Chapter 1009: Salary from the bottom of the pot

Speaking of this, even Changsun Wuji was shocked and said, "You - you did so many things to let me come out of the mountain?"

Han Yi said this, and the matter was very obvious. It was obvious that Li Zhi first aroused public anger, and then Changsun Wuji came out to cheer up, gathered the people's hearts, and concentrated the Guanlong Group to fight back against Li Zhi. What would be the result?

Changsun Wuji dared not think about it. This was too terrifying and could no longer hold it back. He said in a deep voice: "Do you know that if this happens, I must compete with Your Majesty for a long time. No matter who wins and who loses, my Tang Dynasty will be divided. Have you thought about the consequences clearly?"

Although Li Zhi has now gained an advantage in facing Changsun Wuji, because the Guanlong Group is entrenched in Guanzhong, and Chang'an is also in Guanzhong, and Li Zhi is also in Guanzhong. You should know that this time, the main members of the Guanlong Group did not participate. Most of the participating were nobles and relatives, as well as some noble officials. Once the Guanlong Group united with them and then opened fire with Li Zhi head-on, the consequences would be terrible. Even if Li Zhi wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory.

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Don't be excited, I have just been appointed as the third minister of the Tongzhongshu. How could I do such a thing? Moreover, I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty and will never do anything that hurts the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji's face calmed down a little, and he said, "Then what do you mean?"

Han Yi said: "I just want to make it clear that even if you are not in the court, your Majesty will have to be afraid of you with your influence. Therefore, once the news of Your Majesty trying to clear the court out, the nobles and relatives will definitely be very panicked, but they do not have a leader, and only the Taiwei is qualified to lead them. At that time, as long as the Taiwei secretly let someone go out, they will definitely go to find the Taiwei immediately."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Do you do this to put me in danger? I finally asked Your Majesty to temporarily dispel your doubts about me. Now that this happens, isn't it a reminder for Your Majesty to be a huge hidden danger to Your Majesty here?"

"Don't you say the Taiwei, Your Majesty doesn't know? Even if Your Majesty put aside his guard against the Taiwei, then Empress, Xu Jingzong and the others, if they think you are not threatening, then why are they in a hurry to deal with the Taiwei? It can be seen that they do not intend to let you go." Han Yi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to use this to attack the Queen's and the arrogance and gain the trust of Your Majesty. The Taiwei, when facing Your Majesty, you can take the method of giving in, but when facing Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others, you cannot just give in. If the other party is aggressive, you must fight back and make them feel scared. You should still be strong when it is time to be strong. This is the most reasonable way to do both soft and hard."

Changsun Wuji became more and more confused as he heard it, thinking to himself, could he be really old! He said, "Don't keep it aside, what do you want?"

Han Yi explained: "I just said that, you are so excited by Taiwei. It is conceivable that once this situation really happens, your Majesty will definitely feel uneasy. However, Your Majesty has already spoken out. If you are scared to retreat just because someone invites Taiwei, you will go out of the mountain, then everyone will think that it is better to enjoy the cooldown under the big tree.

When things have come to this point, Your Majesty has no choice but to retreat. I guess Your Majesty will meet the Grandmaster in person and test your meaning. What if you support Your Majesty fully at that time and give advice for Your Majesty?"

Changsun Wuji opened his eyes and suddenly realized.

Han Yi said: "Everything is that someone deliberately provokes the relationship between Your Majesty and the Taiwei. You have always been loyal to the Li Tang royal family, and it is the Taiwei who helped Your Majesty when His Majesty is in the most difficult time. Your Majesty will feel guilty about the Taiwei. At the same time, the Taiwei is Your Majesty's uncle. If this nephew is in trouble, it is natural to ask for help from your uncle. This also reflects the meaning of family affection. At the same time, in order to repay the Taiwei's strong help, Your Majesty will naturally not remember the strange Han Yuan and Lai Ji."

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "But in this way, it can only protect Han Yuan and Lai Ji. Wu Meiniang and Li Yifu have no worries anymore. They can still eliminate my power in the court and build their own power, which will increase and decrease. When they come to deal with me again, I am probably already a fish on the chopping board."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Will Your Majesty ask the Taiwei for your opinion after you get the support of the Taiwei? The Taiwei is known as the smartest man in the world. As long as the Taiwei opens his mouth, it should not be difficult to satisfy His Majesty and preserve his own power."

This is indeed not a difficult task. But Changsun Wuji was still very guilty. If he couldn't do it well, no one could control it. He pondered: "This is just your guess. If His Majesty feels angry or is encouraged to kill me, it would be a loss. The risk is too great."

Han Yi smiled and said, "There will definitely be someone to instigate Your Majesty, but Your Majesty will definitely not do this."

"Why?" Changsun Wuji was stunned.

Han Yi said: "This principle is very simple. People like you, like you, either do not take action or kill with one blow. You must never give the Taiwei a chance to breathe. Once the situation arises, those ministers will go to find the Taiwei first. In other words, the initiative is actually in the hands of the Taiwei. Once your Majesty is determined to eliminate the Taiwei, the Taiwei does not need to speak. Those ministers will definitely support the Taiwei desperately, because they know that Your Majesty even needs to get rid of the Taiwei, let alone them, there is no way out to support the Taiwei after the collapse of the nest. Supporting the Taiwei is to protect their own lives. They have no way to retreat. Now the situation is so beneficial to Your Majesty, Your Majesty cannot be willing to take such a big risk easily. Your Majesty just wants to clear the court. This matter has not been directed at you from the beginning, so Your Majesty will definitely talk to the Taiwei first. There is really no way out, so you will choose the ultimate strategy."

Changsun Wuji was silent for a while, his eyes flashed for a few moments, and he suddenly stroking his beard and laughed, saying, "I didn't expect that you kid would set up such a big plan, even I was plotted against me. It's wonderful! Your trick to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot is really wonderful! Then Ashina Helu is defeated by you, he is not wronged!" He was also mixed in his heart. If Fang Xuanling was sitting opposite him, he had nothing to say, but the one sitting opposite him was a boy in his early twenties, which made him unable to convince himself.

Han Yi nodded: "Please forgive me, I have to do this as a last resort. Once Li Yi Mansion, Xu Jingzong and others are in power, the system that Emperor Taizong has worked hard to establish will probably be destroyed by them. I cannot let them succeed."

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "I blame me for this, but I still have to ask you to find a way to make up for it. Why do I have the nerve to blame you? It's really hard for you. I just came back and didn't have time to take a breath, and I have to worry about me."

"The Taiwei is so serious. Although I am not a gentleman, I am a person who knows how to be grateful. Not to mention the care of the Taiwei over the years, just the Taiwei's journey to Beixiang is enough for Han Yi to remember for a lifetime." Han Yi immediately became very humble again. Some people often say that they should keep their words of gratitude in their hearts and express them with actions, but according to psychology, good words must be said, and never keep them in mind. Saying them in person is actually more profound than actions.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand and said, "What else can I mention about this old sesame and grain?"

"It's a small matter for the Taiwei, but it's a big matter for Han Yi."

Han Yi said, and said again: "But I want to tell the Taiwei if I have something to say."

"you say!"

"Taiwei, this rat can ruin a pot of porridge at one time and another. I think there are some useless chess pieces, so why not take this opportunity and give up."

Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard this.

Han Yi continued: "Your Majesty now has ambitions and needs capable talents. If the Taiwei keeps all capable ministers around Your Majesty and only talks about national affairs, then Your Majesty will focus on national affairs without thinking about him and value these people. This will consolidate the power of the Taiwei. Those useless people, without great talents, rely on their ancestors to be domineering in the court, and they will know how to intrigue and fight for power and profit all day long. This will only give Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong and others the excuse to attack the Taiwei. Moreover, Your Majesty is not a confused person. If the Taiwei blindly protects his own people in this matter, Your Majesty will inevitably think that you have ulterior motives and give up some useless chess pieces, but the benefits you get are endless."

Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You dare to say that you have no selfish intentions in saying this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Taiwei, I am not bragging about myself. I have never taken those short-sighted people to heart. I would rather spend the time I care about them and compete with Cui Jieren, at least there is a hint of pleasure."

This is a problem, without any moisture!

Changsun Wuji agreed very much because Han Yi set up this game and plotted against him, Li Zhi, and Wu Meiniang, but none of them noticed that after those achievements, they were not Han Yi's opponents, and Han Yi had been dealing with them all the time. He thought that this had trained Han Yi. By the way, if Han Yi did not have this ability, he would not have chosen Han Yi. He thought that since Han Yi was chosen as his successor, these people would drag Han Yi back, it would be better to help Han Yi pave the way first so that Han Yi would not do it himself. He nodded and said, "Okay! I promise you."

"Thank you, Taiwei." Han Yi bowed.

Changsun Wuji suddenly said, "By the way! Do you know that the Minister of Revenue, you went to the Ministry of Revenue?"

Han Yi said: "I heard it."

Changsun Wuji said: "Do you know why?"

Han Yi said: "The Minister of Revenue wants to use me to deal with Li Yi Mansion."

"This is just a reason for him to convince me. In fact, the Minister of Revenue is not such a despicable villain. If you don't have the ability, he wouldn't do this at all." Changsun Wuji waved his hand first and said, "But I think this is a good idea. You can use your conflict with Li Yifu to take over my power in the court."

Han Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Changsun Wuji said: "What? Is there anything wrong?"

Han Yi said: "Actually, the empress saw through Gao Shangshu's intention that day and also gave me some advice. I also agreed to the empress to retreat to Li Yi's mansion, Xu Jingzong and others."

"That's how it works!"

Changsun Wuji couldn't help frowning and sighed, "There are really no mediocre people in the court today. In the past, he thought that Li Zhi was a little weak, and it was all instigated by Wu Meiniang, but now it seems that Li Zhi's methods are no less than Li Shimin. Perhaps Li Zhi knew it in his heart. Anyway, he couldn't guess Li Zhi now, which made him feel that every step he took was very difficult."

Han Yi said: "Actually there is no need for this. Compared to Han Yuan, Lai Ji, I would rather work with Mr. Changsun and Mr. Dugu, because we are all young and have a momentum, and we all yearn for pleading for the people and sharing our worries. Han Yuan and Lai Ji are still too different in age."

Changsun Wuji thought to himself, yes, they are still so young and they will be handed over to them in the future, why not let them work together now. He smiled and nodded and said, "It's good." After a pause, he suddenly said with a serious expression: "You must be careful lately!"

Han Yi looked at Changsun Wuji in confusion.

Changsun Wuji said: "Before this, you were only fighting for benefits with those nobles, but now you have to fight for life. Now those nobles hate you to the core. I am worried that they will take extraordinary measures to retaliate against you."

Han Yi said: "The Taiwei means that they will send someone to assassinate me?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "There is a possibility. After all, you are almost forcing them to a dead end. Some people may take risks and make this final desperate attempt."

Han Yi nodded and said, "I understand."

Changsun Wuji said, "But don't worry too much. This place is Chang'an after all, and the garrison is tight. As long as you pay attention to it in normal times." He suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, that man has asked about you again and again."

"Who?" Han Yi said in amazement.

Changsun Wuji just looked at him with a blame, but did not say it out.

Han Yi blinked, suddenly remembered someone and said, "Empress Wang!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said curiously: "You have only met her once, why do she always look for you?"

Of course I am charming! Han Yi said, "You dare to let the Grand Marshal guess the reason."

"You guys still get my husband's exam."

"I dare not, I dare not!" Han Yi nodded embarrassedly.

Changsun Wuji pondered slightly and said, "Take revenge!"

Han Yi said awkwardly: "The Taiwei is so smart, he can get it right as soon as he guesses."

Changsun Wuji half-jokingly said, "Then do you have a way to avenge him?"

Han Yi laughed and said, "I just want to calm her emotions. After all, seeing me is like seeing an enemy, I have no choice but to act helplessly."
