In Chui Gong Hall, some people may regret it, some may sigh secretly, and some may feel confused.
His face doesn't even look good.
Zhao Zhen chased Kou Ji out of Chui Gong Hall and chased him for dozens of feet.
Zhao Zhen shouted with heartache, "Fourth brother..."
Kou Ji, who was walking quickly, shook slightly, stopped, and turned his back to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen did not dare to chase anymore, for fear that Kou Ji would leave. He stared at Kou Ji's back and shouted, "I never doubted you... I have my own reasons..."
Zhao Zhen no longer called himself me in front of Kou Ji, but called himself me.
Kou Ji turned his back to Zhao Zhen and said softly: "You should be suspicious... It is the nature of an emperor to be suspicious by nature. You are not wrong..."
A trace of tears welled up in Zhao Zhen's eyes, and he shook his head slowly.
Kou Ji raised his head, stared at the sky, and said with some regret: "It's time for me to go, and be your emperor...next time when you make the layout, please find some ginseng for details.
Muskets and artillery are very important to us in the Song Dynasty. You and I are watching. There are many people who want to use muskets and artillery. One or two people defected with muskets, which is understandable.
But it's hard to understand why hundreds of people defected with muskets and artillery.
Our military camp in the Song Dynasty is not a sieve. When will we be able to let people come and go as they please?
If the people behind the scenes can come and go as they please, it means that the people behind the scenes have the authority to control the Forbidden Army.
It was at that time that a suspicion arose in my mind.
Today Zhang Lun came to my house to persuade me to surrender. He said a lot of things, but I didn't care. Only when he finally said that someone in the Forbidden Army had defected to him did I sense something was wrong.
The Forbidden Army was organized and rearranged by you and me.
Almost all military lieutenant generals are promoted and trained by us.
Prince Zhao Run may not be able to instigate rebellion against them, let alone a virtuous concubine and a fifth prince.
At first I thought you were being coerced.
So I took people into the palace.
Just when I arrived at the palace gate and saw the civil and military reactions of the court, and when I entered the palace and heard Chen Lin's rhetoric, I knew that everything was planned by you.
The official family is gone, how can the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty quietly wait for me to break the palace gate?
The official family is all gone, but Chen Lin is still alive?"
Zhao Zhen had tears in his eyes and whispered: "Fourth brother, Zhang Lun has produced too much evidence. Your troops are enough to sweep across the Liao Dynasty, and the civil and military officials of the whole court are afraid.
If I don’t test you, the civil and military officials of the entire court will not believe that you are still loyal to the Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji sighed and said: "Zhao Zhen, you have short-sightedness. You and I, our monarchs and ministers, stand at the top of the sky, why do we need to explain to anyone?"
Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth, "Fourth brother, I... was wrong..."
Kou Ji slowly shook his head, "You are right. As a ruler, when you find that your important ministers have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is not an exaggeration to test him. I can understand.
But you should not use me, you should not use me to help you intimidate the civil and military officials of the court, nor should you use me to help you intimidate those restless concubines and princes.
I have never rejected you. Whatever you want, just ask and I will give it to you.
But you didn't say it this time.
Those who can be used are subordinates, not brothers.
You took advantage of me and hurt my feelings.
That's me, if it were anyone else, I would have already conquered the world."
Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and said quietly: "Zhao Zhen, I still say that I will not let anyone down. But you took advantage of me and hurt our feelings. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty did not believe me and ruined all the feelings between me and them.
point.
I thought I, Kou Ji, had been in business for half my life and had friends all over the world.
But looking back, I saw that it was only two or three years ago.
But...that's enough..."
"..."
"Zhao Zhen, the human heart cannot withstand temptation, so use it sparingly in the future. Not everyone has a good temper like me. If you can't trust it, kill it; if you can trust it, entrust it with important tasks..."
"Zhao Zhen, I will be forty after the Chinese New Year. I have been busy working for more than 20 years, and I have done everything I promised you..."
"See you later..."
"..."
Kou Ji talked a lot to himself, raising his head and letting tears roll down the corners of his eyes.
The moment tears fell to the ground, Koji took steps and walked out.
When he entered the palace gate in the past, Kou Ji was surrounded by all the princes.
I left the palace today, alone.
From now on, no one with the surname Kou or Ji Changsheng will appear in the Imperial Palace of the Song Dynasty.
"Fourth brother!"
Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
Su Xun, Bao Zheng, Di Qing, and Wang Shu appeared behind Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji when they were talking.
Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing also burst into tears.
Wang Shu looked very embarrassed.
With tears in her eyes, Su Xun walked up to Zhao Zhen, bowed her hands, and then ran quickly to chase Kou Ji's back.
The same is true for Bao Zheng and Di Qing.
Only Wang Shu stood there at a loss.
Zhao Zhen stared at Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing chasing Kou Ji with envy. He also wanted to chase Kou Ji without any scruples like Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing.
But he couldn't move his legs.
Kou Ji walked out of the royal road where Chui Gong Hall was located, and Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing chased after him with red eyes.
Kou Ji saw the three of them and sighed: "Why do you bother?"
What Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing did today is no different from resigning.
They are all people whose names go down in history and will make great achievements in the future.
Now that he had given up everything for him, Kou Ji, Kou Ji felt a bit regretful.
Su Xun raised his head proudly, "I am ashamed to be in the company of villains!"
Bao Zheng also looked proud, "I don't like being treated as a fool!"
Di Qing does not have as complex thoughts as Su Xun and Bao Zheng. His reason is simple, "You are my brother!"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "That's all. Since you have made up your mind, go back and pack your things and follow me to Handi."
Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing nodded one after another.
Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and led the three of them out of Donghua Gate.
Outside Donghua Gate, there is a sea of people.
Each of them held a sword and stared at Kou Ji quietly.
Kou Ji shouted loudly, "Pack your things, let's go to Han and settle down."
Everyone outside Donghua Gate bowed and saluted.
"Here!"
After they saluted, Kou Ji nodded and walked towards the bamboo courtyard.
Liu Heng had been guarding outside the imperial city just now, but now he saw Kou Ji coming out and hurriedly followed him.
"Fourth brother, what's going on in the palace?"
Liu Heng asked doubtfully.
Kou Ji smiled calmly, "The officials were afraid that I would rebel, so they set out to test me."
Liu Heng's eyes widened and he shouted: "I have rebelled long ago, how can I wait until now?"
Kou Ji smiled and scolded: "Okay, don't be poor, go back and pack your things, and tell your people by the way, it's time for us to leave."
Liu Heng scratched his head and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Immediately, immediately..."
Liu Heng said in shock: "So fast?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled, "I'm still too slow for this."
When Liu Heng heard this, he immediately understood what Kou Ji was thinking.
Kou Ji doesn't want to stay in Bianjing now, not even for a moment longer.
After Liu Heng sent Kou Ji back to Zhuyuan, he immediately went to send a message to his people.
Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing went home to clean up.
Kou Ji ordered the guards at his house to pack up the remaining things in the bamboo courtyard and prepare to leave the bamboo courtyard.
When leaving.
Kou Ji sent someone to take Zhang Lun in front of him.
Kou Ji stared at Zhang Lun who was being restrained and kneeling on the ground, and asked doubtfully, "Dragon and tiger are fighting, what are you doing as a grasshopper? Do you really think you can change the world?"
"Pooh……"
Zhang Lun spat and stared at Kou Ji fiercely, "At least I can drive a wedge between you and the official family. From now on, you will never get the favor of the official family again."
Kou Ji laughed and said: "It seems that you have already guessed some results. But after all, you still underestimated me, Kou Ji. If I, Kou Ji, want to do something, why do I need other people's favor?
No wonder you've been stuck at level four your whole life.
That's all you have.
Do you think you are the only one who knows that I, Kou Ji, have all the power in the world?
Who among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty doesn’t know that I, Kou Ji, have the power of heaven?
But why are they silent?
Because they knew that if it really caused a fight between dragon and tiger, they could not afford the consequences, and neither could the Song Dynasty.
You are just a fool, a fool who only cares about your own happiness but doesn't care about the Song Dynasty."
Zhang Lun stared and wanted to speak, but Kou Ji didn't give him another chance.
Kou Ji blocked Zhang Lun's mouth with a handkerchief and ordered the guards: "Hang him at the door. Whether he lives or dies depends on his fate."
The guard agreed, took Zhang Lun to the gate of the Bamboo Garden, and hung Zhang Lun on the gate of the Bamboo Garden.
After Zhang Lun was hung up at the gate of the bamboo courtyard, Kou Ji led the guards and left the Bianjing city with the things in the bamboo courtyard.
When the carriage arrived at Yu Street, they saw familiar figures wandering on both sides of the street.
Fan Zhongyan, Yang Wenguang, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo, Tang Jie, Zhang Fangping...
Almost all the civil and military officials in the court arrived.
After they knew that Kou Ji had decided to leave, they rushed here to see Kou Ji off, but they had no face to talk to him.
As if he hadn't seen them, Kou Ji let the groom drive the cart and wandered away from Yu Street.
Kou Ji left Yu Street and walked out of Bianjing City along Xinzheng Gate.
When they arrived near Tiansheng Hall, they saw Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong waiting quietly by the roadside.
Kou Ji ordered the groom to stop the carriage and waved to Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong rushed forward to greet him and saluted.
"gentlemen!"
Kou Ji waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.
"There was an explosion in the equipment workshop before. Was there any damage to the Tiansheng Hall?"
Wang Anshi cupped his hands and said: "A doctor knocked over a candle in a panic and burned some handwritten books. The loss was not too great and there were no casualties."
Kou Ji nodded and asked, "How was the copying of the Dashi books?"
Wang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "The number is too large. Thousands of us have been copying it for so long, and we haven't even finished copying one percent."
Kou Ji smiled and consoled him: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time. After you have copied all the food books, you can take the scientific examination.
With your talents and learning, you will definitely be selected.
But I cannot help you pave the way for your official career."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong were stunned.
Wang Anshi said hurriedly: "Sir, doesn't he ask students to spread new knowledge?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "That was before. From now on, if you want to do it, you can do it. If you don't want to do it, you can't do it."
Wang Anshi asked in confusion: "Why?"
Kou Ji pointed at Bianjing City and laughed in a low voice: "Because those idiots inside only know how to guard the classics of various scholars, but don't know the value of other knowledge.
It has been a long time since the Dashi books were shipped back.
No one among them paid much attention to it.
I finally understood that if I want to impart knowledge to them, I have to make them pay tuition.
If they don’t pay tuition, they don’t know how precious knowledge is.”
Wang Anshi sighed secretly.
What Kou Ji said is true. Before he came into contact with Dashi books and the books compiled by Kou Ji, he thought that the Song Dynasty was the world.
Now that he came into contact with the books compiled by Dashi and Kou Ji, he realized that the Song Dynasty was just a corner of the world.
Kou Ji wanted to lead the Song Dynasty to open its eyes to the world.
But many people in the Song Dynasty seemed unwilling.
Zeng Gong also felt the same, so his face didn't look good.
Kou Ji smiled and said to them: "Don't be downcast. When I sort out these books, sir, and sell the books at high prices, I will give you a share."
Then you will be able to eat and drink without any worries."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong smiled bitterly.
Money is not what they want.
They have big goals and big ideals.
Kou Ji stretched out his hand and patted the two of them on the shoulders, "I'm going to Han Di, and I will leave you two houses in Han Di."
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong looked at Kou Ji reluctantly.
Kou Ji retracted his hand, "After copying the Dashi books, the original copy can be given to the people at Tianci Bank, and they will send the original copy to Han.
If you have any news to convey, you can also send it through Tianci Bank.
Earlier you accompanied me in destroying Bafang Jiaozi Shop and made a lot of money.
Enough for you to spend.
I won’t leave any money for you.”
After saying this, Kou Ji returned to the carriage and ordered the carriage to drive away.
Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong bowed deeply towards the carriage that was leaving.
When Kou Ji arrived at the Bear Garden in a carriage, it was already dark.
Xiang Yan and her entire family were waiting for him at the gate of the Bear Garden.
The lights in the bear park are brightly lit, as are the hundreds of households outside the bear park.
There was a faint roar of a bamboo bear.
When Kou Ji arrived at the gate of Xiongyuan, he did not get off the carriage, but opened the curtain of the carriage, smiled at Xiang Yan and said: "Take some gold and silver jewelry, as well as those ancient books, and go to Han to see your son.
The rest of the things will be handed over to the steward of the house for transportation.
There are many people in and outside the city going to Korea.
We have to leave some people to guide them."
After Xiang Yan heard what Kou Ji said, she stood there stunned for a long time, and then said with a look of surprise: "Removed?"
Ever since Kou Ji became a higher official, the dangers around him became more and more serious.
Although I am not happy to see the waves on weekdays.
But as Xiang Yan was Kou Ji's pillow, she knew in her heart that huge waves were brewing under the waves.
Xiang Yan was on tenterhooks all day long.
Now that Kou Ji is going to Korea, it means that he has resigned from all official positions.
The danger also quietly dissipated with the departure of the official position.
Xiang Yan is naturally happy.
From now on, she can live a peaceful life with Kou Ji.
Kou Ji smiled and nodded to Xiang Yan.
Xiang Yan said hurriedly: "Since you have unloaded it, why don't you stay one more night and leave tomorrow?"
Kou Ji laughed and said, "Si'er is eager!"
Xiang Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She knew clearly that Kou Ji was saying something against his will, but she still obeyed and said, "I will only obey the master's instructions."
Xiang Yan teased Kou Ji, then took her servant back to the bear garden and packed her things in a hurry.
Kou Ji asked for a light carriage and simple obedience, but Xiang Yan didn't bring much with her.
I only brought some money, books, and some foundations for the God-given bank.
There wasn't much money and other things, and they were all packed in one car.
There are quite a few books, enough to fill ten carts.
Kou Ji waited at the gate of Xiongyuan for a full hour before Xiang Yan packed her things.
During this period.
Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing took carriages one after another and took their wives and children to the gate of Xiongyuan.
All three of them are simple and easy-going people.
Most of the things should be handed over to the housekeeper and steward of the house for escort.
Su Xun brought some belongings and a dozen old servants.
Di Qing brought his wife, children, some food, and three hundred songs.
Bao Zheng's team is larger. If he were alone, he would only need an old servant and an ox cart.
But he also brought Zhao Xu with him, and Zhao Xu was pregnant, so the team was relatively larger.
There were more than 400 people and more than 30 carriages following the couple.
Bao Zheng was blessed after marrying Zhao Xu.
Although Zhao Xu no longer has the status of a princess, she still has a grand appearance.
In order to follow Bao Zheng to Korea, she bought a carriage as big as a house and sent a dozen people to clear the road ahead.
Zhao Xu was pregnant, and Bao Zheng originally wanted her to have the baby in Bianjing City.
But Zhao Xu insisted on following Bao Zheng to Korea.
Bao Zheng had no choice but to take her with him.
After all, all the food and clothing in the Bao Mansion now belong to Zhao Xu. Almost all of the Bao Mansion is under Zhao Xu's control, and most of the people in the house are also Zhao Xu's people.
So Bao Zheng can't stop what Zhao Xu wants to do.
In Kou Ji's words, "You are a low-income person, but you still want to be the eldest son of the house. What a beautiful idea you have..."
Zhao Xu exaggerated a bit, and Xiang Yan even more exaggerated.
Kou Ji looked astonished when he saw a palace-like carriage appearing in front of him.
The carriage has six wheels and three bearings. It is very luxuriously decorated and looks magnificent.
After Xiang Yan ordered the servants in the house to prepare the carriage, she saw Kou Ji's shocked face and laughed softly: "What? Do you think I've spent a lot on you?"
Kou Ji nodded honestly: "A bit..."
Xiang Yan smiled softly and whispered into Kou Ji's ear, "That girl Baoqing is also pregnant... She's already starting to show her pregnancy... Do you still think I'm exaggerated?"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively, "It's not an exaggeration at all!"
Xiang Yan covered her mouth and snickered a few times.
Princess Baoqing stood aside, watching Kou Ji look at her frequently, lowering her head in shame.
Kou Ji took the initiative and let Zhao Xu and Bao Qingyi move into the outrageously large carriage, and replaced the horses pulling the carriage with docile gelded horses.
Each horse is assigned a groom to prevent the horses from being frightened.
He also specially asked the bodyguards who had served as scouts in the house to ride their horses and drive ten miles to explore to ensure that they would not encounter any bumps and bruises along the way.
Then Kou Ji asked Xiang Yan to take Second Sister Cao, Kou Hui, and a group of children into the carriage prepared by Zhao Xu.
Kou Ji took Di Qing, Su Xun, and Bao Zheng into a carriage that could accommodate five people.
More than fifty scouts carried guns on their backs and rode on horses, marching ten miles ahead to explore the road.
More than three hundred people carried shovels on their backs, lit torches, and rode horses ahead to repair the potholes on the ground.
More than three thousand warriors guarded the carriage.
There were more than a thousand people escorting the carriage along the way.
A team of nearly five thousand people, lit with torches, formed a long queue and left the Bear Garden in a mighty manner.
We walked half a circle from Xinzheng Gate to Cao Gate in the east.
Then he saw Liu Heng waiting on the side of the avenue in a carriage larger than Zhao Xu's.
Liu Heng led not many people, only more than 500 people.
There are also three concubines he keeps outside, and three new children.
After the two sides came together.
Liu Heng left his concubine and child to Xiang Yan, and then pulled Kou Ji, Su Xun, Bao Zheng, and Di Qing into his carriage.
Although Wang Shu also left Chui Gong Hall with Kou Ji and the others during the day, he did not leave with Kou Ji and the others after all.
After the five people got together on the carriage, they started chatting happily.
The horse team drifted away amid the sound of their conversation.
On the New Song Dynasty Gate.
Zhao Zhen stood alone in front of the city gate building, watching the cavalry getting further and further away, with tears glistening in his eyes.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the concubines of the Sixth Palace stood guard on both sides of the city gate building, not daring to take a step closer to the city gate building.
Everyone stood so quietly, watching the cavalry disappear from their sight without moving a step.
It was late at night and the cold air dropped.
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and moved closer to Zhao Zhen, whispering: "Guan family, Kou Gong has gone far..."
Zhao Zhen ignored Chen Lin.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and then said: "The princes are still young and can't stand the cold."
Zhao Zhen said in a low voice: "Let the queen take the sixth concubine and the prince and princess back to the palace first."
Chen Lin nodded, "Well..."
After Chen Lin agreed, she quickly walked to Queen Cao and conveyed Zhao Zhen's will to Queen Cao.
Empress Cao asked Concubine Zhang Xian to take the concubines and princes of the Sixth Palace back to the palace first, while she stayed with Zhao Zhen.
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw that the concubines of the Sixth Palace were making moves, they thought that Zhao Zhen was going to return to the palace.
Someone took the opportunity to come forward and report: "The official family, when Kou Gong left, Zhang Lun, the magistrate of Yongzhou, was hung in front of the Zhufu gate. He has been hanging for several hours."
Zhao Zhen slowly turned around.
The man almost fell to the ground out of fright.
There was no emotion in Zhao Zhen's eyes. The moonlight cast into them, and two cold rays of light were faintly flickering.
"Are you pitying him?"
Zhao Zhen asked coldly.
The man shivered and stuttered: "I...I don't..."
Zhao Zhen glanced at the man and said in a nonchalant manner: "I don't remember, but the name of the magistrate of Yongzhou under my rule is Zhang Lun."
The man felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to say another word.
Since Zhao Zhen said that the magistrate of Yongzhou under the Song Dynasty was named Zhang Lun.
That means there is no such person in the Song Dynasty.
No one needs to care about this person's life or death.
Zhao Zhen fought at the New Song Gate all night long, and all the civil and military officials of the court stood beside him all night long.
When the sky turns fish belly white.
Zhao Zhen said quietly, "Make Prime Minister Kou Ji the leader of Korea... Forget it... Fourth brother doesn't like the word Korea, so let's change it to Qingguo.
Conferred Prime Minister Kou Ji as the Lord of Qing Kingdom.
Future generations should respect him.
Any violation will result in expulsion from the ancestral hall.
If you are disrespectful, you will be punished with swords and axes."
