I'm a marquis in Datang

"To be honest, it's not appropriate to fight Liu Heitai at this time. It's best to fight steadily and dampen his edge. When Liu Heitai's edge is gone and his morale gradually drops, it won't be too late to start a war with Liu Heitai."

"The East Palace will definitely not make such an arrangement."

"Eastern Palace is eager to make meritorious service. If you lead troops to meet them, you will definitely fight directly. So instead of taking the initiative to fight for it, it is better to let East Palace go. After East Palace hits a wall, Chaozhong will think of His Highness."

Du Qi talked eloquently, and continued: "When the time comes, His Highness will come forward, and he will take advantage of the situation, and let the whole court know that His Highness is the real mainstay."

"There is another reason. When I have a conflict with the Eastern Palace, His Majesty will favor me, because I am unique to Your Majesty. The problem is that once Your Highness has a conflict of interest with the Eastern Palace, and His Highness wants to fight with the Eastern Palace. In the end, His Majesty must I will choose to favor the East Palace, because His Majesty wants to ensure that the heir and the elder will be established."

"It will definitely establish the prestige of the East Palace."

"This is not to say that His Majesty favors the Eastern Palace. It is because the imperial court enshrines the Eastern Palace and requires the Eastern Palace to have sufficient prestige. Therefore, His Highness may not be able to win the battle with the Eastern Palace."

Du Qi said: "Therefore, my suggestion is that instead of fighting, Your Highness, it is better not to fight."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Your Highness, I agree with Du Erlang's analysis, that's what I mean."

Changsun Wuji was hostile to Du Qi, but Changsun Wuji had to admit that Du Qi's analysis made sense.When the snipe and the clam fight each other and the fisherman benefits, the Qin Palace is naturally happy to see it succeed.

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "No, no!"

Du Qidao: "Why?"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui all showed surprise on their faces, and said, "Your Highness!"

They all persuaded Li Shimin.

They don't want Li Shimin to be impulsive.

Li Shimin said seriously: "This king is not impulsive, it is because if Donggong is allowed to fight Liu Heitai. Once the battle is defeated, it will have a great impact on the overall situation of Datang."

"What's more, it's the lives of countless soldiers. If it doesn't involve other things, I'm willing to use any means to deal with Donggong, and I won't have any scruples."

"But it involves the lives of thousands of soldiers. I can't do it if I ignore it."

"In short, do your best to obey the destiny."

Li Shimin said: "I will fight for the expedition. Even if His Majesty arranges the prince to lead the army in the end, I have nothing to say. At least I have a clear conscience."

Chapter 305 The Bottom Line and Persistence

bottom line and persistence

Du Qi was greatly touched when he heard Li Shimin's words.In history, Li Shimin, who started the rule of Zhenguan and created the prosperous age of Zhenguan, was a wise emperor and a heavenly Khan who was honored by all ethnic groups.

However, it is absolutely impossible for someone who can become an emperor without using intrigue.

Under the most noble imperial power, there must be many bones.Even so, Li Shimin has his own persistence and bottom line, and his own principles, which are the principles of a king.

Du Qi admired such a person.

Du Qi thought for a while and asked, "Your Highness, have you really considered it?"

"Think about it!"

Li Shimin answered solemnly.

For Li Shimin, he does what he does and what he does not, and he has his own persistence.

Li Shimin can fight with Donggong, he can fight with Donggong to the death, but he will not ignore the lives of thousands of soldiers because of fighting with Donggong, this is what Li Shimin is unwilling and will not do.

Du Qi looked solemn, and said solemnly: "Since His Highness has his own insistence, there is nothing to say. In short, His Highness should do it according to his own method, and the boy should follow behind."

Li Shimin nodded.

He didn't say much.

Du Qidao: "Your Highness, the boy is going back first. Later, the boy will arrange for someone to deliver 50 yuan."

"it is good!"

Li Shimin nodded.

Du Qi immediately got up and said goodbye. Although it was freezing outside, for Du Qi, he didn't feel so cold when he was wearing a down jacket.When he got home, Du Qi hid in the house.

However, Du Qi also went to see Mrs. Zheng. After all, when it comes to moving money, Mrs. Zheng is the big housekeeper, so Mrs. Zheng has to handle it.Just supporting Qin Wangfu's 50 guan, Zheng was so angry that he stomped his feet.

In the end, he also agreed.

But Mrs. Zheng told Du Qi that it would not be an example.If Prince Qin's Mansion still needs money, just tell her directly, anyway, she has plenty of reasons to shirk.

Du Qi smiled lightly.

My own mother has a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

He said he wanted to refuse, but considering Du Ruhui, even if the Prince Qin's mansion needed money next time, the Zheng family would definitely agree with him.

meaning.It's just that in the end, Mrs. Zheng must have vented her curses.

Du Qi returned to his yard and stopped going out.

Time passed and it was getting late.

But in the evening, a servant came to report that it was the news from Li Xiaogong's family, Prince of Zhao Jun, asking Du Qi to go to the mansion to tell.

Du Qi heard that he could only walk once.

Du Qi put on his down jacket and left the mansion to go to Zhao Junwang's mansion.Fortunately, Zhao Jun Wang's Mansion is not far from Yongxingfang, so it didn't take long, and Du Qi had already arrived outside Zhao Jun Wang's Mansion.

Du Qi took off his down jacket, put on a big cloak, and then got out of the carriage and started on his way.After all, this is a formal occasion,

Down jackets can be used for heating, but they are not suitable for wearing on formal occasions.

After Liu Jian knocked on the door, not long after, the door opened, and an attendant took Du Qi to the backyard.This is the residence of Princess Zhaojun Wang's family in the backyard. Du Qi is a little surprised.

What did the princess Wang of Zhao Jun want him to do?

Du Qi suppressed his thoughts, saluted and said: "Boy, I don't know if Wang Hao is calling, but what's the matter?"

Wang said: "Erlang, sit down!"

"Thank you, princess."

Du Qi was still stern, and sat down obediently.

Wang said: "You and Yanyun are engaged, so there is no need to be so restrained. Even if you and Yanyun are not married yet, we are still a family."

Du Qidao: "What the princess said is true."
