North Lane.

"Alas, this is really a plan that can't keep up with the change!"

Han Yi stood in front of his plan tree, sighing as he added branches and leaves to the plan tree in English.

He really doesn't like this sudden arrangement, whether it's a surprise or a fright, because what Lao Qian wants is stability, even if it's a temporary surprise, it is very likely to have a linkage effect.

"Will Wu Meiniang use my departure to deal with me?"

Han Yi's brows were tightly locked, he was thinking more about his entire plan, he knew that Wu Meiniang was definitely trying to deal with him now, he left Chang'an, this was not in his plan, so this made him a little worried, and he said to himself: "Send troops to Goguryeo, this matter is very important, she shouldn't dare to interfere with it, right?" However---- she is Wu Meiniang, I still have to guard against her, and as long as I can capture her intentions in advance, this is enough. ”

After staying in the house for a while, Han Yi came out of the house, but when he went out, he happened to meet Sangmu who had just come in.

"Engong, when did you come?"

"Just here."

The two said hello and went to the living room together.

Han Yi took a sip of hot tea and asked casually, "How is the recent transaction?" ”

Sang Mu said: "Our business has always been very stable, but now everyone has no intention of paying attention to the business, after all, the slave and maid are in a uproar." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Is the merchant still complaining?" ”

Sang Mu said: "At the beginning, there were many businessmen who complained about this, but Engong, you also know, the status of our businessmen is humble, and we have not been bullied less throughout the ages, so this is not a grievance for businessmen, after all, the court is not just for businessmen." Nowadays, there is only a lot of talk, a lot less complaints, and in addition, there are some businessmen who have benefited a lot from it. For example, the Zhang family is very happy. ”

Han Yi sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Sang Mu said: "The Zhang family has always lacked manpower, this time the restructuring, whether it is the imperial court, or officials, or the civil landlords, will be some slaves and maids in their own families to be good, and these slaves and maids used to survive, have learned some crafts, many of them have a good hand, have been recruited by the Zhang family, and now the scale of the Zhang family has expanded a lot." The Yuwen family, the Yuan family, and the beauty of freedom also benefited from this. Nowadays, the most complained are still those landlords and squires. ”

Han Yi smiled: "As long as the businessman doesn't complain anymore, that's fine." ”

Sang Mu looked at Han Yi in surprise.

Han Yi smiled: "I'll tell you about this later." Oh, you go and arrange it, and in some time, I'm going to create a wave of public opinion. ”

Sang Mu was stunned and said, "What is it about?" ”

Han Yi said: "Let's talk about this then, you can prepare a little." ”

Mulberry nodded and said, "I see." ”

This public opinion propaganda is the foundation of North Lane, and it was originally relied on to influence public opinion, so as to make North Lane invincible, which is not a difficult thing.

And what Han Yi wants to promote is, of course, the blood feud with Goguryeo.

However, just as Han Yi was brewing this wave of publicity, a big piece of good news came to Chang'an.

Inside the Liangyi Palace.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! ”

Li Zhi slapped the table heavily and said: "That Wa Kingdom is really too unpopular, I can't swallow this breath, I must let their wild monkeys come and go." ”

Xu Jingzong saw that Li Zhi was furious, and he was also a little vain, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what has this Japanese country done?" ”

"See for yourselves."

Li Zhi angrily threw a letter in front of Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong didn't know what was going on, and he didn't care much about Li Zhi's rude action, so he hurriedly picked up the letter, opened it, and immediately looked angry.

Master Xu Yu on the side said: "Xu Shizhong, what does this letter say?" ”

Xu Jingzong handed the letter directly to Xu Yushi.

Xu Yushi looked extremely shocked when he saw it, and after a while, he handed the letter to Lu Chengqing and the others.

It turned out that this letter was sent by the Wa State, of course, the Wa State did not send an envoy, but only sent it to the hands of Dugu Wuyue in Laizhou, Dugu Wuyue immediately asked someone to send it to Li Zhi, in the letter, the Wa State threatened that Baekje was already a subject state of their Wa State, and warned the Tang Dynasty not to use troops against Baekje again, otherwise, the Wa State would send troops to the Tang Dynasty.

Han Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, this is really a god assist!

Here Li Zhi was worried about how to persuade the minister to agree to him to send troops, and the Japanese state over there provided Li Zhi with such a good excuse, which was simply a perfect match between the inside and the outside.

After Li Zhi waited for them to finish reading, he asked, "What do you Aiqing think about this?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. It was you who opposed my sending troops in the first place, which led to the Japanese country taking the opportunity to humiliate us, if we had decided to send troops at that time and announce it to the world, this letter would not exist.

Lu Chengqing, Xu Yushi and others glanced at each other, and did not seem to hesitate much, so they immediately stood up and asked Li Zhi to send troops to the peninsula in unison.

Xu Jingzong was even more furious, scolding, and threatening to pacify the country. He has a good face, and now he is a righteous prime minister in the court, and the rest are all three grades under the same book, and he is indeed the head of the civil officials. When the eldest grandson Wuji was the prime minister, the envoys of the surrounding feudal states were all vying to curry favor with the eldest grandson Wuji, and he defeated the eldest grandson Wuji and became the head of the civil officials, so he received such a letter, which is resolutely unbearable!

This letter directly made the whole thing have nothing to talk about, because judging from the content of the whole letter, that Baekje is just an excuse, and what the Wa State really wants to express is to be on an equal footing with the Tang Dynasty, and if the Tang Dynasty recognizes this, then Silla will also become a subject state of the Wa State, because Silla is the closest to the Wa State and closer than Baekje.

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid the weak Song Dynasty can't bear it, not to mention that this is the most powerful time for the Tang Dynasty, even Tubo on the surface, it is from the Tang Dynasty vassal state, dare to call the Tang Dynasty like this, almost all have been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and there is only one Goguryeo left, and now just an island country, all have to be so arrogant to call the Tang Dynasty, this is really an insult, if you don't give a response, then why did the Tang Dynasty let the surrounding countries bow down.

Li Ji and Han Yi secretly made eye contact, both of them were full of joy, this teammate is really amazing.

With the support of the cardinal ministers, things became simpler.

After obtaining Li Zhi's consent, Han Yi immediately published the letter in Datang Daily, with the headline ---- "Is it tolerable or unbearable!" ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty were shocked, they really couldn't understand what kind of heart the Wa Kingdom wrote this letter, many people didn't even know what the Wa Kingdom was, including Sang Mu, ran to ask Han Yi if this letter was written by the Wa Kingdom, how could this be possible, because he was born in the Wa Kingdom, he knew what the situation of the Wa Kingdom was, and he had been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he knew too much about the reality of the Tang Dynasty, which was not an equivalent order at all.

This island is too small, I don't know how big the world is, because the Wa Kingdom is currently the closest to the peninsula, and there are relatively few exchanges with the Central Plains, because the Wa Kingdom is the closest to the peninsula, especially Baekje and Silla, as far as the matter is concerned, the Wa lord is also a frog at the bottom of the well, and today's transportation, not to mention going abroad, it is very difficult to go out of the province, not to mention crossing the ocean, especially those rulers, they will not go out, what to do if they die, they don't know very well what the situation of the Tang Dynasty is, anyway, they know that the Tang Dynasty will always be unable to fight Goguryeo and Baekje, but they easily controlled Baekje, which made the Japanese feel that the Tang Dynasty was nothing more than that, and saying that they were on an equal footing was giving you face.

In fact, this happened quite often in ancient times, because the traffic was too inconvenient, the information exchange was relatively slow, everyone thought they were the most dick, the Qing Dynasty was not like this, in comparison, in fact, the Tang Dynasty did not understand the Wa State, but the Tang Dynasty itself is strong, and it is the overlord of this region, so the Datang Dynasty looks at any country as scum, and the Wa State is the scum of the scum.

And then Han Yi moved out of the blood feud with Goguryeo, telling how the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were abused after being captured by Goguryeo, when they were alive, they were not as good as dogs, and after they died, even the bones were used as fertilizer.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was the army of Guanzhong to attack Goguryeo, and most of the deaths were also the children of Guanzhong, this Chang'an is Guanzhong, and now many people's grandfathers and great-ancestors are dead in Goguryeo, and now they are blown by this wind, what hatred, what hatred is remembered, the people of the Tang Dynasty are very tough, and even some people accuse Li Zhi, thinking that when the first emperor was in power, he always remembered this blood feud, and after you ascended the throne, the battle of Liaodong was an occasional small fight, so sorry for us.

But they don't want to think about it, when the battle of Liaodong was dismissed, it was also in line with the people's will, because Li Shimin did a lot of bastard things in his later years, which led to a great loss of national strength, but fortunately he died early, otherwise, it is estimated that the Tang Dynasty is the second Sui Dynasty, and it was under the governance of Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji that they got through this difficulty, coupled with the promotion of Han Yi, the national strength was completely recovered, and it went to the next level.

This monarch still has to put the people first, and the country has been defeated by war, and the people have nothing to eat, even if you have a reason, it is not right for you to send troops. Thinking that the Song Dynasty signed the Tanyuan Alliance with the Liao State, many people said that the Song Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country, but the Liao State finally died on the Tanyuan Alliance, and the Song Dynasty benefited from the Tanyuan Alliance, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, very rich, and the annual tribute to the Liao State every year could be earned back in less than half a year, which is called the army of surrender without a fight.

But now Li Zhi wants them to blame themselves, because the war is for the people to fight, so this needs the basis of public opinion, don't think that the feudal society does not look at the public opinion, without the support of the public opinion, you will insist on going your own way, if you send troops, then you are a tyrant.

Now this basis of public opinion is already in place.

Li Zhi saw that the propaganda was almost done, so he convened a court meeting to discuss the matter of sending troops.

The funny thing is that before Li Zhi could speak, the ministers went to the table one after another, suggesting that Li Zhi send troops to pacify Liaodong.

At this time, who dares to persuade Li Zhi, it is really stupid, not only will the emperor be unhappy, but the people will also look down on you, this official may not be able to go now, so all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suggested that Li Zhi send troops, and no one raised any objections.

Li Zhi was very happy, slapped the table, stood up, and said ambitiously: "This time, I want to drive the imperial expedition in person, injustice Liaodong, and vow not to return to the dynasty." ”

The Taiji Hall was immediately silent, and the ministers all looked at Li Zhi with a confused expression, as if asking, can I take back what I just said?

Embarrassed!

Tee is embarrassed too!

Li Zhi only felt extremely embarrassed, why didn't he respond, his face was red, you guys were too faceless, and he blushed again, looked at them, and gave you another chance, come out and shout "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

That Xu Jingzong almost rolled out, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this move must not be!" ”

It's you old man again! Li Zhi glared at Xu Jingzong and said, "Why not?" "That look seems to say, you go back for me, otherwise, don't blame me for not being merciful.

But you don't have to be merciful about this matter, Xu Jingzong also has to put on his head, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, and it is related to the society of the country, how can you take risks easily, and the minister begs Your Majesty to take back his life." ”

"I beg your majesty to take back your order."

Quite a few ministers have stepped forward.

Li Zhidao: "It is the will of the first emperor to pacify Liaodong, and as a son of man, I should fulfill my father's last wish. ”

Liu Xiangdao immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, when the first emperor was located in Your Majesty, I not only hoped that Your Majesty could pacify Liaodong, but more importantly, I hoped that Your Majesty could govern the country well, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, so that my Tang Dynasty could live and work forever. ”

"You ---!"

Li Zhi's eyes widened.

Lu Chengqing also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo are just the country of projectiles, and to oppose my Tang Dynasty is not to measure their own strength, and to hit the stone with an egg, if Your Majesty personally recruits, it will boost their arrogance." And the lord will definitely laugh at me, there is no one in the Tang Dynasty, he didn't come, but my Majesty the Tang Dynasty drove the expedition in person. ”

After that, many ministers came forward and firmly opposed this.

Li Zhi couldn't help but feel some pressure in the face of the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and made eye eyes with Han Yi and Li Ji, you two are not coming out to support me soon, we said it was okay at the beginning.

Who told you that we only said that we would send troops to Goguryeo, but we didn't promise you to support your personal expedition.

Li Ji and Han Yi are both masters of pretending to be asleep, bowing their heads silently, neither supporting nor opposing, and Quan Dang did not hear it.

This can make Li Zhi angry enough, I only feel that I am a dignified emperor, and no one supports him, so he angrily flicked his robe sleeves and left directly, Lao Tzu didn't tell you uninformed rebels.
