At the same time, Cao Bin sat on his spacious big chair, holding a purple sand teapot in his hand, and the room was lit with backflow incense, and he had been quietly closing his eyes for a long time, not thinking about anything, which was a bit similar to entering a state of meditation.

When it comes to big things, you need to be calm.

Unconsciously, Cao Bin thought of Zhao Kuangyin.

If the official family is still there, how can the world become like this? Whether it's Sun Chunming or Sun Yue, they don't dare to jump if they borrow a few guts from their father and son.

He wanted to go to Lao Ji and live up to the emperor's grace, but he really couldn't bear it, he thought that after Zhao Dezhao ascended the throne, Zhao Tingmei would make some moves and become the number one enemy of the empire.

But who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Yan, who obviously had the advantage, would be so thorough and so fast, a man who has tasted the taste of power, or a man who has just turned thirty, is really willing to give up everything and be his free prince in a down-to-earth manner?

Cao Bin didn't believe it, but now he has to believe it, at least temporarily.

In this way, he himself was pushed to the cusp, he knows very well who Zhao Dezhao is, this is a product that does not have Zhao Guangyi's wrist, but he is even more bellyless than him, once this product really grasps the power of life and death of the emperor, his whole family will definitely not end well.

Five generations of people, no one would be stupid enough to give up the whole family to protect the community, such a person has already died, how can Cao Bin be an exception.

Silently kowtowing a few times in the direction of Yongchang Mausoleum, Cao Bin lowered his head, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or a great being, and muttered: "The mind and strategy of the new official family are no longer enough to protect the society, and I can only protect myself first." ”

At dinnertime, he received a reply from Sun Chunming, which was naturally received through Cao, who said that Sun Chunming also asked him to bring a message, which was just his general opinion, if there was anything wrong, he could simply find a chance to meet.

Cao Bin lightly said that he knew, and still slowly served himself a bowl of soup, and finished the dinner with his inherent speed, then washed his hands and meticulously opened the letter.

The whole family naturally gathered around to watch, and Cao Bin didn't avoid it.

"Sun Chunming agreed in principle with my proposal to ban the three yas and four guards, and the new army in Beijing is headed by the commander of the eight capitals and the eight capital supervisors, but the arrangements for Cui Yanjin and the party advance still need to be considered in the long run."

This is naturally Cao Bin's political proposition, the three yas and four guards are essentially designed by Zhao Kuangyin in order to avoid the appearance of yellow robes again, and the things that balance the army, of course, because there are many orders, it is inevitable that the combat effectiveness will be somewhat weakened.

Of course, this kind of system will cause dissatisfaction among some middle-level military attachés, but his prestige during the Zhao Kuangyin period was too high, and he was stunned that the army was almost enslaved, and naturally no one dared to say a word, and now that Zhao Dezhao is in charge, Zhao Guangyi's death cannot be concealed from the insiders, so the middle-level generals are now a little rampant, and the call for overthrowing and starting over is not low, and the reasons are also very open, because the reform of the new army has been completely completed, and there is no need to use this way of weakening combat effectiveness to check and balance.

Therefore, Cao Bin's move can actually be regarded as conforming to the will of the army, which will help to further improve his prestige. Moreover, it is unlikely that there will be a situation where one is the dominant one because of the eight commanders who are not subordinate to each other, but because the eight commanders have to report to him, his military power will be consolidated at once. The more troublesome ones are just the two old handsomes of today, Cui Yanjin and Dang Jin.

Everyone in the Cao family was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Really? Sun Chunming really promised not to hinder you? ”

"It's true, but there are also conditions, he demanded that Luoyang and Hebei, all the factories serving the new army, the Privy Council should completely give up the right to operate, and only guarantee that each family will leave an account room, and he has come up with something called contract management."

"To whom?"

"Who else can there be, Han Derang of the 'company'. This is to give me military power, but it is still stuck in my throat, specifically, in fact, there is no need to meet, as long as you quarrel in the main hall for a few days, creating the illusion of taking a step back, you can make the official family suffer this dumb loss. ”

Everyone in the Cao family sighed at the insidiousness of this Sun Chunming, this is a quarrel while joining forces to set up the court, but in this way, Cao Bin will be pinched by Sun Chunming in fact, and it is not impossible for him to become a cluster in the future, for a while, they can't think about whether it is good or bad to do this.

"Sun Chunming also specifically mentioned that I am old, and there is no successor."

Cao Wei said: "What does Sun Chunming mean by this? Dad, you're just fifty, where can you be an old word? Just how young he is? As far as his son is concerned? Is this to show you? ”

Cao Bin shook his head and said: "Of course he won't be so boring, I can't figure out what he said for the time being, isn't he going to meet?" See, see, see. ”

Naturally, everyone has no opinions, these two letters were originally to set the tone, how dare they sing such a big double reed without even seeing each other? This is different from the previous scenes, to put it more seriously, this is already the two prime ministers secretly colluding to jointly divide state power, and the foundation of trust is quite weak.

It's just, how to see it?

The two of them got mixed up in this part, that is even the back door is watched by people at twelve o'clock a day, not to monitor, but to give gifts, you can never underestimate how scary the speculative middle-level officials below will be crazy to go crazy, for example, as far as he knows, the housekeepers of their families are already the godfathers of the prefects of the two small places, Sun Chunming will only be even worse, I heard that there are many people who specialize in selling his whereabouts for profit.

In this case, the two met in private, it was impossible not to let people find out, if they were suspected, this double reed would not be easy to sing, no matter how Zhao Dezhao had no prestige, after all, he was also an emperor, and the success may be insufficient, but the failure is more than enough.

After thinking for a long time, Cao Bin suddenly spoke: "Second child." ”

"Huh?"

"Between you and the Lord of Xingping, where has it progressed?"

The second Cao Jueteng's face turned red, he couldn't understand, why did he turn the topic to him when he was talking about such an important matter? But his father's inquiry could not fail to answer, so he had to say like a mosquito: "No...... Not a step, still like that, she ...... She has a crush on me, and I like her, but she's still young after all, so she ......."

"Have you kissed her?"

Cao Jue nodded shyly.

"Then you didn't her."

Cao Jue jumped up in fright, and hurriedly said, "How is it possible?" How dare I? He is the lord of the county! ”

Cao Bin said: "Give you three days, no matter what, take her down, cook raw rice and cook rice, causing a fait accompli, I will go directly to Zhao Tingmei to propose marriage, when the time comes, he will have to agree if he doesn't agree, and he will inevitably have a long night and a lot of dreams, he will definitely hold an engagement banquet as soon as possible, with the relationship between the Sun family and the King of Wei, it is impossible for Sun Chunming not to go, on the day of the big day, I will talk to Sun Chunming about something that will not lead people to think, can it be done?" ”

Cao Jue was a little confused, he and the county lord of Xingping had a good impression of each other, and he was indeed willing to marry her as his wife, but now that he heard his father say this, why did he feel so uncomfortable?

But dad is dad after all, and he also knows that this matter is related to the life and death of the Cao family, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.
