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.
