Chapter 254 Big Trouble
Chapter 254: Big Trouble
Zhao Gang can be described as massive, although he has drunk at least three jars of spirits, he has not missed the cave room, while Shi Bin and Wang San have already been lying on the wine table or initiating drunkenness.
Since this is the wedding day of Jinghu South Road's brother Shi Bin and Dingzhou commander Zhao Gang, the entire Jinghu South Road is naturally lively, especially in Tanzhou and Dingzhou. There are countless people who come and go to give gifts and participate in the market, which definitely brings a lot of business opportunities to the entire Jinghu South Road, making this a thriving scene everywhere.
Until the fifth day after the wedding, Shi Bin was still lazy and didn't want to go to work in the government, he just wanted to shrink in the room and sleep lazily, which was regarded as taking advantage of Zhao Gang's marriage to give himself a 'seven-day long vacation'. But of course, this is just wishful thinking, if Zhao Gang has this idea, everyone will understand and agree, but Shi Bin has this idea and naturally no one can tolerate it. So in the afternoon of the same day, he was forked by Jia Ling and Wang San to the yamen to pacify the envoy.
This situation was naturally expected by Shi Bin, so he didn't resist too much, he didn't expect to rely on it for long, but he just tried it with the hope of what happened, and now since it didn't work, he had to sit at the desk and work peacefully.
Before he started to work, he saw a big man rushing in outside the door, and before Xu Feng and the others came back to their senses, the person had already arrived in front of Shi Bin.
Thinking that it was a dead soldier attacking, Xu Feng and the others were nervous and quickly pulled out their weapons. Shi Bin has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he can still tell whether the person has a murderous aura, so he is naturally not nervous, and the person in front of him is not murderous, so he waved his hand to signal that everyone does not need to be nervous, and Xu Feng and the others put their minds at ease again, and put the knife back into the sheath.
Although he could tell that the person who came was not an assassin, he didn't like such a rude person, so he wanted to see which reckless man came. When I looked at it, it turned out to be Erzhuang, but until now he is still out of breath, as if he wants to speak but can't say it because he can't breathe.
Er Zhuang is Jia Yidao's most trusted personal guard and a confidant. If he comes, there must be something important, and it will definitely not be a good thing if he looks so rude, Shi Bin immediately judged.
"Uncle, uncle, come north with me to the master, the master has something important to discuss with you..." Erzhuang anxiously urged.
Knowing that Er Zhuang would definitely not harm him and would not talk nonsense, but Shi Bin was also a general official of the feudal territory who appeased him all the way, how could he be taken away by a subordinate with a word? So Shi Bin still sat calmly and asked, "Erzhuang, don't be anxious, sit down and rest, and I'll go with you after explaining what's going on." There are a lot of official duties here, and even if I want to leave, I have to make arrangements to leave, and it is a big sin to leave without permission. ”
looked at Shi Bin a little helplessly, Er Zhuang knew that Shi Bin couldn't pull down, and refused to listen to his subordinates, and he was summoned by him to come and go. But he didn't want to care about it so much, because the order Jia Rudao gave him was to 'bring Shi Bin to Ezhou as soon as possible'.
However, of course, you can't be arrogant to your own uncle, so Er Zhuang took a breath and said, "Uncle, you're going to be in trouble!" ”
A few days ago it was a big day for Zhao Gang, but today he actually came to a crow's mouth and said that he was about to have a catastrophe, which was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shook Shi Bin to his senses immediately, and Jia Ling and Jia Ling were in a trance. If it weren't for Er Zhuang being Jia Nidao's henchman, Shi Bin would have beaten him out a long time ago.
"Uncle, on the day the villain set off from Ezhou, the old man had already fired three times at home, and injured five subordinates who only committed a little mistake. I heard the man's personal maid say that it was because he read an official document related to you. ”
Document? Shi Bin didn't understand what Er Zhuang said. In his memory, since he served as the pacification envoy of Jinghu South Road, he has only trained soldiers in Tuntian, and at most he has built a martial arts arena, and he has never done anything, where will there be any trouble? actually made Jia Yidao so out of shape?
But with Jia Rudao's old spiciness, it will definitely not be untargeted, and sending Er Zhuang here must be in big trouble and will affect him, this time Shi Bin knows in his heart that he must go to Ezhou with Er Zhuang as soon as possible, and it will not be delayed for a while. However, he still couldn't just leave with his legs raised, and after carefully explaining a few words to Wang San, he left the mansion with Erzhuang.
Jia Ling was naturally very uneasy when she saw Er Zhuang like this, and followed without any hesitation, hoping to know more about it, after all, Er Zhuang rarely panicked so much.
In this case, Shi Bin felt in danger, so he naturally would not resist Jia Ling to join in the fun, but was afraid that she would be a cold bystander and only be a spectator. Shi Bin and Jia Ling, who were escorting them, followed Er Zhuang Fei and left Dingzhou City, and ran to Thirty Mile Pu in one breath before stopping to rest.
"Erzhuang, can you tell me a rough idea now? There were a lot of people just now, and you shouldn't have finished talking about it. Shi Bin said with certainty.
"Uncle is amazing, there are indeed some things that can't be said in the mansion, and the villain doesn't dare to say it. This trouble was caused by your brother Zhao Gang. Er Zhuang said very annoyingly, "What do you like about the princess of Xixia, you will be in trouble with your lord and aunt." ”
Hearing the words 'Princess of Western Xia', Shi Bin immediately understood the possible problem, at this time, Er Zhuang emphasized the name of the country of Western Xia rather than the name of the party, it seems that someone in the court wants to take the opportunity to bring down him and Jia Yidao.
However, Shi Bin understood that such a small excuse could not defeat him and Jia Nidao, at most, Song Ting gave a warning. But this warning may turn Jia Yidao from an advantage to a disadvantage when he confronts Zheng Qing. Once Zheng Qingzhi took advantage of this to vigorously attack Jia Nidao, Jia Nidao could not restrain himself, and he would definitely let the rest of his political enemies benefit and enjoy his success.
The more he thought about it, the more he understood, Shi Bin knew why Jia Yidao was so anxious and angry, so he opened his mouth and said to Jia Ling: "Have you heard Erzhuang's words? ”
"Of course I heard it, but the slave family still doesn't understand, what's the big deal about Li Yuxi, a princess who died in the country? It's not a dead prince. Jia Ling, who was deeply influenced by traditional Confucianism, did not understand this issue very much, and said it casually regardless of what Shi Bin's words meant.
"Madame, do you think that a princess of a dead country has no energy, and it is impossible for Xixia to return to the country, so it will be fine?"
"Of course it should be fine. Could it be that she can still be the leader of a princess? Called the emperor? Jia Ling asked rhetorically in a tone of disbelief.
"It is natural that the emperor cannot be restored, but he can be the leader and become a nobleman with real power. You must know that there are not many female chieftains of the nomadic people, and if she has an excellent male offspring, it will be more cohesive, and things will be much more difficult to resist the yuan. Shi Bin patiently explained.
"You mean that such a marriage is too sensitive and may provoke a strong reaction from the Yuan people and shake the position of your father and you?" Jia Ling began to get anxious.
"Definitely. It is not a trivial matter for a Western Xia princess and a Southern Song dynasty general to be combined. If anyone has a heart to say that Li Yuxi is a veritable princess of Western Xia rather than an ordinary female leader of the anti-Yuan armed forces, then my father and I are really passive. Shi Bin frowned slightly and said, "It seems that I didn't think about it before, and I shouldn't have held a wedding banquet so quickly." ”
Shi Bin's words can be regarded as making Jia Ling completely understand why Jia Yidao is so angry to the point of indiscriminately punishing his subordinates, if it is really because of this matter to bury the hard-won good situation, it is estimated that he will tear Zhao Gang's heart alive.
"What then? The marriage is already concluded. However, Li Yuxi does not have anything to prove his identity, so maybe it's okay if he doesn't admit it. ”
I didn't expect Jia Ling to propose such an unqualified method, Shi Bin could only sigh and care, so in order to relax her heart, he smiled, "There is no impermeable wall in the world." Sichuan has made Master Yu already know Li Yuxi's true identity, what if he is not on our side? Those guards of the Western Xia Inner may not all be of the same mind as us, so it is definitely useless to cheat. But I have a way to get through this. ”
"Say it, say it." As soon as Jia Ling heard Shi Bin say that there was a way, she urged impatiently.
"Since we can't deny it, we just admit it, but let's put this matter in another way."
Doing the opposite was something Jia Ling had thought of a long time ago, but she didn't say it. But there was a mess in her head, so she only thought about simply admitting it, but she didn't think clearly about how to admit it in her favor. Now Shi Bin seems to have a clear and specific method, which makes Jia Ling very happy.
"In fact, it is to emphasize the role of Li Yuxi, not that it is painless and dispensable, but that it must be on the side of my Great Song, otherwise it will be a big disaster." Shi Bin smiled slyly.
"This is indeed a solution, but what if others want to use this to stir up distrust between your brothers and insist on getting rid of the catastrophe of Li Yuxi? It's very useless for your eldest brother to not be able to protect his younger siblings, even if Zhao Gang doesn't care, it's hard to guarantee that the other brothers are not dissatisfied. ”
Jia Ling's words made Shi Bin's mood heavy again, indeed, sacrificing Li Yuxi could save him and Jia Yidao, but it was difficult to ensure that there was no disagreement between the brothers, which was greatly detrimental to development. So he muttered: "Madame is reasonable, it seems that Li Yuxi cannot be said to be a big disaster, but it must be said that he is a person who has great benefits and loses but does not care." ”
"It makes sense, after weighing the pros and cons like this, Rizune should not hold you and your father accountable. Although he is not as diligent as before, he is still clear and not stupid. Jia Ling also said.
Out of the general direction, the group immediately seemed much more relaxed, but the time was still very urgent, and they ate a few baked cakes in Thirty Miles and left.
He ran for another sixty or seventy miles without stopping, and only when the lights were on did he get off his horse and set up camp.
The night in the mountains was very cold, and the next day they had to hurry up, so everyone was naturally not in the mood to have any bonfires, so they all retreated into their tents early.
Soon, snoring sounded from the surrounding tents, but no one in Shi Bin's tent was asleep.
"Tell me how you want to emphasize Li Yuxi's 'big gains, it doesn't matter if you lose.'" ”
"It's also very simple, it's better to make a fuss about her identity. Shape her into a character with great energy but unable to resist the element on her own. If she doesn't rely on Song Ting, she will just be a rogue, and she won't be able to exert her energy. The Yuan people decided that they would not go to war with the Song court for a female liukou. If you rely on the Song court, you can help the Song court form a lot of cavalry to fight against the Yuan people, so that the Song court will no longer be passive in the future against the Yuan people. ”
"It's still a war of words, and we're not so passive anymore, and we haven't completely turned the situation around."
"Politics is first and foremost about who has the best mouth and whose voice is louder, so we have to find a few allies who are willing to support us."
Jia Ling now completely agreed with Shi Bin's opinion, so he asked who was suitable to be an ally. Shi Bin didn't think about it, so he said three people: Shi Songzhi, Wu Qian, and Yu Jue.
