I'm a marquis in Datang

Once the territory is lost, it is the loss of power and humiliation of the country, which has a great impact on today's Datang.

Li Yuan walked down the hillside, and he walked up the hillside without haste.When they were halfway up the mountain, there were already accompanying guards shouting for the old man Li Yuan to ask Du Qi, the king of Xia.After the sound reached the mountain, Du Qi heard it, and was a little surprised that Li Yuan came to the front of the battle in person.

The relationship between Du Qi and Li Yuan is actually a bit complicated. Li Yuan treats Du Qi as a junior.But in the end, Du Qi assisted Li Shimin in launching a coup and drove Li Yuan from the throne.

Even so, Li Yuan never complained and hated Du Qi, and still cared about Du Qi's development. Even when Du Qi was in the Western Regions, Li Yuan sent someone to send a message, which shows Li Yuan's concern for Du Qi.

This has gone beyond the relationship between monarch and minister, it is the relationship between relatives.

Du Qi immediately arranged for someone to invite Li Yuan to come up the mountain.

Not long after, Li Yuan arrived.

Du Qi drank away the people around him, and asked someone to prepare a canopy to block the sun, and prepared drinks before sitting opposite Li Yuan.Du Qi said: "It's really a chance to see the Supreme Emperor again. I hope that after another ten or twenty years, I can still see the Supreme Emperor again. I offer a glass of wine to the Supreme Emperor."

He picked up the wine bottle and drank it down.

Li Yuan also picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine. He looked very free and easy, shook his head and said: "Now, I am already in my sixties. This body is getting worse and worse. If I can live for a few more years, it is not a loss. How can I get more money?" Expect to live for ten or 20 years."

Du Qi said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor relaxes, don't worry, you can live another ten or twenty years."

Li Yuan said: "I accept your auspicious words."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan remained silent again, filled a glass of wine on his own, and said after drinking a glass of wine: "Du Erlang, I once thought that you would develop rapidly after you arrived in the Western Regions. Even at that time, I also I talked to you about why you came to the Western Regions."

Du Qi said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor has the foresight."

Li Yuan shook his head and smiled lightly, and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that you would build such a foundation in just a few years. What's more, I didn't expect that you would have a day when you would become an enemy of Datang, would you Swordsmen face each other."

Du Qi shrugged his shoulders, with a look of helplessness, and said: "The Supreme Emperor, this is where I am helpless! I didn't intend to hurt others, but someone always wanted to deal with me! When I was in Tang Dynasty in the past, I felt that being a helpless A carefree dandy is pretty good, but some people deal with me. When His Majesty ascended the throne, I never thought of leaving, but there are always people in the court who think that I have been taken advantage of and can deal with me at will."

After a pause, Du Qi said again: "I have no choice, I can only come to the Western Regions. But when I get to the Western Regions, I can't stand someone trying to deal with me! Take this incident as an example, Hou Junji first arranged for someone to sneak into Rouyuan The county assassinated me, and this is where I am now. Every step I take, I have been calculated by others, it is really helpless!"

Li Yuan sighed when he heard the words, because Du Qi is really not to blame for these things.

Changsun Wuji is the scourge.

Hou Junji was also a scourge.

Even the uneasiness and suspicion in the emperor's heart were scourges.At this point, there are actually many reasons for the addition, so Li Yuan sighed: "After all, people can't help themselves in the arena. Many things are clearly known, but in the end it backfires. Just like the emperor, he actually understands many times, but he can't help himself." , was pushed forward. Du Erlang, don't blame the emperor."

Chapter 964 The Four Conditions

Four conditions

Du Qi heard Li Yuan's words and said: "The Supreme Emperor is actually speaking good words for the Emperor now. Could it be that the Supreme Emperor no longer remembers the emperor's actions, and has forgotten the killing of the Xuanwu Sect in the past."

Li Yuandao: "The past follows the wind, how can we always remember it? After all, it is not appropriate to always indulge in the past. And as time goes by, the memories of the past will gradually wear away. Besides, you also persuaded me at the beginning. It has developed to the point of the emperor's mutiny, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. If I didn't want to take care of both sides, I wouldn't have developed to the point of the past."

Du Qi said: "It's great that the Supreme Emperor can see through it. Speaking of it, I really don't blame Your Majesty. The reason is very simple. When he was the King of Qin, he could be regarded as my elder. It's just that when he became the emperor, he just The emperor is no longer my elder."

"Because the starting point considered by the emperor is always the overall situation of the court."

"Emperor, you are alone."

"It's not unreasonable to be alone. So the emperor can't change his decision because of his personal feelings, and he can't abolish the public because of private interests. This is the difference between the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor. You are a kind-hearted A softer, more impulsive person."

Du Qi said: "You are not a qualified emperor, but an elder I will always respect."

"Hahaha…"

When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

The laughter was quite cheerful.

It's no wonder he treated Du Qi like this.

Worth it!

After Li Yuan laughed, he said with a smile: "When I heard your words, I don't know whether you hurt me or praised me. Du Erlang, your mouth has not changed even though time has passed."

Du Qidao: "The Supreme Emperor is absurd."

Du Qi admired Li Yuan, so Du Qi was happy to chat with Li Yuan, talking about the past and nostalgic about the past.The two were drinking and talking, and this scene fell into the eyes of Li Shimin and the others at the foot of the mountain, each of them was very nervous, and they were all worried about what would happen in the end.

Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you think Du Qi will directly detain the Supreme Emperor?"

Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, Du Qi is my enemy now. But I also know Du Qi, so he wouldn't do such a dishonest thing. The most important thing is that Du Qi respects his father very much, and they have a very good relationship , you are worrying, quietly

Check it out. "

Changsun Wuji smiled mischievously.

In fact, Du Qi came here because once Du Qi really detains Li Yuan, the situation between the two sides will be completely irreconcilable.At that time, perhaps Datang will be desperate and try his best to destroy Du Qi's Xia Kingdom.

Changsun Wuji believed that as long as Datang made up his mind to fight, and mobilized all his troops, even if Du Qi's fighting power was strong, he might not be able to resist.

Even if there is a war of attrition, Du Qi will be exhausted.

But such an idea, Changsun Wuji just thought about it.He looked around and saw Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others. These people were calm and not nervous.

In the anticipation of everyone, the conversation between Li Yuan and Du Qi on the mountain continued.After reminiscing about the old days, Li Yuan finally put down the wine bottle in his hand, and said: "After drinking the wine, we have also spoken, let's get down to business, it's time to get down to business."

Du Qidao: "The Supreme Emperor, please tell me."

Li Yuan said: "Du Erlang, this time the battle of Guazhou has developed to the point where it is now, you give me a clue, what do you think about it? It is to take Guazhou and bite off a piece of meat from Datang. , or just for revenge, to seek justice."

Du Qidao: "Supreme Emperor, I once told His Majesty the Emperor that I will not offend if I say that people will not offend me. I will still tell you this sentence, because I have my own feelings for Datang and do not want to attack Datang. So this time I went to Guazhou just to ask Datang to give me an explanation, that's all."

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "I have never dealt with Datang from the beginning to the end. But Hou Junji sent troops to attack me for the first time, and sent people to assassinate me the second time. Does Datang think that I am easy to bully?"

After hearing this, Li Yuan felt a little settled.

Du Qi was just trying to get justice back, so there was room for relaxation and negotiation in this matter.What Li Yuan wanted to do this time was to preserve Guazhou, in order to bring Guazhou back under the rule of Datang.

On this basis, Li Yuan is advancing in this direction.Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Du Erlang, what you mean is that you can retreat. But I want Datang to give you an explanation, right?"

Du Qi said with a smile: "The Supreme Emperor has come forward in person, how can I not retreat."

Li Yuan stroked his beard under his chin, and said, "Tell me, what is your condition for retreating?"

Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, I have four conditions here."

Li Yuan said: "Let's listen."

It's just that Li Yuan's heart is beating drums.As soon as Du Qi opened his mouth, there were four conditions, which was a bit unbearable, especially

Li Yuan is also worried that Du Qishi will open his mouth.
