I'm a marquis in Datang

After Du Qi lifted his robe and sat down, he went straight to the point and said, "Prince, I have three things to do when I come this time."

Li Shimin said: "Say!"

Du Qidao: "The first thing I do when I come here is that I hope to resign from the position of bad commander, and ask the prince to choose another wise man."

"what?"

Even Li Shimin was used to big storms, Du Qi's words still surprised Li Shimin.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Erlang, you have rewarded and promoted everyone else because of this crown prince. You are the only one who only gave titles and casual officials, so you are dissatisfied, so you deliberately Come to resign?"

The relationship between him and Du Qi is extraordinary.

It can be said that Li Shimin's success in the uprising was inseparable from Du Qi's help.Under such a premise, Li Shimin was a little caught off guard when Du Qi suddenly wanted to resign from office.

That's why Li Shimin said this.

It's almost heartbreaking.

No circles.

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Prince, you know my boy. Actually, I don't have much ambition for power, so being an official is not important to me."

"Because I don't like the intrigue between the court and the Chinese government."

"I'm not afraid of struggle, but I don't like it. I'm not afraid of intrigue, but I don't like intrigue for power."

"When you enter the imperial court, you cannot avoid customs."

Du Qi talked eloquently, and said: "In fact, everyone knows about this matter. So I really don't have much to do with being an official. Your Majesty bestowed me with a loose official and title, which is actually exactly what I want."

"I like to have a title and a status like this, and I don't have to do things just because I have a position. What I wish, in fact, is more to do my own things, such as earn some money, and then do something that is beneficial to Datang. "

"If you live in a high temple, you worry about its people; if you live far away, you worry about its ruler. Even if a minister is outside the court, in fact, there are many things to do, such as opening a bookstore, or opening a restaurant, or even And today's cement, I hope that the little things I do can promote the progress of Datang and benefit more people in Datang."

"At the same time, I can also make money."

"After all, it's what I want to be a dude with status and status, to be relaxed and at ease. That's why I specifically resigned from being handsome."

Du Qi said: "This is a sincere statement from the minister, and it is not based on retreat. I implore the prince to learn from it."

"Ugh…"

Li Shimin sighed.

He believed in Du Qi.

Because Du Qi didn't need to lie, and there was no need to go around in circles.

Li Shimin wanted to suppress Du Qi, but unexpectedly, Du Qi simply didn't want to be an official.On the contrary, Li Shimin was not used to such a situation.

Human beings have such a psychology.

Li Shimin said: "Erlang, you are so chic. But this prince cannot live without you!"

Du Qidao: "What orders does the crown prince have? With an order, Du Qi will arrive immediately. Although Du Qi is away,

Anyway, he is also the founding county magistrate of the court, which is not difficult. "

No matter how he resigns, Du Qi will not lose money.

The reason is very simple, Du Ruhui is still in the Du family.As long as Du Ruhui is around, the Du family's lintel will always be prominent, so there is no need for Du Qi to work hard to do things in the court.

His voluntary resignation will make Li Shimin feel guilty and think he owes Du Qi.

This is advancing by retreating.

Du Qi used retreat as an advancement instead of being an official, just to relax for himself, and to make Li Shimin feel that he had treated Du Qi badly.

That's it.

After Li Shimin heard it, he was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, your request is approved by the Crown Prince. But I have something to do here, you must come here immediately."

Du Qidao: "If there is a war, the call must be returned."

In a word, it was Du Qi's attitude.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about the second thing."

Du Qi took out the token of Prince Qin's Mansion given by Li Shimin in the past from his sleeve, and said: "Now that the crown prince is in charge of the East Palace, this token is useless. The token of Prince Qin's Mansion belongs to the original owner."

Li Shimin nodded.

The eunuch beside him stepped forward to take the token of King Qin's Mansion.

Li Shimin rubbed the token in his hand, made up his mind, and said, "What about the third thing?"

Du Qi took out the token from his sleeve again, which was the token of Ruzhen's presence representing Li Yuan.Du Qi said: "This is the token given by His Majesty. If I come here in person, it represents His Majesty. Now that the crown prince is in charge of the country, I will hand in this token intact."

When Li Shimin heard it, he smiled, shook his head and said, "If I come here in person, there is no need to hand in the token, just keep it and continue to use it. My place has already set an auspicious day."

"On September [-]rd, my father will issue an edict to abdicate and pass it on to me. On September [-]th, I will first ascend the throne in the East Palace.

In order to show respect to the father.Wait for the follow-up, and then move into the imperial city. "

"This token, you keep it."

Li Shimin said: "When the father is here, this token represents the father. After the father is enthroned, this token represents me. Holding the token is like holding my edict."

"Thank you prince!"

After hearing this, Du Qi said: "His Royal Highness, I am not polite. You also know that I have never been polite, and I will cherish this token carefully."

When Li Shimin heard Du Qi's words and saw Du Qi's expression, he also showed a smile on his face, and said, "Now I've followed you!"

Wish, you tell me, what do you plan to do next? "

"School!"

Du Qi answered firmly.

Li Shimin said: "I remember a few years ago, Chang'an Datang Academy was your academy, why is it still running a school now?"

Du Qi shook his head and said, "This is Datang Academy. Although under the auspices of Wang Ji, the development is not bad. But all of this is too slow and needs continuous improvement, so now we need to promote education."

Li Shimin said: "I support you."

"Thank you prince!"
