If Zhang Jieyu knew Empress Cao's thoughts, I am afraid she would not be able to laugh.

Not only can I not laugh, but I am afraid that I will scold my mother.

Zhang Jieyu's background is not low, but when she was born, the Zhang family had declined.

The female educators who taught her were also shallow-eyed, and only gave her some secular etiquette rules, but rarely mentioned to her about the affairs of the palace.

On weekdays, when I get together with those ladies in Bianjing City, I rarely mention things in the palace.

The vision is more than a star and a half lower than that of Queen Cao.

In addition, she is still shallow in the palace, and she has not seen those flies and dogs in the palace, so her mind is still very simple, and she does things according to her preferences.

It's not like Queen Cao.

Since she was born, the Cao family has had the intention of sending her to the palace, so all she taught her was the grandmother given by the palace.

In addition to teaching the rules of Empress Cao's palace, those grandmothers also taught them a lot of skills to observe words and colors and see people speak.

In addition, the Cao family also invited some famous Confucians to teach Empress Cao to read and hyphenation.

The late Emperor Cao's favorite concubine, Concubine Cao Xian, that is, Empress Cao's aunt, summoned Empress Cao into the palace every once in a while, let her follow her, feel the flies and dogs in the palace, and taught many ways to survive in the palace.

Therefore, when Empress Cao was very young, she knew how to survive in the palace, and she also knew how to get along with people outside the palace as a person in the palace.

The vision and mind are far several times higher than those of other peers.

In the harem, except for Concubine Yang, the other women in front of her are her sisters.

Among them is Zhao Zhen's biological mother, Concubine Li.

Empress Cao has been in the palace for less than half a year, and she has already conquered Concubine Li with her excellent cooking skills.

Now Empress Cao is in the mouth of Concubine Li, and she is a rare virtuous and virtuous daughter-in-law.

The women in the six palaces, when they mentioned Queen Cao, all gave a thumbs up.

There is only Concubine Yang, who is not pretending to be a color to Queen Cao.

Empress Cao's thoughts, Zhao Zhen didn't understand.

Zhang Jieyu's thoughts, Zhao Zhen didn't understand.

For Zhao Zhen, love is actually a luxury.

Not long after he became in power, he wanted to turn his words into golden words and convince the Manchu civil and military forces, so he needed to do a lot of things and learn a lot of things.

Every day, just government affairs are enough for him to be busy, how can he have any thoughts to fall in love with those concubines in the palace.

He has feelings for Empress Cao, and that's because Empress Cao is really virtuous, always able to help him deal with some things that he feels troublesome, and always be by his side to comfort him when he needs comfort.

He has feelings for Zhang Jieyu, and that's because of her appearance.

Zhao Zhen was worried about Zhang Jieyu at first, just because of her appearance.

Before Zhang Jieyu entered the palace, he didn't even say a word to Zhang Jieyu, so how could he talk about love?

Zhao Zhen'er heard Zhang Jieyu's resignation, and Empress Cao also agreed with Zhang Jieyu's words, so she didn't think much about it, and nodded slightly, "Then this matter will be discussed later." ”

When Zhang Jieyu and Queen Cao heard this, they both smiled.

Zhao Zhen rested in the main hall for an hour.

Kou Ji appeared in the main hall again, and after saluting Zhao Zhen, he said, "The official family, the guests invited by the minister's grandfather have arrived, now please come over." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, put his hands behind his back, and took the lead out of the main hall of Koufu.

Empress Cao and Zhang Jieyu, one left and one right, followed Zhao Zhen's side.

Koji hung at the rear.

Exit the main entrance of the annex courtyard.

Zhao Zhen's dragon bowl was parked at the door, as well as the guards of the royal dragons, as well as Queen Cao's phoenix, and Zhang Jieyu's soft sedan chair.

A large group of people surrounded the gate of the courtyard.

After Zhao Zhen appeared at the main gate of the courtyard, Chen Lin led everyone and bowed in unison.

Zhao Zhen, with Chen Lin's support, took the lead in sitting on the dragon bowl.

Empress Cao, supported by the female officials in the palace, sat on the phoenix.

Zhang Jieyu sat in a soft sedan chair with the support of the female officer.

According to the rules, Zhang Jieyu should take a carriage.

It's just that Zhang Jieyu is pregnant and can't stand the bumps of the carriage.

So Zhao Zhen allowed her to sit in a soft sedan chair.

Regarding Zhang Jieyu's sedan chair, none of the Manchu civil and military forces opened their mouths to impeach.

It's not that they can't, it's that they don't dare.

Playing tricks on the issue of Zhao Zhen's heirs, Zhao Zhen will definitely make them extremely happy.

No one would be stupid enough to touch Zhao Zhen's brow at this time.

Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon bowl, and under the escort of a group of majestic dragons, he went to the Wenchang Academy.

But he suffered Kou Ji, walked with a pair of long legs, and followed next to the dragon.

Chen Lin took small steps, like a race walk, and accompanied Kou Ji.

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said in a low voice, "Our family thinks it is necessary for you to talk to your little brother Liu Heng." ”

Kou Ji squinted at Chen Lin, and then at the dragon sword that was moving forward beside him.

"Is this what you mean, or is this what the officials mean?"

Chen Lin said indifferently: "You don't care who you mean, in short, you have to talk to your little brother." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Long Ji again and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Chen Lin said lightly: "In recent days, there have been countless twists and turns in the impeachment of Liu Mei, and some people have even exposed that Liu Mei took bribes and murdered others by taking advantage of her power when she was in charge of the Imperial City Division. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what?" ”

Chen Lin smiled lightly: "The official family intends to depose Liu Mei from the post of official affairs of the Imperial City Division. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This matter is all handled by the official family's thoughts, and the official family thinks that Liu Mei should be deposed, and Liu Mei should be deposed." ”

As early as after Liu E was burned to death in the palace by Zhao Yuanzuo, Kou Ji knew that Liu Mei's official work in the imperial city would not last long.

Now that Liu Mei has been impeached, Zhao Zhen's intention to depose Liu Mei is all expected by Kou Ji.

Koji didn't think there was anything incomprehensible about this.

Chen Lin nodded and smiled: "The official family intends to let Liu Heng succeed Liu Mei and take the position of official affairs of the Imperial City Division. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and laughed in a low voice: "The son inherits his father's business, it seems that the official family trusts Liu Heng very much." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he shook his head and said, "The official family doesn't trust Liu Heng, the official family trusts you." You are the most trusted person in the official family, you can trust Liu Heng, and the official family naturally chooses to believe in Liu Heng. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You mean, Liu Heng can be favored by the official family, or is it because of me?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head and smiled: "It's not all you...... During Liu Heng's tenure in the Imperial City Division, he did all kinds of errands well, and he had the ability to take charge of the Imperial City Division. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Since the official family has decided on this matter, just give an order, why do you still want me to talk to Liu Heng?" ”

Chen Lin smiled indifferently: "That's because the official family plans to divide the Imperial City Division into two. ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "The official family plans to borrow the manpower of the Imperial City Division and reinstate the Wude Division to supervise hundreds of officials and supervise the world. ”

Kou Ji's brow furrowed even tighter.

Chen Lin continued: "In the future, Wu Desi will be in the dark, supervising hundreds of officials and supervising the world. The Imperial City Division is in the Ming Dynasty, arresting and capturing, and spying on the countries. ”

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Chen Lin and said, "You will become the head of the Martial Arts Division?" ”

In this matter, if Chen Lin didn't get benefits, he didn't need to find Kou Ji in person and ask Kou Ji to go to Liu Heng to talk about it.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Lin's words, Kou Ji immediately reacted.

The person in charge of the reinstated Wude Division, the eight achievements are Chen Lin.

Chen Lin faced Kou Ji's inquiry, nodded with a smile: "Thanks to the trust of the official family, let our family be appointed as the commander of the Martial Virtue Division." ”

Kou Ji's brows furrowed, "Listen to what you mean, Wu Desi will be controlled by eunuchs in the future?" ”

Official names such as all know and all know are used by eunuchs.

For a moment, Kou Ji felt a little that after the Wude Division and the Imperial City Division were set up, there was a feeling of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Lin smiled: "Not bad......"

Kou Ji's face sank.

From the bottom of his heart, he was very resistant to eunuchs and harem politics.

Chen Lin saw that Kou Ji's face was wrong, the smile on his face was retracted, and he squinted slightly and stared at Kou Ji.

That's it.

Zhao Zhen lifted the curtain on the dragon and said to Kou Ji: "If I want to hear some truth, some truth, I have to use some people who are loyal to me and obedient." ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly interjected.

Whether it was Kou Ji or Chen Lin, they were not surprised.

Chen Lin obviously got Zhao Zhen's instructions, so he found Kou Ji and asked Kou Ji to go to Liu Heng to talk about it.

From the very beginning, the matter was discussed by three people.

When Kou Ji mentioned this matter at Chen Lin's mouth, he looked at Zhao Zhen's dragon several times, just because he already knew that Zhao Zhen had participated in the discussion of this matter.

Otherwise, why did Chen Lin talk about this matter on the side of Zhao Zhenlong?

Kou Ji arched his hand to Zhao Zhen, and said with a straight face: "The official family wants to hear the truth, and if they want to hear the truth, the ministers naturally dare not stop ......"

Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin stared at Kou Jijing and waited for the following.

Kou Ji continued: "It's just that there are two points that the minister disagrees with. ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned and did not speak.

Chen Lin squinted his eyes and said, "Is the Ministry of Officials afraid that our family will empty Liu's affairs?" ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said calmly: "I just don't agree with letting the eunuch be the head of the Wude Division, and I don't agree with giving the Wude Division too much power." ”

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "Does the Ministry of Kou have an opinion on our family?" ”

Kou Ji still shook his head, "Gonggong Chen is loyal to the official family, and I don't doubt Gonggong Chen's loyalty. If Gonggong Chen is in charge of the Wude Division, he will definitely make the Wude Division a great help in the hands of the officials.

It's just that the eunuchs selected within the palace walls are uneven.

There are loyal and righteous people like Gonggong Chen.

There are also sinister villains like Guo Huai.

Gonggong Chen is in charge of Wu Desi, so naturally there is no problem.

But if a sinister person is in charge of the Wude Division, it will inevitably become a harm to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chen Lin's face softened a little, and he frowned slightly.

Zhao Zhen looked thoughtful.

Kou Ji continued: "Don't talk about Qin, Han and Tang, just take my dynasty as an example. During the Taizong Dynasty, Wang Jien caused great harm to our Great Song Dynasty.

At the beginning of his trouble, he knew that his strength was insufficient, so he wooed his foreign ministers.

By the power of foreign ministers, he will cause trouble.

It was precisely because the foreign ministers he co-opted were not of the same mind as him that he showed his flaws when he was in trouble and was accused by Taizong.

If he has Wu Desi in his hands, why does he need to win over foreign ministers?

Wu Desi supervises hundreds of officials and supervises the world, and he can use Wu Desi to collect the secrets of hundreds of officials and control any official he wants to control.

During the first emperor's reign, Zhou Huaizheng was in trouble.

If he has the Wu De Division, why do he need to go out to transfer troops?

Just replace the Yiying of Wu Desi with a eunuch, and then use the eunuch to set off a rebellion in the palace.

Eunuchs do not interfere in politics, but they can still shake the society.

If the eunuch interferes in politics, then can he pay it back? ”

Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "We slaves and maids are not as bad as the Ministry of Kou said. ”

Chen Lin spoke out to argue for the eunuchs.

It's just that his voice is very weak, and he seems to be a little lacking in confidence.

Chen Lin was a eunuch, so he knew eunuchs better than Kou Ji.

Some insidious eunuchs have done bad things, which is far more terrible than what Kou Ji said.

Chen Lin can ensure that he has always been loyal to Zhao Zhen, but he cannot ensure that his successor will be as loyal to Zhao Zhen as he is.

Notice.

When Guo Huai entered the palace that year, Chen Lin felt that Guo Huai was clever and intended to promote Guo Huai and let Guo Huai follow him.

When Guo Huai followed Chen Lin at that time, Chen Lin was very good to Guo Huai and mentioned many things to Guo Huai.

Chen Lin also intends to train Guo Huai as a successor.

But since Guo Huai fell in love with Liu E, he immediately broke with Chen Lin and became Chen Lin's opponent.

With Guo Huai in front of him, Chen Lin really didn't dare to say that when he stepped down, he would pick a eunuch who was loyal to the official family to take his place.

Kou Ji heard Chen Lin's words and said lightly: "Among the eunuchs, there is naturally no shortage of loyal and righteous people like Gonggong Chen, but there are even more insidious villains. As far as I know, during the reign of Taizu, eunuchs were often sent to serve as supervisors in the army.

The same is true of the two dynasties of Taizong and the first emperor.

There are countless generals who have been killed by eunuchs.

There are also many generals who have been charged by eunuchs.

If there are eunuchs who control the Wude Division at the same time, with the power of the Wude Division, and by the convenience of their authority, and then control some leading generals, it will be even more harmful. ”

Chen Lin immediately kept silent.

Because Koji succeeded in convincing him.

Chen Lin likes power, but she is not greedy for power.

Once his interests touch Zhao Zhen's interests, he will decisively choose to back down.

Zhao Zhen wrung his brows and said, "According to your meaning, shouldn't I reinstate the Wude Division?" ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he muttered: "It's not that the Wude Division can't be reinstated, the officials want to hear the truth and want to know the truth, which is a good thing." It's just the power of the Wu De Division, which needs to be restrained. Wu Desi should not be controlled by eunuchs. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly, "What do you suggest?" ”

Kou Ji said thoughtfully: "The minister agrees with the idea of the official family being one bright and one dark. Wu Desi is in the dark, and the Imperial City Division is in the light. Wu Desi is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and supervising the world, but he can only watch, listen, speak, or do.

They are just wooden people, who are only responsible for collecting information and sending it to the officials.

If there is a slight transgression, it should be cut.

The Imperial City Division was in the Ming Dynasty, and was responsible for helping the officials do something that the yamen couldn't do, and helping the officials spy on the hostile situation in the countries around the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen groaned: "You mean, if I want to deal with a corrupt official, I have to go through the yamen of various places first?" ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said: "My Great Song Dynasty has its own national law, and I should abide by the national law." If the official wants to deal with a corrupt official, he can first find someone to complain to the yamen.

If the yamen doesn't care, or if the officials protect each other and collude with each other, it will not be too late for the officials to send people from the Imperial City Division to take action. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then do you think it is most appropriate for someone to serve as the official of the Martial Arts Division?" ”
