Chapter 352: Ginger is still old and spicy
As a master of thousands of schools, Han Yi is very knowledgeable about politics. At least it is no problem to fool people. However, he does not understand the current affairs of the present. It is impossible for him to give a specific analysis. Therefore, he avoids the important and talks about a general aspect.
Keep pace with the times.
These four words will not be wrong at any time.
"Okay! Well said!"
Li Zhi was extremely happy to hear it and slapped the desk and said, "What a good person who keeps pace with the times and what I think is true!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
From the beginning of silence to now Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up and laughed: "The words of Censor Han are so wonderful, they can be said to be a warning word."
What does this old fox want to do?
Han Yi couldn't help but look at Changsun Wuji in surprise.
Li Zhi was also stunned and then said happily: "Did the Taiwei agree with Han Yi's words?"
"The old minister agrees very much."
Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "I will not hide it from Your Majesty. Since the late Zhenguan period, the old minister has been thinking about how to make our Tang Dynasty stronger. However, the old minister was incompetent and failed to come up with a suitable method. He was afraid of letting down the entrusted emperor of the previous emperor, so he could only do everything step by step, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes."
Li Zhi hurriedly said, "The Taiwei is too humble. Since I ascended the throne, I have suffered a lot from the Taiwei who has been assisting the court to stabilize the throne and to provide great governance to the country. Only when our Tang Dynasty has achieved its grand occasion today, the Taiwei has made an indelible contribution."
"The old minister is ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility."
Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "However, now, Han Yi has proposed a strategy of governing the country that keeps pace with the times. The old ministers think it is very feasible and can even position it as a permanent strategy for governing the country in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi was overjoyed and said, "What the Taiwei said is so, and I think so too."
The monarch, minister, uncle and nephew said something, and the ministers on the side were stunned. It was nothing wrong to keep pace with the times, but Han Yi's words also meant that today's policies are outdated. Today's policies are all done by Changsun Wuji, which is clearly accusing Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji not only did not object, but raised his hand to agree. This is really incredible.
Changsun Wuji said again: "But Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say, I hope Your Majesty can accept it."
Li Zhidao: "Prince, please tell me."
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty humbly accepts advice and works hard to govern is actually a blessing for the people and a blessing for the country in the world. But your Majesty, do you still remember Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty?"
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course I remember this, I don't know what the Taiwei meant?"
Changsun Wuji said: "Everyone said it was difficult to fight the country, but I didn't know that it was even more difficult to defend the country. It was really rare for Your Majesty to do this. Think about how powerful it was in the former Sui Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wen. However, during the reign of Emperor Yang, a powerful empire collapsed in an instant. Your Majesty should take it as a warning. In the early days of Emperor Yang's rule, he also hoped to be able to govern the country greatly and proposed many reform measures, including many good strategies for governing the country. However, in the later period, he was dissatisfied with the status quo. He was very happy with achievements and eager for success. So he built a large-scale civil engineering and military force. He personally fought against Tuyuhun and Goguryeo three times, abused the people's strength and reaped the consequences.
Emperor Taizong once said more than once that using the ancient times as a mirror can help you know the rise and fall. Your Majesty works hard to govern the real world is a great thing. But you should not be eager for quick success and instant benefits. As you gradually and steadily seek change, you will be the right way. Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe and the world is peaceful, if the court changes greatly at this time, it may become stronger, but it is also possible to follow the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty. As the minister of the responsible, the old minister must stand up and warn Your Majesty that governing the country will not be a matter of one day, and you must not be eager for quick success and instant benefits."
The old fox is the old fox!
Han Yi secretly praised in his heart. These words seemed to be warning Li Zhi, but in fact they were commending himself. It was difficult to conquer the country, and it was even more difficult to defend the country. Do you think Li Zhi thinks the current situation is easy to do? No, this is much more difficult than when Taizong conquered the country. If it weren't for my Changsun Wuji, who helped you, would you not be satisfied with what you are today?
Chu Suiliang immediately stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I think what the Taiwei said is very true. Now that our Tang Dynasty is bounded thousands of miles, we can move our whole body with one touch. At this time, we should govern the country with caution."
"I'm going to discuss it."
Another group of ministers stood up.
For Li Zhi, this was simply a bucket of ice water, poured from head to toe, but he had no way to refute it. He really wanted to work hard to govern and get rid of the shadow of the legacy of Zhenguan. Therefore, Changsun Wuji was worried properly. As the emperor, if you govern the country with this mentality, you might have a big mess and smiled and said, "The words of the Taiwei are like enlightenment, and I must keep them in mind."
After a pause, he said, "But Han Yi's words are not wrong. The way to govern the country is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I still hope that your dear friends can submit a memorial to discuss the current affairs and discuss the gains and losses of the court like in the Zhenguan period. I have something to say first. The more you criticize me, the happier I am, and I will never blame you for this."
Changsun Wuji immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."
The ministers immediately shouted.
Changsun Wuji said again: "Your Majesty, Han Yi does have the talent to govern the country. He should let him participate in the discussion of the government. Why not promote him to be a member of the Secretariat?"
As soon as this statement came out, the ministers were shocked.
He has just become the Censor of the Supervisor and the appointment letter has not yet been warmed up. He has been promoted to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat again.
Including Chu Suiliang and others, they were all shocked.
Han Yi was also confused. What was the play? He believed that Changsun Wuji was definitely not because he was an undercover agent, so he made a statement to promote him.
Li Zhi was even more stunned.
Cui Yi-jung immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this move is absolutely not allowed. Han Yi has been promoted to the position of the supervisory censor. Now he has not even reported to the government office, so he has been promoted three levels in a row. This move is contrary to the court's rules. What will other officials think at that time? What will those scholars who want to enter the court as officials think?"
Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "Sir Cui's words are inappropriate. Since he is a talent, he should be promoted in an extraordinary way. If he sticks to the rules, how can he do it? I wonder if Ma Zhou is the same."
Cui Yizhong said: "Taiwei, how can Han Yi compare with Ma Zhou? Ma Zhou's original strange article hit the nail on the head and made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty. Han Yi just said that keeping pace with the times, and as a result, he was promoted to three levels. This is like a joke."
The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat? I can't be this, I still like to supervise the censor. Han Yi hurriedly said, "The Taiwei Meng is worthy of it, but Han Yi is still young and lacks experience. Han Yi cannot afford such a heavy responsibility!"
Li Zhi also thought this was too exaggerated and said, "Although Han Yi is talented, he still needs more experience. Don't discuss this matter anymore."
"I will obey the order."
"That's all for today, let's retreat!"
"I respectfully send you to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
After resigning from the court, the ministers also talked a lot!
"What does this Taiwei mean?"
"Yes! Isn't Dai Ji also his person? Han Yi made the Ministry of Revenue lose all his face, but he wanted to promote Han Yi. This is really hard to understand!"
"This matter is not simple. There must be something tricky inside. I will talk about it after I see it clearly, so as not to fall into this muddy water."
"No, not bad, let's wait and see."
Chu Suiliang heard the whispers of his ministers and whispered to Changsun Wuji: "Brother Fu Ji, why did you mention Han Yi just now? He is not a Jinshi, and becoming the Censor of the Supervisory Censor has been promoted in an extraordinary way. If you want to push him into the Secretariat, wouldn't this be a joke?"
Changsun Wuji glanced at them, deliberately slowed down, and after his colleagues walked away, he hummed softly and said, "I'm not asking you to force me."
"When did we force you?"
Chu Suiliang was confused.
Changsun Wuji said resentfully: "Now Your Majesty is eager to show his kindness to the ministers. Can't you see that Han Yi was promoted by His Majesty after finally helping him. In any case, His Majesty will definitely protect Han Yi wholeheartedly and set an example. That would be better. This is just issued by the imperial edict, and Isn't this intention to make His Majesty unhappy? If the ministers target Han Yi like this, Han Yi will definitely be promoted to three levels in a row within a few days, and no one can stop him."
Lai Ji nodded and said, "I understand. The Grand Marshal did this to rush His Majesty to open this mouth before His Majesty, and at the same time, he used this to warn the ministers not to impeach Han Yi again."
Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "I didn't want to say this at first. I really can't help you. Why did Han Yi repeatedly be treated with such kindness? Even an appointment must come to this hall and give it a token. Isn't it just for you to force it? The more you object, the more your Majesty will have to give you a secret. Isn't it just a censor? What's the fear? Han Yi can make a big spoil by himself, just let Your Majesty go."
Lai Ji said: "What the Taiwei said is that this matter cannot be discussed anymore. We are just a group of prime ministers who are just targeting a censor. It is hard not to think that we are pointing at the mulberry and scolding the censor!"
"Lai Ji's words are very reasonable."
Chu Suiliang and others also nodded one after another.
Han Yuan suddenly said, "Uncle, will the words the emperor said at the beginning be directed at us?"
Changsun Wuji said, "I don't know this, but there is always a little bit. The emperor is now full of energy and must also want to do something. Didn't you and I do the same at the beginning? No one wants to make achievements. At his age, the Emperor Taizong has made countless military achievements. This is human nature, so don't make a fuss. But we cannot let Your Majesty do whatever he wants. If Your Majesty misconceives slander and is determined to reform and make achievements, it may lead to chaos."
Han Yi stood in front of the hall door, looked at the group of old men in front, and laughed a few times, "Retreat as you advance, it seems that I still have to learn!"
Just then, Zhang Shaojian suddenly came over and said, "Chief Han, Your Majesty summoned you."
