I'm a marquis in Datang

"You old bastard, you don't dare to tell the truth, do you?" Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Li, and said with a snort, "Who else can have a grudge against Du Qi, but also want Du Qi to die, besides the East Palace? This matter, Changsun Shunde did not report it at the beginning, but now he reported it, obviously because he was worried about the impact of the previous secret performance. Now they have turned around and only reported it."

Xiao Li stood aside and did not speak.

He just listened.

Li Yuan was even more dissatisfied with Li Jiancheng in his heart.But the East Palace is the East Palace after all, the heir apparent of the country.Even if Li Yuan was angry, with Du Qi whom he admired on the one hand, and the flesh on the back of his hand on the other, Li Yuan was quite helpless when he was angry.

He hates iron but not steel.

Li Yuan suppressed his anger and continued down.

Changsun Shunde's secret melodies contain a lot of content. From leaving Chang'an to the north and entering Hedong Road, Changsun Shunde recorded clearly one by one the important events along the way.Especially after arriving at Yanmen, seeing Li Dayen's plan, then calculating Yuan Junzhang, insisting on losing his mind, and persuading Gao Manzheng to surrender, and finally going to Turkic.

Everything is clearly recorded.

In particular, Du Qi and Jie Li fought wits and courage, and finally Du Qi deployed at Yanmen Pass and won.Changsun Shunde explained all the process clearly, and described the role Du Qi played verbatim.

In the entire record, Changsun Shunde's description of himself is two words - trust.He trusted Du Qi, so he gave Du Qi enough power, and let Du Qi arrange everything.

So there was the final victory at Yanmen Pass.

It took Li Yuan nearly a quarter of an hour to read all the news.

Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Du Qi's envoy to Turkic this time can be said to be both wise and brave. This boy dared to go on an envoy to Turkic, he has great courage; he has great wisdom in calculating and benefiting. What he did, he practiced Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country he said."

Xiao Li echoed: "Your Majesty's words are true, but this old servant still wants to say that no matter how powerful Du Qi is, after all,

It is also His Majesty who appreciates Du Qi.A thousand-mile horse often exists, but a bole does not often exist.If it weren't for His Majesty's arrangement, the present Yanmen Pass victory would not have been possible.So going back to the source, His Majesty is the real discerning person, the person who really contributed to the great victory at Yanmen Pass. "

"Old man, you are the only one who can kiss ass."

Li Yuan was in a good mood and spoke with a smile.

Xiao Li chuckled.

Xiao Li didn't take Li Yuan's words to heart, and continued: "But let's get down to business, Du Qi is indeed powerful. With his own power, he stirred up the Turkic situation. With the help of Li Dayen, the king of Dingxiang County, he fought at Yanmen Pass With very little loss, the Turks were hit hard. It can be said that the current Tang Dynasty and the northern Turkic border will not have to worry about it in the next few years."

"That's what it means!"

The expression on Li Yuan's face was very happy.

Today's Li Yuan, the joy in his heart, seems to be the happiest time in his life.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang established his achievements in Jijiyingying.

Even three expeditions to Goguryeo.

But they all failed, and in the end they ruined the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.But now, he has solved the Turkic threat without personally conquering, mobilizing troops on a large scale, and spending countless people's fat and anointing.

This is the merit of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan ordered: "Decree to call the crown prince, King Qin, and King Qi into the palace, and then call Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Feng Deyi into the palace to discuss the matter of welcoming the great heroes back."

"Yes!"

Xiao Li got the order and went to make arrangements immediately.

After everything was arranged properly, Xiao Li returned to stand beside Li Yuan.Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Li, how do you reward Du Qi this time?"

Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty, Du Qi is too young after all. What's more, Du Qi also asked Dingxiang County King Li Dayen to report his news. In fact, it was to avoid embarrassing His Majesty. Du Qi is a tired boy. Lazy temper, but also let your majesty

Don't worry. "

Li Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, yes, just a lazy temper. You are very good at saying this. But this kid has a passion and is a good man."

Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "Du Qi is indeed younger. Especially this kid, he doesn't like to be an official. This matter is a bit difficult to handle. But although I can't grant him an official position, I can grant him a title , it is possible."

Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Yuan glared at Xiao Li, as if dissatisfied with Xiao Li's flattery, and continued: "It stands to reason that with Du Qi's meritorious service

, it is all possible to bestow the founding father.But it doesn't work, after Du Qi comes back, give him a small title, and then make up for it from another place. "

When Xiao Li heard this, he secretly thought that Du Qi was lucky.

The title bestowed is small, but it is compensated from another place, which means that Du Qi's family is more prosperous.Du Qi's right to speak in front of Li Yuan will be even greater.

Li Yuan talked a lot today, and continued to say with emotion: "Du Qi, this boy, even talked about motivating Tuli Khan Shibobi to go south to Chang'an. This is also a great achievement. Alas, Du Qi, this boy, makes people happy! My big brother There was Du Qi in the Tang Dynasty, so there should be thousands of troops."

Xiao Li was amazed when he heard this.

Du Qi's status in the court, even though Du Qi's official position is small, and he doesn't even have an official, but Du Qi's influence may not be comparable to that of ordinary people.

Time passed, and soon, Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, and Feng Deyi entered the palace.

The four of them had originally served in the palace.

So it's coming soon.

After the four sat down, Li Yuan waved his hand, and Xiao Li handed over the battle report presented by Li Dayen to Pei Ji to read.When Pei Ji saw it, he stood up excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, is this true?"

Pei Ji couldn't sit still anymore.

This news is too shocking.

Pei Ji's words made Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu and others curious.Li Yuan didn't speak for the time being, but waited for Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Feng Deyi to finish reading. He looked at the shocked expressions of each of them, and then nodded and said: "The victory of Yanmen Pass is indeed true."

Whoa! !

Several people were shocked when they heard this.

Pei Ji exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this great victory at Yanmen Pass is extremely important to Datang. You must know

Dao, in the decades before the Sui Dynasty, there was never an important war against the north. "

"Even if the Turks belonged to the former Sui Dynasty, in fact, they listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda, and did not obey the Turks. That is to say, only by marrying relatives can the Turks' power be stabilized."

"Dating back more than [-] years in the former Sui Dynasty, during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the alien races in the north were extremely tyrannical. Let alone the Central Plains Dynasty, it is quite good if they can not be enslaved."

"It is Wei Wu's whip that can make the barbarian fearful. When Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao, conquered Wuhuan in the north, he made the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Huns in the north bow their heads. It took hundreds of years, that is, His Majesty has achieved such a great victory."

Pei Ji praised one after another.

They all praised Li Yuan, as if all of this was due to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's old face was full of smiles, and he was extremely happy.What Pei Ji said made Li Yuan feel happy inside.
