"It's time for me to go......"

This was the first thing Zhu Neng said when he saw Kou Ji, which was full of embarrassment and reluctance.

Kou Ji asked Zhu Neng to sit down and asked, "Has there been a change in Xiyi?" ”

Zhu Neng shook his head.

Kou Jihu said suspiciously: "Then why are you in a hurry to leave?" ”

Zhu Neng sighed and said: "After the official family issued an edict to canonize Cao Wei as the king, the people of the Cao family immediately left Bianjing City and rushed to Liuqiu. It's been a few months since we were crowned kings.

We have already been impeached.

If you don't leave, you can't talk about it.

The household department has already sent people to my house several times.

They can't wait to count the fields of my Zhu Mansion. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "The household department has always been like this. ”

Zhu Neng smiled and said: "To be precise, all the yamen in the court are the same. When collecting money, one is faster than the other, and when sending money, one is slower than the other. ”

Koji nodded.

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What do you have to explain when you go to Xiyi?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Zhu Neng and asked, "You will soon be the lord of a land, and you still need to call me in case of trouble?" ”

Zhu Neng smiled and said, "I have meat to eat with you." ”

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile.

Zhu Neng stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You won't watch your uncle Zhu family and the people under my rule go hungry, right?" ”

Kou Ji sighed: "Didn't I tell you everything I should have said before?" ”

Zhu Neng smiled and said, "I want to know a little more." We're our own family, so you have to treat them differently. ”

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I'll tell you more about it. When you arrive in Xiyi, send someone to the Black Khanate. I've heard that the Black Khanate is now completely in Gargamel's hands.

You send someone to tell him that he will fulfill what he promised me as soon as possible.

If he promises to keep his promise, there will be no trouble in your fiefdom for a while.

If he doesn't promise to fulfill his promise, your fiefdom shouldn't be peaceful for a while.

But you don't need to worry.

If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can run.

After running to a safe place, he reported the matter to the court.

When the time comes, the court will send a large army to him to seek justice for us. ”

Zhu Neng listened to Kou Ji's words and said in a deep voice: "Thirty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses can't threaten me. ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "When did the Black Khanate mobilize troops, when did it fall below 100,000?" Don't look at their small number, the men in their country are almost all soldiers in wartime.

So once you run into them, you can fight them, and if you can't, don't die. ”

Zhu Neng frowned and said, "It's just a group of rabble." ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "It's true that the other party is a rabble. But you don't have enough soldiers and horses to deal with? ”

Zhu Neng said in a deep voice: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice......

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much. The one standing behind you is the Great Song, and if he wants to move you, it is equivalent to moving the Great Song.

So before he moves you, he must consider whether he can withstand the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhu Neng frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" I just said that he would touch me, and now he says that he doesn't dare to touch me. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "He doesn't dare to move you openly, but it doesn't mean that he won't make any small moves." I'm going to tell you the pros and cons now, just to keep you on your toes with this person. ”

Zhu Neng nodded in a deep groan: "Understood......"

Kou Ji continued: "After you arrive in Xiyi, you can send someone to communicate with Yuanshan. Learn how he gained a foothold in the Western Regions, and how he made the places under his rule rich. ”

"Will he talk to me?"

"I'll send someone to bring him a letter."

"That's good......"

Zhu Neng let out a sigh of relief.

When he went to the Western Regions, someone took care of him and someone pointed him out, so naturally it was faster and better than he groped for governance.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You can also send someone to consult Li Di." ”

Zhu Neng said with a surprised face: "Li Diken taught me? ”

Who is Li Di, he has served as the secretary of the same Zhongshu.

He is also the one who single-handedly created the big granary of Hexi.

The west of the river he ruled was far richer than the rest of the surrounding world.

With Li Di's guidance, Zhu Neng will have a greater grasp of making the fiefdom rich as soon as possible.

Kou Ji heard Zhu Neng's question and said with a smile: "Li Di's only thought now is to make Hexi prosperous. So as long as you give him enough benefits, he will definitely teach you.

But you'd better be careful when negotiating with Li Di.

Don't look back and don't learn anything, but you were calculated by Li Di. ”

As soon as I heard this.

Zhu Neng spoke almost without hesitation, "Then I'll go find Yuanshan." ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Are you so afraid of Li Di? ”

Zhu Neng said frankly: "In terms of heart, I am not his opponent. ”

Kou Ji smiled and shook his head.

Zhu Neng slowly got up and clenched his fist at Kou Ji, "Virtuous nephew, I'll go first." ”

Kou Ji got up and saluted back: "When you go to Xiyi, you must take care." When necessary, you can send someone to Bianjing City for help, and I will definitely help when the time comes. ”

Zhu Neng nodded heavily and said, "Virtuous nephew, although I'm an uncle, I'm a little greedy. But my heart for you and Kou Gong has not changed.

If you need it, just say hello.

I and my people are for you to drive. ”

This is Zhu Neng's promise to Kou Ji, a very heavy promise.

Zhu Neng promised to be driven by Kou Ji, but there were no conditions.

No conditions mean that Zhu Neng is willing to take his people to help Kou Ji do anything.

"I wrote it down, Uncle Zhu ......"

"Farewell!"

"Take care!"

“……”

Zhu Neng withdrew his fist and left the Kou Mansion without looking back.

There was a big difference between a warrior and a literati.

The literati said goodbye and sent one ride after another.

The martial artist said goodbye, very simply.

One look, one word is enough.

This time, even if it is goodbye, they will not hesitate.

Kou Ji didn't send him off, just stood in the courtyard of the Kou Mansion, watching Zhu Neng leave the Kou Mansion.

Not long after Zhu Neng left.

Gao Di quietly touched Kou Fu, met with Kou Ji, and said goodbye.

Gao asked how to go on Gao's road in the future, and Kou Ji only gave two words.

"To the north!"

After getting the answer, Gao Zugong thanked him and left the Kou Mansion.

It didn't take long for Gao Zuo Gong to leave.

Chong Shiheng also appeared on the Kou Ji Mansion.

Chong Shiheng didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just drank tea with Kou Ji for a while and said goodbye.

A smart person is a smart person.

He knew that if he asked Kou Ji about the development path of Dongyang in the future, Kou Ji would not say anything substantial, so he didn't ask anything.

Just accompanied Kou Ji to drink tea and say goodbye to Kou Ji.

The friendship between them was maintained.

Chong Shiheng sat in Kou Mansion for a long time and left.

Next.

Chong Shiheng handed over the property of the Seed Mansion to the Household Yamen, and left Bianjing City with a large family of the Seed Family, as well as the people he recruited and some subordinates and old departments.

Chong Shiheng was the last to go to Kou Mansion to say goodbye to Kou Ji.

But he was the first to leave Bianjing.

When Chong Shiheng left, Kou Ji went to the city gate tower to see him off.

When he went down to the city gate, he only said one word.

"Since then, there has been no more seed in the Great Song Dynasty...... I don't know if it's right or wrong......"

It was not two days after Chong Shiheng left.

Gao Chu Gong also handed over the property of Gaofu to the household department, and left Bianjing City with the Gao family.

After Gao Di Gong left, it was Zhu Neng.

During the whole process, all the people in Bianjing City were in the sadness of parting.

Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, and Gao Chugong did not have as much prestige as Kou Zhun, and it was impossible for nearly half of the people in Bianjing City to see them off.

But they took quite a few people.

There are many people in it who are related to other people in Bianjing.

In this way, Bianjing City is naturally shrouded in the sadness of parting.

During this period of time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also in the process of seeing them off.

Sent this, sent that.

Up and down the government and the opposition.

The only place where there is laughter is probably Tobe.

Because with the departure of Gao Chugong, Zhu Neng, and Chong Shiheng from Beijing, their immovable family property was naturally left.

Zhao Zhen ate the big head, and they also ate the small head.

The three families are very rich, so even some soup and water make the household eat with oil.

Just when everyone in Bianjing City was waiting for Liu Heng and Kou Ji to leave Beijing.

Liu Heng went to the palace alone and asked Zhao Zhen to pass his throne to his son Liu Boxu.

Zhao Zhen did not allow it, and neither did Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng.

Liu Heng knelt in front of the Information Hall.

Liu Heng knelt down, and everyone who immediately spread the news knew about it.

Bianjing City was an instant sensation.

The Great Song Dynasty produced a Kou Zhun who is not greedy for power, and a Kou Ji who is not greedy for power, which is already very remarkable.

The same is true for Liu Heng today.

The sensation is naturally greater.

It's just different from the rave reviews of the Kou family's ancestors and grandchildren.

Liu Heng's move was praised by some and reprimanded.

Why is there any rebuke?

for they are ashamed of themselves.

Kou Zhun and Kou Ji are not greedy for power, that's because they can't be greedy.

In addition, the contributions of both their grandparents and grandchildren are unattainable.

Therefore, Kou Zhun and Kou Ji will be praised for whatever noble things they have done.

Liu Heng is different.

Liu Heng has not yet reached the time when the credit is boundless.

He showed nobility.

Let those people see their ugliness.

They are ashamed of themselves, but they are also angry.

After becoming angry, he will naturally criticize Liu Heng.

The impeachment of Liu Heng was arrogant and rude, and the impeachment of Liu Heng with ulterior motives floated into the palace like snowflakes.

Inside the Koufu.

Liu Boxu ran into Kou Ji's study, and said to Kou Ji breathlessly: "Uncle, my father has been impeached. ”

Kou Ji was telling Kou Tianci about the characteristics of all the craftsmen in the mansion and the craftsmanship they were good at.

Hearing Liu Boxu's words, Kou Ji asked Kou Tianci to wait on the side first, he beckoned and summoned Liu Boxu to his side.

After Liu Boxu walked to Kou Ji's side, Kou Ji sighed and said, "It's not easy for your father to pass on the throne to you." ”

Liu Boxu stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Then why did you pass the throne to Tianci, why did you ......?"

Without waiting for Liu Boxu to finish speaking, Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Your father is different from me......"

Liu Boxu stared at Kou Ji, he didn't understand, what was the difference.

Kou Ji didn't explain much, but stared at Liu Boxu and asked, "You came to me, but you want me to help your father?" ”

Liu Boxu nodded solemnly and said, "I don't want any throne, I just want my father to accompany me." ”

Kou Ji sighed.

He knows the truth.

Liu Heng is to protect him, so he wants to pass the throne to Liu Boxu.

But he couldn't tell Liu Boxu the truth.

Since Liu Heng didn't say it, he couldn't overstep his bounds.

"You accompany Tianci in the house, I'll go to the palace to have a look."

Liu Boxu nodded heavily.

Kou Ji instructed the steward of the palace to arrange a carriage, and then sat into the palace.

Along the way, the waist card was shown, unimpeded.

When he arrived at the Shishitang, Kou Ji saw Liu Heng kneeling there.

and the imperial historians who blamed him beside him.

The imperial historians were full of spitting and accusing Liu Heng.

Where did Liu Heng kneel, staring at the capital hall, without saying a word.

Kou Ji sighed, walked to Liu Heng's side, and said lightly to the imperial historians who were making a lot of nonsense.

"You guys go first."

The imperial historians were willing to agree.

They stared at Liu Heng and scolded for a long time, and just found a little feeling of being a royal history from Liu Heng, how could they leave easily.

"Mr. Kou, Liu Heng is arrogant and despises the official family, which is a big crime. If he does not admit his guilt, how will the people of the world view the officials? ”

Kou Ji is now unofficial and untitled, so the imperial historians call Kou Ji a sir.

Although Kou Ji will soon go to the domain, the power of the Kou clan has not completely disappeared.

The imperial historians also had to give Kou Ji three points of thin noodles.

Kou Ji heard the words of the imperial historians, and his face turned slightly cold, "Prince, how can you humiliate me?" Do you think we're about to leave Bianjing, so we can't help you? ”

The imperial historians were stunned for a moment, and opened their mouths to argue.

But one of them retreated, coughed softly, and whispered something.

One by one, the other imperial historians snorted coldly and left the place.

Kou Ji walked up to Liu Heng, squatted down, stared at Liu Heng's eyes, and asked, "Why bother?" After you were impeached, Bo Xu immediately went to the house to ask me for help.

I can see that he has approved of you as a father.

It's also a little inseparable from you.

He needs you more than I do. ”

Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and said calmly: "I am left with you and Bo Xu's two relatives." Your situation is more dangerous than Ebers, so I must stay. ”

Kou Ji sighed again and said, "I'll go talk to the official family......"

Kou Ji entered the Shishido.

Seeing Zhao Zhen sitting on the chair, he sighed.

saw Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng bowing their heads to deal with government affairs.

"Grass people Kou Ji, see the official ......"

"Fourth brother, you're here...... Tell me quickly, what does Liu Heng mean, forcing the palace? ”

Zhao Zhen saw Kou Ji and asked directly.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng put down the government affairs in their hands and looked up at Kou Ji.

They wanted to see what kind of answer Koji could give.

Kou Ji stood in the hall and said frankly: "Liu Heng knows that I don't know martial arts, and he also knows that the guards in my house will all leave when they turn around. So he wants to stay in Bianjing City and protect me. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he said almost without hesitation: "It is impossible for me to put the fourth brother in danger. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "He also knows about it, but he just wants to stay by my side and do his part." ”

Zhao Zhen frowned.

Seeing this, Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji and said, "Kou Ji, the throne is not child's play. The official family has taken a big risk to keep you. If Liu Heng is left behind, then everyone else will follow suit.

What kind of king did the court profess? ”

The imperial court was crowned a king, aiming to reduce the risk of usurping the throne.

If the imperial court was crowned king, it would still allow Kou Ji, Liu Heng, Chong Shiheng and others to stay in Bianjing.

There is no difference between being a king and not being a king.

The imperial court made them kings and sealed the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty in order to reduce their control and influence on the generals and soldiers in the army.

Instead of weakening their clan's support for them.

If Kou Ji and the others were crowned kings, they would not leave Bianjing City or the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.

Then they will be able to maintain control and influence in the military all the time.

For example, Gao Huaide, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Shi Shouxin and others still maintained their influence and control over the army after Taizu released his military power with a cup of wine.

It is precisely because of this that they have gone through three official families, and the family has not declined.

If it weren't for Kou Ji cultivating new generals and setting up a new army, he would have replaced the influence and control of several of them in the army.

If Zhao Zhen wants to rectify the emperor's relatives and martial arts, it is not so easy.

Therefore, if you want to completely deprive Kou Ji and others of their influence and control over the soldiers and horses, you can only let them go to the border and go to the domain.

If they don't go to the vassal, then there is no point in the court being crowned king.

When Zhao Zhen was crowned king, Lu Yijian and other ministers did not try their best to stop it, also because they knew the true meaning behind the king.

Now that Liu Heng wants to destroy this meaning, Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng naturally can't agree.

Kou Ji heard Lu Yijian's words, and said in a deep voice: "I naturally know the meaning of the imperial court to be crowned king, but Liu Heng is different from us.

He has long since lost his old ministry in my Great Song Dynasty, and he has not controlled any of the forbidden troops in my Great Song Dynasty.

His old ministries in the past have long been scattered to various places with the transfer over the years.

All he can control now is a group of widows.

Therefore, if he stays in Bianjing, it will not have any impact on the imperial court.

It will not affect the political affairs of the DPRK and China, nor will it affect the military affairs. ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "Having said that, as soon as this example is opened and everyone follows suit, then the imperial court will be in trouble." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Liu Heng will live in Bianjing City as a civilian. During this period, he will not interfere in military affairs, nor will he interfere in political affairs, let alone rely on his previous official status to do anything. ”

"Even so......"

"I can guarantee that others won't follow suit."

"What guarantees do you have?"

"Is Kou enough? If there are not enough words, are the heads of those who imitate them enough? ”

“……”

Hearing Kou Ji's words, Lu Yijian glared at Kou Ji and stopped talking.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Since the fourth brother has said this, I can't do it if I don't agree." When I turn around, I will arrange a place for him to live next to the accommodation arranged for the fourth brother.

Unless he returns to Xiyang, he is not allowed to participate in politics. ”

Kou Ji bowed, "Thank you to the official family......"

Zhao Zhen sighed, "Fourth brother, hurry up and let Liu Heng leave." A prince, where to kneel, it will damage the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji nodded, but he didn't rush to find Liu Heng, but his eyes fell on Lu Yijian.

"It's a bit too much to let those imperial histories insult a prince."

Lu Yijian shouted dissatisfiedly: "This matter was not instructed by the old man. ”

Kou Ji nodded and continued: "Then I bother you to remind them, don't go to the kings' fiefdoms in the future, otherwise I am afraid that a pair of legs will not be saved." ”

Lu Yijian glared and shouted: "In front of the official family, you should threaten the imperial history?!" ”

Kou Ji shook his head, "I didn't threaten anyone, I just wanted them to remember that a king is a king, and they should not be humiliated." ”

Lu Yijian asked, "Isn't this a threat?" ”

Kou Ji stared at Lu Yijian and asked, "What kind of threat is this?" My Great Song Dynasty fought in all directions, captured the enemy's royal relatives, princes, etc., and would treat each other with courtesy.

How did it come to my own people, and this one didn't work?

Are we not as good as our own enemies who tremble at our knees?

is also Liu Heng honest and knows that he is compromised.

Replaced by Zhu Neng, Chong Shiheng and others, you let those imperial histories try again.

Do you believe it or not, they fight for the throne, and they will slaughter them to relieve their hatred. ”

Lu Yijian was about to speak, but Wang Zeng sighed and said, "I think what Kou Ji said is right." The government and the opposition all have etiquette and law, and they all respect and humility based on their status.

The prince is above the lords, and he also stands at the head of the hundred officials, and he must not be humiliated. ”

Lu Yijian glared at Wang Zeng, as if asking Wang Zeng, 'Who are you facing?' ’

Wang Zeng ignored his gaze.

Kou Ji also ignored Lu Yijian.

He saluted Zhao Zhen and withdrew from the Shishitang.

Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After Kou Ji left the capital hall, he said to Liu Heng: "Get up." The official family had agreed, and then a canonized edict was sent to the house. ”

Liu Heng nodded and stood up.

Kou Ji glanced at the two dust marks on Liu Heng's knees, and said in a deep voice, "Don't kneel without moving in the future." With your and my merits to the Great Song Dynasty, the only people who can afford you and me to kneel are the Queen Mother, the official family and the elders. ”

Liu Heng nodded again.

Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng again and said, "Go back to the house first, when I left the house, your sister-in-law was preparing shabu shabu." Bo Xu is also in the house, so we can just be lively together. ”

After saying that.

Kou Ji led Liu Heng out of the palace.

The two of them arrived at the Kou Mansion.

Xiang Yan has already prepared the shabu-shabu.

Kou Ji and Liu Heng went to the table with a smile, and together with Xiang Yan, Kou Tianci, Liu Boxu, Princess Baoqing, Kou Hui, and Zhao Su, they gathered around the table and ate mutton shabu.

Xiang Yan prepared a lot of mutton, as well as a lot of yak meat.

But the people at the table seem to like to grab the plate in front of the person close to them.

Everyone, you are fighting for me, so it's not lively.

Kou Ji and Liu Heng never said anything about what happened in the palace from beginning to end.

Mature men are like this, and they never report good news or bad news to their families.

A table of mutton and beef was finally wiped out.

Several people left the dining hall with their stomachs in their hands and a smile.

A table of leftovers was left for people to clean up.

After eating, the sky was not very good.

So Liu Heng and Liu Boxu didn't leave, they simply stayed in Kou Mansion.
