Chapter 142 The decision of the imperial court, ordering the woman and the shadow lord
The emperor handed Cao Bin's recital to the ministers for circulation, and asked Pang Ji:
"Taishi, hasn't the follow-up information of Jiyi Division been sent yet?"
Master Pang shook his head and said, "Official, since the imperial court wants to send troops to rescue Juncai, why not take advantage of the situation and act according to this plan?" ”
Cai Jing hurriedly went out of class and said:
"Officials, be cautious, after all, this is the words of Zhongjingbo."
"We still need other news to prove it, so it's better to wait for the opportunity to report it."
The reason for his opposition is simple: whether the matter succeeds or fails, it will not benefit him.
If he defeated Western Xia according to Cao Bin's strategy, then his credit would be too great, and he would definitely rise to prominence in the court.
At that time, the balance in the court will be broken, and at least he will be suppressed by Master Pang.
The second is that he doesn't quite believe Cao Bin's statement, how could Yuan Hao, as a generation of heroes, be calculated to death by Cao Bin so simply?
It's also too bizarre.
He was very suspicious that Cao Bin wanted to take credit through the war.
Kou Zhun also finished reading Cao Bin's recital at this time, and muttered:
"Yuan Hao's life and death are only Zhong Jingbo's calculations, and he is not completely sure."
"The minister also suggested waiting for the report of the Ji Yi Division."
Pang Ji glared, so angry that his beard blew up, and said angrily:
"Your Majesty has decided to send troops to rescue Cao Bin, why is it delayed again and again at this time."
A minister behind Cai Jing said:
"Taishi, I thought that Uncle Zhongjing was in danger, so it was also appropriate to send some soldiers to the rescue."
"Now that it involves a national war, it involves a lot of money, and it can't be solved by one battalion or one army, so we have to be careful."
As he spoke, he added:
"In the current situation, if Yuan Hao is not dead, it is likely to be a trick of Western Xia to lure the enemy."
"If Yuan Hao is about to die, Xixia will definitely stop the war, isn't this exactly what we want?"
"National affairs, be cautious, I think it's better to be still still......."
His meaning was simple, the news from Cao Bin was not reliable.
As long as the Song and Xia sides can stop the war, it will already be a satisfactory result, so why do you have to live and die with Western Xia?
As soon as he said this, there was another quarrel in the court, foaming at the mouth.
The emperor frowned, glanced at the ministers in disgust, and scolded:
"Shut up, stop arguing."
As he spoke, he turned to the female general of the Yang family and asked:
"She Taijun, you have been in war for a long time, what do you think about this matter?"
She Lao Taijun was also very embarrassed, except for the need for the Yang family to go on the expedition, she generally did not speak in the court, just to reduce the trouble of Tianbo Mansion.
I didn't expect the emperor to ask himself now.
She looked at Kou Zhun, and carefully recalled Cao Bin's style, and after being embarrassed for a long time, Fang said:
"The major affairs of the country of soldiers must not be overlooked......"
She first memorized a passage of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and when the emperor was a little impatient, she said:
"It stands to reason that this is a great time to subdue Western Xia."
"But...... The old man thought that it was better to be cautious. ”
Wiping the fine sweat on her forehead, Mrs. She finally said a tactful answer.
At this time, she felt very tired, and the position of the Yang family itself was a little sensitive.
The emperor's questioning was equivalent to betting on the future of their Yang family on Cao Bin's character, although her impression of Cao Bin had changed greatly, she still didn't dare to fully believe Cao Bin.
If she supports Cao Bin's strategy, and then the defeat is judged, the Yang family will inevitably be implicated, and she does not dare to take risks.
When the emperor heard this, he said directly to Pang Taishi:
"Judging from Juncai's recital, he is not in danger now, so I can rest assured."
"In that case, be cautious and wait for the spy to report back."
The meeting did not end until noon, and a second secret letter from Kiiji's secret agent arrived in the evening.
It's just that the Jiyi Si secret agent is just a junior general in the army.
That time I participated in the banquet of the Western Summer Palace, which was already an exceptional treatment.
He only knew that the crown prince Ning Lingge rebelled out of the Hengshan camp, and Yuan Hao sent troops to exterminate him, but he didn't know the actual situation of Yuan Hao.
In this way, the Great Song Dynasty court was more determined to stick to the strategy.
However, the emperor also personally brushed the holy decree, asking the border soldiers to act with their cameras, and if there was an opportunity, they would go all out to rescue Cao Bin.
At the same time, he also added a canonization decree and sent it to the Zhongjing Mansion.
gave the Cao family the title of "Seven Rank Ruren" and a third-class viscount Yin Jue.
Now that Cao Bin has not officially married a wife, let alone given birth to a child, the title of wife falls on his family's concubine.
The title will go to his eldest son, who has not yet been born.
Du Shi Niang and the three of them looked at the holy decree in Fu Bo's hand, and their eyes were green.
As a concubine, the title of life wife is more eye-catching than the industry in your hand, and more reliable than hardcore crops.
Zhang Zhenniang forcibly coveted it, smiled reluctantly, and said to Du Shi Niang:
"Congratulations, sister, you are the first to enter the mansion, and the canonization of the imperial court this time must be for you."
While saying this, she secretly resolved that she must be the first to give birth to a son.
If you can't grab the title of the wife, can't you still grab the title?
The sister-in-law of the Cao family will definitely inherit Earl Zhongjing, and this Yin Jue is her target.
She would prefer this third-class viscount title to the title of Nativity.
Although this is only a lowest, non-hereditary title, it is also a lord of the imperial court, and with this, she no longer has to worry about her children.
Hearing this, Du Siniang waved her hand and said, "I want to, but it depends on Cao Xun's meaning." ”
As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and wrinkled her thin eyebrows and said:
"Cao Xun hasn't returned to Beijing yet, and the imperial court has given such a rich reward, could it be that he is in any danger?"
Master Li also reacted from the reward of the imperial court and said worriedly:
"Cao Hao's in-depth penetration into the enemy country this time is more dangerous than any other time."
"Even if the guards around him are highly skilled in martial arts, it will be difficult for them to play a role......"
The more she spoke, the more she felt panicked, and hurriedly asked:
"Fu Bo, is there any news that the Shi Qian guards have sent someone back to Cao Xun?"
Fauber carefully offered the decree to the hall for the time being, and then turned back and said:
"The defense in the Xixia camp is too tight, and the last time the news came back that he was trying to find a way to infiltrate it."
As he spoke, he reassured:
"The three aunts don't have to worry too much, Shi Qian's spies are highly skilled and numerous, they will definitely find a way to ensure the safety of the young master."
Du Shi Niang said with resentment:
"They are so stupid, they spent so much money in the mansion that they couldn't even get into the Xixia military camp, it's really useless!"
Saying this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clapped her hands and said:
"Yes, I will train spies myself, and I will be anxious to wait in the future."
Fu Bo was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, don't come nonsense, we don't have so much silver." ”
Du Shi Niang pouted and said, "I don't need the money in the house, I have my own ........"
At this time, she was rich and confident, and she didn't care at all.
However, they didn't know that Cao Bin didn't feel any danger at all now, and he had gained a few pounds.
Now he is preparing to "cast a spell" and prepare to "kill" Zhang Yuan.
Seeing that he was wearing a Taoist robe, he was chic, and he had a different kind of handsomeness, and his eyes couldn't help but shine......
