Seeing that she was being targeted again, Li Qingzhao's eyes showed some annoyance, and her jade hand also tightened her cyan official uniform, she was not a person who liked to forbear.

However, she was worried that if she spoke without permission, it would affect Cao Bin, so she looked at him with inquiring eyes.

In many cases, the origin of the official determines his position.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, it's hard to wash away other people's perception of him.

The same is true for Li Qingzhao, whether she was recommended by Cao Bin to join the court, or was promoted exceptionally, she naturally stood on Cao Bin's side.

Therefore, when the courtiers attack her, they often really point to Cao Bin, and if Cao Bin falls, she will also be implicated.

In this case, she will instinctively feel a sense of belonging to Cao Bin, who shelters her.

Seeing Li Qingzhao's inquiring eyes, Cao Bin shook his head slightly and gave her a reassuring look.

Since he dared to recruit Li Qingzhao as an official, he was naturally prepared, and asked directly:

"Dare to ask Imperial Envoy Kou, which law of my Great Song Dynasty does not allow women to be officials?"

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Cao Bin to start with the law.

It's just that in this era, it is difficult to separate the law from the ritual law and folk customs:

"Xia Guan thinks this is common sense and precedent!"

There are many women in the court and China, so naturally there is no relevant law.

However, there are books such as "Female Commandments" to teach women's behavioral norms, and a consensus has been formed on women's lifestyles.

Li Qingzhao is the first person to break the norms, and of course, Cao Bin's foolery is indispensable.

Hearing Kou Zhun's words, Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"I don't want you to think, I want me to think!"

"Common sense is not clear, and I thought your common sense was wrong."

Kou Zhun almost choked and said angrily:

"Zhongjing Hou Xiu wants to force his resignation, and the consequences of your unconventional recruitment of Li's daughter are known to everyone."

"As a minister of state, you should have acted cautiously."

"How can you be so sloppy because of your own selfish desires?"

"How wrong is it for the official to say that the punishment is heavy?"

Cao Bin didn't care what he said, he only bit one point and said:

"Imperial Envoy Kou has been talking for a long time, but there is still no law that prohibits women from being officials?"

Kou Zhun almost died of anger, I told you the rules, you told me the law, I told you the influence, you also told me the law.

Don't forget that you are not an ordinary person, but an important minister of the court, and your every move will cause far-reaching harm.

Kou Zhun didn't plan to use this incident to bring down Cao Bin, Sima Guang was just wishful thinking, not to mention that this matter had not caused a bad impact, and it was difficult to shake Cao Bin's status as a lonely minister.

Even if he becomes everyone shouting and beating, the father and daughter of the Pan family will not watch him fall, and they need Cao Bin to balance Wang Yanling's pressure.

His so-called heavy punishment is nothing more than a demotion and a penalty to deter officials who are crooked.

I didn't expect Cao Bin to be so oily and salty, did he really want to keep the official position of the Li family?

He was about to be ruthless, but saw Cao Bin arch his hand and said:

"Queen Mother, the minister wants to impeach Kou Zhun for slandering Weichen."

"The minister's recommendation of Li Niangzi as an official is out of public intentions, innocent, why do you have your own selfish desires?"

Seeing Kou Zhun pouting, Cao Bin seemed to have been greatly wronged, and said righteously:

"The so-called internal move does not avoid relatives, and external avoidance does not avoid hatred."

"Ministers are talented for the country, what's wrong?"

Everyone was speechless, saying that they didn't even believe a single hair, and Kou Zhun snorted coldly:

"There are many talented people in the world, but Zhongjing Hou prefers to recruit a young woman, and he knows it."

However, he didn't bother to entangle with Cao Bin on the issue of innocence, and pointed to the core:

"This woman's talent may be useful, but it will also corrupt the atmosphere of the court."

"Has the Marquis of Zhongjing ever thought about it, is she worth such a price to be paid by the imperial court?"

Cao Bin sneered:

"How many talented people are there? A talented person like Sima Guang who cut land and lost silver? ”

"Didn't Imperial Envoy Kou ask if Ben Hou is worth it, Ben Hou might as well tell you, it's worth it!"

"In Cao's view, Li Niangzi's talent is in the opposition or in high seclusion, and she can be a good face in the court."

"Also, don't be alarmist."

"The Queen Mother has been thinking of my hard work and wants to raise merit, but now how can she ruin the atmosphere of the court if she gives me a helping hand?"

"Don't you think that everyone can get the grace of a mother?"

In order to be lazy in the future, Cao Bin also showed his face.

He doesn't know if Li Qingzhao has the talent of a prime minister, and maybe there is an official Wan'er inheritance.

Anyway, he can't weaken his momentum, what's wrong with bragging for Li Qingzhao?

Seeing Cao Bin give himself such a high evaluation in the court, Li Qingzhao's face turned red.

However, she didn't realize that she had a sudden feeling of confidant for Cao Bin in her heart, and her eyes when she looked at him changed.

Empress Dowager Pan also understood what Cao Bin meant.

She once promised Cao Bin the post of Sansi Zheng because of the pardon of King Duan, but she didn't expect him to give up the promotion for the daughter of the Li family.

Could it be that the woman is really talented? He valued it so much.

She doesn't understand Cao Bin's obsession with being lazy.

And Sansi Ben was under his control, and he didn't care too much about whether he was promoted or not.

Seeing that he made such a decision, Empress Dowager Pan had nothing to say, so she only said:

"Okay, don't fight."

"Cao Qing's family is right, the palace once promised that if he could welcome back the empress dowager this time, he would be given the post of three ministers."

"Since Cao Qing's family wants to change the gift, let's give it to him in advance."

Seeing that Kou Zhun was still arguing, Mrs. Pan's face suddenly sank and said:

"This palace has said it, so it will be dealt with according to this law, don't say more!"

Kou Zhun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Even Wang Yanling is not on his side, he is alone, and he can't resist the Empress Dowager Pan at all.

Subsequently, Empress Dowager Pan found a female official in the palace and added a positive nine-grade seal to Li Qingzhao on the spot, which was regarded as transferring the establishment to the palace.

It's just that she was also sent by the foreign court to help Cao Bin handle government affairs in the third division, which is a special gift from the Empress Dowager Pan......

Subsequently, Cao Bin proposed to send an envoy to Western Xia.

There were no twists and turns this time, and everyone else avoided it, and no one would rob him of this errand.

After setting the time for the envoy, the Empress Dowager Pan announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

Seeing that all the ministers were walking outside the hall one after another, Li Qingzhao hurriedly caught up with Cao Bin, and said a little shyly:

"Master Hou, you just praised too much."

Cao Bin looked her up and down for a moment, and saw that there was a faint recognition in her eyes, and shook his head seriously and said:

"Ben Hou is telling the truth, otherwise Ben Hou would have gone to great lengths to recruit Mrs. Li?"

Saying this, he threw out the "Shangguan Wan'er Inheritance Card", which suddenly blended into Li Qingzhao's body like flowing water.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but shudder, and said in disbelief:

"How do I feel something is wrong?"

Cao Bin was very happy to see this, the card was finally used, and asked with a smile:

"You feel something."

Li Qingzhao shook his head and said:

"It seems that I have learned something, and it seems to ...... Never mind. ”

As she spoke, she looked even more intimate, looked at Cao Bin with a smile and said:

"The lower official wants to go to the Hou Ye's mansion to ask for some official duties, but I don't know if I can ...... it."

Seeing that his daughter forgot about herself and followed Cao Bin out of the Zichen Palace, Father Li rubbed his weak legs, and his face showed a bitter color.

These legs are still very weak, how can I go home?
