Wang Zeng got a share of the Jiaozi Shop, and after returning to the palace, he discussed it with Lu Yijian, and then through the inner court, spread the news that Qian Le had dedicated the share of the Yizi Jiaozi Shop to the official family.

According to Lu Yijian's meaning, the members of the one-word Jiaozipu can be attributed to the imperial court, not Zhao Zhen personally.

But Wang Zeng knew that the great change of the Yizi Jiaozi Shop was led by Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji behind the scenes, and he could easily get the share of the Yizi Jiaozi Shop from the Qian Mansion, also because of Zhao Zhen's nod.

Since Zhao Zhen believes in him and is willing to give him the share of the word Jiaozi shop, then he has to help Zhao Zhen keep it, and he must not let the part of the word hand shop be placed in the court and let those civil and military officials go to disaster.

If the civil and military officials can't compete for the share of the one-word Jiaozi shop, they will make a fuss about the one-word Jiaozi shop left in the court.

Whether it is through the part of the word Jiaozi shop, meddling in the management of the word Jiaozi shop, or using the part of the word Jiaozi shop held by the imperial court, forcing Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji to hand over the remaining parts.

They all did it.

There are not a few saints in the court who have no desires and no desires, and they will not be blind to the huge interests in front of them.

As long as the gap is left for them, they will definitely make a move.

Even if they risk their lives to gamble, they are willing.

Therefore, the part of the word Jiaozipu must not be left in the hands of the imperial court, and it should be held by Zhao Zhen alone.

Lü Yijian was persuaded by Wang Zeng and finally gave up his idea.

After Qian Le spread the news of dedicating the part of the Yizizi shop to the official family, there was a complete sensation inside and outside Bianjing City.

The people felt that Qian Le's brain was probably kicked by a donkey, and he was able to give away such a big family business.

The officials are naturally not as shallow as the people see, what they see is that Zhao Zhen has begun to take back the part of the shop, and if they don't do it, it will be too late.

The battle between the civil and military officials became more ferocious.

Wang Zeng borrowed the part of the hand-to-hand shop to pull a group of people and joined the battle.

The three-way competition has become more intense.

Every day, officials are dismissed because of this, and every day nobles are reduced to commoners.

At the beginning, only the officials of the seventh and eighth grades were dismissed, and in the end, the senior officials of the fourth and fifth grades were also involved.

During this period, although Zhao Zhen didn't say much, and he didn't make a clear statement, he opened his mouth several times, and the officials saw what it means to be unpredictable.

Some of the officials who died in the struggle were framed by them and became an unspeakable sinner, and the officials thought that Zhao Zhen would be furious and dismissed from office and sentenced to beheading.

But Zhao Zhen did not do what the officials thought, but let go of those officials lightly, and just sent them from Bianjing City to a remote place to be officials.

Some officials are just carrying some insignificant and insignificant crimes, but Zhao Zhen dealt a ruthless blow to them, dismissed them from office, and pushed them to the guillotine.

Zhao Zhen wants to kill people, and he can hardly see anything in common.

The officials subconsciously ruled out the idea that Zhao Zhen took the opportunity to eradicate some officials.

The officials felt that Zhao Zhen probably wanted to take advantage of this wave to show off his presence in front of the officials, so that the officials could personally understand what it means to be unpredictable, so as to condense some prestige.

Zhao Zhen wants to gather some prestige, and he has dealt a heavy hand to some people for this, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

The officials were busy competing for the interests of the shop, but they didn't have so much time to help them complain.

What the officials can't see, Kou Ji can naturally see.

Among the officials that Zhao Zhen dealt with, some of them were really wanted by Zhao Zhen, and some were deliberately dealt with by Zhao Zhen in order to hide people's eyes.

The people that Zhao Zhen deliberately dealt with, although they were not pedantic officials, were not good things either.

So Zhao Zhen killed them, and Kou Ji didn't feel wronged at all.

It's just that when an unexpected person was demoted out of Bianjing City by Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji was a little surprised, and he hurriedly entered the palace to understand why Zhao Zhen demoted that unexpected person out of Bianjing City.

When Kou Ji entered the palace, Zhao Zhen was splashing ink.

Zhao Zhen held a pen and drew a landscape map on a long piece of Chengxintang paper.

On one side of the paper, a majestic mountain peak has been drawn, and a waterfall runs through it, slowly flowing out.

On the other side of the paper, there are small ink spots, which look very dazzling on the snow-white paper.

Why Zhao Zhen dotted ink spots in that blank place, Kou Ji knew clearly.

Because Zhao Zhen told Kou Ji in private.

Those ink spots are some of the ministers in the court that Zhao Zhen wants to clean up.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that he would miss someone in the process of cleaning up, but he couldn't learn Kou Ji's way and make a clear list in the house, so he could only replace people's names with ink dots.

Although the palace is much cleaner than before, it still can't be airtight.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that he would write a list and be discovered and leaked out, so he could only use ink dots.

Zhao Zhen lifted the pen and turned an ink dot into a small tree, and when the small tree blocked the ink spot, he put down the pen with satisfaction.

After washing his hands, he walked over to Kou Ji with a smile.

"Minister's ......"

As soon as Kou Ji was about to bow down, Zhao Zhen grabbed him enthusiastically, pulled him to the table, and pointed at Kou Ji happily: "Fourth brother, look, my painting skills have improved a lot compared to before?" ”

Zhao Zhen was painting just now, and after Kou Ji entered the hall, he didn't bother, didn't give a salute, and stood quietly to the side.

Zhao Zhen stopped his pen, and Kou Ji naturally had to salute Zhao Zhen according to the number of etiquette.

It's just that Zhao Zhen obviously doesn't care whether Kou Ji is polite or not.

After he stopped writing, he took Kou Ji to review his paintings.

Kou Ji lowered his head and took a closer look at Zhao Zhen's paintings, clicked his mouth, and said insincerely: "The painting skills of the official family are generally ......."

After Zhao Zhen heard Kou Ji's words, he laughed.

Chen Lin, who was helping Zhao Zhen hold the painting on the side, heard Kou Ji's words and pursed his lips.

You can fake it a little more......

Kou Ji's insincere expression was not hidden at all.

Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin naturally saw it really.

Kou Ji was also very helpless, he was a person with a fake background, and he spent much longer on painting than Zhao Zhen.

The paintings that can be made are more than one and a half stars worse than Zhao Zhen.

Kou Ji was unwilling to admit that his skills were inferior to others, nor did he want to praise Zhao Zhen, so he could only give a general evaluation.

The people of the old Zhao family are like emperors, but they are far more talented than ordinary people in calligraphy and painting.

Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin has any advantages in calligraphy and painting, Kou Ji is not very clear.

But Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, in calligraphy and painting, what is outstanding, Kou Ji is very clear.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi was very accomplished in calligraphy, and his one hand flew white, and hundreds of officials rushed to imitate it.

Excluding the fact that some people imitated him for the sake of sycophancy, the civil officials did not criticize him for this, and the people who wrote history did not criticize him for this, it is enough to show that his calligraphy attainments are not low.

Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng's attainments in calligraphy are not weak, in order to show off his calligraphy to the officials, he wrote poems when he has nothing to do, and he writes down his poems and passes them on to the officials to appreciate.

Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng wrote a full 300 volumes of poems in his lifetime, and the imperial court compiled them into a book and included them in the library building in the palace.

Zhao Zhen obviously inherited the excellent genes of his grandfather and father, and his talent in calligraphy and painting is very outstanding.

At a young age, calligraphy has already shown talent.

One hand is flying white, and the writing is very beautiful.

Even Kou Zhun, who didn't like to praise the emperor very much, once praised Zhao Zhen's calligraphy in private.

Zhao Zhen's painting did not take too long.

But even so, the paintings he painted already have some charm.

If Kou Ji imitates Zhao Zhen's paintings, he can imitate exactly the same, and he can also paint some charm.

But if he asked Kou Ji to paint himself, he couldn't paint a little charm.

He is accustomed to imitation, he can imitate everyone's paintings, and he can imitate the charm in everyone's paintings, but he can't create his own charm.

After Zhao Zhen laughed, he stared at Kou Ji with a playful expression and said, "I finally found out that I have a place where I can beat the fourth brother." ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips and said with a dry smile: "The minister is not an immortal, it is impossible to understand everything, and he is good at everything." ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he was in a good mood, and he didn't chase and beat the water dog.

Zhao Zhen invited Kou Ji to sit down, instructed Chen Lin to accept the scroll, and smiled at Kou Ji: "Fourth brother entered the palace this time, what happened?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhen didn't mean to beat the water dog, Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile: "Can't the minister come to see the official family if he is fine?" ”

Zhao Zhen put away the smile on his face, and said with a little resentment: "If you really have this heart, you should stay in the palace and accompany me all the time." ”

Chen Lin's old goods, after collecting the picture scroll, heard Zhao Zhen's words, and said in a low voice with a smile: "If Yongguo Gong is willing to enter the palace, our family can return to his hometown and give all the officials and titles of our family to Yongguo Gong." ”

Kou Ji's scalp was a little numb and glared at Chen Lin, and he scolded: "Get out!" ”

Chen Lin smiled, not angry, and stood aside very interestingly.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin again, and then looked at Zhao Zhen and said: "It's better for the minister to stay outside the palace, the minister is outside the palace, and he can help the official family keep an eye on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

A smile resurfaced on Zhao Zhen's face, nodded and said, "There is a fourth brother outside the palace to help me keep an eye on, I can rest assured." ”

Kou Ji nodded, hesitated, and said, "The minister has something unclear, and I ask the official family to solve his doubts." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "You also said that you didn't enter the palace because of something?" ”

Koji smiled dryly, not explaining more.

Zhao Zhen didn't chase after Kou Ji, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the fourth brother?" ”

Kou Ji groaned: "The official family wants to use Jia Changchao? ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji with a little surprise and said, "Fourth brother cares about Jia Changchao?" ”

Jia Changchao's official rank is not high, and for today's Kou Ji, it is a small role.

Zhao Zhen didn't expect Kou Ji to pay attention to Jia Changchao.

I didn't expect Kou Ji to go to the palace in person for a small role.

Kou Ji shook his head and said: "I don't care, it's just that the official family wants to use this person, so we still have to be cautious." ”

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Since I ascended the throne, this person has been serving as a waiter in Tianzhang Pavilion. I have been in contact with this person several times, and I have heard this person explain the Ming Sutra.

This person is not very old, but he is not as knowledgeable.

When I was reading the Ming Sutra, I encountered something I didn't understand, and I asked this person for advice.

This person is thorough as soon as he speaks, which is far clearer than when Xiang Gong, Wang Zeng and others gave me a lecture.

I feel that this person is a talent and want to reuse him, why is the fourth brother not optimistic about this person. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "This person's attainments in the Ming Jing are indeed not weak. Raise some more fame, even if you are called a great Confucian, it is not too much. But learning is learning, and being an official is being an official.

Officials should not rely solely on knowledge to look at people and elect officials.

A person who is well educated is not necessarily a good official. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Kou Ji continued: "Although our dynasty is based on learning, we cannot send officials by learning. The purpose of learning is just to screen out good talents from many scholars and use them for the imperial court.

But among these good talents, who can take on the big responsibility and who can't take on the big responsibility can no longer be measured by knowledge.

The reason why there are so many pedantic people in the court, and so many people who do nothing, is because of the result of learning and talent.

Learning only represents a bachelor's degree, not ability.

If the imperial court blindly judges talents by knowledge.

The officials in the government and the opposition will emphasize knowledge and ignore ability.

In the long run, officials will only think about how to improve their knowledge, and they will not think much about how to help the officials govern the world, and how to make the place they are responsible for becoming rich and clear.
