Li Shimin slightly hesitated, opened the mouth and said: “Yes, it is now dispatched. Although everything is just on the right track, Jie Li has been isolated, whether it is Syr-Tardush, Or the Uyghur Khaganate and other other tribes, as well as the Tuli Khan, are also fighting against Illig Qaghan.”

“This is the best opportunity to deal with Jieli.”

“Of course, given that the situation has just stabilized and it is not suitable for large-scale troop deployment, I cannot leave Cháng’ān. Therefore, this time led the troops to fight, with Li Jing as the marching Chief Manger, and led the troops to attack Turkic.”

“The number of troops sent will not be too many, only 30,000. I don’t need to ask about the specific arrangements and authorize Li Jing to make full decisions. This direction is already finalized.”

“Now I call you, I hope you youngster will also go out with the army, responsible for escorting grain and grass, and military staff.”

Li Shimin said: “You, are you willing?”

When Du Qi heard this, he knew that the matter had been finalized, and he was just asking his opinion.

Du Qi said: “His Majesty, I am willing to go.”

Although there are many things to deal with at the moment, for Du Qi, it is actually good to go to the expedition.

Li Shimin said: “Okay, things are set like this.”

Du Qi asked: “When will I go out?”

Li Shimin said : “Now we still need to raise grain and grass, and gather all the government soldiers. So for the time being, we need to wait a short time. At the beginning of March, we will officially send troops to the north.”

Du Qi said: “The minister understands.”

Li Shimin made many more arrangements before all the civilians and generals left.

Du Ruhui has government affairs on his body, and he has to deal with government affairs in the palace, so Du Ruhui and the others go to the office of the office, while Du Qi goes out of the palace alone.

He returned to Du’s house, busy with his own affairs. After all, he is about to leave Cháng’ān for a long journey, and many industrial matters need to be arranged properly to avoid chaos after Du Qi leaves.

In the evening, Liu Jian entered and reported: “Noble Son, Lord, please go there.”

“Got it.”

Du Qi Answer it.

Du Qi went to the study, met Du Ruhui, took his seat and said: “Father called me, but what’s the matter?”

Du Ruhui said: “There is indeed something “

Du Qi saw what Du Ruhui looked like and asked: “Could it be something that is difficult?”

Du Ruhui has always been extremely agile and quick to do things. , There will be no procrastination. Now, he looked hesitant, obviously something was going on.

Du Ruhui breathes deeply, saying: “That’s all, I won’t go around in circles for my father. Before you enter the palace today, His Majesty and us agreed to send troops to attack Turkic, but the center of gravity of the Imperial Court is still Resume production and let various places develop.”

“In fact, the Imperial Court had limited taxation and money, and they were all discussing military expenses.”

“At that time, one by one, They were all embarrassed and there was no solution, and finally my eyes fell on the father. I am helpless here, but it can only be a matter of raising money. It is said that the military expenses of the Imperial Court are the responsibility of my Du family. “

“Let me convince you.”

Du Ruhui said resolutely: “So I came to you for my father, just for the sake of military payment.”

Du Qi heard that the complexion slightly changed.

Didn’t expect the Imperial Court now has his idea. Does this mean that he is already very fat?

Du Qi’s nature is that I can give it to you voluntarily, but if you are satisfied, I will let me pay. That’s a bit wrong. At least Du Qi is upset.

The emperor asked for money, just say it.

It’s boring to go in circles.

Du Qi hasn’t spoken yet, Du Ruhui continues: “Erlang, we have money in the Du family, and the Imperial Court is also in urgent need. So for this matter, you see if you can draw some money from the Du family to sponsor the Imperial Court.”

Du Qi breathes deeply, staring at Du Ruhui and said: “Father, is our family’s money blown down by the wind?”

Du Ruhui was speechless.

He knew that it was not appropriate to let Du Qi pay. But the crusade against Turkic has already been decided, and if it is impossible to make changes, Du Ruhui can only grit his teeth. For his son, Du Ruhui feels helpless.

I have the Imperial Court on one side, and my family on the other. The Imperial Court can’t refuse, and he feels guilty for his son.

Du Qi sighed when he saw Du Ruhui, and said, “That’s all, father doesn’t have to be embarrassed. I agree to this matter. This time, how much does the Imperial Court cost?”

p>

Du Ruhui said: “One million sticks!”

Du Qi said: “Okay, one million sticks, I will then draw the transfer from the Bank and let the person directly give it to the father. When The time comes, and the father is sent directly to the palace.”

Du Ruhui saw his son agree, but his son has always had an idea, so Du Ruhui said: “Erlang, this time, in fact, His Majesty did not It was spoken. The Imperial court officials didn’t speak, so I said it for the father.”

Du Qi said: “Father, between you and me, there’s no need to say this. even more how, When His Majesty mentioned the expedition, he should consider the issue of money. He can’t think about it at all.”

“If His Majesty is short of money, he can directly contact me and speak in front of me. Just that’s all.”

“After all, His Majesty treats our Du family well. But it is not appropriate to cut the meat with such a soft knife. In short, I will respond to this time, but I will make arrangements later. “

Du Qi has little respect for the emperor.

His original idea is actually very simple. Li Shimin is a good monarch, and Du Ruhui is in the house. He lives a leisurely life in Great Tang, which is very good.

So Du Qi is willing to be a dude.

Willing not be an official.

Now what happened today, it can be seen that after Li Shimin became the emperor from Prince of Qin, even if Li Shimin still had a face, he was good to Du Qi, but Li Shimin was the emperor after all.

An emperor must handle things sensibly and weigh the pros and cons.

Countries are the top priority.

The rest are secondary.

This is Li Shimin’s change, and it is also a normal change.

Du Qi can understand, but it does not mean that Du Qi will be willing to bear the impact of this change on himself, so Du Qi has an idea in his heart, he is not willing to suppress everything In Great Tang Cháng’ān.

When Du Ruhui heard Du Qi’s words, his eyes narrowed, said solemnly: “Erlang, what are you going to do?”

Du Qi said: “Great Tang , The world is peaceful, and the people are finally living a good life. In China, there is definitely no development and future. Even if I go to the official career, when I reach the position of father, I have already reached the top of the mountain. No matter what, after all, it is not my own decision. So I I will go to Western Regions and out of Western Regions to create a piece of Heaven and Earth.”

“What?”

Du Ruhui’s face showed a look of surprise .

He was really shocked.

My son, because of money, has to go to Western Regions to develop.

Du Ruhui breathes deeply, suppressing the inner thoughts, said solemnly: “Erlang, you have to know. Once you go to Western Regions, you will be unfamiliar with the place where you are born and far away from your homeland.”

Du Qi said: “This peace of mind is my hometown, here in Cháng’ān, after all, it is not practical enough. Therefore, I have to develop in Western Regions. This is my idea.”

Du Ruhui’s expression is quite solemn.

He was a little unwilling.

I don’t want Du Qi to leave.

Du Qi laughed and said, “Father, this matter is set for the time being. Right now, I have to go with the army to fight Turkic to the north. So this matter is still early, so don’t worry about it. Up.”
