Chapter 130 Zheng Qingzhi (I)
Chapter 130: Zheng Qingzhi (I)
After leaving Jiujiang, Shi Bin and his entourage did not enter the post station to rest, but directly ate baked cakes and slept in the tent on the side of the official road. Finally, on the eighth day after leaving Jiujiang, he arrived outside Lin'an City.
Although the southern city is not as tall as the north, Lin'an is the capital in the end, there is no depression on the city wall, the city gate is also brand new, and the soldiers in front of him are even more well-dressed and energetic, and there is no sense of malaise.
I didn't have much time to feel the beauty of Lin'an City, the first thing to do was to find Zheng Qingzhi's mansion and figure out how to go in and meet him.
When I entered the city gate, I mentioned Zheng Jaefu, almost everyone knew about it, so I knew the location of the mansion as soon as I asked.
first found an inn near the Zheng Mansion to stay, and Shi Bin took Jia Ling and Wang San to go around the Zheng Mansion a few times under the escort of Xu Feng and others.
Nafu Gate is tall and magnificent, it is said to be a reward from Li Zong, Shi Bin didn't believe that Zheng Qingzhi could be so favored at first, but now he has to believe it.
Although Jia Nidao is also a favored minister, he is obviously inferior to him, no wonder this time Jia Nidao almost did not make any resistance and chose to hibernate, although he did not lose anything, but he lost momentum.
Sending a greeting post? I didn't think about this method in detail, but I saw that the doorman of the Zheng Mansion directly blocked an official in a scarlet official uniform with a silverfish bag from the door.
No matter how much the official asked for the favor, the doorman still did not let him in, and finally the official had to leave in discouragement.
Although Shi Bin stood a little far away, he heard the doorman say: "I want to see my master in a scarlet suit, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" β
This sentence really hit Shi Bin hard. Because after the Song Dynasty Shenzong stipulated: the fourth grade or more should be purple, the sixth grade or more should be scarlet, and the ninth grade or above should be green. Anyone who wears crimson and purple clothes wears fish bags, purple clothes with goldfish bags, and clothes clothes with whitebait bags.
Shi Bin couldn't help but secretly say: The official just now was at least an official above the first six grades, and he was still blocked by a small doorman, let alone himself?
It seems that this method of worshipping the post will definitely not work, so Shi Bin had to take everyone back to the inn.
On the way back to the inn, he suddenly ran into the carriage of the prefect of Lin'an, and was hesitating whether to mix up the familiar face, when a farmer suddenly rushed out from the side of the road to shout grievances. The prefect of Lin'an was obviously a corpse vegetarian, so he only let the house slave drive him away and continue to move forward.
At this time, Shi Bin naturally didn't have the leisure to ask for the people's lives, but seeing this scene, he wondered if he could learn from the farmer and stop Zheng Qingzhi's frame?
No matter how young he Shi Bin is, he is also a county magistrate and an official, so it will be unpleasant to ask to see Zheng Qingzhi in this way, but he should not be directly expelled.
There are only a few main streets in Lin'an, so it is very easy to find Zheng Qingzhi's route back to the mansion from the court, the only difficulty is that Zheng Qingzhi needs to minimize his reckless bad feelings for him.
After returning to the inn, the group began to discuss the issue.
"Big brother, in my opinion, it's absolutely not okay to break out like that farmer, it's too rude. Even if Zheng Zaifu is willing to meet, he will never let you serve as the general judge of Tanzhou on the grounds that you are unstable. Wang San said with certainty.
Indeed, even if he Shi Bin is not Jia Yidao's son-in-law but just an ordinary official, such a way of meeting will definitely disgust this courtesy-paying Wenchen, and once he is disgusted, there is no need to talk about the rest.
The door can't get in, and you can't be reckless when you meet on the road, it's really embarrassing.
Shi Bin even wanted to shoot a few arrows into the Zheng Mansion as if he had seen Meng Heng and ask for a face. Of course, I knew that this was impossible, and if I said it at this time, it would just be a smile, so I kept silent.
Suddenly, outside the window, there was the sound of a man riding a horse shouting to others, from far and near, although it was hurried, but it did not make people feel abrupt and unhappy.
The three of them looked at each other and immediately understood what they were thinking. However, the details may not be consistent, so let's talk about it.
"How about Shi Bin and I play another heroic game to save the beauty? Wang San, you are wronged and wronged to be a bandit... Jia Ling smiled slyly.
Looking at this smart sister-in-law, Wang San didn't directly deny it, but said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I also have a law, maybe it doesn't have to be like this." After all, it is easy for people to see the flaws in such acting, even if they don't see the flaws at the time, they will be known to Zheng Qingzhi later, and it is really unwise to drink to quench thirst like this. β
It's really easy to be caught if the acting is not real, and Zheng Qingzhi is her father's opponent, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't attack her father with this shortcoming, so although Jia Ling was a little unhappy, she admitted that she was thoughtful, and motioned to Wang San to say his solution.
"Big brother, in fact, we don't have to be so troublesome. Didn't that man just ride a horse and shout? My eldest brother and I will have a horse bickering..." Wang San smiled weirdly.
Quarrel on horseback? Zheng Qingzhi, the old man, pays the most attention to etiquette, even if he doesn't break through abruptly, but he still has a good impression of Shi Bin?
Shi Bin was the first to deny this method, expressing his support for Jia Ling's method.
Wang San was not disappointed, and still said with a smile: "Big brother, what I said about bickering is not nonsense, the trick is in the content. β
In terms of content? Wang San has always been wise, and he smiled like this, maybe this method is really feasible.
"You mean, although we are bickering, we say good things about Zheng Qingzhi, so that he can't open his mouth and reprimand us for being rude?" Shi Bin tried to ask.
Jia Ling understood when she heard this, it turned out that she was singing a double reed, letting Shi Bin pretend to be red-faced, and vigorously say good things about Zheng Qingzhi, while Wang San pretended to be white-faced, and slandered Zheng Qingzhi vigorously.
If someone says good things about themselves, even if they know that they are acting, they are not angry, so they can't be reprimanded.
Shi Bin and Jia Ling figured this out, and immediately pointed at Wang San and laughedγγγγγγ
The streets of Lin'an are spacious, and six carriages can drive side by side, but they are still crowded, and they are so crowded that only the two carriage lanes in the middle are quite smooth, but they just can't go too fast, which makes Shi Bin and Wang San, who were originally afraid that Zheng Qingzhi would not hear the two of them bickering, relieved.
According to Shi Bin's understanding, ancient officials were still very pitiful, as long as they really did things, there was no such thing as Sunday. Zheng Qingzhi's estimation is even more pitiful, maybe he has to go to court early in the morning, and he should go to the office at the end of the day. According to his thoughts, isn't Zheng Qingzhi just chatting with Li Zong this morning, and he can't do anything at all?
Since he couldn't do anything in the morning, Shi Bin thought it would be more appropriate to stop his carriage in the morning, so he chose to go on the road from the Song Dynasty Palace to the Privy Council.
Song Lizong is now "leveling and changing", so he is still diligent in government, and there is an endless stream of vehicles entering the palace. Fortunately, there are not many ministers favored by Li Zong, and it is very easy to find Zheng Qingzhi's frame. I waited for less than half an hour that day, and I saw it.
A Wenchen's frame will have a lot of exquisiteness, especially the speed will not be very fast, so it is very suitable for Shi Bin and Wang San to act.
Both of them knew that this time they were just exploring the way, figuring out the route, time, and number of guards that Zheng Qingzhi was coming and going, and they didn't want to see him immediately. So the two of them also started a "drill", followed Zheng Qingzhi's frame from a distance, and discussed the movements of the Yuan people in the north without a word, and what the imperial court should do...
Although Zheng Qingzhi will not have the heart to pay attention to the discussion of national affairs by these small people in the market, he should be able to remember the voices of the two of them, which can be regarded as laying the groundwork for their request to see each other in a few days, and it will not make Zheng Qingzhi feel too abrupt.
After observing back and forth for five days, Zheng Qingzhi's work habits were thoroughly understood, and on the morning of the sixth day, the two of them stopped and waited at a place three miles away from the Privy Council.
At that time again, Zheng Qingzhi, a workaholic, left the palace again and came to the Privy Council. As soon as they saw his frame, the two immediately got on the horse and acted.
"Brother Xian, what do you say about Master Lu Wende?" Shi Bin asked loudly.
Wang San was very excited and said affirmatively: "Of course, he is an anti-Yuan brave general comparable to Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, and he is the mainstay of my Great Song Dynasty!" β
Looking at Wang San with disdain, Shi Bin sneered: "Anti-Yuan brave general? Mainstay? Brother, I think you are deceived by his appearance! He eats empty salaries, drinks the blood of soldiers, and falsely reports his military exploits, even if he kills a few yuan dogs, it is too much merit, an absolute traitor! β
"Okay, even if Lu Wende has these bad deeds, the former commander of Tanzhou and the current Xiangtan County Ling Shibin are always good generals who are loyal to the country!" Wang San said compromisedly.
"He? Hahaha, hahaha, he is the son-in-law of the traitor Jia Nidao, and he is complicit with him, he is simply a nest of snakes and rats, he is still a good general? I think you're crazy! Shi Bin burst into laughter.
"I see that you are a blind eye, and you can't see Tarzan! How can you be so generalized? If it weren't for them to defend desperately, we would have become slaves of the Yuan people! Wang San said angrily.
"I think you're a blind eye! The real pillar is not Lu Wende, let alone Shi Bin, but Zheng Qingzhi and Zheng Zaifu! Without him, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty would not be so clear, let alone have money and food to resist the Yuan, and even the Yuan people would collapse first if they didn't fight us! Shi Bin said indignantly.
The speed of the horse is always a little faster than the speed of the car, and as the two quarreled, the two of them got closer and closer to Zheng Qingzhi's frame, and Zheng Qingzhi must have heard their words clearly.
But in the end, no matter how loudly the two quarreled nearby, the people in the car just didn't react, neither came out to reprimand nor agreed, just as the quarrel was a deaf ear.
Shi Bin, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but become anxious when he saw that this was the effect, three miles was not far, and it would take a quarter of an hour to walk on foot, and it would be faster if there was a carriage, so there was not much time left for them.
If Zheng Qingzhi sees through it this time, it will be even more difficult to see him next time, and it will be almost hopeless to think of the position of general judgment.
Suddenly, Shi Bin said softly: "Brother Xian, I'm sorry..." Immediately, he punched Wang San to the ground, making him choke and start scolding people.
Wang San is also very smart, knowing that Shi Bin is going to do a bitter trick, so he not only fought back, but also fought back and scolded people in a 'normal' state of a bullied person. and shot even harder, beating Shi Bin so that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
It was a big crime to disturb the frame of a high-ranking official, and at this time, Zheng Qingzhi had to take care of it even if he didn't want to, so he stopped the carriage and got out of the car to ask.
"Who are the two of you, and why are you talking to each other here, fists and kicks?" Zheng Qingzhi reprimanded very seriously.
Seeing Zheng Qingzhi coming over to ask, Shi Bin was very happy, this time it can be regarded as a hurry, although it is a little inferior, but it is useful.
"I've seen Zheng Zaifu, the lowly position is Xiangtan County Ling Shibin, and this is the battalion commander Wang San." Shi Bin replied.
Looking at the two people in front of him like looking at two clowns, he frowned, turned around and left without saying a word. This made Shi Bin anxious again, and finally got Zheng Qingzhi out of the car, but he was still so rejecting people thousands of miles away.
Since it is not possible to speak well, just have a broken boat, Shi Bin stood aside and said loudly: "People say that Prime Minister Zheng Zaifu can support the boat in his belly, but he didn't expect that he is just a person with a rat's belly and chicken intestines, Emperor Lizong is really ignorant..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Zheng Qingzhi's guards and reprimanded Shi Bin for being too rude. Of course, Shi Bin was not afraid of the words of a guard, and continued to accuse Zheng Qingzhi of being stingy and mediocre.
People are not sages, Zheng Qing has been in a high position for a long time, where has he been so reprimanded? Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and fought back.
Shi Bin didn't defend either, and only said one sentence over and over again: He is a true gentleman who is willing to let him enter the mansion to discuss matters, otherwise he will just be a person who deceives the world and steals his name.
was forced to this step by a subordinate, Zheng Qingzhi was really shameless, but if he didn't agree to Shi Bin's request, passers-by would think that he Zheng Qingzhi was just a villain who sold his reputation.
In the end, he had to agree with Shi Bin: the next afternoon in the house.
