Chapter 406: I Have to Do It (1)

When he arrived at Lin'an City, he held the fold of the plea in his hand, but Shi Bin didn't dare to enter the city. He had never felt this uneasy feeling before. Even when Li Zong was forced to kill him by the Yuan people, there was never one.

In this case, of course Shi Bin did not enter the city, so as not to see the king of Hades in a daze. So he simply dismounted, tied the rope and rested.

At first, Xu Feng thought that Shi Bin was tired, but when he found that Shi Bin was playing with the guilt fold in his hand, he knew that things were a little complicated, and Shi Bin was afraid that he was unwilling to do what Jia said.

Of course, this matter can't be dragged on too much. Everyone has already arrived at the gate of the city, and it won't be long before Li Zong knows that Shi Bin has returned. However, when people come back and do not enter the city, this can easily generate gossip, causing further dissatisfaction and suspicion from Li Zong, which will be very unfavorable to Shi Bin.

Therefore, Xu Feng didn't care about anything else, walked up to Shi Bin and said, "Are you worried about whether or not to hand over this plea?" ”

No one likes to be actively pointed at the pain point when they don't want to ask for help, and Shi Bin is no exception. Therefore, even though he knew that Xu Feng was trying to help him, Shi Bin was still unhappy.

"My lord, it's rude. But now that you are under the city of Lin'an, even if you don't hand over this fold, you should enter the city as soon as possible, and you can't leave people with the truth that you are dissatisfied or suspicious of the court. Xu Feng said very anxiously.

These words reminded Shi Bin that indeed, whether he handed over the plea in his hand or not, he had to enter Lin'an City as soon as possible. And to see the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise his arrogant and domineering attitude towards the court will be more obvious.

Forced by the situation, Shi Bin had no choice but to get on the horse again and go to the mansion that Li Zong rewarded him to rest. However, in order not to become the meat on the chopping board of Li Zong, Shi Bin still kept his back hand, and he let the 5,000 descendants who returned to the dynasty with his class teacher set up camp in a place eighteen miles north of Lin'an City, which was regarded as a deterrent to Li Zong.

When he entered the city, it was already time to turn on the lights, and of course it was not appropriate to enter the palace at this time, Shi Bin was very tired, and he was happy to sleep well, and he would go to bear the anger of Li Zong the next day. In order to appear sincere and not too impatient, the next day, Shi Bin entered the palace at about two o'clock after the emperor went to the palace and asked to see him.

Since Li Zong has a temper, in order to maintain the majesty of the emperor, where can he be seen if he wants to? So the little eunuch who watched the palace gate stopped Shi Bin at the palace gate. Since he was here to ask for sin, of course, he couldn't anger Li Zong anymore, so he had to stand outside the palace gate and wait.

The little eunuch was smart, and seeing that Shi Bin had waited for nearly half an hour and hadn't sat down, he took out a small stool and stuffed it to Shi Bin.

Naturally, Shi Bin couldn't accept this ceremony, so he politely refused and gave the little eunuch five taels of silver as a reward, and asked Li Zong about the situation in the past two days.

It's a pity that the status of the little eunuch is too low, and even Dong Songchen is difficult to see, so naturally he can't ask about the situation of Li Zong, so he has to continue to wait honestly.

After waiting for an hour and approaching lunchtime, he still didn't see anyone from the palace announcing his visit, Shi Bin knew that there was probably no drama today. And things may be worse than expected, because Dong Songchen, who usually has a good relationship with him, has never seen anyone from beginning to end. This can only show that Dong Songchen also avoided him.

After thinking about these things clearly, Shi Bin didn't bother to waste time like a nerd in front of the palace gate, but gave the little eunuch who was watching the palace gate fifty taels of silver, and asked him to say a few good words about himself in front of Dong Songchen. Collecting money to eliminate disasters for others, the little eunuch agreed immediately after receiving the money, while Shi Bin left with a temper.

After returning to the mansion, Shi Bin ignored the others in the study while smashing things while taking care of himself, and did not stop until the study was in a mess.

Xu Feng listened to it on the side, and also understood why Shi Bin was so angry. Knowing that although Shi Bin could count the number of times he saw Li Zong, this was the first time that he had waited for more than an hour without replying, and completely ignored Shi Bin. Therefore, Xu Feng immediately comforted: "Adults don't have to be too angry, it's not good to be angry. What's more, the more Li Zong is like this, the more it shows that he is short-sighted, and the easier it is to deal with, are you right? ”

The more this happens, the more it means that he is short-sighted, and it is easier to deal with? After thinking about it carefully, Shi Bin had to admit that Xu Feng's words made sense. A truly wise emperor would never provoke a general with heavy troops in such a way, unless he also wanted to have an Anshi Rebellion or a Miao-Liu Mutiny.

Thinking like this, Shi Bin's anger disappeared completely, and he laughed, and said to Xu Feng: "Xu Feng, I didn't expect you to see things so thoroughly, it's not simple. ”

"The adults have won the award, and the humble position is just telling the truth."

"Don't be modest." Shi Bin took a long breath and said, "Tell me how I can see the emperor and hand over this guilty plea?" In order to get the right to rule Jingxi Road? ”

After lowering his head and thinking about it, Xu Feng immediately said: "My lord, it is not difficult to meet Li Zong, since he invited you to take up a post in Beijing, then I will meet you sooner or later." Today is just a reminder for you, so that you can remember that you are a courtier. ”

"Reminder?"

"Yes, remind. Didn't the Lord have already destroyed the Divine Decree of the Doctrine before? Li Zong may not dare to touch you, but it should still be possible to remind you. It's just a bit stupid. ”

"It's stupid enough. I'm tired, so I'll do this today, and I'll go again tomorrow. I hope Rizuma won't be so stupid again. As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Bin went to bed without eating lunch.

On the third day, he entered the palace at two o'clock to ask for an audience with Rizong. This time, the little eunuch guarding the palace gate didn't shut Shi Bin out of the door, but he only introduced him to the gatehouse. and said that Dong Songchen would probably come out to see him soon, so there was no need to be too anxious.

But in a quarter of an hour, Dong Songchen really came out, and this time Dong Songchen looked black and iron, obviously very unhappy.

knew that Dong Songchen was willing to secretly come out to see him at this time because he was thinking of the old love, so Shi Bin gave Dong Songchen three chapters and 10,000 taels without saying a word, and pulled Dong Songchen into a room to talk.

"Father-in-law Dong, how is the emperor this time?"

"How's that, what's going on? The emperor was so angry this time that he pinched his favorite cricket 'general' to death. If we hadn't stopped us, even the Emperor's Mobao would have been ruined by him! Dong Songchen roared in a low voice, "Lord Shi, how can you be so ignorant of dignity and humility, aren't you afraid of inviting the disaster of extermination?" ”

Of course, you can't say 'not afraid', Shi Bin said 'trembling': "Gonggong Dong, didn't Lord Wang tell you that it was an accident?" I also got a knife wound from it! ”

"Okay, even if you have a knife wound and have to recuperate in Qingzhou, but before that, it is always true that you received ten edicts and fifteen gold medals and did not return to Beijing without a teacher, right?"

Shi Bin was stopped by these words, but fortunately, Shi Bin still likes to read history, and after a little hesitation, he defended himself: "Gonggong Dong, this will be affected by the king's life outside." If such a great opportunity to recover Jingdong Road is missed, Shi will regret it for the rest of his life. ”

"Master Shi, since you have some truth, Dong will help you again, but the emperor is angry, I can't take you to see him, I don't want to feel uncomfortable. If there's anything you need to help with and it's not too much, I'll help you. ”

Now that Dong Songchen was relieved, Shi Bin knew that things would be much simpler and easier, so he immediately took out the plea fold in his sleeve. After handing it over to Dong Songchen, he said a few words of thanks and left.

After returning to the mansion, Shi Bin felt a lot more comfortable, but he was still worried that Li Zong would lock him up in this Lin'an City and never go out again, and Shi Bin wanted to know what Li Zong thought at this time.

"Xu Feng, what do you say about Li Zong's attitude towards me, can my father-in-law's method succeed? I always felt a little uncertain. ”

"My lord, I don't feel sure about this matter, but I can't understand it so clearly. I only feel that Li Zong is also very conflicted with you, he wants to use you to recover the territory but is also afraid that there will be another Chen Qiao mutiny against his Zhao family. Xu Feng replied ashamedly.

'Do you want to use yourself to regain territory'? Then say that if others can't resist the Yuanren Iron Horse, they will definitely have to go. Yuanren is now strong, so he will definitely be able to get out of the cage of Lin'an.

As for the 'Chenqiao Mutiny against the Zhao family'? This reminded Shi Bin of Zhao Kuangyin's 'Ten Brothers of the Righteous Society'. Now he also has seven or eight hardcore brothers under his command, all of whom can fight well, and it is indeed possible that there will be another Chenqiao mutiny.

In this case, Shi Bin was no longer annoyed that he was going to give up Jingdong East Road, and put all his thoughts on gaining the trust of Li Zong again.

One thing Shi Bin can be sure of is that if the Sect is to eliminate his vigilance, it is inevitable that he will give up his military power and honestly serve as the governor and privy deputy in Lin'an. But we must not let Li Zong get his wish so easily, and he must also pay a price, and this price is to let his people become the pacification envoys of Jingdong West Road.

So how can we get Richard to accept this condition? According to what Dong Songchen said, Shi Bin felt that his dedication to asking for guilt was probably not enough.

While meditating, Shi Bin was so startled by the neighing of a horse that he almost pulled out the short gun at his waist.

Seeing this, Xu Feng immediately scolded and asked the guards outside the door to take the unfavorable servant and put him on the twenty boards and expel him from the house. Hitting the 20 boards must have broken the muscles and bones, and if you throw it on the street again, the person will definitely have only a dead end. Shi Bin couldn't bear it, so he ordered the guards to beat the servant only ten boards, deducting the salary for March.

As the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, although Shi Bin was frightened, he laughed again. Xu Feng thought that Shi Bin was so frightened that he lost his mind and immediately talked to him, and when he saw Shi Bin's normal answer, he was relieved.

"Xu Feng, do you think I have more horses in my hand?" Shi Bin asked.

"Horses?" Xu Feng groaned, thought about it, and then nodded heavily.

"My lord, there are almost seventeen thousand horses in your hands now, and the key is that these are all good horses of the Yuan people. Moreover, your subordinates are all heroes in a hundred battles, and the combat power of 5,000 cavalry is worth 20,000 or 30,000 foot soldiers, if it is 10,000 cavalry, then it will be enough? What's more, you already have nearly 10,000 cavalry in your hands, quite a few. ”

Carefully recalling Xu Feng's words, Shi Bin finally said bitterly: "Okay, it seems that you can't achieve your goal without losing a piece of meat!" ”

Seeing Shi Bin's appearance, Xu Feng knew that he had made a decision, and although he guessed the answer, he still asked curiously: "How do you plan to achieve the goal of obtaining Jingxi Road?" It has to do with horses. ”

"Yes, today I handed over the guilty plea, presumably by this time the Emperor has already seen it, and he should see me tomorrow. Wait until tomorrow when I add this condition, and in exchange, he should hand over Jingxi Road to me. Even if there was some hesitation, with the support of my father-in-law and Lu Wende, Li Zong should agree. Shi Bin said, "After all, it is difficult to be angry, not to mention the three feudal officials who control the heavy army." ”

This plan made Xu Feng also relieved, because Shi Bin's plan can be said to be flawless.
