The conflict with the Liaoxia envoy could only be regarded as a small episode, and Cao Bin didn't take it too seriously.

How to deal with the detention of the Empress Dowager and Zhao Ji by Western Xia will ultimately depend on the decision of the imperial court.

Cao Bin is the deputy envoy of the third division, and he will not do superfluous things until the court decides, so as not to be thankless.

This time he just happened to meet, and if he didn't show up, he couldn't say anything.

After sending the Liaoxia envoy, Cao Bin also returned to the mansion with his family.

That night, Cao Bin held another family banquet in the front hall to entertain Pang Ji, the old father-in-law.

He looked at Cao Bin, who was becoming more and more majestic, smiled with satisfaction, and said:

"Juncai, although you now hold the important positions of the three divisions, you can't give up the military power in your hands, what are your plans for the front division of the palace? Is there a suitable candidate? ”

Cao Bin nodded and smiled:

"In this rebellion, my old department Di Qing has made a lot of contributions, and I am qualified to run for the position of deputy commander of the front division of the palace."

"There is also Lin Chong, he endured humiliation and took the risk to save the new monarch, this kind of merit, it should not be difficult for any of the commanders of the army."

Due to Li Zhaoming's army to force the palace, the imperial court seems to be deliberately vacant in the position of commander of the front division of the palace, and only set up a deputy position.

There is a precedent for this kind of thing, Taizu was the former secretary of the palace back then, and after the imperial robe was added, he directly abolished the post of inspection.

Later, even the front division and deputy of the palace were checked, and all Yu Hou was vacant, afraid that the generals would have too much military power and ambition.

In this way, Di Qing can serve as the deputy commander, which is the biggest official position in the front of the palace, and the only uncertainty is whether the imperial court will add another deputy commander.

When Pang Ji heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled:

"That's good, I think that Di Qing is extremely talented, and he is a good talent selected by talents."

So saying, he admonished:

"Your current status is the most taboo cronyism, and the key position must be well controlled."

"Otherwise, not only will he not be able to help you, but he may also be holding you back."

"Loyalty is as important as talent is important, and no one is absolutely faithful."

"The old man suffered a lot of losses back then, don't learn from Pan Renmei at this point......"

Cao Bin nodded, indicating that he was taught, in fact, he had the inheritance card of the Time and Space Mall, and he would always slowly gather enough die-hard subordinates, and he did not have such worries as Pang Ji.

As he was talking, Menzi suddenly took it and reported:

"Young master, the former middle school scholar Zhao Sheren and Taixue Dr. Li are asking to see each other outside the door."

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, this is Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao's father?

When Pang Ji heard this, he immediately laughed:

"These two people know how to follow the trend, and it seems that they want to join your door."

"Then Zhao Tingzhi is quite talented, and it's hard to say whether he has a good character, but he is suitable for being an official."

Cao Bin nodded when he heard this:

"Let them in."

After a while, the two walked in with their children.

"I've seen Master Pang, I've seen Cao Houye."

Among them, the middle-aged handsome guy was even more grateful:

"Thank you Lord Hou for being the master of the little girl and forcing the Liaoxia envoy back, otherwise the little girl will be closed today."

Father Zhao also hurriedly said:

"Defu, Qingzhao, still don't thank Cao Houye?"

At this time, Zhao Mingcheng was full of shame, lowered his head and no one dared to look, and when he heard his father's orders, he didn't speak, but just made a big salute.

He actually didn't want to show his face, it was too embarrassing today, and he was ridiculed by Li Qingzhao when he went back, he only felt ashamed and angry.

Seeing that Li Qingzhao also ran to thank him, Cao Bin was a little surprised, but he didn't care, waved his hand and said:

"It's just a trivial matter, it's Liaoxia's rudeness first, I'm just acting impartially, sit down."

As he spoke, he commanded the maid:

"Tell Madame and ask her to entertain Mrs. Li."

Seeing Cao Bin's kind face, Father Zhao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to say:

"Master Hou, the lower officials got a little news, and some officials seem to have a lot of complaints about you."

Seeing Cao Bin's doubts, Father Zhao hurriedly said:

"It's the people of the political hall, they feel that what Hou Ye did today is too strong, and they don't know the severity, which may not be conducive to the negotiation between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia."

Li Qingzhao was going to go to the backyard with the maid, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but show a disdainful expression:

"A hill and a ravine, all soft bones!"

Hearing this, Zhao Mingcheng almost stuck his head in the soil, only to feel that his face was like fire, and he always felt that she was alluding to herself.

Even Father Zhao couldn't say any more, stared at her fiercely, and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Father Li's eyelids jumped slightly, and he hurriedly reprimanded:

"Shut up, you know what? The Empress Dowager is in the hands of barbarians, how can she not be careful? ”

Li Qingzhao let out a slight "sigh", and followed the maid without looking back.

Father Li smiled embarrassedly, a little speechless, this daughter is too willful, do you still want to marry the Zhao family?

With such an attitude towards the future father-in-law, it would be strange if he was not cleaned up by his in-laws in the future.

Father Zhao ignored this, but looked at Cao Bin and explained:

"Master Hou, please don't misunderstand, the lower officials don't dare to agree with them, they just want to remind Master Hou to be careful."

Cao Bin said casually:

"Who has the opinion?"

Father Li was just about to speak, but Father Zhao spoke first:

"It was Sima Guang who proposed it, it seems that Prime Minister Wang Cheng also agrees with this proposal, he just wants to calm things down as soon as possible and save the Queen Mother."

"According to the lower officials, Hou Ye only needs to take a self-defense recital, and he doesn't have to get too involved in this matter, no matter what the result is, it will not benefit you."

This guy is very self-conscious, and even thinks of a solution.

If there is no way to easily save Empress Dowager Liu, there is really no benefit in participating in this matter, not to mention Wang Yanling, and maybe it will cause a commotion.

Because this matter is difficult to solve perfectly, Xixia holding the Empress Dowager Liu is equivalent to holding the face of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will definitely not send her back easily.

If you want to exchange for Empress Dowager Liu, whether it is spending money or losing land, if you are too involved, it is easy for the other party to throw the black pot on your head.

After Father Zhao finished speaking, he smiled and said:

"I thought that Hou Ye was not suitable for controlling the three divisions, but he was a shallow official, and I hope that Hou Ye will not be surprised."

"If it's too late today, the lower officials won't spare it......"

He informed Cao Bin of the news he knew, and he had already made his position clear, and then he did not drag his feet at all, and directly submitted his farewell.

If Cao Bin accepts, he will naturally express something.

Then, he glanced at Father Li and said with a smile:

"In addition, after the spring of next year, Xia Guan plans to marry Xiao'er, if the waiting master has time to come, we will be honored to ......"

As he spoke, he called Father Li and was about to leave.

Father Li was stunned, and sighed slightly:

"I don't know if Hou Ye's self-defense chapter has a draft? The little girl is quite good at writing, and often ghostwrites for the lower officials, or can help the grandfather. ”

Father Zhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said angrily:

"Brother Li, what do you mean by this?"

Made, I don't see it, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is a master of sycophancy, but what about my son?

At this time, Zhao Mingcheng also showed a wry smile, but he felt that he had no face to refute......
