Zhao Zhen made a fuss for most of the night, and on the fourth watch, Zhao Zhen was completely drunk.

Chen Lin cautiously entered the backyard and saw that in the pavilion, Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were lying on the ground, sleeping, one big and one small, crawling around the two, tired of climbing, so they sat next to the two of them.

The little one seemed to feel uncomfortable sitting on the ground, so he climbed on Kou Ji's chest, followed Kou Ji's body, climbed onto Zhao Zhen, and crawled back and forth.

Chen Lin's frightened heart almost jumped out, he took small steps and rushed over silently.

"Huh~"

The snowy sword light flashed under the moonlight, and the cold tip of the knife hung on Chen Lin's throat.

Chen Lin's footsteps stopped abruptly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a deep voice: "Our family won't hurt them......"

The sword is shining.

The dumb tiger stood quietly on the edge of the gazebo.

Chen Lin looked at the little guy who was crawling back and forth on Zhao Zhen's body, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said to the dumb tiger: "But our family doesn't allow them to get close to the official family, they are fierce beasts!" ”

The dumb tiger stood in place, stunned for a long time, before turning his head to look at the two figures, one large and one small.

The big figure seemed to feel a little dangerous aura from the dumb tiger, so the person stood up and roared at the dumb tiger.

The dumb tiger tilted his head.

The big figure immediately climbed to the ground, shook his fat big buttocks, and rolled out of the gazebo roundly.

The small figure sat on Kou Ji's chest, sat blankly for a while, and then shook his ass and left.

The dumb tiger quietly left the gazebo.

Chen Lin quickly entered the pavilion, helped Zhao Zhen up from the ground, and whispered to the palace ladies and eunuchs outside the backyard to come in.

The eunuchs and palace ladies wrapped Zhao Zhen in thick blankets and carried Zhao Zhen out of Koufu.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Zhen can be willful.

But in the ancestor worship ceremony on the first day of the new year, Zhao Zhen couldn't be willful.

Chen Lin and others carried Zhao Zhen back to the palace in order to prepare for the ancestor worship ceremony.

After Zhao Zhen, Chen Lin and the others left, Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief, sat up slowly, rubbed his frozen hands, and muttered in a low voice.

"It's horrible......"

Thanks to him, he heard that Zhao Zhen's language was wrong, so he decisively lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.

If he didn't pretend to be dead, God knows what the drunk Zhao Zhen would do with him.

If he messes around all night, after he wakes up, the dragon robe is worn on him, and the fun will be great.

Kou Ji got up, went out of the backyard, beckoned the servants to clean up the leftovers in the gazebo, and went back to the room alone to sleep.

Before going to bed, Kou Ji secretly told himself that he would never drink with Zhao Zhen again in the future.

If you want to drink with Zhao Zhen, you must pull someone else.

It's better to pull in a few enemies.

"Seemingly...... Now in the court, I don't have many enemies......"

Kou Ji muttered and fell asleep.

Half-asleep and half-awake, I felt my chest heavi.

Kou Ji subconsciously thought that it was the little black and white guy sitting on his chest, and then waved his hand unceremoniously.

And then.

Then he couldn't sleep.

An old hand, tugging at his ear, lifted him up from the bed.

Kou Ji opened his eyes in pain, and saw an angry face with all his beards open.

"Grandfather?!"

Kou Zhun tugged at his ear, his face darkened and he didn't speak.

Kou Ji blinked, glanced left and right out of the corner of his eye, and saw that in the corner of his bed, Kou Tianci was sitting pitifully, holding his mouth aggrievedly.

He roughly understood why Kou Zhun was so angry.

It should not be a panda sitting on his chest just now, but his son.

With a casual pull, he pulled his son aside, angering Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji decisively admitted his mistake and said: "Unintentional ...... Heartless ......"

Kou Zhun snorted coldly and let go of Kou Ji's ears.

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, picked up Kou Tianci, who was looking aggrieved in the corner of the bed, and said to Kou Ji: "You tell the cook in the house to prepare more wine and meat, and the old man will have a banquet in the courtyard in the afternoon." ”

Most of the famous scholars in the Wenchang Academy are people who have left their hometowns, and Kou Zhun set up a banquet in the courtyard to entertain them, but also to make them happy and happy, and help them vent their homesickness.

"This matter has always been handled by Yan'er......"

Kou Ji said suspiciously.

Kou Zhun snorted: "Yan'er will take the old man's great-grandson to the festival in a while." ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes.

If you don't have a job as a co-author, you don't have human rights in the house?

Kou Ji complained in his heart, and promised a sentence.

There are few people in the house, and during the New Year's holidays, the manpower is particularly tight.

It's not a strange thing for the head of the house to go into battle in person.

Kou Zhun, Kou Tianci, and Xiang Yan didn't stay long in the house, and after changing into ceremonial clothes, they rushed to the Taimiao Temple in Bianjing City.

It stands to reason that Xiang Yan, a woman, is not qualified to enter the Taimiao.

But considering that Kou Tianci couldn't go to the festival by himself, Xiang Yan followed, and no one would deliberately pick on the thorns.

Xiang Yan is not white.

Although Kou Ji was dismissed from office, Xiang Yan was removed from the title of Mrs. Command.

But the mother is more expensive than the son, and Xiang Yan does not have the life that her husband helped her get, but she has the life that her son helped her get.

Count it up.

The house is now a white body.

In the front hall of the Taimiao, Xiang Yan can enter through Kou Tianci's relationship, but she can't enter the middle hall and apse, so she will let Kou Zhun hold Kou Tianci in.

After the three of Kou Zhun left the house.

Kou Ji took on the form of a chief steward and began to lead the servants in preparing everything needed for Kou Zhun to entertain the guests.

Ritual ceremony.

It lasted from morning to noon.

After the end of the ceremony, Kou Zhun led a group of people to appear in Kou's mansion.

Most of them are over 50 years old, and they all bring students with them.

Those guests who are over fifty years old, Kou Ji knows.

Kou Ji didn't know any of those students.

Kou Ji is familiar with Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and other demons, and now they have been sent to Hexi to study government affairs.

Only a few students with average qualifications remained.

Koji didn't know them, so he didn't bother to hang out with them to chat.

When the guests in their fifties entered the house, he went out to pay a visit, and then hid in the backyard to relax.

Not long after hiding, several villains broke into the door domineeringly.

The banquet that Kou Mansion had just held, because the evil guests came to the door, they could only move to the Wenchang Academy.

The villain who can avoid Kou Zhun and others is just the one in the government and the opposition.

Official Zhao Zhen!

Zhao Zhen not only came by himself, but also brought Empress Cao, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and others.

After Empress Cao arrived at the Koufu Courtyard, she followed Xiang Yan and the others to the attic in the backyard.

Zhao Zhen, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and others sat down in the pavilion in the backyard with Kou Ji.

After sitting down.

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Official, why are you here again?" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Zhao Zhen's face darkened.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian's faces were even darker.

Kou Ji's words reminded the two of them of the fact that last night, Zhao Zhen left the civil and military envoys of the Manchu Dynasty and the envoys of various subordinates and slipped out of the palace.

Zhao Zhen was willful, but he made the two of them miserable.

As the host of the banquet, he ran away halfway.

The two chief stewards have to run left and right, talk to everyone, and be sure to talk to everyone, so as not to make people feel left out.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian didn't stop talking last night, and their throats are still dumb.

Zhao Zhen said to Kou Ji with a dark face: "Can't I come?" ”

Kou Ji laughed dryly and said, "If you can come, you can come......"

Kou Ji glanced at Zhao Zhen, then at Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian, and muttered: "The official family and the two Xiangye entered the mansion together, but there is something serious to discuss?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, brewing and phrasing.

Lu Yijian took the lead and said: "The alliance proposed by our dynasty has been agreed to by all subordinates. The national letters of each reverberation have arrived on the way. In addition to the distant Wa Kingdom and Jiaozhi, the national letters of other subordinates arrived in Bianjing City half a month later.

The official family discussed it with me and decided to let you preside over the signing of the formal covenant in half a month. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "I am a white body, can I preside over the signing of the covenant of various countries?" ”

Lu Yijian glared at Kou Ji and said lightly: "The imperial court will first give you the identity of a concierge house officer, and after half a month, you will be promoted to the head of the concierge house." ”

Kou Ji muttered: "Will it rise a little fast, the people of the Gao Mansion and the people of the Wei Wangfu who have been assigned know about it, will they be angry and vomit blood?" ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng both rolled their eyes and glared at Kou Ji.

If it's cheap, it's still good......

If it weren't for the fact that the official family ignored the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and always ran to you, do you think we are willing to give you a promotion?

If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court is in urgent need of someone who can be used, and someone who can control the field, do you think you can be reinstated?

We wish you could sit on the cold bench for a few more years and kill your arrogance.

"We're down to business, not babbling."

Wang Zeng had a gloomy face and reminded him.

Kou Ji grinned and said, "After the opening of the government, I will go to the protocol to run errands." ”

The first yamen to resume work in the imperial court was also after the eighth day of the first lunar month.

A yamen like the Protocol House will not resume work until after the 15th century.

After fifteen, Kou Ji was the head of the protocol house.

Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian were too lazy to bother with Kou Ji about this.

Lu Yijian said: "Another thing is the use of troops against Liao. Cao Wei played a prestige in the Liao State Post House, which can be regarded as completely offending the Liao State. After attending the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet last night, the Liao envoy left Bianjing this morning.

After the news in Bianjing City reached the Liao State, with the temperament of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he would definitely wave his troops south.

The Liao army arrived at the border of our Great Song Dynasty, and it should be at the beginning of spring.

A few years ago, the Guanjia, Cao Wei, me, and Wang Zeng discussed and sent Cao Wei to the northern border on the pretext of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

The forbidden army soldiers and horses in the north are all under Cao Wei's control.

The Tiger Army is also included.

As the commander of the Tiger Army, you will write a letter to Di Qing and ask him to obey Cao Wei's dispatch. ”

After Kou Ji heard this, Zhengse said, "I'll write a letter to someone to send it out in a while." ”

Lu Yijian continued: "In this war with the Liao State, my Great Song Dynasty is ready to use 300,000 soldiers and horses. 300,000 soldiers and horses are all dispatched by Cao Wei, and the imperial court will not participate in the dispatch of soldiers and horses.

In addition to imitation, I will rush to the north after the Lantern Festival.

The affairs of the court were decided by Wang Zeng for the help of the officials. ”

The use of 300,000 soldiers and horses is indeed a big deal, and it is Cao Wei's full command, and it is reasonable for Lu Yijian to sit in the past.

It's just that Lu Yijian told him why he was doing this?

Lu Yijian quickly solved the doubts in Kou Ji's heart.

Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "This is the first time that my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have started a war, after Tan Yuan. We've made so much preparation, we can't afford to lose.

The worst result is that the two sides will draw and stop and cancel the alliance of our Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute to the Liao State.

This is the only worst-case outcome we can accept.

No matter how bad it is, we can't accept it.

Therefore, the firearms in your hands that can play a vital role on the battlefield must be handed over to the imperial court for use. ”

Lu Yijian's words, Kou Ji could understand.

Da Song finally straightened up his waist and argued with Liao.

If you win, everyone will be happy.

But if he loses, the waist pole that has just stood up may bend down again.

Zhao Zhen, Li Di, Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian, Kou Ji and others spent several years and made so many efforts, but they were in vain.

In the future, if you want to take the initiative to start a big war with Liao, I am afraid it will be very difficult.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "Firearms can be handed over to the imperial court for use, but they must be handed over to trustworthy people for use. The construction of firearms has now fallen into a bottleneck, and it is difficult to manufacture firearms in large quantities before the bottleneck is broken.

Therefore, the firearms I have now are very precious.

One less is a major loss. ”

Lu Yijian said with a straight face: "The old man will personally supervise this matter, one less, I will listen to you." ”

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "That's not it, that thing is in danger of exploding." You may not know much about the bombing. In short, if the thing has been used for a long time, or if there is a deviation in the production process, there is a danger of exploding.

Therefore, damage on the battlefield is inevitable.

The only thing we have to do is keep a good record and make sure that there is wreckage even if it is damaged.

Make sure you keep those things in our hands at all times. ”

Lu Yijian nodded solemnly.

Lu Yijian is also a ruthless person, and during his inspection of the world, he killed many people.

He made a promise to Koji, so he would definitely keep an eye on it.

Kou Ji believes that in the current Great Song Dynasty, few people dare to do anything under the nose of this Tongzhong scholar.

After Lu Yijian nodded, Kou Ji spoke, "I'll send someone to send things over later." ”

After Lu Yijian saw Kou Ji's agreement, he continued: "There is one more thing, the official family and I have not come up with a clue yet. You've always been smart, you can help think about it. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The purpose of Western Xia to provoke my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State to fight?" ”

Lu Yijian nodded and said, "This time, my Great Song Dynasty offended the Liao State because of the Western Xia meddling. If Western Xia doesn't intervene, we don't need to start a big war with Liao before we are ready.

Xixia dared to meddle in it, and it is possible that he already knew the result before he intervened.

For what did Western Xia provoke a war between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom? ”
