Seeing that Zhao Zhen seemed to believe his words, Kou Zhun continued: "The old minister invited the official family to go north, and the other purpose is to let the official family walk around, look around, and see what the Great Song Dynasty under your rule is like.

When the time comes, it will not be so easy for some people to try to deceive you. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and said, "Kou Gong is sincere, I feel it." But Gong Kou hadn't told me what would happen to me if Cao Wei won in the Land of Yanyun? ”

Kou Zhun said solemnly: "Naturally, he rushed to Xingqing Mansion with his army and destroyed Western Xia with the power of thunder." This is also another purpose of the old minister. My Great Song is not what it used to be, and it is no longer the Great Song of the past who bullied us, and we can all tolerate it.

Xixia has repeatedly provoked my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song has let it go again and again, and it has reached the point where I can't let it anymore.

If you let it go any further, then the other vassals, not everyone will follow the example of Western Xia and repeatedly provoke my Great Song Dynasty.

My Great Song Dynasty should be a heavy army, thunder swept the caves, destroyed the Western Xia, An'an three sides, and shook the neighbors.

Only when the vassals who provoked my Great Song Dynasty are destroyed, will the other vassals obediently bow down to my Great Song Dynasty and dare not disagree. ”

Zhao Zhen thought so, Kou Zhun said this twice, and both times he was moved.

This is kind of to his heart.

He has witnessed the vassals of the Great Song Dynasty from arrogant to deferential to the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty used to be very generous to the vassals, which led to many vassals being the unjust leaders of the Great Song Dynasty, not only seeking money from the Great Song Dynasty through tribute, but also using the Great Song Dynasty to maintain their decrees and be powerful and prosperous in the Great Song Dynasty.

Ever since he cut back the gifts given to his vassals, and Koji slaughtered them in the Western Regions.

The vassals were much more well-behaved.

Instead of complaining because of the decrease in the return gifts given to them by Zhao Zhen, they rushed to send rich tributes to the Great Song Dynasty one by one.

Through this incident, Zhao Zhen understood what a big fist is the last word.

If your fist is not big enough, no matter how good you are to others, others will not appreciate it.

If your fist is big enough, even if you push everyone to the ground and beat them, they will smile at you.

The exchanges between the two countries are more than fists, not whose etiquette is good and whose gifts are heavy.

"This time I am angry and raise troops, is it right?"

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun and asked.

Kou Zhun nodded and said: "It's not just a matter of raising troops, it's also a good thing for the official family to leave Beijing." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Zhun suspiciously.

Kou Zhun stared at Zhao Zhen and said in a deep voice: "The official family has the intention to clean up the court, so there is no less planning for this, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and pulled the corners of his mouth dryly.

There are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

calculated the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and did it.

As long as he doesn't admit it, even if the Manchu civil and military forces guess the inside story, they will pretend to be deaf and dumb.

But if he admits it, that false reputation will not be able to escape.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun guessed Zhao Zhen's concerns, he did not continue to ask, but continued: "But the official family has cleared the court several times, and has not rectified the court into what the official family wants.

Why is there always a voice that does not follow the thoughts of the officials?

Most of it is for fame and fortune.

This matter still needs to be figured out slowly, and it cannot be solved by dealing with three or two officials.

A few are people with ulterior motives.

Such people will drill holes when they are in danger, and run away when they encounter danger.

It's as slippery as a loach.

As long as the official family is in Bianjing City, they will not appear under the nose of the official family, so that the official family will find them.

Now that the official family has left Bianjing City, Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai are a little difficult to intimidate the ministers.

Naturally, such people can't help but jump out and make waves.

The official family can just take the opportunity to find them out, and then deal with them slowly. ”

After listening to Kou Zhun's words, Zhao Zhen took a deep breath, bowed to Kou Zhun, and said with emotion: "Kou Gong is really the pillar of the country......

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "If it weren't for Ji Er's assassination, the old minister wouldn't have come out." Ji Er always has the means, and will always try his best to help the officials handle all the government affairs of the DPRK and China properly.

Now Ji'er's life and death are unknown.

The old minister couldn't sit in the Wenchang School Hall, do nothing, and watch the Great Song Dynasty, which the official family and Ji Er had worked hard for several years, return to the past. ”

Zhao Zhen saluted again, "Kou Gong's righteousness, I remember it in my heart." ”

Kou Zhun shook his head, "The old minister is old, he has been galloping his horse for a long time, and his body bones are a little unbearable, and he wants to find a place to rest, and he hopes that the official family will be gracious." ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and slowly got up, "You just stay here to rest, and I go to the other frames." ”

Kou Zhun didn't refuse, arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the official ......"

Zhao Zhen got up and went to the front of the carriage, put on his boots, and instructed Gong'e and the eunuchs to serve Kou Zhun well, and add ice to Kou Zhun Bingjian in time to avoid Kou Zhun suffering from heat stroke.

Ice cubes were a rarity for the former Great Song Dynasty.

Every year in the summer, the palace gives ice, which is far more attractive than giving money.

However, the ice cubes are worthless in today's Great Song Dynasty.

The method of making ice has long been spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty.

The method came from Huazhou.

actually said that it was Kou Ji Kou Jingluo's early years in Huazhou, in order to make a living came up with a method.

He sold the ice-making method to a big family in Huazhou in exchange for some money.

After the big Huazhou family got the ice-making method, they didn't hide it privately, but generously shared it with their friends.

Then it gradually spread to the whole Great Song Dynasty.

In the past, the method of making ice was called the Down's Ice Making Method.

Since Kou Ji became famous all over the world, the patriarch of the Tang clan specially stood up and stated that the method of making ice was given to him by taking pity on his old mother when he was in Huazhou and couldn't stand the scorching heat.

There was no talk of money all the time.

Probably afraid that Kou Ji would make trouble for him.

But he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and Kou Ji didn't care about him at all.

Zhao Zhen got out of the carriage and found another carriage to sit in.

Not long after he got into the carriage, a team caught up with him in the rear.

It was a general sent by the Sanya.

There are hundreds of generals, each of whom leads hundreds of parts, and together they form a huge team.

After they caught up with Zhao Zhen, they rushed to Zhao Zhen to give a salute.

Zhao Zhen ordered them to follow behind him, along with the other guards.

and he traveled about five miles.

Four fast horses galloped along the official road.

The soldiers on horseback shouted loudly as they galloped wildly.

"Eight hundred miles in a hurry, give way quickly!"

“……”

Zhao Zhen heard the shouts of the eight-hundred-mile urgent soldiers from a long distance, his face was pale and trembling.

Not only Zhao Zhen, but Chen Lin, who was kneeling on the wheel, turned pale in an instant.

The previous 800 miles rushed into Beijing and brought back Kou Ji was attacked, and his life and death were unknown.

It was only half a day later, and another 800-mile rush came from the northwest.

What message can he bring?

In addition to Kou Ji's death, there is any news worth using the fastest communication channel on the surface, eight hundred miles to expedited.

In order to avoid the abuse of the 800-mile expedited, the imperial court was very strict on the use of the 800-mile expedited.

If Kou Ji is assassinated, he can use 800 miles to expedite.

But if Kou Ji was free of life, if he sent news to the imperial court again, he couldn't easily use eight hundred miles to expedite.

It must be known that when Kou Ji was in the northwest before, he gave birth to Kou Tianci to Yansheng, and he did not dare to use eight hundred miles to send news to Kou Ji urgently.

Of course, with Kou Ji's authority, if he had to abuse the eight-hundred-mile rush, it would be difficult for others to accuse him of this.

But the previous 800-mile urgent soldier sent a message, and the letter clearly stated that Kou Ji had been assassinated, and his life and death were unknown.

Kou Ji must have been seriously injured, and even if he didn't die, he was probably in a coma, and it was impossible to use eight hundred miles to expedite.

Liu Heng, Gao Chugong and others did not have the authority of Kou Ji, and dared to abuse the eight-hundred-mile expedited.

They dispatched eight hundred miles to expedite it, which must have been to convey the news of Kou Ji's death.

"Go! Bring him to me quickly! ”

Zhao Zhen almost shouted at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin knew the seriousness of the matter, he quickly got out of the carriage barefoot, kicked a drowsy eunuch sitting on horseback off the horse, and in the eunuch's stunned eyes, he rode a horse to meet the eight-hundred-mile urgent soldier and rushed up.

Chen Lin came and went like the wind, and it didn't take long to grab the soldiers who were in an urgent hurry for eight hundred miles to Zhao Zhen's carriage.

Chen Lin knew that Zhao Zhen was anxious, and he didn't pay attention to those vulgar etiquette, so he took the soldiers into the carriage.

Zhao Zhen was really anxious, so he didn't care about this.

After the soldier appeared in the carriage, he asked in a trembling voice with some timidity and fear, "But the news of my fourth brother?" ”

The soldier looked confused.

On the way to deliver the message, he was suddenly attacked, dragged like a little chicken, and ran all the way to a gorgeous carriage, and before he had time to look around, he was stuffed into the carriage, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the first person in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Smack!"

Seeing that the soldier did not answer Zhao Zhen's words, Chen Lin was anxious and slapped the soldier's head.

The soldier was woken up by Chen Lin's slap.

The soldier hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "When I went back to the official's house, I didn't bring the news of Kou Jingluo. ”

Zhao Zhen was a little flustered, "Isn't it the news of the fourth brother?" Is there a change in the military situation in the Northwest? ”

The soldier nodded slowly, and without waiting for Zhao Zhen to ask, he quickly said: "Kou Jingluo ordered the humble to hurry up and rush to Bianjing City to give an order to the equipment workshop in Ruian Town. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was angry, his angry brows were erected, and he shouted angrily: "Are you playing me?!" I just got the news that the fourth brother was assassinated in the northwest, and his life and death are unknown. Now you tell me that the fourth brother has told you to hurry up and give orders. Are you a three-year-old urchin? ”

Chen Lin felt that everyone who played tricks on the official family should be damned, and he was already ready to unscrew the head of the guy in front of him.

All it takes is Zhao Zhen's order, and he will do it immediately.

The soldier was startled when he heard Zhao Zhen's roar, and after hearing Zhao Zhen's words clearly, the soldier said quickly: "Although Kou Jingluo was assassinated, he only suffered some skin injuries, and after the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, there is no major problem. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was not relieved to the end, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he roared angrily: "The previous messenger told me that the fourth brother was assassinated, and his life and death are unknown. You now tell me that the fourth brother was assassinated and only suffered a few skin wounds.

Surely one of you is deceived.

If the previous messenger is supported by a document, then what you say must be ......"

Zhao Zhen roared half and closed his mouth alive, holding back the rest of the words back to his stomach, he almost didn't hold back his internal injuries.

It wasn't that he was willing to hold back the words back into his stomach, but the soldier took out something with an aggrieved look and blocked his mouth.

"Fourth Brother's Arrow?"

Zhao Zhen stared at the arrow in the soldier's hand in a daze.

The order arrow thing, to a certain extent, is not much different from the tiger talisman, forging the order arrow, or pretending to send a message through the order arrow, no matter how big the official is, the head has to be moved.

Inside and outside the court, there are few people who can command arrows.

Those who are qualified to give orders with arrows must first have the power to open the government.

Those who are qualified to open a government and build a government must add the position of the three divisions of the government and the government.

The opening ceremony is the same as the three divisions, not the second grade, and those who have made great contributions to the court are not added.

Kou Ji did not have the position of Kaifu Yi and the Third Division.

Therefore, the arrow used by Kou Ji was given by Zhao Zhen.

Up and down the government and the opposition, one and only.

Under the pretense of Zhao Zhen's order arrow, it is not much different from the crime of rebellion.

The heads of all three tribes have to be moved.

Therefore, no one dared to pretend to use the order arrow given by Zhao Zhen to pass the order.

The soldier can take out the arrow given by Zhao Zhen to Kou Ji, and his words are naturally true.

Zhao Zhen's head was a mess, and his mood was as complicated as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Zhao Zhen forcibly suppressed his complicated feelings, stared at the soldier and said in a deep voice: "I will tell me all the beginning and end of the assassination of my fourth brother." ”

Zhao Zhen did not say anything about the punishment for concealing and not reporting.

But the soldiers did not dare to hide anything from him.

The soldier quickly and concisely used his own words to tell Zhao Zhen what happened before and after Kou Ji's assassination.

After Zhao Zhen listened to it word for word, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "According to what you said, the fourth brother was assassinated, but he was only knocked out by his guards, and he was stained with the blood of his guards, so that people mistakenly thought that the fourth brother was seriously injured and his life and death are unknown?" ”

The soldier nodded decisively.

Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "It's okay for the fourth brother to be fine." ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Zhen said again: "But Liu Heng didn't figure out the situation, so he dared to report it to me, and I have been worried for so long, it's really hateful." I remember that he had a meritorious role in killing Xiao Xiaomu, and helped me open a state in the Great Song Dynasty, so I won't cut his title.

But a meal of the board is indispensable. ”

"Chen Lin!"

"The slave is here!"

After learning that Kou Ji was not worried about his life, Chen Lin was also relieved, and his mood was much happier.

Others think that the current Zhao Zhen is crazy and terrible.

But Chen Lin knew that Zhao Zhen was not the craziest time now.

All the actions made by Zhao Zhen now are just based on the sentence 'life and death are unknown'.

Once Zhao Zhen confirmed that Kou Ji was dead and saw Kou Ji's corpse, he would definitely make even more crazy moves.

Zhao Zhen at that time was the most terrifying.

Fortunately, Kou Ji is worry-free, and he doesn't have to worry about Zhao Zhen going crazy.

"Send two people to the northwest with water and fire sticks, and beat me hard."
