"Would I lie to you about something like this?"

Kou Ji glanced at Cao Yi and said with a smile.

Cao Yan shook his head decisively and said: "Of course not... I just didn't expect that you could even interfere with the affairs of the rear position."

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "The ownership of the post is decided by the officials themselves. I just gave the officials some suggestions."

Cao Yi couldn't wait to ask: "What is going on?"

Listening to Kou Ji's words, the issue of the ownership of the post is not only due to him, but also to Zhao Zhen.

Cao Yi didn't think that Zhao Zhen would make a move to marry given his current age and temperament.

So there must be a story in between.

Kou Ji did not hide anything from Cao Yi, and immediately told Cao Yi happily what he had talked with Zhao Zhen in the palace.

After hearing what Kou Ji said, Cao Yi was stunned.

"The Queen Mother would actually embarrass the officials on post-election issues..."

Cao Yi really didn't know what to say.

Historically, when the emperor elected his queen, the queen mother would mostly follow the emperor's wishes.

Even if it goes against the emperor's wishes, the stakes should be clearly explained to the emperor.

It is inevitable that the relationship between mother and son will be hurt.

Being disliked by the emperor caused a estrangement between mother and son, and the two sides fought against each other.

Queen Mother Liu E also met such a kind emperor as Zhao Zhen.

If he had encountered those with gloomy thoughts, he would probably have become fertilizer in the imperial garden.

After Cao Yi finished slandering Zhao Zhen, he looked at Kou Jida eagerly and said: "So, you really gave my Cao family a great wealth."

According to the court's practice, it is inevitable that the emperor's father-in-law and the emperor's brother-in-law will be promoted to official positions in the future.

If there is only one boy and a half left for the emperor, the next three or four generations will not have to worry.

These things cannot be sold with money.

Kou Ji glanced at Cao Yi and said in a neutral tone: "Do you believe what I said now?"

Cao Yi nodded vigorously.

After a pause, Cao Ji looked at Kou Ji and asked, "Actually, you should have a better choice, why did you choose my Cao family?"

Kou Ji naturally understood the meaning of Cao Yi's words.

The better choice Cao Yi was referring to was Xiang's little sister.

Based on the relationship between Kou Ji and the Xiang family, if he made the Xiang family's younger sister the queen, he would not only be able to get promoted to a higher position, but he would also be able to close the relationship between the Kou family and the royal family.

Zhao Zhen didn't need to secretly call him fourth brother in private.

Instead, you can call Kou Ji brother-in-law in all informal situations.

No one else can find anything wrong.

Kou Ji said quietly: "If the post falls to your Cao family, it means wealth, but if it falls to the Xiang family, it may not mean wealth."

Kou Ji knew the virtues of Xiang Minzhong's sons.

Not only can they not be a help to little sister Xiang Jia, but they will become a burden to little sister Xiang Jia.

If the little sister of the Xiang family becomes the queen, then the people of the Xiang family will not be able to use the name of the little sister of the Xiang family to make money wantonly.

When the time comes, the younger sister of the Xiang family may be implicated by her family, impeached, and lose her post.

From ancient times to the present, few queens who have lost their throne have ended well.

Unless the emperor loves her very much.

But Zhao Zhen clearly has someone hidden in his heart, so how could he pamper the little girl of the Xiang family again?

Others don't understand Zhao Zhen, but Kou Ji does.

Zhao Zhen is a person who abides by rules very much, but also attaches great importance to friendship.

Historical records record that during Liu E's reign, she seemed to regard Zhao Zhen as a mouthpiece and a puppet.

Even so, Zhao Zhen did not do anything extreme after taking office, and he did not take revenge on Liu E's family.

In addition, Zhao Zhen did not take away the Zhang daughter from Daibei after she was given to Liu Congmei by Liu E.

However, after taking office, he doted on another daughter of the Zhang family. If it had not been dissuaded by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he would have made Zhang's daughter his queen.

At that time, Queen Cao was still alive.

Zhao Zhen probably felt that he owed something to the Zhang daughter in Daibei, so he compensated it to another Zhang daughter.

It can be seen that even if the younger sister of the Xiang family became the queen with Kou Ji's support, it would be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the queen's position.

In this case, why would Kou Ji do such a thankless thing again?

When Cao Ji heard what Kou Ji said, he felt that Kou Ji was worried that the Xiang family's background was not enough to support the Xiang family's little sister to sit in the back seat, and didn't think much about anything else.

He was even a little secretly happy in his heart.

If it weren't for Xiangjia's insufficient background.

How could such a good thing happen to the Cao family?

Cao Yi stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "What does the fourth brother want to do with the Cao family when he comes to me?"

Kou Ji smiled and said: "Originally, I wanted to find Uncle Cao and discuss it with Uncle Cao. But since Uncle Cao has sent you here, I will discuss it with you. When you go back, bring a message to Uncle Cao and ask him to restrain your Cao family.

My son, please don’t go out and cause trouble these days, lest your reputation as a playboy spread throughout the government and the public, and the courtiers will look down upon your Cao family, and they will also look down on Sister Cao."

When Cao Yi heard this, he nodded heavily.

Even if Kou Ji doesn't mention this matter, he still has to tell Cao Wei and restrain the Cao family's children after he returns.

When Kou Ji saw Cao Ji nodding in agreement, he continued: "Then let the other girls of your Cao family go out to build shacks and make porridge when they have nothing to do, and let the people in Bianjing help spread the reputation of your Cao family's girls.

.”

Cao Yi nodded again.

Cao Ji naturally knew what Kou Ji's purpose was.

The reputation of the other women of the Cao family for being virtuous and virtuous has spread, so the sister of the Cao family who was specially selected to be sent to the palace is naturally the one who is better than the others.

Seeing that Kou Ji stopped talking, Cao Yi asked doubtfully: "What next?"

Kou Ji spread his hands and said in surprise: "That's all."

Cao Yi said in astonishment: "It's so easy to plan for a posthumous position?"

Kou Ji's face darkened, and he said angrily: "It's not that easy. If it was really just about giving out some porridge and gaining a good reputation, then Bianjing would have become a paradise on earth without hunger.

The final decision on the ownership of the queen's position must be made by the Queen Mother and the officials.

The reason why you, Cao Mansion, are asked to sacrifice porridge to become famous is just to avoid the impeachment of the officials after they select Sister Cao."

Cao Ji pondered: "If the Queen Mother does not agree, then wouldn't our Cao family's porridge be in vain?"

Kou Ji rubbed his head and cursed in a low voice: "Are you stupid? The person sitting in the back seat is a person who wants his mother to honor the world. If he doesn't have a virtuous name, how can his mother honor the world.

Sister Cao has a reputation as a virtuous person, but others do not.

The officials appointed Sister Cao to be the queen.

When the Queen Mother appoints other people, who should the officials turn to? Do you need to ask more?

No matter who the Queen Mother designates as Queen, they will all be outdone by Sister Cao.

The officials will naturally speak for Sister Cao.

Nowadays, the Queen Mother can no longer cover the sky with one hand.

With the support of the official family and hundreds of officials, the phoenix crown will surely fall on Sister Cao's head."

After listening to Kou Ji's analysis, Cao Ji stood up and bowed deeply to Kou Ji, "If this happens, my Cao family owes you a favor."

Kou Ji was stunned and stared at Cao Yi with a half-smile, "Will your Cao family be willing to give me whatever I want?"

Cao Yi nodded solemnly.

No matter how much you pay for the prosperity of the Cao family for generations, it is worth it.

Kou Ji stood up, patted Cao Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, go back and prepare quickly... Time waits for no one... I am not the only smart person in Bianjing City. I can think of ideas to gain fame.

Others can think of it too."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yi clasped his fists and quickly left the Kou Mansion.

Kou Ji stared at Cao Ji's leaving figure, smiled and shook his head and said, "Whatever I want, your Cao family can give it to me? I'm afraid that when I cut the flesh, your Cao family won't be able to part with it."

Kou Ji shook his sleeves.
