As she spoke, she said worriedly: "I don't know what will happen next, I'm afraid Cao Bin is going to be in trouble."

Gao Qian looked at the deep mountain forest and said with a wry smile: "I don't know if he will be unlucky, but I am pretty unlucky anyway."

The third mother of the Yang family glanced at him:

"Okay, Heihu was almost stabbed to death and didn't say anything, so don't complain. Who knew Cao Bin was so courageous?"

Entering Shandong, Cao Bin razed Zengtou City, sent five hundred personal guards to escort Taishi Pang to Haizhou, and then hurried to the capital.

As soon as he walked halfway, he bumped into Uncle Fu. Seeing that his hands were empty, Cao Bin quickly asked:

"How about it, didn't the government pardon the Grand Master?"

Uncle Fu glanced at Cao Bin, and complained:

"The old slave asked Princess Zhaoyang to take me into the palace, but the Queen Mother didn't see me at all."

As he spoke, he handed the tooth card to Cao Bin and said:

"Young master, your tooth card doesn't work at all!"

When Cao Bin heard this, he was startled, and he already smelled danger.

At this moment, a group of palace guards galloped up from the official road and shouted:

"Ahead is Uncle Zhongjing? The officials have summoned you, please follow me into the palace immediately!"

Cao Bin was thinking about whether to run away, when the leading Gong Wei said:

"Uncle, you have caused a catastrophe, and the officials are furious, and want you to go and accept the crime."

Seeing the palace guard blinking at him, Cao Bin immediately recalled that that person was the one who followed him on his mission to Xixia.

After receiving the signal, Cao Bin immediately felt relieved, put Pang Yanyan in front of him off the horse, and ordered:

"Uncle Fu, wait to escort the young lady of the Pang family back to the mansion."

Pang Yanyan called Cao Bin worriedly, and left with the palace guard without looking back.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably and said: "Brother Juncai..."

She only felt that the autumn wind in the wilderness was extremely cold, and the tears on her face were also cold.

Uncle Fu persuaded: "Second lady, don't worry, the young master will be fine."

The more he said this, the more Pang Yanyan felt that something was going to happen, and murmured:

"It's all for my family. If something happens to him, I won't be able to live anymore..."

On the way, Gong Wei whispered:

"Don't worry, Uncle. Although the official's face is angry, it seems that they have eaten half a bowl of rice, and they are not really particularly annoyed."

Cao Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and asked a lot of questions to get his mind back.

He will be punished for sure, but as long as he can save his life, he can accept it.

Titles and official positions are things outside the body compared to life, and they can be taken after they are gone.

After time travel, he can still see these things.

Returning to Bianjing quickly, Cao Bin was taken directly to the palace without any delay.

In the Zichen Hall, the female generals of the Yang family, the generals of the Gao family, the Zheng family and others knelt on the ground.

Kou Zhun and Mrs. She also lost their seats, and stood respectfully in the main hall, waiting for the emperor to reprimand them.

There are also other important ministers of various ministries, their eyes ask their noses, their noses ask their hearts, they don't say a word, they are very peaceful.

Seeing Cao Bin come in, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Most of them were angry eyes, even Kou Zhun couldn't help giving him a hard look.

These people were all mistreated by Cao Bin. If he hadn't fought with his troops without any scruples, the matter would not have gone to this level at all.

Although Kou Zhun's methods are fierce, he is in control, and every step is within his psychological expectations.

Only Cao Bin was always beyond his expectations.

It wasn't that he wasn't careful enough, but that Cao Bin had the guts to flaunt his love, and acted too erratically, he couldn't understand Cao Bin's thinking at all.

The emperor glanced at Cao Bin, and shouted to the crowd with a livid face:

"You are really my good ministers. The chief assistant sealed the imperial decree, but you didn't report it, and you falsely passed on my order to intercept and kill the minister."

"The general leads the troops to fight each other, do you still take me seriously?"

"And Pang Ji... Even if I kill you all, there is nothing wrong..."

The more the emperor talked, the more angry he became, his nose was about to smoke.

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, the emperor shouted:

"Cao Bin!"

"You are bold! Presumptuous! Lawless!"

"Are you guilty?"

Cao Bin was so excited that he hurriedly saluted and said honestly:

"Cao Bin pleaded guilty, please punish the officials!"

Everyone was stunned, even the emperor was stunned for a moment, and said with a cold face:

"Cao Bin, do you know that hundreds of people were killed when they attacked their colleagues?"

"It's not too much to chop you into pieces!"

Cao Bin already had some confidence, but he was not afraid of the emperor "clicking" himself, so he said in a deep voice:

"The grand master is kind to me, and I just want to save his life. Even if he makes thousands of mistakes, I am willing to bear it all."

He was about to produce true and false evidence of the Zeng family's crimes to excuse Grand Master Pang, but the emperor's face softened, and he said with a cold "hum":

"If you didn't know how to be loyal to the imperial court, and were not bewitched by the Pang... Zeng family, and wiped them out, I would definitely cut you to pieces!"

"Hey?"

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that before he opened his mouth, the emperor already knew part of the truth, and even explained it for himself, what kind of operation is this?

The emperor glanced at him again and said: "You hand over the evidence of the Zeng family's crimes and wait for punishment!"

Cao Bin opened his mouth and thought, is this not giving me a chance to argue?Or do you want to let me go?

At this time, the emperor ignored Cao Bin, turned to look at Kou Zhun, and said:

"Master Kou! You agreed to let Pang Ji become an official in old age, but why did you seal the title of the imperial decree? Are you kidding me?"

Kou Zhun had no intention of answering, because Zhongshu Sheren had already stepped forward, and said generously:

"Going back to the official's house, this matter has nothing to do with Kou Xiang, it's what I did."

"My minister thinks that Pang Ji's crimes are extremely heinous, and he should not be retired due to old age. The imperial decree is unreasonable, and I have the right to reject it."

The emperor was taken aback by him, and suddenly became angry and said:

"Since you sealed the imperial decree, why didn't you report it? Is this also your right?"

"Without the instruction of Zhenhe Zhengshitang, why did you draft the imperial decree privately?"

"This is trespassing, this is a false edict!"

With that said, the emperor gave him a disgusted look and said:

"Come here, put him in custody for the crime of judging. From now on, his relatives, no matter the direct branch, will never use him."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The Zhongshusheren was immediately stunned. Even if he was cut off directly, he could accept it and expected it.

But I didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless that he would directly cut off the official career of his descendants. ,

This made him unacceptable, so he quickly looked at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun had no choice but to stand up and say, "Officials, there is also the minister's instruction."

He couldn't help but stand up.

In this case, even if he didn't say anything, the Zhongshu Sheren would expose him, and it would be even more embarrassing.

(I wish book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a family reunion.)

The emperor shook his head and said:

"Kou Zhun...you are really guilty of causing such an accident."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the ministers and said: "I want to dismiss Kou Zhun as the chief assistant, do you have any objections?"

Someone stood up and said:

"Officials wait a minute. Although Kou Xiang's actions are a little disrespectful to the officials, but after careful investigation, they did not violate the court's laws."

"There are precedents to follow in the imperial decree of Ci Feng. It is the old system of the ancestors. The imperial decree was drafted and no seal was made privately or the imperial seal was stolen. How can it be said that the imperial decree was passed on falsely?"

"Give the generals an order, and let them bring back Pang Ji for questioning, and there is no intention of intercepting and killing them."

"Your Majesty wants to punish Zhong Jing Bo Cao Bin severely. He is the chief culprit who attacks his colleagues indiscriminately."

As he said that, he asked Zheng Heihu for the imperial decree drafted by Zhengshitang, and said with a smile:

"Write a note with brocade, without a seal, is it considered a false imperial decree? What kind of stupid person would believe such an imperial decree?"

As soon as this remark came out, the emperor was stunned for a moment, but the eyes of several generals and aristocratic families showed anger. Is this what he said in human terms?

Are we going to call us stupid after using it?

However, Kou Zhun's order was indeed to bring Pang Ji back to confront him, and the order to intercept and kill was just to tell Zheng Heihu to act accordingly.

When Cao Bin heard this, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said:

"It turns out that Prime Minister Kou can mobilize the generals of the court at will without false imperial edicts, and he also mobilized more than 3000 soldiers and horses from several families in order to invite Grand Master Pang back."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Since the Five Dynasties, the most taboo of Song Dynasty is the military head.

Old Madam She couldn't hold back anymore, they didn't dare to take this charge, so she hurriedly said:

"Don't talk nonsense, Cao Bin, we were also kept in the dark, let alone intend to intercept and kill Grand Master Pang."

The person who defended Kou Zhun earlier said angrily:

"Cao Bin, you have created something out of nothing, and your heart can be punished."

"Ms. Kou knew that Pang Ji had someone to take care of him, so he sent more people, in order to get all the viscera."

"What evidence do you have that Kou Xiang wants to intercept and kill Pang Ji? None of the generals has received this order."

Cao Bin laughed:

"Mr. Kou clearly stated in my residence that he would send someone to intercept and kill Grand Master Pang, and he also said in public that the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China has issued an imperial edict. Could this also be based on nothing?"

"The chief assistant of the imperial court, the most noble minister, if one sentence is constitutional, can it be said that you can talk nonsense?"

"No need to steal, as long as he says there is an imperial decree, it is a fake imperial decree!"

As he said that, Cao Bin seemed to have remembered something, and asked:

"As you said, it is some treacherous officials who first deceived Cao with the first imperial decree, and then deceived the generals with the second imperial decree."

"I don't know why Cao made a mistake? I brought my personal guards to rescue Grand Master Pang, isn't it protecting the majesty of the imperial decree?"

After finishing speaking, he said aggrievedly:

"Officials, although Cao Bin thought he was innocent, he was also deceived by treacherous ministers, so he is willing to admit punishment."

Seeing Cao Bin beat him up and called himself a traitor, Kou Zhun's nose was almost crooked, and he couldn't help himself and said:

"Cao Bin, the Liao spies have already revealed the relationship between Zengtou City and Pang Ji."

"Say, do they want you to join the Liao Kingdom? What is your intention of defending Pang Ji like this?"

"Don't think that by destroying Zengtou City, you can erase Pang Ji's criminal evidence."

Hearing this, Cao Bin finally understood why the emperor guessed part of the truth in one word.

Cao Bin glanced at Kou Zhun and said:
