Kou Qing heard Su Shi's words and was silent for a while. His eyes fell on the group of scholars who were paying homage to the literary saints. He watched those scholars kneeling devoutly in front of the saints.
Kou Qing suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, "You're right, I can't refuse something that comes naturally to me."
The goal that most scholars strive for in their lives is to become successful in literature and martial arts and become an emperor.
Even those who are unwilling to sell goods to the Imperial Family will still be in awe of the Imperial Family. When the Imperial Family needs it, they will help and it is difficult for them to refuse. The price of refusal is quite high.
Kou Qing was different from them all. He was born into an imperial family.
Therefore, the pursuits and goals of most scholars have nothing to do with him.
But he also has responsibilities he has to bear.
Just like what Zhao Yao said before when he came to his senses, he was destined to inherit the Qing Kingdom and take on everything in the Qing Kingdom.
After Su Shi saw the self-deprecating look on Kou Qing's face, he said with a bright smile: "Have you thought clearly?"
Kou Qing nodded.
Su Shi continued to ask: "When will you go back?"
Kou Qing looked at Su Shi and said, "You don't want to see me that much?"
Su Shi smiled bitterly, "I would like to have a nice drink with you, but my sister has already sent me three letters within half a year.
If I don't think of any way to persuade you to go back, I'm afraid she will come over by boat herself.
When she gets here, it won't be you who will be troubled, but us two brothers."
Hearing this, Kou Qing was startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter. After laughing for a long time, Kou Qing said to Su Shi: "Why do I feel so comfortable when I hear someone is giving you a hard time?"
Su Shi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "You are sick and you need to be cured."
Kou Qing laughed loudly again.
After Kou Qing laughed, Su Shi took Kou Qing into the Confucian Temple, paid homage to the statue of Kou, and then took Kou Qing to the Yamen of Linhai Dufu.
Su Jingxian seemed to have known for a long time that Kou Qing and Su Shi would arrive, so he arranged a banquet for the first time in the Yamen of Linhai Governor's Mansion.
The three brothers sat together, drank wine and talked happily all night.
The next day.
Su Shi sent Kou Qing to the dock.
There is already a ship waiting at the pier.
The captain on the ship was Zhang Zhong, an old acquaintance of Kou Qing.
When Kou Qing said goodbye, he hugged Su Shi.
Su Shi returned the gift and said: "Fate cannot be avoided. If you are unwilling to accept fate, many people will sacrifice their lives for your wrong choice.
But compared to others, you are lucky.
Because you have a good grandfather and a good grandfather.
They paved the way for you a long time ago.
You don't have to be stuck in that position your whole life.
You only need to have a son with your sister, and then raise the son to be a man, and you will be able to escape from that position and become a free agent."
Kou Qing nodded heavily, indicating that he had taken note of Su Shi's instructions.
He said no more and got on the ship.
As soon as we got on the boat, we saw Zhang Zhong's face full of smiles and a look of pleasure.
Zhang Zhong said a lot of compliments, saying things like "you can't see the mountain with your eyes".
Kou Qing didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhong's flattering words. He just raised his foot and kicked Zhang Zhong hard.
There are some things that Kou Qing may not be able to see clearly when he is in the game.
But once out of the game, he immediately saw clearly.
You can even see it more clearly than others.
When Zhang Zhong took him to the Linhai Governor's Mansion more than half a year ago, he knew his identity, but he pretended not to know and acted with him all the way.
Kou Qing gave him an advantage by giving him a good kick.
After kicking him, he stared at Zhang Zhong dissatisfied and asked, "Whose are you?"
Zhang Zhong rubbed the kick wound on his leg and said with a wry smile: "My two sons are now the royal guards of the kingdom."
Kou Qing put his hand on his forehead and didn't want to speak anymore.
Zhang Zhong's two sons have become his father's bodyguards, so Zhang Zhong is obviously his father's son too.
If he hadn't visited various places in the Northern Wasteland in the past six months and seen all kinds of different soldiers and horses, he would have almost been deceived by Zhang Zhong.
Among the soldiers and horses of various families, Qingguo's soldiers and horses are not the strongest.
But the combat effectiveness of Qing's soldiers and horses must be the strongest.
Because the Qingguo soldiers and horses have always been equipped with firearms that are one generation more advanced than others.
Zhang Zhong and his men are undoubtedly equipped with advanced firearms.
Kou Qing has also seen with his own eyes the deterrent that firearms can bring to traditional martial arts masters.
Not only did he witness the use of firearms to kill Taoists with high martial arts skills in the Taoist Palace, but he also saw some traditional martial arts masters and firearms practicing in each family's territory.
As strong as Di Qing, when being pointed at by five firearms, he could only temporarily avoid their sharp edges.
How could Chen Lin, an old guy, board the Qingguo ship openly in front of nearly a hundred warriors armed with firearms?
The Song Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty did not interfere in each other's internal affairs.
The higher the status of a person, the more things they need to produce.
If a dominant eunuch like Chen Lin wants to board the Qing Kingdom's ship, he must at least obtain the warrants from Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
Otherwise, Zhang Zhong could refuse him boarding.
Kou Qing and Zhao Yao were in such a hurry when they fled home that Chen Lin had no way to go to Nanhuang first to ask for the warrants from Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji.
So the fact that he was able to appear on the Qingguo ship was obviously due to Zhang Zhong's release.
Kou Qing understood one thing after seeing the attitude of the veterans of the Qing Kingdom towards the officials of the Song Dynasty.
It was simply impossible for the officials of the Song Dynasty to gain favor from the people of the Qing Dynasty military.
Unless someone from the top of the Qing Kingdom speaks in advance.
Obviously, Zhang Zhong let Chen Lin on board because he benefited from the upper management.
Zhang Zhong is obviously a person of status.
Since Zhang Zhong is a person of status, Kou Qing does not need to be polite to him.
So on the way back, Kou Qing occupied the captain's cabin like an uncle.
Sitting comfortably on Qingguo's big ship, he crossed the ocean and returned to Qingguo.
After several months, Kou Qing returned to Sunrise Pier in Qingguo.
When he got off the boat, he saw his wife Su Zhen and Su Xiaomei, standing on the dock waiting for him with a smile.
Kou Qing cheered, rushed off the boat, picked up his wife, and left the dock.
After being affectionate with his wife for a few days, Kou Qing returned to Qingdu with his wife Su Zhen.
later.
Kou Qing never left Qingdu again.
Every day he was either in the palace chatting about poetry and poetry with his wife, or watching politics with his father Kou Tianci.
Five years passed like this.
After Kou Tianci asked Kou Ji for instructions, he passed on the position of leader of the Qing Kingdom to Kou Tianci.
In the same year, Emperor Zhao Run of the Song Dynasty passed his throne to his son Zhao Yao.
Liu Boxu, the leader of the Yang Kingdom, also passed his throne to his son Liu Yong.
Since then, the abdication system seems to have formed a routine.
Since then, the throne seems to be no longer a symbol of supremacy, it is more like a job.
After the three newly born old guys left their positions, they led people to escape from the capital city they had occupied for decades as if they were running for their lives.
They took their darling wives and concubines, and their majestic soldiers and horses, in large ships, and headed west.
The new leader of the Qing Kingdom, Kou Tianci, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yao, and the leader of the Yang Kingdom, Liu Yong, were a little dumbfounded after learning the whereabouts of the three newly born old guys.
What the three little guys are thinking seems to be what their father is thinking.
They want to retire and bully niggers.
They guys got the first chance to bully the niggas.
Some people may ask, why don't Kou Tianci and others go to the Northern and Southern Wastelands?
Without him, they can't afford to offend the two immortals guarding Southern Wasteland!
