Most of the Cao family were in Hangzhou, and the Zhongjing Houfu seemed very deserted at this time.
After washing away the dust and changing his clothes, Cao Bin came out and saw Pang Yu drinking tea in the living room.
His head was wrapped in cotton and one arm was in a sling. He looked miserable.
Seeing Cao Bin come out, Pang Yu quickly pulled him aside and sat down and asked:
"Juncai, I heard that something big happened in the palace. What was the result?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, our side wins."
"What... did you do? Is it so serious?"
When Cao Bin asked about his injury, Pang Yuman said depressedly:
"Isn't that Zhang Wen? I don't know how I offended him."
"He actually deliberately tried to frame me. After entering Kaifeng Mansion, he bribed people to torture me severely. He almost beat me to death."
With that said, he opened his clothes again, showed it to Cao Bin, and said proudly:
"But I'm not too scared. When we were in Bianjing, he was still at home sucking milk."
"Now that our family has lost power, if I confess, won't I really have to be sentenced?"
"So he tortured me however he wanted, but I refused to do anything. Didn't he let me out in the end?"
When Cao Bin saw his injury, he was a little impressed with him. He didn't expect that his uncle would be so tough at the critical moment.
On the contrary, he got himself into trouble.
Seeing Cao Bin pondering, Pang Yu thought he was thinking of ways to take revenge, so he hurriedly said:
"You don't have to worry, Juncai. After all, his uncle is in charge of the palace department and is your superior. You should consider the matter of revenge in the long term."
Cao Bin himself is also a member of the dandy and 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 defeat and never ask for trouble.
Cao Bin chuckled and said:
"No need to think about it in the long term? I have already taken care of their nephews and uncles."
He briefly talked about what happened in the palace.
Pang Yu's eyes lit up and he said:
"Even his uncle was killed?"
Then he laughed twice and said with some confusion:
"You're taking advantage of this guy."
"When that kid is buried, I will definitely go to his grave and pee..."
Cao Bin was speechless for a long time, too lazy to pay attention to him, and just said:
"My father-in-law and Yan Yan will return to Beijing soon. Brother, please wait for them in my house."
When Pang Yu heard this, he shook his head and said:
"When I came back this time, I found that Bianjing was not interesting and I didn't want to stay there for a long time."
"I heard that you have many caravans going to sea in Jiangnan. Can you sell me a reliable fleet? I want to go to the West for fun."
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment and didn't know how he came up with such an idea. He just said:
"The fleet can give 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 and said carelessly:
"Brother, all I want is excitement. Don't worry, just lend me a few powerful guards. Then I will bring you some Western beauties."
As he spoke, he said with longing:
"I heard there is also Black Beauty, I must try it then."
Cao Bin was speechless, this guy had quite a strong taste.
He remembered seeing some rumors in later generations, saying that most of the bad diseases in modern times were introduced from the West. It seemed that he would have to stay away from him in the future.
This guy is more useless than me. It would be great if he could get a "heritage card" suitable for him.
It's a pity that after buying the "Death Card", Cao Bin's Danpants points were all spent.
There is only one "Shangguan Wan'er inheritance card" in the time and space mall that has not been used yet.
In addition, there is no money to buy the "Xun You Heritage Card". Apart from that, what Cao Bin wants the most is to complete the "Trapped Camp" and "Tiger Leopard Cavalry" soldier souls.
There are currently 800 soldiers in the "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry", so there is no rush. However, there are only a few dozen people in the "trapped camp" who have soldier souls...
the next day.
Cao Bin originally thought that the hanging card could only save his life for one day, but there was no news of the emperor's death in the palace.
Then he realized that perhaps the emperor had just fainted before and his vitality had not been exhausted.
At the same time, Zhongshu's imperial edict has also arrived at home.
Cao Bin also did not expect that he would be appointed by the emperor as the deputy envoy of the Third Division.
Now that Cai Jing, the commander of the Third Division, has fallen, he is the highest official in charge of the Third Division.
Compared with the deputy envoy of the Third Division, the honorary title of Prince Young Master is not important. He is only twenty-one years old now, and he feels a bit dreamy.
Not long after the imperial edict was issued, officials and generals who received the news came to congratulate them one after another.
For these people, Cao Bin rejected them all. He had just been promoted and it was not suitable to celebrate with great fanfare.
In the evening, the second housekeeper took a list and said:
"Master Hou, the officials and servants who came to congratulate you have been noted down, especially your subordinates in the third department."
As he spoke, he specifically said:
"The deputy envoy of Duzhi, Wang Fu, went to Taishi Pan's house first and came to see the young master in the afternoon."
Cao Bin nodded, took the list and looked at it:
"well done......"
Although he had no intention of accepting gifts, it was still necessary to find out the backgrounds and attitudes of his subordinates towards him.
After reading the list, he decided to transfer Zhang Dun back as soon as possible.
This person has been here for two years and his methods should be more mature.
With this person, he has the core of his power. If he uses Pang Ji to win over some courtiers, he will soon become a considerable force in the court.
While Cao Bin was enthusiastically building his forces, everyone in Tianbo Mansion looked sad.
The person who benefited the most from this palace change was Cao Bin. Wang Yanling also retained his position as prime minister, and also drove out Pan Renmei and became the independent prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall.
The most unlucky ones are Kou Zhun and the Yang family.
Kou Zhun was better off, but he was demoted from deputy privy envoy to admonishment court, and was deprived of all honors and posts.
Although his official position was reduced a lot, he was not driven out of the capital and his influence was still there.
The Yang family was in dire straits. Yang Zongbao's title changed directly from "hou" to "zi".
If they had not been full of loyal people and played an important role in the court, the title would have been revoked by the emperor.
Poor Yang Zongbao has become the smallest title again before he can take the title.
Even the missions deployed by his troops in Hebei Province have become "temporary"... I guess he will be confused when he receives the imperial edict.
In the hall, Qiniang of the Yang family was saying bitterly:
"It's all my fault that little bastard Cao Bin deceived Sister-in-law Six and I into suffering. 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:
"On the battlefield, we are deceitful. Who told us to be stupid? Who is to blame?"
"If you ask me, the most abhorrent person is Li Zhaoming. If he hadn't rebelled and forced his way into the palace, our family wouldn't be in such misery."
"In the final analysis, we should not have listened to Kou Zhun and participated in this matter in the first place."
"We are very lucky that the officials have not decided that we are treasonous now, otherwise the Hu family will learn from the past."
Erniang smiled bitterly and said:
"We have no choice. As Mr. Kou said, the young prince is too dangerous to the Song Dynasty. This is the right reason."
"Besides, we can't watch the Pan family and his daughter control the government. Otherwise, how can the Yang family survive in this Song Dynasty..."
"Even now, that heir is of Pan family blood. Once he takes charge in the future, we don't know what he will think of us."
The hatred between the Pan and Yang families was too deep. Each family had their relatives die at the hands of the other. Normally, the court and the emperor suppressed them, so they could live in peace. Once the Pan family gained power, how could the Yang family survive?
The most depressing thing is that Pan Renmei has been promoted steadily without any merit, while the Yang family has had its ups and downs, and it has never been smooth sailing.
Taijun She looked at the snowflakes starting to fall outside the window and sighed:
"I don't know what conditions Cao Bin negotiated with Pan Renmei. He is now in charge of the Third Division. It will be difficult if he joins in with Pan Renmei."
Late at night the next day, while Cao Bin was sleeping soundly, there was suddenly a violent banging on the door, and someone shouted:
"Master Hou, there is an urgent call from the palace..."
