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

I almost annoyed the emperor because of this... It's really a bit muddy and can't support the wall.

On the fifth day of March, the imperial court invented the decree.

Cao Bin was appointed as the observation envoy of the Liangzhe Road, temporarily in charge of the military affairs, finances, and folk customs of the Liangzhe Road, and in charge of the military affairs of the Jiangnan roads, and Jiangnan was shaken.

Wu Song and Lu Zhishen began to help Lu Junyi fight for power in Hangzhou in the name of Cao Bin.

On March [-]th, more than a dozen Jiangnan officials, including Runzhou Zhizhou, sent people to Beijing to offer bribes, and Cao Bin accepted it frankly.

On the evening of the [-]th, Bao Zheng visited Zhongjinghou's mansion alone, but failed to persuade Cao Bin.

At the court meeting on the [-]th, Bao Zheng impeached Cao Bin for accepting bribes, and suggested that he should be dismissed and dispatched to the south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor was furious, thinking that Bao Zheng had no evidence, slandered the courtiers, took away his position as governor, and demoted Hangzhou Tongjuan.

Dismissed from the position of Wang Yanling's first assistant, he served as Shangshu Zuocheng, and ordered Pan Renmei to know the Privy Council and lead Shangshu Youcheng, and to be in charge of the political affairs hall with Wang Yanling.

From then on, there was no chief assistant in the court, and the emperor's ears became much quieter.

At the same time, Pan Renmei was re-appointed as a grand master, and for a while, she had the power to pour over the government and the public...

On the 23rd, Cao Bin entered the palace to give his majesty speech, presented six heart-protecting and life-saving pills, and was awarded a "Imperial Sword".

In order to prevent the emperor from dying suddenly, he directly used up the dandy points before he got twelve life-saving pills.

As long as the emperor is not exhausted, these six pills are enough to guarantee his life.

In the early morning of the 24th, shortly after the city gate of Bianjing opened, the convoy from the Zhongjing Hou Mansion had already set off.

Just as he was directing the convoy out of the city, Bao Zheng also rode a donkey and came over with a few followers.

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"Haha, I didn't expect Master Bao to go to Jiangnan today, why didn't he bring three imperial guillotines with him?"

At this time, Bao Zheng was depressed and didn't want to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, I just impeached Cao Bin casually, which made the emperor furious, and was directly demoted to Hangzhou, and even caused the teacher to lose the position of chief assistant.

"Cao Bin, tell the truth, do you have other plans with the officials?"

After being silent for a long while, Bao Zheng finally couldn't help asking.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Given the wealth of the Zhongjinghou Mansion, how could Cao Bin easily accept bribes from Jiangnan officials?

I'm afraid I was cheated by Cao Bin and the emperor, the purpose is to send myself out of Beijing, so as not to be an eyesore in front of the emperor.

Cao Bin said noncommittally:

"My people are almost done, Mr. Bao should go out of the city first."

Different from Bao Zheng's simplicity, Cao Bin brought his entire family with him this time, leaving only a small number of servants to look after the house.

The entire convoy spread hundreds of meters, and there were more than a dozen carriages carrying people.

The situation in the capital will be unstable for some time to come, and he is afraid that King Yan's rebellion will happen again, so he already plans to stay in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time.

He doesn't plan to take his family back to Beijing until the throne is finalized...

After leaving the city, Di Qing and others had already set up a farewell banquet in the long pavilion, and soon after, Pan Renmei, Kou Zhun and others also brought a large number of officials to see them off.

Pan Renmei sent Cao Bin, and Kou Zhun sent Bao Zheng.

Knowing that Cao Bin was going to take the post of Jiangnan, Yelu Guanyinnu also rushed over and asked:

"Cao Bin, you dismissed the Deputy Negotiator of the Song Dynasty, and now you are going to Jiangnan to take up your post. Do you still talk to me, Daliao?"

After finishing speaking, a pair of beautiful eyes fixed on Cao Bin's eyes.

Cao Bin knew that she was probing, so he couldn't help laughing and said:

"I don't think the princess is in a hurry, just wait with peace of mind. Without Cao, the court will have follow-up arrangements!"

At the beginning of April, the back office of the Chengzhou government office in Runzhou.

An old Taoist was sitting in the main seat pinching his fingers and doing calculations, and he said after a long while:

"Cao Bin and his family and servants can only travel forty miles a day. It will take at least five months to reach Jiangnan."

The prefect of Runzhou nodded and said:

"At least until late May."

The old man asked again:

"He didn't find anything unusual?"

The magistrate of Runzhou laughed and said:

"Don't worry, Bao Tianshi, the lower officials have sent people to give gifts to try."

"Not only did he not have the slightest doubt, but he also wrote back with kind words of comfort, and discussed friendship with the next official, calling him a brother."

"I must be counting on the lower official to help him open up the situation in the Jiangnan officialdom..."

During the words, he was quite proud and joking, only feeling that Cao Bin was already in the palm of his hand.

The old man nodded and said:

"That's very good. According to the regulations of the imperial court, the summer tax must be collected before June."

"You can make your officials and servants intentionally make things difficult for the people, and wait for the Holy Duke to ascend the throne."

"In addition, Jiangning Mansion also needs to prepare in advance. Before the incident, the city must be in hand..."

Jiangning City and Runzhou City are the gateways to the south of the Yangtze River. As long as they occupy these two cities, they can rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to keep the imperial court in the north of the river.

Runzhou Zhizhou Road:

"Tianshi, the lower officials have already made preparations. As long as Sheng Gong gives the order, Jiang Ning can be controlled immediately."

"Why do you have to wait for Cao Bin?"

The old man shook his head and said:

"It's not about waiting for Cao Bin. The saint and my apprentice have already brought back news that the imperial court is invincible."

"In order to prevent the imperial court from advancing and suppressing, we must be fully prepared before we can start an incident!"

"Before this, don't startle the snake."

The magistrate of Runzhou said disapprovingly:

"Although the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is far superior to the two Zhejiang provinces, it's not so scary, is it?"

Although he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he knows more about the situation of the imperial court than the old Taoist.

Moreover, his handle fell into the hands of the Manichaeism, and he had completely rebelled against the court, so it was impossible to lie.

But the old Taoist is still more willing to believe what the saint and his own disciples witnessed with their own eyes.

So he said:

"Needless to say, Sheng Gong has decided to start an incident in early May!"

At the beginning of May, it is the time when the government is in a hurry to pursue taxes and taxes, and the people will definitely suffer terribly.

With the help of the people's resentment towards the imperial court, the Manichaeism can gather enough strength to be more confident in dealing with the imperial court's attack.

Coupled with the fact that the war preparation materials promised by the Liao Kingdom are in place, once the Manichaeism revolts, it will soon sweep Jiangnan.

As long as Jiangnan is fully occupied, even if the imperial court sends all the elites here, the Manichaeism will still have the power to resist.

Bozhou City, Huainan East Road.

Bao Zheng and Cao Bin's family walked together for more than ten days, and just left the capital, arrived here, intending to rest for a day.

In the evening, Gongsun Ce chased after him with three carriages, and said with a smile

"Master Bao, this subordinate has already handed over the duties and brought the guillotine over."

"The official personally decreed that the adults are allowed to bring the guillotine given by the emperor."

Although the three guillotines were given to Bao Zheng personally, they also belonged to Kaifeng Mansion.

Now the emperor deliberately asked him to bring a guillotine, which showed that he still regarded Bao Zheng as a trusted confidant.

Bao Zheng pondered for a while, sighed slightly, but didn't say much, just nodded and said:

"So good!"

Seeing that Bao Zheng didn't want to talk about this question, Gongsun Ce stopped talking and asked instead:

"Lord Bao, Marquis Zhongjing has brought so many family members with him. The schedule is slow, and I'm afraid it will delay the official business."

"Shall we go first?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said:

"This is a trick to deceive the world. There are chaotic religions in the south of the Yangtze River planning to rebel."

"Cao Bin has already secretly led troops day and night, rushing to the south of the Yangtze River."

"He is not in the team now, and I just take care of one or two, so that his servants don't know the importance and disturb the place."

Gongsun Ce said in surprise:

"Marquis Zhong Jing accepted bribes from Jiangnan officials in order to confuse those officials?"

As he spoke, he laughed and said:

"Now it seems that Zhong Jinghou has become more and more faithful in his work, and he really lived up to your expectations."

Bao Zheng said unhappily:

"He drove the old man out of the capital to cooperate with His Majesty..."

Gongsun Ce laughed "puchi", and then persuaded:

"The battle for prince is too dangerous."

"It's also a good thing that Mr. Bao can go out of Beijing to avoid it."

Bao Zheng worried:

"At present, the country's own safety is so important?"

"The old man is only afraid that Da Song will be in danger."

"Even if Concubine Pan Gui gave birth to a dragon son, it would be because the Lord has little doubts about the country, and the country's affairs are in dire straits."

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Gongsun Ce suddenly slapped his forehead and said:

"I forgot to tell my lord that Zhan Huwei entrusted his friends in the rivers and lakes to send invitations to Kaifeng Mansion, saying that he is going to get married in his hometown."

Bao Zheng said speechlessly:

"He really knows how to choose the time. Didn't you hear that Cao Bin is going to take up the post in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"He brought most of his family..."

Gongsun Ce was depressed and speechless, he could only blame Zhan Zhao himself for his bad luck.

He is from Wujin, Changzhou, next to Runzhou. This is a head iron, and he hits the gun...

Gongsun Ce found that the good news he said had turned into bad news, and he was a little helpless.

I wanted Bao Zheng to be happy first, and then tell the bad news, so I can only talk about it casually:

"Also... Master Bao, someone went to Beijing to sue the imperial court, saying that Bao Mian was corrupt, corrupted the law, murdered his life for money..."

When Bao Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said coldly:

"Is Bao Mian now the magistrate of Yuyao, Hangzhou?"

Gongsun Ce nodded and said:

"Indeed."

Bao Zheng suppressed his anger and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, the old man wants to see what he did to force people to sue him."

"Could it be that these three guillotines can't kill him?"

Gongsun Ce hastily said:
