|||->-> Chapter 675 Seclusion

This conversation with Li Zong was not happy, but Shi Bin was very satisfied, not for anything else, but for himself to once again find out what Li Zong was thinking - seize every opportunity, do everything possible to cut his military power, and break his own strong branch.

Back at the mansion, Shi Bin returned to the study with a happy face and carefully thought about how to deal with the next thing. Continue to monopolize the court with Li Zongxu and the snake, or will Li Zong be imprisoned and not even see his courtiers, or will he simply force him to abdicate and support an obedient emperor?

Knowing that Shi Bin had returned home, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately came running. was about to ask, but Shi Bin smiled and said, "Two ladies, thank you for the reminder, but I don't want to talk about this now, but I want to ask you, what will a person like Li Zong do if he feels a crisis." ”

This question is very practical and closely related to the current situation, so we must think carefully about it. Therefore, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi didn't mind that Shi Bin didn't tell them the current situation, but thought about the question raised by Shi Bin.

It didn't take long for Sai Xi Shi to speak first: "If it were me, I would definitely rise up and resist, and I would not sit still." However, if it were Rizuma, in this situation, he would most likely choose to wait and look for an opportunity to rebel, rather than immediately rise up and resist. ”

The slave family agreed with Xi Shi's opinion that although the emperor had a sense of crisis, his sense of crisis came from being deprived of power, not from a threat to his life. Therefore, he should not choose to burn the jade, but should choose to hibernate, secretly contact the forces against his husband as before, and wait for the opportunity to make a move. Jia Ling nodded and said.

"How dare he do that? Aren't you afraid I'll kill him? Shi Bin asked unwillingly.

"Don't be afraid. Because you are a face-saving person, you will not risk the world's condemnation to kill the king. Once you kill the king, you will ruin the reputation you have accumulated so hard and become the enemy of the world. The only thing he's afraid of is being imprisoned or being forced to abdicate. But now he is actually a puppet emperor and has no real power, so the wisest thing to do is to lie dormant and come secretly. Jia Ling continued.

After listening to the words of Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, Shi Bin was even more confused. Because in the imperial study before, Rimune was not dormant, but wanted to cut his military power again.

"It seems that Risune is a lot more stupid than you." Shi Bin said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were puzzled and asked in unison.

"Just now in the Imperial Study, Rijong wanted to cut my military power again, saying that it was time for the military generals to be transferred, and since there would be no more war in the short term, they should be transferred. In order to appease my displeasure, he said that ordinary generals could have direct armies ranging from 500 to 1,000. And my generals and I can master a little more, 5,000 to 10,000. ”

"He's smart and stupid, but in general it's doing more harm than good. The cleverness lies in the fact that the generals are not even allowed to have more than ten guards before, and if this decree is carried out, the generals can allow 500 to 1,000 direct troops, which will definitely attract many neutrals. Stupidity shouldn't be brought up right now to make you wary. But it can also be seen that he is not reconciled. ”

"In that case, I'm going to be more careful, tell me what is best for me to do? It seems that Rishu is not going to rest on his laurels. Shi Bin smiled.

Sai Xi Shi first proposed to force the emperor to abdicate and support an obedient new emperor, preferably mentally retarded. Jia Ling proposed to imprison the emperor so that the ministers could never see him again

He truly became a caged bird and a turtle in an urn.

Shi Bin appreciates both of these suggestions, because they are both feasible, but they require a common premise - a very appropriate excuse must be found, otherwise it will not work. Relatively speaking, it is a little more difficult to implement the suggestion made by Sai Xishi, and it is not easy to establish a mentally handicapped prince as an emperor.

"Isn't it a bit of trouble to set up a new king?" Shi Bin asked.

"It's not a hassle to set up another king, it's just a bit of trouble to pick a suitable one. However, it is more troublesome to imprison the emperor, so you must always be on guard against him. The new monarch has no foundation, so there is no need to worry too much about him uniting with other courtiers against his husband, and the current emperor must guard against this. ”

"You all have your own reasons, don't make a decision in advance, and secretly investigate to see if the attitude of the government and the opposition towards the current emperor and whether there are people in the imperial family who meet our requirements."

No matter how hidden this kind of thing is, there is no impermeable wall in the world, it didn't take long for some people to notice it, and they also knew Shi Bin's plans.

One day after the dynasty was dispersed, not long after Shi Bin returned to the mansion, Wang Yi and Li Shao came to visit. The sudden arrival of the two made Shi Bin a little surprised, he didn't call them over, and there was no trouble in the government and the opposition recently, what are they doing here?

"My lord, why did you do that?" As soon as Li Shao met, he said to Shi Bin without a head.

"Do that? How? Li Shao, what did you say? Shi Bin asked confusedly.

"My lord, how can you privately order someone to inquire about the attitude of the government and the opposition towards the emperor?" Li Shao said anxiously, "This is too dangerous!" ”

"Danger? What's the danger about this? I'm just asking about it, or I'm asking privately, and it won't cause any uproar. ”

"My lord, those officials have a better sense of smell than dogs, and as soon as they know this, they immediately understand what you are going to do. In the eyes of the lower officials, the uproar is not a big deal, and the adults will definitely be able to suppress it, but the undercurrent is very dangerous, and the adults should be careful of capsizing in the gutter. ”

Li Shao's words made Shi Bin realize that he had made a mistake, and the people being questioned were all a bunch of old foxes, so how could they easily tell the truth? Isn't this a revelation of one's bad intentions to the world?

"What then? It's all already asked. Shi Bin was also a little anxious.

"Don't worry, my lord, when I came, Lord Wang and I had already thought of a solution for my lord." Li Shao said very calmly, "Lord Wang, please speak." ”

"Good. My lord, we have three strategies: upper, middle and lower. The best policy is to say that the lord and the emperor discussed it together, and they all wanted to know what the people of the world thought of the emperor. This blurs the perception and makes it impossible to determine whose meaning it is, but it is a bit of a cover-up. The middle strategy is to push this inquiry on the emperor's head, so that everyone thinks that this is what the emperor means. The advantage is that the adults completely dissociate themselves from this matter, and the disadvantage is that it increases the emperor's good name. The next strategy is that the adults admit that they did it themselves, but the purpose is good, it is to let the emperor know what he is wrong and play a spur role. Although this can help adults get rid of embarrassment, no matter what adults want to do to the emperor in the future, it will be a lot of trouble. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin said that it might be best to use the best strategy to blur the audio-visual.

Such a turmoil finally passed peacefully, but Shi Bin was unwilling, he found that although he controlled the court situation on the surface, there were still many anti-stone factions in secret, otherwise Wang Yi and Li Shao would not be so flustered. So a few days later, Shi Bin summoned Wang Yi and Li Shao to the mansion to discuss things.

"Two, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I hate the current emperor very much

。 Shi Bin said with a cold face.

"Understood." Wang Yi nodded.

"Yes, I understand that too. The emperor was a little confused. Li Shao also nodded approvingly.

"So I don't want him to have another chance to disturb Da Song."

Don't let Li Zong have a chance to disturb the Great Song Dynasty? If these words were said in other people's mouths, Wang Yi and Li Shao would definitely scold them regardless of their official status. But in front of Shi Bin, they won't, because Shi Bin is qualified to say so, and he has the strength to say so.

It's just that because I don't understand the specific meaning of this sentence, I can only infer it through the investigation that Shi Bin sent someone to do privately before-Shi Bin wants to abolish the emperor. Both of them were cautious people, and they didn't speak for a while, and they didn't dare to take the initiative to speak.

Seeing this, Shi Bin smiled: "Are you afraid that I want to do something excessive?" I wanted to do something, but I didn't cross the line. ”

Didn't cross the line? This sentence made Wang Yi and Li Shao feel at ease, as long as they didn't cross the bottom line, the world would not be in chaos.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to simply abolish the emperor and set up a new monarch, but I also want to imprison the emperor and control the court situation with the two." Shi Bin said.

These words made Wang Yi and Li Shao panic, but they were also excited. Abolishing the old and establishing the new and imprisoning the emperor are both big crimes, but who doesn't want to control the situation? Even being the deputy of the powerful minister is very enviable.

"Tell me about it, I'm going to do it, it's just a matter of time." Shi Bin said with great certainty.

"My lord, the lower officials think that you had better not abolish the old and create the new, it is enough to imprison the emperor."

Shi Bin was not satisfied with Wang Yi's answer, so he turned his head to Li Shao. But he didn't expect Li Shao to have such an opinion, Shi Bin was puzzled, so he asked the reason.

"My lord, the abolition of the emperor is a big thing, if the emperor has not committed the great crime of shaking the country, it cannot be abolished, otherwise it is a clear rebellion, and the world may be in chaos. And today's emperor not only restored the former glory of the Great Song Dynasty, but even recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is definitely a great contribution to Sheji. It must have stabilized the national foundation rather than shaking it, and how can this be abolished? Wang Yi explained solemnly.

The emperor has recovered the land? Slippery world! Shi Bin's face was flushed with anger when he heard Wang Yi's words.

Seeing Shi Bin's dissatisfaction, Wang Yi immediately said: "My lord, everyone knows that almost all the battles to recover the land are fought by adults, and in fact, they have nothing to do with the emperor. But at least the emperor appointed the adults, and the adults had this opportunity. The emperor supported the adults, and the adults could make this great achievement. In other words, the restoration of the former glory of the Great Song Dynasty also played a big role. If the emperor didn't appoint or support the adults at all, everything wouldn't be the way it is now. ”

This time, Shi Bin understood the matter thoroughly and knew why he couldn't abolish the emperor for the time being.

"And the confinement?"

"Yes, sir. At most, it's a solitary confinement, and it's better not to do anything else. It's too sensitive to do it now. Wang Yi nodded.

"My lord, if you really don't like the current emperor, Lord Wang and I are willing to help you find a way to abolish the old and establish the new, but please don't worry, slowly drawing it is the right way." Li Shao followed.

Helpless, Shi Bin had no choice but to finally agree to Wang Yi and Li Shao's suggestion, and imprisoned the emperor on the grounds that the emperor was infected with a cold and needed to recuperate. And he planned to let the emperor go on like this 'sick' until he died.
