Although the imperial court has been promoting the emphasis on civility and suppression of military affairs, most of the military heroes in Bianjing City have long since transformed into relatives of the emperor.
If they really formed a group and went against the civil servants, the civil servants would not have an easy time either.
Therefore, there is no need for civil servants to quarrel with them over tattooing.
Therefore, it has become a privilege for the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army not to need tattoos.
After Zhu Neng listened to Kou Ji's words, he looked at him in astonishment, "Just for a department?"
Kou Ji nodded seriously.
Zhu Neng laughed out loud and said, "Is he a relative of yours?"
Kou Ji shook his head.
Zhu Neng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You, you, you underestimated Zhu, and you also underestimated your own face."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "He is still young now, and suddenly he is in a high position, which may destroy him."
Zhu Neng nodded and said: "That's right. Without going through hardships, a good person may become a loser. Let him report to the military camp outside the city tomorrow. Dragon Guard or Divine Guard, he can choose at will."
"Thank you very much, Uncle Zhu."
"It's a small thing, why are you so polite? Come and eat some food..."
Zhu Neng waved his hand and pulled Kou Ji to start eating and drinking.
Kou Ji couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so he ate and drank with him.
Of course, they didn't eat much.
Because there is still a big stewed insect yet to be served.
By the time the stewed insect was brought up, it was already an hour and a half later.
After eating the stewed insects, Kou Ji left Zhu's Mansion with a round belly.
Zhu Neng not only sent him to the door, but also asked someone to pick out a box of treasures and sent someone to deliver it to Kou Ji's mansion.
Kou Ji wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist Zhu Neng's enthusiasm, so he had to accept it.
Kou Ji sent an entourage to take the people from Zhu's house to carry the box back to his house first.
He led the rest of his entourage and walked around to another mansion.
Compared to the Zhu Mansion, the new mansion he arrived in seemed particularly magnificent, and even three points more glorious than the Kou Mansion.
At the door, you always look at people through your nostrils.
That is to say, after seeing Kou Ji's waist card, he took the noble head.
"Young master of the Kou Mansion, I have come to visit the Cao Mansion. You are indeed a rare visitor. Please wait a moment. I will go in and report."
Menzi led Kou Ji to sit down in the living room at the door, and after inviting the maids to wait on him, he returned to the house to report.
Not long after, Menzi led a man into the living room.
Kou Ji saw that he was an acquaintance. He stood up slowly and saluted, "Kou Ji has met Jiexi."
Cao Xu waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite. I didn't teach you much, and I'm no longer your teacher. Just call me Cao Xu."
Kou Ji chuckled and said: "The etiquette cannot be discarded..."
Cao Xu did not continue to quarrel with Kou Ji on this issue, but asked straight to the point: "The Kou Mansion and the Cao Mansion rarely interact with each other. What is the important matter for you to come to my Cao Mansion?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "I want to ask Commander Cao for a favor."
Cao Xu was stunned and said in astonishment: "You want to see my father?"
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "You are Cao Shuai's son."
Cao Xu was even more surprised, "You don't know my identity?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said frankly: "I haven't asked about it..."
Cao Xu stared at Kou Ji and muttered: "Before, you helped my father go to Beijing, and my Cao Mansion owed you a favor. Now that you come to ask for this favor, my Cao Mansion will naturally not stop you."
"please!"
"Thank you!"
Cao Xu took Kou Ji around the Cao Mansion and arrived at a quiet garden.
Cao Wei was lying on a beech bed in the garden, enjoying the breeze and dozing off with his eyes closed.
Cao Xu asked Kou Ji to wait for a moment, but he stepped forward and ignored him.
"father……"
"father……"
When Cao Wei heard the call, he suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over and got out of bed, stared at his eyes and shouted: "Is there an enemy coming?"
Cao Xu hurriedly said: "Dad, this is in Bianjing City, not at the border."
Cao Wei was stunned, exhaled, and said with a wry smile: "I forgot about it, I thought I was at the border. My father has been at the border all his life, and he is used to being woken up when the enemy invades.
I suddenly returned to Bianjing City, and I can't change anything."
Cao Xu sighed: "It will always change..."
Cao Wei nodded slowly, glanced at Kou Ji, and said blankly: "Are there guests?"
Cao Xu nodded, "Kou Ji came to ask for a favor."
Cao Wei was stunned for a moment and then said with a mouthful: "My father is able to return to Beijing to recuperate, and it is all thanks to him. He came to ask for favors, so it is natural that he should be invited to come."
Cao Xu nodded and asked Kou Ji to come to Cao Wei's bed.
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said, "Kou Ji, I have met Cao Shuai."
Cao Wei smiled and said: "Don't be so outspoken. If you don't mind, you can just call me Uncle Cao."
Kou Ji was stunned.
Cao Wei was also stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud: "I was the one who was abrupt. There is a difference between civil and military affairs..."
Before Cao Wei finished speaking, Kou Jisha smiled and said: "Uncle Cao..."
Cao Wei looked stunned.
Kou Ji explained: "It is true that there is a difference between civil and military affairs. But Cao Yi and I are classmates. From his point of view, it is reasonable to call you uncle."
Cao Wei grinned and said: "That makes sense..."
After laughing, Cao Wei said: "The scene just now made you laugh."
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "There is no laughter, only respect. The fact that you keep the military affairs in mind when you sleep shows how much you care about the military affairs. If there were more people like you in the Song Dynasty, why worry?
The border troubles will not be eliminated.”
Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Are you praising me?"
Kou Ji nodded seriously.
Cao Wei looked at him and said with a smile: "You can be considered a civil servant. Civil servants are very arrogant and never show disgrace to our military achievements. Are you asking for something when you are so polite to me?"
Kou Ji did not hide anything, and said frankly: "I have a new talent, and I would like to ask Uncle Cao to help train him."
Cao Wei was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, he said in shock: "You want me to help you teach others?"
Kou Ji nodded.
Cao Xu interjected from the side: "My Cao family's art of war is never spread to outsiders."
Cao Wei glared at him, frowned and said, "Shut up!"
Cao Xu reluctantly shut his mouth.
Cao Wei looked at Kou Ji and asked, "What kind of talent is worthy of you wasting my favor on him?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The general's talent..."
Cao Wei frowned and said, "How do you determine that he is a talented general?"
Kou Ji said seriously: "You are gifted and a good material for martial arts training. The person in charge of the equipment wanted it, but I didn't give it to you."
Cao Wei nodded slowly and said: "To be valued by the equipment supervisor, you must be talented. Being a general is naturally not difficult. But being a commander requires more than just martial arts."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "That's why I ask you to help me train him."
Cao Wei opened his eyes, was stunned, and laughed out loud: "According to you, whether he can be handsome depends on whether I can teach him well?"
Kou Ji grinned and said nothing.
Cao Wei pointed at Kou Ji, nodded, and sighed: "Well, who told me to owe you a favor? This debt of favor must be repaid sooner or later, and it is better to pay it back sooner than later.
Bring the person over tomorrow and I'll meet him.
I have to give him an exam. If he can pass my exam, then I will accept him as my apprentice.
