Chapter 536: Empress Dowager Pan's Surprise Youth Beauty Card
Hearing Cao Bin say that the fate of Western Xia was only in the palm of her hand, Empress Dowager Pan was shocked, her eyes showed excitement, and she asked with shortness of breath:
"You're saying that this palace can take back Western Xia?"
During the time of the first emperor, the Great Song Dynasty was defeated by Yuan Hao several times, and he could only watch the establishment of the Western Xia state and lose the five states.
Although no one in the court said it explicitly, people have their own evaluation in their hearts, Western Xia has become a disgrace to the Great Song Dynasty, if it can be taken back in their own hands, what kind of scene will it be?
At this time, the Empress Dowager Pan had fallen into a wonderful fantasy.
"Oh my God!"
Concubine Pang also heard what Cao Bin said, and her eyes were full of stars at this time.
Although she doesn't care much about state affairs, but the barbarism and strength of Western Xia, she has already heard the cocoon in her ears, whether it is the first emperor or the Manchu Dynasty, there is no way to do anything about Western Xia, and she has a headache when she hears Yuan Hao's name.
Unexpectedly, such problems have been solved by Cao Bin silently, what a great achievement?
If you can recover your homeland, it will be more important than expanding your territory.
At this time, Sai Xishi only had the words "strategizing" and "seeking the country nameless" in his mind, remembering Yan Chasan's comments that Cao Bin was a traitor, he only felt extremely ironic and disdainful, and was deeply glad for his choice.
Zhang Zhenniang didn't have any other ideas, there was only fanaticism in her eyes, and she said to Pang Yanyan with some excitement:
"Madam, if you hear it, I'll just say it, grandpa must be the true god and Buddha."
"You still don't let the concubine establish a religion and spread the ......"
Seeing her like this, Pang Yanyan showed a helpless wry smile, and hurriedly persuaded:
"Sister Zhenniang, don't mess around, my husband doesn't like these, be careful that he knows and punishes you."
Hearing Empress Dowager Pan's question, Cao Bin poured some cold water:
"It's not that easy, it will take at least a few years to get it done."
Empress Dowager Pan was not less interested, nodded again and again and said:
"Bengong is not a person who is in a hurry, and he also knows that big things must be done slowly, not to mention a few years, and ten years can afford to wait."
"As long as you can help the palace annex Western Xia before the emperor takes office, the palace will help you become the king."
"As for now, as long as Western Xia does not dare to invade, this palace will be content......"
The capital of the Western Xia Kingdom was too close to the Great Song Dynasty, in order to increase the strategic depth and plunder resources, after Yuan Hao established the country, he often invaded the Great Song Dynasty.
This is also the evil result of the loss of Hengshan, a "geopolitical important place in the northwest", without Hengshan, it is difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to establish an effective defense system.
Therefore, Cao Bin was extremely disgusted by Sima Guang's return of Hengshan territory.
Just like the role of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun on the Central Plains, without the Yanshan Mountain Range to block it, the Great Song Dynasty would have to increase its forces at least several times if it wanted to defend the Khitan.
The Great Song Dynasty was the first dynasty to be the most prosperous, but it was still poor and weak, and a large part of the reason was that it was dragged down by huge military spending.
Especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Hebei Forbidden Army was sparse for a long time, and its combat strength was lost, but the imperial court still paid a huge amount of military expenses and did not dare to cut it until it was wiped out......
Speaking of this, the little mustard in Empress Dowager Pan's heart disappeared, and she was more and more happy when she thought of Cao Bin being angry with Emperor Liao for herself.
was thinking about how to repay them, and when they saw that Pang Yanyan and the three of them were still in the hall, their hearts suddenly moved slightly, and they looked at them carefully, and said:
"Mrs. Pang, Cao Qing can contribute to the country with peace of mind, and your relatives also have merit, and Mrs. Weiguo is specially given the right to enter and leave the palace, and she can visit Concubine Pang at any time."
As she spoke, she said to Sai Xi Shi and Zhang Zhenniang:
"I will entitle you and the other two as seven pleasant products."
Looking at Pang Yanyan, Empress Dowager Pan showed a somewhat arrogant smile, as if she was showing off, and she was quite superior in her heart.
What about his wife? But it also depends on the gift of this palace.
Pang Yanyan didn't know the Empress Dowager Pan's thoughts, and she didn't even dare to look up to observe her expression, but only hurriedly thanked the second daughter of Saizhang, which made the Empress Dowager Pan feel a little punched.
The wife and concubine of the Cao family, Pang Yanyan was named the lady of Yipinguo not long after Cao Bin was promoted to the knighthood, and Du Shi Niang and Li Shi also had a fate.
Sai Xi Shi and Zhang Zhenniang thought that they would have to wait for a long time, and the next one might not necessarily be their turn.
Unexpectedly, after only one trip to the palace, there were all of them, and the surprise came too suddenly, and they were a little excited to know what to do.
Ordinary officials and wives of the main family may not have the opportunity to be ordained.
This is also the ultimate pursuit of most women in previous dynasties, the body is equivalent to a woman's title, not to mention the court's offerings, but also qualified to participate in the palace banquet, even if the royal law is violated, the local government has no right to interrogate without authorization.
When Concubine Pang saw that the three daughters had finished thanking her, a smile appeared on her meaningful jade face and said a blessing:
"The concubine has set up a banquet for Duke Wei and Yanyan, and the Queen Mother is willing to appreciate her face......"
After the palace banquet, accompanied by Concubine Pang herself, Cao Bin took Pang Yanyan's three daughters to visit the palace before preparing to board the car and return home.
At this time, Concubine Pang showed a vague look:
"Juncai, wait a while, the Queen Mother seems to have something important to discuss with you."
Seeing her behaving like this, Cao Bin immediately understood what she meant, so he had to turn around and tell Pang Yanyan and the three daughters:
"You go back to the house first, the Queen Mother may have something important to tell me to do, I'm afraid my husband won't be able to go home tonight, you don't have to wait for me."
Pang Yanyan nodded, hesitated, and held Cao Bin's hand tightly and said softly:
"In front of the Queen Mother, my husband has changed his temper, I'm worried about my husband's ......"
Sai Xishi saw that Cao Bin was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Pan today, and he had to work for the country at night, so he didn't even have time to go home.
Such a fun-loving person, but she has to endure such suffering, her eyes are full of distress, she tidied up her official uniform for Cao Bin, and couldn't help but ask:
"What Sister Pang said is, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and since ancient times, kings have been the most ruthless."
"Cao Lang is dedicated to the country, but he also has to think more about himself, and it's not interesting to be a loyal minister......"
Hearing the second daughter's entrustment, Cao Bin sweated for a moment, and had to pat his chest and proudly comfort:
"Don't worry, rest assured, you can save these for your husband, when it comes to slapping horses, no one can compare to being a husband, I must be comfortable for the Queen Mother."
When Pang Yanyan heard this, she immediately burst into tears and laughed, and said angrily:
"Husband is talking nonsense again......"
Sending the three girls home, Concubine Pang was already excited, hugged Cao Bin's arm and said viciously:
"Juncai, you haven't been in the palace for a few days, but today you have to do some death to teach the person surnamed Pan a lesson, and avenge my sister's fright."
"You must get her to obey, otherwise she will dare to play tricks in the future."
Cao Bin glanced at her suspiciously, is a Empress Dowager Pan worthy of attention? Don't talk about one Empress Dowager Pan, even if there are a few more, he has no pressure.
Don't look at the Empress Dowager Pan's fun-loving nature, she is actually a rookie, her combat effectiveness is about the same as Pang Yanyan, and Pang Yanyan is different, she is equivalent to two and a half Empress Dowager Pan.
However, Empress Dowager Pan should indeed teach a lesson.
Thinking like this, Cao Bin didn't care too much, spent a little bit of points, exchanged a few chocolate beans from the Time and Space Mall, picked one up and handed it to Concubine Pang and said:
"Sister Yanyan, I got a few elixirs to restore youth......"
Because of his revenge on Emperor Liao, he obtained three "youth beauty cards", and according to the introduction, he could make the appearance of adult women at least ten years younger, and he planned to distribute them according to age first.
After all, the needs of the older ones are more urgent, and the younger ones are not in a hurry, and they will always get ......
