Li Yuan changed the subject and asked: "Erlang, you have been in Daizhou for such a long time, have any new works come out?"
He is very fond of Du Qi's works.
Although there are many new novels published in Xinhua Bookstore, there are also some amazingly talented ones. But none of these novels suit Li Yuan's appetite, so they can only be used to pass the time. Li Yuan really hoped that Du Qi could write a book so that he could enjoy reading again.
Du Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no new book for the time being. There are so many things going on now that I don't have time to think about them. Well, I'm back in Chang'an and I will be free for the time being. I will try my best to think about it."
Li Yuan looked regretful when he heard the words.
It is a pity that Du Qi does not write books.
Li Yuan said: "Well, I am waiting for your new book."
Du Qidao: "I try my best."
After talking for a while, Du Qi took his leave and left. After all, he was restrained in the palace. When Du Qi returned to Du's house, he went straight to his yard. Today's Du's old house, although there are some people left behind, responsible for cleaning, etc., but without Du Ruhui, Zheng Shi and others, and without a family, it is much deserted.
Du Qi had lunch at home, took a short rest to recover his strength, and left Du's house early in the afternoon to go to the mansion of Prince Zhaojun Li Xiaogong. After returning to Chang'an, I had to meet my future parents-in-law.
Du Qi went to meet at the door of Li's house. When the concierge saw that it was Du Qi, he took Du Qi in and went straight to the study. When Du Qi saw Li Xiaogong, he saluted and said, "Young Du Qi, I have met King Zhaojun."
Li Xiaogong waved his hand, signaled Du Qi to sit down, and said, "Erlang, about your return to Chang'an, I met Chang'an County Magistrate Du Chuke a few days ago, and I heard Du County Magistrate mentioned that you came back to worship the ancestors. It's just that you came back Now, where is Yanyun?"
Obviously, Li Xiaogong was looking forward to Li Yanyun's return.
After raising such a big daughter, after going to Daizhou in the north, there was no other news except for letters to report safety on weekdays. Now it's the end of the new year, Li Yanyun is not coming back, Li Xiaogong is not angry, but misses him a little.
Du Qi explained: "Yanyun is now in Daizhou and is responsible for many business matters. Before I left, I asked her if she would go back to Chang'an. She said that she would not come back this year because of too many things. Yanyun also said , if Zhaojun Wang and Wangfei miss her, they can go to Daizhou to play for a while."
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he felt a pain in his heart.
After raising such a big daughter, suddenly, the little girl's wings became stiff, and she didn't care about family affairs. The most important thing is that this daughter has not really married yet, she is just engaged, but she has not returned home.
Li Xiaogong felt sour in his heart.
It's not that Li Xiaogong has any thoughts, since Li Yanyun won't come back, then let's ignore it. He changed the subject and said: "Although you came back this time, it is for the Du family's ancestor worship, but besides that, there should be some other things."
Du Qidao: "But there are some things, mainly business matters. So, I will come back in person."
Li Xiaogong didn't ask any more questions.
Du Qi didn't say anything, he didn't bother to ask.
Li Xiaogong and Du Qi talked about the affairs of the court, and then asked Du Qi to have dinner. After dinner, Du Qicai left Zhaojun Prince's Mansion and returned to Du's home.
At night, Du Chuke came.
When Du Chuke saw Du Qi, there was a bright smile on his face, and he said excitedly: "Erlang, you are back. Now that uncle is here, I really have many things to ask you for advice."
Du Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, uncle will take his time. The matter can be solved one by one, and it can be finished."
Du Chuke began to explain.
He said one thing, and Du Qi solved one thing.
In Du Chuke's opinion, it was extremely difficult to deal with, but for Du Qi, it was easy to solve. Du Chuke spoke out one by one, and many things were resolved one by one.
Du Chuke breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "Erlang, you should really be the magistrate of Chang'an County. If you serve as the magistrate of Chang'an County, you must have clear politics, good governance and harmonious people, and there will be no unjust, false or wrong cases."
Du Qi shook his head and said: "Uncle is absurd. In fact, I can handle it easily because I am outside the bureau. After all, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are obsessed. If I were in the bureau, I would also encounter the same situation as my uncle. Even if I was in charge The county magistrate of Chang'an may not be able to achieve the level of uncle, so there is no need for uncle to belittle himself."
Du Chuke said: "Your boy is good at comforting people."
After a pause, Du Chuke said: "Now that you come back to worship the ancestors, it should be more than just worshiping the ancestors. Besides, you also?What needs to be done? "
A trace of surprise flashed across Du Qi's eyes, and he regained his composure in an instant, saying: "Because there are some business matters, so I will take advantage of the opportunity of ancestor worship to deal with them in Chang'an."
At this moment, Du Qi was on guard.
Be more vigilant.
When he went to see Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaogong asked him what his intentions were when he came back. When he saw Du Chuke now, Du Chuke also asked him what else he could do besides worshiping the ancestors.
Obviously, both Li Xiaogong and Du Chuke knew that Du Qi must have something important to do when he returned to Chang'an. In other words, even Li Xiaogong and Du Chuke are aware of things, others must have guessed.
Even Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and others may have guessed that at least the East Palace may be watching Du Qi's whereabouts.
Du Qi's actions must be cautious.
Can't reveal flaws.
Once there is a mistake, it will be extremely difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Du Qi didn't elaborate, Du Chuke didn't go to the bottom of it. For him, he just mentioned it, and he had no curiosity to delve into the purpose of Du Qi's return. After Du Chuke finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, got up, took his leave and left.
Du Qi sat in the study, thinking about Chang'an's actions.
He really needs to pay attention now.
Be cautious in everything.
Not long after, the door was pushed open with a creak, and it was Liu Zhengxi who entered. Liu Zhengxi bowed to Du Qiyi, sat down and said, "My lord, according to your arrangement, I have inquired about Wang Jun's situation."
Du Qi laughed and said, "Let's hear it!"
Liu Zhengxi said: "Before, because Wang Yan dealt with Datang Academy, he received 30 military sticks. During this time, he has been cultivating his body. Especially in cold weather, the wounds are not easy to heal."
"To this day, Wang Jun seldom goes to Donggong Dianmao to do things. And since Wang Jun was beaten, although Li Jiancheng said that he gave some compensation and Wei Zheng went to visit, no one has cared about Wang Jun since then. Condition."
"Especially there is another incident recently. Wang Zun's wife fell ill not long ago. Even though Wang Zun has a salary, the salary is meager, which makes the family quite struggling. After all, Wang Zun still has a son who is studying, life is a bit difficult."
Liu Zhengxi said: "In the East Palace, no one cares about Wang Jun's affairs."
Du Qi was a little surprised when he heard it, and asked, "Didn't Wang Jun go to the prince for help?"
"No!"
Liu Zhengxi shook his head and said: "Wang Yan is a bit of a character, at least for the time being, he has never asked the East Palace for help. I investigated the situation of the Wang family, and the situation of the Wang family was not easy. After all, there is a half-grown kid, and this kid grows up When I was healthy, I ate more than adults, and I was still studying, especially in Chang'an, but it was a waste of money."
"Although Wang Yan is an official of the Eastern Palace, he is only a seventh-rank official with a small salary."
"Wang Yan's salary alone cannot support a family. Therefore, Wang Zhen's wife often has to sew and mend for others to subsidize the family. Even the family's food and clothing expenses are quite frugal."
"It stands to reason that Wang Hao has contributed to Donggong, but Donggong doesn't care about it."
Liu Zhengxi smiled and said: "The most important thing is that after the East Palace treated Wang Jun as an abandoned son, many officials have lost contact with Wang Jun. It seems that the current Wang Jun is being marginalized."
Du Qidao: "This is just right!"
If he wants to win over Wang Jun, he needs Wang Jun to have a heart of resentment. If Wang Xun is determined to Li Jiancheng, otherwise, how will Du Qi win over Wang Xun and how to make Wang Xun work for King Qin.
?Wang Yan is well-behaved in the East Palace, if he is valued by Li Jiancheng, it is impossible to betray Li Jiancheng.
Liu Zhengxi said: "When does the young master plan to see Wang Yan?"
Du Qidao: "I have just returned to Chang'an, and my whereabouts must be paid attention to. Whether it is His Majesty, the prince, or others, they may be staring at me. If you want to see Wang Yan, you must also be cautious and make no mistakes."
Liu Zhengxi said: "My lord, I have a way."
Du Qi said: "Let's listen to it!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
