Large and small rebellions ran through the entire Song Dynasty, and no one rebelled and overthrew the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it is very difficult to rebel in the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji didn't think that he could overthrow the Great Song Dynasty with two or three hundred thousand warriors.

Not to mention, just the forbidden army in Bianjing City and the Fourth Army may not be able to take down the two or three hundred thousand warriors in Baozhou.

What's more, the Great Song Dynasty had other soldiers and horses.

The forbidden armies, box armies, vassal soldiers, and township soldiers, large and small soldiers and horses, added up to more than one million people.

There are also tens of millions of people who are supported by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for Kou Ji leading two or three hundred thousand warriors, he could overthrow it.

If you really want to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, it will be easier to follow Zhao Kuangyin's approach.

It's just that there are no soldiers and horses in Bianjing City for him to mobilize.

Although those martial artists were under the constraints of the imperial court and had deep resentments against the imperial court, they were still the most loyal supporters of the imperial court.

Because they enjoyed enough preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court.

If they were to support a certain prince to usurp the throne, they might still have ideas.

But if they were to rebel together, they would probably not agree.

The preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court is enough for them to live the life they want, and they can't afford to exchange their lives for the same wealth, or a little higher than the wealth in front of them.

What's more, if it is after the change of dynasty, it is difficult to say whether the emperor of the new dynasty can treat them as favorably as the Zhao family.

So Kou Ji felt that his rebellion did not have much success rate.

If it is to break the soil and seal the territory, it will be easy.

He only needs to take soldiers and horses, occupy a place on the border, and fight three or five times of the imperial court's crusade, so that he can lie comfortably on the border and become a king.

At that time, maybe in the name of tribute, he can take advantage of the court.

Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun, suddenly laughed at himself, and then said, "Grandfather is telling me a joke?" There are less than 300,000 capable fighters in Baozhou. 300,000 soldiers and horses rebelled, can they fight from Baozhou to Bianjing?

I'm afraid I can't even get out of the Zhending Mansion.

Also, although the Son of Heaven's pro-army is controlled by me and does not supervise the army, the official family has already installed many cronies in it.

Even if I wanted to raise troops, they wouldn't agree.

And I minted money in Jiangling Shiyi in order to use superb skills to mint exquisite, durable, and high-content copper coins, so as to sort out the chaotic copper coins in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty.

As for the three major businessmen in Shu, they only have a cooperative relationship with me.

We can make a profit together, but we can't rebel together.

Besides, in the business we do, there are also officials involved.

The official family has the most influence and the most right to speak.

With these removed, what shall I rebel with?

Just that little money in the house? ”

After Kou Ji, he made it clear what was at stake, and Kou Zhun would dispel his doubts, but he didn't expect Kou Zhun to say something coldly after listening to his words.

"It's not enough for others to rebel with money alone. But you can! ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to retort fiercely.

But he heard Kou Zhun say again: "Because you have the grandfather of the old man, and the old man is only half a step away from the throne." There are three seats in the inner court, one of which is occupied by the old man, and the other two seats are also the old man's best friends.

There are as many as half of the officials in the court who obey the old man's orders.

The old man's confidant Zhu Neng guarded the imperial city.

As long as the old man gives an order, he can help the old man do anything. ”

Kou Ji's eyes widened in astonishment when he heard this.

He wanted to rant out loud.

You're the one who wants to rebel, right?

Grandfather!

Kou Zhun continued: "You only need to spend some money to buy off the remaining half of the courtiers. Even if you can't buy it all, it's better to buy some of it. and then used money to bribe the eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace, so that they poisoned the official family.

and then buy off some of the generals in the forbidden army of Gongwei in Bianjing.

You can easily take the throne.

You only need to join hundreds of officials after the death of the official family, and ask the old man to make the prince you fancy as the official family.

Then it was up to him to give the throne to the old man.

When the old man takes the position, you will be able to use all Zhu Neng, as well as the hands of the generals and colonels of the forbidden army, to quickly eradicate dissidents.

When the old man dies, what will be left to you is a stable and stable society. ”

After Kou Ji heard this, he quickly calculated it in his mind and found that what Kou Zhun said was very feasible.

Far higher than his rebellion.

And there is an eighty percent success rate.

The premise is that Kou Zhun cooperates.

After Kou Zhun finished saying this, he stared straight at Kou Ji, wanting to see how Kou Ji reacted.

Kou Ji frowned and didn't say a word.

After a long time, he raised his head, stared at Kou Zhun, and said frankly: "Grandfather, being an official is nothing good." People are rare, and I'm really not rare at all.

Besides, the official family has a deep affection for me, and I don't want to hurt him......"

Kou Zhun let out a sigh of relief when he heard Kou Ji's words.

He stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "Taizong, Emperor Xian, the two official families, both have great kindness to the old man. Although the first emperor belittled the old man several times, the old man's position in his heart has never been shaken.

The fact that the first emperor was able to entrust the official family to the old man when he was in danger was a great recognition and trust of the old man.

The old man cannot be ashamed of his kindness to Taizong and the first emperor, and the old man cannot live up to the recognition and trust of the first emperor.

That's why the old man will ask you for clarification after he has doubts.

If you really have the idea of plotting to usurp the throne, then the old man is bound to kill his relatives in righteousness.

took away all your official titles, sent you back to Huazhou, let people watch you, and live a lifetime. ”

Kou Zhun can tell how to deal with Kou Ji, and Kou Ji believes that Kou Zhun is telling the truth.

Kou Zhun didn't say that he would kill him, which shows that in Kou Zhun's heart, their ancestors and grandchildren are very affectionate.

After Kou Zhun said this, he said again: "You said that you don't like the throne at all, but the old man doesn't believe it. But you said that the official family has a deep affection for you, and you don't want to hurt him, the old man believes it. ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said solemnly: "Because the official family is really good to you, treat you as a brother." ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself.

Kou Zhun was unusually today, he had to pull out the topic of rebellion and talk about it, and beat him, eighty percent of them were stimulated in the palace.

And it is also related to Zhao Zhen.

Kou Zhun didn't let Kou Ji think about it for a long time, he sighed and said: "The official family is very satisfied with your resettlement of the homeless, and knows that you have made great contributions, so they plan to reward you heavily."

Originally, I wanted to promote you to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but the three of them vetoed it.

The three old men didn't want to pressure you not to be promoted.

Since you were in charge of the Ministry of Political Affairs, the three old men knew that you were promoted and could not be suppressed.

The reason why the three old men prevented you from serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is because the Ministry of Industry does not have much real power.

Although he has snatched back some power from the capital water supervisor and the three divisions, it is still a clear water yamen.

The three old men plan to let you experience in the official position of the Ministry of Supervision, accumulate more political achievements, and make up for your lack of foreign appointments.

Then when the old man stepped down from Pingzhangshi, he used this to promote you to the secretary of the criminal department.

He is in charge of the Criminal Department.

With your relationship with the official family, it is inevitable that you will enter the inner court in the future. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a while, thinking about the meaning of Kou Zhun's words.

Kou Zhun's words are easy to understand, but there are some other things mixed in.

For example, Kou Ji's lack of experience in foreign office.

On the bright side, Kou Ji was first promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and then transferred to the secretary of the criminal department, and there were not many problems.

But in reality?

Once Kou Ji is promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he will inevitably become the existence of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military attention, and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military will grasp the things that Kou Ji has no experience in foreign office, and constantly find fault with him.

Kou Zhun Ruo stepped down from the post of chief regent.

According to the practice of the imperial court, Kou Zhun has made such a great contribution to the imperial court, and he must be crowned and promoted to Kou Ji, Kou Li's father and son, and Long'en is demonstrated.

If Kou Ji is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, then if he rises further, he can only enter the inner court.

The problem is that he is not old enough and has shallow qualifications, even if Zhao Zhen forcibly promoted him to the inner court, the Manchu civil and military forces would not agree.

Ganluo's twelve-year-old worship happened in the Qin Dynasty, but it would not happen in the Great Song Dynasty.

So when the time comes, there are only three paths left in front of Kou Ji.

One resignation.

An external tune.

One is a paraphrase for martial arts.

But no matter which one, it is not what Kou Zhun wants to see.

He is now a killer with Wang Zeng and Li Di, and he has offended countless people.

If he died, Li Di and Wang Zeng also died, and Kou Ji was left outside, or shrunk in the Privy Council, then he would not be slaughtered?

So when he learned that he couldn't restrain Kou Ji's promotion, he worked with Wang Zeng and Li Di to plan a complete path for Kou Ji.

Let Kou Ji polish more qualifications and merits in the position of the head of the management and hook engineering department.

Then when he stepped down, or after he died, he took advantage of the grace of the imperial court to move Kou Ji to the position of the secretary of the criminal department.

Then let Kou Ji hone in the position of the secretary of the criminal department for a few years, mixing political achievements and age.

When he is old enough, he will be recommended by Wang Zeng and Li Di to lead him into the inner court.

In this way, there is no need to worry about anyone picking on his qualifications and age.

After Wang Zeng and Li Di died.

Kou Ji can become a peaceful matter, and while he is in charge of power, he doesn't have to fear anyone, and he can also protect the three families of Li, Kou, and Wang.

Kou Ji guessed Kou Zhun's thoughts, but did not speak.

Because since Kou Zhun and the others failed to agree to his relocation to the Ministry of Industry, there must be a later story.

Otherwise, Kou Zhun would never have said that sentence, Zhao Zhen was really good to him.

Kou Zhun didn't know that Kou Ji had already guessed his thoughts, he stared at Kou Ji and asked, "You can complain that the old man prevented you from being promoted to the position of secretary of the Ministry of Industry." ”

Kou Ji spread out his hands and smiled indifferently: "Is there a difference between the authority in my hands now and the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Kou Ji's witty remark dispelled the solemn atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson.

Kou Zhun laughed and said, "If you think like this, it won't be in vain for the old man's hard work." ”

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "So...... The official family got into trouble with you later? ”

Kou Ji just said it casually.

After all, with Zhao Zhen's identity, it is a bit inappropriate to play with his temperament.

Unexpectedly, Kou Zhun nodded with a bitter face.

"Yes! The official family had a quarrel with the old man. He didn't cry, he didn't shout, he didn't splash and roll. It's just that the old man handed him a single fold, and he didn't read a single one.

Not only did he not look at it, but he also ignored the three old men when the three old men taught him to govern. ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun said: "Although the old man has not taught the official family, the official family can be regarded as the old man who grew up. When the official family was a child, he had an easy-going temperament and treated the old man and others with courtesy.

After getting a little older, his temperament became much kinder, and he treated the old man and others even more favorably.

has never been rude in front of the three old husbands, let alone in front of the old man and others.

But for your sake, he acted as if he had changed as a different person, and he was working against the three old husbands. ”

Kou Ji said suspiciously: "The official family is not young, right...... It's sensible too...... It shouldn't be......"

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because he is not young and sensible, so he and the old man have a temperament, which is the true temperament." If he was young, he shouted for you to be added to the knighthood, and the old man only thought he was messing around.

But when he grows up, he is still like this, which shows that he treats you sincerely.

Treat you like a brother.

It is precisely because of this that after the old man learned that the soldiers and civilians of Baozhou were obedient to you, he would ask you if you wanted to rebel. ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said: "In the past dynasties, ruthless emperors abound, but there are very few emperors who are affectionate and righteous. There are even fewer emperors who can treat a courtier with such sincerity. ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said, "When you meet such an emperor, you should pity him instead of hurting him." If you have two hearts, he will definitely hurt his liver and intestines.

You don't want to hurt him, and the old man doesn't want him to be hurt. ”

Kou Zhun said this with sincerity.

But the corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Zhao Zhen has a deep affection for him, and he can feel it.

It's just that Kou Zhun's description and words make it seem as if he has something to do with Zhao Zhen.

For example, the word 'liver and intestines are broken'......

Kou Ji was talking a little in his heart, and said in agreement: "I will definitely not hurt the official family." ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said, "If you are loyal all your life, the official family will definitely become a commendable benevolent monarch." If you have two hearts, no one can predict what will become of the official family. ”

The more Kou Zhun said it, the more serious it became, but the more Kou Ji listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that Kou Zhun was going to continue, Kou Ji decisively interrupted him and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I really don't have the slightest interest in the throne. If I am interested in the throne, I will not intrigue with the Manchu civil and military forces.

Only need to let Zhu Neng go to break the embankment of the Yellow River when Zhou Huaizheng rebelled before, and follow Zhou Huaizheng to lead the troops into Beijing.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhou Huaizheng was able to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the imperial city.

No matter how many 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhu Neng, it was enough to break through the imperial city.

At that time, although your authority was not as great as it is now, it was still under one man and above ten thousand.

What you said before, you can do the same.

I didn't even care about such a great opportunity.

Now how can they go to great lengths to snatch that cage-like throne? ”
