Chapter 1021: Zhao Zhen's Secret
Zhao Run breathed a long sigh of relief when he learned that Kou Ji had woken up, and immediately sent someone to send a message to the Great Song Dynasty again.
Kou Ji didn't know what Zhao Run was doing, and even after he woke up, he didn't see Zhao Run.
Because Zhao Run has been following Zhang Zhibai.
Zhang Zhibai arrived in Qingguo, and after seeing Kou Ji's condition, he stayed in Wenchang Academy, and Zhao Run waited by his side.
If Zhang Zhibai had an accident beside Zhao Run, Zhao Run would be unlucky.
After Kou Ji was treated, he simply ate some things and called Liu Heng and Di Qing to the bed.
After the two of them sat down, Kou Ji stared at the two of them with a smile and said, "What are you two going to do when I'm unconscious?" ”
Di Qing was speechless.
Liu Heng said unceremoniously: "Take people to Bianjing City to help you get justice." ”
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I am in a coma in Qingguo, what does it have to do with the people in Bianjing City." ”
Liu Heng snorted coldly, "You were in Bianjing City before, and you were vomited blood by those people, and this coma must be the root of the disease left at that time." ”
Kou Ji couldn't help but laugh and said, "My coma this time has nothing to do with Bianjing City. Why I fell into a coma, I don't know. The doctor is even more unclear. ”
Liu Heng said stubbornly: "That's the root of the disease." ”
Kou Ji laughed angrily, "Even if it is the root of the disease, even if you mobilize soldiers and horses, can you hit Bianjing City?" You can't even pass that level of the Zhendong Army.
The Zhendong Army has been staying in Xiyang for a long time, and you won't be unclear about what kind of strength they have.
As far as you Xiyang are concerned, it's not enough for people to toss. ”
Liu Heng pouted and said, "That may not be ......."
Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and said: "I know that Bo Xu borrowed the woman from Xiyang and attracted a lot of people from the Zhendong Army, and the people under your command transported goods back and forth between Xiyang and the Great Song Dynasty, and they also bribed the people of the Zhendong Army."
But the Zhendong Army is the Zhendong Army.
That's the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, as soon as the military order, he has all kinds of friendship with you Xiyang, and he can also wield a knife.
Even if you have his countless tricks, you can't blackmail them in a big war.
Because there is an incognito rule in the forbidden army, which is called wartime regardless of the past.
He was guilty of his personal virtues and would not be held accountable during the Great War.
After the war, as long as he has enough military exploits, he can be exempted from the death penalty.
What's more, we are now vassal kings, although we have not separated from the Great Song Dynasty, but there is a layer in the middle after all.
The Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty could use this to formulate a series of rules for exoneration.
By the rule, your handles are no longer handles. ”
Di Qing nodded solemnly and said, "Brother is right, now that the Privy Council is fighting abroad, it is indeed doing this. Once the war starts, it is either beheaded on the spot or exonerated from the crime. ”
Liu Heng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Kou Ji continued: "So, even if you raise an army, you won't be able to pass the level of the Zhendong Army. Maybe while you are cavalry, Chong Shiheng will stab you behind your back, occupy your Xiyang, and dominate Dongyang and Xiyang.
After all, if you fight together, you are rebellious.
How does Chong Shiheng deal with you, he is the hero of the Great Song Dynasty.
He has every chance to ask the Great Song Dynasty for a reward after exterminating you, and include Xiyang in his territory.
According to my understanding of the civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty, eighty percent of them will agree.
Therefore, do not act recklessly in the future. ”
Liu Heng was silent for a while, stared at Kou Ji and said, "Da Song really has no space at all?" We were bullied by Da Song, so we really can't fight back? ”
Di Qing heard Liu Heng's words and looked at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "Da Song didn't bully us. We fought hard with Da Song, and the gains outweighed the losses. The world outside is vast, and there are places for us to toss.
We don't have to be in the middle. ”
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and said, "What if there is such a day?" ”
Kou Ji glared at Liu Heng, "There is no case, there is no such day." ”
Liu Heng said dissatisfiedly: "So our brothers can only let others bully, because we can't defeat the Great Song Forbidden Army that we formed ourselves?" ”
Kou Ji sighed and said, "We have the power to resist, but it's not necessary. If there is a real war, it will be a firearms battle, and more cruel weapons will be put into the battlefield.
When the time comes, many people will die, and Da Song will also be beaten.
We can't destroy what we have created with our own hands. ”
Liu Heng stared at Kou Ji and didn't speak.
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng, "Eighty percent of the forbidden army in Liaodi is our people. Within three generations, nothing will change. Those soldiers of the forbidden army who unloaded their armor and returned to the fields and stayed in Liaodi are also our people.
Equip them with firearms, and they will be qualified soldiers.
Qingguo can now pull out 200,000 soldiers.
If I do, the others won't be watching.
Or return the favor, or get a piece of the pie.
In short, they will be involved. ”
Kou Ji gave Liu Heng some secrets, and the look on Liu Heng's face softened a lot.
He didn't have to be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.
As long as Kou Ji is safe and sound, as long as they are not oppressed by the Great Song Dynasty, he is not willing to be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty.
Now that he heard Kou Ji confess and knew that Kou Ji had the power to oppose the Great Song Dynasty, he would have no problem.
Everything is still up to Koji.
Kou Ji said he would do whatever he wanted.
After Kou Ji finished talking to Liu Heng, he looked at Di Qing, "What about you?" ”
Di Qing said bluntly: "If you really have any accidents, what will you leave behind, what will I do." ”
Kou Ji nodded, did not say more to Di Qing, nor did he tease Di Qing.
Di Qing is an honest man.
You tease him, and he probably takes it seriously.
"Alright, just do what you have to do."
Kou Ji waved his hand and let the two of them leave.
Liu Heng and Di Qing nodded and left Kou Ji's bedroom.
After Liu Heng and Di Qing left, Kou Ji recuperated in the bedroom.
I've been asleep for a long time, and I really need to recuperate.
……
After Zhao Zhen rushed all the way to Youzhou City, he received the news that Kou Ji had woken up.
After Zhao Zhen learned the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After repeatedly confirming the matter with the messenger, he sent two imperial doctors to Gyeongkook for a follow-up.
He lived in Youzhou City.
After the imperial doctor arrived in Qingguo, Zhao Run learned that his father had arrived in Youzhou City, and hurriedly took Kou Hui to Youzhou City to fulfill his filial piety.
When the imperial doctor arrived in Qingguo, in fact, Kou Ji had already raised almost everything.
But the imperial doctor still followed Zhao Zhen's imperial order and gave Kou Ji some treatment.
One of the imperial doctors left Qingguo after the diagnosis and treatment, and the other left in Qingguo, saying that he wanted to teach medical skills in Qingguo and carry forward his medical skills.
In order to increase the credibility of this statement, he also claimed that there were too many cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the Great Song Dynasty, and there were too many struggles, and he was unwilling to fight, and just wanted to study medicine quietly.
Kou Ji pretended to believe it, and gave him a single subject at Wenchang Academy.
After Kou Ji recovered from his illness, he chose a large piece of fertile land outside Qingdu, waved his hand, and encircled it as a farm very unreasonably.
Then he and Liu Heng, together with a group of lonely widows and old soldiers who had been discharged from the army, planted crops in the farm.
Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers, etc., are sown in batches according to their preferred season.
In order to plant things as soon as possible and screen some of the things he didn't know as soon as possible, Kou Ji also made some greenhouses.
Anyway, the little skill in the greenhouse is not difficult for him.
After everything was cleaned up, Kou Ji began to sow seeds and raise seedlings.
A toss is months.
Zhao Zhen stayed in Youzhou City for several months.
But the civil and military ministers of Bianjing City were in a hurry, and they had to take a car to Youzhou City to accompany Zhao Zhen to work.
A few months later, Kou Ji stood in the greenhouse, smiling brightly at the red peppers, the cucumbers with thorny tops, the potato and sweet potato branches and leaves crawling all over the ground, and all kinds of other plants.
It wasn't until his gaze fell on the green tobacco leaves that Kou Ji's gaze became much deeper.
Kou Ji didn't pick those tobacco leaves and dry them to make shredded tobacco.
He had no intention of making money from it, nor did he intend to release it to harm the world.
He was going to go back and let the imperial doctor of Wenchang Academy see if this thing had medicinal value.
Kou Ji and Liu Heng were lying side by side in the rocking chairs, each with a low table next to them, and plates and teapots were placed on the low table.
The plates were filled with the harvest they had worked hard for months, and the teapots were filled with the blue tea soup.
Both of them were holding pu fans, enough old farmers, while gently inciting, while looking at the growing crops with joy, their hearts were full of emotion.
Liu Heng picked up the teapot, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "This kind of day is not bad......
Koji nodded in agreement.
Liu Heng smiled and asked: "We have pursued half a life and struggled for half a life, is it for this kind of life?" ”
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "Our purpose is to make this kind of life available to more people. ”
Liu Heng smiled indifferently: "I don't look like you, don't be that kind of saint." ”
Kou Ji pointed to the sweet potatoes and potato branches and leaves in the field, "The yield of that thing is not low, and it can be regarded as auspicious when it is released." ”
Liu Heng still didn't care, "What about the high yield, we don't need to raise too many people now." The boy still dislikes those widows who don't die fast enough.
If he wasn't afraid of the thunder in the sky, he would probably set up an incense table and pray for God to bring some disaster to Xiyang. ”
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng in amazement, "What's wrong with this kid?" This is the way of the devil! How do you educate your children? ”
Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji with disdain, "Didn't you teach it?" ”
Kou Ji asked dissatisfiedly, "Can I teach this kind of child?" ”
Liu Heng pointed outside the greenhouse, "Your son, after arriving in Qingguo, the crime of squeezing death is almost more than six figures." Your son-in-law, now robbing the daughters of those guilty families in Liaoyang Mansion and stuffing them into the hands of the Song people, he is cutting off the root of those crimes.
Your two apprentices are even more ruthless.
After arriving at the two Chinese schools in Liaodi, he began to fool people around.
deceived the children of other people's crimes into their own doors, and they also killed people.
The most terrifying thing is that after those sins were pitted to death, they are still grateful to your two apprentices.
Obviously they are two killers, but they live like a saint. ”
Kou Ji's face sank, "Really? Is it the student I am educating about? How can I possibly educate such a student? I have been teaching them to study the writings of the saints, to learn loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness.
They've been brilliantly educated by me, huh?
They must have learned badly from others.
When I returned, I expelled them from the sect.
Dare to learn someone else's stuff without my permission, damn it. ”
Liu Heng rolled his eyes speechlessly.
There is a way that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked.
If you don't teach them badly, it's hard for others to teach them badly behind your back.
Because few people dare to offend you.
Just as Kou Ji and Liu Heng were talking to each other, the two villains lifted the thick curtain of the greenhouse and walked in.
One is on his back, like an uncle.
The other carried a hoe and followed behind him, bending over.
After the two of them entered, they glanced at Kou Ji and Liu Heng, and went into the field in the greenhouse by themselves.
After a brutal scourge in the field, the guy who looked like an uncle still had his hands behind his back, and the guy who was bent over had dropped his hoe and walked behind with a vegetable basket on his back.
The uncle-like guy walked up to Liu Heng and snorted.
Liu Heng turned over and ignored him.
The uncle-like guy stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Heng's ear, and lifted Liu Heng up.
Liu Hengqi's eyes were red.
People don't care at all.
Domineeringly, he went to Liu Heng's reclining chair, pushed away Liu Heng's teapot in disgust, picked up a cleaned cucumber from the plate, and chewed it.
A cucumber was quickly eaten.
"The ones I don't know, they all came from the sea?"
The uncle-like guy asked.
Koji let out an 'um'.
The uncle-like guy continued to ask, "How many good things are there?" ”
Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "At present, all the things that are planted are good, and there are many that have not been planted, it is difficult to distinguish, and there are many Qingguo that cannot be planted." ”
The uncle-like guy suddenly said with a look of interest: "Tell me carefully......"
Koji didn't say anything, just spread his hands.
The uncle-like guy pouted, went to the recliner without any image, and said very boldly: "Poor, no money......"
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously said, "You can really cause trouble......
The uncle-like guy said helplessly: "It's not that I can cause trouble, it's that the people below are too capable of causing disaster." ”
Kou Ji said angrily: "Tens of thousands, so soon the disaster will be over?" ”
The uncle-like guy shook his head, "That's not the case...... But if you can't make ends meet, it won't be a disaster in a few years. ”
Kou Ji pouted and said, "Then I can only say that you deserve it." ”
The uncle-like guy not only didn't get angry, but also nodded seriously: "I deserve it......"
Kou Ji glared at him, and said angrily: "You are not your uncle in the bustling Bianjing City, why did you come to my poor country?" ”
The uncle-like guy said shamelessly: "I miss you......"
Kou Ji said speechlessly: "You are really shameless. You can say such a sensual thing. ”
The uncle-like guy said indifferently: "I don't have a habit of breaking sleeves, and the words I say come from the bottom of my heart, and they are purely affectionate." It's that you're thinking too much. ”
Kou Ji snorted, "I don't want you, and you're not suitable to appear in my Qingguo." You'd better get out of here. ”
The uncle-like guy sighed and said, "Fourth brother is still complaining about me? ”
Kou Ji shook his head and said frankly: "I said, I have no grudge against you. I just blame the people under you. If you slaughter them all, then my resentment will be gone. ”
The uncle-like guy said happily: "Okay, who do you say will be slaughtered, make a list, I will slaughter them one by one when I go back, and after slaughtering, wash their heads, clean them up, and send them to you." ”
Kou Ji's face was black, "Your skin has thickened a lot......"
The uncle-like guy sighed, "Even in front of you, you can still speak unscrupulously." In front of other people, whatever I say, they are afraid. ”
Speaking of which, his identity is naturally self-evident.
He is Zhao Zhen.
Jinyi walked at night, quietly touched Qingguo, and quietly appeared in front of Kou Ji.
This was his first night walk in brocade.
Most likely and the only time.
When he came to Qingguo, what happened, Kou Ji knew it in his heart.
It's nothing more than wanting to see with your own eyes whether Kou Ji is in trouble.
An emperor through the ages, he threw away his own country and his subjects, and took great risks to see Kou Ji, and Kou Ji was not easy to drive people away.
Kou Ji secretly sighed and said, "Are you really going to do that?" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Why not? Isn't it you? Do you think there's something wrong with that? ”
Kou Ji said bluntly: "Are you willing? ”
Zhao Zhen said with a bright smile: "What is there to be reluctant to?" I, the emperor, have an easy time, and I won't feel distressed if I let it out. ”
Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "That is the number one authority in the world, there are countless people who want to go up throughout the ages, and there are almost no people who want to come down willingly." ”
Zhao Zhen said heroically: "Why can't I be the first? If you and Kou Gong leave freely, I can also leave freely. Retire with a job! Retire with a job! Kou Gong retired and became a sage in one fell swoop.
If I retire successfully, who will be the emperor through the ages? ”
Kou Ji pursed his lips, "The Emperor of the Ages......"
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "If I set a precedent for my Great Song Dynasty, if everyone in the future generations follows suit, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to live for many more years and leave a lot of blood." ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and sighed: "Actually, I, the emperor, am quite confused. became the crown prince in a daze, and ascended to the throne smoothly.
In a daze, a huge territory was laid, and a prosperous era was created in a daze.
Although there were many ups and downs after I ascended the throne, I didn't really do anything.
I, the first emperor of the ages, came too easily, and it was so easy that people couldn't believe it. ”
Kou Ji tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't speak.
Zhao Zhen continued to smile: "I know, in fact, everything is because of you. What I have done is to use the right people and believe the right people.
But with this alone, I am afraid it is difficult to become an emperor through the ages.
If future generations call me the first emperor of the ages, I will feel panicked.
So I have to do something that other emperors can't do, and implement my name as an emperor through the ages. ”
Kou Ji was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "In terms of tolerance, heart, and courage, no emperor can compare to you." If you dare to use the ministers, you dare to trust the ministers, and if you dare to put a minister who has the power to overthrow your throne in an important position, you are better than many emperors.
If you dare to divide the princes and kings, you can also allow the princes and kings to expand their territory outside, and you are better than many emperors.
You have the heart of Zen, and it is still at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the willing Zen gives up the throne, which is incomparable even to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Compared with others, I can't compare to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, if I want to compete with them, I can only make a fuss on the throne."
I have a lot on my mind right now, and I need you to help me look at it. ”
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen, a little flustered.
Zhao Zhen was also not taboo about the presence of Liu Heng and Chen Lin, and said decisively: "I think the term of office you set for the affairs of the Third Academy can be used as a reference.
I think maybe the throne can also be set for a time.
What do you think of twenty years?
He ascended the throne around thirty, reigned for twenty years, and gave way to the throne at fifty.
In this way, the emperor sitting in that position has always been an emperor who maintains ambitions, and he is also an emperor who has a certain foundation for governing the country.
Even if there are one or two faint kings, it will only be twenty years.
Whether it is a hundred officials or ordinary people, it is good to survive 20 years. ”
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen in disbelief, his heart full of turbulent waves.
He originally thought that Zhao Zhen just wanted to give up the throne, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to want to add a term to the throne.
You want to be the first emperor of the ages.
You want to be holy.
Zhao Zhen didn't care about Kou Ji's expression, he continued: "Not only that, but I am also preparing to formulate the conditions for the throne. However, any prince who wants to participate in the competition for the throne, after reaching the age of eighteen, must go out to serve as a magistrate.
Within 12 years, whoever can make political achievements and who can sit in the position of prefect can become emperor.
If there are several people competing with each other, then it will be compared with the political achievements, and whoever has the best political achievements will ascend the throne. ”
Kou Ji groaned, "The young ones will suffer a lot......"
Zhao Zhen said with a nonchalant face: "Who let him come out late?" The elderly already have an advantage, according to the previous rules, the eldest son who came out first will be promoted as the crown prince by the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials.
The crown prince is gone, and people still don't have an advantage? ”
Kou Ji opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Zhen continued to laugh and said: "Also, the heir is also a part of the assessment. If you have no children and your political achievements are outstanding, you can't ascend the throne. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji with a smile and said, "Fourth brother, how is it?" ”
Koji fell silent.
He had to admit that the imperial succession system proposed by Zhao Zhen was the most appropriate imperial succession system in the feudal dynasty.
The princes are fighting, and the elders have a certain advantage, which is a disadvantage, and it is easy to cause harem fights.
However, the rules formulated by Zhao Zhen later greatly suppressed the battle in the harem, that is, no heirs could inherit the throne.
The women in the harem pinched and pinched, and it was easy to attack each other's children, which eventually led to the emperor having no heirs.
But Zhao Zhen set his age at about thirty.
According to the degree of early marriage in the Great Song Dynasty, there are several children in their thirties.
In addition, the prince has to go out to practice, and before the age of thirty, he has been in training for twelve years.
Those women want to fight, and they fight outside.
But Zhao Zhen also stipulated that no heirs could inherit the throne, so even if they fought with each other, they didn't dare to be too ruthless, because before their husbands did not inherit the throne, the fiercer they fought, the more unfavorable their husbands were.
The battles in the harem will be drastically reduced, and the royal heirs will be protected from persecution when they are born.
Zhao Zhen really thought about it very well.
But there are still many problems in Koji's eyes.
