Du Qi said sternly: "I support foreign wars and exterminate the foreign tribes who invaded the border. It is just that I sincerely hope that your majesty will not be blinded by the victory, and can clearly understand that the foundation of the current Tang Dynasty is still very weak. I can't afford to make a fuss, and the common people need His Majesty to work hard so that they will no longer be hungry."
After a pause, Du Qi continued: "I heard some news that there was a drought in Guanzhong this year, and many migratory locusts appeared in various places, and there are still famines everywhere in the world, and there are still refugees. At this moment, I ask your majesty to come down for such an inappropriate remark."
Li Shimin's previous expression was quite serious.
At this moment, he laughed out loud, with a relaxed expression on his face.
Because Du Qi's starting point is good.
Du Qi didn't mean to target him.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Erlang, I have already said that I forgive you for your innocence, but you just say it's okay, how can you blame you again. What's more, what you said just now is very reasonable, and what you said is very reasonable. Very timely."
"With copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; with history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses."
"Erlang's words are like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening."
"I woke up immediately."
"Speaking of the Great Tang Dynasty, even though it has won external victories, as Erlang said, even though many taxes have been exempted in all parts of the world, the lives of the people are still difficult."
"Whether it's drought, locust plague, flood, etc., the life of the people is not easy."
Li Shimin looked at Du Qi, nodded in approval and said, "Erlang's words are not only innocent, but also meritorious. This poem of yours is even more vividly written, which is very good. Erlang, what do you have today? In a word, the formation has really grown up, matured, and has a real mind and pattern."
Du Qi also laughed in his heart when he heard Li Shimin's words.
Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all.
Have enough heart.
Du Qi said sternly: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I just told some truths. Such words are really not worth mentioning. In normal times, there must be someone who would persuade Your Majesty. It's just that the boy relied on Your Majesty's trust, that's why I dare to speak nonsense."
Li Shimin said: "You are not talking nonsense, but good words."
After a pause, Li Shimin asked: "Erlang, let's talk about the victory in this crusade against the Turks. Although you never went to the battlefield to kill the enemy yourself, you have made great contributions. Especially in the battle report submitted by Li Jing, the plan to destroy the Turks was mentioned. , you are even more actively involved, and this major policy of destroying the Turks was also arranged by you. Your meritorious service is quite extraordinary. Tell me, what reward do you want, just propose it directly, as long as I can satisfy you , all allowed."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
There was a smile on Du Qi's face, and he said: "This minister will not be polite."
Li Shimin said: "But it doesn't matter."
Li Yuan followed up and said, "Erlang, if you want anything, just say it right now. You have made great achievements now, and the emperor should reward you."
The eyes of all the officials in the court fell on Du Qi, with envy in their eyes.
On the contrary, it was Du Ruhui who shook his head at Du Qi.
I hope Du Qi will not raise conditions.
Du Ruhui doesn't have any demands on Du Qi now, he just hopes that Du Qiping will be safe and live a good life. As for other things, Du Ruhui has no demands.
So Du Ruhui hoped that Du Qi would stop talking nonsense.
Du Qi said seriously: "Your Majesty, I hope to go to Suzhou and serve as the county magistrate of Jiuquan County."
Wow! !
When the officials of the DPRK and China heard this, there was an uproar.
Suzhou, it is in Longyou Road, even further west of Longyou Road, it is an extremely 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 for a while, and said: "Erlang, you must know that the east of Longyou Dao is indeed under the control of the Tang Dynasty. However, although the west of Longyou Dao belongs to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the Datang The mastery of the place is almost nonexistent.¡±
"Suzhou to the west of Longyou Road is already close to Guazhou and Shazhou, and further west, it will enter the area where the countries of the Western Regions are located. The imperial court cannot control these places at all, nor can it control them."
"Erlang, it's not a good job to go to these places. Tell me, why are you going to the Western Regions all of a sudden?serve. "
In Li Shimin's heart, he didn't want Du Qi to take risks.
There was a smile on Du Qi's face, and he said firmly: "Your Majesty, the reason why I proposed to go to Suzhou to serve as the county magistrate of Jiuquan County is because I want to open up the Silk Road and expand business to the Western Regions."
"Now in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the minister's business has already set sail, as long as it is done steadily, there will be no problems."
"If you want to expand further, you can only go west."
"It can only deal with merchants in the Far West, and with countries in the Far West."
"That's why I beg you to go to the Western Regions."
Du Qi talked eloquently, and then said: "But going to the Western Regions is not easy if you are just doing business. Because these places are intricate and complicated, everything is not easy."
"After all, the imperial court can't control many places."
"Especially there are many foreign races."
"So I hope that I can go to Suzhou to serve as the county magistrate and have an official position. Then, it will be much easier for me."
Du Qi continued: "Of course, I have a third consideration. The imperial court does not have jurisdiction over the Western Regions, and it is not easy to deal with them. After all, the imperial court's focus is now on the country, and domestic issues must be handled well."
"So I hope that I can go west."
"On the one hand, it is to open up the road to the Western Regions, and on the other hand, it is to serve as the county magistrate. Furthermore, I also hope to follow the example of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to make achievements in the Western Regions and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty."
"This is what I think."
Du Qi looked solemn, and said: "I implore Your Majesty to allow."
After Li Shimin finished listening, his eyes narrowed and he looked at Du Qi in front of him. He didn't speak all the time, just looked at it like this, his eyes seemed to pierce Du Qi's heart.
Du Qi took it calmly.
He didn't talk about going west to build his own business.
It is only said that it is the expansion of business routes.
Only in this way can there be cover.
None of the officials present said a word, but many of them thought that Du Qi was looking for something to do when he had nothing to do, and he was enjoying life in the country, but he wanted to go to the Western Regions to make troubles.
The Western Regions are not like the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.
In the land of the Western Regions, the folk customs are violent, and sometimes the common people rebel, and some even kill officials and rebel.
But Du Qi decided to go to the Western Regions.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly said: "Erlang, have you really thought it through?"
"yes!"
Du Qi answered with a solemn nod.
Originally, Li Yuan didn't intervene at this time. He was already abdicated, but when it came to Du Qi, Li Yuan was still very concerned. Just as Li Jing conveyed Li Yuan's words after he left for the expedition, we can see Li Yuan's concern for Du Qi.
It's not that Li Yuan is using any kind of tricks to win over Du Qi, it's just that Li Yuan regards Du Qi as a junior, that's why Li Yuan cares about Du Qi and hopes that Du Qi can calm down.
Li Yuan said: "Du Qi, don't be willful." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
