Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Although the taste of this imperial meal was ordinary, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After eating, when Cao Bin was thinking about resigning, the emperor asked:

"Juncai, how is your qi training technique recovering?"

Cao Bin's "Qigong Master Experience Card" can only be used for two hours.

The last time I used it, I had no experience. It took me a quarter of an hour to use it, and now there are 5 minutes left.

Seeing the emperor's urgency, Cao Bin was a little speechless.

If he used it too frequently, his experience card might not last long.

But if you reduce the frequency, you can talk about it later, and now you have to give the emperor more sweetness.

So he nodded and said:

"The minister has recovered a bit, but the energy he has accumulated is a little scarce. Please forgive me."

The emperor suddenly showed excitement, nodded quickly and said:

"It's okay, it's okay, then...start now?"

This time Cao Bin tried his best to save money, and finally controlled the time of the experience card within 5 minutes.

He calculated carefully, if he gave the emperor Qi therapy once a month, his experience card would last at least one or two years.

It seems that he has to step up his qigong practice, so that he can have no scruples if he learns qigong by himself.

With the "Qigong Master Experience Card", it should not be too difficult to learn.

After Cao Bin stopped performing exercises, he did not end the experience card immediately, but made himself look pale and sweating profusely.

Seeing this, the emperor was a little embarrassed and said: "You have worked so hard, you are all right."

Cao Bin hurriedly stood up and said: "Thank you for your concern, I am fine with you."

The emperor quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop being so polite, you should take a rest first."

As he said that, he quickly asked the little eunuch to help Cao Bin to rest on the couch.

Seeing this, Concubine Pang also forgot that she had been demoted, and couldn't help complaining: "Official, how can you make Juncai so tired?"

The emperor didn't care, and said apologetically, "It's because I was too anxious."

Cao Bin waved his hands and said:

"Don't blame the officials, as long as the minister recovers in two or three months, there will be no problem."

Although the emperor felt a little regretful, he didn't say anything. Instead, he told Cao Bin to rest well.

At this time, his face was flushed, and he was still not satisfied, and he ordered: "Call the imperial doctor quickly, and give me a pulse."

The imperial doctor felt the emperor's pulse, and said strangely: "Guanjia, your Yuanyang is abundant now, and your body is getting healthier."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words, and even Cao Bin was a little surprised.

He just dredged the kidney meridian for the emperor's nourishment, but he didn't know if it was useful or not.

I never thought that this method really works.

As for whether he can have children, even the imperial physician is not sure.

The emperor was very happy to send away the imperial physician, his face was full of joy, and he even regarded Cao Bin as a life-saving straw.

Seeing Cao Bin's weak appearance, he quickly ordered: "Send the thousand-year-old ginseng donated by the Liao Kingdom to Juncai's residence."

As he spoke, he became more and more embarrassed, saying:

"Juncai, your title has been dragged down by those bastards, and it has dropped a lot, so I don't want to favor you."

"In a few days, the imperial court will recruit young men from around Bianjing to train new troops."

"You are also in charge of one, and I will personally bestow you with a title at the end of the year."

Hearing this, Cao Bin became a little enlightened.

The emperor's change of appearance should not only be due to his dissatisfaction with Kou Zhun and others, but may have other plans.

The Song Dynasty is now implementing a recruitment system, and there is no need to recruit young and strong at all.

After leaving the palace, Cao Bin was still thinking about it.

Now seventy-eight out of ten of the annual taxes of the Song Dynasty are paid to the military. If it is changed to the government soldiers, it will save a lot of money.

Since the military system needs to be changed, should the official system and finance be changed?

However, the emperor did not explain to him, and he did not intend to get involved in this matter.

After all, his official position is not high, and his reputation is not good. Even if he wants to participate, others may not necessarily take him.

Moreover, such things as reform have always touched the interests of some people, which is a very dangerous thing.

He didn't want to be mobbed.

As a general, there is no problem in training soldiers.

Just after walking out of the palace gate, a man dressed as a servant ran over and said:

"Uncle Cao, my family Zheng Guogong is here to invite you."

Cao Bin followed his fingers and saw that Pan Renmei was sitting in a carriage waving and smiling at him.

Just as he was about to step forward, Mrs. She walked over with Mu Guiying and Eighth Sister Yang, and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing wait a moment, I have a few words to say."

Cao Bin saluted respectfully: "What advice does the old matriarch have?"

Mrs. She sighed and said:

"A few days ago, I asked the Queen Mother to be a matchmaker, which was a bit abrupt."

"How about letting go of your marriage with my Eighth Sister?"

Cao Bin glanced at Eighth Sister Yang, saw that her eyes were full of resentment, but didn't care, nodded and said:

"Old Madam, you are too polite. You and I have not made an appointment at all, so there is no need to do so."

Then, he smiled and said:

"In a few days, Mr. Cao will marry the sister of the Pang family. If the old lady has spare time, you can come and sit down..."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands before following Pan Jiajia Ding to see Pan Renmei.

Bajie Yang looked at the back of him leaving altogether, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said:

"This bastard, who cares about him?"

"He belonged to the group of treacherous ministers. In order to help Pang Ji, he killed Prime Minister Kou."

"This is a small treacherous minister, and he will become a big treacherous minister in the future!"

Mu Guiying glanced at her and sighed:

"In the eyes of the officials, there are no loyal and treacherous ministers. This time, Prime Minister Kou has indeed gone too far."

"Even our family was kept in the dark by him..."

Seeing Cao Bin getting into Pan Renmei's carriage, Mrs. She sighed and said:

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's forget about it."

"After all, he has been engaged to the Pang family since he was a child. No matter how we try to win him over, it will be in vain."

"Be more careful in the future, if he seeks refuge with Pan Renmei... he may make things difficult for my Yang family."

"Now that the descendants of the Yang family are withered, we can't stand the torment. We can't repeat the lesson of Duke Ling."

Cao Bin walked to Pan Renmei's carriage and was about to salute when Pan Renmei poked her head out and said:

"Juncai doesn't need to be too polite, just get in the car and talk."

Cao Bin was not polite either, and got into the carriage directly, wanting to see what Pan Renmei had to say.

"Can Juncai know the next plan of the court?"

Cao Bin shook his head and said, "Cao doesn't know, what does Zheng Guogong mean?"

Pan Renmei said:

"Nowadays, the imperial court is poor and weak, full of ills, and the officials intend to reform the government."

"This is an excellent opportunity. If you can seize it, you will have a lot to do in the future."

Cao Bin laughed and said, "Could it be that Zheng Guogong intends to pull a certain Cao?"

Pan Renmei said: "The old man and your Cao family are also family friends. Now that Grand Master Pang has retired, the old man will take care of him."

As he spoke, he laughed and said:

"The imperial court intends to replace part of the forbidden army with government soldiers to reduce military expenditure."

"In the coming year, we may use this soldier to fight Xixia again."

"So the matter of military training is extremely important, and it is a great achievement. If you are talented, I can recommend one or two."

Then he laughed again:

"Also, Juncai's business is making a lot of money every day, and it is coveted. This old man can also escort Juncai..."

After Pan Renmei finished speaking, she still had sufficient confidence.

Now that grand master Pang has fallen, Cao Bin is alone and helpless in the court.

Regardless of their original faction or Cao Bin's current situation, he is the most suitable backer.

Pan Renmei has long been very greedy for the property in Cao Bin's hands.

In addition, Cao Bin has also accumulated some political resources in his hands, such as Da Song Daily, which is also very coveted.

If you draw him over, it will be very good for you.

Under such circumstances, he also did not believe that Cao Bin would refuse to be courted by him.

While Pan Renmei was waiting for Cao Bin's answer, an attendant suddenly reported outside the carriage door:

"My lord, some nobles in the palace want to see Uncle Cao."

Pan Renmei was taken aback for a moment, looked at Cao Bin suspiciously, and ordered:

"Let him come over."

The middle-aged eunuch saluted first, held a gift box over and said:

"Uncle Cao, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng king given to you by the government, please check it out."

Hearing this, Pan Renmei was startled. The thousand-year-old ginseng king already belongs to the category of treasures, known as fairy grass.

There may not necessarily be a second root in the emperor's inner library, which is kept for hanging.

On weekdays, even for such an important minister as himself, the emperor would not be willing to give it to him.

I didn't expect to give it directly to Cao Bin, which is too exaggerated!

Mad, why do you feel a little jealous in your heart?

As the emperor's father-in-law, I don't have this kind of treatment.

The eunuch handed the ginseng to Cao Bin and said with a smile:

"The government has sent a villain to be an envoy of Xiangfang to help uncle expand his perfume and soap business."

"And the government has already ordered the villain to listen to my uncle's advice in everything."

As he spoke, he looked at Pan Renmei again, cupped his hands and said:

"Zheng Guogong, please take care of the royal business in the future."

Pan Renmei was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then she couldn't help complaining to Cao Bin.

He didn't expect Cao Bin to move so fast, and in a blink of an eye, he had already cooperated with the emperor. In this way, he was planning a fart.

It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the battlefield, and no brothers in the money field.
