Chapter 369: The Yang Family Expects Cao Bin to make a move
At this time, the capital Tianbo Fuzhong.
The entire Yang family was overjoyed, because of the news from the north, not only did Yang Zongbao retreat, but also completed the task perfectly.
In any case, this is a great achievement.
However, being impeached is also certain, after all, the imperial court will definitely not allow it to send troops without going through the center.
Even if the emperor agreed, they would not agree.
It depends on whether the emperor can give it or not, after all, this is to help him under the pressure of the entire court.
And Cao Bin also gave follow-up arrangements in the letter.
Eighth Sister Yang said with excitement on her face:
"Mother, Cao Bin said in the letter that if nothing happens, Zong Bao will be promoted to the title this time, is this true?"
Although the Yang family has three titles, the key to the prosperity of the family is still in Yang Zongbao.
With this hereditary marquis, it can be passed down for several generations, and the weight will increase a lot, and it will be easier to be an official.
She Taijun shook his head and said:
"Mother doesn't expect Zong Bao to be promoted to a knighthood, as long as the court doesn't ask the Yang family for guilt, I'll be content."
"It's too early to say this, but this is a national merit, even if the court doesn't recognize it, it's worth it."
Although she said it very reservedly, there was still a joy in her eyes.
It's not that she has any greed for power and office.
It's just that after Lao Linggong was martyred, the Yang family's situation deteriorated, and the male did not succeed, and being able to glorify her ancestors was still not very attractive to her.
However, she was also a little worried.
In the past, when the Yang family had an accident, it was all maintained by Kou Zhun and other loyal ministers, but this time they were more or less offended.
It's not that they don't want to rely entirely on the emperor and become the emperor's henchmen.
But they don't use the means of flattery.
Without the help of Kou Zhun and others, once some traitors succeeded, the emperor would immediately forget their exploits, which was really a bit unreliable.
The royal family is ruthless, and choosing to be a lonely minister is not a good choice.
This is also the reason why they were worried after receiving Cao Bin's letter before, and the risks in it were too great.
When the Yang family's Sanniang heard this, she laughed:
"Don't worry, old lady, I think Cao Bin's arrangement this time is very appropriate."
"Da Song Daily will report in detail on the beginning and end of this negotiation, which will cause public opinion."
"Everyone in the world will understand our hard work and loyalty, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to risk the condemnation of the world......"
Mu Guiying also nodded in agreement:
"The Great Song Daily has already begun to secretly build momentum, and it has also given the court enough face, presumably the court will not seize it."
"Cao Bin is far away in Jiangnan, but it is rare for him to think it so thoroughly."
Hearing this, Eighth Sister Yang was secretly proud, but also a little dissatisfied:
"Cao Bin has always been cleverly planned, when did he go wrong? Gui Ying, you're a little proud. ”
Mu Guiying was depressed by what she said, and said a little speechlessly:
"Yes, you're right!"
She was too lazy to argue with Sister Yang, and she thought she still knew a lot about Cao Bin.
Although Cao Bin often shows unexpected skills, she can always find some flaws and embarrassments, so she will not be admired for no reason like Yang Bajie.
But Cao Bin planned so carefully this time, she couldn't help but feel a little moved and grateful in her heart, especially after seeing Yang Zongbao's reply......
A few days passed, and the second wave of Liao envoys finally arrived in Bianjing.
On this day, the menzi of Tianbo Mansion suddenly reported:
"Old lady, Lord Kou is visiting."
Everyone looked at each other, and they all knew the purpose of Kou Zhun's visit, probably to ask the teacher for sin.
Old lady She smiled bitterly and said:
"Come with me!"
After Kou Zhun came in, he didn't show anything unusual, and after drinking a cup of tea, he shook his head and said:
"Old lady, if it is not the official who is abrupt, although you are also thinking about the Great Song Dynasty, this disaster is indeed a bit big."
Without waiting for the girls to get nervous, Kou Zhun said again:
"Thanks to this success, there is still room for maneuver between this official and the prime minister, if it triggers the Song Liao War, have you considered the consequences?"
When everyone heard this, their expressions were relieved, and Eighth Sister Yang hurriedly asked:
"If Lord Kou says so, the court won't pursue it? Does that count as credit? ”
Kou Zhun nodded and said:
"It's not easy to make the Liao Kingdom bow its head, rest assured, the Yang family still has the credit."
"The imperial court will not humiliate the heroes......"
Without waiting for everyone to be happy, Kou Zhun continued:
"This official is here for the eighth sister this time."
"Zhang Wen, the nephew of Li Zhaoming, is a young hero, after a famous family, isn't he a good match?"
When Eighth Sister Yang heard this, her face suddenly changed......
Hangzhou.
With the holy decree and the new envoy about to take office, the local gentry finally relaxed in the face of Cao Bin.
Not only did Cao Bin resign from his post as an observer envoy and the head of soldiers and horses, and he was transferred to the post of pacification envoy of the two Zhejiangs, but Zhu Fu, the deputy envoy of salt and iron, also took up the post of the transfer envoy of the two Zhejiangs.
and Cao Bin are in charge of military politics and financial endowment.
Although the pacification envoy can be regarded as a feudal official, it is better than Cao Bin's previous monopoly on ownership.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed in a flash, and Cao Bin had just come out of the manor on this day and rushed to the city government, when suddenly several people rushed to his carriage and shouted:
"Master Hou, please call the shots for us!"
When Cao Bin heard this, he was immediately interested, but he didn't expect that he also experienced the treatment of being stopped and sued, and poked his head out and asked:
"Who are you, and why are you stopping my frame?"
The old man said:
"Master Hou, we are Quzhou refugees, we misheard people's words and wronged you, please save us."
Cao Bin suddenly lost interest when he heard their identities, and directly lowered the car curtain.
Seeing this, the sedan chair immediately stepped forward and threw the people aside, scolding and scolding:
"Now that I know that I have mistrusted the bad guys, why did I go earlier?"
Lu Zhishen rode a horse and followed the car, and said with a somewhat complicated expression:
"Master Hou, do you really care?"
Cao Bin waved his hand and said confidently:
"Don't worry, let the arrows fly for a while!"
As he spoke, the carriage started, and in a short time it was gone.
Several people looked at each other and said with bitter faces:
"What now?"
It turned out that after they were taken over by the local gentry, only three days passed in the good days.
After that, the gentry began to find ways to get their land, and the food plummeted.
By now, they can't even drink gruel every day, some people have begun to starve to death, and they are forced to sell their land by various means.
At this point, they already regretted it and wanted to hit the wall.
Just as he was about to discuss what to do next, a group of family members had already chased after him......
A few days later, at night, Wang Jiadong crossed the hospital.
The head of the Wang family hugged the young and smooth Li and smiled:
"I said don't worry, isn't this a chance?"
"Lord Zhu will arrive in Hangzhou tomorrow, he is Cai Xiang's person, and he will definitely find a way to deal with Cao Bin."
"This is our chance......."
As he was talking, suddenly there was a sharp laugh from the beam, and then he shouted at the top of his voice:
"Come on, I've caught the Manichaean demon plotting!"
