The words written by Kou Zhun were quickly sent to the Wenchang Academy, and because it was sent by Kou Tianci himself, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The new head of the Wenchang Academy, after getting the word Kou Zhun, sighed for a long time, and finally spread the content of the word.

The palace soon got the news.

Shishido.

Zhao Zhen was discussing with Lü Yijian and Wang Zeng about sending the first batch of recruited soldiers and horses to Liaodi.

Chen Lin hurriedly entered the capital hall, ran to Zhao Zhen's side with small steps, and bowed.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen stopped talking.

Chen Lin immediately leaned in and whispered a few words in Zhao Zhen's ear.

After Zhao Zhen listened to Chen Lin's whispers, he fell silent.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng saw that Zhao Zhen's expression was wrong, glanced at each other, and looked at Zhao Zhen at the same time.

Zhao Zhen slowly spoke, and said with emotion: "A hundred flowers blooming is better than a single branch...... Gong Kou wants to make room for my Great Song literati and let me have a few more sages in the Great Song Dynasty.

But sages, how can it be so good.

I have been a great Song Dynasty for decades, and there are countless heroes and generals.

But the one who can really become a sage is Kou Gong alone. ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng glanced at each other again.

Lu Yijian couldn't help but say: "Official, a hundred flowers blooming is better than a single branch, is it what Gong Kou said?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Gong Kou wrote a pair of words and sent them to the Wenchang Academy, and the content of the words has spread." ”

Wang Zeng said with emotion: "Kou Gong is righteous. ”

Lu Yijian's face was a little bitter and said: "Duke Kou is a high righteousness, but in this case, if my Great Song Dynasty can't produce a new sage, it will prove that those of us who stay in Bianjing City are useless." ”

Wang Zeng nodded approvingly: "Sage, it is not taught. ”

If the sages could be taught, then the sages would have been worthless.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "No matter what, Kou Gong did everything he had to do and could do." Kou Gong has reached the time to enjoy his old age in peace.

He doesn't want to stay in Bianjing, and we can't force it.

I had gone to the fourth brother to discuss this matter before.

The fourth brother also told me what Gong Kou meant.

That's why I gave Kou Gong some of the things he needed.

I also expected that the scholars and Wenchen would make trouble.

It's just that I didn't expect them to make such a fuss.

In the end, Kou Gong came forward to settle the matter. ”

Lu Yijian hesitated for a moment and said, "The scholars and scholars also hope that my sages of the Great Song Dynasty can stay in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen snorted, "Han Di is not my Great Song?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Yijian hesitated.

Wang Zeng hurriedly said: "Naturally, it's my Great Song." ”

Zhao Zhen snorted and said, "I just divided the kings and let them go to the border to sit in town, but I didn't say that I would separate those territories from my Great Song Dynasty.

Those scholars and scholars just felt that I had divided the kings, and those fiefs were not the places of my Great Song Dynasty.

What do they think?

If this is the case with all the people in the world, then what's the point of expanding our territory?

My Great Song Dynasty is respected as the superior state of the Celestial Empire, is it in vain? ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng glanced at each other and did not say anything more.

Because Zhao Zhen's words are right.

There was indeed prejudice among scholars and scholars in this kind of matter.

Zhao Zhen saw that Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng didn't speak, so he lightly ordered: "You two go down and let those guys who stayed in the palace to have fun fuck me."

In an instant, let them know each other, and the place where the Great Song Dynasty was divided and sealed out belonged to the Great Song Dynasty or not.

I tolerated them before to show that I valued the sages.

Now that the sages have spoken, there is no reason for me to tolerate them anymore.

If they want to be wild before me, then let them have a sage among them.

In our Great Song Dynasty, only sages can be wild in front of me. ”

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng bowed down almost without hesitation in response.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng bowed and left the Shishitang.

It didn't take long to follow.

The two of them appeared in front of the troublesome civil officials.

Wang Zeng also wanted to persuade him and explain the problem clearly.

Lu Yijian was not polite, and went up and pointed at his nose and scolded indiscriminately.

In particular, it was emphasized to those civil officials that no matter who the Korean land was divided to, it also belonged to the Great Song Dynasty.

Under Lu Yijian's abuse and Wang Zeng's explanation, the civil officials obediently left the palace.

The ownership of the Korean land is a question of whether it is politically correct.

Since the land of Han has been acquired by the Great Song Dynasty, it belongs to the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if it is divided, it is still the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

What recognizes it is political correctness.

Those who do not approve of it are political mistakes.

The noisy and noisy gave the people the illusion that after the Korean land was divided out, it was not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

That's going to get beaten.

After leaving the palace, the civil officials immediately rushed to Kou Mansion to meet Kou Zhun.

They must praise and praise Kou Zhun for his nobility.

For a time, there was an endless stream of guests from Koufu.

I was busy until autumn approached.

Autumn is a season of sorrow.

Because there are always many sad things that happen in autumn.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Yuxi's "Autumn Words" was born.

'Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring. ’

Since the beginning of autumn, no one has seen where it is better than spring.

I only saw a sad parting.

When the first wind of autumn blew through the branches in Koufu, Kou Zhun left Koufu and prepared to leave Bianjing City.

Because Kou Zhun had already ordered Kou Ji to send the things and people he wanted to bring out of Bianjing City early.

So when Kou Zhun left Bianjing City, he didn't have much luggage, and he wasn't accompanied by a few people.

Books consisting of only one carriage, half a carriage, and two servants.

When Kou Zhun appeared outside the Kou Mansion in plain clothes, the outside of the Kou Mansion was already crowded with people.

"Kou Gong travels far away, and the villain is willing to lead the horse for Kou Gong......"

"The villain is willing to escort Kou Gong for a ride......"

"The villain is willing to serve Kou Gong'......"

“……”

"The student is willing to follow Kou Gong to Korea......"

"The same is true for students......"

The people outside the door arched their hands and talked nonsense.

Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of followers around Baume & Mercier.

There are many people who are willing to follow Baume & Mercier and dedicate their lives to Baume & Mercier without asking for anything in return.

Kou Zhun is a living sage, and naturally there are people to follow.

In the past, when Kou Zhun was in the Chuangli Wenchang Academy, a large number of people rushed to the Wenchang Academy and swore that they were willing to follow Kou Zhun.

Now that Kou Zhun's reputation has risen again, there are naturally more people who are willing to follow Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun just smiled and arched his hand at them, and didn't accept anyone.

Because none of the people who were blocking the door of Kou Mansion and clamoring to follow Kou Zhun were sincere.

The people who are really willing to follow Kou Zhun are at the intersection of the street where Kou Mansion is located.

"Congratulations to Gong Kou!"

"Congratulations to Gong Kou!"

“……”

Amid the congratulations of everyone in the street, Kou Zhun got into the carriage and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage slowly through the crowd.

All the way to the street entrance.

Kou told the coachman to stop.

Because at the entrance of the street, there are many people who drag their families and lead the mouth, and they are brave and pushing wheelbarrows, waiting for Kou Zhun quietly.

After the carriage stopped, Kou Zhun took the initiative to speak, "Are you willing to leave with the old man, are you willing to follow the old man?" ”

The people at the entrance of the street proved to Kou Zhun with practical actions that they were willing to follow Kou Zhun.

They entrusted their wealth and life to Kou Zhun, and Kou Zhun naturally needed to give them a certain amount of respect.

"Willing to follow the ...... Kou Gong"

"May the Kou Gong trend ......"

When they heard Kou Zhun's words, they put down what they were holding and answered.

Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction, "Follow behind the old man's carriage......"

Kou Zhun only said this sentence and did not say anything else.

There is no Xu Guan, no Xu Jue, no Xu Ronghua and wealth, and no one who will give their children and grandchildren a bright future.

Because once Kou Zhun opened his mouth, it was an insult to them.

If they really followed Kou Zhun away for the sake of glory and wealth, it would be impossible not to ask anything, so they silently led the whole family to follow Kou Zhun.

They could have thrown themselves into the Koumen and negotiated with the Koufu the terms of moving to the Korean land, as well as the expenses on the way there.

Now all the major palaces are accepting people.

Although Kou Mansion is not as blatant as Zhu Mansion and Chongfu, it robs people.

However, whoever throws it at the door of Koufu, almost all of them in Koufu do not refuse.

Not only did they promise that they would give them a house and land after they arrived in Korea, but they would also promise them that they would bear some of their expenses on the road.

From this, it is not difficult to see the preciousness of the people who follow behind Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun took his followers and walked outside Bianjing City in the midst of the people's farewell.

Along the way, the people gave gifts to Kou Zhun one after another.

The scene was nothing short of spectacular.

From the front of the Kou Mansion Gate to the East City Gate of the Kou Zhun Office, the distance is not short.

But the streets on the road have long been filled with crowds.

The further you go, the more people see you off.

Even some thugs in the market quietly joined the send-off team and gave Kou Zhun a ride.

But anyone who sees the scene of seeing off Kou Zhun will realize why the ancients, especially the scholars among the ancients, liked to compete for fame.

The name brought them not only high-ranking officials and lords, but also support.

In today's scene where nearly half of the people in Bianjing City saw him off, if Kou Zhun said some incendiary remarks, or threw out some words, he would seduce those people to leave with him.

Then a huge number of people will leave with him.

But Kou Zhun didn't do that.

Because he knew he would.

Zhao Zhen, Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng and others will all be furious.

Kou Zhun was sent off by nearly half of the people in Bianjing City, and left Bianjing City.

The followers behind him also reached more than a thousand.

Among them were poor people, as well as wealthy merchants and scholars.

When the group left Bianjing City, they saw Zhu Neng and others.

Zhu Neng, Chong Shiheng and the others looked at the people behind Kou Zhun who voluntarily dragged their families and followed Kou Zhun away, and their hearts were sour.

They have worked hard for more than a month, and it is better for Kou Zhun to wander around in Bianjing City.

"Send Kou Gong ......"

Although Zhu Neng, Chong Shiheng and the others felt pantothenic acid in their hearts, when Kou Zhun arrived in front of them, they bowed down in unison.

Kou Zhun nodded.

They rode their horses and sent Kou Zhun all the way to ten miles away.

Ten miles away at the gazebo.

Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng had already prepared a table of wine and food, waiting for Kou Zhun in the pavilion.

Kou Zhun got out of the carriage and entered the pavilion.

Lü Yijian and Wang Zeng hurriedly got up.

Lu Yijian arched his hand and said: "Kou Gong is traveling far away, I will prepare some thin wine, please Kou Gong drink a glass before going on the road." ”

Kou Zhun nodded and sat down at the invitation of the two of them.

After sitting down.

Kou Zhun sighed with emotion: "This farewell, I'm afraid there will never be a day to see each other again." ”

Although Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng are still in good shape, they are both burdened with heavy responsibilities, unless it is necessary for political affairs, otherwise they cannot often travel thousands of miles to meet Kou Zhun in Handi.

After a few years, when Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng retired, they probably didn't have the physical strength to support them to travel far.

Therefore, this farewell is likely to be a farewell.

Lu Yijian and Kou Zhun don't have a deep relationship, so they don't feel much about Kou Zhun's words.

But Wang Zeng was different.

Wang Zeng and Kou Zhun have been friends for many years and have worked together for many years.

The two men share a common philosophy of governance.

In the past, in the court, they often worked together.

So the friendship is very deep.

After Wang Zeng heard Kou Zhun's words, his face became a little sad, "I thought that we people were old. You can sit together and enjoy your old age in peace.

But now it seems that I am thinking too much.

After Li Di recovered in Hexi, he left Bianjing City and rushed to Hexi.

And swore to Yongzhen Hexi.

If you go to Korea, I'm afraid you're going to have to live forever.

In the future, the three of us are afraid that we will never be able to get together again. ”

Kou Zhun sighed, nodded and said, "It's rare to have a confidant in life, and it's rare to have two or three friends...... It is an honor for the old man to have the honor to work with you and Li Di in this life. ”

After saying this, Kou Zhun picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, then got up and walked out of the pavilion without looking back.

He didn't want to stay longer, and he didn't dare to stay longer.

He was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, his heart would soften.

Wang Zeng stood up a little tremblingly, saluted Kou Zhun's back with a wine glass, and drank it all with tears in his eyes.

Lu Yijian also stood up with a wine glass, wanting to say something, but in the end he found that he couldn't say anything.

He could only learn from Wang Zeng, saluted Kou Zhun's back with a wine glass, and then drank it all.

"Send Jun Sanli, tears in my eyes...... Send you ten miles, and ...... worried"

Kou Zhun walked out of the pavilion, and the voice of Wang Zeng's old man sounded behind him, with some choking and some sadness in his voice.

Kou Zhun was shocked, his eyes were slightly red, but he still didn't stop.

He didn't dare to stop.

He was afraid that his heart would soften and stay.

After Kou Zhun got into the carriage, he urged the groom to drive the carriage away quickly.

Wang Zeng watched Kou Zhun's carriage disappear in front of his eyes little by little, and tears flowed down his eyes.

The same is true of Kou Zhun, who was sitting in the carriage and staggering.

He kept wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with the hem of his clothes.

"Didn't the official family order us to send Gong Kou to the Pavilion of the Fifteenth Mile? Do you still give it away? ”

After Lu Yijian saw Kou Zhun's carriage disappear, he hesitated to ask Wang Zeng.

Wang Zeng pursed his lips and shook his head.

Kou Zhun rode all the way out in a carriage for five miles.

I saw Zhao Zhen dressed in green clothes, standing in a newly built pavilion.

Kou Zhun got out of the carriage and rushed to give a salute, but was stopped by Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun and said in a deep voice: "Kou Gong is a great Song Dynasty to me, and I have worked hard and made great achievements. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen was about to bend down to salute.

Kou Zhun hurriedly held Zhao Zhen's arms and said, "I can't do it...... No matter how great the merit is, he is also the minister of the Great Song Dynasty and your minister. ”

Zhao Zhen was supported by Kou Zhun and stood up straight, pointed to the newly built pavilion behind him, and said, "This place is called the Pavilion of Xiangjun, also called the Pavilion of Yingjun."

I sent Kou Gong out of Beijing today, looking forward to the day when I can welcome Kou Gong back to Beijing here. ”

Kou Zhun nodded heavily.

Zhao Zhen said with a sad face: "I still remember Kou Gong's teachings in the past. If it weren't for Kou Gongyan's teaching, I wouldn't have become a qualified official. ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "The minister is just trying to do something as small as possible, it's nothing." ”

Zhao Zhen beckoned to Chen Lin behind him.

Chen Lin took a long box and sent it to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took the long box and sent it to Kou Zhun in front of him, "Kou Gong wrote a pair of words and left them in the Wenchang Academy, I also wrote a pair of words, Kou Gong, you take them to the Wenchang Academy in Korea."

My character is not as valuable as Kou Gong's character.

If Gong Kou doesn't dislike it, bring it. ”

Kou Zhun hurriedly said: "The official family is laughing. There is the word "official", and the minister is in Han to establish the context of my Han family, which is justified. If one day, the students of the Korean region rush to Bianjing City to participate in the imperial examination, and hope that the official family can irradiate one or two. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "Even if I am a student of the Great Song Dynasty, I should be irradiated." ”

Kou Zhun bowed deeply to Zhao Zhen and took the long box from Zhao Zhen's hand.

After giving the salute again.

Kou Zhun exited the pavilion and hurried to the carriage.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun's back, sighed, and then bent down and bowed deeply.

"Official ......"

When Chen Lin saw this, he was shocked and wanted to stop it, but he also played.

After Zhao Zhen got up, he sighed: "He can afford this gift." ”

Before Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he gave a salute to Kou Zhun and others.

That's nothing.

But after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, it would be different if he gave gifts to Kou Zhun and others.

The first person in the world to hang down the dragon's head is of great significance.

If anyone can make him hang down the dragon's head, then what kind of person is he the first person in the world?

In the whole world, the only one who can make him hang down the dragon's head is Kou Zhun.

Although Kou Zhun didn't see it, he felt it through the reactions of those people in front of the carriage.

But he didn't look back, and he didn't stop.

Because of this situation, he couldn't turn back, let alone stop.

Zhao Zhen gave a gift to a gift.

Kou Zhun couldn't bear it with a big grin.

Jun is Jun.

A minister is a minister.

The king can do his best, but the minister cannot overcome.

Kou Zhun got into the carriage without looking back and left the Pavilion of Sending Jun.

drove all the way until it reached the boundary of Bianjing City before stopping.

Kou Ji took Kou Tianci and Kou Li, who had already left Bianjing City, and others waiting for Kou Zhun outside the boundary of Bianjing City.

What should be said has already been said.

So when the family gets together, there's not much to say.

Talking too much will only increase the sadness.

So I simply didn't say anything.

Silent giving, silent handover.

Silently returned to Beijing and left silently.

It's just that before Kou Ji sent Kou Zhun away, he specially instructed the steward who followed Kou Zhun away, and Haosheng took care of the followers who were willing to follow Kou Zhun to Handi.

When Kou Zhun left Bianjing, there were thousands of followers around him.

Fifteen miles out of Bianjing City, the number of followers around him reached 1,300.

This trip to Korea is thousands of miles away, and I am afraid that there will be other followers on the way.

Although the followers did not ask for anything, Koji was treated with courtesy.

People are willing to entrust their lives to the Kou family, that is, they have a lot of trust in the Kou family.

The Kou family can't live up to this trust.

Kou Ji sent Kou Zhun away, and took Kou Tianci back to Beijing on horseback.

When I was on the road, I bumped into two figures, one large and one small.

Kou Ji saw the two figures, one big and one small, a little dazed and a little stunned.

Kojile stopped his horse, jumped off his horse, stared at the two figures in front of him, one large and one small, and asked, "You are also leaving?" ”

The dumb tiger still has the same dull face as before.

The young man who followed the dumb tiger took out the knife at his waist and wrote a line on the ground.

After Kou Ji finished reading those words, he stared at the young man beside the dumb tiger and asked, "Does the dumb tiger think that I don't need his protection anymore?" So he's going back to my grandfather? ”

The boy nodded heavily and wrote another line on the ground.

After reading it, Kou Ji let out a long sigh, "He thinks he was picked up by my grandfather, so he wants to stay with my grandfather for the rest of the day?" ”

The boy nodded again.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I agreed......"

The dumb tiger's feelings for Kou Zhun are probably similar to Zhu Neng's.

They treat Kou Zhun like a father.

Although there is no title of father and son.

But there is a father-son relationship.

The dumb tiger wants to follow Kou Zhun to Handi and take care of Kou Zhun, which Kou Ji can understand.

Although the dumb tiger does not take care of people.

But he only needs to follow Kou Zhun and see that Kou Zhun is fine, so that his heart can always remain calm.

After Kou Ji agreed, the dumb tiger rarely stretched out his hand and patted the young man on the shoulder.

The boy nodded.

The dumb tiger left the boy and walked in the direction of Handi.

After the dumb tiger is gone.

The boy continued to write a line on the ground with his knife.

Kou Ji glanced at it, turned back to Kou Tianci behind him, and said, "Dumb Tiger let him follow you to protect you, and he will be your person in the future."

You talk first, and I'll go back to Beijing first. ”

Kou Ji left Kou Tianci and the boy behind, and rode his horse to Bianjing City.

Kou Tianci stood in place, staring at each other with the young man for a long time before he opened his mouth to talk to the young man.

It didn't take long for the two to communicate.

One speaks, the other writes.

By the time Kou Ji returned to Bianjing, Bianjing had turned into a city full of sorrows.

The Qing people sang sad tunes, the readers held wine jugs and chanted poems full of pathos, and the small merchants and vendors squatted on both sides of the avenue, their mouths tightly closed, as if they were not in the mood to sell.

The people gathered in groups of three or five, sighing and talking about what happened today.

Kou Zhun seemed to be a wisp of soul in their bodies.

When Kou Zhun was gone, they became languishing.

And the sluggish days, as long as they last, are more than half a month.

Not two days after Kou Zhun left.

Zhu Neng boarded the gate of the Kou Mansion.
