After Wang Shu got the news, he immediately rushed to Qingguo with Wang Yuan and Wang Kou's thousands of miles.

Kou Zhun was lying on the couch and could hardly speak, and after Wang Shu's family arrived, Kou Zhun never let go of Wang Kou's hand.

With tears in his eyes, Wang Kou stayed in Qingdu to accompany Kou Zhun.

Seeing this, Kou Ji could only send a long letter to Zhao Zhen, asking Zhao Zhen to give Wang Shu and Wang Yuan a long vacation.

If Wang Kou's family doesn't leave, Wang Shu and Wang Yuan won't be able to go.

With their father and son status, they don't have the face to let Zhao Zhen give them a long vacation.

Kou Ji had to come forward in person.

After Kou Ji's long letter was delivered to Zhao Zhen's palace, Zhao Zhen happily approved it, but also made a request.

Zhao Zhen is going to invite Kou Zhun's portrait out of the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, and then make a statue of Kou Zhun, and invite Kou Zhun's statue into the Confucian Temple for future generations to worship and worship.

After Kou Ji knew Zhao Zhen's request, he hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to agree.

After Kou Zhun retired, he was hailed as a sage, which was the praise of the government and the opposition, and the official document of the Great Song Dynasty did not deny it, but it was not recognized.

Now Zhao Zhen wants to invite Kou Zhun's portrait out of the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, and make a statue of Kou Zhun, so that Kou Zhun can enter the Confucian Temple for future generations to worship and worship.

That means that Zhao Zhen wants to represent the Great Song Dynasty and recognize the identity of Kou Zhun Sage.

In the future, when others mention Kou Zhun again, they can no longer call him Kou Gong, but have to call him Kou Sheng.

Zhao Zhen's move seems to be making a request, but it is actually canonizing Kou Zhun in disguise.

Once he established the identity of Kou Zhun Saint.

That means that he, the emperor, has recognized the identity of Kou Zhun as a saint.

If he approves of it, his children and grandchildren will approve.

Even if there is a change of dynasty, as long as the new emperor's deeds cannot surpass Zhao Zhen, and there are no big traitors among the descendants of the Kou family, then Kou Zhun will always be able to sit in the Temple of Literature.

The reason why Kou Ji didn't dare to agree was because there were too many people involved.

Zhao Zhen took care of it and carried Kou Zhun into the Temple of Literature.

The emperors of the Zhao family also had to guarantee Kou Zhun.

It can be said that Zhao Zhen is using the imperial power of the Zhao family to shape the golden body of the sage for Kou Zhun.

Once Kou Zhun sits firmly in the Temple of Literature, the Kou family will owe the Zhao family a great favor.

It's not easy to repay the debt of favors.

Although Kou Ji didn't dare to agree, he didn't refuse either.

Kou Ji decided to ask for Kou Zhun's opinion.

Kou Ji has been by Kou Zhun's side for two months, Kou Zhun has been in a daze, Kou Zhun's condition is so good or bad, there is no death, but there is no vitality.

Until one day two months later, Kou Zhun was awake for a moment.

"Grandfather ......"

Kou Ji had been waiting by Kou Zhun's bedside, and when he saw that Kou Zhun's confused eyes had some light, he hurriedly stepped forward.

Kou Zhun's face turned a little pale, and after hearing Kou Ji's voice, he was slightly stunned, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, he stopped for a few breaths, and muttered as if he was talking to himself: "What's wrong with the old man?" ”

Kou Ji hurriedly said, "Grandfather, you have been sick for almost three months......

Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment and muttered, "Is the old man sick?" ”

Without waiting for Kou Ji to answer, Kou Zhun said to himself: "Probably because the history books have been compiled, and I have no worries in my heart, so I can't hold on......"

Kou Zhun's gaze fell on Kou Ji again, "You have been staying by the old man's side?" ”

Koji nodded.

Kou Zhun asked: "The old man vaguely remembers, your aunt has arrived?" ”

Kou Ji hurriedly said, "Auntie has been here for two months, and she has been waiting in front of your bed. I was still waiting in front of your bed, and now I'm going to make porridge for you. ”

Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "The old man remembers, when the old man was confused, he pulled your aunt and didn't let her go." The old man is a little cautious, I hope you don't blame it. ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Grandfather said he was joking. I am where I am today because of my grandfather's irradiation. If I didn't have my grandfather's support, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sit on the throne of Qingguo.

Now that I'm developed, irradiate my aunt, that's how it should be. ”

Kou Zhun sighed, shook his head and said, "You are the pearl in the dust, even if there is no old man, you will soar into the sky." The old man just gave you a step up and let you rise to the top a few years earlier.

You can have today, it is your own ability.

The old man bringing you is just the icing on the cake.

The number of times the old man carried Wang Shu is many times more than you don't know.

But look at the current Wang Shu, and then look at the current you.

Who is the real gold, easy to see? ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Grandfather, they are all a family, there is no need to divide one of them. ”

Kou Zhun was in a daze, dragging Wang Kou's and not letting Wang Kou's go, in fact, he wanted to leave Wang Kou's, Wang Shu and Wang Yuan.

Kou Zhun can see it, whether it is Wang Shu or Wang Yuan, it will not be able to become a big climate.

If you want to live in peace and stability, you can only rely on Kou Ji irradiation.

So Kou Zhun was in a daze, dragging Wang Kou's to death.

Now that Kou Zhun has come to his senses, he didn't hide it from Kou Ji, and happily told Kou Ji his thoughts.

Kou Ji understood his approach very well, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Kou Ji saw that Kou Zhun's brows gradually relaxed, and he knew that the worries in Kou Zhun's heart had been eliminated by himself.

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Grandfather, there is one thing that I still need to discuss with you. ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji suspiciously and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "Zhao Zhen wants to invite your portrait out of Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion, and then make a statue of a god for you and carry you into the Temple of Literature." ”

When Kou Zhun heard this, he was taken aback, "How can the old man be able to compete with the saints." ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "There is a saying in "Zuo Biography", there is virtue in Tai, followed by meritorious service, and then there is speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal.

Grandfather, when you were in the Great Song Dynasty, you were a very popular minister, but you didn't have any idea about the throne, and after you succeeded, you returned to the government and retreated to the background, which is an example for many people and ministers in the world.

This is Lide.

During your grandfather's reign in the Great Song Dynasty, you made many meritorious achievements, assisted the young emperor, and ruled the world, laying a solid foundation for the later prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty.

This is a meritorious service.

Grandfather's words left by you in the Wenchang Academy of the Great Song Dynasty were enshrined as holy words, pointing out a clear path for countless scholars. In Qingguo, he united many great Confucians, compiled the world's first history, and created a new calendar.

This is a statement.

To be precise, there are meritorious deeds, and there are also words.

The three immortals gathered in one and had the qualifications to enter the Temple of Literature.

When the world's first history spreads all over the world and is studied by people all over the world.

Even if you don't enter the Temple of Literature, you will be revered as a saint by future generations. ”

Kou Zhun asked with an uncertain expression, "Old man...... Is it really that powerful? ”

Kou Ji laughed and said, "Grandfather probably doesn't know how much credit he has made to compile the world's first history and create a new calendar. ”

Kou Zhun groaned: "The old man naturally knows that compiling the annals of history is a merit, but in the history of China, there is no flaw in the compilation of the old man. But some historical materials in the West, the old man just copied them according to the big food books, and did not go to the West for verification, and there must be many flaws in them.

Once it spreads out, if someone finds out about it, I'm afraid it will be laughed at. ”

Kou Ji smiled: "Grandfather doesn't have to worry about this matter. Grandfather could have left this matter to the students of Wenchang Academy. Let them go to the West to verify and rewrite the world's first history.

I can take one percent of the money from the Heaven-Sent Bank for them to do this.

After four or five generations have passed, the history books compiled by my grandfather will also be improved.

When the time comes, there will be no more nonsense. ”

Kou Zhun pondered Kou Ji's words for a moment, and nodded slowly: "This move is feasible, will their names be included in it?" ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "Look at their own minds, those who want to be famous will be given names, and those who want money will be given money." ”

Kou Zhun nodded and said, "How can you guarantee that people of four or five generations can do this willingly?" ”

Although Kou Zhun didn't say it explicitly, Kou Ji knew the meaning of Kou Zhun's words.

Kou Zhun was asking Kou Ji, how can he ensure that Qingguo can be inherited for four or five generations, and how can he ensure that there are no unfilial sons among the four or five generations.

Koji admitted: "I've drawn everyone's attention overseas. Without four or five generations, don't think about seeing overseas clearly.

If you can't see overseas clearly, who has the heart to fight?

Besides, Wenchang Academy belongs to Qingguo, not the Kou family.

Even if the Kou family has a bad descendant, they dare not risk the world's condemnation and bring disaster to Wenchang Academy.

I'm going to have a lot of allies in the future.

Wenchang Academy will provide talent support to these allies.

The allies will not watch my descendants of the Kou clan destroy Wenchang Academy. ”

Kou Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

Kou Ji continued to laugh and said, "Actually, I have gradually diluted the influence of the lord of the country on the prosperity of Qingguo. Although I am the lord of Qingguo, I have not interfered in the affairs of Qingguo for more than two years.

In a few years, the whole country will be familiar with this way of governing without the intervention of the head of the country.

Tianci doesn't seem to care about the authority of the lord of Qingguo.

Therefore, it is very likely that this matter will become a common practice in Qingguo.

It is very likely that the lord of Qingguo will be held high on the altar in the future.

I am afraid it will be a little difficult for future generations to cause trouble. ”

Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji in astonishment, "Others have become the lord of the country, and they are constantly strengthening the royal power, you are good, you actually took the initiative to disperse the royal power."

Aren't you afraid that the people below will take control of the royal power and overthrow you? ”

Kou Ji spread his hands and asked, "Grandfather, are you thinking a little long-term?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The old man is thinking a little long-term. ”

The Kou clan now seems to occupy only a small Qingguo, but the foundations under the feet of the Kou clan are everywhere.

If someone else wants to lift Kou's plate, they have to dig up the roots under Kou's feet first.

It's a bit difficult to dig up the roots of the Kou clan.

Kou Ji smiled: "Aren't we talking a little far?" ”

Kou Zhun nodded.

Kou Ji smiled and asked, "So the Temple of Literature, do you want to go in?" ”

Kou Zhun hesitated for a moment, but was speechless.

Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun without speaking.

Kou Zhun sighed and said, "It's false to say that you don't want to go in." There are only you and my grandchildren here, and the old man is not afraid to tell you the truth. But there is no one who does not want to go in.

The Temple of Literature is a sacred place in the hearts of readers.

He is a scholar who wants to sit on it and enjoy the worship and worship of future generations.

The old man also wanted to, very much.

But the old man felt that he was not qualified. ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Grandfather can just think about it, don't worry about the rest." ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice, "Don't come nonsense. ”

Kou Ji said seriously: "I didn't come nonsense. ”

After Kou Ji finished speaking, he silently added in his heart...... It was Zhao Zhen who came......

Although Kou Zhun was very humble, Kou Ji could see that Kou Zhun really wanted to go in.

Don't say it's Kou Zhun, even Kou Ji himself wants to go in.

The reason why Kou Ji didn't reject Zhao Zhen was because of this.

Kou Ji accompanied Kou Zhun to talk for a while, Wang Kou entered the door with a bowl of gruel, and after seeing Kou Zhun awake, the father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Kou Ji didn't bother them, quietly exited the room, and then sent a long letter to Zhao Zhen.

As for the Zhao family's favor, Kou Ji recognized it.

After Zhao Zhen got Kou Ji's long letter, he asked for the meaning of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

No one in the Manchu Dynasty refused.

No way, they all owe Koji.

Among the folk scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no one who has a complaint.

Because the world's first history compiled by Kou Zhun that opened the eyes of all of them was enough to silence all of them.

Zhao Zhen saw that there was no opposition from the government and the opposition, so he decisively invited Kou Zhun's portrait out of the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion.

Since the Great Song Dynasty official wants to canonize Kou Zhun, it is no longer suitable for Kou Zhun to stay in the Zhaoxun Chongde Pavilion in the Great Song Dynasty to worship his courtiers.

Zhao Zhen didn't dare to be cheeky and put a saint among his courtiers.

Because no matter how powerful Zhao Zhen is, you can't treat a saintly person as a courtier.

That's disrespectful.

After Zhao Zhen invited the portrait of Kou Zhun, he carved a statue of the god for Kou Zhun and sent it to the Confucian temples in various places.

However, Kou Zhun's idol is different from the other statues in the Temple of Literature.

Kou Zhun's idol was wrapped in red silk, and it was tightly wrapped.

Kou Zhun is now a living person and can erect a statue, but after he sets up a statue, he must wrap it in red silk.

If he doesn't, then he is not canonizing Kou Zhun, but cursing Kou Zhun to die early.

Zhao Zhen's move has the intention of bowing his head to Kou Ji to show goodwill, how can he leave flaws.

After Kou Zhun's statue was enshrined in the Temple of Literature, it immediately became popular.

The fire is a mess.

The reason why it became popular was not because Kou Zhun was canonized.

Instead, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong and others, who occupied the Liao culture, decisively enshrined Kou Zhun as the sage of the new Confucian learning they preached.

In the past, they preached the new Confucian learning, and they had no followers, and they were always shouted and beaten and killed.

Now they've found a foothold for themselves.

It's not too much for a saint to start a school, right?

With the saints as heels, we preach new learning again, you can't stop shouting and shouting and killing, right?

After the Confucian scholars learned about this, they jumped to their feet angrily, but there was no way.

Because Kou Zhun studied pure Confucianism, Kou Zhun was canonized, that is, a Confucian saint.

It is impossible for the Confucian scholars to push a saint out in order to fight Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong and others, right?

What's more, in order to implement their heels, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong and others actually concocted a "Kou Gong Conferred Virtuous Map".

Under a tall portrait of Kou Zhun, two naughty children are squatting and listening to the lecture.

One is called Zhao Zhen and the other is called Kou Ji.

But after these two learned about it, they didn't say anything.

It can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the picture concocted by Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong.

Can anyone afford to offend these two?

The gods and Buddhas of the heavens are trembling when they see them now, can mortals afford to offend?

Kou Ji was made into Kou Zhun's apprentices by Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong, and Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong, as Kou Ji's apprentices and Zhao Zhen's nephews, naturally became Kou Zhun's apprentices.

hugged three golden thighs in one go.

The new Confucian school can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Confucian scholars of the Great Song Dynasty pinched their noses and acquiesced in the existence of Confucian Xinxue.

Then Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong began to frantically teach new learning in the Great Song Dynasty.

The disciples of Xinxue also gradually entered the county schools in various places.

That's right, it's the county school.

There are too many Confucians on the façade of Chinese culture, and they can't get into it.

So they decisively took their salaries and went to the county school.

Seeing this, the Confucian scholars also began to enter the county school.

For a time, the teaching force of Dasong County School actually reached an over-standard state.

After this incident broke out, it lasted for more than three years, and it did not stop.

For more than three years, Kou Ji has been by Kou Zhun's side.

I don't know if Kou Zhun was consecrated and produced joy and diluted the dead air on Kou Zhun's body, or if Kou Zhun overthrew King Yama again.

Kou Zhun, who had been lying on the sickbed for three years, got better.

The whole person looks more energetic than before.

Kou Ji watched Kou Zhun flick his black hair and walk in the yard refreshed, not knowing what to say at all.

"Go, get the old man wine."

After Kou Zhun wandered around the courtyard for a long time, he shouted heroically.

Kou Ji said helplessly: "Grandfather, you are now recovering from a serious illness, and it is not suitable for drinking. ”

Kou Zhun glared and said, "The old man doesn't care, what do you care about?" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "You are also a living saint now, and there are tens of thousands of disciples and grandchildren under your disciples. Every move is likely to be recorded.

Aren't you afraid that after drinking, you will lose your temper, and after being seen, you will publicize it and affect your prestige? ”

Kou Zhun clicked his lips and said with emotion: "I knew that being a saint was so tiring, and the old man would not be right." ”

Kou Ji pouted and said, "Then I'll have someone carry out the statue of the god in the Temple of Literature." ”

Kou Zhun blew his beard and glared and shouted, "How can that work?" When have you ever seen a statue of a god carried into the Temple of Literature, and something that has been carried out? The old man doesn't want to lose face? ”

Kou Ji pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "There is no one in the Temple of Literature, but there is a ...... in the Temple of Martial Arts."

When Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Wu Temple, he invited Wu Zixu out and Zhao Yun in.

It's a pity that it was a matter of the Ming Dynasty.

Kou Zhun can't see it.

Seeing Kou Zhun muttering in a low voice, Kou Zhun glared and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Kou Ji hurriedly said: "I mean that since you have become a saint, you must look like a saint." ”

Kou Zhun muttered dissatisfiedly, "Saints are also human beings, and they have to drink." ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

After Kou Zhun recovered from his illness, he became a little more childish.

Old children, old children, really don't talk about it casually.

After Kou Ji accompanied Kou Zhun to eat a simple light meal, Liang Shi appeared in front of Kou Ji with a person.

After Kou Ji saw the comer, he was slightly flustered.

"Foreign Minister Chen Lin, I have seen His Royal Highness the Lord of Qingguo......"

I haven't seen her for a long time, Chen Lin is really too old to see it, she has lost two teeth, her speech is still leaky, and her face is covered with age spots and goosebumps.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "You are so old, and you are still running around. ”

Chen Lin grinned toothlessly and said with a smile: "Except for our family, you don't want to see anyone else." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Let's talk about it." What happened to me this time? ”

Chen Lin put his hand into his cuffs, took out a gilded invitation, and handed it to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji took the invitation, glanced at it, frowned, and said, "The completion of the new capital of the Great Song Dynasty, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji with a smile and did not speak.

Kou Ji hesitated for a moment, stared at Chen Lin and asked, "Who else did you invite?" ”

Chen Lin laughed softly: "Several vassal kings, the officials have all been invited. ”

Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll let God pass when the time comes."

The smile on Chen Lin's face froze, "The official family hopes that you can go back." ”

Kou Ji pointed to the invitation, "What is written on it is to ask the Lord of Qingguo to be perfunctory, I just need to pass on the Lord of Qingguo to Tianci." Anyway, there is still one year in the time, which is enough for me to pass on the Lord of Qingguo to Tianci. ”

Chen Lin's face showed a hint of bitterness.

Kou Ji waved his hand and asked Liang Shi to take Chen Lin down to rest.

Liang Shi arched his hand and left Kou Zhun's residence with Chen Lin.

After Chen Lin left, Kou Zhun appeared in front of Kou Ji and asked, "Why don't you want to go?" Zhao Zhen invited everyone, I'm afraid not just to move the capital. ”

Kou Ji nodded and said, "I know ......"

What Zhao Zhen wants to do, Kou Ji knows in his heart.

Kou Ji actually wanted to go, but when he thought that he would have to face the civil and military faces of the Great Song and Manchu Dynasty after he went, Kou Ji gave up.

Kou Ji was really disgusted by the civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty.

He really didn't want to see the Manchu civil and military forces of the Great Song Dynasty again.

"Then why don't you go?"

"It's good to be sent by God. I'm too old to travel too much. ”

"Smack......

Kou Ji found an excuse for his lame identity, and Kou Zhun kicked Kou Ji angrily.

In front of an old man who is almost ninety, he said that he was old, how could he not be beaten.

Kou Ji glared at Kou Zhun angrily, left Kou Zhun's residence, and went to find Kou Tianci.

When Kou Ji found Kou Tianci, Kou Tianci was smiling at the iron boat that was steaming white and smoke on the river.

It took Kou Tianci many years to finally get the steamship out.

Not only did he make a steamer, but he also designed a steamer.

All that's left is to build and pilot.

Kou Tianci looked at the iron boat rampaging on the river, and touched the two mustaches at the corners of his mouth with a smile, as if he had seen himself driving the iron boat and rampage on the sea.

After Kou Ji arrived at Kou Tianci's side, he didn't bother Kou Tianci, but stared at the steam iron ship on the river, looked at it for a long time, and then patted Kou Tianci's shoulder, and said with a bright smile: "Son, from tomorrow onwards, you will be the lord of Qingguo?" ”

Kou Tianci stood in place in astonishment as if he had been struck by lightning.

After a long time, he roared loudly at Kou Ji's departed back, "Dad, you can't do this!" ”
