"For my heirs, I can ask them to resign and return to their hometown with me."
Li Di said coldly.
Kou Ji asked: "What about my grandfather?"
Li Di glanced at Kou Ji and said, "Your grandfather can also resign..."
Li Di subconsciously looked at the location of the palace, gritted his teeth and said: "A person who goes back on his word is not worthy of my and your grandfather's dedicated assistance."
Kou Ji saw that Li Di had made up his mind.
He sighed and said: "But your departure will definitely increase the arrogance of Liu E and Ding Wei. By then they will become more domineering and arrogant... Can you bear to watch them succeed?"
When Li Di heard this, he clenched his fists subconsciously.
Obviously, he was not reconciled.
But when he looked at Kou Ji, he relaxed his fists and said calmly: "Whether they are arrogant or not, what does it have to do with me? No matter how much they toss, they are still tormenting the Song Dynasty and the Zhao family.
"
Kou Ji sighed: "It seems that Grandpa Li has really made up his mind..."
Li Di glanced at Kou Ji and said calmly: "Why do I think you are so evil..."
Kou Ji was stunned.
Li Di continued: "You have tried so hard to persuade me to stay in the court, so you must have some conspiracy. I am very curious about what you are planning."
Kou Ji stared at Li Di and said seriously: "If you are willing to stay in the court and serve as the Minister of Household Affairs, then I will tell you my plan. If you insist on resigning, then I cannot tell you my plan."
Tell you."
Hearing this, Li Di said disdainfully: "It's just some children's tricks. If you don't want to tell me, I don't want to know."
When Kou Ji heard this, he did not argue with Li Di. Instead, he pondered for a moment and reminded: "Grandpa Li, you want to resign. I can't stop you, but can you please stay in Bianjing for a little longer?"
day?"
Li Di was stunned and frowned: "What is your purpose in letting me stay in Bianjing City?"
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the matter with Qingjun is not over yet..."
Li Di's eyes widened in vain and he said in astonishment: "The officials have changed their minds again?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with the official family, but some people can't stand the loneliness and want to give it a try..."
Hearing this, Li Di hurriedly asked: "Who is it? Your grandfather?"
Kou Ji suddenly grinned and said, "I won't tell you..."
Li Di stood up suddenly and said hurriedly: "How could you not tell me? You can't say half the things and leave the other half. Tell me everything you know quickly."
"Grandpa Li, I'll take my leave now."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and ran away.
Li Di was not given a chance to stop him.
Li Di shouted loudly behind him, telling him to stop, but he ignored him.
"Stop him for me!"
Li Di chased Kou Ji and ran out of the backyard, shouting loudly for the servants and servants in the house to stop Kou Ji.
The servants heard Li Di's voice and went to stop Kou Ji.
Kou Ji bypassed them and ran out of Li's house.
Li Di ran to the entrance of the main hall, but did not catch up with Kou Ji. He angrily cursed at the entrance of the main hall.
Kou Ji left Li Mansion, rushed out of the crowd, and disappeared at the entrance of the alley.
After running for a long time, I looked back and saw that no one from the Li family was catching up, so I slowed down.
He looked at the location of Li Mansion and laughed softly: "I wonder how I can resign now..."
Li Di fell into trouble with Qing Jun, so he must be very sensitive to topics like Qing Jun's side.
Now Kou Ji told him that Qingjun's side was not over yet this time, but he did not tell him what would happen.
Li Di must be scratching his head and want to find out.
As long as the Qingjun side of the matter does not end for one day, it is impossible for Li Di to resign with peace of mind and leave Bianjing City.
As long as Li Di does not leave Bianjing City, he will definitely be angry at what Liu E and Ding Wei have done.
When the time comes, he might come out and point fingers at Liu E and Ding Wei.
Once he opens his mouth to interfere in government affairs, he will have the intention to stay.
When the time comes, Kou Ji will ask Kou Zhun to persuade him again, and Li Di will definitely appear in the court again.
Li Di is very angry now, and no amount of persuasion is of any use.
You need to give him enough time to digest the resentment and anger in his heart.
Kou Ji visited Li Di this time. Although he failed to persuade Li Di to give up the idea of resigning, he did hold him back.
This proves that his trip was not in vain.
Kou Ji tidied his clothes and walked to the house happily.
Just walked a few steps.
I ran into a group of children playing.
Each of them held a bunch of candied haws in their hands and sang an unknown nursery rhyme while circling.
"The sky will change, the earth will turn over, the phoenix will grow horns, the phoenix will grow scales..."
"The sky is about to change, the earth is about to turn over, there is justice, pluck out the horns of the phoenix, remove the scales of the dragon..."
"..."
The children sang happily.
Pedestrians passing by frequently stopped to listen.
They silently remembered these words in their hearts, and then quietly disappeared into the street.
When Kou Ji saw the pedestrians writing down the nursery rhymes, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"The work efficiency is really fast..."
Kou Ji sighed and walked towards the house.
His steps were much more brisk, and he was obviously in a happy mood.
Obviously, this nursery rhyme has something to do with him.
He not only asked Liu Heng to spread rumors alone, he also asked Zhao Yuanyan to help spread rumors.
But the content of the rumors is different.
The rumors spread by Liu Heng were aimed at Liubu.
The rumors spread by Zhao Yuanyan were aimed at Liu E.
…
As soon as Kou Ji returned home, Kou Zhong appeared in front of him.
"Young Master, I have asked you to come over."
Kou Ji nodded and followed Kou Zhong to Kou Zhun's bedroom.
As soon as you enter the door.
Kou Zhun opened his mouth and asked, "Did Li Di let go?"
Kou Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If you don't get enough oil and salt..."
"Why……"
Kou Zhun let out a long sigh.
Although he told Kou Ji when Kou Ji left the house that Li Di had made up his mind and could not be persuaded, he still had a little hope in his heart that Kou Ji could persuade Li Di.
Now, this little hope has come to nothing.
Seeing Kou Zhun's sad expression, Kou Ji smiled and said, "But...it's not without gain..."
"oh?"
Kou Zhun was stunned and asked: "Tell me quickly."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Although Grandpa Li has decided to resign, he will not leave Bianjing in a hurry."
When Kou Zhun heard this, his face showed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly asked: "What did you say to him?"
Kou Ji grinned and said, "I told him that the matter with Qingjun is not over yet."
Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "You have finally caught Li Di's weakness."
After laughing, Kou Zhun seemed to remember something and asked quickly: "You didn't tell him in detail, did you?"
Kou Ji shook his head.
Kou Zhun let out a long breath and said: "That's good... Li Di is not only upright, but also thoughtful. If you make up lies to deceive him, you can't tell too much, otherwise he will definitely hear the flaws in the middle."
Kou Ji was stunned, shook his head and said, "I didn't lie to him..."
Kou Zhun said in astonishment: "Is it true?"
Kou Ji nodded seriously.
Kou Zhun sat slumped on Kou's bus and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "When I returned home today, I met a child singing a nursery rhyme on the road, which implied that Liu E would become emperor and that someone would overthrow Liu E.
I didn’t pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel something is wrong.”
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to take over the throne?"
Without waiting for Kou Ji to answer, Kou Zhun shook his head and denied his thoughts, "Li Di was dismissed from his political position because of the Qing emperor's affairs, but as long as he stays in Bianjing City, Liu E and Ding Wei will definitely send people to keep an eye on him.
He, he had no chance.
You don’t allow me to be indifferent to you...
Who else in the DPRK has this ability?"
It's not that Kou Zhun is inferior to the heroes of the world.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he and Li Di were the only ones who had the qualifications and strength to rule over the emperor.
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji with questioning eyes.
He felt that Kou Ji, a man appointed by heaven, should know the answer.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Isn't it stated clearly in that nursery rhyme that you want to seduce the person you love?"
Kou Zhun was stunned and said in astonishment: "Zhenggong?"
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Kou Zhun muttered: "It's not easy to guess... This Zhenggong may be a name, it may be a word, or it may describe a person's temperament.
what is it?"
Kou Ji laughed softly and said: "It should be a person's name..."
Kou Zhun asked in confusion: "Name? There are many officials in the court with the correct name in their name, but not many in high positions?"
Kou Zhun calculated it carefully, frowned and said: "Most of them are fourth-grade and first-grade, and they don't even have great power in their hands. How can they protect the emperor?"
Kou Ji grinned and said: "This person may be an official, but he may not be serving in the court..."
Kou Zhun looked stunned, "If you don't serve in the court, then you are an official outside?"
Kou Ji smiled and said nothing.
Kou Zhun thought hard. After a long time, he saw the smile on Kou Ji's face. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened little by little.
"Do you know who it is?"
Kou Zhun asked in disbelief.
Kou Ji nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Of course I know, because I was the one who spread the rumors."
Kou Zhun froze on the spot and couldn't say a word.
After a long time, he stared at Kou Ji and said, "Is it true, or are you just making it up?"
Kou Ji pondered: "I made up half of it, and half of it is true."
Kou Zhun said hurriedly: "Which half is true?"
"There is justice..."
"Is there really such a person?"
"kindness……"
"who?"
"Zhou Huaizheng..."
"Zhou Huaizheng?"
Kou Zhun screamed in surprise and asked in disbelief: "He is a eunuch, can he sway the emperor? Can he bring down Liu E?"
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said frankly: "Grandpa, you probably don't know until now that the person who encourages officials to be loyal to the emperor is Zhou Huaizheng, right?"
Kou Zhun said blankly: "Is it the official Qingjun side instigated by Zhou Huaizheng?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "Yes, it is Zhou Huaizheng. If he hadn't sent the rumors outside the palace into the palace and told the officials what Liu E and Ding Wei had done after they took power, how could the officials have the thoughts of a Qingjun?
The official was bedridden, and Liu E took control of the palace.
Who dares to speak ill of Liu E to the officials without Liu E's permission?
After careful calculation, apart from Zhou Huaizheng, I am afraid there is no one else."
Kou Zhun stared and said, "It turns out that the culprit was Zhou Huaizheng! He was the one who harmed Li Di!"
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Although Zhou Huaizheng had a hand in what happened to Grandpa Li, his fault was not his. After all, it was the officials' lack of firm will and lack of determination that led to Grandpa Li being dismissed from the position of political advisor."
"Guan family...hey!"
Kou Zhun sighed, he was also extremely disappointed with Zhao Heng's approach.
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and asked: "According to the rumors you spread, Zhou Huaizheng will take action?"
Kou Ji nodded and said: "When he had the idea of instigating officials to be loyal to the emperor, there was no way out. Once his instigation of officials to be loyal to the emperor was exposed, Liu E would definitely execute him.
So he will definitely take action.
Only by bringing down Liu E can he live and sit back and relax."
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji closely and asked, "Will he succeed?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "I'm afraid not..."
Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Why?"
Kou Ji sighed and said: "There is no edict, no soldiers and horses..."
Kou Zhun also sighed.
Qing Jun's side without soldiers and horses is just a child's play.
The chance of success is so slim that it can almost be ignored.
Li Di has successfully demonstrated it once.
If Li Di had Zhao Heng's edict in hand and soldiers and horses following him, he would not have ended up like this.
As long as he holds the edict and leads the troops into the palace, even if Zhao Heng wants to go against his promise, he can help Zhao Heng make up his mind.
"Then what is your purpose of spreading rumors?"
Kou Zhun questions.
Kou Ji said: "The first is to scare Liu E and make Liu E confused... The second is to remind Zhou Huaizheng not to take action rashly..."
Kou Zhun nodded, thinking about Kou Ji's words.
After a long time, he asked again: "Then why did you do this?"
Just as Kou Ji was about to speak, he saw Kou Zhong rushing into Kou Zhun's bedroom and exclaimed: "It's not good, sir, Mr. Li led people into the house and threatened to arrest the young master."
When Kou Ji heard this, he walked out. As he walked, he told Kou Zhun: "Grandpa, my grandson will hide for now. You can help stop Grandpa Li. Don't tell him about Zhou Huaizheng, otherwise he will definitely
It will ruin things."
Kou Zhun opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But Kou Ji had already run away.
Not long after, Li Di led a group of men and broke into Kou Zhun's bedroom in a vicious manner.
"Brother Kou, where is your useless grandson?"
Kou Zhun asked knowingly: "Did he offend you?"
Li Di snorted coldly: "Provoked!"
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes and said, "If you provoke me, provoke him. Anyway, you are about to resign and become a country man. It's not like he can't afford to offend you."
Li Di's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "Brother Kou, what are you talking about?"
Kou Zhun glanced at him and asked: "You, a country man, are committing a crime by chasing after an imperial official and shouting to kill him. I'm just reminding you not to commit the serious crime of beheading because of impulsiveness.
"
Li Di stared and said angrily: "I haven't resigned yet, and my rank is higher than his!"
Kou Zhun looked stunned, "You haven't resigned yet? When I saw you last night, you were very determined to resign. I thought you had already handed in the memorial of resignation."
