Chapter 635: Supporting Ali Buge (2)

This was the first time that Li Zong had rejected his proposal since Shi Bin took sole power, which made Shi Bin feel very shameless and immediately became angry. There is an urge to rush to Li Zong and give him a five-finger mountain, if it weren't for some sanity, coupled with Wang Yi and Li Shao pulling their sleeves to dissuade him, I'm afraid Shi Bin would really rush up.

I know that it is not suitable to talk about things now, after all, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair is still the emperor of the Ninety-Five, and he Shi Bin is still a courtier. If it is overdone, it will ruin the good image that has been built up so hard, so I have to hold back and not break out. And the emperor didn't want to anger the evil god in front of him again, so he had to withdraw from the court under the pretext that he didn't sleep well and was too tired.

Out of the palace, Xu Feng saw that Shi Bin was angry, and his face was angry, and he immediately knew that the matter was unfortunately said by himself that Zhongli Zong had rejected Shi Bin's invitation.

However, Shi Bin didn't intend to spill his anger on Xu Feng, so he looked at Xu Feng, who was a little silent, and said with a smile: "Xu Feng, the matter is really in the mouth of your crow, the emperor really didn't agree to my request, and he really became the biggest obstacle to my plan." Tell me, what do you think about this? ”

"My lord, the emperor is actually not stupid, he is just mediocre and slack. He knows that you will never dare to abolish him now and set up a new king, because you have not really mastered the Great Song Dynasty and have not won over the hearts of the people. But he is afraid that you will lead the Great Song into the quagmire of a head-on battle with the Yuan people. What's more, we drove away the Yuan people, that grassland is useless to us, and winning the battle will only help you establish your prestige, and it has nothing to do with his emperor. Then why did he support you in sending troops? Xu Feng explained carefully.

Indeed, if the war is won, he Shi Bin won, and it has nothing to do with Li Zong. If the war is lost, the Great Song Dynasty will lose, and the Li Zong Society will suffer. If you can't keep it, the entire Great Song Dynasty will be gone, even if this possibility is very small, but Li Zong doesn't want to do this.

It's just that Shi Bin still doesn't want to see Kublai Khan, the hero, unify the Great Yuan, so that the Yuan people have the strength to invade the south again. Therefore, even though Li Zong refused his invitation, Shi Bin still decided to do everything he could to send troops to attack the Yuan people.

This time, Shi Bin did not go back to the house directly, but directly stopped Wang Yi and Li Shao, who were going back, and asked them to help make suggestions.

Shi Bin asked them to do something, how dare the two refuse? Immediately stopped and discussed with Shi Bin.

"Tell me, how can I get the emperor to agree to my sending troops? I can't use his ninety-five honor. ”

"My lord, you really can't use force. This world is still the world of the Zhao family, if you use force, you can commit a big taboo, you will be criticized by the world, and even someone will really lead the army to the king. It's useless to be scared, the emperor won't easily take the initiative to attack the Yuan people for the sake of his dragon chair. Wang Yi said, "We have to find a way to make the emperor willing to send troops." ”

Let the emperor send troops willingly? Easier said than done. Since he is willing to be in a corner of peace and willing to negotiate peace, the emperor is a person who covets comfort. Coupled with the fact that the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty has been restored and even the sixteen states of Yanyun have been recovered, how could the emperor want to send troops again?

"My lord, it is easy for people to lose their minds in the face of interests, if we can find a way to let the emperor see enough benefits, and the danger is very small, maybe the emperor will send troops. And if you want to be famous, you can't be a nameless teacher. Li Shao said.

From Wang Yi and Li Shao, they understand a few very important points, and they also understand that with their abilities, they can only think of so much. Therefore, after Shi Bin thanked them, he no longer kept them, and after letting them go home, he also went back.

After returning home, Shi Bin always thought about how to get the emperor to send troops, how to make a division famous, and even forgot the time to eat.

Seeing that Shi Bin didn't come to dinner, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were a little confused and didn't want to wait for a long time, so they naturally came to ask. saw a Shi Bin who was concentrating on the problem, and didn't notice them entering the house at all.

"Husband, what are you thinking?"

This sentence brought Shi Bin back to his senses, looking at the two people in front of him, Shi Bin smiled: "Naturally, I am thinking about how to support Ali Buge against Kublai Khan." Today, the damned emperor in the court actually refused to allow me to send troops to attack Kublai Khan, and only allowed me to support him with some weapons, grain and grass. ”

I thought that the two of them would be as angry as themselves, but they didn't expect Jia Ling and Sai Xishi to say, 'Weapons and grain and grass are weapons and grains, and it is better than not being able to support anything.' What's more, this kind of thing can only come step by step, how could the emperor's weak temperament agree to start a war lightly? It's hard to agree with you to support Ali Buge. ’

"The question is, why did you allow me to contain Li Yuxi, Princess Naxixia?" Shi Bin asked puzzled.

It turned out that they were entangled here, and Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately understood. Sai Xishi explained: "Then Li Yuxi is just a fleeing princess, who can't really threaten the rule of the Yuan people, but makes the Yuan people's newly acquired Western Xia land less of an unstable factor. If Li Yuxi didn't flee into the Great Song Dynasty, but harassed the Yuan people from time to time, how angry do you think they would be? But if you send troops to attack the Yuan, it will threaten their lair. ”

After understanding, Shi Bin was no longer anxious and angry, nor did he make a sound, but calmed down and seriously thought about the problem. Jia Ling and Sai Xishi didn't say anything when they saw this, they just watched. For a while, the atmosphere in the room made people feel a lot more relaxed and less anxious.

"What do you say is Ali Buge's attitude now after I sent Batu?" Shi Bin suddenly asked.

"Now that Ali Buge is passively beaten, he naturally hopes for foreign aid. Even nomads have a homeland, but it's not so fixed, and no one wants to leave the country. Now that you are willing to be a foreign aid, Brother Ali is naturally willing to cooperate with you. And you are strong, he naturally has high expectations for you. Jia Ling said without hesitation.

"In other words, his so-called flight to Persia within half a year is purely fooling me?"

"Hehe, the slave family has just figured it out, as long as he doesn't suffer a big defeat, then going far away from Persia is fooling you." Jia Ling said with a smile.

Since this is the case, Shi Bin is not in a hurry, but a spectator, waiting for Ali Buge to bear it. Seeing that Shi Bin's face was cloudy and he laughed again, Jia Ling and the others immediately understood what Shi Bin had thought, and they also became happy.

"Husband, you want to watch Brother Ali Buge being beaten by Kublai Khan, so that he takes the initiative to talk to you, right?" Sai Si Shi smiled slyly.

"Yes. He's not in a hurry to be beaten, why am I in a hurry? Isn't that stupid? It's still comfortable to watch them pinch each other, as long as Ali Buge is not eliminated. Shi Bin smiled, but there was also some cunning in this smile.

This time, Shi Bin was completely relieved, and he was happy when the previous knot was untied, and he hummed a little song. It didn't take long for Shi Bin to find that Jia Ling and Sai Xishi's faces were not so kind, and he realized that there were a lot of their credits, so Shi Bin immediately got up and poured a cup of tea for each of them as a thank you.

Looking at the tea on the table, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi were overjoyed, because Shi Bin rarely made tea like this after they came up with an idea. Now that they remember their merits, the two of them are naturally very happy.

It's just that both of them are shrewd people, and although they are happy in their hearts, their faces are only slightly better, and Jia Ling even said: "You have a conscience." But it's not so easy to send our sisters away with such a cup of tea! How many times have we served as staff officers, and how many times have you expressed your gratitude? This time you have to give us a great gift! ”

"That's it!" After hearing this, Sai Xishi immediately followed and said, "We will never give up without giving a heavy gift, otherwise we will not give you a staff officer in the future." ”

I never thought it would get into trouble. Shi Bin immediately felt very regretful about humming a little song and pouring tea just now, not because he was distressed and wanted to give a generous gift, but because he felt that he was too confused. It's just that he can't say this, and he said again and again: "The two ladies are reasonable. I forgot to thank you for being too busy for my husband before, but this time you reminded me that I must be fine

Good thanks, I will definitely give a great gift. Why don't we go to the market now? ”

After listening to Shi Bin's words, the two were very happy, because Shi Bin rarely had such a happy time, so he naturally agreed immediately, and regardless of anything else, he took Shi Bin's hand and ran out.

Women are nothing more than fond of jewelry, brocade clothes, and cosmetics that can dress themselves up beautifully and generously. So as soon as they entered the bazaar, they went straight to such shops.

Since it is a generous gift, and they are the wives of powerful ministers above ten thousand people under one person, they naturally want to buy the best. Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi entered the village like bandits, sweeping away the best jewelry, fine clothes and cosmetics in the store. It cost five thousand taels of silver, which made Shi Bin's flesh hurt. Secretly sigh that women can't stop when they go shopping, and they will lose their minds.

After such a sweep, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi stopped. Looking at the things piled up on the carriage, both of them laughed awkwardly. Naturally, it is impossible to return these bought things, so they can only invariably say that they will be better for Shi Bin, and if there is something in the future, they can discuss it with them.

"Husband, I think it may not be appropriate for you to just wait like this, maybe you can do something else." Sai Xi Shi was the one who bought the most, so he spoke first.

"Oh? How so? ”

"We can't just watch, we still have to let Brother Ali Buge taste some sweetness, we have to show some sincerity, what if he runs out of patience and really runs away?"

This is a very important suggestion, and Shi Bin agrees with it. Treating others with himself, Shi Bin knew that if he was always hung by others like this, he was afraid that not only would he not cooperate with that person, but he would turn against that person.

Xi Shi is reasonable, he has to show some sincerity, and he can't let him think about it. If he can't bear it and run, we'll lose. So how do you think I can show kindness? Is it to send arms or food baggage? ”

"You have to give some, but not too much. In particular, you can't have too many firearms, but you can send some cold weapons. Jia Ling said.

"How about sending him a thousand guns, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 5,000 wooden handles, fifty tiger squat cannons, and 1,000 units of shells?"

Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi both shook their heads helplessly after hearing this, and Jia Ling even said: "Husband, you are really generous, do you know how much silver these weapons are worth?" At least 400,000 taels of silver! Even if it's all from the imperial court, we can't squander it like this. ”

This made Shi Bin a little embarrassed, and he had to admit that he was a bit of a loser. I had to speak: "Then how much do you think we should send?" ”

"Up to two hundred guns, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, and a thousand wooden handles that shook the heavens. As for the tiger squat cannon and shells, don't think about it, it's not good for us to give them. Jia Ling thought for a while and said, "I'll give them 20,000 stone for grain." ”

It's powerful enough, Shi Bin secretly sighed that Jia Ling was powerful, and he reduced the support to Ali Buge to about one-tenth of him. But I also admired it very much, Shi Bin asked himself if he would definitely not be able to do it.

"But is that enough?" Shi Bin was still a little apprehensive.

"Husband, we don't want to raise tigers for trouble, as long as we ensure that Ali Buge is not destroyed by Kublai Khan, and let Ali Buge feel our sincerity." Sai Xi Shi said with a wry smile, "Please also ask the husband to remember: Shengmien, fight Mi Qiu." ”

After being reminded by Sai Xishi, Shi Bin couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and immediately said that he would do what Sai Xishi said.

After giving Xu Feng an order, when he left, Shi Bin said in confusion: "Two ladies, how can you be so shrewd?" Why can't I do it? ”

"That's because you've always been the shopkeeper, if you're in charge of the house and know that it's not easy to make money but you have to spend money everywhere, you'll also become an iron rooster!" Jia Ling said unceremoniously.

This makes some Shi Bin difficult to speak, so he can only change the topic and ask them if the things they bought are good...
