Lu Yijian finally understood what Kou Ji was going to do.

Accurately explained what Zhao Zhen was going to do.

Restructuring!

And it's not a small change, it's a big change!

Only in this way will Zhao Zhen push Kou Ji to the throne at all costs.

Because Kou Ji's thoughts are the same as Zhao Zhen's.

With Kou Ji from the side, Zhao Zhen will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when he starts to do things.

After thinking about this, Lu Yijian's heart was not so painful.

Because he knows that he may not be the only one who has left the court.

Then there will be a steady stream of people leaving the court.

Because restructuring represents the exchange of the old for the new, the old things will naturally be replaced by the new things.

Among them are some old-fashioned officials.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is not an empty word.

Different emperors have different ideas and different ways of governing.

Because of this, he needed the help of different courtiers.

Zhao Zhen just pushed back the time of the change of courtiers for a while.

Now that the time has come, it's natural for some people to leave.

It's time for some to get on top.

Lu Yijian stared at Kou Ji with a bitter expression, "I finally understand why your grandfather left so simply." ”

As an important minister of the times, Kou Zhun saw that the country he governed had undergone earth-shaking changes, but he couldn't cope with these changes, and he couldn't see where these changes ended, all he could feel was loneliness and desolation.

He was unwilling to face these loneliness and desolation, so he resolutely left Bianjing City and went to Handi.

Only the ruined Han Land can make Kou Zhun see the value of his existence.

Kou Ji was speechless, because what Lu Yijian said was right.

The reason why Kou Zhun left Bianjing City so simply also has this reason.

"I won't admit defeat easily, so don't be lazy, once I see the possibility of recovery, I will definitely not be polite......"

Lu Yijian dropped these words, and without waiting for Kou Ji's words, he bent over and left the Vertical Arch Hall alone, looking a little gloomy on his back.

The three Lu brothers hurriedly chased out.

Kou Ji looked at Lu Yijian's back and shouted, "Is there a dispute between gentlemen?" I'm supposed to get down. ”

Kou Ji was not dissatisfied with Lu Yijian's threat, but he was a little happy.

This should be the case with the court dispute between the great powers.

Righteousness, gentlemen's dispute.

It's a healthy competition.

If it can be maintained forever, why is Da Song unhappy?

Some people understood the conversation between Kou Ji and Lu Yijian, and some people were still ignorant.

However, Kou Ji and Lu Yijian did not quarrel in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but decided the dispute between gentlemen and gentlemen.

Some people are still very happy in their hearts.

If such a trend is formed in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will usher in an unprecedented situation.

Those who win are simply victorious, and those who lose are free and easy.

This is the officialdom they dream of.

The civil officials walked up to Kou Ji one after another, bowed without saying a word, and withdrew from the Vertical Arch Hall.

Even if it is some of Lu Yijian's henchmen, it is like this.

Although Kou Ji moved to Lu Yijian, they lost a big backer.

But Kou Ji's victory is upright, and he has cleared the atmosphere of open and secret fighting in the court, which is worthy of their respect.

Wang was the last civil official to pay homage to Kou Ji.

Before giving the salute, Wang Zeng said with a complicated expression: "I love and fear you...... In order to prevent you from entering the court, I helped Lu Yijian a lot, but I was worried that you would not be able to enter the court, so I helped you again at a critical time. ”

In the battle between Lü Yijian and Kou Ji, Wang Zeng has always been in conflict.

He was afraid that Koji would ascend to the throne and kill on a large scale.

So when Lu Yijian was recruiting, he helped Lu Yijian a lot.

But he was worried that Kou Ji would not be able to take the position, and Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen's plan would be in vain, so when it was critical, he spoke out to help Kou Ji.

Now Kou Ji has won, and Lu Yijian has lost.

But Wang Zeng did not have any joy in his heart, only a deep sigh.

Kou Ji understood Wang Zeng's mood, so he smiled and said, "I will kill as few as possible......"

Wang Zeng glanced at Kou Ji resentfully, "Do you believe this?" ”

Kou Ji was stunned.

Wang Zeng pouted and pointed at Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang.

Kou Ji laughed.

He understood what Wang Zeng meant.

Wang Zeng was telling him that just now, he had issued two murderous military orders with great iron.

Kou Ji spread his hands and said helplessly: "Things in the army should be done in the army......

Wang Zeng sighed, "If you can kill less, you can kill less, if you have to kill, ask me first, if I have a way to solve it, you don't kill him." ”

Koji nodded.

Wang Zeng sighed and left the vertical arch hall.

As soon as Wang Zeng left, only Kou Ji and a group of military ministers were left in the vertical arch hall.

After the military ministers were gone, a loud shout broke out.

Kou Ji is their backbone, when Kou Ji was in the court, they were Wenchen, and they didn't coax them at all.

When Kou Ji was away, they couldn't scare Wenchen at all.

Now that Kou Ji has entered the court again, their backbone has returned, and they are naturally happy.

Kou Ji smiled amid the cheers of the military ministers: "I am probably the most popular Wenchen in the history of the Great Song Dynasty......"

Li Zhaoliang said with some disdain: "You have been in the army for most of the time since you came out, what kind of civil servant are you?" ”

Kou Ji smiled and said, "I was originally a prince's attendant......"

Li Zhaoliang shouted with a nonchalant expression: "Is it still useful to say this now?" In order to celebrate your re-entry into the court, everyone goes to Fanlou to celebrate, I please! ”

Li Zhaoliang shouted loudly and beckoned all the military ministers to rush to Fanlou together.

Koji didn't want to sweep their Yaxing, so he went with them.

The military ministers are happy today, so they are a little dissolute.

A group of people rushed to Fanlou and took over the entire Fanlou.

Someone was playing in the Fan Building, and they were thrown out of the window directly.

The warriors ate and drank in the Fan Tower to celebrate the night.

If it weren't for the fact that Kou Ji didn't like to mess with flowers, they would still want to take Kou Ji to a coverless conference.

Kou Ji entered the palace in the early court, and was sent back to the bamboo courtyard by the servants in the middle of the night.

Xiang Yan hurriedly sent someone to carry Kou Ji back to the bedroom, helped Kou Ji wash up, and cooked some sobering soup for preparation.

Kou Ji slept until the third pole of the sun, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiang Yan holding a bowl of clear soup and handing it to him.

Kou Ji rubbed his forehead, which was a little sore and swollen, took the clear soup and drank it all, and after putting down the empty bowl, Kou Ji smiled and said, "From now on, I will be busy." ”

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "It's better to be busy, it's better to be busy......"

Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "I'm busy, but I can't accompany you." ”

Xiang Yan smiled and said, "The concubine has many sisters in Bianjing City. ”

Hearing this, Kou Ji seemed to think of something, and said to Xiang Yan: "When you go back to the palace, talk to Queen Cao, and say that Zhao Run, the king of life, has accumulated a huge amount of money, and let her watch it." ”

Xiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That kid put down his body for that little money, and ran around for several months, and the big head was taken away by you, and there were three melons and two dates left in your hand, and you still refused to let go." ”

Kou Ji sighed, "I don't want to treat him badly. But he was born extraordinary, and he is destined to be extraordinary in life. If the official family only has one son, it is nothing for me to indulge him.

But the official family now has many heirs, and there are many people who have the intention of forming a bureau to win the heirs.

His identity is destined for him to live on thin ice.

If he takes a wrong step, it is very likely that he will be infinitely magnified and eventually become the Taiyue who crushes him. ”

Xiang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that serious, right?" ”

Kou Ji glanced at Xiang Yan and said with a smile: "Among the many heirs of the official family now, only he is slightly older, so he can't see anything."

When the other princes grow up, you will understand. ”

Xiang Yan nodded with a deep groan, stared at Kou Ji and asked, "If there is really a scene of seizing the heir, will you participate in it?" ”

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "I'm involved, so what else are they going to take?" ”

When those dragon sons and grandsons are qualified to take the throne, his people may be able to occupy half of the court.

If he participates in it, it is not called taking the heir, it is called choosing the heir.

Xiang Yan said a little distractedly: "You are so confident? ”

Xiang Yan is not a rural village woman, she knows how difficult it is to win the heir.

Kou Ji can choose a successor in the succession game, so it is not ordinarily powerful.

You must know that her grandfather, as well as Kou Ji's grandfather, two extremely popular figures, are not capable of choosing a successor in the succession game.

Seeing that Xiang Yan was distracted, Kou Ji patted Xiang Yan's shoulder slightly, and said with a smile: "What do you want to do so much?" The ownership of the throne has nothing to do with us.

When that time comes, it's time for us to go back to the fiefdom.

When we get to the fiefdom, who sits on the throne has little to do with us. ”

Xiang Yan thought about it carefully for a while, and said with a wry smile: "It's the concubine who thinks too much......"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "Okay, you prepare some food for me, and by the way, send someone to the post station to take a look and see if there is any letter from Han Di in the past few days." ”

Xiang Yan agreed and walked out of the room.

Kou Ji got up, put on his clothes, washed up, and hurried to the dining hall to eat.

As soon as he was halfway through eating, Menzi hurriedly broke into the dining hall and reported to Kou Ji.

"Master, the palace has sent someone to deliver the decree......"

Kou Ji wiped his mouth and followed Menzi to the front yard, where he saw Chen Lin standing in the middle of the courtyard with someone holding the holy decree.

Kou Ji stepped forward.

Chen Lin announced, "Kou Ji takes the order......

Koji bowed his hand.

Chen Lin unfolded the decree and read it, only a short hundred words, so Chen Lin quickly read it to the end.

"Qiankou Ji is a flat chapter under the same book...... Chin this ......"

"Thanksgiving ...... of the Minister's Decree"

After bowing, Kou Ji took the holy decree.

After Kou Ji took the holy decree, Chen Lin sighed: "This is the shortest holy decree that our family has ever read. ”

Kou Ji put away the holy decree and said with a smile, "This is also the shortest holy decree I have ever received. ”

Chen Lin smiled indifferently and said: "The official family said that he can only give you a position in the same book, and he can't add other officials to you." ”

Kou Ji nodded, "Understood......"

Kou Ji's title has been passed on to Kou Tianci by him.

Kou Tianci now has a knight on his back, and Kou Ji can't get a knight again.

Chen Lin didn't stay long after passing on the holy decree, he sent the official uniform of the Tongzhongshu Sect under the Ping Zhangshi prepared for Kou Ji in the palace to Kou Ji, and then left Kou Ji with his people.

Next.

The sky is numb.

Kou Ji wore the official uniform given by the palace, sat in a carriage, lit a lantern, and entered the palace to go to the court.

Because of the cold, it was freezing.

After the Manchu Dynasty civil and military arrived at the edge of the Jinshui Bridge, almost none of them got off the carriage, and they all nested in the carriage, shielding themselves from the cold wind through the carriage.

It was not until the drums of the upper court beat that everyone got out of the carriage and entered the palace along the Jinshui Bridge.

When it came to the vertical arch hall, the earth fire dragon in the hall was burning.

The civil and military officials took off their clothes and entered the palace.

Kou Ji was dressed in a purple official uniform, and under the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he stepped to the head of the civil ministers.

Wang Zeng, who was standing behind Kou Ji, had mixed feelings in his heart.

He vaguely remembered that when he first met Kou Ji, Kou Ji was still a teenager who let him kick and beat.

In a flash, Kou Ji reached middle age.

What's more, Koji was in front of him.

It has become a flat chapter under the same book under one person and above ten thousand people.

Just when Wang Zeng was full of cranky thoughts.

Zhao Zhen had already appeared on the Vertical Arch Palace.

Chen Lin announced the previous dynasty according to the routine, and after the civil and military salutes of the Manchu Dynasty according to the routine, the court meeting officially began.

Kou Ji didn't look for any presence, so he didn't say anything.

Zhao Zhen didn't deliberately name him, and asked Kou Ji to introduce himself.

After the court meeting began, people from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and other yamen issued a petition to ask the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

Since it was the coldest time of winter, there was snow everywhere.

Some places were also hit by snowstorms, and the imperial court needed to contribute money for disaster relief.

While instructing the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to send people down to verify the matter, Zhao Zhen instructed the Ministry of Households to prepare food, clothing, and so on for disaster relief.

A large court meeting ended after discussing the results of the snow disaster.

Kou Ji didn't say a word the whole time.

After going to court, Kou Ji did not return home.

Instead, he followed Wang Zeng and Cai Qi to the political affairs hall.

As the center of the Great Song Dynasty, the Political Affairs Hall should be the busiest of all the yamen in the Great Song Dynasty.

Kou Ji can't leave government affairs to his subordinates like before, and go back to the house to be lazy, he must rush to the political hall to take charge.

Arrived at the government office.

The subordinate officials of the political affairs hall led Kou Ji to sit down in the public room dedicated to Pingzhangshi under the Tongzhong Book Gate.

Not long after he sat down, Wang Zeng appeared at the door.

"Isn't Kou Xiang going to the public office?"

Wang Zeng asked when he opened his mouth.

Kou Ji glanced at Wang Zeng, leaned lazily on the chair by the brazier, and said, "Office? What kind of business? If there is anything, you and Cai Xiang can just watch and deal with it, and when I need to come forward, I will naturally come forward. ”

Wang Zeng was annoyed by Kou Ji's irresponsible words, "You came to the political hall to sit down?" ”

Kou Ji didn't care about Wang Zeng's sarcastic tone, he said very calmly: "Of course. If everything needs to be handled by me, then what do the officials below the court do? ”

When the king heard this, he was speechless.

"Don't you have a lot of big things to do? Now that you have sat in the position of Pingzhangshi under the door of Tongzhongshu, why don't you do it? ”

Wang Zeng couldn't help but ask.

Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "Many things need to be done slowly, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

"Slowly?!"

Wang Zeng glared at Kou Ji, "I'll see when you're slowing down." ”

Kou Ji laughed again, but did not speak.

Wang Zeng snorted and walked out of the public room.

What he didn't expect was that Kou Ji was Xu, and Xu would arrive three months later.

Trimester.

The Great Song Dynasty experienced a cold winter, experienced the New Year's Festival, and experienced willow branches spitting out tender shoots.

When Wang Zeng couldn't help but prepare to go to Kou Ji and question him properly.

A horse came from the west and went straight into Bianjing City.

At the same time, a piece of good news was like a gust of wind, blowing all over Bianjing.

After entering the palace.

Zhao Zhen ordered the Manchu civil and military forces to be summoned.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty wore court clothes one after another and rushed to the palace.

Koji is also among them.

On the vertical arch hall, Zhao Zhen has not yet arrived.

Wang Zeng stood behind Kou Ji and said faintly: "Kou Xiangye, you have been Xu for more than three months. For three months, you didn't do anything.

Government affairs are handled by me and Cai Xiang.

Nowadays, it is rumored in Bianjing City that you are the first clay sculpture of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Kou Ji turned around and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Zeng snorted and did not speak.

Cai Qi behind Wang Zeng glared and said in a deep voice: "I can see and touch it, but it's useless." ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "There must be a traitor behind my back to ruin my reputation." ”

When Cai Qi heard this, he blew his beard angrily and glared, "Do you still need to slander your style in the political hall?" ”

Kou Ji was about to refute, but saw Zhao Zhen step into the vertical arch hall.

The civil and military forces in the hall immediately stood up.

After Zhao Zhen sat down, without waiting for Chen Lin to speak, he laughed and said, "Zhuqing, I'm very happy." Good news came from Qingtang, a month ago, my Song Yongning army and the soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Department joined hands to completely destroy Qingtang.

Since then, Qingtang has been owned by my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Qingtang was breached, which was expected.

Although the Manchu civil and military forces were happy, they were not so excited.

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bowed down in unison and said, "For the Great Song He!" Congratulations to the official! ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile after congratulating the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs: "I have decided to make Chen Yao, the general of the Yongning Army who destroyed Qingtang, the king, what do you think of Aiqing?" ”

When the Manchu civil and military heard this, they were all stunned.

Don't wait for them to react.

Chen Yaozuo was the first to speak, "The minister thinks it's inappropriate." Chen Yao's expedition to destroy Qingtang is certainly meritorious, but compared with the previous highnesses, it is more than a star and a half worse.

If the official family is to make Chen Yaozhi a first-class duke, Chen Yaozhi can afford it, but if the official family is to make Chen Yaozhi the king, he can't afford it.

Because he didn't make a contribution to my Great Song Dynasty that was enough to be crowned king. ”

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard Chen Yaozuo's words, they reacted differently.

The military ministers felt that Chen Yaozuo was stupid, and they actually let the prince go.

The ministers felt that Chen Yaozuo was protecting himself.

Zhao Zhen named Chen Yaozhi as king, which is certainly a good thing.

But once Chen Yaozuo was crowned king, Chen Yaozuo had to leave the court and follow Chen Yaozuo to become a vassal.

The seeds of reading up and down the Chen family will also completely lose their careers and go to the fiefdom to be an idle nobleman.

Zhao Zhen heard Chen Yaozuo's words, and said nonchalantly: "I don't want the prince, do you think that my prince of the Great Song Dynasty is not worth it?" ”

Chen Yaozuo hurriedly said: "Don't dare! ”

Zhao Zhen stared at Chen Yaozuo without words.

Cai Qi stood up at this time and helped Chen Yaozuo speak, "Official, Chen Yaozuo is reasonable. Although Chen Yaozhi helped me to obtain Qingtang in the Great Song Dynasty, the credit was not a star and a half worse than those who were crowned kings before, so it was not appropriate for Chen Yaozhi to be crowned king. ”

Zhao Zhen said unabashedly: "But I need someone to go to the junction of Qingtang and Yuanshan to help me sit in the west." If Chen Yaozhi doesn't go, will I go by myself? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen said this, Cai Qi fell into hesitation.

Zhao Zhen didn't wait for others to speak, and said: "Qingtang is vast and sparsely populated, to be more precise, that is, there is no one in Qingtang. Because after the fall of Qingtang, the Qingtang people and the Black Khan people in Qingtang were all captured by the Yuanshan Department to be subordinates.

I, the Great Song Dynasty and the Yuanshan Department, joined hands to attack Qingtang.

I want land in the Great Song Dynasty, and I want people in the Yuanshan Department.

Now that it has been completed, my Great Song Dynasty has got the land, and the Yuanshan Department has got the people.

Since I've gotten the land of Qingtang, I can't ignore it, right?

There is no suitable population to migrate out of the Great Song Dynasty today.

Therefore, there must be someone who leads the soldiers and horses to guard the west and guard this place for my Great Song Dynasty.

If they are not kept, sooner or later they will be overrun.

You don't want to see the territory that my Great Song Dynasty worked so hard to fight for is taken away by the bloodless soldiers, right?

If you think it's inappropriate for me to be crowned king, then take out one or two million people and fill the green pond for me.

As long as you can give one or two million people, I will never mention the matter of being crowned king again. ”

After listening to Zhao Zhen's words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent one by one.

If it was before, there would inevitably be someone in the court who would argue a few words and show off their sense of existence.

But today's Great Song Dynasty is more pragmatic, and if there is no nutrition, almost no one in the court will talk about it.

Time.

Zhao Zhen, Chen Yaozuo and others fell into a stalemate.

Chen Yaozuo and others did not approve of Zhao Zhen being crowned king, but there was no way to solve the problem raised by Zhao Zhen.

At this time, Kou Ji slowly walked out of the train, and in everyone's stunned eyes, he said: "Since Chen Yaozhi is not suitable, let Li Zhaoliang go." ”

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Zhaoliang in unison.

Li Zhaoliang's expression was a little complicated.

The Lord is what he wants.

But the intersection of Qingtang and Yuanshan is not a good place.

When everyone looked at Li Zhaoliang, Kou Ji continued: "Chen Yaozhi's credit is insufficient, but Li Zhaoliang's credit is definitely more than enough.

The Li clan is also a big family, and the Li clan migrated to the past, and should be able to quickly pull out a thousand soldiers and horses.

After the Li clan gains a foothold, there should be more soldiers and horses.

With the courage of the Li family in the past dynasties, he will definitely be able to help the official family defend the western region. ”

After Kou Ji finished speaking, Li Zhaoliang's face was a little bitter.

Chen Yaozuo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said decisively: "The minister thinks that Kou Xiang's words are reasonable. ”

Wang Zeng glanced at Kou Ji, sighed, and arched his hand: "The minister seconded ......"

Cai Qi didn't hesitate and said, "The minister seconded ......"

Anyway, Li Zhaoliang will be sealed out sooner or later.

Now it's just right to replace Chen Yao.

After Li Zhaoliang left the court, the vacated position of the secretary of the military department could just be replaced by Chen Yaozhi.
