I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi said: "Hou Junji, why are you being left behind? Isn't that simple?"

Hou Junji asked, "What do you mean?"

Du Qidao: "You were abandoned by the emperor and temporarily stayed in the Western Regions as a hostage. As for when you will be released, you have to wait until Datang arranges someone to replace you. But whether there will be someone to replace you is unknown. Everything , It depends on the emperor's decision."

Listening to Du Qi's words, Hou Junji knew that Du Qi's words were reserved, and asked further: "Prince Pingxi, the imperial court wants to arrange someone to come to the Western Regions as a hostage to replace me.

Du Qidao: "The hostage I mentioned is Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong. Of course, whether the emperor agrees, whether Changsun Wuji agrees, depends entirely on them."

In fact this has been promised.

It is already an agreement.

But Du Qi didn't tell Hou Junji that he intentionally made Hou Junji feel resentment towards Changsun Wuji and others.

After hearing the words, Hou Junji was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty will definitely arrange someone to replace me."

In his words, there was a lack of confidence, because he was Changsun Wuji's eldest son, and even Changsun Wugou's nephew, he was regarded as a relative of the emperor, even if Hou Junji was important, he couldn't compare.

Du Qi said lightly: "No matter what, you are now a good hostage."

"Go down."

Du Qi waved his hand.

Immediately, someone led Hou Junji back.

As Hou Junji walked, he was also pondering in his heart, thinking what if Changsun Wuji tried to delay it, or if Changsun Wuji didn't agree at all?Anyway, it's not good for him.

Hou Junji was anxious in his heart, but there was no way to solve it for the time being, because he became a hostage, and everything was beyond his control.

The army continued to retreat. When the news that Du Qi's army won without a fight and repelled the Tang army began to spread in Yizhou, the whole Yizhou boiled.

Du Qi has only one hundred thousand people.

There were more than that many Tang troops, there were more than [-] troops, but in the end Tang Jun just left.

This is Du Qi's strength.

Originally, Du Qi was fighting on the front line, but in fact, although the four places of Yizhou, Gaochang Prefecture, Yanqi Prefecture and Qiuci Prefecture were all under Du Qi's control, there were actually turbulent waves secretly, and there were many unfavorable news for Du Qi.

Many people think that Du Qi can't win.

Many people believe that the Western Regions will be in chaos.

Now these arguments are self-defeating, and everyone has seen how powerful Du Qi is.Relying on his own strength, he retreated all the Tang troops, making the four states of the Western Regions no longer have any problems.And when Du Qi withdrew, there had already been sentries to send letters to the states so that the states could know the news.

Du Qi didn't care about what happened in the states and led the army to retreat.Returning to Gaochang City, Gaochang Prefecture from the border of Yizhou, it has already entered the beginning of July, and the weather is even hotter.

The army returned to their respective teams, and Du Qi also returned to the palace. At this time, the child was nearly one year old.A one-year-old child can already walk if he walks earlier.

A little later, a little slower.

His son Du Ye couldn't walk for the time being, but he started talking and calling his parents.As for the daughter Du Yan, this little girl is stronger, she is not too picky about food, she can already walk, and she speaks quite clearly.

There are two more children in the family, and it is much more lively.

When it was almost afternoon, after the two children were asleep, Du Qicai went back to the study to sort out the gains and losses of this battle.This time the war with Li Shimin, although there is no real fight, in fact, because of this battle, the relationship with Datang has been severed, and there is only conflict between the two sides.

Du Qi is not afraid. Under the current situation, Du Qi still dares to fight Datang, let alone the future.When Li Shimin really stabilized the interior, and even stationed troops on the Tubo border, Du Qi's strength would be stronger at that time.

"Boom! Boom!"

Outside the study, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Jian said, "Your Highness, Mr. Wang Jiwang is asking to see you."

Du Qi said: "Please!"

The expression on his face was a bit surprised. Wang Ji had been in Chang'an all along, taking care of Chang'an Datang Academy.Now, why did he come to the Western Regions all of a sudden, and came to Gaochang City.Liu Jian went to deliver a message, and after a while, Wang Ji entered.

Wang Ji saluted and said, "Caomin Wang Ji, I have met King Pingxi."

Du Qi said: "Mr. Wang, please sit down."

After Wang Ji was seated, Du Qi took the initiative to say: "Mr. Wang has been teaching in Chang'an, why come to the Western Regions now? But what happened. As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Wang Ji said: "I came today to join His Highness, I beg His Highness to take you in."

Du Qi's face was full of astonishment.

Wang Ji came to defect, what's the matter.

Du Qi said: "Mr. Wang, you have been teaching and educating people in Chang'an Academy. Why did you suddenly come to the Western Regions to join me? If you want to work for me, sir, I can't ask for it. It's just the Tang Academy, sir, but what happened? .”

Wang Ji sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Since Hou Junji started the war with His Highness in the Western Regions, many people in the academy have left. Because these people are worried about getting involved with His Highness, they will be easily held accountable. Especially the prince a few days ago Jian Guo, there is news from the court, saying that everything about His Highness will be gradually banned, and His Highness's influence will be wiped out."

After a pause, Wang Ji continued: "Therefore, the academy has been more affected. Many scholars have left, and many teachers have also left. There are not many people left. Simply, I disbanded the Tang Academy and brought a few people to the Western Regions. .Now, I am here to join His Highness."

Du Qidao: "Mr. Wang and other people want to join me, and I welcome them. Although the Western Regions are vast in land, they are also rich in resources. However, the Western Regions lack talents. People brought by Mr. Wang are very good." .”

Wang Ji said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chapter 844 Recommend Talents

Recommended talents

Du Qidao: "Mr. Wang was joking. I should thank you. I should thank Mr. Wang. Nowadays, there is a shortage of talents everywhere in my place. I can't ask for talents."

Wang Jidao: "Your Highness, I brought some teachers with me when I came to the Western Regions. These are people from various schools. They taught knowledge in the academy before, and now they also hope to continue to preach and teach. I implore Your Highness, let They entered the University of Science and Technology. I came to the Western Regions to understand the situation of the University of Science and Technology, and this place is suitable for them."

Du Qi said, "No problem, I'll just give you a note."

Wang Ji continued: "In addition, I also brought two students, which are very good. They are not the heirs and students of the commercial system, but they come to the academy to study and do things in the academy by the way. One of them, One's name is Lai Ji, and the other's name is Ma Zhou, both of whom are extremely talented and learned."

After a pause, Wang Ji said: "Actually, with their abilities and talents, even if they become officials, there is no problem. They are willing to come when I come to the Western Regions, so they come with me."

When Du Qi heard the news, a smile appeared on his face.

Come on!

Ma Zhou!

These two people are both big bulls in history!The two people in history were both prime ministers who once ruled the world, and they were in charge of the court, and they were extremely powerful.

Today's Laiji is just 20 years old.As for Ma Zhou's age, he was a bit older, already approaching 30 years old in his twenties.It's just that compared to Laiji's family background, Lai's family is from a family of generals, but Ma Zhou is from a poor family, so everything depends on himself.

Du Qi asked, "Mr. Wang, where are they?"
