When Bai Shizhong heard the news, he was really anxious! He has been suppressing Cao Guangbi's affairs, and when he saw that he couldn't hold it down, he had to quickly ask Xu Churen to enter the palace to face the saint.

When Zhao Guanjia heard that the second-in-command of the Han military had returned, he was surprised and puzzled, and asked: "Do you see that this Cao Er is coming, is it sincere or false?" ”

Bai Shizhong said: "If it is a hypocrisy, if the Holy Lord sends this Cao Er into the prison, then the tiger princess of the Han Department will raise troops to commit it, and when the time comes, I will be held accountable, and I will be responsible!" The matter has come to this point, so I have to go all the way to the end, and said: "This person came with a letter of recommendation from Wang Shizhong, Wang Shizhong has been in Haijiang for a long time, and what he heard must be reasonable!" These two sentences are extremely tactful, not only giving an affirmative answer to the emperor's question, but also pushing the responsibility away!

Xu Churen said: "This person is in a high position in the Han Department, but now he has come to Bianliang alone, that is, he is putting his life in our hands." It turned out to be sincere. ”

Xu Churen is a person who is willing to tell the truth in Zhao Ji's heart, so his words carry a lot of weight. Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Since you are sincere, why did you come to report now?" ”

Bai Shizhong was frightened when he heard this, but fortunately he had been happy for a long time, and he was both quick and wise and knew how to figure out Zhao Ji's thoughts, so he hurriedly knelt down and played: "The crime of the minister deserves death!" This kind of thing should have been played early, but before the identity of this Cao Er was ascertained, he didn't dare to play it rashly! Today, I found out that I was about to play, who knew that Diao Minmu had no king's law, and he actually made such a thing! The sin deserves death! ”

Zhao Ji had a good impression of the two of them, and since Bai Shizhong could tell the reason, he was not surprised, and said: "I see, find out and play again, but it should also be." ”

Bai Shizhong was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Suddenly, the chamberlain came to report that it was the prince's teacher who came to ask for a meeting.

Zhao Ji seemed very confused about some things, and seemed very smart about other things, and when he heard it, he knew that it was the prince Zhao Huan who came to inquire about his tone, and sent him to meet him, so that he could be appeased, and hinted that he asked Zhao Huan to deal with the matter properly.

Over there, the two palaces exchanged news, but here Hu Yin, Qin Hui and others were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. After they entered the mansion, they were placed in the empty lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, and they didn't know what was going on outside and how the palace made decisions. Hu Yin made eye contact with Deng Su several times, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to speak. It was easy to get into dusk, only to see one of Zhao Huan's chamberlains come to say: "General Cao's return, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has found out that Cao, Deng, and Shi are not spies. There is a good placement in order to wait for the court's decree. Bianliang officials and civilians shall not be disturbed without reason. The people outside Kaifeng Mansion were ordered to disperse! Violators will be punished as treason! ”

Deng Su, Shi Kang Daxi; Qin Hui saw that he didn't involve himself, and he didn't know when to be worried and celebrated; And Hu Yin's mood was even more complicated, and he said in his heart: "Did I really wronged Zhihong?" ”

After the chamberlain passed on the words, he went back, and Zhang Siming stepped forward and said, "General Cao, what does the emperor ......mean?"

Cao Guangbi interrupted him and said: "I have abandoned the position of general, and at this time I am just a cloth coat, and I dare not call myself a general." ”

Several fathers and elders next to him were amazed when they heard this, and Hu Yin's heart was shocked: "Is he really a loyal and righteous person who is willing to give up wealth and nobility for my Great Song Dynasty?" If so, then I'm very offended! ”

Zhang Siming said: "Yes, yes." He added: "The emperor's intention is to ask me to wait for proper placement." However, Bai Xiangye had already told the emperor that Mr. Cao was unwilling to stay in the Duting Station, so the emperor granted Mr. Cao permission to live in the Kongbi Book Society that he had agreed before. However, it needs to be accompanied by an official of the imperial court, and when the imperial court is called, it is necessary to be accompanied by the summons. ”

Hearing this, Qin Hui Hu Yin had no doubts, and said in his heart: "It turns out that the Holy Lord has already known about this!" "In their hearts, the emperor still has supreme authority, and since the emperor has also opened his mouth, then this matter cannot be wrong!

Zhang Siming said again: "It's just that the thousands of people outside the door still refuse to disperse, how can this be good?" ”

The officials of Kaifeng Mansion had no idea, but a father and elder stood up and said: "We also blamed Mr. Cao for coming at the beginning, but now that the Holy Lord and the prince have passed down the edict, we should obey it." When we go out and tell the people, the people will disperse. ”

Qin Hui, Hu Yin and others all said: "Very much! So he let some of the elders go out to spread the word.

Hu Yin's face was full of guilt, and he bowed deeply to Deng Su and said: "Brother Zhihong, Ming Zhong is confused, I don't know Zhihong's hard work, and I almost killed Brother Zhihong!" If you make friends without trusting each other, you are really reading the books of saints in vain! ”

Deng Su hurriedly hugged his hand and said, "Ming Zhong's words are serious!" The so-called three people become tigers, and Meng's mother is suspicious. I am in a place of suspicion, not to mention friends, even father and son. Ming Zhong doubted that I was for the country, how could I do it! This is not a place to talk, when I turn back and find a quiet place, I will tell you carefully about the things after I go to sea. ”

Hu Yin said happily: "Okay! Good! ”

Over there, Qin Hui also came to greet Cao Guangbi and praised him for his loyalty to the country. Cao Guangbi hurriedly thanked him: "I don't dare to take the word loyalty, it's just for the descendants of China." ”

Hu Yin cheered next to him: "A good sentence should be done by the descendants of China!" My Great Song Dynasty has such a hero, why worry about the Jurchen side troubles! ”

While he was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and several officials were surprised, Zhang Siming was shocked: "Do these Diao people dare to make trouble without obeying the orders of the Holy Lord and the Prince?" ”

Soon, several fathers and elders walked in with joyful faces and said, "Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao." ”

Qin Hui asked what happened, and the elder said: "The people outside the door heard that Mr. Cao abandoned the overseas wealth and returned to the Great Song Dynasty to help the imperial court fight against gold, and they all cheered, and now they want to invite Mr. Cao out to meet, one is to express the previous apology, and the other is to see the heroes who do not love wealth and love the country." ”

Qin Hui said happily: "If that's the case, then it's okay." He urged Cao Guangbi to go out.

Cao Guangbi was quite unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart: "At the moment of the great enemy, I have not made an inch, what kind of hero am I!" But the public could not disobey the will, so I had to go out. Seeing that the crisis had passed, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion opened the middle door, and everyone walked out, with Cao Guangbi in the center. He was originally a northern general who had led thousands of armies and horses, he was not tall and strong, and he had a terrifying temperament that had been trained in his body.

The more developed the culture of the market, the more boring the citizens become, and if there is no strong rational class as the backbone, everything is easy to go to extremes - in such a group, it is just as easy for a person to be indiscriminately thrown into the eighteenth layer of hell as shit as to be a hero in the Nine Heavens for no reason! At the time of this national crisis, such a legendary hero suddenly appeared, and the citizens who were not excited, shouted one after another, like holding stars, and the degree of excitement was completely proportional to the degree of anger they had just had.

Cao Guangbi arched his hand in all directions, and waited for the crowd to calm down, then he said loudly: "Fathers, brothers, what happened just now was just a misunderstanding!" It's okay now! He was not very accustomed to speaking to a group of people, but after the experience of the Yuan Ministry, he had become much more proficient, and when he said two sentences, he inadvertently pushed the enthusiasm of the citizens in front of Kaifeng Mansion to another peak!

Cao Guangbi thought that this was a good opportunity to show his heart, so he said loudly: "Now that the Jurchens have invaded my Great Song Dynasty, I am from the north, and I can't complain that everyone doubts me. Fortunately, the emperor, the crown prince, and Dazai have found out the truth, and today I will take this opportunity to tell you about my origins, so that everyone can understand my situation. ”

In fact, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Bai Shi and others were still suspicious of Cao Guangbi and did not put their hearts into it. But as soon as the decree comes out of the palace gate, there will always be distortions of one kind or another. By the time they arrived at those fathers, they already felt that the emperor trusted this Cao Er General very much, and then they conveyed it to the thousands of noisy citizens, and the distortion was even more serious. At this time, Cao Guangbi's words with the endorsement of the Great Song Emperor's dictation were extremely convincing -- this was something that everyone never expected.

At this time, it was dusk, and there was a lot of snow, but thousands of people stood in the snow and no one left, all of them had to listen to what Cao Guangbi had to say.
