I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Qi gave an order.

Liu Jian went to inform, and Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi and the others, and ordered: "The general framework has been determined, and the next step is the arrangement of personnel. The three of you go to inform, and tomorrow we will call civil servants and military generals together to discuss matters in the hall. The court meeting for the discussion Now, this king personally announced the adjustment to everyone."

"Yes!"

The three of Liu Zhengxi responded together.

The three turned around and left.

Not long after the three left, Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi entered.

The three are the chief generals in the army.

Now the affairs in the army are in charge of three people.After the three of them clasped their fists in salute, Du Qi waved his hand to signal the three to sit down, and asked, "You guys came together, what's the matter?"

Xue Rengui took the initiative and said: "Your Highness, the three of us are here to persuade Your Highness at the request of the officers and men of the army."

Du Qidao: "What do you persuade me to do?"

Xue Rengui looked solemn, and said solemnly: "I am persuading His Highness to persuade His Highness to establish the country and become the emperor. We have already started a war with the Tang Dynasty, and now even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has led his own troops to retreat."

"For Your Highness, this is an opportunity."

"We can now establish a country and proclaim ourselves emperor, and establish a country on our own. From then on, we will be independent from the Great Tang and not be subject to the jurisdiction of the Great Tang. Even Tubo can be independent. Your Highness, there are no fewer than one hundred thousand people in armor now. , the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the weapons are advanced. Under this premise, His Highness is not afraid of the Tang Dynasty, and can establish the country and proclaim himself emperor."

Xue Rengui said: "The [-] people in the army all request His Highness to be called emperor."

"My minister, meet your majesty."

Having said that, Xue Rengui immediately got up, knelt down and saluted Du Qi again.

"My minister, meet your majesty."

Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan got up together and knelt down to salute.

The three of them came prepared. Although the soldiers in the army had never fought against Li Shimin's army, after the confrontation, Li Shimin's army fled in despair.In this case, the morale of the lieutenant general was high and the fighting spirit was high.

Everyone is very excited.

They all look forward to Du Qi's further progress.

Du Qi suddenly smiled when he saw the three of Xue Rengui kneeling on the ground.He is ready to start the country and become king.However, Du Qi did not expect that the generals in the army like Xue Rengui were more eager than him, and more eager to get rid of Datang.This step is also too big, and it is easy to tear the eggs.

Du Qi didn't intend to proclaim himself emperor directly, and it was not suitable for him to really tear himself apart with Li Shimin right now.Although the confrontation between Du Qi and Li Shimin this time, and even the previous fight with Hou Junji, was tantamount to tearing face off with Datang, but there was still a fig leaf, which was not really a face-off.

Once Du Qi became emperor, the situation will be different.

That was hitting Li Shimin in the face.

Although Du Qi founded the country by slapping Li Shimin in the face, Du Qi still belongs to Datang in name.Even if he slapped Li Shimin in the face, it would save Li Shimin some face.Li Shimin does not have the conditions to go to war now, so he can only suppress his inner unhappiness.

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Get up, everyone."

"Yes!"

The three of them got up together and went back to their seats.

Du Qidao: "I know the request of the three of you, as well as the wishes of the officers and men in the army. It's just that I don't have the conditions to become emperor at the moment. I want to found the country now, but there is no need to become emperor. For the time being, we are still attached In the Great Tang, it is still a vassal state of the Great Tang. It will not be too late to separate it in the future, there is no need to get yourself into trouble because of a false name."

Ma Yuan felt a little sorry when he heard the words, but although Ma Yuan said that he had not been following Du Qi for a very long time, he knew Du Qi well. Since Du Qi had already said so, it was definitely impossible to persuade Du Qi.

The same goes for Xue Rengui.

The three of them stopped speaking to persuade them.

Du Qi waved his hands and said: "Go down, this time the king founded the country, and the soldiers in the army will be promoted and arranged one by one. You have to be busy about this."

Xue Rengui said: "I obey!"

Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi also agreed.

The three of them came and went quickly, and left soon after.

Du Qi was sitting alone in the main hall at this time, already thinking about the candidates for the officials of the six ministries, and the arrangements for the other officials from Yushitai, Dali Temple and so on.

This is a big project.

Du Qi needs to ponder one by one.

Chapter 849

Nation

One day is fleeting.

The next day, early in the morning.

After having breakfast early, Du Qi came to the main hall and summoned the civil servants and generals under his command to discuss matters.

This time, Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, Shangguanyi, Yuan Yin, Yi Fusheng, Yu Deshui, Jin Wuque, Huang Shi and others were all present. As for the generals, Xue Rengui, Ma Yuan, Xiao Yuanqi, Zhu Youtian, Zuo Xianfeng and others were present. also present.In addition, Wang Ji, Lai Ji, Ma Zhou and Zhang Jingping also attended.

Du Qi had notified them all.

People big and small, more than [-] people gathered.

This is Du Qi's team.

Of course, under Du Qi's command, there are Luo Yansheng, Jiang Changzong, Hu Youshan and other officials who have been released as officials and are in charge of a place.Because of these people, Du Qi's team was formed.In fact, if one really wants to govern the four states of the Western Regions, any person who is drawn from Du Qi's command can command the four states of the Western Regions.

After all, the land of four states is not that big.

At this moment, everyone looked solemn.There was a look of anticipation on each face.Because everyone knows that today is the day when Du Qi founded the country, and officials will be re-appointed and dismissed.

Du Qi coughed twice, and said: "I believe that all the lords already know what is going to be agreed today. This king came from the Tang Dynasty and expanded the territory in the Western Regions. So far, there are Yizhou, Gaochang Prefecture, Yanqi Prefecture and The land of four states in Kucha Prefecture."

"Although the land of the four states is not considered a vast area, it can be regarded as having a foothold."

"The most important thing is that before the war with Datang, we captured Hou Junji and wiped out nearly 20 troops of Datang. After that, we retreated [-] troops of Datang without a single soldier."

"After this battle, we have really gained a firm foothold. Therefore, the king of Japan founded the country today, and the name of the country is Xia. It is called Xia State, and I am the King of Xia. My Xia State is based in the Western Regions and is still a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. In name Respect Datang and obey Datang's arrangement."

Du Qi explained the current arrangement.

Everyone laughed lightly when they heard it.

In name!

This is the key word.
