Chapter 1990: Foreign Affairs and Internal Affairs
Although Li Zhi did not make a clear statement, his attitude was actually very clear, that is to say, if Tubo really came with sincerity and seriously wanted to make peace with the Tang Dynasty, then talk to them seriously, but if it is the same as Lu Dongzan, playing some diplomatic strategies, then there is nothing to talk about.
After all, the rise of national strength, and there is only one main opponent left, Tubo, if it really starts, Li Zhi will not look forward and backward as before.
"What do you think?"
Out of the Liangyi Palace, Li Ji asked Han Yi.
Han Yi sighed and said, "I don't know, if Lu Dongzan comes, then we only need to prepare a rich dinner to entertain him, there is nothing to talk about, after all, everyone knows the roots." But now that Lu Dongzan is dead, I don't dare to completely deny that there will be no change in the policy of Tibet, as His Majesty said, this may be a turning point, but before I talked about it, it is only possible. But if the Tibetans really came with sincerity, do they think we should make peace? ”
Li Ji frowned slightly, and said: "Of course, the old man still tends to do it once and for all, but if the Tibetan side is very sincere, then we have no reason to use troops against Tibet, not only those ministers in the DPRK and China will not agree, but even the people will not agree, now that the country is stable, the four seas are peaceful, and the development is very good, rashly launching a war against Tibet, Your Majesty and we have to take a very big risk." ”
The national strength of Tubo is far better than that of Goguryeo, and the cost of war is low, the key is that it also has a very special geographical advantage, so that Tubo has always occupied the active position, and no commander in the Tang Dynasty dares to say that he will be able to win, if it is so easy to solve the problem, Li Shimin will go directly to the beginning, instead of choosing to be friendly, at that time Tubo was not as strong as Tubo is today, and the Tang Dynasty military was full of talents. Therefore, if it weren't for the active provocation of the Tibetan side, the Tang Dynasty would rashly send troops, whether it was a war of attrition or simply lost, there was really no way to ask the people of the world to explain, and this would be a great political risk.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Sikong, please rest assured, I will treat it with caution and try to find out the intentions of Tubo." ”
Li Ji nodded slightly, with a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
The cunning Lu Dongzan left a not very good impression on Datang.
While chatting, the two walked towards the imperial city, and just came to the imperial city, they happened to meet Yang Sine.
"Xia Guan has seen Sikong." Yang Sine hugged his fist and saluted Li Ji.
Han Yi also hurriedly saluted Yang Sine.
Li Ji nodded with a smile, and said, "The old man still has something to do, so let's go first." ”
"Walk slowly."
After Li Ji left, Yang Sine said to Han Yi again: "It's just right, I have something to talk to you about." ”
Han Yi's heart was like a mirror, but he pretended not to know: "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Sinen sighed and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's about my cousin." ”
Han Yi said: "Your cousin? ”
"Yang Sizhi."
Han Yi said with a concerned face: "Uncle Cousin, what's wrong with him?" ”
Yang Sine listened to his natural call uncle, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong, it's just that he doesn't know much about the position of director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, according to what he said, he has nothing to do all day long, and he doesn't know what to do. ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "At present, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau really has nothing to do. Speaking of this, he changed his words and said: "But the father-in-law, this director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce has great potential, you look at the director of the Civil Security Bureau, a few years ago, the Civil Security Bureau had no power at all, but now, who dares to underestimate the Civil Security Bureau?" Recently, the Civil Security Bureau has strengthened traffic measures again, and everything is related to people's livelihood. ”
Yang Sina nodded, after the crisis, the Civil Security Bureau is indeed different, judging from the number of people who applied for the royal training camp, it can be seen, and asked: "But there is a household department here, and there is a tax bureau, what is the role of the industrial and commercial bureau?" ”
Han Yi said: "That's really countless, because of the construction of Chang'an, the two cities have been opened, then the municipal bureau must be included in the industrial and commercial bureau, and the future trademark registration, store registration, etc., all need the industrial and commercial bureau." ”
Yang Sine said: "But this is just some trivial things! ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "Zhangren, although these are trivial things, but each has a close relationship with the people, now the industrial and commercial class is booming, and there will be many problems, with the emergence of these problems, there will be a new industrial and commercial law, and the role of the industrial and commercial bureau will be more and more great." And now many nobles and ministers have begun to do business, even the Yang family has also done business, as long as they do business, they can't bypass the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the post of director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is a great supplement to the Yang family, and it can consolidate the position of the entire Yang family in the court for a long time. ”
Speaking of this, he said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, if it wasn't for the cousin who nominated the uncle, I wouldn't have agreed." ”
Yang Siner nodded thoughtfully.
Han Yi said: "Now is just a period of excessive power, and after the excess, the role of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will gradually be reflected, therefore, Uncle Tang needs to have enough patience to deal with everything, if it is overdone all of a sudden, he is not idle, but he is not busy at all, and slowly excessive, so as not to make mistakes." ”
Yang Sina smiled and said: "I will tell him then, so that he can be the director of the industrial and commercial bureau with peace of mind." ”
Han Yi smiled and nodded.
Just said goodbye to Yang Sine, someone came to the political hall and invited Han Yi to go to the political hall.
When I came to the political hall, I saw Wu Meiniang sitting alone inside.
"Wechen has seen the queen."
"Sit down."
After Han Yi sat down, Wu Meiniang first looked out of the door, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty summoned you and Sikong because of the envoy from Tubo, right?" ”
Han Yi nodded.
Wu Meiniang asked: "Do you think Tubo really wants to show favor to my Tang Dynasty this time?" ”
Han Yi shook his head and said: "At present, no one can say, after all, Tubo has a new owner, and it is possible to change the previous policy." ”
Wu Meiniang said: "If Tubo really has the heart to reconcile with my Tang Dynasty, won't this affect your plan?" ”
According to Han Yi's plan, a war with Tubo is very crucial, and Wu Meiniang must lead the Tang Dynasty to eliminate Tubo in order to ascend to the throne.
Han Yi said with a smile: "The queen doesn't need to worry, it is far easier to start a war than to stop a war, and now peace talks with Tubo are not necessarily a bad thing, so that we can free up our hands first to deal with the Khitan, the Yan Ya, and Tiele." Moreover, this is a very good opportunity for the Queen. ”
Wu Meiniang said: "What chance?" ”
Han Yi said: "Empress, although you will not directly participate in this negotiation, but you must actively express your attitude towards this matter, not only that, you must show a tough attitude towards Tibet, even if Tubo is sincere to make peace with us, you have to oppose it, you must insist that Tibet is not credible, and demand that Tubo be suppressed to the greatest extent, even at the cost of starting a war." ”
Wu Meiniang looked puzzled when she heard this, and said: "If Tubo really wants to make peace with us, then the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely approve of it." ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to let you say that, because of this, no matter how fierce you shout, no one will listen to you, then it's okay." But if there is a change in Tibet after that, then everyone will remember that you strongly opposed this matter at the beginning, proving that you had the foresight, and if war breaks out again, you can stand up and respond to every call. Don't look at it just a few words, but this has a very high political interest for your future. ”
Wu Meiniang looked stunned, she really hadn't thought about it, in fact, she also had a very obvious shortcoming, that is, she was good at internal affairs, not good at diplomacy, but she was not stupid, as soon as Han Yi said this, she immediately reacted, and asked: "Are you really sure to defeat Tubo then?" ”
Han Yi said: "As long as we don't interrupt the development of the country, it is not difficult to defeat Tubo, what we fight is wealth, when our food is enough to sustain a ten-year war, then Tubo will definitely lose, because they will definitely not be able to support it for so long." ”
Wu Meiniang said: "This is not a guarantee of victory. ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "This is enough to ensure victory." ”
Wu Meiniang was stunned for a moment, stared at Han Yi for a moment, then nodded, and didn't ask any more.
......
......
In the next few days, Han Yi has been dealing with new drugs, which is very important to him, if this is an antibiotic, it will be a very big addition to Datang.
It's just that Han Yizhen doesn't know whether Xu Changming's medicine is an antibiotic or not, how much antibiotics are accounted for, and how toxic it is.
So Han Yi also customized a complete set of test plans for Tan Dong and them, which is actually more complicated, after all, human life is at stake, first of all, we have to make sure that the other party tries the drug, and they are not responsible for the accident, and they can also record the drug reaction, but for Han Yi, this is really not very difficult, because many countries in later generations have played like this and put new drugs in other countries for testing.
After dealing with this, the imperial court began to issue currency, and now the main focus of the Tang Dynasty is to develop in the country, and it will not be said that once Tubo comes, everything has to stop. However, Han Yi could not participate in the issuance of currency, because he was both Shang Shuling and the proprietor of the gold bank, so he gave himself a long vacation and took his three wives to the hot spring manor for a vacation.
It wasn't until after the money was printed that he returned to the city to sweep the tail.
As soon as the 5.5 million yuan was deposited in the treasury, the Tibetan envoys arrived in Chang'an, and they brought a lot of gifts, gold and silver, rare treasures, and there were 200 horses in Liangju alone.
On the second day after the Tibetan envoys entered the city, Han Yi and a group of diplomats met with the Tibetan ambassador Qinling at Honglu Temple.
Han Yi had never seen Lu Dongzan's second son, he had only seen his eldest son, Zanxiruo.
And when Han Yi saw Qinling, he suddenly had a not very good feeling in his heart, because this Qinling was born heroic and extraordinary, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of tiger eyes that were blazing and heroic, just from the physiognomy, he knew that he was by no means an ordinary person.
"Qinling has seen the Tang Dynasty Shangshu Ling."
As soon as Qin Ling saw Han Yi, he immediately stepped forward and saluted with a fist hug with a very respectful expression.
Looks like this guy isn't that easy to deal with! Han Yi muttered to himself, got up and helped Qinling up, snorted twice, sighed, and said: "I already know about Father Ling, although I haven't met Father Ling a few times, but it is definitely like old at first sight, Father Ling is also a teacher and friend to me, alas..... Now that I have lost a mentor and friend, I am really sad in my heart! ”
But he was very happy in his heart, wishing that Lu Dongzan would die early, because Lu Dongzan was too cunning, Han Yi didn't take advantage of him, and when facing Lu Dongzan, he was always in a defensive posture, just trying to protect his own interests.
When Qin Ling heard this, he couldn't help but show a sad look, and said in a low tone: "Thank you for the book, it's all because we unfilial sons didn't take good care of our father, causing my father to catch the wind and cold ......." ”
This time, before there was time to greet each other, the atmosphere became full of sadness.
Han Yi comforted him a few words, and then asked him to sit down, and said: "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty has been unwell recently and can't meet you, but Your Majesty has repeatedly instructed me to let me treat you well." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Qin Ling is sincerely afraid, it can be seen that he is following his father, and he has touched the Tang Dynasty very clearly, and even his Chinese is more standard than Han Yi, and he said: "Nothing can compare to the dragon body and health of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said with a sad face: "It's just ......." ”
Han Yi said: "The prince is talking about harmony? ”
Qin Ling hurriedly said: "That's exactly what happened. Saying that, he sighed and said: "In recent years, we have had a lot of friction between Tubo and Datang, so that our relationship is far less than that during the reign of Tian Khan, but being an enemy of Datang is definitely not what we Tubo wants, not only that, we Tubo have always been grateful to Datang, if it were not for the help of Datang at the beginning, we Tubo would have been prosperous today, and now we Tubo are very much hoping to be able to marry Datang again, and hope that His Majesty Datang can fulfill us." ”
Han Yi said happily: "If you think like this, it can't be better." However, the matter of harmony and kinship may have to disappoint the prince. ”
Qin Ling looked at Han Yi in surprise, this is not pretending, you didn't talk about it, why did you refuse, this is not a good signal.
Han Yi hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, the reason why we don't want to negotiate with our relatives now is precisely to reflect our sincerity." In other words, if after this negotiation, the relationship between our two sides returns to the harmony of the Zhenguan period, regardless of each other, and the relationship is close, then it is logical to kiss and kiss each other again, and the same is true for ordinary people to marry each other. On the other hand, if we don't solve the relationships that have been bothering us, even if it is harmony, it will not help the reconciliation between our two countries, because those problems still exist, and they will not disappear because of a family matter, Shizi, do you say? ”
"Yes, Shang Shuling is reasonable." Qin Ling nodded, and said, "I sent Datang this time in the hope of solving these problems. ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "That's really good, after all, no one has gained anything from all these years of fighting, but it has made the two countries work and lose money, as a businessman, I really hate this." ”
