Now that Zhao Ji escaped and took the Queen Mother hostage again, who knows what he will do, Cao Bin doesn't want to cause trouble at this time.
Zhao Fujin was so angry that he puffed his cheeks and stopped talking...
After arriving at the princess' mansion, although Princess Zhaoyang's eyes were sparkling and charming, Cao Bin didn't stay any longer.
After all, the emperor was seriously ill and dying. If he knew that he was sleeping with his sister, wouldn't he die immediately?
Now that the imperial court is about to change drastically, it is better to leave a good impression on the emperor.
Sending Cao Bin away, Princess Zhaoyang was depressed when she suddenly heard the female officer whisper:
"Princess, do you think Lord Cao wants to take Princess Kangfu?"
Princess Zhaoyang froze for a moment and said:
"how is this possible?"
The female officer said as if nothing had happened:
"It's true, although His Royal Highness Duan Wang was demoted to a commoner, he is also a member of the imperial family."
Princess Zhaoyang immediately came to her senses, glanced at her and said:
"You hoof, what do you want to say?"
Most of the Cao family are in Hangzhou, and the Zhongjing Hou Mansion at this time is very deserted.
After washing away the dust and changing clothes, after Cao Bin came out, he saw Pang Yu drinking tea in the living room.
His head was wrapped in cotton, and one arm was in a sling, looking miserable.
Seeing Cao Bin come out, Pang Yu quickly pulled him to the side and sat down and asked:
"Juncai, I heard that something happened in the palace, what happened?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, we won here."
"What...how did you do it? Is it so serious?"
Hearing Cao Bin ask about his injury, Pang Yu said depressedly:
"Isn't that kid Zhang Wen? I don't know how I offended him."
"You actually planned to frame me wholeheartedly. After entering the Kaifeng mansion, you bought people to torture me severely, so you almost beat me to death."
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes again, showed them to Cao Bin, and proudly said:
"But the young master is not scared too much. When we were in Bianjing, he was still nursing at home obediently."
"Now that our family has lost power, if I confess, won't I really have to be sentenced?"
"So I let him torture me, but I didn't recruit him. Didn't he let me out in the end?"
When Cao Bin saw his injury, he looked at him with admiration. He didn't expect this uncle to be so tough at the critical moment.
Instead, he got himself involved.
Seeing Cao Bin pondering, Pang Yu thought he was trying to get revenge, so he hurriedly said:
"You don't need to worry about Juncai. After all, his uncle is in charge of the Dianqian Division, and he is your superior. You should take a long-term plan for revenge."
Cao Bin himself is also a member of the dude, and he understands the psychology of these people very well.
Most of them are very bachelors, as long as your family is more powerful than mine, I will admit it, and never speak hard and ask for trouble.
Cao Bin laughed and said:
"There's no need to think long-term? My younger brother has already taken care of their nephew and uncle."
He briefly described what happened in the palace.
Pang Yu's eyes lit up and said:
"Even his uncle was killed?"
Then he laughed twice, and said a little puzzled:
"It's cheap for this kid."
"When that kid is buried, I will definitely go to his grave to pee..."
Cao Bin was speechless for a while, too lazy to talk to him, just said:
"Yue Zhang and Yan Yan will return to Beijing soon, brother will wait for them in my house."
Upon hearing this, Pang Yu shook his head and said:
"When I came back this time, I found that Bianjing is not very interesting, and I don't want to live for a long time."
"I heard that you have a lot of caravans in the south of the Yangtze River, can you sell me a reliable fleet? I want to go to the West."
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he came up with such an idea, he just said:
"The fleet can send you one, but I'm afraid you won't be able to endure the hardships of sailing, and it's also very dangerous."
Pang Yu laughed out loud, and said indifferently:
"Brother, what I want is excitement, don't worry, just lend me a few powerful guards, and I'll bring you back some Western beauties."
As he spoke, he yearned again:
"I heard that there are black beauties, so I must try them then."
Cao Bin was speechless, this guy has quite a strong taste.
He remembered seeing some rumors in later generations that most of the bad diseases in modern times came from the West. It seems that he should stay away from him in the future.
This guy is worse than himself, it would be great if he could get a "Inheritance Card" suitable for him.
It's a pity that after buying the "Life Card", Cao Bin's penny points were all spent.
There is only one "Shangguan Wan'er Inheritance Card" in the Space-Time Mall that has not been used yet.
In addition, there is no money to buy the "Xunyou Inheritance Card". In addition, what Cao Bin is most concerned about is to complete the "trapped camp" and "tiger and leopard cavalry" soldier souls.
"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" now has 800 soldier souls, so don't worry, there are only a few dozen people who have soldier souls in the "trapped camp"...
the next day.
Cao Bin originally thought that the hanging card could only protect his life for one day, but there was no news of the emperor's death from the palace.
Then he also realized that maybe the emperor had just fainted before, and his vitality had not been exhausted.
At the same time, Zhongshu's imperial decree has also arrived at home.
Cao Bin did not expect that he was appointed by the emperor as the deputy envoy of the third division.
Now that the third division has brought Cai Jing down, he is the highest official in charge of the third division.
Compared to the Deputy Envoy of the Third Division, the title of Prince Shaofu is not important. He is only 21 years old now, and he feels a bit dreamy.
Not long after the imperial decree was issued, the officials and generals who got the news came to congratulate them one after another.
For these people, Cao Bin rejected all of them. He had just been promoted, so it was not suitable to celebrate with great fanfare.
In the evening, the second housekeeper held a list and said:
"Master Hou, the officials and slaves who came to congratulate you have already marked it down, especially your subordinates in the third department, and marked it out."
Then, he specifically said:
"Vice Envoy Duzhi Wang Fu went to Grand Master Pan's residence first, and came to see the young master in the afternoon."
Cao Bin nodded, took a look at the list and said:
"well done......"
Although he didn't intend to accept gifts, it was still necessary to find out the background of his subordinates and their attitude towards him.
After reading the list, he decided to call Zhang Dun back as soon as possible.
This person has been in the place for two years, and his methods should be more mature.
With this person, his power will have a core, and if he uses Pang Ji to win over some courtiers, he will soon become a considerable force in the court.
When Cao Bin was excited about forming a force, everyone in Tianbo Mansion was full of sadness.
In this palace change, Cao Bin benefited the most. Wang Yanling also retained his position as prime minister, and also drove away Pan Renmei, becoming the only prime minister of the Zhengshitang.
The most unlucky ones are Kou Zhun and the Yang family.
Kou Zhun was better, but he was demoted from the Deputy Privy Envoy to the Court of Admonitions, and was deprived of all honors and posts.
Although his official position has been lowered a lot, he has not been driven out of the capital, and his influence is still there.
The Yang family was miserable, and Yang Zongbao's title directly changed from "hou" to "zi".
If they hadn't been full of loyalty and played an important role in the court, the title would probably be directly abolished by the emperor.
Poor Yang Zongbao has become the smallest title before he can sit still.
Even his dispatch of Hebei soldiers and horses has become a "temporary substitute"... It is estimated that he will be confused when he receives the imperial edict.
In the hall, Qiniang of the Yang family was saying bitterly:
"It's all the fault of Cao Bin, the little bastard, who deceived me and my sister-in-law so much. Without him, Pan Renmei would have fallen long ago, and the Yang family would not have been demoted."
Liu Niang rolled her eyes and said:
"Intrigues on the battlefield, who told us to be stupid? Who is to blame?"
"If you ask me, the worst thing is Li Zhaoming. If he hadn't mutinied and forced the palace, our family wouldn't have been in such a miserable situation."
"At the end of the day, we shouldn't have listened to Kou Zhun's words and got involved in this matter in the first place."
"It's very lucky that the officials didn't recognize us as rebellious, otherwise Hu's family would be a lesson from the past."
Er Niang smiled bitterly and said:
"We have no choice. As Mr. Kou said, the little prince is too dangerous for Da Song. This is justified."
"Besides, we can't watch the Pan family father and daughter control the government, otherwise, how could my Yang family survive in the Great Song Dynasty..."
"Even now, the heir has the blood of the Pan family. Once he takes over the government in the future, he doesn't know what he thinks of us."
The hatred between the Pan and Yang families was too deep, and each relative died at the hands of the other. Normally, the court and the emperor oppressed each other, so they lived in peace. Once the Pan family gained power, how would the Yang family survive?
The most frustrating thing is that Pan Renmei has been promoted step by step without credit, while their Yang family has had ups and downs, and there has never been a smooth sailing time.
Madam She looked at the snowflakes that started to fall outside the window, and sighed:
"I don't know what terms Cao Bin negotiated with Pan Renmei. He is now in charge of the third department. If he also joins forces with Pan Renmei, it will be difficult."
In the middle of the next night, when Cao Bin was fast asleep, there was a loud banging on the door, and someone shouted:
"Master Hou, the palace is urgently summoned..."
Hearing that the palace was urgently called, Cao Bin's heart skipped a beat, he had already expected it.
Under the service of the maid, hurriedly put on the court clothes, boarded the carriage and rushed to the imperial city.
The entire city of Kaifeng was shrouded in heavy snow, and the "squeak" sound of the wheels crushing the snow made the streets look quiet and deserted.
"Your Majesty, Zhongjing is here."
In the Funing Hall, there were already twenty or thirty important officials waiting. Seeing Cao Bin's arrival, the eunuchs hurriedly reminded him before he collapsed.
The emperor opened his eyes, nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the ministers, and said weakly:
"I was not talented at first, and I succeeded to the throne at an early age, so that the country's affairs were in turmoil and the world was restless."
"Fortunately, thanks to the help of all the virtuous ministers, I was able to rule the world. Now that I am dying, I have summoned the courtiers of the clan to entrust future affairs!"
All the ministers kowtowed and said sadly:
"Your Majesty, please protect the body of the dragon and recover soon!"
The emperor beckoned and said:
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, sit on the side of the couch and come to me..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanling hurried forward, bowed his head and quietly listened to the emperor's instructions.
