If there is no mole to respond, it would be difficult for so many Liao people to sneak into the Great Song Dynasty without being discovered, and even if they can be broken into pieces, it is unlikely that they will bring so many contraband.

Bows are good to say, crossbows are similar to the guns of later generations, and they are strictly forbidden to be made and possessed by the people.

Hearing Mu Guiying's words, the cold on Empress Dowager Pan's face was even heavier:

"First check the Ordnance Division, and then check the border passes, this palace wants to see who dares to commit treason and collaborate with the enemy and collude with the Liao."

The assassination just now frightened her so much that she still has lingering palpitations and hatred for traitors even more.

At this time, she was not in the mood to stay outside the palace, glanced at Cao Bin with a little regret, and waved her hand:

"Let's drive back to the palace."

There are masters of the Imperial City Division and the Weiguo Mansion to escort them, and there will be no waves in the itinerary after that.

Back on the boat, the more Empress Dowager Pan thought about it, the more angry she became, and after settling down a little, she couldn't wait to call Cao Bin over:

"Juncai, Emperor Liao is too rampant, not only sent assassins to do this, but also uttered wild words without concealing it."

"Is he sure that this palace will not dare to fight back? If I pretend to be nothing, won't I be even more despised by the Liao State and ridiculed by the world? ”

As she spoke, she looked at Cao Bin seriously and said:

"Juncai, do you have a plan to fight back against Emperor Liao?"

In fact, since the last battle of Song and Liao, Emperor Liao has always wanted to fight for the defeat of Yixue, but in addition to being a little jealous of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, more importantly, Empress Dowager Xiao's suppression and prevention could not make the Liao State form a unified opinion.

Therefore, in recent years, he has also been purging the rule of officials, conquering the east and west, annexing the grassland tribes and the surrounding small countries, wanting to accumulate strength and find an opportunity to defeat the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Goryeo is an example, due to the attack of Yelu Longxu and the coldness of the Great Song court in the previous years, Goryeo has cut off its tribute to the Great Song Dynasty and replaced it with the Liao State as its suzerain, reducing the worries of the Liao State in the rear.

Now Yelu Longxu blatantly provoked the Great Song Dynasty, and it did not stimulate the Great Song Dynasty to take the initiative to go on the Northern Expedition, leaving the Empress Dowager Xiao with nothing to say.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Pan was angry, Cao Bin laughed indifferently:

"Niangniang doesn't need to be entangled, the minister has endured Yelu Longxu for a long time, and I want to teach him a lesson."

"This person is the most untrustworthy, as if I was defeated by the Great Song Dynasty last time, and he is indeed a little rampant."

"And those officials of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, they are also a little softer."

"The minister thinks that in the future, my Great Song Dynasty will implement the 'principle of reciprocity and intersection', and tell the surrounding countries!"

When Empress Dowager Pan heard this, she hurriedly put down the tea bowl and asked:

"What is Peer Fellowship?"

Cao Bin laughed twice and explained seriously:

"How the Liao State treats my Great Song Dynasty, how my Great Song Dynasty treats the Liao Kingdom."

"For example, in this assassination, since Emperor Liao dares to send assassins to do dark ghost things, then don't blame us for using the same means to return the favor."

The Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers generally had a fear of Liao, and it has lasted for decades, forming a habit, and he proposed this policy to reverse this habit.

Empress Dowager Pan lowered her head and groaned for a while, and said with some worry:

"I'm so afraid of war!"

Cao Bin understood what she meant, she didn't want to risk a war with the Liao State, and she didn't want to lose face, so people thought that she was afraid of the Liao State, so she smiled:

"Niangniang don't worry, this is the purpose of the minister's 'reciprocal fellowship' to the countries."

"In this way, it is to let the people of the world understand that the war between the two sides is also the fault of the Liao State."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Pan glared at herself, Cao Bin continued:

"But we haven't prepared enough, so in order to prevent him from jumping over the wall and really starting a war, we don't have to use our own people to shoot, which is also a waste of talent."

As he spoke, he looked rich and said:

"If we have money, we can quietly send someone to Liao State, reward Yelu Longxu's bastard head, and slap him in the face."

"No matter how bad it is, you can also reward the Khitan princess, hehe...... Look at him, Yelu Longxu can bear it. ”

"When the time comes, maybe there will be Liao ministers who can't resist the temptation and quietly do a deal without capital."

Emperor Liao is not without masters around him, and there are many palace guards to defend him, and sending people to assassinate him is mostly to give him a head and add a little disgust to him, which is not cost-effective.

But the Great Song Dynasty is rich, and taking a fraction of it out is an astronomical amount that surprises the Liao people.

Whether it is the rivers and lakes of Liao, or the ministers of Liao, as long as someone is tempted, they can block Emperor Liao.

If the operation is skillful, maybe you don't even have to pay the money, and you will prostitute yourself in vain......

Hearing Cao Bin's words, Empress Dowager Pan blinked suspiciously, looked at him and said:

"You can't be pretending to be a public servant, are you?"

Saying this, she became more and more determined, stared at Cao Bin fiercely and said:

"Don't think that this palace doesn't know, you have a lot to do with a Liao princess surnamed Chang, that is the granddaughter of Empress Dowager Xiao, right?"

"You want to use the excuse of revenge on Emperor Liao to spend the money of the imperial court and rob yourself of a woman!"

"This palace can warn you, if you delay a big event because of a barbarian woman's idea, don't blame me for not showing you mercy in front of the ministers."

Cao Bin was stunned, he didn't expect Empress Dowager Pan to be so sensitive, and he instantly guessed his thoughts.

It's just that he has already brought Chang Qinglian back from Liao, and this time he just wants to fish in troubled waters and give her a clear way, lest she can only hide in the outer house, which is not very convenient to go out openly.

So he laughed twice:

"It's true that there are some selfish intentions, but it's mainly for the sake of the mother and the plan for the court."

Hearing that he seemed to be telling the truth, Empress Dowager Pan snorted lightly with some displeasure, took a sip of tea and said:

"It doesn't matter how many women you have in this palace, but you can't indulge in red faces and troubles and delay national affairs, otherwise I will not spare you."

After speaking, she eased her spirit and hesitated:

"Are you sure that Emperor Liao will not be annoyed and angry, and attack on a large scale?"

Cao Bin put on a heartless look and said:

"Why should the mother be vain? My big Song Dynasty is not an idle small country! ”

"If he really wants to go to war, then it's better to go to war, if we can defeat him once, we can defeat him twice."

Empress Dowager Pan pondered for a long time before waving her hand and said:

"Forget it, I'll think about it again."

Although Cao Bin is very confident, he has always been bold and never considers the consequences of defeat, and Empress Dowager Pan always feels a little unreliable.

What's more, there are many forces in the government and the opposition that secretly oppose the new law, and there is no internal stability......

Seeing that Empress Dowager Pan hesitated, Cao Bin didn't care, it was just an assassination, and he didn't care too much.

If there is a chance now, it is natural that revenge will not be overnight, and if there is no opportunity, it will not be too late to crush it with strength after the new law is completely mature.

The royal boat traveled overnight and returned to Bianjing early the next morning.

The matter of Weifu's private interview also spread, not to mention the show-off of the people of Yongqiu and their gratitude to Empress Dowager Pan's tax exemption, nor the reaction to the "Cao Bin scandal" addicted old man.

After returning to the palace, Cao Bin was impeached.

It's just that this time he is not alone, Wen Yanbo, Li Gongliang, She Taijun and others have not escaped......
