At this time, changing into women's clothing added a three-point heroic spirit, which made people's eyes shine.
The Sansi Yamen, the Zhengshitang, the Privy Council and other central institutions are all in the imperial city. This is the first time for Li Qingzhao to come, so he is inevitably a little curious.
However, Cao Bin didn't give her time to familiarize herself with the environment, and directly took her into the third department's office.
"Zhang Ren, bring all the official documents from various ministries some time ago, and hand them to Mrs. Li to read and check, so that she can get familiar with the affairs of the third division as soon as possible."
"From now on, she will be the chief servant of this Marquis..."
Cao Bin already kept many old officials and scholars as his staff. Some of them were born in the capital, some were from the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, and those with outstanding abilities were assigned to the imperial court. Zhang Ren was one of them.
These people are extremely shrewd. When they saw Cao Bin appointing a woman as the chief staff member, they were surprised, but at the same time, they already "understood" in their hearts, and immediately became courteous.
After ordering his subordinates, Cao Bin turned around and smiled at Li Qingzhao:
"Miss Li, the third division is in charge of the country's money and food, and the official documents pile up like a mountain every day. I have been troubled for a long time, so I can only give you three days to adapt!"
"Not only do you have the confidence to assist me?"
Hearing this, Li Qingzhao couldn't help complaining secretly, you also know that the third company has a lot of business, but they only gave me three days, is this using me as a donkey?
She looked at the dozens of yamen in Cao Bin's official residence, and saw that they had different expressions, and she felt a little headache.
As soon as I came in, I was appointed as the chief of the yamen by Cao Bin. Although these people were very enthusiastic on the surface and didn't dare to say anything, they probably wouldn't feel comfortable in their hearts.
But Cao Bin had already said that, so she naturally couldn't be discouraged as soon as she came up, so she could only reluctantly agree.
Seeing her agree, Cao Bin immediately laughed with satisfaction:
"Since that's the case, I still have business to do this time, so I won't disturb your familiarity with the affairs."
After finishing speaking, he entered the inner room and official house...to sleep.
I had a lot of fun last night, and my sleep was interrupted by Li Qingzhao in the morning, so I naturally had to make up for it.
He was naturally aware of Li Qingzhao's concerns.
Some of those staff members had followed him a long time ago, and were suddenly ruled by a woman. Even with Cao Bin's endorsement, they would hardly have some ideas.
This is human nature, and Cao Bin didn't mind.
He was about to take advantage of this to put more pressure on Li Qingzhao, and when he came out to be a good person, he would surely make her sense of belonging quickly reach the standard.
This is not a calculation, it is just a small trick that is done casually.
It was also because Li Qingzhao had a good impression of him that he would do this.
It's just that the plan was declared bankrupt within half a month.
One day, Li Qingzhao pushed the door open because he was in a hurry to seal an important official document. When he saw Cao Bin slacking off to sleep, he was speechless...
It is said that you are busy with official duties and have a lot of work to do every day?
Leaving Li Qingzhao's resentment aside, Zhao Jizheng was talking to Empress Dowager Liu with a relaxed face in a luxurious mansion in Xingqing Mansion in Xixia.
"My mother, the Western Xia Mission has sent news that Wang Yanling seems to be willing to compromise. We should be able to return to Song Dynasty soon."
Empress Dowager Liu showed a little joy on her face, and hurriedly asked:
"Is the news reliable? Will the court really pardon you?"
"Xixia will let us go easily?"
Although Xixia did not treat her badly in life, and the food and clothing provided were all the standards of the Xixia Palace, but compared with Da Song, it was much worse.
Empress Dowager Liu is also not quite used to the customs and tastes of Xixia, and she can't stay here for a long time.
Zhao Ji suddenly laughed and comforted:
"Mother, don't worry, and Xixia can take in our mother and son at a critical time, so the minister is naturally grateful to them and more willing to help them."
"It will be more beneficial for Xixia to return the ministers to the Song Dynasty, and they will not let them go."
As he spoke, he said vigorously:
"Chong'er is safe outside. The mother's plan is really excellent. The child is young and often suffers from illness. At that time, the minister may not have the opportunity..."
At this time, his eyes were shining brightly, full of hope for the future.
Empress Dowager Liu nodded and said happily:
"That's good, that's good."
Then, she thought of something and worried:
"Although Wang Yanling will compromise, will the father and daughter of the Pan family agree? And Cao Bin, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
"When the first emperor dies, you can order him to be an important minister of Tuogu......"
Zhao Ji shook his head and smiled:
"Mother, don't worry. After the emperor's brother passed away, the court situation was unstable, and Pan Renmei didn't dare to go against Xixia."
"And Cao Bin, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, what can he do? At this moment, he can only act fiercely in Song Dynasty. Will Xixia be afraid of him?"
After finishing speaking, his eyes showed some coldness and said:
"Hmph, don't let Erchen slow down, or he will have a good day."
When Empress Dowager Liu heard the words, she immediately felt relieved, and she also showed a relaxed smile. She was about to say something, but saw a guard running in, and said in panic:
"My lord, Queen Mother, something is wrong. We were surrounded by Xixia soldiers, who said they would escort us back to the Song Dynasty..."
The mother and son were stunned when they heard the words, and Zhao Ji was even more flustered:
"This, how is this impossible, the Xixia people are crazy?"
(It was broken for nearly a month ago, and the update has been suffering from kidney deficiency. I am very sorry to all the book friends, and the update will resume tomorrow. I don’t dare to promise, at least two updates. Don’t worry, no matter how difficult it is to write, I will never be a eunuch, even if it’s one If you gnaw it out word by word, you will finish the book normally.)
Seeing Xixia soldiers rushing in like wolves and tigers, Zhao Ji's guards hurried forward to stop them.
It's just that in the territory of the Xixia people, they are cowardly and few in number. Most of them were knocked down in a few strokes, leaving only one expert who was struggling, but he didn't dare to fight cruelly.
This person is also very skilled, more than ten Xixia imperial guards attacked at the same time, but they couldn't take him down.
Just at this moment, I heard a soft shout:
"Get out of the way!"
All the Xixia soldiers retreated after hearing the sound, and immediately gave up a charming female general.
Then he saw a gun flower that was as bright as a silver star blooming out of thin air, the master could hardly react, he was shot several times in an instant, and fell down with blood.
The female general's face was frosty, she didn't even look at Zhao Ji, she waved her hand indifferently and said:
"Take him down and wait to be escorted into the Song Dynasty."
Upon hearing the order, the Xixia fan soldiers rushed forward immediately.
How could Zhao Ji have suffered such a crime?After being twisted by a group of soldiers, he screamed in pain, tearfully said:
"Forgive me, forgive me...I want to see the Queen Mother, I want to see the Queen Mother!"
Seeing that the female general ignored him, turned around and walked out, Zhao Ji was completely panicked, and hurriedly shouted:
"Don't go, general, please tell the queen mother that Zhao Ji has agreed to Xixia's conditions."
"As long as Xixia helps this king, I will definitely mediate from it and let Da Song cede the land in Guanzhong..."
Hearing this, the female general stopped in her tracks, looked at Zhao Ji contemptuously, and said disdainfully:
"You don't have to waste your time in vain, Mr. Cao... Hou Ye wrote to the Queen Mother himself, just to ask for it from you."
"Since Marquis Cao speaks in person, the Empress Dowager will not refute his affection."
Speaking of Cao Bin, she rarely showed a trace of tenderness and resentment in her eyes.
This woman is Bui Yi Xiangyun. She was originally a close female officer who did not hide Heiyun. After being abducted by Cao Bin, she stayed in Xixia as an undercover agent.
Because of the inheritance of military art and martial arts from Zhao Yun of the Three Kingdoms, she is highly valued by Wu Zang Heiyun, and now she has become one of her confidants.
Although there is no shortage of suspicion and defense, but it already has a certain amount of energy, and it has fully met Cao Bin's expectations.
From the very beginning, his positioning for Xiangyun was something that Wuzang Heiyun could have guessed. She would never have guessed that her son who was just toddler was also Cao Bin's man...
Praising Cao Bin at this time, Bui Yi Xiangyun is not afraid of revealing anything.
Before setting out to arrest Zhao Ji, Wu Zang Heiyun had told him that since he accepted Cao Bin's request, he would do his best.
At least let him appreciate his own benefits.
When Zhao Ji heard that it was Cao Bin who harmed him again, he immediately became angry, forgot about the others, and cursed:
"Cao Bin, I honor your eight generations of ancestors..."
What enmity or grievance do I have with you, you are so deliberate to kill me?Didn't they plot against your property?
Damn, it's too small, my sister is already sleeping by you, did I say anything?
Bui Yi Xiangyun heard the words, his face turned cold, and he ordered:
"If you dare to scold Marquis Cao, beat me hard."
Hearing this, the Fanbing soldiers were immediately refreshed, shouting and stepping forward, punching and kicking.
Zhao Ji was beaten until he cried for his father and mother, and repeatedly begged for mercy:
"Wrong, I was wrong, I dare not scold Lord Cao anymore..."
Before he could react, Empress Dowager Liu was very surprised. She only knew that Cao Bin led the army to defeat Xixia, but she didn't expect his name to be so scary here.
More than a year has passed since the Song-Xia War, and even Xixia respected and feared it so much, it can be called a "megatron four barbarians".
Since the Song Dynasty, even Yang Wudi may not have such a reputation.
But she also felt relieved, since Cao Bin's name was useful, she didn't have to worry about being embarrassed or detained by Xixia.
In any case, she is also the Empress Dowager.
Even if the imperial court doesn't want to see him again, it won't let the little emperor violate his filial piety, and he has no enmity with Cao Bin, so he still prefers his mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, she hesitated whether to move out her daughter and improve her treatment.
At this moment, she had already forgotten about Zhao Ji until she heard his distressed cries for help...
When Bu Yixiangyun captured Zhao Ji and returned to the palace, most of Xixia's important officials were waiting.
The Empress Dowager didn't say much, she just looked at the ministers and said:
"Now that Zhao Ji has been captured, who is willing to be the envoy of the second route and escort him to Bianliang?"
The Prime Minister of the country did not hide the truth, and Pang was a little unwilling to say:
"Is it so easy to send their mother and son back? Is it too cheap for Song Guo?"
"This kind of opportunity is very rare."
Empress Dowager Wuzang gave him a blank look, and said angrily:
"With Cao Bin in Song Dynasty, what else can you do?"
"You also know the news from the King of Political Affairs. On the first day they arrived in Bianliang, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom was whipped by Cao Bin, and he didn't even dare to retaliate."
"The Liao people still want to let him three points, how much capital do I, Xixia, have to bet that he won't go crazy?"
"There is also that Yan Yan Jing slightly planted Shiheng, who led tens of thousands of troops to garrison Hengshan, spying on my Xingjing, ready to move."
"This person is already full of tricks, and now Cao Bin is backing him, making it even more difficult..."
Speaking of this, all the Xixia ministers fell silent. It wasn't that they didn't dare to work hard, but they really couldn't.
Even Yuan Hao, the founding lord of the country, was tricked to death by Cao Bin, and then he suffered consecutive defeats and was attacked to Xingqing Mansion. They felt a headache when they heard this name.
Empress Dowager Wuzang waved her hand and said:
"Okay, now that it's been decided, don't talk about it anymore."
"Fortunately, he didn't kill them all. He has already agreed to expand the discussion field in the letter and personally collect and buy our country's green salt."
"As long as we have a good rest for a few years, we can still recover."
Xixia's green salt has a large output, low price and good quality, which is their main specialty.
As long as the green salt can be sold to Song Dynasty, the materials in exchange will be enough for them to maintain the operation of the court.
However, in order to keep its own salt tax, Song Dynasty has always strictly prohibited the sale of Xixia salt among the people. In fact, starting from Yuan Hao's father, many wars between the two countries were caused by the Song Dynasty's ban on salt.
