Chapter 685: The Game

Since Wu sneaked into Lin'an, Shi Bin has not been at ease for a day. At this time, Shi Bin hated the slow pace and cumbersome procedures of the Song people, and the things that could be done in less than half an hour were arranged for five days, and it also depended on whether the officials were not on duty.

He was not worried that Wu Qian would see the emperor, but he was a little afraid that the emperor would come out again after Wu Qian met the emperor, so Shi Bin planned to prevent him from seeing the emperor.

This conflicted with Wu Qian's plan, and it also made the originally calm Lin'an dark wave surge. Although Wu Qian couldn't see Li Zong, it was not difficult for Li Zong to know that Wu Qian had arrived in Lin'an, as long as a courtier said a word. Therefore, on the second day after Wu Qian arrived in Lin'an, his fellow villagers let Li Zong know that he was coming.

As a veteran minister who has been in the officialdom for many years, Wu Qian's defeat in the first battle naturally will not be in a hurry to start the second battle. I will only be fully prepared in these few days, and when the time comes, I will give Shi Bin a hard blow.

Hearing Xu Feng making a report about Wu Qian, Shi Bin couldn't help but sigh at Wu Qian's old spiciness. Every day, I go to my opponent's house to recite poems and write poems, taste piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and look like a free immortal. This made Shi Bin very helpless, so he could only order his subordinates to monitor closely.

One day, his subordinates sent a poem made by Wu Qian, saying that there was something strange in it. 'Huang Zekong is like this, and the imperial city is in vain. The secluded wall is like a ghost and a god, and the dust of the world is forbidden! ’

If it weren't for Shi Bin's understanding of what Tibetan poems are, and seeing the words 'emperor's seclusion', I'm afraid he would have really been fooled. What a bright plank road dark Chen Cang! Shi Bin scolded secretly.

After all, it is easy for a person to make mistakes when he thinks about things, and Shi Bin asks himself if he is not a Wolong and Phoenix Chick, so after thinking of this, he did not hesitate to order Xu Feng to call Jia Ling, Sai Xishi, Wang San and Li Chao as staff officers.

"Everyone, Wu Qian is really restless, and he also started to make poems. Listen, everyone, 'Huang Zekong is like this, and the imperial city is in the dark.' The secluded wall is like a ghost and a god, and the dust of the world is forbidden! 'Is it fun?' Shi Bin smiled disdainfully after speaking.

Jia Ling and Wang Sancai were quick to think and understood the meaning of this poem at once, and Sai Xishi and Li Chao's literary accomplishment were a little worse, and it took a while to see the mystery in it.

Seeing that the four of them understood, Shi Bin smiled again: "The emperor now knows that Wu Qian has entered Beijing, and Wu Qian has also begun to contact those who oppose us, and maybe he will unite Zhao Kui and Li Fu to oppose us." What do you say? ”

"Big brother, little brother thinks that Wu Qian can't cause us much trouble. Zhao Kui will not, and Li Fu will not. Wang San said with certainty.

"Really? Are you sure? Shi Bin said with some surprise. In Shi Bin's view, Zhao Kui and Wu Qian are all old ministers, protégés and former officials all over the world, although Li Fu's foundation is not as good as the two, but there are many friends. How could Wang San come to such a conclusion?

"Big brother, the younger brother dares to vouch for the head of the item, this time Wu Qian can't make much waves, and there is no possibility of letting the big brother capsize in the gutter." Wang San grinned confidently.

Wang San's performance made Shi Bin very relieved and excited, but he still wanted to know why Wang San was so confident, so he asked.

"Big brother, little brother, there are a few words for the eldest brother to think, the first sentence is called 'people go to tea and cool', the second sentence is called 'people go to high places, water flows to low places', the third sentence is called 'trees fall and scatter', and the fourth sentence is 'Dead friends do not die poor Dao'. I wonder if my eldest brother understands what I mean? Wang San said with a smile.

How could Shi Bin not understand such a simple sentence? At the same time, I also understood why Wang San was so confident.

"Husband, what Wang San said is extremely reasonable. Now Wu Qian, Zhao Kui and Li Fu are no longer as powerful as before, and there will not be a few people who really follow them. And Zhao Kui has already made a decision, as long as his husband does not oppose Song, he will not be involved at all. Even if Li Fu wants to mix, he is more than willing and not enough. So what we have to deal with is actually just a little Wu Qian. Jia Ling said with some excitement.

After listening to Jia Ling's words, Sai Xishi couldn't help nodding yes, and said: "Husband, the concubine thinks that if Wu Qian does too much, it is better to simply send him into exile, so as not to cause trouble to your husband in the court." ”

If it was an ordinary person, Shi Bin would of course not hesitate to agree with Sai Xishi's opinion and send him into exile. But for Wu Qian, Shi Bin is not so ruthless. After all, he is a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has paid a lot for the country, so he must be respected. Therefore, after listening to Sai Xishi's suggestion, Shi Bin shook his head with a smile and rejected her suggestion.

"Big brother, although Wu Qian is harmless to humans and animals on the surface, he is very restless in private, which is not good. Even if you don't want him to be humiliated, you can't keep such a guy around. Can you let others sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Wang San reminded.

"It makes sense, it makes sense. In this way, you invite Wu Qian, and I will talk to him, and I will talk about it after talking. ”

Knowing that Shi Bin would never make a decision immediately, he had to follow his advice and invite Wu Qian to come over and talk. But Wang San still reminded Shi Bin not to be too soft-hearted, and Jia Ling even asked Shi Bin to speak less and leave everything to the four of them.

It didn't take long for Wu Qian to arrive. When he entered the study and saw such a big battle, he was really shocked. You must know that the four most powerful people under Shi Bin are among them.

"Lord Shi, what are you..." Wu Qian asked with a hint of apprehension.

"Lord Wu, what's wrong with you, can we still eat you? Together, a few of us naturally show respect for you. Jia Ling smiled very 'sincerely'.

If it weren't for Wu Qian, who had been the prime minister for many years and had a strong psychological tolerance, he might have been frightened by this battle as soon as he entered the door.

"Mrs. Qi is reasonable, this is indeed very worthy of me Wu Qian. I don't know why Lord Shi called me here today? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that my husband likes the poetry of adults very much, and invited adults to ask you for advice."

Hearing Jia Ling say that Shi Bin liked his poetry and called himself to ask for advice, Wu Qian felt incredible and ridiculous. How can a warrior with no ink on his chest become interested in his own poetry? Even if his wife is Jia Yidao's daughter, it shouldn't be like this.

So after sneering, he said, "Really? Wu had heard that Lord Shi and his wife were against each other, but it seemed that it was just to make people happy, not interested in the poems. ”

"Lord Wu, what my wife said is true, Shi is indeed very interested in your poems, especially the one in the middle." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Shi Bin still came prepared, Wu Qian had no choice but to say: "Lord Shi, Wu can't help it, I shouldn't have despised you just now, please Haihan." ”

"Lord Wu doesn't have to be like this, I, Shi Bin, am just a martial artist, and no one will believe that I will be interested in poetry. Therefore, it is normal for Lord Wu to behave like this, and there is no need to apologize. ”

"May I ask which of my poems Lord Shi is interested in?"

"I don't know the name of the poem, but I do know the content. Huang Zekong is like this, and the imperial city is in a state of flux. The secluded wall is like a ghost and a god, and the dust of the world is forbidden! Shi Bin looked at Wu Qian very kindly, and said with a smile: "My lord, although this poem has a little grievance, the artistic conception is far-reaching, which is really rare." ”

The drunkard's meaning is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers. read out this poem, how could Wu Qian not know what Shi Bin was referring to? So he snorted coldly and said, "Lord Shi, Wu likes to go straight, what are you going to do after such a big bend?" Please also speak bluntly. ”

"What is my husband going to do, doesn't Lord Wu know?" Jia Ling said with a smile.

"No way!" Wu Qian said angrily.

"Really? Do you think you alone can stop my husband? Jia Ling sneered.

"You're just a loner, and even if there are people who support you, how many are there? I'm afraid I don't even have a finger! Even if you use the strength of breastfeeding, it's useless! Don't forget, you're just a Hengshan County Commander now! Wang San said fiercely.

Wang San's words made Wu Qian sober up a lot, but he didn't intend to admit defeat, he just gritted his teeth and sat silent.

"You must abdicate the emperor?" Not long after, Wu Qian asked a little weakly.

"Certainly, if he doesn't abdicate, Zhao Yu must ascend the throne." Shi Bin said, "Although there was a 'abdication farce' before, I think the emperor will not be so nostalgic for the throne now." ”

"Indeed, if you let an old man with such a weak body work for so long a day, and if he can't finish his work, he still has to 'exercise', and no one will cherish that throne." Wu Qian smiled disdainfully.

Everyone wants to save face, Shi Bin is now the first powerful minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally he is not happy to be sarcastically ridiculed by others, so when he heard this, his face immediately became gloomy.

Sai Xishi, the female bandit leader, even scolded: "Old horseman, shut up for me!" When the emperor Lao'er wanted to destroy my husband and the three clans, why didn't you talk to him so weirdly? Now my husband just wants him to do his job as an emperor, and you are just talking crookedly, what kind of thing! If it weren't for my husband asking us to respect you, you would have become a pile of minced meat under my knife by now! ”

Shi Bin's attitude was something Wu Qian didn't expect, he was a little complicated in his heart, but he still planned to work hard to keep the throne for Li Zong.

"Lord Wu, I believe you also understand that even if my husband wants to ask the emperor for the throne, it is not a difficult matter. But he still doesn't take away his Zhao family, as long as the old is scrapped and the new is established, is this also generous? ”

"Jia Ling, do you think your husband dares to do this? If Shi Bin forces the emperor to abdicate, even if he becomes the emperor, I am afraid that he will not be stable as the emperor. Wu Qian said with a smile.

This kind of verbal dispute didn't make much sense, so after a few words of argument, it was rudely interrupted by Shi Bin.

"Lord Wu, I know you're unhappy, why don't we make a game?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

Several people were arguing here, and Shi Bin suddenly interrupted and shouted to play a game, which made everyone feel incredible, and they also felt that Shi Bin was going to do something. Wu Qian had no choice but to agree.

"Lord Wu, Shi's game is very simple, I will let you be in charge of the dynasty for a month, if you can keep this government in order, I will not mention the emperor's abdication before you send you to the office. How is it? Of course, if you can't do it, then ask yourself to write a book after a month. Shi Bin smiled.

These words were like a thunderclap, and all the people in the study were so shocked that they couldn't think. However, Wu Qian's face was not happy, and Jia Ling was also carefree, they just looked at Shi Bin like a madman.

"Okay, that's it, I believe that Lord Wu will not refuse such a good proposal." After speaking, Shi Bin left in style...
