I'm a marquis in Datang

He walked ahead and led a group of people to Mayi.The eldest grandson Shunde and Du Qi followed closely behind, without any surprises.Because the two of them are now convinced of Gao Manzheng, it is impossible to resist them, and they are willing to surrender to Datang.

During the trip to Mayi, they had already instigated Gao Manzheng and made Gao Manzheng work for Datang.

A group of people went to Mayi.

However, Gao Manzheng didn't say anything along the way, and the group hurried on in silence.Arriving in Mayi, Gao Manzheng took his eldest son Shunde and his party straight to the military camp, where the host and guest were seated in Gao Manzheng's own tent.

Gao Manzheng's eyes still fell on Du Qi.

He still felt that Du Qi was simply a monster.

It's not easy at a young age.

At this time, Gao Manzheng did not confront Du Qi tit-for-tat, and praised: "I thought that Du Qi's envoy was a bit ridiculous and generous. After talking with him, I found that it is really extraordinary. Du Qi is indeed suitable as a deputy envoy."

Du Qi said with a smile: "General Gao is over-rewarded."

Changsun Shunde took the words and said again: "General Gao, if you are in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, or if you are familiar with the situation in the Tang Dynasty, you may know a book called The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If you know this book, it will be a good thing for Du Qi. There will be no such perception.”

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become synonymous with Du Qi.

Gao Manzheng said: "I know, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a very good book. I heard that it came from Chang'an. I only read part of it, and there is no follow-up. It's a pity! The news here in Mayi is not well-informed. .”

Speaking of this, Gao Manzheng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have just come back to his senses, looked at Changsun Shunde, and said in shock: "General Changsun, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is Luo Guanzhong, what does it have to do with Du Qi?"

Sun Shunde said with a smile, "Du Qi is Luo Guanzhong. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is

Du Qi wrote it under the guise of Luo Guanzhong. "

"what!"

Gao Manzheng was shocked when he heard this.

I was very surprised.

When he looked at Du Qi, his eyes changed again.The surprise at Du Qi turned into shock.It was hard for him to imagine that at such an age, Du Qi could write such a divine book as Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Gao Manzheng clasped his fists and said, "Master Du, Mr. Gao has blind eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me."

Du Qi said: "General Gao is polite."

He knew very well that Gao Manzheng would respect him because he was the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.However, more goodwill here is still based on Gao Manzheng's submission to Datang.

If the relationship between the two parties is really hostile, even if Du Qi is the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he will be dealt with by Gao Manzheng.It is impossible to give him preferential treatment just because he is the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Du Qi took advantage of the situation and said: "General Gao, attaching to the Turks is an act of betraying the ancestors, and will be criticized and reviled by countless people, and even stabbed in the back by countless people. General Gao, you are a person with a bottom line and a conscience. You, can you Are you willing to submit to Datang and serve Datang?"

Chapter 199 Yang Lizhi's Plan

Yang Lizhi's plan

Gao Manzheng didn't answer immediately when he heard Du Qi's words.He was silent for a moment, then said: "Vice Envoy Du, I surrender to Datang, so it's a big matter. As the deputy envoy of the mission, can you be the master? Besides, after I surrender to Datang, what position can I hold in Datang? Can you decide what kind of title you get?"

He asked questions one after another, and his words were quite strong.

Gao Manzheng turned his gaze, then looked at Changsun Shunde again, and asked, "General Changsun, can you be the master?"

Changsun Shunde stroked the beard under his chin, and said: "I can't make the decision on the placement of General Gao. However, Du Qi can make the decision. Your worries are not a problem."

Gao Manzheng was surprised when he heard the words, and even more puzzled, he asked, "Can he be the master?"

Du Qi is young and smart.

But when it comes to major matters of submission, Gao Manzheng finds it strange that a general like Changsun Shunde can't make the decision, but Du Qi can make the decision.

Du Qi didn't hold back, and explained: "General Gao, when I left Chang'an, I was authorized by His Majesty to act cheaply during the mission. Not only that, but I also met with senior officials during the mission."

After a pause, Du Qi took out the token of Ruzhen's presence from Li Yuan from his sleeve, and said: "This is the token bestowed by His Majesty. If I come in person, it represents His Majesty. You will submit to the position of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty and take the What kind of title, this matter needs to be judged by His Majesty, I can't make the decision. But I can be sure that after you surrender to the Tang Dynasty, you will not be treated harshly. This is my answer."

After Gao Manzheng heard the words, he became more at ease.

Although it is temporarily impossible to determine his official position and title, but if Du Qi can make the decision, things will be easy to handle.And such a thing, as long as Du Qi agrees on behalf of Li Yuan, it is impossible for Datang to refuse.

The reason is very simple. If Datang denies Du Qi's decision and rejects Gao Manzheng who has surrendered, then who will dare to submit to Datang in the future is a matter of faith.

However, Gao Manzheng was a little puzzled.

Du Qi is just a child, but Li Yuan granted Du Qi too much power, which is really not easy.

Gao Manzheng thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Vice Envoy Du, could it be that you are the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Tang Emperor? Otherwise, how could you have such power and rank above everyone else?"

Du Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Gao Manzheng's idea is really unconstrained, saying that he is Li Yuan's illegitimate son.

Du Qi said: "General Gao, my father is Du Ruhui, who joined the army of the King of Qin. Because His Majesty trusts me, he gave me the right to do so. This is His Majesty's grace."

Gao Manzheng said: "Deputy Envoy Du, this is a joke, don't take it seriously."

Du Qi said: "No problem!"

He also knew that this was Gao Manzheng's joke, and there was no malice in it.

Gao Manzheng's expression turned serious, and he said again: "General Changsun and Deputy Envoy Du, I am willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. But after I surrender to the Tang Dynasty, will I announce the news immediately? After all, this is not a trivial matter."

The eldest sun Shunde still looked at Du Qi, but did not speak.

He believed in Du Qi's judgment.

Du Qi said directly: "General Gao's surrender to the Tang Dynasty will not be publicized for the time being. We may need General Gao's secret assistance in our mission to Turks this time. If the news of General Gao's surrender to the Tang Dynasty spreads, it may be against us to go north. Changes have arisen. Therefore, if you want to announce the news of General Gao’s submission to the outside world, you have to wait until we return.”

"no problem!"

Gao Manzheng replied with a smile.

For him, there is not much difference between announcing earlier and later announcing his submission to Datang.

Gao Manzheng continued to ask: "I don't know when General Changsun and Deputy Envoy Du are planning to go north?"

Du Qidao: "This time going north, does General Gao have any suggestions?"

Gao Manzheng said: "If you want to talk about suggestions, it's really nothing. After all, Deputy Envoy Du is extremely talented. With Deputy Envoy Du, everything is not a problem. But I know a little about Xieli's situation. Xieli is extremely powerful. And self-willed, the means are very tyrannical, you must be careful."

Du Qi nodded.

Coming out of Chang'an, Du Qi and Changsun Shunde were collecting news about Xieli Khan. They already knew some news about Xieli Khan very clearly.

Gao Manzheng said again: "General Changsun, there is one more matter. Yuan Junzhang was captured, what are you going to do with it?"
