Chapter 334: Proclamation
After Kou Zhun was dismissed as Prime Minister, he traveled all the way from Kyoto to Xiangzhou, and his mood was much more peaceful.

Being an idle Xiangzhou Sima in Xiangzhou is quite comfortable.

Du Qingshan sent someone to report to Kou Zhun about the affairs of the court, and Kou Zhun didn't care about it when he knew about it, he continued to fish in the mountains and entertain his friends.

Ding Wei was worried that Kou Zhun would make a comeback, and he was still not at ease after revising the imperial edict, and wanted to put Kou Zhun to death.

However, the Song Dynasty did not have the habit of killing ministers. Even though Ding Wei smeared Kou Zhun in front of the sick emperor and counted Kou Zhun's crimes, these crimes still did not kill Kou Zhun.

Ding Wei thought about it and came up with a trick.

The envoy who conveyed the edict was sent by Lei Yungong. Before the envoy left Beijing, Ding Wei specially invited the envoy here and gave him a sword in a kit.

The envoy understood Ding Wei's meaning, and intended to curry favor with Ding Wei, so he took his sword and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Participating in politics, I understand."

Ding Wei smiled and nodded.

On the day the edict was passed to Xiangzhou, Kou Zhun was having a banquet with the guests.

Most of the guests were Xiangzhou state officials. When they heard that the Chinese envoy had summoned them, they all stood up to greet them.

However, when Kou Zhun went to see the Chinese envoy, the Chinese envoy avoided him.

The envoy understood Ding Wei's signal, put the sword in the kit, pretended that it was a "shangfang sword", and made it look like he was about to "kill something".

Just wait for Kou Zhun to be frightened, and go back to the house and commit suicide!
In this way, Ding Wei will eliminate future troubles without bloodshed.

Not to mention not thoughtful.

If Kou Zhun is still the same Kou Zhun with a strong temperament and unbearable humiliation, Ding Wei's wishful plan may have achieved his goal. Suicide is more dignified than being humiliated by that sword.

The Xiangzhou officials all said: "Mr. Kou, the envoy came with Shangfang's sword. I am afraid that the court has the intention to kill Mr. Kou. You should run away quickly."

But Kou Zhun, who has encountered countless ups and downs at this time, is not intimidated by such foxes and tigers at all.

Besides, he had already received news from Du Qingshan, and he knew everything about the affairs of the court.

So Kou Zhun laughed calmly and said: "You don't have to worry, if the court has the intention of granting death to the old man, is it the king's land on the shore of the land? Well, take out the imperial edict, and the old man can decide whether to leave or stay before it is too late."

Hearing Kou Zhun's attitude, the Chinese envoy was so angry that he had to come to see Kou Zhun with the imperial edict.

There is no death penalty in the imperial edict, but it is just demoting officials and continuing to go south to Leizhou.

Kou Zhun took a look at the imperial edict, casually handed it to the servant beside him, immediately took off the official uniform of Xiangzhou Sima, and changed into a knee-short official uniform, and then went back to the house to feast, chat and laugh as usual, It didn't end until dusk.

Qian Tao already knew about the edict, and she has served Kou Zhun attentively during this period of time.

However, she was exhausted from traveling all the way and contracted the wind and cold. She took a lot of medicine but it didn't help. In addition, she was not acclimatized to the water and soil when she first arrived in Xiangzhou, and her condition worsened day by day.

It's just that she didn't want Kou Zhun to worry, and every time she served Kou Zhun, she would dress up with rouge to strengthen her spirit, so Kou Zhun only said that she was just new to Xiangzhou and not used to it.

On this day, the guests are sent away, and the bright moon hangs high.

Kou Zhun stands in the courtyard looking up at the bright moon, the world is vast, where will Kou Zhun go after a hundred years?

Looking at the hut built by the people of Xiangzhou, he suddenly felt very quiet.

"Cedar?"

Kou Zhun called out.

However, Qian Tao, who usually responds to calls on weekdays, did not respond today.

Kou Zhun's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried into Qian Tao's room to check, only to see Qian Tao lying on the bed with her forehead scalded badly.

　good night~~
