Is this the time for you to say this?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty complained in their hearts.

Kou Zhun coughed dryly, and said without being salty: "The official family is young, and it is inevitable that he doesn't know how important he ...... when he speaks."

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth were slightly raised, and he said: "But Yu Shi Zhongcheng, his words and deeds are inconsistent, and he is obviously derelict in his duties, but he wants to blame the official family, which is indeed a bit hypocritical." ”

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces widened their eyes, and Yu Shi Zhongcheng stared at Kou Zhun in disbelief.

Kou Zhun got up slowly, arched his hand at Zhao Zhen, faced the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and said lightly: "It's true that the official family is young, but the official family is already eleven, and it will be twelve in a few months."

In ancient times, Ganluo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, and the official family was over twelve years old, and he should also control some of the authority of the imperial court.

When it comes to the year of the official family's dancing elephant, the old man will return all the authority of the court to the official family.

Therefore, the old man hopes that you can take the official family seriously in the future and listen carefully to every word of the official family.

Don't always think of the official family as a child. ”

Kou Zhun's eyes fell on Yu Shi Zhongcheng, and said coldly: "The reason why the old man agrees with the words of the official family and does not favor you is not because you are hypocritical, but because you deceive the king!"

The official family confronts you, you can't talk about the official family, just talk about the young of the official family, you are bullying the young of the official family.

You are derelict in your duties, but you don't want to repent, you still speak skillfully, and even don't hesitate to put your sins on the officials, you deserve death. ”

Kou Zhun's voice landed, and he turned back to Zhao Zhen and said: "Official, the criminal in the imperial history deceived the king and tried to frame the king, how should I deal with it?" ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he straightened his chest, groaned for a while, and said, "Dismissal and resignation......

Before Zhao Zhen's words fell, Kou Zhun said loudly: "The old minister thinks that the king should be beheaded!" ”

Zhao Zhen was merciful and wanted to spare Yu Shizhongcheng's life, but after hearing Kou Zhun's words, he was shocked, and nodded solemnly: "Cut!" ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly, turned around, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "Drag it out!" Kill now! ”

With Kou Zhun's order, the imperial guards outside the hall rushed into the hall and drove the imperial history to the outside of the palace.

Kou Zhun looked around at the ministers, snorted coldly, and sat down in his chair without speaking.

Zhao Zhen seems to have found a little bit of the feeling of being an emperor, his waist is straight, and with Kou Zhun by his side to help him support him, he seems to be full of confidence.

"The Ministry of Officials, the Third Division? I asked you and others to carefully check the merits and demerits of Xinping County Ling and others, how did you and others verify them? ”

Zhao Zhen asked with a cold face.

The deputy envoy of the third division hurriedly left his shift and said: "The minister is guilty of negligence!" Please condemn the officials! ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on Kou Zhun with an inquiring expression.

Kou Zhun pondered for a moment and said, "Official, the deputy envoy of the third division is guilty of negligence, and he should be fined for one year as a punishment." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Then you will be fined for one year!" ”

The deputy envoy of the third division hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister admits punishment." ”

After dealing with the deputy envoy of the third division, Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and asked, "Where is the ministry?" ”

Kou Ji hugged Chao Wat, slowly got out of work, and said, "Kou Ji, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers, is here." ”

Zhao Zhen deliberately made a fierce look, "Kou Ji, I let you be in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and that's how you are in charge of the Ministry of Officials?" Those corrupt officials who deceived and deceived their subordinates, can your officials actually give a comment?

What is the reason for this, I will not give it to me in detail. ”

When the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu heard Zhao Zhen's words, the corners of his mouth twitched.

The attitude gap is too big, right?

Facing the deputy envoy of the Imperial History Zhongcheng and the Third Division, Zhao Zhen shouted and shouted to kill.

In the face of Kou Ji, although he is also fierce, he obviously has a sense of protection.

Kou Ji hugged Chaowat and shouted aggrievedly: "Official! The minister is wronged! ”

"What grievances do you have?"

"The minister has never commented on those corrupt officials."

"Oh? Then why did you put the files of those corrupt officials on the desk when I went to your ministry? ”

Kou Ji had a bitter face and said in a mournful voice: "The reason why the minister put the files of those corrupt officials on the desk is because the minister noticed that there was a problem with the political achievements and comments submitted by those corrupt officials. So put it on the case, and prepared to send someone to investigate.

But I didn't expect that the official family would come to the ministry and secretly take those files. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask with a straight face: "Then when I was on the Vertical Arch Palace, in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, I wanted to promote those corrupt officials, why didn't you stop it?" ”

Kou Ji said helplessly: "The minister has not yet verified the problems in the political achievements and reviews they have reported, so the minister does not dare to speak out." The minister is not the imperial history, and he can listen to the wind and do things.

There is no empirical matter, and the minister does not dare to take it to the court to deceive the official. ”

When Zhao Zhen heard this, the expression on his face softened a little, and he nodded his little head and said, "In this way, Xiao Kou Aiqing is not wrong in this matter." It was my negligence that I thought that the file you put on the desk was the file that was commented on. ”

Kou Ji hurriedly said: "The officials don't have to blame themselves, the promotion documents of those corrupt officials are still pressed on the officials, and they have not made a big mistake." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Zhao Zhen turned his head to Kou Zhun and said: "Taishi, Xiao Kou Aiqing does things properly, does not lie and seeks empirical evidence, and is loyal to me, and should be a model for hundreds of officials." I intend to reward Xiao Kou Aiqing to show my grace, what does the master think? ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, and said nonchalantly: "Back to the official's house, Kou Ji is the grandson of the old minister, and the old minister is in the position of the chief regent, and the old minister will inevitably be criticized when he opens his mouth to help him ask for a reward."

It is better for the officials to decide on this matter. ”

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Zhun refused to speak, so he consulted Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng respectively.

Xiang Minzhong and Wang Zeng both shirked on the grounds that they had a close relationship with Kou Ji and did not intervene.

The three old men are like mirrors in their hearts.

I didn't want to give Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen their stinky feet to death.

This big drama in today's vertical arch hall is obviously brewed by Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen.

The two gentlemen and ministers praise each other on weekdays, which is disgusting enough.

Now let the three of them hold their stinky feet, thinking too beautifully.

"Then give Xiao Kou Aiqing 100,000 money......"

Zhao Zhen finally decided to reward Kou Ji with a little money.

As for the addition of officials and knights, Zhao Zhen thought about it and dared to say it, but he knew that after he said it, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would not agree.

After rewarding Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen stopped talking.

Kou Zhun opened his mouth, and the Criminal Department sent people to Xinping County to find out about the bandits' looting of Qingshou Temple.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses stationed in Jingzhao Mansion were ordered to go to Xinping County to exterminate the bandits.

Besides.

In the stunned eyes of the Manchu civil and military, Kou Zhun announced another piece of news that shocked the government and the opposition.

Another year of Enko.

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were in an uproar.

Previously, when Kou Zhun suppressed those imperial histories, he added three years of Enke, and now he has added one year of Enke for no reason, that is, four years.

After four years of Enke, the imperial court had to add nearly 1,000 new jinshi.

What is the intention of Kou Zhun's move, no one in the Manchu Dynasty can guess it.

After the dispersal of the dynasty.

The Criminal Department sent people to Xinping County, and at the same time, the documents of the inner court were also sent to Xinping along with the personnel of the Criminal Department.

Eight days later.

Xinping County sent back news that the garrison of Jingzhao Mansion, under the leadership of the Jingzhao Prefecture regimental training envoy, rushed to Xinping County to exterminate the bandits on Fotou Mountain, and obtained more than 130,000 yuan in money and 240,000 quintals of grain.

According to the investigation of the people of the Criminal Department, the grain in the bandits' den in Fotou Mountain was packed with hemp from the Changping warehouse in Jingzhao Mansion.

After Kou Zhun learned of this, he ordered the people of the Criminal Department to investigate to the end.

After careful investigation, they were involved in a corruption case that shocked the government and the opposition, and 16 lives were also implicated.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Zhun were all thunderous and angry.

The officials in Jingzhao Mansion, from top to bottom, were almost swept to the end.

Hundreds of people were beheaded, and thousands were exiled with their families.

When the waiter of the Criminal Department, who was in charge of investigating and dealing with this corruption case, returned to Beijing, Wan Min gave him a gift, and it is said that he also got seven or eight Wan Min umbrellas.

What is surprising is that Kou Ji's cheap father Kou Li was not implicated in this corruption case.

Not only that, after a large number of officials in Jingzhao Mansion were beheaded, he actually picked up a bargain and was promoted to a county magistrate.

Of course, that's all for later.

……

After the day when Zhao Zhen exerted his power on the Vertical Arch Palace, Kou Ji never went to the Vertical Arch Hall again, and devoted himself to the administration of the Ministry of Officials.

Occasionally, he would quietly hand Zhao Zhen a large number of files.

Let Zhao Zhen repeat his old skills.

When Zhao Zhen once again took out the list of officials he was 'optimistic about' on the vertical arch hall, the Manchu Dynasty was obedient in civil and military affairs.

No one is threatening to say that those on the list should be promoted.

Prudent choice is silent.

An imprudent opening is criticism.

Anyway, in the face of the list that Zhao Zhen took out, no one said yes.

After that, every few days, Zhao Zhen would take out a list and let the Manchu civil and military discuss.

In the face of the list taken out by Zhao Zhen, none of the Manchu civil and military forces said yes.

And so on.

After seven or eight lists.

Zhao Zhen finally stopped coming up with a new list, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also breathed a sigh of relief.

Kou Ji put together the list and threw it to Kou Zhun.

"Grandfather, you let Lu Yijian stay in Qufu for half a month, right? can let him attack the Kong family. ”

Kou Zhun looked at the list that Kou Ji threw at him, and his expression was extremely complicated.

The officials selected by Kou Ji are all in very tricky positions.

Either the middle-level officials of the provinces and roads, or the upper-level officials of the provinces and roads.

Under the calculations of Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had already determined that these people could not be promoted.

Middle- and upper-level officials in various provinces and roads cannot be promoted, so officials at the lowest level naturally cannot be promoted.

Even if he has outstanding political achievements and good reputations, he cannot be promoted.

Because there is no one to make a pit for them, and there is nowhere for them to ascend.

"You toss like this, no one in Da Song has been promoted this year......"

Kou Zhun pinched the list and sighed.

Kou Ji said seriously: "No, no." For example, those who were transferred to Beijing from abroad, and those who were transferred to Jingzhao Mansion, were all promoted. ”

"Hundreds?"

The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth twitched.

Kou Ji nodded, "It's quite a lot." ”

Kou Zhun didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

The Great Song Dynasty dispatched tens of thousands of officials every year.

Kou Ji tossed like this, and there were hundreds of people left.

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji viciously, and said angrily: "That's not what you told the old man at the beginning. You said at the beginning that after your plan with the official family was successful, it would be difficult for the Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military Association to protect itself.

But the result now is true, you can't protect yourself.

The Manchu civil and military forces are still kept in the dark, and once they know that no one will be promoted this year, they will definitely go crazy.

You will be the target of their impeachment. ”

Kou Ji decisively shook the pot and said: "The leader of this matter is the official family, they want to impeach, and they are also impeaching the official family, what does it have to do with me?" I'm just doing what the officials want. ”

Kou Zhun glared and said, "Are you harming the official family?" ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "I also did this for the sake of the official family......

Kou Zhun was speechless, so he could only wave his hand and scold: "Get out......

Kou Ji nodded and left Kou Zhun's study.

When he walked to the door, he turned around and reminded Kou Zhun, "If you want to take Qufu's land, you have to do it as soon as possible, and it will change later." ”

Kou Zhun said with a dark face: "The old man doesn't need you to remind him. ”

Koji nodded and walked away.

After returning to his yard, it didn't take long.

Kou Zhong came to report, "Little young master, someone from the Mu family has come to the door." ”

When Kou Ji heard the news, he was slightly stunned, and laughed in a low voice: "It's been almost a month, and the Mu family should also react." However, their reaction speed is a bit slow. ”

Kou Zhong said with a smile and a smile: "From Bianjing City to Sichuan Mansion, there is a thousand miles away. It also takes time for people from the Mu family to communicate back and forth. ”

Kou Ji nodded and smiled: "All our money is scattered?" ”

Kou Zhong nodded slowly and said, "It's all gone...... Now all of them have been exchanged for Jiaozi. If it weren't for the little young master, you would have been in a state of mind, and the old servant would have panicked with those friends. ”

The three million copper coins were all replaced with pieces of paper.

Who doesn't panic?

Kou Ji can sit still.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have been panicked for a long time.

Kou Ji followed Kou Zhong to the side hall of Kou Mansion.

When I entered the side hall, I saw the chubby Qian Yuan, with an even fatter young man, waiting in the side hall.

Qian Yuan stood behind the chubby young man in the posture of a servant.

The chubby young man was dressed in Shu brocade, and he stood a little stunned and stunned.

After Kou Ji entered the side hall, Qian Yuan took the chubby young man to take the initiative to meet him.

"The villain is far away from ...... money"

"Murong ...... Shuzhong"

"I've seen Kou Shilang."

The two of them saluted Kou Ji in unison.

Qian Yuan's attitude was humble, and the chubby young man was not stunned, nor was he stunned, but he looked at Kou Ji's gaze with some anger.

Kou Ji looked the chubby young man up and down.

He walked to the main seat in the side hall and sat down, and said with a smile: "The two of you sit down and talk." ”

Qian Yuan invited the chubby young man to sit down, and he bowed down and stood behind the chubby young man.

Seeing this, Kou Ji asked with a smile, "Boss Qian, who is this?" ”

Qian Yuan accompanied the smiling face, bowed down and said, "Kou Shilang, you still call the villain Qian Yuan." ”

With that, he introduced the chubby young man to Kou Ji.

"This is Murong, the little son of our Mu family."

Murong arched his hand and said to Kou Ji: "Under Murong ......"

Kou Ji nodded slowly, and instructed Kou Zhong: "Serve tea!" ”
