Kou Zhun, Li Di was also stunned when he heard this.
After the two looked at each other, Li Diwen said angrily: "How can you beg for bones at this time?"
Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Koo Ji's proposal to beg for bones.
Kou Zhun had a thoughtful look on his face. He raised his hand to stop Li Di's complaint, glanced at Kou Ji, and said in deep thought: "Tell me carefully..."
Kou Ji glanced at the two of them and simply expressed his thoughts.
"Those officials in the court who depended on my grandfather for their survival had their roots in my grandfather. Therefore, my grandfather's position in the court was very important. My grandfather's position in the court was stable, so they were naturally safe. If something happened to my grandfather, they would definitely kill the monkey tree.
scattered.
Therefore, what we have to do now is to preserve my grandfather's position in the court.
As long as your position, grandpa, is stable, even if the Queen and Ding Xiang take action, they will only occupy one or two important positions.
At the end of the day, you have to make the decision on important matters.
After your body recovers, these lost weights can also be regained."
Kou Zhun was thoughtful after hearing Kou Ji's words.
But Li Di shouted: "We are already begging for bones, so talking about preserving our status is sheer nonsense."
Kou Ji smiled dryly and said nothing.
Kou Zhun shook his head, glanced at Li Di, and said softly: "Shu Xiu, you didn't understand what Ji'er meant."
The first is to show closeness, and the second is to highlight the identity of the scholar.)
Li Di curled his lips and muttered: "He asked you to beg for bones and asked you to resign. What else can it mean besides this?"
Kou Zhun glared at Li Di and said quietly: "The begging bones that Ji'er said have a profound meaning. You were so angry with the Queen and Ding Wei that you forgot that there are many ways in the begging bones."
Li Di was stunned and looked at Kou Zhun with a questioning look on his face.
Kou Zhun sighed: "Ji'er asked me to hand over the memorial of begging for the bones, just to show my attitude, not really to ask me to resign. Now I am sick and unable to go to the court to manage the government, but I occupy the prime minister's office.
position of execution.
If I don't go out for a whole day, probably no one in the court will say anything.
But if I am bedridden for a long time, someone will definitely scold me for occupying the latrine and not taking a shit.
By then, impeachment will definitely be inevitable.
Once half of the courtiers in the court impeach me, I will have no shame in remaining in the position of prime minister.
But it would be different if a memorial begging for the bones was submitted in advance."
After Kou Zhun's explanation, Li Di probably figured out Kou Ji's purpose of asking Kou Zhun to beg for bones, but he still couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference?"
Kou Zhun was delighted, "It's a big difference... This is called retreating to advance."
Kou Zhun smiled and said: "What is my identity? Prime Minister! I handed over the memorial of begging for bones. The only ones qualified to approve are the officials. If the officials don't nod, my position will be as secure as a mountain."
The Queen and Ding Wei said that even if they wanted to depose me, there was nothing they could do."
Kou Zhun paused for a moment and then said: "What's more important is that I handed over the memorial begging for the bones, which is equivalent to expressing my position to the civil and military officials of the court, saying that I have no attachment to power.
In this case, even if I occupy the position of Prime Minister, others can't say anything.
Even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty want to impeach me, they still have to weigh it carefully."
After Kou Zhun said this, he smiled and asked Kou Ji, "Are you right?"
Kou Ji nodded heavily and added: "We are here to think hard about countermeasures. No matter how much we think about it, it is useless. It is better to throw this problem out and throw it to the Queen and Prime Minister Ding to make it difficult for them."
The smile on Kou Zhun's face became even stronger. He looked at Li Di and said, "How about my grandson?"
Li Di glanced at Kou Zhun, then glanced at Kou Ji, curled his lips and said: "That's good, that's good, but have you ever thought about what if the officials approve Brother Kou's memorial to beg for his body?"
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and signaled that he should answer.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and said: "The prince is young, and the queen has shown such a strong desire for power. Unless the official family is willing to see the empress appear, it is impossible for him to let my grandfather leave the court at this time."
Hearing this, Li Di nodded slowly and praised: "You boy, you are so smart. You have only been an official for a few months, and you have already figured out everything in the court."
Kou Ji smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "You are so complimentary..."
After a pause, Kou Ji added: "Actually, the memorial that my grandfather handed over to beg for the bones cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. This is just a temporary measure. If I really want to keep my grandfather's status, I have to think of another strategy."
When Kou Zhun and Li Di heard this, they looked at Kou Ji in astonishment.
They didn't understand what Kou Ji meant.
It was impossible for Zhao Heng to let Kou Zhun leave the court at this time.
Since Zhao Heng will not let Kou Zhun leave the court, what else is there to worry about Kou Zhun's status?
Kou Ji saw the two of them staring at him blankly, hesitating again and again, and whispered something.
"The palace is in the hands of the queen, and the official family is always under the care of the queen... If she..."
Before Kou Ji could finish speaking, Kou Zhun and Li Di both shook their heads.
Li Di said loudly: "It's impossible..."
Although Kou Ji didn't finish what he said, both Kou Zhun and Li Di understood the meaning of Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji was worried that Liu E would use Zhao Heng's name to correct the imperial edict and depose Kou Zhun from the position of prime minister.
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and snorted coldly: "If she really dares to do this, I won't mind leading troops into the palace to go to Qing Jun's side."
Kou Ji opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say what was in his heart.
Kou Zhun and Li Di were resolute, obviously feeling that it would be impossible for Liu E to do this as long as they were around.
But Kou Ji, who is familiar with history, knows that this is what Liu E did in the history books.
According to historical records, Liu E deposed Kou Zhun through corrective edicts, and sent him to prison again and again, and finally sent him to Leizhou, letting him die in a foreign land.
"It's better to be on guard..."
Kou Ji reminded him.
Kou Zhun said nonchalantly: "I know, you go help me prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a memorial."
Kou Ji could tell from Kou Zhun's attitude that Kou Zhun didn't take his words to heart at all.
He stood up helplessly, cupped his hands, and exited the bedroom.
When he left the room, he found Kou Zhong guarding the door.
Kou Ji ordered Kou Zhong to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Kou Ji himself went to the guest room to inform Wang Shu and others.
After Wang Shu and others learned that Kou Zhun was awake, they swarmed towards Kou Zhun's bedroom.
Kou Ji didn't follow him in. He didn't like seeing a group of people sighing around Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhong finished delivering pen, ink, paper and inkstone and appeared outside the door.
