I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Du Qi said resolutely: “The minister supports the foreign warfare to eliminate the aliens who invaded the border. But the minister sincerely hopes that His Majesty will not be blinded by victory, and he can clearly understand Until now, Great Tang’s foundation is still very thin and cannot withstand the toss. The people need His Majesty’s hard work to stop being hungry.”

paused, Du Qi continued: “The minister heard something It is reported that there was a drought in Guanzhong this year, and there were many migratory locusts in various places. There were still famines and refugees everywhere in the world. On this occasion, the minister said such an untimely remark, please His Majesty convicted.”

Li Shimin’s previous expression was quite serious.

At this moment, it was laughed heartily, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Because Du Qi’s starting point is good.

Du Qi did not intentionally target him.

Li Shimin smiled and said: “Erlang, I have already said that you are not guilty, but you can say that it’s okay, so I can ask you again. Even more how, what you said just now is very good It makes sense, and this remark came in time.”

“With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed up; with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; and with people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses.”

“Erlang’s words are like morning bells and evening drums.”

“I immediately wake up.”

“Speaking of this Great Tang now, although it is obtained from the outside Victory, but also as Erlang said, even if many taxes are exempted in all parts of the world, people’s lives are still sad.”

“Or drought, locust plague, or flood, etc. Wait, people’s life is not easy.”

Li Shimin looked towards Du Qi, nodded in approval and said: “Erlang’s words are not only innocent, but they are credited. Your poem, It is more vividly written, which is very good. Erlang, you have these words today, the organization has really grown up, is mature, and has a real mind and structure.”

Du Qi listened to Li Shimin’s words, and laughed in his heart.

Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all.

Have enough mind.

Du Qi said resolutely: “His Majesty is overpraised. The minister is just telling the truth. Such remarks are really not worth mentioning. If it is normal, there must be someone who will advise His Majesty. It’s just that the youngster relies on His Majesty’s trust, so he dares to talk nonsense.”

Li Shimin said: “You are not nonsense, you are Gold Jade’s good words.”

paused, Li Shimin asked: “Erlang, talking about the victory against Turkic at this time. Although you have never personally gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, you have also made suggestions and merits. Especially in the battle report submitted by Li Jing, it mentioned the destruction of Turkic. You are more actively involved in the strategy of destroying Turkic, and you also arranged it. Your merits are quite out of the ordinary. Let’s talk about what rewards you want, just put it forward, as long as it is If I can satisfy you, I will allow it.”

“Thanks His Majesty!”

A smile appeared on Du Qi’s face and said, “You are so welcome. Now.”

Li Shimin said: “But it’s okay to say it.”

Li Yuan followed: “Erlang, what do you want, just say it right now. You are now , But you have made a great feat, the emperor should commend you.”

The gazes of the officials of the Imperial court all fell on Du Qi, with envy in their eyes.

Instead, Du Ruhui shook his head to Du Qi.

I hope Du Qi will not mention conditions.

Du Ruhui now has no requirements for Du Qi, so he hopes that Du Qi will be safe and live a good life. As for the others, Du Ruhui has no requirements.

So Du Ruhui hopes that Du Qi will not talk nonsense.

Du Qi said resolutely: “His Majesty, the minister hopes to go to Suzhou to serve as the County Magistrate of Jiuquan County.”

hua!!

When the Imperial court officials heard this, they were in an uproar.

Suzhou, that is on Longyou Road, and even to the west on Longyou Road, it is a very remote place.

No one expected that Du Qi would go to Suzhou to serve as the County Magistrate.

Li Shimin also did not expect it, because Du Qi’s request was really abrupt.

Li Shimin thought a little, and said, “Erlang, you must know that the various places in the east of Longyou Dao are now under Great Tang’s control. But the various places in the west of Longyou Dao, although they belong to Great Tang, but in fact, Great Tang has almost no control over the place.”

“Suzhou, west of Longyou Road, is already close to Guazhou and Shazhou, and further to the west, You have to enter the areas where the Western Regions are located. The Imperial Court can’t control or control these places at all.”

“Erlang, going to these places is not a good job. Tell me why suddenly , I’m going to work in Western Regions.”

Li Shimin’s heart is that he doesn’t want Du Qi to take risks.

Du Qi had a smile on his face, and said confidently: “His Majesty, the reason why the minister proposed to go to Suzhou to serve as the County Magistrate in Jiuquan County was because he wanted to open up the Silk Road and move business to Western Regions expand.”

“Now in Great Tang, Chen’s business has already set sail. You only need to be steady and steady, and there won’t be any problems.”

“If you want to expand again, you can only go West.”

“You can only deal with merchants in the extreme west and countries in the extreme west.”

“So the minister urged to go to Western Regions.”

Du Qi talked eloquently, and then said: “But going to Western Regions is not easy if you simply do business. Because these places are tangled and complicated, everything is not easy.”

“After all, the Imperial Court can’t control many places.”

“Especially there are many foreign races.”

“So the minister hoped that he could go to Suzhou to serve as the County Magistrate. An official position is in. Then, the minister is much easier to handle.”

Du Qi continued: “Of course, the minister has a third consideration. The Imperial Court is actually not under the jurisdiction of Western Regions now, and It’s not easy to deal with. After all, the imperial court is now focusing on domestic issues and must deal with domestic issues.”

“So the minister hopes to go west.”

” On the one hand, it is to open up the road to Western Regions. On the other hand, it is to serve as the County Magistrate. Furthermore, I hope that I can imitate Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, make achievements in Western Regions, and open up territory for Great Tang.”

“This is what the minister thought.”

Du Qi looked solemnly, and said: “I beg His Majesty for permission.”

After listening, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes. Get up and examine Du Qi in front of him. He hasn’t spoken, just looking at it like that, his eyes seem to penetrate Du Qi’s heart.

Du Qi takes it calmly.

He did not say that he would go west to build his own business.

I only talked about expanding trade routes.

So there is a cover.

All the officials present did not speak, but many people thought that Du Qi was okay with troubles, and enjoyed the good fortune in the country, but they had to go to Western Regions to toss.

Western Regions are not like the Great Tang Central Plains.

In the Western Regions, the people are fiercely violent, and the people are in chaos from time to time, and there are even more killings and rebellions.

But Du Qi is going to Western Regions.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly opened the mouth and said: “Erlang, have you really considered it clearly?”

“Yes!”

Du Qi nodded solemnly to answer.

Li Yuan didn’t intervene at this time. He is already an abdicator, but Du Qi is involved. Li Yuan is still very concerned. Just as Li Jing conveyed Li Yuan’s words after the expedition, we can see Li Yuan’s concern for Du Qi.

This is not Li Yuan’s tactics to win over Du Qi. It is purely that Li Yuan regards Du Qi as a junior, so Li Yuan is concerned about Du Qi and hopes that Du Qi can calm down.

Li Yuan opened the mouth and said: “Du Qi, don’t be willful.”
