Chapter 1876 The emperor is always the emperor

After leaving Liangyi Hall, Li Ji left excitedly and ignored Zhang Wenguan and the others because he knew that Zhang Wenguan and the others must have opposed it, but he really wanted to fight.

Because since Li Shimin's death and Lu Dongzan took power, this initiative has always been in the hands of Tubo. Every time, Tubo took the initiative to provoke war, the real golden scoundrel was there, but there was Goguryeo at that time. In the hearts of every military general, Goguryeo must be destroyed. This is much more meaningful than Tubo, but Tubo has repeatedly provoked it, and they are all in their hearts.

You should know that the military generals of this era are invincible in the world, but they have not yet decided on the victory or defeat with Tubo.

In fact, the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty also advocated military merits, and Wang Xuandao and others were also very tough. The gentry themselves were xenophobic, but this opportunity was really not a good time. Now the domestic development is very good, and it has just improved. When you suddenly change, there will be more variables.

The ministers are all worried!

When Zhang Wenguan arrived at the Secretariat, he immediately shouted, "How can Your Majesty make such a hasty decision? No, we have to submit a memorial to let Your Majesty take it back."

Zheng Shanxing expressed his sorrow and said, "Tubo is not Goguryeo, it is not so easy to defeat. Even if you win, you will lose 800 yuan. If so, all our efforts will be in vain."

Changsun Yan wondered: "How could Your Majesty make a decision so easily this time? We are not prepared to start a war at all!"

Cui Jieren frowned and suddenly looked at Han Yi. Seeing that Han Yi didn't say a word, he sat in his seat in a daze, so he said, "Shangshu Ling, what Your Majesty trusts the most is you. I'm afraid that only you can dissuade Your Majesty from taking back his life."

Han Yi was slightly stunned, glanced around and said, "Xiao Bolu must be taken back. If it is not taken back, our Tang Dynasty will lose control of the countries in the Western Regions. But if you don't want to break out in a full-scale war with Tubo, then there is only one way."

"What's the solution?"

"Support Your Majesty's decision."

"What?"

Everyone looked at Han Yi in surprise.

Han Yi said: "Don't forget that Your Majesty is not saying that he wants to go to war with Tubo, but wants to take back Xiao Bolu. This is natural. Tubo takes advantage of our Central Plains crisis to annex Xiao Bolu. This is an unrighteous act, but if Tubo dares to fight back, then starts war."

"But once this conflict occurs, anything can happen!" Liu Xiang said.

Han Yi said: "If Your Majesty does not do this, what if Tubo really sends troops to the Anxi Protectorate, then should we fight or not?"

Everyone was silent.

Han Yi said: "It is imperative to regain Xiaobolu. What we have to do now is to avoid a full-scale war with Tubo. The only way is to be prepared to fight to the end. Those who are arrogant are afraid of being killed. Only when we unite, Tubo will feel scared. As long as Tubo does not dare to start a war, there will be no full-scale war. Therefore, we must support Your Majesty and let Tubo see our determination, they will naturally be timid."

Wang Xuandao said: "Then what should we do?"

Han Yi said: "I will report to Your Majesty to temporarily cut off contact with Tubo and repatriate all the Tubo princes and nobles who stayed in Chang'an."

Cui Jieren and the others nodded slightly.

They are all a new generation, young and energetic, not those traditional civil officials. They understand Han Yi very well.

Although old civil officials such as Zhang Wenguan and Liu Xiangdao did not agree, they all agreed and could only nod and agreed.

Han Yi was Li Zhi's confidant. Although he was a little confused at the time, he quickly realized Li Zhi's intention and he had to support him. If he didn't support him, he would definitely have conflicts with Li Zhi, because his current status is different. He is the Shangshu Ling and the head of the prime minister. If he took the lead in opposing, the ministers in the court would oppose him and the people would oppose him. Now that Han Yi is so prestige, Li Zhi would be very embarrassed.

But the one who lost must be Han Yi, because the military supports Li Zhi's decision. If Li Ji does not support it, Li Zhi would not do so.

Since Han Yi understood Li Zhi’s thoughts, of course he also knew what to do.

Han Yi took the lead in submitting a memorial, scolding Tubo, and then asked Li Zhi to repatriate the prince and noble children sent to Chang'an to study.

Cui Jieren and the others also submitted memorials, condemning Tubo's annexation of Xiao Bolu, demanding to cut off trade with Tubo, and even break off diplomatic relations.

At the same time, Han Yi published an article in the Tang Daily in the name of Shangshu Province, condemning Tubo and bullying our Tang Dynasty vassal states. Anyway, all the bad debts in the past were dug out.

But they were careful to defend themselves, which was to target the Tubo annexation of Xiao Bolu, not to target the country of Tubo, nor to start a war with Tubo, but to protect our vassal states and use non-military means to sanction Tubo.

Li Zhi also showed great domineeringness and immediately ordered the repatriation of Tubo's princes and noble children who were studying in Chang'an, and immediately closed the border trade with Tubo, and also condemned Tubo's actions in the northwest by telling the world.

The court was very united and firm.

Although the people did not want to make a big move, and most of them did not know where Xiao Bolu was, the court did not say that they would go to war, but just sanctioned Tubo. In addition, Han Yi took out all the bad things, which made the people feel that they were indeed cowardly to Tubo in recent years. Tubo has always provoked and is despicable and shameless. Our brother Han almost died there, but we can't bear it anymore. We should give them a little color. Our Tang Dynasty is a super empire and we can't always bully Tubo.

This person has self-esteem, especially the people of the Tang Dynasty today. Because their thoughts have become more open and their national consciousness has been strengthened, they all think that our Tang Dynasty is the best, how can people bully it? Li Zhi's determination showed made the people full of confidence, and public opinion is one-sided, condemning Tubo's actions.

At this moment, Chang'an was changing, and immediately covered up the limelight of the new policy. Li Zhi immediately returned to the center of the stage and the center of the world. Because he had to make the decision on these things, the whole country began to revolve around him again. This is the normal situation.

It can be seen that Li Zhi is so skillful. Once he made a move, Han Yi was honestly allowed to go aside.

Inside Liangyi Hall.

"Haha, I'll just say that the Chinese civil and military officials in the court know my mind best is your Han Yi!"

Li Zhi sat on the collapse and laughed.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from your Majesty. At that time, I was still scared."

"Is that true?" Li Zhi smiled and said, "Then why didn't you object at that time!"

Han Yi said: "Because I didn't know what Your Majesty meant at that time, but I firmly believe that Your Majesty will never go to war rashly regardless of the people of the world."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Then do you think my plan will work?"

Han Yi said: "I also think that Tubo should not dare to start a war. If Tubo wants to start a war with our Tang Dynasty, it would be the best time a year ago. At that time, the Central Plains was in crisis. They didn't dare to start a war rashly at that time, so there is no need to say more now."

"I think so too." Li Zhi nodded and said, "So you must remember that it is the most urgent thing to fully implement the new policy. Don't be distracted by things, you must implement the new policy well."

He just wanted to use this matter to return to the center of the stage and gather the ministers and the people around him. He didn't want to mess up the country. He yelled very domineeringly, but he still put the new policy first in his heart.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will implement the new policy."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "There are still."

Suddenly, he suddenly frowned and gently supported his forehead with his hands.

"His Majesty."

Han Yi and Zhang Desheng's face tightened.

Li Zhi waved his hand without opening his eyes and said, "It's an old problem, it's not a problem."

Zhang Desheng hurriedly used his eyes with Han Yi.

Han Yi understood it and said, "Your Majesty, you rest first, and I will take your leave first!"

Li Zhi nodded slightly.

Han Yi bowed and turned around and left. The moment he left the door, he glanced back with a slanted glance, and saw Zhang Desheng lying down while supporting Li Zhi, thinking, you are indeed very powerful, and you put all your power into your hands. It’s a pity that you don’t have a strong body.

Li Zhi was lying on the couch, feeling very upset. At this time, it was his time to show off, but he was always unable to do so. He thought to himself, if I didn’t have this disease, it would be so good! It’s a pity that I must not let Honger be the same as me at that time. Thinking of this, he frowned.

After lying in Liangyi Hall for more than an hour, Li Zhi gradually recovered from his dizziness, but he did not return to his bedroom, but went to the East Palace.

Li Zhi first came to Li Hong's study and saw four or five small eunuchs sorting out the memorials piled up. It was impossible for such a big empire to be nothing, but Li Hong could not handle it, so he could only leave it on first. This accumulated more and more, which shows that being an emperor is really not an easy job.

"See Your Majesty, the Little Man."

When the eunuchs saw the emperor suddenly come, they were so scared that they saluted quickly.

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "You guys are busy with yours."

"The villain obeys the order."

Li Zhi picked up a memorial casually, but he couldn't see clearly at all. He just touched it gently and asked, "Has no one been here recently?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the little people have been sorting out these memorials here in the past few days, but no one else has been here."

Li Zhi nodded, put down the memorial again, and then turned around and went out.

He came to Li Hong's bedroom again. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wu Meiniang walking out of the inner room with a bowl, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves a little tired.

"His Majesty?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly saw Li Zhi’s door, and was a little scared, and then rushed forward, "I will meet your Majesty."

"No gift!"

Li Zhi came to the couch and sat down and asked, "How is Honger's health?"

Wu Meiniang said: "It's much better than the previous few days, but it's still easier to get tired. I just finished the medicine and went to bed."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Thank you so hard these days, the Queen."

Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Hong'er is my concubine's son. It is natural for her mother to take care of her son."

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded with a smile, and suddenly rubbed his eyes with his hands.

Wu Meiniang said, "Your Majesty, you look a little tired. You have to pay attention to rest. Let me leave it here."

Li Zhi sighed: "I want to take a little longer, but now the new policy has just been promulgated, and there are many things waiting for me to deal with."

Wu Meiniang said: "But state affairs can never be handled. Your Majesty should put the dragon body first."

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "You are tired too! Stop standing, sit down."
