Chapter VI Under the Border Pass
After Cao Guangbi entered the city, it was not too late, so he took Yang Yingqi to the yamen to pay a respect. Yang Yingqi didn't know much about the official system of the Song Dynasty, and only heard Cao Guangbi call the chief above to be "and an adult".
After listening to Cao Guangbi's words, Lord Nahe was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, you Cao Guangbi!" After you are a famous general, you dare to have an affair with the Khitans, what kind of crime should you be guilty of! ”
Yang Yingqi was taken aback when he heard this, and said in his heart: "If you say such things to adults, I'm afraid things will be worse!" ”
And Cao Guangbi was even more surprised than Yang Yingqi, and argued: "My lord! What does this mean? Although Guangbi's position is humble, he is strictly disciplined, how dare he do anything disloyal! ”
A capital eunuch on the left and Cao Guangbi have an old relationship, and they also replied: "The Cao family is favored by the country, and although Cao Dianzhi is a side branch, everyone knows the name of loyalty and bravery. I don't think he will do anything unfaithful or unfilial. ”
He sneered: "If he is not unfaithful, then he is unwise!" Two days ago, the imperial court had just issued a strict order to rectify the defense of all states and armies in Hebei, and it was obvious that the center had obtained information about the bad intentions of the Liao! It happened to be at this time that such a group of suspicious people came, saying that they couldn't bear the abuse of the Liao people, what a joke! According to my judgment, there must be no doubt that he is a spy! ”
Yang Yingqi's heart was half cold when he heard this. Since there is a preconceived hostility in the adult's heart, it is difficult to change his mind. What's more, listening to what he said, the imperial court has just issued an order to guard against the border, and at this juncture, the Chinese bureaucrats have always preferred to kill mistakes rather than let them go! The opportunity to enter the Song Dynasty is only afraid that it is very slim.
Hearing what the chief said, he hurriedly glanced at Cao Guangbi and asked him to go downstairs along the stairs. Who knew that Cao Guangbi was also a bad man, in fact, he couldn't say that he had no doubts about the five hundred people at all, but when he said this to Zhizhou, he defended them instead: "My lord! The subordinates look at the faces and words of this group of people, and they don't look like spies. As he spoke, he argued in detail what he saw, heard, and felt.
Yang Yingqi saw Cao Guangbi speaking for himself, and his heart was moved. But the eunuch secretly complained bitterly, thinking that you were working against the chief, didn't you refute the commander's mouth? Sure enough, the more he listened, the more impatient he became, and finally raised his eyebrows angrily and shouted: "Bold Cao Guangbi!" How much good those spies have given you! ”
Cao Guangbi said: "There is a Dan heart under him, and there is only the Great Song Dynasty!" How to take bribes! ”
Nahe sneered: "If you don't accept their benefits, why do you try your best to intercede for them?" ”
Cao Guangbi said: "Defending the country and protecting the people is the duty of a soldier!" I can't restore Yanyun, so Han?
