Chapter 406: I Have to Do It (2)

It was certain that Li Zong would summon him after this night, and of course Shi Bin knew that he had to rest well. You have to be energetic, and then you can think clearly and negotiate the terms with the bastard of the Richon. You must not suffer a dark loss because you haven't rested well, so Shi Bin fell asleep shortly after turning on the light that day.

One night later, before the time of the day, a little eunuch came to the palace to deliver the decree, and asked Shi Bin to wait for him in the study of Li Zong at two o'clock.

is diligent enough, and he actually sent someone to urge him to enter the palace so early. However, Shi Bin immediately thought evilly, it must be that Li Zong had insomnia last night, and today he simply pretended to be diligent and love the people.

Of course, he didn't say these words, but he still secretly asked the little eunuch in the hope of getting the current situation of Li Zong. Unexpectedly, it was a stuffy gourd with a strong sense of secrecy, and it wasn't until Li Zong's study that Shi Bin learned something: Li Zong was not so angry in the past two days, and it was Dong Songchen who helped say good things.

Fools know these things, and they looked at the little eunuch who left helplessly, and Shi Bin also had to admire Li Zong's ability to find such a rare subordinate.

After waiting in the study for about a quarter of an hour, Li Zong returned to the study accompanied by Dong Songchen. This time, the Li Sect feels unpleasant to look at, yin and yin. Dong Songchen glanced at Shi Bin behind Li Zong, obviously asking him to answer carefully, so as not to bother him.

Shi Bin secretly said in his heart: Thank you Lao Dong, as long as Li Zong is not too much, it will definitely be easy to say. If I don't know each other, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. As for you, Lao Dong, I and Shi Bin will never be treated badly. Therefore, he also replied with a 'rest assured, understood' look.

"Shi Aiqing, seeing you reminds me of that jade sculpture and that book of heaven again." Rizune smiled kindly.

Jade carving? Book from the sky? Shi Bin immediately remembered the trick he had played before, but at this time he had no bottom in his heart. Li Zong's smile at this time was so fake, as if he was going to turn his face at any time but would not turn his face.

It seems that as he thought before, Ritsune was very dissatisfied with his actions and had murderous intent, but he was afraid of angering the gods, so he was in a dilemma and wanted to test and tempt him. The most hopeful, of course, is to prove that the 'Book of Heaven' is fake, so as to eradicate him Shi Bin.

"May I ask what the Holy One means by this?" Shi Bin asked pretending not to know.

"Did Aiqing forget? That day, the book clearly said that you were sent by God to protect my Zhao family. And this time, you not only repelled the Yuan people, but also recovered Henan Road and Jingdong Road, didn't you fulfill what the Book of Heaven said? ”

"It turns out that this is the case, the emperor has won the award. Weichen is just a gatekeeper, and he doesn't have that much ability. Shi Bin scolded Li Zong as he spoke. Ritsune's emphasis on the word 'guardian' was an obvious reminder to him not to forget that he was just a courtier.

"No, no, no, if there is no Shi Aiqing, my throne will not be stable, maybe the Yuan people have already come to the city at this time, so I should thank you for being so loyal." Ritsune speculated with certainty.

I didn't expect Li Zong to be so good at acting, what kind of emperor should he be? It's right to be a movie star, but it's the wrong thing. Shi Bin sneered.

"What is the emperor's words, it is a big mistake for Weichen not to follow the order to return to the court on time, the emperor is grateful if he does not blame Weichen Weichen, how can he still deserve such a high praise from the emperor? You're really embarrassed. Shi Bin said 'trembling'. also picked him up and acted in a movie, so it's okay not to be rude.

"No, no, as the saying goes, the general will not be affected by the life of the monarch outside, and this fighter plane is fleeting. You have recovered so much territory for my Great Song Dynasty, how can I blame you if it is too late to commend you? If that's the case, am I still worthy to be the emperor and take charge of this country? Besides, you are still injured in battle, of course, you have to recuperate on the spot, not to mention that Lin'an is not in a hurry, you will be fine if you recover and come back. ”

This dialogue made Shi Bin feel very strange, when did Li Zong like to praise people and become a smiling tiger? Isn't he already unconscious? He refused to see him for the first two days, but now that he was so close, he judged that there must be something strange.

However, Shi Bin didn't dare to ask the specific reason first, so he could only answer those good words in a regular manner, and respond to all changes with no change.

"Shi Aiqing, there's something I want to talk to you about."

It should be the main meal, Shi Bin immediately mentioned the spirit of twelve, and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, please speak, Weichen listens." ”

"I've heard that you tore up my holy decree, is there such a thing?" Li Zong asked in a gloomy voice.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Decree was destroyed, and the King Shilang should have told you the reason. The holy decree was destroyed because of the sneak attack of the Yuanren assassins, and of course Weichen was at fault in this matter, but..." Shi Bin explained in a 'panic'.

"Shi Aiqing doesn't need to be so alarmed. No man is born wise or learned? What's more, it is normal to be assassinated on the battlefield. Exchange a holy decree for me as a pillar of the country, isn't this account still unclear? ”

If it weren't for his high vigilance, he might have understood the way of Li Zong, and I believe how much he cares for himself rather than being afraid of himself.

Since Li Zong did not intend to investigate this fault, Shi Bin was of course happy that he was so 'atmospheric', and in order to protect everything, a series of sweet words 'bombs' bombed, hoping that Li Zong would be embarrassed to open his mouth to investigate this responsibility.

"Shi Aiqing, I want to know what you think of the contents of that destroyed holy decree..." Rizumi said with a smile on his face.

A bastard, he really still wants to stick a nail in Lao Tzu's territory, Shi Bin thought hatefully. Shi Bin still remembers the holy decree that Li Zong wants to get Uncle Xie Fang to take over Jingdong East Road, as for why he didn't make arrangements for Jingdong East Road, it is estimated that he didn't want to arrange it but didn't think about a good way, for fear of stimulating himself too much.

Since it has been said, there is no need to avoid it, but Shi Bin didn't want to express his stance straightly, but said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and Taoists think that it is better to let things go naturally, there is a reason for existence, and it is right to go with the flow." ”

Li Zong expected Shi Bin to give a clear answer, but he didn't expect him to discuss philosophical ideas with himself, which made Li Zong feel a little unsure of how to deal with it.

The words are so, but they are not perfect. How can people in the world not seek improvement and progress, but just keep the old? Before, Jingxi Road was in a combat state, of course, it should be like that, but now that it has settled down, it is natural to send Neng Chen to command production, and I don't want a ruin. Li Zong said very firmly.

Unexpectedly, Li Zong still has such good eloquence, and one sentence hit Shi Bin's soft underbelly. Yi Jun and Liu Xiao, who stayed in Jingdong Lianglu, are indeed not good at production and construction, which makes him feel that things are a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, the two roads of Jingdong, even Henan Road cannot be peaceful for the time being, the Yuan people are just temporarily retreating, and they will make a comeback in a short time, and it is really inappropriate to leave two Wenchen as appeasers." Shi Bin had no choice but to talk about the possibility that the Yuan people might invade at any time.

As a result, the two were at loggerheads. After pondering for a moment, Rizune picked up a notebook from the drawer. Shi Bin looked at it fixedly, it was his own guilty plea, which made him feel a lot of pressure immediately.

"Shi Aiqing, you're right, I forgot that you have some gap with Xie Aiqing, and I forgot that there is a front-line Yuan people who may invade at any time, and I really shouldn't send him to take over Jingxi Road..." Rizume said with a slight apology. As soon as he heard this, Shi Bin immediately became happy, and was about to 'thank Lizongken for thinking about him'. Li Zong spoke again: "Do you think this is good, I will send an official who is both civil and military to take over Jingxi Road?" ”

No matter who this person with both civil and military skills is, he knows from the appearance of Li Zong that he still wants to take his territory, Shi Bin is stuck at this time, and he is really in a dilemma.

Since this question is not easy to say, Shi Bin simply came to look at him left and right, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask you a question, how can we be qualified to fight against the Yuan cavalry in the plain?" ”

Where did Li Zong, who had never even killed a chicken, know this, and naturally he immediately got stuck. Fortunately, Rijong is not a berserk monarch yet, and when he gets stuck, he holds back instead of killing people at every turn.

Seeing this, Shi Bin secretly laughed at the fact that the gutter of Li Zong capsized. So he said very seriously: "Your Majesty, it is very difficult to fight against cavalry on the plain, and it is far from enough to defend the city, you have to dare to fight with the Yuan people." As far as the minister knows, Meng Hui and Yu Jue, who dare to fight with the Yuan people, are no longer there, Lord Wu Qian cannot go out of Beijing, and Lord Zhao Kui is old, so Lord Lu Wende and Wei Chen dare to fight with the Yuan people. But Lord Lu had to defend the two roads south of the Yangtze River and couldn't pull away. ”

"Shi Aiqing, you are so knowledgeable, I don't think you have to resign from the position of governor and envoy of the festival, how about I add you a Pingbei uncle?"

Knowing that this is Li Zong's exchange of Pingbei Bo for his jurisdiction over Jingxi Road, where would Shi Bin agree? Of course, I refused without hesitation, without the slightest discussion.

"Shi Bin!" Li Zong's tone suddenly hardened, "You must know that it is taboo for you to do this, some people will say that you have bad intentions, and I will not be able to protect you at that time!" ”

It's a killer move, Shi Bin said secretly. Immediately 'trembling' and apologizing vigorously, but still not letting go.

When Li Zong was obviously about to collapse, Shi Bin suddenly said: "What the emperor said also makes sense, Weichen has a compromise method, maybe he can get the best of both worlds." ”

Since it was the best of both worlds, Li Zong understood that he would most likely be able to achieve his goal, so he immediately calmed down and asked Shi Bin to say this method.

In order to make Li Zong more comfortable, Shi Bin first said what was beneficial to Li Zong: please ask Li Zong to send a suitable person to Jingdong East Road to preside over all the work.

Sure enough, Li Zong was immediately overjoyed when he heard the news, which meant that Shi Bin took the initiative to give up power all the way, which was a good thing that he couldn't ask for.

Since Li Zong was happy, he naturally wouldn't stop Shi Bin's mouth, and then Shi Bin took the opportunity to say: "As for the pacification envoy on Jingxi Road, it is still assigned by Weichen, so that it is convenient to defend the old capital and Zhengzhou, a strategic place, and as for the transfer envoy, he will be dispatched by the emperor." However, it is better not to thank Uncle Fang, that is not conducive to cooperation and resistance to the Yuan people. ”

This method made Rizune feel a little more comfortable, but he still felt less pleasant. Who told himself not only not to agree to Shi Bin's resignation at the beginning, but also to add him to Pingbeibo?

At this time, Shi Bin's mind turned violently, the matter should be over at this point, and it can be reluctantly over, so is there still any need to present those 5,000 rare Mongolian horses? Because if he repeatedly insisted on resigning from the governor's political affairs and the envoy of the Wuping army, even if he didn't offer those 5,000 good horses, Li Zong should still be comfortable and would not resent him.

But looking at Li Zong's painful appearance, Shi Bin didn't plan to take this risk, anyway, it would be difficult for him to raise five thousand horses, so he said generously: "Your Majesty, the minister has forgotten a major event. ”

Anything else? Li Zong's face was unhappy, what had happened before had made him very uncomfortable, and now that something big had happened, of course he was even more unhappy.

"Your Majesty, it's a great thing at this time, it just depends on whether the emperor wants it or not." Shi Bin smiled weirdly.

This kind of laughter is actually a bit rude, and Li Zong doesn't like it very much. But Shi Bin must have relied on him if he dared to laugh like this, so Li Zong ordered Shi Bin to quickly tell this great thing.

And Shi Bin didn't bother to say the numbers stupidly, so that Li Zong realized the value of these horses, and used this value to calm the resentment in his heart. Of course, you can't deliberately play Lizong, so I started to popularize science with him.

"Your Majesty, what our foot soldiers are most afraid of is the Yuan cavalry. Although we have horses to the south, they are very thin and not suitable for cavalry mounts. The northern horses are all tall and strong, and almost all of them are suitable for cavalry mounts, especially the most suitable for the Yuan people. Therefore, the Yuan people can come to plunder and bully us without scruples. ”

Li Zong didn't know the type of horse, he only knew that he was riding a bloody horse. But since it is said that Ma and Shi Bin said that it is a good thing, it must be related to it. Then he talked about the cavalry, and Li Zong became even more interested and listened carefully.

Of course, Shi Bin, such a good listener, would not let it go, and encouraged: "Weichen thinks that if the emperor can form a cavalry unit under your direct command, then he will no longer be afraid of the Yuan people attacking." Even if the Yuan people fight near Lin'an, you will definitely dare to drive the expedition and fight against those Yuan people! ”

After years of nesting in the palace, and receiving urgent military reports from the border defense every now and then, Li Zong has long been irritable, why doesn't he want to be a hero on the battlefield? Now that Shi Bin is actually possible to help himself build a cavalry unit directly under him, how can Li Zong not be overjoyed?

"Shi Aiqing, could it be that you have a lot of good horses in your hands?" Rizumi asked impatiently.

"Not much, not much, but it should be enough for the emperor to form five battalions of cavalry."

"Five battalions?" Li Zong laughed even more when he heard this.

But in the middle of the laugh, Rizong stopped, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short. Li Zong thought that if he received Shi Bin's 5,000 horses, would the personnel arrangement of Jingdong and Jingdong Road suffer a loss?

Knowing what Li Zong was thinking, Shi Bin rushed ahead and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the minister willingly handed over to you, as long as you believe in Wei Chen." As for Jingdong Luchen or handing over power, Jingdong and Xilu only need to appease the envoy, as long as Uncle Xie Fang is not on Jingdong and Xixi Road. ”

Since Shi Bin was so happy, Li Zong couldn't be too stingy, and immediately issued an order: Shi Bin was appointed as the governor of the council, the deputy envoy of the privy council, the envoy of the Wuping Army, the direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and the official of Fengping Beibo.

Wu Qian is the general commander of Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road transfer envoy.

Liu Xiao served as the pacification envoy of Jingxi Road, Yi Jun served as the transport envoy of Henan Road, and Li Ergou served as the pacification envoy of Henan Road. Li Zong is a very well-cultivated emperor, and he doesn't like the name Li Ergou, so he also rewarded Li Ergou with a name - Li Xu.
