I'm a marquis in Datang

After Ma Zhou saluted, Ma Zhou said, "You two met His Highness, how is the situation?"

Ma Zhou said, "It's not bad."

Laiji immediately asked: "Sir, King Pingxi also spoke well of me, but he didn't arrange for an official position immediately, but said that he should consider it carefully. There is no arrangement for the time being, so let me wait. Brother Ma is the same here, and he also said Let wait. Sir, King Pingxi did not give an accurate answer, does it mean that King Pingxi has no plans to appoint us for the time being?"

"Hahaha…"

When Wang Ji heard this, he laughed out loud.

Laughing quite heartily.

Lai Ji was a little confused, and asked, "Sir, what are you laughing at?"

Ma Zhou looked at Wang Ji with a puzzled look on his face.

Wang Ji explained: "Both of you are unfounded and worried. King Pingxi didn't arrange for you. In fact, I didn't arrange for you either. You didn't get an official position immediately, and I didn't get an official position immediately either."

Laiji said, "Why didn't King Pingxi make arrangements for the time being? With King Pingxi's wisdom, he should be able to arrange it immediately. After all, King Pingxi is a first-class wise man in the world."

For Du Qi, Lai Ji admired him very much.

Du Qi's age is slightly older than him, but at this age Du Qi,

Laiji is extremely envious of having made such a huge fortune, and he admires it even more.

He couldn't do what Du Qi did.

Wang Ji smiled slightly and said: "The reason why King Pingxi didn't make arrangements is very simple, because King Pingxi is preparing for the establishment of the country. Once the country is established, every official position will have to be adjusted, so there is no official position. You two, You just need to wait. King Pingxi is extremely short of talents now, and you will definitely be reused when you come to King Pingxi."

When Lai Ji and Ma Zhou heard this, they became excited.

Du Qi wants to establish a country.

It stands to reason that Du Qi was conferred the title of Pingxi King, and the fiefdom was in the Western Regions. What is the feudal state, but there is no book.Now that Du Qi has established a country, it is tantamount to forming a real regime.

This can stabilize people's minds.

It is more able to gather strength.

Lai Ji couldn't help but rubbed his hands together, and said, "Sir, I never thought that I would have misunderstood King Pingxi. Now that King Pingxi is establishing a state, I don't know whether King Pingxi chooses to attach himself to the Tang Dynasty, or to truly stand on his own."

Ma Zhou said: "In my opinion, he should still be attached to Datang for the time being. It is actually not good for King Pingxi to openly rebel now."

Wang Ji said: "You two, don't think about it too much. Think about Pingxi

No matter what the king is, there is no benefit at all.On the contrary, you are going to Gaochang City, and you are about to serve King Pingxi.You should study the situation of the four states in the Western Regions right now, and understand the people's livelihood in the four states in the Western Regions.A clear understanding of these will help you become officials. "

Lai Ji looked solemn, and said solemnly: "Sir, Lai Ji will keep it in mind."

Ma Zhou said: "I will keep in mind Master's teaching."

Wang Ji continued: "However, when doing things, you have to combine work and rest. While you are studying things, you should relax and relax. It is rare to have a chance now. Take a look around in the Western Regions, take a look around, and get a taste of it. The customs of the Western Regions."

Both Lai Ji and Ma Zhou agreed.

At this time, both of them suddenly realized.

No more worries.

Just full of expectations.

Chapter 847 Xia Guo

Xia Guo

In the palace, after Wang Ji, Ma Zhou and Lai Ji left, Du Qi returned to the backyard to accompany his wife and children.After going out for several months, he did not deal with government affairs for the time being, but played for a day.

The next day, early in the morning.

Early in the morning, Du Qi arranged for people to invite Shangguanyi, Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng into the palace.

The three of them are the true direct descendants of Du Qi.

Is the core strategist.

Du Qi glanced at the three of them, and said straight to the point: "The three of you are summoned to the palace today to discuss the establishment of a country. We fought against Datang, blocked Datang's attack, and made the emperor retreat. Right now, it is necessary to establish a country and set the rules and regulations. Only by establishing a country can the whole people be united."

When Shangguanyi, Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng heard this, they all became excited.

Finally waited until this moment.

In fact, they had all received the news before, and even had expectations and guesses in their hearts.But whether it's the news I got or my own speculation, the moment when it is actually implemented is the most exciting.

Liu Zhengxi took the initiative and said: "His Royal Highness, since we want to establish a country, the first thing is the name of the country.

His Highness was conferred the title of King Pingxi, which is not enough to serve as a country title.If you accept me, you need to consider the name of the country. "

Guo Xiaozheng agreed: "What Liu Changshi said is true, if the country is established as the Pingxi Kingdom, the structure is too small."

Shangguanyi was the last to speak, and he said: "According to the current rules of enforcing a country, a two-character feudal country is extremely weak. A real feudal country is a one-character feudal country, such as Jin, Yue, The state of Qin corresponds to King Jin, King Yue, and King Qin."

"His Royal Highness wants to establish a country, so it is natural to choose from them. However, Jin Kingdom, Yue Kingdom, etc. have corresponding regions. However, the region where His Highness is located is located in the Western Regions. There is no corresponding country from the ancient pre-Qin period."

"There is no precedent for this point."

Shangguanyi said: "Therefore, regarding the title of the country, it is impossible to follow the old rules. It can only be decided by His Highness."

Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng looked at Du Qi in unison. They both agreed with Shangguanyi's analysis. Using Pingxi Kingdom is too low-grade, so it is better to rearrange it.

Du Qi asked: "Do you have a suitable country name?"

Seeing Du Qi's inquiry, Shangguanyi thought for a while and said: "If we want to talk about the country name, we are located in the west of the former Qin State, so we simply take Qin as the country name and take Qin's country name for our own use. After all, Great Qin is the number one country. A centralized country sets a precedent for a generation. Your Highness takes Qin as the title of the country, which symbolizes being like Great Qin."

"Not right, not right!"

Liu Zhengxi didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Although the Qin State has a long history, from the time when the first emperor of Qin proclaimed himself emperor to the second Huhai, the second died. Taking Qin as the name of the country is very inappropriate, and the signs are unknown. Thousands of people today , they are all called Han people. In my opinion, Han is the name of the country. This does not choose the location or anything else. It is purely because of the Han people, so I choose Han as the name of the country. There were two Hans in the East and the West, which have been passed down for hundreds of years. To Your Highness, Continuing the inheritance is also the orthodoxy of the Han people."

Guo Xiaozheng shook his head and said: "I don't think it's appropriate. There are two Hans in the East and the West. When it comes to Your Highness, although the name of the country is Han, it is actually not easy to distinguish."

The three began to argue.

Each express their opinion.

They began to deny each other again, and raised their opinions again.Such a process has been debated for a long time, but it is difficult to draw conclusions, and there has been no result.

Seeing this, Du Qi raised his hand and pressed down.

The three stopped talking, and looked at Du Qi in unison, waiting for Du Qi to make a decision.Du Qi listened to the discussion of several people, but felt that the consideration was too complicated.After thinking for a while, he simply said, "Since we can't argue about why, let's follow mine. We live in the Western Regions, and we use Xia as our country name."
