Kou Zhun is known for being upright, his grasp of political positions has always been very black and white, what is not good is not good, sometimes it can be described as upright to pedantic.

Because the court was relatively calm before, Kou Zhun never had the opportunity to show this trait of him, until Zhao Yuanxi began to form a party.

So far, Zhao Yuanxi has been impeached twice by Kou Zhun. The first time was because his henchmen wanted to win Kou Zhun in, but he was impeached by Kou Zhun instead, which led to the severance of his "arms". The second time was because after the last incident, Zhao Yuanxi hoped that Kou Zhun would shut up, so he sent someone to bribe Kou Zhun with a lot of money to beg Kou Zhun not to say more.

But I didn't expect that Kou Zhun was just a green bean, and he didn't eat oil and salt. Not only did he not accept Zhao Yuanxi's bribe, but sued him.

It's a big shame now, and if you can't pay bribes, you will be reported. Therefore, when the minister of the DPRK and China heard the content of Kou Zhun's impeachment, he almost didn't cause internal injuries because he had to hold back his laughter.

But Zhao Guangyi didn't think so, when Kou Zhun impeached Zhao Yuanxi, Zhao Guangyi was first shocked, and then revealed a love for Kou Zhun. Which emperor doesn't want to have such a minister under him, in order to uphold justice, he doesn't hesitate to offend someone who may be the future emperor.

For this matter, Zhao Guangyi really couldn't deal with it seriously, because the reason why Zhao Yuanxi offered the bribe this time was just to ask Kou Zhun not to express his opinion on the previous matter, which didn't seem to be too big, and the amount of bribes was really not very high. In the end, Zhao Yuanxi could only be banned for one month and fined for one year.

Although Zhao Guangyi did not punish Zhao Yuanxi too much, he gave Kou Zhun a great reward, and directly promoted Kou Zhun to the left counselor and became the official of the imperial history. And there are many material rewards.

Originally, the matter should have ended here, but Zhao Yuanxi didn't think so. Now Zhao Yuanxi's psychology is on the verge of collapse, and any small stimulus may produce huge changes.

In Zhao Yuanxi's view, the fact that he was punished and his enemies were rewarded proved that his father had completely lost his affection for him. Someone once said that pessimists can only get pessimistic results when they look at everything, but Zhao Yuanxi at this time did not see the positive side of himself in this matter at all.

Although he was fined, it was just a ban and a fine, if Zhao Guangyi really lost his love for himself at this time, he could use this as an excuse to directly take the position of Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

But Zhao Yuanxi didn't see this, he only saw Kou Zhun becoming a speech official, and in the future, this Kou Zhun will not use his power to stare at himself to death.

It can be seen from this incident that Zhao Yuanxi doesn't know Kou Zhun at all, but if he knew Kou Zhun, he wouldn't have done anything like sending him to the door to slap his face.

In any case, Zhao Yuanxi was driven to a dead end anyway, or he himself thought that he was forced to a dead end.

……

When this news reached Huating, Zhao Weiji's and his staff directly laughed. If you still feel sarcastic and laugh at the last time Zhao Heng was named Luoyang Mansion Yin.

This incident made this group of people think it is funny.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying, who's going to stop me." Zhao Weiji was already laughing so hard that he was about to fall off the chair at this time.

"You can only ...... Hahaha...... Help yourself...... Hahaha, I'm dying. Jiang Yu laughed and kept beating the coffee table on the side.

"Be serious...... Poof...... What about meetings...... ......"Even Tie Zheng, who is usually known for his seriousness, is about to be unable to hold back."

Not to mention the young Ling Huhuang, who has already begun to roll on the ground at this moment.

Everyone probably laughed for a stick of incense before it gradually subsided.

"This Kou Laoxi, sometimes I really don't know if he is an official or not, people give you bribes, if you don't take it, it's over, that person is also a prince, as for being so faceless?"

"In the past, I always heard you mention how upright and capable Kou Laoxi is, and today I have seen Jiangyu, this person is really unusual."

"Okay, don't talk about Kou Pingzhong anymore, tell me how Zhao Yuanxi is?"

"The current Zhao Yuanxi can only be described in these few words, panicked and discouraged."

"As for it? Isn't his position in Kaifeng Mansion still under his ass? Zhao Weiji really didn't believe it, which made Zhao Yuanxi completely desperate.

"I think it's possible." At this time, Ling Huhuang, who had just gotten up from the ground, spoke. "There have been too many blows to Zhao Yuanxi during this period of time, and the intervals are too frequent, so I think the psychology of the King of Luoyang at this time should be quite fragile, so any taboo, even if it is very small, may become the last straw that crushes the camel."

"Well, Yao Ri seems to have made a lot of sense, so is it time to make the next plan?"

"I'll see it." Jiang Yu was the first to express his approval.

"I think it's time, too." Tie Zheng did not show any objection.

"I'm okay with that." Even Ling Huhuang did not object.

That means everyone feels ready to do it.

"Then let's do it." With Zhao Weiji's order, the next stage of Zhao Yuanxi's revenge plan began.

What's next in the process? In fact, it was to give Zhao Yuanxi a faint hope when he was completely desperate, but this hope was actually a trap, but for the sake of this false hope, at this time, the desperate person would go to that trap desperately. It is like making a man thirsty in the desert for two days and two nights, and giving him a cup of poisoned wine that will not die immediately but will kill him soon after when he is about to die of thirst. At this time, he won't care so much, because if he doesn't drink it, he will die instantly, and if he drinks it, he may still have hope of living.

"Lord Wang, if there is really no one from the DPRK and China who can cooperate, why don't you set your sights on the military?" Just when Zhao Yuanxi was about to despair, one of his staff members made such a suggestion.

Don't think about it, this staff member is naturally Zhao Weiji's person, and the suggestion he made at this moment is to hope that Zhao Yuanxi will reach out to that area that he must not touch, the military.

The military is definitely Zhao Guangyi's bottom line, and it is an area that he will not allow others to get involved in no matter what. Zhao Weiji once tried to get involved in the military, and he was very close to success, but in the end he chose to quit, because as long as the emperor is still Zhao Guangyi, the military is a forbidden land.

Brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi are both from the military, and they know too well the strength of the army. Although the two men were different in their governance after coming to power, they had one thing in common, that is, they were too high in the status of literati and suppressed the power of military generals.

It was after thinking of this that Zhao Weiji decided to push Li Jilong to the forefront, and then withdrew from the military himself.

At this moment, Zhao Weiji wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yuanxi's already panicked heart to give him a cup of poisonous wine, so that he would not die of thirst, but the death would be even more ugly.

Sure enough, after hearing this suggestion, Zhao Yuanxi acted as if he saw a bright light in the dark, and immediately took action.

In fact, at this time, Zhao Yuanxi was not so mad that he didn't care about any consequences, and he stretched out his hand to the military at the moment just to find someone who could support him, not to prepare to collude with the military generals to carry out a coup d'état.

But at this moment, there is a difficult problem in front of him, who to choose?

The military is either gone or relegated to the second line at the moment, and the only one in the new generation who has a good influence is Zhao Weiji, who has left the military for a long time, but because of the results since his debut, and many changes have been made to the army, so even if he leaves the army, he still has a good influence.

There is another person who is now in full swing Li Jilong, whose successive victories in the Dangxiang and Khitan wars have made this rising general already have the prestige of the first military general of the Great Song Dynasty. What's more, he is still the uncle of the country, and his position in the DPRK is also stable.

But it is impossible for these two people to help Zhao Yuanxi, so Zhao Weiji doesn't need to mention it, the biggest enemy, and what Zhao Yuanxi doesn't know is that the reason why he is so miserable is because Zhao Weiji is behind his back.

And what about Li Jilong? It is impossible for Li Jilong to help Zhao Yuanxi. First of all, Li Jilong is now the first military general of the Great Song Dynasty, and his position will not be shaken for the time being. Whether it is Zhao Yuanxi or Zhao Heng after ascending the throne, if they can't find a better candidate to replace him, they will have to rely on him to fight against the Khitan and the party.

And because Li Jilong's sister, that is, Empress Mingde of Zhao Guangyi, is neither Zhao Yuanxi's mother nor Zhao Heng's mother. So in terms of blood, there is no possibility that you must help Zhao Yuanxi. In addition, since the mother of these two princes has long since passed away, as long as Empress Mingde is not deposed, then whoever ascends the throne must respect her as the only queen mother. So whoever ascends the throne will not have an impact on Li Jilong's status.

Since these two big ones can't work, what about the small ones?

The small ones are too small, Yang Yanzhao, Cao Wei and others have no influence in the army at all, and these people basically can't provide any substantial help to Zhao Yuanxi.

Just when Zhao Yuanxi was at a loss for the candidate, a person suddenly appeared on his shortlist, and that person was Mi Xin.

In terms of qualifications, Mi Xin is much older than Li Jilong and Zhao Weiji, one of these two didn't know where he was during the Yongxi Northern Expedition, and the other was overwhelmed by Tian Chongjin. And Mishin was already the commander of the First Army at this time.

Moreover, Yongxi Northern Expedition Li Mixin can also be regarded as a meritorious person, but because Zhao Weiji's credit is too great, his credit has been covered up.

Then because Mi Xin's age gradually increased after Yongxi's Northern Expedition, and Taizong was ready to push his own Li Jilong, Mi Xin gradually stepped aside.

But Mi Xin has enough status in the military regardless of qualifications or merits, and once he gets Mi Xin's help, Zhao Yuanxi feels that he can't turn over, so he begins to try to contact Mi Xin.
