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

It was agreed to let the little emperor recognize his adoptive father, but the father and daughter crossed the river and demolished the bridge. If they got the power, they would not mention this. Wouldn't the previous adventure be in vain?

Now he still wants to prostitute himself for nothing, but Cao Bin doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

It's not that he insists on taking advantage of this, but using the "Foster Inheritance Card" on the little emperor is the most important gain of his adventure.

With the "Yizi Card" guaranteeing the loyalty of the little emperor, he can have no scruples and not worry about the future. Even if he really lies down in the future and the Song Dynasty falls into chaos, he will have a guarantee.

Now is the critical time, and he will never give up easily.

Instead of trying to figure things out for the sake of wealth and life in the future, it is better to decide the result now.

It's just that his attitude of not having anything to do with him immediately confused the Pan family's father and daughter. This guy doesn't really care about it, does he?

Pan Renmei quickly stopped him, and said with a smile:

"Juncai, we are in the same boat now, you don't really want Zhao Ji to get off the hook, do you? If he rebels and gains power, it will be bad for you."

Cao Bin glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Don't worry, grand master. When he usurps the throne, Cao will have the confidence to kill the rebels. Isn't he not rebelling now?"

This old Pan is too dishonest, and at this time he still wants to play tricks on himself, and Cao Bin doesn't even want to talk to him.

"I......"

Pan Renmei was almost pissed off by him. It will be too late when Zhao Ji usurps the throne, but you can establish another emperor. Why don't I just pay big?

"Cough, cough, Grand Master Pan, please make way, Mr. Cao suddenly feels dizzy and needs to go back home to recuperate."

Seeing that Cao Bin spared Pan Renmei as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the gate of the palace, Empress Dowager Pan said helplessly:

"Zhongjing waits to stay for a while, today is also a coincidence, it is an auspicious day, Aijia wants my son to recognize you as a foster father."

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"Let's forget it, Cao is humble, how dare he be respected by the superior?"

With that said, he was about to leave quickly.

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, and was about to leave Funing Hall, Concubine Pan became anxious and hurriedly said:

"Father, stop Juncai!"

She wanted to take advantage of Cao Bin, but she didn't expect to be taken advantage of by the other party in the end, and she felt extremely depressed.

She also saw that relying on her own father alone was not enough to completely suppress Wang Yanling, the prime minister. At this stage, she still had to try her best to win over Cao Bin.

"Juncai, if you can solve Liaoxia's conspiracy this time, I am willing to recommend you as the envoy of the third division."

In order to dispel Cao Bin's previous Jiedi and let him make a move, Empress Dowager Pan also increased her bargaining chips.

Although Pan Renmei was a little unhappy, she didn't object. She was just a little jealous of Cao Bin. When the emperor asked Gu, she was already very partial to him.

I didn't expect that I would help him find an official now. I was still fooling around in my twenties. Cao Bin was promoted too quickly.

Finally, under the witness of Pan Renmei, Cao Bin "reluctantly" cooperated with Queen Mother Pan to hold a son recognition ceremony.

He didn't delay either, and directly used the last "adoption card" presented by "Boss Cao".

This card is inherited by He Yan. Although his talent is not particularly outstanding, he has made some achievements in academics.

Seeing that the little emperor's complexion quickly improved and his sickness disappeared, the Empress Dowager Pan and others were shocked. They did not expect that Cao Bin's recognition of his son would actually have the ability to pray for blessings.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this change visible to the naked eye is a miracle.

At this moment, she was even a little ashamed of herself. Could it be that Cao Bin wanted to recognize the little emperor as his adopted son because he was really sincere and not for fame or fortune?

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, with this blessing, Your Majesty will not be in danger of dying in the future!"

Hearing this, not only Queen Mother Pan, but even Pan Renmei were very excited. If it was true what Cao Bin said, the deepest worries in their hearts would be gone.

Empress Dowager Pan even couldn't help crying, she hugged the little emperor with joy and said:

"Juncai, I don't know how to thank you..."

Just at this moment, a little eunuch ran in and said:

"Empress Dowager, Mr. Wang has come to remind you, asking if your health is better."

When Queen Mother Pan heard this, she immediately looked at Cao Bin. She was about to ask Cao Bin for help in this matter.

Pan Renmei said:

"Now the official family has no worries about sickness. If it is really impossible to say that Liaoxia will be retired, it's not impossible to Rao Zhao Ji's fellow once. Just deal with him in the future."

He also had to admit that if he didn't want to take risks, Sima Guang's policy of giving in was indeed the safest expedient measure, and it could be regarded as an old-fashioned way to seek the country.

Cao Bin laughed and said:

"Liaoxia is nothing to worry about. Those people have no backbone. Cao has long disliked them."

"Don't worry about it, Queen Mother, let's see how I will drive them out of the capital."

Seeing that he was so bold, Pan Renmei shook her head speechlessly and said:

"How can it be so easy? Liaoxia is barbaric, it's hard to force back."

Concubine Pang's eyes were bright, she only felt that the civil and military affairs of the whole court were not as courageous as Cao Bin.

In the Zichen Palace, Wang Yanling had already led all the ministers to stand in line, waiting for the Empress Dowager Pan to return to preside over the court meeting.

Sima Guang also became an old god.

So far, Empress Dowager Pan can only adopt her own opinion.

As long as he can say that he will retire from Liaoxia and ensure the stability of the Song Dynasty, he will be famous. In the future, he may have the opportunity to succeed Wang Yanling in power and display what he has learned in his life.

However, when he saw Cao Bin and Pan Renmei entering the palace together, some disgust and tension flashed in his eyes.

He is relatively conservative, and he looks down on people like Cao Bin who behave like a loafer the most.

Not to mention that Cao Bin was born as a warrior, and he likes to make profits through business means, which brings together all his annoying characteristics.

For him, the current difficult situation of the Great Song Dynasty was caused by warriors like Cao Bin who urged the former emperor to attack Xia, and the country's wealth remained unchanged. Cao Bin's so-called means of enriching the country and enriching oneself were all competing with the common people.

If Kou Zhun's attitude towards Cao Bin is mixed with admiration and vigilance, he is completely hostile and regards him as a treacherous villain.

What made him nervous was that Cao Bin was unprincipled, and his methods were cunning and changeable. Now that he suddenly appeared in the court, if he wanted to thwart his plan, there would be twists and turns.

Not only him, but Wang Yanling and others also frowned.

At this moment, seeing Empress Dowager Pan and Concubine Pang also stepped out of the apse, all the ministers had no time to think, and hurriedly bowed their bodies to salute.

"Empress Dowager, please decree to pardon Duan Wang Zhao Ji, and order the third division to raise money and silk to settle the matter."

After saluting, Sima Guang couldn't wait to leave the class to ask for an order.

Empress Dowager Pan saw that he was coercing all the ministers, with hidden intentions of coercion, and her heart became more responsive, but she was not in a hurry to let Cao Bin take the lead.

She narrowed her almond eyes slightly, looked at the ministers and said:

"Is this what all the gentlemen mean?"

Hearing this, Wang Yanling and a half of the courtiers bowed and said:

"The ministers seconded the words of Sima Zhiyuan."

Zhang Dun couldn't help saying:

"I still don't agree..."

Just as he was about to leave work, he was interrupted by Sima Guang:

"Zhang Dun, stop arguing uselessly."

"If you don't use my tricks, can you guarantee that Liao Xia will not join forces to attack my Great Song Dynasty and send it back to the Empress Dowager safely?"

Zhang Dun was speechless immediately, and retreated angrily:

"Although I don't dare to be a guarantor, it is definitely not advisable to bribe the enemy country in order to get peace of mind."

Sima Guang didn't care about him, he just sneered and said:

"Since you dare not make a guarantee, what face do you have to force yourself to argue?"

"Besides, it's just a hundred thousand yuan of money and silk with him, why bother to cause trouble?"

"It's so difficult to use the nameless and unjust soldiers like last year to put the country in danger?"

Having said that, he looked at the other ministers who were eager to try, and said coldly:

"Those who disregard the safety of the country, blindly strive for success, and bewitch the Holy Lord to provoke powerful enemies are all court traitors, and they can be killed!"

Hearing this, everyone was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

After all, no one can guarantee that Liaoxia will take advantage of the weakness of the Song Dynasty and the new funeral of the emperor to insult the empress dowager or send troops to attack.

Either way, they cannot be held accountable.

Empress Dowager Pan was disappointed when she saw that the entire court had been silenced by Sima Guang's words, but Cao Bin turned around and asked:

"So, Sima Zhiyuan is confident that he will withdraw from Liaoxia and calm down the situation?"

Hearing Cao Bin's question, although Sima Guang didn't want to talk to him, he had to reply:

"The next official has his own plan."

Pan Renmei, Zhang Dun and others couldn't help shaking their heads when they heard the words, thinking that it would be difficult for Cao Bin to stop Sima Guang.

Compared with refusing to reason and striving, it is natural that concessions and compromises are the least likely to cause conflicts.

Only Concubine Pang looked expectantly, wanting to see what amazing words he had to say.

However, Cao Bin was very rude and said:

"You have a bird feather to count."

Hearing this, she almost collapsed, and quickly coughed twice to cover it up.

Sima Guang was also flushed with anger, and said angrily:

"Zhong Jinghou, you insulted the subordinate, I want to join you..."

Wang Yanling shook his head helplessly. He had known for a long time that Cao Bin didn't play cards according to common sense, but he didn't expect that just one sentence would interrupt Sima Guang's rhythm, so he could only say:

"Hou Zhongjing, if you want to speak, do so as you please. You must not utter obscenities in the courtroom."

Seeing Wang Yanling come forward, Sima Guang also calmed down, glared at Cao Bin and said:

"Zhong Jinghou, what opinion do you have, please tell me clearly."

He looked at Cao Bin with anger in his eyes, and when he couldn't give a good reason, he immediately sprayed.

However, Cao Bin unhurriedly took out a stack of manuscript paper from his sleeve, and said to Sima Guang:

"This is the information sent by the Daxiangguo Temple, which describes in detail the conspiracy between the Liao people and Xixia."

"Do you think that one hundred thousand coins and silk can satisfy them? This is just testing my Da Song's attitude."

"Xixia wants the Walled Cities of Hengshan, and you will give them too?"

When Cao Bin was working in the Foreign Affairs Institute, he entertained Liao people in the Daxiangguo Temple, and dug many secret passages in the temple to spy on the Liao mission.

The Secret Way made a special fuss about Buddha statues, and the Liao people lived there several times without discovering it.

In the past two years, the monks of Daxiangguo Temple have earned a lot of money from Cao Bin by virtue of their intelligence work.

Sima Guang never expected that Cao Bin would find out about Liao Xia's plot.

But he immediately reacted and said indifferently:

"Don't say that I wait for both kindness and power, Liaoxia dare not go too far."

"So what if it was given to those strongholds? They were originally the strongholds that we seized from the Xixia people, and they were the root of the border chaos."

"The envoy Zhong Shiheng of Yanyan Jinglue has written several times, saying that Hengshan City Walled City was raped by Xixia stragglers and thieves, and asked the imperial court to allocate money and food to rebuild the new city."

"But where did the imperial court get the money and food?"

"In my opinion, instead of occupying an unjust place, it is better to return it directly to the other party, so as to avoid conflict between the two countries."

Hearing this, the ministers immediately became noisy.

The real reward of the Great Song Dynasty's turnaround is that the cities of Hengshan have restrained Xixia in terms of terrain.

If it is given to these strongholds, it will be tantamount to burying the results of the bloody battles of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Song Dynasty in vain.
