Xiao Mansion.

"What? Are you going to be a mission to Tuyuhun?" Xiao Wuyi looked at Han Yi in surprise.

Han Yi nodded and said, "But it is not certain yet."

Xiao Wuyi frowned slightly and said, "Even Your Majesty has not decided yet, please tell me the news, which shows that you have to go."

Han Yi did not make a statement, which was considered a pity. He had no choice. The ministers in the court were unwilling to work hard for this. Moreover, they all had their own reasons. Han Yi wanted to do this, mostly for his own interests and could only rely on himself to fight for it.

Xiao Wuyi pondered for a moment and said, "But husband, in my opinion, even if you go, you will find it difficult to achieve your goal. Don't you often say that it will rain and your mother will get married, and you will not be able to stop it. Unless."

"Unless what?"

"Unless my Tang Dynasty sends troops, no matter which side I help you. Nowadays, just opening your mouth can't solve the problem."

Xiao Wuyi raised his fist and said, "You have to speak with your fists. Why does Tuyuhun listen to my Tang Dynasty so much now? Isn't it because my grandfather beat them up? Since then, Tuyuhun never dares to invade my Helong area of ​​the Tang Dynasty again. By the same token, if you want to quit both sides, you have to show enough strength in front of them so that they will listen to you."

Han Yi sighed and said, "I just didn't want to make a big fight, so I decided to go on a mission to Tuyuhun. If I want to use force, then why should I do it?"

Xiao Wuyi said: "This is the thinking of a businessman, and you always want to get the greatest reward at the lowest cost."

Han Yi didn't say anything, that's what he thought.

Xiao Wuyi said: "But it is not as simple as doing business between countries. Grandpa I said that the biggest fist in the past will be the final decision. There is no fairness to say. If you want to talk about me, let them bite their dogs first. When they fight almost, we will send troops to capture them all in one go."

Han Yi frowned and said, "Actually, Sikong said that's the same, but the military strength of Tubo is not worse than that of our Tang Dynasty. Now Lu Dongzan has mobilized more than 100,000 troops to stock up there. Obviously, he is prepared. If we want to prepare for war, we have to mobilize the army. In that case, Tubo may definitely be able to detect it. In addition, theirs are all slave soldiers and can afford to die, but our Tang Dynasty is a military household. If we fall into a protracted war, it will be unfavorable to our Tang Dynasty. If we lose, we will lose the entire northwest region. I always think that the risk of sending troops is too high."

Xiao Wuyi stumbled a few times, but in the end she didn't say anything more. In fact, she was extremely disagreeable. She was influenced by Li Jing and was a pure eagle card. She played it first. She also did this normally, but she was still unwilling to interfere with Han Yi's ideas. She just put forward her own opinions. Whether to accept it or not is Han Yi's own business.

The next day.

The envoys of Tubo and Tuyuhun arrived in Chang'an almost at the same time, and the time was almost the same, so Li Zhi met them at the same time.

Both sides had their own opinions, and they were red in the face of Li Zhi.

Tuyuhun insisted that it was all Tubo's conspiracy, deliberately attacked Abro's wife and children, angered Abro to send troops, and then invaded Tuyuhun on this ground, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could send troops to help.

However, the Tubo refuted the statement of Tuyuhun, and there was no evidence at all. Tubo had certain evidence, proving that Tuyuhun had crossed the red line and invaded Tubo. At the beginning, this was the rule set by the Tang Dynasty. Now the Tang Dynasty should be responsible for this, asking the Tang Dynasty to send troops to help and punish Tuyuhun.

In short, each has its own reasons and each has its own grievances.

It is difficult for this honest official to make up for family affairs, but the Tang Dynasty also participated in it and sent out supervising officials. Logically speaking, as the big brother, Datang should be fair.

Li Zhi felt a headache when he heard that he didn't know what to say. After they finished arguing, he asked them to rest first, and then summoned the ministers to discuss how to deal with it.

Du Zhenglun took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I think the words of the Tuyuhun envoy are just speculations. He has no evidence to prove that this is Lu Dongzan's conspiracy. On the contrary, Tubo is based on real evidence, and even our supervising officials can testify. This is an agreement established by our Tang Dynasty. Then our Tang Dynasty should send troops to help Tubo and attack Tuyuhun together."

When Han Yi heard this, he immediately understood that Du Zhenglun was talking to Li Ji.

Isn’t Li Ji the only meaning? He can divide Tuyuhun with Tubo, but Du Zhenglun polished this meaning, which is reasonable and well-founded. This is the difference between a politician and a general.

Lu Chengqing said, "No, no, Prince Heyuan is his cousin's wife. Besides, Prince Heyuan did not do anything to be sorry for me, Tang Dynasty, how could I take the blame for my Tang Dynasty?"

Du Zhenglun said: "The Tubo royal family also has a marriage with our royal family."

Xu Master Xu also said: "Even so, if our Tang Dynasty and Tubo send troops together, how should we divide the victory results? Moreover, the Tuyuhun tribes are nomadic peoples, closer to Tubo, far away from our Tang Dynasty, and on the plateau, there are many inconveniences when they manage them. I am afraid that they will be slowly eroded by Tubo, and more disasters will arise."

Li Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and his face looked embarrassed.

Han Yi suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think the cost of sending troops is too high, but if you ignore them, it is reasonable and unreasonable. After all, the agreement was presided over by our Tang Dynasty. Therefore, I think that the court can send an important minister to mediate the matter, which not only avoids the risk of sending troops, but also shows that our Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to this matter."

When Li Zhi heard this, he didn't understand and asked directly: "Then are you sure?"

Han Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Although I am not sure, I am willing to go and give it a try. Even if it is not successful, our Tang Dynasty will not lose anything."

Li Zhi nodded. Han Yi's words were very reasonable. The agreement was drafted by the Tang Dynasty and it was impossible to ignore it. If you send troops, the cost is too high and the variables are also great. And you don't know who to help. You can send an important minister of the court to mediate. This is OK. He said: "Okay! I appoint you as the Longxi Inspector to investigate this matter."

"I obey the order!"

Han Yi bowed his fists and said, "Your Majesty, what if it doesn't work?"

Li Zhi was stunned and looked embarrassed.

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is the interests of the Tang Dynasty. If the Wei ministers do not mediate successfully, a larger-scale war may break out between the two sides. Tubo and Tuyuhun are on the border of our Tang Dynasty, which is very close to our Tang Dynasty. Once the two sides start a full war, it is very likely that the crisis will quickly reach the border of our Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi said: "What should you do in your opinion?"

"I think you need to be fully prepared." Han Yi said: "I hope Your Majesty can mobilize the power of the troops in the areas near Tubo and Tuyuhun, so that I can make a complete response as soon as possible based on the results of the negotiations. If the news comes to Chang'an and then respond, it will be a bad opportunity."

Li Zhi looked at Li Ji.

Li Ji nodded and said, "The old minister thinks that Mr. Han is right."

Li Zhidao: "Okay, I will appoint you as the deputy general manager of the Longyou Road marching."

Xiao Mansion.

"How could you be asked to serve as an envoy? You are an important official of the court."

After Xiao Rui learned the news, he was a little surprised. Generally speaking, as long as the core interests of his country are not endangered, the prime minister will not be sent to serve as a mission. This is all the business of diplomatic officials. Two neighbors fight and send one prime minister to serve as an envoy. This is inappropriate.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Father-in-law, because this matter has happened because of me, I must come forward."

"That's right, you made this agreement by you at the beginning." Xiao Rui nodded and sighed again.

Han Yi saw at a glance that Xiao Rui was worried and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, I'm so sorry. Wuyi is pregnant now, and the son-in-law should be with her."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a woman outside say, "A real man is determined to be in all directions. When he is making achievements, how can he be concerned about his children's love? Dad, you will definitely say that, right?"

I saw Xiao Wuyi walking in with a smile.

Xiao Rui glanced at his daughter, laughed a few times, and said, "You are right. Eat the king's fortune and share your worries. Now that Your Majesty needs you, you will naturally be able to take the national affairs first. Don't worry, I will take good care of the ragged one."

Xiao Wuyi said, "He didn't take care of me at home, he was the second aunt who was taking care of me."

Han Yi laughed dryly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry for you for your husband."

Xiao Rui stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll arrange someone to prepare your luggage for you."

Han Yi hurriedly said, "How dare you bother your father-in-law this little thing?"

Xiao Wuyi said: "What Dad is best at is logistics."

Xiao Rui glared at his daughter angrily.

Xiao Wuyi was so scared that she spread her tongue. Han Yi also looked at Xiao Wuyi with a helpless look on his face. Are you trying to put me in a place of unfilial piety?

Xiao Rui shook his head and sighed, and walked out.

Han Yi immediately said: "Wow, you really dare to say it!"

"I blurted out too."

Xiao Wuyi patted his chest in fear, sat next to Han Yi and said, "Husband, you have to be careful when you go there. There is now a mess."

Han Yi said: "Don't worry, I'm just going to negotiate."

"I can't let it go." Xiao Wuyi said: "You gave me some food and grass and it would be a life-threatening death."

This woman is really! Han Yi said: "It's true that life is dead, but the reward is also huge. Do you think I was the third rank of the subordinates of the Zhongshu School? But this time, I will be very careful and will no longer act impulsively."

"You have to remember!"

Xiao Wuyi said: "You are not good at fighting, don't be heroes anymore."

"knew!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "It's just that you are pregnant now!"

Xiao Wuyi said, "You don't have to worry about this. With Second Aunt and the others here, you won't be your turn if you want to worry."

Han Yi nodded with a smile, but he still felt a little guilty because he knew that Xiao Wuyi was just to make him feel at ease. Any woman wanted her husband to be by her side when she was pregnant.

"Sister Wuyi, come to me!"

Yang Feixue suddenly walked in, "Huh? Han Yi is here too!"

Xiao Wuyi smiled and said, "It's not me looking for you, it's him looking for you."

Yang Feixue's face suddenly turned red because the backyard of Xiao's mansion has now become the office of the female teacher, so Yang Feixue comes here early every morning and does not leave until the evening.

The little girl misunderstood again. Han Yi glanced at Xiao Wuyi, handed her two grateful gazes, and told Yang Feixue about what she was going on for a business trip.

After hearing this, Yang Feixue was a little worried and said, "Then you must be careful!"

Because she has lived in an official family since she was a child, and her father and elder brother have often traveled on business trips, she has become accustomed to it and will not be worried about being unable to sleep.

Han Yi nodded and said, "But some things I have to tell you, it's about the textbooks. You are the one who knows me the best, and you also know what kind of textbooks I want. Therefore, I plan to hand it over to you."

"Ahem!!"

Xiao Wuyi suddenly coughed lightly.

Han Yi smiled and said, "If you are pregnant, just take less care of things."

Yang Feixue reacted and pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Xiao Wuyi gave Han Yi a slightly white look and said, "Do you still have to go to Yuanjiabao tomorrow?"

Han Yi laughed dryly and said, "It's not tomorrow, but waiting later. I still have a lot of things to tell you. Oh, it's a headache to think about it."
