Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Capital City, Prince Ruipin’s Mansion.

Lin Yi stretched out his hands and warmed them on the brazier. There was something serious about the expression on his face.

Zhao He was wearing casual clothes, sitting next to Lin Yi, and just stared at Lin Yi blankly.

"Brother, I'm here to talk to you today as my younger brother, can't you promise me?" Zhao He's expression was a little anxious.

He couldn't understand why Lin Yi, whom he had always loved, became so stubborn today.

He had been talking to Lin Yi for almost an hour, but Lin Yi just didn't agree.

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xi's words, the expression on his face became a little embarrassed.

promise? How to agree?

There is no way to agree to this matter.

In fact, Lin Yi had already guessed that Zhao Xi would come to him, but he really had no idea. As soon as Zhao Xi came in, he told Lin Yi that he hoped Lin Yi could enter the cabinet and become the chief minister of the cabinet and the prime minister.

How could Lin Yi agree to Zhao Xi?

In order to avoid suspicion, he didn't even want to raise his opinion on participating in politics. How could he enter the cabinet and become the chief minister of the cabinet?

If he enters the cabinet and becomes the chief minister, then his power will be too great.

How will the people of this world discuss it then?

He may not care about other people's opinions, but the problem is that he doesn't know much about people's livelihood management.

If he was really allowed to go, he would be worried that he wouldn't be able to manage it well. It will be counterproductive.

Moreover, now that Zhao Xi has just ascended the throne, it is the time when he needs to strengthen his presence. At this time, Lin Yi enters the cabinet and becomes the first and assistant minister of the cabinet. This will only create a situation for Zhao Xi and the people in the world where the minister is strong and the master is weak.

Putting aside these, let's just talk about the most important point, that is, Lin Yi wants to be lazy.

Otherwise, guess why Lin Yi is unwilling to accept the throne?

Lin Yi's dream has always been to be an idle prince who eats and waits for death. He is a worm in society and has never been a wise king.

If the tide of the times hadn't pushed him to his current position, he wouldn't have chosen to stand up.

Now Zhao He came over and told him to join the cabinet and become the chief minister? What a joke!

If possible, he wanted to hand over the military headquarters.

"Brother Xie, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore, I have made up my mind."

"In addition, our Daxia has an ancestral motto that warriors are not allowed to interfere in politics. I am a soldier now, so naturally I cannot violate it."

Lin Yi knew that Zhao Xi had always been an honest boy and respected his teachers very much.

Now that he has even brought out the ancestral teachings, he doesn't believe that Zhao He can still have an excuse.

Zhao He was somewhat speechless when he heard Lin Yi's words.

It is true that there is such an ancestral precept in Daxia, but the problem is that this ancestral precept was put forward by the founder of the country, two or three hundred years ago.

After so many years, not many people take this to heart at all.

Moreover, in the history of the empire, there were many famous ministers who were both warriors and chief ministers.

Each of those people can conquer the four directions on horseback, and manage people's livelihood when dismounted. In a true sense, they can manage the army on horseback and manage the people on horseback.

Such famous ministers have a very high status in the history of the empire.

Zhao He felt that his eldest brother was also such a person and could do the same thing and leave his name in history.

But now, Lin Yi refuses this. Zhao Xi thinks that the most likely possibility is that Lin Yi is too lazy and doesn't want to care about so many things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi's face showed a trace of grievance.

When Lin Yi saw Zhao Xi's expression, his scalp suddenly felt numb.

What is the situation? You are the emperor!

Why are you aggrieved by me?

The empire sends so many talents every year, is there a shortage of me?

I just want to lie down!

Lin Yi saw Zhao He's aggrieved expression and complained in his heart.

Finally, Lin Yi couldn't bear it anymore, so he sighed and said to Zhao He, "Hey, forget it."

"If you have any questions about people's livelihood from now on, send someone to call me and I will give you some advice."

"But I'm exempt from joining the cabinet. Just let me be lazy and don't let me die suddenly on the job..."

When Zhao He heard Lin Yi's words, his aggrieved expression immediately disappeared.

He knew that his eldest brother must feel sorry for him.

As long as he behaves a little aggrieved, Lin Yi will definitely agree to his request.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi smiled happily.

Zhao He's smile made Lin Yi speechless again.

"That's enough. You are now in your thirties, and you have become the emperor. Why can't you be more stable?" Lin Yi put one hand on his forehead. He felt like his head hurt now.

Why did the empire have such a childish emperor like Zhao Xi?

If Zhao Xi could hear Lin Yi's thoughts, he would definitely complain that he would only show this behavior in front of Lin Yi.

He would not act like this in front of outsiders, even in front of Zhao Xu.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Lin Yi is only willing to advise him behind the scenes, but is not willing to enter the cabinet. Zhao Xi has actually guessed this a long time ago.

He knows his elder brother very well. He is really the kind of person who can be lazy, and he is absolutely unwilling to do more.

What Zhao Xi was actually afraid of was that Lin Yi would really give up and not care about anything.

Now that Lin Yi has expressed his willingness to give him advice behind his back, it's pretty good. So Zhao He didn't force anything else.

Zhao He saw that Lin Yi still had some resentment, so he quickly poured a cup of tea for Lin Yi and handed it to Lin Yi's hand.

Lin Yi took the hot tea handed over by Zhao Xi, looked at Zhao Xi with an expression that was both angry and funny, and then drank the tea in the cup.

"Okay, let's talk about what difficulties you encountered." Lin Yi put down the tea cup and then looked at Zhao He.

"Brother, it's not about that old boy Bai Yu."

"The empire previously sent an edict to Sakura Country and Fuso Country, requiring them to cease fighting for three months during the ceremony."

"Terauchi Seiichi of the Sakura Kingdom is worried that the empire will use this to mediate the war between them, so he hopes to destroy the Fuso Kingdom or occupy more territory before the armistice."

"Now that old boy Bai Yu can't hold on anymore, he asked his cronies to come to Daxia with his legitimate son, hoping that we can intervene in the war." Zhao He looked at Lin Yi and threw out the problem he was facing now.

"The current situation is that the cabinet has different opinions. Some people feel that the empire can take the opportunity to mediate the war and show the world the empire's absolute control in East Asia."

"Another group of people feel that the empire should not care about this matter. If they want to fight, let them fight. Moreover, the empire has given them a final armistice date, so before the final armistice date, the empire has no excuse to intervene. .”

Lin Yi listened to Zhao He's words and nodded.

He finally understood. Isn't it just about the Fuso Kingdom? As for such a quarrel?

The military department has already reached a conclusion on the Fuso Kingdom matter, so Lin Yi doesn't think there is anything to argue about.
