Funing Temple.

The emperor looked at the notebook in front of him with some headache, and did not want to look at it.

Although he had been out of office for several days, the ministers did not want to let him go, and he had not heard the recital of the crown prince.

At this time, he couldn't wait for Fang La to rebel immediately.

Otherwise, he will not die of illness, but will be annoyed to death by the ministers.

"Official, there is good news for the concubine, do you want to hear it?"

At this time, Pan Guifei walked in.

The emperor let out a sigh and looked at her slightly bulging belly and laughed:

"What's the good news for Aifei?"

Pan Guifei smiled:

"I heard that the Liao State has relented, and promised not to be an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty from now on......"

Although she has become an imperial concubine and is pregnant with a dragon species, she has not completely forgotten the old love.

In order to help her cousin find a good future and peace of mind, she is also quite painstaking.

After receiving Gong Liangchen's letter, he immediately ran to ask the emperor for credit.

She didn't think that doing so was taking credit from Cao Bin.

This credit is nothing to Cao Bin.

In her mind, as long as she gave him a little compensation and took care of Concubine Pang, Cao Bin should not be angry with herself for this little thing.

What's more, in the future, Gong Liangchen's promotion may also be able to help him in the court.

Although this cousin and grandmother don't hurt and uncle doesn't love it, even his father Pan Renmei doesn't want to pay attention to it.

But in her heart, this cousin is very special, and he has a talent that has endured the heavens and the earth.

It's just that now Huai Cai is gone.

The emperor glanced at her and asked directly:

"Your cousin's credit?"

Pan Guifei couldn't help but be shocked when she saw that the emperor directly exposed her purpose, so she had to nod her head and plead:

"Your Majesty, my cousin has always been unlucky, and he has never met Huaicai."

"It's not easy to make some contributions......"

The emperor shook his head helplessly and said:

"I'm afraid of your affection, and I've already given him two chances."

"He's not unlucky, he's ambitious, talented, eager for quick success, and has no self-knowledge."

"He is also a scholar, if he is really talented, why not advance in the imperial examination?"

"If you have a serious background, you can be a prime minister in the future......"

Pan Guifei was stunned for a moment, and said coquettishly:

"Official, why do you have to take the imperial examination to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court? This time the credit is rare, so let's help my cousin. ”

The emperor frowned, and scolded with some annoyance:

"Okay, women, don't interfere in political affairs!"

Pan Guifei was stunned for a moment, and she was so frightened that she sobbed.

This is the first time that the emperor has been angry with her, especially after she is pregnant, the emperor is even more obedient to her.

Seeing this, the emperor also felt that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly comforted:

"Okay, don't cry, concubine, I'm not going to help your cousin."

"It's that Cao Bin has his own plan, as long as your cousin does his duty and obeys orders, he has his own credit."

"Who knows that he is not greedy enough, and he makes his own decisions, and I am already extraordinarily generous if I don't punish him."

As he spoke, he took a piece of music from the brocade box behind him, handed it over, and said:

"Look at it, this is the truth of the negotiation."

Pan Guifei took the concerto, and the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became.

This was Cao Bin's entire plan to send a letter to the emperor, and although it was only a preliminary idea, it was completely different from the negotiations in Gong Liangchen's letter.

She found that the negotiations at the table were only superficial, but the real battle was thousands of miles away.

This plan not only involved the Manichaean rebellion in Jiangnan, but even Cao Bin planned to secretly incite the Liao tribes to rebel and incite the Western Xia, Goryeo, and Uighurs to plunder the border cities of the Liao State.

A simple movement, but it is a chess game with several countries in the world, competing against each other.

"This, this...... How can a simple negotiation involve so much of a stake? ”

Pan Guifei was shocked and a little incredulous.

The Emperor nodded and said:

"Although I also want to negotiate peace with Liao as soon as possible, I can't help but fight, and let Cao Bin try to plan."

"If Cao Bin only achieves such conditions in the end, I can accept it."

"But it shouldn't be your cousin who used it to invite credit, do you understand?"

Concubine Pan nodded a little bitterly, and now, she has to admit that her cousin is not as amazing as he said.

A negotiation is very different from others.

I almost annoyed the emperor because of this...... It's really a bit muddy and can't hold up the wall.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, the imperial court invented the decree.

Cao Bin was appointed as the observer of the Liangzhejiang Road, temporarily leading the military and political affairs, financial endowments, and folk customs of the two Zhejiangs, and was in charge of the military affairs of the Jiangnan Zhulu, and the Jiangnan was shaken.

Wu Song and Lu Zhishen began to help Lu Junyi fight for power in Hangzhou in the name of Cao Bin.

On 15 March, more than a dozen Jiangnan officials, including the governor of Runzhou, sent people to Beijing to offer bribes, which Cao Bin accepted calmly.

On the evening of the 17th, Bao Zheng visited Zhongjing Houfu alone and persuaded Cao Bin to no avail.

At the 20th court meeting, Bao Zheng impeached Cao Bin for accepting bribes and recommended that he be dismissed from Jiangnan.

The emperor was furious, believing that Bao Zheng had no evidence, slandered the courtiers, seized his position as the feudal governor Yin, and degraded the general judgment of Hangzhou.

dismissed Wang Yanling as the first assistant, appointed Shangshu Zuocheng, and ordered Pan Renmei to know the Privy Council and lead Shangshu Youcheng, and take charge of the government hall with Wang Yanling.

Since then, there has been no chief assistant in the court, and the emperor's ears have been much quieter.

At the same time, Pan Renmei was re-crowned as the Taishi, and for a time, he was quite powerful and powerful......

On the 23rd, Cao Bin entered the palace and delivered six heart-saving pills and was given an "imperial sword".

In order to prevent the emperor from hanging up suddenly, he directly used up the points before he brushed out twelve life-saving pills.

As long as the emperor did not run out of oil, these six pills were enough to guarantee his life.

In the early morning of the 24th, shortly after the opening of the gate of Bianjing City, the convoy of Zhongjing Houfu had already set off.

was directing the convoy out of the city, and Bao Zheng also rode a donkey and walked over with a few entourages.

Cao Bin smiled:

"Haha, I didn't expect Master Bao to go to Jiangnan today, why didn't he bring three imperial guillotines?"

At this time, Bao Zheng was depressed and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Unexpectedly, he just impeached Cao Bin casually, which provoked the emperor to be furious, and he was directly demoted to Hangzhou, and the teacher lost his position as the first assistant.

"Cao Bin, you tell the truth, do you have other plans with the official family?"

After being silent for a long time, Bao Zheng finally couldn't help but ask.

The more he pondered it, the more he felt that something was wrong, with the wealth of Zhongjing Houfu, how could Cao Bin easily accept bribes from Jiangnan officials?

I'm afraid that I was cheated by Cao Bin and the emperor joining forces, and the purpose was to send myself out of Beijing, so as not to be an eyesore in front of the emperor.

Cao Bin said noncommittally:

"My people are almost finished, Master Bao should go out of the city first."

Different from Bao Zheng's simplicity, Cao Bin brought all his family members this time, leaving only a few servants to take care of the house.

The entire convoy spread for hundreds of meters, and there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages carrying people alone.

The situation in the capital will be unstable for a period of time in the future, and he is afraid that there will be another rebellion against King Yan, so he already plans to stay in Jiangnan for a long time.

Until the throne is decided, he does not plan to take his family back to Beijing......

After leaving the city, Di Qing and others had already set up a send-off banquet in the long pavilion, and soon after, Pan Renmei, Kou Zhun and others also came with a large number of officials to see them off.

Pan Renmei is sending Cao Bin, and Kou Zhun is sending Bao Zheng.

When Yelu Guanyin learned that Cao Bin was going to take up Jiangnan, he also rushed over and asked:

"Cao Bin, your Song State dismissed the deputy envoy for negotiation, and now you are going to Jiangnan to take up your post, do you still want to talk to my Da Liao?"

After speaking, a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Cao Bin's eyes.

Cao Bin knew that she was tempting, and couldn't help laughing:

"I don't think the princess is in a hurry, just wait with peace of mind, without Cao, the court will have follow-up arrangements!"
