As for the matter, Li Zhi's actions are not a sign of weakness. They just highlight Li Zhi's character of being soft and not being tough. If Lu Dongzan challenged Li Zhi and was very strong, then Li Zhi would send troops 100%. In fact, Li Zhi's emperor mentality is very strong, and he will never allow anyone to ride on his head. However, the cunning Lu Dongzan chose to pretend to be a grandson and pretend to be pitiful, which was extremely respectful to Li Zhi. In addition, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty had very close relationships over the years, which made Li Zhi feel that he should not be on either side.

In addition, Tubo is not within Li Zhi's goal. His main policy is to control the northwest and march into the Western Regions. This is also the dream of the Central Plains dynasty. No matter how powerful the Central Plains dynasty was, it could not set foot in the Western Regions. This can be said to be the century-old plan of the Tang Dynasty. Because Li Shimin had already seen hope at the beginning, the potential of the Tang Dynasty was to have the foundation for setting foot in the Western Regions. Then there was Goguryeo in the east. This thorn was not pulled out, and the Tang Dynasty was always unable to sleep or eat. This was Li Zhi's main policy. As long as Tubo was not involved in the Northwest, Li Zhi could still tolerate it. Now he had to do his best to develop his national strength and prepare for the elimination of Goguryeo in the future. Once the East was stabilized, he could make every effort to break through the unknown area of ​​the Western Regions.

Han Yi knew that he was most likely helpless. He could only delay the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun as much as possible. When the northwest stabilized, he would not be afraid of Tubo at that time.

Xiao Mansion!

It was not until the evening that Xiao Rui came back from outside.

Han Yi and Xiao Wuyi and his wife stood up and came to greet them.

"Father-in-law, thank you for your hard work!" Han Yi said with a guilty look on his face.

"You!"

Xiao Rui just pointed at Han Yi, but did not rush to say that the three of them came to the house to sit down.

Xiao Rui took a sip of tea and sighed, "I'm not hiding it to you, actually I'm not tired. But the Prince of Heyuan was absent-minded and kept beating indirectly to inquire about your news. He didn't go anywhere to play, just wandering around your north alley."

Han Yi smiled without saying a word, obviously he had expected it.

Xiao Rui glanced at Han Yi and said, "Son-in-law, I think it's not easy for the Prince of Heyuan. After all, he is also a king in a corner. When he comes to my Chang'an, he bows down and asks people everywhere. He is still thinking about the people of Tuyuhun. You see when will you meet him?"

After all, I am a Buddhist and I feel unbearable.

Xiao Wuyi said: "Dad, it was not like this when they Tuyuhun took advantage of the situation in my Tang Dynasty. Who would have asked him to be incapable of his ability? If he had the ability, he would not have to do this. This is no wonder his husband."

"What do you know?" Xiao Rui glared at his daughter and said, "It was not him who took advantage of the situation. You must know that he was helped by the late emperor and your grandfather. How could he blame him for his mistakes?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Father-in-law, this is not a friendship between two people. If that is the case, if you say that, I will lend him a ten-stop 10-stop 100% to him in one sentence. This is a diplomacy between countries. You cannot add sympathy to it. Poor. If we help him, thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty may have their lives. If it is beneficial to my Tang Dynasty, then send troops to help. If there are disadvantages, then don't help. In fact, it is that simple."

Xiao Rui nodded slightly and said, "Your words are not unreasonable."

Xiao Wuyi immediately said dissatisfied: "Dad, the meaning of a daughter is the same as your husband. Why should my daughter tell you that you don't understand what your daughter doesn't understand? Your husband says that you say that it's not unreasonable, you are too partial."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Rui snorted and said, "Is what you said the same as Han Yi?" He was too lazy to pay attention to this unfilial son, and said to Han Yi, "But no matter what you do, you have to meet Prince Heyuan. It's not the same thing that I always want to make excuses him, and I'm also in a dilemma."

Han Yi smiled and nodded and said, "I will definitely meet him, but before that, I have to meet Lu Dongzan first."

Xiao Rui said: "This is not right. Everything comes first and then comes."

Han Yi said: "As I said just now, all diplomacy is out of my own interests. I will see whoever is more important. Nothing comes first and then comes. As for the moment, Lu Dongzan is more important, so I naturally see him first."

Xiao Rui is a kind person and does not agree with Han Yi's words, but he just made a cover. The matter was not under his control and said, "Then--then you can do whatever you want."

The next day!

Han Yi came to Ci'en Temple just at noon and visited Lu Dongzan. He came at this time, and clearly had no intention of going out for a walk with Lu Dongzan. He would talk about the main things first.

"Oh, Mr. Han is here, Lu Dongzan is in a position to welcome him. I forgive my guilt and forgive me."

Judging from this greeting, Lu Dongzan is familiar with Central Plains culture.

Han Yi bowed and said, "The big talk is so heavy, it's too late to come down. Please forgive me."

However, there was an old man standing next to Lu Dongzan, who was Tang Xuanzang.

"Amitabha, I haven't seen you for many days. How are Mr. Han doing so lately?"

Xuanzang of Tang Dynasty practiced Buddhist rituals.

When Lu Dongzan saw that Tang Xuanzang was very respectful and polite to Han Yi, a fledgling boy, and thought to himself, this person is really extraordinary!

Han Yi bowed and said, "Master Meng is worried, I am fine, I am fine, Master is fine."

Tang Xuanzang nodded with a smile.

Han Yi said curiously again: "Do you know each other?"

Tang Xuanzang smiled and said, "When I went to the Western Regions, I passed by Tubo. Thanks to the great care of the emperor, I was able to be safe and sound."

Lu Dongzan smiled and said, "The master said it was so serious. He was innocent and did not care about the obstacles of the road, traveling through mountains and rivers to the Western Regions to learn scriptures. It was admirable. Dongzan just slightly the friendship of the landlords, which was not worth mentioning."

Han Yi laughed secretly, is this a sarcastic word? Go to Tubo, if you don’t have your Lu Dongzan escort, you will not be safe and sound. This is obviously a satirical mockery of you!

After the three of them greeted each other for a moment, Tang Xuanzang said goodbye.

As soon as Tang Xuanzang left, Lu Dongzan immediately became extremely enthusiastic. He stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Han, please come in and ask."

"please!"

Han Yi bowed and then came to the house with Lu Dongzan.

After sitting down, Lu Dongzan helped Han Yi get a cup of warm tea with his own hands, and said excitedly: "To be honest with Mr. Han, I have only been to Chang'an for a day or two, and the name of Mr. Han is already well-known. The story about Mr. Han is even more exciting than the other, which is amazing. It is my honor to be able to meet young talents like Mr. Han today. Unfortunately, this temple is not convenient to drink, so I use tea instead of wine and toast Mr. Han a cup."

Han Yi raised his glass and said, "I have been praised by the great minister. I have long heard of the great minister's name. It is not just thunderous. If the stories below are more exciting than the other, then it is a legendary figure. It is the intelligence and talent of the great minister back then that has led to a great marriage between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo. I met today, but I have fulfilled a great wish in my life. This cup of tea should be regarded as my respect for the great minister. Han Yi should respect it first."

Han Yi finished speaking and drank it all in one go.

How beautiful this is said, a legend, how happy it is to appreciate it! Lu Dongzan's heart flashed and couldn't help but enjoy it, but he immediately reacted and quickly drank the cup of tea and thought, this person is really good at speaking.

I'm afraid of you if you fool me? Han Yi's expression is natural and he can't stand the meaning of compliment at all. It seems that the heartfelt words from the inside out make people accept it calmly, put down the tea cup, took the teapot first, and poured tea for Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "How dare you, how dare you?"

Han Yi couldn't stand this grandson pretending, and he was still fifty years old. But he knew that the more this kind of person, the more terrible he was, because this kind of person was a perfect way to achieve his goal. He smiled and said, "This is what the younger generation should do. Today, I will fall in love with the great stars. Even if this ordinary tea is drunk like a good wine, it is really a thousand cups of wine that meets a close friend."

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he kept getting goosebumps and laughed: "It's so good. I also feel like I wish I had met too late!"

Han Yi put down the teapot, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Then let's not talk about business today, and drink freely. What do you think?"

Don't talk about official affairs? Could it be that he came for official affairs?

Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed a few times. How could he drink this cup of tea and smiled and said, "After all, there is no wine today, I'm afraid there will be something unhappy. Why don't we talk about the business first and then drink it tomorrow. Wouldn't it be even more enjoyable? Mr. Han thought?"

"That's it!" Han Yi said: "But I still want to take Da Xiang to take a walk today."

When is it now? I will probably have a curfew when I go out. Lu Dong praised and said, "I won't leave tomorrow. After the talk today, it's a matter of doing it. I'll have fun in the future."

Han Yi nodded and said, "It makes sense for everyone to speak out. Well, let's finish the business today and have fun tomorrow."

“That’s, that’s.”

Lu Dongzan put down the teacup and said with a hint of excitement: "Is it because Your Majesty has agreed to help me with Tubo?"

Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.

Han Yi couldn't bear to tell him the cruel reality of this look and expression, so he put down the teacup and said, "Da Xiang, you and I will fall into the same state as before when I see it, then I might as well say it straight. You know that I am not well acquainted with the world and have never received foreign guests. If there is any inappropriate words, please forgive me."

Lu Dongzan was a little nervous when he heard this. After a few words, he could tell that Han Yi seemed to be in the world and was not very well-educated. He said politely, "When Mr. Han saw that he had something to say, you and I were both ministers and they all acted on orders. Whoever blamed him would blame him."

"That's, that's!"

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "I have heard of Da Xiang. Prince Heyuan had arrived in Chang'an a few days ago. He also asked for help from my Tang Dynasty. As for what he said, it was probably similar to what Da Xiang said that day."

Lu Dongzan said excitedly: "Mr. Han, the Noh Bo is clearly trying to provoke the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and is willing to reap the benefits of fishermen. His heart is as vicious as snakes and scorpions."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Actually, the battle between you Tubo and Tuyuhun is no longer a secret. Maybe you have all your difficulties, but I also hope that Daxiang can understand our Tang Dynasty. Whether it is Tubo or Tuyuhun, they are all my vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and they are all married to my Tang Dynasty. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh!"
