I'm a marquis in Datang

But he actually said it.

Du Qi watched Li Yuanji's leaving back, and didn't care what Li Yuanji thought.

Li Yuanji apologized, even if it solved the problem again.It's getting late now, so Du Qi read the manuscript and went to bed to rest.Early the next morning, Du Qi woke up and took a shower. He was going out today to meet Wang Ji at Shanyang Lake outside Chang'an City, and persuade Wang Ji to leave the mountain.

After Du Qi had breakfast, he took a carriage out of the city.

In the carriage, there are some gifts.

The carriage went all the way to the southeast outside Chang'an City. The distance of more than 30 miles was not long or short.

Under normal circumstances, it does not take half a day to travel by horse-drawn carriage. Because of the cold weather and heavy snowfall, many places on the road are closed and go round and round.

Therefore, Du Qi arrived at the place where Wang Ji lived in Shanyang Lake at noon.

This back and forth, time is long.

Entering the palace is definitely impossible.

So Du Qi had already arranged for someone to hand over the manuscript to Xiao Li, and asked Xiao Li to forward it on his behalf.

Du Qi also explained the reason.

Du Qi believed that Li Yuan would not blame him.

Du Qi got out of the carriage, wearing a down jacket, and strode forward.When he arrived outside Wang Ji's house, he took off his down jacket and put on a cloak.

Wang Ji's house is a courtyard with earthen walls.It's freezing cold now, and the houses built with earthen walls are very cold. Even with a brazier, it is difficult to completely dispel the chill.

Liu Jian stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, a young man in his early twenties came out and opened the door.His clothes were very simple, no cotton or fur robes, just coarse linen clothes, which wrapped him very thickly.

When the young man saw the person coming, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Liu Jian handed over the name badge and said, "We are here to visit Mr. Wang Ji Wang, please inform me."

"Wait!"

The young man took the name card and turned to notify.

Liu Jian said: "Young master, let me tell you that in your capacity, it is easy to meet anyone. You can directly send someone to inform you, it is rare for you to run out and suffer from the cold. In the cold weather, you should pay attention to your bones .”

Du Qi said: "It's okay, I'm fine."

After a while, the young man came out and said, "Follow me!"

Du Qi nodded and led the people in.

When he came to the location of the hall, Du Qi entered directly, while Liu Jian and Mo Ledo waited at the door.After all, this is Du Qi's visit, so the rules still need to be followed.

Du Qi entered the house and saw Wang Ji directly above him.Today's Wang Ji is in his early thirties, with splayed eyebrows, sharp eyebrows, and piercing eyes.

The clothes on his body are not gorgeous.

It's ordinary clothes.

A fur robe with white fur was worn outside to keep warm.

This is Wang Ji.

After seeing Du Qi, Wang Ji raised his brows, and a trace of shock flashed across his handsome face.Everyone knows about Du Qi in Chang'an, countless people know about it.

Not only because of Du Qi's many properties, but also because of Du Qi's mission to the Turks in the north and won a big victory for the Tang Dynasty.

This is why Du Qi is widely known.

Du Qi stood still, cupped his hands and said, "Chang'an Du Qi, meet Mr. Wang."

Wang Ji said: "Young Master Du, you are too polite. In front of Young Master Du, I dare not address you as Mr. Young Master Du is younger than me. But Young Master Du's poems, Young Master Du's novels, and Young Master Du's establishment for the Tang Dynasty His achievements are all first-class. Mr. Du's achievements at such a young age are beyond the reach of many people in a lifetime."

Du Qidao: "Mr. Wang is absurd."

Wang Ji is an authentic scholar, as long as he is a scholar, he pays attention to family governance and world peace.The problem is that although Wang Ji is good at reading, in fact, Wang Ji knows nothing about politics and has no talent at all.

Such a person can't deal with the intrigues in the court and the treacherous Bo Yun in the officialdom.Therefore, Wang Ji admired and appreciated Du Qineng's meritorious service.

Wang Ji said: "Young Master Du is here today, what's the matter?"

Du Qidao: "Mr. Wang, I came to Shanyang Lake to visit Mr. Wang today with only one purpose, to ask Mr. Wang to come out and help me. Because I am going to open a restaurant in Chang'an.

A private school to teach people knowledge. "

Hearing this, Wang Ji shook his head: "I don't need me to set up a private school to impart knowledge. To accomplish this, Mr. Du just needs to arrange other people. Besides, Mr. Du should know that my nature is straight and straightforward. If you go, you will offend people."

With a smile on Du Qi's face, he said without arrogance or impatience: "Mr. Wang, forgive me. Your temperament is indeed incomparable in the officialdom, because people in the officialdom don't speak the right words, and many of them have the city in their hearts. of."

"So, it's not for you."

"But the school is different."

"In the school, what is needed is Mr. Wang, who dares to speak out. If knowledge is fake, if knowledge is concerned about human relations, then this knowledge will no longer be knowledge."

Du Qidao: "Such knowledge is not worth learning."

"well said!"

After Wang Ji heard it, he gave a thumbs up and praised, with an expression of approval on his face.

Du Qi's words won Wang Ji's approval.

Chapter 342 Persuading Wang Ji

Persuade Wang Ji

Although Wang Ji is in his 30s, he has a simple temperament.It is easy to feel close to what you like.He will not show any kindness to people he does not like.

Du Qi's words won Wang Ji's approval, so he had a good impression on Wang Ji.

Wang Ji continued: "Du Qi, what you said just now is very good, but I don't want to come out to do things again. At home, I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I even use the sky as my bed and the earth as my bed. I live in a chic and comfortable way. If I ask for help, I won’t be targeted, so why should I go outside to do something?”

Du Qidao: "Mr. Wang, with all due respect, it's not that you don't want to do things. The reason why you do this is actually what you said just now. You don't ask for help and you don't get targeted. You are worried that once you go out, you will fall into a whirlpool and get into trouble."

"That's what it means."

Wang Ji raised his head, looked straight at Du Qi, and said, "I don't ask for anything. I read books, write and write at home, eat and drink at home, and live a very good life. Why do I need to go out and cause trouble?"

He doesn't like being outside.
