"Two Zaifu, jealous for a woman, do you believe it?"

Kou Zhun asked with a look of embarrassment.

Kou Ji shook his head decisively.

The person who can sit on the phase, that is a stupid person?

For example, Zhang Qixian and Xiang Minzhong, two people who left their names in history books, are even more not.

As long as you are not stupid, it is absolutely impossible to bury your future because of a woman.

Therefore, it is impossible for the two of them to be jealous for a woman.

Kou Zhun sighed and said faintly: "You don't believe it, but the people believe it." ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said, "The people have been deceived by traitors. ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly and said, "Back then, Xue Juzheng died, leaving a huge family business to his son, Xue Juzheng's son Xue Weiji, who was seriously ill and had no heirs, and his life was short. So many people are worried about the family business of Xue Mansion.

Xue Juzheng's wife is just a soft and weak woman, and it is difficult to keep the family business under the watchful eye of wolves.

So she thought of a way to find Xiang Gong, and was ready to use her family business to entrust her with Xiang Gong and let Xiang Gong irradiate him.

Xiang Gong agreed to her.

Unexpectedly, that woman was too stupid, and after asking Xiang Gong, she actually found Zhang Qixian again.

After Xue Weiji's death, Xiang Gong and Zhang Qixian inevitably collided.

The status of the two in the court is comparable, and when they suddenly collided, they naturally refused to back down.

Whoever shrinks will not be able to raise his head in the court in the future.

So, the two inevitably fought.

Then it was rumored that it was a struggle to marry a widow, and the rumor was boiling and the whole country knew about it.

In the end, the first emperor had to depose the two of them before the matter was settled.

Although the matter has subsided, Xiang Gong has since taken on the reputation of being a greedy and lustful wife who is greedy for money and lustful. ”

After listening to Kou Zhun's story, Kou Ji frowned slightly and said, "Nothing to do, Xue Weiji's widow, is it really stupid, or is it deliberate?" ”

Kou Zhun shook his head, "Who knows? The people only care about watching the two prime ministers fight, who cares about a woman who has lost her support? The people were looking forward to seeing the two of them fighting each other, so how could they delve into it, was there a misunderstanding in it? ”

Kou Ji groaned: "The imperial court didn't investigate this matter? ”

Kou Zhun smiled bitterly: "The two Zaifu are fighting, what if this matter is clarified?" ”

When the clay falls into the crotch, people will only laugh at you for being pulled in the crotch with malice, and even if they know it's the crotch, they will treat it as and laugh at you.

Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and said, "Grandfather wants to use my grandfather-in-law's story to remind me to be on guard, lest someone attack me?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded slowly, "You are the age of a weak crown, and you are ranked as the prince of the country, and you are too popular." There are a lot of people staring at you, and there are many more people thinking about you. Therefore, we must be careful everywhere in dealing with others, so as not to plant a big heel in the small trap set by others. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand and said, "I take my grandfather's teachings to heart. ”

Kou Zhun nodded, was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke, "You should make a mistake." ”

Kou Ji glared in astonishment, "Make a mistake? ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said, "If you don't make a mistake, the court can't cure you." ”

Kou Ji couldn't help but laugh and said: "Others can't wait for their grandson's title to be high enough, and the official position is not high enough, why do you want me to make mistakes?" ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji, "You are already about to touch the apex of the human ministers, and in the blink of an eye, you can reach the point where there is no seal." Although the official family is kind to you, but you have really reached the point where there is no seal, how can the official family tolerate you to continue to stay in the court? ”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and frowned slightly, "The official family shouldn't deal with me." ”

Kou Zhun sneered: "Even if the officials can tolerate you, the hundred officials can tolerate you, and the people can tolerate you?" A very human minister, there is no seal, the throne is untouchable, and at that time, you are the biggest disaster of the Great Song Dynasty.

Your existence is a sword hanging over everyone's heads.

The officials are afraid that your rebellion will affect their prosperity and wealth.

The people are afraid that your rebellion will affect their hard-won prosperity.

If you don't die, everyone in the government and the opposition will not be at ease.

You say you can't die? ”

Kou Ji's face was a little unsightly: "So...... Now I have to keep quiet, or make mistakes, and lower my status, and then go up and down. Rise and fall, has been maintained at a level that is acceptable to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the common people? ”

Kou Zhun nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "That's a little too aggrieved, right?" ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and snorted, "Will you be wronged?" There are countless civil and military generals who have made friends with you, and the official family has introduced you as a confidant, even if you have no official and no lord, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of you.

Whoever you want to deal with, you just need to put a word out, and naturally someone will help you deal with it, and you don't need to go into battle shirtless at all. ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Then I will stay in the house in the future, Taoguang will be obscure, and accompany my wife and children?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said, "You can accompany Xiang Yan, where is Xiao Tianci, I don't need you to accompany you." ”

Kou Ji raised his brow in astonishment.

Kou Zhun said very arrogantly: "After Xiao Tianci can speak, he has to stay by the old man's side, and the old man will take him and train him personally." ”

Kou Ji said reluctantly: "Can I refuse?" ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said nonchalantly, "Can you ...... You first find a rope and hang the old man. ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips, not wanting to talk to this unreasonable old man.

Can you be unreasonable when you're old?

Being old in the Great Song Dynasty can really be unreasonable.

Kou Ji sighed in his heart and said to Kou Zhun: "Since my grandfather wants to personally train Xiao Tianci, I won't stop me." I'll have another one with Yan'er when I go back. ”

Kou Zhun glared and said dissatisfiedly: "How can one be enough?" gave birth to ten or eight of him, and my Kou Mansion can't afford to raise him. ”

Kou Ji shook his head with a smile and didn't speak again.

Kou Zhun muttered: "Go back and help the old man insert a few people in Hexi'an?" ”

"Huh?"

Kou Ji stared in amazement, the upright Kou Gong actually learned to go through the back door?

Kou Zhun seemed to see through Kou Ji's sinister thoughts, glanced at Kou Ji and said, "There are a few little monsters in the Wenchang Academy, and they have completed three years of schoolwork in one year.

Now that they are eating and waiting for death in the school hall all day long, the old man doesn't want to see them waste Shaohua, so he is ready to send them out to practice.

Hexi was initially decided, and there was just a shortage of people.

Let them go to Hexi and gnaw on the hard bones.

Take a good look at how difficult it is for the people at the bottom. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he suddenly realized that Kou Zhun walked through the back door, not for private matters, but for official business.

Regarding the little monster mentioned in Kou Zhun's mouth, Kou Ji probably had some guesses, but he didn't dig deeper.

Kou Ji thought about it for a while, and said to Kou Zhun: "The people of Hexi are not bad......

There are thousands of acres of fertile land under each name, and there are three wives in the house, and the small life is nourishing.

It is more nourishing than some wealthy families in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

The students of Wenchang School went to it, and I am afraid that they will not experience the difficulties of the low-level people.

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said, "The old man has heard a little about what you are doing in Hexi, and the old man also knows how the people in Hexi are doing." The people that the old man refers to are not the Song people who migrated to Hexi, but the Uighurs who have joined our Great Song Dynasty.

The wicked people in Hexi, you have already killed those who should be killed.

What shouldn't be killed has been killed by you.

Most of the people who are left today are pure and virtuous people.

With good governance and good guidance, sooner or later they will get rid of their Uighur identity and become a Song people. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he slightly understood Kou Zhun's intention of arranging for those students to go to Hexi.

Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun with a little puzzle and said, "Grandfather, I have heard that you are a person who discriminates against regions. How could it be so good to the people of Hexi? ”

The corners of Kou Zhun's mouth twitched, glared at Kou Ji, and shouted, "Nonsense......"

Kou Ji said seriously: "I heard that when you first entered the official career, you were quite prejudiced against southerners? ”

Kou Zhun said with a little annoyance: "Is it the old man who has a prejudice against southerners?" The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, including the official family, had prejudices against the southerners. The old man is just following the trend. ”

Kou Ji looked puzzled.

Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said: "Taizu founded the country in the north, so most of the ministers in the court are northerners. When Taizu was in power, most of the prime ministers in the court were northerners, so there was a saying that Taizu didn't like southerners and was unwilling to use southerners as prime ministers.

Taizong really hates southerners.

The old man is a minister under Taizong, does he want to gamble on his career and go to speak for the southerners? ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Why does Taizong hate southerners. ”

Kou Zhun sighed, "This matter is related to Nantang. In the past, Emperor Taizong followed the army to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty and broke through Jinling. Emperor Taizong rushed into the Southern Tang Imperial Palace with his subordinates, ready to search for it, but found that the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty was empty and could run mice.

Emperor Taizong was extremely angry, and led people to massacre in Jinling City, and looted a large amount of money from the Southern Tang Dynasty Wenchen and the wealthy merchant Dajia's mansion.

Emperor Taizong asserted that the defeat of the Southern Tang Dynasty was all because of the Southern Tang Dynasty Wenchen and Shangjia.

Southern Tang Wenchen emptied the treasury.

Southern Tang merchants made all the money in the world.

But he refused to help when Nantang was poor.

forced Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to loot the people's wealth in the Southern Tang Dynasty to defend against foreign enemies.

As a result, the disaster of the country's demise was sown.

Emperor Taizong felt that the conscience of the Wenchen of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Shangjia of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very bad.

Sit and watch the Southern Tang Dynasty fall.

Therefore, he was extremely disgusted with the Wenchen of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the merchants of the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "So, Emperor Taizong is disgusted with the people of the entire south because of this? ”

Kou Zhun frowned and said, "To be precise, it is a scholar and businessman in the south. ”

Kou Ji smiled bitterly: "So, grandfather discriminates against the southerners, it's not that grandfather you really have regional discrimination. Was it the atmosphere in the court at that time? ”

Kou Zhun nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji groaned: "There is no such atmosphere in the court now, right? ”

Kou Zhun said faintly: "When the first emperor was in the court, there was still this kind of atmosphere. After the official family ascended the throne, it dissipated a lot. ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "The southerners and northerners are all Song people, so there shouldn't be such a trend." There are good and bad hearts in people, and they should not be angry with everyone. ”

Kou Zhun sighed and said: "Money can corrupt people's hearts the most, but if you sit back and watch the country die because of greed for money, it will be very hateful." ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said: "You haven't experienced the war to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, you can't imagine that the poor people in the imperial court can only survive by looting the people's fat and people's ointment." The officials were so rich, and the rich businessmen were also very rich, but they refused to give a penny to help the court tide over the difficulties.

Sit back and watch the country fall, sit back and watch the wolf smoke rise.

How can you not feel hatred in the face of them?

But whoever has a family and a country in his heart will be eager to devour their flesh and blood. ”

Although Kou Ji had not experienced the battle to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, he could imagine that kind of scene.

Because there is an example in the history books that is far more famous than the Southern Tang Dynasty, that is, the Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, the treasury was empty and could run mice, and Emperor Chongzhen demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, and worked hard to maintain the Ming Dynasty.

But in the end, it failed to maintain the Ming Dynasty.

Did the Ming Dynasty really run out of money?

After Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, he looted tens of millions of taels of silver from the mansions of dignitaries and nobles in Beijing.

The dignitaries and nobles in Beijing are very rich

but refused to take it out and tide over the national disaster together.

Seeing the defeat of the country.

Ridiculously.

In order to maintain the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen ordered his ministers to donate 'aids' and pay military salaries.

Emperor Chongzhen's father-in-law, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui, only donated 3,000 taels of silver.

What's even more ridiculous is that Zhou Kui's three thousand taels of silver was actually given by his daughter Queen Zhou.

In order to let Zhou Kui play a leading role, Queen Zhou privately gave Zhou Kui 5,000 taels of silver and asked Zhou Kui to donate.

Zhou Kui actually took an intermediary commission of two thousand taels of silver from the middle.

After King Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing, his generals searched for a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings from Zhou Kui's mansion.

The other courtiers were much the same.

During Emperor Chongzhen's fundraising, one by one cried poor and was unwilling to pay.

But when Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, broke through the city of Beijing and searched for it, he found a large amount of gold and silver from their house.

Such a minister, for his own greed, sat back and watched the country fall.

How can people not hate?

It is not an exaggeration to call them national thieves one by one.

The experience of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is similar to that of Emperor Chongzhen.

The ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty are the same one by one.

Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi, after seeing such ministers, how could he not hate them and dislike them?

If Kou Ji came across these things, he would probably be able to carry a knife and cut the corpses of all of them into a pulp and burn them with a fierce fire.

Why not feed the dogs?

Because Kou Ji was afraid that the dog would vomit out disgustingly.

Kou Ji was silent for a long time, and said with a heavy heart: "It's been decades since my Great Song Dynasty won the world. Those disgusting things are almost dead.

Such things that are not things are not only found in the south, but also in the north.

It is not possible to generalize.

With me in the court, I would never allow such things to exist.

Therefore, you can't wronged the southerners because of such things that are not things. ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Do you still want to deliberately praise a prime minister from the south?" ”

Kou Ji said very decisively: "Regardless of the north and the south, they are all Song people, and they are suitable for talent." ”
