Chang’an City, outside the north gate.

Outside the North Gate today, there is an army here, and many Imperial court officials are here. The leader was Li Shimin. He was ordered by Li Yuan to personally greet Du Qi entire group.

In addition to this, it is also to welcome Shibobi, the Tuli Khan, to go south to Cháng’ān.

In Zhangsun Shunde’s esoteric melodies, the situation of Tuli Khan is mentioned. But now Li Yuan no longer worried about Turkic’s threat, so he didn’t put anything in the heart and only arranged for Li Shimin to come. When welcoming Du Qi, greet Shibobi together.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are by Li Shimin’s side. In addition, officials from the Prince of Qin government are also there. Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles.

Only some of the officials behind, those belonging to the Crown Prince lineage, looked wilted and looked listless.

As for the latter, there are some insignificant courtiers.

These people make up the number.

The real imperial court bosses, such as Pei Ji and Xiao Yu, have never come.

While everyone was waiting, there was already a team of people on the official road not far away.

Here, it is Du Qi entire group.

Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde in the front, Shi Bobi in the back, a group of hundreds of people. At this time, Du Qi no longer took the Carriage, but instead rode a smaller pony.

He looked up at the majestic Chang’an City, a bright smile appeared on his slightly immature face.

Back!

It’s finally back!

Just now, it is the end of October. The weather turns cold, so the clothes are relatively thick.

Du Qi saw Li Shimin and the others. After getting closer, he rolled over and got off his horse. He walked forward with Zhangsun Shunde until he came to Li Shimin’s body and bowed together: “Prince of Your Royal Highness Qin!”

“Thanks, hard work!”

Li Shimin looked at Zhangsun Shunde and Du Qi, said solemnly: “Father Emperor is already in the palace, waiting for you for a long time Since I have come back, I will follow the king into the city and see the Father Emperor.”

“Yes!”

Zhangsun Shunde and Du Qi joined together.

Li Shimin took another look at Shibobi, without saying anything, and said: “Enter the city!”

Following Li Shimin’s order, the entire group began to enter the city.

Enter Cháng’ān from the north gate, which is the closest to imperial city. After a short time, the entire group entered the imperial city and came outside the Sweet Dew Palace Hall. However, the entire group was not summoned outside the Sweet Dew Palace Hall for the time being.

After all, it is necessary for Du Qi to talk to Li Yuan first about Shibofu’s mission.

Li Yuan summoned Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde and the others, the royal court and ministers were all present. Li Yuan first spoke about the scenes and praised Zhangsun Shunde and Du Qi for their merits in Sheji. After a formal compliment, Li Yuan changed his conversation and said: “Du Erlang has been an envoy to Turkic. It’s taller, darker, and thinner. How about, northbound Turkic, how do you feel?”

As soon as this word came out, I was shocked.

This is the major event discussed in the Imperial Court, but Li Yuan talked about the business and began to talk to Du Qi in a homely chat. This is shocking.

Some people didn’t know that Du Qi was highly regarded by Li Yuan. Now, it is completely spread. Everyone knows that Du Qi is really favored by Li Yuan.

Du Qi reported: “His Majesty, the minister went to the north as an envoy, and was very touched. This is out of Cháng’ān. After entering the Hedong Road, the more northward, the harder the people on the border will live. It’s not easy. The world is initially set, and their life is very difficult, especially many people have left their homes to avoid being attacked by the Turkic people. Great Tang urgently needs to improve its strength in order to protect the environment and the people.”

Li Yuan nodded, as the emperor of Great Tang, he knows the situation of Great Tang himself. Now Great Tang, let alone the border, even many people in various places in the interior are suffering, and food is in short supply, let alone the border.

This is no way.

After all, there are many enemies around Great Tang, and they need one after another crusade, which takes time.

Fortunately, Du Qi bought time.

Li Yuan praised Du Qi again. In front of the courtiers, he once again said the award to Li Daen, awarded Li Daen the Nobility Rank of King Dingxiang, and bestowed the hussars on the General Army. The Imperial court serves as the High Official of the Ministry of Defense.

This is a tribute to Li Daen.

Everyone also agrees.

Li Yuan also commended Zhangsun Shunde, and gave Zhangsun Shunde as the General Army of the town army. This is tantamount to the promotion of Zhangsun Shunde, making Zhangsun Shunde more of the position of casual official.

Originally, after Li Yuan ascended the throne, in view of Zhangsun Shunde’s meritorious deeds, he worshipped Zhangsun Shunde as Zuo Xiaowei’s General Army and named Xue National Duke. This is because he has a position and a Nobility Rank, and this officer’s Zuo Xiao The General Guard is just a Third Rank officer.

As for Xue National Duke’s Nobility Rank, in fact, the Nobility Rank has little influence. Since Great Tang was founded, there are many National Duke. On the contrary, the rank of scattered officials is very rare. The general post of the general army of the town army set the rank of Zhangsun Shunde, so that Zhangsun Shunde immediately entered the circle of Second Rank.

The more you go up, the more difficult it is to advance one level.

Although Zhangsun Shunde said that the envoy made merits, in fact, he mainly entrusted Du Qi to plan. Li Yuan gave Zhangsun Shunde a post of dismissal in the General Army of the town army. Zhangsun Shunde is also happily, very happy.

After Li Yuan arranged Zhangsun Shunde’s official position, he turned his eyes for the last time and fell on Du Qi’s body, saying: “Du Qi listen!”

“The minister is here! “

Du Qi immediately stepped forward and bowed in salute.

Li Yuan said: “This time Wild Goose Sect defeated Turkic Illig Qaghan and achieved fruitful results. Not only was it captured countless prisoners, but it also solved Turkic’s threat for a long time. .I see your merits in my eyes.”

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, this is what the minister should do.”

Li Yuan said: “You did you I should do it, but I have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Du Erlang, you have contributed to the community. When you are young, I will give you the Nobility Rank of the founding county male, and I will give you the title of Lantian, and then I will grant you the position of Doctor.”

The original Du Qi was the Seventh Rank Xuan Yilang.

But now the Nobility Rank is Baron of Lantian County, which is the Nobility Rank from Fifth Rank. In particular, Lantian County is not a small county, it is a large and well-regarded county, and it is close to Cháng’ān, which is located in Lantian County.

Even if Du Qi actually does not have the right to govern, it just has tax and other benefits. But for Du Qi, this is already Long En, and even the Entire Court princes have not many people who can compare with Du Qi.

As for the appointment of the Doctor, it is also a dismissal from the Fifth Rank. You don’t need to do things without Attending the Imperial court, you can receive salary.

It is equivalent to saying that Du Qi now has two wages.

One part comes from Fengyi and the other comes from scattered officials.

At this time, the officials of Entire Court looked towards Du Qi one by one, with envy in their eyes. There is even more jealousy in the eyes of some people, because Du Qi has become a founding man at a young age and has a Nobility Rank.

Be aware that this can be inherited.

Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuan’s arrangement of Du Qi, his hands in his sleeves were already clenched into fists, and his fingers were tightly squeezed. If it weren’t for knowing that Du Qi was in the limelight, blocking it at this time would be equivalent to striking a stone with an egg, and he must be blocked by others.

It’s just that Li Jiancheng also knows that Du Qi has done a great job and cannot stop him at this time. Wild Goose Sect’s great victory can be exchanged for the peace of Great Tang for several years. It is not too much to commend Du Qi for the Nobility Rank of a founding county man.
