Chapter 444: Cao Juncai, who has never been a beauty

Western Xia now stood side by side in three directions.

didn't hide Pang in the middle of the court to suppress Brother Wei, didn't hide the black clouds to balance it, and the whole was peaceful.

Cao Bin is also bored, he has come all the time, won't he come in vain if he doesn't do something.

stirring up trouble among them, maybe it will also allow the spy who inherited the "Three Kingdoms Chen Deng" to take the opportunity to take the position.

Although he was reaccepted by Western Xia, he was not very trusted, and it was not easy to climb to a high position.

Just take this opportunity to help him.

He is insidious and cunning, and he is not easy to be fooled, but Brother Wei can still take advantage of it.

At this time, listening to Cao Bin praising Brother Weiming, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he immediately laughed casually:

"What Marquis Cao said is reasonable, and the king of politics is a great talent in my country."

"Please come in, please come in!"

The accompanying officials of the Great Song Dynasty mission were originally very worried, after all, in the Yuan Hao era, the Western Xia was very ferocious, and in their opinion, this was the country of barbarians.

I didn't expect the Western Xia Prime Minister to go out of the city to greet him, not to mention, but also behaved so politely, it seems that he still has some friendship with Cao Houye, so it is much safer.

This made them breathe a sigh of relief, no wonder the king was very honest along the way, it turned out that there was still such a relationship......

After the mission entered the city, it first went to meet the empress dowager who was stranded in Western Xia.

When Empress Dowager Liu saw the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty mission, Cao Bin personally led the team, and she was already crying with joy, as if she had seen a relative.

Even though Xixia didn't treat her too badly, if she didn't return to the Great Song Dynasty for a day, she wouldn't be at ease for a day, lest Xixia regret it......

After seeing the Empress Dowager Liu, she first arranged a post house for the envoys, and then personally set up a banquet to entertain her, and after three rounds of wine, she couldn't help but ask:

"Master Hou, what are the regulations for the purchase of salt in the Great Song Dynasty?"

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.

Selling salt was a major event related to the fortunes of the country in Western Xia, and if it was done by him personally, it would greatly increase the prestige of Western Xia.

Cao Bin waved his hand and smiled, pointed to an official and said:

"On the matter of purchasing salt, the minister of state can talk to my country's deputy envoy, and Cao should not participate."

There was a hint of suspicion on his face, and he was about to say something, when a palace maid suddenly broke in:

"Qi Qi State Minister, the Queen Mother met with the Song State Envoy Cao Hou Ye in Xingqing Palace, saying that there is something to inquire."

didn't hide the slander Pang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Hou Ye Cao, look?"

Of course he knew what his sister was looking for Cao Bin for, but he was in such a hurry, I didn't even start talking about business.

But he also knows that his sister is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he may have a plan.

It's just that giving up this credit makes him a little unwilling.

Although the two are sisters and brothers, one is prosperous and the other is lost, but there are still many differences in rights.

At least she supported Brother Wei and stopped the idea of covering the sky in Western Xia......

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty were even more surprised, the Western Xia really respected the Marquis Cao, first the minister personally entertained him, and at this time even the queen mother had to meet in the palace.

This kind of treatment is unique in the Song, Liao, and Xia Kingdoms, right?

Thinking like this, they were secretly happy in their hearts, it seemed that this time the envoy to Xixia was completely stable.

Xingqing Palace is in the northwest of Xingqing City.

It is modeled after the Chang'an palace of the Tang Dynasty, which is not only luxurious and magnificent, but also introduces the Yellow River and digs a canal into a lake.

Everywhere there are sparkling, pavilions and pavilions, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.

This palace has spent Yuan Hao countless energy and financial resources, but today it has welcomed a guest surnamed Cao.

I have to say that Yuan Hao is a person who will enjoy it.

Lying on the side in the third floor of the North Palace, you can see the surging river outside the window, and the sound of water inside and outside the hall is staggered, which often makes people have a dreamy sense of time and space.

It's just that the river outside the window is slightly yellow, but the river inside the hall is white and glowing.

After a long time, he didn't hide the black cloud while playing with the parrot soaked in the river, and looked at Cao Bin with a smile on his face and said:

"Cao Lang, you are in charge of the three divisions in the Song Kingdom, and you are the chief envoy of the mission, you will definitely be able to determine the price of salt."

"I heard that the price of salt in the Song Kingdom has always been 44 Wen, it shouldn't be too much for you to give us 15 Wen, right?"

Cao Bin didn't even open his eyes, so he shook his head like a rattle:

"Don't embarrass Cao, when you set off, my queen mother and prime minister had already set the price of salt and handed it over to the deputy envoy to be responsible."

"I'm only responsible for welcoming back the Empress Dowager......"

Hearing this, Wuzang Heiyun sat up suddenly, ignoring the white lights flickering, his eyes widened and he said angrily:

"You heartless, you won't give me 15 wen?"

"I always think of you, and I have prepared a good gift for you."

Cao Bin was dazzled, hurriedly covered the light, and said with a smile:

"Don't be angry, don't talk about mundane things today...... Tell me what gift you have in store for me? ”

Seeing that he just wanted to ask for benefits, he couldn't pull out half of the iron hair, so he snorted angrily, gritted his teeth and said secretly:

Don t think that this palace doesn't know your weaknesses, I am on a par with you, so I don't believe that you are not in a trick, thinking so, she clapped her hands and called an acquaintance.

Then he looked at Cao Bin and said with a charming smile:

"Cao Lang, this woman was Yuan Hao's favorite, she was stunning in the world, and you didn't succeed back then."

"If you respond, this palace is willing to cooperate with her for a time......"

"If you shouldn't, I'm afraid your queen mother won't be able to welcome back the Great Song Dynasty."

Cao Bin looked at the woman, a little speechless, this is my own person, I need you to offer treasure?

Although Heiyun's proposal made Cao Bin a little moved, he said that he was by no means a man who could be won by a beauty, so he didn't care:

"Cao thought that the Queen Mother was the best gift."

"Since you say so, then the Empress Dowager doesn't want it, Benhou can order Chong Shiheng to send troops to help me kidnap the Empress Dowager's sister and live with Cao."

Hearing this, the black cloud was a little shocked.

Could this guy have changed his temper? can still threaten himself in such a clear scene.

She was thinking about it, but suddenly found that her key point was controlled by Cao Bin, only to see him staring at the woman who had not moved, and said viciously:

"Your queen mother has been kidnapped by Benhou, and you don't want her to die here, do you?"

For more than half a month, Cao Bin wandered in the Western Xia Palace every day, and even the Great Song Dynasty delegation rarely went back.

This led to a direct tripling of the expenses of the Western Xia Palace.

Anyway, you don't have to spend your own money, so no matter what food, clothing, housing and transportation, Cao Bin is extremely picky, and the exquisite life has opened the eyes of the black clouds.

He looked at the long bills in the palace, and wanted to drive the Song delegation away.

The deputy envoy of the Song State insisted that the price of 4 Wen salt would not be allowed to do so, and if it continued like this, his Western Xia Kingdom would be eaten poor by Cao Bin.

Mah, this guy is clearly a scourge......
