    ?

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, I have thought clearly. Now, I am mainly engaged in business, hoping to make a career. It is not a skill to transfer the money of my own people. But if I can earn money from countries in the Western Regions, then  That's what matters."

    Li Yuan smiled, but shook his head again.

    He thinks Du Qi willful.

    However, Li Yuan did not speak again.

    Li Shimin said again: "Erlang, I'm asking you once, have you really considered it?"

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, I have considered it clearly."

    Li Shimin nodded. He believed that Du Qi was not a casual person, and looking at Du Qi's appearance, it really seemed that he had planned it a long time ago, and it was not at this moment that he came up with the idea.

    Li Shimin was thinking about it.

    Appointing Du Qi as the magistrate of Jiuquan County is too cheap.

    Anyway, Du Qi is the title of the second rank, and also a loose official of the second rank.  Of course, the rank of titles and casual officials is still somewhat different from that of official officials, and there is no connection between the two.

    After a while, Li Shimin had already made a decision in his heart, and he said, "Du Qi listens to the order!"

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "You have made great achievements in the war of destroying the Turks, and I will confer on you the title of King Pingxi and Prince of the First Rank."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Du Qi responded immediately.

    King Pingxi, this is the first king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty.

    You must know that there was Li Dayen before, who was originally named Hu Dayen, and was given the national surname, so he became Li Dayen and became a prince.  The titles have been re-determined, and all the titles have been re-established. Generally, they have declined.

    So much so that after the title was lowered, there were no prince titles in the entire clan, not to mention that the former kings with different surnames were all lowered, either to the Duke of the State, or to the King of the County.

    There is no title of prince of the opposite sex.

    And even if there is a title, it is not given to the fief, but to the number of households in the town.  Such an arrangement is equivalent to how much money is given.

    Du Qi's is different.

    Du Qi became the first one, especially Du Qi's King Pingxi, who was not crowned king according to Shiyi, which is extremely rare.

    Li Shimin said: "Erlang, do you know why I ordered you to be the prince of King Pingxi?"

    Du Qidao: "I don't know, please teach your Majesty."

    Li Shimin said sternly: "It's a good thing that you are going to the Western Regions to do business. But business is a small business after all. I hope your goal can be farther and more ambitious."

    "Since you want to open up trade routes and imitate Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, I will fulfill you and give you the title of King Pingxi. Moreover, I will give you another promise. The area on Longyou Road is outside the sandbar of Longyou Road.  The land to the west, as long as you can take it, I will give it to you as your feudal country, and you have full power to govern it."

    Today's Datang territory has not expanded beyond Guazhou and Shazhou, but only to Shazhou.  Even so, in fact, the imperial court's control over this Longyou Dao was almost nonexistent.

    The court is also weak.

    Especially today's knighthood has changed, and there is no right to govern the place.  Du Qi is different, giving Du Qi the right to govern is equivalent to saying, let Du Qi go to the Western Regions to toss, how much you can win, that is your feudal country.

    Du Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

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

    So as to control your own destiny.

    Unexpectedly, Li Shimin directly gave this condition, not only giving Du Qiping the title of King Xi, but also giving Du Qi the right to govern the place.  In this way, everything will be different.

    Li Shimin looked at Du Qi's astonished expression, smiled on his face, and said, "Erlang, I won't give you the official position of Jiuquan County Magistrate, but I will give you this position, what do you think?"

    ? Du Qi clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is so kind, I have nothing to repay you, but I can only swear to serve Your Majesty to the death."

    Li Shimin said: "Today's Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou and other places, although in name, have surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. In fact, they all have their own forces."

    "Since you are going to the Western Regions, I will not only give you the above-mentioned rights, but also give you tasks. Your task is to go to Suzhou, wipe out the local forces, and completely wipe out the three states of Suzhou, Shazhou, and Guazhou.  Into Datang's control."

    "At that time, Datang will send troops to station there."

    Li Shimin said: "Are you sure?"

     Du Qi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, even if the subject is dead, he will complete this task."

    "good!"

    A smile appeared on Li Shimin's 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 Tubo, etc., all need to be crusaded.

    He didn't have time to take care of the Western Regions.

    So it was a good arrangement for Du Qi to go.

    It is a move of idle chess.

    As soon as Li Shimin changed the subject, he said: "Okay, that's all for Du Qi's arrangement. Then the biggest first contribution in this battle should be Li Jing. Li Jing's contribution in this battle is obvious to all. I worship Li Jing Shangshu right  Servant She, granted the title of Dai Guogong, bestowed Zuo Guanglu Doctor, enfeoffed 500 households in the city, and participated in state affairs."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Hearing this, Li Jing quickly came out to express his thanks.

    ?Shangshu Youpu shot, which means that Li Jing has become a minister of the Chancellor. Of course, the actual government orders are handled by Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others, but Li Jing is honored and favored.

    Especially Dai Guogong, this is the rank of the county king, as for Dr. Zuo Guanglu, it is also the official rank of Wen Sanguan.

    A series of awards came down.

    It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Jing is an extremely human minister.

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

    This is the reason for the master of high meritorious service.

    Civilian officials have high meritorious service and have little influence because they have no influence in the army.

    Military generals have high meritorious service, but they are different.

    Therefore, Li Jing was extremely cautious in his heart, secretly telling himself to act in a low-key manner and not to be anxious.

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

    Li Shimin said: "The rewards for the rest of the people are based on meritorious service, and all arrangements will be made later."

    Li Jing, as the marching chief, said: "I am waiting for all the soldiers, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

    Li Shimin said: "Okay, let's get down to business, tonight is a celebration, in short, today's celebration, just drink freely. Come, come, don't go home if you don't get drunk."

    After Li Shimin spoke, everyone began to drink and congratulate again.

    One by one talking about interesting things.

    All of them were extremely happy.

    Du Qi's words became just 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 group of people drank and chatted, from daytime to evening, and stopped after dark.

    Only then did they leave.

    It's just that when Du Qi left, someone from the palace came to Du Qi's side and said, "Prince Pingxi, the Supreme Emperor invites you to go."

    "knew!"

    Du Qi nodded.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
