    ?

    Ma Zhou stood still and said: "Caomin Ma Zhou, see King Pingxi."

    Du Qidao: "Sit!"

    Ma Zhou thanked him and sat down, only to hear Du Qi say: "Ma Zhou, Mr. Wang said that you are an outstanding student in the academy. I have no doubts about your talent and learning. People who can enter Mr. Wang's vision are not mediocre.  "

    Ma Zhou said hastily, "His Royal Highness is full of praise."

    Du Qidao: "I just want to ask you one thing. I am based in the Western Regions. Although I belong to the vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, I have already offended the emperor. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty finishes dealing with internal problems, he will definitely attack me next.  This king is going to war with Datang, do you think you can win?"

    After Ma Zhou heard it, his expression was calm, and he said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness, Ma Zhou has just arrived here, and he has never understood the strength of King Pingxi, and he does not know how King Pingxi retreated from the Tang army this time."

    "But I believe that it will take at least a year before the Great Tang attacks King Pingxi again, or even longer. With this time, King Pingxi will be stronger."

    Ma Zhou said: "The current King Pingxi is not strong, but he can still make the Tang emperor retreat. As time goes by, I believe it will be easier to make the Tang army retreat."

    Du Qi laughed and said, "Ma Zhou, what you said is a bit tricky."

    Ma Zhou said neither humble nor overbearing: "Because Ma Zhou doesn't know the situation of King Pingxi's army, the deployment of the army, and the equipment in the army. They are all secrets. If there are no such factors, they don't know anything. They can only use tricks."

    Du Qi nodded, and had no opinion on Ma Zhou's response, which was actually a good answer.  Du Qi paused for a moment, then asked again: "Ma Zhou, do you have family members in Datang?"

    "there is none left!"

    Ma Zhou shook his head and said: "When I was young, my parents died, and I lived alone since I was a child. Although I am married now, my wife came to the Western Regions with me."

    Du Qi nodded and said: "If you work for me, you may not be able to reach the sky in one step, and you may need to start from the smallest official. You may even be allowed to go to the village and serve as the chief of the village. Are you willing to do all of these?"

    Ma Zhou said without hesitation: "Your Highness, I am willing even if I am only the head of a village. You can go a thousand miles without taking a few steps. If you don't understand the basics, it will be difficult to govern a place. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, that's because  Everything is well known. If there is no such thing, it is impossible to govern a big country, so I am willing to sink to the bottom to serve."

    "Okay, not bad!"

    Du Qi nodded and said: "You come to the Western Regions, I welcome you very much. However, your official position needs to wait for a while. This king will give you an official position after careful consideration."

    Ma Zhou said: "It all depends on His Highness' arrangement."

    Ma Zhou thought it was worthwhile to be able to become an official here in Du Qi in the Western Regions.  Because after this step, the next step is to rely on his ability to advance step by step, and he believes that he is fine.  Compared with the talents in the Western Regions, he Ma Zhou has enough confidence and ability to do things.

    Du Qi said: "Back off."

    "yes!"

    Ma Zhou bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

    Du Qi ordered Ma Zhou to call Lai Ji, and after Ma Zhou responded, after leaving the hall, he saw Lai Ji and said, "My dear brother, King Pingxi invites you in."

    Lai Ji said, "Thank you, brother."

    He never asked Ma Zhou what Du Qi said, nor what Du Qi wanted to ask.

    With a flick of his sleeve robe, he stepped in.

    Laiji was born in a family of generals. His ancestor was Zhonglang Future She of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father was General Zuo Yiwei of the Sui Dynasty to protect his son. It stands to reason that he was also a prominent family.  It's just that when Jiangdu changed, Yang Guang was killed, and Lai Hu'er fought to the end. Finally, after Lai Hu'er died in battle, it affected the people in the Lai family.  was also slaughtered.

    In the end, because Lai Ji and Eleven Brother Lai Heng were young and not at the house, they escaped.

    ?Because Lai's family was destroyed, his family was in decline, and Laiji was scattered in all directions, so that he was displaced, and he saw too many joys and sorrows, and he knew more about the sufferings of the world.

    It is precisely this that makes Laiji mature in his twenties.

    Laiji walked steadily, he stood still and said: "Come down here, see King Pingxi."

    Du Qi said: "Sit down."

    Laiji bowed and saluted to thank you, and after he was seated, Du Qi said: "Laiji, you are from a famous family. Although your family is in decline, your family is loyal and brave, and your family tradition is very good. Moreover, with your background and talents, even if you are a  In Datang, there is also a very good future. Why do you want to come to the Western Regions?"

    Compared to Ma Zhou, Laiji offers more options.  Even though Lai's family was in decline, Lai Ji's father, Lai Huer, was a general in the Sui Dynasty. It was not difficult for him to become an official under the name of Lai Ji's son.

    This is Du Qi's inquiry.

    Laiji said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I came to the Western Regions for three reasons."

    Du Qidao: "This king is all ears."

    Laiji said: "The first reason is that there are more opportunities in the Western Regions. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, serving King Pingxi in the Western Regions, the promotion speed is faster, and there will not be too many dirty things."

    "The second reason is the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty, but also the power of the Great Tang Dynasty. My father would rather die than to be loyal to Yang Guang. Although I don't have the loyalty of my father, but when I have more choices, I am willing to give up the Great Tang Dynasty.  Tang, and choose the Western Regions."

    "The third reason is that my elder brother Lai Heng has already become an official in the Tang Dynasty. Although the world is temporarily stable, the existence of King Pingxi has brought a little change in the world. For the sake of Lai's family, my elder brother stayed in the Tang Dynasty, and  I¡¯m coming to the Western Regions. By doing this, I¡¯m not putting all my eggs in one basket.¡±

    Lai Ji said: "Ping Xi Wang, this is the reason why I came to the Western Regions to serve as an official."

    "Good reason."

    Du Qi smiled, with an expression of approval on his face.  Laiji's words have already been explained very clearly.

    Du Qi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Laiji, now this king is hostile to Datang. Tell me, how can we turn the situation around, and even go to Datang?"

    This is what Du Qi did on purpose.

    He now has no plans to attack Datang.  Especially with Li Shimin here, Du Qi has no such plan.  Not only because of his father, but also because of people like Li Shimin and Li Yuan.  Furthermore, Li Shimin is a hero, and Du Qi can protect himself in the Western Regions, but if he wants to counterattack Datang, it will be extremely difficult to win.

    Today's Datang, the overall strength is too strong.

    This did not prevent Du from asking questions.

    Laiji smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Highness, let me say something impolite. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, is here, and it is difficult to destroy the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin is a man who sweeps up the world.  The Tang Dynasty is thriving and the national power is getting stronger and stronger, and it is impossible for King Pingxi to counterattack, at least for Li Shimin."

    Du Qi nodded.

    Laiji's analysis is indeed good.

    Li Shimin's talent is rough, as long as Li Shimin is around, it is almost impossible to break the Tang Dynasty.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
