I'm a marquis in Datang

Du Ruhui said: "It's not hard work, it's Erlang who made the plan, thank you for your hard work."

Zheng also nodded in agreement.

Du Qi smiled, didn't say much, then turned to look at Du Gou and saluted Du Gou.After all, at home, one still has to pay attention to parents and brothers. When the two brothers talked and talked, Du Ruhui's gaze fell directly on the two children, his face full of love.

After teasing the children for a while, the family went to the city.

Back in the palace, Du Qi hosted a special banquet to welcome Du Ruhui and Du Gou.He picked up the wine bottle filled with wine, and toasted to his family one by one. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Du Qi said: "Father is now in the Western Regions, please help me. Father was in charge of the government in the Tang Dynasty, and the government affairs are extremely important. Proficient. So this time, I have to work hard for you."

Du Ruhui shook his head and said, "Erlang, I'm going to the Western Regions now, so I won't do it for the time being."

I'll talk about it when I get used to it. "

"What habit are you used to?"

As soon as Mrs. Zheng heard Du Ruhui's words, she waited for Du Ruhui, and scolded: "My son is here, who else can you help if you don't help him? Why, you still want to go back to Chang'an to serve the emperor. This matter is settled like this, help Erlang work."

Du Ruhui smiled sarcastically at the words, Zheng Shi had spoken, what else could he say, he looked at Du Qi helplessly and said, "Okay, just throw it over if you have something to do."

Du Qi said: "Thank you, father."

After finishing speaking, Du Qi thanked Mrs. Zheng again, Mrs. Zheng said: "Your father will naturally help you, fight tiger brothers, fight father and son soldiers. Since our family has come, the family will naturally have to be twisted into one rope. Otherwise , isn’t it a joke for nothing?”

Du Qidao: "My mother is right."

Mrs. Zheng continued: "Erlang, how do you arrange for your elder brother to come here?"

Du Qi's eyes fell on Du Gou. Du Gou had been an official in the Tang Dynasty all these years, and his ability had been greatly honed, and Du Gou's temperament was even more capable and decisive.In addition, Du Gou is extremely rigorous in his work, and he is mature and prudent, which is very reassuring.

Du Qi said: "Brother, I have already made arrangements and I have been waiting for my brother to come to Gaochang City. I know the deeds of my brother in Datang over the years. My brother is rigorous and careful in his work, so this time , big brother will take charge of my side

important things.With my big brother here, I can rest assured. "

Zheng shi heaved a sigh of relief.

Du Gou's wife, Wei Yuanchun, also breathed a sigh of relief. She came to the Western Regions with Du Gou. In fact, before leaving, her father Wei Zheng specifically entrusted her to be Du Gou's good wife, and her future is limitless.

Even so, Wei Yuanchun was also worried that Du Qi might not arrange anything when Du Gou came.On the contrary, Du Gou looked extremely relaxed, nothing unexpected, and even more calm.For Du Gou, he believed in his younger brother, and he didn't have so many thoughts about power.

Du Qi said calmly: "Now that I have conquered the Shule Kingdom in the Western Regions and destroyed the Western Turks, there will be no more expansion in the territory of the Xia Kingdom in the future. The main thing is to adjust the internal problems. .”

"There are many problems in Xia Kingdom today, which have not been sorted out."

"Especially the most important point right now is to start to promote the same text of books and the same track of cars, and unify all languages ​​and characters, so that all the people in the Western Regions can speak the same language, so that they are all the people of our Xia Kingdom, For the Han people, there are no longer divisions of regions or ethnic groups, and there is no longer the concept of a country, there is only one Xia country."

"On top of that, there's another thing that's the problem of population growth. Nowadays

The number of people attracted from all over the world has actually become less and less, after all, the number of people who can come is limited. "

"So the national policy discussed some time ago is to encourage people everywhere to have more children and promote population increase. The land of the Western Regions is vast and sparsely populated, with a very small population. If there is not enough population, if you want to continue to increase the national power of Xia, If the foundation is strong, it will become more and more difficult, and it will be difficult to have the power to continue."

Du Qi said solemnly: "So at the moment, I hope that my brother will be in charge of the population affairs. I don't know what he wants?"

"no problem!"

Du Gouwan didn't even think about it, so he said, "Whether it's the Tang Dynasty or the Xia Kingdom, the competition of national power is actually a competition of population. The more people there are, the stronger the national power will be. Therefore, I am willing to take charge of this matter. "

Du Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved that my brother is willing to take responsibility. Population matters are related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, as well as the foundation of Xia. Only people like my brother can make me feel at ease about this matter."

Du Gou said to himself: "King Xia, don't worry, I promise to proceed properly."

Du Qidao: "Brother, you are wrong. There is no King Xia in our family. I am just your second brother."

Du Gou smiled and said, "I understand."

After a pause, Du Gou continued: "Second brother, don't worry, I will handle the matter in hand well and will not let you down."

Du Qi then changed the subject, no longer talking about official affairs, but talking about some private affairs at home.Especially the presence of Du Ye, Du Yan, and Du Gou's son made the atmosphere even more lively.

A reception banquet, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Du Ruhui didn't live in the palace, and Du Gou didn't live near the palace. This was already arranged, and only Du Ruhui and Du Gou needed to move in.

Du Qi was relieved when everyone was sent away.

Finally home.

Du Ruhui, Du Gou and others all came to Xia Guolai, so Du Qi had nothing to hold back.As for Du Yan and other clan members of the Du family who are still working in Datang, Du Qi is actually not worried at all, because although they are relatives with Du Qi, they are actually slightly separated from each other. big.

Du Qi also had a rest early.

The next day, early in the morning.

After Du Qi got up early, he arranged for someone to call Ma Zhou over and praise Ma Zhou.Because this time Du Ruhui's affairs were all arranged by Ma Zhou.It all depends on Ma Zhou's strategizing to be able to accomplish this.After the compliments were over, Du Qi was relieved again.

The platoon brought Changsun Chong to the palace.

Yesterday, he was busy taking care of Du Ruhui and others, and he didn't talk to Chang Sun Chong at all. Now that the matter has been settled, the next step is to deal with Chang Sun Chong.

Du Qi wants to release him according to the agreement.

But even if he releases him, Du Qi will have to question him and beat Chang Sun Chong at the same time to let Chang Sun Chong know that Xia Guo is the most terrifying place and cannot be easily provoked.

WeChat private visit

When Chang Sun Chong saw Du Qi, especially when he saw Du Qi's appearance, he felt apprehensive from the bottom of his heart.Because the time in Gaochang City was the darkest day in his life.

Although Du Qi never treated his food harshly, never scolded him.The problem was that in the unfamiliar place of Xia Guo in the Western Regions, he didn't even dare to go out, worried that if he went out, something would happen to him, it would be bad.

For this reason, Changsun Chong lost a lot of weight.

When Chang Sun Chong saw Du Qi, he bowed and saluted, and then stood quite restrained in the hall.

When he was in Chang'an, Chang Sun Chong was a good boy at home and obeyed everything.But when he goes out, Chang Sun Chong will reveal his disposition, quite lively, and cunning and smart, he likes to play around very much.It's just that in Gaochang City, there is nothing like this.

Du Qi said lightly: "Chang Sun Chong, have you gotten used to the life in Gaochang during this period?"

Changsun Chong said: "Thanks to King Xia's care, everything is used to it."

Du Qi sighed and said, "Oh, you have gotten used to the life in Gaochang after you came to Xia Kingdom for a short time. It seems that there is no need to send you back to Chang'an for the time being.

Benben Wang's plan has already been considered, if you are not used to the life in Gaochang, I will let you return to Datang.Now it seems that there is no need! "

"It's necessary, it's necessary. King Xia, I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it." Chang Sun Chong didn't even think about it, and immediately said: "I miss Chang'an all the time, and I miss my relatives at home. Please learn from King Xia."

Du Qi smiled and said, "Really?"
