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

"Some things, even though Uncle didn't explain them, are already being done."

"This is what Zhang admires... In fact, Zhang is more willing to follow his uncle and ask for advice from time to time."

"Dengzhou is adjacent to Xiangyang, which is why Zhang wants to go there."

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"In that case, my lord, let's try..."

Zhang Dun is a person who does practical things, and Cao Bin still believes it.

Otherwise, like Jia Zheng in the Red Mansion, it would be ridiculous to be taken advantage of by Jia Yucun.

After sending Zhang Dun away, Cao Bin did not delay, and immediately found an acquaintance in the Zhengshitang.

It's hard to talk about giving charcoal in the snow, but it's easy to add icing on the cake.

The man was originally from the old family of Grand Master Pang. Hearing that Cao Bin wanted to recommend Zhang Dun, he hurriedly said with a smile:

"Uncle Cao, don't worry, we have also seen Zhang Zihou's self-recommendation post."

"He has enough qualifications, and he has a foreign post in Beijing. With your recommendation, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Tokyo is rich and charming, and few Beijing officials are willing to transfer outside Beijing.

Zhang Dun's family background is not low, and he has real talents. Although it is a bit of an exception to be promoted to the magistrate, it is not too difficult.

After getting the exact news, Cao Bin immediately notified Zhang Dun.

I thought the matter was a foregone conclusion, but a few days later, Chen Shimei suddenly came to visit with a gift.

It turned out that Chen Shimei was entrusted by her brother Qie in the same list, and she also wanted to plan to send Dengzhou Zhizhou.

"Uncle Zhong Jing, this promotion is very important to my brother Qi, and I hope that for Chen's sake, I will take care of him."

"You have deep connections in the court, and you don't care about the position of a Zhizhou..."

Cao Bin hurriedly stopped him, speechless:

"Chen Concubine, what you said is a bit too much. How can you say that Cao doesn't care about the position of a prefect?"

"Cao is recommending talents for the country. This official position also belongs to the country. You can't talk nonsense!"

Ma De, give in as you say, I don't want to lose face.

I have already notified Zhang Dun, you let me go back, what are you talking about?

Still looking at your face?Kind of funny!

Seeing that she hadn't finished speaking, she was blocked by Cao Bin, Chen Shimei's face was a little ugly, she gritted her teeth and said:

"If Zhong Jingbo can become a beautiful friend in the whole world, I am willing to give up [-]% of the proceeds in the construction camp!"

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, looked carefully at Chen Shimei, and after seeing him hairy, shook his head and said:

"Chen Concubine, you are promoting talents for the country. Did Cao Mou do it out of self-interest?"

"Cao just pretended not to hear your wild words! If you say it again, I will impeach you."

Hearing this, Chen Shimei almost died of anger, when did you, Cao Bin, become so impartial?

If you say this, you won't be afraid of others laughing your ass off.

However, Cao Bin didn't give in, and only responded with big words, so he could only be angry, and there was nothing he could do.

I had no choice but to arch my hands, shake my sleeves and leave.

Looking at his back, Cao Bin became pensive.

No matter how Chen Shimei looked at it, she didn't look like someone who sold out her interests for her friends.

He was willing to pay [-]% of the construction camp's profits, which was not easy.

Cao Bin suddenly thought that Chen Shimei's hometown seemed to be in Junzhou, right next to Dengzhou.

So he called Shi Qian and told him carefully...

A few days later, people from Zhengshitang suddenly came and said:

"Uncle Cao, the matter of Zhang Zihou is a bit troublesome. Mr. Cai from the third division personally recommended someone."

"It's not that the lower officials don't do their best. Mr. Cai recommended it personally, and even Prime Minister Wang attached great importance to it."

Cao Bin was a little speechless when he heard the words, but Chen Shimei was a little capable, and she was able to move Cai Jing out.

With his personal connections, there is no way to compete with Cai Jing in the appointment of officials.

Generally speaking, local governors at the Zhizhou level are appointed by the emperor or prime minister himself.

If there is no other way, they can only be recommended directly to the emperor.

However, if you do this, your intentions are a bit difficult to explain.

After all, it is not in line with my personality to promote talents for the country.

Time flies, and the New Year's Eve is coming in a few days.

This is Cao Bin's second New Year in Song Dynasty.

It's just that as a minister, Cao Bin can't rest for the time being.

Because the first day of the lunar new year is the Zhengdan Dynasty, the emperor received congratulations from envoys and officials from various countries in the Daqing Hall.

Burning incense at Daxiangguo Temple in the second day of junior high school.

On the third day of junior high school, there is an archery and horse race in Nanyuyuan, and a banquet for envoys and civil and military officials from various countries.

To Cao Bin's surprise, Chen Shimei became active unexpectedly. He followed Duan Wang Zhao Ji and talked about poetry and poetry with civil servants.

He was inseparable from King Duan, as if he had become his close friend.

Seeing Cao Bin looking at her, Chen Shimei walked over with a cup, knelt down beside him, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhong Jing, Mr. Chen will apologize to you first. The matter of the governor of Dengzhou is something I have to do."

"Uncle Zhongjing refuses, so Chen can only entrust His Royal Highness Duanwang..."

Seeing the pride hidden in his eyes, Cao Bin was a little speechless, just climbed the high branch, and couldn't wait to run to his side to show off?

It seems that Zhao Ji didn't remember the lesson of the last foot restraint. After the banquet is over, the Lord will give you eye drops in front of the emperor.

Let him learn a lesson again...

In fact, Chen Shimei was also depressed. He took out all his private money, and Duan Wang reluctantly agreed to help. If he didn't show off, he would feel really depressed.

At the same time, the queen mother also held a banquet in the harem.

All wives of rank four or above are eligible to participate.

Pang Yanyan is Cao Bin's official wife. His rank is equal to that of the earl, and he is also the fourth rank.

As the daughter of a guilty minister, before she entered the palace, she was already prepared to be left out, but Empress Dowager Liu specially let her sit beside her.

Let all the wives envy.

At this moment, Princess Duan on the other side suddenly said:

"My prince recently asked Cao Bin to draw a picture of a thousand cranes, sister of the Pang family, can you..."

Princess Duan said:

"Sister of the Pang family, can you ask Cao Bin to draw a picture of a thousand cranes and give it to my prince for reference?"

"In order to draw a crane that suits my heart, my lord has not thought about eating or drinking for several days."

Pang Yanyan was stunned for a moment, a little confused:

"Princess, my husband hasn't painted for a long time, I need to ask him."

Princess Duan hurriedly said:

"Why do you need to ask? My lord has said that Cao Bin's painting skills are already superb."

"Even if it's a little rusty, it's okay."

She knew that Zhao Ji and Cao Bin did not get along, and if she asked Cao Bin, she would probably be rejected, so she wanted to force Pang Yanyan to agree on this occasion.

At that time, if Cao Bin wants to repent, he must also consider his dignity.

After all, husband and wife are one, and Pang Yanyan represents Cao Bin himself.

Pang Yanyan was in a dilemma, but the queen mother came and asked with interest:

"Cao Bin still has painting skills? The Ai family has never heard of it, isn't he..."

For Cao Bin's impression, she always felt that he was a loose and frivolous person.

Especially with his own handle in his hand, he is not afraid of his own revenge at all, and he feels very at ease.

If it was a decent person, how could he act like this?

That is to say, I don't want to take risks. If I had changed someone, I would have sent my confidants to use the dark hand after the cooperation was completed.

When Princess Duan heard the Queen Mother's question, she quickly laughed and said:

"My queen, my prince said that Cao Bin's paintings can be called sacred products."

Hearing this, all the women present were shocked.

They did not expect that Cao Bin, who has always been known as a playboy, would have such great painting skills.

Most of the women present were in the inner house, although reciting poems and painting, ordering tea and arranging flowers were all basic skills.

But many people don't know much about the news outside the mansion, and now they have become interested in Cao Bin after hearing what Princess Duan said.

The loyal lady beside Pang Yanyan said curiously:

"I heard that Uncle Zhongjing dotes on concubines very much, Miss Pang is not offended, is she?"

She is the niece of Empress Dowager Liu, so she speaks very casually.

Pang Yanyan quickly waved her hand and said, "No, my husband treats me very well, and those younger sisters are also very polite."

Mrs. Zhong Hou nodded and said:

"This is rare, I'm afraid those men will do something like doting on their concubines and destroying their wives."

"It is said in Beijing that Uncle Zhong Jing is a playboy, and we have all been deceived."

Although they are all noble ladies in Beijing, they inevitably gossiped a bit, and they were very curious about Pang Yanyan, a newcomer to the circle.

Everyone was chattering, and after a while Mrs. Zhong Hou asked in a low voice:

"Although Uncle Zhongjing is young, I heard that he is very flirtatious... How is your health now? How long have you had sex?"

Pang Yanyan blushed immediately when she heard the words, and couldn't sit still, but seeing that the people of the loyal Hou's family were not forgiving, she had to stammer and give a number.

"so smart?"

Mrs. Zhong Hou couldn't help but let out an exclamation, the envy in her eyes could no longer be concealed.

Pang Yanyan was very embarrassed, and felt that these noble ladies were like scourges.

Seeing their situation, everyone understood what was going on, and while covering their mouths and giggling, they couldn't help showing strange looks.

Mrs. Zhong Hou slapped her thigh and said:

"Hey, such a good family, my daughter actually missed it..."

Hearing this, Pang Yanyan looked at her with vigilance.

Seeing this, the queen mother glared at Mrs. Zhong Zhonghou, and said to Pang Yanyan:

"Don't pay attention to her, just talk nonsense."

As she said that, she called the palace man and said:

"Go to Nanyu Garden and ask Cao Bin to draw a picture of a thousand cranes. Aijia can see if his painting is really that good."

When Princess Duan heard the words, her eyes immediately lit up with joy. Cao Bin definitely couldn't refuse the Queen Mother's order.

After completing this matter, the husband will also look at himself with admiration.

Although both King Duan and the Emperor were not descended from Empress Dowager Liu, she has been very fond of King Duan since she was a child...

On the side of the Southern Imperial Court, I heard that the queen mother asked Cao Bin to make a picture of a thousand cranes, and King Duan was overjoyed when he heard this.
