Chapter 381: Zheng Qingzhi's Instructions

The good news quickly reached the ears of the emperor who was fighting crickets in Lin'an City. Such a big happy event made the emperor who was concentrating on fighting crickets immediately stop fighting crickets, but asked Dong Songchen to show him the good news.

Although Li Zong is now forty-seven or eighteen years old, this news still made his originally sluggish appearance change immediately, and he became full of energy, as if he had returned to his youthful years.

Because the relationship between Dong Songchen and Shi Bin is also good, he kept saying good things about Shi Bin on the side. He is definitely the first capable minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will definitely be able to help Li Zong recover the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and even restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty has always wanted to recapture the sixteen states of Youyun, and the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty wanted to restore the land of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, hearing Dong Songchen's words, Li Zong's evaluation of Shi Bin in his heart was naturally much higher. Why doesn't he want to have a 'Chunyou Zhongxing'?

Therefore, he immediately asked Dong Songchen how to deal with this matter, after all, this matter is very important, and he cannot make a decision easily. You must know that today's Shi Bin is already the envoy of the Wuping Army, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, the pacification envoy of Jingnan, the pacification envoy of Kuizhou, and the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, so he is about to be sealed. If you give real power again, as long as Shi Bin has two hearts, it will definitely be a situation of separating the feudal towns. Therefore, Li Zong hesitated and asked Dong Songchen to be a staff officer.

Now Shi Bin's holy family is long, and Jia Rudao's father-in-law is a fellow party, and even Lu Wende has a good relationship with him, Dong Songchen, an old fox, of course doesn't want to offend Shi Bin at this time. But he can't be too incompetent and let Rizuma disappoint him. So he kicked the ball out and came up with an idea: the matter should be consulted by all parties, and the more the better.

It's not a very good idea, but it's right, and this kind of thing does need to be admonished, and it must not be used for one's own sake. So Li Zong immediately ordered Zheng Qingzhi, Wu Qian, and Zhao Kui to enter the palace to face the saint.

As soon as the three of them entered the study, they immediately noticed that Li Zong's appearance was unusual, because his face was cloudy, and he seemed to be both happy and worried, and his heart was obviously very conflicted.

This kind of thing is very uncomfortable in my heart, so Li Zong told the news that Zhengzhou City was taken when the three of them were just standing firm. The three of them were naturally very happy at first with such great news, but the three of them quickly calmed down, and Wu Qian's face even began to be gloomy.

Because he, the privy envoy, didn't know that there was any news of any transfer of troops in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was impossible to capture such a big city as Zhengzhou without moving tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Therefore, this is an unauthorized transfer of troops, and the crime is complicity and rebellion. If the emperor intends to punish the crime, even if the officials who seized the city can be exempted from the death penalty, the living crime is unforgivable, and they cannot escape the army and distribution. What's more, such an act is too unreasonable to take him as a privy envoy in his eyes, how can Wu Qian not be angry?

The three old foxes immediately asked who had taken back Zhengzhou City by what means, so that they could judge what method to use to deal with the matter, after all, no one wanted to make enemies. What's more, those who can do and dare to do this kind of thing are definitely powerful characters, and they can't move easily.

"Shi Bin." Song Lizong said coldly.

The three of them were immediately speechless after hearing this, Zheng Qingzhi was still sober, and immediately asked Li Zong, "May I ask what means did Shi Bin use to seize Zhengzhou?" Onslaught or something else? ”

"When someone offered the city, he went to answer it. Jia Yidao and Li Zengbo also sent troops to respond. Li Zong said more coldly.

Okay, Shi Bin, Li Zengbo and Jia Rudao, the three feudal officials, got mixed together, and it seems that they have all formed a friend. For a while, Zheng Qingzhi, Zhao Kui and Wu Qian immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and they didn't know how to deal with such a thorny problem. It has never been the law that holds the people accountable, and it is absolutely impossible to easily punish the three feudal officials who have recaptured strategic places, but it is not okay not to punish them. It will make the ministers of the court and the interior even more domineering and ignore the imperial power.

Looking at Zheng Qingzhi and the three of them with great disappointment, Li Zong knew that they also wanted to kick the ball, but he didn't want them to kick it out easily, as long as they gave a suggestion, so he kept asking.

In the end, Zhao Kui came up with the same idea as Dong Songchen: not only to ask the officials in the capital, but also to ask the opinions of officials from all walks of life. At the same time, it was suggested that Lu Wende should be sent to the north to immediately take over the defense of Zhengzhou, and that Zhengzhou should not fall into the hands of Shi Bin, Jia Nidao or Li Zengbo.

Helpless, Li Zong had no choice but to agree with Zhao Kui's opinion and issue an edict. And add one more: order Shi Bin to return to Anmian Sheng within ten days.

On the way back to Chengdu, just after arriving in Jingzhou, Shi Bin met Zheng Qingzhi's servant and asked him to hurry into Beijing to meet the head of the family. Zheng Qingzhi would never do things like this, Shi Bin knew that he probably had something important to discuss with him, so he immediately led the crowd to Lin'an without stopping.

After only two days of leaving, he met an official sent by the Faculty to issue an edict, and it took him some time to learn the true reason for the matter. Immediately went to Lin'an again, this time, there was no even a sharp point on the road.

Although they knew that Zheng Qingzhi and the three of them did not intend to murder themselves, it was obvious that only Zheng Qingzhi supported him, and the strength would not be very strong, and the main variable was still in those local officials. Naturally, he planned to visit Zheng Qingzhi as soon as he entered the city and discuss with this old fox how to deal with it.

Within four days, Shi Bin took a group of people to Lin'an, and the servants did not look like officials at all, but like a group of wealthy families who fled to Lin'an.

Of course, this group of 'rich people' will not rest, and immediately went to Zheng Qingzhi's house. Shi Bin, the evil god Zheng Mansion, is unknown to everyone, and Zheng Qingzhi ordered that as soon as Shi Bin arrived, he would be invited to the study to meet immediately, so soon Shi Bin saw Zheng Qingzhi.

When I saw Zheng Qingzhi again, I couldn't help but sigh that 'the years urge people to grow old', and now Zheng Qingzhi is already dying, and his spirit is obviously insufficient. I must see that I am all fighting spirits.

With these feelings, Shi Bin immediately had some respect for Zheng Qingzhi, and said very humbly: "May I ask why Zheng Zaifu sent a servant to call me here?" ”

"The gun shot the first bird, does Lord Shi know?" Zheng Qingzhi said very calmly.

"Shi knows." Shi Bin also replied very calmly.

"Now that you understand, why does Lord Shi still want to be this bird?" Zheng Qingyi looked at Shi Bin helplessly, and then said, "Don't Lord Shi know that you are making wedding clothes for others, maybe you will get into trouble?" ”

"Shi doesn't want such a good opportunity to recover the Great Song Dynasty to be lost from his hands, if he loses it because of fear, he will have a hard conscience." Shi Bin said very seriously. Although this is a half-truth, it is not excessive. And thanked Zheng Qingzhi very sincerely for his concern, but still said that 'even if the mutton is not eaten, it will cause a commotion', this matter must be done.

shook his head helplessly, and said that Shi Bin had no city government, and sooner or later he would cause a big disaster. Of course, this is true, but Shi Bin doesn't want to hear it. Because he now has a lot of power, he doesn't want to be at the mercy of the waste emperor of the Listening Sect.

Seeing that the reminder was useless, Zheng Qingzhi had no choice but to tell him the truth and tell him about the current dangerous situation. First, Wu Qian was very dissatisfied with his behavior; Second, Uncle Xie Fang's villain wants to crown you as the commander of Jinghu Road. Let you lead Sichuan, Jinghu Road and Kuizhou Road.

The word that suddenly came to Shi Bin's mind was 'to kill'. Commander-in-chief of the four-way military and political power, what is this concept? An absolute feudal town! What's more, there is Jia Nidao on the side, who is the father-in-law of the ambassador of the two Zhejiang provinces, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the end of himself and Jia Nidao comes. When the time comes, if you don't do it, you will have to do it. He and Jia Rudao competed with Li Zong's sandpiper mussel, and the Yuan people profited.

Thinking of this, Shi Bin clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he was obviously angry.

finally felt the crisis, but Shi Bin has matured a lot over the years and knows that it is useless to be angry, so he immediately calmly looked at Zheng Qingzhi, his former rival who was willing to help him.

Seemingly satisfied with Shi Bin's attitude, Zheng Qingzhi nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, it's much better now." However, your Taoism is not enough, it is better to achieve 'Mount Tai collapses in front and the color does not change, and the elk prospers on the left and does not look instantly'. ”

Anyway, there is nothing else to do now, what I want is Zheng Qingzhi's countermeasures. Therefore, Shi Bin thought that it was not bad to listen to this rich bachelor chanting the scriptures, maybe it was really inspiring, so he simply listened to it without arrogance or impatience.

It is rare for Shi Bin to be so humble, but Zheng Qingzhi really taught Shi Bin a lesson. Although Shi Bin was in a fog when he heard it, he was not drowsy, because he felt that Zheng Qingzhi was really helping him, and he felt a lot of gratitude in his heart.

After the end of the matter, Zheng Qingzhi asked, "Lord Shi, do you want to survive this crisis well?" ”

If it was before, Shi Bin would definitely have a bad complexion, and secretly scolded Zheng Qingzhi for talking nonsense. But now he didn't plan to do this, but replied in a proper manner: "This is natural, I don't know if Zheng Zaifu has any clever plans to teach him?" ”

"I can't talk about a clever idea, but it should work." Zheng Qingzhi smiled confidently.

Seeing this, Shi Bin immediately planned to ask. However, before the words could be spoken, Zheng Qingzhi said slightly apologetically: "I'm afraid this method will make Lord Shi lose something." ”

Lose something to yourself? Shi Bin couldn't guess what it was. However, looking at Zheng Qingzhi's appearance, Shi Bin could guess that he was about to lose a lot. So he cast an inquiring look.

"I want to ask Lord Shi, which one do you think is better, the Beijing official or the magistrate?"

"Magistrate, of course." Shi Bin said without hesitation, "The ancients said: Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. It was too dangerous to stay with the Emperor all day. ”

"I don't think so. Benguan, Wu Zaifu, and Zhao Zaifu all went through the two dynasties of Ningzong and Lizong, and they all seem to be safe and sound. Moreover, if the emperor wants to do something, his subordinates have to ask the Beijing officials, especially us. Zheng Qingzhi smiled slightly.

Shi Bin frowned, and said secretly: Who is as cunning as you old foxes.

"Lord Shi, I know that you are reluctant to give up the real power in Sichuan, Kuizhou and Jinghu South Road, and this official understands it very well. But you can't get into trouble because of this. ”

Could it be that he wants to do it for nothing? Even went on a plea and resigned some real power? This was a way that Shi Bin would never tolerate, so even if he respected Zheng Qingzhi, his face gradually became unkind.

"Okay, I won't say anything about it, I see that your face is not good, hehe. I am willing to keep you as Governor and Deputy Privy Councillor, but you have to resign from your post in the three ways. ”

As soon as he heard this, Shi Bin couldn't control it anymore, stood up and looked at Zheng Qingzhi fiercely, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zheng Qingzhi didn't seem to see Shi Bin's anger, and continued: "You seem to have a lot of capable subordinates, so you can let them take over your position..."

It turned out to be this method, and Shi Bin had to admire Zheng Qingzhi's old spiciness. If Zheng Qingzhi's method is followed, although he is tied to Lin'an by the emperor as a deputy prime minister and privy deputy envoy, the emperor can rest assured. But it is indeed a good idea to lose your real power in Sichuan, Jingnan and Kuizhou as long as you use a little means.

Then immediately apologized and thanked Zheng Qingzhi for his help. Zheng Qingzhi only repeatedly instructed Shi Bin to resist the Yuan with all his might, protect the Great Song Dynasty, and restore the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, Shi Bin agreed on the surface, but secretly apologized, he could promise to resist Yuan with all his might, but he did not guarantee that he would only be the good bow and lackey of the Zhao family.
