What does Han Yi mean? He advised Changsun Wuji not to retreat to the second line. Anyway, Li Zhi was planning to make peace, so why should you take a step back?

A hint of surprise flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes. He had never underestimated Han Yi's ambitions. It would be a good thing to have ambitions. If Han Yi had no ambitions, even if he believed Han Yi, Han Yi would not be able to carry the banner of the audience group. Although he did not say it explicitly, he also hinted that he would push Han Yi up. He never expected Han Yi to persuade him to stop this plan at this time.

If he is still there, then Han Yi will definitely have to continue lurking.

This is simply incredible!

Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "Do you really think so?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "I said at first that when I entered the official career, I mainly wanted to do something for the country and the people. Now it is a transitional period. After Your Majesty takes power, he will definitely change some policies of the Zhenguan period and leave a complete set of his own on the merit book of the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Taiwei is the most familiar with the policies of the Zhenguan period. If the Taiwei assists His Majesty through this transitional period, I think it is beneficial to the country and the people."

These words really start from the perspective of the country and the people, and are absolutely nothing.

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Then do you think your Majesty is right or wrong to change the Zhenguan policy?"

He must be a conservative school, and he still has great reservations and even opposes the innovation.

Han Yi said: "Taiwei, first of all, this is necessary. If it were just Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, how could His Majesty show his ambitions? Looking at the great emperors of Qin, Emperor, Han and Wu, all adopted a series of changes after ascending the throne. The Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan period was very different from the Tang Dynasty today. At that time, the country was full of holes, so many policies were formulated based on the Tang Dynasty at that time. Today, the Tang Dynasty has peace and sufficient food and clothing, so some reforms must be carried out to make the country stronger. I also think this is necessary, but some basic policies cannot be changed, such as the idea of ​​law, be cautious in punishment, less punishment, and the hiding wealth of the people proposed by Ma Xianxiang, these cannot be moved. The reform cannot be said to overturn everything before, but on that basis, based on the current situation, slightly change."

Changsun Wuji nodded and couldn't help thinking. If Li Zhi really wanted to make peace, then he would indeed not have to retreat to the second line and continue to be the prime minister. However, he had to consider one thing, that is, Li Zhi no longer trusted him. This is a taboo for his ministers. If he continued to stay above him, Li Zhi would definitely take great care of him. His every move would be under the surveillance of Li Zhi, and his suggestions would definitely encounter great obstacles. Li Zhi would definitely not let him be powerful anymore. In addition, Li Yifu and others were staring at him.

In terms of calculation, it is better to retreat to the second line. If Han Yi helps him speak, his suggestions will be easily accepted by Li Zhi and he will become more free.

Of course, the most important point is that he thinks it is very dangerous to stay there. If he stays in the court, it is a banner. There will still be many ministers who will act according to his expression. Then he may be forced to conflict with Li Zhi because there are many big families under him, and he is also subject to these people. He is the boss and has to speak for those people. This will inevitably lead to a situation of tranquility, such as he cannot attend Wu Meiniang's enthronement ceremony.

Han Yi said this, of course he was sure that Changsun Wuji would not do this, otherwise he would not have worked in vain. It was very simple. This mountain could not accommodate two tigers, and there was Li Ji there. Changsun Wuji was still on it now. Li Zhi would only use Li Ji, and would not use him anymore. He would continue to weaken his power. Li Yifu and others would continue to attack him. How could Changsun Wuji such a proud person with the help of Li Ji? Or he would be hard and stand facing Li Zhi directly. Otherwise, it would be better to retreat to the second line and avoid being humiliated.

The reason why he said this was just to hint to Changsun Wuji that Li Zhi wanted to make peace now, and you should ask for retirement now, and Li Zhi would definitely be extremely grateful.

Changsun Wuji didn't think long, because he had already made up his mind before. He was now very old and would have to leave. When he left, he would not be at ease. He might as well give it to them now and he could still help them with the care of them. So he waved his hand and said, "It's better to spare me. I'm already old, and I'm not willing to do things but not enough. The future of the Tang Dynasty will depend on you juniors!"

Han Yi said: "But the Tang Dynasty still needs the Grand Marshal."

"I can live for one or two years."

Changsun Wuji smiled and was very satisfied. It was good to have ambition, but the ambition should not be too great. Han Yi's several statements were all based on serving the country and the people, which was very principled. This made Changsun Wuji feel more at ease with him and said, "Han Yi, after I step down, I hope you can take over me."

"Taiwei, I——!"

Changsun Wuji waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "I have considered this a lot. After thinking about it, it is the most suitable for you. You don't need to be humble."

As he spoke, he changed his mind and said, "But I can only support you secretly, especially at the beginning, the help you may be very little, which requires your own struggle. And according to my opinion, this is not an easy task!"

Han Yi frowned and said, "How do you say this to Taiwei?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "After this matter, Your Majesty will definitely promote you, there is no doubt that, but have you ever thought about what you can do and what will Your Majesty promote you?"

Han Yi really never thought about this, because this is not something he can control. If he wants to be the prime minister, will Li Zhi let him be the one? He said truthfully: "Taiwei, this is not something I can consider, right?"

Changsun Wuji said: "You must consider this issue. Promotion is not necessarily a good thing. If you are not good at doing things, you will only get worse and worse. In that case, your enemies in the court will definitely impeach you, which will make you lose more and more. Throughout history, many ministers have refused to be promoted. No matter what the reason is, these people are smart people.

For example, Li Ji, His Majesty asked Li Ji to participate in the government affairs many times, but Li Ji refused. Although he has always avoided participating in the government affairs and remained neutral, this is only one reason, and another reason is that he also knows that he is not good at handling the government affairs. He is good at leading troops to fight. Now Li Ji is no longer the same as before, but you see, he still ignores the government affairs because it will cause him trouble, so he will never lead the three provinces.

This is true for you. You have too many weaknesses, so you must be cautious. If Your Majesty lets you enter the Three Provinces, however, the officials of the Three Provinces are all talented, and you will not be humiliating yourself if you go there, and you will not be able to use your talents at all. You will only waste time in the Three Provinces."

Han Yi secretly frowns when he hears, because this is exactly his weakness. He knows everything, but he is not proficient in everything. If you say what he is best at, then what he is best at is lying people.

However, Changsun Wuji's words also made him start to think seriously.

The three provinces of the highest power are definitely not suitable. His writing is like this. Isn’t it a shame to go to the three provinces? Even if he signs, he will feel ashamed of telling him. Leading troops to fight, my god, that is really the profession that liars are most afraid of. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice do not meet his plans. Looking at those criminal cases every day will benefit some people at most. The Censorate was originally suitable, but he was afraid that if he went to the Censorate, he would be threatened by Li Yifu and others to deal with the Guanlong Group, so it would be difficult for him to do it.

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a department and said, "I think the most suitable person for me is probably the Ministry of Revenue."

"It seems that you know yourself better."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "I think so too, either don't get promoted or go to the Ministry of Revenue. Only the Ministry of Revenue is the most suitable for you. Because you have a bad relationship with those ministers in the court. No matter which official office you go to, you will be excluded by the ministers. Only the Ministry of Revenue is different because every official office has to ask for the Ministry of Revenue. If you are the Minister of Revenue, no one dares to be in trouble with you anymore. If someone makes you unhappy, you just need to arrange the funding of the government office where he is located to the end, which is enough for him to drink a pot."

Han Yi is good at layout.

Changsun Wuji is good at playing chess. Although the two are similar, they are still very different. In terms of arranging chess pieces, especially the span that lasts ten or even decades, Han Yi is no match for Changsun Wuji at all.

Many inconspicuous chess pieces in Changsun Wuji's hands actually have a very important role, and some of them will take more than ten years to play their role.

Although the Ministry of Revenue is under the three provinces, the Ministry of Revenue is crucial and cannot be lost. Without money in his hands, it is bullshit to say anything. Therefore, after Changsun Wuji took power, the first department to rectify was the Ministry of Revenue. He did not work hard at all. There were many miscellaneous people in it, but the Ministry of Revenue was all from Guanlong Group, and he was very close to him and no one could get involved.

However, if Changsun Wuji retreated to the second line, then Li Zhi would definitely attack the Ministry of Revenue and arrange his confidant to take over the Ministry of Revenue. Instead of letting Li Yifu and others get involved in the Ministry of Revenue, if Han Yi enters the Ministry of Revenue, Han Yi also has this talent. Only when the Ministry of Revenue is in the hands of the Ministry of Revenue, the power will not fall apart. Moreover, Han Yi will soon be able to obtain the support of Guanlong Group through the Ministry of Revenue and financial resources, and quickly complete the integration.

Therefore, this move is crucial, which directly affects the entire layout behind it, and even concerns that Han Yi can become the new representative of Guanlong Group.

Changsun Wuji was alone in the dynasty. If he wanted to abdicate, he would not be able to retreat just by saying he could retreat. He had to consider a lot of questions: what power can be returned to Li Zhi, what power can not be returned, how to retreat, how to retreat, how to retreat are all very important.

If he could enter the Ministry of Revenue, Han Yi would of course be willing. This is a big fat man. If the household is not in hand, I have it in the world and can cooperate with his plan to advance south. He couldn't help but be moved. But after the move, he said worriedly: "But it's not my final say."

“That’s the problem.”

Changsun Wuji said: "To be honest, the Ministry of Revenue is all my husband, and there are many talents. The Minister of Revenue has always managed the Ministry of Revenue very well. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue controls the world's wealth, which is of great importance. Your Majesty probably wouldn't have thought of letting you go to the Ministry of Revenue, because there is no need for this for the time being. Even if Your Majesty is willing, the ministers will not agree, but I cannot blatantly support you. Therefore, if you want to join the Ministry of Revenue, you must do three things."

Han Yi hurriedly asked, "I'll ask the Grand Marshal for advice."

Changsun Wuji said: "First of all, you must retain this promotion and not let Your Majesty promote your official position easily, because now you are so young, you are already a sixth-rank official. Based on your background, this is unique. This promotion is an abnormal promotion and is very valuable for you. If you waste this opportunity, the next time will be far away because you are too young. Secondly, you must make contributions. This contribution is based on the country and the country, and you can take advantage of it, rather than open and secret struggles in the court. You still lack something in this regard. Only if you make great contributions, Your Majesty arranges you to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue can block the public. Finally, you must create conflicts with Li Yifu and others, so that I have a reason to let the Ministry of Revenue accept you."

Han Yi pondered: "In fact, it is not difficult to refuse this promotion in my opinion."

Changsun Wuji said: "Why?"

Han Yi said: "Because Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu and others will never let me get promoted. They will definitely try their best to stop me, maybe I don't want to speak myself. The question is, where can I find this credit?"

Changsun Wuji pondered and said, "This depends on the opportunity. If you are anxious, you can't come. But as you said, Li Yi Mansion, Xu Jingzong and others have stopped Your Majesty from promoting you, so Your Majesty may feel guilty about you, and will be more determined to promote you. If this is the case, it will not be difficult."

Han Yi frowned and said, "How do you say this to Taiwei?"

Changsun Wuji said: "In fact, there have always been unwritten rules in the court. If the monarch is determined to promote whom, but cannot convince the public, he will usually first hold a nameless position in the army. Once he wins the battle, he can use it to promote it. But it depends on His Majesty's attitude."

Han Yi said with a serious expression: "Go to the army to make contributions?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Now Duke Lu is attacking Ashinahelu. Ashinahelu is definitely not a match for our Tang Dynasty. If as you said, Your Majesty promoted you and was blocked by the ministers, you may be able to follow Duke Lu to make meritorious contributions."
