"Send someone to Baozhou quickly and transfer half of the people from Baozhou's forging workshop to Leizhou. At the same time, tell Chen Juntou to expand the number of patrolling horse guards and secretly transfer the most loyal patrolling left guard to Leizhou."
Kou Ji ordered in a deep voice.
Kou Zhong looked stunned, "Young Master, are you going to help the Young Master run Leizhou?"
After a pause, Kou Zhong said doubtfully: "Didn't I say before that you want the young master to stay in Leizhou all the time? If you do this, the young master may not be able to stay in Leizhou for long."
Kou Ji glanced at Kou Zhong and said solemnly: "Follow my instructions, no need to ask any questions."
When Kou Zhong saw that Kou Ji had made up his mind, he didn't want to ask any more questions, so he immediately went down and secretly dispatched men to deliver the order.
After Kou Zhong left, Kou Ji sat alone in the side hall and said in a faint tone: "I will find a way to do whatever I promise you. But before that, I have to figure out a way out for myself. I don't want to
While helping you, I will also die for you."
Today in the side hall of the palace, Zhao Zhen showed his true feelings to Kou Ji, and Kou Ji showed his true feelings to Zhao Zhen.
But just when Zhao Zhen's true feelings were revealed, Kou Ji saw something that he couldn't usually see.
From what Zhao Zhen said, Kou Ji could easily judge.
Although Zhao Zhen was not Liu E's biological child, in Zhao Zhen's heart, he regarded Liu E as his own mother.
Therefore, even if Liu E made a move to beat the mandarin ducks, it touched the most sensitive part of Zhao Zhen's heart.
Zhao Zhen still didn't yell to kill Liu E.
Although there is some resentment in my heart and some obscure complaints on my lips.
But when he spoke out those complaints, his expression was more helpless than angry.
Especially when he asked Chen Lin whether Liu E had the lives of Long Zi and Long Sun on her hands, his whole body was filled with nervousness.
This shows that he cares about Liu E very much.
He cares so much about Liu E, so naturally he will never see anyone do anything to harm Liu E again.
If Kou Zhun, Kou Ji's ancestors and grandsons did anything to harm Liu E, and he had no way to solve it, he might threaten his life.
Kou Zhun, Kou Ji's ancestors and grandsons are constantly rebelling, so naturally they cannot watch him do things that harm themselves.
Then Liu E's status will be as stable as Mount Tai.
If Liu E is a person without ambition, then that's it.
Exactly.
Liu E is a person who is unwilling to be mediocre and unwilling to stay behind the scenes.
Then, Liu E will definitely return to the court under the protection of Zhao Zhen.
Once Liu E returns to court.
The first ones to be dealt with are Kou Zhun's grandfather and grandson.
Another confrontation between the two sides will inevitably shock the government and the opposition.
Liu E is protected by Zhao Zhen, which is equivalent to having an invincible golden body.
But Kou Zhun’s ancestors and grandsons didn’t.
Even though Zhao Zhen was kind to Kou Ji, Kou Ji didn't dare to bet on whether he would risk his life to protect Kou Ji.
Therefore, Kou Ji must arrange a way out for himself so that he can escape unscathed.
Kou Ji also considered a once-and-for-all solution, such as poisoning Liu E, but did not take any action.
Poisoning Liu E would certainly solve the problem.
But after Liu E's death, a lot of troubles will follow.
In Bianjing City, if an official is poisoned, the court will pursue it to the end, let alone poisoning the mother of a country.
Once Liu E dies, there will be countless people in the court looking for countless clues to pinpoint Kou Ji.
Even if Kou Ji does everything perfectly, as long as someone has a suspicion, they can still find ways to find him.
Once the official machinery of the imperial court is in full operation, almost nothing can be hidden from the imperial court.
In the past, Taizong Zhao Guangyi poisoned Li, Meng and Liu, and everyone knew about it, let alone Kou Ji.
Only Taizong Zhao Guangyi would do such a deceptive thing.
Kou Ji would never be stupid enough to imitate him.
Zhao Zhen had to help with arrangements for his retreat.
Whether Zhang's daughter can continue to stay in the palace does not require Kou Ji to worry about it.
All you need to do is send a message to the palace and let Kou Zhun know about it.
According to historical records, Liu E was able to snatch Zhang's daughter from Zhao Zhen and give it to Liu Congmei because she controlled the power of the court.
Whatever she did, the civil and military officials of the court, including Zhao Zhen, dared not say anything in anger.
But it's different now.
It is not she, Liu E, who is in power, and Liu E cannot decide everything with one word.
There are rules for picking girls.
Even if an ugly-looking woman is sent to the palace as a concubine, she is still Zhao Zhen's woman.
Even if Zhao Zhen ignores her all his life, she is still Zhao Zhen's.
Even if she becomes the meanest maid in the palace, she cannot be rewarded to others casually, let alone be sent out of the palace.
Kou Ji only needed to send a message to Kou Zhun to explain the matter to Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun went to Liu E to discuss the matter.
If Liu E refuses to comply, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty will go to Liu E to argue with him.
If Liu E still refuses to obey, how can there be any relatives of the Zhao family, and the great clan of the Zhao family is upright.
If all means were exhausted, Liu E still refused.
Then Kou Zhun could ignore Liu E and directly intervene in this matter as the regent of the country.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would definitely stand on Kou Zhun's side without hesitation.
Therefore, letting Zhang's daughter stay in the palace is not a problem for Kou Ji.
The real dilemma for Kou Ji was how to let Cao's daughter take the position of queen.
"Dangdangdang..."
Kou Ji looked at the tables and chairs in the side hall.
The steward of Kou Mansion appeared in the side hall.
"What are your orders, young master?"
"Go to Cao Mansion and tell Uncle Cao that I have something to discuss with him."
The steward agreed, and after leaving the house, he went straight to Cao's house.
If Cao's daughter takes the position of queen, the Cao family will be the one who benefits the most.
The Cao family naturally had to do their best.
Otherwise, if Kou Ji planned a plan and let the Cao family benefit in vain, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
Not to mention that Kou Ji was waiting quietly at his house for Cao Wei to pass by.
In the palace.
After Kou Zhun got the message from Kou Ji, his slightly gray eyebrows stood up.
"Bang!"
Kou Zhun slapped the table and stood up. In the astonished eyes of Wang Zeng and Li Di, he snorted coldly: "The women who enter the palace are the women of the official family. Even if the official family wants to send them out of the palace, they still want me to
It only requires the approval of three people, so how can we allow the Queen Mother to do whatever she wants?"
Wang Zeng and Li Di became energetic for a moment when they heard the word "Queen Mother" uttered from Kou Zhun's mouth.
Under their repeated suppression, Queen Mother Liu E can only be imprisoned in the palace.
Now that Queen Mother Liu E is extending her hand again, they will naturally be alert.
"Master, what happened?"
Wang Zeng frowned and asked.
Kou Zhun looked coldly and pointed at the eunuch who was helping Kou Ji deliver the message, "Tell Wang Xiang Li Xiang what Ji'er told you."
The young eunuch immediately bowed his back and repeated what he had just whispered to Kou Zhun truthfully.
Wang Zeng and Li Di both frowned after listening to the young eunuch's words.
"The purpose of recruiting women in the palace is to select concubines for the officials. How can they be given to others?"
Li Di snorted coldly.
Wang Zeng frowned and said: "The Queen Mother's move is suspected of violating the palace prohibition. We should go to the Queen Mother's palace and advise the Queen Mother to rein in her behavior."
Kou Zhun nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the hall.
Wang Zeng and Li Di stood up and followed him outside the hall.
Went to the entrance of the palace.
Li Di seemed to have remembered something, and said to the young eunuch who was delivering the message: "When you go back, pack up your things, leave the palace immediately, go to Kou's house, and ask Kou Ji for a job."
Without saying a word, the young eunuch kowtowed to the ground and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li, for your support. Thank you so much, Mr. Li for your support..."
Li Di shook his sleeves and ignored him.
Out of the palace.
The reason why Li Di asked the young eunuch to go to Kou Ji outside the palace was because he was afraid that the young eunuch would be punished by Liu E if he conveyed unfavorable words to Liu E to them today.
Of course the little eunuch also understood.
The reason why he took the risk to help Kou Ji convey the message was because he was Chen Lin's person.
Kou Zhun and the others left the palace and went straight to the palace of Queen Mother Liu E.
After they jumped out of the palace complex where Shishido was located.
Guo Huai trotted into Liu E's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, those three old men Kou Zhun have left Zishi Hall and are heading towards your bedroom."
Liu E was sitting on the chair, with three people standing in front of her.
After hearing Guo Huai's words, the four of them frowned.
"Did Kou Zhun and the other three discover us?"
Yan Shu pinched the skirt of his clothes tightly and said slightly nervously.
Xia Song shook his head, squinted his eyes, and said with a gloomy face: "It shouldn't be... you are an official of the official family, running around in the palace is not a big deal.
Kou Zhun and the other three will not come straight to the harem just because of you."
If you listen carefully, you can hear Xia Song's voice being slightly shrill.
Yan Shu stared at Xia Song and the old figure beside Xia Song, and exclaimed: "That's why I'm here for you two."
Xia Song said coldly: "I have been acting as a eunuch in the palace for more than two months, and my whereabouts have not been revealed yet."
The eyes of Xia Song and Yan Shu both fell on the old figure.
The old figure stroked his beard, and the old god said calmly: "I am one of the gentlemen of the official family. In addition to teaching the official family, I also report the official studies to the Queen Mother. What is wrong? Who can arouse suspicion?"
You two, it’s better not to make random guesses.
In my opinion, Kou Zhun and the others went straight to the Queen Mother's palace, fearing that they had nothing to do with the three of them.
The three of us are still hiding, and let’s see what Kou Zhun and the other two are going to do.”
Liu E nodded and said: "The three beloved ladies are hiding behind the chairs of the Aijia. Don't make any sound. They will accompany the Aijia to listen and find out why the three Kou Zhun came to the Aijia. You can help them."
Please refer to Aijia for details."
Yan Shu and the other three nodded in unison, walked around Liu E's seat, and hid behind it.
Kou Zhun and the other two arrived at the entrance of Liu E's palace, passed the entrance hall, and then appeared inside the palace.
With Kou Zhun as the leader, the three of them saluted together.
"Chen Kou is accurate..."
"Your Majesty once..."
"Your Majesty Li Di..."
"See the Queen Mother..."
Liu E closed her sleeves, sat upright on the chair, and said calmly: "Three beloved ladies broke into the Ai family's palace. What's going on?"
Without waiting for Kou Zhun and the other three to speak.
Liu E said again: "You have forced the Ai family to imprison themselves in this deep palace. Are the three beloved ministers still unwilling to let the Ai family go?"
When Kou Zhun and the other three heard this, they all raised their hands.
"I am terrified...I never forced the Queen Mother..."
Liu E snorted lightly, "You know whether you have forced the Ai family or not. Tell me, what are you doing to the Ai family?"
Kou Zhun straightened up, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that the Queen Mother intends to give the daughter-in-law in the palace to your nephew Liu Congmei."
When Liu E heard this, she slowly raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Who did Kou Aiqing hear?"
Liu E did not deny this.
She did say this, and she also guessed who spread the word.
Kou Zhun and the other three came together. If she denies it, she will inevitably have to confront him.
At that time, the little heartless one was brought out, which made everyone's faces lose their luster.
Kou Zhun said neither humble nor arrogantly: "If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing yourself. The Queen Mother has mentioned this matter before, so naturally someone will inform me."
Liu E narrowed her eyes and stared at Kou Zhun, "So...the three beloved ladies came to question the Ai family?"
Li Di took a step forward, stood side by side with Kou Zhun, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "I don't dare... It's just state laws and family rules. The palace has its own rules for selecting girls, and the queen mother should not violate the rules and disrupt the court's actions.
You shouldn’t use this to seek personal gain for your mother’s family.”
Liu E snorted coldly, gritted her teeth and said, "What if the Ai family was just joking for a while?"
Wang Zeng took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "The three ministers will pretend that they have never heard of this matter. However, in order to prevent such things from happening, the three ministers need to send officials from the Ministry of Rites to participate in this matter."
Now that Kou Zhun and the others have come forward, they will naturally not let Liu E go because of her "momentary joke".
In order to prevent Liu E from causing trouble again, it would be more appropriate to find someone to supervise the whole process.
Nowadays, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are fighting to the death for power over the Ministry of Works, causing chaos in the court.
As a result, Kou Zhun and the others were unable to carry out the abolition of the Xiang Army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
The three of them were worrying about the plan to dismantle the Xiang army in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
And he had so much free time to practice Tai Chi with Liu E.
When Liu E heard Wang Zeng's words, her face turned cold and she said angrily: "It's the Ai family's job to help the official family select concubines. It's not enough for the three beloved ministers to be in charge of the court. Do they also need to interfere in the royal family affairs?"
Li Di calmly said to Liu E: "The royal family has no family affairs... As long as the matter involves the official family, no matter how small it is, it is a major matter that can be discussed in the court."
"Bang!"
Liu E slapped the table and said through gritted teeth, "What if the Ai family really promised the Zhang family's daughter to Liu Congmei?"
Kou Zhun moved forward slowly, stood in front of Wang Zeng and Li Di, faced Liu E directly, and said in a neutral tone: "Then Queen Mother, don't blame me for asking the officials for instructions. Ask the Zhao family's Dazong Zheng to dispatch troops and horses."
Enter the palace to protect your safety, the Queen Mother."
The implication.
If you really dare to violate the rules, I will send troops to put you under house arrest.
"Kou Zhun, you are bullying me!"
Liu E stared at Kou Zhun and shouted angrily.
Faced with Liu E's accusation, Kou Zhun straightened his back and said loudly: "Everything I do is for the sake of the official family and the country of the Song Dynasty."
"The same is true for me!"
Wang Zeng and Li Di, one on the left and one on the right, stood beside Kou Zhun.
They used practical actions to tell Liu E that what Kou Zhun meant was what they meant.
The three of them are in charge of the inner court and the world.
What they mean is what everyone in the world means.
