Yang Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, he left the soldiers of the Datong Army and hurried through the second hall of the Daizhou Yamen.

In the hall, there was already a weak young man waiting, the young man was wearing a green robe and an official hat, and when he saw Yang Qi, he hurriedly bent down to salute.

"Xiaguan Kou Zhun, see Yang Zhizhou."

Yang Qi walked forward quickly, helped Kou Zhun up, and said with a smile: "You and I are the same year, so don't stick to these false courtesies." ”

Kou Zhun is also a wonderful person, when he heard Yang Qi's words, he was not polite, straightened up, and asked with a smile: "Xiaguan has been in a hurry for days, and the grain of rice has not entered, why don't we talk while eating?" ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Tell the kitchen to prepare a table of good food."

The chef in the Daizhou Mansion was brought by Yang Qi from the army, and he cooked very quickly.

After a while, a table of good food and wine will be ready.

Yang Qi led Kou Zhun and sat down at the table.

Kou Zhun arched his hand to Yang Qi, and he was not polite, and began to chew vigorously.

Yang Qi poured himself a drink on the side without saying a word, and quietly watched Kou Zhun eat and drink like a starving ghost.

Kou Zhun didn't care about Yang Qi, the official, he not only ate by himself, but also called the two old servants who followed him in and ate together.

Kou Zhun's two old servants are not as free and easy as Kou Zhun.

When they saw Yang Qi, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, with their heads down, not eating or talking.

Kou Zhun ate for a long time, and his belly was round, before he burped and sighed: "I haven't eaten so happily for a long time." I remember the last time I ate meat, it was during the Qionglin feast. ”

Yang Qi put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver." Brother Kou is also considered to be the respect of a county, although he can't get 100,000 snowflakes of silver, it shouldn't be a problem to get him 10,000 taels or 20,000 taels, right? How can you not eat meat. ”

Kou Zhun picked up the wine jug in front of Yang Qi's eyes, didn't even want a wine glass, and blew violently at the spout.

Then he sighed and sighed: "It's all a group of poor ghosts, and they are all poor jingles." Squeezing oil from them, I really can't get that heart. Not only can't he be ruthless, but he also has to take advantage of his own money. If you want to fight a tooth sacrifice, you can only slaughter you big dogs. ”

Yang Qi smiled like a fox stealing chickens: "Eat as much as you want, spend as much as you want, if it's not enough, just ask me." I can raise you for the rest of my life. ”

"Don't!"

Kou Zhun hurriedly waved his hand, "Your Yang Tanhua's bowl of rice is not delicious." At the Qionglin banquet, I drank a glass of wine from you, and I was thrown by you to a small border county to suffer for three years. If you are to raise me for the rest of my life, then I will not be used for you for the rest of my life. ”

Yang Qile smiled and said, "When did you see it?" ”

Kou Zhun held the wine jug and blew again, and sighed: "When I go to the county to take office, I can see it." We are on the same list in the same year, and one by one of you stayed near Bianjing City as officials, and I was assigned to the border alone. It would be strange if no one was doing anything inside.

The place where I am going to work is under the jurisdiction of the state. This official of the imperial court wants to go to work in Daizhou, if it is not for the nod of your Yang family, how can he get in? ”

Kou Zhun blew again, and then stuffed the wine jug to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi pushed away in disgust.

Kou Zhun didn't care, picked up the flask and continued to drink.

Yang Qiwan smiled and asked, "Since you saw it at the time, why didn't you resign and quit?" Su Yijian felt that he had the talent of a prime minister, but the court appointed him as a petty official. So he was not happy and had already hung up the seal and left. ”

When Su Yijian heard Yang Qi's words, he probably jumped to his feet angrily.

When Kou Zhun heard it, he was obviously stunned, and said in surprise: "Brother Su is the best talent, if there is nothing wrong in the future, he will be in the position of prime minister, and he will be caught." He would actually dislike the official and resign? ”

Yang Qi sighed with emotion: "Who said it wasn't. I don't know what he thinks. ”

Kou Zhun sighed in a low voice: "Brother Su is an immortal in wine, and it is understandable that he is indifferent to fame and fortune. The reason why I didn't resign in the first place was because I also wanted to see this place. ”

"Understanding the suffering of the people?"

Kou Zhun looked sideways and said disdainfully: "I just want to see if the Liao people have more heads than the people of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yang Qi laughed in a low voice: "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with the war at the border pass. ”

Kou Zhun drank all the wine in the jug, put down the jug, and said heavily: "Guoheng, you will die if you are belligerent." However, the sixteen states of Yanyun are the barrier of the north of our Great Song Dynasty, and if the sixteen states of Yanyun are not recovered, the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty will be in dire straits all the time.

I just want to see if the Liao people have more heads than the Song people. Why did Taizu and Jinshang, three northern expeditions, fail to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Then you have been in the border for three years, what have you seen?" ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Yang Qi and said without scruples: "The border army is erosive, killing good and risking merit, and the officials force the people to rebel...... With such a border, how can it resist the Liao people? ”

Yang Qi shook his head and smiled, Kou Zhun was still too young now.

Looking at things, I only saw some superficial problems.

The real problem is not visible.

Seeing Yang Qi shaking his head, Kou Zhun subconsciously asked, "Brother Xian doesn't agree with my statement?" ”

Yang Qi smiled: "What you said is just appearances. The real problem lies in the release of military power with a glass of wine and the use of literature to control the military. ”

Kou Zhun's eyes widened, and he was stunned: "Brother Xian is cautious." ”

Yang Qi took the empty wine jug in Kou Zhun's hand, handed it to the servant who was waiting behind him, and said casually: "I'm just talking about things." ”

Kou Zhun's eyes rolled for a moment.

He pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "I would like to listen to the detailed explanation of the virtuous brother." ”

Yang Qi smiled and said: "Let's talk about the release of military power with a glass of wine, do you think this matter is good or bad?" ”

Kou Zhun immediately shouted: "Naturally, it's a good thing, a glass of wine releases military power, which shows that Taizu is not a merciless person." It also shows that several princes are well aware of the righteousness. From then on, the Great Song Dynasty was able to avoid the scourge of civil strife. ”

Yang Qi took the servant's newly changed wine jug and poured himself a drink, "Really? Then you tell me, what good is it for Taizu to transfer the elite of each army, form a forbidden army of 400,000, and hoard it in Bianjing? ”

Kou Zhun muttered: "Gong Wei Jingshi, to prevent people from making trouble in other places." ”

Yang Qi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "In my opinion, it will only raise some wine bags and rice bags." These people were hoarded in Bianjing City, paid a full amount of silver every day, ate big fish and meat, and did not have to worry about war.

It only takes ten years, and after ten years, how much combat power do you think these people will have?

Then, these people were raised. The imperial court continued to draw elites from various armies and continued to raise waste.

The elite of the border army was transferred, and the border army was abolished. The elite was transferred to the forbidden army, and the forbidden army was abolished.

Then tell me, what will the imperial court use to fight the Liao?

They can only be beaten. ”

Kou Zhun's face was cloudy, he was a knowledgeable person. Since he was a child, he has been running around with his father and has seen too many things.

He had to admit in his heart that what Yang Qi said was really reasonable.

Moreover, now the forbidden army seems to be developing in this direction as Yang Qi said.

Since the Northern Expedition to Taiyuan, the forbidden army has never won any battles.

Every time you attack, you can say that you have lost one battle after another.

On the contrary, some of the border troops guarding the frontier have been able to win battles repeatedly.

Kou Zhun agreed with Yang Qi's statement in his heart, but he refused to admit it.

He said in a deep voice: "The imperial court can prevent civil strife by doing this. Spare the people from suffering from civil strife and war. ”

Yang Qi spread his hands and said, "Then what?" There was no elite in the border pass, and the army of the enemy country repeatedly invaded the border, plundered the property of our Great Song Dynasty, and strengthened itself. There are no elites in various places, robbers are everywhere, and there are many mountains......"

In a word, Kou Zhun's face turned red.

Kou Zhun blushed and argued: "Even if this is the case, it is only temporary. As long as the imperial court takes back the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Great Song Dynasty will have a natural barrier. The Liao people don't want to commit crimes, and the imperial court can also free up their hands to teach robbers everywhere. ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Then let's talk about Yiwen Yuwu." The imperial court wanted to use literature to control the military in order to prevent the generals from betraying the imperial court. But now the power of the prison forces in various places has exceeded their authority.

Not only can they supervise the armies, but they have begun to meddle in military affairs.

Do you think that a group of overseers who are not familiar with military affairs meddle in military affairs and interfere in the battles of soldiers.

Someone even directly plundered the command of the commander-in-chief.

All of them are on paper.

Can you win the battle? ”

Kou Zhun roared, "The imperial court can deprive them of the right to intervene in the war. ”

Yang Qi sneered: "Can you be deprived? Civil officials are greedy for power, and they have the right to write directly. Do you think they'll be willing to be just an ornamental overseer? ”

Kou Zhun lowered his head and remained silent.

Yang Qi struck while the iron was hot and said: "There is no elite in the border army, and the forbidden army is gradually eroding. There are also civilian officials who talk about war on paper, and they are obstructing them in it. Do you think, why did the imperial court take back the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Liao people? ”

Kou Zhun lowered his head even lower.

Kou Zhun is also a smart person.

Smart people are easy to associate a lot.

Kou Zhun calculated in his mind, and he found that what Yang Qi said had an eighty percent chance of happening.

After a while, he raised his head and asked Yang Qi, "You told me so much, what do you want to do?" ”

Yang Qi said sincerely: "I want you to stay and help me." Help me get back to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures together. Help the people behind us hold up a piece of the sky. ”

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "The sixteen states of Yanyun that the imperial court can't get back, why should you get it back?" ”

Yang Qizheng said: "You don't need to know now, I just want to ask you, are you willing to fight for the people behind you?" If you want, stay and help me. If you don't want to, I won't force it. I will send a letter to the imperial court, and promise you to return to Beijing to make a Zuo Zhengyan. ”

Kou Zhun was confused.

"I'll have to think about it."

Kou Zhun said in a deep voice.

Yang Qi did not force Kou Zhun to agree immediately, nor did he use the same means to deal with Su Yijian as he used to deal with Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun's personality is completely different from Su Yijian.

What Kou Zhun decided to do, ten cows couldn't pull it back.

What Kou Zhun is unwilling to do, even if someone forces him, he will not do it.

After you have eaten and drunk.

Kou Zhun carried his hands behind his back and staggered out of the second hall of the mansion.

He had a knot in his heart, so he couldn't calm down.

He began to wander around the city of Daizhou.

Along the way, he saw a lot and thought a lot.

In the evening, he returned to the residence that Yang Qi had prepared for him.

Walking to the door, Kou Zhun stretched out his hand and patted the big lion at the door and asked the old servant beside him.

"Renbo, tell me, what is the purpose of being an official?"

Ren Bo hunched his waist and wondered: "Doesn't the master often say that being an official is to be the master of the people?" ”

The young servant beside Kou Zhun shouted, "No, being an official is to glorify the lintel." ”

Ren Bo said coldly: "An official who only thinks about the glorious lintel, even if he is a very human minister, is just adding a layer of identity. Only those who are masters of the people and are upright and upright can go down in history and be remembered by the people. ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and sighed: "A Yangguan Avenue, a path on the edge of a cliff...... A steady progress, a thousand difficulties and dangers......"

Kou Zhun looked in the direction of the mansion and said with a complicated expression: "Yang Yansi, you really have a problem. If I hadn't served here for three years, maybe I wouldn't have hesitated to choose Yangguan Avenue.

However, he served here for three years. I've seen so much and so much.

The changes here are just as you described.

In the long run, if you want to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, there is really no chance of winning. ”

After sighing, Kou Zhun strode into the mansion.

Successfully found his bedroom, Kou Zhun didn't say a word, fell asleep on his head.

At this moment, I slept directly until the next day, and the sun was three poles.

Kou Zhun's two servants had been urging outside the door four or five times.

Kou Zhun got up leisurely, washed up, and changed into a simple green shirt.

He took the two servants and walked to the front of the government with a high spirit.

"You go to Yang Yanhei, it's me Kou Zhun who promised him. Go crazy with him once. ”

The officials in front of the government have already seen Kou Zhun at the door of the government office.

Hearing Kou Zhun's words, the two of them stepped forward with a smile and said, "The villain sees Master Kou." ”

Kou Zhun glared and said, "Take me to see Yang Yansi." ”

The officials arched their hands and said with a smile: "Master Qiyu Kou, Lord Zhizhou has already taken people away this morning. said that he had returned to Bianjing with an edict. Printed letters about your official uniform are placed in the lobby.

Lord Zhizhou said that when he was not there. You are the governor of Daizhou, and all the affairs of Daizhou are decided by you.

The 16 counties under the rule of Daizhou, the governance strategy, and the appointment and dismissal of officials at all levels are all up to you. ”

Kou Zhun was a little stunned when he heard this.

Yang Qi is gone?

Why did he leave?

On what basis did he assume that I would promise him?

Is this going to kill me?

In an instant, Kou Zhun had the urge to turn around and leave.

However, thinking that Yang Qi had entrusted the entire Daizhou to himself, Kou Zhun was a little moved.

Touched by trust.

Moreover, during his tenure, he discovered many shortcomings in the policies of the state, but he has always been miserable and has no power to do it.

Now that he is in power, he can just let go of his hands and feet and do a big job.
