"When I was in Qingtang, Uchiko was already pregnant, but you urgently called me back to Beijing, and I didn't watch the child be born......"

Liu Heng said casually.

Kou Ji was slightly stunned for a moment, and said apologetically: "I didn't expect ......"

Liu Heng smiled indifferently: "Fourth brother doesn't have to feel guilty, you and I don't need to be angry." You urgently summoned me back to Beijing because of something big happening in Bianjing City. I can't leave these big things behind because of the love of my children.

If I hadn't returned to Beijing this time, I wouldn't have advised my father to hide in the house and not interfere in my aunt's affairs.

I'm afraid that my Liu Mansion will end up in the same fate as the Wangfu today. ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, "That's good......"

"Go back and bring your son over and let me meet ......"

"That's the way it should be......"

“……”

Neither of them is a scheming person, and they will not dwell on such a trivial matter.

After chatting a few words, Kou Ji continued to ask: "So, what is the matter with your wife holding her son who is less than a year old to Bianjing City?" ”

Mention of this.

Liu Heng's expression looked a little solemn.

"A month ago, Li Yuanhao, the son of Li Deming, led 3,000 iron cavalry and 40,000 servants, raided the Ganzhou Uighurs, broke through Xiliang and Xuanhua, and beheaded the Ganzhou Uighur Khan outside Xuanhua City, and is now recovering the entire territory of Ganzhou.

This matter spread to Qingtang, and some leaders close to Western Xia in Qingtang were faintly turbulent.

After Qingtang Zampu Jiaoluo noticed this, he ordered An Ziluo to lead the crowd to the frontier to prevent Western Xia from invading Qingtang.

On the other hand, he sent people to eradicate dissidents in Qingtang.

In order to prevent Uchiko from being damaged in this fluctuation, An Ziluo sent Uchiko to escort him to Bianjing City. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Yuanhao led the crowd to raid the Uighurs in Ganzhou and beheaded the Uighur Khans in Ganzhou, why haven't I heard anyone mention this matter?" ”

Liu Heng said in a deep voice: "It only took Li Yuanhao three days to break through Xiliang, and seven days to break through Xuanhua. He attacked the Uighurs in Ganzhou with lightning speed, and the news did not have time to get out.

Moreover, I heard that Li Deming repeated his old tricks, and in order to prevent the Ganzhou Uighurs from asking for help from our Great Song Dynasty, he once again blocked all the main roads from the Great Song Dynasty to the Ganzhou Uighurs. ”

Kou Ji frowned and repeated the key words in Liu Heng's words, "Break the West Liang in three days...... Seven days to break the Xuanhua...... Three Thousand Iron Riders...... 40,000 servants...... Iron Harrier?! ”

Liu Heng asked, "What is an iron harrier?" ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice, "A heavy armored ......"

When Liu Heng heard this, his face was very ugly.

How strong the combat effectiveness of the heavy armored cavalry is, Liu Heng knows it.

This time the Eight Kings were in turmoil, and the Tiger Army played a key role in quelling the rebellion.

The combat effectiveness of the Tiger Army is also obvious to all.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the auxiliaries can create a battlefield that is favorable to the Tiger Army, the Tiger Army can defeat one enemy with one hundred.

The heavy armored cavalry of Western Xia, compared to the tiger army, will only be stronger, not weaker.

"Fourth brother, when you built the Tiger Army, I know how much money you put into it. The Western Xia had been defeated one after another, frequently lost land, and compensated the imperial court with a lot of money...... How could Western Xia create a heavy armor horse? ”

Implication.

Western Xia is so poor, how can he have the money to build a heavy armor horse.

Kou Ji shook his head and said, "It's not a day or two since Xixia was preparing to build an iron harrier. When the Tielin Army of the Liao State and the Jingsai Army of the Great Song Dynasty were dominant on the battlefield, they had already begun to secretly prepare for the establishment of the Iron Harrier.

Previously, when the Western Xia and my Great Song Dynasty were fighting, the Iron Harrier should have been just a prototype.

After the defeat of the Western Xia, the Western Xia should have stepped up the time to prepare for the construction of the Iron Harrier in order to be ashamed.

The envoys of the Western Xia returned to the Western Xia after seeing the power of the Tiger Character Army in my Great Song Dynasty, and should have informed Li Deming of the matter.

Li Deming has seen the Jingsai Army and the Tielin Army.

Coupled with the experience of the Tiger Army, the Iron Harrier was quickly born.

Although the Western Xia frequently lost land and compensated a large amount of money, the Western Xia still had enough financial resources to prepare for the construction of the Iron Harrier. ”

With the temperament of Li Deming and Li Yuanhao's father and son, after the Great Song Dynasty suffered a loss, in order to be ashamed, even if everyone in Western Xia tightened their belts, they would prepare for the construction of an iron harrier.

Liu Heng sighed and said worriedly: "Li Deming, Li Yuanhao, I picked a good time." ”

Liu Heng's tone was full of worry and helplessness.

Li Deming, Li Yuanhao and his son, the peeping into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty has never been cut off.

Now that their father and son have a powerful heavy armor horse in their hands, it is a great threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

But Da Song couldn't do anything about them for the time being.

The rebellion of the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan has caused turmoil in Bianjing City, and the Great Song Dynasty is also in turmoil.

Before the internal affairs of the Great Song Dynasty were properly handled, it was impossible for the imperial court to send soldiers and horses out to fight against the Western Xia.

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Their father and son probably chose to do it at this time. ”

Kou Ji looked sideways at Liu Heng, "You sort this matter into a book as soon as possible and hand it to the inner court." Send someone to the border of Western Xia again to check the spies of the Imperial City Division in the northwest. Why Qingtang already knows the news, I don't know until now. It's up to the people of Qingtang to tell us. I will write to my grandfather and ask him to give the two major strategies of Dongping Road and Xiping Road, so that they can strictly prevent Western Xia from committing crimes. ”

Liu Heng nodded and left the street.

Kou Ji did not go home, but went to the Yizi Shop, and entrusted the documents that Kou Zhun gave him to Mu Chong and the three of them, and the three of them came forward to cooperate with the court to solve the trouble of the Jiaozi Shop.

After explaining the matter.

Koji returned to the house alone.

He rested for two days.

Liu E's note handed over to the inner courtyard was quickly approved by Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun ordered Liu Heng to temporarily take charge of the entire Imperial City Division as the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division, and secretly monitor all the movements of Western Xia.

Besides.

And there was no other reaction.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty is in turmoil, it is not good for Kou Zhun to send soldiers and horses to conquer Western Xia without consulting Li Di and Lu Yijian.

Although when the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan rebelled, the two guards of the Dragon God, Tianwu and the Japanese armies did not hurt their muscles and bones.

But with the rebellion led by the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, some hidden problems were also revealed.

The city defense of Bianjing City had serious problems.

When Zhou Huaizheng rebelled, he led people to attack the imperial city, and it can be excused that Zhou Huaizheng dispatched the elite of the Great Song Dynasty.

But the eighth king, Zhao Yuanyan, led a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to attack the imperial city, so there was no way to shirk it.

Therefore, before the rearrangement of the city defense of Bianjing City was completed, the two armies of Longshen, Tianwu and Zhuri could not attack without authorization.

There was a time when Western Xia re-emerged, which was terrifying.

But Bianjing, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is like a paper paste, and it has been broken twice, which is even more terrifying.

It has to be addressed.

Kou Ji had known about this result for a long time, so he didn't dwell on this issue.

With the assistance of Xue Tian and Liu Heng, he sent people to arrest Xia Zhu.

It took half a month, and there was no trace of Xia Zhu.

After Xia Zhu left Bianjing City, he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and he couldn't touch it at all.

Kou Ji felt that unless Xia Zhu took the initiative to jump out in the future, it would be difficult to catch Xia Zhu.

It is worth mentioning.

Yan Shu this person.

was not burned to death in Liu E's bedroom.

When Zhao Zhen stole the dragon and turned the phoenix, Yan Shu was abandoned by Liu E and did not follow Liu E.

When Zhao Yuanzuo led his men to chase Liu E, Yan Shu found an opportunity to escape and escaped from Liu E's palace.

In the palace, like a mouse, he hid for two days.

was finally captured by Chen Lin's men and sent to Kou Ji.

This man is a celebrity who will go down in history.

Unfortunately, Koji didn't plan to rescue him.

Involved in the rebellion, he is still a felony who has been named, and it is difficult for Koji to rescue him.

It is not without celebrities who died at the hands of Kou Ji that will go down in history.

Kou Ji didn't mind having one more.

In mid-April.

The families of the convicts who needed to be exterminated by the Nine Clans were all escorted to Bianjing City.

Kou Ji put on his official uniform and rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market.

accompanied the squire of the criminal department, and beheaded those prisoners and the families of the prisoners.

Dozens of executioners, after the knife, slashed and killed for a full ten days before they slashed a group of prisoners and their families to a clean kill.

After Kou Jijian finished beheading, after returning to Kou Zhun, he was assigned another errand by Kou Zhun.

Kou Ji led the Ministry of Industry up and down, and presided over the reconstruction work after the military disaster in Bianjing City.

Early May.

The important ministers who went to various places to suppress the rebellion all returned triumphantly.

A grand celebration was held in the palace to celebrate them.

Meantime.

After discussing with Li Di and Lu Yijian, Kou Zhun made major changes to the system of the imperial court.

The second guard of the dragon god, who originally guarded the imperial city, was deposed from the duty of guarding the imperial city and moved from the imperial city to the military camp outside the city.

The heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city fell on the heads of the Tianwu and Japanese armies.

The Tianwu and Japanese armies began to guard the triple gate of Bianjing.

Major changes have also been made to some positions in the Tianwu and Japanese armies.

Furthermore.

After Li Zheng was sentenced.

The three divisions have no leader.

After discussing with the two rulers of the inner court, Kou deposed the three divisions and assigned the powers of the three divisions to the six departments.

The military envoys of the palaces, during the rebellion, did not fulfill their due duties, except for the envoys of Jingling Palace and Yanfu Palace, the other envoys were all deposed.

Six divisions of power were delegated.

The powers of the six ministries have been strengthened like never before.

In addition to the Ministry of War, the remaining five departments have become a complete and powerful yamen.

The six ministries have become the largest real power yamen in addition to the inner court and the Privy Council.

In addition to the institutional changes in the imperial court.

The change in officials is also huge.

The rebellion of the Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan involved countless officials.

Liu E is plotting behind her back, and there are not a few officials involved.

After these officials were cleared, many empty seats were placed in the court.

Under the auspices of Kou Zhun, the officials in the court made a big change.

Gao Chu Gong, who was awarded the title of privy envoy for his merits, took over the position of Cao Yun.

Xue Tian picked up a bargain, made up for it in the inner court, and became a political counselor.

Zhang Zhibai was transferred from Nanjing to Bianjing City and served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Kou Ji was transferred to the Ministry of Officials and served as the official Cao Shangshu.

Wang Qinruo, the former secretary of the ministry, was beheaded, and there was no secretary in the ministry, so Kou Ji, the powerful official Cao Shangshu, can be regarded as the biggest ruler of the ministry.

Wang Zeng still served as the secretary of the Criminal Department.

The post of head of the household department was held by Zhang Shixun, the former prefect of Jiangning and a scholar of Jixian Palace.

The post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry was promoted by Wang Yunsheng, a waiter of the Ministry of Industry.

To Kou Ji's surprise, there was a great change in the book of the military department.

Kou Ji is willing to do it, and Cao Wei will sit in the position of the secretary of the military department.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court promoted Cao Wei to the position of privy deputy envoy and hung it high.

The secretary of the military department was appointed by Li Zhaoliang.

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and understood the court's intention in doing this.

After the Cao family showed their loyalty, under the recommendation of Kou Ji, Cao Tong sat in the position of the manager of the Yizipu.

Empress Cao, under the recommendation of Kou Zhun, became the rightful lord of the Six Palaces.

The power of the Cao family suddenly became very huge.

The imperial court naturally needs to take action to restrain it to avoid the Cao family's power being too great.

First there was the rebellion of Zhou Huaizheng, and then there was the rebellion of the eighth king Zhao Yuanyan, and the officials of the government and the opposition have become very sensitive in their hearts, and they naturally do not want to see similar things happen.

After several years of hard work, he finally saw the results, and Kou Ji was also very pleased.

So I asked the court for a two-month long vacation, and I planned to send it well.

Kou Zhun didn't leave the palace in a hurry, and dealt with government affairs in the palace for a long time.

Zhao Zhen, comforted by Kou Ji and Queen Cao, was in a much better mood and reappeared in the court.

Kou Zhuncai picked up his pick, returned to the outside of the city, and continued to establish his own academy.

It's just that not long after Kou Zhun returned to the mansion, Li Di came to the door.

Li Di arrived at Kou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door of the Kou Mansion Courtyard, he saw Kou Ji walking his legs with Xiang Yan in his arms.

A chubby, round fat guy, on all fours, followed behind Kou Ji and the others, crawling cutely.

Li Di saw Kou Ji carefully supporting Xiang Yan, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Kou Ministry, Yan has been pregnant for less than two months, and she has not yet shown her pregnancy, so you are doing this, isn't it a bit of a fuss?" ”

Since learning that Liu Heng has a son, Cao Tong's two concubines are also pregnant.

Not to be outdone, Kou Ji worked hard, and after some hard work, he successfully made Xiang Yan pregnant with a child.

After Xiang Yan became pregnant, she could excite the people of Kou Mansion and Xiang Mansion.

Kou Zhun had to come back every day after dealing with the trivial matters on the construction site of the academy.

There was only one breath left in Xiang Minzhong, who was hanging, noisy, and moved to Koufu, and every day he had to take a look at Xiang Yan's flat belly, and let people help Xiang Yan diagnose his pulse, and only after confirming that it was a happy pulse, would he fall asleep.

Kou Ji also became very nervous under the infection of the two old men.

Every day in his spare time, he always has to help Xiang Yan to walk his legs.

Kou Ji helped Xiang Yan, heard Li Di's dissatisfied voice, and pouted: "You care about me...... My grandfather was in the middle of the mountain watching the craftsmen building houses, you find my grandfather, go to the mountain......"

Now Kou Ji can be regarded as a member of the court.

Qualified to speak loudly to Li Di.

Li Di heard Kou Ji's words, blew his beard and glared: "Stinky boy, just after being promoted, he lost his temper." Don't talk about etiquette at all, that's how your grandfather taught you? ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "My grandfather said, when I see you, don't give you a good face." He also said that if you hadn't stopped him, the money given by the official family and the queen would be enough for him to train tens of thousands of students from poor families for the imperial court.

He said that you are obviously from a poor family, but you are unwilling to seek benefits for the poor students, and your conscience is broken, so let me have less contact with you. ”
