I'm a marquis in Datang

If Li Shimin didn't say anything, no matter how much he asked, it would be useless.

"call!"

After a long while, Li Shimin sighed.

When Changsun Wugou heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Your Majesty, what troublesome things happened."

Li Shimin said: "It's not a troublesome thing, it just involves Du Erlang."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "I heard from the palace people that Du Erlang and Li Jing returned triumphantly together. Du Erlang also strategized in this battle and made great achievements. Now that he has made great achievements, what is your majesty doing?" What about the one who sighed?"

Li Shimin said: "Du Erlang, this kid, took the initiative to ask to go to the Western Regions, saying that he wanted to expand trade routes and re-open the Silk Road. I know, this kid must

It was because the country had just been established and the court needed money, so he was asked to spend more than a million yuan. "

"Although I didn't come forward at the time, Du Ruhui took the initiative to mention it."

"However, it is also equivalent to my acquiescence."

"Du Erlang, this kid, has made great contributions to me, and he used to help me with all his strength regardless of reward. But after I ascended the throne, I only gave Du Erlang a small amount of rewards in terms of merit. After all, The so-called titles and scattered officials are not worth mentioning and have little practical value."

"And, in the end, he also paid for Li Jing's Northern Expedition to the Turks."

"This kid, I'm not happy."

Li Shimin said: "However, he still went out to fight, and he conscientiously completed the crusade against the Turks. Now he is going to the Western Regions to get rid of the predicament in the court, because he is suppressed everywhere here."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Erlang is a smart child. I believe that he can understand His Majesty's difficulties. After all, His Majesty also loves him."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Of course he can understand, so apart from money, he also went to the Western Regions to sweep up the unstable situation for the Tang Dynasty, but the Western Regions did not restrict him, so he was able to fulfill the principles of the monarch and his ministers. He also took care of his own heart. This kid is indeed smart. Alas, I owe him."

Changsun Wugou said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this, Du Erlang can understand you.

"

Li Shimin said: "I hope so."

Changsun Wugou changed the subject and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, since Du Erlang asked to go to the Western Regions, do you agree?"

There was a smile on Li Shimin's face, and he said seriously: "Doesn't he want to go to the Western Regions? I will give him a chance. Therefore, I will make him the King of Pingxi and let him go to the Western Regions. As long as he can take the land of the Western Regions, he will seal the country. Of course, Shazhou, Guazhou and Suzhou must be wiped out so that I can garrison troops. So now, this kid's wish has been fulfilled. "

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Your Majesty is wise, in this way, Du Erlang has nothing to say. In his heart, he might still be grateful to His Majesty. So, Your Majesty, there is no need to feel guilty. But everybody knows it."

Li Shimin said: "Really?"

He really holds Du Qi in high regard.

He also treats Du Qi as his son and nephew.

The eldest grandson Wugou nodded and said, "Of course it is true. If you ask anyone about this matter, it must be the result. After all, Du Erlang could not have achieved what he is today without His Majesty's support."

When Li Shimin heard this, he burst out laughing.

A more heroic look appeared on his face.

Quite proud.

In fact, Du Qi's development is indeed the result of Li Shimin's support. No matter what it is, as long as it is Du Qi's industry, Li Shimin will give him preferential treatment as much as possible, which is why he has the current situation.

Seeing Li Shimin laughing heartily, Changsun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, a eunuch entered.

This is Li Shimin's personal eunuch, who has been by Li Shimin's side all the time. He came to Li Shimin's side, said something in a low voice, and then turned and retreated.

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Your Majesty, since there are government affairs, you should hurry up."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "What kind of government affairs are there? It's just that after Du Qi left the main hall, he went to the royal father's bedroom."

The eldest grandson Wugou said with a smile: "Your Majesty values ​​Du Qi and cares about Du Qi, and so does the father. The father also treats Du Erlang as a grandson."

Li Shimin said: "Du Qi is about to leave, and it is normal for my father to call Erlang over. Speaking of which, after Du Erlang leaves, I am afraid that my father's place will be deserted. In the past, when Du Erlang was in Chang'an, he often went to the palace to see him." Father, let me explain father so that father doesn't get into the horns, and the father-son relationship between me and father is quite harmonious. Now that Du Qi has left, this layer of bond is missing."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Du Erlang has indeed played a great role in the relationship between His Majesty and Father."

For Du Qi, whether it is Li Shimin or the eldest grandson Wugou, they are all very appreciative.

It is treated as a junior.

Zhangsun Wugou suddenly said: "Your Majesty, my concubine has an idea."

Li Shimin said: "Say!"

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "Du Erlang is a talented person. Chengqian is the crown prince appointed by His Majesty, so he must not leave Chang'an. But Qingque is different. This kid is six or seven years old. Yes, quite clever. My plan is to simply let Qing Que defeat Du Qi as a teacher, and let him and Du Qi go to the Western Regions, which can be regarded as an experience."

Qingque is Li Tai's nickname.

Li Tai is Li Shimin's fourth son and the second son born to his grandson Wugou.

Li Chengqian is the eldest son and the prince. Li Shimin has strict requirements on Li Chengqian, but he loves Li Tai very much.Especially when Li Tai was six or seven years old, he was extremely intelligent and deeply loved by Li Shimin.

Li Shimin shook his head when he heard the elder grandson Wugou's words, and said, "Guanyin Maid, the land in the Western Regions is extremely chaotic. Especially Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou and other places, which appear to belong to the Tang Dynasty, are actually self-sustaining. Du Erlang's going is equivalent to It's land reclamation. Let Qingque follow

It's not right, it's not right, so Qingque didn't go, and let him stay in Chang'an.For the time being, let's forget about apprenticeship. "

Seeing this, Changsun Wugou didn't say much, but in his heart, he still felt that although Du Qi was young, he was really smart, had a big picture, had skills, and was a good person.

If she has another child, she must take Du Qi as her teacher.

The eldest grandson Wugou changed the subject and talked about other things with Li Shimin. The husband and wife talked and laughed happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, and gradually the atmosphere became more charming, and everyone in the room was happy.

Chapter 569 Homecoming

Home

Du Qi went out of the palace to leave Li Yuan's palace. When he walked out of the imperial city, he saw another person standing outside the city under the night light, and his thin back stretched out.

This is none other than Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui did not leave after leaving the palace, but waited for Du Qi.

"Father!"

Du Qi walked up.

"Go, go home."

Du Ruhui greeted, took Du Qi into the carriage, and walked back.
