I'm a marquis in Datang

came back!

It's finally back!

But now, it is already the end of October.The weather is turning cold, so the clothes are relatively thick.

When Du Qi saw Li Shimin and the others, he dismounted and walked on foot with his eldest grandson Shunde after they got closer. When they came to Li Shimin, they all bowed and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin!"

"It's hard work, hard work!"

Li Shimin looked at his eldest grandson Shunde and Du Qi, and said in a deep voice: "Father has been in the palace, waiting for you for a long time. Now that you have come back, follow me into the city to see Father."

"Yes!"

Grandson Shunde and Du Qiqi all agreed.

Li Shimin glanced at Shibobi again, said without saying anything, "Enter the city!"

Following Li Shimin's order, a group of people began to enter the city.

Entering Chang'an from the north gate is the closest to the imperial city.Not long after, a group of people entered the imperial city and arrived outside the Ganlu Hall.However, Shibobi and his party were not summoned outside the Ganlu Hall for the time being.

After all, Du Qixian needed to talk to Li Yuan about Shibobi's mission.

Li Yuan summoned Du Qi, Changsun Shunde and others, and all the princes and ministers of the court were present.Li Yuan first made some formal remarks, praising his eldest grandson Shunde and Du Qigong for being in Sheji. After some formal words of praise, Li Yuan changed the subject and said, "Du Erlang has been sent as an envoy to the Turks. He has gained a lot of experience and grown taller. It’s also darker and thinner. How do you feel about traveling north to Turkic?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

It was a matter of state affairs that was being discussed in the court, but Li Yuan started to chat with Du Qi in a homely chatting tone when he said something serious, which was shocking.

Originally, Du Qi was highly valued by Li Yuan, but some people didn't know it.Now, it is completely spread.Everyone knows that Du Qi has really won Li Yuan's favor.

Du Qi reported: "Your Majesty, I am very touched by the minister's mission to the north. After leaving Chang'an and entering the Hedong Road, the further north you go, the harder the people on the border will be, and life will be very difficult. The world is initially set, and their days It is very difficult, especially many people have left their homes to avoid being attacked by the Turks. Datang urgently needs to improve its own strength in order to protect the country

people. "

Li Yuan nodded. As the emperor of Tang Dynasty, he knew the situation of Tang Dynasty well.Nowadays, not to mention the border of the Tang Dynasty, even many people in various places in the interior are poor and food is in short supply, let alone the border.

There is no way.

After all, there are still many enemies around Datang, and they need to be defeated one by one, which will take time.

Fortunately, Du Qi bought time.

Li Yuan praised Du Qi again, and in front of the courtiers, he once again commended Li Dayen, conferring on Li Dayen the title of King Dingxiang, and bestowing the title of Hushi General, and then transferred to the court to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War.

This is a tribute to Li Daen.

Everyone also agrees.

Li Yuan also commended grandson Shunde and bestowed grandson Shunde as the general of the town army.This is tantamount to promoting the eldest sun Shunde, which makes the eldest sun Shunde have the position of scattered official.

Originally, after Li Yuan ascended the throne, in view of the meritorious service of the elder Sun Shunde, he worshiped the elder Sun Shunde as General Zuo Xiaowei and named Xue Guogong.

As for Xue Guogong's title, in fact, the impact of the title is not that great.Because of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were many princes.On the contrary, there are very few officials at the level of scattered officials.The general of the town army was dismissed as an official, so he sent Chang Sun Shun

The rank of virtue was determined, so that the elder Sun Shunde immediately entered the circle of the second rank.

The higher one goes, the more difficult it is to advance one level.

Although Changsun Shunde said that he had made great achievements as an envoy, in fact, he mainly entrusted Du Qi to plan.Li Yuan gave Changsun Shunde a casual official position as a general of the town army, and Changsun Shunde was also cheerful and very happy.

After Li Yuan finished arranging the official position of the elder Sun Shunde, he turned his eyes to Du Qi for the last time, and said, "Du Qi listens to the order!"

"Chen is here!"

Du Qi immediately stepped forward and bowed in salute.

Li Yuan said: "This time, the great victory at Yanmen Pass defeated the Turkic Jieli Khan and achieved fruitful results. Not only did you take countless prisoners, but you also solved the threat of the Turks for a long period of time. I see your meritorious deeds in my eyes." .”

Du Qidao: "Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

Li Yuan said: "You have done what you should do, but I will clearly reward and punish you. Du Erlang, you have contributed to the community. Since you are young, I will give you the title of baron of Jianguo County, enfeoff the city of Lantian, and give you a courtship as a doctor." job."

The original Du Qi was Xuan Yilang, the seventh rank.

But now the title is male from Lantian County, which is from the fifth rank.In particular, Lantian County is not a small county, but a serious and large county, and it is close to Chang'an. This town is located in Lantian County.

Even though Du Qi actually has no governance rights, he only has tax and other benefits.But for Du Qi, this is already Long En, and there are not many princes in the Manchu Dynasty who can compare with Du Qi.

As for the appointment of a doctor in the court, it is also a loose official of the fifth rank, who does not need to do work and does not need to go to the court, and can receive a salary.

In other words, Du Qi now has two salaries.

One is from a feudal city, and the other is from a scattered official.

At this time, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Du Qi one by one, with envy in their eyes.Even in the eyes of some people, there is even more jealousy, because Du Qi became the man of Jianguo County at a young age, and has a title of title.

You know, this can be inherited.

After Li Jiancheng heard Li Yuan's arrangement for Du Qi, his hands in his sleeves were already clenched into fists, and his fingers were tightly clenched.If he didn't know that Du Qi was in the limelight, blocking him at this time would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and he would definitely have someone come forward to stop him.

However, Li Jiancheng also knew that Du Qili had made great contributions, so he couldn't stop him at this time.The great victory at Yanmen Pass, in exchange for several years of peace on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and rewarding Du Qi with the title of a founding county man, is not too much.

Chapter 238 Compensation

make up

Seeing that the courtiers had no objection, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "The reward for the Northland matter is settled like this. Du Qi stays here, and I have something to ask him, so you can step back."

Li Jiancheng's complexion was even more gloomy.

Du Qi stayed alone.

It can be seen that Li Yuan attached more and more importance to Du Qi.The more Li Jiancheng was like this, the more jealous and angry he felt.

All the officials weighed in their hearts.

Everyone has their own plans.

When the court officials withdrew, many officials came to Li Shimin's side to salute and greet Li Shimin.The reason is very simple, Du Qi is Du Ruhui's son, even though Du Ruhui is only a member of the Qin Palace now, but father is more valuable than son, with Du Qi around, Du Ruhui's identity is naturally different.

So everyone struck up a conversation with Li Shimin.

It's just that when everyone left, Shi Bobi, who was standing outside the hall, was a little confused, and they all dispersed.

Nothing about him has been said yet.

As soon as Shi Bobi saw Changsun Shunde coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Changsun, what is going on. I am on an envoy to the Tang Dynasty, why are you all gone, but the Emperor Tang hasn't summoned me yet?"
