I'm a marquis in Datang

Roll!

The wheels turn and go fast.

After all, it was already late at night, and there were already no people on the street, so the carriage could drive quickly.While the carriage was driving, Du Ruhui said: "Erlang, you're going to the Western Regions, and you've already thought about it before you go to the Turks. Well, to be precise, it was the message that was sent to my father at that time, saying that you should take out the money as military salary , you have an idea."

"Yes!"

In front of Du Ruhui, Du Qi answered directly.

He wasn't lying.

The idea of ​​going to the Western Regions was indeed born at that time.Because of Du Qi's

Inside, there was a sense of insecurity.Originally, Du Qi was in Datang, and he also felt that life was good and leisurely.

However, the industry he runs is getting bigger and bigger, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, but Du Qi himself is constrained everywhere, and he feels like a fattened pig that has to be slaughtered at any time.

Even if Li Shimin didn't know how to do it himself, it would be extremely uncomfortable to cut flesh with a blunt knife.

So Du Qi chose to leave.

Go to the Western Regions, lay down your own foundation, and then make your own decisions.

This is Du Qi's idea.

When Du Ruhui heard Du Qi's words, he said that it was true, and then Du Ruhui continued: "It's just that you went to the Western Regions, and the land of the Western Regions is in chaos. Killing today, killing tomorrow, killing all the time. These people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty today. Tomorrow, another person has changed to join the Tang Dynasty, and it will always be a mess. If you go to such a place, can your mother rest assured?"

Du Qi said with a smile: "Father, if mother cares about it, you will be in chaos. You know your son, don't you know his ability, don't you know his way of doing things?"

Du Ruhui said: "As a father, can you not worry?"

Du Qi grinned and said: "Father, don't worry, in a word, my son will arrive in Suzhou safely, and then stabilize quickly.

Don't worry, Yin Changqing didn't kill his son, Li Jiancheng didn't kill his son, and the Turks didn't kill him. Similarly, people from the Western Regions couldn't kill their son.Father, you can relax. "

"You..."

Du Ruhui shook his head, and said: "Your own affairs, you will tell your mother when you get back."

"Yes Yes!"

Du Qi smiled and said: "Mother is easy to talk about here, just say it was the emperor's arrangement. In short, I won't talk about the inside story of the matter. Anyway, it is the emperor's arrangement, so mother will not say anything more."

The two father and son walked back talking and laughing.

When they arrived at Du's house, it was already late at night, but at this time the house was brightly lit.

Zheng Shi didn't sleep, so he greeted Du Qi at the gate. When Du Qi got off the carriage, Zheng Shi, Li Yanyun and Qian Xue went to greet him at the same time.It stands to reason that Li Yanyun should go home now, but he has gotten used to it over the years, so Li Yanyun is in Du's house, so no one said anything.

As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw her son coming back, her whole body became excited. She quickly took Du Qi's hand, looked him up and down, and said, "Let mother take a look, you go to fight, and you will be gone for a few months, mother." Don't worry!"

Du Qi smiled and said, "Mother, my son is fine."

Zheng shook her head, looked at it carefully, and said words such as thinner and darker, but in fact Du Qi was not thinner, after all, he ate well and slept well in the army, so it didn't have any effect.

As for being dark, it was a little darker.

After all, the sun.

Du Ruhui stood aside, couldn't stand it any longer, and said: "Madam, Erlang just came back, so don't delay outside. Let's go, go back to the house."

"Yes, yes, go back to the house."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng nodded hurriedly.

He took Du Qi back.

Du Qi, Li Yanyun, and Qianxue nodded in greeting, then walked inside, and the family returned to the hall where the host and guest took their seats.

At this time, Du Ruhui became an invisible person, sitting on the sidelines without saying a word, all Zheng's chattering words, asking about Du Qi's affairs in the army, not about what merits Du Qili had made, but whether Du Qi could eat well Sleep well or something.

After a long call, Mrs. Zheng said: "Erlang, during the time you were away, girl Yanyun and Qianxue, they prayed for you every day, and hoped that you would return safely. The two of them don't think about food and drink. It's not easy."

Du Qi said with a smile: "Mother, my son knows."

At this time, Zheng's face had a look of expectation, and she smiled.

He said: "Erlang, this time you went north with Director Li, destroyed the Turks, and captured Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan alive. It can be said that you have made great achievements. The court should reward you This time, what kind of awards did you get? The emperor can't do it, so I'll give you some loose official titles."

Du Qi said with a smile: "Mother, Your Majesty granted me the title of Pingxi King. From then on, your son is a prince. And now that the title is re-established, your son is the first king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty."

"King Pingxi!"

After hearing this, Zheng frowned.

This is a bit strange.

Although the Zheng family is a family of women and Taoists, it is not because they do not understand the rules of conferring kings. Conferring a king should have a feudal state.It's just that there is only Shiyi, that is, only taxes, and no governance power at all.

But there are also place names!

King Pingxi!

Where is Pingxi?

Mrs. Zheng asked: "Erlang, why is this prince of yours so strange, something is wrong!"

Du Qi explained: "Mother, there is nothing wrong. The Pingxi King of my son is targeting the land of the Western Regions, not the Central Plains. Your Majesty said that if the son conquered a place outside the sandbars of the Western Regions, it belongs to the son." Fengguo is the son of Quan

Right to handle.This is the origin of King Pingxi. "

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's eyes widened, and she stood up immediately, and said, "You said just now that the land of the Western Regions is yours. That means you are going to the Western Regions?"

This is Zheng's wisdom.

She is not stupid.

Anyway, she is also from a famous family, and she can become Du Ruhui's daughter-in-law, and she is extremely smart if she can suppress Du Ruhui to death.After Du Qi said a word, Mrs. Zheng understood what was going on, and asked.

Du Qi grinned and said: "Mother, please sit down, don't worry, don't worry. Hehe, my son is indeed going to the Western Regions next. Anyway, my son is King Pingxi."

Zheng said, "Is this arranged by the emperor?"

"Yes!"

Du Qi nodded and answered.

He didn't turn red or breathe when he told the lie, anyway, this title was indeed conferred by Li Shimin, it was enough to bluff the Zheng family, but Du Qi couldn't control the rest.
