Chapter 492: Huaidong is the general of Pan's plan
"Dead? That's impossible! ”
Hearing Cao Bin's words, Huang Yushi suddenly exclaimed, and when he saw Cao Bin looking at him, he hurriedly added:
"How could Lord Han be so unwise?"
Seeing that Huang Yushi looked flustered, Cao Bin probably understood his details.
Yangzhou Hou can build Huaidong officialdom like an iron bucket, and there must be some comrades in the DPRK and China, at least in the "election lawsuit" has a deep relationship.
Cao Bin and Han Jiang both know this.
also knew that those people didn't have to keep Yangzhou Hou, but Yangzhou Hou had their handle in his hands, and he also sent dead soldiers to hide in the capital.
Now that the newspaper industry in the Great Song Dynasty is relatively developed, once the news of the death of the Marquis of Yangzhou comes out, the deceased is likely to publish the evidence in his hand to the world, so that those people will be finished together.
stabilized his mind, and Huang Yushi didn't care about offending Cao Bin, and held up the holy decree and said:
"Master Hou, the lower officials are here by order, if there is deception, it is a crime to deceive the king."
As he spoke, he glanced at Han Jiang, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes:
"Xia Guan believes that Lord Han will not dare to deceive the imperial court, and he will not kill the Marquis of Yangzhou without a trial by the imperial court...... I also asked Marquis Cao to tell the truth and hand over Yangzhou Marquis to us. ”
Hearing this, Han Jiang hurriedly looked at Cao Bin pitifully.
"Lord Hou......"
After seeing Huang Yushi's abnormal reaction, he instantly understood Cao Bin's plan, knowing that the other party did not deliberately harm himself, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but secretly complain.
Damn, this guy Cao Bin let himself go to thunder again.
If the co-author is not your descendant, he will use it as an animal, which is really inappropriate!
If things go well, if the dead man of Yangzhou Hou does not act as expected or has other accidents, he is likely to die to the end and be completely hopeless.
After experiencing Cao Bin's bad character, he didn't think that the other party would admit the crime of bullying the king and save himself.
On the contrary, he can take the opportunity to kill Yangzhou Hou to prevent this person from making trouble secretly in the future, anyway, the crime has already been borne by himself.
Cao Bin ignored his pleas for mercy, put the tea bowl on the table, frowned and said unhappily:
"Huang Yushi said this, is he suspected that Benhou is bullying the king?"
When Huang Yushi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he said in a muffled voice:
"I don't dare to doubt Master Hou, it's just that there are a lot of doubts in this matter, after all, we are here by holy order, and we must do our best, and please don't embarrass us."
In any case, he did not want to believe that the Marquis of Yangzhou was dead.
What's more, who in the court doesn't know that this Marquis Cao is acting absurdly and unscrupulously? It is not impossible to deceive the king with false words.
It's just that Cao Bin is too powerful, he feels that he can't stand it a little, if Cao Bin is offended to death, even if he escapes this catastrophe this time, it will be difficult to predict the future, so he looked at Zhanzhao:
"Zhan Guard, this case is jointly handled by Yushitai and Kaifeng Mansion, and you are the deputy envoy of the imperial court, you see ......"
The Kaifeng Mansion of the Black Sea has always been the head of iron, isn't it just to bring Zhanzhao to use it at such a time?
Zhan Zhao didn't understand the twists and turns, and he was also a little sympathetic to Han Jiang who was pitted, seeing that Huang Yushi pushed the responsibility to himself, he couldn't avoid it, so he had to give up:
"Master Hou, we are here on the orders of the emperor, and there are suspicious points, can you allow us to search and return your innocence?"
"If this case is blocked, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Hou Ye to explain to the imperial court......"
Hearing this, Huang Yushi was overjoyed, he liked this kind of outspoken colleague who was not afraid of offending people.
Zhan Zhao said it so clearly, he didn't believe that Cao Bin ignored the taboos.
It's just that before Zhanzhao finished speaking, Xia Suiliang and the others had already drawn their swords and stepped forward one after another, staring at him with fierce eyes and shouting:
"Bold, presumptuous......"
Seeing this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp, and the golden lamp sword ran out, he couldn't afford to provoke it.
Fortunately, Cao Bin waved his hand to stop them:
"How to explain to the court is the business of Benhou, and the Zhan guards don't have to worry about it."
"What's more, you seem to have some kinship with Ben Hou, and it is better for you to avoid the case involving Ben Hou!"
When Zhan Zhao heard this, he suddenly became depressed.
He was a little ashamed to say that his wife recognized Cao Bin as his father-in-law, and now he is almost dead on the spot, but he has to bite the bullet and see the ceremony again:
"Meet that, Yue, Yue...... Gentleman. ”
Cao Bin nodded with satisfaction:
"In public, be commensurate with your official position."
Huang Yushi was already a little dumbfounded, until he was sent off the painting boat, he was still a little dizzy, he came with a decree, and he was sent away so easily? It's outrageous.
It's just about his family and his life, where is Huang Yushi willing to give up easily?
He didn't know that Zhanzhao still had jealousy in his heart, he just thought that Zhanzhao was given the title of royal cat by the first emperor, and he was one of the best masters in the world.
If Zhan Zhao could spy on Cao Bin's line at night, things would have taken a turn for the better, so he said in a low voice:
"Zhan Guard, the will of the imperial court is to let us escort Han Jiang and the Marquis of Yangzhou into Beijing together."
"Lord Bao has always been iron-faced and selfless, you can't protect the Marquis of Zhongjing for personal reasons, it's better to ......"
Zhan Zhao frowned, although he was a little unhappy with Cao Bin's domineering behavior, he was also a little confused about Huang Yushi's attitude, and was about to answer, but he heard Han Jiang, who was escorted off the boat, say with a straight face:
"If this official is someone, he will honestly cooperate with Cao Hou's plan, and if the situation is not serious, there is still a chance to get out."
"If you don't have self-knowledge, and you still want to make some conspiracies in front of Cao Hou's eyes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save your family!"
It's not that he has let go of his grudge against Cao Bin, it's just that the matter has come to this point, and he also wants to convict Yangzhou Hou and the party as soon as possible.
Although Cao Bin cheated him, in terms of the overall situation, he somewhat recognized the other party's plan.
Hearing this, Huang Yushi said a little unnaturally:
"What do you mean, Lord Han?"
At this time, Zhan Zhao also reacted, why didn't he understand that this Huang Yushi wanted to use himself as a swordman? So he glanced at Huang Yushi coldly, snorted lightly, and ignored him anymore.
He felt that he should do his job well, except for Lord Bao, these officials have too many bad intentions.
However, after knowing Cao Bin's approximate purpose, all the unhappiness in his heart disappeared......
When Huaidong Salt was gradually on the right track, the battle in the capital had already been raging.
After nightfall, although the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty had been locked, Pan Renmei and He Jianzhang were still discussing major matters with Empress Dowager Pan in the Funing Palace.
At this time, He Jianzhang, the governor of the council, was persuading:
"Queen Mother, we can't delay any longer, we have to move troops."
"Wang Yanling is a minister of Tuogu, he has the edict of the first emperor to protect himself, and his power is too strong, it is difficult to suppress this person only by the court."
"As far as the minister knows, Marquis Zhongjing has roughly sorted out the salt affairs in Huaidong, and he will be able to return to Beijing in a month as soon as possible, and then it will be a state of tripartite checks and balances, and it will be difficult to make a big move."
"Don't miss the opportunity!"
Empress Dowager Pan hesitated, lightly opened her lips and asked:
"There must be a reason, what crime did this palace ask Wang Yanling on what charge, and where did he go to find evidence of the crime? The ministers are afraid that they will not be convinced. ”
He Jianzhang hurriedly said:
"There is no need, the Queen Mother is the king, Wang Yanling is the minister, and there are soldiers and horses in the hands of Taishi Pan, why worry too much?"
"After taking down this person, just insert the charge casually, who dares to disagree?"
When Pan Renmei heard this, she also nodded, stroked her beard and smiled:
"This is exactly what the old man intended, Wang Yanling just thought that we were waiting to sit back and watch Cao Bin leave Beijing in order to meddle in the bank."
"But I don't know that the old man's real purpose is that he is the prime minister......"
After speaking, he still didn't finish his words:
"My original intention was to kill Wang Yanling's eldest son, find his flaws, and probably win Wang Yanling justifiably."
"After that, while Cao Bin leaves Beijing, he will destroy his minions, and then he will be secluded or killed, who else can compete with you and my father and daughter in this court?"
"I never thought that Cao Bin, this kid is indeed capable of something, and he can clarify the salt affairs of Huaidong so quickly, forcing the old man not to do it in advance."
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Pan was a little displeased and said:
"My father never said that he would deal with Cao Bin, and my daughter still wants to use him to assist my son, how can I deal with it like this?"
"Taking Huaidong Salt Affairs as an example, this problem related to half of the imperial court's income was avoided by the courtiers, and even the father did not dare to take over to relieve his daughter's worries."
"If it weren't for Cao Bin's proper disposal, I don't know how much money I would have lost."
Pan Renmei laughed embarrassedly, and quickly shook her head and persuaded:
"Niangniang, don't be confused, although Wang Yanling is overwhelming, Cao Bin is even more dangerous."
"Although Wang Yanling's prestige is high, he has no sword soldiers in his hands, if the situation is urgent, he can be taken down with just a team of soldiers with a holy decree."
"Cao Bin is different, he has a lot of prestige in the army, and a little negligence is a disaster that turns the world upside down, not to mention that Cao Bin is so young, you need to know that people's hearts are unpredictable."
Hearing this, He Jianzhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Empress Dowager Pan with some expectation.
But she hesitated for a moment, and said heavily:
"It's okay to cut its wings, but it's not okay to kill it!"
When He Jianzhang heard this, his disappointment was beyond words, and Pan Renmei also sighed and said:
"Cao Bin's strength is outstanding, his military might is unmatched, and his mother will regret it one day."
Empress Dowager Pan said unhappily:
"Does my father want to let this palace learn from Zhao Wangqian during the Warring States Period? Self-destruct the virtuous general, and then be taken captive by the Liao people to the enemy country? ”
Pan Renmei disagreed:
"The external enemy is easy to reconcile, but the internal strong is difficult to control."
"What about the greed of the Liao? Give them yes, no matter how bad the Great Song is, it is also the mother's Great Song. ”
"The thief is not......"
Empress Dowager Pan didn't want to listen anymore, so she waved her hand and said:
"Don't say anything more, just do what the palace says, and first expel Wang Yanling, the old thing, from the court......"
Seeing this, Pan Renmei could only nod and agree, He Jianzhang was about to follow him out of the palace, but suddenly heard Empress Dowager Pan ask coldly:
"He Jianzhang, you deliberately befriended the generals of the Imperial City Division, sent Gong Liangchen to the Imperial City Division, and took charge of the palace ban on the east side of the harem, what do you want to do?"
When He Jianzhang heard this, he was frightened, and thought that his conspiracy with Gong Liangchen had been exposed, and he was asking for mercy, but he heard Empress Dowager Pan say fiercely:
"If you dare to make your own decisions again, you will go to Qiongzhou to stay for the rest of your life!"
