The Queen Mother's birthday.

On the upper floor of Jiying Palace, the music of the teaching workshop imitates the song of a hundred birds, such as Luan Feng and Ming.

Zaizhi, the prince, the clan, the observation envoy and the envoys of various countries are in the palace to live up, and Cao Bin only fishes out a position under the corridor by the door.

First, the clan and hundreds of officials congratulated them on their birthdays, and then with a loud voice:

"Envoys from all over the world congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday!"

The envoy of Puduanguo asked people to bring in a pair of fiery parrots, and they came up and said some auspicious words.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly, as if she was very interested.

Next, the envoys of various countries gave gifts and paid birthday greetings in accordance with the procedures, in an orderly manner.

At this moment, Ye Luyi, the envoy of the Liao State, actually asked people to come in with a handful of loess and said with a smile:

"Queen Mother, this is a gift prepared by my Da Liao, I wish you every year today, every year there is today, and you will have a better life than Nanshan."

Seeing this, Deputy Envoy Liu Liufu frowned and shook his head slightly, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, the ministers of the Manchu Palace and the imperial family all quieted down and stared coldly at the envoys of the Liao State.

The envoys and deputy envoys of other countries suddenly became excited, whispering in twos and threes.

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was so solemn that even the musicians did not dare to continue playing.

The emperor said coldly: "What does the Liao envoy mean by this? ”

If it hadn't been for Taishi Pang telling him about Emperor Liao's conspiracy yesterday, he would have already beaten out the Liao envoy with a stick at this time.

He didn't expect that the Liao envoy would dare to make trouble on such a formal occasion.

Where is this congratulating the Queen Mother, it is clearly a curse on her, if she lets it go gently, wouldn't it mean that the Great Song Dynasty is afraid of the Liao State.

That's a shame to throw home.

Without waiting for the Liao envoy to speak, Li Tang hurriedly stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the Liao envoy is rude, and the staff can be taken out according to the courtesy!"

"The Liao envoy doesn't know the etiquette of my Great Song Dynasty, and there is another reason why my Foreign Affairs Institute has not made it clear."

After speaking, he was full of excitement at this time, and shouted:

"Cao Bin, the same governor! This official ordered you to personally explain the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao envoy, do you plead guilty? ”

The sound of Xuan He frightened Yeluyi and took a step back.

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Li Tang with disgust, if he wasn't afraid that Emperor Liao would take the opportunity to send troops, he would have ordered the Liao envoy to be beaten out, do you need to say it?

But when he heard the second reason, he couldn't help but follow Li Tang's gaze and looked at Cao Bin:

"Cao Bin?"

At this moment, the emperor didn't care whether it was Cao Bin's fault or not, and just wanted to confuse this matter, so he hoped that Cao Bin would confess his guilt.

Cao Bin didn't expect Ye Luyi to have this one first, and when he was asked by Li Tang, his brain was also stunned, but in a flash of light, he suddenly thought of a certain drama clip:

"Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family, the soil is the land."

"Liao, this is to send land to my Great Song Dynasty!"

Prime Minister Kou Zhun also clapped his hands and laughed and said:

"Official, Uncle Zhongjing is right, in the past, Duke Wen of Jin asked for food and land, which was the harbinger of conquering the country."

"Today, Emperor Liao sent soil to my Great Song Dynasty, which can be described as a precious affection, and Your Majesty can reward the Liao envoy to express his gratitude."

Hearing this, the emperor was immediately overjoyed, and patted the imperial case again and again:

"Okay, good, Liao is gracious, but I'm disrespectful."

"Come, accept the gift, pour wine for the Liao envoy, I want to toast him personally."

Ye Luyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, this is not what the lord of the country meant, this is my loss of ......"

But where would the Great Song courtiers let him explain, and hurriedly pulled him over, toasted one after another, and poured him desperately.

At this time, the emperor's eyes were full of love when he looked at Cao Bin, and directly summoned him to the front and asked him to serve him wine.

Next, the head of the teaching workshop shouted "Suiyu wine" and "Suijiu".

The emperor, the queen mother and the ministers drank together, the music and dances continued, and the acrobatic sumo wrestling was complete.

After drinking nine rounds, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and the queen mother and the emperor drove back to Luan.

Cao Bin touched his stomach depressedly, very speechless, if he had known this, it would have been better to eat some oil cakes and fruits at the beginning.

Now that everyone is full, he is the only one who is hungry.

He was about to follow Taishi Pang out of the palace, and when he saw Li Tang still sitting in place with a pale face, he couldn't help laughing.

Li Tang was able to recover, mostly because of the emperor's favor for Li Meiren, and now that he has provoked the emperor's disgust, I am afraid it will not be long before he is proud.

The next day, the government will meet.

Cao Bin thought that as usual, it was better to discuss trivial matters first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went to court, Cai Jing came out of the class and said:

"Your Majesty, Zhongjing Bowen is talented and strategic, outstanding and outstanding, and yesterday he was even more agile and defeated the Liao envoy."

"The old minister thinks that His Majesty should be loyal to Bert to give grace to encourage the nobles to advance."

"Huh?"

Cai Jing's praise made Cao Bin confused.

The old guy, though not showing enough hostility, would definitely not speak for himself for no reason.

Just as he was thinking, Master Pang raised his eyelids slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, it is Cao Bin's responsibility to deal with the Liao envoy, if it is easy to give grace, it will make the court's rewards and punishments unclear."

Seeing this, Cao Bin also understood that Cai Jing suddenly spoke for himself, which must have bad intentions.

The emperor looked at Master Pang and asked in a deep voice:

"What else does Mrs. Cai say?"

Cai Jing shook his head and said: "The old minister has elegant words to advise, and everything depends on His Majesty's self-determination. ”

These words not only confused Cao Bin, but the emperor was also a little confused, he thought that Cai Jing had another purpose, and at least he would argue.

I didn't expect him to throw out a question and leave it alone.

Kou Zhun groaned for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, meritorious service will be rewarded, and if you have failed, you will be punished."

"It is also the duty of a soldier to fight bravely to kill the enemy!"

"How can you not be rewarded for what you are doing?"

The emperor nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable, if this is the case, then Uncle Zhongjing will be promoted by one level and promoted to ......."

Kou Zhun said: "Uncle Zhongjing was originally Zuo Si Xunzhong, and he was promoted to the sixth grade Shangguanglu Shaoqing. ”

Cao Bin hurriedly came out of the class and said: "Weichen has a little merit, and he doesn't dare to accept the gift of the official family. ”

At this time, he had to be cautious, Cai Jing was not a simple person.

Although he only said a simple sentence, who knows if there is a trap in it.

Cao Bin thinks it's better to be conservative......
