I'm a marquis in Datang

Things are finally done.

According to the previous arrangement, Du Qi specially asked people to set up checkpoints on the official road leading to Chang'an in Lantian County, so that

Tolls were collected, while Du Qi went to the palace again to report to Li Yuan that the construction of the road had been completed.

Now that the road has been repaired, it's time for Du Qi to leave.

After all, Du Qi has been in Chang'an for half a year because of road construction.Du Qi went into the palace, saw Li Yuan, and told him about the completion of the road construction.

After reporting on the road construction, Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, the road has been completed. The minister's affairs in Chang'an have been completed. So I plan to set off northward to go to Yanmen. After all, my brothers have already married in Yanmen, but still I didn’t go and take a look, so I should go back and take a look.”

Chapter 536

Night talk

Li Yuan heard Du Qi's words, and said: "You are true, your brother got married, so you should go north to attend. But you did not participate because of business, and it was also caused by me. I will make up for you for this matter."

Du Qidao: "Your Majesty has broken the evil minister. The road construction was originally ordered by the boy. It was not caused by His Majesty. Speaking of it, it was because the boy didn't make arrangements in time, which led to him not attending brother's wedding."

Li Yuandao: "No matter what, it's also due to business."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan took out a bright yellow edict, picked up the pen and put it down, quickly wrote an edict, and then printed it

stamp.After the ink blots dried up, Li Yuan closed his eyes and said, "This imperial edict is for you, and you can send it to your elder brother in the north."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Du Qi heard it, he knew it must be a good thing.

Li Yuan's compensation must not be bad.

After Du Qi took it, he didn't check it, so he put it in his sleeve.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Erlang, don't take a look."

Du Qi looked determined, and said: "Your Majesty has always been kind to the Du family, and the imperial edict given to my brother is definitely not the same.

Poor, so, nothing to see. "

Seeing this, Li Yuan stroked his beard and said, "Your brother has never been an official. But your brother's talent and learning are obvious to all, and he is also famous. So I let him go to Mayi to serve as Mayi county magistrate."

"Serving as the county magistrate in Bian County is a test, but it is also an opportunity."

"With Gao Manzheng in Shuozhou, I believe your brother's safety is safe. I hope that the development of Mayi can become an extremely prosperous place like Yanmen in Daizhou."

Li Yuan talked about the arrangement for Du Gou.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Du Qi immediately thanked him upon hearing this.

You know, Mayi is also a county, a strategically important town.The county magistrate of such a place is also a fifth-rank official, so Du Gou's appointment as the county magistrate can be said to be promoted and appointed.

Li Yuan said: "Go, I won't keep you."

Du Qi said: "I will arrange the affairs of Chang'an first, and arrange many business matters properly. In the morning of tomorrow, I will set off for Yanmen."

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "The weather is getting colder, Your Majesty also needs to pay attention to his body."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "I know."

Du Qi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what was the effect of the old ginseng presented by the minister last year?"

Li Yuan said: "It's not bad."

The old ginseng presented by Du Qi last year had already been used up, and it was mainly used to make soup for Li Yuan.For an old man like Li Yuan, this kind of food tonic is more gentle.

Du Qidao: "Now that the weather is getting colder, this time I will go north, I will arrange for people to collect some old ginseng. At that time, I will arrange for someone to bring it back to His Majesty. In the cold winter, Your Majesty will often use old ginseng to make soup to recuperate the body. It’s good anyway, at least, in winter, you won’t be particularly afraid of the cold.”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Erlang, you have a heart."

Xiao Li stood aside, admiring in his heart.

Du Qi and Li Yuan's way of getting along is now extremely fixed. It is Du Qi who treats Li Yuan as an elder and has no fear in front of Li Yuan.On the contrary, it made Li Yuan feel that Du Qi was very good, so Li Yuan regarded Du Qi very highly.Not only because of Du Qi's ability, but also because of Du Qi's ability to make Li Yuan relax.

With the superposition of the two, no one can compare to Du Qi.

This is Du Qi's unique grace.

Du Qi stood up, saluted Li Yuan respectfully, then turned and left.

After Du Qi left the palace, he went straight to the tea shop.He called Cai Youde over and ordered Cai Youde to continue

Responsible for Chang'an business affairs.However, Cai Youde has no control over the bank, after all, this is an independent matter.

Du Qi talked about leaving, and asked some other arrangements, and finally left.He left the tea shop, went to Nancheng to meet Zhang Jingping, and had a conversation with Zhang Jingping.

Du Qi finally returned to the mansion.

In the afternoon, Du Qi met with Huang Sheng and said something about the bank's attention.

It's getting late.

After nightfall, Du Qi quietly left Du's house and went to Prince Qin's mansion.He entered through the back door of Prince Qin's Mansion, saw Li Shimin in the study, and sat down at the back after saluting.

Li Shimin said: "Erlang came tonight, but what happened?"

Du Qidao: "Your Highness, the road from Chang'an to Lantian County has been completely built. Now the road has begun to pass, so I have already arranged all the major events in Chang'an. Next, I am going to go north."

Li Shimin sighed, "Erlang, if you go to Daizhou, I'm afraid I'm going to prepare for a hard life again."

Since the end of last year, Du Qi returned to Chang'an.

Donggong was suppressed.

Li Shimin's life is very free and easy.

After more than half a year of good life, but now Du Qi is going north again, once Du Qi leaves, the crown prince's strength will be very fast

It will recover, and when the power of the East Palace is restored, Li Shimin will be suppressed everywhere again.

This is what Li Shimin does not want to see.

Du Qi smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, the heavens will send great missions to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, toil their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies... Your Highness is a person who wants to do great things. People like His Highness are bestowed by heaven. It is impossible to succeed without going through a lot of hardships. I believe His Highness knows all these principles. Now His Highness, you only need to concentrate on developing your strength and wait for the right time."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "This king knows these truths. The world is gradually calming down, the situation is gradually stabilizing, and my focus is gradually shifting from the battlefield to the court. I still know what to do."

Du Qidao: "It's good that Your Highness understands."
