Chapter 421: Li Qingzhao's embarrassment
Li Qingzhao has been depressed lately.
She was originally a famous family, but she was talented, had a good life, and had few real troubles.
Especially after his cousin married Cai Jing as a continuation, his father's career became very smooth, and he also made a marriage contract with Zhao Mingcheng.
Although at the beginning of the year, the fiancé did not personally go into the water to save her, which made her a little dissatisfied, but thinking that this was a rational and correct approach, she didn't mind anymore.
On the second day, seeing that he didn't blame himself for being angry and borrowing Cao Bin's boat to go home, Li Qingzhao felt a little guilty and felt that he was too sensitive after being drunk.
She is smart and independent, although she admires and admires Cao Bin's ability and deeds, but if she wants to get married, she prefers a person with a soft personality like Zhao Mingcheng.
As a person who doesn't want to be constrained too much, she is very self-aware and feels that most men can't stand her character.
After the two reconciled, they got along well, and she was already looking forward to her life after marriage.
But just when everything was proud, the situation in the court suddenly changed greatly, not only Duanwang and Cai Jing collapsed, but even their own families were implicated.
Although he will not be exterminated by the imperial court, his father is likely to be demoted out of Beijing.
Even his future father-in-law was stripped of his official position as a scholar because of his opposition to Cao Bin's appointment as the deputy envoy of the Third Division, and there is still no conclusion.
Thinking of Cao Bin, she changed from admiration in the past to resentment and admiration now.
What I admire is that Cao Bin's toughness in dealing with state affairs can defeat the Western Xia Liao State one after another, but what makes her uncomfortable is that because Cao Bin brought down Duan Wang Caijing, her family has fallen into the current situation.
Now my father sighs at home every day, trembling and frightened, lest the court come to ask for the guilt.
Because I couldn't stand the dullness at home, I wanted to go out of the city with my fiancé to relax today, but I didn't expect to break my foot just after getting out of the car, so I had to turn around and go back.
What's even more unfortunate is that when he arrived at the city gate, the axle of the carriage broke again, and he caught up with the Liaoxia envoy to enter the city.
Those Xixia and Liao people were very arrogant, they came up to drive her, and they had to forcibly pull her out of the car, and she didn't have time to borrow a carriage if she wanted to.
Although she is a woman, she also wants to save face, okay?
If they were really pulled out of the carriage and driven away, he would have no face to mix in Bianjing, and he would definitely become a laughing stock in the Bianjing boudoir.
Although she is smart, she is helpless in the face of this situation.
I was expecting Zhao Mingcheng to find a way, but I didn't expect him to only come forward to negotiate, and when he saw the Xixia people rushing over like fierce gods, he was so frightened that he ran away:
"Qingzhao, don't worry, I'll go to my father and find a way......"
Seeing Zhao Mingcheng fleeing in fright, Li Qingzhao was so angry that he had a toothache.
Although she knew that her fiancé was not a heroic person, she didn't expect him to be so timid.
If it weren't for a few family members who stepped forward to stop her, I'm afraid she would have been thrown into the street by the Tanguts.
In desperation, she had to shout to the officials of the Foreign Affairs Yuan who greeted the Liaoxia envoy:
"My lord, the concubine was injured when she went out, she had difficulty moving, and she needed to borrow a car to enter the city, why was she forcibly driven away?"
"It's so hard that you want to watch the Liao and Western Xia people commit murder in Bianjing?"
If the Great Song soldiers stepped forward, it would be fine, and the Liao and Xia people were mainly anti-guest, and they did it themselves, which is unreasonable.
Moreover, although the foreign affairs official was persuading the Liaoxia envoys, they did not dare to send soldiers to stop the Liaos and Xixia people, which was too embarrassing.
Hearing Li Qingzhao's accusation, the surrounding people were also indignant:
"The imperial court is too sloppy? actually let Liao and Western Xia be so rampant in my Bianjing. ”
There are also people who are unfair:
"I think those barbarians have taken a fancy to the little lady in the car, and they want to take it back, the court is incompetent......"
They were driven away by the Liaoxia soldiers, and they were already dissatisfied, but when they saw them bullying a woman like this, they were even more angry.
But after all, they are just ordinary people, and they only dare to talk about one or two, and they don't dare to force their heads.
When the officials of the Foreign Affairs Yuan heard the complaints around them, they glanced at Li Qingzhao with anger, and had to say to the Liaoxia envoy:
"General Yelu, King Weige, let your people stop, and this official will clear the way for you immediately."
When the envoy of the Liao State heard this, he laughed, glanced at the official with disdain, and said:
"We originally came to offer condolences, but you Da Song blocked the city gate for no reason, and trying to refuse me is equivalent to leaving the door."
"Isn't that rude? Is it so difficult that you are not afraid of my big Liao iron ride? ”
"This official is unprepared to tell you that my Da Liao has made an alliance with Western Xia to fight the enemy together......"
As he spoke, he looked at Brother Wei with a smile and said:
"Brother Wei, do you think that's the case?"
Brother Weiwei's eyes flickered, and he took a closer look at Li Qingzhao's clothes, and then nodded and said:
"General Yelu is right, but it's just a matter of sending the woman to the post house to apologize."
"Otherwise......"
When Li Qingzhao heard this, his heart was cold, not to mention what the envoy of Western Xia was thinking for the time being, as long as he went to the post house, his reputation would be gone.
At this moment, Brother Wei Mingwei heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw Cao Bin driving the horse over, so he suddenly stopped abruptly and exclaimed:
"Cao Bin?"
Cao Bin laughed:
"Isn't this my brother Xiaowei? Tell me, how else? ”
When everyone saw Cao Bin appearing, the crowd of people suddenly became noisy.
Someone rejoiced:
"Great, it's Cao Houye who is here, see if they dare to run rampant?"
Others are worried:
"Your Majesty has just died, the country is unstable, I'm afraid Cao Houye will have to back down, don't you see that foreign affairs official is forbearant everywhere? I'm afraid this is the attitude of the imperial court. ”
The man from before took a sip and said:
"Fart, is Cao Houye a person who forbears and retreats? Hmph, Cao Houye has an arrogant and domineering face, I really don't know what it looks like for him to be soft. ”
At this time, the foreign affairs official also came forward to salute, and took the opportunity to remind in a whisper:
"Lord Hou, don't offend the envoys of Western Xia and Da Liao, Prime Minister Wang specially instructed me, my Great Song Dynasty can't withstand the war, so let it go."
Cao Bin stretched out his leg and gave him a kick and scolded:
"Why do you want me to get out of the way, I don't need you to teach me, when I was in the Foreign Affairs Academy, you didn't know where to eat soil?"
The official thought that Cao Bin understood the predicament of the Great Song Dynasty, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly:
"It's all up to Cao Houye's orders."
As he spoke, he quickly flashed to the side.
This kind of trouble, he can't wait to let go, anyway, Cao Bin's official position is bigger than himself, even if he handles it badly, he can't blame himself.
Cao Bin didn't pay attention to his careful thoughts, just pointed with a horsewhip and instructed the sedan chair:
"Give me a beating of those Xia and Liao people, and if they die, it's mine."
The sedan chair was ordered, without any hesitation, and directly "snorted" a throat, jumped over, and grabbed those ten Western Xia pawns is punching and kicking.
Seeing that his subordinates were beaten and cried and called for his mother, Yelu Yixian suddenly couldn't help it:
"Cao Bin, let your people stop, do you want to anger me Da Liao and Western Xia? I'm a big Liao iron rider ......"
Without waiting for him to finish, Cao Bin shook it over with a whip and scolded:
"Tynyma. Iron ......"
