Chapter 407: Committing a taboo

Sent by the Li Sect to serve as the governor and the deputy privy envoy, Shi Bin suddenly felt that he was far less comfortable than when he was in Jingnan or Sichuan. He had to be on call at Lizong's call, and even at night he had to get up from his bed and go to the palace to meet him. Then there is no sense of existence at all, everything has to be approved by the Sect, and it is his turn to see it after the Prime Minister or the Privy Envoy confirms it. And his opinions are only for reference, which is not very important, it is completely dispensable, and it feels like a filler.

Shi Bin is not used to these muddy days, not because he is a workaholic, but because the difference between the top and bottom is too big, and he is even more afraid that he will lose his sharpness because of his greed for comfort. In this way, people's hearts will be scattered, and he Shi Bin will no longer be able to make waves, and when the time comes, Li Zong will not have to worry about anything if he wants to settle accounts with him.

Since there is no more of him, no less, Shi Bin should not work overtime as a labor activist. Instead, he secretly began to make friends with various dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, and communicated with his subordinates in Jingnan, Jingbei, Sichuan, Kuizhou, Henan, and Jingxi Road every now and then to understand the situation in order to grasp it in time.

It didn't take long for Li Zong to summon Shi Bin into the palace again, this time with the same smiling tiger, but with a little less yin and yin flavor.

This made Shi Bin judge that things were probably not good, but it should not cause direct harm to him, so there was no need to worry too much.

"Shi Aiqing, I want to ask you something." Li Zong laughed.

"Your Majesty, please speak, and the ministers will listen to you." Shi Bin replied with his head bowed in a fake manner.

"Shi Aiqing, what do you think of the way our Great Song Dynasty commands the troops now? Should colleagues communicate more? ”

'How's the way you command?' Needless to say, absolute rubbish. How can you win a war if you have a system where you don't know the generals and don't know the soldiers? If you are not familiar with your comrades-in-arms, don't you just look for death when you fight? Shi Bin scolded fiercely.

When he was still secretly scolding Zhao Kuangyin for being a bastard in his heart, and his offspring were all pig brains, Li Zong seemed to be waiting a little impatiently. coughed vigorously twice, reminding Shi Bin to answer the question.

However, Shi Bin still did not answer positively, because he was unruly in commanding troops and often communicated with his colleagues. Therefore, when he answered, he played a trick and said 'seriously': "Existence is reasonable." ”

Seeing that Li Zong was thinking about his words with difficulty, Shi Bin smiled secretly: This is a famous quote of Hegel hundreds of years later, I bet you haven't heard it. You want me to capsize in the gutter, and you're still tender!

"Then why do you say that my Great Song Dynasty doesn't have even five generals who can fight against the Yuan people?" Rizong asked with some indignation.

It turned out that his self-esteem was hurt again, Shi Bin thought disdainfully. But it's good, the guy who forgot the scar and forgot the pain deserved it.

"May I ask what the emperor means by this, could it be that the Yuan people have invaded the south again?" Shi Bin said 'unexpectedly': "They are too presumptuous!" Or are they crazy, I only destroyed so many living forces before, and now they dare to come here after only half a year? ”

"No, no, no, Shi Aiqing misunderstood." Li Zong immediately explained, "It's not that the Yuan people invaded south, but I was thinking about how to go next. ”

Li Zong's words made Shi Bin feel a little confused, he didn't believe that Li Zong was looking forward to a few more generals under his command who might affect his Zhao family. With him and Lu Wende, it should have made Li Zong's sleep uneasy. So what does the Risuda mean by that?

Since he couldn't figure it out, Shi Bin didn't bother to pretend to be smart, so he still pretended to be stupid and safe, so he didn't mention the slightest suggestion on how to go in the future.

Seeing that Shi Bin still refused to express his position, Li Zong said: "Shi Aiqing, you are quite knowledgeable, and now several tiger generals of my Great Song Dynasty have been brought out by you, that is, Lu Wende's two brothers have been taught by you. Why don't you help me find a way to choose some worthy of the great responsibility from among my generals of the Great Song Dynasty to guard the Jingshi? ”

Just relinquished his military power and wanted to help him choose an excellent general who could replace him, Shi Bin secretly scolded Li Zong, the old horseman's good calculations, which were shameless enough.

However, Li Zong's words were so clear, and Shi Bin couldn't find a reason to excuse himself. But he was never willing to agree to it so happily, which made it somewhat difficult for Ritsuna. No one will cherish what is too easy to get, so Shi Bin immediately 'frowned' and thought about it.

Shi Bin has been 'thinking' all the time...

Thinking that Li Zong no longer had patience, this emperor with very good cultivation couldn't help but roar, "Have you thought about it?" If you can't think of a way, just choose the way you choose your elite soldiers! It's just that the chosen one has been changed to a general, and I believe there will be no big problem. ”

When Li Zong opened his mouth, Shi Bin's 'thinking' ended, and he immediately smiled and said that this method was good, and at the same time, he praised Li Zong wisely.

However, Shi Bin didn't want to let people bear this kind of offending thing by himself, he was just a governor and privy deputy envoy, so he shouldn't be alone. So Shi Bin immediately said that there should be a respected person to preside over this matter, and he only did collaborative work.

You don't need to think about who this respected person is, of course, it is the current Prime Minister Zhao Kui.

Li Zong was satisfied with this answer, so he immediately put Zhao Kui into the study after letting Shi Bin leave the palace.

After returning to the mansion, Shi Bin felt cold on his back, and it turned out that he was sweating unconsciously. Secretly scolding is really 'a companion is like a tiger', and he can be born in a cold sweat when he says anything, which makes Shi Bin have the idea of leaving Lin'an.

Shi Bin's performance let Xu Feng know that Li Zong must have made him unhappy again, as a considerate subordinate, Xu Feng immediately leaned over and asked.

In this Lin'an City, Xu Feng alone can be a staff officer, not to mention that Xu Feng will know sooner or later, Shi Bin is too lazy to care about any secrets, and he told Xu Feng everything he said in Lizong's study in detail from beginning to end.

"My lord, I think that Li Zong is testing you again." Xu Feng said with certainty.

"Temptation again? He got me in captivity in the capital, and you don't feel at ease? If I have the kung fu to test it, why don't I find a way to strengthen the national strength against the Yuan people so as to regain the lost territory? Shi Bin roared angrily.

"Of course, Li Zong also wants the adults to help him choose a few good generals. But most of the generals are used by him if he is not close to adults. But whoever is close to adults is probably capable, and Ritsune will not entrust him with important tasks. Through this selection, the Rinshu also knew the relationship network of adults, and it was able to curb adults more effectively. ”

As soon as Xu Feng said this, a word 'killing two birds with one stone' flashed in Shi Bin's mind. When did the Secret Sect become wiser? Since he was calculated by Li Zong, Shi Bin was of course uncomfortable in his heart. Therefore, he will never accept being pressed by Li Zong like this, and he plans to promote more generals who are close to him, so he will pull more henchmen to make Li Zong anxious and even more fearful.

Personnel transfers are the most exciting thing, especially the transfer of military generals in these troubled times. Therefore, as soon as this news was issued, there was an endless stream of people running through the back door of Zhao Kui and Shi Bin's mansion.

Zhao Kuishu has deep roots and is busy receiving guests all day long, until he finally feels too tired and doesn't care so he closes the door and no longer sees guests. And Shi Bin was strong and wanted to pull more accomplices, even if he was physically tired, he insisted on receiving guests who walked through the back door.

After a month, the selection ends. Zhao Kui nominated one of the generals who followed him all the year round to serve in the two divisions and three ya, and Shi Bin also unceremoniously nominated Zhao Gang there, and those who went through the back door gave one of them a review of the previous year.

Li Zong was unwell when he received this recital, and he was still thinking about fighting crickets, so he wrote a 'permission' without looking at it. When I got better and wanted to watch the twists and turns again, I found that the will had already been sent and the wood was already in the boat.

This result was not expected by Li Zong, where is this selection, it is clear that the two of them went to the capital to intervene in their subordinates. Zhao Kui is okay to say, he must be loyal to the Zhao family, and Shi Bin is difficult to say.

At this point, it is useless for Li Zong to regret it, the emperor is Chrysostom Yuyan can't change his decision at will, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it. In the end, he gave Zhao Kui a deputy commander in front of the palace, and gave Zhao Gang a small guard and deputy capital Yu Hou.

Shi Bin and Zhao Kui are still satisfied with this result, especially Shi Bin is the most satisfied, because he, the 'prisoner', finally has a jailer who can collude with him. The key is that the jailer still agrees with the dizzy guy of Rizuma, which can be described as 'lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot'.

Zhao Gang, who got this order, began to feel incredible, because this kind of thing should be done by Wang San, and it is incomprehensible to ask him to go to Lin'an by himself. Zhao Gang didn't think that he could help Shi Bin, but would drag Shi Bin down, so he didn't set off when his will arrived. It wasn't until Shi Bin's handwritten letter was delivered in front of him that he believed it, and he set off for Lin'an.

In Shi Bin's opinion, only one of the eleven generals guarding the Beijing division of the two divisions and three yas in Lin'an City was his own people, which was far from enough, so he had to tell Zhao Gang what to do before entering the city. In order to prevent Zhao Gang from making a big mistake, when Shi Bin got the news of his imminent arrival, he immediately sneaked out of Lin'an in the middle of the night and went to wait for twenty miles west of the city. As for the yamen, he took three days of sick leave, which saved trouble.

was smashed by such a big piece of pie, Zhao Gang was dizzy all the way, and he didn't fully recover his ability to think until he saw Shi Bin. Although Zhao Gang has never read a book, he also knows the sentence 'It is better to be a seven-rank Beijing official than a five-grade prefect', which shows how rare a Beijing official is and how lucky he is.

Therefore, when I saw Shi Bin, I was not talking but grateful, and I didn't say a word for a long time.

In order to make Zhao Gang realize that this trip was not easy, Shi Bin only let him vent a little before speaking: "Brother Xian, don't think what a good thing this is. This is a big opportunity, but there is also a big risk, we have to be careful when we leave the lair, and if we are not careful, we will have no bones. ”

This time, Zhao Gang knew that it was not only pies that fell from the sky, but also several sharp blades, and he had to dodge those sharp blades to eat pies with peace of mind. So he cast a look for advice to Shi Bin.

Leaving the city in the middle of the night was to be a teacher for Zhao Gang, Shi Bin immediately said: "You don't want to do anything else, just do things well, treat people generously, and then make as many friends as possible in this capital." The only purpose is to make sure that we can sit back and relax and not have to sleep with one eye open. It would be great if you could win a few generals with two divisions and three ya! ”

Knowing that Shi Bin was planning something bigger, Zhao Gang immediately agreed and promised to do what Shi Bin expected. He himself also said that he would grit his teeth and not leak secrets.

Seeing that Zhao Gang had already understood, it was not yet dawn, so he quietly returned to the city. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Li Zong, Shi Bin simply came to 'go to work with illness' and became an advanced worker.
