I'm a marquis in Datang

It was just like this that Changsun Wuji felt so uncomfortable.

"Boom! Boom!"

A knock on the door came from outside the study.

Changsun Wuji was in a bad mood, and said, "It's nothing, so don't bother me. I won't deal with it during this time."

government affairs. "

The butler stood at the door and said, "Master, there is a letter from the eldest son from the Western Regions."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Bring it in quickly."

The butler opened the door and entered, and put the letter on Changsun Wuji's desk.

Changsun Wuji opened the letter, and when he saw the dark purple blood book, he frowned and his heart sank.Immediately, Changsun Wuji quickly looked down, and after reading the letter, Changsun Wuji directly set fire to the bloody book.

There was a cold expression on his face.

His eyes were even more angry.

Because this blood letter was written by Chang Sun Chong himself.When he thought of his young son, but wrote a blood letter to ask him for help, Changsun Wuji's heart was extremely worried.

The content of the letter is very simple, let Changsun Wuji persuade Li Shimin to agree to arrange for Du Ruhui to go to the Western Regions.

Changsun Wuji was very troubled in his heart.

It was Changsun Wuji who proposed to deal with Du Qi.But now he wanted to help Du Qi, and also facilitated Du Ruhui's going to the Western Regions.This matter is tantamount to slapping oneself in the face.

Changsun Wuji fell silent.

Has been silent.

After a long silence, Changsun Wuji suddenly smiled miserably, and murmured: "Du Qi, Du Qi, you are really good. You won this time, but I don't believe you can win for the rest of your life. This time is still very long, let's We'll see."

At this moment, Changsun Wuji had already made a decision.Changsun Wuji calmed down again and continued to read, but after waiting for a short time, he heard the housekeeper enter and reported: "Master, there are people coming from the palace, please come in."

"understood!"

Changsun Wuji got up and responded.

This is to be expected.

Since Du Qi arranged for Changsun Chong to write a blood letter, let Changsun Wuji cooperate.Then Du Qi must have other arrangements. Right now, Du Qi's people must have submitted their credentials and asked Li Shimin to arrange for Du Ruhui to go to the Western Regions.

Changsun Wuji changed his clothes and left Changsun's house to go to the palace.When Changsun Wuji arrived at the main hall, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng had already arrived at the same time.

The three of them took their seats, and Li Shimin sat upright in the main hall with a solemn expression on his face.He looked around the three of them, took out a letter of credence from the desk, and said, "Come, let's take a look."

Changsun Wuji was the first to take it over to have a look.

The content of the letter is actually similar to that of Chang Sun Chong.This letter involves Du Ruhui and Changsun Chong. The Tang Dynasty arranged for Du Ruhui to serve in the Western Regions. The court can let Du Ruhui serve as the governor of the Anxi Capital Protectorate, or monitor the Western Regions, so as to give Li Shimin a step down, and the corresponding Du Qi Then release Changsun Chong.

After Changsun Wuji finished watching, he handed it over to Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng.

After the three people finished watching, Li Shimin said: "Let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter."

Anyway, Chang Sun Chong is his nephew, but it also involves Du Ruhui, who is Li Shimin's confidant.If Du Ruhui's family was arranged to go to the Western Regions, and Du Ruhui was allowed to work in the Western Regions, even though Li Shimin had a step down, anyone with a discerning eye would know that he had given up on Du Ruhui and let Du Ruhui's family return to Changsun Chong.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is reasonable to say that it involves the son of the minister, so it is not convenient for me to make suggestions. But I have no selfishness, so I will just talk about my thoughts."

Li Shimin said: "But it doesn't matter."

Changsun Wuji said: "Now that Du Qi is in the Western Regions, he has captured Gumo, Shule and other places, and destroyed Ye Hu, the Western Turkic system. It is impossible to stop Du Qi's development. Instead of continuing to make peace Du Qi maintains a stalemate, rather than making Du Xiang depressed, it is better to let him go to the Western Regions."

Li Shimin was slightly silent when he heard this.

Never spoke.

If Du Ruhui were to go to the Western Regions, it would be tantamount to him taking the initiative to give in and giving up his confidant.

Wei Zheng disagreed with the original battle with Du Qi.Now when Li Shimin asked, Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty was not because Du Xiang was left to restrain Du Qi. The prosperity of my Tang Dynasty was due to my own virtue and strength to conquer all directions. fundamental."

After a pause, Wei Zheng continued: "Especially it's not good for Changsun Chong to stay in the Western Regions, we still have to change it back. Therefore, I agree with the arrangement of Du Ruhui in exchange for Changsun Chong."

Li Shimin frowned suddenly.

Both Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng agreed, such an arrangement made Li Shimin somewhat unhappy.Li Shimin took a deep breath, suppressed his inner emotions, looked at Fang Xuanling, and asked, "Xuanling, what do you think of this?"

Fang Xuanling said seriously: "Your Majesty, since Du Qi has arranged for someone to submit the credentials, he is already extremely determined to bring Du Xiang's family to the Western Regions. Even if we refuse now, with Du Qi's means, there must be Other arrangements. Instead of this, it is better to agree to the credentials submitted by Du Qi to avoid trouble."

After a pause, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty should know about the recent news from the Western Regions that Du Qi took Gumo Prefecture, Shu

Lezhou even destroyed the Turks.Du Qi runs across the Western Regions and is extremely powerful.Du Qi's strength is so strong, adjacent to the border of our Tang Dynasty, once any conflict occurs, it will be against us.So it's not bad to be able to deal with Du Qi's affairs peacefully at the moment. "

Li Shimin's cheeks twitched.

From Changsun Wuji to Wei Zheng, and then from Wei Zheng to Fang Xuanling, they all persuaded him to agree without exception.

This made Li Shimin quite helpless.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and said: "You all know the disadvantages of keeping Du Ruhui, but have you ever considered it. Once this arrangement is made, how Du Ruhui thinks of me is like I have betrayed Du Ruhui."

Changsun Wuji solemnly said: "Your Majesty, there is no way to do this. In order to stabilize the territory of the Tang Dynasty and ensure the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, even if you fail Du Ruhui, there is nothing you can do about it."

"At the moment, it's the only option."

"You know the nature of Du Qi. Du Qi will never let go when he has a goal. Now that he wants to take Du Xiang's family away, if he can't do anything, Du Qi will definitely arrange other things." scheme."

Changsun Wuji continued: "The only thing we can do right now is to let go. It's like a strong man cuts his wrist."

Fang Xuanling said with relief: "Your Majesty, I and Du Ruhui have followed you for decades, and to put it bluntly, because your Majesty

Only then did I create Du Ruhui and me, and only then did everyone in the Tang Dynasty praise Fang Mou's decision. "

"Whether it is the minister or Du Xiang, they are actually loyal to His Majesty. I believe that this will be the case no matter what time it is, and there will be no change. After careful consideration, Du Ruhui stayed in Chang'an, seemingly It is restricting Du Qi, in fact, it has created a gap between Du Qi and Datang, and Du Qi may even be hostile to Datang."

"On the contrary, it was Du Ruhui who came to Du Qi's side. It seemed that he was going back to the mountain, and he had no way to restrain Du Qi. But in fact, Du Ruhui's loyalty to His Majesty is absolutely unwavering. As long as Du Ruhui is in the Western Regions, Du Qi It is unlikely to take the initiative to conflict with Datang. Because Datang is always the root of Du Ruhui, this is my opinion."

Fang Xuanling put forward his own analysis again.

Li Shimin sighed when he heard the words, and several of his confidants agreed, what else could Li Shimin say at this time?Li Shimin looked a little lonely, nodded and said: "I know what to do, step back, I will see Keming."

"Yes!"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng got up and left.

Li Shimin immediately arranged for someone to deliver the decree, and Du Ruhui rushed to the palace immediately after receiving the decree.During this period of time, Du Ruhui no longer dealt with government affairs. Even though he was not allowed to resign, Du Ruhui did not go to Dianmao to do anything.Now being summoned by Li Shimin, Du Ruhui entered the main hall, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Du Ruhui."
