When Wei Yan said this, it was Kou Zhun Kou Laoxi who was frightened; Kou Laoxi was really confused before, and he was careless about Jingzhou, and he really wanted to send troops out of the Prime Minister's Mansion; Then Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei didn't know how to pickle him in front of the emperor, and they said that they would take his head; It is not easy to deprive him of the prime minister's position.

Kou Zhun knew that the Song Dynasty was a strange dynasty, and the emperor's seizure of the prime minister's power was as simple as drinking cold water.

The prime minister of the Song Dynasty did not call the prime minister Tongping Zhangshi, that is, two people holding this position at the same time was conducive to mutual constraints.

The prime minister of the same peace and affairs cannot be involved in the affairs of the army, and the affairs of the army are handled by the Privy Council; However, the Privy Council also had to issue military talismans in accordance with the emperor's edict in order to mobilize the army.

The Privy Council can mobilize the army but does not manage it, and it is the Department of the Palace, the Department of the Guards and the Horse Army, and the Department of the Guards and Infantry that manage the army.

The third division is responsible for managing the army but does not have the right to transfer, it seems that Zhao Lao Er did work hard after seizing the power of the army with a glass of wine; Zhao Laosan made a careful polish on the basis of his brother, making the army of the Song Dynasty the most bizarre armed force in history.

Although Zhao Laoer, Zhao Laosan, and Xiao Zhao Laosan have strict jurisdiction over the army, the disadvantages of the forbidden army's ignorance of generals and soldiers are frequently manifested in battles; Taken by the Liao State and the Xia State. Pus in the eyes is too normal.

Kou Zhun is a straight man, and his love of drinking is his problem; But the straightforwardness and boldness of the Guanzhong people are vividly demonstrated in him; Seeing that a confidant doesn't pull up and drink two cups, I always feel unsatisfied.

No, this morning he gave the emperor a leave of absence and said that he was sick and bedridden; But secretly rushed to Daxiangguo Temple for a private visit.

This private visit actually met Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, and if this kind of thing was left on others, he would be immediately scared away; Who would have believed that Qin Shi Huang, who had been dead for more than a thousand years, would be resurrected in the Song Dynasty?

Kou Zhun believed that Qin Shi Huang, the township party, was reborn - Qin Shi Huang's ancestral hometown was Guanzhong Xifu and spoke Xifu dialect, and Kou Zhun's hometown belonged to Dongfu in Weinan; The two of them were the township party - they invited him to drink without hesitation.

Kou Zhun and Qin Shi Huang really drank this wine and found that the strong woman Leng Bingshuang was a genius; promised her to lead the family of the Prime Minister's Mansion to go out of the city to defend against the enemy.

However, the development of things does not always depend on the will of people, and on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they met Wang Qinruo's son Wang Yan.

The dog boy Wang Yan decided that Leng Bingshuang - Sister-in-law Hong was a Liao State spy who lied to her father Wang Qinruo, and Wang Qinruo wanted to find something for Kou Zhun if he was fine; What's more, there is such a big problem of right and wrong as the enemy country's spies, and I feel that the opportunity to overthrow Kou Zhun has come; shook his lips in front of the real Song Zhao Heng.

If Wang Qinruo was a close minister of Emperor Zhenzong, he naturally believed that he was not lying; asked the eunuch to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion on Monday to summon Kou Zhun to civilize the reason, but the dog thief King Qin Ruo took revenge and sent his cronies Praetorian Guards to the Prime Minister's Mansion to capture Kou Zhun.

The fermentation of the situation has made it as big as the sky; Wang Qinruo's family, Ding Fukang, was stabbed to death by Qin Shi Huang with a sword; Zhang Yao, the small leader of the forbidden army, was also smashed in the skull by sister-in-law Hong with a mallet, and Liang Dafa, the head of the forbidden army, was not dead but was thrown half to death by Zheng Shuang.

Although Brigadier General Kou Liang Dafa and 500 guards of the Forbidden Army were all released, he had to take responsibility for this large number of troubles.

A good man is a good man, and he doesn't care about taking responsibility; It's a big deal that this prime minister is not right.

But he cared about the Liao army that was coming to Bianjing, it was an army of two or three hundred thousand led by Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan and Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu; The front Tang reported that several fierce generals had died in their failed duties, and several were captured by the Liao army.

Kou Zhun was annoyed in his heart, but Hong's sister-in-law, who killed Zhang Yao, the leader of the forbidden army, asked Ying to fight.

"You troublesome woman!" Kou Zhun complained in his heart that Sister-in-law Hong didn't give her a good color; Sister-in-law Hong actually brandished a whirlwind double mallet to break the wine gourd on his waist; Qin Shi Huang fanned the flames and demanded that he fulfill his promise.

At the critical moment, Zheng Shuang issued an order to send troops, and asked the leader of the owl team named Diao Shiwu to lead his owl team Sui Hong's sister-in-law to attack; was blocked by Chun Yu Wanyun.

As soon as Wei Yan continued to say what Yu Wanyun said, Kou Zhun seemed to have just arrived at the seriousness of the problem of privately mobilizing troops.

Kou Zhun is a tendon character, and he was criticized before he became the prime minister; The emperor didn't want to see him either; The official position has been restored, and there is always no certainty in the number of reinstatements, but his brightness and talent are unpressed; Even the later Su Shi and Fan Zhongyan may not be able to compare with Kou Zhun's talent.

But Su Shi and Fan Zhongyan are much more famous than Kou Zhun, and the reason is all because of the tendon character of the Guanzhong people.

Whoever interferes with the emperor's reasoning in the court, only Kou Zhun; Kou Zhun and Song Taizong's reasoning people brushed their sleeves away, but Kou Zhun grabbed Taizong's sleeve and didn't let him go, so he wanted to finish the debate with him.

As a result, Taizong also said: "I have Kou Zhun, just like Tang Taizong has Wei Zhengye!" ”

There is no doubt that Kou Zhun is a talent, and a talented wizard; He was admitted to the Jinshi in the fifth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation (980 AD).

Kou Zhun was upright and was gradually reused by the emperor because of his repeated direct advice; Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty was a quasi-official to the governor of the government (deputy prime minister).

After Song Zhenzong ascended the throne, Kou Zhun successively served in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of War; He also served as the third envoy.

In the first year of Jingde (1004 AD), he served as prime minister together with Bi Shi'an, the governor of the government (Tongping Zhangshi).

Kou Zhun is straightforward and bold, and some people like it, and some people are jealous, and Zhang Xun, the privy envoy of the Taizong Dynasty, does not buy Kou Zhun's account; The two have been unhappy at work, and small disputes have gradually evolved into personal grievances.

Kou Zhun doesn't care about the pimples between his colleagues, and his lack of care doesn't mean that Zhang Xun doesn't care; Zhang Xun deliberately went around to find fault with Kou Zhun.

One night, Kou Zhun and his colleague Wen Zhongshu rode home from work when they met a madman on the way; The madman shouted "Long live" twice at Kou Zhun and Wen Zhongshu's horse heads!

"Long live" of the Song Dynasty is not a casual shout, it is a major crime of rebellion against the nine clans; The incident happened suddenly, and Kou Zhun and Wen Zhongshu were stunned and didn't know what to do.

When the two of them reacted, Kou Zhun had been taken down by Wang Bin, the street envoy called by Zhang Xun.

The duties of the street envoy are street security, building bridges and planting trees, which is equivalent to the captain of the urban management in later generations.

Kou Zhun was called "long live" twice by a madman and dealt with it as a rebellion, of course Song Taizong was not stupid; Let Kou Zhun defend his innocence.

Kou Zhun had the talent to argue with his tongue, and his anger was aroused all of a sudden, saying that Zhang Xun and Wang Bin colluded to frame him; Zhang Xun, who was unforgiving, and Kou Zhun, who was foaming at the mouth, scolded each other's father and mother, and Song Taizong was so noisy that his blood pressure increased; Chrysostom belittled Zhang Xun as soon as he opened, and Kou Zhun was also demoted to the prefect of Qingzhou.

Kou Zhun left the imperial court to go to Qingzhou, and Song Taizong was really unaccustomed to the lack of trouble-stirring thorns on weekdays; In the second year, a paper transfer order transferred Kou Zhun back to worship as the governor, and he was promoted to an official position.

As soon as Kou Zhun came back, Song Taizong couldn't wait to consult the question of Lichu, which seemed to be extremely honorable, but in fact it was secretly murderous.

Kou Zhun looks very arrogant, but in this matter, he shows the demeanor of a big politician; He said: "To choose a monarch for the world, you can't consult with concubines and eunuchs; You can't plot with your close ministers, you should choose the one you want to be the prince! ”

Kou Zhun didn't say this, but it also showed his cunning, Song Taizong retreated left and right and asked in a low voice: "Then what do you think of King Xiang?" ”

"Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, since Your Majesty thinks that King Xiang can decide!" Kou Zhun pushed 625 again, but Song Taizong stroked his belly contentedly as if he agreed.

The next day, Song Taizong announced that Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang, was the crown prince of Kaifeng, and Yin changed the title of King Shou to the crown prince; That is, the later Song Zhenzong.

Lu Duan is not confused about major things, and Kou Zhun is more shrewd in major matters; He not only satisfied Song Taizong's wishes, but also curried favor with his successor, Song Zhenzong.

However, Kou Zhun's informality is often braided by people with different political views, and ministers like Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei are stumbling blocks under Kou Zhun's feet.

Ding Wei was a student of Kou Zhun, and Kou Zhun strongly recommended him to be the deputy prime minister; Once Kou Zhun and Ding Wei had dinner together in the government affairs hall, and the vegetable soup stained Kou Zhun's beard; Ding Wei immediately stood up and slowly washed Kou Zhun's beard.

Kou Zhun was very disgusted with this kind of flattery, and sneered: "The governor is an important minister of the state, how can he brush his beard for the chief?" ”

Kou Zhun's straightforwardness and unevasive face planted a grudge against himself, and also pushed Ding Wei to Wang Qinruo's side; Later, it was this Ding Wei who drove him to a dead end.

Kou Zhun acted only to look at the overall situation, regardless of the details, and the Liao soldiers entered Kou's front military intelligence Tang reported frequently to the political hall, and all of them were seized by him.

Kou Zhun's intention in seizing the military intelligence report was very straightforward - he was afraid of causing a riot among the people of the capital.

The first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1004 AD) was a year of continuous floods after all, and there were three earthquakes in a row in Beijing; In February, another earthquake occurred in Hebei, Yi, Li, and Ya prefectures, and in April, the earthquakes in Xingzhou (Xingtai, Hebei) and Yingzhou (Hejian, Hebei) were even more severe.

The three earthquakes in the capital frightened the people, and then spread the news of the Liao soldiers going south; The city of Tokyo will immediately be in a commotion, and the Liao army will be in chaos before it comes in; The kingdom is self-defeating.

After Brigadier General Kou seized the emergency military information, he warned the officials of the political affairs hall: Who dared to leak the news and kill him, and even the deputy prime minister Wang Qinruo did not tell him......
