Chapter 485: Bear with a fart

The wind is surging in Bianjing City, a remote courtyard in Shen Mansion, and some people are embarrassed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The man paced back and forth in the courtyard with a fan, sometimes frowning, sometimes raising his eyes, and his eyes fell on the plane tree in front of the courtyard, for a long time, he let out a long sigh, and was silent.

Nowadays, Shen Ao's tea shops and liquor shops have a lot of business, and there are more than a dozen stores in Bianjing alone, which can not only make money, but also have another function, which is to find out the news.

In a place like this to talk and drink tea, all kinds of news spread the fastest, and there are all kinds of characters, so as long as you pay attention, there will be any kind of news. Before Shen Ao left Beijing, he was very concerned about this matter, so he deliberately sent a group of smart and capable people from the mansion to each teahouse and wine shop to make a record.

Chen Ji is an old fox, the news was sent to him, he only needed to look at it to see the rough truth and falsehood, and he could distinguish the clues from various news, he screened it, and as soon as there was a stir, he immediately sent a letter to Shen Ao.

The Bianjing in the past few days is too weird, not to mention the three inexplicable notes in the court, and the newly released chronicle of knowledge and news also hides some kind of mystery.

The strange thing about the chronicle is that there must be the support of big people behind this, and there are very few people who can support the weekly magazine in Bianjing City, but it is not difficult to guess, coupled with the articles in the weekly, it is obviously still meaningful, Chen Ji has already smelled a strong smell of yin conspiracy.

When Chen Ji figured it out, he couldn't help frowning and sighed: "Such a method must be Cai Jing's handiwork, amazing." At this point, Chen Ji couldn't help but admire Cai Jing, the most terrifying thing about this plot is not how complicated the plan itself is, but that it will never be solved. Even because it has the pulse of the world, its castration is irreversible.

Obviously he wanted the Song army to fight a big defeat, and he obviously wanted to take advantage of the defeat to liquidate Shen Ao, but in front of the world, he was loyal to the country and outspoken; Don't say it's a market, even Shilin will win a lot of praise. The innermost knot is that it is impossible for anyone to oppose it, and if anyone opposes it, it is inevitable that there will be a fear of war, so now those few notes and chronicles are actually just warm-ups, and the game has just begun.

Cai Jing's greatness lies in the fact that whether it is Shilin or the imperial court, whether it is the new party or the old party, whether it is his former official or his political opponent who hates him, he only uses a little means, and he obediently becomes his pawn, and acts as a pawn for him according to his wishes.

Everything is still in debt, not to mention that Shen Ao has just taken over the mess of Ma Junsi, and it is impossible for Chen Ji to fight within three or two months.

Chen Ji sighed, and secretly said that Cai Jing's methods were powerful, but he couldn't help but worry about Shen Ao, he shook his head, went back to the room, found a blank letterhead, pressed it with a paperweight, dipped it in ink and lifted the pen in mid-air, thought about it, and wrote down four words: no haste, be patient.

Then he had the letter delivered.

When this letter was delivered to Shen Ao's hand, it was half a month later, Shen Ao's life has been quite good recently, early in the morning, he rode a horse to the battalions to patrol the camp, casually found a place to have breakfast, and went to the Department of Military Justice to find some idle doctors to play some games such as pairing, solving problems and so on, and took a break at noon before he began to officially act on official business, read some information sent by scouts, as well as the newspaper sent by Bianjing, etc., and then the next note was sent directly to the military department, unceremoniously begging for military supplies.

At noon on this day, after lunch, he had just sat down in the yatang, and there were soldiers who came in to tell him that it was a letter from home, and Shen Ao said with a straight face: "Dayu is not able to control the water, and Lord Ben is now fighting on the front line, how can the letter be read when Lord Ben is working?" Well, you don't have to be embarrassed, for the sake of your hard work, Lord Ben will give you a face, just take a look and bring the letter. ”

This pro-soldier is a little confused, Lord Qincha reads the family letter, why do you have to look at your own face? He sneered, "My lord, I'll invite the messenger to come in." ”

It was a long-term entourage of the Shen family who came in, and carefully saluted Shen Ao, explaining his intentions, Shen Ao asked him not to be polite, and asked about the situation at home, and Chang Sui said: "The family is fine, but a few housewives asked the young master to wear a few more clothes, so as to save the cold." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "I'm not a three-year-old child, so I have to tell these words in front of people?" Well, you show me the letter. ”

When he opened the letter, he realized that it was Chen Ji's handwriting, and it was just a four-word no-haste and patience, Shen Ao frowned, and said to the chief: "What did Mr. Chen tell you when he asked you to deliver the letter?" ”

Chang Sui scratched his head and said: "Mr. Chen said that if the backyard is on fire, you should be careful of the embankment, and he also said that some things are not bad to follow the trend, but at very moments, it is better to go against the current." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said: "This is the teacher playing a dumb riddle for me, the backyard is on fire......" His eyes turned, and then he understood the meaning of Chen Ji's words, those who can set fire in Bianjing are only a few people with their fingers crossed, if something happened to the official family, Yang Jian would have reported eight hundred miles to inform him. In addition to the official family, there is only Cai Jing!

What tricks does Cai Jing play? And what does it mean to swim against the current at an extraordinary time?

Shen Ao hesitated for a moment, only knowing that something would happen at that time, Chen Ji was telling himself to resist the pressure and do things according to his own wishes. But this is clearly the meaning, why does the letter say no haste, be patient?

Shen Ao sat in a daze for a long time, still unable to figure out his clue, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: "What kind of dumb riddle to play well, most of the time you will have to wait until that extraordinary time to guess what he means." I was not happy, so I asked someone to take a pen and ink, and dipped it in ink on the back of the letterhead and wrote: Bear with it.

Putting down the pen, admiring his own calligraphy, he couldn't help but think proudly: "A student's calligraphy is better than a teacher, and there are really few in the world." "Fold up the letter, stuff it back into its place, and tell the chief to go down and rest for a while, and send the letter back tomorrow.

Playing the game of guessing dumb riddles, Shen Ao was not interested, as for what to be haste, Shen Ao was even less interested, in his opinion, it is better to take the lead in his step by step forbearance, people don't beat me, I hit people first; That's the biggest principle of dealing with people.

Chang Sui retreated, but it was Wu Bi who came in a hurry, and said to Shen Ao: "Brother Shen, I heard the news of my father, saying that the Tianyi Sect did not kill him, but just detained him, haha, as long as my father is still alive, there is still a chance to rescue." ”

Shen Ao asked him, "Where did you get the news?" ”

Wu Bi said: "It was reported by the scouts, and a team of scouts caught a fine work of the Tianyi Sect and sent it directly to the Military Justice Department for interrogation. ”

Shen Ao nodded: "That's good." After that, he cheered up and said, "In this case, let's take advantage of this opportunity to try to rescue them, and I will send someone to Tianyi Sect to recruit them in the next few days." ”

"Zhao'an?" Wu Bi looked at Shen Ao in amazement, and said: "Brother Shen, how can this be done, not to mention anything else, if the Tianyi Sect dares to detain my father, he will dare to detain the second messenger, they are determined to be thieves......"

Shen Ao interrupted him and said: "The first time Ling Zun went to Zhao'an, it was because the conditions given by the imperial court were not enough to attract them, and this time, they will not refuse the conditions I proposed." ”

"What are the conditions for daring to ask Brother Shen?"

"Allow them to pay tribute."

"Ah......" Wu Pen's mouth is bigger than Ji Dan; Allow them to be vassals? Doesn't that mean recognizing them as vassals? Give them the same status as Dali and Jiāo? Gyeonggi North Road is a stone's throw away from Gyeonggi, how could the imperial court be willing to let Shen Ao put forward such a condition?

Shen Ao laughed and said: "I'm fooling them, don't be surprised, what I need now is time, first paralyze these bandits, and buy some time, anyway, this condition is released by me Shen someone, and when the time comes, I won't admit it, what can they do to me?" ”

The pasty people were still proud of Shen Ao, which was unprecedented, Wu Bi glanced at him strangely, and said, "Shen Ao thinks they will believe it?" ”

Shen Ao said solemnly: "They can't help but believe that the Tianyi Sect has won a lot of victories a few days ago, and at this point, they will be a little arrogant, thinking that my Great Song can't help them for the time being, and it is natural to put forward this condition." Second, although they are arrogant now, they also know that the North Gyeonggi Road is in the hinterland of our Great Song Dynasty, and there are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and border troops nearby. In fact, they rebelled, and they were forced to do it, even the leader of the bandits was afraid of being punished, and he just wanted to protect himself. The reason why he was reluctant to accept Zhao'an at the beginning was that he was afraid that the court would break his promise, and after they disbanded their soldiers and horses, they would calmly deal with them. Now that I have promised them to establish a domain, those worries will be superfluous, and they will be able to enjoy peace for a while, and they will miss this opportunity. So if my expectations are correct, they will certainly be suspicious and suspicious, but as long as we are willing to talk, they will still obediently negotiate terms with us after all. ”

Wu Bi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shen, I think this matter is still against a gentleman's behavior after all. ”

Shen Ao smiled: "I only ask about the result, never about the purpose, the most important thing now is to delay time, as for what gentleman and villain, what does it have to do with me?" If you can dàng the bandits, let me do it! ”
