When they heard "BMW with sweat and blood", everyone present looked over. The "BMW with sweat and blood" was so famous that they couldn't help but wonder about Bao Ai.
The Liao envoy even asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a bloody horse in the Song Dynasty? Can you open our eyes to it?"
Seeing the emperor looking over, Cao Bin didn't feel any distress at all and said with a smile:
"In the official family, I do have a bloody horse, which I want to present to His Majesty."
After all, it is just a precious horse. It will always appear in the time and space mall from time to time. For him, it is not something that can be encountered but cannot be sought.
He is a descendant, and he does not have the extreme love for mounts that warriors have.
He wouldn't even mind selling it if someone could pay enough for it.
What does it mean to give it to the emperor? You may also get unexpected gains.
It's just that he has other concerns...
Seeing Cao Bin being so straightforward, Gao Qiu suddenly showed a disappointed expression.
The emperor had a bad impression of him since he was impeached last time, so he desperately wanted to seize the opportunity to gain a good impression in front of the emperor.
This kind of thing was already familiar to him when he was trying to please Zhao Ji.
As long as Cao Bin showed any embarrassment, he could scold him from the emperor's perspective.
With this beginning, he believed that with his own ability, he would be able to completely change the emperor's impression.
However, he never expected that Cao Bin would offer the BMW without hesitation. This was completely inconsistent with the character of a disciple of Wu Xun...
At this time, the sedan chair had already brought the bloody horse over, and all the envoys and military generals from various countries gathered around and marveled.
The Liao envoy still wanted to step forward and touch him, but he was kicked by a BMW on his lower abdomen. The pain made him grin and made everyone laugh.
In fact, many Song ministers have seen the bloody horse, but without the blessing of fame, no one paid attention to it.
Looking at it now, I suddenly felt something different. Even the emperor was attracted to it, with a look of love in his eyes.
Gao Qiu's heart changed and he sighed with a smile:
"What a BMW. Uncle Zhongjing has such a treasure? Why have I never heard of you talking about it? Is it because he is afraid that others will steal it?"
When Cao Bin saw that he was slandering himself, he shouted loudly:
"Lieutenant Gao, don't you have too dirty thoughts?"
"This horse is fierce and difficult to train, and it is very dangerous! What if I risk it and give it to an official? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
"By saying that, you not only slander my loyalty, but you also want to put the official family in danger!"
Gao Qiu didn't expect that Cao Bin didn't follow the routine and told the truth. He suddenly panicked:
"Uncle Zhongjing, be careful, how could I have such thoughts?"
The emperor glanced at Gao Qiu and frowned: "Gao Qiu, please step aside. You don't have to attend the banquet."
Zhao Zhen had already felt disgusted with him. The last time he escaped, it was the decision of the ministers, and he couldn't say anything.
Unexpectedly, he came out to act like a monster again this time. Did he think he couldn't see those little thoughts?
Gao Qiu's face turned pale: "Official... official family."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and ignored him. He just said to the civil and military officials and envoys from various countries:
"It is said that swords are given to martyrs and horses are given to heroes. Although I also like this horse, it is just a plaything in my hands."
"The soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy with the help of their sharp swords. How could I seize someone's treasure?"
As he spoke, he smiled and said to Cao Bin:
"Uncle Zhongjing, there is no need to say more. In the future, killing enemies and making contributions to the country is what I want to see most."
"But you have a BMW in hand. In the future, you can breed good breeds. Just give me a few foals so that they can be rewarded to meritorious soldiers."
Hearing the emperor's words, all the generals fell to the ground and shouted excitedly:
"The officials are wise and wise, and the ministers will swear to death to repay the country's favor!"
That kind of momentum frightened the envoys from various countries, and the envoys from Liao and Xixia had serious expressions and heavy hearts.
The emperor was very satisfied with the reaction of the generals, especially when he looked at Cao Bin with a more cordial look, he smiled slightly and said:
"Okay, it doesn't have to be like this. You gentlemen, have a drink and let's start the competition."
As usual, the winner will be rewarded with a set of brocade clothes and a pair of silver saddles.
Although the Xixia envoys won the archery competition, it was Sister Yang who came out on top in the horse racing competition.
This made the emperor very happy. In previous years, Xixia and Khitan had won the first place. The Song Dynasty rarely won the championship, but this time it was considered a face.
The Spring Festival of the Song Dynasty had a seven-day holiday, three in the first and four in the last, and there was a daily court meeting on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
The daily court meeting was a regular meeting for the important ministers and the emperor to discuss national affairs. There was nothing to do without Cao Bin.
But this time the court meeting was going to discuss disaster relief in Shandong, so Cao Bin had to make an exception and attend.
But as soon as the court meeting began, he was impeached by Yan Chasan.
What Cao Bin didn't expect was that before he and Master Pang could refute, the emperor scolded him on his behalf.
Because the Shandong travel reports submitted by the two people were very different.
Yan Chasan was only in charge of three states, but reported more than 6,000 casualties.
Cao Bin was in charge of seven states and only reported a little over a thousand.
Again, it was Zha who was the Shandong official. Most of them were impeaching Yan Chasan, and almost none of them said bad things about Cao Bin.
The third point is even funnier. Yan Chasan accused Cao Bin of embezzling disaster relief food funds.
As a result, Cao Bin did not ask the court for more supplies. Instead, he could not support himself and asked the court for money and food.
Although the Song Dynasty was rich, its expenditures were also very large. In order to relieve Shandong from disasters, the imperial court had distributed more than five million yuan in money and food, and even the palace expenses were reduced a lot.
The emperor suffered a lot of complaints from the harem because of this matter, and he just hit the muzzle of the gun.
Yan Chasan did not expect this situation anyway. He was filled with grievances and had no place to vent. In desperation, he directly hit the palace pillar.
Thanks to the intervention of my colleagues, it did not lead to tragedy.
This was the first time such a situation had occurred in court, and the emperor was greatly frightened.
Yan Chasan's forehead was covered with blood, and he still cried: "Everything the minister said is true, I hope the officials will take notice..."
Bao Zheng also spoke up at the right time: "I have also heard some rumors among the people, which are inconsistent with what Yan Hanlin said. I am willing to go to Shandong to verify it on your behalf."
The emperor looked bored and frowned at Bao Zheng for a long time. However, seeing his tough attitude, he waved his hand helplessly and said:
"Since Bao Qing spared no effort, please come and take a trip on my behalf..."
After the meeting, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yan Chasan had already returned to Shandong in a hurry... taking with him the 150,000 yuan saved by the palace.
However, Cao Bin was still enjoying his vacation leisurely and was not in any hurry.
However, he did not know that at this time, Shandong officials had become ants on the hot pot.
It was earlier than he expected.
Jeju government office.
A gentleman asked Chang Feng irritably:
"Mr. Chang, when will Uncle Cao return?"
"We emptied all our wealth and borrowed a lot from other provinces, all of which we exchanged for food."
"If he doesn't come back, we won't be able to hold on."
The magistrate of Jiyin County was also anxious: "Yes, teacher, some grain merchants in our county have begun to sell grain at lower prices!"
As soon as he said these words, everyone's expressions changed, and Magistrate Juye even cursed directly:
"Are you filling your head with feces? Once you open your mouth, won't you have to pay more?"
"At that time, even if Uncle Cao comes back, the price will not be able to come back."
The magistrate of Jiyin was not used to him and immediately scolded him:
"Mother Rinen, what can I do? Those people secretly sell grain, can I control them?"
When Cao Bin left, he left the Shandong gentry with too much confidence.
So much so that they didn't leave any leeway and went straight to the point of ruthlessness and exchanged all their wealth for food.
Many grain merchants even took out loans to buy grain, causing a backlog of grain everywhere in Shandong.
It would have been fine if the court had guaranteed the situation, but now that Cao Bin had withdrawn, it was immediately unbearable for them.
Every day they delay, they will lose a lot of money. This feeling is like cutting their flesh every day.
A gentleman asked: "Doesn't Uncle Cao have hundreds of thousands of money stored in Jeju City? Can you collect some of the grain first to relieve our pressure?"
The governor of Jeju wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"No, the guard said that no one can use the saved money until Uncle Cao comes back."
The gentleman suddenly became anxious:
"What should we do? What happened to Uncle Cao that delayed him? Is there no news at all?"
"Yan Chasan has come back a long time ago! After so many days, why should I send a message?"
"...Did he do it on purpose?"
