    ?

    Li Shimin's eyes gradually became deep and cold, and he said: "Du Qi, you have to be clear that relying on the power of the Tubo people is not a good thing. If because of you, countless people in the Tang Dynasty were slaughtered by the Tubo people, how can you bear it?"  ?¡±

    After hearing this, Du Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I once heard someone say something like this. If there are people who haven't figured out the reason of the matter, they will come to persuade you to be generous. Then, you must stay away from this situation."  Stay away from people, because it is easy to accidentally injure you when struck by lightning. To change this statement, it is to replace magnanimity with concern for the country and the people. When you meet someone who says you are concerned about the country and the people, and you don¡¯t care about other things, just say  Worrying about the country and the people, thinking about the life and death of the people, such people are terrifying, you should stay away from them. It is easy to be struck by lightning if you are next to such people."

    Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Du Qi, you are presumptuous."

    He no longer called Du Qi and Du Erlang at this time. What Du Qi said just now was referring to Sang and Huai's scolding.

    Du Qi shrugged and continued: "I have already started a war with His Majesty, what could be more presumptuous? Speaking of which, Your Majesty is now willing to call in an army to attack me in order to crusade against me. Doesn't this cause casualties?  , wouldn¡¯t it lead to the destruction of countless people¡¯s homes?¡±

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "If Your Majesty has a benevolent heart, it would be better if you just retreat now, and Tubo also retreats, and everything is safe and sound. The source of the matter does not lie in what I, Du Qi, do.  In the territory of Tang Dynasty, there was no attack on Tang Dynasty, the cause of the incident lies in Your Majesty, you are the one who wants to attack me."

    "As for Tubo, my consistent point of view is that people of our race must have different hearts."

    "Of course I know that the Tubo people stationed troops on the border, and it is easy to hurt the people after they invaded the Tang Dynasty. But whether Tubo will enter the army does not depend on what I want, but on what decision His Majesty makes."

    Du Qi continued: "If Your Majesty really wants to go to war, Tubo will naturally attack. Instead of blaming me, Your Majesty might as well withdraw the troops by himself. This is the most fundamental thing."

    Li Shimin said: "Du Erlang, what a sharp mouth! Back then, you were so brilliant that you even bewitched the Supreme Emperor, and you still haven't changed a bit now."

    Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, I have always denied the fact that I have a strong mouth. I am not relying on my mouth to play tricks. I have always stated the facts and explained a basic truth. Take the case of the Tibetans.  In other words, because the beginning of the matter is with His Majesty, not what I ordered Tubo to do."

    Li Shimin stared at Du Qi, his eyes were unprecedentedly sharp.

    Du Qi responded with a chuckle, he now has enough cards to fight Li Shimin.  Because Li Shimin is different from Du Qi.  Li Shimin's family has a great career, but he dare not put all his eggs in one basket.

    If it was Yang Guang, perhaps once he encountered a provocation, Yang Guang would not care about other things, and he would do it first.

    Li Shimin is different. Li Shimin is a promising monarch who thinks more.  Especially when Du Qi is not weak, it is even more impossible for Li Shimin to start a war at will.

    After a long time, Li Shimin said, "Du Qi, I really underestimated you."

    Du Qi smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty underestimates me, but I dare not underestimate you. Do the math, the former emperor is now the Supreme Emperor. He underestimated you, so that now he stays in the deep palace all day doing nothing.  "

    "The former prince Li Jiancheng underestimated you, and now the grass on his grave is probably ten feet high; the former Turkic underestimated you, but he was destroyed by you. In short, underestimating your majesty is self-destruction."

    Du Qi said: "I have never dared to underestimate Your Majesty, so I can only do my best. So if His Majesty really wants to go to war, maybe he will tell Datang La that the situation is the beginning of a large-scale war again."

    Li Shimin said seriously: "You are threatening me."

    Du Qi looked more determined, and said: "Your Majesty can be understood as a threat, and it can also be understood as me telling the truth. Because under the current circumstances, Your Majesty has no choice at all."

    "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, what is the conflict between you and me?"

    "Not really."

    "I have always been grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and regarded Datang as the suzerain state. So I have been expanding westward, wanting to fight out of the Western Regions, going to Tianzhu, and going further to Persia. What's more, in the territory of Datang, there are still  With my family, and my parents and brothers, how could I attack Datang?"

    "That is impossible!"

    Du Qi said: "What I can guarantee is that if His Majesty does not take the initiative to attack me, then at least I will not attack Datang during His Majesty's lifetime, and the two sides will live in peace."

    "In addition, Your Majesty?Speaking of being in charge of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, His Majesty still has too many things to conquer around him.  For example, Tubo, Nanzhao Kingdom in the south, Goguryeo in the north, and Wa Kingdom in the southeast, all of which His Majesty wants to conquer.  "

    "I'm not saying that it is a great achievement for His Majesty to conquer all these countries and complete the development of Lingnan. So, in fact, there is no real conflict or contradiction between me and Your Majesty."

    Du Qi said: "It's a pity that Your Majesty listened to the slander and sent troops to attack me, and all this happened today."

    Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, with a stern expression, and suddenly laughed again.

    "What a Du Qi, what a sharp mouth."

    Li Shimin spoke.

    At this time, Li Shimin had a smile on his face.  However, Li Shimin continued with a solemn expression, "Du Qi, do you dare to swear that you will not invade the Tang Dynasty for the rest of your life?"

    Du Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the oath I can make is that I will not take the initiative to attack Datang in my life. I will not be attacked if no one offends me. If Datang wants to attack me, it will be like now. I will be in the Western Regions  However, His Majesty is here to pick peaches and intends to deal with me, so I can't sit still. Your Majesty, you say no."

    Li Shimin said: "Du Qi, you are really not simple. I regret it now, I regret letting you come to the Western Regions. I didn't expect to come to the Western Regions this time, but to return to the mountain."

    Du Qidao: "Even if Your Majesty did not agree at the beginning, I still have other ways to come to the Western Regions. I can only say that Your Majesty listened to Changsun Wuji's words and released the beast in my heart. If His Majesty hadn't listened to Changsun Wuji and didn't target my Du family,  I wouldn¡¯t have come to the Western Regions to run my business.¡±

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Your Majesty, Changsun Wuji is good, but he lacks the heart of a house minister, and he doesn't have the structure and loyalty of his father. People like Changsun Wuji are based on family and personal interests.  First."

    Li Shimin said: "You don't need to say much about Changsun Wuji, I have my own plans." After a pause, Li Shimin said: "Du Qi, I don't need to attack the Western Regions, but I have conditions."

    "impossible!"

    Du Qi didn't even want to refuse directly.

    Li Shimin said: "My conditions have not been put forward yet. Now you are directly refusing. Du Qi, you are refusing too quickly."

    Du Qidao: "Your Majesty's conditions, needless to say, I can roughly guess one or two."

    Li Shimin said: "Let's listen to it."

    With a smile on the corner of Du Qi's mouth, he said: "The first condition is to ask for weapons, which are the three types of weapons in my hand, mines, grenades and gunpowder, right?"

    After Li Shimin murmured the names of mines, grenades and gunpowder, he said, "Du Qi, you guessed right. As long as you hand over these three weapons, I can also develop them in Datang, and I can retreat."

    Du Qi said, "It's absolutely impossible."

    For Du Qi, today's landmines, grenades and other weapons are equivalent to the nuclear weapons of later generations.  In this era of cold weapons, gunpowder, grenades and landmines are so lethal and useful that it is impossible for Du Qi to hand them over to Li Shimin directly.

    Hand it over, it's an enemy.
