I'm a marquis in Datang

At this moment, Du Qicai waved his hand and said, "Everyone, step back."

All the people stood up and left.

Only Liu Zhengxi, he was still kneeling on the ground, although Du Qi said to back down, but Liu Zhengxi knew that this time, it was a taboo, so he didn't dare to go down.

Du Qi looked at Liu Zhengxi who was kneeling on the ground. At this time, fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of Liu Zhengxi's forehead, because the imperial capital city had begun to heat up, and Liu Zhengxi was even hotter.

Du Qi said lightly: "Liu Zhengxi, you have been following me for more than ten years."

Liu Zhengxi said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

He was the first person to follow Du Qi, although in terms of seniority, he is no match for Jin Wuque, but he has been working for Du Qi since the Wang family broke away and surrendered to Du Qi, and it has been more than ten years since he left the Wang family.

Liu Zhengxi in the past was in his prime, but now Liu Zhengxi is gradually getting old, and even has hair on his temples.

The gray and white color is no longer what it used to be.

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "In the past, you followed me with a pure mind. But now, your mind is complicated. You always remember that you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Xia Kingdom, and an official of the Xia Kingdom. You eat the food of the Xia Kingdom If you take Xia Guo's salary, then you must always handle things from Xia Guo's standpoint, and don't get mixed up with other interests and thoughts."

Liu Zhengxi was beaten, but he was relieved.

Du Qi is still willing to say this, which proves that he still has a great weight in Du Qi's heart.

Furthermore, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials after all.

It's impossible for him to lose his holy family just because of one sentence. Anyway, he has followed Du Qi for these years.But Liu Zhengxi also knew that if he didn't change, would still go his own way, still put on airs, he would be kicked out sooner or later.

Liu Zhengxi said: "I will bear in mind your majesty's instruction."

Du Qi nodded and said, "Think about it, go down, and call Li Jing."

Li Jing previously served as the head of the staff department, but because of the Daxia Military Academy incident, Li Jing returned to the Imperial City to form the Daxia Military Academy.Even Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others are all in Daxia Military Academy now.

These old people who belong to Datang are all in the academy.

Liu Zhengxi kowtowed again, then bid farewell and left.Liu Zhengxi, who walked out of the hall, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

So scary.

Du Qi put too much pressure on him.

Before this, Du Qi had been fighting outside, so the affairs of the court were almost all decided by Liu Zhengxi and officials from various ministries.

Now that Du Qi was back, Liu Zhengxi's mentality did not change for a while, so that he was beaten by Du Qi.

Liu Zhengxi's back was even completely soaked, it was all wet with sweat.

He looked back at the deep palace.

Another long sigh.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, he is just the emperor's courtiers, and it is not good to have too many thoughts.

After Liu Zhengxi adjusted his mentality, he turned around and went to notify.

Because Daxia Military Academy was not too far from the imperial city, Li Jing went straight to the palace after receiving the news.Today's Li Jing is already 67 years old, nearly [-] years old, with white hair and beard, and looks quite old.

However, Li Jing's stature is thin and his steps are brisk, but his spirit is hale and hearty. He enjoys being the dean of the Military Academy.In these years at the Daxia Military Academy, Li Jing had a fulfilling life, and he felt that his life was very good.

When Li Jing saw Du Qi, he bowed and said, "My subject, Li Jing, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Du Qi ordered: "Give me a seat!"

The servant brought the seats, and Li Jing sat down directly. He smiled and said: "Your Majesty swept the Tang Dynasty, completely destroyed the Turks, and took Silla, Goguryeo, and Baekje. Congratulations. It is an unprecedented feat. In terms of meritorious service, His Majesty's achievements can be said to surpass the three emperors, surpassing the five emperors, far surpassing Qin Huang, Han Wu."

Du Qi burst out laughing immediately, and said: "Mr. Yaoshi, if your words spread out, I'm afraid people in the world will think that you, Li Jing, are a sycophant and a sycophant."

Chapter 1405 Excited Li Jing

Excited Li Jing

Li Jing stroked the beard under his chin, with a calm expression, calmly said: "The old minister is old, he doesn't care what these people say, he just cares about what he says and does. Besides, the old minister always says something, Tell the truth."

"When it comes to the vastness of the territory, the Xia Kingdom far exceeds the Qin and Han Dynasties. In the past, the Tang Dynasty served all directions, and the territory was considered vast. But compared with the Xia Kingdom today, it is not a star and a half. The area of ​​Tianzhu in the past has become the Xia Kingdom. Part of it is the achievements far surpassing those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns."

"The territory of Xia Kingdom is the largest in history."

"Of course, although the territory is vast, there is still a long way to go to make everyone recognize Xia Guo, think that they are Xia Guo people, and recognize themselves from the bottom of their hearts. It will not be completed overnight."

Li Jing continued: "Especially Xia's weapons are the best in all dynasties. No country can compare to Xia's today. To put it bluntly, Your Majesty's current weapons are enough to sweep past dynasties."

"Besides, scholars will be able to read and write, and scholars, farmers, and businessmen will improve by then. People's lives will be better than before. They will not have to worry about food and clothing, and the tillers will have their fields. This is even more progress."

"These are all the achievements of His Majesty."

"That's why the old minister is telling the truth. If anyone objects, the old minister can refute them one by one without any fear. These words can be said with confidence, and even more so, they can make people speechless."

Having said this, Li Jing changed the subject and said: "Come back to business, Your Majesty summoned the old ministers to the palace, but what is the matter?"

Is there anything to order? "

Du Qi said: "There is indeed something, and it is the matter of the staff department."

Li Jing frowned slightly upon hearing this.

As for the affairs of the staff department, he was indeed involved, especially the position of the head of the staff department, which was no less than six ministers, was extremely suitable for Li Jing.But these years, Li Jing has been preaching and teaching in the imperial capital, teaching scholars to study.

He didn't care about the affairs of the staff department at all.

The staff department is also equivalent to a fake.

Therefore, in Li Jing's heart, he actually regarded the chief of the staff department as an idle job, and he didn't take it to heart at all.Now when he heard Du Qi's words, it was obvious that Du Qi wanted to make further adjustments.

Li Jing said calmly: "Is Your Majesty planning to adjust the staff department? If His Majesty wants to adjust it, just arrange it. After all, the veteran is in the staff department, and he is idle and has not performed his duties."

Speaking of this, Li Jing continued: "Here, the old minister is even willing to resign from his official position and concentrate on dealing with the affairs of the Daxia Military Academy. After all, there are many things in the academy, and he is too busy every day."

Du Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Yaoshi, you are worrying too much. I invited you, not to make you resign. To Xia Guo, you are like a Dinghai magic needle. If you are here, then Xia Guo will be prosperous Scholars are constantly being cultivated. Moreover, although the General Staff Department has been false before, and even the General Staff Department has been falsely established again and again, but now, it is really going to be used."

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, please show me."

Du Qi said: "The staff department is now responsible for the management of the army, the assessment, promotion, and even adjustment of all generals in the army, etc.

, all belong to the General Staff.Even the food, weapons, and salaries of the army are in the staff department. "

brush!

Li Jing's complexion changed slightly upon hearing this.
