Regarding Shi Bin's plan to talk openly and honestly with Wang San and others, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi did not agree on the same opinion. Jia Ling, who was born as the eldest lady of the official family, thought that Shi Bin should knock on the side and let Wang San and the others understand Shi Bin's meaning by themselves. Sai Xishi, who was born as a bandit, agreed with Shi Bin's opinion and thought that it was okay to talk openly and honestly.

The reason why it is suggested to be side-to-side is because Jia Ling thinks that Shi Bin's practice still infringes on the interests of everyone after all, and letting them understand that taking the initiative to resign will reduce a lot of unhappiness and better maintain the relationship between the monarch and the minister. The reason why it is recommended to be open and honest is because Sai Xishi believes that although Shi Bin's practice violates the interests of everyone, as long as he treats each other with sincerity, the temporary unhappiness can be resolved with the passage of time, and there will be no barriers.

This has its own reason, and it is all sufficient, which makes Shi Bin a little embarrassed. Seeing Shi Bin's unhappiness, Xu Feng said on the side: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a way to resolve the contradictions." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes. Weichen thinks that most of the people who support the emperor's accession to the throne are reasonable, and the emperor may not care whether it is a side attack or an open and honest matter, just hint at Wang San and Li Chao. The rest of the things will be handled by them, and if they can't do it, then ask the emperor to speak in person. ”

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, Wang San and Li Chao want to play forward, let them help Shi Bin resolve part of the conflict first, and then Shi Bin himself will come out to finish. In this way, Wang San and Li Chao were used to complete the side knock, and Shi Bin reached an open and honest attitude.

"Yes, yes, Xu Feng, you are also a big brain, if it weren't for a loyal person like you to be a guard, most of you would be a famous general now. He should be a marquis, not a mere earl. Shi Bin smiled.

"The emperor praised falsely, and Weichen was just a Zhao Kuo. After all, making a plan and leading a soldier to fight are two different things. What's more, being able to be a guard for the emperor is something that others can't ask for. Of course, Weichen won't say that he doesn't care about power and wealth, but it's good to use it. ”

Xu Feng's modesty and prudence was what Shi Bin admired the most, so he smiled and said, "Do you know why I want you to be the head of the guard?" Just because you are humble and cautious, this is what I have to remind myself all the time. Okay, don't be idle, go and call Wang San and Li Chao. ”

After Xu Feng left, Shi Bin said to Jia Ling and Sai Xishi: "What do the two ladies think of Xu Feng's method?" ”

"Why do you ask again? Didn't you just think his solution was good? Jia Ling asked with some confusion.

"Yes, just now, husband, don't you really agree with Xu Feng's opinion? Why do you ask again? Were you just fooling him? Sai Xi Shi said a little unhappily.

"How could I fool him? I was just wondering if there was anything he said that could have been changed better. Shi Bin said with a smile, "If there is, please remind the two ladies, if not, it will be fine." ”

After working for a long time, I wanted to handle things more perfectly, and of course Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were happy about Shi Bin's idea, and immediately helped to think about it. The two of them think that Wang San and Li Chao are both smart people, and they only need to knock on the side and don't have to say it directly, so it may be better to leave some space for them to think. Soon understood what the two meant, and Shi Bin also adopted this opinion. Just ready, Wang San and Li Chao arrived.

"Big brother, may I ask why you called me and Li Chao here? Isn't it still a matter of rewarding everyone? Wang San asked directly.

"Exactly, in two days, I will reward everyone when I go to the court, you just need to inform them of the court." When Wang San and Li Chao were about to speak and say that they would inform the others, Shi Bin said again: "I still have something to discuss with the two virtuous brothers. ”

"Big brother, please speak."

"Now that my eldest brother has ascended the throne and become the emperor of Daxiang, I can't slack off on many things, so I read books every once in a while. Recently, when I watched "Historical Records: The Family of King Goujian of Yue", one of the sentences made me very unhappy...

From the words 'very unhappy', Wang San and Li Chao understood that Shi Bin was not acting, and was indeed very unhappy, so the two immediately asked which sentence it was.

"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. I don't really understand what it means, but I know it's not a good thing. Shi Bin sighed and said, "The birds are exhausted, why do you want to hide a good bow; The cunning rabbit died, why did you cook the dog? I, Shi Bin, was born in the mountains, and I have had good bows and lackeys, so I really don't feel anything bad about them. ”

After listening to Shi Bin's words quietly, Wang San and Li Chao were already sweating, and their legs were a little unstable. If it weren't for Shi Bin finally saying that he didn't think there was anything wrong with Lianggong and the lackeys, I'm afraid the two would have knelt down and kowtowed. It's just that even if you don't kneel down and kowtow, you are actually frightened, and you don't know what to do. What used to be a scheming brain is now a complete mess.

"Two virtuous brothers, do you know who I admire the most?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.

"Big brother, please say, little brother doesn't know." Wang San and Li Chao said in unison.

"It's Tang Taizong Li Shimin. This person stands up to the sky and the earth, Huaiyu holds Jin, not only magnanimous but also tender and chivalrous, which is really admirable. Han Gaozu's arrogance and despicability are far inferior to him, just like rotten grass fluorescent than the sky and the moon. ”

In normal times, Shi Bin's words Wang San and Li Chao could taste the taste as soon as they heard them, but this time they couldn't understand it for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that Shi Bin wouldn't praise or criticize someone without purpose, the two would really think that this was just an ordinary description.

After some contemplation, Wang San and Li Chao finally understood the meaning, and immediately knelt down together to plead guilty, saying that Shi Bin should not be embarrassed, and the two of them were willing to resign and go into hiding, just to be a rich man and spend their old age in peace.

Smart people are good at talking, Shi Bin said with a smile in his heart. However, he immediately helped the two of them up, and said while helping them back: "Why is this the two virtuous brothers? Why did you suddenly say that you would resign and go into hiding? You have faithfully assisted me for so many years, if I don't repay you well, will I still be human? Even if you can't be allowed to cut your land and become kings, you should let you be crowned wives and sons. How is it enough to just be a rich man? ”

After being awakened, Wang San and Li Chao had already deeply understood the meaning of Shi Bin's words, so they expressed their willingness to help Shi Bin eliminate his worries. is willing to help Shi Bin be a lobbyist to persuade those heroes who may have opinions.

Although the performance of the two did not surprise Shi Bin, it still made him feel a little guilty, so he asked, "The two virtuous brothers don't hate me?" ”

"Hate?" After Li Chao and Wang San glanced at each other, he smiled and said, "Big brother is willing to treat me and Wang San so well, why should the two of us hate me?" At first, we didn't understand the meaning of the eldest brother's words, but now we understand that the eldest brother wants to maintain our brotherly love, the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and not to be the villain who unloads the mill and kills the donkey. We are really touched by such good intentions. ”

These words made Shi Bin's heart very warm, so he wanted to make Li Chao the founding prince and privy envoy of Nanyang County; Wang San is the founding prince of Yichun County, and Prime Minister Zuo's decision was spoken. The two didn't expect that they could still be trusted by Shi Bin, and they were very happy, and repeatedly said that they would definitely let those heroes have no complaints in their hearts.

"Two virtuous brothers, everyone is happy when they get benefits, and everyone hates when their interests are violated. Most of those heroes hold military power, and what my eldest brother has to do is to take away some of their military power. They will certainly be unhappy, but please tell them in these days that I will never let them be humiliated by the ministers, and that it is they who lead the troops in battle, and they are the ones who will be rewarded for their meritorious service, and they will not have the slightest relationship with those who can only talk about it. And they won't do ridiculous things that emphasize literature over military force. ”

At first, when they heard Shi Bin say that he was going to go to the military power of the heroes, Wang San and Li Chao were a little uneasy in their hearts, but when they heard that Shi Bin was clear about what he meant, they were relieved again. The two then asked Shi Bin about his plans for the military system in Daxiang.

After hearing this, the two immediately agreed very much, saying that at least eighty percent of them were sure that the heroes would not complain. With the guarantee of the two big think tanks, Shi Bin smiled happily, and regardless of anything else, he directly urged the two of them to be lobbyists for him. After taking this preventive vaccination, the reward in the main hall was very smooth, and everyone was still calm when they saw Shi Bin in the inner court, and Shi Bin was very satisfied with this.

"Brothers, Shi thank you for looking up to letting me ascend to this throne, in fact, I, Shi Bin, am just a mediocre person, a mountain people. If it weren't for Brother Wang Sanxian who persuaded me to go out of the mountains to resist the Yuan and persuade me to actively forge ahead, where would I be today? If it weren't for your help, how could I have taken over the Zhao family's world? So, big brother, I thank you very much, if you have any requests, just ask. ”

Seeing that everyone wanted to come to that set of false things, Shi Bin smiled and said: "Today we are still brothers, but tomorrow we will have to be monarchs and ministers." Tomorrow you will have to do things according to the rules of the monarch and ministers, so you must seize this opportunity. And that's it. ”

"Big brother, it is entirely your own ability to sweep away Liuhe and sweep the Eight Desolations, and the brothers are willing to follow you because you have both great ambition and great love and righteousness. Now that you have won the world, we feel very fortunate that you have not forgotten your brothers. The eldest brother asked what we wanted, and I, Li Xu, just wanted to leave some wealth for my children and grandchildren, if they really had the ability, I would ask the eldest brother to promote them, and if they did, they would not have to pay attention to it, so as not to harm them. Of course, if you make some small mistakes, please ask the eldest brother to be extrajudicially gracious. ”

As soon as Li Xu's words came out, Yi Jun, Xie Qiangbing, Liu Xiao, Zhao Gang and Li Zengbo echoed one after another, saying that they also had this attitude.

Wang Yi and Li Shao said that they did not deserve such a high reward, let alone the right prime minister and privy deputy envoy, and hoped that Shi Bin would choose another meritocracy. Shi Bin didn't expect this situation, but he definitely didn't allow Wang Yi and Li Shao to leave like this. Therefore, Shi Bin came up with a 'compromise' method. said that the reward must be accepted, and the position can be negotiated, and complained that if a suitable candidate cannot be found in a short time, the two of them will temporarily take the positions of right prime minister and privy deputy envoy, and wait until they find a suitable person.

Since he is a courtier, where can he repeatedly disobey the emperor's will? Seeing that there was no negotiation, Wang Yi and Li Shao could only acquiesce, and at the same time cast a kind look at Wang San and Li Chao. Seeing this, the two also gave a kind look back.

Next were Wang Lixin and Cheng Yuanfeng, both of whom said that they could accept the reward, but clearly stated that they wanted Shi Bin to take back the military power in their hands.

The words of the two were a reminder, which immediately resonated with everyone, and everyone present said that Shi Bin should be in charge of the national military power alone, and then delegate the military power when the troops are about to be sent, so as to avoid the situation that the Tang Dynasty makes the army self-respecting.

This situation is what Shi Bin hopes for the most, and after 'thinking' for a while, Shi Bin expressed his acceptance of this opinion and made a promise: as long as everyone is loyal to assist, he and his descendants will not be Han Gaozu but Tang Gaozong. As long as you don't rebel, you will definitely be extrajudicial to you. And the families and descendants of all will be the first to be promoted.

Hearing Shi Bin's promise, everyone was overjoyed. Because they know that Shi Bin is true to his word, as long as they don't rebel, they can keep at least three generations of wealth, and if the descendants are promising, they may even be more mixed.

"Brothers, in fact, the eldest brother didn't want to do this 'cup of wine to release military power', but for the sake of the stability of the world, brotherhood and the future generations of my Shi family, I have to do it, and I ask for your understanding."

The words have been said clearly, seeing Shi Bin speaking like this, these people are naturally very grateful, and they have said that they will continue to lead the horse for Shi Bin, and there will be no suspicion in their hearts. Then the crowd drank and went home.
