Chapter 739: A Misunderstanding
Du Zong's face was pale and it was difficult to breathe, these were not unexpected by Shi Bin, but to such a serious extent, he still expressed his willingness to Zen, which made Shi Bin a little surprised.
Didn't Qian Zhong say that Duzong still had half a year to live? Where is there still half a year for this? I'm afraid not for half a month! Shi Bin subconsciously thought that Qian Zhong was deceiving himself, and his plan was to kill Duzong and then put himself on the throne as soon as possible. Because once this matter is successful, it will be a great achievement, and he will never lose his position as a marquis.
Thinking of this, Shi Bin's face suddenly looked like black iron, his eyes were round, and his whole body was full of anger. There is no other reason, just because I didn't expect Qian Zhong to be so unscrupulous in order to seek wealth and wealth, it was really too frustrating.
Although he thought so, Shi Bin still felt that something was wrong, because it was not consistent with Qian Zhong's usual performance. In order not to cause misunderstanding, Shi Bin still planned to have a good chat with Duzong, and ordered someone to quickly boil medicine and send it to Duzong to drink.
"Your Majesty, why are you like this? The Imperial Doctor told me that although your body is getting weaker and your time is short, it is not like this. ”
Although Duzong was mentally retarded, he couldn't talk nonsense, so he could only say truthfully: "Emperor Regent, I haven't drunk medicine for two days. ”
"I haven't had any medicine in two days?" Shi Bin asked suspiciously, "Why haven't you drunk medicine for two days?" Didn't those palace maids and eunuchs send medicine? ”
Looking at Shi Bin, Duzong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, doesn't the Emperor know about it?" These palace maids and eunuchs deliver medicine intermittently, and my body is naturally weaker if I don't take care of it well. ”
Intermittently? Why is that? Why did Qian Zhong send medicine to Duzong intermittently? Why don't you just don't send medicine? When he was about to get angry and was about to go to the Tai Hospital to beat Qian Zhong up, Shi Bin suddenly calmed down, because he remembered why he wanted to enter the palace. If you think about it, you can guess why.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, when I come today, I will guarantee that you will have medicine to drink in the future, and I will not let people deliberately use this to blackmail you again." Shi Bin said solemnly.
Although it was obvious that Shi Bin didn't know, Duzong didn't believe his words, just squeezed out a little smile on his face and a little peace of mind in his heart.
He did no harm to Li Zong Shi Bin, who threatened to destroy his three clans, let alone Du Zong, who had no malicious intentions? Shi Bin didn't want to bear the crime of killing the monarch, especially for such a mentally handicapped emperor who was no threat to himself and very pitiful.
In order to ensure that Duzong could indeed take medicine on time, Shi Bin issued another order: if the palace maid and eunuch deliberately did not give Duzong medicine, he would be executed and his father would be killed. If the imperial doctor did not cure the illness of the sect, he dismissed the official and was exiled for 3,000 miles.
After giving this order, Shi Bin left the palace angrily and went back to the mansion to quarrel with Jia Ling and Sai Xishi.
Along the way, Shi Bin felt fear and a heavy mood in his heart, and his pace gradually slowed down. He was wondering whether to quarrel with Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, or whether to reprimand Qian Zhong. Is it possible that after ascending to the throne, he will also be the result of Duzong, or even worse. The more I think about it, the more I feel very painful, the more I think about it, the more I feel like walking on thin ice, if it weren't for the fact that I forgot to look at the road while walking, and I stumbled and almost fell, I'm afraid I would have been thinking like this.
Seeing this, Xu Feng immediately came over to support Shi Bin, now Shi Bin is a golden body without any accidents, if it happens, he Xu Feng will die and will not be able to atone for his sins. Seeing that something was wrong with Shi Bin, he asked, "Your Majesty, why do you look melancholy?" Is it because I just saw Duzong? ”
Shi Bin smiled and said: "That's true, you didn't go into the bedroom to see his pitiful appearance, if you did, you would definitely behave like this." Of course, if you're not in my position, you're probably just sighing. ”
"Your Majesty, what does Zhao Yu look like? How can it make you so melancholy? He is not your family or friend, or even an enemy, so why bother? ”
"Zhao Yu didn't say anything else when he saw me enter the door, and directly said that he was willing to Zen. I'd be happy about that, of course, but that's not the point. It's about who used what means to make Zhao Yu so panicked, and when he saw me, he said that he was willing to Zen. ”
"May I ask the emperor, do you know the person and the means?"
"Naturally, I already know. It should be the two queens and Qian Zhong who did this. They sent medicine to Zhao Yu intermittently, causing his body to accelerate and deteriorate, in order to survive, he must want to drink medicine, for that bowl of medicine, he will naturally take the initiative to ask me for the meditation position. You know, I'm the one who can keep him alive for a few more days. Shi Bin sighed after speaking.
Xu Feng understood why Shi Bin was so melancholy at this time, and felt that Jia Ling's methods were a little despicable. It is indeed too obscene to give a mentally handicapped patient less medication for the sake of purpose.
Of course, the contradiction cannot be intensified, Xu Feng started to be a peacemaker again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, this can't be all blamed on the two queens and Lord Qian. Although the method is a little unpopular, they are also so that you can rightfully ascend to the throne as soon as possible. What's more, they didn't really stop Zhao Yu's medicine, but only reduced it slightly. ”
When Xu Feng said this, Shi Bin felt that his heart was not so blocked, but he was still not very happy. I couldn't help but say: "Xu Feng, if the emperor has a bad life, it seems that he is not as good as an ordinary farmer..."
These words made Xu Feng suddenly shocked, he clearly felt Shi Bin's fear of imperial power, and then understood why Shi Bin was so melancholy.
"Your Majesty, how can Duzong compare with your waste? Your strategy and martial arts are comparable to those of the Tang Sect and Song Ancestors, who else in the world dares to have the slightest ill intentions towards you? Who can do that? Isn't it a fool's dream? ”
It must be admitted that what Xu Feng said is reasonable, and Shi Bin didn't want to dwell on this groundless matter, so he asked instead: "How do you think I should talk to Jia Ling and the others about this, whether to reprimand or praise, or simply turn a deaf ear?" ”
Naturally, it should not be taken lightly, and perhaps both should be reprimanded and praised. And it is to praise first and then reprimand, not first to reprimand and then praise. ”
Naturally understanding what Xu Feng meant, Shi Bin decided to do what he said after thinking about it, and then went straight back to the mansion. At this time, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were actually nervous, because they had just learned that Shi Bin had entered the palace to see the emperor, but Qian Zhong did not send any news.
When he was still thinking about the possibility, Shi Bin had already returned, and said to the two with a smile on his face: "Two ladies, my husband has brought you good news. ”
"Good news? What good news, husband, tell it quickly and listen! Sai Xi Shi couldn't wait.
"I just entered the palace to see the emperor, the emperor is now pale, short of breath, obviously his time is short, and as soon as he sees me, he says that he is willing to Zen!" Shi Bin smiled, "You say, is this good news?" I couldn't believe it at first when I heard the news, and I would never have believed it if it hadn't been for the emperor's repeated expressions of willingness to take the throne. ”
Hearing the 'good news' that Shi Bin said, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were overjoyed because they knew that their plan had succeeded. It won't be long before Shi Bin can officially ascend the throne as emperor, and the two of them will become the official queen and side queen.
"In the final analysis, husband, I still want to thank you, if it weren't for your full support and inseparability, I wouldn't be where I am today."
These affirmations and praises made Jia Ling and Sai Xishi, two women who have always had rough personalities, rarely shy, and repeatedly said that this is what they should do. And said that today's achievements are all due to Shi Bin's own talent.
When he said this, Shi Bin suddenly smiled and said: "Having said that, my husband and I are often confined to the tradition of looking ahead and backward, which is far less decisive and daring than you, so it will definitely not work without you." ”
The smile contained more than just gratitude, but also some mockery. Thinking of the ridicule that Shi Bin had just seen the emperor and his smile, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately realized that something was wrong. Since the two of them are smart, of course, they can't expose their ugliness, so they have to continue to go around in circles with Shi Bin, praising Shi Bin vigorously.
Seeing that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi didn't want to take the initiative to speak, Shi Bin had no choice but to say: "Two ladies, if you are a human being, you have both good and evil sides, just look at whether this person's heart is upright." If the mind is correct, even if the merit is immeasurable, it can still try its best to be good, and if the mind is not right, it will be full of evil. ”
"The husband is right." Jia Ling said calmly.
"People make mistakes, and even do bad things with good intentions, right?" Shi Bin asked with a smile.
"That's for sure, who is not a saint and a sage?" Sai Xi Shi said with certainty.
Speaking of this, Shi Bin asked Jia Ling and Sai Xishi about their views on Li Zong and Du Zong. Both said that Li Zong was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, and that Du Zong was a lonely and miserable man. Since the two said so, Shi Bin naturally asked the two how they should do to a lonely and miserable person, whether they were repeatedly mutilated or taken care of.
Sai Xi Shi is not as good as Jia Ling has a city government, and seeing that Shi Bin's words are all about this, he simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "Husband, do you know what we did to the emperor?" ”
"Yes, I already know. This should be you, Jia Ling and Qian Zhong conspiring together, right? ”
"Yes, we are complicit. Husband, you don't think we've done anything wrong and come to reprimand you for going around and talking so much, right? ”
"Xi Shi, of course I'm not here to reprimand, I'm just here to communicate with you."
"Communication?" Jia Ling suddenly spoke, "What are you exchanging?" ”
"Naturally, it's a matter of whether it's appropriate for you to do this."
I thought that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi's attitude would soften, but I didn't expect the two to be tougher, and they unanimously said that it was very appropriate to do so. Because of this intermittent supply of medicine, Shi Bin's reputation was not ruined, and he could be enthroned as emperor as soon as possible. And said that as long as Duzong agreed to the Zen position, they would order Qian Zhong to resume normal medicine.
This explanation made Shi Bin very angry, even if he suppressed his anger, he could still feel his anger. So they immediately asked the two why they wanted him to become emperor so quickly, and they wanted to use such an obscene way.
Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were also very dissatisfied with Shi Bin's question, and after the two glanced at each other, Jia Ling said angrily: "The long sigh you didn't stop a few days ago is it because you want to ascend the throne as soon as possible?" If not, why are you so frustrated? Is it difficult for anyone in the court to dare to disobey you? ”
After a long time, it was for this reason that the two women were allowed to do this despicable deed, Shi Bin couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to apologize: "The two ladies misunderstood, my husband and I sighed for a long time not because I wanted to be the emperor as soon as possible, nor because there was disobedience in the court, but I felt that the pressure was great, and I was afraid that I would not be able to support it." ”
It turned out that this was the reason, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately felt helpless and ashamed, and they could only apologize and encourage Shi Bin, saying that he would definitely be able to build the country stronger, far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties.
"Two ladies, please discuss with me first in the future, this time you almost got into big trouble, fortunately Xu Feng asked me to praise you first instead of coming up and reprimanding."
"Okay, my sister and I remember." Sai Xi Shi smiled, "Now that Duzong has agreed to the Zen position, what is the husband going to do?" ”
