"After all, the minister is a son and a husband, and now, he is also a father."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Li Er with burning eyes.

Li Er pondered for a while, he also knew what Zhang Yi meant by what he said, and Zhang Yi was already obviously expressing his dissatisfaction.

However, as the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he naturally has his own majesty, which cannot be questioned by others.

"Well, of course, being a father and a son must be considerate, but there is no country, where is the home, everything, you must focus on the overall situation, in this kind of major event, I hope you are no longer ambiguous."

Although Zhang Yi had already said so, Li Er still wanted Zhang Yi to go out with the army, because he always had an idea in his heart, or it was not an exaggeration to say that he was stunned.

The failure of Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo in the previous dynasty failed, and then the Great Sui Dynasty began to fall into war, so it can be said that the failure of the conquest of Goguryeo was also a cause for the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty.

And now that he Li Er is going to conquer Goguryeo, he is worried that the army of the Tang Dynasty will be like the army of the Sui Dynasty, if they fail, will he also be like Yang Guang, and will the Tang Dynasty also be like the Great Sui?

He was worried, he was afraid, so he didn't want Zhang Yi to go with the army.

Not only was Zhang Yi resourceful and able to help the Tang army turn the tide many times, but he also seemed to have good luck with him, and no matter where Zhang Yi appeared, it seemed that their results would not be too bad.

Such a guy, Li Er wants to tie him up and throw him in the army.

And in Li Er's heart, national affairs are always in the first place, and no matter how a father or a son is, he can't compare to the prosperity of the country, even if Zhang Yi is his son-in-law now.

Zhang Yi's attitude is obvious, but Li Er's attitude is also obvious.

The atmosphere had begun to be a little delicate, and Xue Li felt that something was wrong, even the eldest grandson who was peeling fruit for Li Er on the side felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Yi, who has always been very lively, has very few words, and he will not obey Li Er as much as before, even if he will save the country and express his dissatisfaction from other aspects, but he will not reject Li Er directly like now.

So, the eldest grandson couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Jingyang, now you are also the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, and Your Majesty is also your father-in-law. ”

Zhang Yi is also determined today, he will not compromise, as soon as the eldest grandson finished speaking, Zhang Yi continued to speak.

"For so many years, Your Majesty must have known that I am not a person of noble character, on the contrary, I am a selfish person, and everything I do is for myself and my family."

"Your Majesty has asked me to put national affairs first, and I beg my pardon for being powerless, if I can't guarantee that I and my family can live happily, then why should I create happiness for others."

Zhang Yi's words made Li Er and the eldest grandson's faces change greatly, if it weren't for Xue Li still sitting here, Li Er probably couldn't help but scold.

Taking a deep breath, Li Er calmed down for a moment, and then continued to ask, "So, are you determined not to go to Luo?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded.

Li Er said again: "Then if I have to let you go, do you dare to disobey?" ”

Zhang Yi bowed his head and said: "Don't dare, although the minister is selfish, but he doesn't dare to bear the big crime of disobedience." ”

Xue Li was a little strange, didn't Zhang Yi want to go? Why do you now say that you don't dare to disobey orders, isn't this a contradiction?

But Zhang Yi's next sentence made Xue Li understand instantly.

"Your Majesty also knows that the twisted melon, he is not sweet, if Your Majesty has to let me go, then the minister has nothing to say, so he has to go with the army to the east, but the one who goes with the army is just the body of the minister."

Zhang Yi said this, the meaning is already obvious, if you have to let him go, then it's okay, but don't expect him to make a contribution, he will go to grind foreign workers at most, and if you really want him to go, don't expect him to do anything for Li Er in the future.

This is already a naked threat.

Li Er was very angry, but now he didn't dare to show it, if he was someone else, at this time, I am afraid that he would have sent someone to arrest him in prison, but sitting opposite him was Zhang Yi.

The Tang Dynasty won the Turks and Tubo one after another, and Zhang Yi's credit was great, but he did not get the reward he deserved.

Others will say that he Li Er treats meritorious heroes like this, although he can completely control public opinion and say that Zhang Yi contradicts him, but the ministers in the court know the actual situation, if he really does that, it will definitely make many people feel cold.

The gains outweigh the losses, so Li Er can only choose to compromise at this time.

Besides, he was really afraid that Zhang Yi would let go of it in the future and don't care about anything, after all, he still has a place where he can use Zhang Yi now, and he is not too anxious.

"Well, okay, since you've decided, then I'll allow you to rest at home for a while, and I'll talk about it when you're rested."

Li Er is worthy of being a generation of emperors, he is still very slippery about the emperor's mental tricks, just now he had a black face and looked like he was going to eat people, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately changed to a smiling face.

Xue Li on the side watched this scene blankly, and at the same time, he also had a certain understanding of Li Er in his heart, at least, the current Li Er was no longer the good emperor in his heart who was dedicated to the people.

An emperor who is not good to his own heroes is estimated to be unable to do a good job in treating the people.

But what Xue Li didn't know was that it was true that Li Er was dedicated to the country.

But anyway, now Zhang Yi has finally solved this matter, even if the relationship between him and Li Er is a little stiff because of this, but as long as he can stay in Zhangjiazhuang with peace of mind, what does it matter?

Even if he is not summoned by Li Er for the rest of his life, he will stay in Zhangjiazhuang, which is what Zhang Yi is pursuing.

He just wants to be a rich man in peace and doesn't want to get involved in any struggle.

After living a life in a chic and dashing manner, how happy it is, why bother to find so many troubles by yourself, not to mention, the most ruthless is the emperor's family.

After a few words of confession to Li Er, Zhang Yi gave up and retired.

Since Li Er wants Xue Li to be the vanguard, he will definitely discuss some things with him, and since Zhang Yi doesn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Crusade, there is no need to continue to listen to their discussions.

Perhaps, where you stay is not a good thing, and it is not necessarily suspicious.

If Li Er values Xue Li, he will definitely hint and remind Xue Li to interact with him as little as possible, and he will leave at this time, just right, and it will be good for everyone!
