Chapter 683: Poor Rizong

Shi Bin 'delegated power' like this, and Li Zong 'fished for three days and dried nets for two days', which led to more and more problems accumulated in the Great Song Dynasty, although they were all small problems, but they were so 'accumulated into a lot', which naturally made Shi Bin, a cautious person, a little uneasy in his heart.

"Xu Feng, do you think I can do this? The emperor doesn't seem to be in the trap. Shi Bin asked with a frown.

"My lord, I think you're in a hurry. The emperor has already taken the set, and the performance in front of him is just a test. He wanted to see how long you could endure. If the adult can't endure the emperor for so long, then the adult will be defeated, and the emperor's puppet will not have to abdicate. Xu Feng said, "Maybe he can use this to pave the way for Zhao Yu to ascend the throne." ”

"You mean that the emperor recognized that I would not give up power, and the ministers did not dare to do anything to him, so he simply did something perfunctory, in short, he did not abdicate?" Shi Bin asked.

After Xu Feng said this, Shi Bin immediately understood Li Zong's plan, which was to pinch the lifeblood of himself and his ministers to ensure the throne. "It seems that if something happens, this old man will not compromise, let alone abdicate." Shi Bin said viciously.

Seeing that Shi Bin was so angry, Xu Feng immediately persuaded Shi Bin not to be angry, everything has a way, especially this kind of thing is the best way.

Understand the meaning of this sentence, it has always been that it is easy to cause trouble when construction is difficult, as long as there is some trouble. So Shi Bin quickly stopped being angry and turned to thinking about how to get Li Zong to compromise.

It didn't take long for Shi Bin, a guy who is now also in a bad stomach, to come up with a 'brilliant plan'. The strategy is simple: drag. Do not sign official documents until the last moment, do not perform tasks.

As a result, there was a backlog of official documents, Shi Bin became more and more 'tired', and Li Zong became more and more 'relaxed'. Shi Bin is becoming more and more 'indispensable', and Li Zong is becoming more and more 'irrelevant'.

An illusion arose: as if Shi Bin's seizure of power was a matter of course, Li Zong was not aggrieved by the seizure of power.

On this day, Shi Bin felt that the heat was almost over, so he summoned Wang San and Li Chao to discuss the matter.

"Two virtuous brothers, what do you think we should do now? The emperor is still like that, and the ministers have begun to complain, obviously disappointed in the emperor. ”

"Big brother, there are a lot of official documents accumulated now, right?" Wang San asked.

"I'm afraid there are nearly 400 copies that haven't been approved yet."

"This emperor is powerful enough, it seems that you will not let the Great Song Dynasty mess around." Li Chao sneered.

"It's true, now the ministers have complained, but it's not enough, and the emperor has to be pressurized. What do you think is the right way to do it? ”

The procrastination trick has been used to make the ministers feel strongly dissatisfied with the emperor, but there must be some other ways to make Li Zongken finally compromise, otherwise it is useless for the ministers to complain no matter how big they are, after all, he is the emperor.

"Then something big has to happen, otherwise some trivial small contradictions will definitely not affect the throne. Even a riot of a few thousand people is not enough. Wang San reminded.

A hundred thousand people invaded the south and it was not enough for Li Zong to abdicate, let alone a riot of thousands of people? Therefore, Wang San's words made Shi Bin and Li Chao immediately not plan to think in the direction of large-scale riots.

"It seems that the emperor can't be allowed to be so free, and he must be forced to work." Shi Bin said coldly.

Forcing the emperor to work? Shi Bin's words immediately reminded Wang San and Li Chao of Shi Bin's previous incident of forcing the emperor to exercise, and the two immediately said that it was very good to do so. Wang San even said that Li Zong must review at least 150 official documents a day, one less push-up.

Hearing Wang San's method, Shi Bin and Li Chao suddenly stiffened. It is really pitiful that an old man who is almost sixty years old in Rizong should do so many things in one day, and with such a heavy punishment. The person who came up with this idea was ruthless enough.

And Wang San, who came up with this idea, asked with a smile: "Big brother, Li Chao, what do you say about my method?" Is it enough to make the old man obedient? ”

"Obedient? If you want the emperor to be obedient, you can ask him to kowtow to you directly and beg for mercy. Li Chao sighed and smiled helplessly.

"Brother Xian, the emperor is almost sixty years old, and this is a bit too much, what if I am tired to death when I am working?" Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Exhausted? It is just right for me to say that I am tired to death, but unfortunately this scourge cannot be exhausted to death. Wang San said helplessly, "Okay, what are you going to do with the eldest brother?" However, the younger brother insisted that the emperor review at least 100 official documents every day, and as for the punishment, we can discuss it again. ”

Thinking about his own daily workload, Shi Bin felt that Wang San's intensity was acceptable, because he would not be very tired from reviewing a hundred official documents a day. It would be a little tiring for Ritsune to do this, but the intensity should be just right to force him to abdicate.

"Big brother, younger brother feels that Wang San's method is good, a hundred official documents a day is not a lot, combined with the emperor's age, this strength should just prompt him to abdicate." Li Chao smiled, "As for preventing him from coping with things, the younger brother suggested letting him take a walk." It takes 500 steps to read one less official document. ”

Looking at Li Chao, Shi Bin smiled slyly: "Li Chao, I didn't expect you to know the Tao in this." Then do what you and Wang San said. As for if he doesn't do it at all, then just squat for me for two hours. ”

That afternoon, Shi Bin entered the palace to see Li Zong, and he smiled along the way, because he wanted to see Li Zong's appearance when he learned of his plan.

Shi Bin's sudden arrival was somewhat unexpected by Li Zong, and after giving the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Li Zong asked, "What is Shi Aiqing doing here?" ”

"Wechen is here to persuade the emperor to be diligent in government."

"Shi Aiqing, I have thought about it for a while, I am already old and frail, and I am not suitable for diligent government anymore, so I can rest assured that I will leave state affairs to you. With you as the pillar, my Great Song will save the day no matter what the situation. After I leave, I just ask Lord Shi to assist Zhao Yu wholeheartedly. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Zong would so directly say that he would give up his power and trust his orphans, Shi Bin was very surprised. The old man seems to be trying to exhaust me, Shi Bin scolded in his heart.

Of course, Li Zong couldn't be so wishy-washy, Shi Bin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, where are you old and decrepit?" You're obviously still in good health, and you're definitely getting stronger! Who says you're old and frail? Are they the Imperial Doctors again? If so, Your Majesty, I will slaughter them all! ”

"No, no, no, Shi Aiqing misunderstood. This 'old age and frailty' was said by me, not by the imperial doctors. ”

"I see, the minister thought that those imperial doctors were chewing the root of their tongues without covering their mouths."

When I entered the study of Li Zong, there were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, but they were used to practice calligraphy and drawing, not to review official documents. The official document delivered in the morning was still piled up at the desk without moving.

Seeing this situation, Shi Bin lost his temper and asked coldly: "Your Majesty, have you reviewed today's official document?" ”

"Kumon, I haven't done it yet, and I'm going to review it at night. It's not a rush anyway, and it's okay to slow down. ”

Of course, he couldn't be anxious, Shi Bin suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled: "The emperor is reasonable, things are prioritized, things that are not very urgent can indeed be slowed down, don't be too anxious." The emperor's health is not very good, this is a big deal, and you have to pay attention to these first. The cart before the horse has been turned upside down. ”

Shi Bin's attitude made Li Zong incomprehensible, obviously he was slacking off, why did Shi Bin admit his mistake instead? If something is abnormal, there must be a demon, and Ritsune realized that there was something strange in it, so he remained silent.

"Your Majesty, you said that if you are not in good health, how can you get better again? Is it food, medicine, or exercise? Shi Bin's face became strange as he spoke.

At this time, if he still didn't understand the meaning of Shi Bin's words, it would be impossible for Li Zong to destroy Jin and Duanping.

"Shi Bin, what do you mean!" Rizune immediately asked nervously.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean anything, I'm just thinking about how to help you get your body right." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Since he didn't know what Shi Bin was thinking, Li Zong was very afraid of 'food supplements, medicine supplements, and exercises', for fear that one would die if he was not careful. In order to keep Li Zong from thinking nonsense, Shi Bin quickly said his request: he will be in good health if he reviews 100 official documents every day.

It turned out that he still had to take the initiative to abdicate by increasing the pressure, and Li Zong understood at this time. Since this was the case, Li Zong was no longer afraid, and he relaxed his heart and negotiated with Shi Bin, saying that he would review a maximum of 60 official documents every day. How can you get Ricmune to negotiate with you on an equal footing? Without hesitation, Shi Bin increased the number of reviews per day from 100 to 120.

This change made Li Zong realize that he was only a puppet emperor and did not have the capital to negotiate with Shi Bin. So he said in a pleading tone: "Shi Aiqing, I am nearly sixty years old, and I really can't review so many official documents every day, how about you see less?" How about ninety copies? ”

"One hundred and thirty servings, one day."

"It's just a hundred copies a day, no matter how much I can't review them, it's meaningless to say that." Li Zong said bitterly.

"Your Majesty, seeing that your body is indeed a lot weaker, then one hundred and two hundred a day. However, you have a bad habit that you probably need to change. Shi Bin smiled.

Bad habits? Li Zong didn't understand what Shi Bin was referring to, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, your bad habit is to fish for three days and dry your nets for two days. I want to remind you that you have been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days for a long time. This time, if it is still three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, I am afraid that the minister will have to use some wrists. ”

These words made Li Zong's luck disappear immediately, and in order not to let his heart hang so much, he asked Shi Bin about the 'wrist'.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the minister's wrist is very simple, just like when you exercised before. Do a push-up or walk 200 steps without a document being approved, and if you don't even do half of it, then do 80 push-ups directly! ”

Such a punishment made Li Zong suddenly lose his ability to think, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

I wanted to open my mouth to ask Shi Bin not to be so ruthless, but looking at the ruthlessness on Shi Bin's face, Li Zong gave up. He was afraid that when the time came, Shi Bin would go crazy and increase the workload and punishment, so that he would really become an emperor who was exhausted to death.

Li Zong didn't react for a long time, which made Shi Bin a little impatient, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you say about my plan?" Do you need to make adjustments? ”

"No, no, very good, very good. Everything is according to Shi Aiqing's words. Rizon replied immediately.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Shi Bin will not stay for a moment longer and leave the palace directly.
