Kou Zhun entered the backyard with a straight face, and when he saw Kou Ji reprimanding Kou Tianci, he snorted, picked up Kou Tianci and went elsewhere, Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhong who was following Kou Zhun suspiciously.

"My grandfather is ......"

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "The old lady is in a good mood......

Kou Ji's face instantly became strange, "Grandfather, is this in a good mood?" ”

Kou Zhong smiled and nodded.

The look on Kou Ji's face was even more strange.

Who hums when they're happy?

Tsundere people will hum around when they are happy.

Kou Zhun is old, and he is still arrogant?

Aren't you afraid of being disliked?

Kou Zhong seemed to guess Kou Ji's thoughts through Kou Ji's reaction, the smile on his face was a little more bitter, and after glancing at Kou Ji, he chased after Kou Zhun and left.

Kou Ji didn't want to stay in the courtyard alone, and stepped back to the flower pavilion in the backyard.

Flower pavilion.

Xiang Yan held her bulging belly with one hand and a scroll in the other, teaching Zhao Xu in a whisper.

Zhao Xu sat like a monkey everywhere, scratching her ears and cheeks, obviously not liking to listen to the things that Xiang Yan handed her.

After Zhao Su heard Kou Ji's footsteps, he immediately looked at Kou Ji, and after seeing Kou Ji, his eyes were happy, and then he cast a distressed look at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji pretended not to see her eyes and walked away from the Flower Pavilion.

Zhao Xu made a few grimaces at Kou Ji's back.

Xiang Yan coughed lightly, took a ring ruler and tapped it on the stone table in the flower pavilion.

Zhao Xu sat down obediently with an aggrieved face.

Zhao Zhen handed over Zhao Su to Kou Ji, mainly to let Kou Ji guide Zhao Su back to a normal girl.

After Zhao Su arrived at the Kou Mansion Courtyard, her true form was revealed, and Kou Ji didn't need to teach her anymore.

Kou Ji still knows nothing about the scriptures that the scholars learn, and he doesn't know anything about the things that everyone learns.

In order to prevent Zhao Su and Kou Tianci from getting together to harm the poultry and flowers in the courtyard of Kou Mansion, Kou Ji decisively threw Zhao Xu to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan used to be in Bianjing City, and she was also a famous talented woman.

It's just that after marrying Kou Ji, in order to take care of Kou Ji's ignorance, he rarely sells his knowledge.

With her talent, teaching Zhao Xu is definitely more than enough.

Kou Ji wandered around the courtyard, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to him, so he simply hid in the study to read.

That's right, a book.

Koji asked Hatuk to get the books from the Baghdad Hall of Wisdom to the Great Song Dynasty, partly for the scientific knowledge in them, and on the other hand, to establish a foundation for the knowledge he wanted to impart.

Kou Ji had long wanted to pass on some of the knowledge he had learned.

It's just that there is no reliance and no foundation, and the knowledge he imparts is like a rootless one, and it is difficult to stand in the world.

In order to find some foundation for his own knowledge, Kou Ji can pass on the knowledge he wants to impart.

Now that Hatuk has transported the books in the Baghdad Wisdom Hall to the border of the Great Song Dynasty, I believe that it will not be long before he will be secretly sent to Bianjing City by the people of Wu Desi.

The foundation that Kou Ji needed had arrived, and Kou Ji naturally wanted to take advantage of his leisure time to write down some of the knowledge he wanted to impart.

In order to test the water, Kou Ji decided to start with the most acceptable aspect of the Great Song Dynasty.

The hundred craftsmen deal with craftsmen, and they can't impact Confucian culture.

Now Kou Ji is faintly cited by craftsmen as a generation of grandmasters, and the books he has written are easy to be recognized by the top and bottom of the Great Song Dynasty.

The ancients wrote books in great detail, especially the books on the hundred crafts, which were even more detailed.

Take the plow, for example.

When the ancients wrote books, they could record all the forging processes of a plow in detail, such as the materials, the heat of calcination, the time of quenching, the number of forging, and so on

Even the selection of iron and the source of iron will be recorded in it.

Therefore, when Kou Ji was writing his book, he needed to spend some effort to collect some of the data to improve his book.

Kou Ji was bored in the house and quietly wrote a book.

Zhao Zhen hid in the palace and pretended to be sick.

Lu Yijian and the others were in a hurry, they ran to the palace to make trouble, there were three living ancestors in the palace, namely Concubine Li, Concubine Yang, and Concubine Du, none of whom they could afford to provoke.

They ran to the gate of the Koufu Courtyard to make trouble, and ran into a very unreasonable living ancestor.

Now Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen are protected by four living ancestors, and they are helpless against Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.

After the group fled from the gate of the Koufu Annex, they reunited to Lu Yijian's mansion.

Lu Fu.

On the main hall.

Wang Zeng frowned and asked Lu Yijian, "Now that the official family and Kou Ji are avoided, even if we want to find an excuse to let the official family dispel the idea of letting Kou Ji take the literary exam, it is impossible."

Do we really want to watch the official family hand over the civil and military test to Kou Ji to preside?

As soon as this example is opened, if there are favored ministers like Ding Wei and others in the future to follow suit and take the opportunity to recruit protégés, wouldn't the Great Song Dynasty be in chaos? ”

Zhang Zhibai nodded approvingly on the side and said: "If it's just a favored minister, then it's okay, it can't threaten the people, it can't threaten the community." But if it is a traitor, then the country is in danger. ”

Lu Yijian said with a gloomy face: "The official family is now avoided, and Kou Ji's kid is hiding in the mansion, so Kou Zhun can stop us." We can't see them, and it's useless to say more. ”

Wang Zeng hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "Then find a way to force them out." ”

"How?"

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai looked at Wang Zeng in unison.

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "The official family cares about government affairs, and Kou Ji cares about military affairs, so it is better to force them out with government affairs and military affairs." ”

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai thought about it for a while, and Zhang Zhibai slowly shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate, the official family can't be bullied." ”

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said, "Then take Kou Ji and let's go to the Privy Council." ”

Lu Yijian and the three of them made a decision, and rushed to the Privy Council.

After arriving at the Privy Council, he found that there were only three or two kittens left in the Privy Council.

After inquiring, I found out that Kou Ji was on sick leave, and Zhu Neng also took leave under the pretext of marrying his grandson.

Before Zhu Neng returned home, he specially dispatched all the officials who could be dispatched in the Privy Council.

Now there are only two clerks left in the Privy Council, and the janitor.

It is impossible for Lu Yijian and the three of them to be embarrassed by the two clerks and the gatekeeper, so they can only return with a feather.

Out of the Privy Council, I didn't go far.

Someone mentioned that it was said that he was on duty in the Sanya.

Then a group of people poured into Sanya.

After Chong Shiheng learned that Lu Yijian and his party had arrived in Sanya, he guessed that something was wrong and resolutely hid in the White Tiger Festival Hall.

Then, through the door of the White Tiger Festival Hall, he confronted Lu Yijian and the others.

Lu Yijian and others were embarrassed by Shiheng in Sanya, and wanted to use this to force Kou Ji to come out, and their actions attracted the attention of everyone in Bianjing City.

Someone of good deeds inquired and found that it was all caused by a poem written by Koji.

Then I tried my best to inquire about the song "Ai Lian Said" that Kou Ji took out.

By the way, I also heard the news that Kou Ji was about to serve as the chief examiner of Enke.

Then, the news instantly spread throughout Bianjing City, and then quickly spread to the Great Song Dynasty.

An Enke examiner, before Enke began, made a poem, and spread it, what the result was, it is self-evident.

Those who are going to participate in Enko, still don't they hold it up to heaven?

Just three days.

"Ai Lian Said" was praised as the world's first masterpiece.

Seven days later.

"Ai Lian Said" has been praised as a rare masterpiece in a century, there are literati and ink writers chanting loudly in the downtown area, and there are also dusty women, who arranged it into a small song and dedicated it to the guests.

In short, the Kou Ji people were hiding in the house, but Bianjing City fell into a kind of madness because of him.

Ten days later.

Kou Ji accidentally added a lot of poetry works under his name.

Someone put the poems written by some incognito masters on Kou Ji's head.

There are also some people who put their poems on the name of Kou Ji and put them out to sell.

In Xiwazi City in Bianjing City, there were suddenly many more Kou Gong stalls.

What is Kou Gong Tan?

It is a stall where the goods sold are related to Kou Gong.

Kou Gong here does not only refer to Kou Zhun, but also to Kou Ji.

Now Kou Zhun is called the big Kou Gong, and Kou Ji is called the little Kou Gong.

The businessmen in Bianjing City are also smart, and they know that Kou Ji is now prosperous, and he is the main examiner of Enke, so he must be sought after by scholars all over the world, so he decisively uses the reputation of Kou Mansion to make money.

There are those who sell the authentic works of the big and small Kou Gong that flow out of the Kou Mansion, and there are also things that have been used by the big and small Kou Gong.

All sorts of things, miscellaneous things, everything.

Lu Yijian and the others did not pay attention to this matter, and they blocked Chong Shiheng for ten days in Sanya.

Chong Shiheng was aggrieved and nested in the White Tiger Festival Hall of Sanya for ten days.

Sanya.

In front of the White Tiger Festival Hall.

Chong Shiheng stared helplessly at Lu Yijian and the others outside the door: "Three, we have no grievances in the past, and no enemies today, why are the three of you staring at me?" ”

Lu Yijian sat outside the White Tiger Festival Hall, staring at Chong Shiheng, and said in a deep voice: "You just need to promise to send a letter to Kou Ji......

Chong Shiheng smiled bitterly: "You want me to lie about the military situation, but I am in the White Tiger Festival Hall, how can I joke about the military situation?" Aren't you embarrassed for me? ”

"Then you ...... come out"

"Shall I go out? If I go out, will you not eat me alive? ”

"You come out, we don't move you. All you need is to write a letter or send someone to deliver a message. ”

"I'm not a three-year-old naughty boy, how could I do something like you."

“……”

Chong Shiheng accompanied Lu Yijian to fight for a long time.

The documents of the inner court suddenly appeared in front of the three ya, and when they arrived at the White Tiger Festival Hall, they whispered in Wang Zeng's ear.

After listening to the words of the paperwork, Wang Zeng's face changed slightly.

"Something went wrong......"

Lu Yijian and Zhang Zhibai looked at Wang Zeng in unison.

Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "Some barbarians in Yongzhou, after being incorporated into the Yong'an Army, did not obey the strict military discipline of the forbidden army, and clashed with the captains in the army.

Three lieutenants were beheaded, and dozens of soldiers were killed.

Some of the barbarians did not escape from the barracks and were wandering around Yongzhou.

Zhang Lunzuo asked us to issue a document and let the yamen and soldiers from all over the country cooperate with him to arrest him.

The general of the Yong'an Army also sent a note to the Privy Council, asking the Privy Council to issue a document allowing them to transfer heavy troops to search the entire territory of Yongzhou. ”

After the reform of the military system, there were some restrictions on the deployment of troops and horses.

If a foreign enemy comes to attack, the generals of each army can make arbitrary decisions on the spot.

However, if there is no foreign enemy to attack, the movement of the forbidden army in more than 5,000 must go through the Privy Council.

Now the Yong'an Army obviously has more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to leave the camp, but without the order of the Privy Council, they cannot act.

Lu Yijian heard Wang Zeng's words and sighed, "We lost ......"

Zhang Lunjuan asked the troops and horses of the local yamen to assist, and they could also issue an order through the military department.

However, in order for the Yongan Army to leave the camp, it must pass through the Privy Council.

In order for the Privy Council to issue an instrument, it must have two seals in one.

Now the two men in charge of the Privy Council seal are in hiding.

To invite them out, Lu Yijian and the others could only relent.

Lu Yijian and the others seemed to be embarrassed by Shiheng, but they were actually confronting Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.

Now that there has been an accident in Yongzhou, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen must be invited to come forward, and they have to give in to Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.

"Go to the ...... of the Shishido"

Lu Yijian let out a long sigh and left Sanya with Wang Zeng and the others.

Out of the Privy Council, Lu Yijian dismissed the hundred officials, and only took Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai into the palace and arrived at the Zishi Hall.

After arriving at the Zishitang.

On the one hand, Lu Yijian ordered someone to go to Li Zhaoliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and on the other hand, he sent someone to persuade Zhao Zhen to persuade him of soft words.

After Lu Yijian's soft words reached Zhao Zhen's ears, Zhao Zhen's illness was cured without medicine and quickly appeared in the Shishitang.

When Zhao Zhen arrived at the Shishitang, Lu Yijian looked at Zhao Zhen's steady steps, ruddy complexion, and loud voice, and there was no appearance of a serious illness at all, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

How about you cover it up?

If you cover it up, maybe I'll feel better!

Zhao Zhen arrived at the Shishitang, and the Malaysian Golden Dao sat down on the main seat in the Shishitang, and after the three of them gave the salute, he said with a smile: "The three Aiqing all agree that Kou Ji will be the chief examiner of the Enkewen exam?" ”

Without waiting for Lu Yijian and the three of them to speak again, Zhao Zhen smiled heartily: "I know that the three Aiqing are well aware of righteousness, and sooner or later they will follow my wishes." ”

Wang Zeng was disgusted, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Official, Kou Ji's appointment as the chief examiner of the Enkewen exam will come back, the most important thing at the moment is the military affairs in Yongzhou."

Should the official family summon Kou Shumi's to the palace to discuss the matter together? ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, the smile on his face narrowed a little, and said: "My Great Song treats them well, I really don't know what they are making trouble." When I reformed the military system, I tried my best to include them in the forbidden army.

Not only are they not grateful to me, but they also want to make trouble.

Since they don't want to stay in the forbidden army, then set up another army for them, let's call it the Annan Army.

Since they like to be their own masters, and they have to toss, then I will let them toss enough.

When I checked the tributes in recent days, I found that there were many cracks in the tooth mat offered by Li Chaojin of Jiaozhi.

The envoy of the Li Dynasty said when he offered it, and the tooth seat was like a jade.

Now that there is a crack in the tooth mat, it means that they are guilty of deceiving the king.

Let the Annan Army help me get justice. ”

Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai looked stunned.

Wang Zeng hurriedly said: "Official, is this move too child's play?" ”

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and shouted, "Is it my child's play or their child's play?" I give them a good life, but they have to listen to those wizards and make their own decisions.

I will give them a chance to be in charge and let them see themselves clearly.

Let them know clearly that without me behind their backs, they are just a puddle of mud.

They always think that without my Great Song, they can live a better life than they do now.

As everyone knows, without my Great Song, they are nothing.

Leaving my Great Song Dynasty, they can only be in the company of wild beasts.

Since they are blind, I will let them grow their eyes well. ”

Wang Zeng hurriedly said: "Officials, they go out to fight, but they have to spend a lot of food. ”

Zhao Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "They all have to make their own decisions, and what else do they need?" ”

Wang Zeng said again: "But if they don't pay food, why should they help the court fight?" ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he sneered: "According to what you said, they helped the imperial court fight for food?" If they eat my food, why don't they listen to me?

If they don't listen to me, why should I give them food?

They asked for bread, and I gave them bread?

They want to be their own masters, so I'll let them make their own decisions?

So what am I?

They now dwell in my territory.

They want to be their own masters, and I let them be their own masters.

But I also have to peel off their skin and rent it locally. ”

Zhang Zhibai frowned and said: "The official's move is un......kind."

Zhao Zhen glared and said, "I am not benevolent? What are they doing? If it sounds good, it is called a rebel camp, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a rebellion. I didn't let them be condemned, I was already benevolent. ”

When Zhang Zhibai heard this, he stopped talking.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian didn't care too much about what Kou Ji did to those rebels.

Wang Zeng's main concern was money.

The court doesn't spend money, and he approves of everything.

What Lu Yijian cared about was that the imperial court had the courage to start a war with the Li Dynasty.

The Li Dynasty was preceded by a former Li Dynasty.

The imperial court once fought with the former Li Dynasty and lost.

Therefore, if he rashly sets off a war, whether he will repeat the mistakes of the past is worth considering by Lu Yijian.

But considering that the soldiers who fought were all barbarians, Lu Yijian didn't care too much, as long as they didn't burn the war to the Great Song Dynasty, what they did in the Li Dynasty, Lu Yijian didn't care.

As for whether the Li Dynasty would counterattack the Great Song Dynasty after defeating the barbarians, Lu Yijian was not worried at all.

The Great Song Dynasty is now a genuine overlord on the ground, and after the Liao State was defeated and surrendered, the vassals within the four seas were not respectful to the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Great Song Dynasty doesn't beat them, they will already burn high incense, and they will counterattack the Great Song Dynasty, will they be long-lived?

As for the covenant signed by the two sides, Lu Yijian would not care even more.

After those barbarians left the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty did not admit that they were still a problem.

Lu Yijian didn't have much of an opinion on Zhao Zhen's proposal, but he didn't rush to echo Zhao Zhen, but shirked it, "This matter involves military affairs, it's better to wait for Kou Ji to arrive, discuss it, and then make a decision, what do the officials think?" ”

Lu Yijian originally thought that after he said this, Zhao Zhen would order to summon Kou Ji, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need...... I received the news of the rebellion in the Yongzhou Yong'an Army camp yesterday, and I discussed it with the fourth brother.

Last night, I had already issued a document with my fourth brother to let the general of the Yongan Army lead the troops out of the camp.

Now the document should have left the territory of Kaifeng Mansion.

What I am telling you now is the result of my fourth brother's discussion. ”

When Lu Yijian and the three of them heard this, they opened their mouths wide, and they had the urge to scold their mother.

With the news we got today, you received it yesterday?

We've been excited for a long time, but you've already made a decision?

So what do you want the three of us to do?

More importantly, did we compromise in vain?

Although the three of them thought so in their hearts, they didn't say so.

Because everything Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji did was within the rules.

Now the mobilization of the forbidden army of the entire Great Song Dynasty is in the hands of Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.

No one else could meddle in the matter.

Kou Ji is the privy envoy of the Privy Council, which is one of the two houses comparable to the inner court.

Therefore, even if Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji did not inform them, they could give orders to the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Everything is within the rules, and they don't have much to say.

Whether the two broke the rules or not, together with the errand of the inner court, also made a decision in private.

Lu Yijian and the three of them glanced at each other, and the look in their eyes was extremely complicated.

Through this one thing, they have already felt some differences after the reform of the military system.

Before the reform of the military system, if the Privy Council wanted to mobilize soldiers and horses, it had to be brought to the court and discussed with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even if you don't pass the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you have to discuss it with the three Zaifu of the inner court.

What about after the military reform?

The dispatch of troops does not pass through the inner court at all, as long as Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji nod, the soldiers and horses can be quickly mobilized.

The most important thing is that if Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji don't tell the matter of the transfer of soldiers and horses, then no one knows where they have mobilized that army and horses.

Maybe before you know it, a team of 10,000 soldiers and horses will appear right under your nose.

First into parts, and then into parts, it is simple to make soldiers and horses appear wherever they need to be silent.

If someone wants to go against Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji in the future, the most important thing to do is to keep the good news.

Once the good news is not kept, let the news leak out.

Then when you wake up, it is very likely that you will lie under the gaze of thousands of troops.

Just ask if you're afraid?

After Lu Yijian and the others speculated on this, they felt extremely uncomfortable.

They weren't worried that Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji would mobilize troops and horses to deal with them.

They mainly felt that their power was not weakened, and at the same time, they also felt that the Privy Council was no longer the harmless yamen it used to be, but one of the two governments that was really on a par with the inner court, and it was a yamen that could fight against the inner court.

The Inner Court and the Privy Council have always been called the two mansions in the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that the inner court has always been outstanding, and the Privy Council is a bit unworthy of the name.

After the reform of the military system, the power of the Privy Council increased, and it was different.

The Privy Council became a yamen comparable to the Inner Court.

In the future, the court will no longer be a hall of words in the inner court.
