|||->->Chapter 695 Dali Comes to the Dynasty

In view of the favorable situation in the Hexi Corridor and Liaoning, Shi Bin's prestige in the DPRK has reached a higher level. This practice of subduing people with virtue rather than oppressing people with power made most people in the court deliberately forget that Shi Bin was actually a chaotic minister and thief. Not only did the 'stone faction' obey him, but the centrists also bowed down to him, and even many 'anti-stone factions' turned against the water and became the 'stone faction'.

Ordinary people are alive, and what they want is only the word 'fame and fortune', and now Shi Bin's fame and fortune are extremely fast. Although it is still only the prince of the country, only the king of the county, the heir king and the king will be left to be promoted, and it will not be long before there will be no seal.

Shi Bin's heart is very contradictory, he wants to be the emperor, but he is afraid of being cold and scolded in high places. The emperor felt that he shouldn't just work for the Zhao family, not to mention that the Zhao family didn't think well of it, and he was very aggrieved. As a result, he did not rest well for two nights, and by the third day he was depressed and walked frivolously.

Of course, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were anxious when they saw each other, but they couldn't figure out why Shi Bin was like this, so they simply came to ask the reason. was worried that no one had to talk to, but now that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi are here, Shi Bin is of course very happy.

"Madame, why are you here?"

"How did we get here? You're like a sick seedling, and the wind blows down, can we not come? Jia Ling said angrily.

"That's it, everyone is like this, can my sister and I not come? If all husbands are like this, and we don't see anyone, what kind of wife is that? Sai Xishi was also very angry and said, "Let's talk about it, there is obviously no big deal in the court, why are you suddenly like this?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's definitely okay after today." Shi Bin smiled awkwardly.

Of course, they won't believe Shi Bin's nonsense, not to mention that Shi Bin's ability to deceive people is not strong, and he can't escape the eyes of Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, so the two women did not give up, but continued to ask Shi Bin why he was so depressed.

Since he couldn't escape, Shi Bin said: "It's not a big deal, but I don't know what to do in the future." ”

"What do you mean by not knowing what to do in the future?" After listening to Shi Bin's words, Jia Ling asked, "Is there any trouble?" Do what you want! Anyway, the current emperor is just a waste. ”

"That is, the emperor is a puppet. Husband, isn't it up to you to do what you want to do in this court? Sai Xi Shi also said incomprehensibly.

"I am now the Duke of Qi, and then only the king of the county, the heir and the king can be rewarded, but I still have so many things to do, and sooner or later I will be crowned king. It is also possible that the brothers will be directly put on the throne, and they don't care what the county king or heir king is, but what if they make meritorious contributions after being crowned king? Shi Bin said with a bitter face.

As soon as they heard that Shi Bin had made himself depressed because of this incident, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were immediately furious. Jia Ling said that Shi Bin had nothing to do when he was full, and he was cranky. It's just a tired life, and you can't be idle. Sai Xishi is just a flat wife and can't be too unruly, so after glaring at Shi Bin fiercely, he simply left in a huff.

"Ma'am, I'm not entirely cranky. Sooner or later, husband, I will have Dali, Jiaozhi, the entire grassland and the northeast in my pocket. Once I do, what do I do? Usurpation? ”

"Usurpation is usurpation, what's a big deal. His Zhao family is Chen Qiaobing, and he became the emperor. Allow the governor to set fires, and don't allow my people to light lamps? Jia Ling was very unhappy and said, "Why do you want to go so far?" I

Look you really have nothing to do, idle. ”

"Maybe, the problem is that there really isn't much to do, and I'm a little idle." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Just thinking about how not to be idle, Xu Feng came to report: The monarch of Dali sent an envoy to ask for a meeting. Dali country? In Shi Bindu's memory, the Dali Kingdom was destroyed by Meng Ge more than ten years ago, and this envoy should have been sent by the Dali royal family.

Just now I said that Shi Bin can't be idle, but now that something is done, Jia Ling is very happy, but Shi Bin is very painful. sighed that he was really working hard, and there was no possibility of being able to relax for a while.

Because of the displeasure in his heart, Shi Bin didn't want to see the envoy sent by the Dali royal family immediately, but just told Xu Feng to entertain the envoy well, and as for other things, he would talk about it later.

Knowing why Shi Bin was like this, Xu Feng, a smart man, of course did what Shi Bin said, arranged the envoy and his party in the post house, and asked them to wait for the notice.

Five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Shi Bin has long forgotten about the matter of the envoy of Dali, and he spends the whole day dealing with those annoying things in the court but cannot but cannot be left to deal with. It wasn't until I came home one day that I found a strangely dressed person sitting in the gatehouse that I remembered the matter of the Dali envoy.

"Are you..."

"Lord Shi, the villain is a messenger sent by the king of Dali, Duan Xing." The messenger said.

"You Dali royal family?"

"Yes, Lord Shi. The villain's grandfather is the king of Dali, but the villain is a concubine, not a descendant. Duan Xing explained.

"Why did you come today? Your Dali Kingdom has been destroyed by the Yuan people, and it seems that the Duan clan has also gone into exile in Jiaozhi. Shi Bin said.

"What my lord said is true, Dali has been destroyed by the Yuan people for more than ten years, but my Dali Duan family has always had the heart to restore the country. Moreover, the Kochin royal family was very rude to us and often insulted us. That's why the monarch sent me to ask the Great Song for help, hoping that the Great Song could help me restore the Duan family. Duan Xing said very sincerely.

"Help you restore the Duan clan? It's a hard thing to do. Although the territory of your Dali country is not large, there are many tribes with inconvenient transportation, and it is not easy to conquer. Shi Bin said with a frown.

These words are not Shi Bin's coy gestures in order to talk about the conditions, but the actual situation. That Duan Xing obviously knew that what Shi Bin said was the truth, so he looked bitter and asked Shi Bin what conditions he wanted to send troops to help the Duan family restore the country.

If it was before, Shi Bin would definitely say: If the Dali Kingdom was incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty, the Duan family would still be the hereditary king, but the Yunnan Road and Guizhou Road would be under the jurisdiction of the central government. But now I don't plan to say that, but I plan to make some benefits for myself first.

"Duan Xing, my Great Song Dynasty is not strong in the perennial conquest of the country, and I have only rested a little in the past two years. If there is another war, I am afraid that no one in the government and the opposition will agree. And I'm afraid you don't know, I have promised everyone before that I will not start a war lightly. A big husband needs to keep his word, and it is not a good thing to break his word and get fat. Shi Bin frowned and said.

"Lord Shi, everyone in the world knows that you are the god of war that even the Yuan people are afraid of. I believe that as long as you lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around, you will definitely look at the wind everywhere you pass. Duan Xing smiled a little flatteringly.

"God of War? Falling from the wind? Duan Xing, you can't boast like this, you are pouring me with drugs. In this way, I believe that your Duan clan's return to the country will not be in a few days, and it will not be in a hurry. I'll discuss with the important ministers of the DPRK and China first, and then let's talk again, how about it? Shi Bin said.

"Lord Shi, this matter is indeed not very urgent, but I have to ask the Lord to give an answer as soon as possible. It's villain

Some thoughts. I saw Duan Xing take out a stack of face value of 1,000 taels from the sleeves, at least twenty.

Looking at Jiaozi in front of him, Shi Bin wanted to take it, but reason told him that he couldn't take it, and if he did, he had to agree, which would cause irreparable damage to his reputation. So he said very painfully: "Duan Xing, what do you mean by this?" My Great Song Dynasty is now rare to rule the Qingming Dynasty, and the whole country is united. If I, the prime minister, take the lead in taking bribes, I am afraid that all efforts will be in vain! ”

Seeing Shi Bin's attitude, Duan Xing didn't dare to force it, so he had to say: "The Lord is so honest, Duan Xing admires it, no wonder the Great Song Dynasty can make the country rich and the people strong under the governance of the adults." Since the adults don't accept it, the villain won't send it, so as not to tarnish the adult's name, just ask the adult to remember to tell the villain your decision. ”

"Don't worry, I will give you an accurate answer within ten days. I won't forget it like last time, and I will leave you in the inn. Okay, there are still some things to do, so you can leave first. Shi Bin issued an eviction order.

As soon as Duan Xing left, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi came in again.

"Husband, who is that strangely dressed person?" Jia Ling asked.

"Envoy of Dali."

"Dali? Wasn't it already destroyed by the Yuan people? The Duan family has gone to avoid trouble, why did they come to our Great Song Dynasty again? ”

"Xiaoling, their Duan clan can't stand the insult of the royal family, so they want to beg me to help them restore the country." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"Did you say yes?" Sai Si Shi asked.

"How can such a big national event be easily agreed? You have to consult with everyone. The key problem is that I don't want to make wedding clothes for others. What can I get for helping the Duan family restore the country? A few taels of silver are not uncommon to me. ”

Hearing that Shi Bin said that he didn't agree, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi put their hearts at ease, and heard him say that they wouldn't make wedding clothes for others, and they didn't care about a few taels of silver, and the two were even more happy.

"What are you going to do? I believe you still promised him an answer. Jia Ling knew the routine of officialdom, so she asked.

"I promised to give him an accurate answer within ten days. I don't have a specific plan yet, now that you're here, I'm just going to ask you two female Zhuge brothers. Shi Bin smiled.

"Husband, in my opinion, it's better not to support it." Jia Ling said quickly.

"Why?"

"I believe that my husband has not forgotten the promise he made before that he would not send troops for three years, and if he sent troops at this time, he would not be trustworthy. Even after this time, the husband should not start the war lightly, after all, it is my Great Song soldiers who are killed and wounded, and it is my Great Song national strength that is damaged. Jia Ling said bitterly.

knew that what Jia Ling said made sense, but Shi Bin, who wanted to continue to expand his territory, was still unwilling, so he said to Sai Xishi: "What do you think, Xi Shi? ”

"Husband, the concubine thinks that what my sister said is reasonable, it should not start a war lightly, even if the time has passed, the national strength will be stronger, and the sheng should not start a war lightly." Sai Xishi said, "The concubine knows that her husband wants to continue to expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and my sister and I support my husband." But I still hope that my husband will think calmly. ”

"There's no room for manoeuvre?" Shi Bin was still unwilling.

Seeing that Shi Bin couldn't let go of it, after Jia Ling and Sai Xishi glanced at each other, Jia Ling said: "If my husband insists on doing this, my sister and I are willing to give advice to my husband." However, there is one condition, it must not break its promise. ”

Since the two are willing to give advice for themselves, what does Shi Bin disagree with? If he can not break his promise, he can't ask for it.
