Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 503 Fulfill Your Wish
"After all, my servant, as a son and a husband, now, he is also a father."

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Li Er with burning eyes.

Li Er pondered for a while, he also knew the meaning of what Zhang Yi said, Zhang Yi was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.

However, as the Ninth Five-Year Master, he naturally has his majesty, which cannot be questioned by others.

"Well, as a father and a son, of course you have to be considerate, but there is no country, where is the family from, and everything should be done with the overall situation in mind. I hope you will stop being ambiguous about this kind of important matter."

Although Zhang Yi had already said that, Li Er still wanted Zhang Yi to go out with the army, because he always had a thought in his heart, or it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was bewildered.

In the previous dynasty, Yang Guang failed to send troops to conquer Goguryeo, and then the Great Sui Dynasty began to fall into war. It can be said that the failure to conquer Goguryeo was also an inducement for the demise of the Great Sui Dynasty.

And now that Li Er is going to conquer Goguryeo, he is worried that the army of the Tang Dynasty will be like the army of the Sui Dynasty. If they fail, will he be like Yang Guang, and will the Tang Dynasty be like the army of the Great Tang Dynasty? Like Sui?
He was worried, he was afraid, that's why he wanted Zhang Yi to go out with the army.

Zhang Yi is not only resourceful and able to help Tang Jun reverse the situation many times, but he also seems to have good luck in him. No matter where Zhang Yi appears, it seems that their results will not be too bad.

For such a guy, Li Er wanted to tie him up and throw him in the army.

Moreover, in Li Er's heart, national affairs always come first. No matter who is a father or a son, he can't compare with the prosperity of the country, even if Zhang Yi is his son-in-law now.

Zhang Yi's attitude is obvious, but Li Er's attitude is also obvious.

The atmosphere was getting a little tricky, Xue Li felt something was wrong, and even the eldest grandson who was peeling fruit for Li Er felt something was wrong.

Zhang Yi, who has always been very lively, talks very little, and he will not obey Li Er as before. Even if he would save the country in curves and express his dissatisfaction from other aspects, he will not be as direct as he is now. Li Er refused.

Therefore, the eldest grandson couldn't help but said: "Uncle Jingyang County, now you are also the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, and your majesty is also your father-in-law. Logically speaking, you should share the country's worries. Why do you want to do it now?" I'm going to stay at home and enjoy it."

Zhang Yi is also determined today, he will not compromise, just after the eldest grandson finished speaking, Zhang Yi continued to speak.

"After all these years, Your Majesty must have known that I am not a person of noble character. On the contrary, I am a selfish person. Everything I do is for myself and my family."

"Your Majesty asked me to put the country's affairs first. Please forgive me for my powerlessness. If I can't guarantee the happiness of myself and my family, then why should I create happiness for others?"

What Zhang Yi said made Li Er and his eldest grandson's faces change drastically. If Xue Li was not still sitting here, Li Er might not be able to bear the curse.

Taking a deep breath, Li Er calmed down, and then continued to ask: "So, are you determined not to go to Luo?"

Zhang Yi nodded.

Li Er said again: "Then if I insist on letting you go, do you dare to disobey?"

Zhang Yi bowed his head and said, "Don't dare. Although the minister is selfish, he dare not take such serious crimes as disobedience."

Xue Li was a little strange, didn't Zhang Yi not want to go?Why do you now say that you dare not disobey orders? Isn't this inconsistent?
But Zhang Yi's next sentence made Xue Li understand instantly.

"Your Majesty also knows that a twisted melon is not sweet. If Your Majesty insists on letting me go, then I have nothing to say, so I have to go with the army, but the one who goes with the army is only my body."

When Zhang Yi said this, the meaning was already obvious. If you insist on him going, that’s fine too, but don’t expect him to do anything. He’s going to do foreign work at most, and if you really want to let him go, don’t let him go. Then expect him to do something for Li Er.

This is already a blatant threat.

Li Er was very angry, but he didn't dare to show it now. If it was someone else, he would have sent someone to jail by this time, but the one sitting opposite him was Zhang Yi.

Datang defeated the Turks and Tubo one after another, and Zhang Yi contributed a lot, but he didn't get the reward he deserved. If he was arrested this time because of this matter, he would inevitably be criticized.

Others will say that this is how he, Li Er, treats heroes. Although he can completely control the public opinion and say that Zhang Yi contradicts him, the ministers in the court know the actual situation. If he really does that, he will definitely Let a lot of people chill.

This is not worth the loss, so Li Er can only choose to compromise at this time.

Besides, he was really afraid that Zhang Yi would let go and do nothing in the future. After all, he still had a place to use Zhang Yi, so he couldn't be too hasty.

"Well, well, since you have already made up your mind, I will allow you to rest at home for a while, and let's talk about it after you have rested."

Li Er is worthy of being a great emperor of a generation. He is still very slick with the emperor's mind. He had a dark face just now, looking like he was going to eat people, but in a blink of an eye, he immediately changed into a smiling face.

Xue Li on the side stared blankly at this scene, and at the same time, he also had a certain understanding of Li Er in his heart. At least, the current Li Er was no longer the good emperor in his heart who was busy with the world and dedicated to serving the people.

An emperor who is not good to his heroes may not be able to treat the people very well.

But what Xue Li didn't know was that it was true that Li Er was dedicated to the country.

But no matter what, now Zhang Yi has finally settled this matter. Even if his relationship with Li Er is a little stiff because of this, as long as he can stay in Zhangjiazhuang with peace of mind, what does it matter?

Even if I don't get summoned by Li Er for the rest of my life, I just stay in Zhangjiazhuang, that's what Zhang Yi pursues.

He just wanted to be a rich man with peace of mind, and he didn't want to get involved in any struggles.

It's such a joy to live a life in style, why bother to find so many troubles by yourself, not to mention, the most ruthless is the emperor's family.

After a few words of guilt to Li Er, Zhang Yi resigned.

Since Li Er wanted Xue Li to be the vanguard, he would definitely discuss some things with him. Since Zhang Yi didn't want to interfere with the Eastern Expedition, there was no need to continue to listen to their discussions.

Perhaps, where you stay, it is not a good thing, and it is not necessarily that you will attract suspicion.

If Li Er valued Xue Li, he would definitely hint and remind Xue Li to keep as little contact with him as possible. It is just right for him to leave at this time, and it is good for everyone!
