Although Zhang Zhibai begged for bones, he had already been allowed to play and left the court. But his reputation among the people will continue to rise. When he returned to the court, he was involved in political affairs.

And Takachi Gong fell, and he didn't want to stand up again for the rest of his life. ”

Kou Zhun said with great certainty.

As a member of the Wenchen, Kou Ji naturally understood that Kou Zhun's words were right.

The greater Zhang Zhibai's fame, the greater the possibility of recovery, plus he has a good relationship with Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian, which left a good impression on Zhao Zhen, and it will be a matter of time before he recovers.

And Gao Chu Gong is different, not to mention that he has already hated the government and the opposition, just because he is old, it will be difficult for him to get back up.

He can no longer go into battle to tear him up, and it is impossible for him to recover through military exploits.

The girl sent into the palace by the Gao family, although she has status in the palace, Zhao Zhen rarely spoils her, and now that Gao Chugong has hated Zhao Zhen again, Zhao Zhen is even more unlikely to spoil the girl of the Gao family.

It is impossible for Gao Ya to borrow his granddaughter to recover.

The career of the Gao family within two generations has been restricted by Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian, and Zhao Zhen also acquiesced in this matter.

It is impossible to recover from the high places by the merits of their children and grandchildren.

It can be said that Gao Zuo Gong has been completely cool.

And although Zhang Zhibai retreated, he became more valuable.

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You are far younger than Gao Chu Gong and Zhang Zhibai, and your name is bigger than the two of them, so your career has not ended because of this, and it is very likely that it has just begun." ”

Kou Zhun was afraid that Kou Ji would be sad because of the dismissal, so he spoke out to enlighten Kou Ji.

Kou Ji understood Kou Zhun's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I'm also hot-headed for a while, but I can think about it." Grandfather doesn't have to worry about me. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he laughed and said, "If you want the old man to say, your mind is hot this time, and the heat is just right." Dismissal from office is a bad thing for others, but it is a great good thing for you.

Your official title is gone, your merits are high, and the possibility of being sealed is minimized.

When you enter the court again in the future, you can show your strength. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Zhun said with a little regret: "The old man returned from the first emperor's northern expedition, if he can learn from you, his head will be hot, and he will not be harmed by traitors." ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and smiled again, "Actually, the old man should thank those traitors, if it weren't for them, the old man would not have left the court." If the old man didn't leave the court, he wouldn't be disheartened and moved by the idea of collecting the son.

If you didn't have the idea of receiving your son, you wouldn't have met your good grandson, let alone today's achievements. ”

After listening to Kou Zhun's words, Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

His head is hot, not to keep his head up, nor to avoid the disaster of being a high-ranking master and an unsealable one.

He simply felt that if a famous general like Cao Wei could not take a curtain call on the battlefield with the most gorgeous posture, but was critically ill on the bed, it would become Cao Wei's lifelong regret, the regret of the Great Song Dynasty, and the regret of the history books.

Therefore, when he heard Cao Wei say that his body and bones were not as good as before, he would rush with his blood and choose to fight with Gao Chu Gong and Wei Wangfu.

However, Kou Ji didn't explain much to Kou Zhun, just followed Kou Zhun's mind and catered to Kou Zhun's thoughts.

The grandfather and grandson chatted happily.

The waves in Bianjing City were turbulent, but they were even more violent.

Cao Wei made a fuss at the gate of the Liaoguo Post House and lit a fire, not waiting for the fire to spread to the entire Bianjing City.

Another fire rose in the Wei Palace.

Chen Lin and Li Zhaoliang led people to search for a long time in the courtyard of the Wei Wangfu.

Eventually, a huge secret room was found, and the secret room was full of tattered armor, more than 10,000 pieces.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian personally rushed to the courtyard of the Wei Wangfu line, checked the armor, and then immediately sent people to arrest all the Wei Wangfu lineage.

They not only sent people to arrest the Wei Wangfu in Bianjing, but also sent people to arrest the Wei Wangfu in Fangling.

More than 10,000 pieces of tattered armor have become more than 10,000 pieces of refurbished armor after they were moved out of the courtyard of the Wei Palace.

Chen Lin and Li Zhaoliang swaggered through the city with more than 10,000 pieces of armor, and were all seen by the people of Bianjing.

The news of the Wei Wangfu's intention to rebel spread throughout Bianjing City in an instant.

When the Wei Wangfu was arrested, the people rushed to watch and applaud.

You must know that when the Eight Kings rebelled and the King of Chu burned the palace, the imperial court sent people to raid the mansions of the two of them, and the people did not applaud.

Although the Eight Kings are unbearable, he has worked hard to manage his reputation for decades, so he has a good reputation among the people.

The king of Chu does not often appear in front of people, and the people of the Chu Wangfu are also very low-key under his constraints, so the people of the Chu Wangfu have not done many things that have brought disaster to the country and the people, so the reputation of the king of Chu among the people is still alive.

The Wei Wangfu was confiscated, and the people applauded, which shows that after the Wei Wangfu entered Bianjing, in just a few months, how many days of angry things have been done.

Therefore, the Wei Wangfu was confiscated, which was in line with public opinion.

No one delved into the true origin of those armors in the courtyard of the Wei Palace, and no one delved into why those armors were suddenly renovated.

Even if some good people want to get to the bottom of it, they don't have a chance.

Because the people of the Wei Wangfu in Bianjing City have not been arrested, there have been news that Gao Chugong has been dismissed, Zhang Zhibai has been dismissed, and Kou Ji has been dismissed.

The three important ministers who controlled the real power, one of whom was still a popular figure, was deposed together, which completely attracted Bianjing City.

People inside and outside Bianjing City were completely shocked.

They rushed to inquire about the inside story of the deposed three powerful ministers, how could they have the heart to care about the life and death of the Wei Palace.

Compared with the Wei Wangfu lineage that fell from the sky, the people paid more attention to the three powerful ministers who were very close to them.

Inevitably, what happened in the Shishido Hall was spread.

The rumors are very true, and they almost restore what happened in the Shishitang as it is.

And so.

The reputation of the Gao family and the Wei Wangfu has become stinky.

The reputations of Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai have skyrocketed.

The people bluntly said that the two were good officials who were not afraid of power and worked for the welfare of the people.

For the sake of the people, gambling on the career can be said to be a good official that is rare in a century.

Some people with strong temperaments felt that the court was unfair, and even risked their lives to run to the gate of the palace, ready to beat the drums and help Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai to cry out.

Just three days.

The people who helped Kou Ji and Zhang Zhibai to cry out for grievances arrested a full hundred people.

Some may find it incredible.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, this was indeed a very common thing.

The successive officials of the Great Song Dynasty were very generous to the people.

He wanted to expand the palace, but he was afraid of damaging the houses of the people and causing resentment among the people, so he gave up decisively.

When it was hot in summer, I was afraid that the people would suffer from heat stroke, so they not only sent decoction, but also occasionally sent ice cubes.

When the winter is cold, I am afraid that the people will freeze, so I give the people charcoal salary.

is afraid of killing the people without permission, so every death row prisoner must go through several inspections to confirm that there is really no omission before he will be beheaded.

If there is an opportunity for amnesty, the sentence will be suspended.

There are many officials in Bianjing, many wealthy families, and the people are afraid, but they are not afraid of the officials and the royal family.

……

Kou Ji sat in front of the brazier, stared at Kou Tianci sitting on the desk next to him, and said very seriously: "Call Daddy......"

Kou Tianci is a year old, and he can already make a single tone indistinctly.

Under Xiang Yan's teaching, Kou Tianci was already able to vaguely shout words such as 'master' and 'mother'.

Kou Zhun is a native of Huazhou, and in Huazhou, the word 'Ye' means grandfather.

After Kou Zhun heard that Kou Tianci would shout 'master', he was so excited that he didn't care about messing up his seniority, he pulled Kou Tianci and let Kou Tianci shout for a long time.

It wasn't until Kou Tianci cried that he cocked his beard and left the Kou Mansion Courtyard with a sense of satisfaction.

When he left, he complained that he had already beaten the royal autumn wind once, and it was not easy to fight, otherwise he would have to take Kou Tianci into the palace to fight the autumn wind and ask for some rewards.

The people in the house can be regarded as Kou Tianci's elders, and Kou Tianci can shout.

The only thing is that I don't shout 'Daddy'.

Kou Ji looked at the complacent Kou Zhun and Xiang Yan, and was jealous.

He decisively snatched the ownership of Kou Tianci from Xiang Yan, and pulled Kou Tianci to teach Kou Tianci to learn to call him father.

However, Kou Tianci probably didn't agree with him.

He taught for a day, and there was no movement.

He even took advantage of him once.

"Daddy ......"

“……”

"Follow me, Daddy......"

“……”

"Daddy......"

"Hey~"

Kou Ji's eyes narrowed in shock.

Liu Heng, who had just entered the door, also stared in shock.

Kou Tianci was the only one who looked left and right with a blank face, not knowing that he had just done something that would be thundered by the sky.

After Liu Heng was slightly shocked, he said in disbelief, "Isn't Fourth Brother Mo crazy?" ”

Kou Ji's old face darkened.

Liu Heng muttered in a low voice, "Lao Tzu called his son father, and his son responded, and it was the first time I saw ......."

Kou Ji's face darkened, and he said in a heavy tone: "I'm just teaching my son to call daddy." ”

Liu Heng was slightly stunned, and was just about to speak.

I heard Kou Ji say decisively: "Why don't you arrest those officials who are connected with the Wei Palace, what are you doing in my Kou Mansion?" ”

Kou Ji was afraid that Liu Heng would say something that would embarrass him, so he decisively changed the topic.

When Liu Heng heard Kou Ji's words, his face was slightly bitter, and he said, "Can you send someone to come with me." ”

Kou Jihu raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

Liu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "There are more than 100 people who have asked for your life for you and Gong Zhang." Now they are in prison and refuse to leave, nor do they eat or drink, and if they continue to consume, I am afraid that they will die. ”

Kou Ji said with a surprised face: "Ask for my life?" ”

Liu Heng nodded and said: "If you don't go out of the mansion, you naturally don't know how many righteous people are willing to sacrifice their lives for the two of you after the words and deeds of you and Zhang Gong in the capital hall are spread." ”

Kou Ji was even more surprised, "My reputation is already so great that someone is willing to die for me?" ”

Liu Heng pursed his lips and did not speak.

Kou Ji asked, "The person was arrested by your Imperial City Division?" ”

Liu Heng nodded with a bitter face, "The Criminal Department is afraid of being infamous by the Criminal Department, and the same is true of Kaifeng Mansion, and the people in the Inspection Department are even more deaf and dumb." It can only be caught by our Imperial City Division. Anyway, what our Imperial City Division is doing is what people hate. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "Since they are innocent, teach them and let them go." ”

"The problem is that they stay in my Imperial City Division's cell and refuse to leave, nor do they eat or drink. I'm not going to cut them all the way I do with everyone else, can I? ”

Liu Heng's face became even more bitter, "If I really cut them all, there will be resentment in Bianjing City, and the officials will inevitably use me to calm the anger of the people." ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and muttered, "I'll ask the housekeeper to accompany you on a trip, bring some food, and treat them." ”

Liu Heng nodded decisively.

Kou Ji instructed the servant to go and send a message to the kitchen so that the kitchen could prepare food.

After the servant went down.

Liu Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one thing I don't understand, can the fourth brother help me solve my doubts?" ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Heng asked, "How did you get those armors from the Wei Wangfu lineage?" This matter has become a hot topic in the court, but no one has given a clear answer so far.

It seems that no one except the fourth brother knows about it. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment, and did not answer Liu Heng's question, but asked rhetorically, "What is the discussion in the court?" ”

Liu Heng said frankly: "Some people say that those armors were in that courtyard early, some people say that you planted them, and some people say that Chen Lin and Li Zhaoliang brought them in when they searched......

Some people even say that it is the armor that the Wei Wangfu has long been prepared for rebellion.

There are only four theories, but the last one, many people don't believe. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, glanced at Liu Heng and said, "You want to know?" ”

Liu Heng nodded.

Kou Ji continued, "So far, only four people know about this matter, are you sure you want to know?" ”

Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head decisively.

Kou Ji mentioned four people in his mouth, so who is it, Liu Heng can roughly deduce one or two.

The first to bear the brunt was Chen Lin.

There are people in Bianjing City who have hidden more than 10,000 pieces of armor, and it is impossible for the people under Chen Lin not to know.

In terms of being well-informed, few people can compare to Chen Lin.

Since Chen Lin knows, then Zhao Zhen, as his master, must also know.

Kou Ji obviously knew that too.

For the remaining person, the identity must be very important.

The secret that only four people knew, in the Great Song Dynasty, was the real secret.

Since it is a real secret, Liu Heng feels that it is better for him to not know.

Liu Heng was no longer curious, so he didn't ask about it again.

He chatted with Kou Ji for a while, and after the cook in the Koufu courtyard finished the food, Liu Heng took the Koufu steward and left the Koufu with food.

After Liu Heng left.

Kou Ji took off a jade pendant from Kou Tianci's neck, played with it casually, and muttered: "It's just the remnants of a group of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and the officials can really guess it, and they are so idle that they ......are panicking."

The armor in the courtyard of the Wei Wangfu originated from this jade pendant on Kou Tianci's neck.

The jade pendant given by Zhao Zhen.
