He Jianzhang did not expect that Queen Mother Pan would value Cao Bin so much, nor did he expect that she would be so vicious to him.
No matter how you say it, you are still a prime minister.
And in order to improve herself, she also spent a lot of effort.
Could it be that in her eyes, her own value was so different from Cao Bin's?
He is his biological son, and he is the only son in his group. If he abandons this son, he may not be able to practice trumpet at his age.
He Jianzhang wanted to plead for mercy again, but when he saw Queen Mother Pan staring at him coldly, he knew that he was powerless to change, and his heart was extremely cold.
But when he thought about the hard-won position of Prime Minister and Assistant Secretary, there was frost in his eyes.
In a person's life, there are several opportunities to reach the top of power. Now that he has just entered the center, he doesn't want to give up...
Thinking of this, he was about to express his determination when a female historian suddenly ran in and reported:
"The Queen Mother is not in good condition. The Queen Mother wants to issue an edict that she will recognize the eighth sister of the Yang family as her adopted daughter and will be granted the title of Princess Pingyang."
"We must also grant a marriage to Marquis Zhongjing based on Luoyang Shao Fuzi's "Supplement to Zhou Rites"..."
Hearing this, Queen Mother Pan was shocked and angry. She was so angry that she didn't know what to say:
"What's this bastard going to do?"
Without thinking, she guessed that this was Cao Bin's idea, or at least his hint, otherwise Queen Mother Liu would not dare to attack easily.
If no one responds, Queen Mother Liu will face even more stringent restrictions of her own.
Empress Dowager Pan thought that she was using the excuse of "ancestral etiquette should not be taken lightly" to delay the proposal of "marrying both mother and father together", and Cao Bin would only suffer a loss.
I didn't expect that this guy's revenge would come so quickly. He actually spared himself and joined forces with the old woman, Queen Mother Liu.
Could it be that he didn't know that he was most afraid of the old woman getting involved in politics?
That old woman has a sensitive identity. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Doesn’t this give her a chance to turn over?
Thinking of Cao Bin interceding for Princess Zhaoyang a few days ago, asking her to let go of her right to visit the Queen Mother, Queen Mother Pan couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Fell into a trap!
I'm afraid this guy has been holding back this trick for a long time.
Aren’t you just not allowed to marry Sister Yang? You actually gave that old woman a chance because of this matter. My son is still your adopted son. This means that you cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!
Before she could calm down, the female historian continued:
"Queen Mother, there is news from outside the palace that Prime Minister Wang and Marquis Zhongjing are going to publish the calligraphy and paintings of contemporary celebrities in the Song Dynasty Daily."
"One of the front page painters is the 'front-end king' Zhao Ji..."
Hearing this, Pan Renmei couldn't help but slap the table, stand up, and shouted angrily:
"I knew that this guy Cao Bin was unreliable. He was clearly trying to save Zhao Ji's life and leave a way out for himself!"
Queen Mother Pan was also shocked when she heard this.
She never expected that she would get such a big reaction from Cao Bin just for testing. Is this bastard a dog? Turned out so quickly!
What troubles her the most is Cao Bin's character. Once he gets angry, he will act willfully regardless of the consequences.
The key is that his movements were extremely precise, hitting his own weak spot just right.
Seeing that the two of them were furious, He Jianzhang was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands and said:
"Empress Dowager, Grand Master, Cao Bin is a bold and ambitious person. He also deliberately shows favor to the military lieutenants and generals and forms secret factions."
"If we continue to tolerate this, it will become a serious problem."
As he spoke, he said with a ruthless look on his face:
"In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of his unpreparedness, summon him into the palace, and punish him with swords, poison, and wine."
After speaking, a confident smile appeared on his face. He originally wanted to give up on his son, but he didn't expect that Cao Bin wanted to commit suicide. This was just the right provocation to shift the conflict onto him.
Since Cao Bin had angered Pan and his daughter, he did not believe that the other party would be indifferent. Even if they would not adopt his opinions, they would still be at odds with Cao Bin.
Especially Pan Renmei, who has been a military minister for many years, cannot act too weakly.
However, what he didn't expect was that when Pan Renmei heard this, she suddenly became dumbfounded, looked at him in disbelief and said:
"Are you not crazy?"
Not to mention that the situation in the court was far from that point, even if it did come to that point, he would not have the confidence to capture Cao Bin.
Once he is defeated, not only will he be attacked by his ministers, but he will also be unable to resist Cao Bin's revenge.
Now his grandson is the emperor, his daughter is the queen mother, and he is the prime minister. Overall, the situation is very good. He would do such a dangerous thing because he is crazy.
He Jianzhang did not expect Pan Renmei to react like this and couldn't help but say:
"Grand Master, there is no need to be afraid of Cao Bin. Even if he is full of courage, he can still drive a few nails..."
Pan Renmei became even more angry after hearing this and cursed:
"Fart, will I be afraid of Cao Bin? I just don't want to cause chaos in the court..."
Queen Mother Pan also showed anger and shouted:
"He Jianzhang, stand down!"
"If the Japanese Palace has not heard the news of He Zhaoxiong's death tomorrow, you should not stay in the capital."
She saw with her own eyes that the late emperor was shot and wounded by Liao people, and experienced two military rebellions. Each crisis was very dangerous, and it was only through Cao Bin's escort that he was able to turn the corner.
This was her most profound memory. If she were to become an enemy of Cao Bin, it would be the last thing she wanted to see.
Moreover, the emperor was still young and she was very insecure, which was why she wanted to conquer Cao Bin completely.
What's more, she was called by the late emperor and asked her son to recognize Cao Bin as his adoptive father. She was not really worried that Cao Bin would support Zhao Ji, but she just hated Cao Bin's irrational protest behavior.
This He Jiazhang didn't know anything and dared to come up with random ideas. If this reached Cao Bin's ears, wouldn't the relationship between the two parties be even more irreparable?
He Jianzhang did not expect that the Pan family's father and daughter would react like this. He was puzzled and had to retreat with hatred. However, he felt a little unfair in his heart and secretly thought:
"If you don't listen to my plan, sooner or later you will regret it!"
Being provoked by He Jianzhang, Pan Renmei felt a little guilty and couldn't help but ask:
"What are you going to do, Madam?"
Queen Mother Pan couldn't help but rub the center of her brows, feeling extremely tired and said bitterly:
"Cao Bin is a bastard, this bastard... Now that the matter is over, let's grant his wish and suppress Yan Ling first."
As she said that, she thought again and said:
"But we can't teach the Yang family to bewitch Cao Bin. Doesn't the old woman want to accept Yang Yanqi as her adopted daughter?"
"I will discuss with Concubine Pang and accept her sister as my adopted sister!"
When Pan Renmei heard this, she immediately became energetic, nodded and said with a smile:
"The empress has a clever plan. The two principal wives of the Cao family, regardless of their status, will definitely be at odds with each other. Let the daughter of the Pang family compete with the eighth sister Yang!"
Queen Mother Pan glanced sideways at her biological father and did not comment. She just called the palace attendant and said:
"Go and summon Marquis Zhongjing to the palace, and tell him that I have something to discuss."
The matter between Queen Mother Liu and Zhao Ji made her feel stuck in her throat, and she wanted to reach an agreement with Cao Bin as soon as possible to prevent this from happening. However, she didn't know that Cao Bin had already been invited out of the suburbs of Beijing by Princess Zhaoyang to express her gratitude... …
