I'm a marquis in Datang

"His restaurant has made countless profits."

"Today's Du Erlang, in terms of his ability to make money, there are probably countless people who can't compare to Du Erlang."

"At such a young age, he can turn stones into gold and make countless money. Even if he is in a humble position, he can't compare to Du Erlang in terms of business. If this kid is willing to work for His Royal Highness, then His Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about money. things."

Wei Zheng said: "After all, His Royal Highness wants to win over the courtiers, and it will cost a lot."

Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said: "What Xuancheng said is very true. If Du Erlang can be recruited, these problems can indeed be alleviated.

The money bestowed by the court, but now that the Tang Dynasty was established at the beginning, the money used is not much, so that the Prince's Mansion has not much money. "

Wei Zheng continued: "Du Erlang wants His Highness the Crown Prince's warrant, just give it to him. After all, it has no effect on His Highness the Crown Prince. Especially this time, our intention is to win over Du Qi, not to deal with Du Qi."

Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement.

He quickly wrote a warrant and handed it to Chen Dapeng, who asked Chen Dapeng to go to Du's house again.

Chen Dapeng was actually very dissatisfied in his heart.

However, Chen Dapeng didn't say anything.

The prince never reprimanded him, and it was even more impossible for him to go against the prince's wishes, so Chen Dapeng rode honestly and rushed to Du's house. After entering Du's house, not long after, Chen Dapeng saw Du Qi again in the hall.

Without further ado, Chen Dapeng took out the warrant of Prince Li Jiancheng, handed it to Du Qi, and said angrily, "Du Qi, follow me, the prince is waiting for you to go."

"Not urgent!"

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Look at my clothes, they are very shabby. Wait until I change my clothes, and then go with you. Otherwise, it would be bad to go to see the prince, because it is too shabby to make His Royal Highness unhappy. .”

"you…"

Chen Dapeng was about to collapse.

How did I meet such a person.

Du Qi is a young boy, but he has a lot of tricks.

The most important thing was the request made by Du Qi. Chen Dapeng couldn't pick any thorns, so he could only nod his head in reply and let Du Qi change his clothes.Not long after, Du Qi came out. He changed into a simple and elegant white robe. Although the clothes were not luxurious, they were neat and elegant.

"Let's go!"

Du Qi gave an order.

After Chen Dapeng took Du Qi out of the house, he wanted Du Qi to ride a horse, so Du Qi asked, could it be possible to ride a horse and walk back, and even Chen Dapeng sent Du Qi back in person?

Chen Dapeng stopped talking immediately, he was upset with Du Qi, why should he send Du Qi back?

He couldn't understand Du Qi.

Chen Dapeng did not stop Du Qi from taking the carriage, and the two went straight to the East Palace, doing their own thing.Entering the East Palace, Li Jiancheng did not meet Du Qi in the study, but in the living room in person.

Although Li Jiancheng knew that Du Qi was young, only twelve or thirteen years old, Li Jiancheng was still surprised when he actually saw Du Qi.At the age of twelve or thirteen, it is really not easy to turn stones into gold, and even stir up the situation.

It would be impossible for him to do it.

Li Jiancheng looked amiable, and said, "Du Erlang, I have known about your deeds for a long time. Your tea shop and restaurant in Yongxingfang are famous far and wide. The tea roasted by your tea shop, I also like to use it. Especially the dishes made by your restaurant, although I have never eaten them, I have long known your name."

Du Qi said neither humble nor overbearing: "His Royal Highness loves you. In fact, whether it is a tea shop or a restaurant, there is actually nothing special about it. It is just because of its novelty that many people like it. After a while, this Tea and dishes are not uncommon, so the business will not be so prosperous."

Li Jiancheng said: "You are modest."

Du Qidao: "Boy, I'm just telling the truth, because the things sold in restaurants and tea shops are not rare things."

For a while, Li Jiancheng couldn't take this sentence.As soon as he turned his gaze, he landed on Wei Zheng, motioning for Wei Zheng to take over.Wei Zheng heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, so he said: "Du Erlang, His Royal Highness invited you to the East Palace today, there is no special meaning, that is to say about your Du family."

Du Qi asked: "Your Excellency?"

Judging from Wei Zheng's appearance, he is six points similar to Wei Shuyu, so Du Qi already has a rough judgment in his heart.But Du Qi didn't point it out, but asked instead.

Wei Zheng said: "I am Wei Zheng!"

When Du Qi heard this, he pretended to be surprised, and said, "It turns out that you are the crown prince Xima Wei Zheng. I heard that Wei Xima is the number one confidant of the crown prince in the Eastern Palace. His ambition is to assist the crown prince to become a wise king. Seeing him today is really an eye-opener."

Chapter 96 Wei Zheng's Conspiracy

Wei Zheng's plan

Wei Zheng raised his brows, a little surprised by Du Qi's words, he didn't think it was a compliment, but thought that Du Qi's words were words dedicated to flattery.He didn't say that he has any opportunity to hide the universe in his chest, or his ambition to rise above the clouds, let alone that he wants to assist Li Jiancheng to become a wise king.

Wei Zheng's expression was very indifferent, and he said calmly, "Du Erlang, I accept your good words."

After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is honest and courteous, and sets an example for his subjects. In the future, after His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be a wise king."

Du Qi said, "What Wei Xima said is true."

He didn't say much.

Li Jiancheng wants to be a generation of Mingjun, and His Majesty Li Er in the future will not agree.

Wei Zheng changed the subject, and said again: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness admires Du Erlang's management skills. It's extraordinary to have such ability at such a young age."

"However, doing business is a lowly way after all, and it is difficult to be elegant. It would be a pity if you have been doing business. Especially though you are young, no matter whether it is talent or learning,

Whether it is ability or character, it is the best choice. "

"His Royal Highness is a corporal who is respectful and respects talented people. He intends to promote you to rush into the East Palace and work in the East Palace."

Wei Zheng asked, "Du Erlang, are you willing?"

When Du Qi heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but instead showed a thoughtful expression.He knew what Wei Zheng meant, or Li Jiancheng's intention, which was to let him work in the East Palace so that he could be recruited.

Just imagine, Du Qidu is already a member of Prince Li Jiancheng.Once Li Jiancheng's East Palace needs money, Du Qi, as Li Jiancheng's person, can't care about it. He must obediently offer the money and obey Li Jiancheng's arrangements honestly.

Du Qi was unwilling.

He didn't refuse immediately, because a too straightforward refusal would easily make Li Jiancheng angry.Therefore, Du Qi pretended to have a thoughtful look, and after a long while, he shook his head and said, "Du Qi appreciates your highness's kindness. Your highness thinks highly of Du Qi, and it is an honor for Du Qi to promote Du Qi. The boy's official career has already been arranged, so for the time being, he cannot follow His Highness's arrangement."

Li Jiancheng asked, "What arrangement?"

Du Qi immediately replied: "My father hopes that the boy will take the regular imperial examination path and enter the officialdom step by step, instead of hoping to be promoted and used as an exception.

.His Royal Highness wants to promote the boy, but I'm afraid it won't work for the time being.However, for specific matters, it is not too late to discuss this matter after my father returns to Chang'an, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summons my father. "

This is a polite refusal!

It is impossible for him to become an official at will.

In particular, it is even more impossible to play for a mortal Li Jiancheng.Because once he works for Li Jiancheng, it means that he is an enemy of the Qin Palace, and he is standing on the opposite side of his father.
