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

If even the missions surrender to the enemy and treason, then his face will be gone, which is even more embarrassing than losing a battle.

Various reasons can also be found for the defeat. The envoy's defection to the enemy is tantamount to directly saying that he is not good as an emperor.

He has no knowledge of people, and he is not worthy of the loyalty of his courtiers.

Then he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history books.

"Great for life and afraid of death, shameless villain, despicable, shameless!"

Seeing this, the emperor's eyeballs turned red, and he looked up at the ministers, with an unprecedented coldness in his eyes.

"Uncle Zhongjing said in a loud voice: the foreign minister's knees are hard, he can't kneel!"

Just when he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he suddenly saw a statement embellished by the spy.

The emperor felt his tense heart suddenly relax, and couldn't help admiring:

"Okay! Uncle Zhongjing is a loyal minister!"

Even if all the members of the mission were martyred, it would be better than surrendering to the enemy.

Cao Bin was able to say such tough words in the face of a knife and an axe, which made the emperor feel relaxed, and at the same time was quite moved.

There is no harm without comparison, especially under the premise that Li Tang is so spineless, it is even more rare to set off Cao Bin.

Seeing the sudden change in the emperor's face, the humble ministers couldn't help becoming nervous. They looked at each other and each guessed the content of the secret report.

Only Pang Ji knew the content of the secret report well and knew why the emperor reacted so strongly.

The Jiyi Division is an institution under the control of the Privy Council, and the first stop for the secret report to be delivered to the court is Pang Ji's place.

When he saw the secret report for the first time, he was also in a cold sweat.

He didn't put himself in the emperor's shoes, but he was worried about Cao Bin. He had secretly ordered the border guards to cooperate with Cao Bin.

He even regretted not persuading Cao Bin to resign and go home.

Even if he has no future, it's better than losing his life. He didn't expect Yuan Hao to be so savage and rude, and he would kill the envoy as soon as they met.

Although he has stood in the imperial court for decades, but faced with such a situation, he also thinks it is a difficult situation to solve.

Unexpectedly, his dandy son-in-law cracked it.

While he was afraid, he was also relieved and joyful.

At this time, the emperor was suddenly filled with righteous indignation:

"Okay, good kill, even the cracked car is cheap, Li Tang!"

When Cai Jing heard this, he was shocked at first, and then bitterness appeared on his face.

Li Tang was recommended by him, now that the emperor hates this person so much, he might be implicated as well.

Especially thinking of what he had done for Li Tang, his usually calm face twitched involuntarily.

"Bo Zhongjing stated the victory and defeat of Song Xia, and the Western Xia Dynasty was worried, and Yuan Hao was speechless..."

The emperor looked at Cao Bin and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages between Song and Xia in detail. He kept nodding and said to himself:

"Cao Bin is right. Xixia is a small country, but it doesn't care about its own survival, and deliberately provokes Song Dynasty."

"This is overestimating one's abilities. The rulers and ministers of the Western Xia Dynasty should reflect on themselves... Zhang Yuan?"

The emperor's pupils suddenly became bloodshot at the names that came into view.

The king and minister of Xixia, the person he hates the most is not Yuan Hao, but Zhang Yuan, a young boy.

Traitors are always more hated than true villains.

The emperor met Zhang Yuan.

The last time he participated in the imperial examination, he had already reached the imperial examination, but his essay was flawed, so he had to fail the exam.

It was also after this time that he quickly joined Xixia.

Because of this incident, the imperial court also changed the rules of the imperial examination. In the future, all candidates who participated in the palace examination will no longer be dismissed, and all will be admitted.

It is to prevent this kind of thing from happening again and let the court miss talents.

Seeing Zhang Yuan's rebuttal at this time, trying to force Yuan Hao to attack Song Dynasty, the emperor's teeth itch with hatred.

"Okay, hahaha... Good scolding! Isn't it Zhang Yilun?"

Seeing Cao Bin scolding Zhang Yuan until he vomited blood, the emperor couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing.

At this time, he drank a large glass of iced sour plum soup as if in a scorching summer, and he felt refreshed from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, extremely happy.

The depression that has been suppressed for a long time seems to dissipate in an instant, making his face flush with excitement, and he keeps praising the table:

"A handsome talent, a handsome talent, the loyalty of the country, my thigh!"

Seeing this, Pang Ji quickly said: "Your Majesty is too praised, this is the duty of a courtier, and it is also what a talented person should do."

The emperor nodded at Pang Ji, shook his head and said with a smile:

"Grand Master doesn't have to be too humble for a talented person, he has done a good job, I want to reward him, reward him!"

Pang Ji said with a bitter face: "Officials, now Juncai is still in the dragon's pond and tiger's lair. I want the frontier soldiers to take the initiative to attack and try to rescue him."

Only then did the emperor gradually hold back his smile, nodded solemnly and said:

"The grand master is right. A talented person will go to danger for the country and go deep into the land of tigers and wolves."

"Now he must be in a difficult situation, like walking on thin ice, I can't let Zhongliang down, how do you think we can save him?"

At this time, he had already read the secret report, and didn't pay much attention to the elixir.

He may be a little weak, but he doesn't have the problem of being obsessed with longevity like other emperors, and he doesn't believe that there is really a elixir of immortality in the world.

After a glance, he thought that Cao Bin was deceiving Yuan Hao to save his life.

As for the naked-clothes fighting scene, he just finds it funny and angry...

At this moment, the eunuch guarding the gate suddenly ran in and reported:

"Your Majesty, the [-]-mile journey in Yanzhou is a memorial written by Uncle Zhong Jing himself."

"Huh? Submit it quickly!"

The previous secret report was sent by the secret agents of the Jiyi Division a few days ago, and it only recorded the meeting of the mission with Yuan Hao.

Now that six or seven days have passed, Cao Bin actually wrote the memorial himself, which must be the latest news.

Hearing this, not only the emperor and Pang Ji, but even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty became nervous.

The emperor opened it and saw that the meeting with Yuan Hao on the opposite side of the memorial was just a few strokes, but detailed about Yuan Hao's assassination.

Finally wrote:

"Based on what I expected, Yuan Hao's life and death are only in the blink of an eye."

"Nowadays there is civil strife in Xixia, Hengshan has few soldiers, this is the opportunity to defeat Xixia!"

"I hope that the imperial court will send out an army quickly, and cooperate with the humble ministers inside and outside to fight against Xia."

After the emperor finished watching the symphony, he stood up abruptly, kept turning in circles, and murmured:

"Yuan Hao dies, Xixia will definitely stop..."

This memorial was written by Cao Bin when he first hooked up with the Wuzang clan. Only then did he have the opportunity to deliver letters.

Now there are only 4 or [-] horses left in the Hengshan Daying Camp.As long as Yuan Hao dies and the morale of the army is unstable, it is the best time to attack Xixia.

Even if Xixia cannot be destroyed, as long as the Song Dynasty occupies Hengshan, it will be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage, threaten Xingqing Mansion from above and suppress Xixia.

At that time, the initiative will be in the hands of Da Song, and Xixia will no longer have the confidence to take the initiative to provoke.

The emperor circulated Cao Bin's memorial to his ministers, and asked Pang Ji:

"Grand Master, hasn't Ji Yisi's follow-up information been delivered yet?"

Grand Master Pang shook his head and said: "Officials, since the imperial court wants to send troops to rescue Juncai, why not take advantage of the situation and act according to this plan?"

Cai Jing hurriedly left the shift and said:

"Officials, act with caution, after all, this is Uncle Zhongjing's one-sided words."

"We still need other news to testify, so why not wait for Jiyi to report."

The reason for his objection is very simple, no matter whether this matter is a success or failure, it is not good for him.

If he defeated Xixia according to Cao Bin's strategy, then his contribution would be too great, and he would definitely rise up in the court.

At that time, the balance in the court will be broken, at least he will be suppressed by Grand Master Pang.

The second is that he doesn't quite believe what Cao Bin said. Yuan Hao, as a generation of heroes, how could he be schemed to death by Cao Bin so easily?

This is too bizarre.

He very much suspected that Cao Bin wanted to cheat for credit through war.

Kou Zhun also finished reading Cao Bin's memorial at this time, and pondered:

"Yuan Hao's life and death are only calculated by Uncle Zhong Jing, and we are not fully sure yet."

"The minister also suggested to wait for the retaliation of Ji Yisi."

Pang Ji stared, his beard was blown out of anger, and said angrily:

"Your Majesty has already decided to send troops to rescue Cao Bin, why is it delayed again and again at this time?"

A minister behind Cai Jing said:

"Grand Master, earlier we thought Uncle Zhongjing was in danger, so it was appropriate to send some soldiers to rescue him."

"Nowadays it involves a national war, and it involves a lot. It can't be solved by one battalion and one army. We have to be careful."

With that, he added:

"The current situation, if Yuan Hao is not dead, is likely to be Xixia's trick to lure the enemy."

"If Yuan Hao is about to die, Xixia will definitely stop fighting. Isn't that what we are asking for?"

"National affairs, you should be cautious, I think it's better to be quiet..."

His meaning is very simple, the news from Cao Bin is not reliable.

As long as the war between Song and Xia can end, it will be a satisfactory result. Why do you have to fight Xixia to the death?

As soon as he said this, there was another quarrel in the hall, spitting and flying.

The emperor frowned, looked at the courtiers in disgust, and scolded:

"Shut up and stop arguing."

As he spoke, he turned to the female general of the Yang family and asked:

"Madam She, you have been in battle for a long time, what do you think of this matter?"

Old Madam She was also in a difficult situation, except for the need for the Yang family to go on an expedition, she usually did not speak in court, just to reduce the troubles of Tianbo Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually asked himself now.

She looked at Kou Zhun, and carefully recalled Cao Bin's style of work. After being in a dilemma for a while, Fang said:

"The important matter of the soldiers' country must be investigated..."

She first memorized a passage of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and when the emperor got a little impatient, she said:

"It stands to reason that this is a great opportunity to conquer Xixia."

"But... I think it's better to proceed with caution."

After wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, Mrs. She finally gave a tactful answer.

At this time, she felt very tired, the position of the Yang family itself was a little sensitive.

The emperor's questioning was equivalent to betting the future of their Yang family on Cao Bin's character. Although her impression of Cao Bin had changed drastically, she still did not dare to fully trust Cao Bin.

If she supports Cao Bin's strategy, the Yang family will inevitably be implicated in the future, and she dare not take the risk.

When the emperor heard this, he said directly to Grand Master Pang:

"According to Juncai's memorial, he is not in danger now, so I can rest assured."

"In this case, be cautious and wait for the spies to retaliate."
