Chapter 130: Zheng Qingzhi (II)

For Shi Bin's method, Wang San both opposed and admired, objected to him being so reckless, and admired him for being so bold in making Zheng Qingzhi lose face in public.

After Zheng Qingzhi left, Wang San said excitedly: "Big brother, how can you be like this? Does this still need to go? You scolded Zheng Qingzhi like that on the street, is it still possible for us to win the general sentence of Tanzhou? ”

After speaking, he punched the wall of the roadside hut hard, and shook off some dust, which really startled Shi Bin.

But he doesn't think that this is the end of the matter, maybe today's trouble made Zheng Qingzhi cancel the idea of observation, and directly speed up the choice, as long as he is sincere tomorrow, it should still be very likely to get the position of Tanzhou general judge.

In order to appease Wang San's emotions, Shi Bin told him the truth, which was also a last resort, and Wang San could only accept this result.

On the afternoon of the second day, Shi Bin still followed Jia Ling's instructions, not impatient, and leisurely.

He was already experienced in afternoon visits, and even those who were energetic and willing to work did not want anyone to visit within an hour after the meal, so he did not arrive at the gate of Zheng's mansion until the beginning of Shen Shi.

Zaifu's doorman was really clever, and before Shi Bin could hand over the post, the man invited Shi Bin in and took him to Zheng Qingzhi's study.

As soon as he entered the door, Shi Bin apologized: "Lord Zaifu, don't be surprised by yesterday's rudeness." It's really a matter of humbling... Something..."

The word "something" dragged on for a long time, but he didn't say the word "seeking" after that, after all, asking for an official is not a good thing.

"Sit down, I'll talk to you after I've finished reading the report." After Zheng Qingzhi finished speaking, he ignored Shi Bin and looked down at his arrival.

I thought that this was another test of his subordinates, and he would definitely have to wait for at least half an hour. However, Zheng Qingzhi didn't seem to have so much leisure, and in less than a cup of tea, he finished reading the arrival report and chatted with Shi Bin.

"You're Shi Bin? The commander of Tanzhou who successfully attacked the Yuan soldiers several times? Zheng Qingzhi asked lightly.

Commander of Tanzhou? Is Zheng Qingzhi digging a pit? He is now the commander of Xiangtan County instead of the commander of Tanzhou, and if he is proud of his past achievements, Zheng Qingzhi will definitely look down on him.

So Shi Bin replied very modestly: "My lord, Xia Guan is now the commander of Xiangtan County, and he was indeed the commander of Tanzhou before, but he didn't dare to be the word 'success', that is, he attacked a few times, and he was just lucky." If there were no other colleagues to restrain him, Xia Guan would have died on the battlefield and was killed by the Yuan people. ”

Zheng Qingzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, was obviously surprised by Shi Bin's answer, in his eyes, even if the martial artist in front of him had been trained by Jia Yidao to understand some rules, it was impossible for him to be so humble.

Therefore, this Shi Bin is either born like this or is scheming, either a loyal person or a great evildoer.

"Why were you so rude on the street yesterday?" Zheng Qingzhi asked with a little unpleasantness.

"Lord Zaifu, Xia Guan is really a little helpless. The lower official wanted to enter your house, but he saw that he couldn't even pass the prayer post under the six products, so he made this decision. Shi Bin said very sincerely.

Zheng Qingzhi sneered a little: "Is there anything you can't go to the Privy Council to find me?" Do you want to come to my house? Does it have to be so secretive? ”

These words made Shi Bin sigh secretly: This Zheng Qingzhi is so powerful. knew exactly what he was doing, but pretended not to know, and insisted that he open his mouth and brand him as a seeker first.

Anyway, he did come to Zheng Qingzhi to seek an official, but not daring to speak out would make him feel obscene and make him look down on himself, so Shi Bin simply said: "Your Excellency must have received a letter of sponsorship from Lord Liu Ding Liu, and the lower official wants to be promoted to another level, so he took the liberty to come to ask for an official." ”

I thought that Shi Bin would find a few excuses to pave the way, but I didn't expect him to be a stunned baby, and he said it so bluntly, which made Zheng Qingzhi feel a little appreciative.

"Seeking an official? You are so bold that you dare to say such things, and you dare to come to my house to say it. Zheng Qingzhi sneered.

Of course, this reaction should be, but Shi Bin is not afraid, in his opinion, this Zheng Qingzhi is still loyal to the country, and he should not care too much about factional disputes.

"Lord Zheng, of course the lower officials' approach is wrong, but I want to talk about the governor of Natan Prefecture. He was originally a mediocre official who was a corpse vegetarian, and now you still let him serve as a general judge, and the lower officials really don't understand. I didn't dare to ask the adults for an explanation, but I wanted to express my dissatisfaction to them. After Shi Bin finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Of course, neither of them can clearly say the plan, and Zheng Qingzhi will not explain a county order, only saying that Shi Bin is not qualified to know the reason.

"My lord, I believe that your protégé, Lord Wang Yiwang, has already sent you the examination materials of the lower officials, I wonder if you can consider me?" Shi Bin couldn't help but ask bluntly when he saw that he was knocking on the side.

Of course, this will be denied by Zheng Qingzhi, and the reason is very good: he has only been in charge of Xiangtan County for only one year, and no matter how high his merits are, he should not be promoted immediately.

Shi Bin used the livelihood of the people as the reason, saying that if he could be given more power, Zheng Qingzhi would be saving more people of the Great Song Dynasty. In the end, he also slapped him a little sycophant, saying that Zheng Qingzhi took the world as his own responsibility and would never allow a common man to die in vain, so he would definitely consider his suggestion carefully.

Seeing that the heat was almost the same, Shi Bin knew that there was no point in being in Zheng Mansion anymore, and forcing Zheng Qingzhi to express his stance too much would only backfire, so when Zheng Qingzhi was thinking, he excused himself on the grounds that he couldn't bear Zheng Qingzhi to work too hard.

Although this is a bit of a stinging and resigned to the fate of heaven, at least for now. If Zheng Qingzhi still refuses, he can only find another way.

About two days later, Shi Bin asked to see Zheng Qingzhi at the beginning of the afternoon.

As soon as they met Shi Bin, he noticed his unhappiness, asking for an official, the so-called "seeking", should be in the hands of the decision-maker, but now it makes people feel that Shi Bin, the person who is seeking an official, is here to "ask for an official".

"Lord Zaifu, the lower official understands that it is disrespectful to be presumptuous again and again, but the lower official must be like this. If you don't want to arrange for me to be the general judge of Tanzhou, the lower officials will return to Xiangtan immediately and will not delay. But if you just hesitate to make a decision, please make a decision quickly, and the lower officials need to return to Xiangtan quickly. Shi Bin Shili said.

Such an attitude made Zheng Qingzhi both angry and surprised, and even if he wanted to be an official, he would urge the official. After being an official for so many years, it was the first time he saw such a strange thing, and he couldn't understand how Meng Heng and Jia Yidao could tolerate subordinates like Shi Bin.

Shangguan is a high-ranking official, and subordinates should not treat them like this no matter what.

Originally, Zheng Qingzhi did plan to observe Shi Bin, but now it seems that even observation can be saved, and his way of doing things makes Zheng Qingzhi feel quite relieved. Such a subordinate who is not blindly flattering must still have some principles and can take on great responsibilities.

At the same time, Zheng Qingzhi felt uneasy, because Wang Yi's report said: Xiangtan County has a population of more than 80,000, and 40,000 are newly invested refugees. Every day, the porridge is endless.

It can be seen from this that this Shi Bin is very good at winning people's hearts, and if he has a heart of disobedience, it will be a great disaster.

In Shi Bin's view, he came out of Xiangtan City for more than 20 days, and he tossed in this Lin'an City for more than ten days but still had no result, which was already very infuriating, so he simply came to "urge the official".

"Shixian Order, are you really so obsessed with the general judgment of Natan Prefecture?" Zheng Qingzhi asked very seriously.

Shi Bin was not scheming, he didn't understand what Zheng Qingzhi meant by asking, he just wanted Zheng Qingzhi to ask this nonsense. He replied impatiently: "Lord Zaifu, I have said it many times, and the lower official will definitely want the position of general judgment, as for what conditions you have, just say it." ”

"Don't you know I can't give you this position?" Zheng Qingzhi asked suspiciously.

This question woke up Shi Bin, two days ago, he only expressed his attitude and said a few good words about Zheng Qingzhi, and he didn't talk about anything with Zheng Qingzhi. From beginning to end, Zheng Qingyi did not say a word about the requirements for the general sentence of Tanzhou, only that his conditions were not enough.

Sure enough, it was an old fritter, and so far Shi Bin didn't know how to get this general judgment, but he was talking alone.

"Shi County Order, you are indeed not suitable for this position. First, you are promoted too quickly, and it is easy to be criticized; Second, you were originally a military general, although you were successful in governing small counties, you may not be able to govern states and counties; Third, you are the son-in-law of the commander of Jia Rudaojia, and it is really inappropriate for you to also serve in Jinghu Road; Fourth, you have no experience in supervising matters such as grain transportation, family land, water conservancy, and litigation, and you have no experience in supervising the governor of the state capital. Zheng Qingzhi said eloquently.

Turning over and over again, Shi Bin had already expected this situation, but he couldn't make the factional dispute between Zheng Qingzhi and Jia Yidao clear, and he was really unhappy.

"Lord Zaisuke, the following words may be a little offensive, but the lower official has to say it. I, a military attaché, have no experience in governing the county, but I can make Xiangtan have such a change within a year, isn't it worth your consideration? Maybe as the son-in-law of Commander Jia, you will be taboo to befriend Lu Wende, but it shouldn't be like this. Maybe you don't know that Meng Dutong and General Jia joined forces to resist the Yuan Dynasty, which I facilitated. Shi Bin said with some pride.

Of course, Zheng Qingzhi knew about these for a long time, but Shi Bin's use of this feats to oppress people made him a little difficult to shirk, because this is dealing with relationships, not the courage of a horseman. Those who can handle relations well will have political wisdom and will be calm in handling affairs.

"If adults repeatedly insist that I was promoted too quickly, I can only admit it. If I get this general judgment, what I will do is to try my best to ensure that my father-in-law maintains restraint and does not conflict with you, and unanimously contributes to the defense of the Great Song Dynasty, and makes the situation in Tanzhou better, I hope you can understand. Shi Bin lowered his head and said calmly but with some emotion.

People who have been in the officialdom for a long time know that Shi Bin only said half of what he said, and the second half of the sentence was, "If I don't get this general judgment position, what I will do is to provoke a conflict between my father-in-law and you, and I will dismantle your platform." ”

Zheng Qingzhi was silent, indeed, he Shi Bin was a military general, and Xinna's concubine was still a female bandit leader, so he must have colluded with the bandits in Tanzhou, if he wanted to make trouble in Tiangong, no one could control him, as long as he guaranteed peace in Xiangtan, it would be fine.

Maybe in the end, he will be asked to suppress bandits, and he will be promoted because of this, and he will be promoted to the general judge of Tanzhou in a bright and bright manner, and because of the accident in the territory, the governor and general judge of Tanzhou will have to step down.

I never expected Shi Bin to have the courage to negotiate conditions with him like this, Zheng Qingzhi was really shaken this time, it seems that Shi Bin is a big traitor and a big evildoer, and he has to give him this Tanzhou general sentence.

But as a dignified person, Song Zaifu was coerced by a county order, which made Zheng Qingzhi really unable to swallow this breath.

"Do you think the official should take your word for it?" Zheng Qingzhi shouted angrily.

"Of course you should believe it, now that resisting the Yuan is the first priority, it is dereliction of duty for you to let the mediocre officials take power. Even though I am a party of Lord Jia, I have resisted the Yuan with all my might, and I have recovered a county seat. At such a critical moment, I believe you will definitely make the right judgment. Shi Bin said firmly.

This couldn't help but make Zheng Qingzhi glance at Shi Bingao, although he was suspected of boasting, but it was the first time he saw that the official was so reasonable.

At this time, of course, Zheng Qingzhi will not give Shi Bin an accurate answer, he also wants to have face, if he replies at this time, he will lose face. So even if Shi Bin is given this official position, it has to be the result of his next request.

Speaking of which, he completely forgot to observe the change in Zheng Qingzhi's face, and Shi Bin said again: "My lord, although I am Lord Jia's son-in-law, I am only his son-in-law, not his lackey. Whoever is for the country and the people and supports the resistance to the Yuan, I will follow him, otherwise I will oppose him. ”

As soon as the words came out, Shi Bin regretted it, what if Jia Rudao really defected to the enemy and betrayed the country? Zheng Qingzhi borrowed his hand and asked him to kill his relatives and kill Jia Yidao, what should he do? Isn't that not a human inside and out?

Since the words had been spoken, he didn't bother to change them, just waiting for Zheng Qingzhi's attitude.

Seeing Shi Bin's reaction before and after, Zheng Qingzhi was very happy, such a slip of the tongue would definitely not change with Shi Bin's character.

Even if he Shi Bin doesn't kill Jia Nidao at that time, he will definitely no longer work for Jia Nidao, which is a great thing.

"Okay, since the Shixian order is so firm, Ben Zaifu will think about it again, and I will give you a clear answer tomorrow afternoon, you can go back." After finishing speaking, Zheng Qingzhi issued an eviction order.

With such a result, Shi Bin is also satisfied, at least let him know the bottom of his heart, and he will not waste his time again.
