In the study.

When Cao Bin arrived, Master Pang was reading a letter with a smile on his face, and Pang Yu was drinking tea with his legs crossed.

"Taishi, I don't know what to look for me?"

Master Pang put down the letterhead in his hand, nodded with a smile and said:

"Don't worry, Juncai, come and see."

As he spoke, he handed the letterhead in his hand to Cao Bin.

Cao Bin was not polite, he found a place to sit down, picked up the letterhead and read it.

This letter was written by Zhao Ji, in addition to apologizing for his recklessness, he also attached a lot of industry information.

After Cao Bin read it, he suddenly felt a little bad in his heart, and wondered:

"What do you mean, Taishi?"

Master Pang said with a smile: "In order to keep Gao Yu, King Duan took out a lot of his family funds, which will be counted as your compensation." ”

"In addition, it also gives you a chance to become a leader, this opportunity is very rare, you have to seize it."

Cao Bin suddenly understood in his heart that they had reached a compromise, and said with some disappointment:

"Is it just to let Gao Yu go? I have no shortage of profitable trades. ”

Master Pang waved his hand and said:

"You are stupid, even if you get Gao Yu down, it will only cheapen those people."

As he spoke, he said bitterly:

"Besides, there is no son in the saint today, and King Duan will have a great chance to ascend to the throne in the future, so we should not offend him to death."

Hearing this reason, Cao Bin was dumbfounded.

He dared to offend King Duan, because he was sure that the history was chaotic, and King Duan had almost no chance of ascending to the throne.

Now you're telling me that he has a good chance?

Am I going to finish the game? You are not deeply offended, but I am deeply offended.

Do you not understand the details, or do you not take me seriously? So he probed:

"Taishi, the grudge between me and King Duan is extremely difficult to resolve...... It's not easy to appease. ”

Master Pang shook his head and said:

"The old man knows your concerns, so he shouldn't get rid of Gao Yu."

"In fact, people like Gao Yu will not benefit King Duan's ascension to the throne, but will ruin his reputation."

As he spoke, he laughed and said:

"Now that the official family is still in the prime of life, the old man is doing this just in case."

"But it's a good opportunity for you."

"As long as you have great power in your hands, even if King Duan really ascends to the throne, you won't care about the current grievances."

Cao Bin was full of bitterness at this time, and said simply, that was the emperor.

Although the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty was subject to many restrictions, it was also surprisingly large.

Looking at me like this, is there a chance to become the one who restricts him?

Besides, in the whole history, which powerful minister has had a good end?

When the time comes, you will go home to retire, and I will be unlucky.

But he couldn't say this explicitly, so he could only ask: "What is the opportunity that the Taishi said?" ”

Master Pang said with a smile:

"Since May, there have been signs of a major drought in Shandong."

"Now a few months have passed, and the entire ground in Shandong has not fallen at all, and the grain harvest has not been harvested."

"The imperial court has already given up a relief effort, which could have alleviated the disaster."

"But a few days ago, a riot of people robbed the granary, and it also caused a fire."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Bin and continued to introduce:

"The rebellious people have been exterminated, but the food can't be saved, so the court has to give relief again."

"However, this time, the imperial court plans to send an envoy to supervise the release of relief in various states."

"Then Yanzhou guards my door too much, and he also serves as the pacification envoy of Jingdong Road, which is an easy errand for you."

Cao Bin said with a bitter face:

"The Taishi also thinks too highly of me, where do I have the ability to preside over the relief?"

"Why don't you push off this errand and punish Gao Yu?"

Master Pang pointed at Cao Bin helplessly, shook his head and said:

"It's late, it's decided, you get ready."

Pang Yu smiled and said:

"Juncai, this is not just your business, Zheng Guogong has now served as the deputy privy envoy, can he not let him resign?"

Made, I knew it.

When Cao Bin heard this, he couldn't help but secretly slander.

They must be using this incident to exchange benefits for the Ponzi party, and they are just adding to it.

It's just that he didn't expect that the biggest beneficiary was Pan Renmei.

It's a pity that I had the opportunity to kill Gao Yu, and I thought that something was right when I saw their menacing appearance before.

Or he still doesn't have the right to speak, otherwise he would definitely not use this matter as a bargaining chip in a political exchange.

At this time, Master Pang took out a letter and said:

"After you arrive in Shandong, give the letter to Yanzhou Taishou, and he will cooperate with you."

In desperation, Cao Bin had no choice but to take the letter and said:

"Let the master bother, then I will leave......"

Out of the Taishi Mansion, Cao Bin was a little depressed.

However, after this incident, presumably Gao Yu didn't dare to provoke himself, which can be regarded as a small gain.

I just don't know where the emperor is, how they explain it.

When they got home and told them about it, Fu Bo and Du Li were very happy.

Fu Bo also prayed excitedly: "The young master is about to enter the officialdom, and the revival of the family business is hopeful." ”

Cao Bin also understood his thoughts.

The official system of the Great Song Dynasty was very chaotic.

It can probably be divided into sending officials, loose posts, titles, honors, and additional officials, but they only determine the grade and have no real power.

Even the six departments of the three provinces are also decorations, and most of them are used for sending Lu.

Only when the actual assignment is determined can it be regarded as officially entering the officialdom.

Although Cao Bin, the "grain inspector and envoy", was only sent temporarily, he did a good job, and he also contributed a lot, even if he had qualifications.

Seeing that Cao Bin was sullen, Du Siniang persuaded:

"Why should Cao Xun mind for a little grudge? Or is your own future more important! ”

Master Li also said:

"Yes, Cao Xun, with the behavior of Gao Yu's father and son, he will be questioned by the court sooner or later, so there is no need to rush ...... at a moment"

Seeing that they were worried about themselves, Cao Bin didn't want to be uselessly troubled, so he waved his hand and said:

"You don't have to convince me, I didn't take this matter to heart in the first place."

"I'm worried about supervising grain, after all, it's the first time, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well."

Fu Bo hurriedly said:

"The old slave should follow the young master, maybe he can help......"

Cao Bin's family discussed the matter of supervising grain, but there was already a lot of noise in the political hall.

When Kou Zhun and the others heard that Cao Bin had been appointed as the grain governor, they were anxious.

People like Cao Bin are greedy for money, it's hard to say, lust is certain, and he is a well-known evil young man.

Putting him in the disaster area is like putting rats in the oil tank and the rice barn.

Not to mention that gold and silver attract greed, even the chaotic order in the disaster area can also give Cao Bin a lot of opportunities.

The envoy was sent because the imperial court suspected that the local officials had something wrong.

If Cao Bin is sent, the cat will not be able to catch it and not say it, but will send a scourge.

It's just that Cai Jing and Pang Taishi's two factions of traitors have reached an agreement, and Kou Zhun and the others have no time to stop it.

Out of the political hall, Kou Zhun sighed and said:

"Since it can't be changed, let's add someone to it, who is the candidate for Lord Bao?"

Bao Zheng groaned:

"There is a new member named Yan Chasan under my door, who is upright and talented......"
