Chapter 506: Empress Dowager Pan's thoughts Li Qingzhao's loneliness
"Jin Zhongjing Marquis Cao Bin is the Duke of Weiguo, awarded the military department Shangshu, Pingzhang military affairs, and the scholar of Zhaowenguan University......"
After listening to the holy decree, Cao Bin had not yet said anything, but the hall suddenly "buzzed" and discussed.
Unlike Wang Anshi, Zhang Dian and others, who were secretly excited, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty was expected to innovate, many people were worried and ready to move.
No one expected that Empress Dowager Pan's return to Cao Bin would be so heavy.
In addition to the civil and military dismissal and ranks, Cao Bin can be said to have reached the top in one step, and his power leans towards the government and the opposition.
The title and the official Jilu official are just gone, but since the founding of the country, except for Wang Yanling, who was a coup d'état, he has never been actually sent to the prime minister.
But how old Cao Bin is, serving as the first assistant is already a bit unusual, coupled with this right, within a few years, he will become a powerful minister like Huo Guang and Dong Zhuo, and he will have a monopoly on power.
Thinking of this, "some people" couldn't help but get up and question, but they were afraid that the Liaoxia envoy was still in the palace, so they temporarily endured it.
As the saying goes, "family disputes can't be noisy", if Liaoxia sees an opportunity, it will be bad to conspire again, and let the other party see the joke.
Seeing that the eunuch sent the holy decree to Cao Bin, Concubine Pang was not happy, but was a little apologetic and regretful, and her eyes were a little cold when she looked at Empress Dowager Pan.
Before the coup d'état, when she went to visit Empress Dowager Pan, what she promised was "Pingzhang Military and State Affairs", entrusting Cao Bin with all the affairs of the court. Now that there is an additional word "heavy", the power and influence will obviously be reduced a lot.
In other words, in addition to the six departments and twenty-four divisions of the political affairs hall, Cao Bin has no power to meddle in the "day-to-day" affairs of other departments such as the Privy Council and the three divisions.
She gritted her silver teeth and was about to speak, but she saw Cao Bin shaking her head slightly below, so she secretly calmed down, but she seemed to think of something, and her eyes showed determination......
In fact, Cao Bin did not have the luxury of expecting Empress Dowager Pan to fully fulfill her promise.
Not to mention whether she will trust herself unreservedly, even if she does, the ministers will fiercely oppose it.
That position is to seek to usurp the throne.
Although Cao Bin has some prestige in the court, after all, he is from a martial arts background, and he is extremely young, and he is far from the point of responding to a hundred calls.
Moreover, now his main goal is only to drive away resistance, reform the malpractice and establish a new one, at least to ensure that the Great Song Dynasty will not be taken down by Liaojin in the future and take away his wealth and wealth, and the "Pingzhang Military Affairs" is enough.
No matter how high the position is, it is easy to fall into the struggle with those "loyal ministers", "direct ministers" and "good ministers".
Not to mention being scolded, he didn't bother to waste so much energy.
It is not easy to spare so much time to fight for the country, and it is not easy to leave some time to enjoy wealth and nobility, isn't it fragrant to sleep with a woman?
So he took the holy decree very happily, what can the ministers question, Pingzhang is just a military matter, Wang Yanling can sit down, he can't sit down?
With a precedent, those doubts are nothing, and he has to thank Wang Yanling for setting a good example for him.
"Congratulations to Pan Niangniang and Grandpa Cao, I wish the Great Song Dynasty a great exhibition, and Grandpa Cao has a long journey!"
Before the ministers could react, Brother Wei had already congratulated him in time, so everyone had to toast together.
At this time, the eunuch who sent the decree laughed twice and said:
"Slow down, the mother still has a will."
"Mingzhou sentenced Li Gongliang to be outstanding in talent, honest and honest, and was embarrassed because of Wang's pollution...... Specially awarded the same Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, supervised the revision of the history of the country, and ordered Keri to return to Beijing to be ordered! ”
Li Gongliang was originally a member of Pan Renmei's lineage, but after Empress Dowager Liu and Wang Yanling took charge of the dynasty, he was demoted to the general judgment of Mingzhou, and now he may not have arrived in office, and he was appointed as the second minister.
I'm afraid this guy is going crazy!
The second prime minister exercises the power of the prime minister on weekdays, but after the prime minister, he can sit in office with the prime minister in turn.
Hearing this will, the minister, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly relaxed, and Cao Bin also knew that Empress Dowager Pan had the idea of decentralization, and he had expected it, but he didn't care.
A second phase can't become an obstacle to him.
Cao Bin focused on the arrangement of Wang Anshi, as long as he left a position with enough weight for the other party, and then had his support, the plan could go smoothly.
There are usually three prime ministers, but most of the time there are only two, sometimes one.
Since Empress Dowager Pan can appoint the second minister to divide power, Cao Bin can also fight for Wang Anshi for the post of prime minister.
At the same time, he also understood that Empress Dowager Pan moved the decree in front of the Liaoxia envoys, probably in order to hinder the ministers from opposing to a certain extent......
The state banquet is over, and it is already afternoon.
Coming out of the vertical arch hall, Cao Bin became more hot, and many officials were surrounded along the way, and some people were eager to carry him back to their homes for the New Year.
This made Zhang Dian, who was originally by Cao Bin's side, a little helpless, and he was squeezed out without paying attention, and he didn't have a chance to say something private.
However, those people do have something to talk about, and apart from congratulating Cao Bin on his first rise to power, they have never seen such a tough negotiation.
The important thing is that the Liaoxia envoy also bowed his head and became honest, which made some officials who had not been in the office long feel greatly boosted, only feeling that this is the style of the kingdom, and their hearts are surging.
Cao Bin didn't care, and only said to Zhang Dan:
"Zihou can come to Benhou's mansion tomorrow to talk......"
Saying that, regardless of everyone's envy and jealousy of Zhang Dan, he walked straight to the outside of the imperial city.
Many times, being touted is also a pleasure, and Cao Bin likes it very much anyway.
People provide emotional value, so he will often give face, so that officials who like to pat horses are like a spring breeze.
Looking at Cao Bin's high-spirited appearance, Kou Zhun, who was left behind, said a little sourly:
"The old man looks down on the person who sucks the whiskers the most, Cao Bin is still young, I hope he won't be carried away by these villains, and he will make a big mistake when the time comes!"
He is a model of first pass and then poor, in his early years, he was highly valued by Taizong, and he also served as the prime minister when he was the first emperor, but before he could do anything, he was demoted.
The first emperor didn't like him in the later period, the empress dowager was tired of him, and the empress dowager Pan had an enmity with him, and almost everyone hated him.
Now, let alone showing his chest to repay his losses, he can keep his official position and have the opportunity to admonish Amitabha Buddha for the imperial court, so it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable when he sees Cao Bin like this.
Bao Zheng beside him groaned for a while, stroked his beard and shook his head:
"Master Kou is too worried, thinking about Bao, Cao Bin is not so superficial."
"Judging from his past behavior and measures to deal with Liaoxia, I am afraid that he is more pragmatic and profitable than Lord Kou, and he is up to the task now!"
When Kou Zhun heard this, he was speechless, if he wants to be pragmatic and avoid hypocrisy, he is indeed inferior to Cao Bin, at least he still wants to save face.
It's just that Bao Zheng is too inconsolable, so he has to rub salt on the wound......
For the imperial court, the practical dispatch of "Pingzhang Military Affairs" is more important, but for the old housekeeper Fu Bo, the significance of Cao Bin's promotion to the prince of the country is even more significant.
This is a title that can be passed down to future generations.
Therefore, there will be no shortage of opening ancestral halls, comforting ancestors, inviting relatives and friends, and celebrating with colleagues and subordinates.
Li Qingzhao was also invited, but she did not go to the banquet and tasted wine at home alone.
It's not that as a female dependent, it is not appropriate to go, and the Weiguo Mansion will arrange it properly.
It's just that after she was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager, she felt that she had no face to show up, so she didn't want to join in the fun.
At this time, her state of mind is quite complicated, prosperity and glory belong to others, but she is alone and lonely, there is nothing, but she understands.
Empress Dowager Pan united with Cao Bin in a coup d'état to coerce the Empress Dowager to step down, and she would definitely not be reprimanded for overthrowing the Empress Dowager for such a female official, and it is not worth it.
Just thinking about it, the stepmother suddenly stumbled through the door and broke in, her face was so excited that she didn't know what to do:
"There is a will, Qingzhao, there is a will in the palace, for you, go and meet ......"
