Han Yi's sudden strength also gave Lu Dong a big problem.

If you agree, you will be hit by Han Yi's trick, but if you don't agree, you will expose your ambitions.

Lu Dongzan was a battle between heaven and man at this time.

Now it was Han Yi's turn to calm down. He tasted the bitter tea, but he drank the wine with endless aftertaste.

After a long time, Lu Dongzan said, "Mr. Han, I have never encountered this before. Can you think about it for a few days?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Of course this is OK. Anyway, once the comfort of the people of our Tang Dynasty is endangered, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely dispatch troops to protect the comfort of the people of our Tang Dynasty. Please understand this more."

The implication is that no matter whether you agree or not, as long as you break through Dafeigu, I, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely send troops. This is not something you can control. This seems to be an understatement, but it shows the power of the empire and there is no room for negotiation.

Lu Dongzan nodded in a vain way, but was wondering whether this was the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty or whether Han Yi was making a fool of himself.

After talking about business, Lu Dongzan really had no intention of going out for a walk with Han Yi, and Han Yi had no intention of taking him out for a walk. Today, he came to talk about business, so he sat for a while and stood up to say goodbye.

"Mr. Han, please wait!"

Lu Dongzan suddenly called Han Yi and patted her a few times.

But a few maids walked in with a small wooden box in their hands. When the wooden box was opened, it was full of jewelry.

Of course, Han Yi understood in his heart, but he still gave Lu Dongzan two inquiring gazes very hypocritically.

Lu Dongzan smiled and said, "Dongzan comes to Chang'an and causes trouble to Mr. Han. Dongzan feels guilty. He is just a small gift. I also ask Mr. Han to accept it with a smile."

Han Yi smiled and said, "The great star is full of loyalty, then Han Yi is more respectful than obedient."

Lu Dongzan was stunned and swallowed the words to his mouth. This is not a gentleman in the Central Plains, he is clearly a robber!

Generally speaking, even if you want to accept it, you have to say a few polite words. Han Yi was fine, so he accepted it with a smile and left with these jewelry.

But it is precisely because Han Yi is too direct and has no room for Lu Dongzan to think. If you accept this gift, will you speak for me? Han Yi did not leave any hints, mainly because Han Yi was walking too fast. If it is normal for a few polite words, then Lu Dongzan can give hints. Everyone has discussions, but Han Yi did not give him this opportunity.

As soon as Han Yi left, Lu Dongzan's two confidant ministers were furious.

"Grand Prime Minister, Han Yi is really too bullying. How could he persuade people to make peace like this? If you were not allowed to break through Dafeigu, how could you fight this battle!"

"They are really shameless in the Tang Dynasty. If that's the case, we don't care about it. We can fight as much as we should. Then the Tang Dynasty dares to send troops. Humph, we want them to come and go."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Dongzan glared at the two of them and said, "The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful now. In the world, no country is the opponent of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for this, would I be so unfair? No matter what, we must be careful of the Tang Dynasty."

"But the great minister, if we agree, this battle will only consume our national strength of Tubo, and it is better to withdraw our troops."

"Of course I understand this!"

Lu Dongzan narrowed his eyes and said, "But based on the news I investigated, the Tang Dynasty is resting and should not want to send troops at this time." At this point, he paused and said, "And this is just a one-sided statement from Han Yi, which does not represent the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Whether he deliberately scared me or is it true, I think it remains to be confirmed."

One of them asked, "Who doesn't know what the big picture means?"

Lu Dongzan pondered for a moment and said, "There are many military tactics, avoiding the real and becoming weak. I have heard that Han Yi has many tricks. In the northwest, we Tubo suffered a loss at his hands. This person is not so easy to deal with. If we continue to deal with him, we are afraid we will not be able to gain a advantage. However, I believe that among the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, not everyone is like him, and there must be an opportunity to take advantage. As far as I know, in addition to Han Yi, there are several other celebrities in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, including Sikong Li, the Minister of the Secretariat Li Yi Mansion, the Grand Secretary Xu Jingzong, and Li, don't waste your time. Instead, think of a solution from the two people in Li Yi Mansion and Xu Jingzong. You can find out what they are like immediately."

Palace!

"Don't cross Dafa Valley?"

Li Zhi was shocked. He probably broke his head with such a request, and he never thought it would have happened before. He felt it was too scammed and said amused and laughed and cried: "Your request is really fatal. Lu Dongzan could not agree to you."

"Your Majesty is wise, Lu Dongzan did not agree immediately, but said he should consider it!" Han Yi said again: "But Your Majesty, I take it for granted. Our Tang Dynasty can ignore the struggle between them, but must be considered by ourselves. If the war burns to the Helong area, it will not only cause great trouble to the local people, but also reduce the enthusiasm of merchants to go to the northwest to do business. In addition, our Tang Dynasty must also redeploy troops and arrange heavy troops to the Helong area."

Li Zhi felt that it was reasonable. Both of them were vassal states, and they were not good at helping each other. The mediation was not successful. So we had to find an excuse and say a few words. It was a very good excuse for his own considerations. However, this request made by Han Yi made him a little uneasy and said, "Although you said it well, if Lu Dongzan could listen to us, it would be the best, but what if he didn't listen? Then our Tang Dynasty would be in a difficult situation."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, if Lu Dongzan doesn't listen, it shows that he has ulterior motives. Our Tang Dynasty uses the solutions to provide countermeasures. Now let's explain the words first. If we want to send troops, we will also have the name of going out. Even if we don't send troops to provide assistance, we can symbolically give Tuyuhun some assistance and find a way for ourselves. In this way, our Tang Dynasty can advance or retreat, but will not be in a dilemma.

Next, we can use this to appease Tuyuhun and urge him not to surrender to the power of Tubo. Your Majesty, if we ignore this, if Tuyuhun surrenders to Tubo in anger, it will be a very big blow to our Tang Dynasty. Their strong alliance will pose too great a threat to us. We must still appease the weak and prevent this from happening."

"Yes, you really have to be careful about this!" Li Zhi nodded and asked, "Then how do you plan to tell Nuo Hobo?"

Han Yi said: "Weichen believes that when we give Nuohuo some encouragement and support, he will think that although our Tang Dynasty was not helping each other on the surface, we would not allow Tubo to eliminate Tuyuhun and let him persist. As long as Tuyuhun can help us delay for a few years, after we stabilize the situation in the northwest, the time will be on our side by then. We can free up our hands to make plans."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Your Majesty, it is impossible to mediate their grievances, and I, Datang, have no obligation to help them. Since this is the case, why not take the purpose of all diplomatic matters from our own interests and do whatever we do, then we will do whatever we do. As for benevolence and righteousness, they will not appreciate it. From our own interests, we can at least ensure that we will not be wrong."

Li Zhi nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, all diplomacy is based on its own interests, and it should be like this. Since they do not want to obey my advice, I must also ensure that the interests of the Tang Dynasty are not harmed. Otherwise, why can my Tang Dynasty convince the public? Do what you think is right, and I will support you later."

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and said, "Your Majesty, there is another thing that I have to report to Your Majesty."

Li Zhidao: "What's the matter?"

Han Yi said: "Before I left, Lu Dongzan gave me a few boxes of jewelry. I didn't be polite to him and took them all."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Okay, you openly accepted bribes. Aren't you afraid that others will impeach you?"

But his tone is very relaxed, and obviously he won't blame Han Yi for it.

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgives your crime, I have a reason to accept this gift."

Li Zhirao said interested: "What's the reason?"

Han Yi said: "According to the knowledge of Weichen, every year the envoys come to Chang'an to pay tribute, our Tang Dynasty will give back a large amount of gifts. Only with His Majesty's care can we have today. Weichen plans to cut half of the money this year, and this half will be filled by Weichen's personal expenses."

Li Zhi said in surprise: "What? Private supplement? This money is a lot."

Han Yi said loyally: "It is the duty of the Wei minister to share the worries for the king. What Wei minister wants to say is that although Wei minister received this gift, he will give it back to Talu Dongzan at that time."

"I won't talk about this for now!"

Li Zhi said: "Do you know how much it costs?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course, Weichen has done an investigation, but Weichen is willing."

Li Zhi looked at Han Yi suspiciously and said with a smile: "You should make it clear, I know you are not so generous."

Han Yi smiled and thought to himself, I'll pay, you still have to ask the bottom of the matter, are you embarrassed?

Li Zhi said: "If you don't say clearly, I won't agree to you."

Oh! You are cruel enough! Han Yi smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's right. Weichen plans to give the perfume, pen, ink, paper, ink, and candles produced by Weichen to these foreign guests. Haha--Your Majesty also knows that the products in Fengfeilou are not very cheap. Ordinary people may not be able to afford them. It is really suitable for other countries to enjoy. Weichen believes that they will definitely come to Weichen to buy them once. Weichen--hehe--!"

It's really a businessman!

Li Zhi was completely convinced. If you give gifts, you will give them so snobbishly. He pointed to Han Yi and said, "You are worthy of being a businessman." He said, "But this is good, and he saved some money for the court, but I have to warn you, don't use this method on my head in the future, otherwise I will not spare you."

Han Yi said loyally: "Your Majesty is too worried. Even if you borrow ten courage from me, I will not dare to do this."

Li Zhi laughed twice, as if saying, "It would be strange if you believe me."
