Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 560
Luo Yi said flatly, "I plan to resign as Prime Minister, and court is not suitable for me."

Luo Cheng didn't object, but said, "Uncle, you've thought it over clearly. Being a general and becoming a prime minister is what a warrior dreams of but can't achieve. You have already achieved it at a young age. With your age and body, even if you are in the middle of the court It will be fine if you work for ten or eight years, maybe you can get a Situ or Taishi to become an official in the future."

He stroked his beard, but Luo Yi shook his head. In the situation in the court, being a prime minister is actually just a nod to the emperor. The emperor doesn't really need a prime minister to handle state affairs for him. It's just the prime minister.To Luo Yi, what is the significance of such a prime minister? One must know that in the past, prime ministers held great power, claiming that prime ministers ruled the world with the emperor.

But now, the emperor is not even willing to give the real titles of prime ministers like the three high-ranking officials, and only allows them to be given the title of political advisor.

Not to mention the fact that Kaikai Mansion has subordinate officials, even if they work in the imperial city, they don't have much freedom.

Instead of staying in the court and just dozing off like Su Wei and nodding, or becoming like Yu Shiji and Pei Yun who only know how to flatter, then he might as well not be the prime minister.

"I have been in the court for more than half a year, and I have thought about invigorating the court and changing the current atmosphere, but I am really powerless." He almost scolded the faint king.

The ideal of the emperor is great, and the emperor is also diligent, but this diligent and great emperor has become paranoid. Since Luo Yi doesn't want to become a traitor who only knows how to flatter, he might as well leave.

"Uncle, I heard that Yu Wenshu is coming back?"

Luo Yi smiled wryly, "If it wasn't for this incident, I wouldn't be so determined to leave. I really don't understand what His Majesty thinks, but still want Yu Wenshu to come back." Speaking of this, he shook his head . "Now I hate that my punch didn't hit the middle point. It would be nice if I just killed him."

Luo Yi still believes that Luo Cheng's assassination was really instigated by Yu Wenshu.

Luo Cheng didn't explain.

"But don't worry, even if I leave, before I leave, I will make Yu Wenshu unable to turn over before leaving." Luo Yi said harshly.

"If you leave, where does uncle plan to go?"

Luo Yi said flatly, "Actually, I still like Youzhou and have stayed there for more than ten years, but now you are staying behind in Liaodong, so it is impossible for me to go to Youzhou again. Hedong is also a good place, but for the same reason, you can't go to Youzhou anymore. It is impossible for me to go to Hedong."

Luo Cheng is currently staying behind in Liaodong, controlling eleven counties outside the pass. Although half of the soldiers and horses in his hand have been cut off, there are still [-], especially since the left behind has great power, and if a prime minister like Luo Yi is released, even if he If you don't give someone to stay behind, at least you have to give a comfort ambassador and an important prefect.

If the two were close, the emperor might not be at ease.

"There are about three options before me. One is to go to Qinghai. Daye destroyed Tuyuhun in five years, and set up Xihai, Heyuan, Shanshan, and Qiemo four counties. However, in the next few years, Qinghai was not stable. On the contrary, the various tribes of Tuyuhun The rebellion has continued, and Guanlong Hexi has been conscripted and used for years, consuming countless troops and people, and it is now a bottomless pit."

Luo Yi had been the Prime Minister for half a year, and also served as Minister of the Ministry of War, so he had a relatively deep understanding of the situation in Qinghai.

Although Tuyuhun was wiped out by the Sui Dynasty a few years ago, this place with thousands of miles of land is not weaker than Goguryeo. It has been completely beaten into a pot of porridge after years of fighting. The imperial court destroyed Tuyuhun and established four counties. Want to stabilize the northwest, especially to allow the imperial court to enter the Western Regions with peace of mind, and restore the prosperity of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty.

But who would have expected that it was true that the Tuyuhun Kingdom was destroyed, but the Tuyuhun people did not surrender. Compared with the time when Tuyuhun became a vassal, the frontier was more turbulent. Guanlong sent troops all the year round, and the people were already suffering.

Luo Yi thought that if he asked to go to Qinghai, the emperor would be willing, but the situation there was not very good, and he didn't have much confidence.

"The other two places, one is Jiaozhi, which is south of Lingnan. A few years ago, the imperial court sent troops to the south to destroy Linyi, but now Linyi has been restored to the country and started to harass the border again. This southern border is too far away from the Central Plains. , if it is not strengthened, I am afraid that there may be a risk of being invaded at any time."

"The last one is Nanning."

This Nanning is not the Nanning of Guangxi in later generations, but the area around Kunming, Yunnan.At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court established the Nanning General Administration Mansion in Qujing, later Yunnan, to govern most of the later Yunnan.

However, this side is still dominated by Jimi. Although the imperial court has set up government offices, it is still mainly managed by local tribal leaders. In the past 30 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Liao people in Nanning and Xining did not know how many times they rebelled. Famous generals such as Shi Wansui and Yang Su have all gone to conquer.

It is almost a little chaos every year, and a big chaos every three years.

Qinghai, Jiaozhi, Nanning.

Neither is a good place, especially Cochin is the farthest, and Nanning is the most chaotic.

"Uncle, if you really plan to leave the imperial court, I suggest you choose Qinghai. Although Qinghai has been rebellious in the past few years, Qinghai is close to Helong after all. The imperial court has stationed heavy troops in Hexi and Longxi, and it is also close to the capital of Guanzhong. If my uncle goes to Qinghai personally, as long as he has [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, and keeps fighting while fighting, with three to five years of merit, the situation in Qinghai will be completely stabilized."

And what Luo Cheng didn't say is that Qinghai is close to Guanlong. When the Sui court is still there, it can lean on the important land of the capital and have sufficient manpower and material support. If the Sui Dynasty collapses, Luo Yi You can also quickly swing your troops east into Guanzhong, and you can seize important places.

It is possible to advance, attack, retreat and defend.

But the premise is to be able to put down the Tuyuhun rebellion in Qinghai. After all, the court has been unable to put them down after fighting for several years, which fully shows that these Tuyuhun people and Qiang people are still very tough.

"Qinghai? I also prefer Qinghai. It seems that we have the same idea." Luo Yi laughed.

"But what if the emperor asks uncle to go to Nanning or Jiaozhi?" Luo Cheng asked.

Luo Yi was startled for a moment, and thought about it.

"It doesn't matter whether he is in Jiaozhi or Xining, he is not afraid to go wherever he wants. It is the same to go to Nanning Pingyaoren or Jiaozhi Township. As long as he can continue to lead troops, he will live in such a miserable life."

Luo Cheng smiled and didn't say much.

According to his thinking, it would be more beneficial for Luo Yi to stay in Beijing as prime minister.After all, he is far away in Liaodong, and the court still needs a relatively solid backup. Someone in the court is good to be an official.

But my uncle doesn't want to stay in the court, so what can he do.

Luo Yi emphasized to Luo Cheng again that even if he wanted to leave, he still had to press Yu Wenshu on the ground and rub hard before he left.

"If I go to Qinghai, I will let Yu Wenshu go to Nanning, and if I go to Nanning, I will let him go to Jiaozhi."
