At the celebration banquet, Li Zhi waved his hand and rewarded the generals of the army with money, silk, fields, and slaves. Anyway, it was a special reward, and everyone was very happy!

However, there is no reward for official positions, because it still has to go through formal procedures. This time, Li Zhi has many things to consider. After all, this is his first reward when he was in charge of his family. In the past, Changsun Wuji was the one who was in charge, so he was not in a hurry to reward official positions, but he would definitely be promoted, so the generals of each army were not in a hurry either.

After the celebration banquet, all the ministers went back.

Li Zhi left Han Yi alone, and many things were not enough to rely on tacit understanding alone, and he had to communicate face to face.

"I am falsely circulating an edict, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you!"

After the eunuch and the palace maid retired, Han Yi immediately bowed and apologized.

The two of them knew the most about this, so of course there was no need to pretend.

"What's your fault?" Li Zhi quickly helped Han Yi up and said with lingering fear: "Luckily you went, otherwise, I would probably be ridiculed by all the civil and military officials of the court."

When he said this, his face was a little depressed, and he didn't want to mention it anymore, and said, "Sit down!"

It is very normal to pull Han Yi around the small stove and sit side by side in the Tang Dynasty's monarch and ministers, and there are not many rules.

Li Zhi sighed, "Actually, I don't want to do it either, but you know the situation at that time, alas--!"

You only know what you think. Han Yi actually didn't know what Li Zhi was thinking. Cheng Yaojin handed over military power, which was definitely what he wanted to see. As the emperor's thinking about this power, it would be difficult for you to understand it thoroughly, and said: "I can understand Your Majesty, but it is just that I entrusted it to others. It is precisely because I know that it was not Your Majesty's original intention that I dared to forge the imperial edict."

Li Zhi coughed lightly and said, "You are not forgiving the edict, you just threw it away."

“Yes, yes!”

Han Yi said: "I just threw the edict away."

"Okay! That's all for this!"

Li Zhizhen had no face to talk. He glanced at Han Yi and laughed: "I asked you to supervise the delivery of food and grass. I originally planned to let you accumulate some credit, but you have made such a great contribution to me. I don't know how to reward you now."

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has worked hard for me for my career. I will remember it in my heart. This contribution cannot be rewarded."

"Enough! Enough!"

Li Zhi smiled. The boy was so good at speaking. He said, "I am really very pleased that you can think like this. It shows that I did not misunderstand me. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly this time, and no one can stop me."

In the past, he repeatedly wanted to reward Han Yi, but was always blocked by the ministers. This time, Han Yi gave him such a good reason, and he would not let him go, so his tone was very firm.

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

Li Zhi said again: "I have heard that you ordered the Khan of the Bead Yehu."

“That’s right.”

"Why do you want to do this? This true pearl Yehu is my enthronement, you should know."

"The reason why I did this is very simple, that is, there are no two tigers in one mountain, and there are no two kings in the country. Since Your Majesty sent troops this time to suppress the rebellion, it should be a civil war, that is, that is, that land belongs to my Tang Dynasty. If that is the case, there should not be any Khan." Han Yi said.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "You are simply saying that if the northwest is not well managed, the Central Plains will not be able to live in peace. This is a major event for the country and should not be messed up. When Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to expedition the Huns, resulting in the lack of royal courts in the north of the Mo. But so what? A hundred years later, another powerful Turkic came to the land. My father said that Han Wu had been in poverty for more than 30 years and had been exhausted and damaged China, so there was not much. How could it be that today, I would like to pacify it with virtue and make it difficult for all the land to be registered? I have always kept this in my heart!"

Of course, Li Shimin had to criticize Emperor Wu of Han, otherwise how could he show his achievements? He also had this qualification, especially in ethnic policy. In the later period, Emperor Wu of Han was in a state of war and no longer fought for the sake of the people, but satisfied his own *. This is absolutely wrong. Li Shimin eliminated the Turks, and people respectfully called him the Tian Khan and conquered people with virtue. This is the highest level of military attack and strategy. Of course, using history as a mirror, we can see the rise and fall. If Emperor Wu of Han was not in front of it, it is unknown whether Li Shimin would have done this.

Why did Li Zhi say this? It was because Han Yi's strategy destroyed the Tang Dynasty's consistent policy towards the Hu people. Generally speaking, it should be to move the Western Turkic nobles to the Central Plains, and then to support some Hu generals in the local area to manage the local area, and adopt the method of using barbarians to control the barbarians. Li Zhi also wanted to do this, and to make a living by a Tian Khan, but Han Yi was better. He killed all the nobles, and he was not killed, and he was charged with war criminals. Several large tribes were almost exterminated. Even the Zhenzhu Yehu, whom he enthroned, was arrested, and he was transported back in a prison cart, which violated the Tang Dynasty's policy toward Hu. He had to figure out the reason here. This was a big deal. If the Hu people were rebelled, it would be more than worth the loss.

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, the strategy of Emperor Taizong is indeed far better than that of Hanwu. Since this is the case, Your Majesty's strategy should be higher than that of Emperor Taizong. Xiao Gui and Cao Sui will never make a breakthrough."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard this. What he said made sense, and it was exactly what he thought. Of course, he wanted to surpass Li Shimin and even completely get rid of Li Shimin. He had enough of the education of old ministers such as Changsun Wuji. He had to have his own opinions and policies and said, "Then do you tell me what you think?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Taizong has a very big disadvantage in this strategy, which is personality worship."

“Celebrity?”

Li Zhi frowned slightly.

"good!"

Han Yi said: "Who did the Turkic people submit to? It was not the Tang Dynasty, nor the Your Majesty, but the Emperor Taizong. This is because Emperor Taizong is so great, but this is all the personal prestige and charm of Emperor Taizong. Why did Asina Helu rebel as soon as Emperor Taizong passed away? This is the reason."

Li Zhi was slightly displeased. It turned out that I was not an emperor, but he had to accept it. When Li Shimin passed away, the people of the Eastern Turks were very sad and angry, and some even committed suicide, and could not accept this fact. This is rare in Chinese history, almost this is the only one, but few people thought that Li Zhi ascended the throne, which had a great impact on him.

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am not intentionally offending Your Majesty, but the fact is that, why do those Turkic people believe in the Emperor Taizong so much? It is because the Emperor Taizong has kindness to them and conquer people with virtue, but this kind of gift is hard to come by, because the times have changed, and can only be learned from and cannot be imitated. Therefore, the Emperor Taizong's strategy cannot be sustained. I believe that when the Emperor Taizong's strategy is slightly changed and the monarch is transformed into a state. What makes the Hu people believe is not a certain monarch, but a country, our Tang Dynasty. Those Hu people should regard themselves as the people of the Tang Dynasty, nor are they the people of Tiankhan, otherwise, when the monarchs alternate, there will always be storms.

Another point is that the strategy adopted by Emperor Taizong is to use barbarians to control barbarians and select one from the tribe leaders to continue to manage the sphere of influence of the Turks. The key to this strategy is barbarians, not me. If this barbarian is loyal to Your Majesty, it is best, otherwise, he can use the power given by Your Majesty to secretly accumulate power, just like Ashina Helu, who was also appointed by Your Majesty, but what is the result? He used the rewards and titles given by Your Majesty to successfully unite various tribes, which eventually led to rebellion against our Tang Dynasty. This is not to say that the Hu people are capricious, but His Majesty gave him hope."

There is nothing wrong with saying it!

The battle between Asina Helu also revealed the drawbacks of the Tang Dynasty's strategy against Hu.

Li Zhi nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "But if he doesn't do this, what should he do?"

Han Yi said: "War is a bad strategy, and it is always bad to waste people and money. It can gain a reputation, which is not desirable. We believe that culture should be used to assimilate the Hu people and eliminate the Hu Han division, so that the Tang Dynasty can truly rule the land and the people on the land."

Li Zhi sighed and said, "No one has ever said this policy at the beginning, but the Hu people are nomadic peoples and the Han people are farming people. It is difficult to eliminate the barriers. Over the years, some people in the Hu people have moved to the Central Plains, and some people in the Central Plains have also gone to the Hu land. But as a result, those who live in the northern grassland will become Hu people. Those who live in the Middle Land will become Han people. This has nothing to do with the region and culture."

Han Yi smiled and said, "The culture your Majesty talks about is slightly different from the culture I talk about."

Li Zhi asked: "What are the differences?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty still has the ideas of Hu culture and Han culture."

Li Zhi said curiously: "Don't you?"

"I don't!"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "I only have a culture in my heart."

“What culture?”

"Of course it's the Tang Dynasty culture!"

Li Zhi blinked, he couldn't refute this. Isn't it just against himself if he refuted this sentence?

Han Yi smiled and said, "Why do people in the Central Plains call themselves Han people? This inherits the Han Dynasty, so they define Han people as Middle-earth people. However, the culture of the Han Dynasty cannot represent my Tang culture. The Han Dynasty respects Confucianism alone. My Tang Dynasty is open-minded, Confucianism and Taoism are parallel, Buddhism is also very popular, and there is also metaphysics. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom in full bloom. Emperor Wu of Han hated the Huns the most and looked down on the Hu people the most, but at that time it was because the Han Dynasty was bullied by the Huns for many years. Then the Shanyu insulted Empress Dowager Lu, of course he hated! But we cannot inherit the hatred of Emperor Wu of Han, after all, time has changed.

We cannot always treat the northern ethnic groups as different from Hu and Han. Since ancient times, we are proud of China and humbled Diyi. My Tang Dynasty loves the same as one. This is the unique culture of my Tang Dynasty. If we use Han culture to rule the Hu people, the Hu people will oppose it and do not need to implement it. But what if we use Tang culture to rule the Hu people? What is Tang culture? The Hu people's culture also belongs to my Tang culture, Hu beds, Hu boots, Hu clothes, and Hu clothes. It is also very popular in my Tang Dynasty! My Tang culture does not distinguish Hu and Han culture, so Hu Han will not oppose it. The so-called Tang culture was not created by anyone, but formed a higher civilized culture based on the civilized culture of various ethnic groups, and its influence will expand infinitely.

Of course, the reason why my Tang culture was formed was mainly because of the thought of being the only one by Emperor Taizong. What you said just now are actually habits, not thoughts and culture, and the habits of monks and clients are different, but they are all people of my Tang Dynasty.”

Li Zhi glared at this guy, and he said it well before, but afterwards, you said monks and clients, it was really a mess of a rat shit, it sounded awkward!

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty forgives me. I am from the market and cannot change some places."

"If you can't change it, can't you change it?" Li Zhi is a cultural person. He can't stand it even if you always have monks and clients!

"What Your Majesty said is, I will try my best!"

Li Zhi shook his head helplessly and carefully pondered Han Yi's words. Although he didn't understand them very much, he thought they were very awesome. Tang culture and Tang people, how nice it sounds. If he could do this, it would be even better than his father. "You said it beautifully, but how should you do this!"

Han Yi said: "Use business to promote my Tang Dynasty culture."

"Business?"

Li Zhi was slightly stunned. Promoting these should be done by the court, and it has nothing to do with business.

Han Yi was also stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, when it comes to this business, I have something very urgent to report to Your Majesty, it is related to my Tang Dynasty."

These words are so scary! Li Zhi hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, I found that in studying the rebellion of Ashinahelu, I found that there was a very important problem in our Tang Dynasty, which may bring disaster to our Tang Dynasty."

“What—what’s the problem?”

Li Zhi was frightened.

Han Yi said: "It is the equalization system of our dynasty."
