No wonder Wu Xian, a young imperial censor, dared to attack Kou Zhun.
It turns out that Kou Zhun, the prime minister, is only in name only, and people are not afraid of him.
Kou Ji was thinking about Kou Zhun's problem secretly, but Kou Zhun thought that Kou Ji didn't care about the affairs of the court, so he smiled bitterly and said: "I told you to have a child to listen to the matters in the court... I'm confused..."
"You go down first, I want to be alone for a while."
Kou Zhun waved his hands and slumped down on the chair tiredly.
Kou Ji slowly came to his senses and wanted to point out the problem of Kou Zhun's difficulty in the court.
But the moment he spoke, he hesitated.
The crux of the problem still lies with Zhao Heng. If Zhao Heng had not doted on Ding Wei and Liu E, how could they dare to ignore Kou Zhun?
If Kou Zhun wants to regain the power that belongs to him, he must start with Zhao Heng.
Let Kou Zhun flatter Zhao Heng?
Will he be willing?
Kou Zhun has been in the court for many years, so he may have already seen the problem.
He obviously didn't want to flatter Zhao Heng.
Kou Ji couldn't force Kou Zhun to flatter him.
He also didn't want Kou Zhun to change from an upright minister to a slanderous minister.
He could only look at the tired Kou Zhun, bowed and said, "Grandson, please leave."
When Kou Zhun walked to the door of the main hall, Kou Zhun's voice sounded from behind him.
"Wu Xian, the imperial censor, took bribes and perverted the law, allowed his younger brother to commit murder, and took human life seriously. The three-division trial has been completed and he has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. He will be assassinated on Salmon Island in seven days."
Kou Ji paused and said in surprise: "So fast?"
Kou Zhun hummed and said: "Who dares to delay the joint trial of the three divisions appointed by the government? Wu Xian is unbearable. He grasps the clues and is involved in a life-threatening lawsuit. Can you be unhappy?"
Kou Ji nodded.
He was not surprised that Wu Xian was convicted.
Wu Xian had been an official for only a few years and had accumulated more than 100,000 yuan in wealth. It would be surprising if he was innocent.
As long as such a person is investigated, he will be identified accurately.
What surprised him was that the court's efficiency was so fast.
"What about Wu Ming?"
"Behead immediately!"
Kou Ji was astonished, "Is he going to kill you immediately?"
Kou Zhun nodded and said: "That's natural, he also had a share in the murder case."
Kou Ji nodded slowly and murmured: "Then I'll be relieved..."
Kou Zhun asked, "Why don't you worry?"
What are you worried about?
Of course, since Wu Ming was sentenced to death by execution, there was no need for me to kill him and take human life for no reason.
Naturally, it was impossible to tell Kou Zhun what Kou Ji was thinking. He clucked his lips and said, "It's nothing... I just think that it was a murder case. Wu Xian only stabbed his partner, but Wu Ming executed him immediately. The difference is a bit big."
.”
When Kou Zhun heard this, he was stunned, looked at Kou Ji meaningfully, and said calmly: "You can't punish a doctor..."
Kou Zhun stopped talking and did not go into depth.
Probably because he felt that instilling this kind of thinking into his grandson was not in line with his temperament.
However, he didn't know that Kou Ji instantly understood the profound meaning contained in his words.
"My grandson is resigning..."
"etc."
Kou Zhun stopped Kou Ji again and pointed to the jade box on the table with some pain, "Today, the official gave me an elixir. You can take it."
"Elixir?!"
Kou Ji looked stunned and exclaimed: "Are there gods in this world?"
Kou Zhun's face darkened and he shouted: "That's nonsense. I have lived for almost sixty years and I have never seen any ghosts or gods."
"What about this elixir?"
Kou Ji pointed at the elixir with a questioning look on his face.
Kou Zhun said frankly: "It's just the longevity elixir refined by Taoists."
Kou Zhun didn't believe in the so-called miracles at all.
He has long been familiar with the methods used by Taoists to confuse officials.
He repeatedly exposed the Taoist deception methods in front of officials.
Not only did the officials not stop practicing Taoism, but they intensified it.
In the end, Kou Zhun was too lazy to care.
Kou Ji heard Kou Zhun's explanation and let out a sigh of relief.
If there really is a god in this world, then he would have to re-examine the world.
"Let me see what the elixir looks like..."
Kou Ji took a few steps forward and opened the jade box.
Then I saw a red elixir lying quietly in the box.
Kou Ji looked around, and finally looked at Kou Zhun with a strange expression.
"Grandfather...this is...the elixir?"
Kou Zhun glared at him, "Of course it's not a magic pill, it's just a pill that can prolong life."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched, and he said quietly: "Are you sure this thing can prolong life?"
Kou Zhun said angrily: "These Taoists spent hundreds of thousands of precious medicinal materials to refine this. How can the essence condensed from so many precious medicinal materials not prolong life?"
"If you don't want to eat it, keep it for me."
Kou Zhun was very angry.
He regarded Kou Ji as his own grandson, so he reluctantly gave up his love and gave up the elixir.
Unexpectedly, Kou Ji, a brat like him, would not appreciate it.
Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhun with a faint look, and said in a strange tone: "Grandpa... what if I told you that not only can this thing not prolong life, it is also poisonous?"
Kou Zhun was stunned and cursed: "Nonsense!"
Kou Ji sighed and said: "If you take this for a long time, it will cause dizziness, headache, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, insomnia, palpitations... If it is more serious, it will be difficult to have heirs..."
"bass!"
Kou Zhun stood up suddenly and stared at Kou Ji in disbelief.
His lips trembled as he said, "Really...really?"
The reason why Kou Zhun had such a big reaction was because half of the symptoms Kou Ji mentioned happened to him.
More importantly, the official Zhao Heng had all these symptoms.
Kou Ji didn't expect Kou Zhun to have such a big reaction. He was stunned and said in shock: "You... can't..."
Kou Zhun shouted anxiously: "Now is not the time to test your guess. Tell me quickly, is what you said true?"
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Seeing this, Kou Zhun quickly ran to Kou Ji, grabbed Kou Ji tightly with both hands, and asked in a trembling voice: "How do you know this?"
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and said nothing.
"explain!"
Kou Zhun roared.
Kou Ji felt that Kou Zhun was grabbing his hands very hard, and knew that Kou Zhun was really anxious.
He sighed and said quietly: "I can also refine this... As long as the materials are enough, I can refine dozens of pills a day..."
Speaking of which, Kou Ji has quite a connection with this thing.
When he entered the counterfeiting business, the first business he encountered was to imitate ancient elixirs.
Although he didn't know the buyer's intention to buy this thing, but because of the buyer's openness, he spent a long time researching and finally successfully refined a batch of ancient elixirs.
As a result, the buyer tricked him.
The ancient elixir he refined fell on his hand.
In order to remember this lesson, he specially made a bracelet from the refined ancient elixir and wore it on his hand to remind himself of it all the time.
