Chapter 296 Returning the favor

"Mei Niang! What do you think?"

Li Zhi stood in the pavilion, watched Han Yi and Meng'er leave the garden, and asked slowly

Wu Meiniang played with the poker in her hand, her eyes flashed with strange light, and she smiled and said, "I think this poker is quite fun!"

Li Zhi turned around, looked at Wu Meiniang with a smile, and said, "You know, I'm not asking this."

Wu Meiniang said, "I wonder what Your Majesty is asking?"

"Han Yi."

Li Zhi said directly.

Wu Meiniang pondered slightly and said, "It's a craftable material."

Li Zhi smiled and sat back, saying, "I heard that he compared himself to Han Xin, thinking that this person was just a boastful person, but when I saw him today, I looked at him with admiration, although it could not be compared with Han Xin."

Wu Meiniang suddenly interrupted Li Zhi, "Your Majesty is such a bad word."

Li Zhi looked at her in confusion.

Wu Meiniang said: "Han Yi compares himself to Han Xin, and I have heard from His Majesty that Han Yi has said, but Han Yi is not as wrong. Han Xin is not as good as him at his age. If Han Yi is given a chance, whether he can compare with Han Xin has not happened. Therefore, let's say that Han Yi is boasting about it now and is unfair to him!"

Li Zhi was stunned and nodded, "You said the same." At this point, he sighed slightly, saying, "It's a pity that Han Yi is from a humble background and is another brothel."

Wu Meiniang felt a little unhappy when she heard this, because his father was like Han Yi, and blurted out: "Don't Ma Zhou do that too?"

The tone was a little aggrieved. Ma Zhou and Wu Shitao were of similar origins, and both died of overwork for the country, but the treatment after becoming an official was much worse. Ma Zhou was respected by many people and was also the highest-scale state funeral after his death. His body was buried in Li Shimin's tomb. Although the warrior was not small, he was despised because he was a businessman. Even if he was famous, the two were not of the same level. Wu Meiniang admired his father very much and always complained about it.

She was not jealous of Ma Zhou, he just felt injustice for his father.

Li Zhi didn't understand, or pretended not to understand, and waved his hand and said, "Ma Zhou is different. Before Ma Zhou was valued by his father, he had already entered the officialdom with his own knowledge, but he did not receive attention at the beginning."

Wu Meiniang said, "I think that even when I first entered the officialdom, Han Yi was far better than Ma Zhou."

Li Zhi was surprised and said, "How do you say this?"

Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty has forgotten that Han Yi has made great achievements."

Li Zhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Are you talking about Yangzhou's suppression of rebellion?"

Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "At that time, the rebels were in a state of great momentum, and Yangzhou was in danger. Han Yi saved Yangzhou with his own strength. This time he made great contributions, but only because he was humble. Therefore, this contribution was recorded on the Yang family. However, His Majesty still rewarded him as a team leader, but he didn't know what happened. Han Yi came to Chang'an and was not rewarded."

Li Zhi suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I remember. I remember that at that time, I felt that the battle in Yangzhou was very strange. It seemed that this was the first time since ancient times. I told you about this. Yes, why did Han Yi not receive a reward, but instead ran to Chang'an to open a brothel?" He paused. He said, "But this alone cannot show that Han Yi is far better than Ma Zhou."

Wu Meiniang said again: "The key to Ma Zhou's appreciation from Emperor Taizong was that article. I have read that article. Although it is extraordinary and reveals many of the pros and cons at that time, most of them are truthful. Previous people have mentioned it. However, Han Yi's patented method has never seemed to have ever been there. Its idea is bold, but it is also very referenced and very practical, and it is definitely not a boast. If it can be used well, maybe as he said, my Tang Dynasty will go further and its foresight will be better."

Although she didn't say it clearly, her meaning was very obvious.

Ma Zhou and Han Yi were both humble. Ma Zhou entered the officialdom with literature and gained the appreciation of Taizong with an article. Han Yi entered the officialdom with martial arts. His patent law was also very exciting. Since Emperor Taizong could promote Ma Zhou with an article, why can't you promote Han Yi with an exception because of a patent law? Should you also have your own "Ma Zhou"?

Li Zhi was speechless. Although he did not speak, Wu Meiniang's words had already touched him.

One day the emperor, another day the minister.

Now in the court, the ministers left by the Zhenguan period were still there, and there were no large-scale replacements. Most of the replacements were because Changsun Wuji wanted to eliminate dissidents. Li Zhi was not even a close confidant in the court. However, the court was controlled by the Guanlong Group. Although there were Shandong gentry there, these gentry had always been separated from the royal family and were unhappy with each other.

Therefore, the relationship here is very complicated, and the family's interests are directly involved. Han Yi is a commander with a humble background, has no relationship with the court, nor does he belong to any faction. If Han Yi is promoted, it will definitely belong to the emperor. This is even more the same as Ma Zhou at that time. Li Shimin promoted the poor family to weaken the power of the gentry in the court.

If you have a bad background, at some point, it is exactly the best.

For Li Zhi now, he needs such a person.

Of course, if Han Yi is just a mediocre talent, it would be useless to promote it, but Han Yi's display of talent made Li Zhi feel that he is a talent that can be made.

This is enough.

Before, Han Yi's sentence "Behind a successful man, there is a great woman." This sentence greatly improved Wu Meiniang's position in Li Zhi's heart. This sentence made Li Zhi feel that he had to have such a woman behind him so that he could feel at ease.

Although Wu Meiniang met Han Yi for the first time, when Han Yi's words meant very much to her, she certainly knew that this was helping her, so she quickly reciprocate and asked Li Zhi to promote Han Yi.

But heartbeat does not mean action. Li Zhi did not make the decision immediately, which disappointed Wu Meiniang. He knew that Li Zhi was still afraid of it.

.

"Brother Xiaoyi, you have lost 110 looms, why are you so happy?"

After leaving the garden, Meng'er saw Han Yi as if she had encountered the spring breeze and didn't speak. She smiled and looked extremely happy. She couldn't help but feel curious, so she asked.

Han Yi was stunned and said, "Do I look very happy?"

Meng'er nodded.

Sweat! It seems that he is too happy. Of course, Han Yi would not say that he is unhappy. He smiled and said, "What an honor is it to be able to play poker by the emperor, why am I not happy? As for what is that one hundred and ten loom machines? I say, Meng'er, you are too. Now you are worth 100 yuan now, don't be petty." He thought to himself that in the future, he had a meal with Buffett for several million US dollars. More than ten yuan of money were worth playing poker with the emperor, md. Our Chinese emperor is too cheap.

Meng'er spat and said, "Why are you worth 100 cents? Didn't you give me so much money?"

Han Yi was stunned. Indeed, Meng'er and the others had never received a penny from the beginning to now. They felt a little guilty: "There is no way, I haven't made money now. If I make money, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Meng'er chuckled and said, "I'll just say it casually. You don't take it seriously. Actually, I don't value this money very much. Today's Fengfei Tower is much better than the previous Fengfei Tower. As long as you can let me stay in Fengfei Tower, it's enough."

Han Yi was stunned and stared at Meng'er blankly, with tears flashing in her eyes.

Meng'er was so shy of being seen by him. She said, "Brother Xiaoyi, why are you looking at me like this?"

Han Yi sighed: "How great it would be if everyone thought like you!"

"Brother Xiaoyi, you - you are such a profiteer." Meng'er turned her head and walked forward quickly.

No! It was revealed. Han Yi quickly chased after him and tried to persuade him. Then Meng'er laughed again.

Back at the tent area outside the city, Xiong Di and the others were surprisingly not playing cards, but playing fighting outside the tent. Xiaopang's clumsy jumping and powerful roar made the onlookers laugh and lean back.

Han Yi stood aside and smiled for a while before returning to the tent.

"call--!"

Han Yi lay on the straw mat and breathed a sigh of relief. His face gradually became solemn. Although he lost 110 looms, this trip really meant too much for him.

Value! Absolutely!

The next day, the team set out again and headed towards the Wannian Palace.

Although poker is very fun, poker can be played at any time. Li Zhi still cherishes the scenery along the way very much. When he encounters beautiful scenery, he has to stop and enjoy it. He did not ask Han Yi to play poker anymore.

Han Yi was not in a hurry, and often found various reasons, taking Xiaopang, Ono and the others to the foot of the mountain and go to the river to see it. Of course, the theme was still half an hour.

After ten days of travel, I finally arrived at my destination.

But in the distance was a towering mountain, with the main peak soaring into the sky, like a platform to climb to the sky. It was visually estimated that it was at least a thousand meters, surrounded by green water, and the waterfall was flowing down.

That's right, looking at the thousands of rocks, the green waves are bound to the sky; looking at the jade peaks on the side, it's like a sharp edge, majestic into the clouds.

Looking up, there are many temples and Taoist temples in an orderly manner.

And in the lush and lush, there is a majestic palace, which is huge in scale and suddenly appears in the jungle. This is the Wannian Palace.

This Wannian Palace was built in the Sui Dynasty and was called Renshou Palace. It has no other meaning to build a palace here. It is just for the emperor to escape the summer heat. It is the first time since Li Zhi ascended the throne.

I saw high pavilions, surrounded by long corridors, mixed houses, and chaotic terraces and pavilions.

From a distance, it's very spectacular!

Chinese architectural art is suitable for landscapes and looks like a fairyland on earth. It is very beautiful. If it is on a plain, it may be slightly inferior to the majestic buildings in Europe.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

Brother Xiong, Ono, Meng'er and others stood in front of the mountain, looking up at the palace, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Donghao, a Fusang native, had never seen a palace of this size. He was so stupid that he must have thought in his heart that the palace could be built like this.

"Brother Han, are we going to live there later?"

Brother Xiong pulled Han Yi's sleeve and asked excitedly.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course, we still have to perform dramas, so we naturally cannot live too far from the emperor."

Having said that, he was also worried that if he asked them to live in a tent again, then this drama would be impossible to act, and at least he would be allowed to live in a house.

The first one to enter the palace was naturally the emperor, minister, and palace maid. Anyway, it was Han Yi and other men's turn to do errands, because errands had to do hard work, and they had to move and pick.

Han Yi and the others were not much better, because there were some props, but he didn't bring many people, so he could only help Dong Hao and the others move together.

"Ono, I'll change one with you, I'll get this heavy one."

Brother Bear was holding a small wooden box, and it was seen that Ono was carrying a heavy box, so he hurried over and wanted to change it with Ono.

Ono shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can handle this."

Brother Xiong narrowed his eyes and squinted his fat lips and said, "You always help me. Although I am not good at it, I still have some strength. You can ask me to help you."

Ono was stunned for a moment and smiled foolishly.

The two immediately exchanged props in their hands.

Brother Xiong really has the strength to carry a heavy box and walk into the palace like a flat ground. He laughed and laughed at Ono, and he didn't feel tired at all.

"Han Yi, Feng Feilou, is here."

A sharp voice sounded.

When Han Yi saw that it was the short eunuch, he hurriedly said, "I'm here."

When the short eunuch saw Han Yi carrying props, he hurriedly called a few people to come and help Han Yi and the others carry things.

This made Han Yi feel a little less stressful, but Xiong Di and the others are used to suffering and do not think that these labors are inferior to themselves. They did not ask for their help, so they carried them forward.

The eunuch said, "Han Yi, Your Majesty has specially ordered that you Fengfei Tower people live in Lubo Pavilion."

Green Bo Pavilion? Oh my god, it sounds like high-end, generous, and high-end! The card finally had a little effect. Han Yi was so moved that he was afraid of staying in a tent and had to worry about the raid of wild beasts at night.
