Chapter 016: Kou Zhun's Life
The next day, Yang Kairui and his wife, eight granddaughters, one grandson and nine couples, gathered in the conference hall to listen to the four people explain the case, Yang Jiulang was a famous barrister in his previous life, and he knew Kou Zhun's life and death very well, unless the chronology of some things was not clear, of course, it was also possible that the records in the history books were wrong, then, Kou Zhun may die in Leizhou this time.
Youjiu Lang doesn't dare to change history, this is a taboo for all people who travel through, and he can only find a way to protect his family in front of him, so as not to be wiped out, according to the memories of his previous life, Kou Zhun's historical record is like this:
The life of this person is still very powerful, and there are really many stories in history, not to mention others, just the secret defense of the back boots that has been passed down through the ages, and the Tianbo Mansion has been pulled to the royal family again, and of course, the people who can be prime ministers will not be simple, but, people have to die, but this Kou Zhun died very tragically in the end, and the following is a small part of the various records of his life,
Kou Zhun became a magistrate at the age of 19, and was later promoted to the governor of the same court (second grade), but he was driven out of the capital for offending Song Taizong, and because Song Taizong could not do without him, he was recalled again. and let Kou Zhun be the prime minister, and then he was demoted again to Shaanzhou, and then recalled to Beijing, and soon he was dismissed as prime minister and expelled from the capital. In the end, at an advanced age, he was exiled to Leizhou to take up a post, where the environment was harsh and the living conditions were poor, Kou Zhun became depressed and became ill, and died a year later.
The worst thing is that after his death, because the silver given by the imperial court was too small, the coffin was on the way back to his hometown, because he did not have enough money, so he could only be buried in Luoyang Gong County, and only moved back to his hometown ten years after his death.
Kou Zhun is a great hero of the Northern Song Dynasty, his family background is also very prominent, because the ancestor made great contributions in the Western Zhou Dynasty when King Wu, gave the surname Kou, and later, the nineteen-year-old Kou Zhun was admitted to the Jinshi, to Guizhou Badong Renzhi County, because of the good job, promoted to the salt and iron judge.
Kou Zhun dared to boldly admonish Song Taizong, once Song Taizong was very angry after hearing it, and wanted to leave, but Kou Zhun stepped forward and grabbed Song Taizong, persuaded him to sit down, and listened to him finish speaking. Afterwards, Kou Zhun was appreciated by Song Taizong, and Taizong said: "Kou Zhun is like Tang Taizong getting Wei Zheng", so Kou Zhun is famous for his uprightness.
The imperial court had dealt with two bribery cases, Wang Huai accepted bribes of 10 million yuan, was fined with a cane and was dismissed, but was reinstated soon after. And Zu Ji was sentenced to death because the bribery was not serious. Kou Zhun knew that Wang Huai had gone through the back door, and Wang Huai's brother was Wang Wei, who was the governor of the political affairs, and he was angry in his heart.
In the Great Song Dynasty, Song Taizong convened his ministers to discuss the matter, but Kou Zhun said: "The drought is caused by the unjust punishment", Song Taizong was very angry and got up to go back to the palace.
Song Taizong finally lost his anger, so he summoned Kou Zhun to inquire about the situation, and Kou Zhun said, "Zuji and Wang Huai both took bribes and violated the law, but the punishment was different, which is not fair." From then on, Taizong appreciated Kou Zhun more and more, and promoted him to the deputy privy envoy, and later changed to the governor of the court (Zheng Erpin), and Kou Zhun began to participate in the military affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Once Kou Zhun and Wen Zhongshu went out to play, a madman chased his horse on the road and shouted long live, Kou Zhun's nemesis Zhang Xun knew about it, and informed Song Taizong, Taizong knew that he was very angry again, Zhang Xun added fuel and vinegar, and finally Kou Zhun was demoted again and rushed to Qingzhou to serve as the prefect. After Kou Zhun left, Song Taizong missed him very much, so the next year, he recalled him back to Beijing and appointed him as the governor of the government (second grade).
After the death of Song Taizong and the accession to the throne of Song Zhenzong, the Liao army went south twice to invade the Northern Song Dynasty. The border was in an emergency, saying that the Liao army was about to invade on a large scale again, at this time Song Zhenzong listened to the opinion of Bi Shi'an, the governor of the political affairs, and appointed Kou Zhun as the prime minister.
In September of the same year, the Liao army led an army of 200,000 to attack south, at which time the traitor Wang Qinruo proposed to move the capital and suggested fleeing. Kou Zhun said that the person who proposed to move the capital could be killed, so Wang Qinruo hated him to the core.
Later, Kou Zhun suggested that Zhenzong should be allowed to drive the expedition in person, and Zhenzong was timid. In October, the Liao soldiers captured Qizhou and continued to the south, and the cowardly Song Zhenzong was finally willing to drive the personal expedition under the persuasion of Kou Zhun, but Song Zhenzong repeatedly retreated on the way to the pro-expedition, but Kou Zhun insisted on letting Zhenzong personally conquer.
Song Zhenzong originally had no determination to resist the enemy, so he negotiated with the Liao army, and the Liao army asked the Song side to return the "Guannan Land" occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, but the Song side did not agree, and was willing to give the Liao army some economic compensation, and the negotiations were carried out in the confrontation between the two armies, and finally an agreement was reached according to the conditions of the Song side. So Song Zhenzong sent Cao Yu to negotiate the amount of silver silk with the Liao army, Song Zhenzong said to Cao Yu: "As a last resort, one million is fine", and Kou Zhun said to Cao Yu privately, "If the silver silk exceeds 300,000, don't come back." As a result, the negotiations ended, and the Song Dynasty gave 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year, which was the famous "Yuanyuan Alliance" in history.
After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Liao State no longer launched a war, and Kou Zhun was as kind to the Northern Song Dynasty, but the meritorious man did not end well.
After Song Zhenzong returned to the palace with his own expedition, Wang Qinruo began to plot to bring down Kou Zhun, he said: "The Alliance of the Yuanyuan is actually the alliance under the city, how can Your Majesty think that Kou Zhun is meritorious, don't you think it's a shame?" When Zhenzong heard this, he began to feel uncomfortable again, so he began to be cold to Kou Zhun.
Under the repeated attacks of the traitor Wang Qinruo, Kou Zhun was demoted again and relegated to Shaanzhou to be the governor.
Song Zhenzong was bedridden in his later years, and obeyed Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei, who were good at sycophants, but Ding Wei wanted to win over Kou Ling for his own use, so he asked Zhenzong to return to the court as a minister, and Kou Zhun's disciples saw through Ding Wei's conspiracy and persuaded him not to go, but he did not listen to enter Beijing again.
After entering Beijing, Ding Wei began to woo Kou Zhun as a fellow party, and at a banquet, Ding Wei wiped his beard with some vegetable soup for him, and was reprimanded by Kou Zhun on the spot, so Ding Wei became angry and swore revenge.
After Song Zhenzong fell ill, Empress Liu was in charge of the affairs of the court, and Empress Liu asked Ding Wei about everything. So Kou Zhun, Wang Dan, and Xiang Min played Zhenzong, opposed Empress Liu's interference in politics, Ding Wei dictatorship, asked the prince to supervise the country, and assisted the prince with Yang Yi, which was approved by Zhenzong.
Empress Liu's mother's family broke the law, Song Zhenzong issued an edict to pardon, Kou Zhun resolutely objected, thinking that it must be dealt with in accordance with the law, so Kou Zhun and Empress Liu made a feud.
Kou Zhun was leaked to play the crown prince's imprisonment, and Empress Liu immediately demoted Kou Zhun to the crown prince. The eunuch Zhou Huaizheng has always been at odds with Ding Wei, so he contacted the same party to kill Ding Wei, prepared to revert to Kou Zhun and let the crown prince ascend the throne, but was betrayed by the villain. Ding Wei disguised himself and went to Cao to take advantage of it, and Cao used to lead troops to capture Zhou Huaizheng, and then framed Kou Zhun for attempting rebellion, and he was once again expelled from the capital.
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty: The Biography of Kou Zhun",
Kou Zhun was demoted, it is said that Zhenzong did not know because he was sick in bed, and asked the people around him where Kou Zhun was, because he was afraid of Ding Wei, no one dared to tell the truth, everyone was afraid of Ding Wei, and even on the day Kou Zhun left Beijing, no one went to see him off. After Kou Zhun was demoted, Ding Wei became the prime minister as he wished, and in order to take revenge on Kou Zhun, he demoted him again and again.
In 1041 AD, that is, the nineteenth year of Renzong, in order to try the case of Qin Xianglian, Renzong once again enabled Kou Zhun as the prime minister, but this year, which has just begun, the Empress Dowager Liu made trouble again, or in the name of rebellion, arrested Kou Zhun's whole family, and wanted to destroy his whole family, according to historical records, Guanzhun finally died in Leizhou, and now no one in the court can excuse him, in desperation, the four had to turn to Yangjiazhai for help.
The above are all political history, wild history, opera, legends and other records of Kou Zhun, inconsistencies, inconsistencies, inconsistencies, and those who do not understand the writing,,, but Yang Jiulang thought about it, "In any case, although Kou Zhun is a little loyal, but after all, he must also think about the common people in the world, and the thinking of the ancients is ,,,", Yang Jiulang thought to himself, "Hey, even if you are in this era, forget it, then stretch out your hand and make a bang!"
