I'm a marquis in Datang

He flicked his sleeves and stepped in.

Laiji was born in a family of generals. His ancestor was Zhonglang Future She of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his father was General Zuoyiwei of the Sui Dynasty.

Nu'er, logically speaking, is also a prominent family.It's just that when Jiangdu changed, Yang Guang was killed, and Lai Hu'er fought to the end. Finally, after Lai Hu'er died in battle, it affected the people in the Lai family. was also slaughtered.

In the end, because Laiji and Eleventh Brother Laiheng were young and not in the house, they escaped the catastrophe.

It is also because Lai's family was destroyed, his family was in decline, and Laiji was exiled in all directions, so that he was displaced, saw too many joys and sorrows, and knew more about the sufferings of the world.

It is precisely because of this that Laiji is now mature in his twenties.

Lai Ji walked steadily, he stood still and said: "Come down to Ji, see King Pingxi."

Du Qi said, "Sit down."

Laiji bowed and saluted to thank you, and after he was seated, Du Qi said: "Laiji, you are from a famous family. Although your family is in decline, your family is loyal and brave, and your family tradition is very good. Moreover, with your background and talents, even if you are a In Datang, there is also a very good future. Why do you want to come to the Western Regions?"

Compared with Ma Zhou, there are more choices in Laiji.Even though Lai's family was in decline, Lai Ji's father, Lai Huer, was a general in the Sui Dynasty. It was not difficult for him to become an official under the name of Lai Ji's son.

This is Du Qi's inquiry.

Lai Ji said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I came to the Western Regions for three reasons."

Du Qidao: "This king is all ears."

Lai Ji said: "The first reason is that there are more opportunities in the Western Regions. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, serving King Pingxi in the Western Regions, the promotion speed is faster, and there will not be too many dirty things."

"The second reason is the fall of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the power of the Great Tang Dynasty. My father would rather die than to be loyal to Yang Guang. Although I don't have the loyalty of my father, but when I have more choices, I am willing to give up the Great Tang Dynasty. Tang, and choose the Western Regions."

"The third reason is that my elder brother Lai Heng has already become an official in the Tang Dynasty. Although the world is temporarily stable, the existence of King Pingxi has brought another change in the world. For the sake of Lai's family, my elder brother stayed in the Tang Dynasty, and I’m coming to the Western Regions. By doing this, I’m not putting all my eggs in one basket.”

Laiji said: "Pingxi King, this is the reason why I came to the Western Regions to serve as an official."

"Good reason."

Du Qi smiled, with a look of approval on his face.Laiji's words have already been explained very clearly.

Du Qi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Lai Ji, now this king is hostile to Datang. Tell me, how can we turn the situation around, and even go to Datang?"

This is what Du Qi did on purpose.

Now, he has no plans to attack Datang.Especially with Li Shimin here, Du Qi has no such plan.not only

Because of his father, but also because of people like Li Shimin and Li Yuan.Furthermore, Li Shimin is a hero, and Du Qi can protect himself in the Western Regions, but if he wants to counterattack Datang, it will be extremely difficult to win.

Today's Datang, the overall strength is too strong.

This did not prevent Du from asking questions.

Laiji smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "His Royal Highness, let me say something impolite. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, is here, and it is difficult to destroy the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin is a man who sweeps up the world. The Tang Dynasty is thriving and the national power is getting stronger and stronger, and it is impossible for King Pingxi to counterattack, at least for Li Shimin."

Du Qi nodded.

Laiji's analysis is indeed good.

Li Shimin's talent is rough, as long as Li Shimin is around, it is almost impossible to break the Tang Dynasty.

Laiji continued: "Your Highness' advantage lies in his youth. As long as His Highness has enough patience, he can wait and endure. When Li Shimin dies, and when Li Shimin's next generation inherits the throne, His Highness will have a chance."

"Because at that time, the generals and advisers of the Tang Dynasty had already withered, and the remaining civil servants and generals were all people who had not experienced many battles. They must not be His Highness's opponents."

Lai Ji talked eloquently, and continued: "As for Your Highness, I think the first priority right now is to develop strength and continue to expand westward. Only in this way, Your Highness's foundation will be stronger."

"Although it is unclear at the moment, how His Highness ordered Li Shimin to retreat. But this kind of thing can never happen again. Once it happens once, it is impossible to have a second time. Therefore, only His Highness develops his strength and waits until his strength increases again. There is a chance to face Li Shimin's next attack."

Laiji looked solemn and said, "Your Highness, this is my understanding of the current situation."

"Not bad!"

Du Qi's face was filled with a bright smile.

That's good analysis.

Moreover, Du Qi agreed with Laiji's analysis.Li Shimin is here, so big

The Tang army has a strong appeal.Perhaps because of geographical location and weapons, Du Qi was more than able to protect himself in the Western Regions. It was impossible to counterattack Datang and kill Datang.

Lai Ji said modestly, "Your Highness is absurd."

At this moment of Lai Ji, there was a faint joy in his heart.Because he won Du Qi's approval by virtue of his own vision and knowledge.Lai Ji even faintly felt that this was an opportunity for him to show his ambitions.

In fact, before Lai Ji came to the Western Regions, he actually found his elder brother Lai Heng, hoping that Lai Heng would come to the Western Regions together, not as Lai Ji said just now, to put his eggs in different baskets.

Unfortunately, Lai Heng was unwilling to come.

Therefore, Laiji came alone.

There was even an argument between Lai Ji and his elder brother Lai Heng. Lai Heng believed that Du Qi could not last long.However, Laiji believed that Du Qi won the four states of the Western Regions and defeated Hou Junji, which was enough to gain a foothold in the Western Regions.When Laiji arrived in the Western Regions, he learned that Li Shimin had withdrawn his troops and that Du Qi was safe. Laiji became more certain of his analysis and believed that his choice was not wrong.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: "Laiji, I have to consider your official position. You go down and wait for the notice."

"Yes!"

Lai Ji bowed down.

It's just that when Laiji turned to leave, there was a trace of solemnity and frown between his brows.In Laiji's perception, he had Du Qi's approval and should be settled immediately.Now Du Qi didn't arrange anything, just let him go down and wait.

Laiji didn't say anything, he walked out of the hall, saw Ma Zhou waiting for him, stepped forward and saluted, "Brother, I guess I don't have much hope, I'm going back to Datang."

Ma Zhou raised his brows and said, "What's wrong?"

Laiji said: "King Pingxi tested it and nodded his approval. However, King Pingxi said that my official position needs to be considered and asked me to go back and wait. Brother, this is actually a tactful refusal. So I don't think I have much I hope that even if King Pingxi appoints me to take up an official position, I am afraid it will be of little importance."

Ma Zhou smiled and said, "My dear brother, I am the same as you. King Pingxi also said that we need to think about it before making arrangements. Your worries are totally unnecessary."

Lai Ji said, "Brother, is it true?"

Ma Zhou said: "What did I lie to you for? My dear brother, you are extremely intelligent and extremely accurate in judging things. But when it comes to your own affairs, you are a little worried and think too much. In fact, King Pingxi has nothing else to do. Intentions. Let's go, let's go back and see Mr., and see what he has to say."

"Yep!"

When Laiji heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

The two left the palace hand in hand and went straight back to the Ping An Inn in the south of the city.two people met
