Chapter 497: On the way back to Beijing, the death of the Marquis of Yangzhou

"Niangniang, the young master has come to save you."

Hearing Xiao Tao's voice, Empress Dowager Pan suddenly became excited, opened her eyes, and said in disbelief:

"Who? Gong Liangchen? ”

Xiao Tao nodded happily, holding a food box and said:

"It's him, he pretended to be an attendant, said that he had something important to discuss with you, and brought something to eat, let him in?"

Empress Dowager Pan's eyes condensed and said:

"He wasn't caught? What's more, he is just a powerless scholar, how can he enter this palace? ”

Xiao Tao said busily:

"There was a hero who saved him, and there was also Xiao Jiang who helped him enter the palace."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Pan was still puzzled, Xiao Tao hurriedly said:

"Niangniang forgot, when Xiao Jiang was rude in front of the Queen Mother, it was you who interceded with him to save his life,"

At this time, Empress Dowager Pan's eyes were unusually bright, and she shook her head after a long silence:

"No, send him away."

Xiao Tao nodded, looked at the food box and said:

"What about these foods......"

Empress Dowager Pan swallowed her saliva and said:

"Put it there for now, and then talk about it when you can't hold on anymore!"

Xiao Tao went out for a while before returning:

"Mother, he's gone."

"He said that he would come again, and if Niangniang had something urgent to do, he would inform him through Xiao Jiang's ban......"

Just when Empress Dowager Pan was looking forward to Cao Bin's return to Beijing as soon as possible, in fact, he had already been found in Yancheng by the old Taishan Pang Ji and urged to quietly set off by land.

Now it has passed Yingzhou, and it is only three or five days away from Bianjing.

The officials and salt merchants in Huaidong were cleaned up by him, and they arrested the Marquis of Yangzhou, and there was no resistance.

Coupled with the perfect system, there is no need for him to sit in charge in person, and slowly wait for the salt farms to be completely completed, leaving only Xia Laodao, Yang Zhi and others to keep an eye on it.

In addition, because Yang Bajie was pregnant and couldn't bump, she didn't go back to Beijing with him for the time being.

In the evening, Cao Bin had just checked into Yan Qing's manor to take care of the rich first, and all kinds of "swallow spies" flocked to him.

Pang Ji looked at the news from the capital, and shook his head at Cao Bin, who was enjoying the massage, and said:

"Liu and Wang, these two old people are really greedy enough, Wang Yanling not only personally took over the Great Song Bank, but also planted many hands in Jiangnan Zhuzhou, the place where Juncai is your foundation."

"If you delay for a few more days, I'm afraid that even Di Qing will be taken down by them, and there will be no place for you when the time comes......"

Saying that, he was a little embarrassed:

"And the will in the hands of the old lady is really a bit difficult to do, even if it is fake, you have no legitimate reason to make trouble."

Cao Bin smiled:

"Uncle Yue doesn't have to worry, isn't it just a fake holy decree, I'll write him a hundred at will."

In his early years as an envoy to Western Xia, he was proficient in calligraphy from various countries, and as long as the materials were complete, it was easy to imitate the holy decrees of the first emperor.

And neither he nor Pang Ji thought that Wang Yanling's will was true.

If you want to say that the will is also left to the Empress Dowager Pan, the Empress Dowager Liu has a criminal record, and the first emperor was very jealous of her, so how could she let her be in charge of the country?

The first emperor has to do the first thing to keep the throne of his own blood and blood, as for the usurpation of the Pan family, that is a later story, and it is already well thought that he can leave enough checks and balances.

He is not a god, nor is he arrogant, a person who thinks he is like a god, and he will never draw a snake to add to it, leaving Wang Yanling with a double-edged sword that hurts others and hurts himself.

Cao Bin is not surprised why the ministers do not question the truth of Wang Yanling's will, the situation is stronger than people, and it is one thing not to dare or question not moving, and some people will consider the so-called overall situation, and there is no shortage of its success.

Pang Ji looked at Cao Bin in surprise, a little speechless, but he also had to admit that Cao Bin always had some crooked ideas with excellent results.

Thinking about the scene of the will everywhere in the capital, he couldn't help but sweat a little, the Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as a historical precedent......

As he was talking, a "swallow" from the north came in to report:

"Master Hou, the swallow next to Princess Chang of Liao Guochang has sent news that the princess plans to go south to join Lord Hou, please allow Master Hou."

Cao Bin nodded, waved his hand and said:

"Let Shi Qian take people to the capital of Liao and plan this matter personally."

"In addition, let people send 3,000 crossbows to Qingtang Dong Yu, order the chambers of commerce in Jianghuai and Shaanxi to withdraw from the Song and Xia mutual markets, order the seed master to perform in Hengshan, and then let Yanzi send a map of Xingqing Mansion to the Empress Dowager of Western Xia."

Seeing this, Pang Ji shook his head slightly:

"Disaster is just a princess of different races, why bother with all this effort, I am afraid that I will offend Emperor Liao."

Hu Sanniang, who rubbed Cao Bin's shoulders, couldn't help nodding slightly, and she also agreed with Pang Ji's idea in her heart, she was also a little unhappy with those foreign women, but she heard Cao Bin smile and smile:

"My cheap mother-in-law of the Liao Kingdom has been too honest recently, and this time I happened to give her some eye medicine in front of Emperor Liao, so that she could understand that power is still in her own hands......"

Pang Ji couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, it's really a little unlucky to be your mother-in-law, but fortunately, that woman is not his wife.

At this time, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside, and the shout of Yangzhou Hou came from the courtyard next to him:

"Marquis Zhongjing, I want to see Marquis Zhongjing, I have something to say to him."

At the same time, the sedan chair also shouted:

"How do you look at people, quickly shut him up, make a noise to the young master, I will screw your heads off."

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, and casually ordered:

"Bring him here, Ben Hou wants to hear what he thinks."

After a while, Yangzhou Hou was escorted to the room, this person was a little arrogant, although he was unkempt, his waist was straight, and he looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Master Cao, now that there are great changes in Beijing, I have many friends in the DPRK and China, and I can help you."

"Why don't you let Ben Hou go, you and I will cooperate, set things right, and take charge of the court?"

Cao Bin glanced at him, took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"That's it? Anything else? ”

Seeing that he was stunned in the room, and did not ease his senses for a while, Cao Bin waved his hand and said:

"If you don't call me, I forgot about you, pull it out and cut it, so as to save a lot of trouble."

When Yangzhou Hou heard this, he was dumbfounded, and struggled frantically in disbelief:

"Cao Bin, you dare, I have a Danshu iron coupon, I am a hereditary replacement, you can't kill me......"

At this time, he could no longer maintain his bones, and his feces and urine flowed all the way, and tears flew everywhere.

When Cao Bin heard this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Even the imperial master was killed in the palace, what kind of little Karami are you? Since they don't talk about the rules, why should Ben Hou be restrained? Whoever wants to scold Ben Hou must first scold Wang Yanling and the old queen mother. ”

As the saying goes, Eli fellows with profit, and profit is scattered.

It must be profitable to maintain a group, but the core members cannot simply intersect with each other, and what the Hou of Yangzhou is trying to win over is just some grass on the wall.

Now that he has lost power, he has long lost any use value, and people can't wait to draw a line with him, and Cao Bin doesn't look down on those wall grasses......
