Under Chen Lin's sincere gaze, Kou Ji handed over the follow-up method of treating Zhao Yiyi, also known as Zhao Zhen.
Kou Ji wrote the method on a piece of paper.
Chen Lin held the paper in her hand, her eyes lingering on the paper and Kou Ji's face for a long time.
"Are you kidding us?"
Kou Ji spread his hands and said, "It's about the prince's safety. How could I possibly play tricks on you?"
Chen Lin stared, raised the paper in her hand, and said angrily: "What is the difference between your method and the previous method? Except for the decrease in the quantity of milk and other items, other things remain unchanged, and you still say it is not a joke.
Our home?"
Kou Ji rolled his eyes, "The poison is introduced bit by bit, so naturally it needs to be removed bit by bit. The erysipelas remains unchanged, and the antidote will naturally remain unchanged."
Chen Lin was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "Our family is also an expert in using poison."
Kou Ji took a few steps back, sat on the bed, crossed his legs, and said jokingly: "Then why didn't you see that the official and the prince were seriously poisoned before?"
"you……"
Chen Lin was choked by Kou Ji and could not speak. He pointed at Kou Ji angrily.
After a long time, he couldn't think of a retort, so he could only snort and walk away.
Kou Ji waited until Chen Lin left and then lay on the bed.
He didn't sleep, thinking about something in his mind.
As Zhao Heng fell completely ill and lost the ability to govern the government, Liu E's desire to control power at that moment gradually became unbearable.
In the past, when Zhao Heng could occasionally appear in the court to manage affairs, although Liu E could interfere in the affairs of the court, it could only be done in the inner court.
That is to say, he occasionally represented Zhao Heng, discussing government affairs with the three prime ministers and assistants, and helping Zhao Heng review memorials, but he could not come to the stage openly and interfere with matters in the court.
It's different now, Liu E has a tendency to come to the stage.
The fact that she appeared in Zishi Hall in front of hundreds of officials and sat in charge of Zishi Hall was an obvious signal.
Now as long as she recruits officials from the DPRK and China, a large number of people will definitely join her and be used by her.
Ding Wei came back from the dead and joined forces with Cao Liang, and Ding's party began to get ready to move.
Plus his grandfather Kou Zhun's people.
The three hills above the court have been erected.
The struggle for power has begun.
The winner has the right to speak in the country, while the loser is destined to be exiled from Beijing and die in a foreign land.
Kou Ji doesn't need to take sides, because no matter what time, he can only stand by Kou Zhun's side.
Liu E, a queen, tried to get rid of him, a small seventh-rank official, and it was not just as simple as not liking him.
Kou Ji felt that Liu E did this more to cut off the influence of Kou Zhun and others on Zhao Zhen.
Because no matter how they fight, Zhao Zhen's status will not be shaken.
He is destined to become the master of this beautiful country.
Whoever can influence him and control him will have more say in this drama of power struggle.
There is no doubt that Liu E wants to control Zhao Zhen and have more say.
For Liu E, Kou Zhun, Ding Wei and others, the outcome of this power struggle is unknown.
But for Kou Ji, the outcome of this power struggle is already known.
In the end Liu E will win.
She will first unite with Ding Wei and Cao Yunyong to drive out Kou Zhun; then she will unite with Cao Yunyong to drive out Ding Wei; and finally she will have the power and get rid of Cao Yunyong.
Are Ding Wei and Cao Lili fools?
no!
No one who can sit in their position is stupid.
But in the end they were all taken advantage of by Liu E and were defeated by Liu E.
Historical books say that Liu E "had Lu Wu's talents but not Lu Wu's evil".
This shows how powerful she is.
What worries Kou Ji now is whether he wants to participate in this struggle for power.
With his current status, even if he participated, it would be difficult for him to enter the struggle at the top of power and affect the overall situation.
At most, I just play drums and run errands.
Unless Kou Zhun is willing to delegate power to him and let him preside over this struggle for power.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to turn the overall situation around.
"It's a bit wishful thinking..."
As soon as Kou Jixian came up with this idea, he smiled bitterly.
He sighed and pushed the thought out of his mind.
As far as Kou Zhun is concerned, he is still a small role, and it is impossible for Kou Zhun to give him the leading role in the fight for power.
And those who follow Kou Zhun will not even believe him.
They have been in the officialdom for many years, how can they obey the orders of a small role player who has just entered the officialdom?
"If we can't get involved, then we can only ease the relationship with Liu E? In the future, if my grandfather fails to fight for power, can he ensure the wealth of the Kou family?"
Another idea came to Kou Ji's mind.
However, this idea was quickly driven out of his mind.
Ask him to curry favor with Liu E, but he can't do it.
"What should I do?"
Kou Ji closed his eyes and muttered irritably.
"Kou Ji, Kou Ji..."
Just when Kou Ji was upset, Zhao Zhen trotted into the dormitory.
He ran to Kou Ji's bed, took out the pastry wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, put it next to Kou Ji, and said: "I went to have dinner with the eldest lady today, and I thought this meat cake was particularly delicious, so I brought it to you.
Some.
Please try it quickly, I heard it is made with rare treasures donated from Yongzhou.
I guarantee you have never eaten it before."
Kou Ji sat up, picked up the handkerchief, and when he opened it, he saw four pieces of meat cake.
The meatloaf is very delicately made, has a light fragrance, and smells good.
Kou Ji took a piece and tasted it.
Zhao Zhen stared at the side and asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Kou Ji nodded, "It's delicious..."
Kou Ji didn't say anything against his will, it was indeed delicious.
Although nowadays, most of the meals inside and outside the palace are still in the cooking stage, stir-fry has just emerged and has not yet become popular all over the country. Most of the food in the palace tastes very average.
But this pastry is different. Its craftsmanship has been passed down for countless years, and the skills have become exquisite. The pastries made by the imperial chef are somewhat more delicious than most pastries in later generations.
Coupled with Yongzhou's rare delicacies to enhance the flavor, it is naturally delicious.
Zhao Zhen was happy when he heard this, "If you like it, I will bring it to you next time."
Zhao Zhen's smile is bright and innocent.
Kou Ji looked at it and felt much better.
In a vague way, Kou Ji connected Zhao Zhen with Zhao Zhen in later film and television dramas.
He remembered that he had watched a film and television drama, which was about Liu E's struggle for power.
In the film and television drama, after Liu E won the power struggle, she sat side by side with Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen is on the left and Liu E is on the right.
Whenever a court official wanted to report something, he would first report to Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen would timidly say, "Everything is decided by the eldest lady..."
At that time, Zhao Zhen had been on the throne for several years. At that time, Zhao Zhen seemed to be twenty years old.
He is like a mouthpiece, more than an emperor.
When watching movies and TV series, he felt that Zhao Zhen was really useless.
Now that the living Zhao Zhen was in front of him, he felt more of a kind of pity.
"That's all, let's just fight...Historically you would win, but now that there's me, that's not necessarily the case."
Kou Ji habitually reached out his hand and stroked Zhao Zhen's head. He stretched out his hand halfway and then retracted it.
He looked at Zhao Zhen and said lightly: "Little guy, I have to do something big for you. You must not let me down in the future, otherwise I don't know what I will do..."
Zhao Zhen was confused when he heard Kou Ji's words and didn't understand a single word.
However, he still nodded heavily, said seriously with a straight face, "I will not let you down."
Kou Ji was amused by him, "It's useless to talk about this now."
Zhao Zhen said with a somewhat unconvinced voice, "I am the prince, my father's only son."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said the same thing, "It's useless..."
"you……"
Zhao Zhen stared at him, and just as he was about to retort, he heard Kou Ji say quietly: "I guess I will leave the East Palace soon..."
Zhao Zhen was a little dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he said in shock: "You want to leave?"
"Um!"
Kou Ji nodded.
Zhao Zhen was a little panicked, "Did I do something wrong to offend you? Do you want to leave me?"
Kou Ji shook his head dumbfounded, "It has nothing to do with you, it's because some people don't want to see me stay in the palace."
Zhao Zhen became anxious and shouted: "Who? Who is it? Tell me, I will ask the eldest lady to catch him now! Kill him!"
Kou Ji was stunned, shook his head and smiled.
He didn't expect that Zhao Zhen would actually threaten to kill someone, and it was because of him.
He felt somewhat relieved.
However, he did not tell Zhao Zhen the truth.
It would be unwise to tell Zhao Zhen the truth now and let him have a conflict with Liu E.
Once Kou Ji leaves the East Palace, the entire palace will be completely controlled by Liu E.
If Zhao Zhen and Liu E have a conflict, they will suffer.
"Who it is, you don't need to ask any more. I'm going to give you a few words now, and you need to keep them in mind."
Kou Ji said quietly.
Zhao Zhen covered his ears, pouted, and said with red eyes: "I won't listen! I don't want to hear it!"
Kou Ji ignored him, but glanced outside the door and said calmly: "Since you are back, let's listen together. You can also remind him if necessary."
Kou Ji's words fell to the ground.
Chen Lin slowly walked in from the door.
He stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "You have something important to entrust to His Highness, and our family shouldn't listen to it."
Kou Ji sighed: "You are the only one in this palace who is really good to him and is dedicated to him. He is still young, and he may forget my instructions in a few days, so I need you to remind me."
Chen Lin bowed and said solemnly: "Please read the advice!"
He took out the process of accepting remonstrances in the court, but only replaced a record-keeping historian.
Kou Ji nodded, looked at Zhao Zhen, and said seriously: "After I leave the palace, you must remember to be patient when things happen. Even if you can't help it, you must endure it. In everything, please put the queen first, and do everything with dignity.
I need to ask the queen what she means."
Zhao Zhen heard what Kou Ji said, but he didn't react at all. He just stared at Kou Ji with red eyes and tears.
On the other hand, Chen Lin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Do you think the Queen will take power?"
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Hasn't it begun to take power now?"
Chen Lin said coldly: "That was allowed by the officials, and they can take it back at any time."
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "The official family can't take it back!"
"impossible!"
Chen Lin shouted categorically.
Kou Ji glanced at him and asked: "The official is bedridden and can only wake up for an hour every day. He cannot manage the government at all and needs someone to help him. The prince is young, even if he supervises the country, he cannot manage the government.
Who do you think can help him?
Royal clan?
Or my grandfather, or Ding Wei, or Li Di?
Once the former takes power, they may replace it at any time.
Once the latter takes power, it is easy to coerce the emperor and order the princes.
Therefore, they can only assist the government, but cannot lead it.
There must always be someone in the palace who can speak for the officials and speak for the prince.
Do you think anyone else in the palace besides the queen can do this?
Besides the queen, who else has this qualification?"
Kou Ji's words shocked Chen Lin physically and mentally.
He stared, trembling all over, but couldn't say a word to refute.
Zhao Zhen was still young and did not understand the meaning of Liu E's taking power. He had not yet taken power and had not experienced the feeling of being oppressed by others, so he still looked at Kou Ji with red eyes in confusion.
Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and continued: "After I leave the palace, no matter who dissuades you, you must not neglect your martial arts. The process of practicing martial arts can not only help you develop a strong body, but also help you develop a strong personality."
A firm heart.”
Zhao Zhen said nothing.
Chen Lin came to her senses and gritted her teeth and said: "Our family will definitely watch His Highness practice martial arts."
Kou Ji nodded and said, "You have to remember, no matter who says anything bad about me in front of you, don't believe it, because I stand with you."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen finally spoke, crying: "I knew it..."
Kou Ji shook his head dumbfounded and said: "It's not like we are separated by life and death, so there is no need to be so sad. When the weather is clear and the weather is clear, we will get together again."
After a pause, Kou Ji added: "If you really care about me, don't tell others what I said tonight. Otherwise, I will be in great trouble."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I won't tell others..."
"Including your two wives."
"Including the eldest empress and the little empress..."
"That's good."
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."
Zhao Zhen stood in front of Kou Ji's bed and refused to leave.
Chen Lin forcibly dragged him away.
After Zhao Zhen returned to his bed, he felt sad for a long time.
It wasn't until late at night that I couldn't stand it any longer, so I fell asleep.
After Zhao Zhen fell asleep, Chen Lin returned to Kou Ji's bedside.
He looked at Kou Ji's face under the moonlight and said faintly: "Our family has always thought that you are sincerely good to the prince. But what you said today was so heartwarming that our family suddenly felt like we couldn't see through you.
.
Our family believes your words, but we are a little suspicious of you.
Our family still needs to take another look to see which of you is truly a prince.
For those who truly care about the prince, our family will be grateful to him.
If there is someone who has designs on the prince, our family will definitely not let him go.
I'm afraid you don't know, right?
The officials also handed over the Dongmen Medicine Storehouse to our family."
Night, silent.
The moon is like water.
The moonlight shone on Chen Lin's face, and there was a hint of ferocity on his face.
