Even though Li Zhi left angrily, the civil and military officials in the court were not concerned about it. After the scattered dynasty, the ministers gathered together and expressed their determination not to agree to the emperor's personal expedition. Anyway, this law does not blame everyone, and we must all oppose it, and the emperor has no choice but to do anything to us.

On this matter, everyone's opinions were surprisingly consistent and their attitude was very firm, and they wanted to fight the emperor to the end.

"It's outrageous. It seems that I am so gentle to them that they are lawless and dare to treat me like this. I can't spare them."

On the other hand, Li Zhi returned to the harem and threw something down the ground. Zhang Desheng and two little eunuchs stood at the door, trembling. Li Zhi dreamed of conquering Goguryeo and pacifying Liaodong by himself, and regarded this as a landmark achievement beyond Li Shimin. But he never thought that the civil and military officials in the court were so ruthless and poured cold water on him, and he didn't give him any chance. He was very angry.

When Li Shimin was about to be in charge of the army, although some people opposed it, there was no such objection as it is now. No one agreed. Didn’t the ministers do this just to suggest that he was not as good as Li Shimin? This made him very angry and looked down on me too much.

Little did they know that it was because of Li Shimin's first imperial command, so this time everyone is firmly opposed. If it weren't for Li Shimin's imperial command, so there wouldn't be so many people who opposed it. At that time, Li Shimin did assist Goguryeo. If you want to play like this again, wouldn't you remember to eat or fight? This war requires money.

Wu Meiniang, who rushed back, saw the situation and naturally knew what was for, but she pretended not to know and panicked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Li Zhi said: "It's just right for you to come, come and judge me."

He felt deeply wronged at this time and needed a person to talk to, so he told Wu Meiniang about the matter about the hall just now, especially criticizing Han Yi, and by the way he expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Ji.

Wu Meiniang remained silent after hearing this.

When Li Zhi saw that the queen was like the minister in the hall, he was very upset and said, "Why don't you speak?"

Wu Meiniang asked without answering, "Dare you ask Your Majesty, what are the benefits for them to oppose Your Majesty, your commander-in-chief, your personal expedition?"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, unable to say anything.

Wu Meiniang said again: "Put it aside the right and wrong. I think they will stop Your Majesty without any selfishness. This is entirely due to the loyalty of the minister to the monarch. Your Majesty should be happy, not complaining."

Li Zhi's expression calmed down a little, and said, "I understand this in my heart. However, it is not only the wish of my father, but also what I have always longed for. When I cancelled the Liaodong Battle, it attracted a lot of criticism. However, this move was not what I wanted, but was forced by the situation at that time. I also wanted to prove that I am not a weak monarch. Once the time is ripe, I will definitely send troops decisively. I want to lead the army in person, and I want to show my determination to pacify Liaodong, not as they thought at the beginning."

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "I understand Your Majesty's thoughts, but if Your Majesty does not lead the army to personally, will the civil and military officials in the court and the people of the world not see Your Majesty's determination? I don't think so. In addition, Your Majesty has ever thought about why even Sikong does not support Your Majesty's personal army to personally? Your Majesty should know that no one in this world is more loyal to Your Majesty than Sikong."

Li Zhi said: "In your opinion, why is this?"

Wu Meiniang said: "In my opinion, Sikong just learned from the lessons of the late emperor's conquest of Liaodong, believing that if Your Majesty leads the army in person, this will be more harmful than good."

Li Zhi was displeased and said, "Is I so unbearable?"

"I am definitely not this." Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "Your Majesty has thought about whether your Majesty wants to lead the army in person, the first thing Sikong and others think of is how to ensure your safety, and secondly how to eliminate Goguryeo. After all, Your Majesty's safety is higher than anything else, and it is not comparable to that Goguryeo, even ten Goguryeo can't compare. But in this way, Sikong and our generals of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to attack with all their strength. There are always concerns in their hearts and cannot be fully used.

In addition, Your Majesty has just recovered from illness. If the emperor was in charge of the army at this time and was going to the poor mountains and rivers of Goguryeo, I would say a very disrespectful thing, if Your Majesty feels unwell due to the fatigue of boats and cars, the battle may end suddenly. By then, our army will be exhausted and it will be very difficult to conquer Goguryeo again."

In fact, Han Yi and the others knew these words in their hearts, but as ministers, they could not say that. Only Wu Meiniang could say that, after all, they were husband and wife.

After hearing this, Li Zhi sighed, and then sat down.

Wu Meiniang also sat down and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why you want to lead the army in person is to show your determination is to know what this time is. Although Goguryeo is a small place and is not worth worrying, it has failed since Emperor Yang of Sui and several expeditions. If this time, it cannot pacify Liaodong, it will greatly harm the morale of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Your Majesty will fight this battle at all costs. However, Your Majesty will make Sikong and others feel scruples and cannot do their best, which will be detrimental to our army. Then Your Majesty should give up the idea of ​​personally expeditioning for this. This is the real cost of all costs."

Speaking of this, she smiled slightly and said, "Besides, if this dispatch of troops could pacify Liaodong, would this historical book record this achievement on Emperor Yang of Sui?"

Li Zhi was very embarrassed when he heard this. Wu Meiniang's last words touched his mind. He just wanted to be greedy for this achievement. He nodded awkwardly and said, "You are right. I almost made a fool of myself and delayed the big thing. I am really ashamed!"

Wu Meiniang felt relieved and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. According to my opinion, although Your Majesty cannot do this, it is still very necessary to say this, because in this way, the soldiers in the army, the ministers in the hall, and the people of the people all know that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this dispatch of troops, which can greatly boost morale."

"You!" Li Zhi shook his head with a smile

What's even more wonderful is that because of this letter from Japan, no one has linked the matter of slavery with Goguryeo, because it is impossible for someone to deliberately manipulate it behind the scenes. No matter how capable you are, it is impossible for Japan to write such a stupid letter, which is unimaginable to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This helped Han Yi a lot. He originally prepared many expressions to hide the connection between these two things, but now he no longer needs it, making him very relaxed. He hummed a small song and came to the Ministry of Revenue.

However, Zhang Daxiang was not as relaxed as him. He heard that Han Yi came to the Ministry of Revenue, so he hurried over.

"Shangshu Han, depending on the situation, Your Majesty is determined to attack Goguryeo this time." Zhang Daxiang said.

Han Yi nodded and said, "This intention to send troops must be strong, but I think it is impossible for the imperial commander to personally fight. The civil and military officials in the court agreed, and Your Majesty could not just act alone."

Zhang Daxiang said: "But regardless of whether Your Majesty will lead the army to the army in person, the important task of food and grass will definitely fall on our household department. This military strategy is full of military tactics. Before the army moves, food and grass will go first. I think this situation may start war next year, and it will not be too long for our Ministry of Revenue. Moreover, if Your Majesty insists on going his own and heading to the army in person, this will put more pressure on our Ministry of Revenue and we must prepare in time."

Speaking of this, he paused and analyzed: "There is no food and grass in Guanzhong, so he can only mobilize food and grass from Luoyang and Henan. Fortunately, the last time Taizong Emperor attacked Goguryeo, the food and grass arrangement was quite appropriate. Now we are facing the same opponent. We can use the original method of Taizong Emperor Emperor, so that everyone is familiar with it, so it should be time to hurry."

"Xiao Gui Cao Sui?" Han Yi looked at Zhang Daxiang with a slanted eyes.

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said in surprise: "Is there any problem with this?"

"There is no problem." Han Yi shook his head and said, "But this is not my style. You know my style. The most annoying thing in my life is that I believe in and love ancient times. How could I be Xiao Gui and Cao Sui and stick to the rules."

Zhang Daxiang burst into tears when she heard this and said, "Shangshu Han, this is not a joke, so don't joke."

He was really as anxious as the ant on the hot pan at this time. If the war starts next year, there will be no more time left, so he has to arrange it immediately.

Han Yi said seriously: "When did I joke about this? The food and grass have been prepared long ago, and you can get it as you fight."

Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "This - why don't I know this?"

"Because this doesn't require the Ministry of Revenue to do anything."

"ah?"

The more Zhang Daxiang listened, the more confused he became. He didn’t need the Ministry of Revenue to fight a war? This is really unheard of!

Han Yi smiled and said, "Shandong has been a prosperous place since ancient times, with fertile land. What is this mere grain and grass?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "Of course I know this, but now the food and grass are scattered in various prefectures and counties. Our Ministry of Revenue has to order the food and grass to transport the food and grass to the front line."

Han Yi said: "This is too troublesome, and life in each state and county is not easy. Now that the country is developing rapidly, they have to leave some money to develop the economy. We cannot let war hinder domestic development."

Zhang Daxiang said in surprise: "Then where does this food and grass come from?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Of course, I'm asking about the landlords, what you should know about Shandong's big landlords. They have been operating in the local area for hundreds of years, and are the area with the largest number of gentry. The manors are endless, with food and grass piled up like mountains. Anyway, they are still there, so it's better to use them for war."

Zhang Daxiang was angry and funny when he heard this, and said, "Shangshu Han, how could he take out the food and grass from that family to fight for the court?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Did you forget what I did?"

Zhang Daxiang looked at Han Yi with a confused look on her face.

Han Yi said: "I am a businessman, and the biggest skill of a businessman is to ask customers to take out the money from their pockets. They have made the food and supplies."

Zhang Daxiang still looked at Han Yi with disbelief.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Do you think I'm going to joke about such a big thing?"

Zhang Daxiang said: "But this is incredible."

Han Yi said: "This is a businessman, and businessmen do incredible things. Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue does not have to worry about food and grass. Not to mention food and grass, there is no need to arrange anyone. Our Ministry of Revenue will focus on domestic development. Next year, our task will be even more important, trademarks, slave taxes, grain transportation, etc., many things are waiting for us to do. Forget this war, our Ministry of Revenue will only focus on domestic development."

Zhang Daxiang is a very outstanding official and has rich experience. He knows that war will put great pressure on the country. There are many things to do, but Han Yi is better, and it is not easy to put it lightly. If Han Yi had not created many miracles, he would have really slapped Han Yi in the face. Your dream was a little too exaggerated, and said: "Even - don't even need manpower?"

Han Yi said angrily: "Doesn't Shandong have no people? We recruit laborers and force the people to transport food? It may not be necessary for you and I to go back to push the cart. But in this era, slaves don't work for free and still work for the people. Is it interesting?"
