"I ...... I ......"

Seeing Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors kneeling in front of him, Zhao Zhen had tears in his eyes and stammered speechless.

Liu E, Wang Qinruo and others had the intention to stop it, but it was not easy to speak.

As an old minister of the Three Dynasties, Kou Zhun knelt on the ground and asked for his resignation, obviously decided.

Even if they stopped it, it was only a delay for a moment.

As long as Kou Zhun and Kou Ji's ancestors and grandchildren can't kneel.

Zhao Zhen is not allowed now, and he will be allowed in the future.

Because Kou Zhun's body bones are not enough to support Kou Zhun to kneel for a long time.

If Kou Zhun knelt and fainted in Yanfu Palace.

Then Zhao Zhen will inevitably fall into the reputation of not cherishing the old minister.

Zhao Zhen saw that Kou Zhun had made up his mind, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only raise his head and look at Li Di, Wang Zeng and others with a pleading gaze.

Wang Zeng squirmed his lips and wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Kou Zhun insisted on begging to go, for something, Wang Zeng probably guessed something.

Kou Zhunquan's power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and one person was above 10,000 people, and his subordinates not only had a large number of civilian officials follow, but also Zhu Neng and some military ministers who controlled the military power followed.

Kou Ji is very intelligent, after entering the office, he has repeatedly made meritorious achievements, holding a word Jiaozipu that cannot be ignored, a tiger army with strong combat effectiveness, a lot of clever works, and the son-in-law of Xiang Fu, who can borrow all the political resources in Xiang Minzhong's hands, and has close contacts with top generals such as the Cao family, the Li family, and the Yang family, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to die for it.

The two ancestors and grandsons almost hold half of the power of the court in their hands.

Money, power, people, grandparents and grandchildren have everything in their hands.

The power of the Kou Mansion has exceeded the power that a courtier should have.

The grandfather and grandson have already stepped on the throne with half a foot.

Half a step further, and the earth will be turned upside down.

As long as their grandparents had more power in their hands.

Those followers behind them will not hesitate to sit on the throne in their arms.

When the time comes, no one will ask their grandparents if they want to.

Kou Zhun is begging to go now, just right.

It not only fulfilled the righteousness of the monarch and the ministers, but also extinguished the signs of rebellion by those careerists and speculators.

He who is a minister.

When it is.

Wang Zeng took a step forward with a solemn face, faced Kou Zhun, raised his hands in front of his chest, and bent down deeply.

Wang Zeng could think of it.

Li Di could naturally think of it.

Li Di was still in the heart to prevent Kou Ji from using Kou Zhun's power to make trouble.

Now that he saw Kou Zhun's request, he was not greedy for power at all, and he felt guilty in his heart.

I feel that I have the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman.

Li Di took a step forward with a guilty face, bent down deeply at Kou Zhun.

There are Wang Zeng and Li Di leading the way.

The other ministers came out of class one after another, respectfully facing Kou Zhun and bending down deeply.

One ...... after another

The ministers bent down in unison with the most respectful gesture.

Among the military ministers.

Led by Cao Wei, a group of military ministers looked at Kou Zhun with very complicated eyes.

For them, having a lot of power is equivalent to having a lot of money.

Kou Zhun was able to let go of everything so easily.

They might as well be.

"Respect Kou Gong!"

Cao Wei took a step forward and bent down at Kou Zhun.

The warriors followed Cao Wei and bent down together.

……

"Such a sage, although he is not from my Liao, he should be respected......"

The envoy of the Liao State sighed and bowed down.

……

"If there is such a person in my Western Xia, why would I be reduced to the ......?"

The Western Xia envoy gritted his teeth, roared angrily, and bowed down.

……

Korea......

Dali......

Cochin ......

Qingtang ......

……

The envoys of various countries and states bowed in unison.

They are all nobles from all countries, and they know how difficult it is for a person to let go of the power of the world after he has controlled it.

It seems that Kou Zhun is so virtuous, let alone them.

Even their emperors, lords, and leaders were treated with courtesy when they saw them.

When Liu E, Wang Qinruo and others saw this, their hearts were dripping blood.

Trend.

Kou Zhun resigned, irreversible.

Even so.

Liu E still had to get up and pay tribute to Kou Zhun with a sad face.

Wang Qinruo still had to get up and bend down.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen trembled and couldn't say a word.

Empress Cao clenched Zhao Zhen's hand and snorted.

"Official ......"

Zhao Zhen slowly came back to his senses, and Empress Cao's reminder seemed to give Zhao Zhen courage.

Zhao Zhen let go of the hand holding Kou Zhun and slowly straightened up.

In the eyes of Liu E, Wang Qinruo, Li Di, Wang Zeng and others, Kou Zhun may have some political purpose in begging to go.

But in Zhao Zhen's eyes, Kou Zhun begged to go, just like an elder who treated him generously on weekdays and helped him solve all kinds of troubles to leave him.

Kou Zhun begged to go, whether he had other purposes, he didn't think much about it at all, and he didn't want to think about it too much.

He is the closest elder to Kou Zhun.

That's all.

In the few years that have passed, he has accompanied him the most and taught him the most.

Only Kou Zhun.

Even if Zhao Heng is the one who is the father, he is not as good as Kou Zhun.

When Zhao Heng was alive, Zhao Zhen was still young, and Zhao Heng rarely accompanied him, either stuffing him into the harem and letting Liu E and others take care of him, or throwing him to Xiang Minzhong, Wang Zeng and others to teach.

Although Chen Lin has been with him for a long time, he has always regarded himself as a slave and has always acted in the way of a slave.

There is no way to teach him by word and deed like Kou Zhun like an elder.

Letting a close elder leave, it was a painful decision for Zhao Zhen, who had few relatives.

But even if his heart was like a knife, he had to make a painful decision.

Because he is an official.

He can't be like a teenager in an ordinary family, hugging his elders, crying loudly, begging the elders not to leave.

Crying out loud is a luxury for him.

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Zhun with red eyes.

I asked in my heart.

'Master, is this your last lesson to me?' Do you want to tell me in this way that I still need to pick up the burden of the country after all? ’

After Zhao Zhen asked with a sad voice in his heart, he cried and said in a low voice: "I ...... Yes......"

Kou Zhun pulled Kou Ji and immediately thanked him.

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes in pain and said in a mournful voice: "Cut the post of chief regent...... Cutting the Taishi with the Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi...... Jin Taishi is ...... Zhenguo Gong...... Duke of the 1st Class ...... Python robe jade with purple gold crown...... Give the Son of Heaven three instruments, and wherever I go, I will come in person...... On one side of the jade plate, the Song Dynasty can be passed, and the forbidden garden of the palace is among them...... ...... of Sishi-eup"

(Zhenguo Gong, which first appeared at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, was awarded the title of Zhao Mojue to his son by Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, ranking first as a duke.) Borrow it here, don't spray if you don't like it. ）

In the end, Zhao Zhen couldn't say any more, gritted his teeth, inhaled and instructed Wang Zeng: "The matter of Shiyi will be discussed in the inner court...... Kou Ji was rewarded, and there was also an inner court to discuss ......"

Kou Zhun pulled Kou Ji and thanked him again.

"Minister, thank you for your generous gifts."

After a deep bow.

Kou Zhun got up and bowed to everyone in the Yanfu Palace.

He took a step and walked towards the outside of Yanfu Palace.

Kou Ji hurriedly got up and arched his hand to Zhao Zhen, "Minister Kou Ji, retire first......

After the salute, he followed Kou Zhun's footsteps.

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Zhen slowly raised his hand, "Send Kou Gong ......"

Everyone in the Yanfu Palace saluted Kou Ji's back again.

"Congratulations to Kou Gong ......"

“……”

A sage was born.

It's just that this sage is not as ignorant as the legendary sages.

When Kou Ji's figure appeared on Kou Zhun's side, Kou Zhun aimed at Kou Ji's buttocks, which was a kick.

"Bang ......"

Kou Ji smiled bitterly and let Kou Zhun kick him, and said, "Grandfather, I'm also for your good......"

"The old man knows ......"

Kou Zhun pursed his lips and muttered unhappily.

Kou Ji said dissatisfiedly: "Then you still kick me?" ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji as he walked outside the palace, and snorted: "The old man's career is over." But you kid picked up a big bargain because of this, can't the old man kick you out of anger? ”

Kou Ji cried and laughed: "I didn't pick up any big bargains, did I?" The official family threw the power to reward me to the inner court. According to the temperament of the prince and the prince of Li, they will not give me too high a reward. ”

Kou Zhun paused and scolded: "You kid only knows how to stare at your own one-third of an acre of land, and don't look at anything else?" Didn't you plan the doorway inside the old man's reward? ”

Kou Ji raised his eyebrows, a puzzled expression.

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and snorted coldly: "The python robe, jade belt, and purple gold crown are all given...... The knighthood was also promoted to the highest position of a courtier...... As soon as the old man dies, a prince is indispensable......

When the time comes, it's not your kid who enjoys all the riches.

Could it be that the old man can crawl out of the coffin and share the wealth with you? ”

Kou Ji was stunned.

Just now, I only cared about the ugly faces of Liu E, Wang Qinruo and others, and didn't pay attention to Kou Zhun's reward.

Now that I heard Kou Zhun mention this, it was true.

With Kou Zhun's credit to the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is resignation or death, rewards are inevitable.

Now Zhao Zhen has promoted Kou Zhun's title to the highest place, and has also given him a python robe and jade belt that can only be equipped by a prince.

Once Kou Zhun drove the crane west, and went further, it would be the king.

As for whether there will be changes due to the change of the throne, Kou Ji doesn't have to worry.

According to historical records, Zhao Zhen lived to be fifty-three years old and reigned for forty-one years.

It can be regarded as the longest-reigning emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen was able to live to be fifty-three years old under all kinds of poisons.

Now that Kou Ji has helped him avoid all kinds of poisons, he is afraid that he will get it longer.

But now is clearly not the time to care about that.

"Grandfather...... You're not upset......"

Kou Ji cautiously accompanied Kou Zhun and asked tentatively.

Kou Zhun pouted, "What's upset?" ”

"Not sad?"

"Sad...... A little...... The official family was sad because of the old man's departure, and the old man felt very uncomfortable. ”

“……”

Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said tentatively: "From now on, you will not be the master who is above 10,000 people under one person...... Don't you feel anything in your heart? ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji with disdain, "How should the old man feel, grief-stricken?" Crying liver and intestines? ”

Seeing that Kou Zheng was not sad because he had left the center of power, Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Kou Zhun would get angry and get sick because he had removed his phase.

Koji smiled dryly, "I thought you would be very sad......"

Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and looked at Kou Ji like an idiot, "What's there to be sad about?" It is true that the old man has left the center of power. But the official family gave the old man something, haven't you heard? ”

"What's the point?"

"I'll talk about it later."

“……”

The grandfather and grandson hurriedly left the palace and returned to the Kou Mansion.

Ran all the way to the study.

After Kou Zhun retired from all the housekeepers and maids who were serving inside and outside the study, he said to Kou Ji in a quiet tone: "Do you know what is the most valuable gift given by the official family when the old man is given today?" ”

Kou Ji sat opposite Kou Zhun and muttered, "Zhenguo Gong? ”

Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and said in a heavy tone: "It's the Son of Heaven Sanyi, and that jade plate." The three instruments of the Son of Heaven, that is the honor guard of the Son of Heaven. In other words, wherever the old man goes, his status is equal to that of the official family.

That jade plate can be passed in any place up and down the Great Song Dynasty.

That is to say, the old man can go wherever he wants. ”

Kou Ji was puzzled and said, "Is there any explanation?" ”

Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and snorted, "Wherever the Son of Heaven goes, do you think there is room for others to speak?" ”

Kou Ji opened his mouth wide in a daze, "The power is so great, fake, right?" ”

Kou Zhun snorted coldly: "If you don't learn, you can't do it...... How can the things given by the officials be faked without other constraints? In the past, the imperial court gave the king's command flag, and that one was put on many constraints before receiving the flag.

Although you can borrow some of the power of the Son of Heaven, you also have to abide by many constraints.

But do you see that the official family has any restraints on the old man? ”

Kou Ji gasped.

"Isn't that side by side with the official family, this is ...... worth it"

Kou Zhun snorted: "This is also the reason why the old man is not sad or sad after his resignation. Because the old man found that after the old man resigned, his power was greater than before. ”

Kou Ji said in disbelief: "Then why didn't I see the Manchu Dynasty civil and military stop?" It stands to reason that if the official family wants to give you so much authority, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty should come forward to stop it.

The Queen Mother, Wang Qinruo and others shouldn't be indifferent? ”

Kou Zhun skimmed Kou Ji and said, "That's because you only see the good, but you don't see the bad." Although the old man has gained more power, it is difficult for him to show his power in front of others.

If you want to use the power in your hand to interfere in the government affairs, you have to ask the official family more or less, or hand over documents to the inner court.

Moreover, it is not allowed to interfere in the government affairs frequently, otherwise it will cause the impeachment of the Manchu civil and military forces.

The official family gave me more power, but the old man couldn't be pampered and arrogant, and gave full play to the power in his hands.

This is the way of being a minister, you have to study hard. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There is still such a saying...... I was negligent...... I just want you to resign, so as to avoid the calculations of the Queen Mother and others, and to gain the greatest power.

I didn't expect such a big constraint. ”

Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji, and suddenly grinned, "It's rare that you kid miscalculated, the old man won't scare you, and the old man will tell you the truth." ”
