Chapter 1828 complete defeat
When Li Zhi saw Han Yi repeating the old tune again, he felt very depressed and didn't even want to beat around the bush. He said directly: "Are you testing me? Then I'm telling you very clearly now that you don't need to worry about this. I have always trusted you very much, and you should know this."
Since Li Zhi gave Han Yi the Minister of State, he was not afraid of Han Yi's rebellion, because military power was in his hands. Han Yi, like Wu Meiniang, had no military power in his hands. The commander of the army was loyal to him. Moreover, Han Yi was even far inferior to Changsun Wuji and Wu Meiniang. After all, these two people had great power in the court and had extremely high prestige among the people. Although Han Yi had prestige among the people, he laid off thousands of officials as soon as he took office. The officials hated him to the core. In this case, how could Han Yi endanger the imperial power?
Han Yi said with a sad face: "Wei Chen is really not testing Your Majesty. We really don't want to be the Minister of State. It was because of the crisis that we had no choice. Now the crisis is almost over, and we are determined not to continue."
He really didn't want to be the Shangshu Ling, and the Shangshu Ling was not in his plan tree. It had no meaning to him, and he really couldn't control it, because his administrative ability was very weak. If he wanted to seize power, he would definitely ask about the affairs of the six ministries, but the problem was that he couldn't control it at all. If he didn't care, then he would take the blame for the Six ministries, and he wouldn't take on this porcelain job without a diamond.
And if he was not the Secretary of State, the emperor would listen to his suggestion. Ten million yuan of debts are here, and that would be enough for him.
Li Zhi was really puzzled and said, "Why?"
"I'm tired! I don't have the energy to deal with so many things."
Han Yi is also very direct.
Li Zhi's face turned dark, and he had never met such a stupid minister, and the Shangshu Ling did not obey him.
Han Yi said again: "Your Majesty, I have made such a great contribution. Your Majesty should also reward me on my merits. I have no other requests. Anyway, the treasury has no money to reward me now, so I just ask Your Majesty to take back the Shangshu Order."
"You are really...!"
Li Zhi was so angry that he couldn't speak. This kid's words were really sarcastic. He really couldn't give him any money.
Li Ji quickly came out to find a way for Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, since the Shangshu Order has already said this, why don't Your Majesty help him?"
Li Zhi sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, after this matter is over, I will appoint you as the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe, who is in charge of the household, the labour and the official department."
Han Yi shook his head and said, "That's not OK. At most, I will only be the Minister of Revenue."
Li Ji was really surprised. He thought Han Yi was not a Shangshu Ling because he was afraid that he had too much power and had conflicts with Li Zhi. Shangshu Zuo Pushe did not have that much power, which was quite appropriate, but Han Yi still refused. It can be seen that Han Yi did not lie, and he was really tired.
Li Zhi was anxious and said, "You guy is really hateful. You have to be right if you don't."
Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, I am really too busy to be this Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and I don't understand it. I think Shangshu Yan and Shilang Liu are both more suitable than me. Your Majesty, you should give full play to your talents and use the goods, and put the right people in the right position."
Seeing that Han Yi was not being humble, Li Zhi said, "This is not possible. If you make such a great contribution, I will demote you immediately. You are causing me to be injustice! Otherwise, I will grant you the title of the Secretary of the Central Committee."
The current Zhongshu Ling is Li Yi Mansion, and Li Yi Mansion is just under house arrest. This shows that in Li Zhi's heart, Li Yi Mansion is no longer the Zhongshu Ling.
Han Yi said: "With my writing style, if you go to the Secretariat, you will definitely make jokes every day. This is easy to solve. I will report it every day. Your Majesty will reluctantly agree to me."
Li Zhi was stunned for a while before smiling bitterly: "Okay, okay, I promise you first, but I have to wait a while before talking."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Han Yi said again: "In addition, I am very tired recently and want to take a long vacation."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "I still want to travel."
"No, no!"
Han Yi said: "I just want to take my wife and children back to Chang'an."
Li Zhi said, "I'll send someone."
Han Yi said depressedly: "Thank you, but...just...well."
Li Zhi said curiously: "It's just what?"
Han Yi raised three fingers and said, "It's just that I have three beautiful wives."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Yuan Mudan and Yang Feixue are right?"
Han Yi said in a daze: "Your Majesty, you know everything."
Li Zhi said: "I wish I could go to the sky to find you. How could I not know the people who are accompanying you?"
"Well....!"
"I don't have time to care about you in this kind of thing. As for whether the people will say you, I believe that with your ability, two issues of the Tang Dynasty Daily can be solved."
Han Yi was suddenly extremely embarrassed.
Li Zhi snorted: "Tell you that you don't even think about traveling. You must stay in Chang'an and don't think about going anywhere."
Now Li Zhi is really inseparable from Han Yi. The court owes a lot of debts. He can't even think of how to pay off the debt with Li Zhi's IQ. He also bet on the reputation of the emperor, so he must not make any mistakes. Although it is common for the emperor to rely on his debts, Li Zhi is not a foolish monarch after all, and he was born in this aristocratic era. He also attaches great importance to his reputation and try to be as good as possible if he can do so.
Han Yi looked depressed.
Three black lines suddenly appeared on Li Zhi's forehead and said, "I'm not grateful yet."
Han Yi said depressedly: "I thank you for your kindness."
Out of Liangyi Hall.
Li Ji immediately asked, "You are really tired!"
Han Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Why do I tell the truth? People always think I am lying to others. Sikong, I really don't hide it from you. When I returned to Yangzhou, I didn't want to come back. I made so much money and I don't have time to spend it now. The saddest thing in this world is this."
Li Ji was completely speechless. I really don’t know if he should praise this kid’s intelligence or his stupidity.
......
Harem!
"The Emperor is here."
Wu Meiniang, who had been under house arrest in the bedroom, finally waited for this shout, rushed out immediately, spread her hair, and asked Li Zhi angrily: "Your Majesty, how could you treat me like this?"
Li Zhi smiled coldly and walked into the room.
Wu Meiniang immediately followed and said, "Why don't Your Majesty answer my questions? Does Your Majesty think I hope the world will be in chaos? What good is this for me? Your Majesty doesn't even give me the opportunity to explain. I am the queen after all. How can Your Majesty send the imperial guards to put me in the palace? This is really unfair to me."
"Chance?"
Li Zhi suddenly asked, "Does the queen know why I want to enter this house?"
Wu Meiniang was stunned.
"It's because I still want to keep such a little face for the queen."
Li Zhi glared at him and waved his hand.
Zhang Desheng sent a stack of information to Wu Meiniang in a trembling manner.
Li Zhi sat down and said, "These are all crimes of Li Yi Mansion. I just asked someone to investigate and found out so many things. It can be seen that Li Yi Mansion is corrupt and abused and does not even have the intention to hide it. You can take a good look."
Wu Meiniang didn't look at it at all. She didn't know who Li Yi Mansion was. She said excitedly: "I don't know anything about it."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "I don't know anything? I think you don't care about these things at all. You care about other things the most."
Wu Meiniang said, "What do you say about Your Majesty?"
"If you don't understand, that's fine." Li Zhi sneered: "I came here to lift your imprisonment. It's not that the matter has been resolved, but that I want to tell you that I want to settle the accounts with you now."
Speaking of this, he stood up, walked to Wu Meiniang, and said, "Do you know how much of my Tang Dynasty has lost in this crisis? It can be said that since I ascended the throne, you have lost all the accumulated things. The treasury is now in debt of tens of millions of yuan. This time I will never forget it easily. I must investigate it strictly to the end, and no one can escape."
Wu Meiniang said: "Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy, this is----!"
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Speak on, continue talking!"
Wu Meiniang clenched her teeth. She wanted to say that it was all done by Han Yi, but she thought about it. She didn't know what the situation outside now, and could Han Yi control it from beginning to end? She couldn't even grasp it herself because she was playing too big, how could she convince Li Zhi to believe it?
Li Zhi took a deep breath, "It would be better not a conspiracy. If it was a conspiracy, then I really don't know what to do with you."
Wu Meiniang clenched her pink fists, and her charming face turned red.
She was full of grievances, but she couldn't say it out.
"How great it would be if you weren't a queen!"
Li Zhi left this sentence and went out.
Wu Meiniang opened her phoenix eyes and said this sentence was so easy to understand. If you weren't the queen, I would have killed you. I would have told you that there are any of them.
It can be seen that Li Zhi was unable to bear it anymore. Because of the identity of the queen, the most important thing was the crown prince. Li Zhi recognized that Li Hong was really the amulet of the crown prince, and he saved Wu Meiniang. Otherwise, Li Zhi would definitely touch her.
However, there is no word "sacrifice" in Wu Meiniang's character. She wants to fight to the end, but she has to figure out what happened during this period, because she has been under house arrest and is completely unaware of the situation outside. Li Zhi just lifted Wu Meiniang's imprisonment, and it is not completely free, but Wu Meiniang can already receive information from the outside world.
It’s okay if I don’t know, but after I know it, Wu Meiniang fainted directly. This is unique in Wu Meiniang’s life. She is a very strong woman. No matter how big the crisis is, she can still grit her teeth and persevere. It is actually a miracle that she has reached this point.
However, she worked hard to establish her power in recent years, and was completely wiped out by Han Yi, and she didn't even have any slag left. Especially in Luoyang, Luoyang was her base camp, but Han Yi's indicators for Luoyang were based on the Zhenguan period. There were not many officials in Luoyang during the Zhenguan period, which meant that the Luoyang base camp was completely destroyed by Han Yi.
Also, the policy has completely returned to Han Yi's policy, and merchants began to rise. At this moment, merchants hated Wu Meiniang the most and would never support her. Now that she wants to return to the small peasant economy, even if Li Zhi agrees, the people will not agree. When you change, it turns out that the whole country is in chaos. If you want to change, then we might as well rebel immediately. Anyway, they will die all the time, which is very difficult. The court still carries tens of millions of yuan in debt, and she can't repay it. Only Han Yi, and Han Yi is the Shangshu Ling, with huge power and huge existence.
It was equivalent to Han Yi chasing all her family's assets with one move, which completely knocked her down.
Wu Meiniang fainted for a long time before she woke up slowly, tears streaming down, trembling, "It's over! Everything is over!"
In this battle, she really lost everything, the emperor's trust, her power, her policies, her reputation, and her right-hand man was about to lose.
He fell directly from heaven to hell, and there was almost no hope of reversal.
Now it depends on how Han Yi plays her. She has always been worried about Han Yi before, otherwise she wouldn't do it like this, because she is really afraid of Han Yi. She knows Han Yi too much, so how can she not be afraid of this now? Although she is not very clear about what happened and how it turned out like this, she knows that all this was done by Han Yi. Then she asks herself, if she changes, she will definitely put Han Yi to death and put her heart in the forefront. Will Han Yi let her go?
Political struggle, either you die or I die,
