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

"You don't have to worry about Marquis Cao, Zhao can take good care of her..."

As he was talking, Li Qingzhao had already changed into a suit of clothes and came out, with a cloudy face and said:

"You don't have to worry about it, I'll go home on Master Cao's boat."

Although she knew that Zhao Mingcheng's water skills were not very good, even if she jumped into the river, it might not be effective, but she was always disappointed.

So I want to think carefully about the marriage contract between the two.

In fact, Cao Bin also has some understanding of this poetess.

Both of their husbands and wives are educated, with similar backgrounds and similar interests, so the first half of their lives were harmonious and their relationship was harmonious.

But Zhao Mingcheng has the common flaws of ordinary literati, such as great ambition, lack of talent, and cowardice.

When he was a magistrate, his subordinates reminded him of the rebellion of the imperial army, but he didn't take it seriously.

As a result, there was a mutiny that night, and the subordinates took care of themselves to fight and put down the rebellion, only to find that Zhao Mingcheng had already fallen into the city and fled alone.

Li Qingzhao was a stubborn person and despised his behavior very much, so the husband and wife became strangers.

Later, he also wrote a poem expressing his ambition, which implied sarcasm, which made Zhao Mingcheng die in depression.

Hearing this, Zhao Fujin was eager to try and said:

"Don't worry Mr. Zhao, I'll be with Sister Li..."

While she was talking, a little eunuch ran over and said:

"Princess, the prince wants you to go back."

Zhao Fujin stopped abruptly when he heard the words, and said reluctantly:

"I still want to stay with Sister Li."

The little eunuch hurriedly said:

"Please go back, the princess, the prince is already angry."

Zhao Fujin had no choice but to nod, looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Zhong Jinghou, can you draw a picture for me?"

Cao Bin said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess Cao, as long as you have enough money, Cao will be there whenever you are called."

When Zhao Fujin heard this, he immediately said depressedly: "But your paintings are too expensive, and I don't have that much money."

The paintings that Cao Bin sold to Zhao Ji cost 1 taels a pair, and even Zhao Ji himself was a bit reluctant, let alone Zhao Fujin.

Seeing Zhao Fujin's pitiful look, Princess Zhaoyang could only say:

"You can draw a picture for her, and I will pay for it."

Cao Bin said speechlessly, "Only this once."

Zhao Fujin was delighted when he heard this.

Zhao Mingcheng had no choice but to return when he saw that Li Qingzhao refused to enter.

Back to Zhao Ji, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Zhao Ji:

"Your Highness, isn't Cao Bin too arrogant? He doesn't care about the prince at all!"

Zhao Ji nodded bitterly, glanced at Cao Bin's flower boat and said:

"The king will make him look good sooner or later."

Then he said enviously:

"This kid keeps having a lot of love... If only one day, Brother Huang ransacked his house."

Zhao Fujin was a little speechless when she heard the words. She didn't expect that her father would be so shameless, and at the same time, she had a bad impression of Zhao Mingcheng.

Unexpectedly, this person dared not argue with Cao Bin face to face, but slandered him behind his back.

Zhao Mingcheng was still puzzled, and continued:

"Cao Bin is not only arrogant and domineering, but also ignorant and incompetent, and he doesn't know how to get His Majesty's favor. He is really a villain and a traitor is rampant."

Hearing this, Zhao Ji shook his head and said:

"Cao Bin can still do something, but it's just shameless and annoying."

Seeing that Zhao Mingcheng was about to speak, Zhao Fujin couldn't help but scold him:

"Young master Zhao, you often learn the theory of a gentleman, how can you speak ill of others behind their backs?"

Zhao Mingcheng stopped abruptly when he heard the words, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't dare to argue with Zhao Fujin.

It's just secretly distressed, and I don't know if my fiancée can escape Cao Bin's clutches...

"Master Hou, Mr. Gong has an urgent report, please come to the shore!"

Cao Bin was about to order the flower boat to continue sailing, when a servant of the Foreign Affairs Institute suddenly came looking for it with a small boat.

This made him quite disappointed, but he couldn't ignore it, so he had to order the flower boat to dock.

At this time, Gong Liangchen was full of excitement, and immediately said after seeing Cao Bin:

"Honor Zhong Jing, I'm overjoyed, the lower officials have already negotiated with the Liao people."

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Yelu Guanyinnu, she nodded with a smile and said:

"I have already handed over the negotiation matters to Yelu Yixian. If Song Guo agrees to his conditions, I have no objection."

Cao Bin then looked at Gong Liangchen and said:

"What terms were negotiated?"

Gong Liangchen proudly said:

"There is no need to cede land, and there is no need to increase the old coin!"

"As long as my Song Dynasty compensates the Liao Kingdom with 300 million guan supplies this year, and then sever the relationship with Korea, the Liao Kingdom will agree to make peace."

"Please Zhong Jinghou return to the Yamen immediately and sign the peace treaty."

He felt that this kind of condition fully met the requirements of Zhengshitang. It was just a one-time bleeding and abandoning Korea, which should be a great achievement.

Gong Liangchen was waiting for Cao Bin to respond, but Li Qingzhao said doubtfully:

"Didn't the Song Dynasty win? Why do you need to compensate the Liao Kingdom?"

Gong Liangchen's face immediately changed when he heard the words, and he said angrily:

"Who are you, you dare to talk about national affairs, and you can't find death?"

This is the condition that I have worked so hard to negotiate, and it is my proud work, how can I allow people to question it?

Cao Bin shook his head and said:

"I think Mrs. Li is right. Why should Song Dynasty compensate the Liao Kingdom?"

"And this Marquis has already told you my bottom line, who gave you the right to make your own claims?"

Hearing Cao Bin mention his own conditions, Gong Liangchen was filled with anger:

"But Zhong Jinghou's conditions are obviously whimsical and impossible to achieve."

"You are clearly making things difficult on purpose."

"and......"

And this is far from the bottom line given by Zhengshitang.

He saw that Yelv Guanyinnu was also here, so he didn't say the last sentence.

In fact, he had already confirmed the emperor's thoughts through Concubine Pan Gui, otherwise he would not have dared to come to Cao Bin directly.

In this way, as long as the peace agreement is signed, most of the credit will be his own.

Cao Bin didn't care about his thoughts, but said firmly:

"The bottom line of this marquis is this, let the Liao Kingdom pay me three thousand high-quality war horses, and some medicinal materials for fur."

"Go ahead and talk, if the talk fails, don't come to see me!"

As he spoke, he reprimanded again:

"Remember, the Great Song Dynasty is a nation of victories. If you continue to be so weak-legged, I will surely commit your crime of humiliating the country!"

In fact, before Fang La's matter came to fruition, it was impossible to negotiate any favorable conditions.

Yelv Avalokitesvara is waiting, so why isn't he?

Anyway, it is very difficult for Song and Liao to fight again, so why worry?

Princess Zhaoyang didn't understand government affairs, but felt that Cao Bin's words were very encouraging, so she also despised Gong Liangchen, and nodded in agreement:

"Some officials in our Great Song Dynasty are too soft in their bones."

Gong Liangchen almost vomited blood when he heard the words.

Now Song Liao's combat power has not been reversed because of a big war, making Liao lose money, this is talking in sleep.

Who would dare to make such a request among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty?

Even Yelv Avalokitesvara was speechless when he heard Cao Bin's words.

This guy clearly wanted to eat ass. Although she knew that Cao Bin's words must be watery, it was crazy enough to raise this condition.

Has Da Song ever been so tough?

Before the "Chanyuan Alliance", the Song Dynasty also won, but didn't they lose the old coins in the end?

But she didn't open her mouth to refute. Now she is just delaying the time. It is best to negotiate with 300 million supplies. If the negotiation fails, wait for the civil strife in Song Dynasty.

In the past few days, she has sent a lot of people to investigate the situation of Manichaeism.

Although they haven't obtained very detailed information, it has been determined that their strength in Jiangnan is very large.

When Da Song is in danger, let's see if Cao Bin still has the confidence to speak wildly.

Fang Jinzhi has been in and out of the Zhongjinghou's Mansion these days, and she has suspected that Cao Bin deliberately set up a trap, but after seeing the organizational form of the Manichaeism, she no longer has doubts.

This kind of anti-religion is the most difficult to deal with, unless Cao Bin has lost his mind, he will collude with this kind of force.

But this is also a flaw that can be exploited.

When the Manichaeism rises, they can bribe some Song officials to impeach Cao Bin for colluding with anti-religion and plotting wrongdoing.

Maybe it can make this guy come to a dead end.

When the time comes, I will take advantage of the trend to solicit, so why worry about this guy not being able to get in?

Thinking of this, the smile in her eyes became even stronger.

At this time, Gong Liangchen was about to shut himself up.

Because of Princess Zhaoyang's sarcasm, he couldn't argue.

Especially when he saw Cao Bin surrounded by beautiful women, with a leisurely look, he was jealous and hated.

I worked hard to argue for it, and even bribed Mr. Yeluyi in private, and it was very difficult to negotiate such a condition.

It's good now, but those who do things seriously get a "soft-boned" evaluation.

Who are you talking about?

Cao Bin didn't bother to talk to him, he just waved his hands and said:

"Okay, I still have business to do, so you can continue to negotiate."

As he said that, he had already discussed with Princess Zhaoyang about where he was going to play.

Although he didn't know where Gong Liangchen got the confidence to come to get him to sign, he must have been approved by some people.

However, Cao Bin would not sign such a money-losing agreement. Although he didn't care about his current reputation, he didn't want to use this reputation to appear in the history books of later generations.

What's more, the Liao Kingdom does not want money this time, but supplies.

If it's money, Da Song will soon be able to earn it back through trade, but supplies are a real loss...

Seeing Gong Liangchen leaving with a depressed face, Li Qingzhao glanced at Yelu Guanyinnu and asked curiously:

"Zhong Jinghou, although it is a pleasure for you to deal with it like this, but... can the negotiation be made?"
