Kou Ji shouted a lot in his heart, but he said it lightly.

"How can the official family be sure that the one born to the inner son must be a girl, and the one born to Zhang Jieyu must be the dragon son?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhang Jieyu and said lightly: "I believe that Zhang Jieyu must be pregnant with a dragon in her belly." ”

Kou Ji asked, "What if?" ”

Zhao Zhen said heroically: "There is no case." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned and pouted slightly, "It's rare for a minister to see an official family with such confidence. ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji and asked, "Shouldn't I believe in myself?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned again, Zhao Zhen is now not only grown up and mature, but also has some more imperial prestige.

It's just that......

Am I, Kouji, the kind of person who is led by the nose by you?

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Why do the official family insist on marrying the minister? ”

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "I am like a brother and sister to you, and I don't mind kissing and kissing again, bringing you and me closer to each other." ”

Kou Ji groaned: "Right now, Neiko has just shown her pregnancy, Zhang Jieyu has not yet shown her pregnancy, and it is a little too early to talk about marriage now." ”

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned and frowned slightly, "You don't want to become a son and daughter with me, this is your excuse?" ”

Kou Ji smiled dryly: "The minister is afraid that Zhang Jieyu and Neiko will both give birth to baby boys." When the time comes, the words of the children and the like will become a joke. ”

Zhao Zhen groaned: "If it is a man and a woman, then become a couple, and if it is two baby boys, then become brothers." ”

The smile on Kou Ji's face froze a little.

Zhao Zhen continued: "I can also accept him as a righteous son, give him the surname Zhao, make him a county duke, and make him a waiter, and accompany my emperor to study." ”

The smile on Kou Ji's face stiffened.

The meaning in Zhao Zhen's words is obvious.

Xiang Yanruo gave birth to a daughter, who was his daughter-in-law, and she became a princess when she landed.

If there is a son left, it is his son's companion little scholar.

Zhao Zhen can give Kou Ji's son so generously, and the reason for this, Kou Ji can also guess.

Zhao Zhen grew up alone in the palace since he was a child, but he had few playmates, but he lacked a friend who could talk to him, and his childhood life was very lonely.

He had already experienced that loneliness, and knew how frightening and painful that loneliness was.

Therefore, he was unwilling to let his emperor experience the fear and pain he had experienced again.

If this happened to someone else, that person would immediately fall to his knees and shout thank you.

But it fell on Kou Ji's head, but Kou Ji looked reluctant.

Why does my son have your last name?

The surname Zhao is amazing?

Why should my son be your son's sidekick?

Just because your son's surname is Zhao?

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji have their own thoughts.

Queen Cao, Zhang Jieyu, and Xiang Yan were shocked.

The three daughters all knew that Kou Ji was very favored in front of Zhao Zhen, but they didn't expect to be favored to this extent.

The child in Xiang Yan's womb has not yet been born.

The noble status has already fallen on his (her) head.

Out of the mother's womb, it is immediately an existence above ten thousand people under one person.

Whether it is the identity of Zhao Zhen's daughter-in-law or Zhao Zhen's godson, it is unspeakably expensive.

"I think it's too early to talk about it."

Kou Ji smiled stiffly and rejected Zhao Zhen's proposal.

Queen Cao, Zhang Jieyu, and Xiang Yan were even more shocked.

Someone else can't ask for an identity that they can't ask for when they break their heads, and you casually refuse?

The expression on Zhao Zhen's face was also stiff, and he said with an ugly face: "Kou Ji...... Are you so reluctant to get closer to me? ”

Kou Ji had already thought of his rhetoric when he rejected Zhao Zhen, and he arched his hand and said: "It's not that the minister is unwilling to get close to the official family. It's just that I have rules in the DPRK, and my relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics.

If the official family wants to marry the minister, they must first remove the minister's position as a powerful official Cao Shangshu and expel the minister from the court. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned, "I forgot, there is such a rule." I still have a lot of political affairs to rely on you, and I am not willing to expel you from the court. You allow me some time, and when I think of a safe way, you and I will discuss this matter again. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he said with a straight face: "The official family, relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics, it is the ancestral system, and it cannot be crossed without permission." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Ji meaningfully.

Kou Ji stared at Zhao Zhen without blinking.

Zhao Zhen let out a sigh of relief, and said faintly: "I'm tired, I want to rest for a while." ”

Kou Ji immediately got up, helped Xiang Yan up, and saluted Zhao Zhen together.

"The minister will retire first."

Zhao Zhen nodded helplessly and said, "When the Wenchang Academy opens, you can just come and invite me." ”

Kou Ji nodded, and helped Xiang Yan out of the main hall.

1. Exit the main hall.

Xiang Yan couldn't help but ask: "Xianggong, the official family said that they want to give our son the title of county duke, and also give our son the surname Zhao, but you didn't agree?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan, "My child can only be surnamed Kou." ”

What Kou Ji said was loud and could not be refused.

Xiang Yan looked suspicious.

It is a great honor to be given the royal surname.

What others have begged for for eight lifetimes, Xiang Yan doesn't know why Kou Ji refuses so simply and unquestionably.

Seeing that Xiang Yan's eyes were full of doubts, Kou Ji pouted and said, "The child in your belly, if it is really a baby boy, it is the eldest son and grandson of the fourth generation of my Kou Mansion." If the surname is Zhao, do you believe that your grandfather will break into the palace and tear down the vertical arch hall? ”

Xiang Yan was stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, I feel that what Kou Ji said makes sense.

Whether it is Kou Zhun's son Kou Li or Kou Zhun's grandson Kou Ji, they are all inherited.

Not born in Khorfu.

The heel foot is always a little shallow.

Even though Kou Zhun treats Kou Ji as his own grandson, no one knows if there is an estrangement in his heart.

But if Xiang Yan gave birth to a baby boy in Kou Mansion, it would be the descendant of the upright Kou Zhun lineage.

No one can find the slightest problem with Kou Zhun's great-grandson.

Kou Zhun finally has a bloodline inheritance, if he is named Zhao.

It's no wonder that Kou Zhun doesn't go crazy.

What about Zhao's surname?

There were many royal relatives and nobles surnamed Zhao in the Great Song Dynasty, but there was only one sage surnamed Kou.

The descendants of dignified sages are not as good as the royal surname of a wild road?

Xiang Yan made up a lot of brain in an instant.

But I don't know.

Kodzi's words were just a rhetoric.

In the final analysis, it was his reluctance to let his child's surname be Zhao.

He didn't think that the surname Zhao must be more noble than the surname Kou.

His children don't need to change their surnames to seek wealth.

Xiang Yan made up for it and dispelled the idea of letting the child in her belly take advantage of the royal family, but she had doubts in her heart, "Xianggong, why do you say that the official family firmly believes that what Zhang Jieyu is pregnant with must be a dragon?"

What if it's a dragon girl? ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "In the past, the King of Wei was deprived of his identity because of his bad intentions and sent to Fangling. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he remembered the family affection in the past and rewarded them with one or two, but after all, they have been out of the center of power for too long and have been forgotten by people, and it is difficult to enter the center of power again.

Those high-ranking officials and ministers in the court, few people no longer regard them as relatives of the emperor.

Taizu's lineage, when Taizong was in the court, was cleaned up once for some reason.

During the reign of the first emperor, the erysipelas case broke out again, and the first emperor deprived many people of the Taizu lineage of the title and degraded them to the common people.

Because of this, the Taizu lineage was separated from the center of power.

The rebellion of the Eight Kings, the burning of the palace by the King of Chu, and the dragon sons and grandsons of the Eight Kings Mansion and the Chu King's Mansion are now all relegated to commoners.

The heirs of the other princes of Taizong's lineage are relatively thin.

The Zhao clan has reached an unprecedented period of thin people.

The official family naturally continued to give birth to baby boys, which opened up branches for the Zhao family.

More importantly, during the reign of the first emperor, only one prince of the official family survived in the palace.

The official family was somewhat afraid of repeating the mistakes of the previous emperor, so they urgently needed to give birth to a prince.

Only by giving birth to a few more princes will the panic in the hearts of the official family be eliminated.

This is also the reason why the official family firmly believes that the child in Zhang Jieyu's belly must be the prince. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's explanation, Xiang Yan suddenly realized.

"That strange official never mentioned the Dragon Girl......"

Kou Ji smiled faintly.

"Let's go back to our room and rest."

"Listen to the ......"

Kou Ji helped Xiang Yan back to his room to rest.

In the main hall of the Koufu annex.

Zhao Zhen, who threatened to say that he was tired, did not go to rest, but asked Queen Cao with a melancholy face.

"Queen, I proposed to Kou Ji to marry, but Kou Ji did everything possible to prevaricate, why do you say this?"

Empress Cao poured Zhao Zhen a cup of tea and laughed in a low voice: "Didn't Kou Aiqing say that if the official family marries him, then he will not be able to appear in the court in the future, and he will no longer be able to help the official family." ”

Zhao Zhen picked up the teacup, but put down the teacup again, shook his head and said, "I always feel that his words are not sincere. I felt that he was unwilling to marry me in his heart. ”

Empress Cao also felt so, but she didn't say it, but instead helped Kou Ji speak.

"The concubine thinks that it is probably because Kou Aiqing rarely refuses the official family, and occasionally refuses the official family once or twice, and the official family is not happy in your heart, so look at him unpleasantly and think about him in a bad way."

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe......"

Empress Cao smiled indifferently.

Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, and then said: "Others are eager to send their daughters into the palace and become the wives and concubines of my emperor, but Kou Ji is unwilling, it's really strange." ”

Empress Cao was slightly stunned, but she didn't speak for Kou Ji again.

Talk to Zhao Zhen and say that it is called admonishment.

Frequently saying good things for a person is an ulterior motive.

Zhao Zhen is now gradually maturing, and he has begun to gradually master the emperor's mental technique.

As Zhao Zhen's pillow person, Queen Cao has begun to understand some of Zhao Zhen's thoughts.

So, she knows when she can speak for others and when she needs to keep her mouth shut.

Empress Cao didn't say anything.

Zhang Jieyu spoke.

"The official family doesn't have to be upset, our emperor hasn't been born yet. After the birth of the emperor, it is not too late for the official family to determine the marriage of the emperor. The official family can take advantage of the fact that the emperor is not born, take a second look, and find a good wife for the emperor. ”

Zhao Zhen heard Zhang Jieyu's words, pinched his chin and thought about it.

"Idiot!"

Empress Cao scolded in her heart.

Zhang Jieyu's words can be regarded as a disguised substitute for the child in her womb, refusing to marry Kou Fu.

So Queen Cao thinks Zhang Jieyu is a fool.

Zhang Jieyu didn't know how deep the friendship between Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji was.

Zhao Zhen only relied on Kou Ji's words, and used means to kill Guo Yunu, and Empress Cao knew about it.

But Zhang Jieyu didn't know.

Zhao Zhen can kill a concubine of his own because of Kou Ji's words.

But Zhao Zhen will never play Kou Ji to death because of his concubine's words.

Although Zhao Zhen dotes on Zhang Jieyu, he has not yet caused trouble for Zhang Jieyu.

will not embarrass Zhao Zhen for Zhang Jieyu.

When Zhang Jieyu and Kou Ji have a conflict, Zhao Zhen will definitely favor Kou Ji.

There is no other reason.

Zhao Zhen privately called Kou Ji 'Fourth Brother'.

That's not just a casual call.

But in his heart, he really regarded Kou Ji as a brother.

After Zhao Heng, Liu E and other Zhao Zhen's closest relatives passed away one after another, a large part of the family affection in Zhao Zhen's heart was pinned on Kou Ji.

The other part is pinned on Concubine Yang.

Although Zhao Zhen's mother-in-law, Concubine Li, is still alive, she also accompanies Zhao Zhen.

But Zhao Zhen didn't grow up in the hands of Concubine Li, and he didn't have much family affection for Concubine Li.

When Zhao Zhen treats Concubine Li, he is more like a junior, treating an elder respectfully.

Instead of treating his own biological mother like a son.

It is precisely because Zhao Zhen pins some family affection on Kou Ji.

Therefore, Kou Ji's status in the court in the future is destined to be as stable as Mount Tai.

How powerful Kou Ji's methods are, Empress Cao has personally experienced them.

Because she was able to sit on the throne of the queen, it was also thanks to Kou Ji's planning.

Kou Ji is destined to enter the inner court and is destined to become a high-ranking and powerful minister.

Like such an important minister, if he can become his son's father-in-law, Empress Cao can wake up with a smile in her dreams at night.

Because if his son has a high-ranking and powerful minister as his father-in-law, then his son's hope of sitting on the throne in the future is much higher than that of others.

plus Kou Ji's grandfather behind Kou Zhun, and Kou Ji's grandfather-in-law Xiang Minzhong.

and the protégés behind them.

and the Cao family, the martial arts who are attached to the Cao family.

Almost half of the court will support their son.

His son is almost safe on the throne.

is so in-law, unwilling to tie the knot, and insists on throwing it out?

Do you think you're throwing out an insignificant in-laws?

No, what you threw out was a throne.

Isn't that stupid?

It is also that Queen Cao is not pregnant, if Queen Cao is pregnant and can give birth to a dragon son smoothly, she will definitely lose her face and mobilize all the power in her hand to tie Kou Ji to her son's chariot.

Let Koji run for his son's throne.

Empress Cao weighed the pros and cons in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "What Sister Zhang said is reasonable......

Zhang Jieyu was smart and took the initiative to excuse the matter.

There is no need for Empress Cao to remind her, let alone help her become smarter.

Zhang Jieyu saw that Empress Cao was speaking for her, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
