[Kou Zhun was born in a scholarly family, his father Kou Xiang was very knowledgeable, and he was a jinshi in the Jin Dynasty five generations later, and he was a minor official such as a secretary in a noble mansion.

But Kou Zhun died soon after his father was born, so the family lived a difficult life with his mother since he was a child.

However, Kou's mother, who was deeply influenced by a scholarly family, attached great importance to Kou Zhun's learning.

When he was a teenager, Kou Zhun was smart and studious, and learned a lot of knowledge and truth from books, especially the three biographies of "Spring and Autumn", which he read well and understood very thoroughly, which laid a preliminary knowledge foundation for him to enter politics in the future. 】

"He also loves to read Spring and Autumn?" Guan Yu saw that Kou Zhun also loved to read Spring and Autumn, and suddenly had a feeling of finding a confidant, and at the end, he also sighed: "People who love to read Spring and Autumn will not be bad!" ”

yes, not only are they not too bad, but they are also a little narcissistic.

[In the fifth year of Taizong Taiping's rejuvenation of the country (980 AD), Kou Zhun was only 19 years old and was appointed as a judge of Dali, and the following year he was sent to Renzhi County, Badong, Guizhou. After that, he was successively promoted to the rank of Judge of Salt and Iron, Shangshu Yu Langzhong, and Privy Council. 】

[Kou Zhun is a prosperous official, but this is not because he is sycophant and attached to the powerful, on the contrary, he is upright and honest and not afraid of power.

Kou Zhun's rise to prominence is entirely based on his own ability, loyalty and resourcefulness, in the words of Song Taizong, it is "clear and sensitive". 】

[But in the second year of Duangong (989), Kou Zhun once played in the palace, which was extremely profitable.

Because of his loyalty, Taizong couldn't listen to it, and left the dragon seat angrily and turned back to the inner palace.

Kou Zhun grabbed the corner of Taizong's clothes and persuaded him to sit down again, and after listening to him finish speaking, Song Taizong patiently sat down again.

Afterwards, Song Taizong praised Kou Zhun very much and said happily: "I got Kou Zhun; Like Tang Taizong got Wei Zheng. ”

The original text of "The Biography of Kou Zhun" records: "The edict will be issued to hundreds of officials, and the quasi-extreme Chen is at stake, and the emperor's benefits are important." He was promoted to the secretary of the Yu Department, the Privy Council, and the judge of the Ministry of Dongquan. In the hall, the words did not agree, the emperor became angry, and he led the emperor's clothes to the emperor's clothes, so that the emperor could sit back and retreat. The reason is Jiazhi, saying: "I have Kou Zhun, and Emperor Yuwen has Wei Zhengye." ”

Kou Zhunneng was praised as Wei Zheng, which shows that he occupies an extremely important position in the hearts of Song Taisong. 】

Li Shimin's heart moved, and he said secretly: "In this way, my Wei Zheng will definitely be on the list?" ”

Zhao Ji nodded and agreed: "Elder Kou does have this ability. ”

Zhao Gou said with some hatred: "If I have Kou Lao by my side, maybe I will be able to rule the Jin State in history." ”

[Kou Zhun was famous for his uprightness and wisdom among the ministers of the Taizong Dynasty.

In the early years of Chunhua, the Northern Song Dynasty court dealt with two bribery cases, Wang Huai with serious circumstances, with tens of millions of stolen money, was only removed from his post and reinstated, and soon reinstated his original position; And Zuji, who was less serious, was sentenced to death.

Kou Zhun knew that this was a ghost caused by Wang Huai's elder brother Wang Wei, so he was angry in his heart.

In the spring of the second year of Chunhua (991), there was a great drought, and Song Taizong summoned his close ministers to inquire about the gains and losses of the current government.

Most of the ministers believed that this was due to the number of days, and Kou Jian borrowed the very popular theory of heaven and man induction, and pointed out that the drought was a warning from heaven to the injustice of the imperial court's punishment.

Song Taizong was very angry when he heard this, but he felt that Kou Zhun's words must be grounded, so he summoned Kou Zhun to ask why the punishment of Kou Zhun was unfair?

Kou Zhun replied, "Please call the ministers of the two prefectures, and I will explain in person." ”

When Wang Wei and the others went to the palace, Kou Zhun told Wang Huai and Zu Ji about the two cases, and then glanced at Wang Wei and asked, "Isn't this an unfair punishment?" ”

Song Taizong immediately questioned Wang Wei, who was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and he repeatedly sued for sin.

From then on, Kou Zhun was even more appreciated by Taizong, and was appointed as the doctor of the Left Counsel, and the deputy privy envoy was changed to Tongzhi Privy Council, and began to directly participate in the military affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

[Kou Zhun skillfully used another thing to achieve the goal of punishing evil and promoting good, and by the way, he was appreciated by the emperor, which is enough to show that he has a jealous and hateful character, and at the same time, he also has a very clever way of acting.

Some people may think that Kou Zhun is too cunning and not straightforward enough, but it is refreshing to be hard, but it is refreshing to be hard, and sometimes this kind of weightless means in the crematorium afterwards is indeed much more cost-effective than hard-hitting. 】

Someone agreed: "This is the way of a wise man, the kind of person who only knows how to bury his head in the top and be reckless, not only will he not be able to do things, but he will most likely suffer all kinds of hardships because he annoys his superiors." ”

However, some people don't like this kind of twisting and turning approach, and complained: "I hate these literati's crooked eyes, and they directly catch and confess soon after being beaten?" I have to use disasters to frame others, it's not fair enough! ”

People have different ways of thinking, we won't comment here, and then look at the following video content,

[Later, Kou Zhun had a serious difference of opinion with the prefect Zhang Xun in the Privy Council. Kou Zhun was framed by Zhang Xun and was demoted to Qingzhou, but at this time Song Taizong was inseparable from Kou Zhun, and after Kou Zhun went to Qingzhou, Taizong was depressed, and often asked about Kou Zhun's situation in Qingzhou.

So in the second year, Kou Zhun was recalled to Beijing by Taizong and worshiped as the governor of the government, until the first year (995 AD) and added to the matter.

At that time, Song Taizong had been in power for a long time and had never established a crown prince, and this matter had always been a headache for Taizong.

Because after the death of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, his son Dezhao failed to succeed to the throne, and Taizong Zhao Guangyi practiced Zuo as the emperor's younger brother.

And the death of Taizu also has the mystery of "candle shadow axe", that is to say, Taizong is suspected of killing his brother and seizing the throne, so Taizong is faced with two choices: to establish his own son, or to establish Taizu's son.

At that time, the general ministers were secretive about the establishment of the prince, and the minister Feng Zheng once asked for the establishment of the crown prince, but was demoted to Lingnan by Taizong, and since then few people in the government and the opposition have dared to discuss this matter again.

Kou Zhun had just returned from Qingzhou and met Taizong, who was suffering from foot disease at the time, so after Kou Zhun saw the injury, he asked affectionately: "Why did you come back to Beijing now?" ”】

"Vomit"

[Taizong immediately asked Kou Zhun about the establishment of the crown prince, Kou Zhun had already guessed Taizong's purpose for summoning him this time, and he was also confident.

However, Kou Zhun did not answer Taizong's question immediately, but told Taizong: To choose a monarch for the world, you can't consult with the concubines, Zhongguan (eunuchs), and you can't plot with your close ministers, and you should choose the one who is expected to be the crown prince.

Taizong appreciated Kou Zhun's answer very much, and soon he announced that Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang, was Kaifeng Yin, changed the title of King Shou, and made him the crown prince. 】

[Taizong and the crown prince came back from visiting the ancestral temple, and the people in the capital crowded on both sides of the road and were beaming, vying to see the crown prince.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted "Young Son of Heaven", Taizong was very unhappy after hearing it, and asked Kou Zhun: "Where will the prince put me when the hearts of the people are turned to him?" ”

Kou Zhun congratulated again and again and said: "Your Majesty's choice of the crown prince has won the hearts of the people, which is a blessing for the country. ”

Taizong suddenly realized, rewarded Kou Zhun for drinking, and got drunk. 】

After the people in various time and space saw it, they couldn't help but talk about it,

"This Kou Zhun is really leaking!"

"Being an upright official, being a man and being tactful, who doesn't like such an official?"

"If there are a few more Kou Laos, why is my Great Song Dynasty like this?"
