Chapter 124 The righteousness is awe-inspiring Cao Juncai, and the envoy is ready to prepare
As a lord, Cao Bin can be unshy, can not learn and have no skills, and can even be greedy for life and afraid of death, but he must not be disloyal.
This is not only the foundation of his life, but also the foundation of all the noble children.
"Official, if I go to Western Xia, I don't believe that he Yuan Hao has two heads!"
"As long as he can contribute to the official family, even if Weichen is full of liver and brains, he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire."
"It's just that Weichen doesn't understand etiquette, and his official position is low, so I want to ask Master Li Tang Li to be a righteous envoy."
Since he decided to go, Cao Bin naturally wanted to behave righteously, quite a kind of meaning that if you don't let me go, I will fight with you.
The emperor nodded again and again with emotion:
"Okay, okay, Juncai, you can go with confidence, I will prepare everything for you."
After speaking, he also sighed:
"The wind knows the grass, the board sees the loyal ministers, at a critical time, it is still a general like you who can share the country's worries."
"I will give an order, order the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the Foreign Affairs Court will sentence Li Tang to be the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty."
"Zhongjing Bo, Guanglu Shaoqing Cao Bin is the deputy envoy to Western Xia, and I will appoint a battalion of Yulong Zhi to protect your safety."
Li Tang was already stunned at this time, why did he still wrap himself in?
He hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is old and difficult to walk, and his physical strength is not good, so he can't travel far!" ”
Hearing him say this, Cao Bin stopped doing it:
"Master Li, you are the heart of the country, how can you pretend to be sick at a critical time."
"Of course, if you pretend to be sick, Your Majesty will definitely not forcibly let a patient go out."
"But you touch your conscience and ask, are you worthy of Your Majesty's kindness to you, and worthy of our Great Song Dynasty?"
"You entered Beijing from Liangzhejiang, you can move quickly, and Xixia is not too far, right?"
At this time, Li Tang had already begun to sweat, he was indeed haunted by his son's tragic death, and he wanted revenge.
But I didn't want to take my own life.
He himself was only in his fifties, and he was ambitious to have more sons.
If you even die, you're still a fart.
He didn't expect that Cao Bin would return his words as they were, what should he do?
Hearing Li Tang's words, the emperor frowned deeply and said coldly:
"Li Tang, don't you really want to go? That's not what you just said. ”
He already had a bad feeling for Li Tang, and at this time, seeing that he had a different heart and a hypocritical look, he felt even more disgusted in his heart.
Hearing the emperor's unkind tone, Li Tang had to pinch his nose and say:
"Minister...... The minister was willing to accompany Zhongjing Bo to the Western Xia. ”
Seeing this, the emperor nodded and said:
"That's very good, didn't you compile the New Etiquette?"
"You must use what you have learned in your life to help Zhongjingbo complete the task."
"If you return safely, I will reward you."
After speaking, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, step aside." ”
Seeing this, Li Tang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister needs to ......"
The emperor scolded impatiently: "Stand down! ”
Li Tang was full of grievances at this time, you didn't have such an attitude towards Cao Bin just now.
Cao Bin couldn't help laughing when he saw that Li Tang was still unwilling, and gloated:
"Master Li, this time we can cooperate again, it's an honor, it's a great honor."
Li Tang snorted coldly hatefully, at this time, he already hated Cao Bin to death......
Because the birthday envoy sent by Western Xia was about to return to China soon, Cao Bin had to prepare as soon as possible so that he could travel with him.
In the Hou Mansion, Fu Bo, Xia Yuqi Lao Dao, the sedan chair, and Shi Qian are sitting in a group.
Fauber asked worriedly:
"Young master, this trip to Western Xia is not trivial, do you want to bring your own soldiers with you?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"This is an envoy, not a war, and the court will naturally arrange an honor guard for me."
“...... But the Swallow Spy can come in handy. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to Shi Qian and said:
"Time has changed, how is the training place of the swallow now?"
Shi Qian said confidently:
"Uncle, rest assured, now our spies are not only very successful, but also quite hard."
As he spoke, he scratched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"There are a few of them, even I am no match for them."
"In addition, Xia Daochang has also equipped us with all kinds of weapons, and we can already stand alone."
These spies, Shi Qian has spent a lot of thought.
not only handed over his light work at the bottom of the box to them, but also invited many masters from the rivers and lakes.
Under Cao Bin's large money offensive, they bowed their heads one after another and taught their skills.
If in the past, swallows were only used while training, now they are mature swallows.
Swallows build nests, monitor thousands of households, and it's done!
Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Shi Qian did a great job and lived up to my trust."
As he spoke, he took out two thousand taels of silver tickets and said:
"This is a reward for you and Xia Laodao, one for each person, all of them have worked hard."
"In addition, don't worry, I will be of great use to you and will not be idle."
Shi Qian's specialty is not in fighting, and he is talented, of course Cao Bin will not cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Shi Qian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, Aunt Du and Aunt Li have told me a family matter, which is already very expensive. ”
Cao Bin said with a smile: "It's so good, if you have time, bring the bride to Benjue to see, and I'll check it for you." ”
He still agrees with Du Siniang and Master Li's approach.
Those who have constant production have perseverance.
Shi Qian's wife and children are all from the Hou Mansion, and he himself is completely tied to the Hou Mansion.
Seeing this, Xia Laodao was a little anxious, and hurriedly snatched the silver ticket and scolded:
"Your kid has a wife, so you don't care if my old man lives or dies."
"When I take the money, won't you be generous?"
Cao Bin handed the remaining silver ticket to Shi Qian, turned his head and asked:
"Xia Laodao, what's the matter with you? Didn't you talk about wanting to marry a wife before? ”
"Why did the two aunts introduce you to you, but you refused?"
Xia Laodao said disdainfully:
"That was before, my old way didn't have apprentice filial piety, otherwise my old way is the kind of person who gives up the entire forest for the sake of a tree?"
Cao Bin didn't bother to pay attention to him, but just ordered:
"On this mission, I won't take you to Western Xia, but you have to build a thousand Zhuge repeaters."
"You can ask Fubo to get money to buy the materials yourself, and if I come back and find that you are lazy, I will break your legs."
Xia Laodao was very happy when he heard that he didn't need to go to Western Xia, but he couldn't laugh when he heard Cao Bin's words.
Seeing that he looked like a bitter gourd, Cao Bin continued:
"In addition to that, you have to bring out three apprentices......
Xia Laodao has the urge to return the silver to Cao Bin at this time, it's so hot, this is calling the old donkey, right?
At this moment, a small servant reported: "Young master, the master said that he had something to ask you to go to his house." ”
