"I didn't expect this. I didn't expect Li Tang to be that Li Meiren's uncle."
"This time he was directly transferred to the Foreign Affairs Academy through the official family. I'm afraid he came specifically for you, Juncai."
Taishi Pang said.
Cao Bin was silent for a while and asked: "That Tong Guan's attitude towards me is also very strange. Is there any other conspiracy in this?"
As he spoke, he explained the matter in Shandong in detail.
Master Pang shook his head and said with a smile:
"You were just lucky enough to defeat a group of bandits. Although the court was impressed, it didn't make you fearful."
"How can there be any talk of flattery? Don't be wild!"
Before Cao Bin could express his dissatisfaction, Master Pang continued:
"Don't worry, Tong Guan and Li Tang are just using each other, and they won't fight us to the death for him."
"This time Li Tang also compiled a book called "New Etiquette" and was able to recover through Cai Jing's relationship with the palace."
"I think that Tong Guan has a kind of innocent heart. You don't have to be too hostile. He may be useful in the future."
Cao Bin said worriedly:
"Then what should I do with Li Tang now? Can the Grand Master transfer me out again?"
Master Pang pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's do this. Tomorrow I will ask for the imperial edict to go see Na Yelu Yixian and Liu Liufu."
"I am an old acquaintance with Liu Liufu. I can help you find out their background."
Cao Bin wanted to refuse, but thinking of their unreasonable behavior, he agreed.
The next morning, Cao Bin and Taishi Pang came to the Daxiangguo Temple early and asked the Cheng of the Li Hotel to pick up the Liao envoy.
When Taishi Pang saw that Cao Bin had arranged for the Liao envoy to stay in the temple, he already guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile:
"It seems that my worries are unnecessary. Juncai is quite flexible."
"Master, be careful!"
Seeing that Master Pang was about to climb the steps he had transformed, Cao Bin quickly helped him.
Master Pang was stunned for a moment and didn't care.
At this time, Li Tang had already arrived at the temple. He glanced at Master Pang and Cao Bin, cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect Uncle Zhongjing to come up with such an idea. It really surprised me."
With that said, he saluted Master Pang again and said:
"Old Master, are you here to support Uncle Zhongjing? But you should think twice."
"The envoy from the Liao Kingdom came with bad intentions. You are of high status. If even you are embarrassed by the envoy from the Liao Kingdom, it will be a loss for the Song Dynasty."
Master Pang lowered his eyelids, glanced at him and said:
"I am very pleased that Mr. Li can take care of Song Dynasty's face."
"The juniors are shouldering the important responsibilities of the country. I am worried about it, so I can only take action personally."
Li Tang's face stiffened for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Guan Cheng had already led the Liao envoy to the gate of the Daxiangguo Temple.
Seeing countless monks and Master Pang personally greeting him outside the door, Yeluyi got off his horse and said to Guan Cheng:
"You, the Song State, are somewhat sincere. I have something important to discuss with your important ministers from the Song State."
As he spoke, he started laughing from a distance:
"Teacher Pang, how lucky you are to step down and greet me personally."
Regardless of their status as envoys, Emperor Song and Emperor Liao were considered brothers, while Yelu Yi was just the distant nephew of Emperor Liao.
Master Pang raised his eyelids and glanced at him expressionlessly. He didn't say much, but just waited on the steps for him to come forward.
At this moment, Yeluyi kicked him on the steps and fell to the ground.
Cao Bin suddenly smiled and said: "Haha, although I understand the Liao envoy's respect for the grand master, there is no need to pay such a courtesy."
Upon seeing this, Master Pang glanced at Cao Bin doubtfully, and suddenly remembered something, with a smile in his eyes.
He raised his hands and said: "Envoy of Liao, please rise..."
Li Tang was originally waiting to see a good show, but he didn't expect to see this, and he was immediately disappointed.
This incident will probably make Master Pang's reputation worse.
Li Tang couldn't help but be filled with doubts when he thought that he had also fallen when he entered the temple.
Yelu Yi's face was red at this moment and he didn't know what to say.
On such an important occasion, it was definitely a great disgrace to stumble to the ground, and it was so disgraceful that it immediately made the Liao Kingdom dwarfed by the Song Dynasty.
There were also such examples in later generations, which caused an uproar.
There are dozens of steps in the Daxiangguo Temple. When people walk up, they will subconsciously lift their feet according to the previous height.
Cao Bin was so immoral that he suddenly raised one of the steps, which immediately hit Yeluyi who was walking in front.
He would never have thought that just less than an inch away, he would lose an adult.
Li Tang always emphasized that the majesty of the Song Dynasty could not be lost, so Cao Bin had no choice but to suppress the Liao Kingdom.
Especially when Master Pang appeared, the occasion was more formal, and the effect was surprisingly good.
After that, Yeluyi was always absent-minded and a little out of state...
Li Tang was very depressed at this time. He couldn't understand how Cao Bin solved such a difficult problem.
Could he really be that lucky? Even God helped him to give the Liao envoy a disgrace?
A few days later, Taishi Pang's reputation among the people not only increased greatly, but he was also awarded the title of Grand Master of the Imperial Palace by the Emperor.
Time went by, and soon it came to the day before Empress Dowager Liu's 60th birthday.
At this time, not only the entire palace was joyful and lively, but the entire Tokyo was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.
After the lower value, Bazhenfang.
Cao Bin took the article written by Huangfu Xiaoyi, pretended to read it for a long time, nodded and said:
"Xiao Yi, your article is already very good. It just needs a little more heat to start writing."
"But you still need to continue practicing. I will give you another question and you can write it yourself."
"Call your sister-in-law by the way, and I will discuss your study breakthrough plan with her."
Huangfu Xiaoyi didn't doubt anything at all, so he happily called Sai Xishi with the question.
When Sai Xishi came out with a pot of lychee kidneys, Cao Bin had already disappeared.
She looked around for a while, threw the dish basin on the table resentfully, and was speechless for a long time...
At this time, Cao Bin was already on his way to the Taishi Mansion.
Because spies from Daxiangguo Temple discovered the conspiracy of the Liao envoy.
Since the last peace treaty signed between Song and Liao, Queen Mother Xiao no longer wanted to fight as she grew older.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty saw that the Song Dynasty had no chance to take advantage of it, so he settled down.
But since Xixia Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor five years ago and had constant conflicts with the Song Dynasty, the Liao Emperor's desire to take advantage of the situation rose again.
Especially a month ago, when Yuan Hao sent an envoy to Liao to make an appointment to attack Song, he was ready to take action.
However, it was Empress Dowager Xiao who was in charge of political affairs now. She rejected Xixia's request, and Emperor Liao had no choice.
The envoy sent this time was a close associate of Emperor Liao.
Before setting off, he secretly told Yi Xian that he must find an opportunity to provoke the Song Dynasty so that Empress Dowager Xiao could not refuse to send troops.
After receiving the news, Cao Bin had to rush to find Master Pang with the information.
