Chapter 0143 Drugs (chapter two and one more chapter)
Kou Ji's words were shocking.
Kou Zhun was so shocked that he froze on the soft couch. Kou Zhong was so shocked that he collapsed on the ground. The servants holding lamps around him were so shocked that they wanted to run away.
"Little...young master..."
Kou Zhong collapsed on the ground and stared at Kou Ji in disbelief. He opened his mouth and only uttered four words.
He was so shocked that he was speechless.
"Snapped!"
"The traitor!"
Kou Zhun didn't speak, Kou Zhong didn't speak, and Kou Ji didn't speak either.
Kou Li, who had just come in from the door, was so frightened when he heard Kou Ji's words that he rushed in front of Kou Ji, raised his hand and slapped Kou Ji.
"You, you traitor, are you talking nonsense? Why don't you apologize to your grandfather?"
Kou Li slapped Kou Ji, and shouted in shock and anger.
Kou Ji felt something sweet in his mouth, and blood seemed to flow out of the corner of his mouth, but he didn't pay attention.
He turned around suddenly and glared at Kou Li with wide eyes.
Under the light, there seemed to be two flames burning in Kou Ji's eyes, which, coupled with his cannibalistic gaze, was particularly frightening.
Kou Li was not a strong person, so he was frightened by Kou Ji's gaze and took three steps back.
He pointed at Kou Ji with surprise and fear, and said with a trembling voice in disbelief: "You! You rebellious son, how dare you stare at me?"
Kou Ji withdrew his gaze from Kou Li and stopped paying attention to him, instead focusing on Kou Zhun.
Whether he could finish what he said in his heart depends on Kou Zhun, not Kou Li.
Kou Zhun understood the meaning in Kou Ji's eyes.
He also knew in his heart that if Kou Ji, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, suddenly said such rebellious and unfilial words, there would be consequences.
Although Kou Zhun was angry and had murderous thoughts in his heart, he was also curious about what Kou Ji would say after saying such rebellious and unfilial words.
Seeing Kou Li raising his hand to slap Kou Ji, Kou Zhun suddenly said: "You two, father and son, stop acting in front of me."
Kou Li was stunned, slapped Kou Ji's hand, and hung it in the air. He whined at Kou Zhun: "Dad, how dare my child act in front of you."
Kou Zhun paid no attention to him, but squinted his eyes and stared at Kou Ji. He said in a tone that showed no emotion or anger: "I have been an official for forty years and have heard countless praises. This is the first time that I have heard that someone
He said that I am a selfish person who is greedy for power.
I really want to hear how selfish I am and how I am greedy for power and position.
If you can explain why, I will spare your life.
If you can't tell me, I won't even let you go back to Huazhou."
Kou Zhun has been an official for many years, how can he be a good person?
Although he is upright in his daily life, he will not be stubborn when special measures are necessary.
Besides, according to the law, if Kou Ji couldn't give a reasonable answer, what he just said would be enough to be characterized as disobedience and unfilial piety.
Although the imperial court was tolerant towards prisoners, it was never lenient towards those who were disobedient and unfilial.
According to the laws of the imperial court, those who are disobedient and unfilial should be executed.
So Kou Zhun really wanted to kill Kou Ji, and no one else could help him to avenge him.
Kou Ji heard what Kou Zhun said, but he didn't speak yet.
Kou Li started to defend himself, "Dad, Ji'er is just talking nonsense. You must not take it seriously. He is probably insane..."
Kou Li hasn't finished speaking yet.
Kou Zhun was the first to speak out.
"you shut up!"
Kou Li shut his mouth suddenly, not daring to say another word.
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji, and Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji asked: "Grandpa only thought about dying after the incident was exposed. Have you ever thought that everyone in the Kou family and the Kou family in Huazhou would also be buried with you?"
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said coldly: "For the imperial court and for the Song Dynasty, I deserve to die."
Kou Ji asked again, "Even if there are hundreds of people in the Kou family and thousands of people in the Kou family in Huazhou, grandpa doesn't care. What about the people in the world? Grandpa, once you die, the queen and Ding Wei will definitely control the government and rule out the government."
alien.
At that time, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will be either treacherous and sycophantic, or sycophants, and there will be no upright people.
The people are bound to be in dire straits.
Once you die, you will be pure.
But when the time comes when the people of the world are in unspeakable suffering, who can they turn to to complain?”
When Kou Zhun heard this, his eyes narrowed to a slit. His mind was shaken, but he said: "Evil never prevails over good. This is an eternal truth. Even if a villain is arrogant for a while, it is difficult for him to be arrogant for the rest of his life."
Even if the people have to suffer, it will only be temporary.
Once the new king ascends the throne, he will naturally eliminate the traitors and restore peace and prosperity to the people."
Kou Ji shook his head and sighed: "Grandpa said it lightly, but have you ever thought about how painful the temporary suffering you mentioned will be? How many people will suffer because of this temporary suffering?
Death to hell.
Is ten thousand people too much?
Maybe it’s just a fraction…”
Kou Zhun was shocked and opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Kou Ji stared at him and mocked: "If so many people really died because of your fault, would you still be a loyal and good minister? Once you die, you will be clean. Even if you are framed by traitors now, after the new king takes charge, you will
I will also be grateful for your contribution, help you rehabilitate, and give you a more noble posthumous title.
Your reputation as a loyal and good minister will also shine through history and your name will be passed down through the ages.
But what about those people?
Who can rehabilitate them, and who can make them famous forever?
Are you carrying An Xin in the name of loyalty to countless dead souls?
Can you feel at ease when the name of loyalty and good deeds, which count countless people’s dead souls, is spread word of mouth and praised among the people?”
"Enough...enough..."
Kou Ji's words went straight to Kou Zhun's heart.
Kou Zhun had already felt regret and shame in his heart, and he did not dare to listen anymore.
Kou Ji's words broke the consistent thinking of all the civil and military officials in the court.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty believed that being loyal to officials and the Song Dynasty meant they were loyal and good ministers.
But what Kou Ji said was told to Kou Zhun.
There is also a kind of loyal ministers who are loyal to the people.
Kou Zhun refused to let Kou Ji continue speaking, but Kou Ji had no intention of shutting up. He continued: "Perhaps, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty felt that being loyal to the official family and the Song Dynasty was a loyal and good minister.
But he became a loyal minister of the official family and the Song Dynasty, but he suffered for the people.
Then why don't you let the officials sing your praises for you, but let the common people spread your name as a loyal minister?
It is clear that the people are suffering because of you, but they still praise you, don't they suffer a loss?"
"Enough! I said enough!"
Kou Zhun trembled and stopped Kou Ji from continuing.
Kou Jishaa smiled and said: "What's even more ridiculous is that the loyal and good officials may not be loyal and good. You just want to die yourself, but have you ever thought that once you die, Liu E and Ding Wei will take control of you?"
The administration of the government has emptied out the official family.
What will the officials do then?
He stretched out his hand feebly and scratched at the void again and again, shouting in despair."
Kou Ji made a helpless look, raised his hand to grasp the void, and said in a weak voice: "Kou Zhun, Kou Zhun, why did you leave so early. I wanted to find someone to help me, but I couldn't find him.
I feel so miserable!"
"Bang bang bang~"
Kou Zhun's eyes were rounder than ever before. His eyes were bloodshot and he slapped the soft couch vigorously with his hands.
Kou Ji's imitation was very vivid.
He couldn't help but think about it.
When he thought of Zhao Heng lying helplessly on the dragon bed, calling his name in despair, it was like a fire burning in his heart.
Frustrated, unwilling, and angry.
He no longer cared about what Kou Ji had just scolded him.
There is no way to care, and no shame to care.
His only hope now is that Kou Ji will stop talking.
Because every time Kou Ji said something, he felt more ashamed.
"By the way, there is also the Crown Prince Zhao Zhen."
Kou Ji said again: "As soon as you leave, Liu E and Ding Wei take control of the government. What will happen to Zhao Zhen?"
Kou Ji made a cowardly look, lowered his head, and said timidly: "Everything is decided by the eldest lady... What the eldest lady says is what I mean... I listen to the eldest lady..."
Kou Ji is like a clown in a drama, constantly performing and imitating.
However, no one present was smiling.
Some are just heavy and depressing.
It was like there were countless mountains, slowly falling on everyone's heart following Kou Ji's words.
Kou Ji performed for a long time and asked cheerfully: "Grandpa, guess how long this scene will last? One year? Two years? Three years?"
Kou Zhun gasped and begged: "Stop talking... stop talking, I beg you... don't talk anymore..."
Kou Ji seemed not to have heard Kou Zhun's words and said with a proud smile: "I guess if Liu E doesn't die, Zhao Zhen will always be like this. Because he is soft-tempered and generous, he will not dare to disobey Liu E. Even if he
When I grow up, I don’t dare to disobey Liu E.
Maybe you will resist a little bit under the advice of others.
But with Liu E's wisdom and methods, he will definitely be able to suppress him easily.
Maybe one day, Liu E didn't like seeing him sitting on the dragon throne, so she kicked him down and sat on the dragon throne herself."
Kou Zhun's tears were already streaming down his face, and they were tears of shame.
If it really happened as Kou Ji said, then after his death, he would not be able to face Emperor Taizong.
Jiuquanxia met Zhao Heng and was too embarrassed to face Zhao Heng.
Kou Ji stared at Kou Zhun and asked with a smile: "As a minister, if you trap the king like a servant, can it be considered loyal? If a minister only cares about his own reputation and does not care about the life and death of the king, can it be considered selfish? A minister of others can't be considered selfish?"
, only focusing on fighting for power and not caring about the future situation of the king, doesn’t it count as greed for power?”
"I...I...I..."
Kou Zhun no longer called himself "I", but shouted three words "I", tilted his head, and fainted.
Kou Ji's words were too heavy, too heavy for him to bear.
"master!"
"father!"
"..."
Kou Li, Kou Zhong and others realized that Kou Zhun was in poor health and could not bear such heavy words.
Immediately, no one bothered to complain about Kou Ji, and everyone ran around to find the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Kou Zhun.
After Kou Ji's previous reminder, Kou Zhun never let the imperial doctor stay here when discussing things with officials, so the imperial doctor spent most of his time in the wing of Kou's mansion.
Kou Li and his servants carried Kou Zhun into the bedroom, and Kou Zhong went to the wing to summon the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor helped Kou Zhun check his pulse amidst everyone's nervous expressions.
Then he said to everyone: "Kou Xiang was overly sad and out of breath, so he fainted. There is no fear of his life for the time being. He will wake up after falling asleep for a while."
The imperial doctor paused and reminded in a deep voice: "Kou Xiang's body is already weak and he cannot bear anger. If he is angry this time, he may have to rest in the hospital bed for another year. If he is angry again, his life will be difficult to save."
When Kou Li heard this, his eyes widened and he rushed out of the bedroom in a rage. He beat Kou Ji right outside the bedroom.
Kou Ji's fierce look before really scared him.
But after such a long time, he thought about it carefully and found that he was afraid of Kou Ji for no reason.
Are there any fathers who are afraid of their sons?
With this idea to embolden him, Kou Li was not so polite when he beat Kou Ji.
Kou Ji made Kou Zhun faint with anger. In Kou Ji's view, this was a necessary process after taking strong medicine. It was also the final process of Kou Zhun's ideological change.
In order to come to Kou Zhun for such a short time, he had been getting close to the imperial doctor in recent days.
It was precisely because he knew Kou Zhun's physical condition that he dared to do this.
But in Kou Li's view, Kou Ji was simply seeking death and trying to push away the glory and wealth he had obtained.
Kou Li didn't care much about Kou Zhun's situation in the court, and he had no right to care.
But Kou Li knew very well that even if Kou Zhun lost power in the court, he would still have an official position.
As long as you follow Kou Zhun, glory and wealth will definitely be indispensable.
Therefore, after Kou Li saw Kou Ji fainting from anger and Kou Zhun, his anger was particularly strong.
He didn't know whether Kou Ji could live happily after leaving Kou Zhun.
But he knew in his heart that his life would be miserable if he left Kou Zhun.
He didn't have much money, no fixed income, and he was still carrying huge foreign debts. Once he left Kou Zhun, not only would he not be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, but he would probably be forced to death by debt collectors.
Kou Li was angry, so when he hit someone, he didn't take it lightly or seriously.
Kou Ji suffered many wounds on his body.
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and was about to stop him.
He saw Kou Zhong rush out of the bedroom and shouted: "Master, please stop hitting the young master. I want to see the young master."
Kou Li's heart skipped a beat and he cried out: "Is dad going to expel our father and son from the house?"
Kou Zhong said in a deep voice: "The master just said that he wanted to see the young master, and didn't say anything else."
Kou Li immediately stepped forward and dragged Kou Ji to the bedroom. As he walked, he shouted: "When I see your grandfather later, you must kowtow to admit your mistake. Even if you knock your head open, you must let your grandfather calm down."
Already.
If your grandfather drives us out of the house, I will sever the father-son relationship with you."
Kou Ji wanted to slap Kou Li out of the yard, but finally held back.
Kou Li didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking, so he pulled Kou Ji into the bedroom.
Kou Zhun fainted quickly and woke up quickly.
At this moment, he was staring blankly at the top of the bed, lying in a daze.
After Kou Li pulled Kou Ji into the bedroom, he kicked Kou Ji and made him kneel on the ground.
He faced Kou Zhun and shouted in a mournful voice: "Dad, you finally woke up, but you scared the baby to death."
He turned around and pointed at Kou Ji, and said hurriedly: "Dad, I have already taught this unfilial son a lesson. If you feel uncomfortable, I will help you teach him a lesson."
