At this time, Zhou Huaizheng's house was already in a mess.

Two eunuchs stood in front of Lei Yungong, and blew their heads and replied in fear.

"Eunuch Lei, I'm late to go, Eunuch Zhou is already..."

"Eunuch Lei..."

Lei Yungong looked at the two of them coldly, and before they could finish speaking, he interrupted and asked, "Where has Jinjiuzhu gone?"

The little eunuch looked panicked: "Little... I didn't ask."

Lei Yungong was furious and grabbed his clothes, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you ask? How could no one know about such a big object? Zhou Huaizheng's people? Are they all dead?"

The eunuch shivered with a bitter face: "Yes! Yes! They... They... are indeed dead! Father-in-law, don't you order to kill all Zhou Huaizheng's confidants and let us guard the queen and the prince?"

Lei Yungong was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand, and took a step back blankly.

Kou Zhun stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up at the cloudy sky with a sad face, and sighed from time to time.

Although he was driven out of the palace by the warriors in the palace, after all, the seniority of the three dynasties was there, and the fame of the scholars was there. Not to mention the warriors, even the emperor would not dare to touch him easily. Otherwise, not only did the officials not agree, but also the scholars of the world would not agree.

So after the warriors gave him "gifts" out of the palace, they sent people to escort him all the way back to Kou's mansion, for fear that something would happen to him on the road would cause a huge chaos.

From a certain perspective, an old minister who is truly at the peak of his ministers sometimes has even greater energy than that of the emperor.

When the emperor dies, a new emperor will naturally succeed him.

But if an old minister like Kou Zhun dies, it will be a huge loss to the country.

Of course, if you die of old age and illness, it’s nothing. After all, people will die once.

But if something happens, he is killed, or died of a conspiracy such as assassination, no scholar in the world will agree.

It’s not that the huge world cannot be separated from him. That’s not the case.

Simply put, it is four words - things hurt their kind.

If even an old minister like Kou Zhun could die inexplicably, who else would feel a little safe? Who would dare to become an official in the court?

Therefore, although Zhao Heng never liked Kou Zhun before his lifetime, he still had to respect him. He had to endure what he did wrong and was scolded and despised.

The emperor and the scholars and officials rule the world together!

This sentence is not just said, but it is a little darker to think. Even if Taizu originally intended to deal with the scholars and fool them into serving Zhao Song Jiangshan, decades have passed, and the fake has become real.

How smart are scholars? Almost every moment, people use this sentence as a talisman, from top to bottom, and swear to carry forward this sentence, so as to preserve and even infinitely elevate the status of scholars.

Kou Zhun is no exception, he is also a beneficiary of this national policy. For this reason, he does not want major changes in the country.

Who can be sure that if Zong Si inherited Dabao, in order to help Taizu vent his anger, the new emperor would not change the national policy? He would fight those scholars who seemed to be betraying Taizu to the end?

Of course, at Kou Zhun's age, with his character and personal honor and disgrace, he no longer cared about his personal honor and disgrace. But he had to worry that if there were really shocking changes, the suffering of scholars all over the world would be one aspect. What is terrible is whether it would cause chaos in the entire country or even collapse?

The people's hearts are unstable within and there are enemy enemies outside, which makes him, the veteran of the three dynasties, not worrying about his misery?

"Oh! The red and purple are tangled with red vermilion, and the fox fur is Mengrong. Your Majesty, you are not the time to leave! If the prince is a few years older, how could it be like this? How could it be like this!" Kou Zhun sighed to the sky, feeling melancholy in his heart.

At this time, Mrs. Kou came with a coat, put it on for him with concern, and said softly: "Master, be careful of the wind and cold."

Kou Zhun seemed to have not heard his wife's words, and seemed to have not known about Mrs. Kou's arrival.

Seeing that he was so sad that he felt uncomfortable, Mrs. Kou thought about it and spoke tactfully and persuaded: "Master, isn't it just being demoted to the magistrate of Xiangzhou? Let's go. It's not a bad thing to leave this place of right and wrong."

Kou Zhun looked at Ankong and sighed softly: "It's not as simple as you think! It's not that simple..."

At this time, a servant hurried over and stood in front of the two of them to report: "Master, the Beidou Defense Envoy is asking for a visit."

"Beidou Department..." Kou Zhunli pondered, pulled off his coat and handed it to his wife, and walked towards the front hall.

In the living room, Dongming was lowering his head to drink tea, his brows frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Mr. Tomyomi has been waiting for a long time." At this time, Kou Zhun strode in.

"You are polite to Gong Kou." Dongming quickly stood up and bowed his hand to the courtesy.

Kou Zhun raised his hand and said to be a gift. He glanced at Dongming and sighed: "Don't mention it. Thanks to the traitor, I am just a governor now, so there is no need to be called my husband."

He waved his hand and sat down, only a small table separated from Dongming, with tea poured by the maid.

Seeing that Dong had a solemn expression, Kou Zhun knew that he had something to say, so he waved his hand to leave the maid.

After the servants retreated, there were only two people left in the hall. Dongming said slowly: "Ding Wei tampered with the will, can Gong Kou have tangible evidence?"

"Evidence? Where did the evidence come from? The will was transferred by them!" Kou Zhun shook his head bitterly.

Dongmei frowned when she heard this, and she kept silent.

Kou Zhun was confused for a moment, turned his head and saw that Dongming was in a daze. He couldn't help but feel moved and asked anxiously: "Mr. Dongming has any clues?"

Dongming shook his head gently and looked at Kou Zhun slowly: "Gonggong Kou, Ding Wei, who controls the power, falsely passes imperial edicts, demotes you to the governor of Xiangzhou. What should I do?"

Kou Zhun sneered: "Hmph! I won't leave! Could it be that I'll sit back and watch them make trouble in Bianliang City? I'll fight with them if I'm trying this old bone!"

Dongming shook his head: "Grandpa Kou, take a step back, the sea will be vast and the sky will be wide!"

"Retreat?" Kou Zhun looked ugly and glanced at him with a sideways. If he hadn't known that Beidousi had always been loyal to the royal family, he would have turned against him and sent him off.

Dongming looked at Kou Zhun's face, but he didn't care. He said with a serious expression: "King Kou, you have become a thorn in their eyes that they must pull out at this time, and you will stay in the capital and cause trouble. Why bother? Why not stay this useful body first, leave Bianliang first, and then look for opportunities to move."

"Isn't I a person who is afraid of trouble?" Kou Zhun glared.

Dongming shook his head: "King Kou is naturally not a person who is afraid of trouble, but what's the point of forced staying in the capital? If Kou is not in the capital, they will become more unscrupulous, and I..."

Speaking of this, Dongming's index finger lightly clicked on the desktop: "I need them to be unscrupulous now."

Kou Zhun's eyes lit up, he stared at Dongming, and then pondered for a moment, looking at Dongming sideways.
