    ?

    At this time, Li Shimin was not wearing armor, but only a thin robe.  When Li Shimin walked, his steps were steady and his manner was extraordinary, which made people admire him.

    This is Li Shimin.

    When Du Qi heard Li Shimin's words, he shook his sleeves and walked forward.  Mo Ledo wanted to follow closely, but Du Qi waved his hand to stop him.

    Li Shimin can come forward alone, so can he.

    Du Qi is in his early twenties, and he has already changed a lot from the past.  In the past few years in the Western Regions, Du Qi has matured even more, but his appearance is sharp and angular, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Not only does he have the air of a superior, but he is also handsome.

    He was very conspicuous in a white robe.

    Du Qi stepped forward, and when he reached the center of the two armies, he sat down in front of Li Shimin.  On the ground, soldiers had already laid carpets first, and there was also a canopy to block the scorching sun, so sitting under the canopy didn't feel so hot, and there was a little bit of cool breeze blowing, which was quite pleasant.

    In addition, a desk is placed.

    There is a jug of wine on it.

    Du Qi did not sit down immediately, but stood still and said, "Your Majesty."

    Li Shimin said: "Sit!"

    Du Qi said his thanks and sat down.  No matter what the relationship between Du Qi and Li Shimin will be in the future, but at this moment, Du Qi still remembers the kindness of the past.  Without Li Shimin, it is actually impossible to have Du Qi today.

    Li Shimin picked up the jug, filled a jug of wine, took a drink first and said, "Erlang, please!"

    Du Qi picked up the wine bottle and drank it down.

    After drinking, Du Qidao: "Speaking of which, this is the first glass of wine I've ever had that was poured by His Majesty himself. It's just that His Majesty brought an army of more than 200,000 men here today, and I'm really worried!"

    Li Shimin laughed, stroked the beard under his chin and said: "You, Du Qi, detained my general Hou Junji and captured my army. Now you are nervous in front of me, saying that you are afraid. You are like this, I can't  Believe it!"

    Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, you know that I have always been an honest person and never lied. Your Majesty is a wise king, and he has the courage to be an emperor through the ages. Naturally, I am nervous in front of Your Majesty."

    Li Shimin said: "Since you are so worried, then return to Chang'an with me. You are still King Pingxi, the Du family is still the Du family, and your property is still your property."

    Du Qi shook his head, sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I can't go back. Your Majesty's eldest son, who is now the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, regards me as a thorn in his side and hates me to the bone."

    "Your Majesty's confidant, the eldest grandson Wuji, is jealous of me to the bone. Like the prince, he wants to kill me as soon as possible. What's more, the Du family's business has reached a peak stage."

    "If you can't maintain it at this stage, you will go downhill. In the Tang Dynasty, even if you are protected by His Majesty, you will eventually be surrounded by wolves one day."

    "I don't like to bet everything on others' kindness and forgiveness."

    "It's not my style."

    Du Qi continued: "Your Majesty should still remember that during the crusade against the Turks, the officials headed by Changsun Wuji said that the court lacked money and needed to gather money. In the end, the ministers said something to each other, which made my father agree to be transferred from the Du family.  money."

    "Your Majesty back then, as a king, couldn't refuse. Just like now, I have made a career in the Western Regions. Changsun Wuji once again proposed to set up an envoy of the Anxi Protectorate to control the Western Regions, and His Majesty agreed.  "

    "Originally, His Majesty promised that as long as the territory outside of Guazhou in the Western Regions was conquered by me, it would belong to me, and it would be my feudal country, and I would be in charge of all the power."

    "But His Majesty finally set up the Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate of Anxi, and arranged for Gao Shilian to come."

    "why?"

    "Because your majesty is the emperor and the king of the Tang Dynasty. As a king, there can be no existence that cannot be controlled, so even though your majesty knew that Changsun Wuji's proposal would cause a series of problems, in the end your majesty chose to agree.  "

    Du Qi said: "It is because of His Majesty's status that I have come to this step step by step."

    Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Erlang, have you ever considered taking a step back. If you let Gao Shilian serve as Jiedushi, you would not have developed to this point."

    Du Qi laughed.

    In the laughter, there was even a hint of disdain.

    Li Shimin said: "What are you laughing at?"

    Du Qi said lightly: "Your Majesty, the reason why I laugh is because Your Majesty is in charge of a country.??Emperor, you actually said such words to comfort me.  Or rather, fool me.  "

    "Before, there was no Anxi Dufu Jiedushi. I accepted it. It was my concession to the court."

    "Now, I have become the Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate of Anxi, and the imperial court dismissed me from office, and arranged for Gao Shilian to serve as the Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate of Anxi, and Hou Junji led an army of 50,000 troops stationed in Guazhou."

    "I took another step back and accepted this arrangement. In the next step, I am afraid that everything in my hands will be deprived, and I will fall into the abyss step by step. Boiling the frog in warm water is nothing more than that."

    Du Qi's face became more sharp, and he said aggressively: "Your Majesty, I used to want to live a little lazy life. After all, my father is the prime minister of the court, and the Du family's wealth is unparalleled. I just need to be a dandy.  .¡±

    "What I want is actually very simple."

    "But people are good at being bullied. If you are a sweet pastry, you will be coveted by countless people, you will be stared at by countless people, and you will be regarded as fish on the chopping board. In desperation, I can only be myself.  Guaranteed, we can only seek our own development and no longer be bullied by others.¡±

    Du Qi said: "All of my present, in the final analysis, is still created by Your Majesty."

    Li Shimin murmured: "I really caused everything today?"

    "yes!"

    Du Qi answered decisively.

    Facing Li Shimin, even though Du Qi was under tremendous pressure, Du Qi never backed down.  Even though he is only King Pingxi granted by the emperor, Du Qi is not afraid.

    Li Shimin stared at Du Qi, his eyes gradually changed, became sharper than ever before, and said: "Du Qi, Du Qi, you have to think carefully, once you start a war with me, you may die."

    Du Qi smiled, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this battle cannot be fought. Unless, Your Majesty really witnessed the disintegration of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why I insist on stationing troops at the border is to wait for His Majesty to come. Because  I have something to say to His Majesty in person. After talking to His Majesty today, I don¡¯t know how many years of the monkey, I have the opportunity to speak to Your Majesty again.¡±

    Li Shimin smiled and said: "Du Qi, I can order an attack immediately. You said that this battle cannot be fought, but in fact it is too simple to fight this battle. One order will trigger a war."

    Du Qi shook his robe and said: "Your Majesty's main thoughts are now on me. But has Your Majesty ever arranged for someone to pay attention to the situation in Tubo?"

    Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat.

    The situation in Tubo.

    What situation can there be in Tubo?

    Li Shimin twisted his buttocks, suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart, and looked around.  In the end, Li Shimin's gaze focused on Du Qi and asked, "Du Erlang, what does this battle have to do with Tubo?"

    Du Qi said with a smile: "Of course it is related, and it has a lot to do with it."

    Li Shimin said: "I would like to hear the details."

    Du Qi picked up the jug on his own and poured himself a glass of wine.  Drinking wine on a hot day can be regarded as quenching thirst.  After drinking a glass of wine, he said: "Your Majesty, there was turmoil in Tubo this year. When Tubo's Zanplanangri Songtsan was about to die of illness, he clashed with the old nobleman Gongga and started a large-scale war. Because I sent  People interfered and supported Langri Songtsan's uncle Gongga, so that during the Tubo civil war, Gongga eliminated Langri Songtsan and Songtsen Gampo and became Tubo Zanpu."

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Today's Tubo owes me favors, and they don't dare to provoke me, so I ordered to go down together, Tubo Zanpu Gongga has led the army to the border. As long as I start a war with His Majesty  , Gongga will take advantage of the fire to loot.¡±

    Li Shimin's expression changed again and again.

    I didn't expect Du Qi to have such a trick, which was not considered by the court officials.

    This has become a big killer.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
