In the Sweet Nectar Palace.
Li Yuan's original habit was to read the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper as soon as it came out in the morning. He wanted to know what news was published in the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper and understand the many interesting things that happened in Chang 'an and Tang dynasty.
At the beginning of the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper, in addition to the news that Xiao Li gave Du Qi, there were also novels and collected information about what happened in Chang 'an. But as time went by, the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper would publish the interesting things and news that happened in the entire Tang dynasty. Therefore, there was a lot of news in the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper.
But today, Li Yuan had a lot of government affairs to deal with early in the morning and had been discussing the Turks. As a result, Li Yuan had no time to relax.
He didn't read the newspaper the whole morning.
After lunch, he woke up from his nap and ordered Xiao Li to bring today's Tang dynasty's daily newspaper.
When Li Yuan saw the contents of the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper, he knew about Cai Bida. After Li Yuan finished reading, he frowned and said, "This Cai Bida not only betrayed his old master, but also bullied people after coming to the First Tea House. He even defaulted on his wages. He's really abominable. I don't know what Jiancheng is thinking. Letting such a person run the First Tea House and make money through it is really disappointing. "
Xiao Li stood aside and didn't speak.
He just watched quietly.
After all, Xiao Li always didn't get involved in Li Jiancheng's affairs.
Li Yuan suddenly said, "Du Qi this brat is also really foolish enough. He knows that publishing such news will offend the East Palace, but he still continues to do it. Alas, this kid really doesn't make people worry. "
There was a strong sense of protectiveness in his words.
Li Yuan appreciated Du Qi very much.
Xiao Li praised, "With Your Majesty's protection, Du Qi will have no problem. It's also because of Your Majesty's protection that the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper established by Du Qi can publish news impartially, not afraid of rumors and slanders, and not afraid of pressure from all sides. In the end, it's still Your Majesty who is wise! "
"Hahaha …"
Hearing this, Li Yuan stroked his beard and laughed.
As he listened to Xiao Li's words, the frustration he felt from dealing with the affairs of the imperial court relaxed.
Li Yuan continued to read. When he finished reading the news about Cai Bida, he praised, "Chang 'an County Magistrate Wang Minzhi dares to make decisions for the people, especially when Cai Bida has the protection of the Eastern Palace. He still dares to punish him. Wang Minzhi is quite courageous and insightful. He also has the heart to benefit the people."
Xiao Li said, "The Great Sage is in the imperial court, and all the officials in the country are honest and upright."
Li Yuan said, "You old thing!"
"Reporting!"
At this moment, a eunuch entered and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Du Qi requests an audience."
"Declare!"
Li Yuan instructed.
Following the eunuch's orders, Du Qi entered the palace not long after. He bowed respectfully and said seriously, "Your subject, Du Qi, greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan said, "Stinking brat, if We can live for ten thousand years, then wouldn't We be an old monster?"
Changing the topic, Li Yuan said, "Today's chapters, present them."
The content that Li Yuan was reading had already been pulled to the back. Whether it was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Investiture of the Gods, they were all far more than the content updated in the bookstore. Especially now, Du Qi would give one or two more chapters of content from time to time to make Li Yuan happy.
Li Yuan quickly browsed through. After he finished reading, he praised, "Not bad, not bad. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms book came out with Zhuge Liang. It's really wonderful."
"Your Majesty praises me too much!"
Du Qi replied modestly.
For him, being a plagiarist was actually a very simple thing.
Li Yuan put away the latest content of the Investiture of the Gods and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms books. He changed the topic and said, "Today, the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper published the matter of Wang Minzhi dealing with Cai Bida. You've done a good job in this matter. However, in the end, you will definitely offend the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. You brat, calm down, don't always hit the wall. "
With a helpless look, Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, you can't blame this brat! Since the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper was published, this brat's published news has offended the court officials, the nobles, and the royal family members. I've offended too many people. "
Speaking to here, Du Qi sighed and said, "This brat has offended the Eastern Palace because of Cai Bida's matter, so there's no other way. The Tang dynasty's daily newspaper can't have any scruples about publishing things. Naturally, it must uphold a fair and impartial attitude and can't be biased. "
Li Yuan said, "Well said!"
He sighed again and said, "If all the officials in the world have your sincere heart, Erlang, then the Tang dynasty's world will not be far from great governance."
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty is wise. The great governance of the Tang dynasty is just around the corner. In fact, this brat's newspaper sales is also selfish. After all, the Tang dynasty's daily newspaper is getting more and more prosperous. This brat can earn a lot of money. "
Li Yuan said, "That's what you deserve."
Speaking to here, Li Yuan suddenly thought of Dingxiang County Prince Li Daen's request for help. He said sternly, "Erlang, although you're not old, your knowledge is not shallow and you're very smart. Zhen wants to ask you something. "
Du Qi lowered his posture and said humbly, "Your Majesty, please speak. This brat is listening with respectful ears."
Li Yuan said, "Now the Eastern Turks are invading the border in the north and are even approaching Taiyuan. Dingxiang County Prince Li Daen is guarding Daizhou's Yanmen. The pressure is great, so he sent people to the court for help. Brat, you're quite smart. Tell me, what should we do about this matter? "
After Du Qi heard this, he frowned.
To tell the truth, according to Du Qi's idea, if the Turks and other foreign races wanted to attack the Tang dynasty, then there was only one word — kill!
Just kill back.
The problem was, the matter was not so simple. The current Tang dynasty's strength was not strong. It was even facing enemies on all sides. Especially when Li Shimin led the army to fight outside, the internal strength of the Tang dynasty was even weaker. It did not have the strength to counterattack the Turks.
To counterattack, the conditions were not yet met.
After thinking for a while, Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, no matter what the situation of the Tang dynasty is, according to this brat's idea, we have to kill back. Those who are not of our race must have different intentions. If the Turks want to kill, we just have to kill back. "
"Brat!"
Li Yuan snorted and said, "At the beginning, you said that you don't care about the situation of the Tang dynasty. But the problem is, it involves the Turks' invasion of the border. How can you not consider the situation of the Tang dynasty? Say it again, tell me clearly. If you don't say it clearly, you won't pass. "
Du Qi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang dynasty has just been established, and there are enemies on all sides. Now the world is not yet settled, and the smoke of war continues. The Tang dynasty does not have the foundation to fight the Turks for the time being. "
"However, we can't be afraid of the Turks."
"Otherwise, the Turks will cause more disasters and be more unscrupulous. They will not put the Tang dynasty in their eyes."
Du Qi said, "The more it is at this time, the more Commandery Prince Dingxiang in the north must show the courage to fight to the death. Even if the whole army may be lost, we must show the momentum to fight the Turks. "
"Even if we are weaker than the enemy, we still dare to fight. We are not willing to fight, but we are not afraid of fighting. Only in this way will the Turks have some fear. "
"Only in the Tang dynasty can we have a chance to breathe."
Du Qi said seriously, "In one or two years, the Tang dynasty will sweep away all the disloyal people in the world. At that time, it will be much easier for the Tang dynasty to deal with the Turks. It can be said that with every year that passes, the strength of the Tang dynasty will be a bit stronger. "
Li Yuan nodded.
Du Qi's analysis was approved by Li Yuan, and it was also the result of the court officials' analysis. The current Tang dynasty did not have the confidence to fight the Turks for real. They could only temporarily stabilize the Turks.
Li Yuan said, "Alright, you may leave!"
"Yes!"
After Du Qi bowed, he turned around and left.
After Du Qi left, Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li and said with a smile, "Erlang, this kid, is just a bit young. When he is older, he will be able to become the mainstay of the Tang dynasty. The most important thing is that this kid does not seek vanity, fame and fortune, nor does he lack money. Only such a person can do things sincerely in the officialdom. "
Xiao Li chuckled and nodded in agreement.
But in his heart, he sighed with emotion. Li Yuan's high regard for Du Qi was really not comparable to ordinary people.
