Chapter 2026 Recharge your batteries

The Khitan battle ended so quickly, which was too different from Han Yi's original promise.

Wu Meiniang did not feel that she had gained much from it, nor did she think that there was much benefit in it. In addition, she didn't seem to care much about Han Yi and was not in charge of it. She was even more sure that her guess was not wrong. Han Yi deceived her. The real plan was not like this, at least it was not that simple. The benefits were not worth mentioning. So why not give it to the prince, so that she could benefit even more.

This is not in the plan, but Wu Meiniang believes that it is enough to be beneficial to her and does not need to care too much about Han Yi's plan. Whoever talks about feelings in politics will die quickly. Every politician starts from his own interests.

In addition, letting the prince marry the woman from the Yang family is actually to further consolidate the relationship with the prince. If you cannot be an emperor, you can also be an empress dowager who holds real power.

She always believed that she should have the initiative in the alliance with Han Yi. How to take the initiative depends on who needs the greater demand. All of this is trying to weaken her dependence on Han Yi.

She just wants to step on two boats, and she can't let Han Yi lead her nose. This is not her personality.

But Li Zhike is not a foolish person. Not only that, he is also very smart. As an emperor, he certainly would not trust anyone easily. He only believes in balance, which is what he is best at. He cannot let the prince rely solely on Wu Meiniang and Li Shimin's passing on the throne completely delegate power to the Guanlong Group, which led to Changsun Wuji being so powerful, and he could not make such a mistake.

So Li Zhi intentionally increased Wu Meiniang's power, but at the same time he was not willing to make the prince rely too much on Wu Empress.

Today, Li Zhi suddenly summoned three prime ministers, Zhang Wenguan, Hao Chujun and Liu Xiangdao.

"See Your Majesty."

"Please sit down with you all, my dear friends."

After they sat down, Li Zhi sighed and said, "Just two hours ago, after Lu Shi Gua took my pulse for me, he brought up the old things again. I hope I can allow him to retire. For the sake of my and the prince's health, he did not even be a fourth-rank official. I was moved and could do nothing to him."

Zhang Wenguan said: "Your Majesty, if it is something else, I will definitely oppose Mr. Lu's resignation. Mr. Lu's virtues and talents are excellent, and he is a rare wise man. But if he can cure Your Majesty's illness, it is of course more important than anything else."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "I really can't bear to leave him, but he has made up his mind and I can only agree to him. But I wonder who can take over his position in the court?"

Zhang Wenguan and the other two looked at each other.

Li Zhi asked again: "Does there not even a talent in the court to replace Lu Shi Gua?"

Zhang Wenguan lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, I think Shangguan Yi can take over the position of Lu Shi Gua."

Li Zhi nodded immediately and said, "Shangguan Yi is indeed a good candidate! What do Hao Aiqing and Liu Aiqing think?"

Liu Xiang said, Hao Chujun immediately woke up and nodded immediately, expressing his approval.

Hao Chujun said again: "Your Majesty, the position of Censor is always vacant. Although Cui Zhongcheng has outstanding abilities, his qualifications and seniority are still very small, and it is difficult to intimidate all officials. The Sun Chuyi, the son of the Secretariat, is upright, diligent and selfless, capable, and has a very old experience. I recommend him as Censor."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "I know very well the talent and character of this man. I have treated him badly this year. Let's do this, come on the memorial."

"I obey the order."

A censor and a subordinate minister, Li Zhi agreed so easily, which shows that Zhang Wenguan and the others guessed Li Zhi's thoughts.

Shangguan Yi was born as a prince's servant and had a very good relationship with the prince.

Sun Chuyou was recommended by Lai Ji. He was a classmate with Lai Ji and Hao Chujun. He should have been promoted long ago. At that time, Lai Ji valued Sun Chuyou very much, but because of Changsun Wuji's affairs, he was not promoted, but was rejected. He was demoted to Dali Temple by Li Yifu to manage the archives. He was promoted again after the crisis.

Both of these people have a very close relationship with the Prince and the Guanlong Group, and are the fish that escaped the net in the Great Purge.

Then he naturally had a bad relationship with Wu Meiniang. It can be seen that Li Zhi was not ill and confused. He calculated the account very clearly. He gave Wu Meiniang a lot of power, and at the same time he would balance the power in the court, thereby increasing the position of the prince. If one faction is dominant, the prince may not be able to suppress it. If the two factions, the prince can balance it.

All of this is paving the way for the prince.

As for Han Yi, Wu Meiniang's attention is on Han Yi. Wu Meiniang believes that the court is now in a triangle relationship, that is, she, Han Yi and Li Zhi, but Li Zhi does not know the internal reason. He thinks that he is the only center and no one can threaten him. He is not too worried about Han Yi because Han Yi is indeed a little chic. Although he is the Shangshu Ling, he never covets power, does not form cliques, forms cliques and private affairs, and takes everything to the Zhengshi Hall for discussion. He never says he is the one who makes decisions. He doesn't care about how many third-rank subordinates of the Zhengshi Hall are in charge of the Central Secretariat. He doesn't care about it. He asks for leave when he is fine. He doesn't need to balance Han Yi at all. He is a commander-in-law.

Li Zhi originally did not intend to let Han Yi continue to be the Shangshu Ling. It was just a temporary solution at that time, but judging from his virtue, Li Zhi was too lazy to even take back the Shangshu Ling, so you can continue to do so.

After all, Lee Ji still relies very much on Han Yi's opinions on important resolutions, because Han Yi can always make suggestions that are easy to accept, which is to consider his feelings very much. Whether it is foreign affairs or internal affairs, he has the title of Shangshu Ling, so he is more likely to accept Han Yi's suggestions.

"Hey hey! I asked if you can wait and see, your boss is still sitting here."

Han Yi looked at Xu Changming, holding the medicine test record with a depressed look on his face, as if he had found a treasure.

Xu Changming looked stunned and said, "I'm ready for the medicine!"

This drug test record is really too important to him, and he has no intention of chatting with Han Yi now.

Han Yi said seriously: "Put down the record first, I have something to tell you."

Xu Changming immediately put down the record, and he still had fear of Han Yi.

Han Yi said: "I hope you can cooperate with Lu Shi Gua in the future."

Xu Changming said in surprise: "Why?"

Han Yi said: "You should know his medical skills. Your cooperation is a strong alliance. It is beneficial to the development of drugs."

Xu Changming said: "But I will definitely not be able to cooperate with him."

Of course, he knew that Lu Shi Gua is so famous. It was because he knew that he felt scared. The two were not the same person at all. One was to save lives and the other was to harm people for a living.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not letting you live together, I'm just letting you cooperate, no one is higher or lower, you just need to remember that you are just developing medicines, nothing to do with anything else."

Xu Changming hesitated for a while and said, "Can I not agree?"

Han Yi said: "Of course not."

Xu Changming nodded reluctantly.

Han Yi smiled, sat next to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Actually, don't worry too much. Lu Shigua is not that bad to get along with. With your current medical skills, it is enough to make him treat you with courtesy. You try to cooperate first. If you really can't work together, then tell me that I won't be able to force others."

Xu Changming nodded and said, "I understand!"

The beauty of freedom.

"well."

Xu Jiu looked at the contract in front of him and sighed a long time, looking very frustrated. After a while, he took the pen, signed his name on the contract, stamped it with a seal, and handed it to Sang Mu opposite him. He said again: "I don't understand why we worked so hard to study, but in the end, you Feng Feilou first developed this new dye."

Sang Mu smiled and said, "Because our boss is Brother Han."

This reason really makes Xu Jiu unable to refute.

This contract is actually an order for dyes, with a total value of 50,000 jin, all of which are the same as Li Jinzhong's head.

In fact, Freedom Beauty has been developing new dyes, especially those used for leather. However, I didn’t expect that Feng Feilou suddenly came to the door with the dye, but it was still so good. It was simply the dye that Freedom Beauty dreamed of. This made Freedom Beauty very depressed, and Feng Feilou still snatched the first.

Although this was just an accident, and it was accidentally produced when Xu Changming developed the medicine, it was not very difficult to understand in the eyes of the people. After all, Feng Feilou has always been ahead of the dyes, but Feng Feilou's dyes are all used on paper.

But no matter what, the beauty of freedom will make more money because the emergence of new dyes can make the service of the beauty of freedom more diversified, and the profits are very considerable. Otherwise, Xu Jiu would not have placed an order of 50,000 yuan at a time.

Unfortunately, Zheng Shanxing was not there, and he had already set out for the Khitan area.

His trip basically means that Chen Shuozhen's mission has been completed, and Chen Shuozhen has quietly returned to Chang'an.

In Taoist temple.

"Don't do it nonsense!"

Chen Shuozhen pressed Han Yi's chest with one hand and leaned back slightly, as if she was facing a great enemy.

Han Yi said laughing and crying: "Madam, I have never seen anyone guarding against husbands and wolves."

Chen Shuozhen said: "That's up to you."

Thinking of the last time, Han Yi came up and carried her away from the bed sheets, and a layer of blush appeared on her face.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Okay, okay! I will never do anything. Let's sit on the collapse. This is OK!"

Chen Shuozhen still looked at him cautiously.

Han Yi said: "Madam, your eyes have deeply hurt my self-esteem."

Chen Shuozhen then put down his hand and sat down with Han Yi. Han Yi didn't like to sit properly. He lay directly on the collapse and just gently held Chen's simple hand with his hand.

Seeing that he was honest, Chen Shuozhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When you talked to me about the plan of restraint, it was a lot of talk, but now it seems that it is not the same as you. This ends too quickly."

Han Yi sighed: "You can't say that, things are the same thing. The process is exactly the same as what I said, but it's just a little faster. I didn't expect the Khitans to be so unbeatable and they were too unscrupulous to surrender. But when I was preparing, I couldn't say that this battle would be solved in two or three months. In that case, it might fail. I had to think very carefully and prepare with the worst plan."

Chen Shuozhen heard what he said make sense. The process was as Han Yi said, and it was not bad at all. It was just a little too fast, and asked again: "So who is the next target? Jingle? Or Tiele?"

Han Yi said: "Don't be anxious first, take a good rest for a year or two."

Chen Shuozhen said: "I don't need a rest. The Khitan incident did not consume much energy."

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "At that time, we will face a huge difficulty, which requires us to do our best, so we must accumulate energy at this time to deal with the next difficulties."

Chen Shuozhen said in surprise: "What's the difficulty?"

Han Yi gently kneaded her hand and said, "It's not clear yet. When the time is right, I will tell you that you don't think about anything now, just take good care of your body. If you don't have your help, I may be very difficult."

Chen Shuozhen nodded slightly. Han Yi didn't want to say it, and she wouldn't ask too much.

Han Yi said again: "I know that I feel sorry for you to stay here, but don't worry, I will definitely let you see the light of day again."

A hint of horror flashed in Chen Shuozhen's eyes and said, "How is this possible?"

Han Yi raised a smile on his lips and said, "I can even become prime minister, what else is impossible."

Chen Shuozhen couldn't help but frown. They had talked about this before, but Han Yi still showed a helpless feeling for her. She also knew that she could not see the light of day again. She was guilty of an extraordinary sin. However, this time Han Yi was so confident that she couldn't help but feel deeply worried and said, "But it's not necessary just for me. I don't like walking in the downtown area. Compared to this, I would rather stay here."

Han Yi said: "This is not entirely for you, but your business is also one of my purposes. I remember that I said that I will never let the second Chen Shuozhen appear, but if I can't save this Chen Shuozhen, how can I talk about the second one?"

Chen Shuo is not a timid person. She just thinks that if it is just for her, she feels that there is no need for this. She has become accustomed to her current life. But if Han Yi’s plan was like this, she would definitely support her. She couldn’t help but smile and said, “You still remember this promise!”

Han Yi rolled his eyes and said, "What a joke, I remember every promise you have."

For Chen Shuozhen, this sentence was really better than tens of millions of sweet words. She couldn't help but smile and held the hand held by Han Yi slightly.

Han Yi said, "So you like such a subtle way!"

Chen Shuozhen gave him a blank look and said, "If you do something random, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"I just thought you would do anything to me."

"Pooh!"

Han Yi laughed and said, "Then how do you plan to arrange this holiday? Should you stay in Chang'an and let me accompany you?"

Chen Shuozhen's face turned red, she gave him a charming look, then thought for a moment, and said, "I plan to go to Luoyang to rest."

Han Yi said in surprise: "It's Mao?"

Chen Shuozhen said: "I always feel more free when I stay in Luoyang here."

Speaking of freedom, Han Yi was indeed a little unopposed, saying, "Then you have to stay here for some time."
