Han Yi was also stunned. He calculated the beginning, but did not count to the end. He never expected that Li Zhi wanted to lead the army in person.

Li Ji has had a psychological shadow on these four words.

The reason why the first attack on Goguryeo did not achieve its strategic purpose was that Li Shimin personally led the army. At that time, Li Ji, Li Daozong and others suggested bypassing those cities and directly attacking the core area of ​​Goguryeo. In fact, this was the usual tactic of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not use many troops, and they all dispatched elite cavalry troops to carry out surprise attacks and win surprises. Whether it was fighting against the Turks or Tuyuhun, they used this tactic.

At that time, in order to worry about Li Shimin's safety, Changsun Wuji and others chose to seek stability and adopted a strategy of attacking each city and one city. Although the surprise attack may not be successful, the strategy chosen by Changsun Wuji and others was the key reason for the failure, because in this way, they must fight until winter. Once winter comes, they will not be able to fight.

But Changsun Wuji and the others were concerned about Li Shimin's safety. How could you take risks here? Of course, you should take a steady approach.

At the root of this, if Li Shimin did not command the army in person, he would probably have fought and would not have been delayed until now.

Now that Li Zhi is going to be in charge of the army, Li Zhi is not as good as Li Shimin in war. Moreover, Li Zhi will definitely bring those civil servants around him. Once civil servants join the war, it will be very scary. How can Li Ji not be afraid? This is indeed his biological child.

"Your Majesty, you are a body of thousands of gold. You are just Goguryeo, so why should Your Majesty lead the army in person?" Li Ji was almost crying, so don't cause trouble. I was sure that you would at least reduce it by 50%.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Sikong, didn't you say that, it's the will of the father to destroy Goguryeo. As a son of man, I fulfill his unfulfilled wish for my father. What's wrong with it?"

In fact, the reason why Li Zhi wanted to be the emperor to personally expedition was surprisingly consistent with Li Shimin, which was because he was greedy for this contribution. Emperor Yang of Sui and Li Shimin personally expeditioned, but they failed to achieve this ultimate goal. If Li Zhi personally expeditioned Goguryeo at this time, the gap would be reflected immediately. Now Goguryeo is like a shaking and broken house, which can no longer withstand the wind and rain. As long as he kicks him hard, it may fall down. If he doesn't go, he will become a pig.

Moreover, the wise rulers in history have made all civil and military achievements. Now Li Zhi has made great achievements in governing the country. Since he took over the power, his national strength has been booming. With the arrival of Han Yi, the people have enough food and clothing, and their lives are getting better and better day by day, but they have not made any military achievements. Emperor Gaozu and Taizong are all heroes on the back of horses. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they must have both civil and military affairs. The Tang Dynasty pursued generals and prime ministers. Of course, Li Zhi also thought about showing his great talent.

He said it lightly, but Li Ji was anxious and embarrassed to say that the last time failed was because your father didn't listen to advice and wanted to lead the army in person. As a result, he made a mistake in his choice and returned in vain. I had already taken a lot of blame, so I could only keep winking with Han Yi.

Han Yi had already figured out why Li Zhi was eager to lead the army in person. The more you advise him, he would think that they looked down on him and would definitely bet on this breath. He was afraid that there would be no room for maneuver, so he said: "Your Majesty, it's too early to talk about these things now. I think the court still has to focus on preparations, and the war is a logistics."

Li Zhi had made up his mind anyway and had no intention of discussing with them. I just wanted to lead the army in person and said, "I will leave this preparation to my two dear ministers, and I am completely relieved."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, preparation is not that simple."

Li Zhi said oh, "Tell me."

Han Yi said: "What Lu Shangshu and his friends said just now is indeed reasonable. Now that the country is developing so well, it is a bit inappropriate. Fortunately, there is still some time to prepare for us. I think we can blow the wind among the people and arouse everyone's hatred for Goguryeo. Only when the whole country is united, we will be invincible."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "You are right, so you will do this."

Who can beat Han Yi when doing publicity?

"I obey the order!" Han Yi bowed and said, "There is also the matter of preparing to attack Goguryeo, which must be concealed for the time being. Oh, Your Majesty is announcing the restriction of slaves, so don't mention the merit!"

Li Zhi suddenly became cautious and said, "Why is this?" If you don't mention you, I won't take it alone.

Han Yi said: "If you let everyone know that this is what I suggest to Your Majesty, then they will soon realize that we are raising the value of foreign slaves. They may choose to be angry because they hold grudges against me and are unwilling to take out food. Your Majesty must cooperate with me in secret."

Li Zhi sounded quite uncomfortable. After all, this was an offensive thing, not what he wanted, it was planned by Han Yi, but I had to bear the blame. His style is to try to stay out of the matter and use the struggles of his ministers to achieve his goals. This time, Han Yi planned to stay out of the matter and let him take the lead.

Han Yi thought to himself, "I've taken the blame for you in the past, why should I let me take it over again and again?" He said, "And this matter should be based on Your Majesty's benevolence and righteousness. You can't say that the court is waiting for a price."

Li Zhi also made some sense when he heard this. He had to take the blame, but as long as he could destroy Goguryeo, everything was easy to say. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promised you."

After the discussion, he left the hall, Li Ji grabbed Han Yi again and said excitedly: "Why didn't you object to Your Majesty's personal expedition just now? Do you know that the attack on Goguryeo last time was because!"

The old fox said halfway, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Han Yi sighed: "Sikong, you can't even persuade him, how can I persuade him? In my opinion, there is only one person who can stop His Majesty in this matter."

Li Ji hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Queen." Han Yi said: "When I have the opportunity to see the queen, I will inform the queen of this matter and ask the queen to persuade her. Let's not worry about this."

Li Ji nodded slightly. It is really hard to persuade the ministers. You can't say that if you don't go to this battle, we can win. If you go, we may not win. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor? The queen and the emperor are husband and wife, and some things cannot be said by the ministers, but the queen can say that if Empress Changsun was still alive, Li Shimin would not have been in charge of the army. He also said: "Why don't you discuss with me in advance about restricting slaves? Even if I agree to this matter, the other generals may not agree. Didn't you deliberately make things difficult for me?"

This general is also a big family of slaves. Restricting slaves will definitely hurt the interests of the military.

Han Yi laughed and said, "Sikong, please rest assured that those generals will definitely support them with all their strength, and they don't need to rely on His Majesty's face."

Li Ji said in surprise: "Why are you so sure?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Sikong, you might as well think about it. Who is the most beneficial to restrict domestic slaves but not foreign slaves? Of course, it is a general. The first person in charge of this prisoner is all generals. Will they lack slaves? Moreover, the price of prisoners is high. Who is the most profitable? Isn't it also a general? As long as Sikong, analyze this principle with them, I can guarantee that they will definitely imitate Sikong and pardon slaves in their family. Today's pardon will bring huge wealth and can also inspire morale."

Li Ji was stunned for a while. He really admired Han Yi's five-stop service. You are a little too sensible.

This insight into people's hearts is Han Yi's strength, and Han Yi's consistent policy is to not offend the military, at most it is to slap their sons. Because the Tang Dynasty's military was very powerful and often took action in the hall, Han Yi was most afraid of taking action. Therefore, under normal circumstances, he never provoked the military.

.

.

The time has come too well. With the support of Han Yi and Li Ji, Li Zhi believes that the time is ripe and he will not fight at this time. According to Han Yi's planning, this matter should be triggered, so the matter should be restricted.

Therefore, at the court meeting two days later, Li Zhi directly announced the matter, and set an example to restrict the official and maids, intending to return a group of maids to good fortune. He also stipulated that all rewards were abolished. Some of the rewards in the past included maids, but now all of them were abolished. Why did the court need slaves in the past have been mainly exploited? Another reason is that the business was underdeveloped, and there were no commodities among the people, and the court could only do it by itself. Now that the commodity economy is developed, many things can be purchased directly, and there is no need for so many slaves.

Next, you want slaves to exploit and let them produce for the court. The things they produce are taken to war and will be sold for many years before they can be fought. Cutting slaves can be exchanged for merchants' support for war and reduce the treasury's expenditure on war. Once successful, they can do this again in the future. This account is easy to calculate.

This also shows Li Zhi's courageous side. He is not indecisive in everything. He is still very decisive in terms of military and national affairs. In history, during Li Zhi's reign, he was very determined and ruthless in every time he sent troops. He must defeat the other party, which is in line with Li Shimin.

However, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked when they heard this. There was no wind in advance, without any warning. What was going on?

Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!"

He has gotten a lot of servants back recently!

"Why not!"

Li Zhi slapped the table, Long Yan was furious and pointed at Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong was so scared that he almost lay down. The emperor had taken gunpowder today. Li Zhi had never been so brave.

The other ministers were even more silent and trembling. They were already archery and snakes. The emperor suddenly became angry again. How could he not be afraid?

Li Zhi walked to the table, glanced at him and said loudly: "Is this king's land under the world? The shore of the land, and the ministers. Every baby born on this land should be my people. Why are you a slave? It's really outrageous. During the Zhenguan period, those ministers rebelled, what was the point of rebellion? They were the hundreds of slaves in their families. These slaves had no emperor, no country, and only their masters. I have long been dissatisfied with this. These dregs left by the previous dynasty and should have been removed long ago."

Li Ji immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Lu Chengqing, Xu Shi and others also quickly stood up and expressed their support for the emperor's resolution. When the other ministers heard the word "rebellion", they were so scared that they sweated profusely. They quickly came out and shouted that His Majesty was wise, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, Li Zhi combined the slaves and rebellion together, who would dare to object?

Li Zhi looked at Xu Jingzong again and said, "Shizhong Xu, what are you objecting?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned and hurriedly said, "I have no objection, Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."

He was frightened, not trying to hold on.

Li Zhi said again: "Where is the Chief Superintendent?"

Cheng Chuliang was stunned and hurriedly stood up and said, "I am here."

Li Zhidao: "I am very dissatisfied with many of the regulations regarding my Tang Dynasty's slave law, and this matter concerns the people of the world. I now order you to make the People's Security Bureau to correct the slave law."

"As for your order!"

But as soon as he said that, he became stupid. Changsun Yan was not here, how can he correct this?
