For Xiao Li, it was just sending some news to Du Qi. It was not a difficult thing. However, Xiao Li was very surprised in his heart. At that time, Li Yuan gave Du Qi a token as if he was here in person, allowing Du Qi to freely enter and leave the palace. Xiao Li felt that Du Qi was not simple at that time.
Now, Du Qi was even more different, making Li Yuan think so highly of him.
Xiao Li also could not underestimate Du Qi.
Because although Du Qi was young, his logic was clear and his thinking was meticulous. Such a brat could easily influence Li Yuan. This was the most terrifying thing.
Du Qi first thanked Li Yuan, then turned to Xiao Li and said humbly, "Tang dynasty Daily News, I'll have to trouble Director Xiao in the future."
Xiao Li said, "It's no trouble."
Du Qi looked at Li Yuan again and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, this kid earnestly requests you to write an inscription for the Tang dynasty Daily News. Since then, the masthead of the Tang dynasty Daily News, each newspaper will have these four words at the front. It's the 'Tang dynasty Daily News' written by Your Majesty. In this way, it will also let the people in the world see Your Majesty's writing skills. "
"Hahaha …"
After hearing it, Li Yuan laughed.
Just think about it, everyone in the world could see his calligraphy. This was indeed a very proud thing. However, Du Qi, this brat, was truly a fantastic idea.
"Very well, I'll write an inscription for you."
Li Yuan immediately picked up the brush, while Xiao Li immediately went forward and laid out the paper. After all, Li Yuan was from a powerful family, the Guanlong Li Family, with a deep foundation, so Li Yuan's writing skills were excellent.
His writing skills were like dragons and snakes, penetrating the back of the paper, with iron strokes and silver hooks, extremely powerful.
After Li Yuan finished writing the four words, he blew dry the ink and handed it to Du Qi, saying in a deep voice, "Erlang, I heard that you asked King Qin to write an inscription for you. Now, you want me to write an inscription. Do you have a special interest in inscription? Do you like to collect calligraphy? "
Du Qi explained, "Your Majesty, I only hope that the world can see Your Majesty's calligraphy. Other than that, he didn't have any special hobbies. As for Qin Wang's inscription, it was just a coincidence. "
Although he said that, Du Qi quickly put it away.
Li Yuan's inscription was different.
This was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
When Li Yuan saw Du Qi's attaching great importance to this matter, he laughed inwardly and said, "The matter of the Tang dynasty's Daily News has already been explained clearly. I've also given you the title of 'Daily Newspaper of the Tang dynasty'. I've also asked Xiao Li to prepare the information that the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper needs for you. Now, do you have anything else to do? "
Du Qi thought for a while and said with an embarrassed look, "Since Your Majesty asked, I will tell you. Currently, there are two small matters, but I don't know if I should mention them. "
Li Yuan said, "You, punk, are rather greedy, saying two things at once. If it were someone else, I would have already kicked him out of the palace. Forget it, forget it, seeing that you are young and deliver novels to me every day, say it, I'll pardon you. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Du Qi bowed and thanked him, then said, "The first thing is that I just wrote a book called 'Investiture of the Gods'. Your Majesty likes to read 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', but this' Investiture of the Gods' is a mythical story. I don't know if it suits Your Majesty's taste, so I don't know if Your Majesty likes it. "
Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he already couldn't wait to say, "Present it!"
Xiao Li glanced at Du Qi again.
He found that Du Qi, this punk, was very scheming. Obviously, reading novels was something Li Yuan liked, but Du Qi pretended to be worried and hesitant. In this way, Li Yuan appreciated Du Qi even more.
A small trick was equivalent to winning Li Yuan's sacred heart.
Du Qi took out the first four chapters of 'Investiture of the Gods' from his sleeve, and held it in his hand. After Xiao Li took it, he handed it to Li Yuan's desk. Li Yuan opened it and took a look, then closed it again, and asked, "What's your second thing?"
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is a person who loves books, and also a person who loves to read. This punk's matter is insignificant, and there's no hurry. So, Your Majesty, you read the book first. After you finish reading, this punk will talk about the second thing. "
"Alright!"
Li Yuan directly agreed.
He originally wanted to read it a little, because after he opened the cover, he saw a long poem. It was the opening chapter of 'Investiture of the Gods'. After the opening poem of 'Investiture of the Gods' was the content of the first chapter.
'Investiture of the Gods' was extremely attractive in terms of stories. In particular, many people actually had legends about the gods and monsters in 'Investiture of the Gods', so after Li Yuan read for a while, he was already reading with great interest. He nodded from time to time, with a look of approval.
Xiao Li stood at the side, his heart also somewhat itching for a moment. He also liked to read books.
In particular, he liked Du Qi's books.
Right now, he could only watch. So much so that Xiao Li's heart was extremely curious, what kind of content was written in this' Investiture of the Gods'. After a long while, Li Yuan finished reading the first four chapters of 'Investiture of the Gods'.
Li Yuan's wrinkled old face relaxed, revealing a look of approval on his face, saying, "Not bad, not bad, this' Investiture of the Gods' is a good book. Du Qi, you're very good. I didn't expect that you would actually have such a wonderful idea. "
Du Qi's expression was calm, and he said neither servile nor overbearing, "Your Majesty praises me too much. Among the hundred schools of thought, the school of novels is the least worth mentioning, so writing novels is just a small path, not worth mentioning. To be able to make Your Majesty laugh heartily, this punk's only wish is enough! "
Li Yuan said, "This' Investiture of the Gods' of yours is a good book. Especially the content involved in it, I like it very much. Erlang, tell me, in this world, are there true immortals? "
Du Qi replied, "Your Majesty, maybe there are, maybe there aren't. It's just that this punk doesn't cultivate, so I'm not clear. This punk's' Investiture of the Gods' is also based on some legends. "
Li Yuan nodded his head, saying in agreement, "You're right, this is the truth."
Pausing for a moment, Li Yuan continued, "This' Investiture of the Gods' of yours is very good. In the future, when you enter the palace to deliver books, remember to also deliver the latest content of 'Investiture of the Gods' in addition to 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. These two books, I want them both. "
Du Qi said, "This punk will remember."
Li Yuan was very happy in his heart.
Today, he saw another good book, and in the future, he would have something to pass the time every day. Especially when reading books, looking at this wonderful plot, he really couldn't stop, making Li Yuan very happy.
Li Yuan was in a happy mood, saying, "Erlang, what's your second matter?"
Du Qi replied, "Replying to Your Majesty, this punk's second matter is that in this half a month's time, this punk has been summoned by His Highness the Crown Prince in succession, no less than two times."
"The first and second time, His Highness the Crown Prince courteously invited this punk, hoping that this punk will enter the Eastern Palace as an official. After all, this punk is young, and has rejected the Crown Prince twice in a row. "
"This punk is worried that this matter will happen a third time."
"If by chance the third time, the Crown Prince invites this punk again, at that time, this punk really doesn't know how to refuse. As the saying goes, I've repeatedly rejected the Crown Prince. If by chance I anger the Crown Prince, this punk can't bear the Crown Prince's rage. "
Du Qi said seriously, "This punk earnestly requests Your Majesty to save this punk's life."
He did not mention the matter of Wei Zheng's threat, did not mention the matter of Li Jiancheng wanting to make a move, because it was easy to be thought of as a complaint.
He only talked about the matter of Li Jiancheng recruiting him.
This way, Li Yuan would not be suspicious.
With Li Yuan's shrewdness, with a turn of his mind, he had already determined why Li Jiancheng wanted to recruit Du Qi.
Was it for Du Qi?
No!
The reason why Li Jiancheng courteously recruited Du Qi was because of Du Qi's Midas touch, as well as the restaurants, tea shops, and even bookstores under Du Qi's name. Because these three were all profitable, countless people coveted them, and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng was no exception.
Li Yuan's face darkened.
He felt that Li Jiancheng's actions were equivalent to bullying a child, and his scope was too small.
Li Yuan looked at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, why are you unwilling to enter the Eastern Palace as an official? You must know that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is the heir apparent of the country, the future emperor. You entered the Eastern Palace early, and in the future, there will be a place for you in the Imperial Court. "
Du Qi shook his head and smiled, replying, "Your Majesty, last time at the restaurant, you wanted this punk to be an official. At that time, this punk already refused, how can I agree to the Crown Prince? "
"Isn't this behavior deceiving the emperor?"
"What's more, this punk is still too young, likes to sleep in, likes to play around, doesn't like to be restrained, so I don't like to be an official at all. Isn't this kind of free and unfettered life pretty good? "
"Being an official is really too tiring."
Du Qi had the appearance of a little adult, saying solemnly, "Your Majesty, look at my father, he is busy all day long, not a shadow can be seen all day, and when he returns home, he is incomparably tired. Sigh, it's better not to be an official, do whatever you want. "
After Li Yuan heard this, he immediately laughed.
Du Qi's reply was excellent.
It also made Li Yuan's mood very good.
That's right, he had once tried to recruit Du Qi and let Du Qi enter the Imperial Court as an official, but Du Qi rejected him, how can he agree to the Crown Prince?
