Chapter 1012 Families Gather(1/3)
Liu Yong felt more free and easy. When faced with Kou Ji's question, he chuckled and said: "In three and a half years, the student will be sixty. When he is almost sixty, he enters Bianjing City and only hangs around for a few days.
It's better not to mix.
Besides, the official system of the Song Dynasty is now very different from before, and students cannot understand the government affairs in some places.
Instead of sitting there and eating nothing, it would be better to leave in style.
A student is absurd in the first half of his life and cautious in the second half of his life.
It can be said that students work hard for their career.
After entering the official career, students realize that the official career is just like that.
Instead of continuing to hang out in the officialdom in a rigid manner, it is better to live the rest of your life as you please."
Kou Ji sighed: "I remember that in the past, you valued your career more than your life."
Liu Yong smiled calmly and said: "That was the Liu Yong of the past, not the Liu Yong of today. Ever since the students saw Mr. Kou Gonghe retire, the students' pursuit of an official career has become much weaker."
Kou Ji smiled and shook his head, "Since you have arrived in Qingguo, I can't ignore you. Tell me, how do you want to live in the future?"
Liu Yong said proudly: "The student is going to stay in Wenchang Academy to teach the first class of poetry. I dare not say anything else. But in the first class of poetry, no one in the world can beat the student with more than one hand."
Kou Ji grinned and said, "Don't talk too much. I'll introduce a little guy to you later."
Liu Yong was stunned, stroking his beard and said, "The little guy you are talking about is the Su Shi, the youngest son of the Su family?"
Kou Ji nodded.
Liu Yong said boldly: "Su Shi, the youngest son of the Su family, has some talent in poetry and is very spiritual, but the rough jade still needs to be carved.
The student believes that no one is more suitable than the student to carve this piece of rough jade."
Kou Ji nodded and said with a smile: "That's very good. I will make arrangements for you later."
Hearing this, Liu Yong stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Then I won't disturb you, student. I just arrived here and my wife and children still need to be settled at home, so I left first."
Kou Ji stood up to see them off, and after walking to the door, he asked curiously: "Mrs. Chong is over fifty and has given you two sons. How did you do it?"
Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Nothing else, just work hard."
Kou Ji laughed.
After sending Liu Yong away, Zhao Run appeared in front of Kou Ji in a cunning manner.
"Student Zhao Run, I met Mr...."
Kou Ji returned to the tea room. He took a seat at the front table with a golden sword, took a sip of tea, and asked Zhao Run in a moderate and moderate manner, "If you are not the prince in Bianjing City, what are you doing here?"
Zhao Run grinned and said, "I dare not lie to you sir. The student has been appointed as the magistrate of Longyuan County under the rule of Liaoyang Prefecture. This time he came here just to take office.
Longyuan County is separated from Qingguo by a river.
When students arrive in Longyuan County, they will naturally come to visit Mr.
"Magistrate of Longyuan County?"
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously: "How did you think of going to Longyuan County to serve as the county magistrate? Have you been framed again?"
Zhao Run shook his head, "That's not true. This matter was decided by my father. My father has decreed that after the older prince leaves the cabinet, he must remain anonymous and serve as a local official.
If you can achieve some success, you will be qualified to inherit his throne.
If you remain unknown, you will remain ordinary for the rest of your life."
When Kou Ji heard this, he pondered for a moment and said with emotion: "Your father is raising Gu."
Zhao Run smiled bitterly and nodded.
Kou Ji said frankly: "Although it is a bit cruel, it is good for the Song Dynasty. It's just unfair to you, the crown prince. Seeing that there is an extra layer of variables in the throne.
It is very likely that I will lose the throne because of this change."
Zhao Run said bluntly: "Students are mentally prepared."
Kou Ji thought for a while and said with a smile: "If you really want to be the emperor, you don't have to go to so much trouble. Although your husband and I have left the Song Dynasty, I still have some influence on all parties in the Song Dynasty.
Especially the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.
As long as Di Qing and I help you get involved, and as long as you are willing to spend money, 90% of the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will join you.
You just have to wave your hand, millions of troops will come to Bianjing, and the throne will be at your fingertips."
When Zhao Run heard this, he trembled and stared at Kou Ji with a horrified expression: "No... no need..."
Kou Ji curiously said: "This opportunity is rare! Since I dare to publicly support you in winning the throne, I have at least a 70% chance of winning. Do you really not think about it?"
Zhao Run looked sad and said sadly: "I don't know how to get up and how to get down."
Kou Ji laughed and scolded: "Cowardly people..."
Zhao Run hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Sir, Tianci and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you very much. I went to find Tianci."
After saying this, Zhao Run hurriedly escaped from the waiter before Kou Ji could speak again.
Kou Ji looked at the back of Zhao Run who escaped from the tea room and laughed.
After Liu Yong and Zhao Run met Kou Ji, one settled his family in the teacher's residence in Wenchang Academy, and the other found Kou Tianci and asked Kou Tianci to take him around Qingguo.
Three or five days passed like this.
The envoy from Xiyang appeared in front of Kou Ji with a letter.
The person who delivered the letter was a retainer of the Kou Mansion who had been sent by Kou Ji to assist Liu Boxu.
After the retainer saw Kou Ji, he quickly gave the letter to Kou Ji without saying much to him.
Kou Ji originally thought it was a letter from Liu Heng, but when he saw the words "uncle father Qi" written on the envelope, he knew that the letter was written by Liu Boxu.
Kou Ji opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, was slightly stunned, and then read Liu Boxu's letter carefully.
After reading Liu Boxu's letter carefully, Kou Ji looked at the retainer with a strange expression.
"Is what Bo Xu said in the letter true?"
The retainer nodded dumbfounded and said: "With the help of the villain and many other advisers, the King of Xiyang has learned how to manage politics, and he even manages things more properly than the villain and others.
Everything in Xiyang is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the arrangements of the Prince of Xiyang.
But since the old prince returned to Xiyang, everything has changed."
At this point, the customer looked hesitant.
Kou Ji finished his unfinished words for his retainer, "Liu Heng clearly didn't know how to govern the place, but he felt that he knew more about everything than Bo Xu after being an official for many years, so he made unbridled accusations and undermined the decrees carried out by Bo Xu.
The mess?"
The doorman smiled wryly and nodded.
Kou Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "I thought Liu Heng would recognize me clearly and would only interfere in Xiyang's military affairs after returning to Xiyang. Unexpectedly, Liu Heng was still too much.
He was not only intervening in Xiyang's military affairs, but also in Xiyang's government affairs.
Doesn't he know how much he weighs?"
The retainer said to Kou Ji: "It doesn't matter if the old prince interferes in Xiyang's government affairs. As long as he does the right thing, the people under his command will naturally believe in the old prince.
But the old prince was completely messing around.
The prince of Xiyang County finally made a decree based on the situation in Xiyang, but he overturned nearly 30% of the decrees.
If he continues to cause trouble, the years of hard work of Prince Xiyang may be in vain."
Kou Ji said angrily: "So Bo Xu asked you to send me a letter and asked me to bring Liu Heng here. It is best to tie Liu Heng here firmly and prevent him from returning to Xiyang to cause trouble?"
Is he still considered a son?
How can a son treat his father like this?"
The retainer hurriedly said: "The Prince of Xiyang County has said that he can send his two sons to the old prince for him to play with."
The corner of Kou Ji's mouth twitched.
"That's all, you can't blame others for this. After all, Liu Heng spent so little time with Bo Xu that Bo Xu didn't have much affection for him, so it was difficult to get close to him again.
Liu Heng's messing around in Xiyang is indeed detrimental to the development of Xiyang.
Xiyang is not as good as Qingguo, and it takes a lot of time to digest.
I will edit a book in a while and bring it to Liu Heng when I go back.
As for whether Liu Heng is willing to come over, that's not up to me."
The retainer nodded fiercely, "Your letter will definitely be useful. The old prince doesn't listen to anyone, he just listens to you."
Kou Ji glanced at the retainer and said, "Are you planning to follow Bo Xu to the end and not return to the Kou Mansion?"
When the disciple heard this, he said with a guilty look on his face: "I am not an ungrateful person, but I will do even greater things if I stay in Xiyang."
Kou Ji said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this. When I sent you to Xiyang, I had the intention of keeping you in Xiyang. I was just afraid that you wouldn't agree, so I never spoke.
Now that you are willing to stay in Xiyang, I have solved a heart problem."
The guest knelt at Kou Ji's feet with a solemn expression, and kowtowed three times to Kou Ji in a polite manner.
