"It's one thing for him not to be worthy of my sister, but it's another thing for him to look down on my sister. What right does he have to look down on my sister?"
Cao Xu stared and asked angrily.
"Oh……"
Kou Ji sneered, not bothering to pay attention to him, and walked out of Cao's mansion.
Cao Xu was furious and followed Kou Ji's footsteps, shouting loudly: "Explain it to me clearly!"
Kou Ji kept his head down and continued walking out, ignoring him.
Cao Xu became anxious and stood in front of Kou Ji, blocking Kou Ji's way.
"Speak clearly to me!"
Kou Ji paused, glanced at him, and said, "Are you planning to test my martial arts?"
Cao Xu gritted his teeth, stared at Kou Ji, and said word by word: "I just want you to explain your words clearly to me."
"Explain clearly?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "What is there to say? Why should I tell you clearly? If you are really capable, you can tell Uncle Cao about this and ask him to come forward to uphold justice.
Whether Uncle Cao wants Di Qing to be killed or chopped into pieces, I, Kou Ji, will admit it."
Kou Ji stared at Cao Xu and said seriously: "Do you think Uncle Cao can't see the things you can see? Do you think you are the only smart person in the Cao family? Since Uncle Cao can see the difference between the two of them,
However, he did not stop or expose the matter, which means that Uncle Cao does not care about Di Qing's background."
Cao Xu's eyes widened little by little, and he shook his head in disbelief: "It's impossible..."
Kou Ji said calmly: "There is nothing impossible. In terms of wisdom and experience, Uncle Cao is far better than you. What can you see that he can't see? The fact that he didn't point this out shows that he likes Di Qing very much.
But here you are clinging to your family status, hating the poor and loving the rich, shouting..."
"Cao Mansion, is it your turn to make the decision?"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Xu stood there blankly, with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he had been hit by a immobilizing spell.
Kou Ji ignored him and left Cao Mansion.
When Cao Xu taught him martial arts before, he thought Cao Xu was a pretty good person.
Now, at a glance, Cao Xu is not much different from the ordinary playboys in Bianjing City.
Kou Ji no longer wanted to have a close relationship with him.
This person's knowledge is too shallow to achieve great things.
There are many wealthy families in Bianjing City, and they have their ups and downs.
But none of the wealthy and powerful families that are truly standing rely on their family status for food.
If they could send their daughters to the palace, they would send their daughters to the palace. By marrying into the royal family, they had been able to maintain their wealth.
Those who could not send their daughters to the palace would go out to catch their son-in-law every time the imperial examination was over, look for good talents, and support them to establish themselves in the court, so as to maintain the wealth of the wealthy family.
The former is related to family status, but the latter has nothing to do with family status.
It can be seen that the view of family status not only cannot help the wealthy and powerful families to survive, but will accelerate the demise of the wealthy and powerful families.
Cao Xu obviously didn't understand this, so he chased Kou Ji and said those words.
Kou Ji saw this, but was too lazy to explain it clearly to Cao Xu.
He is not Cao Wei, and he has no obligation to teach Cao Xu to become smart.
Kou Ji left Cao Mansion and returned to Kou Mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Kou Zhong found him and said, "Young Master, I asked you to go to his bedroom if you come back."
Kou Ji nodded and followed Kou Zhong to Kou Zhun's bedroom.
After entering the door, Kou Ji saluted, and Kou Zhunping stepped back.
When their grandfather and grandson were left in the bedroom, Kou Zhun smiled calmly and said: "Wang Zeng has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and served as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Li Di knew that the edict from the Ministry of Hubu was also delivered to him. Although he clamored for it,
He resigned, but he did not refuse the appointment document issued by the court."
Kou Ji was stunned when he heard this and said in surprise: "So fast?"
Kou Zhun laughed and said: "The Sixth Department is a Qingshui Yamen. They have positions but no power, and everyone is an official with a salary. With the qualifications of Li Di and Wang Zeng, if they go to the Sixth Department, it will be decentralized. There is no reason why the court will not allow it.
"
Kou Ji nodded slowly, "That's good..."
Kou Zhun smiled and asked, "How was your conversation with Cao Wei?"
Kou Ji grinned and said: "The fish has taken the bait..."
Kou Zhun also grinned, "Waiting to enter the cage?"
"Um……"
"Hahaha……"
Kou Zhun smiled happily.
He has never laughed so freely since he fell ill.
After laughing, Kou Zhun specially stayed with Kou Ji to have dinner with him.
During the banquet.
Kou Zhun said to Kou Ji: "By the way, I have something to tell you."
Kou Ji asked, "What's the matter?"
Kou Zhun said seriously: "After much thought, I felt that it would not be an option for your father to stay in Bianjing City and do nothing all day long. So I helped him find a job in Huayin County and let him go.
Practice, practice, practice. If he can succeed, I will help him find another position. If he can't, he will stay in Huayin for the rest of his life."
Kou Ji was shocked when he heard this.
He had previously wanted to find an errand for Kou Li to get Kou Ji out of Bianjing City, but he had been busy and had no free time to help Kou Li find an errand.
But he didn't expect that Kou Zhun was one step ahead of him and helped Kou Li find a job.
Moreover, he was an errand boy for Huayin County under the rule of Huazhou.
Kou Li was sent back to his hometown by Kou Zhun.
Kou Ji said with a strange expression: "Grandpa, are you going to send my father back to his hometown?"
Kou Zhun hummed and said, "If he stays in Bianjing City, he will only bring trouble to me."
Kou Ji asked in shock: "What happened while I was out?"
Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said with a dark face: "A prostitute came to your door and said she was pregnant with your father's child."
The corners of Kou Ji's mouth twitched and he asked: "Is it true or false?"
Kou Zhun rolled his eyes, "Of course it's a lie! I've already sent someone to check, and the child in her belly is not your father's at all."
Kou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in shock: "Then she still dares to come to Kou's house to cheat?"
The corner of Kou Zhun's mouth twitched and he said: "Those people are crazy for wealth and will do anything. If I told you that there were people who pretended to be pregnant with your child before, would you believe it?"
Kou Ji opened his mouth in astonishment and was about to defend when he heard Kou Zhun say disdainfully: "You are still a child, where did you come from? Those people don't even use their brains to lie."
The expression on Kou Ji's face was twisted into a knot. He always felt that he was despised by Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun didn't know what Kou Ji was thinking. When he saw that Kou Ji didn't speak, he asked softly: "I sent your father back to his hometown in Huazhou. You won't complain, right?"
Hearing this, Kou Ji quickly shook his head and said, "No..."
Not only did he not do it, he even wanted to applaud and praise him for a job well done.
Kou Zhun nodded slowly, "That's good..."
Kou Ji pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Grandpa, according to court regulations, court officials are not allowed to return to their hometown to serve as county magistrates. If you let my father take charge of Huayin County, will he be impeached?"
Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips disdainfully, "With your father's virtue, if you let him take charge of Huayin County, within two terms, the people of Huayin will dig up the Kou family's ancestral graves. I helped him find a plan."
The book is missing."
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully but said nothing.
Kou Zhun was talking bad about Kou Li, and he couldn't interrupt.
Kou Zhun said again: "In two days, I will ask Kou Zhong to send him back to Huazhou, so don't come forward."
Kou Ji was stunned and said in astonishment: "If this is spread out, it will be easy to be labeled as unfilial."
"Unfilial hat?"
Kou Zhun sneered: "Who dares to label you as unfilial?"
Kou Zhun patted Kou's bus and hummed: "As long as this thing is here, no one will dare to put an unfilial hat on you. Not only can't you wear an unfilial hat, but your filial behavior must also be recorded in the annals of history.
Let everyone in future generations admire you.”
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said in astonishment: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
Kou Zhun smiled softly, "Do you know why I decided on the positions of the two ministers so quickly?"
Kou Ji slowly widened his eyes and said in astonishment: "Is it related to Kou's bus?"
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "There are many people with handicapped legs and feet in Bianjing City. I hired thousands of craftsmen at once, worked day and night, and made thousands of Kou buses. If there is a person with handicapped legs and feet, I will give one to you."
past.
Now in Bianjing City, who doesn’t owe me a favor from the Kou Mansion?
I have something to do, why don’t they just turn a blind eye?"
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "I didn't expect Kou's bus to have such a use."
Kou Zhun smiled and said: "That's natural... Just this morning, the King of Chu, who has not participated in government affairs for a long time, went to the official family to petition you for a title, saying that the Kou Gong chariot you built has supreme merit."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then said in deep thought: "King of Chu?"
Kou Zhun nodded slowly and sighed: "My brother from the Guan family... If he hadn't burned down the East Palace back then, the position of the Guan family might have belonged to him. I can't tell you more about the secrets involved, you just need to know
, you just need to be respectful when you see him."
Even if Kou Zhun didn't tell him, Kou Ji also knew the old affairs of this King of Chu.
This King of Chu can be regarded as a rare kind and righteous person in the royal family.
At that time, Zhao Kuangyin died suddenly and Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne without an edict, which attracted a lot of messages from the people.
People began to speculate that Zhao Guangyi had killed Zhao Kuangyin in an attempt to usurp the throne.
However.
Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, which was a foregone conclusion.
Both the government and the public were busy flattering him, and no one dared to delve into the matter.
At that time, the King of Chu, who had just been canonized as the crown prince, dared to chase Zhao Guangyi and question the matter face to face.
Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin's two sons, Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang, died one after another.
There are rumors that he was assassinated by Zhao Guangyi.
The King of Chu was completely angry and burned down the East Palace. He wanted Zhao Guangyi to express his dissatisfaction and threatened to help Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang seek justice.
This move completely angered Zhao Guangyi, who deposed him as prince and demoted him to a commoner.
After Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he restored his title out of consideration for brotherhood and promoted him to higher ranks many times.
But he seemed tired of the overt and secret fighting in the royal family, and tired of the court, so even though Zhao Heng promoted him to several positions, he rarely appeared in the court.
Kou Ji didn't expect that by just making a wheelchair, he could actually lure the King of Chu, who had not been out for many years, to help him seek an official position.
The weight of this person is very heavy.
Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun and asked, "How did the court reply?"
Kou Zhun said with a smile: "The King of Chu wanted to help you ask for an attendant, but the court declined because of your young age. But because of the King of Chu's face, Liu E and Ding Wei did not dare not to give it to you, so they added one for you.
Chao Fenglang's scattered steps."
Kou Ji said dumbfounded: "This one is really generous..."
The service system is just a general term, which includes the Baohe Palace service system, Longtu service system, Tianzhang service system, etc., which are from the fourth rank official rank.
One step further up, that is, a direct bachelor from the third level.
He truly has the qualifications to become a general and a general.
Among all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, it is estimated that the King of Chu was the only one who dared to help others ask for an official position like this. If anyone else had mentioned it, they would probably be scolded to death.
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and said with a smile: "If the court really agrees, then you will become the target of public criticism."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Liu E and Ding Wei will not agree."
Kou Zhun nodded with satisfaction and said: "I can still see clearly..."
Although Chaofeng Lang was an official with a salary, he was also an official of the sixth rank.
Kou Ji is now at the sixth level, and is only one step away from the fifth level.
The clothes on your body will soon be changed into vermilion.
He will soon enter the ranks of important officials in the imperial court.
And Kou Ji went from a white body to a double-six-level body now, in just a few months.,
Kou Ji was already very satisfied with this.
Therefore, he was not disappointed because he missed out on being promoted to the fourth rank.
After the grandfather and grandson had eaten, they chatted in the bedroom for a while.
Just when Kou Ji was about to say goodbye to Kou Zhun and return to his Sijun Garden.
Kou Zhong hurried to Kou Zhun's bedroom and handed Kou Zhun a post.
Kou Zhun opened it and was happy.
He said to Kou Jizhuang the post in his hand: "Cao Wei agreed..."
Hearing this, Kou Ji grinned, "Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind..."
…
A few days later.
Kou Zhun was busy with Cao Wei's appointment as Minister of War.
Kou Ji carefully observed the trends of rumors in the city.
Just as Kou Ji expected, as the rumors spread wider, Qingjun's voice became louder and louder.
The whole city is talking about the Qing emperor, and the whole city is looking for justice.
It seems that the Qing emperor's side has become a kind of public opinion.
Public opinion is like a knife, hanging high above the head.
Liu E finally couldn't sit still.
She first dispatched Liu Mei and used the power of the Imperial City Division to help Liu Heng spread the rumor that the six stars were hanging upside down.
Not only that, she also secretly found a group of experts to practice magic in Fantai, trying to change her fate against the will of heaven.
Of course, it is false to change one's fate against the will of heaven.
Her real purpose was to make these masters die suddenly in Fantai, confirming the rumor that the six stars were hanging upside down.
When Kou Ji learned that dozens of foreign experts died suddenly in Fantai, he immediately spread rumors about the other side through Liu Heng.
The general meaning is that the six stars are hanging upside down, which means that the six departments have no power.
The six ministries have no authority, the six stars hang upside down, and it goes against the will of God. The sky will send down celestial phenomena to wake up the world.
As soon as the rumor came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the government and the public.
The officials of the Six Ministries who had been sitting on the bench for a long time felt as if they had been given a shot of blood. One by one, they wrote to the imperial court to comply with God's will and return the power of the Six Ministries.
However, at this moment, Liu E seemed to notice something was wrong.
She actually dismissed the memorials of those officials from the six ministries.
Inside the Kou Mansion.
Kou Zhun's bedroom.
Kou Zhun looked gloomily and said to Kou Ji, who was sitting across from him: "It's very likely that Liu E will discover your plan..."
Kou Ji pondered: "She probably looked through the recent transfer memorials of the six departments and discovered that the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Household Department are all our people, so she realized something was wrong."
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "Since Liu E has found out about this, I will definitely not let you get what you want!"
Kou Ji smiled softly and said quietly: "Now that things have come to a point, we can't help her anymore!"
