Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 463 Cao Bin Compromises
After that Quan Wu Xing, the conflict between Sun Chunming and Cao Bin finally began to become public. Unless it was an occasion where they had to meet, such as a court meeting, the two would never see each other.

As for the two women, Fu Shi and Cao Shi, although they still managed to maintain their sister relationship, they met each other very infrequently, which meant that they had a superficial relationship. She opened a Jinshi antique shop, because she has a high vision, has a lot of stock and is very good, and the price is extremely fair, and it suddenly became the best antique shop in Luoyang. Checking the accounts in the store, it looks like something for officials and wives to play with, and Mrs. Cao has always liked these things, so every ten and a half months, I will always go there once to buy some gadgets or something.

After all, there is no such thing as Zhongtong Juntong No. 76 these days. It is difficult for even interested people to detect such a connection method. Even if they are aware of it, it seems to be useless.

In fact, to be honest, the two of them have done things like this for a while. After all, what is important these days is that gentlemen are harmonious but different, and the separation of political differences and personal relationships is clearer. That needle-like mind may not have the power to kill, but after all, Sun Chunming and Cao Bin are the kind of relatively cautious and conservative politicians who insist on being careful, so the two have become more and more sympathetic to each other. I also feel that the other party can be trusted more and more.

About half a month later, the two of them had almost tested each other, and they both felt that they could cooperate further, so on a sunny morning, Cao sold a fake painting of Tang Dynasty, which was imitated by Gu Kaizhi.

This thing can't be called an authentic work, but it is also an ancient painting of the Tang Dynasty. It can't be called a fake, and it is still worth a little money.Fu took a small knife and cut the painting in two, and found a letter in it. Because Jin Dynasty paintings are made of yellow and thick paper, it is not afraid of being found if the letter is sandwiched in the middle.

Naturally, Mrs. Fu also knew that the matter was of great importance. After quickly seeing that the letter was not written by Mrs. Cao, she thought to herself that it might be Cao Bin's personal letter, so she quickly forwarded the letter to Sun Chunming.

Sun Chunming never doubted Fu's reliability, so he dismantled it in front of her, and motioned her to read it together. After reading it in a hurry, Sun Chunming sighed in relief: " Cao Bin is such a stable person, finally he can't sit still, he must admit defeat first."

Fu Shi was at a loss, because in her opinion, this letter simply explained that his military reform was about to enter a substantive action, and attached all the detailed plans, which in her opinion It's all completely unnecessary to say so.

Besides, aren't they called political enemies, but actually confidants?Where does the word admit defeat come from?

When Fu asked his doubts, Sun Chunming did not hide his doubts, and explained: "What you said about my relationship with Cao Bin is actually wrong. We are not superficial political enemies, but real. The current political opponents, the contradiction between the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council is real, even if the two prime ministers are changed, there will be no difference. It should be said that we are both political enemies and confidants."

"Of course, the competition between us, of course, is not just for the obvious contradictions between the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, it is all official business that can be said on the surface, and it doesn't matter whether these things are done well or not. In the final analysis, it is actually the final manifestation of the power struggle. When Zhao Pu was this official, why didn't there be any conflicts between the Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall?"

"Then what do you mean by admitting defeat?"

"It's a little game of patience between me and him. Ma'am, the so-called high places are too cold. To be an official to the level of me and Cao Bin is already at the top, especially today's officials lack prestige and are young and shallow. , Coupled with this unprecedented 70-year chaos, the two of us have actually had to become powerful ministers. Respectful, you are actually ambitious, walking on thin ice!"

Fu Shi nodded, expressing her understanding, but she still didn't understand what this had to do with today's letter.

"The pressure of walking on thin ice is mainly due to the fear of the new official family. The new official family is not a faint king. Now King Yan is becoming more and more unambitious. Cao Bin's deterrent effect is getting less and less. I, too, have changed from attracting to jealousy. In other words, the two of us are the two mountains that he must move down. Cao Bin and I are more patient. These days of walking on thin ice, or in other words, are comparing their confidence and courage."

"Ordinarily, the officials are far more afraid of me than Cao Bin, because after all, I have the best son in the world, but because of this, even if he wants to touch me, he won't have the courage for a while, and I Not being in charge of soldiers is not an urgent matter for him."

"Cao Bin is different. In the final analysis, he is not a pure martial artist. He did not fight with swords and guns. Like the previous Yue'er, he does not have a real direct army. His qualifications are slightly worse than Cui Yanjin's. , although the credit is great, but in the end there are still some falsehoods, and the control over the soldiers and horses in the capital is far from being solid. The kindness he received during the two years in the Military Commission is actually nothing compared to Yue'er. Therefore, Cao Bin's foundation is actually not stable."

"In order to contain me, he was much safer than me, but these days I have shown tolerance and restraint everywhere, so that up to now, all the officials and common people feel that he is fighting against me, and If you have the upper hand, then tell me, who is the official more afraid of now? At this time, Cao Bin has an abyss under his feet. It seems to be beautiful, but if he is a little careless, he will be doomed."

"But Cao Bin himself is not confused. He knows his hypocrisy, and knows that his life, big and small, is in my hands. Is he just a politician, and he is a minister at any rate. You still want to waste your courage with me, I have my son to support me, will I be afraid of him?"

"No, now Cao Bin can't sit still, he wants to pass the military reform, firmly grasp the general power in his hands, and lay a solid foundation, but he knows that Yueer's prestige among the Luoyang Forbidden Army is extremely high, and the Luoyang factory matter I can't do it without me, so he is handing over the plan to me now, which means sticking out his neck and admitting that I will be stabbed. This is waiting for me to change it. On the contrary, it's all acting, maybe there will be another martial arts show."

Upon hearing the words, Fu Shi sighed: "Cao Bin, a well-known gentleman who never abandons official business because of selfishness, and now...has it become like this?"

Sun Chunming thought for a while, and seemed to be quite moved: "Who was not naked when he came here, and who was not loyal when he became an official? We are all forced, and we all want to serve the country well, but The conditions are not allowed, who will let the Taizu collapse early?"
