Unexpectedly, when Cao Bin was ordered to go out in command the next day, Cao Bin refused and tried to be humble, saying that he didn't have this ability, which embarrassed Zhao Kuangyin for quite a while.
But at this time, Pan Mei, the lieutenant, was full of confidence and said that it was not so difficult to take Jiangnan, was it? Zhao Kuangyin immediately said loudly to Cao Bin: "The so-called general, it is not difficult to cut out the deputy generals who committed crimes!"
Zhao Kuangyin this sentence is too much! Not only did Pan Mei kneel on the ground and sweat, but Cao Bin felt that he could no longer refuse. Pan Mei's face was completely broken for you. How can you be modest? Besides, if the commander can kill the lieutenant, can't my emperor kill you?
It is in this case that Cao Bin reluctantly accepted Shuaiyin.
That evening, Zhao Kuangyin called Cao to the palace in the middle of the night, drank the wine himself, and Cao Bin was as drunk as a fiddler, unconscious. The chamberlain wiped his face with cold water and Cao woke up.
At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin patted him on the back and said, "You can definitely get it in Jiangnan. Pan Mei is innocent of saying that, but you can't let him talk. "
This is simply the tone between brothers that is completely invisible. During the day, I stood up. Now, I am moved. Cao Bin is such a temperament middleman. If you don't nod with tears and promise to work hard for your brother, are you still human?
After combining kindness with kindness, Zhao Kuangyin made another move. Before the army went out, he made a promise to Cao Bin: "Reward each other for success." . Although the envoy is not a real post, he is a prime minister and a very important person. So, plus this recruit "inducements", Cao Bin is comfortable, even if the whole DaSong military forces fall into his hands, Zhao Kuangyin can rest easy.
Later, Cao Bin lived up to his mission, not only pacified Jiangnan, but also didn't kill anyone.
Great, it's time to reward after the war, and it's time to honor the promise, isn't it?
Who would have thought that since ancient times, you really lied to fools, and Zhao Kuangyin really had the cheek to swallow his words, and even made some excuses for himself: "There are still many people in this corner who are not convinced. You are a good judge, so you have good taste. Are you willing to resume the war? " Gu Xuzhi, I prefer Taiyuan. "
Ha ha! The truth is very reluctant, but with some sincerity, you are at the end of your career, are you willing to fight for me again? This position is not suitable for you. Hold it until Taiyuan is occupied.
To tell the truth, it's a little rogue, but he's the emperor, and you can only look on as a courtier.
Cao Bin "disgruntled", but returned home, only to find that the home is full of money! Officer is not willing to give, silver is willing to give, Zhao Kuangyin at first, is five hundred and two thousand glistening silver!
Cao Bin laughed and cried, and then he thought, "A good official can only get more money, so why bother to make portraits!" Being a big official means making money!
King Cao's words can be regarded as wise words, enough to wake up many people who are striving for jobs in the workplace.
Chen Jianbin version of Zhao Kuangyin
This story comes from Shao Bowen's Shao Wenlu in Song Dynasty, Volume I, Names and Devices Can't be Dummies. He concluded that Song Taizu and Zhao Kuangyin followed the ancient teachings of Confucius. Personally, I think this is to wear a high hat for the emperor. He was just cunning.
Did Cao Bin later become an ambassador? When it was, Song Taizu didn't give it to him until he died. In the first year of Taiping and Xingguo, Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, and Cao Bin was awarded the same title, and finally became an envoy.
