When Zhao Zhen saw Kou Ji saluting him, he felt a little excited. A pair of calves were swinging back and forth on the dragon chair. He wanted to speak, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Liu E sitting next to him, and someone sitting not far from him.
In the distance, Kou Zhun's calves stopped moving and his head drooped.
"This matter is decided by the eldest empress and the grand master..."
Kou Zhun sat on the seat, looking at his nose and nose, as if he didn't hear Zhao Zhen's words.
Kou Zhun knew the whole story of what Kou Ji had told him, and he also knew Kou Ji's true purpose.
So he knew that the six films that Kou Ji was asking for now were just an appetizer, and the real main course had not yet been served.
He was not in a hurry to speak.
When Liu E heard Kou Ji's memorial, her brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
She hoped that Kou Ji would propose a big event so that she could get rid of the impeachment of hundreds of officials, but she did not expect that Kou Ji would throw out such a big event with just one opening of his mouth.
The six departments are of no use to the imperial court. This is something everyone in the government and the public knows.
The six ministries consume nearly two million guan from the national treasury every year, and those in power in the DPRK also know this.
Anyone who knows about the Liubu knows that the existence of the Liubu is a cancer for the imperial court.
But this cancer was so special that Zhao Heng was unwilling to touch it when he was still alive.
Can Liu E touch the cancer that Zhao Heng cannot touch?
Liu E can't be touched either.
Officials from the top and bottom of the six ministries have lived in the court for many years, and their relationships in the court are intricate. To disturb the six ministries is equivalent to disturbing the entire court.
Not to mention that Liu E now divides power with Kou Zhun, even if Liu E controls the entire court, she would not dare to touch the six departments easily.
Liu Efeng raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Kou Ji, and said in a deep voice: "The survival of the six departments is of great importance. This matter will be postponed for later discussion."
Kou Ji took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the loss will be to the court."
Kou Ji pointed his finger to the sky and said loudly: "The empress wants to drag her down. Even though the officials agreed, the officials agreed, and the people agreed, God did not agree. God sent a warning sign from Taibai Jingtian, and it was widely rumored that six stars were hanging upside down.
, this means that the six departments have no authority.
God sent down Taibai Jingtian to remind the court that if the court did not comply with God's will, God would definitely bring disaster.
By that time, tens of millions of people in the world will suffer."
Liu E gritted her silver teeth slightly and said in a deep voice: "The Ai family has said that this matter will be postponed for later discussion."
Kou Ji took another step forward, walked to the imperial steps, stared at Liu E, and said loudly: "Is the empress going to ignore all the people in the world? Is the empress going to watch God bring disaster?"
Kou Ji's step by step was a little bit official.
Kou Zhun looked at it and nodded secretly.
Liu E was a little angry. She stood up suddenly, patted the armrest of the seat, and yelled: "How can the Ai family ignore all the people in the world? It's just deposing the six departments. It's a big deal. The Ai family needs to think about it carefully.
.”
"My dear, don't listen to Kou Ji's deceptive words. Kou Ji is obviously talking nonsense."
Lin Te cupped his hands to Liu E and said something loudly. Then he turned around, glared at Kou Ji, and shouted: "You are a little brat with a yellow mouth and white teeth. How dare you say that we are useless to the court? Why are we?
When the imperial court came to help, you were not born yet."
Lin Te pointed to some familiar officials from the Six Ministries behind him and counted their past achievements in detail.
One by one, I explained everything clearly to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji stood there without speaking because he saw Kou Zhun's eyes falling on Lin Te.
Kou Zhun waited until Lin Te finished speaking and said calmly: "Lin Te made a mistake in front of the palace. He is suspected of contempt for the official family. He will be fined for one year."
When Lin Te heard this, he stared at Kou Zhun in disbelief and said, "Kou Zhun, you are avenging a public and private revenge!"
Kou Zhun snorted coldly, "I have always been fair in dealing with things. This is something everyone knows. You are in this hall, and you keep saying that a court official is a brat with a yellow mouth and white teeth?
Could it be that those officials who are younger than him are not even cubs with yellow mouth and white teeth?"
"you!"
"What are you doing? You call me by my first name and it breaks the rules of conduct in front of the palace. I will be fined another year's salary."
"Kou Zhun..."
"Fine another year's salary..."
"..."
Lin Te's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.
He wanted to say something, but if he opened his mouth, Kou Zhun dared to fine him a salary.
He could only stare at Kou Zhun fiercely, trying to vent his anger to Kou Zhun with his eyes.
Seeing Lin Te's submission, Kou Zhun snorted coldly and said: "The court is a place where matters can be discussed. Regardless of age or position, as long as it is beneficial to the court, it can be discussed.
I feel that what Kou Ji said today is very reasonable.
The annual income of my dynasty far exceeds that of previous dynasties.
Logically speaking, there should be a surplus at the end of each year.
But what about actually?
In fact, before the end of the year, the treasury was empty.
Even mice would be disgusted if they got in.
Where's the money?
Where did the money go?”
Kou Zhun looked around the officials and hummed: "All the money is used to support idlers. And it's not just one or two idlers, but a whole bunch of idlers. A group of idlers who are useless to the court."
If the imperial court does not support these idle people, how much surplus will there be in the treasury now?"
Kou Zhun asked himself and answered: "Countless!"
Kou Zhun clenched his fist and said angrily: "If the imperial court has countless money, what can it do? Why should we call ourselves brothers to Liao? We can pile up money and make Liao surrender."
As soon as Kou Zhun said this, Li Di responded: "That's right!"
Li Di's eyes fell on Lin Te, "These people are the worms of the imperial court and should be eliminated. If they stay in the imperial court, they will only waste food."
"you!"
Lin Te stared at Li Di with an angry look on his face.
Li Di said disdainfully: "What are you doing? If I were you, I would never shamelessly stay in the court and act like a moth."
Lin Te gritted his teeth and roared: "You are now also one of the six ministers..."
Li Di looked stunned, "Really? If you didn't remind me, I would have almost forgotten it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Di came out of the office, bowed his hands to Zhao Zhen, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Li Di, please ask the officials to depose me from the position of Minister of Household Affairs. I am not like some people who do nothing with their salary from the imperial court.
They are thick-skinned and I am thin-skinned.
The salary of the imperial court is too hot to touch even if I get even a cent of it."
Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Li Di added: "I will also return all the salary that the imperial court paid to me before."
Lin Te almost bit his tongue when he heard this.
He originally wanted to criticize Li Di based on this, but he didn't expect that Li Di blocked his words as soon as he opened his mouth.
Kou Zhun waved his hand to Li Di and said calmly: "Let's not stop the six parts. We haven't decided yet. Many of your petitions have been rejected."
Kou Zhun spoke, and Li Di stopped playing.
Li Di just stepped back, and Zhao Yuanyan took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "I also feel that the existence of the six departments is of no use to the court. I agree with Kou Ji's petition."
Zhao Yuanyan opened his mouth.
It represents the attitude of the Zhao clan.
At this time, all six officials could not sit still.
They did not bother to impeach Liu E again, but opened their mouths to defend the six departments one by one.
Many advantages of the imperial court retaining the six divisions were mentioned.
For them, retaining their official positions was more important than impeaching Liu E.
The court hall suddenly became noisy and chaotic.
Liu E frowned frequently as she watched the hundreds of officials in the court quarreling together.
Kou Zhanzhan looked at it with a calm expression.
When the officials had stopped arguing, Kou Zhun slowly said: "The survival of the six ministries is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the Queen Mother before making a decision."
"Retreat!"
Kou Zhun shook his sleeves and shouted.
Guo Huai quickly followed the situation and shouted.
The officials wanted to speak, but Kou Zhun did not give them a chance to speak.
He bowed his hands to Zhao Zhen, then waved to Kou Ji, asking Kou Ji to push him out of Chui Gong Hall.
All the officials looked at each other.
They didn't react until Kou Zhun left Chui Gong Hall.
When they wanted to say something, Liu E and Zhao Zhen also left Chui Gong Hall.
All the officials were left alone in the Chui Gong Hall.
The imperial censor looked at the group of officials who were arguing about the affairs of the six ministries, and shouted angrily: "Retreat! The official business we have to do has not been done yet."
After his reminder, the officials remembered that they were going to impeach Liu E today.
They beat their chests one by one and sighed in front of the imperial censor, then gathered together in small groups and hurriedly left the Chui Gong Hall.
When they sigh in front of the imperial censor, they are trying to deal with the censor.
Seeing that their official position was about to be lost, how could they think about impeaching Liu E?
At this point, the most important thing for them is to find a way to keep their official positions.
Only by retaining their official positions would they be qualified to continue impeaching Liu E.
If they no longer have official positions, their attempt to impeach Liu E will become a fantasy.
Kou Ji pushed Kou Zhun out of Donghua Gate.
On the way, Kou Zhun said to Kou Ji with a smile: "You are a little too angry..."
Kou Ji laughed softly: "It's not big enough..."
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and reminded: "You lit the fire, but it's hard to say whether the fire can reach the Ti Xing Division."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "The officials of the Sixth Ministry are not that stupid, are they?"
Kou Zhun laughed and said, "Someone lit a fire under your bed. Should you save your life first, or put out the fire first?"
Kou Ji was slightly stunned and understood the meaning of Kou Zhun's words.
Kou Ji lit a fire in the Sixth Department, and the officials of the Sixth Department were the first to think of how to maintain their positions in this fire.
Those who have connections will naturally look for connections to see if they can be transferred out of the six departments.
It doesn't matter, I will also look for connections to see if I can be transferred out of the six departments.
When a disaster strikes, running away is a person's first reaction.
Kou Ji understood what Kou Zhun meant and laughed in a low voice: "My grandfather means to ask my grandson to find someone to lead the fire to the Criminal Division."
Kou Zhun nodded with a smile and said, "A boy can be taught."
Kou Jixiao asked: "Who do you think is suitable?"
Kou Zhun patted Kou's bus and laughed softly: "You'll find out if you wait here."
Kou Ji was stunned, nodded, and pushed Kou Zhun's Kou bus to the side outside Jinshui Bridge and stopped.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, they saw Chen Lin holding a roll of edict and heading straight towards them.
"Chen Lin?"
Kou Ji looked stunned.
Kou Zhun's face darkened and he whispered: "It's not him..."
Chen Lin trotted up to Kou Ji, cupped her hands towards Kou Zhun, and then handed the edict in her hand to Kou Ji.
"Kou Gong announced his resignation just now, but the officials forgot to let someone read out this decree, so they specially asked our family to send it to you."
Kou Ji took the edict and raised his hands in the direction of the palace, "I would like to thank the officials for their love..."
Chen Lin ignored Kou Ji. He bowed his hand to Kou Zhun again, left Jinshui Bridge and returned to the palace.
Kou Zhun raised his head, stared at the edict in Kou Ji's hand, and said quietly: "A sixteen-year-old fifth-rank official... you are the only one since the founding of the Song Dynasty."
Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "Some people are born as Dukes and Princes of the country."
Kou Zhun stared and scolded: "Can that compare? That is a military honor, a relative of the emperor. You are a civil servant!"
Kou Ji smiled brightly and unfolded the edict. While looking at the edict that was full of words praising him, he asked suspiciously: "What kind of official title did the official give me?"
"Doctor Chaosan..."
Kou Zhun said quietly.
Kou Ji turned to the end of the edict and saw the words Chaosan Doctor.
Kou Ji muttered: "Send to the salary officer..."
Kou Zhun turned his head away and stared at him, "Don't be dissatisfied. Although it is a salary official, it can let you stand in the Chui Gong Hall and give you the right to speak in the Chui Gong Hall.
This is what I carefully selected for you.
The Queen Mother is interested in letting you serve as the deputy envoy to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That is a practical position, will you go?"
Kou Ji shook his head decisively.
The deputy envoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs belongs to the martial rank.
Kou Jizhen was about to take up the military rank, and he would be easily assigned to the ranks of military ministers.
Kou Ji put away the edict and smiled softly: "Thank you, grandpa..."
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji quickly shut up.
The grandfather and grandson waited by the Jinshui Bridge for a long time before they found the person they wanted to wait for.
Wang Shu, with his head hanging down, like an eggplant beaten by frost, appeared outside Donghua Gate. When he saw Kou Zhun and Kou Ji, he hurriedly greeted him.
"father in law……"
Wang Shu walked up to Kou Zhun and bowed to salute.
Kou Ji bowed to Wang Shu and said, "I have met my uncle..."
Kou Zhun nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when we get home."
When Wang Shu heard that Kou Zhun asked him to go to Kou's house, he was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
Ever since Kou Ji had the door sealed and blocked him out that day, Kou Zhun had never seen him again.
For this reason, he often beat his son at home and complained that his son had offended Kou Ji. Kou Ji didn't know what slander he made in front of Kou Zhun, which made Kou Zhun not want to see him anymore.
Wang Kou, who felt sorry for her son, wanted to go back to her parents' home to ask, but Kou Zhun blocked the door with a letter, asking her to go back to the palace to take care of her husband and raise her son.
Now that Kou Zhun was willing to see Wang Shu again and invited him to his residence, he was naturally overjoyed.
He has also been having a hard time at court these days and needs the help of Kou Zhun, the grand master.
Wang Shu enthusiastically took control of Kou's car from Kou Ji and pushed Kou Zhun towards Kou's mansion.
