I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Du Qi said: “Retired Emperor, the minister thinks carefully. The minister nowadays is mainly in business, hoping to make a career. Transferring money from his own people does not count What kind of ability. But if you can earn money from Western Regions, then it is considered ability.”

Li Yuan laughed, but shook the head again.

He thinks Du Qi is headstrong.

However, Li Yuan did not speak any more.

Li Shimin still said again: “Erlang, I am asking you once, have you really considered it?”

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, the minister thinks carefully “

Li Shimin nodded, he believes that Du Qi is not a random person, and looking at Du Qi’s appearance, it does indeed seem to have been planned for a long time, and it was not just proposed at this moment. idea.

Li Shimin thought to himself.

The appointment of Du Qi as the County Magistrate in Jiuquan County is a price drop.

Well, Du Qi is the Nobility Rank of Second Rank, and also the casual officer of Second Rank. Of course, the Nobility Rank and the rank of the casual official are still somewhat different from the official official, and there is no connection between the two.

After a while, Li Shimin had made a decision in his heart. He opened the mouth and said: “Du Qi Hearing!”

Li Shimin said solemnly: “You are destroying Turkic’s During the war, you have made meritorious service. I specially appoint you as King Pingxi, the first rank prince.”

“Thanks His Majesty!”

Du Qi immediately responded. .

Pingxi King, this is the first surnamed Wang of Great Tang.

Be aware that there was Li Daen before, who was originally named Hu Daen. He was given the national surname, so he became Li Daen and became the king. But in fact, after Li Shimin became the throne, he played in Du Qi and Li this year. When Jing went abroad, the Imperial Court had re-organized the Nobility Rank, and re-designated all the Nobility Ranks, which generally declined.

So that after the Nobility Rank is lowered, there is no Prince Nobility Rank in the entire clan, let alone the different surnamed Wang, all of which are lowered, or reduced to National Duke, or reduced to Prince of County.

There is no Prince Nobility Rank of the opposite sex.

Moreover, even with the Nobility Rank, now it is not given to Fengyi, but to Fief. This arrangement is equivalent to how much money is given.

Du Qi is different.

Du Qi became the first, especially Du Qi’s Pingxi King, not according to Fief to seal the king, this is extremely rare.

Li Shimin said: “Erlang, do you know me, why did the emperor make you the king of King Pingxi?”

Du Qi said: “The minister does not know, please teach His Majesty.”

Li Shimin said resolutely: “You are going to the Western Regions to do business, which is a good thing. However, the business situation is smaller after all. I hope that your goal can be farther and more ambitious.”

“Since you want to open up trade routes and follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, I will fulfill you and give you the Nobility Rank of King Pingxi. Moreover, I will give you another promise. The area on the Longyou Road is in Longyou. Outside the sandbar on the right, to the west, as long as you can take it down, I will give it to you. As your feudal country, you have full authority to govern.”

The Great Tang territory today has not expanded to Go outside Guazhou and Shazhou, only to Shazhou. Even so, the actual Attending the Imperial court’s control over this Longyou Road is almost nothing.

Imperial Court is also weak.

Especially today’s knighthood, but there have been changes, and there is no right to govern the place. Du Qi is different. It gives Du Qi the right to govern, which is equivalent to saying that if you let Du Qi go to the Western Regions to toss, how much you can win, that is your country.

Du Qi raised his brows, very surprised.

What he asked for was actually to go to Western Regions and establish his own power.

So as to control your own destiny.

Didn’t expect, Li Shimin directly gave this condition, not only granted Du Qi the Nobility Rank of King Pingxi, but also granted Du Qi the right to govern the place. In this way, everything is different.

Li Shimin looked at Du Qi in astonishment with a smile on his face, and said, “Erlang, I won’t give you the post of County Magistrate in Jiuquan, but what do you think of it? “

Du Qi cup one fist in the other hand said: “His Majesty Longen, the minister has no retribution, only to die for His Majesty.”

Li Shimin said: “Today’s Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou and other places, although nominally, they belong to Great Tang. In fact, they all have their own forces.”

“Since you have gone to Western Regions, I will not In addition to the above-mentioned rights, you are also given tasks. Your task is to go to Suzhou, sweep the power of the place, and put the three states of Suzhou, Shazhou, and Guazhou under Great Tang’s control.”

“At that time, Great Tang will send troops to station.”

Li Shimin said: “Are you sure?”

Du Qi said resolutely: “His Majesty, even if he is dead, he will complete this task.”

“Okay!”

Li Shimin smiled on his face.

For Li Shimin, he is now busy managing the domestic situation, especially in Li Shimin’s eyes, as well as Tuyuhun, Goguryeo, and even Tibet, etc., which all need to be punished.

He has no time to take care of Western Regions.

So Du Qi went, it was a good arrangement.

It’s a free move.

Li Shimin changed the front of the conversation and said: “Okay, Du Qi’s arrangement is like this. Then this battle, the biggest first achievement is Li Jing. This battle is due to Li Jing, It’s obvious to all. I worship Li Jing High Official’s right-hand shot, give the National Duke to the National Duke, and give the Glorious Grandmaster to the left, and 500 households to participate in state affairs.”

“Thanks to His Majesty!”

Li Jing came out to thank you after hearing this.

High Official shoots from the right, which is equivalent to saying that Li Jing has become the Prime Minister’s Small Official. Of course, the decrees are actually handled by Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others, but Li Jing is honored. Pamper yourself.

Especially on behalf of National Duke, which is the Nobility Rank of the Prince of County First class. As for the left Glorious Grandmaster, it is also the official rank of the prose officer.

A series of awards came down.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Jing is a small official.

Li Jing is also very calm, without any pride, and Li Jing is a person who knows the honor and disgrace. He is a Confucian general, even if it can be said to be a literati, but he has certain characteristics of a warrior, so this identity is prone to problems.

This is the main reason for high power.

Civil officials are highly meritorious and have no influence because they have no influence in the military.

The military commanders have high merits, but they are different.

So Li Jing’s heart is extremely cautious, and she secretly warns herself to act low-key and not to be anxious.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Li Jing sat down again.

Li Shimin said: “The awards for the rest of the people, etc., will be arranged in accordance with the merits.”

Li Jing, as the general manager of the march, said: “Thank you. His Majesty Longen.”

Li Shimin said: “Okay, get back to business, tonight is a celebration. In short, today’s celebration, even if you have a drink. Come, come, not drunk or return.”

With Li Shimin talking, everyone began to drink and express joy.

Talking about funny things one by one.

Everyone is extremely happy.

Du Qi’s words became an episode. In fact, the reason is very simple. Du Qi made suggestions and Li Shimin adopted them, so there is nothing to say.

A crowd of people drinking and chatting, from daytime to evening, to stop after dark.

At this time, they left separately.

Only when Du Qi left, a palace official came to Du Qi’s side and said: “Pingxi King, Retired Emperor, please go there.”

“I know That’s it!”

Du Qi nodded.
