Zhu Neng didn't know where the Bishan Martial Arts Hall was, and Zhu Neng didn't know what the name of the Bishan Martial Arts Hall was.

But Zhu Neng knew that the place where the official family sent Gao Di Gong to take charge must not be an ordinary place.

Zhu Neng also knew that he had secretly been summoned by the official family to meet the students twice in the northwest, and he would definitely have a bright future in the future.

Now in the Great Song Dynasty, there are only two generals and soldiers in the army who can be summoned by the official family in person.

One is the place where Gao Di Gong is in charge, and the other is the Tiger Army.

The Tiger Army has now been reorganized into the Jingsai Army, which has been separated from the Son of Heaven's pro-army.

Then now there is a place left where Gao Zuo Gong is in charge, and it is most valued by the officials.

As a privy deputy, Zhu Neng knows some things that ordinary people don't know.

The place under the control of the high place is not under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War.

Rather, it is under the jurisdiction of the Inner Government.

There is a very inconspicuous secretary in the inner house, called the Bishan Procurement Division.

There were only three people in the whole department, three eunuchs who did nothing.

But they had to pay 200,000 taels a year from the Privy Council.

Where did the food go, Zhu Neng knew it in his heart.

It must have been to the place where the high place is in charge.

There are definitely not many people in that place, but Zhao Zhen approves 200,000 yuan of food and salary to them every year, which shows how much Zhao Zhen attaches importance to them.

When the imperial court reformed the military system, in order to solve the problem of supervising the army in the army, it attached great importance to the martial arts.

But on the one hand, it is not officially mentioned from beginning to end.

That is the training and selection of officers and generals in the army.

The decrees given in the imperial court new military system were vague.

On merit promotion.

But now that there is no war in the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible for those soldiers in the army to be promoted from a pawn to a general.

Even if there is a big war in the four seas of the Great Song Dynasty, and a pawn wants to be promoted to a general, it is like ascending to the sky.

In order to avoid the absence of generals and colonels in the army.

The imperial court must first select a group of people to fill the army and hold certain positions.

The place that Gao Zuo Gong is in charge must be to make up for the lack of this aspect.

Otherwise, with the shrewdness of Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, it would be absolutely impossible to see such a big omission exist, and ignore it.

What kind of future does the person who came out of the place in charge of Gao Ji Gong have, Zhu Neng is not difficult to guess.

Zhu Neng calmed down his excitement and said to Kou Ji: "It's all my own family, I won't say much if I'm grateful, and I keep everything in my heart." ”

Zhu Neng never thought that the benefits given to him by others were given in vain.

Even though his relationship with Kou Ji is already like a family.

He still remembered the kindness that Koji had given him.

Only in this way can he get along with Kou Ji for a long time.

Zhu Neng would never allow Shengmien's fight against Mi to happen to him and Kou Ji.

Kou Ji smiled: "There are advantages to this matter, but naturally there are also disadvantages. Once they leave the Zhu Mansion, they will be members of the official family in the future. Whether the officials want to reward them or punish them, you must not interfere until it is absolutely necessary.

In addition, once they are there, they may have little time to return home later. ”

Zhu Neng laughed and said: "They want to take advantage, how can there be a reason not to make ends meet." You and I can have today, not from the fights.

I was in Shazhou, and I almost starved to death in the army.

You're in the Northwest, and you almost didn't get shot in the eye.

Everyone else is only the two of us who are majestic and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

But I don't know that the two of us can have where we are today, all because of our lives. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "You can see it thoroughly......"

Zhu Neng shook his head and smiled: "It's not good if you don't see it thoroughly." After this military system reform, I can understand a truth. No matter how powerful your ancestors are, that's your ancestors, not you. If you want to gain a foothold in this world, you have to depend on your own ability. ”

Koji nodded approvingly.

After nodding, Kou Ji said, "I came to your house this time because I have something to explain to you." ”

Hearing that Kou Ji was going to talk about business, Zhu Neng restrained the smile on his face, stared at Kou Ji and said, "...... you say?"

Kou Ji said: "In the past few days, I may have to stay in the house and not go out, and the affairs of the Privy Council will be in charge of you and Chong Shiheng for the time being." If you encounter something undecided, you can send someone to my house to spread a message.

If the civil servants go to the Privy Council to make trouble, you and Chong Shiheng don't have to pay attention to it. ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he said suspiciously: "The officials are now overwhelmed, and with the officials in town, can the ministers still turn the sky upside down?" ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "The official family has been dropping out of the dynasty for the past few days." ”

Zhu Neng said in surprise: "What did you and the official family do to offend Wenchen, you were forced to avoid trouble."

Kou Ji heard Zhu Neng's words, shook his head and smiled: "It's not to avoid trouble, it's just to avoid conflict with Lu Yijian and the three of them." Whether it is me and the official family, or Lu Yijian, the original intention is good, but the purpose is a little contrary.

In order not to embarrass each other, we need to avoid it. ”

Kou Ji's words, Zhu Neng listened to them in the clouds, and he didn't understand them very well.

Seeing this, Kou Ji explained: "If Lu Yijian and the three of them continue to fight against the official family, once they get angry and say something that should not be said, the official family will inevitably depose them as punishment."

The officials just didn't want to depose them, so they chose to avoid them.

Wait until they have had enough trouble, or take the initiative to give in for political affairs, and the officials can see them. ”

When Zhu Neng heard this, he scratched his head irritably, and said: "Wenchen is trouble, if we Wuchen go down with two slaps, there will be no nonsense." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "You are not a stupid person, why do you like to pretend to be stupid more and more?" ”

Zhu Neng is not an extremely smart person, but he is a shrewd person.

Since Zhu Nengde was appointed deputy privy envoy, he has said many stupid things and done some stupid things.

Kou Ji thought he was old and confused.

Now it seems that he is playing stupid.

Zhu Neng heard Kou Ji's words, spread his hands and said, "You have to do a big deal with the official family, and I can't help much." The only thing I can do is not to cause you any trouble.

If I'm too smart, those Zi Wenchen won't be eyeing me and will trouble me all the time?

I'm stupid, those guys are higher than Ding Wenchen, and they must be too lazy to trouble me.

They don't bother me, and you don't need to come forward to help me out, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Neng pouted and said: "Chong Shiheng is smart, and he is still a literati. But after he entered Beijing, how many times was he impeached? Thirty-one times, although each time it was some inconsequential questions, it showed that someone had been staring at him, and once he made a big mistake, the ministers would attack him in groups.

What about me?

I've been impeached four times, and each time it's time to impeach you, and I was piggybacked.

There is not a single note to impeach me. ”

After listening to Zhu Neng's words, Kou Ji nodded slowly and said, "It's okay to pretend to be stupid occasionally, but when necessary, you must stand up and let others know about your existence."

Otherwise, if you pretend to be stupid, you will become really stupid. ”

Zhu Neng smiled and said, "I know ......"

Kou Ji had already explained what he should have explained, and he was about to go down to rest, when he heard Zhu Neng come to his side and ask, "Do you know that iron-eating beast very well?" ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I understand a little." ”

Zhu Neng hurriedly asked, "Can you eat that thing?" ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said angrily and funny: "Why do you always want to eat it." ”

Zhu Neng said with a smile: "I haven't eaten it, I just want to taste it." ”

Kou Ji said angrily: "Don't eat it, it's poisonous." ”

Zhu Neng glared in astonishment, "Poisonous? ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "If you eat one or two pieces, it will be difficult for your heirs to prosper, and if you eat too much, your intestines will rot and you will die." ”

Zhu Neng said suspiciously: "Really? Why did the imperial doctor tell me that I could eat that thing, and that I could strengthen my body if I ate too much? ”

Kou Ji said solemnly: "That imperial doctor is going to harm you......"

Zhu Neng stood in place in amazement.

Kou Ji stopped talking, and hurriedly left Zhu Neng's study, he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Zhu Neng would expose his lies, and then pull him to eat the iron beast together.

Kou Ji rested in Zhu's mansion for a night, and after getting up the next day, he left Zhu's mansion, and after returning to the mansion, he ordered Xiang Yan to close the door and thank guests.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Zhao Zhen was sick, and after drinking the decoction, he ordered someone to block the gate of the harem and recuperate in the palace.

Before closing the palace gate, he specially ordered people to guard the palace gate and wait for Lu Yijian and others.

Lu Yijian and the three of them discussed all night, but they did not come up with a proper method.

In the end, the three of them gathered hundreds of officials and prepared to go to the palace to admonish Zhao Zhen.

After the group entered the palace with a vigorous attitude, they saw that the gate of the harem was closed, and a eunuch was standing at the gate of the palace.

After Lu Yijian and the others approached, he quickly said, "The official family issued an edict that Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai would take charge of the government on his behalf during his recuperation." ”

Dropping this sentence, the eunuch seemed to have oil on the soles of his feet, and left the palace gate in a hurry, not giving Lu Yijian and the others any chance to stay.

Lu Yijian and the others were completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Zhen suddenly dropped out of the dynasty and hid in the harem and didn't come out, they really didn't know what to do.

The most important thing is that Zhao Zhen learned the lesson of the last time, and after dropping out of the dynasty, he locked the palace door of the harem.

Lu Yijian and the others shouted or shouted here, or even died on the spot, but they had no way to trespass.

That's the harem.

Not only does it live Zhao Zhen, but also Zhao Zhen's biological mother, as well as several mothers.

collided with Zhao Zhen, maybe it will be fine.

But it was not good to surprise Concubine Li, Concubine Du, Concubine Yang and others.

A filial piety word is buckled on Zhao Zhen's head, and Zhao Zhen is reluctant to give up, so he has to let them go to the local area to hone and hone.

Lu Yijian and others came to admonish Zhao Zhen, not to admonish him.

Naturally, it is impossible to make trouble at the gate of the harem.

In fact, in today's Great Song Dynasty, few people will die.

When Kou Zhun was in charge, he killed a large number of dead admonitions.

Zhao Zhen had previously watched two officials crash to death in order to punish the emperor's relatives and relatives.

Zhao Zhen told the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with practical actions.

Don't blackmail me with those benevolent and moral things, it's useless.

Or persuade me with reason.

Or just lie on my stomach.

Death admonition now has no effect other than sending people to death.

Of course, Zhao Zhen will still listen to the advice of the old minister who resigned before he died.

The difference lies in the fact that one is in the court and the other is not.

There's something else to learn about it.

At least after Zhao Zhen watched the two officials crash to death, no one said that Zhao Zhen was cruel, and no one said that he was unkind.

"Go to Kou Mansion and find Kou Ji ......"

After lingering at the gate of the harem for a long time, Lu Yijian and the others decided to go to the Koufu Courtyard together.

The group left the palace and rushed to the Koufu Courtyard in a carriage.

The scene was so big that it actually attracted many onlookers.

Some good things are even following.

The group arrived at the gate of the Koufu Annex.

I saw that the gate of the Koufu annex was closed.

After Lu Yijian got out of the carriage, he ordered someone to knock on the door.

Under Lu Yijian's order, the two servants banged on the door of the Kou Mansion Courtyard.

The time lasted a quarter of an hour.

The people in the courtyard of the Koufu were tired and had to open the door.

When the door was opened, an old face was revealed.

But it was Kou Zhong, the old servant beside Kou Zhun.

After Kou Zhong smiled and saluted Lu Yijian and the others, he asked, "The old lady asked the villain to ask you, what happened when you all ran to my Kou Mansion with all the people?" ”

Lu Yijian opened his mouth and was about to speak.

I heard Kou Zhong continue: "The old lady asked the villain to ask you, you all ran to my Kou Mansion with all the people, are you going to force my Kou Mansion to kill yourself?" ”

Lu Yijian hurriedly said: "The old man and the others have no such intention. ”

Kou Zhong nodded, and said: "The old lady also said that if you want to go to the court, you should go to the palace, Kou Mansion can't tolerate the Manchu Dynasty ministers, and there is no qualification to accommodate the Manchu Dynasty ministers." ”

Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "The old man and the others are here to find Kou Ji. ”

Kou Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Wait a minute, the villain will go in and help you pass the word." ”

After saying this, Kou Zhong closed the door.

Not long after, Kou Zhong opened the door again and looked at Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian and the others stared at Kou Zhong and waited for Kou Zhong's next step.

Kou Zhong coughed slightly, staring at Lu Yijian and the others: "The old lady said the truth: Kou Ji's rabbit cub is not in the house, you go elsewhere to find it, don't disturb the old man's dream here, otherwise the old man will come out and break your legs." ”

When Lu Yijian and the others heard this, their faces were wonderful.

A burst of blue and a burst of white.

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "The old man knows that Kou Ji is in the house, please ask Kou Ji to ......."

Lu Yi was halfway through his words, and he couldn't go on.

Through the crack in the door, he saw an old madman with a knife rushing out with a fierce attitude.

"Let's go!"

Lu Yijian almost didn't hesitate to leave the gate of the Kou Mansion with someone.

When Kou Zhun appeared at the gate of the courtyard with a knife, Lu Yijian and the others had already got into the carriage and left in a hurry.

Seeing Lu Yijian and the others leaving, Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "Who gave you the courage to come to Kou Mansion to spread wild?" If you hadn't run fast, the old man would have humiliated you. ”

After saying this, Kou Zhun snorted again and instructed Kou Zhongdao: "Close the door!" ”

Kou Zhong closed the door and said with a smile: "The old lady is mighty! ”

Kou Zhun scolded in a low voice: "Mighty fart, the old man can't really cut them." ”

Kou Zhong closed the door and said with a smile: "But they are afraid that they will be caught and humiliated by you when they see you, and they will lose face." ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Zhong and said, "You have to be glad that they still have face, if they don't have face, the old man can't do anything about them." ”

Speaking of this, Kou Zhun looked somewhere in the backyard, and said with some itchy teeth: "It's all because this stinky boy is in trouble, and the old man who is hurting is old, and he has to come out for him to play crazy." ”

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Who asked you to recruit Master Li back without consulting him." When Master Li entered Beijing, the movement was not small. If it weren't for the young master's easy resolution, your reputation, as well as the reputation of the Kou Mansion, would be ruined.

What you owe him, you have to pay it back when it's time to pay it back. ”

Kou Zhun said angrily: "The old man will be killed by him sooner or later." ”

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "What do you think, old lady, you are enjoying it." ”

Kou Zhun was completely annoyed, "Kou Zhong, who the hell are you, why are you talking to that kid everywhere." ”

Kou Zhong laughed in a low voice: "The villain doesn't want to talk to the young master, it's just that the benefits that the young master promised to the villain are too great, and the villain has to speak for him." ”

Kou Zhun said very viciously: "He stuffed people in your nest?" ”

Kou Zhong was not hurt by Kou Zhun's vicious words at all, but said with a smile: "The young master said, when the villain dies, bury the villain in the cemetery of Kou Mansion."

If you allow it, he will also choose one of the children of Master Li and wear linen and filial piety for the villain. ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he was even more annoyed, "Can you be buried in the Kou Mansion Cemetery, is it up to him to decide?" ”

Kou Zhong continued to laugh and said: "The young master also said that no matter where you bury the villain after he dies, he will dig out the villain and bury it by your side after a hundred years. ”

Kou Zhun opened his mouth, and surprisingly did not scold, but muttered in a low voice, "That's all there is to it...... Treat everyone as human ......"

Kou Zhong nodded very approvingly: "The villain also thinks so. ”

Kou Zhun didn't say anything more, put his hands behind his back, and hummed into the backyard.

He did not resist Kou Ji's promise to bury Kou Zhong in the Kou Mansion Cemetery and bury him beside him.

There is even some gratitude in my heart.

Kou Zhong has followed him all his life, has no children and no daughters, and belongs to a lonely widow.

After Kou Zhong died, if he didn't enter the cemetery of Kou Mansion, he could only go outside to be a lonely ghost.

In this generation, the lonely ghosts are the saddest.

The lonely grave in the countryside is also the most disrespected.

Holes were dug by snakes and rats, and everything in the grave was emptied, and no one would care.

Kou Zhun did not want to see Kou Zhong buried in the wilderness after his death.

He also had the heart to bury Kou Zhong in the Koufu Cemetery and bury it beside him.

It's just that he can't do too much of this kind of thing.

Even if he confessed before his death and asked Kou Ji to bury Kou Zhong beside him, after he died, if Kou Ji didn't do it, he would have no temper.

Even if Kou Zhong died of old age before him, he watched Kou Zhong buried in the Kou Mansion Cemetery, and Kou Ji could move Kou Zhong out after his death.

After the death of the old master, the old servant was thrown out of the house to fend for himself was not uncommon in Bianjing City.

After the old master and the old servant died, they were buried in one place, and there were many things about the old servant being thrown out of the wilderness.

There are always one or two people who feel that they are of noble blood and do not allow others to be buried in their ancestral graves or cemeteries.

Therefore, Kou Zhun raised this matter, which is far more reassuring than Kou Ji raising this matter.

Kou Ji arranged for him what Kou Zhun wanted to do, and he was naturally very pleased.

What moved Kou Zhun even more was that Kou Ji promised Kou Zhong that he would choose one of Kou Li's other sons to wear filial piety for Kou Zhong.

Although Kou Zhong has a deep relationship with his master and servant, he is a servant after all.

Kou Ji asked Kou Li's other sons to wear filial piety to Kou Zhong, which was absolutely unprecedented.

The worldly may find this inappropriate.

But Kou Zhun felt that what Kou Ji had promised was promised to his heart.

Kou Zhong has accompanied him all his life, and everything he has done for him has surpassed everyone else.

Kou Zhong deserves to let someone from Kou Mansion wear linen and filial piety for him.

Kou Zhun didn't say this, because he was afraid that after he said it, Kou Ji would refuse.

The majestic Kou Gong also has times when he is afraid of being rejected.

He was afraid that after Kou Ji rejected him, he would be disgusted with Kou Zhong, and then throw Kou Zhong into the wilderness after Kou Zhong's death.

That way, even if he died, he would not be blind.

After all, it is a very contrary to the common sense of the world to wear linen and filial piety for the servants of the lord's family.

Kou Ji disliked Kou Zhong because of this, which was also a very normal thing.

I'm glad to be.

He has a good grandson.

When Kou Zhun paced to the door of the backyard, he suddenly stopped and whispered to Kou Zhong: "Tell me, if he and Ci'er have no identity restrictions, will he take Ci'er to personally wear linen and filial piety for you?" ”

When Kou Zhong heard this, he was slightly flustered, "The villain doesn't dare to think about it......"

Kou Zhun said disdainfully: "That kid asked Kou Li to give you a son to wear linen and filial piety, you dare to respond, now we are guessing, but you don't dare to think about it, you are really hypocritical." ”

Kou Zhong said with a smile and a smile: "The young master said that he asked Master Li to give a son to the villain to wear linen and filial piety, which forced the villain to agree, but the villain did not take the initiative to agree."

The young master said that after the villain died, all the aftermath must be handled by him.

He doesn't care what he wants to do when the time comes.

Even if he invited a bunch of people to mourn in front of the villain's grave, the villain could only watch below. ”

Kou Zhun said disdainfully: "I wear linen and filial piety all day long, and I am not afraid of bad luck." ”

Kou Zhong smiled: "The villain is not afraid of bad luck, but he didn't sleep all night when he was excited. ”

Kou Zhun didn't want to deal with this old guy who had been bought by Kou Ji anymore.

He snorted and strode into the backyard.

After crossing the portal in the backyard.

Kou Zhun stopped again and muttered in a low voice, "The old man thinks he will ......"

Kou Zhong's body stiffened slightly, and he didn't know what was wrong, but his eyes became moist.

What Kou Zhun meant by this, Kou Zhong knew it in his heart.

If Kou Ji didn't have so many official restraints, and Kou Tianci didn't have the identity of the emperor's godson, Kou Ji would definitely take Kou Tianci and give Kou Zhong linen and filial piety.

Two people from the heavenly family clothed a servant in the house with linen and filial piety.

Kou Zhong didn't dare to take it.

If Kou Ji really did this, Kou Zhong probably wouldn't be at ease under Jiuquan.

Because if Kou Ji really did this, he would definitely be subjected to round after round of criticism from the world, the kind that never ends.

As a loyal servant of the Kou Mansion, Kou Zhong naturally didn't want to see this kind of thing happen.

Kou Ji should have known this, so he promised to let Kou Li's other sons wear linen and filial piety for him, instead of himself.

But Kou Ji's heart.

Kou Zhong and Kou Zhun both felt it.

Kouli's other sons, who were Kouji's blood brothers.

One of them helps Kou Zhong wear linen and filial piety, which is equivalent to helping Kou Ji wear linen and filial piety.
