Chapter 0596 The high place respectfully stops the car
Ye Li Yuqi's status in Xixia was not low, but his knowledge and vision were limited.
He could hear clearly what was being planned for the country using the world as a chess piece, but he could only understand half of it.
There are countless smart people in the world, and talents are like carps crossing the river.
But there are very few people who can plan the world.
There are even fewer people who can play the world as a chess piece.
Because the vast majority of people have always focused on their own little piece of land, and few can take a broad view of the world.
Among those who look at the world, few can understand it.
When Mr. Xia saw that Ye Li Yu Qi was deep in thought, he stopped talking and continued to enjoy his drinking.
…
After Kou Ji came out of Qingtang Posthouse, he sat in a carriage and prepared to return to the courtyard outside the city.
On the way to Zhouqiao, I bumped into Gong Gao who was about to return home.
When Gao Chugong saw Kou Ji's carriage, he took the initiative to stop the carriage, opened the curtain, and talked to Kou Ji.
"Have the officials finished their work?"
Kou Ji opened the car curtain and saw Gao Chang Gong's smiling face. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Privy Council Gao..."
After a pause, he added: "I just finished my work."
Gao Chugong took the initiative to invite: "Are you free? If you are free, please find a place to sit with me."
Kou Ji was in a hurry to go home to amuse his son and deliberately refused Gao Chugong's invitation. However, considering that it was the first time that Gao Chugong invited him, he still reluctantly agreed.
Gao Chugong saw Kou Ji's hesitant expression, but he was not angry either.
The two of them ordered the coachman and drove the carriage along the imperial street.
Arriving at Fanlou, I got off the carriage.
The two of them were about to go sit in the Fan Building. As soon as they reached the door, they were stopped by the Fan Building's clerk.
"Two princes, the small building has been taken over by someone today... I can't entertain you two... I hope you will forgive me for offending me... Choose a day, and the owner of the small building will come back in person with gifts.
Apologize, and please don’t blame me..."
Fanlou is the first building in Bianjing City, and can even be said to be the first restaurant in the Song Dynasty.
The clerks in Fanlou are naturally not ordinary clerks.
The clerks at Fan Lou receive all dignitaries, so they are very familiar with the dignitaries in Bianjing City.
Even some dignitaries who have not been seen for a long time can be recognized quickly.
So Kou Ji and Gao Chugong were recognized as soon as they got off the carriage.
Fan Lou has a backstage, and everyone in Bianjing knows it.
There are many people who can't afford to offend Fan Lou's backstage, but Kou Ji and Gao Chugong are not included.
So after seeing the two of them, the waiter immediately apologized and promised his boss that he would come to apologize in person.
To politely refuse the two princes to sit down is to refute the face of the two princes. Regardless of whether they care about it or not, the attitude of admitting mistakes must be sincere.
Maybe people will see that because of your sincerity in admitting your mistakes, adults will not remember the faults of villains.
Even if there is a fight between them, there is still room for maneuver.
Gao Chugong heard what Fan Lou said and curled his lips, "Who is so arrogant and generous? I have lived in Bianjing City for decades, and I have never seen many people who can afford Fan Lou?"
Fan Lou's waiter kept smiling but said nothing.
Gao Chugong glared at him, "You're a smart little guy and don't want to offend anyone. Then I'll send someone to see it myself."
Fan Lou's clerk gave a bitter smile and still didn't speak.
He cannot participate in the confrontation between high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials.
The end of talking too much is death.
Their boss would not protect him, and would even hand him over to appease the anger of the dignitaries.
Gao Chugong sent someone to take a look and found out who was occupying Fan Tower.
Gao Chugong curled his lips at Kou Ji and said: "His Royal Highness, the new King of Wei in our Great Song Dynasty, is really majestic. He invited a few lowly people to a banquet and actually booked the entire Fan Tower."
Gao Chugong spoke lightly, but the dissatisfaction in his words was undisguised.
He had been fighting with the Wei royal family for a long time, and the two sides had long been incompatible with each other.
Now that I have been humiliated, I naturally don’t feel good about it.
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "I am from the royal family, how dare you threaten the royal family?"
Gao Chugong's face darkened slightly and he did not answer.
After thinking about it for a moment, Gao Guangggong suggested: "Then let's go sit on the flower boat on the Jinshui River?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "I won't go! I don't like the fireworks and willow alley."
Gao Chugong was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Kou Ji said seriously: "I'm afraid they will be greedy for my body."
The corner of Gao Chugong's mouth twitched, and he laughed dryly and said: "I didn't expect that the Kou officials were so funny. If you don't want to go to the flower boat, then go to Changle Tower. How about it?"
Kou Ji said helplessly: "Can't you find a place without women?"
Gao Guogong shouted: "What fun is there in a place without women?"
Kou Ji stared at Gao Zhanggong with a faint look, "Are we going to find a place to talk, or are we going to escort a prostitute?"
Gao Chugong sighed and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "You kid, you look more like an old man than me."
Then he said with regret: "Then let's go to Chenlou."
Kou Ji nodded and prepared to get on the carriage.
Gao Chugong said reluctantly: "You really don't want to find a few beauties to accompany you?"
Kou Ji turned around, looked at Gao Zhanggong up and down, and said quietly: "Are you sure... you have the will and strength?"
Gao Chugong was stunned for a moment, his face flushed red, he stared at Kou Ji and growled: "I'm the Tenth Girl of the Night..."
"Anyway, no one saw it, you can say a hundred..."
"You bastard, if you don't believe it, I'll take you back home and try it for yourself."
"..."
Faced with Gao Gaogang's furious shouting, Kou Ji decisively slipped into the carriage.
He just wanted to make a quick talk, but he forgot that in the Song Dynasty, it was a very common thing to hold an unobstructed meeting and give each other concubines.
What Gao Gao Kyoufei wanted to show him was the truth.
Kou Ji couldn't bear it and ran away decisively.
Gao Guangjing saw Kou Ji getting on the carriage and shouted at the carriage: "It doesn't matter if you don't go today. There will be an elegant party at my house in a few days. You can come and see it."
Kou Ji didn't say anything. After getting on the carriage, he decisively ordered the coachman and drove the carriage towards Chen Tower.
"Old gangster..."
Kou Ji muttered something in his heart and sat in the carriage with his eyes closed to relax, wondering in his mind why Gao Shang Gong came to find him.
After Kou Ji left, Gao Chugong got into the carriage and followed Kou Ji's footsteps.
All the way to Chenlou.
Under the personal guidance of the shopkeeper, we sat down in the private room on the third floor.
Gao Shang Gong complained angrily to Kou Ji several times, and then said with a resentful look: "From now on, we are all a family, can't you just follow my wishes?"
"Family?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and said: "Are you going to let your granddaughter or great-granddaughter be my son's concubine? Let's agree first that it must be a legitimate daughter. The dowry given by a concubine is too small. I'm afraid that my son will be wronged.
.”
Kou Ji was very generous when it came to his son's marriage.
He can marry one, but his son cannot marry one.
His son is the least worthy and has to marry ten or eight people.
People are like this. They are harsh to themselves, but generous to their children and grandchildren, who wish to give all the good things in the world to their children and grandchildren.
When Gao Chugong heard Kou Ji's words, he was stunned for a moment. Instead of getting angry, he said thoughtfully: "Is the Kou family willing to marry our Gao family?"
There are not many marriages between civil servants and military officials in Bianjing.
Civil servants are noble and have high status, and basically they all look down on military honors.
Not to mention getting married.
Often when high-status civil servants reveal their intention to get married, military heroes dare to approach them and propose marriage.
In this regard, martial artists are shameless and not important at all.
Anyone who wants to be honorable in this regard cannot become a martial artist.
The Gao, Cao, Shi and Pan families have been passed down for generations and have not declined, not only because of the merits established by their ancestors and themselves, but also because of the huge in-law relationship.
The warriors also formed alliances through marriage relationships.
As long as they can win over an ally, stabilize their position, or gain face, they don't care.
Not to mention asking them to rush to propose marriage, even if they are asked to pay a large dowry, they are also willing.
In the Song Dynasty, married women were given high dowries, which was the trend they brought about.
After Gao Chugong finished speaking, he continued without waiting for Kou Ji to speak: "As long as my daughter from the Gao family can be your son's wife, you can choose any daughter from my Gao family.
It's easy to talk about dowry and everything.
As long as you don’t touch the foundation of my Gao family, you can choose whatever is left."
What Gao Chugong said was very sincere, and it can be said that he was full of sincerity.
He is more sensible and generous than the people of the Xiang family. He deeply understands the benefits that getting along with Kou Ji can bring to the Gao family.
The Xiang family married a legitimate daughter to Kou's house and became Kou Ji's official wife.
But Xiang's family is not sensible, so he has not received any benefit from Kou Ji so far.
Look at the Cao family. After getting involved with Kou Ji, Kou Ji would always think of them no matter what good things happened.
He helped the Cao family get a queen, divided the members of the Cao family's textile and steel forging workshops, which made a lot of money, and also helped Cao Ji find a position as the manager of the Yizijiaozi shop.
Let’s look at the Li family again. As soon as they caught up with Kou Ji, they were allocated 500,000 acres of fertile farmland from Hexi.
Let’s look at the Liu family and the Zhu family, two families with broken houses.
In the past, the Liu family and the Zhu family could only seek wealth through others.
What now?
They can seek wealth and honor themselves and promise wealth to others.
Kou Ji is a capable person and a master of making money. This is a well-known thing in Bianjing City.
To catch up with Kou Ji is to catch up with the God of Wealth.
If Kou Ji dares to open his mouth and let out a gap, Gao Zhanggong will be able to hit the snake and follow it with a stick.
When Kou Ji heard Gao Chugong's words, he twitched his lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Gao Chugong frowned and said solemnly: "You don't like my Gao family?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "Being able to marry the Gao family is also a good thing for my son. When your Gao family's legitimate daughter married, the dowry she brought was enough for my son to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
If my son gets into any trouble, he can still be safe with the help of your Gao family's iron scroll of alchemy."
Kou Ji actually had no intention of marrying the Gao family.
It's just that for this reason, there must be room for it, and the Gao family cannot be offended to death.
Even if you refuse, you should refuse politely.
Although Kou Ji is not afraid of the Gao family now, there is no need to make enemies for himself in private.
Although the two were in court, they often quarreled over government affairs.
But that was in the court room.
It cannot be brought privately.
Public is public, private is private.
They cannot be confused.
Anyone who does not distinguish between public and private affairs will either become someone else's pawn in the court, or they will die miserably.
Although Wang Zeng, Lu Yijian and other civil servants and military officials fought fiercely in the court, it was also common for them to get together to eat, drink and have fun in private.
Unless there is a fight to the death, civil and military parties rarely quarrel in private.
During Kou Zhun's reign, he often impeached Wu Xun in the court and often made things difficult for the dandy children of Wu Xun's family in private.
But who has seen him not dealing with Gao Chugong and others in private?
Impeachment in court is a public matter.
Teaching those dandy boys a lesson is for the elders to teach the younger ones. As long as they are not cruel, there will be no enmity.
Gao Chugong frowned even more when he heard Kou Ji's words, "Then why didn't you agree?"
Kou Ji said calmly: "As my biological father, I can agree, but who is his godfather? Can you guarantee it?"
Gao Chugong stopped talking for a moment.
Zhao Zhen's importance to Kou Tianci is obvious to all.
Zhao Zhen was unable to give Kou Tian a royal surname due to Kou Zhun's obstruction, but this did not prevent Zhao Zhen from using other methods to turn him into a royal person.
For example, marry a princess.
If you can't give birth to a princess, you can still marry a sister.
Although his sister is a little bit older than Kou Tianci, who cares about age when it comes to in-laws?
Kou Tianci, the royal son-in-law-to-be, is 90% certain.
In the past, the dignitaries in Bianjing City could eat meat from Zhao Zhen's bowl regardless of Zhao Zhen's attitude.
Now you try again?
With the domineering Zhao Zhen is showing now, even if he can't kill you openly, he will put countless little shoes on you secretly.
You can't kill others, so you are destined to be killed by others in the end.
It doesn't work at all to say that Kou Tianci is Zhao Zhen's godson.
These days, there are countless cases of cousins marrying cousins and cousins marrying cousins.
Therefore, it is not a big deal for a godson to marry his own daughter or his own sister.
When Kou Ji saw Gao Chugong's face was gloomy and silent, he knew that Zhao Zhen had shocked Gao Chugong. He sighed and said, "Why did Gao Gong invite me to come over for a banquet today?"
Gao Chugong slowly came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about how we are a family."
Kou Ji looked confused.
Gao Chugong said: "Now that my Gao family has a member of Yizijiaozipu, we can also be regarded as the owners of Yizijiaozipu. Aren't we the same family as the owners of Yizijiaozipu?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized.
It turns out that the family Gao Chugong mentioned was referring to Yizijiaozipu.
He almost got it wrong.
When Kou Ji mentioned the members of Yizijiaozipu, he looked at Gao Chuanggong with some inexplicable meaning.
"Does Mr. Gao intend to keep the members of Yizijiaozipu in his hands instead of handing them over to the officials?"
