Chapter 550: A Private Visit (1)
Because he found a good way to further win over Wang Lixin, Shi Bin had long forgotten the unhappiness of stepping on dog shit before, and after changing his shoes, he had a smile on his face, that is, his servants made a mistake, and he was also a very gentle teaching rather than a harsh reprimand. The head of the family is so happy, and the rest of the people will naturally be happy too, and there is definitely a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere in the stone mansion.
After three or four days of such a happy day, Jia Ling felt that the time was almost up, so she opened her mouth and said to Shi Bin: "Husband, the time is almost up, are we going to go to Wang Lixin's to have a look?" ”
"Only four or five days later? Isn't it too urgent? Something doesn't fit, right? Shi Bin obviously disagreed.
"Since you want the court to be suspicious, how can you not have more contact? If you want me to say that you and Wang Lixin can't go to the tavern once a day to drink, it's not enough. Sai Xishi, the female bandit leader, said very proudly.
Perhaps he felt that this strategy was nine out of ten, Shi Bin thought that as long as this strategy was at the beginning, even if Wang Lixin did not take refuge in himself, he would be further doubted by Song Ting, and might even be abandoned, so he was not in a hurry. Of course, I agree with Sai Xishi that he should contact Wang Lixin more, but Shi Bin plans to rest for two days.
Unexpectedly, Shi Bin was so slack after thinking of a way, not only did he not want to take advantage of the situation to win over Wang Lixin, but he was the boss here, so that Wang Lixin had more time to wander and think.
Naturally, this situation can't be allowed to continue, the previous three or four days can be regarded as a buffer period for Wang Lixin's role change, but not after that, it can't make him really completely positioned as a centrist. Therefore, Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng had no choice but to get together again to discuss a solution to this thorny problem.
"It's good that the adult thinks of this method, but it definitely won't work if it drags on like this, what if the court doesn't severely reprimand Wang Lixin but comforts him loosely? In this way, wouldn't it be more difficult for Wang Lixin to be won over by adults? Xu Feng said with some concern.
"Indeed, there is still Zhao Kui's old fox in the court. If the court's wooing comes first, won't the husband's strategy be useless? We must make my husband aware of this as soon as possible. You can't let the imperial court take advantage of the loophole, even if it's very small! Sai Xi Shi also said.
"There are so many things that are so close that we don't need to experience it once." Jia Ling said solemnly, "Let's go, follow me to tell my husband about this truth." ”
As soon as they heard Jia Ling's order, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng naturally followed Shi Bin's study.
Shi Bin, who was leaning on the chair and enjoying the pleasure of drinking tea, heard a few urgent and heavy footsteps outside the door, thinking that there was a post guard to deliver urgent official documents, so in order to maintain the majesty of the official, he had to sit up immediately. What surprised him was that it was not anyone else who appeared at the door, but Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng.
This made Shi Bin feel very annoyed, and he finally took a leisurely time, but he was so frightened by them that he no longer had leisure and elegant fun for the time being.
With a gloomy face and frowning, Shi Bin said very angrily: "What do you mean? Can't I rest for two days along the river? Do I have to be a workaholic? Is it a model worker like a long-term worker? If you can't help it, it's fine, but haven't you already figured out a good solution? Can't I take a two-day break as a long-term worker? ”
Six questions came in a row, making Jia Ling and the three of them a little dizzy, and wondering if they were indeed too demanding of Shi Bin. Fortunately, Jia Ling, the female Zhuge was the most calm, and soon sobered up, showing a bitter face to Shi Bin, her eyes were still full of unbearable, and after a pause, she said: "Husband, it's not that the slave family is ruthless, the situation is really pressing, and we can't afford to slack off." ”
The situation is pressing? Shi Bin may really believe this when he heard this a few days ago, but he didn't believe it when he heard it today. Because Shi Bin thinks that he now not only has the method of dealing with Wang Lixin, but also the method of dealing with all loyal ministers and good generals. This method is simple and effective, just keep building relationships with them and making friends.
Shi Bin even thought that when the time came, he didn't have to do it himself at all, and those capable courtiers would take the initiative to run to him.
So he smiled and said, "Madam, you are right, but that was before. Now I just need to make friends with competent and honest colleagues, and it won't be long before they form an alliance with me. ”
"Do you think that the court is now full of traitorous villains who can only slap horses?" Seeing this, Jia Ling frowned and said distressedly.
"The emperor is not only faint but also suspicious and sick, as long as I have more contact with those officials and sincerely serve the people, they will definitely be sent by the emperor himself." Shi Bin said smugly.
"The husband seems to have forgotten that my Great Song Dynasty not only has an emperor but also a few prime ministers, and today's Zhao Kui and Li Fu are not so unwise, and the people in the court are not all elm heads."
was reminded by Jia Ling like this, and Shi Bin also sobered up. Indeed, the real power in the Song court is Zhao Kui and Li Fu, although the two are fighting inwardly, but they are still consistent on the issue of Shi Bin. If these two people change their attitude towards Wang Lixin, from blindly reprimanding to an attitude of radish and stick, the situation may indeed take a sharp turn.
"Okay, Xiaoling, you have a point, so what should I do?" Shi Bin asked helplessly.
"Husband, are you so smart, don't you know how to do it? Naturally, the sooner you get in touch with Wang Lixin, the better, and the more contact you have, the better. Jia Ling smiled.
I sighed that I was tired, but after three or four days of rest, I had to start devoting myself to work. Shi Bin really misses the leisurely days of working for five days and resting two days in his previous life. He scolded Gaozong for the inhumanity of the edict on leave made in the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), because he stipulated that officials should take a maximum of two months of leave in three years, a maximum of one month in two years, and no leave for one year.
"Okay, okay, I'll visit Wang Lixin tomorrow, and I'll visit him when he gets home from work." Shi Bin finally made his position clear.
Seeing that Shi Bin agreed to visit Wang Lixin, Jia Ling was relieved and began to coax Shi Bin. Jia Ling, Sai Xishi and Xu Feng didn't want Shi Bin to hate them, and they didn't want to make a difference. Hearing a few soft words from these three people, Shi Bin, a reasonable person, lost his temper and promised not to take care of it.
Since he was going to visit Wang Lixin the next day, he naturally had to be full of energy, so Shi Bin came to bed early and got up late and slept enough.
The night passed quickly, and Shi Bin also went to the yamen office after getting up. But in order to stay sober, Shi Bin just sat there and drank tea, didn't read the official document and didn't want to have a problem, and took a nap with him. finally stayed up until the end of work, and Shi Bin immediately followed Wang Lixin to his house.
As soon as I returned home, I heard a report from the porter that Shi Bin was visiting. At this time, Wang Lixin actually didn't want to see Shi Bin, because he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the imperial court and affecting his career, but he couldn't help but contact. Therefore, Wang Lixin, who was a little tired, had no choice but to fight his spirit to greet this great evil god.
Seeing Wang Lixin coming out of the inner courtyard, Shi Bin, who still had dozens of steps to go, apologized with a smile: "Lord Wang, Shi Mou came to visit rashly, please don't be surprised." ”
"No, no. The system along the river makes the adults come to make my grass house shine, and I Wang Lixin is too happy to see the strange? Wang Lixin also politely said.
After the politeness was over, Shi Bin said to Wang Lixin: "Lord Wang, what do you think of me?" ”
"Lord Shi is naturally a good official who is dedicated to the people. Why, does anyone still suspect that Lord Shi is an official? Wang Lixin asked in surprise.
"That's not it, it's just that I was reprimanded by my two ladies in the past two days, and I felt a little unhappy, so I wanted to ask Lord Wang this question."
"Lord Shi, this ugly family should not be publicized. How can the two ladies of your family and your affairs be told to me? Please don't say anything about it. Wang Lixin refused very anxiously.
"But I feel too uncomfortable in my heart. Once you are uncomfortable, you have no intention of working, and working without intention is not conducive to governing the place. Once the local governance is not good and the Yuan people have an opportunity, it is a big sin. Shi Bin said very painfully.
Saying this, it can be regarded as saying that Wang Lixin can only sit down and listen to Shi Bin's complaints, otherwise he will become a traitor who helps the people of the Yuan Dynasty to bring disaster to the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Seeing Wang Lixin sit down, Shi Bin spoke: "Lord Wang, what do you think of our Great Song Dynasty's vacation system now?" ”
Leave system? Wang Lixin didn't think about this question at all. In his eyes as a workaholic, even if he works every day, it is not too much. Naturally, he told Shi Bin that the rest system was very reasonable.
"Reasonable?" Shi Bin felt speechless, and said with a bitter face: "Lord Wang, I haven't had a day off since I worked last year until four days ago, and I was even working during the New Year. I have rested for the past few days, but I was reprimanded by two tigresses at home, saying that I was slacking! Am I slacking? What a bastard! ”
"I see, maybe the words of the two ladies are a little too radical, but this is also for your own good, positive and positive. Now that you have rested for four days, it is enough in my opinion. Wang Lixin smiled and comforted.
"It's too tiring to do that." Shi Bin said with a bitter face, "It's even more uncomfortable to be said by the two of them." ”
"Good men don't fight with women, Lord Shi won't worry about two wives with such a large number of them, right? What's more, this rule was set by Taizong, and those of us who are courtiers can't change it, right? ”
"Well, then I won't have to worry about the two of them. Please don't spread the word about today's events, I don't want the two tigresses in my family to know. Shi Bin said to Wang Lixin very cautiously.
Wang Lixin immediately nodded in agreement, saying that he would never let a third person know. After hearing Wang Lixin's assurance, Shi Bin expressed his gratitude again and again, and said that he would leave without bothering.
I thought that Shi Bin came to have something important, and this trivial family matter was just a small episode, but I didn't expect that Shi Bin, the envoy, was actually complaining about this matter. This can make Wang Lixin surprised, and his evaluation of Shi Bin is inevitably a few points lower.
But Wang Lixin doesn't feel normal about this, because Shi Bin is not such a brainless person. If things are abnormal, there must be demons, which makes Wang Lixin can't help but be vigilant.
