Kou Zhun and the others surrounded Zhao Zhen, who was speechless, and returned to the Vertical Arch Hall.

As he entered the temple gate, Koji paused slightly.

Chen Lin also stopped, waiting for the ministers to enter the hall before entering.

Kou Ji paced to Chen Lin's side, and said faintly: "Gonggong Chen is really a good means......

Chen Lin glanced at Kou Ji and said nonchalantly, "We don't know what you're talking about......

Kou Ji narrowed his eyes and snorted, "You dare to say that Guo Huai is not your person?" Do you dare to say that those two masters of the instrument prison killed people and cut off their heads, didn't they get your orders? ”

Chen Lin said disdainfully: "Catching thieves and catching stolen goods, there is no evidence, it is better not to talk nonsense in the Ministry of Kougong, our family doesn't want to be targeted by the King of Chu." ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "This is where Gonggong Chen is clever. The witness is dead, and no one can catch you. ”

Chen Lin snorted coldly, didn't pay any more attention to Kou Ji, and stepped into the Vertical Arch Hall.

After entering the hall, he saw Zhao Zhen asking Kou Zhun with a sad face.

"Taishi, how is it now?"

Zhao Yuanzuo blocked the door of Liu E's dormitory, and he had a posture of not dying or retreating.

Zhao Zhen didn't want to take Zhao Yuanzuo by force, but he didn't want to see Liu E die in the palace.

I ran out of ideas for a while.

Kou Zhun sighed, "There is a breath of anger in the chest of the King of Chu, and before the anger in his chest is exhausted, no one can do anything about him." ”

The important ministers in the vertical arch hall began to come up with ideas.

Some people mentioned that following the example of Emperor Taizong, he deposed the official title of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, demoted him to a commoner, and expelled him from the palace.

Some people also mentioned that Liu E was cut off as the queen mother and imprisoned in the palace to atone for his sins, so as to appease the anger of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu.

For a while, there were different opinions, but none of them could get a good suggestion.

There is no one way to get the best of both worlds.

Zhao Zhen once again felt that the imperial court had raised a bunch of wine bags and rice bags.

When Zhao Yuanyan rebelled, a group of important ministers, like quails, ran into the palace and sought refuge.

Liu E appeared in the vertical arch hall, and when she seized power, she saw the wind and steered one by one.

Now that there is no need to worry about his life, one by one he began to spray feces all over his mouth.

"Bang! Shut up! ”

Tonight can be regarded as the most tortured night since Zhao Zhen was born.

Now he is being quarreled by a group of important ministers.

immediately slapped the table and reprimanded.

Seeing this, a group of important ministers shut their mouths one after another.

Zhao Zhen didn't bother with them anymore and set his eyes on Kou Zhun.

Zhao Zhen felt that at this moment, in the Vertical Arch Palace, the only one who could help him get an idea was Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun sighed in his heart, got up slowly, and bowed to Zhao Zhen, "The old minister has already begged for bones, and he shouldn't have said much." But now that the official family is disturbed by everything and can't make up his mind, the old minister will offend once and help the official family to be the master again. ”

Zhao Zhen said with a grateful face: "Everything is up to the master." ”

After saying this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly said to the ministers under the imperial ranks: "The words of the Taishi are what I mean, and you must obey them." ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down and agreed.

Kou Zhun walked to the middle of the second floor of the imperial stairs, and said loudly: "The eighth king Zhao Yuanyan intended to usurp the throne, and has now been executed, Kou Ji, the director of the Ministry of Gougong, together with Liu Heng, the director of the Sealing Pile Division, and Yin Xuetian, the head of the Kaifeng Mansion, led the people of the Imperial City Division, the Kaifeng Mansion and the Criminal Department, arrested the rest of the party, confiscated the property of the rebel party, and confiscated it into the treasury.

The Eight Princes' Mansion went up and down, degraded to the common people, and was assigned to the Yongding Mausoleum, and if they were pardoned, they would not be able to return to the dynasty for the rest of their lives.

All the big and small officials who participated in the rebellion were cut off as a whole, and their families were assassinated in Xiping Road, Xiping Mansion, and they were pacified by Xiping Road and controlled by Shiheng, and if they were not pardoned, they would not be allowed to return to the court for life. ”

Kou Ji and Liu Heng came out of the queue and said hello in unison.

Kou Zhun continued to speak: "With Zhu Neng, Di Qing and others, they led a group of soldiers and horses such as the Tiger Character Army, the Dragon God Second Guard, the Temperance Commander Tianwu, and the Touri to clear out the remnants of the rebels in Bianjing City, clean up the corpses of the rebels in Bianjing City, take care of the rebel prisoners, and capture the rebel people who took the opportunity to make trouble.

In response to the remnants of the rebels, prisoners, and rebellious people, after being arrested and brought to justice, they were assassinated in Yongzhou. ”

Zhu Neng and Di Qing came out of the queue and said hello in unison.

Kou Zhun nodded, his voice was slightly lowered, and continued: "Empress Dowager Liu E, knowing that Zhao Yuanyan intended to usurp the throne, but did not report it, is guilty of bullying the king.

It is also a crime to deceive the monarch without consulting the official family, making decisions without authorization, killing the royal family, and humiliating their corpses.

The two crimes were punished together, and the back position was cut off, and he lived in the dormitory. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything to stop him.

Kou Zhun did not mention that Liu E forced him in the Vertical Arch Hall and asked him to hand over his military power, which can be regarded as maintaining the royal reputation.

Liu E has done so many wrong things, and after investigating it carefully, I am afraid that I will have to list a lot.

When the time comes, not only Liu E will lose face, but the entire royal family will also lose face.

Moreover.

Zhao Yuanzuo is now blocking the door of Liu E's bedroom, obviously trying to force Liu E to death, if Liu E stays in the back position and is forced to death by Zhao Yuanyan, it will be a royal scandal.

Kou Zhun didn't care about Zhao Zhen's thoughts, and when he dealt with this matter, he didn't have any thoughts of communiqué and personal vendettas, and he handled it with a fair heart and in accordance with the laws of the imperial court.

After Kou Zhun cut Liu E's throne, he continued: "Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Chu, committed murder in the palace with a sword, and was suspected of despising the official family, and burned the palace, which is an unforgivable crime.

cut his food and temporarily retain his title of king of Chu to see the after-effects. ”

Kou Zhun spoke out to deal with Zhao Yuanzuo, but he was not afraid that Zhao Yuanzuo would be mad.

When I was at the gate of Liu E's bedroom just now.

Zhao Yuanzuo has made it clear that he wants to hand over the title of his body and the food in his name, and intends to fight Liu E to the end.

Kou Zhun just followed Zhao Yuanzuo's thoughts.

As for the future, the anger in Zhao Yuanzuo's chest disappeared, and Zhao Zhen wanted to treat him well, so he could restore his title and restore his food.

"Wang Qinruo, the secretary of the ministry, accompanied the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne and make a rebellion, deposed all his official positions, and confiscated all his family property, and the matter was dealt with by Kou Ji, Xue Tian, and Liu Heng."

"The third envoy Li Jian, accompanied the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan to usurp the throne and make a rebellion, deposed all his official positions, and confiscated all his family property, and the matter was dealt with by Kou Ji, Xue Tian, and Liu Heng."

"Yan Shu, the son of Zuo, bewitched the queen mother and murdered the royal family, it is a capital crime, depose all his officials, confiscate all his family property, and hand it over to the criminal department for custody, and after the three ministers of the inner court gather, it will be decided by him."

"Xia Zhu, bewitching the queen mother and murdering the royal family is a capital crime, depose all her officials, confiscate all her family property, and hand it over to the criminal department for custody, and after the three ministers of the inner court gather, it will be decided by him."

“……”

Kou Zhun spoke again and again, and one by one, the important ministers became prisoners.

One of the most intriguing is Wang Qinruo.

Wang Qinruo was good at speculation, and bet on Zhao Yuanyan and Liu E at the same time, but he didn't expect that Liu E and Zhao Yuanyan would fall together.

The fact that he helped Zhao Yuanyan to make trouble is now known to the government and the opposition.

He originally wanted to use Liu E to return to the court, wash himself clean, and make a lot of credit.

But now Liu E can't protect herself, and there is no way to protect him.

He can only end up being condemned.

After Kou Zhun finished dealing with the criminals, he said to Kou Ji, Zhu Neng, Liu Heng, Di Qing and others: "You have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion this time, and after the first thing is dealt with, the court will naturally reward you for your meritorious deeds." ”

Kou Ji and the others thanked each other.

After Kou Zhun dealt with everything, he bowed his hand to Zhao Zhen and said: "Official, this time Zhao Yuanyan rebelled, the Queen Mother was implicated, and she was deposed from the throne, and she can no longer command the harem.

But the harem cannot be left without an owner for a day.

Therefore, the old minister invited the queen to take over many matters in the harem and lead the harem. ”

When the civil and military personnel in the hall heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

Some civil servants didn't want to see the Cao family sitting big, so they had the intention to block it, but they couldn't say anything about it.

Because before that, it was Empress Cao, a female streamer, who held a halberd in her hand, guarded the door of the vertical arch hall, and saved their lives in the hands of the rebellious imperial guards.

When Zhao Zhen heard Kou Zhun's words, he was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on Empress Cao, and his eyes were a little softer.

"The Taishi is reasonable...... From today on, the queen will rule the six palaces......"

Zhao Zhen didn't have much friendship with Empress Cao before.

But this time they suffered together, and after seeing the heroic appearance of Queen Cao, they had some friendship with Queen Cao.

When Kou Zhun heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Everything has been dealt with, and the old minister will no longer stay in the palace for a long time, so as not to impeach the old minister for interfering in political affairs." ”

"The old minister retires!"

Kou Zhun flicked his sleeves and walked out, and when he passed by Kou Ji's side, he glared and scolded: "Didn't you see that the old man is old and his legs are not dexterous, so he can't help the old man?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stepped forward, held Kou Zhun's arm, and the grandfather and grandson left the vertical arch hall in steps.

Inside the arched hall.

Everyone was still immersed in Kou Zhun's decisive posture just now.

"Official!"

It wasn't until Empress Cao opened her mouth to remind Zhao Zhen that she slowly came back to her senses and said with emotion: "The Taishi is worthy of being the Taishi, he is decisive in handling things, and he is old!" ”

Empress Cao cried and laughed and said, "Official, you have been deceived by the Taishi. ”

"Huh?"

"The real trouble, the Taishi didn't help you solve the ......"

Zhao Zhen stared in astonishment.

"Uncle Emperor?!"

"Quick! Quickly send someone to invite the Taishi back. ”

“……”

Immediately, some eunuchs chased out of the palace to chase after Kou Zhun's ancestors.

However.

After Kou Ji helped Kou Zhun out of the vertical arch hall in a leisurely manner, Kou Zhun immediately straightened his waist, stared, and ran out with a step.

While running, he shouted at the stunned Kou Ji.

"Still not running?"

"Waiting to be sent to the king of Chu to be hacked?"

“……”

Kou Ji came back to his senses in an instant, and ran out after Kou Zhun's footsteps.

The grandparents and grandchildren are very fast.

was stunned so that the little eunuch who was trotting behind him didn't catch up.

The little eunuch shouted the official names of the two behind his back.

The two fell on deaf ears.

rushed all the way to the outside of the palace.

Kou Ji ordered a tiger army that was waiting for orders outside the palace, and escorted their ancestors and grandchildren all the way to the mansion.

The grandfather and grandson returned to the mansion, closed the door, and sat in the empty main hall, panting and laughing.

"Hahaha......"

"Finally got rid of that big trouble......

Kou Zhun blushed, panting, and told Kou Ji: "In recent days, don't enter the palace, as soon as you enter the palace, you will be caught by the official family and face the king of Chu." The king of Chu is crazy now, he doesn't make sense at all, and he is cut for nothing. ”

Kou Ji nodded heavily.

After taking a breath, Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and asked, "Grandfather really has no way to solve the King of Chu?" ”

Kou Zhun pouted and said, "Let people catch the king of Chu, and just throw him thousands of miles away." If the old man really ordered people to do this, no one could say that the old man was wrong. ”

Kou Zhun turned his head sideways, stared at Kou Ji, raised his voice a few degrees, and snorted, "But why did the old man do this?" What are the benefits of doing this for the old man? ”

Kou Ji was stunned when he heard this.

Kou Zhun continued: "The left and right are all royal family affairs, let the official family have a headache by themselves. ”

Kou Ji couldn't laugh or cry.

Kou Zhun didn't care about Kou Ji's mood, and said with a big grin: "Tomorrow, remember to gather troops and horses to raid Wang Qinruo's mansion." ”

Kou Ji said with a stunned face: "Grandfather still holds a grudge?" ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "The old man was bullied twice by that old ghost, and he has no way to take revenge. Now that he is in your hands, shouldn't you help the old man avenge him? ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly: "It should ...... Should ......"

"Speaking of which, the scene of my grandfather pointing out the country in the vertical arch hall tonight is particularly domineering."

"Hmph...... Although the old man has moved away from the center, they still have to listen to the old man's words. ”

"Grandfather perfectly explained that sentence, your uncle is still your uncle!"

"Your uncle! What about the furnishings in the house? What about the guards in the house? The old man has only lived in another courtyard for a few months, and you have ruined all the money that the old man has saved over the years? ”

After Kou Zhun finished chatting with Kou Ji, he was about to go back to his room to rest, only to find that the main hall was empty.

Immediately pointed at Kou Ji's nose and asked.

Kou Ji smiled dryly and explained: "Grandfather, you have retreated bravely from the rapids, and you have become a sage, and there are countless people who have come to the house to ask for a meeting. Those people are blocked outside the house every day, and the house can't live at all.

So I moved most of the things in the house to the other courtyard, and I sold some unused or old things.

I was also worried that there was no master in the house, and the family members and servants in the house were doing anything in the name of you and me, so I dismissed some of the servants and family members. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's explanation, Kou Zhun was a lot quieter.

He pointed to the empty main hall and snorted coldly, "Then you might as well leave some tables, chairs and benches." ”

Kou Ji hurriedly said: "There is a full set of furniture and furnishings in the Four Monarchs Garden, I will take you there." ”

"Humph......"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly and let Kou Ji take him to the Four Monarchs Garden.

After settling down with Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji searched around the mansion and found the servants he had left in the mansion to guard the mansion.

Several servants are all old servants of Kou Mansion, who have followed Kou Zhun for many years, and have no children or daughters.

Kou Ji kept them to guard the mansion of Kou Mansion.

Several servants were also concerned about the matter.

Every night, they always patrol the mansion in a group to prevent thieves from stealing into the mansion.

So if Kou Ji wants to find them at night, he has to search for them.

Koji found them and told them to prepare some food and water for washing.

The two grandparents and grandchildren washed up briefly in the Sijun Garden, and after eating a meal, they fell asleep.
