention was to hold Qingtang back and prevent Qingtang from interfering in the war between the Western Xia and the Uighurs in Shazhou.

Qingtang was tired of being disturbed, so he sent a large army to garrison along the Daxue Mountain.

The soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty passed through the Great Snow Mountain, and they were not less disturbed by the soldiers and horses of Xixia and Qingtang.

There were many losses along the way.

After the army arrived under the rule of the Huangtou Hui, it was severely attacked by the Huangtou Huihui and the Western Xia coalition army.

From my Great Song Dynasty to Shazhou.

My Great Song soldiers and horses lost nearly 5,000 men before they arrived. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "The yellow head returned to the Western Xia? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Xue Tian's letter said that the reason why Huangtou Hui was able to join the Western Xia coalition army was to plunder our army's baggage. ”

Kou Ji's brows furrowed even tighter, "The Uighurs in Ganzhou have been broken, and the Uighurs in Shazhou are also in danger. Huangtou Hui actually helped Xixia deal with my Great Song Dynasty, it's just stupid, and the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, don't they understand? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Who knows......"

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "A bunch of things that are eye-catching. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and sighed: "No one is well-intentioned." ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "The soldiers and horses of Qingtang, on the edge of the snowy mountain, are constantly harassing our army, I am afraid that they want to force our army to take the second way." Jiao Guluo wants to use my Da Song's hand to help him try the depth of the yellow head Hui. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "The privy envoy Gao Chugong also said the same. Thankfully, the soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty have arrived in Shazhou, and assisted the Guiyi army in Shazhou to hold Guazhou. ”

"Suzhou has been captured by Western Xia?"

Kou Ji asked.

Zhao Zhen nodded, "After my Great Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses arrived in Shazhou, they were invited out of Shazhou by Cao Xianshun, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, and rushed to Yumen Pass to fight. It's just that the Western Xia Iron Cavalry is fierce, and the soldiers and horses of my Great Song Dynasty suffered a sullen loss at Yumen Pass, and had to be forced to retreat to Guazhou, taking advantage of the city wall of Guazhou to resist the attack of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry. ”

Kou Ji's brows furrowed.

From Zhao Zhen's words, it is not difficult for Kou Ji to hear that Cao Xianshun is not a good thing to make the Guiyi Army.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Previously, Cao Xianshun, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, sent an envoy to my Great Song Dynasty, and asked my Great Song Dynasty to send two more reinforcements to aid Shazhou and help them repel the Western Xia attack.

In addition, I also asked my Great Song Neng to rush to help Shazhou with a batch of grain. ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "I don't owe him Da Song. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said with a wry smile: "Deputy Privy Envoy Cao, that's what he said. ”

After a pause, Zhao Zhen said again: "It's just that Xue Tian and Lu Yijian don't think so." They felt that since the imperial court had agreed to rush to help Shazhou, it should rush to the end.

Second reinforcements should be sent.

But the matter of rushing to help food cannot be agreed.

Li Di said that it is not impossible to gallop to help food, but Cao Xianshun, the festival of the Guiyi Army, must be exchanged for horses. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "People didn't agree. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded heavily.

If Cao Xianshun, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, had agreed to Li Di's proposal, Zhao Zhen would not have sighed here.

Zhao Zhen continued: "Doctor Yu Shi and others asked to replace Zhu Neng and send another general to take over Zhu Neng's position, but I did not agree. Now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and they are worried about the leaders of the Second Route Reinforcements.

Do you have any people to recommend? ”

Kou Ji thought about it for a while, didn't shirk it again, and said bluntly: "Yang Wenguang! ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Yang Wenguang wants to guard in Baozhou to prevent the Liao people from invading south." ”

Kou Ji Zhengse said: "When Di Qing led the Tiger Army, return to Baozhou. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then let Yang Wenguang rush to Shazhou to help." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji and said, "Lu Yijian recommended Liu Ping as the supervisor, what do you think?" ”

Kou Ji was puzzled: "Liu Ping? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Lu Yi is referred to as Liu Ping, who is not only a good person, but also very brave, and once killed five bandits by himself. Liu Ping not only knows martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war, with him as the supervising army, Yang Wenguang should be able to make achievements after he arrives in Shazhou. ”

Kou Ji was startled after listening to Zhao Zhen's words.

Zhao Zhen only said Liu Ping's name, and Kou Ji really didn't know who Liu Ping was.

But after Zhao Zhen mentioned that Liu Ping had killed five bandits by himself, Kou Ji immediately knew who Liu Ping was.

Lu Yijian praised Liu Ping as a flower, and he should have been deceived by Liu Ping.

This man is embarrassed.

If Kou Ji remembers correctly, this person will rely on his bravery in the future, break away from the civilian group, and become a military general, and he is also the kind of Confucian general who is very popular in the Great Song Dynasty.

It is recorded in the history books.

This man was the trigger for the Battle of Mikawaguchi.

If he hadn't listened to the dissuasion and was greedy for merit, he would not have introduced the Great Song soldiers and horses into Sanchuankou.

It will not let the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty be defeated in Sanchuankou.

"The minister thought that Liu Ping was just a servant of the imperial history, and it was difficult to take on this important responsibility. It is more appropriate to have Fan Zhongyan as the supervising army. Before entering Beijing, Fan Zhongyan served as a supervisor and pusher in the army, and was far more experienced than Liu Ping.

The imperial court chose the supervising army, not the chief general.

Being brave or not being brave is secondary.

The most important thing is to be loyal enough to the official family, and the second is to be able to understand military affairs. ”

In order to avoid Yang Wenguang being harmed by Liu Ping, Kou Ji decisively launched Fan Zhongyan.

Zhao Zhen listened to Kou Ji's words, thought about it for a while, and nodded slowly, "Then let Yang Wenguang be the main general, and Fan Zhongyan will be the supervisor, and you can lead the troops to help Shazhou." ”

Zhao Zhen decided on this matter, so he asked Chen Lin to pass the decree.

After Chen Lin left, Zhao Zhen did not continue to talk to Kou Ji.

Because Zhao Zhen's dragon has entered the scope of Wenchang's private school.

The dragon is the first to go.

Three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, the stone road leading to the Wenchang School at the entrance of Wenchang Private School is strictly guarded.

The group followed the stone path to the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Zhen got off the dragon and led Queen Cao and Zhang Jieyu to step on the stone steps.

After reaching the halfway point of the mountain, I saw that the famous Confucians, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty had already gathered together, and they were bowing down and waiting for him.

Kou Ji led Zhao Zhen and his party to sit down on the high platform.

Kou Zhun led everyone and saluted Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen gave gifts to Kou Zhun and others, on behalf of the royal family, he gave many things to the Wenchang Academy.

It also includes the previous promise to use the word Jiaozi to shop money and fund the Wenchang Academy.

Kou Ji discussed this matter with Li Di, and also informed Li Di of Kou Zhun's threat.

After Li Di learned Kou Zhun's words, he no longer stopped the matter.

After Zhao Zhen gave it generously, Kou Zhun took everyone to give gifts.

And then.

One by one, the famous Confucians, holding one by one congratulatory fu, recited and chanted.

It lasted for an hour.

An hour has passed.

The Wenchang School Museum was opened.

Su Xun, as a little mouse, was the first to appear in the examination room of the opening assessment of the Wenchang Academy.

In full view.

Su Xun walked to the middle of the examination room of the school hall with great trepidation, faced everyone, and saluted Zhao Zhen first.

Then he saluted Kou Zhun and the others, and drank highly.

"Student Meishan Su Xun, I would like to worship in the Wenchang Academy, and I beg Mr. to have mercy."

Kou Zhun waved his hand.

Someone stepped forward and checked Su Xun's books and other things.

After the inspection is correct.

Kou Zhun stepped forward and said loudly: "My Wenchang School is for the imperial court to educate talents, and all the food and clothing should be provided by the official family. When you enter my Wenchang Academy, you don't need to pay for it, and you don't need to run for food and clothing.

However, my Wenchang Academy has received the emperor's favor and does not dare to slack off.

Therefore, for the students who enter the school, there are one or two tests.

Are you willing to accept the test of my Wenchang Academy? ”

Su Xun bowed and said, "The student is willing!" ”

Kou Zhun nodded and shouted, "Come on, kill the mighty stick!" ”
