"Any other words?"

Kou Ji asked.

Kou Zhun nodded and smiled: "Naturally, there is...... The power has reached the point of the old man, and ordinary government affairs do not need to pay too much attention to it, and the trivial matters in the court do not need to be done personally.

It is only necessary to guide and decide on some major events that can affect the country's capital.

However, my Great Song Dynasty has been governed by officials for a long time, and once the national politics have been determined, there are very few major events that can affect the country.

The old man needs to guide and make decisions, and there are naturally fewer major things.

Therefore, the power given to the old man by the official family is enough to make the old man control the court. ”

Kou Zhun said with some pride: "Nowadays, the old man does not need to worry about the trivial affairs of the court, but he can control the court, which is far more comfortable than before." Or you kid is smart, and you can use Liu E's plan to come up with such a wonderful escape strategy for the old man.

If the old man had been able to get out of this way earlier, he might have lived for a few more years. ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and laughed in a low voice: "If that's the case, then I don't have to feel guilty in my heart......"

Kou Zhun smiled and said: "Your old man's grandson, in order to let the old man live a few more years, what is the guilt of admonishing the old man." Quickly go down and tell the people in the house to prepare the incense case and prepare to receive the order.

The old man resigned this time, and the movement will not be small.

There is by no means only one edict canonized by the official family.

Let the people in the house prepare early. ”

Kou Ji nodded in agreement and exited Kou Zhun's study.

After Kou Ji left, the smile on his face slowly dissipated, and he sighed a little unwillingly.

He didn't lie to Kou Ji, he could indeed use the power given to him by Zhao Zhen to influence the dynasty.

But suddenly from the front of the stage to the backstage, he was always unwilling.

Man always likes to stand in the most brilliant light and want others to show the good things he has in his hands.

There are very few people who like brocade night walking.

Those who have tried to live in the most brilliant light are hidden behind their backs, and even fewer are those who walk at night in brocade clothes.

Kou Ji stood outside Kou Zhun's study and let out a long sigh.

Whether Kou Zhun's words were true or false, Kou Ji did not distinguish them carefully.

What he was most worried about was Kou Zhun's mood, afraid that Kou Zhun would be depressed and bored.

With Kou Ji's current identity and status, even without Kou Zhun's support and Kou Zhun's help, he can still influence the dynasty.

Since the word Jiaozi shop began to set up branches in the prefectures and cities in the Great Song Dynasty.

Da Song's money will continue to fall into his hands.

One day, the financial power of the Great Song Dynasty will be in his hands.

The Tiger Army, the Patrol Horse Guard, and the strong horse thieves controlled by Zhang Yuan can all be mobilized by him at will.

Zhu Neng's cronies and soldiers who are walking around, he can also be mobilized.

If he wanted to, he would be able to assemble an army loyal to him.

There are three workshops for forging steel, and he has three in his hands.

One in Bianjing, one in Baozhou, and one in Leizhou.

Although the steel forging workshop in Leizhou is still being built, the scale is larger than that outside Bianjing.

Once built, there is a steady supply of steel for him to drive.

He can use this steel to create all kinds of sharp weapons.

Above the court, with Kou Zhun's resignation, Li Di, Chen Lin and some other people who were guarding against him would completely relax their vigilance against him.

He can rely on his friendship to borrow their power from many important ministers such as Wang Zeng, Li Di, and Cao Wei.

Power, money, people.

Koji is not lacking now.

As time goes by, the power, money, and people in his hands will only become stronger.

One day, it will grow so strong that when he speaks, the world will be silent.

So whether Kou Zhun holds power or not, Kou Ji doesn't care very much.

If Kou Zhun didn't have the power, he would have worked harder at most.

If Kou Zhun is in power, he will at most have fewer obstacles and troubles.

Kou Ji's most sincere thought now is that he hopes that Kou Zhun can die a peaceful and happy life.

It's just that.

admonishing Kou Zhun to resign still caused a certain amount of psychological damage to Kou Zhun after all.

The reason why Kou Zhun spoke so open-mindedly in the room was because he was afraid that he would feel guilty because of this, so he comforted him.

He felt Kou Zhun's good intentions, so he just pretended to believe it.

Kou Ji glanced back at Kou Zhun's study, stepped out of the courtyard where the study was located, and instructed Kou Zhong who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard: "My grandfather needs to be quiet in the past few days, you restrain the housekeepers and maids in the house, and let them not disturb at will."

Then go and tell the steward of the outer courtyard to prepare the incense case and prepare to receive the order. ”

Kou Zhong stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What happened?" ”

Kou Zhong, as an old servant who has followed Kou Zhun for many years, knows Kou Zhun far better than Kou Zhun himself.

When Kou Zhun entered the mansion today, he looked beaming, but the trace of unwillingness in his eyes was still noticed by Kou Zhong.

Just now, Kou Zhun and Kou Ji were talking in the study, and they didn't let Kou Zhong wait, so Kou Zhong didn't know what was going on.

"You'll find out in a little while......"

Kou Ji said quietly and walked away.

Kou Zhong looked at Kou Ji's back, and then turned around to look at Kou Zhun's study, thoughtful.

Kou Zhong instructed the family outside the study to guard the study, and then went to the outer courtyard to spread the word.

After receiving Kou Zhong's instructions, the steward of the outer courtyard immediately began to prepare the incense case.

Zhao Zhen's wedding is still going on, but there is a reward for Kou Zhun, but there is no delay.

In the Manchu Dynasty, when the civil and military were chewing the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace.

The Zhongshu Sheren, under the command of Zhao Zhen, quickly drafted the edict.

Posthumously crowned the ancestors of the Kou family.

Posthumously named Kou Zhun's deceased wife.

Grant the seal of Kou Zhun.

Seal the Kouli.

Seal Koji.

……

One by one, the edicts were quickly drafted and stamped with jade seals.

The edict was held by the eunuchs, escorted by the imperial guard, and a letter was sent to the Kou Mansion.

When the Chinese scholars drafted the edict, there was also a small episode.

Because Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors and grandsons are too popular, Kou Li, who is caught in the middle, has no sense of existence.

If it weren't for Li Di, Wang Zeng, Wang Qinruo and other old ministers who felt that Kou Ji was young and added some second-grade false titles, which was too shocking, I am afraid that no one would have thought that there was such a person as Kou Li in Kou Mansion.

It is precisely because of the existence of Kou Li that they helped Li Di, Wang Zeng and others solve the trouble of sealing Kou Ji.

Li Di, Wang Zeng and others, by adding the title of Kouli, consumed part of the official Zhao Zhen's Longen.

But.

Kou Zhun became a sage in an instant.

Zhao Zhen's Longen is naturally indispensable.

But he couldn't give Kou Ji generously, so most of Long's grace fell on Kou Li's head.

Someone used Kou Li to calculate the affairs of Kou Zhun's ancestors and grandchildren, but Kou Zhun did not hide it.

So Wang Zeng and Li Di both knew.

Kou Li had to stay in Leizhou, where the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, so as not to cause trouble for Kou Fu.

Then, it cannot be conferred on Koli in real office.

As a result, Kou Li, who is far away in Leizhou, has a long list of false titles.

It was Kou Li who consumed the Long En given by Zhao Zhen.

Long, who fell on Koji's head, became very few.

When an edict was sent to the Koufu.

Kou Zhun's real yi, and the rewards of Kou Li and Kou Ji were also announced.

The queue to deliver the edict was huge.

The eunuchs sent not only edicts, but also jade plates, python robes, jade belts, and the three instruments of the Son of Heaven given to Kou Zhun.

There were also a lot of onlookers, and the three floors outside the Kou Mansion were full of people.

Kou Zhun has become a sage, and he no longer needs to give gifts to anyone.

But when he received the commandment, he could not stand.

So Kou Zhun didn't come out in the study.

On behalf of the Kou Mansion, Kou Ji took all the holy decrees.

To highlight Longn.

The edicts of the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Kou family were sealed, and there were eighteen letters.

One by one, they were sent to the Koufu.

Kou Ji bowed down and stood in front of the incense case, and stood for two hours before receiving the eighteen edicts.

Each edict is very mediocre, and then read out by the eunuch Yin and Yang, which naturally consumes time.

Kou Li was given four false titles, and his official position jumped all the way to the fourth rank, and the biggest false position was the fourth rank of Zhengfeng Doctor.

Compared to Kou Li, Kou Ji was only given an official position.

Straight bachelor from Sanpin Baowen Pavilion.

Although there is only one position, the gold content is higher than all the positions on Kouli combined.

This marks that Kou Ji has broken through the threshold of the fourth grade and entered the ranks of the third grade.

It also marks that Kou Ji has officially bought into the list of important ministers.

Previously, although Kou Ji was also regarded as an important minister, he only had the authority of a heavy minister, but he did not have the title of a heavy minister.

With the title of Baowen Pavilion Straight Scholar, Na Kou Ji is a rightful minister.

Furthermore.

With the title of Bachelor of the Treasure Pavilion, it marks that Kou Ji has obtained the status of the prince.

As long as there is a vacancy in the seat of the three zai in the inner court of the imperial court, Kou Ji is eligible to participate in the court meeting and compete for the vacancy of the three zai in the inner court.

Of course, it is impossible for Kou Ji to really compete for the position of the third leader of the inner court, at least not now.

Because although he is qualified to compete now, he is not old enough and not qualified enough to convince the public.

But that doesn't mean it won't work in the future.

In addition, it is worth mentioning Kou Zhun's Shiyi.

100 households, 1,000 households.

Shiyi and Shiyi have the same pronunciation, but the effect is completely different.

One has autonomy and the other does not.

The former is controlled, managed, and taxed by the Kou government itself, which is equivalent to having a part of its own subjects and its own small fiefs.

The latter is controlled by the imperial court, managed by the imperial court, and collected taxes by the imperial court, and then converted into money and grain for you, which is equivalent to eating an extra grain salary.

The former is not owned by a few people in the Zhao clan.

The reason why Kou Ji was able to have great autonomy in Jiangling was because his food was derived from Zhao Yuanzuo.

And not directly from the imperial court.

With Zhao Yuanzuo's identity and status, how many people in the court dare to manage his food estate?

There are quite a few officials in the DPRK who are not afraid of death.

But there was no need for the court to provoke him.

If he is on fire.

Initiate a surge.

His father, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, couldn't stop him.

It is precisely because of this that Kou Ji's food is the most maverick in the Great Song Dynasty.

After Kou Ji received the eighteen edicts and sent them to Kou Zhun's room, the grandfather and grandson scolded everyone not to disturb them, and each went back to the room to sleep.

But up and down the Kou Mansion, everyone inside and outside Bianjing City was fried.

People up and down the Kou Mansion gathered together in groups of three or five, discussing in a whisper.

Even if the steward of the house reprimanded him a lot, he couldn't stop it.

The people inside and outside Bianjing City rushed to tell each other, and they said it when they met people.

Kou Zhun resigned!

The Great Song Dynasty produced a sage!

The news swept through the entire Bianjing City like a gust of wind.

Many people rushed to Koufu despite the fact that it was already dark.

One by one, I couldn't help myself.

It's like a pilgrimage.

Kou Zhun's limelight overshadowed Zhao Zhen's wedding in an instant.

But no one was held accountable, and no one felt anything was wrong.

It was late at night, and the people did not disperse.

The shouts of the people shook the people in the Kou Mansion, and they couldn't sleep.

Inside the Four Monarchs Garden.

Kou Ji was dressed in a white lining, lying on the bed, his head tightly wrapped in a quilt, but he still couldn't stop the shouts of the people from reaching his ears.

"Can't sleep?"

Xiang Yan sat on the edge of the bed with a little excitement and asked.

"Hmm!"

Kou Ji rolled over and hummed softly.

Xiang Yan looked at Kou Ji, who was covering his head with a quilt, and laughed in a low voice: "The concubine can't sleep......"

"Hmm!"

"You get up and talk to the concubine, what's going on?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just that my grandfather and his old man resigned from their official position and retired after a successful death by virtue of the official marriage."

“……”

Xiang Yan said in surprise: "This is not a big deal, is it?" ”

Kou Zhun's successful retirement is now known all over the city.

Xiang Yan, as the mistress of the Kou Mansion, naturally knows.

Just to hear more from Ko Ji's mouth that she didn't know, so she pretended to be surprised.

Kou Ji lifted the corner of the quilt and snorted, "What kind of big deal is this...... Grandfather is no longer sealed, and if he stays in the court, then something big will happen. ”

Xiang Yan groaned: "Grandfather can let go of the power above ten thousand people under that person? ”

Kou Ji muttered, "I can't let go of ......"

Xiang Yan was puzzled: "Since you can't let it go, why do you still beg for bones......

"If you can't let it go, you have to let it go...... Otherwise, it's dangerous......"

"What danger?"

"You'll find out in a few days...... Someone will show you the ......."

"How long is it to live a few days......

"It can be as short as a few months, as long as three or five years......"

"What exactly is the danger?"

"Compared to this, you should care about the movement of Xiangfu. Xiaomei has now become a member of the official family, and the official family has also given a name. Today, among the many edicts canonized in Yanfu Palace, there is an edict to canonize Xiangfu......"

Kou Ji diverted the topic, didn't look over, covered himself tightly with the quilt, and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Xiang Yan said with a smile: "My little sister has become the concubine of the official family, and my uncles and brothers have been sealed, which is inevitable." It's just that the little sister is not the queen, how much reward can the official family give to the Xiang family......

It's not much......

It's like our Kou Mansion......

The concubine has been in Bianjing City for all these years, but she has never seen that mansion that can have such glory as my Kou Mansion. ”

"Hmmm......"

Kou Ji coped casually.

Xiang Yan said excitedly.

In this way, Kou Ji actually fell asleep amid the noise of many people outside the mansion.

I don't know why.

In recent days, for Zhao Zhen's wedding, in order to investigate the plans of Liu E and others, Kou Ji has not slept well.

Now that he is relaxed, Kou Ji naturally wants to have a good night's sleep.

Kou Ji slept until noon the next day.

Kou Ji was woken up by the shouts of the people outside the Kou Mansion.

Compared to last night.

Today, the shouts of the people outside the Kou Mansion are even louder.
