Heqing News Net Today, we are talking about the story of Cao Bin , an official from Hebei in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Cao Bin is a native of Hebei. He is the emperor of emperor Guo Wei 's concubine Zhang Guifei's nephew. Cao Bin was the confidant general of the Northern Song Dynasty emperor Zhao Kuangyin . He led his troops to defeat , Houshu , and then pacified , southern Tang , and participated in the decision-making of the northern expedition , the northern Han 2 and the attack on _span_span_span. Although in Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi during the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, Cao Bin made a mistake which led to the fiasco of the Song army, but this did not erase his achievements.
In the eyes of later historians or scholars, Cao Bin is a first-class official and a first-class general. In the late Qing Dynasty, Zheng Guanying once said that he and Han Xin and Guo Ziyi belong to the generals. And the modern scholar Cai Dongfan praised him as the number one athlete in the early Song Dynasty.
A very strange story happened to Cao Bin during the Southern rule.

At that time, Cao Bin was also the military and political officer of Xuzhou. At that time, one of his subordinates made a mistake. But Cao Bin opened one eye and closed the other, and the matter was temporarily stopped. At that time, this incident surprised many officials, because Cao Bin himself strictly enforced the law, how could he easily let go of the officials involved?
Until more than a year later, Cao Bin suddenly ordered the arrest of this erring man, then announced his crime in public and beat him dozens of times in accordance with the system.After the punishment was over, Cao Bin began to explain his behavior. He said that the official just married a daughter-in-law last year. If I punished him at that time, his parents would definitely think that the new daughter-in-law was Kefu, and it was very likely that he would divorce him. Then this daughter-in-law may also feel that she has no face to see others, and she might do something extreme.
It's been more than a year now, and it won't happen again, so I will choose to punish him one year later.
After hearing this, everyone was full of emotion. On the one hand, everyone admired Cao Bin's rewards and punishments, and on the other hand, everyone expressed their admiration for his behavior for the sake of officials.

In ancient times, the status of women was low, while officials of the Song Dynasty had a higher social status and paid more. For officials, divorcing his wife is very common, and he is not worried about finding a new wife. But for a woman who has been divorced, she may have no face to meet people, and it is very difficult for her to remarry. Cao Bin did this for the purpose of protecting the marriage of his subordinates, and also to protect the woman from wrongdoing.

As the old saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. Perhaps Cao Bin did what he did in response to this old saying! This incident showed his fairness and meticulous handling. Such an official who is so sympathetic to his subordinates will naturally win the emperor's trust and support from his subordinates. Therefore, it is not surprising that Cao Bin took the lead in important positions in the Northern Song Dynasty.
