After Li Yuan heard Chen Shuda's words, he also frowned slightly. Currently, he greatly admired Du Qi and felt that Du Qi, this fellow, had a boundless future. If Du Qi was frightened by the trip to the frontier fortress, it would be bad.
When Feng Deyi heard Chen Shuda's words, a hint of gloominess appeared between his brows. He did not expect that this old fellow Chen Shuda would actually stand out to stop his suggestion.
After all, this was Li Jiancheng's request.
Feng Deyi must complete it.
After Feng Deyi thought for a while, he retorted, "This official does not dare to agree with Attendant Chen's words. Du Qi is talented. This kind of fellow just happens to need experience. True gold needs to be refined by fire. Only by being able to withstand the test can Du Qi truly become a talent. And this time's diplomatic trip to the frontier fortress is also Du Qi's opportunity. "
When Chen Shuda heard this, he looked meaningfully at Feng Deyi and did not say anything more.
Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji and said, "Pei Qing, what do you think?"
Pei Ji's expression was calm. Facing Li Yuan's inquiry, he said neither hurriedly nor impatiently, "Your Majesty, Du Qi is an extremely talented fellow. We can discuss it here and have a heated discussion. However, the specifics will depend on what this fellow Du Qi thinks. Therefore, this official's suggestion is to summon Du Qi into the palace and ask for his opinion in person. "
Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This was not bad.
He looked at Xiao Li who was standing at the side and nodded. Xiao Li immediately went to make arrangements. Originally, Du Qi had left the imperial city not long ago. The people Xiao Li arranged hurried on horseback. In a short time, they caught up with Du Qi and conveyed Li Yuan's order.
Du Qi turned around and walked back.
After he entered the palace, he entered the Sweet Dew Hall and saw Li Yuan and the rest of the people. Before Du Qi could salute, Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Erlang, there is no need for salutes. Come and get to know all the officials of the imperial court. "
Li Yuan pointed at Pei Ji and the others and introduced them one by one. Du Qi hurriedly saluted. However, when Pei Ji saw Li Yuan's attitude, he was very shocked.
He understood Li Yuan very well.
Pei Ji was familiar with Li Yuan's nature. Seeing Li Yuan directly call out Du Qi, Erlang, and even introduce Du Qi one by one, Pei Ji understood that this Du Qi's weight in Li Yuan's heart was extraordinarily heavy.
After Li Yuan introduced them one by one, he continued, "Du Erlang, just now I and the various ministers mentioned the matter of the Tujue people going south to invade Daizhou's border. We have agreed to dispatch an envoy to go. The feudal official mentioned that Zhangsun Shunde will be the main envoy, and you will be the deputy. However, Minister Chen has a different opinion. He thinks that you are too young and doesn't agree with you going. What kind of attitude do you have? "
Du Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Feng Deyi actually suggested that he go.
This was unexpected.
One must know that Du Qi was only a twelve or thirteen year old child. Not only that, Du Qi was only a rank seven official of Xuanyi. His status was not worth mentioning. Yet, Feng Deyi suggested that he go.
Du Qi's mind spun rapidly as he pondered Feng Deyi's suggestion. He suddenly thought of something. In history, Feng Deyi was indecisive, wavering between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.
Perhaps Feng Deyi suddenly mentioned him because of Li Jiancheng. Apart from this, Du Qi really couldn't think of why Feng Deyi, a big shot in the imperial court, as someone who Li Yuan thought highly of, would send him as an envoy for no reason.
He shouldn't be allowed to go on national affairs. It had nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, Chen Shuda was there.
Although Chen Shuda did not rely on the Duke of Qin's residence. In reality, Chen Shuda was a fair person and an extremely upright person. He was also someone who greatly admired Li Shimin.
Du Qi admired such a person.
After thinking for a while, Du Qi already had an idea. He said, "Your Majesty, the Turks are going south to invade the Daizhou border. Since Assistant Minister Feng mentioned it, I am naturally duty-bound. As the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Although this one is young, when it comes to the safety of the Great Tang, even though this one is young, I am willing to contribute my strength. "
"Good!"
After hearing this, Li Yuan showed a look of approval.
Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.
This was very well said.
Li Yuan originally admired Du Qi. Now, looking at Du Qi, he admired him even more. His old face was full of smiles.
A bright light flashed in Pei Ji's eyes.
He had long heard of Du Qi's name.
Pei Ji even read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with great interest. On the contrary, Pei Ji was very bored and had no interest in the Investiture of the Gods. Pei Ji knew that Du Qi was a child prodigy with outstanding talent and learning. But now, hearing Du Qi's words, he also praised.
Xiao Yu stroked the beard under his chin and nodded, but did not speak.
Chen Shuda did not hide his admiration and praised, "Erlang of the Du family is indeed extraordinary. Putting aside all your previous things, I admire you for saying that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. "
Du Qi said, "Assistant Minister Chen is praising me."
A trace of coldness flashed across Feng Deyi's brows. Although he knew about Du Qi's talent and learning, he did not pay much attention to Du Qi. He was just a child. Now, Du Qi's response in front of Li Yuan made Feng Deyi very vigilant.
Du Qi, this kid, was not simple.
Feng Deyi did not speak, because Du Qi had now agreed. Then, when Du Qi went to the Northern Turks as a diplomatic envoy, he had completed Li Jiancheng's task. Even whether Du Qi could return safely after leaving Chang 'an was unknown.
Li Yuan stared at Du Qi and said again, "Erlang, have you really thought it through?"
Once these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Li Yuan was the emperor.
Previously, he called Du Qi Erlang and not Du Qi's name. This already revealed his close relationship with Du Qi, which made everyone quite shocked. Now, Li Yuan changed the way he addressed and called Erlang directly, as if he was addressing his own son.
Such a situation, such a relationship, made everyone re-examine Du Qi.
Because they discovered that it was absolutely impossible to guess the relationship between Du Qi and Li Yuan with common sense. The gap between Du Qi and Li Yuan's relationship was indeed very close.
Du Qi knew that this time, the Eastern Palace had asked Feng Deyi to act. If he refused, there would be a next time. Moreover, this involved the Eastern Turks. Even if the Northern Turks were dangerous, Du Qi also wanted to go and take a look.
Du Qi said seriously, "Your Majesty, this kid is willing! This kid once said in front of Your Majesty that if one is poor, one should take care of oneself; if one is successful, one should help the world. This kid has not achieved meteoric success, but this kid has some strength. Since the imperial court needs it, this kid is willing to make a trip to the Northern Territory. "
Li Yuan said, "Good, good, good!"
Li Yuan said the word 'good' three times in a row, the praise on his face even more uncontrollably showing.
Li Yuan looked around at everyone and said emotionally, "Giving birth to a child should be like Erlang!"
When these words came out, when they all looked at Du Qi, they were already somewhat numb. This was because Du Qi had now received Li Yuan's praise. Layers of protective halos had already enveloped Du Qi.
As long as Du Qi returned safely from the Turks, then in the future, it would be easy for Du Qi to achieve meteoric success.
