"Husband, it's time to go to court."

Cao Bin was woken up by Pang Yanyan in a daze.

Even though his body is extremely strong and he has achieved great success in Qi training, he is still a little uncomfortable with morning mornings at four or five o'clock.

After changing into court clothes and coming out, I saw the second son of the Zhong family who had changed into official clothes early and was waiting in the front yard, with some dark circles under his eyes.

He didn't care, waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Let's go."

With that said, he led the two of them onto the carriage.

They were not qualified to participate in the morning court, but today the court will reward meritorious generals, and the Zhong family may be summoned by the emperor, and they need to thank them in person.

“Bianjing is so prosperous!”

Tanesaburo looked at the scene outside the car with great interest.

No matter which dynasty or generation, ordinary people's lives are not easy. It is so early in the season, and the vendors selling breakfast have already started to make fire preparations.

The streets also started to get lively.

Sesame pancakes, steamed buns, mutton soup and other foods are steaming hot, making Tanesaburo's mouth water.

Seeing how he wanted to buy but didn't dare to say anything, Cao Bin was a little funny. He pointed to a food box in the carriage and said:

"Breakfast has been prepared in my palace. If you are hungry, please fill your stomach first."

Seeing that his younger brother looked like he had no future, Tanejiro felt very disgusted...

Cao Bin ignored them and took advantage of this time to start practicing the "Guidance Technique".

This thing is very mysterious. If you have talent, you may be able to get started in ten and a half months. If you don't have talent, you may not be able to achieve anything famous after practicing for a lifetime.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

Cao Bin often uses the "Qigong Master Experience Card", and it is not difficult to get started with "Guoyin Technique".

As early as half a year ago, he could easily enter the state.

Up to now, he has achieved some success in Qigong and can meditate anytime and anywhere.

The effect of Qigong cannot increase his strength, but it can make his perception more sensitive and control his body's state in a more subtle way.

On the way back to Beijing, a book worth 3,000 points [Elementary Flying on Grass Mastery] automatically appeared in the Time and Space Mall.

He has already tried it. With the help of Qigong, he can jump up to the room and fly one or two feet.

But it is still far from the state of Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and others who can climb mountains and wade water as if they were walking on flat ground, and jump across houses and ridges with ease.

As he became more proficient in Qigong, he found that his "advanced Bajiquan proficiency" had also improved.

Could it be that Bajiquan has reached the top level and needs internal training?

Just as he was thinking about it, the coachman slowly stopped the carriage and reminded:

"Master, the imperial city has arrived!"

Entering the Tailu Courtyard, Cao Bin said hello to Bao Zheng, She Taijun and others. After greeting each other, they were not in the mood to talk, so they closed their eyes to rest.

After Master Pang became an official, he always felt a little lonely in the court.

After a short wait, it was time for the court meeting.

First, they discussed the war in Hebei and the friendship between grain and grass for a while. After a while, when Cao Bin was about to fall asleep, the chamberlain suddenly shouted:

"The soldiers who have made great contributions to the expedition against Xixia have come out of their ranks and come to the palace!"

When Cao Bin heard this, he immediately became energetic and hurriedly came out of the civil and military class with Taijun She, Mu Guiying, Tong Guan and others.

At the same time, other members of the Yang family, the second son of the Zhong family, and other mid-level officials and generals were also brought into the main hall, where they bowed down in a dark crowd.

The emperor smiled and said:

"Although this expedition to Xixia had many twists and turns, we also gained a lot."

"You and other soldiers have worked hard and achieved great results. I know that..."

In this expedition to Xixia, nearly 100,000 war horses were harvested, accounting for half of the total number of war horses in the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention occupying the territory of Xixia and reversing the offensive and defensive momentum of Song and Xia.

The emperor first praised him, then waved his hand and said without waiting for the ministers to respond:

"Declaration!"

The chamberlain beside him quickly took out an imperial edict and read it out:

"Loyal Jingbo Cao Bin, annihilated 80,000 enemies, and captured Wei Mingshan Xi, and... this is his first achievement."

"Jinjue Zhongjinghou, added Yin Qingguanglu, doctor, leading the palace to the deputy commander of the front department!"

It is easy for the Marquis to understand that Dr. Yinqing Guanglu was sent from the third rank of civil service, and the deputy commander of the front department was sent from the fourth rank.

Although he had expected it, Cao Bin was still a little surprised by his promotion to marquis.

There was originally a promotion last year, but it was Kou Zhun's plan, which was a bit of a temptation to encourage others.

Moreover, Cao Bin's own meritorious qualifications are also lacking.

Now that he has outstanding achievements and solid foundation, he can justifiably be promoted to an official position.

When they heard about this reward, those important ministers thought it was nothing. This was the reward that the emperor had negotiated with them.

The other officials were in a bit of an uproar. It wasn't that they had any objections, but they were inevitably jealous.

Cao Bin is only twenty years old this year. He has only been in the court for three years, but he is already in such a high and powerful position and has regained his ancestral title. It’s too fast!

It's just a matter of paying off the title, after all, he has his ancestral background.

The deputy commander in front of the palace was a serious and high-ranking official.

It is not only in charge of the defense of the imperial city, but also in charge of the imperial army stationed in Gyeonggi...

The second son of the Zhong family was also envious. He was a marquis. They said that he would be granted the title of marquis and become the prime minister. They had never dared to think about it before.

At the same time, I was a little bit looking forward to it, wondering what reward the emperor would give me.

They didn't dare to ask for a title, they would be satisfied as long as Zhong Shiheng was upgraded.

After all, it is not the first achievement, the reward will definitely be much worse than Cao Bin.

The female generals of the Yang family also have complex feelings. There is no marquis in their house now.

At this moment, the chamberlain continued to read:

"The Yang family has made outstanding contributions...the revoked titles were restored, and the Sixth Lady Wang Lan Yingyun was granted the title of General..."

The Yang family was stunned for a moment, feeling that they had made a lot of money.

The imperial court canceled their merits and previous crimes, and added several more generals.

The emperor was angered last time.

The three titles of the Yang family were reduced by three levels at the same time. The total is equal to a nine-level promotion. It is super large and affordable!

Yang Zongbao is still the first-class uncle, and Mu Guiying is still the Hun Tianhou.

The chamberlain added: "Zhong Shiheng is both wise and courageous, and has made many meritorious deeds. He was named a first-class son..."

The Zhong family's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Unexpectedly, they actually received a title reward, and it was not the lowest third-class...

If he performs meritorious service in the future, he might be able to make this title hereditary.

Afterwards, Tong Guan and others were awarded.

It's just that Tong Guan himself was guilty of losing his master. After offsetting his merits, he was only given the rank of a third-rank Huaihua general.

But even so, he was satisfied.

After the reward was awarded, the emperor was about to announce his resignation when an official suddenly came out and said:

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Fu Bi, Han Qi, Cai Xiang and other eight people for taking control of the court and plotting evil..."

There was originally a festive atmosphere in the court, but after hearing these words, the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Cao Bin had long expected that the New Deal would fail, but he did not expect the attack to come so quickly.

Now the Liao soldiers have not been repelled, but the situation has been stabilized, and those whose interests have been harmed can't wait to jump out.
Chapter completed!
