Cao Bin originally had no intention of showing up in the imperial court so soon.

Since you are pretending to be sick, you must pretend to be the end.

But he didn't expect that the reply from the black cloud would come so quickly, and he invited him to envoy to Western Xia.

It just so happened that Yan Yan Lu Jing slightly appeased the envoy Chong Shiheng also brought a letter, asking Cao Bin to help plan the rebuilding of Hengshan New Town.

Previously, he had written to the imperial court several times, but was rejected by the government hall and the Privy Council on the grounds of insufficient financial resources of the imperial court.

After Cao Bin received these two letters, he couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

Compared with Wang Yanling and Pan Renmei, Cao Bin actually believes in Chong Shiheng's views on military strategy.

And for him, there is no difference between going to Western Xia and vacationing now, it is still at public expense.

You can also take the opportunity to examine the feasibility of rebuilding the new city.

If Chong Shiheng's plan is feasible, then the Western Xia will be completely pinned to death in the Western Xinjiang, and there will be no worries about invading the Great Song Dynasty.

Even if it can't be wiped out soon, it can be deterred at all times, forcing it to turn its back on Northern Liao and become its loyal "ally".

In this way, there is no need to wait for the young emperor of Western Xia to come of age and slowly plan by political means.

After all, there are many possibilities in the future.

Although the emperor's loyalty will allow Cao Bin to occupy many leads, there is still the queen mother above the emperor, and there are ministers and clans below, all of whom have their own interests.

It's not so easy to make Xixia obey his orders.

Compared with pretending to be sick, the envoy to Western Xia is much more justifiable, at least he can completely clear his responsibility, and there is no such thing as those imperial envoys staring at him every day and finding fault for impeachment.

Although Cao Bin is not afraid of these, he also doesn't like to be scolded, and he even has to sneak around when he goes out to play.

Therefore, Cao Bin rushed to the court to agree on the envoy, and by the way, he gave Li Qingzhao a platform.

Since she doesn't plan to continue pretending to be sick, she doesn't need to help cover it up.

When Empress Dowager Pan heard that Cao Bin asked to see her, she nodded helplessly and said:

"Declare him into the temple."

This guy is alert, and whenever he is about to suffer, he always arrives in time.

But this time it's a style issue, which is the most difficult to justify, and you're here at this time, and you're pretending to be sick, aren't you asking for hardship?

If you don't come, I can still put all the blame on this Li woman, and try to clear your responsibility, this is difficult.

Li Qingzhao didn't know what Empress Dowager Pan was thinking, but when he heard Cao Bin hurrying, he instinctively felt certain in his heart.

She was besieged by her ministers just now, although she tried her best to keep calm, her face was cold and waveless, but she was already panicking in her heart.

In the past, she always thought that her argument was unparalleled, and the ministers were no more than Erer, but at this time, she realized that debate is based on identity.

As a woman, she is still a petty official of the ninth grade, and people only sent away one sentence of "the opinion of a foolish woman in the boudoir", and she was not given a chance to speak at all.

Even if she had something shocking, it was useless.

And the more those people talk, the more vicious they become, if this continues, even if she is not punished by the court, she will be pointed at by thousands of people.

Now she is still young, although she is intelligent, but she does not have the courage to despise the world and dare to sue her husband for divorce after she has matured.

"Marquis Zhongjing is really pretending to be sick!"

When Sima Guang saw Cao Bin appearing, he suddenly perked up and opened up his firepower.

"Marquis Zhongjing, you pretended to be sick and derelict your duties, neglected your duties and didn't say anything."

"I also brought an unmarried woman into the three divisions as officials, do you know that this is the imperial court, not the Qinglou Chu Pavilion."

"What do you want to do with this precedent?"

"You are confusing the dynasty, subverting the world, and creating evil for all generations......"

He has a deep grasp of debate, and now it is rare to grasp Cao Bin's handle and gain the upper hand in public opinion, so he naturally wants to chase and beat him up and crucify him completely.

Sima Guang even had some extravagant hopes, even if Cao Bin was not driven away from the court, he would be demoted by three ranks, and he would be released from Beijing, and there would be no chance to enter the center.

In fact, since he didn't see Cao Bin, Sima Guang looked at him very unpleasantly.

A martial artist, or a brother with trousers, you can fight well and listen to the court.

is actually doing the official position of the government, and he also controls the court, and the generals are in the prime minister, which is annoying when he thinks about it.

In his heart, even if Cao Bin bullies men and women at home, spending time drinking and drinking is cuter than now......

At this time, the more Sima Guang spoke, the more excited he became, and he went through Cao Bin's charges endlessly, and he almost didn't greet Bao Zheng to carry the guillotine.

Seeing this, Zhang Dian and the others couldn't help but feel gloomy, and they all sweated for Cao Bin.

It's really too difficult to argue with this question of men and women.

Although there are female generals serving in the court, they all follow their husbands or help their biological fathers, and there are relatives watching, and there are few opportunities for private contact with other men.

And you, Marquis Cao, have no proper relationship with the Li family, but you have made such a close subordinate and superior, if you say that there is no personal relationship, who will believe it.

Once this precedent is set, won't the imperial court become a place for secret meetings?

When the time comes, the court will stop managing the world, and make these filthy things every day.

At this point, they actually agree with the tone of Sima Guang's remarks.

However, axioms are axioms, and those who support Cao Bin don't want him to be argued, after all, this is his backer, and it is related to his official position.

It's just too difficult, and it's not reasonable, so how can you win?

At this time, even Li Qingzhao felt powerless.

Concubine Pang frowned when she saw this, and was about to learn from Empress Dowager Pan to pretend to be sick to save Cao Bin, but when she saw that he had already walked towards Sima Guang, she had to close her mouth and watch to see how he dealt with it.

"Hehe, Sima Guang, let's not talk about Benhou's problem first, I want to talk about your problem first."

Cao Bin said with a sneer.

Sima Guang frowned, raised his head slightly, glanced at Cao Bin and said:

"Marquis Zhongjing, please don't talk about him left and right......"

Hearing Cao Bin's words, Sima Guang secretly sneered, he was really a martial artist, and he wanted to replace defense with offense? This kind of means is all left over from my play.

You're not going to get your way!

He was complacent, but when he saw Cao Bin suddenly pull out the sword at his waist with a "hurry", he was so frightened that he jumped a step sideways and said vigilantly:

"Marquis Zhongjing, what are you going to do? Don't mess around! ”

Wang Yanling and the others were also frightened, and were about to step forward to stop them, but when they saw Cao Bin throwing the matching sword at Sima Guang's feet, they laughed and said:

"Sima Zhiyuan, what did you say at the beginning?"

"As long as Western Xia makes unconditional concessions and sends back the Empress Dowager with gifts, you will make self-determination in front of Kong Sheng."

As he spoke, he took out a letter and said:

"Now the Empress Dowager of Western Xia has replied to Benhou."

"There is no need for the Great Song Dynasty to pay compensation for land cession, and there is no need to pardon Zhao Ji ......"

"Now it's time for you to keep your promises!"

"Ben Hou will not force you to lose face in front of Kong Sheng, what you are even more sorry for is the first emperor of Lixian Xiashi, the thousands of Great Song Dynasty soldiers and the people of the world."

"You can decide for yourself in this court!"

Then, he patted Sima Guang, who was pale, and said:

"In addition, Ben Hou's crimes, Ben Hou will explain to the Empress Dowager and the court, and the virtuous ministers in the court, so I won't bother you with the person who is about to die."

Finally he sighed again:

"It's a pity that I, the green sword, want to kill you, an incompetent rat who betrays the country and flatters the enemy......"
