Chapter 0183 The east wind blows, the fire changes
"Are you still embarrassed to mention Xia Song?"
Kou Zhun patted Kou's bus, glared at Kou Ji angrily and growled.
Kou Ji looked confused and asked tentatively: "What's wrong with Xia Song?"
Kou Zhun snorted heavily and said angrily: "If you hadn't incited Zhou Huaizheng to rebel, how could Xia Song have suffered so much?"
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly: "Xia Song was killed?"
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and said angrily: "Being alive is alive, but living is worse than dead."
Kou Ji asked curiously: "What happened?"
Kou Zhun pursed his lips, lowered his voice, and said: "The penis is broken..."
Kou Ji's eyes widened in astonishment and he lost his voice: "Zhou Huaizheng only sent people to kill him, not to castrate him. How could his penis..."
Kou Zhun glanced at Kou Ji and hummed: "When I was running for my life, I hit the ridge of the wall and died... After the imperial doctor diagnosed and treated him, he said it must be done, otherwise his life would not be saved."
Kou Ji stood there in a daze, his mouth wide open, unable to say a word.
He did not expect that on the night of Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion, Xia Song would have such an adventure.
Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji and reminded in a deep voice: "That man's character has rotted along with his penis. Now he has turned into a madman. Before that, he was recovering from his injuries in the palace and his injuries improved slightly.
, he took advantage of the darkness to touch the place where the eunuchs were sleeping, and bit the eunuch who had cut off his penis to death.
The Empress Dowager has ordered that he be removed from all official positions, and he is now being held in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
After the Autumn Battle, he will be assassinated and sent to Gyeongju."
Kou Ji clicked his lips, not knowing what to say. He did not expect that just one Zhou Huaizheng rebellion would cause Xia Song's life to undergo earth-shaking changes.
Kou Ji pondered for a moment and thought: "Grandpa, you said that his temperament changed drastically and he became a madman. Then will he have a desire for revenge in his heart? Will he defect from the Song Dynasty once he goes to Qingzhou?
Did you vote for Xixia?"
When Kou Zhun heard this, he frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense. This person has served in the northwest for many years and knows the border defense deployment in the northwest. If he votes for Xixia, it will really be a trouble for us, the Song Dynasty.
.”
Kou Ji stretched out his hand and made a murderous gesture on his neck, "How about killing him to avoid future troubles?"
Kou Zhun frowned and said: "He just killed a eunuch. The empress dowager just stripped him of his official title, which is already a heavy punishment. You don't have to worry about this matter. I will change the sentence and give him another place after I go to court tomorrow."
.”
When Kou Ji heard this, he pondered: "It's best to send him to the south, such as Yongzhou..."
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and scolded: "I don't need your instruction in doing things, so get out of here."
"Here~"
Kou Ji bowed his hands and left the main hall.
Although Kou Zhun drove Kou Ji out of the main hall, he listened to Kou Ji's words.
He had already made a decision in his mind, and planned to change Xia Song's verdict after he went to court tomorrow and transfer Xia Song to Yongzhou.
Kou Ji left the main hall and wandered back to the gate of Sijun Garden. When he reached the gate, he paused. Through the garden gate, he stared at the withered yellow flower bones in the garden, slightly dazed.
When he first entered Bianjing City, the flowers in the Sijun Garden were covered with traces of fresh green.
Today, the flowers in Sijun Garden have bloomed for the first time.
"It's been half a year since I arrived in Bianjing..."
Kou Ji sighed.
Before he knew it, it had been half a year since he arrived in Bianjing.
In half a year, he did a lot of things, and the muddy water in Bianjing City was stirred up even more by him.
Under his agitation, history has changed and is running wildly in an unknown direction.
"I don't know if it's good or bad..."
Kou Ji sighed casually.
After a pause, he shook his head again and said faintly: "No matter good or bad, you can't live in a miserable state..."
Only he himself knows what is contained in the word 'grievance' in Kou Ji's mouth.
After sighing, Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and stepped into the Sijun Garden.
Compared with other places in Kou Mansion, Sijun Garden is actually very deserted.
There used to be many servants, maids, and nannies in the garden. After Kou Ji moved into the garden, he asked them to wait on them outside the garden.
Apart from serving tea and pouring water, Kou Ji rarely used the maids and servants in his house to do anything he could do himself.
Most of the time, Kou Ji was the only one in Sijun Garden.
When the maids and nuns take care of the Sijun Garden, they must first check to see if Kou Ji is there.
When Kou Ji was around, they rarely appeared in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji put his hands behind his back and walked around the garden. He moved a bed and placed it in the garden. He lay on the bed and swayed quietly.
He swayed and fell asleep.
The next day.
A memorial to ask for sick leave was left on Zhao Zhen's Long Case.
Kou Ji, the new doctor of the Chaosan Dynasty, caught wind and cold last night and fell ill.
Why he fell ill, only a few people know.
He was avoiding trouble, avoiding the trouble of impeachment by officials from the six ministries.
But the fire he lit in the court did not go out because he fell ill. Instead, it burned even more vigorously.
After the flames burned their buttocks, the officials of the six departments showed amazing cohesion and explosive power.
After the court dismissed yesterday, they ran around and gathered a large number of classmates and close friends to write a letter together and speak for the Sixth Department.
In addition, a large number of memorials to impeach Kou Ji also appeared in the Long case before Zhao Zhen.
Some well-known officials in the court prepared all night last night to scold Kou Ji for being completely naked this morning. What's more, they even invited some famous scholars to have a good talk with Kou Ji in the court.
They were well prepared and well prepared, but they didn't expect that Kou Ji suddenly called in sick, causing their wishes to come true.
But they didn't let Kou Ji go.
They still carried the things they had prepared last night to the court hall and scolded Kou Ji until he was completely naked.
Some people criticize Kou Ji, but naturally some people support Kou Ji.
A group of people headed by Li Di and Zhao Yuanyan supported Kou Ji's petition to depose the Six-Part Memorial.
The two groups quarreled in the court hall all morning.
They quarreled until the end and broke up unhappy.
Both parties made a tacit agreement to go to court tomorrow and continue the quarrel.
In this way, the issue of the survival of the six departments was debated in the court for seven days.
On the eighth day, an unexpected change occurred.
Wang Shu had just been transferred from the Ministry of Personnel, and Wang Qinruo, known as the old fox, actually took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel when the six departments were in turmoil.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty finally realized something was wrong.
They finally realized that the turmoil of dismissing the six departments this time had profound implications.
After the dynasty dispersed, they once again gathered together in small groups to speculate on the deeper meaning behind the turmoil of dismissing the Sixth Division.
Kou Zhun returned to the mansion and sent Kou Zhong to summon Kou Ji who was pretending to be ill in Sijun Garden.
As soon as Kou Ji entered the courtyard where Kou Zhun's bedroom was, he heard Kou Zhun's voice.
"Your plan was discovered by Wang Qinruo... This old fox would do nothing if he didn't take action, but he took away the most important official among the six departments."
Kou Ji just entered the courtyard. When he heard this, he frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "Wang Qinruo has taken the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"
Kou Zhun sat on Kou's bus and nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji said thoughtfully: "What an old fox."
Kou Zhun said solemnly: "Who says it's not the case? This old fox has a really keen sense of smell. After realizing the deep meaning of your dismissal of the Sixth Division, he immediately picked the biggest peach."
Kou Ji pondered and shook his head, saying: "That's not necessarily the case. The three divisions will not fall. Even if the Ministry of Personnel seizes the power of the Division of Punishment, it will still be half-empty. The same goes for the Ministry of Household Affairs...
The biggest peach is the punishment department."
Among the six departments, half of the power of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel is in the Department of Punishment, and half of the power is in the Department of Third Affairs.
If the three divisions do not fall, even if the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Personnel seize the power of the Division of Punishment, they will still be half-assed.
The power of the Ministry of War rests with the Third Government Office. If the Three Government Offices do not collapse, the Ministry of War can only seize the power of patrolling the border from the Department of Punishment.
What the Ministry of Works can wrest from the Sentencing Department is only a little power to supervise fortifications.
The Ministry of Rites has no power at all in the Department of Punishment.
Among the six departments, only the Punishment Department will become a sound yamen after taking away the power of the Punishment Division.
The rest are defective products.
Therefore, the punishment department is the biggest peach.
Kou Zhun naturally understood what Kou Ji's words meant, but after listening to Kou Ji's words, his expression did not change and remained solemn.
"Wang Qinruo is not a person who just waits for death. Once he seizes the power of the Punishment Division, he will definitely take action against the Third Division and take back the other half of the power from the Third Division."
Kou Zhun reminded in a heavy voice.
Kou Ji heard this and smiled, "Isn't this a good thing for us? The purpose of helping the Six Ministries to seize power is to dismantle the power in Liu E's hands.
After dismantling the Criminal Division, the next step is the Third Division.
With Wang Qinruo, an old fox, as our vanguard, we can definitely enjoy the benefits."
Kou Zhun glared at Kou Ji and reminded in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, I brought down one Liu E and another Wang Qinruo got up."
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "Compared to Liu E, Wang Qinruo is easier to deal with."
Kou Zhun was stunned when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he nodded slowly.
Liu E had the back position to protect her and was invincible from the beginning.
Even if the power in Liu E's hands is taken away, as long as she doesn't die, she may make a comeback at any time by virtue of her status as the empress dowager.
Wang Qinruo is different.
If Wang Qin did not have the protection of his successor, let alone the power to take over the affairs of the country, he would not be able to remain invincible.
Once he is knocked down, given his age, he will never get up again in this life.
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji and said thoughtfully: "So, my worries are unnecessary?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "It's not unnecessary. Wang Qinruo still needs to be careful. No one knows when he will stab our ancestors and grandchildren behind our backs."
Hearing this, Kou Zhun nodded slowly.
Kou Ji added: "Before, I wanted my uncle to suppress it and then submit a memorial to ask for the punishment. Now it seems that I can't suppress it. If we continue to suppress it, the civil and military officials of the whole court will probably know our purpose.
.”
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "Not bad..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he called out to the courtyard: "Kou Zhong?"
"The old servant is here..."
"Go to the palace and tell Wang Shu that you can submit a letter."
"Old servant understands."
"..."
Kou Zhong immediately left Kou's mansion, went to the palace, and brought Kou Zhun's words to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu sent the memorial he had written long ago to the palace.
Kou Ji said goodbye to Kou Zhun and returned to his Sijun Garden alone.
Back in the garden, Kou Ji lay on the bed, thinking to himself.
"Wang Qinruo is afraid that he will vote for Zhao Yuanyan..."
He spoke very beautifully in front of Kou Zhun.
He threatened that if Wang Qinruo became Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he would be helping them to be a pioneer.
But that was to cover up the truth that he had joined forces with Zhao Yuanyan.
Zhao Yuanyan has a special status. If he gets up and becomes big, he will easily threaten Zhao Zhen's throne.
Once Kou Zhun finds out about this, he will definitely scold him, and may even take action to prevent Kou Ji from helping the Sixth Department seize power.
With Kou Zhun's current status, he needs to maintain Zhao Zhen's rule.
Kou Ji said to himself: "No wonder Zhao Yuanyan's desire for power has skyrocketed in recent days. It turns out that he got help from Wang Qinruodang. Liu E has another powerful opponent, and I have another opponent..."
The next day.
When going to court.
Kou Zhun casually pulled out Wang Shu's memorial and read a few sentences casually.
The courtiers who were arguing in the court over the fate of the six ministries fell silent.
Wang Shu's memorial lifted up the leaf that was blocking their way.
Let them see the powerless nature of Liubu.
Did the Six Parts have no rights from the moment they were born?
No!
The six departments have power from the moment they are born.
Otherwise it won't appear.
Where did the power of the six departments go?
Divided by Taizu.
Was divided by Taizong.
It was assigned to multiple yamen such as the Criminal Division, the Third Division, and the Third Yamen.
The Six Ministries had no power, and the officials of the Six Ministries did not need to be ministers, so they were accused of being worms in the court.
What if the Sixth Department takes back the power?
Then is it other yamen that should be dismissed?
For example, the punishment department mentioned in Wang Shu's memorial?
The ones with the most power among the six divisions are the Criminal Division, the Third Yamen, and the Third Division.
Sanya is a place where military heroes hang out. If they seize power from Sanya, they can easily withdraw from the civil-military dispute, and they may not necessarily get good results.
The Third Secretary is not suitable either. The Third Secretary is Lu Yijian, the nephew of the late wise Prime Minister Lu Mengzheng. He has many old friends in the court. There are also many disciples of Lu Mengzheng among them, so it is not easy to attack him.
In comparison, the Punishment Division has become the most bullied yamen.
Xia Song, the punishment officer of the punishment department, has just been sent to prison, and now the punishment department is leaderless.
Although Liu E has the backing, Liu E is too busy to take care of herself now. How can she hold on to the Sentence Division despite their impeachment?
Figured this out.
The attitude of officials from the Six Ministries changed.
They no longer quarreled, and even when Li Di pointed at their noses and scolded them for being incompetent, they remained speechless.
They remained silent until the next court session.
After the court, they no longer gathered together in small groups, but in large groups.
They had only one purpose in gathering together, and that was to seize power from the Criminal Division.
