Chapter 609: Li Xu Comes Again

Although the weather was good, Zhao Kui was restless in his heart. He knew that if he didn't reach an agreement with Shi Bin in the next few days, he might suffer. Even if you don't lose your position, the saint will gradually decline, and at that time, you may even have a status that is not as good as Wang Yi.

Of course, he was unwilling to fail like this, so although Zhao Kui was angry in his heart, he was still very humble on the surface, and only hoped to reach a compromise with Shi Bin.

And Shi Bin, under the reminder of Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, only made a deal with Zhao Kuixu and did not make any formal commitments. There is a limit to people's patience, seeing that Shi Bin is so unreasonable, Zhao Kui has the urge to tear his face with him, and he will never die.

Just as he was about to do this, he saw a guard hurriedly walking in from outside the hall, and he didn't pay attention to him Zhao Kui, but went straight to Shi Bin.

This situation made Zhao Kui a little worried, afraid that Li Zong's ultimatum to him would be known by Shi Bin. It's a pity, I'm afraid of what's coming. It was this incident that the guard told Shi Bin.

While listening to the guard's words, Shi Bin's face became better and better, and he looked at Zhao Kui slyly from time to time, and smiled quietly with Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, muttering a few words.

After the guard left, Shi Bin laughed loudly: "Zhao Zaifu is really for the country and the people, and he knows that one more day of staying in Zaifu's position can make Da Song stable for one more day." It can really be said that we have done our best to die, and it is really embarrassing for us who are selfish. ”

This counter-talk made Zhao Kui's face red like pork liver, and there was some hot pain. Although he wanted to scold Shi Bin for being rude, he couldn't open his mouth for a long time. After all, this is the villain he deceived Shi Bin first, and he did it first. Then he gradually became depressed and stopped making a sound.

Of course, you can't insult Zhao Kui too much, you can't let him be so discouraged, Shi Bin immediately spoke: "Lord Zhao is dedicated to the country Shi knows, but Shi has no choice but to do this." You can tell your lord that the two people who are the commanders general of Zhejiang must get it. However, if the Yuan people invade the south, Shi will not sit idly by, and will be the first to drive them out. There is no end to the eggs under the nest, and Shi Bin still understands this shallow truth. ”

"Lord Shi really has to get these two Zhejiang commanders?" At this time, Zhao Kui asked sluggishly.

"Yes, it has to be obtained." Shi Bin smiled, "Don't Lord Zhao know that the emperor has murderous intentions against me?" I don't want to be killed too unjustly. ”

understands that Shi Bin is not a foolish and loyal person like Yue Pengju, and he will never believe in the nonsense that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Zhao Kui asked with a bitter face.

"Lord Zhao, it doesn't seem to be much harm to you to have my people serve as the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiang." Shi Bin said, "Why are you so disgusted by my people serving as the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiangs? It seems that they are all very capable. It's much better than those corpse vegetarians. ”

In fact, Zhao Kui really wanted to say that Shi Bin might rebel if he supported the army, but this was absolutely not good. So he came to a lecture.

"Lord Shi, everything in the world pays attention to the balance of yin and yang, heaven and earth, sun and moon, men and women, high and low, hot and cold, joy and anger. The same is true in the court, it is not good for one party to be dominant. An imbalance between yin and yang will cause chaos in the world. In order to protect my great Song Dynasty for thousands of years, it is necessary to balance yin and yang. ”

Old Puff! Actually told me about the balance of yin and yang! Shi Bin slandered. So he said: "It seems that Lord Zhao still doesn't want to."

Support me? ”

"Lord Shi, it's not that the old man doesn't want to support it, but he can't support it. Now that the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is actually half of it, you and Ling Yuezhang have already accounted for half of it, which is really enough. If you control the most important two Zhejiang roads again, won't the emperor become a puppet? Zhao Kui had nothing to say, so he had to speak bluntly.

"I just want to become a puppet, how can I protect myself and vent my anger if I don't become a puppet!" Shi Bin scolded in his heart.

When Shi Bin was unhappy in his heart, Jia Ling scolded loudly: "Zhao Kui, what are you talking nonsense about this old puppet? What do you mean by 'now the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, my husband and my father have accounted for half of it'? My husband is now only a privy envoy and the commander of the guards and the infantry army, and my father is only a pacification envoy of Huainan and Huainan, how can they occupy half of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty? How dare you, old horseman, slander them like this! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Shi Bin and left the living room. Shi Bin didn't know the reason, and he was afraid that his face would not look good, so he comforted Zhao Kui and said that he would come back later.

After pulling Shi Bin to the bedroom, Jia Ling sat down to rest, and Shi Bin was puzzled and asked, "Madam, why is this?" It's rude for you to do that. ”

"Faux pas? You almost fell for that old man's trick! Jia Ling said angrily.

"Treacherous?"

"Have you forgotten how Wang San and Li Xu became the envoys of the system along the river and the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiang? One of them is that you are at odds with them, and they are already your opponents! If you follow Zhao Kui's words this time, wouldn't you not admit yourself? ”

Jia Ling's words can be regarded as understanding Zhao Kui's sinister intentions, and she is secretly glad that she did not speak easily, and there is such an alert and intelligent lady to remind.

"So what now? Zhao Kui must have been suspicious. Shi Bin asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, my lord, there is a way to solve this siege." Xu Feng said with a smile.

Since Xu Feng had a way, of course Shi Bin urged him to say it quickly, Shi Bin didn't want to hold it back like this.

"The adults will first tell Zhao Kui about Wang San's 'flirting' with his wife. Moreover, since Zhao Kui still thinks that Li Xu is an adult, the adult emphasizes the discord with Li Xu, and how Li became the leader of the two Zhejiang, which is not your proposal. It's best to be vehement. As for leaving the parlor, the fault can only be attributed to the lady. Xu Feng smiled awkwardly.

After thinking about the power, Shi Bin quickly returned to the living room. But Zhao Kui felt bad, because Shi Bin's face was like the bottom of a pot, his eyes were hot, and he looked very bad.

After snorting coldly, Shi Bin said, "Lord Zhao, you are so powerful, I almost fell into the Tao." Wang San's white-eyed wolf teased my wife before, don't you know? I have always had a conflict with Li Xu, and his relationship with me is not as close as you think, just because he is a colleague and has some personal teaching. I often have disputes with him, which you should see, not to mention that it was Wang Yi and other ministers who proposed him to be the governor of the two Zhejiang, and it has nothing to do with me. insisted that it had a relationship, but I just thought that Li Xu could support him in this position. What's more, Jia Rudao is my father-in-law, don't you know his character, what he wants to do, can I interfere? Shi still apologized for his wife for being rude just now, but please stop slandering me! ”

Although such a fierce rhetoric is a bit far-fetched, there is no obvious flaw to be found, not to mention that there is no conclusive evidence, Zhao Kui can only choose not to say these things in the end.

"It seems that Lord Shi is unwilling to work with me to elect a suitable person to serve as the new commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiangs." Zhao Kui said very frustratedly.

"I'm sorry now

Shi is busy with military affairs, and he has no such leisure. ”

understood that this was Shi Bin's excuse, but Zhao Kui was helpless. After talking for so long, there was no result, and Zhao Kui's old face couldn't bear it, so he left Shifu under the pretext of having a lot of affairs.

When Zhao Kui left, Shi Bin looked at his gradually crumpled back, and said with some reluctance: "Madam, why don't we nominate Li Xu with him to be the commander of these two Zhejiang?" ”

"The kindness of a woman!" Sai Xishi said coldly, "He was the mastermind who got Li Xu down before, have you forgotten?" Zhao Kui is too powerful, if he is not abandoned by Lizong for a day, husband, don't think about peace for a day. ”

These are all big truths, Shi Bin can only stop this ridiculous idea and wait for Zhao Kui to be punished by Lizong.

Since Shi Bin did not agree to cooperate, naturally no one in the DPRK and China dared to be the commander-in-chief of these two Zhejiang, so no matter how hard Zhao Kui tried, it was in vain. Five days passed quickly, and by the morning of the fifth day, Zhao Kui Meiyu no longer had any heroic spirit between him, and he already looked old.

The first thing the early dynasty did was to discuss who would be the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiangs. Li Zong opened his mouth to ask Zhao Kui, and what he was waiting for was not Zhao Kui's answer to this question, but a request for Zhishi.

This situation was beyond Li Zong's expectations, but fortunately, although Li Zong was stupid, he still knew the importance of Zhao Kui, and immediately said that he would not allow it. In Lizong's view, Zhao Kui is his right-hand man, if there is no Zhao Kui, he will definitely not be able to fight Shi Bin, and sooner or later he will become a puppet emperor like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Who knew that Zhao Kui repeatedly said that he was not good at doing things, his ability was insufficient, and he was sick, so he had to be a teacher.

Li Zong was anxious on the dragon chair, and Shi Bin and his family were ecstatic when they stood in the court. Although he knew that Li Zong would definitely not let Zhao Kui become a minister, judging from Zhao Kui's attitude, he would definitely not be the prime minister again.

Although a loyal and benevolent person like Zhao Kui can also use intrigues and tricks, he is definitely arrogant, and now he has been frustrated again and again, his face is dull, and he is physically and mentally exhausted. Even if he was not allowed to become a priest, he asked to be punished, at least by two levels of degrading.

Although he still wants to discuss, everyone knows from Zhao Kui's demeanor that this is his bottom line. If he hadn't given these punishments, he would probably have left Lin'an directly like Guan Yu and returned to his hometown to farm and retire.

couldn't fight the stubborn Zhao Kui, and Li Zong could only demote Zhao Kui to the privy deputy in the end, and being Shi Bin's deputy could be regarded as a kind of check and balance on Shi Bin.

After Zhao Kui's matter was dealt with, the next step was to discuss the issue that Li Zong was most concerned about: who should be the chief of the two Zhejiang.

Now that Zhao Kui, the biggest roadblock, is gone, Shi Bin naturally doesn't have so many scruples about doing things. immediately gave Wang Yi a look and asked him to promote Li Xu as the pacification envoy of the two Zhejiang.

Now that Zhao Kui is no longer the prime minister, Wang Yi's prime minister has naturally increased sharply, and he followed Shi Bin's instructions to propose that Li Xu be the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiang Ans again, and Li Zong couldn't help but think about it.

While seriously 'thinking', Li Zong suddenly heard dozens of officials in the main hall asking him to agree with Wang Yi's opinion and appoint Li Xu as the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiang.

Almost all the people who supported this proposal stood up and said their reasoning, and they insisted on flaunting Li Xu, a bandit-born martial artist, as a Confucian general with both civil and military skills and a personable demeanor.

Talking nonsense with his eyes open like this made Li Zong feel that he couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to ask Zhao Kui for advice, but Zhao Kui just bowed his head and was speechless, even if Li Zong asked him to answer, he only said that he had no opinion. The matter was so helpless that Li Zong finally had to agree to Li Xu's re-appointment as the commander-in-chief of the two Zhejiang.
