It is precisely because of this that Liu E not only can't hurt Concubine Li, but also has to be careful to confess.

It's just that Concubine Li, this woman, is a madman who spoils her son.

Everything follows Zhao Zhen and goes to Zhao Zhen.

Once Zhao Zhen did something wrong, as soon as Liu E reprimanded Zhao Zhen, Concubine Li found Liu E and confessed her mistake.

made Liu E dare not reprimand Zhao Zhen loudly now.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhen, who only dares to communicate with Kou Ji behind his back, has become more and more arrogant, and will blindly protect Kou Ji in the vertical arch hall.

Liu E had the heart to reprimand Zhao Zhen, but as soon as she thought of leaving the Vertical Arch Palace, Concubine Li would find her, and she was pitiful in front of her begging for mercy and crying, so she gave up the idea of reprimanding Zhao Zhen.

Liu E gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "The mourning family will pick some supplements from the palace and send them to Xiao Kou Aiqing." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, and winked at Kou Ji.

When Kou Ji saw this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw that Kou Ji had taken advantage, and pretended to be well-behaved with a bitter face, and the teeth of hatred in their hearts itched.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun couldn't stand it anymore, he coughed, and said indifferently: "There are still disputes about the candidates for the governor's affairs, after you go back, you will discuss it again, and the old man will also discuss it with Niangniang." Wait until the right person is agreed, and then make a decision. ”

Kou Zhun made a conclusion, and there was no need to discuss this matter in the court, and it would not be too late to discuss it after all parties competed and finally competed for two candidates.

After the question of the candidates for the governor's office has been revealed.

There are also courtiers who have done things one after another, mostly because of the legacy of the struggle for power between the six ministries and the criminal division, as well as the return of gifts from various states.

At the end of the day, Wang Zeng wrote a book, saying that there was a famine in Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he hoped that the imperial court would make a decision as soon as possible.

It's just that in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, it seems that it is not more important to fight for power and return gifts to the vassal states of Fanbang, so in the end, I only got a fixed sentence that the yamen in Huainan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang should pay close attention to the disaster.

After going down to the court, with Liu E's black face, Zhao Zhenqiang left Kou Ji and took him to the palace to taste the pastries made by Concubine Li together.

Since the appearance of Concubine Li, Zhao Zhen has lost a lot of stereotypes and more joy that children should have.

Zhao Zhen took Kou Ji around the palace and carefully counted the things that Concubine Li had done to protect him in front of Liu E.

It can be heard that the relationship between Concubine Li and Zhao Zhen is good.

In the end, Zhao Zhen took Kou Ji to his palace and took out the pastries made by Concubine Li for Kou Ji to eat.

After Zhao Zhen returned to the palace, Concubine Li quietly appeared beside Zhao Zhen.

dismissed the eunuchs and palace ladies who served Zhao Zhen, and she took matters into her own hands to serve Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen hugged Concubine Li with one hand, pinched the pastries with the other, and then looked at Kou Ji by his side, not to mention how happy he was.

He kept his mouth on his mouth and ate while talking, and he didn't stop.

Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen to talk, and chatted about martial arts.

Zhao Zhen took the pastry in his mouth and said: "Niangniang said, I am still young, not suitable for martial arts, and it is easy to hurt myself, so let me stop practicing martial arts." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Concubine Li, who was looking at Zhao Zhen with a doting face, and muttered: "Concubine Li is afraid that the official family will practice martial arts and hurt herself?" ”

When Concubine Li heard this, she complained: "Every time the official family finishes practicing martial arts, they are always out of breath and sweating. He was the most noble person in the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't afford to endure hardships for the sake of martial arts.

If he wants, anyone in the world who practices martial arts can use it for him. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said in a low voice, "So...... Because of this, the official family abandoned martial arts. ”

When Concubine Li heard this, she glanced at Kou Ji and frowned, "How can this palace hear displeasure from your words. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "Don't dare...... The minister just thinks that Xi Wugui is persisting and persevering. The minister didn't think that the official family could practice a superb martial art, the minister just wanted the official family to learn to persevere and persevere on the way to practice martial arts. ”

Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "So, the reason why the official family practices martial arts is because you are in charge?" No wonder my sister has repeatedly persuaded her, it turns out that you are making trouble behind your back. ”

Concubine Li snorted coldly: "You guys are courtiers, and there is not a good thing. You always want the official family to live according to your ideas, and try to instigate him by all means.

But no one asked the official family what he wanted to live.

No one cared about his wishes. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "The concubine has a complaint about the minister's letting the official family practice martial arts?" ”

Concubine Li said mercilessly: "Not bad! The palace just doesn't want to see the official family suffer. He is the most noble person in the Great Song Dynasty, so he should enjoy the greatest wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, instead of suffering and suffering. ”

Kou Ji twisted his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The official family is not burdened, and the people who suffer are the people of the world." ”

Concubine Li said loudly: "This palace only cares about the official family!" ”

Zhao Zhen saw that the two of them had a tendency to quarrel, so he said with a bitter face: "Niangniang, Kou Ji, can you stop quarreling......

Kou Ji got up slowly, arched his hand to Zhao Zhen and said, "Official, the minister retires." ”

Zhao Zhen was a little anxious, "Kou Ji, you haven't seen me for a long time, don't you talk to me anymore?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Concubine Li and said lightly: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence." ”

Concubine Li snorted coldly.

Kou Ji arched his hand again and left Zhao Zhen's bedroom.

After Kou Ji left, Zhao Zhen looked at the gate of the palace with some disappointment, and said to Concubine Li: "Niangniang, I am such a friend as him."

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all regarded me as a child, but only Kou Ji regarded me as a friend.

He didn't care who I was, and he never thought about asking for anything from me, he just thought of me as a friend.

Now, my only friend, you've driven me away......"

Concubine Li stared at Zhao Zhen stunned, not knowing what to say.

She didn't expect that Zhao Zhen's feelings for Kou Ji were so deep.

How did she know that when Zhao Zhen was most fiercely pressed by Liu E, when Zhao Zhen was most helpless, it was Kou Ji who appeared by Zhao Zhen's side and gave Zhao Zhen a trace of warmth.

When Zhao Zhen was the saddest and saddest, it was Kou Ji who was by his side.

If it weren't for his identity, he wouldn't be able to call Kou Ji a brother, he really wanted to call Kou Ji a brother.

Zhao Zhen put down the pastry in his hand and said to Concubine Li seriously: "Kou Ji thinks that my martial arts are beneficial, so I can't waste my martial arts." I've been wasted for days, and I'm going to make up for it all today. ”

After saying this, without waiting for Concubine Li to stop him, Zhao Zhen had already run outside the palace and went to the place where he practiced martial arts.

Concubine Li stared at Zhao Zhen's departing back and gritted her teeth secretly, "Sister is right, Kou Ji shouldn't appear in the palace." ”

Concubine Li had a gloomy face, and instructed the eunuchs and ladies in the palace: "If Kou Ji appears in the palace in the future, you will stop him, and you must not let him see the official family alone." ”

"......"

The eunuchs and palace ladies agreed in unison.

But she was doomed to be useless.

There is Chen Lin, a traitor, who secretly helps Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji exchange letters, and she can't stop Zhao Zhen from communicating with Kou Ji.

……

Koji left the palace and returned to the palace.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I bumped into an unexpected person.

"Daddy?"

Kou Ji looked at Kou Li, who was standing at the door of Kou Mansion and was looking forward to it, and his face was stunned.

Kou Li saw Kou Ji, he was very kind, he stepped forward with a smile, looked at Kou Ji, and said, "Stinky boy, I haven't seen you for a while, you have grown a lot taller and stronger." ”

Kou Li raised his hand to pat Kou Ji on the shoulder, wanting to be closer to Kou Ji, but Kou Ji took a step back, widened the distance between the two, and gave a look at him.

"The child has seen his father's ......"

Kou Li smiled dryly, withdrew his hand, and said, "No need to be polite. ”

Kou Ji asked, "Dad, why did you come to Bianjing City?" If you have an official position in Huayin County, you will leave your post without permission and will be easily impeached. ”

Kou Li explained: "The imperial court has the rules of the imperial court, and your father knows it. I didn't offend the rules of the court either. Huayin's affairs are handled by county orders and county lieutenants, and there will be no mistakes. Seeing that it is coming to the New Year's Festival, and the New Year's Festival is coming, I arrived in Bianjing City a few days early, and it is not in the way. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Every year when it comes to the New Year's Festival, the imperial court will seal the government and rest for a long time.

Kou Li left a day or two early and rushed to Bianjing City to reunite with his family, and no one else could find much fault.

After all, it wasn't one or two officials who did this, most of the officials in the imperial court did it.

As long as there is no chaos in the yamen in various places in the days when they leave early, the imperial court will turn a blind eye and will not be held accountable.

"Let's go back to the house."

Kou Ji invited Kou Li back to the house, but Kou Li stood in the doorway, refusing to move his feet.

He said a little embarrassed: "Your grandfather hasn't gone down to court yet?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned when he heard this, looked Kou Li up and down, and asked suspiciously: "Do you want to wait for my grandfather to go to court?" You're not going to get into trouble again, and you're going to let my grandfather cook for you, right? ”

Hearing this, Kou Li hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no ......"

After a pause, Kou Li said embarrassedly: "It's that your father and I have newly married a few concubines, and I didn't inform your grandfather, for fear that he would not be happy, so I wanted to see him early and ask him for guilt." ”

Kou Ji said with a strange expression: "You won't bring them all to Bianjing City, will you?" ”

Kou Li chuckled and nodded slowly.

Kou Ji sighed, stared at Kou Li and said, "Dad, if you want me to say, you can accept it, little concubine." Stay in Huazhou, how do you want. Brought to Bianjing City, dangling in front of my grandfather's eyes, aren't you looking for scolding? ”

Kou Li said embarrassedly: "None of them have gone far away, your father and I just want to take them to Bianjing City to see the world." ”

Kou Ji glanced at Kou Li, too lazy to speak to him again.

He felt that it was certainly one thing for Kou Li to bring those concubines to Bianjing City to see the world, but more definitely for the sake of showing off.

Kou Ji arched his hand to Kou Li, "That kid went in first......"

Kou Li stopped Kou Ji, "You wait! ”

"Something?"

Kou Li nodded and said, "When I came, a document came from the Criminal Department, saying that Zhang Hua would be arrested and entered Beijing. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant asked me to bring people into Beijing. I escorted the person to the Criminal Department, which said that there was no case file on the person's conviction.

When I came out of the Criminal Department with someone, I bumped into Cao Langzhong from the Criminal Department, and he said that Zhang Hua was the person you wanted.

I'll take you back to the house, and now I'm holding them in the firewood room. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said with a look of surprise: "Zhang Hua has arrived?" ”

Korry nodded.

Kou Ji pulled his legs to leave, but was stopped by Kou Li, "Ji'er, this person is in Huazhou, and he rarely has a thin name, if it weren't for the arrest of the criminal department, he might be able to pass the examination next year." If he can rank in the top three in a row, it will also be a great achievement for Huayin County, Huazhou. What did he turn over that deserves to be arrested by the Criminal Department?

The document issued by the Criminal Department stated that this person collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.

But when your father was in Huayin County, he carefully checked and found no evidence of his collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country? ”

Kou Ji couldn't explain to Kou Li that the arrest of Zhang Hua was purely his idea, so he shirked and said: "This matter involves the secret of the DPRK and China, Dad, do you really want to know?" ”

Hearing this, Kou Li shook his head decisively, "Then I won't ask." ”

Kou Li has been an official for several months, but he has not learned anything else, but has learned the means of hanging high that does not concern him.

Seeing that Kou Li no longer asked, Kou Ji arched his hand to Kou Li, hurriedly left the gate of the mansion, and went straight to the firewood room in the mansion.

After arriving at the firewood room in the house, he broke the guards of Koufu guarding the door of the firewood room and entered the firewood room.

As soon as he entered the door of the firewood room, he saw a young man three or four years older than him, sitting on the hay on the ground.

When the young man saw Kou Ji appear, his eyes fell on Kou Ji and he did not speak.

Kou Ji stared at him and said in a deep voice, "You are Zhang Hua?" ”

Zhang Hua stared at Kou Ji, squinted and said, "You are Kou Ji?" ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "You are not very old, but your mind is not small. He actually dared to go to Hu Qing to Bianjing City to recognize his relatives. Who gave you the courage to do this? ”

Zhang Hua stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "I asked Hu Qing to go to Bianjing City to recognize his relatives, but I just took advantage of the situation and wanted to give him a future, and I didn't deliberately plan anything."

I didn't expect that you would implicate me for this matter, and you would actually take the risk of reluctance and use your private power to let the Criminal Department issue a document to arrest me in Beijing. ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "You guessed that I did it?" ”

Zhang Hua said coldly: "There are not many people who have offended me, Zhang Hua, but you are the only one who has the ability to put the hat of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country on my head." From the time the people in the yamen broke into my room with the documents of the criminal department and arrested me, I knew that it must be Hu Qing who came to Bianjing City to confess that he hated you, and then you became angry with me. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "Since you guessed that I framed you, why didn't you shout grievances on the way to Beijing?" ”

When Zhang Hua heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily and said: "With your current status and the current authority of your Kou Mansion, even if I shout grievances, no one will take care of them."

No one will offend you Kou Ji and your Kou Mansion for me Zhang Hua. ”

Kou Ji sneered: "According to what you say, it's me Kou Ji who is bullying people and bullying you." ”

Zhang Hua said angrily: "Isn't it? ”
