|||->-> Due to too many official documents, although Shi Bin had a way to deal with the problem, he forgot to give an order. After two days of dizziness, it wasn't until the third day that Jia Ling's casual question reminded him that he had not yet given the relevant order.

Shi Bin, who was a little embarrassed, immediately sent his subordinates to send an order, asking Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi to come to Beijing early to report on their work.

"Xiaoling, thank you for reminding me, otherwise it will drag on for a few more days, and it's really dizzy to forget to use it." Shi Bin said embarrassedly.

"Husband doesn't have to be like this, it's normal for you to be a little negligent when you work hard every day, and the slave family should remind you too. If you don't even know about it, wouldn't it be unkind? Jia Ling smiled.

"Well, I won't thank Madame, it's too raw. Now that the post guards have been dispatched, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi will come to Lin'an in about ten days, how do you say I should meet them? Where to meet? ”

In fact, it was very simple to see these two people, but Shi Bin was a little unsure how to open his mouth and take these two upright and talented ministers for his own use. Speaking is also an art, it is not advisable to speak bluntly above the officialdom, and knocking on the side is the king.

"Husband, you don't know how to meet them? I guess I don't know how to further woo these two guys, right? At this time, Sai Xishi's voice came from the door, "Originally, the concubine wanted to remind her husband to send a post guard to give an order, but I didn't expect my sister to have reminded me, so I was relieved." ”

There was no jealousy in Sai Xi Shi's words, Shi Bin and Jia Ling were very happy, Sai Xi Shi didn't like Jia Ling to see Shi Bin alone. If this happens, Seixishi will be jealous almost every time. It is estimated that this time it is because Shi Bin and Jia Ling are talking about serious things, there is no wind and snow, and it can be inferred that the time is not long, so this vinegar jar has not been overturned.

"Husband, these two guys shouldn't be difficult to woo, but it's a little difficult to make them your hardcore supporters." Sai Xi Shi said.

The word 'hardcore supporter' is used very well, and Shi Bin is also suffering from this method. If you are not a hardcore supporter, you will not be able to participate in many things, and you will not be able to enter this 'small cabinet'. In other words, the loyalty to Shi Bin is at least to the level of Wang Yi and Li Shao, and even Wang Jian and Xiang Shibi are not enough.

"What to do? They will definitely support me to govern now, but they may not support me to be emperor, and I don't want to be emperor for the time being. If they knew what you were going to do, wouldn't they immediately turn back? Although I'm not afraid that they will turn against the water, but the impact will not be good after all. Shi Bin said with a frown.

"Husband, don't think about those that are too far away. We should first find out whether Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi are suitable for this 'small cabinet', especially why Wang Yi and Li Shao hate Chen Yan so much. Jia Ling reminded.

Indeed, it is a bit early to turn the two of them into Shi Bin's die-hard supporters, and the first thing to do is to see if they are suitable for entering Shi Bin's 'small cabinet'. Wait until everything is clear before you can have a later story.

So back to the topic, Shi Bin asked, "Then what way should I use to find out what Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi think in their hearts?" ”

After thinking about it, Sai Xishi said confidently: "As the saying goes, 'spit out the truth after drinking', the husband might as well set a table for them to receive wine." Spy on them at the wine table. But don't worry, they really have to be drunk, if you get drunk first, then it's in vain. ”

The younger sister is reasonable, and it is natural to put the wind and wine, and it is just the right time to find out what the two of them are thinking. As long as you let your husband drink a bowl of sobering soup before going to the banquet. Jia Ling smiled slyly. From Jia Ling's appearance, it can be seen that Jia Yidao is commonly used at banquets

This method is used to get the required messages, and it has been successful. Shi Bin and Sai Xishi also nodded again and again to express their support for this 'wonderful plan'.

Soon more than ten days later, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi also went to Beijing in advance to report on their work according to Shi Bin's order. Now Shi Bin is powerful, so after entering Beijing, no official will go to the Ministry of Officials to report or enter the palace to face the saint, but to come to Shifu to meet Shi Bin, and the two of them also plan to do so. It's just that the two of them just arrived at the inn in Lin'an when they received an invitation from Shi Bin, inviting them to go to Shifu at noon to drink the wind wine.

On this day, the sky was clear and the warm breeze was blowing, and it was really a rare good weather that was very comfortable, and anyone who was going to feel refreshed. Because it was Shi Bin's family banquet, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi did not dare to slack off, and there was still an hour before the luncheon began, and they came to Shifu together.

I didn't expect that when I entered the door with my front foot, the two of them came with my back foot, which made Shi Bin a little unexpected, but it also felt good, which at least showed that the two did not dare to ignore their words.

"Two adults, why did you come so early and didn't take a rest at the inn?" Shi Bin asked.

"King Chu's banquet and Lord Chen and I should naturally be more active, not to mention that you have a lot of opportunities, time is very precious, of course you can't wait for a long time." Li Tingzhi explained.

"What Master Li said is exactly what the lower officials think. What's more, we are just living in the post station now, and we are really bored, so it is better to come to the King of Chu earlier to talk to the prince about current affairs. I just want you not to bother us. ”

However, Shi Bin didn't want to talk too much about the government with the two at this time, because he wanted to 'talk' at the banquet, so he proposed to let Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi teach him to play Go. In Shi Bin's mansion, he naturally had to listen to Shi Bin's arrangement, and Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi could only teach him to play chess. Shi Bin deliberately made a mistake and dragged the time until noon.

Soon the dishes were served, looking at the delicious food on the table, the two of them couldn't bear it even if they cultivated well. Chen Yan couldn't help but admire: "People say that the king of Chu has a deep way of food, and the lower officials originally didn't believe it, so they have to believe it." In the past, Chen thought that the way of the prince's food was the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but he didn't expect that such ordinary ingredients could be made with both color and flavor, which was really good. ”

"Master Chen's words Li Tingzhi deeply agreed, the prince is really admirable in the way of food, and he is not at all those laypeople who only know the delicacies of the mountains and seas."

"The two adults praised it falsely, Shi is just a foodie, and he shouldn't deserve the word 'Taoism'." Shi Bin said with a smile. After speaking, Shi Bin persuaded him to drink.

Because he had drunk the sobering soup in advance, he had no fear, Shi Bin also said that he drank a small cup at a time, and Li Tingzhi and Chen Yan were casual.

Of course, you can't let a prince suffer like this, it's too ignorant, Li Tingzhi and Chen Yan have to drink a small cup at a time. In this way, the two of them fell into the trap, and it didn't take long for their faces to appear drunk.

"Two adults, this time I want you to go to Beijing in advance to report on your work, because the widow intends to assign you another position. With the ability of the two of you, few people think that you are suitable to be the middle of the imperial history, and it is a bit condescending to serve in the local area. Shi Bin said very seriously.

Everyone wants to be a Beijing official, and being a Beijing official is closer to the center of power, and the faster the promotion is promoted, and the easier it is to get glory and wealth. Therefore, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi are very grateful to Shi Bin from the bottom of their hearts. When he heard that Shi Bin was going to arrange for them to be the middle of the imperial history, he felt a little uneasy.

Because Yu Shi Zhongcheng is specifically responsible for inspecting hundreds of officials, including Shi Bin. But Shi Bin asked them to be the middle of the imperial history, and there was really something wrong with it. The biggest possibility is that they want them to act as Shi Bin's eyes and ears.

Seeing that the faces of the two changed, Shi Bin immediately changed the topic and said, "Chen Yan, did you have any misunderstanding with Wang Yi and Li Shao?" They support you as the Emperor of the Imperial History, but it doesn't seem to be very high

Prosper. ”

This question surprised Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi, Chen Yan didn't speak for a long time, and finally it was Shi Bin who kept urging Chen Yan to tell the reason: Chen Yan failed to win many scientific examinations, and later Meng Heng sponsored him to become a magistrate. Because of his diligence and love for the people during his tenure, Meng Heng supported him a lot, so he was promoted quickly, so he was hated by others.

Since he was Meng Hui's protégé, Shi Bin immediately felt a lot more cordial, and said with a smile: "It turns out that because he was not born in the imperial examination and was promoted too quickly, it seems that he is in the same disease as the widow." But don't hold a grudge against Wang Yi and Li Shao, after all, they still approve of your entry into Beijing. ”

"King Chu, don't worry, Chen Yan understands these priorities. If the two adults oppose it, I'm afraid that the lower officials will never want to serve in Beijing for the rest of their lives. ”

"Okay, that's good. Li Tingzhi, you don't have to worry, Wang Yi and Li Shao didn't know that you were coming to Lin'an. Shi Bin casually lied.

Drinking while talking, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi are now a little unsupportable, and Chen Yan, who is not a high drinker, has begged for mercy again and again.

Seeing that the timing was almost there, Shi Bin spoke: "Two adults, the widow wants to ask you some questions. ”

"King Chu, please say, the lower officials know everything, and they are endless." Li Tingzhi said. Chen Yan also said again and again that he would know everything.

Of course, it can't be directly said that his hardcore supporters want to call themselves emperors, Shi Bin has changed the protagonist, but this person did persuade Shi Bin to be emperor, and this person is the current Dayuan Emperor Ali Buge.

"Do you remember when I went to the northwest two years ago?" Shi Bin said, "After I became a brother with Ali Buge, he persuaded me to become emperor. What do you guys think about this? ”

As soon as he heard that Brother Ali Buge had persuaded Shi Bin to become emperor, Chen Yan immediately jumped up and said: "Lord Wang, you must not, you must not do such a rebellious thing." If you do it, you will only be scolded by the world! ”

Li Tingzhi didn't speak immediately, but thought hard and said, "Lord Wang, what Lord Chen said is very true. Xia Guan knew that it was not only Ali Buge who was trying to proclaim the prince emperor, but there were also many people in the court who wanted the prince to be the emperor, so they could follow the promotion and make a fortune. But if the prince really does it, I'm afraid he will only be scolded by the world. ”

"You're all right, but widowhood is also a dilemma. Several times the widow wanted to directly pick his son and go back to Tanzhou to be a rich man. But it seems that it can't go like this..." Shi Bin said with a bitter face.

"Xia Guan understands that now the emperor's incompetence is a retarded mind, and the Zhao family is indeed exhausted, and the prince not only saved the Great Song Dynasty but also opened up territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and it is natural to replace the Zhao family." Li Tingzhi paused when he spoke, and then said, "But please think carefully." ”

I don't want to waste energy on this kind of thing, after all, even if Shi Bin drinks the sobering soup, he won't last long, and he has to fight quickly. So he asked, "What do you think of those who want me to ascend the throne and become emperor?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yan immediately said: "Lord Wang, the lower officials will fully support the prince in governing the Great Song Dynasty, but if the prince usurps the throne, please forgive the lower officials for resigning and returning to seclusion and cannot continue to follow." Then Li Tingzhi said: "Lord, the lower officials don't care whether you are the prince or the emperor, as long as you are diligent and love the people." But I still advise the prince not to usurp the throne, after all, it will damage the reputation of the prince. ”

Chen Yan was obviously unhappy to hear Li Tingzhi's words, and his brows immediately furrowed, but he had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

Now that he has figured out the attitudes of Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi, Shi Bin is very happy in his heart. In order to reassure the two, Shi Bin still said that he would not be the emperor.

With Shi Bin's 'promise', the two finally let go, and then they got drunk...
