I'm a marquis in Datang

Su Dingfang responded immediately.

Immediately, Su Dingfang looked at Fu Junheng and said, "Fu Changshi, you stay behind

Fang presides over government affairs.As soon as something happens, you can deal with it directly, and you don't need to report it.If I'm really not sure, I'll keep it temporarily and deal with it when I come back. "

"Yes!"

Fu Junheng responded immediately.

Gao Shilian, Hou Junji and Su Ding didn't waste any more time, got up and left the governor's mansion, led the army to the barracks first, and mobilized [-] soldiers under Su Dingfang's command.

This is to bring all the auxiliary soldiers.

The army set off.

An army of [-] troops marched mightily.

Now that it is December, the wind and snow are heavy, the roads are covered with snow, and the speed of driving is even slower.With the cold wind blowing, even though the soldiers under Hou Junji's command were dressed thickly, they were still a bit cold.

In mid-December, the border was reached.

At this time, Du Qi had been stationed at the border for a long time, and his army stationed there, quietly waiting for news.When Du Qi learned that the army of Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and others had arrived, everything remained the same without any changes.

The two armies were stationed at each other.

The distance is only six or seven miles.

After Hou Junji's army was stationed, Gao Shilian and a few personal guards were already heading for Du Qi's camp.Su Dingfang and Hou Junji never came, they just camped in the rear.

After all, Gao Shilian was the only one who went to the post. When Gao Shilian arrived at the gate of the camp, Du Qi never left the camp in person, but ordered the soldiers to take Gao Shilian into the camp of the Chinese army.

After Gao Shilian stood still, he glanced at Du Qi who was sitting on the main seat.

When it comes to titles, Du Qi is the king of Pingxi.

This is the princely title.

Even if Gao Shilian served as Jiedu envoy, he had to salute Du Qi, so Gao Shilian saluted and said, "Gao Shilian, I have met His Royal Highness King Pingxi."

Du Qi smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty Yixing is polite, please sit down."

After Gao Shilian thanked him, he sat down beside him.

Du Qi ordered people to bring warm wine, and said: "Mr. Yixing has walked all the way, and the weather is cold. Have a sip of hot wine to warm up your body."

"Thank you!"

After Gao Shilian thanked him, he took a sip of wine.

He was indeed a little cold all over, and his hands were even colder.Now after taking a sip of wine, especially if the wine is very strong, a burst of heat bursts out of the body, and the whole body

People suddenly became much warmer.

Gao Shilian stopped circling around, took out his edict, handed it to the attendant in the tent, and said: "Prince Pingxi, this is your majesty's edict, and I will take over the post of Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate of Anxi. Next, in the Western Regions, Under my jurisdiction. Previously, King Pingxi governed the Western Regions, which was quite effective, and His Majesty also highly appreciated it."

Gao Shilian, who was talking, stared at Du Qi.

He wanted to see if Du Qi would accept the edict.

Once Du Qizhen wanted to refuse to accept the imperial edict, then this battle would be inevitable.However, as long as Du Qi accepted the edict, he would be able to take charge smoothly as an envoy of the Anxi capital.

Du Qi noticed Gao Shilian's nervous expression, took the edict directly, and said: "Your Majesty personally issued the edict, and I have no objection. However, the previous Anxi Governor's Mansion Jiedushi's Mansion was in Guazhou. It's just that I've been in the Western Regions because I've been busy with the affairs of the Western Regions."

"The Duke of Yixing County is about to go to work. Now that he and I have completed the handover, he will go straight back to Guazhou City to work."

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "Speaking of which, the Anxi Governor's Mansion controls all parties. However, it is only a moderation. Each place has its own style, as long as it is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, then there is no problem. Of course, this is My personal experience, Duke Yixing, oh

, No, whether the high-level envoy adopts it is the matter of the high-level envoy. "

When Gao Shilian heard this, his complexion changed drastically.

He didn't expect Du Qi's response to be like this.Du Qi didn't disrespect the order, but accepted Du Qi's order.The problem is, Du Qi pretended to say that the government office of the Anxi Governor's Mansion was in Guazhou and asked Gao Shilian to work in Guazhou.

This is tantamount to emptying Gao Shilian. At that time, Gao Shilian wants to adjust the four states in the Western Regions and control Yizhou, Yanqi Prefecture and other places in his hands. It is impossible to do so.

Gao Shilian rolled his eyes and said, "Prince Pingxi, I am now serving as the governor of Anxi's capital, and the government will naturally have to make changes. Right now, the government will be moved to the territory of Yizhou for the convenience of governing."

Du Qi said with a smile: "Gao Jiedushi, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate. As I said just now, although the Jiedushi of the Anxi Governor's Mansion controls all parties, it is only moderation. The situation in various places. You rashly broke the previous Guazhou is the most suitable place for the governor's office of Anxi Protector's Mansion."

After Gao Shilian heard this, he was already angry.

Du Qi was blatantly right.

Gao Shilian's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "Du Qi, I am the current governor of the Anxi Governor's Mansion. I have been entrusted by His Majesty to take charge of the Western Regions. Now I want to adjust the government office. Could it be that you want to stop me?"

Chapter 816 The Conflict

Conflict

"of course not!"

Du Qi smiled, and said: "I, Du Qi, are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and loyal to His Majesty, and the world can learn from it. But when it comes to matters related to the Western Regions, the Western Regions are flourishing and everything is going well. , breaking the rules of the Western Regions, and even affecting the stability of various places, it would be very inappropriate. I did this for the development of the Western Regions."

Gao Shilian stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "Du Qi, don't talk about it. You know what your intentions are. I just said a word, my Jiedu envoy's government office must be moved to Yizhou."

Du Qi said indifferently: "Gao Shilian, this king gave you three points because His Majesty arranged for you to come. But if you insist on coming to Yizhou, you can't blame me. What's more, if you want to enter Yizhou, you will not be able to come here." You have to ask the [-] sons under my command. The [-] troops under my command are gathered here, and if you want to enter, it may be difficult."

Gao Shilian asked, "Are you going to rebel?"

Du Qi shook his head and said: "As I said just now, I am loyal to His Majesty and Datang. My heart can be learned from the world. It is impossible for me to betray Datang and to rebel. Jiedu envoys, do as the Romans do, when you arrive in the Western Regions, you have to follow the rules of the Western Regions, you can't do whatever you want."

Gao Shilian said: "Du Qi, you will regret it."

Du Qidao: "I, Du Qi, never regret what I do. Speaking of it, the reason why Gao Jiedushi is like this is because Hou Junji's [-] elites are behind him. Hou Junji was not very good at the beginning. Nothing. Thinking about it, I got the chance to lead the army alone."

Gao Shilian gritted his teeth and said, "Du Qi, you are really a traitor."

Du Qidao: "I think back then, when you planned the change of Xuanwumen, where was Gao Shilian? How about this king, you can say nothing about it. Although you are quite old, in fact you don't have much experience. Gao Shilian, If I were you, it wouldn't be like this. Because your actions are tantamount to forcing the king to break up with Datang."

Gao Shilian said: "From the beginning to the end, I never said that I want to sever the relationship between you and Datang. The reason for this situation is that you, Du Qi, want to betray Datang, and you are rebellious."

Du Qidao: "Gao Shilian, can your words represent His Majesty?"

Gao Shilian said: "Nature can represent."

In front of Du Qi, Gao Shilian would not back down in the slightest.Especially if he wants to take charge of the Western Regions and serve as the governor of the Anxi Capital Protectorate, he must show enough courage.

Du Qi nodded and said: "Since you can represent Your Majesty, if you think I am a traitor, it means that the emperor also thinks I am a traitor. I, Du Qi, have never betrayed, but the court thinks that I am a traitor. Let's wait and see
