Du Qi went out of the palace to leave Li Yuan's palace. When he walked out of the imperial city, he saw another person standing outside the city under the night light, and his thin back stretched out.
It was none other than Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui did not leave after leaving the palace, but waited for Du Qi.
"Father!"
Du Qi walked up.
"Go, go home."
Du Ruhui greeted, took Du Qi into the carriage, and walked back.
Roll! Roll!
The wheels turn and drive fast.
After all, it is already late at night, and there are no people on the street, so the carriage can drive quickly. While the carriage was driving, Du Ruhui said: "Erlang, you're going to the Western Regions, and you've already thought about it before you go to the Turks. Well, to be precise, it was the message that was sent to my father at that time, saying that you should take out the money as military salary , you have an idea."
"yes!"
In front of Du Ruhui, Du Qi answered directly.
He didn't lie.
The idea of ??going to the Western Regions was indeed born at that time. Because Du Qi felt a sense of insecurity in his heart. Originally, Du Qi was in Datang, and he also felt that life was good and leisurely.
However, the industry he manages is getting bigger and stronger, but Du Qi himself is constrained everywhere. He feels like a fattened pig that has to be slaughtered at any time.
Even if Li Shimin didn't know how to do it himself, it would be extremely uncomfortable to cut flesh with a blunt knife.
So Du Qi chose to leave.
Go to the Western Regions, lay down your own foundation, and then make your own decisions.
This is Du Qi's idea.
When Du Ruhui heard Du Qi's words, he said that it was true, and then Du Ruhui continued: "It's just that you went to the Western Regions, and the land of the Western Regions is in chaos. Killing today, killing tomorrow, killing all the time. These people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty today. Tomorrow, another person has changed to join the Tang Dynasty, and it will always be a mess. If you go to such a place, can your mother rest assured?"
Du Qi said with a smile: "Father, if mother is concerned, she will be in chaos. You know your son, don't you know his ability and his method of doing things?"
Du Ruhui said: "As a father, can you not worry?"
Du Qi grinned and said, "Father, don't worry. In a word, my son will arrive in Suzhou safely and then stabilize quickly. Don't worry, Yin Changqing didn't kill his son, and Li Jiancheng didn't harm him." The Turkic people didn't kill their sons. Similarly, people from the Western Regions couldn't kill their sons. Father, please rest assured."
"You"
Du Ruhui shook his head, and said: "Your own affairs, after you go back, tell your mother yourself."
"Yes Yes!"
Du Qi smiled and said: "Mother is easy to talk about here, just say it is the emperor's arrangement. In short, I won't talk about the inside story of the matter. Anyway, it is the emperor's arrangement, so mother will not say anything more."
The two father and son walked back talking and laughing.
It was already late at night when we arrived at Du's house, but at this time the house was brightly lit.
Zheng Shi didn't sleep, so he greeted Du Qi at the gate. When Du Qi got off the carriage, Zheng Shi, Li Yanyun and Qian Xue went to greet him at the same time. It stands to reason that Li Yanyun should go home now, but he has gotten used to it over the years, so Li Yanyun is in Du's house, so no one said anything.
As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw her son coming back, her whole body became excited. She quickly took Du Qi's hand, looked him up and down, and said, "Let mother take a look, you go to fight, and you will be gone for a few months, mother." Don't worry!"
Du Qi smiled and said, "Mother, my son is fine."
Mrs. Zheng shook her head, looked at it carefully, and muttered words such as losing weight and getting dark. In fact, Du Qi was really not thin. After all, he ate well and slept well in the army, so it didn't have any effect.
As for being dark, it is a bit darker.
After all, it was in the sun.
Du Ruhui stood aside, couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Madam, Erlang has just returned, so don't delay outside. Let's go back to the house."
"Yes, yes, let's go back to the house."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded hurriedly.
He took Du Qi back.
Du Qi, Li Yanyun, and Qian Xue nodded, and then walked inside, and the family returned to the hall where the host and guest took their seats.
At this time, Du Ruhui became an invisible person, sitting on the sidelines without saying a word, it was all Zheng's chattering, asking about Du Qi's affairs in the army, not about Du Qili.What kind of meritorious service, but asking Du Qi if he can eat and sleep well.
After a long call, Mrs. Zheng said: "Erlang, during the time you were away, girl Yanyun and Qianxue, they prayed for you every day, and hoped that you would return safely. The two of them don't think about food and drink. It's not easy."
Du Qi said with a smile: "Mother, my son knows."
At this time, Zheng's face had a look of anticipation, and she smiled and said: "Erlang, this time you went north with Director Li, destroyed the Turks, and captured Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan alive. It can be said that You have made great achievements. The imperial court should have rewarded you. This time, what kind of reward did you get? The emperor can¡¯t do it, so let¡¯s give you some loose official titles.¡±
Du Qi said with a smile: "Mother, Your Majesty granted me the title of Pingxi King. From then on, your son is a prince. And now that the title is re-evaluated, your son is the first king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty."
"King Pingxi!"
After hearing this, Zheng frowned.
This is a bit strange.
Although the Zheng family is a woman, it is not because they do not understand the rules of conferring kings. Conferring a king should have a feudal state. It's just that there is only Shiyi, that is, only taxes, and no governance power at all.
But there are also place names!
King Pingxi!
Where is Pingxi?
Mrs. Zheng asked: "Erlang, your lord, why is it strange, something is wrong!"
Du Qi explained: "Mother, there is nothing wrong. The Pingxi King of my son is targeting the land of the Western Regions, not the Central Plains. Your Majesty said that if the son conquered a place outside the sandbars of the Western Regions, it belongs to the son." The closure of the country is handled by the son with full authority. This is the origin of King Pingxi."
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her eyes widened, she stood up immediately, and said, "You said just now that the land of the Western Regions is yours. That means you are going to the Western Regions?"
This is Zheng's wisdom.
She is not stupid.
Anyway, she is also from a famous family, and she can become Du Ruhui's daughter-in-law, and she is extremely smart if she can suppress Du Ruhui to death. After Du Qi said a word, Mrs. Zheng understood what was going on, and asked.
Du Qi grinned and said: "Mother, please sit down, don't worry, don't worry. Hehe, my son is indeed going to the Western Regions next time. Anyway, my son is King Pingxi."
Zheng said: "Is this arranged by the emperor?"
"yes!"
Du Qi nodded and answered.
He didn't turn red or breathe when he told the lie. Anyway, this title was indeed conferred by Li Shimin, and it was enough to bluff the Zheng family. Du Qi couldn't control the rest. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
