Chapter 0201 Zhao Heng left the power to deal with Liu E
"good!"
Kou Ji nodded heavily.
Kou Zhun frowned and said, "According to reports from spies, all the soldiers and horses led by Emperor Liao have entered the mountain."
Kou Ji said seriously: "This is the cleverness of Emperor Liao. Everyone saw him leading his troops and horses into the mountains, and everyone knew that he led his troops and horses into the mountains to hunt.
But few people can guess where he will appear when he comes out of the mountains again.
After he enters the mountain, he only needs to send his confidants to block all the important roads under the mountain, and it will be difficult for our spies to transmit back his movements in the mountain.
Whether he was hunting or marching in the mountains, we don't know.
I dare to conclude that when he appears again, he will definitely come to Xixia."
Kou Zhun clenched his fists, frowned, and whispered: "This is just your guess. Without evidence, it is difficult to win the trust of the officials in the court."
Kou Ji whispered: "When the Emperor of Liao comes to Xixia, if I want to react, it will be too late."
Kou Zhun hit the armrest of Kou's bus hard and said in a deep voice: "I know, but without proof, the officials in the court will not agree to the imperial court sending troops."
Kou Ji muttered: "We are not completely helpless."
Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji unexpectedly and asked, "Is there any way you can bypass the hundreds of officials in the court and dispatch troops?"
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Convince the Queen Mother and let her work with you, grandfather, to issue an expedient order to the Zhezhong family. The Zhezhong family is adjacent to Xixia and has soldiers and horses. Once Xixia and Liao go to war,
If they could take the opportunity to stab Xixia in the back, they would definitely make Xixia feel happy.
If under their control, the war between Xixia and Liao can become stalemate, even if the imperial court intervenes in the war later, it will still be able to cut off a piece of flesh."
When Kou Zhun heard Kou Ji's words, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Xu Zhezhong's family has the power to do things expediently. This is no small thing."
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Don't compromise the power of the two families to do things for their own convenience. A big piece of fat will slip away from the court."
Kou Zhun punched Kou's bus twice, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will go into the palace and have a good talk with the Queen Mother."
This kind of opportunity has been rare for many years, and after finally getting it, Kou Zhun was naturally unwilling to miss it.
Immediately, Kou Zhun summoned a servant and pushed Kou's bus out of the house.
After walking only two steps, Kou Zhun asked the servant to stop and waved to Kou Ji behind him, "You go with me."
Hearing this, Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded, walked over quickly, and followed Kou Zhun.
He had nothing to do in the palace, followed Kou Zhun into the palace, and could help Kou Zhun speak at critical moments.
The grandfather and grandson hurried to the gate of Donghua.
Just as he was about to show off his belt and enter the palace, someone appeared at the edge of the Jinshui Bridge and stopped Kou Ji.
"Lord Xiao Kou, stay..."
The person who came was Chen Lin, with a dead face, blocking the Jinshui Bridge, refusing to let Kou Ji pass.
When Kou Ji saw this, he didn't know why.
Before he could react, Kou Zhun was annoyed, "Chen Lin, you are so brave, you dare to block my way."
Chen Lin bowed her waist and said with a smile: "Master Kou is joking. Even if you borrow ten thousand courages from me, I won't dare to block your way."
Kou Zhun snorted coldly and scolded: "Then why don't you get out of the way."
Chen Lin stood motionless, and he said humbly: "Master Kou wants to enter the palace, just go in, the servants dare not stop him. But Master Xiao Kou cannot enter the palace."
Kou Zhun stared and asked, "Why?"
Chen Lin said softly: "This is the decree jointly issued by the Queen Mother and the Dowager Concubine. They also specially ordered the slaves to guard here, just to let the slaves watch and prevent Mr. Xiao Kou from entering the palace."
When Kou Zhun heard this, he turned around and glared at Kou Ji, gritting his teeth and saying, "What did you do behind my back to actually make the Queen Mother and the Dowager Princess jointly issue an order to prevent you from entering the palace?"
Liu E and Li prevented Kou Ji from entering the palace. Kou Ji knew exactly why.
But when faced with Kou Zhun's questioning, Kou Ji pretended to be confused and said, "My grandson didn't do anything."
However, his pretended ignorance was seen through by Kou Zhun at a glance.
Kou Zhun glared at him fiercely and said angrily: "I believe you are evil!"
"Stand here and don't move. I'll take care of you when I come out of the palace."
Kou Zhun said a harsh word and was pushed into the palace.
Kou Ji was left outside the palace.
Kou Ji originally wanted to follow Kou Zhun into the palace and help Kou Zhun at the critical moment, but now it seems that he may not be able to do it.
After Kou Zhun left, Kou Ji's eyes fell on Chen Lin.
Kou Ji looked at Chen Lin with a strange expression.
Chen Lin felt a little uncomfortable being looked at. She curled her lips and muttered: "Don't look at our family like that. Our family is not a yellow flower girl. There is nothing to look at."
Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and said doubtfully: "I'm just curious. You are a personal eunuch of an official family. You don't stay with the official family properly, but you come here to guard the door. How can you be full?"
When Chen Lin heard this, she got angry and said, "You just had enough to eat. What are you doing to tease Mrs. Li when you have nothing to do? If you don't tease Mrs. Li, can our family be sent to guard the gate?"
Kou Ji said disdainfully: "What does this have to do with me flirting with Concubine Li? It's obvious that you are incompetent and can't please Concubine Li, so you were assigned to guard the gate here. How dare you blame me?"
There are thousands of eunuchs in the palace. Why didn’t Mrs. Li send others to guard the gate but you?
It's not because you don't like Concubine Li.
Look at Guo Huai, he's such a prosperous person in the palace.
We are both eunuchs, so why do they do better than you?"
When Chen Lin heard this, she became furious and shouted: "Don't compare our family with that villain Guo Huai."
Kou Ji said calmly: "If Guo Huai is a villain, then what you are living now is not even as good as a villain."
"you!"
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji.
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "What are you, don't point your finger at me. You, a slave, point your finger at a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. This is disrespectful."
Chen Lin withdrew her finger, stared at Kou Ji with a gloomy look, and said through gritted teeth: "We can't fight with you in a quarrel. But we remind you, don't tease us anymore, or we will poison you to silence you."
Kou Ji looked Chen Lin up and down, and said disdainfully: "I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet? You are a fifth-grade official of the imperial court who is cruel and mute. Are you tired of living?"
Chen Lin immediately stared at Kou Ji and shut her mouth.
He knew that he couldn't fight with Kou Ji, so he simply said nothing.
The more he talked, the more joyful Kou Ji got at him.
Seeing that Chen Lin had stopped talking, Kou Ji moved closer to Chen Lin and whispered: "I'm just asking the officials to practice martial arts to strengthen themselves. There's no need to make the trouble so serious that they won't even let me in through the palace gate, right?"
Chen Lin rolled her eyes at Kou Ji and didn't say a word.
Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "If you want to tell me the truth, I will tell you a big secret."
Chen Lin said disdainfully: "We don't want to know your secrets, and we don't want to talk to you either."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows and whispered: "You don't want to know the secrets related to Xixia and Liao Kingdom?"
Chen Lin was stunned, gritted her teeth, glared at Kou Ji, and said angrily: "Those two have too strong a desire to control, and they both want to control the official family. The former is to use the official family to control power.
;The latter is purely doting on the officials.
You are right to instigate officials to practice martial arts.
What's wrong is that officials have affection for you and obey your words.
This made those two people see that the official family wanted to get out of control, so they stopped you from entering the palace."
Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "The official family should not be controlled by anyone."
Chen Lin said quietly: "Our family thinks so too. Our family will never allow officials to be used as the puppets of others, including you."
Kou Ji was stunned, "I have no intention of controlling the official family."
Chen Lin hummed and said, "That's impossible to say. As far as the three of you are concerned, you have a greater chance than those two."
Kou Ji said blankly: "Why didn't I notice it?"
Chen Lin glared at Kou Ji fiercely.
Kou Ji smiled brightly and whispered: "Just a joke, just a joke."
Chen Lin warned in a cold voice: "Don't make this joke randomly, it will kill people."
Kou Jiquan pretended not to hear Chen Lin's threats. He approached Chen Lin and whispered: "The Liao Kingdom wants to conquer Xixia."
"This is impossible!"
Chen Lin blurted out without thinking.
Kou Ji said seriously: "Nothing is impossible. The Liao Emperor organized a winter hunt of 500,000 people, did you know?"
Chen Lin nodded heavily.
Kou Ji continued: "Winter hunting is a tradition in the Liao Kingdom. Every year when winter comes, the Emperor of Liao will always summon the eight Khitan tribes and people from the various small tribes attached to the Liao Kingdom to hold a winter hunt.
This is done to bring the relationship closer to each other.
It was also to show off his power to the small tribes that were attached to the Liao Kingdom.
Let them adhere to the Liao Kingdom wholeheartedly.
But in previous winter hunts, when the number of people was at its highest, there were only about 100,000 people.
This year there were half a million people.
It would be strange if there were no other intentions."
Chen Lin slowly frowned and remained silent.
Kou Ji continued: "The people of Liao are all skilled people with bows and horses. What can 500,000 people who are skilled with bows and horses do? They can conquer a country. The only neighbors who can allow Liao to use such troops to conquer are the Song Dynasty and Xixia
.
If the Liao people wanted to conquer the Song Dynasty, they would definitely not make peace with me at this time to appease the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the Liao people are most likely to conquer Xixia."
Chen Lin slowly looked at Kou Ji and said in a deep voice: "So, the Liao people really want to conquer Xixia?"
Kou Ji explained it so thoroughly that Chen Lin could naturally understand it.
Through a series of abnormal actions of the Liao people, it is not difficult to analyze the intentions of the Liao people.
Kou Ji nodded.
Chen Lin frowned and said again: "Since you have concluded that the Liao people are going to conquer Xixia, you should tell the princes in the court your conclusion and let them jointly discuss a countermeasure."
Kou Jidao: "My grandfather has already entered the palace to discuss this matter with the Queen Mother."
Chen Lin nodded slowly and pondered on the spot.
After a long time, he looked at Kou Ji and whispered: "You told our family this matter in a different way. Do you have some conspiracy?"
This matter was of great importance, and Chen Lin never believed that Kou Ji would kindly share it with him.
Kou Ji smiled softly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Although I deduced the truth that the Liao people wanted to conquer Xixia, I lacked evidence to win the trust of the princes in the court, so I wanted you to help me collect some evidence.
"
Chen Lin raised her eyebrows and stared at Kou Ji warily, "You want to use someone from the Dongmen Medicine Depot?"
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "There is also an equipment supervisor!"
When Chen Lin heard this, she almost jumped up in fright.
He stared at Kou Ji in horror and said, "How do you know that our family is in charge of the equipment supervision department?"
Chen Lin is in charge of the equipment supervisor, which is a secret among secrets.
Except for the equipment supervisor, Chen Lin, and the deceased Zhao Heng, no one else knew.
Even Liu E didn't know about this.
Although Liu E could mobilize the people in the equipment supervision department, she also nominally controlled the equipment supervision department.
But the one who really controls the equipment supervision is Chen Lin.
Although Zhao Heng did not leave anything like an imperial edict to Kou Zhun, it does not mean that he did not guard against Liu E.
The manpower he left to guard Liu E was all in Chen Lin's hands.
Seeing Chen Lin shivering nervously, Kou Ji tugged on his sleeve and whispered: "Don't worry, only I know about this, no one else knows."
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and asked Kou Ji, "How did you know?"
Kou Ji whispered: "Because Du Hu's salary has not stopped."
Chen Lin heard this and said in a deep voice: "If I had known that there was a flaw in Mute Hu's body, our family should have cut off Mute Hu's salary."
Kou Ji shook his head and said: "Don't even think about it. Once you cut off Mute Hu's salary, my grandfather will definitely pursue you to the end and dig you out when the time comes."
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and said: "You can see this, how come your grandfather can't see this?"
Kou Ji explained: "My grandfather's eyes are fixed on the Queen Mother, and he rarely pays attention to these details. Even if he realizes that Mute Hu's salary has not been cut off, he will not suspect you.
He will only think that Liu E did not cut off Mute Hu's salary in order to uphold the promise made by the late emperor."
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji and said, "What would your grandfather think about? Why didn't you think about it?"
Kou Ji laughed softly and said: "Because ever since I learned that you controlled the Dongmen Medicine Storehouse, I have guessed that you have more than just the Dongmen Medicine Storehouse in your hands. The late Emperor gave you the control of the Dongmen Medicine Storehouse.
, its intention must be to deal with Liu E. Although the Dongmen Medicine Storehouse is powerful, it is not enough for you to compete with the Queen Mother.
After I discovered that Du Hu's salary had not been cut off, I guessed that another force in your hands was the equipment supervisor.
If Liu E controls the equipment supervisor, even if she doesn't say anything, the supervisor of the equipment supervisor will appropriately cut Mute Hu's salary and flatter her."
Chen Lin stared at Kou Ji with a gloomy look, and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that our family's flaws were exposed early, and you discovered our family's trump card."
Kou Jidao: "I can see through this because you revealed the information to me in advance, but others couldn't see through it. Our goals are the same, so it is impossible for me to reveal your trump card to others."
Chen Lin gritted her teeth and reminded: "It's best if you keep your mouth shut. Once you leak this secret, our family will definitely kill you. It's true that you are a fifth-rank official, but the fifth-rank officials our family killed are two.
They can't be counted on one hand.
The reason why our family gives way to you in everything is because you are the only person we know who treats the official family wholeheartedly."
"learn!"
Kou Ji said something, and then asked: "When can your people be sent out?"
Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "It is a national matter, and it is such a big national matter, so the sooner the better. Our family will soon send people out after entering the palace."
