I’m Marquis in Great Tang

When Gao Manzheng heard Du Qi’s words, he did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment, and then said: “Deputy Envoy Du, I submit to Great Tang. This is a big deal. As Envoy’s deputy, can you be the master? Besides, after I submit to Great Tang, what positions can I hold in Great Tang and earn What is the Nobility Rank, can you call the shots again?”

He kept asking questions, and his words were quite strong.

Gao Manzheng turned his gaze, and immediately looked towards Zhangsun Shunde and asked: “General Army, can you be the master?”

Zhangsun Shunde stroked his beard under his jaw and said “When it comes to the placement of General Gao, I can’t call the shots. However, Du Qi can call the shots. Your worries are not a problem.”

Gao Manzheng was surprised when he heard this, and even more confused. Asked: “Can he call the shots?”

Du Qi is young and smart.

It may involve the major event to be submitted. General army and Zhengshi like Zhangsun Shunde cannot be the master, but Du Qi, the youngster, can be the master. Gao Manzheng feels strange.

Du Qi didn’t sell it, and explained: “General Gao, when I left Cháng’ān, I got authorization from His Majesty to do things cheaply during my mission. Not only that, I met officials during my mission. Great First class.”

Paused, Du Qi took out from the sleeves of his sleeves, Li Yuan gave us the token of my visit in person, and said: “This is a token bestowed by His Majesty. On behalf of His Majesty. After you submit to Great Tang, what Nobility Rank will you hold? This matter needs His Majesty to decide. I can’t call the shots. But I can be sure that you will not be treated harshly after you submit to Great Tang. This is my answer. .”

On hearing Gao Manzheng’s words, it became practical.

Although his official position and Nobility Rank cannot be determined for the time being, but Du Qi can call the shots and things will be easier. Moreover, as long as Du Qi agrees to Li Yuan on behalf of Li Yuan, Great Tang impossible refuses such things.

The reason is very simple. If Great Tang denies Du Qi’s decision and rejects the high-man government that has already been submitted, then in the future, who will dare to submit to Great Tang? This is a question of faith.

It’s just that Gao Manzheng has some doubts.

Du Qi is just a child, Li Yuan granted Du Qi too many rights, it is not simple.

Gao Manzheng thought for a while, and suddenly said, “Deputy Envoy Du, are you an illegal child of Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Tang. Otherwise, how could you have such power and power above everyone else? “

Du Qi burst into laughter when he heard the words.

The idea of ​​Gao Manzheng is really like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies, saying that he is Li Yuan’s illegal child.

Du Qi said: “General Gao, my father is Du Ruhui, who served as a member of the army of Prince of Qin. Because His Majesty trusted me, I was granted the right. This is His Majesty’s long grace. “

Gao Manzheng said: “Deputy Envoy Du, this is a joke, don’t take it seriously.”

Du Qi said: “No problem!”

He It is also clear that this is a joke made by Gao Manzheng, and there is no malice.

Gao Manzheng’s expression turned serious, and he said: “Long Sun General Army and Deputy Envoy Du, I am willing to submit to Great Tang. But after I submit to Great Tang, will I immediately announce the news? After all, this is not a piece of information. Little things.”

Zhangsun Shunde still looked towards Du Qi and did not speak.

He believes in Du Qi’s judgment.

Du Qi directly said: “General Gao’s return to Great Tang will not be publicized for the time being. We are going to Turkic this time, and may need General Gao’s secret assistance. If General Gao returns to Great Tang, the news spreads. It may cause variables for us to go northward. So General Gao’s resignation must be announced to the outside world, and we have to wait for us to return.”

“No problem!”

Gao Manzheng answered with a smile.

For him, it is not at all the difference between an earlier announcement and a later announcement of his submission to Great Tang.

Gao Manzheng continued to ask: “I don’t know when General Gao Sun and Deputy Envoy Du are going to go north?”

Du Qi said: “What can General Gao have in going north? Any suggestions?”

Gao Manzheng said: “It’s really nothing to suggest. After all, Deputy Envoy Du is very talented. With Deputy Envoy Du, everything is not a problem. But regarding Jieli’s situation, I Understand a little bit. Jie Li is extremely powerful and self-directed. His methods are very tyrannical. You must be careful.”

Du Qi nodded.

Coming out of Cháng’ān, Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde are collecting news about Jie Li. Some news about Illig Qaghan is actually very clear. The so-called know yourself and know your enemy is in this way.

Gao Manzheng said again: “General Zhangsun, there is one more thing. Yuan Junzhang is captured, what do you plan to do with it?”

Zhangsun Shunde did not hide it, and said directly: “Yuan Jun Zhang is currently detained in Wild Goose Sect without surrendering for the time being. If he does not surrender, there will only be one result waiting for him, and he will be put to death.”

Gao Manzheng is nodded, but there are some worries in his eyes. After all, after he surrendered, if Yuan Junzhang complained to him, when the time comes, Yuan Junzhang also surrendered, but it would be bad for him.

Du Qi lightly said with a smile: “General Gao, in fact, you don’t have to worry about it. Even if Yuan Junzhang also submits to Great Tang, you are impossible to work together. When the time comes, each has something to do Yes.”

After Gao Manzheng heard this, he was deeply moved.

Du Qi is really a monster.

He just asked about Yuan Junzhang’s situation, and never said anything, Du Qi actually saw through his intentions. Faced with such an evildoer, even Gao Manzheng felt a little guilty in his heart.

In front of Du Qi, he felt that he didn’t even have any secrets. Du Qi could see through everything.

“Report!”

At this moment, a soldier was speaking outside the camp.

Gao Manzheng said: “Come in!”

The curtain of the camp was raised, a soldier strode in, cup one fist in the other hand bowed to Gao Manzheng, and said: ” General Gao, someone from outside the camp, claiming to be on the order of Princess Yicheng to see you.”

Princess Yicheng Yang Li has been in Turkic, transcendent position, and has cultivated a certain amount of power. Anyway, she served the Qimin Khan father and son,

Gao Manzheng instructed: “Please come in!”

“Yes!”

The soldier immediately To inform.

Gao Manzheng said: “General Sun, Deputy Envoy Du, you two, please go behind my screen for the time being to hide. This Yang Li is here, I don’t know what it is for, so I can’t leak you. News.”

“Yes!”

Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde walked to hide behind the screen.

After a while, a Court Eunuch entered.

This person’s name is Cao Cheng.

He is quite old, nearly fifty years old. She is Court Eunuch next to Yang Li. In the early years, she came to Da Sui with Yang Li and waited for Yang Li.

Cao Cheng was a little arrogant and said: “General Gao, I am here on Princess’s order. Princess hopes that General Gao can kill the Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde entire group that is about to go north, and destroy Great Tang’s Envoy. “

Gao Manzheng said: “Why should I do this?”

Cao Cheng looked solemn and said: “As long as Great Tang Envoy is killed, Turkic and Great Tang will have a battle. .When the time comes, Great Tang failed, the Great Sui re-established, and on the day of rewards, the king of Sui will appoint General Gao as king. General Gao, for you, this is actually a very simple thing, He Le Not for it?”

Gao Manzheng sneered in his heart.

Cao Cheng said lightly, but in fact, if he kills Zhangsun Shunde and Du Qi entire group, on the one hand, it will destroy the overall situation of Jieli, and on the other hand, it will not be tolerated by Great Tang. Dilemma in the middle.

Da Sui is dead long ago.

Even if Yang Zhengdao is present, the Great Sui Dynasty is gone, and it is impossible to regain the country. Moreover, Gao Manzheng did not believe in any enfeoffment, because Great Tang is now, even if the strength is not as good as Turkic, but Turkic will destroy Great Tang, which is basically impossible.

Yang Li’s qualitative plan is nothing more than to use him to provoke a war and let Yang Zhengdao the fisherman catches both.

Gao Manzheng is not stupid.

He knows the current situation very well.
