Cao Bin's "Qigong Master Experience Card" can only be used for two hours.
I had no experience when I used it last time, so I used it for a quarter of an hour, and now there are still 105 minutes left.
Seeing that the emperor was so urgent, Cao Bin complained a little speechlessly.
If used too frequently, his experience card may not last long.
However, if we reduce the frequency, we have to wait until later. Now we have to give the emperor some sweetness.
So he nodded and said:
"Wei Chen has recovered somewhat, but his accumulated energy is a bit low. The officials will understand."
The emperor suddenly showed excitement, nodded quickly and said:
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, then... let's start now?"
This time, Cao Bin tried his best to save time and finally controlled the experience card time within five minutes.
He carefully calculated that if the emperor was given Qi therapy once a month, his experience card would last at least one or two years.
It seems that I have to practice qigong more intensively, so that I can learn qigong by myself without any worries.
With the "Qigong Master Experience Card", it shouldn't be too difficult to learn.
After Cao Bin stopped practicing the exercises, he did not end the experience card immediately. Instead, he looked pale and sweating profusely.
When the emperor saw this, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Juncai. Are you okay?"
Cao Bin quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, I will be fine with you."
The emperor quickly waved his hand and said: "Stop being so polite. You should take a rest first."
With that said, he quickly asked the young eunuch to help Cao Bin to rest on the couch.
Seeing this, Concubine Pang forgot that she had been demoted, and couldn't help complaining: "Guan, how can you let a talented person work so hard?"
The emperor didn't pay attention and said apologetically: "I was too anxious."
Cao Bin waved his hand and said:
"Don't blame the officials. As long as Wei Chen recovers in two or three months, there will be no problem."
Although the emperor was a little regretful, he didn't say anything. Instead, he told Cao Bin to have a good rest.
At this time, his face was flushed, and he still wanted to say something: "Call the imperial doctor quickly to take my pulse."
The imperial doctor took the emperor's pulse and said in surprise: "Guan, you have a lot more yang now, and your body is getting healthier."
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and even Cao Bin was a little surprised.
He only warmed and dredged the kidney meridian for the emperor, but he didn't know whether it was of any use.
I never thought that this method would actually have some effect. As for whether it would be able to give birth to children, even the imperial doctor was not sure.
The emperor was extremely happy to send away the imperial doctor, his face was full of joy, and he regarded Cao Bin as a life-saving straw.
Seeing Cao Bin looking weak, he quickly ordered: "Send the thousand-year-old ginseng gifted by the Liao Kingdom to Juncai's mansion."
As he spoke, he became more and more embarrassed and said:
"Juncai, your title has been dragged down by those bastards and has been reduced a lot. I can't show favoritism."
"In a few days, the imperial court will recruit young men from around Bianjing to train new troops."
"You are also responsible for one. I will personally give you a title during the competition next year."
After hearing this, Cao Bin realized a little bit.
The emperor's change of appearance may not only be out of dissatisfaction with Kou Zhun and others, but may also have other plans.
The Song Dynasty now implements a recruitment system, and there is no need to recruit young men at all.
After coming out of the palace, Cao Bin was still thinking about this matter.
Nowadays, seven out of ten of the Song Dynasty's annual taxes go to military pay. If it were changed to government soldiers, a lot of money would be saved.
Since the military system needs to be changed, do we need to change the official system and finance?
However, the emperor did not explain to him that he did not intend to get involved in this matter.
After all, his official position is not high and his reputation is not good. Even if he wants to participate, others may not lead him.
Moreover, changes like this will always touch the interests of some people, which is a very dangerous thing.
He didn't want to be mobbed.
As a general, there is no problem in training soldiers.
Just as he walked out of the palace gate, a man dressed as a servant ran over and said:
"Uncle Cao, my Duke Zheng has invited me."
Cao Bin followed his finger and saw Pan Renmei sitting in a carriage waving and smiling at him.
Just as he was about to step forward, Mrs. She came over with Mu Guiying and Sister Yang and said:
"Uncle Zhongjing, wait a minute, I have a few words to say."
Cao Bin bowed respectfully and said, "What advice does the old lady have?"
Mrs. She sighed and said:
"A few days ago, I asked the Queen Mother to act as a matchmaker, which was a bit abrupt."
"How about you just give up on your marriage to my eighth sister?"
Cao Bin glanced at Sister Yang and saw resentment in her eyes, so he didn't care and nodded:
"Old lady, you're welcome. You and I have not made an agreement, so there is no need for this."
As he spoke, he smiled and said:
"In some time, Cao will get married to the second wife of the Pang family. If the old lady has free time, you can come and sit down..."
After saying that, he bowed his hands and then followed the Pan family servant to see Pan Renmei.
Sister Yang looked at his back as he simply left, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said:
"This bastard, who cares about him?"
"He is part of a group of traitorous ministers. In order to help Pang Ji, he killed Prime Minister Kou."
"This is a little treacherous official, and he will become a big treacherous official in the future!"
Mu Guiying glanced at her and sighed:
"In the eyes of officials, there are no loyal and treacherous ministers. This time, Prime Minister Kou did go a bit too far."
"Even our family was kept in the dark by him..."
When Mrs. She saw Cao Bin getting into Pan Renmei's carriage, she sighed and said:
"Okay, don't talk anymore, let's forget about it."
"After all, he has been engaged to the Pang family since childhood. No matter how we try to win over him, it will be in vain."
"Be careful in the future. If he takes refuge with Pan Renmei... he may cause trouble for my Yang family."
"Now that the Yang family's heirs are withering, they cannot withstand the hardships. We must not repeat the lesson your father-in-law taught us back then."
Cao Bin walked to Pan Renmei's carriage and was about to salute when Pan Renmei stuck her head out and said:
"You don't need to be polite, Juncai, just get in the car and talk."
Cao Bin didn't know what he meant, but it was nothing more than solicitation.
He was not polite and got into the carriage to see what Pan Renmei would say.
"Does Juncai know the court's next plan?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said, "What does Duke Zheng mean?"
Pan Renmei said:
"Nowadays, the imperial court is poor, weak, and full of ills. The officials are interested in reforming the government."
"This is an excellent opportunity. If we can seize it, we will have great potential in the future."
Cao Bin smiled and said: "Is it possible that Duke Zheng intends to take advantage of Cao?"
Pan Renmei said: "I have been friends with your Cao family for generations. Now that Master Pang has become an official, I will take care of him."
As he spoke, he laughed and said:
"The imperial court plans to replace part of the imperial army with government troops and reduce military expenditures."
"In the coming year, we may use these soldiers to start a war with Xixia."
"So military training is extremely important, and officials also attach great importance to it. If Juncai is interested, I can recommend one or two."
Then, he smiled again:
"Also, Juncai's business is making a lot of money every day and is coveted. I can also protect Juncai..."
