Chapter 1407 Central Plains Overlord

Everyone knows what kind of bird mansion is.

He is different from Xu Jingzong. Xu Jingzong is at least open and honest. If he hates you, he will tell you in every way that he hates you very much. You'd better be ten meters away from me. No matter what you say, he will object, and he won't say it's hidden in his heart. Li Yifu is a real villain. He won't oppose everything you say, it has nothing to do with him. At most, he will make things difficult for Han Yi. He is the kind of villain who only cares about his own interests and is an extremely selfish villain.

In fact, what does Tubo have to do with him? With his personality, he would not care about this matter. Needless to say, Lu Dongzan must have given him a lot of money, from ancient times to the present, he has taken money to eliminate disasters for others.

But Lu Dongzan would not be stupid enough to hope that Han Yi would be punished by a few words from Li Yi's mansion. This is simply a fool. Then Lu Dongzan must have thought that the Tang Dynasty would most likely send troops to garrison Tuyuhun. This is related to his plan, and he would definitely try his best to stop this.

Li Zhidao: "Why did Li Zhongshu say that?"

Li Yifu said: "Your Majesty, now Princess Honghua inherits the throne of Khan, which is more beneficial to my Tang Dynasty's control of Tuyuhun. My Tang Dynasty should provide assistance. Therefore, I have never opposed the gift of food and money from Your Majesty. However, if you send troops, please think twice before you act. Tubo and Tuyuhun are already deeply in the hatred, and conflicts often occur between tribes. Our Tang Dynasty can control the courts of their two countries, but cannot control those tribes.

If my Tang Dynasty was stationed there, once a conflict occurred between the two tribes, it would directly involve both my Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and then my Tang Dynasty would be in a dilemma. Now that Tubo has agreed to not invade again, there will be no big fights in the next few years. At most, it will be mutual struggles between tribes, but this is just a small conflict. But if my Tang army is also there, it may cause greater conflicts, so I think this move is extremely inappropriate."

Li Zhi's expression was a little hesitant when he heard this.

Han Yi laughed and said, "Li Zhongshu is really a talented person. His words pulled my Tang Dynasty from the position of overlord of the world. Han Shi was ashamed of his own!"

Li Yifu was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Han Yi ignored him and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, do you agree with what Li Zhongshu said?"

You said this, do I still dare to agree? Li Zhi coughed lightly and said, "If you have different opinions, why not say it?"

Han Yi said: "When the late emperor was in power, all the surrounding vassals called the late emperor the Khan Tian. Who dared not to obey the words of Tian Khan? This is the momentum that the overlord of the world should have. A look or a word can scare the other party. Li Zhongshu's words simply humiliated me, the Tang Dynasty."

Li Yifu said anxiously: "You are slandering."

I criticize your mother! Han Yi said: "Am I wrong? How did Li Zhongshu say that just now? What are the frequent struggles among tribes that will involve the Tang Dynasty. What do you mean by saying?"

Li Yifu said: "Am I wrong?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "You are not a question of whether you are wrong or right, but you are nakedly humiliating me. Sometimes I really doubt whether you were bullied by Hu people or Tubo when you were a child. How could you be afraid of it? What is our goal to station troops? It is to ensure that there will be no conflict between the two places. If it is still the same as before, then what should we do? There was a struggle between their tribes before, but now that the Tang Dynasty has intervened, there should be some changes. Our meaning is to let you quit the army and you are still fighting. Wouldn't that be slap me in the face of the Tang Dynasty? Can you still be called the overlord of the Central Plains? I think it's just a joke. I've already sent troops to station, but I can't beat the words of Tian Khan. I wondered why the larger the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the more the population, the stronger the national strength, and the smaller the prestige."

Li Zhi's face gradually became gloomy when he heard it. Isn't this saying that he is far inferior to Li Shimin? Because everything is stronger than before, only the monarch has changed, and his prestige has weakened.

But this is not Han Yi's nonsense.

When Li Shimin was in power, he said, if you don’t listen, I will beat you, Tuyuhun, and attack Tuyuhun, and Khan changed it to you. Gaochangjutsu, and directly destroyed Goguryeo. Goguryeo also sent troops immediately. If Li Shimin hadn’t died suddenly, then the 300,000 troops would have gone to Goguryeo. Although there was a bit of chaos behind this, it was precisely because Li Shimin sent out decisively and had a big stick and a red date to impartialize the surrounding ethnic groups, because everyone knows that Li Shimin’s temperament is. If you dare to jump, he will really hit you. If you don’t joke, you will be very good at it. Therefore, they are very obedient.

However, as soon as Li Zhigang ascended the throne, Asina Helu jumped up, and Tubo also kept making small moves. This was because when Li Zhigang ascended the throne, he advocated the policy of rest and rest. The court agreed very much. This was definitely right. Otherwise, the country would be over. However, Li Zhi was too arrogant and would rather suffer some losses than make a big move. Moreover, Changsun Wuji abdicated again, which was even more amazing.

However, Li Zhi is also an ambitious emperor, not a cowardly emperor. He doesn't want to always stand in the shadow of Li Shimin. Han Yi's words really hurt him. You can settle the problems between the two countries with just one word. Even if you send troops, you can't settle the fight between the two tribes. The gap is really big.

Li Yifu is not stupid. Of course he knows Li Zhi, but in fact he doesn't understand. Just looking at Li Zhi's face, he can understand it. He said in a trepidation: "Your Majesty, I don't mean this, I am just worried-!"

"Your dear, I just hope to hear different opinions." Li Zhi's expression changed, he waved his hand with a smile, suddenly looked at Li Ji, Ren Yaxiang, and Xu Jingzong, and said, "I wonder what the three dear dears think?"

"I think Mr. Han is right. My great Tang Dynasty and the overlord of the Central Plains, why should we look at others' expressions?" Xu Jingzong said quickly.

He is not stupid. He can usually ignore Li Zhi's mood and say a few words, but he cannot do anything randomly on this issue because this is Li Zhi's heart disease. At that time, Li Shimin liked Li Tai more, but he didn't like Li Zhi very much. He felt that Li Zhi was not like him, indecisive and lacked a bit of domineeringness. Li Tai should be smarter. It was the arrangements of the ministers such as Changsun Wuji and others, and all kinds of conspiracies to help Li Zhi get to the throne. In fact, this was the victory of the Guanlong Group led by Changsun Wuji, not Li Zhi's victory. Therefore, Li Zhi was very eager to prove that he was right and that I was the true emperor.

Even Xu Jingzong said so, Li Ji and Ren Yaxiang certainly supported Han Yi.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Actually, I think so. Princess Honghua is my clan sister and a royal relative. Now that she has ascended the throne of Khan, if I don't protect her, how do people in the world view me? Even their own sisters cannot be protected. Can the people still hope that I will protect them? The Tang Dynasty not only needs to send troops to station, but also clearly tell the tribes such as Chihai and Bailan that if they dare to provoke trouble, I will let their entire tribe disappear."

Li Zhi, a gentle emperor, actually said such words. Although his tone was still very gentle, Xu Jingzong and the others knew that Han Yi's words really angered him. I have to say that only Han Yi dared to say this. They dared not. If they didn't say it well, Li Zhi would get angry with them.

Han Yi shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Zhi glanced at Han Yi and said in a pun: "This is all my credit for you!"

Of course he knew that this was just Han Yi's provocation, but Han Yi was right and he shouldn't have stepped back any longer.

In fact, before this, Han Yi and Li Zhi were the same virtues, both sent by doves, but they didn't want to fight this war, they just wanted to maintain the status quo. Therefore, he exhausted all the power of the prehistoric times to prevent the war. However, the more he did this, the faster and fierce the war broke out. Therefore, he changed his mind and could not just use red dates to coax the other party. Then Lu Dongzan was not a kindergarten child, so how could he give up his grand ambitions because of his sweet words?

This also benefited Han Yi a lot. He gradually realized that if the Tang Dynasty wants to make decisions and make his words more authoritative, he must first wave the big stick. Whether to fight or not is another matter. If you don’t show the big stick, no one will listen to you.

Li Zhi said again: "But no matter what, the king of Tubo has written to apologize. I don't want to destroy the relationship established by the late emperor with Tubo. So, Li Zhongshu, you write a reply for me and tell Tubo that I also hope that the two countries can maintain this hard-won relationship. But at the same time, I also hope that Tubo will not have another war with Tuyuhun."

Li Yifu nodded and said, "I obey the order."

Li Zhi said to Ren Yaxiang again: "Ren Shangshu, Tuyuhun now has to rely entirely on the protection of our Tang Dynasty, so I hope to send more troops in Liangzhou and Shanzhou."

Ren Yaxiang said: "I obey the order."

Li Zhi said to Han Yi again: "As for sending troops to station, Han Aiqing gave a more detailed memorial."

"I obey the order."

Li Zhi smiled and nodded and said, "No matter what, Han Aiqing, with his own strength, saved half of Tuyuhun's country, resolved the battle between Tubo and Tuyuyu, and helped Princess Honghua to inherit the Khan throne and stabilize the situation in Tuyuhun. He made great contributions. It just so happened that Gao Shangshu was sick for a long time and had been writing to me, saying that he was unable to manage the finances anymore, and hoped to retire and live a life of his life. And you did a very good job in the Ministry of Revenue. I plan to promote you to the Minister of Revenue, be granted the title of Minister of Revenue, and be granted the title of Jiangdu County, with a fief of thousands of households."

"I thank you for your kindness," Han Yi shouted.

In fact, this reward is very false, it sounds nicer. In fact, everyone knows that Han Yi has always done the job of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Gao Luxing has long handed over the power to him. Who is Gao Luxing? Look, Han Yi has made great contributions this time, so he quickly wrote a letter to ask for retirement and let Han Yi come to manage the Ministry of Revenue with justification.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "By the way, Han Aiqing, I heard that you have also visited the Great Protectorate?"

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
