Chapter 672: Recognize the situation

This trip into the palace went smoothly, and Shi Bin's basic purpose was achieved. not only gave his generals and soldiers a satisfactory explanation, but also firmly grasped the Hexi Corridor in his hands, even if he did not get back to the front of the palace to check, Shi Bin was still satisfied.

Back at the mansion, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi knew that he hadn't lost or won as soon as they saw Shi Bin's demeanor. In addition, the two of them didn't plan that Shi Bin, a person who didn't have much economic acumen, would win in the game with Li Zong and Zhao Kui, even if Wang Yi and Li Shao assisted, it would be good if he didn't lose.

In order to make Shi Bin's heart feel reassured, of course, the two of them stepped forward and asked.

"Husband, what conditions did you put forward to the emperor?" Jia Ling asked.

"I put forward five conditions, he agreed to three and a half, and Zhao Kui also set a set for me, but it didn't work." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Mention five conditions, promise three and a half? Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi don't understand very well, how can there be three and a half? Zhao Kui's old husband set up a trap for his husband again? So the two couldn't wait to ask.

"Xiaoling, Xi Shi, I ask the imperial court to reward the generals and soldiers; Let the imperial court allocate funds for grain tax exemption; Let Sai Zhang Fei and Xiang Shibi serve as the guards of Yumen Pass and Jiayu Pass, and the emperor and Zhao Kui agreed to these three conditions. However, he did not agree to me to re-serve as the chief inspector of the palace, nor did he agree that the governors of the four counties of Hexi would be decided by me, and asked the ministers to decide together in the early dynasty. ”

"Now the people of the court, you can say anything, even if the emperor and Zhao Kui want to confront you, they have to work hard. You can master at least two of the four counties in Hexi, and you can indeed be regarded as half of the promise. Jia Ling nodded as she spoke.

"You said that Zhao Kui set you up, what kind of set did he play? It's almost in the coffin, why are you still so annoying? Sai Xi Shi said viciously.

"A big temptation wants to kill me. He proposed that the emperor make me the king of Changsha. Shi Bin smiled, "But I didn't agree." ”

"King of Changsha?" Jia Ling lowered her head and muttered, "Actually, it's not impossible to accept, but Zhao Kui really wants you to be embarrassed, and the king with a different surname is too sensitive." By the way, let's talk about the emperor's reward for you! I'm going to see how stingy he can be this time! ”

"This time the emperor is smarter. Named me a hussar general, and rewarded me with 100,000 taels of silver. Seeing that Jia Ling and Sai Xi Shi obviously didn't think there was anything smart about this, Shi Bin continued: "The emperor named Xiao Ling as the lady of Qi and Xi Shi as Shuoren, do you think he is smarter?" ”

Hearing the news, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi immediately became happy, and at the same time a little shy, because it was a great honor for them to be named Mrs. Command. Especially Sai Xishi, a concubine born from a bandit, has become a Shuo person with status, and she is even more temperless.

Although the two of them didn't speak, they both admitted in their hearts what Shi Bin said that Li Zong was much smarter.

"Clever enough to know how to bribe the people closest to me." Shi Bin smiled slyly, "Congratulations, husband, two ladies of fate!" ”

Jia Ling and Sai Xishi naturally returned the ceremony to express their gratitude.

After being happy, Shi Bin, Jia Ling, and Sai Xishi discussed the situation in the imperial court again, and set the goal of controlling at least three of the four counties in Hexi.

I thought that this goal would be easy to achieve, and the emperor should be satisfied with giving the emperor the right to appoint a governor, but he didn't expect the emperor to be insatiable and want the appointment rights of three prefectures, and only let Shi Bin control one state. This was naturally impossible, and neither side wanted to take a step back, so the matter was discussed in the court for a whole day without a single result.

Such a setback was something Shi Bin didn't expect, he didn't expect that Li Zong's attitude would become so hard after taking back the palace front Sidu for inspection. Although I really wanted to give Rizong a set of 'Seven Wounds Fist', I didn't want to tell the truth, so I put up with it for the time being and decided to write first and then martial arts.

Seeing Shi Bin, who was a little sullen when he returned home, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi knew that things had not been done, and there was still a big gap between them and their goals.

"Husband, how are things going in the four counties of Hexi?" Sai Xi Shi asked first.

"The emperor's old puppet is insatiable, and he actually wants the right to govern Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Wuwei, and only gives me one place in Dunhuang. I discussed with Wang Yi and Li Shao with him and Zhao Kui for a whole day, and they didn't take half a step back. Shi Bin said angrily.

"How did you get so tough? Are they brain-broken? Regained control of the front division of the palace and was so careless? Jia Ling said very unexpectedly.

"Husband, since the emperor and Zhao Kui are so ignorant, just find an excuse to withdraw them. Let the emperor abdicate and let Zhao Kui go home to farm! Sai Xi Shi said angrily.

"Zhao Kui will definitely go home to farm, but I don't plan to let the emperor abdicate for the time being, because I haven't mastered the Hexi Corridor yet, so I can only find a way to master as much of the Hexi Corridor as possible."

After listening to Shi Bin's words, Jia Ling and Sai Xishi also agreed, so they thought of a way with Shi Bin.

Not long after, Sai Xishi said: "Husband, I remember that the current commanders of the front division of the palace were all pushed up by you, and they were all deputies before, right?" ”

"Yes, when I was attacking Hebei East Road, I pulled down a few of the main commanders, and then pushed these obedient deputy commanders up."

"Since they are still obedient, why don't you let the emperor see how obedient they are to you? Let the emperor know whether these commanders are listening to you Shi Bin or to his emperor? Sai Si Shi smiled slyly.

This is very easy to understand, it is nothing more than to ask the emperor to understand that even if Shi Bin returns the palace front division to the emperor, everyone in the palace front division will still listen to him Shi Bin.

"That's a good idea, so let's do it. But in what way do you show that the people in front of the palace still only listen to me Shi Bin? ”

"This will naturally create some small conflicts or disagreements, of course, you can't insult the emperor, it's enough to embarrass the emperor a little." Sai Si Shi continued.

"What kind of skirmishes or disagreements are appropriate?" Shi Bin thought with a frown. It is not easy to deal with small conflicts and disagreements with the starting point of the Doctrine without going too far.

While Shi Bin and the three of them were pondering and meditating, Xu Feng reminded: "My lord, I think it is best to have this kind of disagreement and conflict when my lord and Li Zong do something together. ”

"Do something together?" Shi Bin muttered, "Playing chess? Fighting crickets? Or something else? ”

"It's not enough, with the status of an adult now, no one will say anything if you quarrel with the emperor. It's better to make the emperor hurt. ”

"Pain?" Sai Xi Shi subconsciously thought of wrestling and said it immediately.

Li Zong is pampered, and he is in his fifties and almost sixty, how can he still wrestle? Shi Bin and Jia Ling looked at Sai Xishi helplessly, as if they were looking at a wooden fish head. If you really want to wrestle with the Lai Sect, you might as well tell him directly, 'This world can't tolerate you'.

"Wrestling is not good? It's hard to find something like having contact with me without getting hurt and having to argue. Shi Bin muttered in frustration.

When the two women also repeatedly expressed their trouble, Xu Feng said: "My lord, maybe it's not very difficult, we can try to wrench our wrists." ”

Hearing this, Shi Bin of course laughed and praised, saying that he would use his wrist wrench to warn Li Zong. In this way, Li Zong will not be criticized, and at the same time, Li Zong will understand that he has a few pounds and a few taels to recognize the situation.

In order to keep things out of order, Shi Bin called several leaders of the forbidden army in front of the palace who were on duty the next day into the mansion that night. Everyone did not dare to disobey Shi Bin, the evil god, but there were also some loyalty to Li Zong, saying that as long as Shi Bin did not go too far, they would turn a blind eye.

When it was time to meet the emperor again, the emperor at this time was actually uneasy, because there was a fierce conflict with Shi Bin over the issue of the four counties of Hexi, and Shi Bin had always played cards according to the rules and had a huge power, so he couldn't predict what Shi Bin would do.

"Chen Shibin see the emperor." Shi Bin said solemnly.

"Shi Aiqing is exempt, what is the matter with Shi Aiqing's coming today?"

"Today, Weichen came to discuss with the emperor the appointment of officials in the four counties of Hexi. The minister thought that the three people proposed by the emperor were all corpse vegetarians, and they had no real talents, and they might not be able to govern the four counties of Hexi. Although Ali Buge and Weichen became brothers, it was just a private affair. If the four counties are not stable, and Ali Buge has a bad heart, I am afraid that the soldiers will see each other again and the people will be miserable. And the few people proposed by the minister are all capable people who are suitable for serving as the governors of the four counties. If the emperor is displeased, Weichen proposes three people, and the emperor proposes one person. ”

These words are naturally completely reasonable, and they are high-sounding. However, Shi Bin's intention to control the Hexi Corridor was clearly revealed, and Li Zong's attitude was very tough because he had regained control of the palace front division, saying that he would appoint at least three Zhizhou, and Shi Bin would appoint one Zhizhou at most.

Since it was useless to persuade well, Shi Bin ran out of patience, so he used the strategy he had set before.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to play a game with you, this game is very fun."

Ritsune is a master who likes to fight crickets, how can such a person not like to play games? As soon as he heard Shi Bin say that there was a fun game, he immediately motioned to Shi Bin to say it, and if it was appropriate, he would not talk about the appointment of officials in the four counties of Hexi, and play the game first.

"Board wrists." Seeing that Li Zong's face immediately turned pale, Shi Bin then smiled and said: "Please don't worry about the emperor, the minister only uses three fingers, and the emperor uses one hand." ”

People want to face trees and bark, Shi Bin only uses three fingers, and he uses one hand, and he is not old enough to move, and finally Li Zong agreed.

How could the old and frail Rimune be the opponent of the strong Shi Bin? Even if Shi Bin only uses three fingers, Li Zong can't use one hand.

Because he deliberately wanted Li Zong to have a pain, Shi Bin grabbed his hand and twisted it with all his might, so he didn't break it at all. At this time, Li Zongfang only knew about the plan, but he still wanted to fight, but the result was naturally himself. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he called the guards of the Forbidden Army outside the house.

But he didn't expect that no one came in after more than a dozen calls in a row, and Li Zong suddenly became frightened, realizing that the former division of this hall actually only had the right to rule in name, but it was actually in Shi Bin's hands. In other words, he still doesn't even have the capital to protect himself, let alone fight against Shi Bin.

"Shi Bin, what do you want!" Rizune roared as he endured the 'immense' pain.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do, doesn't the emperor know?" Shi Bin sneered.

"Okay, the officials of three of the four counties in Hexi are appointed by you! I'll appoint only one county! ”

I wanted to stimulate Ritsune again, and said that he had changed his mind and now wanted the right to appoint officials in all four counties. But he was afraid that Li Zong's dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, so in the end, Shi Bin endured this greed and agreed.

After talking, Shi Bin also persuaded very 'earnestly': "Your Majesty, you have to exercise more, it's not okay to be delicate and soft." Then he left humming a ditty. Only the Rishune with fire in his eyes was left...
