Du Qi was greatly moved by Li Shimin's words. In history, Li Shimin had started the reign of Zhenguan and ushered in its golden age. He was a wise ruler and the Heavenly Khan.
However, it was impossible for someone to become an emperor without resorting to underhanded means.
Under the noblest of imperial powers, there were bound to be piles of bones. Even so, Li Shimin had his own principles, his own principles, and those were the principles of a ruler.
Du Qi admired such a person.
Du Qi thought for a moment, then asked, "Your Highness, have you made up your mind?"
"I have!"
Li Shimin replied solemnly.
For Li Shimin, there were things he could do and things he could not do. He had his own principles.
Li Shimin could fight the Eastern Palace to the death, but he would not disregard the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers just to fight the Eastern Palace. This was something Li Shimin was unwilling to do.
Du Qi's expression was solemn. "Since Your Highness has your own principles, then there's nothing to say. In short, Your Highness can do as you wish. This little one will follow behind. "
Li Shimin nodded.
He did not say anything else.
Du Qi said, "Your Highness, this little one will go back first. This little one will arrange for someone to send the five hundred thousand strings of string of cash later. "
"Okay!"
Li Shimin nodded.
Du Qi immediately got up and bid farewell. Although it was freezing outside, Du Qi did not feel that cold since he was wearing a down jacket. Du Qi hid in his room when he returned home.
However, Du Qi also made a trip to the Jeong Clan. After all, the Jeong Clan was the steward of this matter, so the Jeong Clan had to take care of it. Madam Zheng stomped her feet in anger when she only supported the Duke of Qin's residence with 500,000 strings of cash.
In the end, they agreed.
However, the Jeong Clan told Du Qi that there would be no next time. If the Duke of Qin's residence needed more money, he could ask her directly. She had plenty of excuses to refuse.
Du Qi chuckled.
His mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Although she wanted to refuse, she thought about Du Ruhui. Even if the Duke of Qin's residence needed money next time, the Jeong Clan would definitely agree. However, in the end, the Jeong Clan would definitely vent their frustrations.
Du Qi returned to his own courtyard and did not go out again.
Time passed, and the sky gradually darkened.
However, in the evening, a servant came to report that Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Zhao, had sent a message and invited Du Qi over for a chat.
Hearing this, Du Qi had no choice but to go.
Du Qi put on his down jacket and left the residence. He headed to the Zhao Residence. Fortunately, the Commandery Prince Zhao's Mansion was not far from Yongxing City. Therefore, it did not take long for Du Qi to arrive outside the Commandery Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Du Qi, on the other hand, took off his down jacket and put on a large cloak before getting off the carriage and hurrying along. After all, this was a formal occasion. Down jackets could be used to keep warm, but they were not suitable for formal occasions.
Liu Jian knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened and a servant led Du Qi to the backyard. They went straight to the backyard where Wang Shi, the Princess of Zhao, lived. Du Qi was a little surprised.
Why did Wang Shi, the Princess of Zhao, want to see him?
However, Du Qi suppressed his thoughts and bowed. "Greetings, Your Highness. May I know why Your Highness has summoned me?"
Wang Shi said, "Erlang, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
As usual, Du Qi sat down obediently.
Wang Shi said, "You and Yanyun are engaged. You don't have to be so restrained. Even though you and Yanyun are not married yet, we are family now. "
Du Qi said, "You are right, Your Highness."
Wang Shi continued, "Since we are family, I won't stand on ceremony. I asked you to come here this time because I have something to ask of you. "
Du Qi said, "Please go ahead, Your Highness."
Wang Shi said seriously, "My younger brother is a little old. He is almost twenty years old. However, he has been idling around and has nothing to do. Originally, my family wanted to arrange something for him, but he was unwilling. So now, I hope that you can help. "
Du Qi frowned slightly.
Du Qi had always hated this kind of thing. When he first started to run his business, his mother's Jeong Clan sent someone to the Jeong Clan to arrange something for him. However, the Jeong Clan handled it differently.
Although the Jeong Clan wanted to take into account the feelings of the Zheng Clan, they arranged something for him. However, the Jeong Clan told Du Qi everything and asked Du Qi to find a reason to get rid of him.
The Jeong Clan cared about Du Qi.
After all, his mother doted on him.
However, it was different for Wang Shi. Wang Shi's plan was not to take into account the Wang Family's reputation, but to arrange someone from the Wang Family. Otherwise, Wang Shi would not have said something like that.
Du Qi immediately said, "How do you want me to help, Your Highness?"
Wang Shi said, "What I mean is that since the down jacket store is open for business, why don't we let him be a shopkeeper? He can learn how to run a business so that he can earn money to support the family in the future. After all, he has no talent for studying, so he can do something else. "
Du Qi sneered in his heart.
A shopkeeper!
A shopkeeper as soon as he arrived!
It was easy to say. After all, other than Fu Dacheng, the head shopkeeper, the other shopkeepers were all powerful and could take charge of their own business. However, arranging for someone from the Wang Family to go was tantamount to causing trouble.
Du Qi said, "Where is he, Your Highness?"
Wang Shi immediately said, "He is in the Wang Family Residence. If Erlang wants to see him, I will call him here immediately."
"Okay!"
Du Qi nodded in response.
Wang Shi quickly gave the order. Not long after, a fat man in his twenties, who was as round as a ball, entered. As soon as he entered, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Wang Shi introduced, "Erlang, this is Wang Yue. He is my younger brother."
Du Qi's cheeks twitched.
This future mother-in-law of his was really throwing all kinds of trash at him. She didn't care about his own situation at all. Especially when Du Qi looked at Wang Yue, he really couldn't find anything outstanding about him. Wang Yue's chubby face caused his eyes to be squinted into slits. There were also some freckles on his face. His appearance was really unflattering.
It was really frustrating.
Wang Shi said again, "Erlang, if there are any difficulties, you don't have to make it difficult for him. However, this brother of mine is really difficult to arrange, so I hope you can help him a little. After all, letting him be a shopkeeper won't affect much. "
Du Qi shook his head inwardly.
His future mother-in-law was really giving him a difficult problem, making it very difficult for him to deal with.
Du Qi thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, it is easy to arrange for Wang Yue. It was easy for him to enter the down jacket shop to do something. However, he can't be a shopkeeper right from the start. Your Highness, you need to understand that he has done nothing, so he can't be a shopkeeper, and he doesn't have the ability to be one. "
Wang Shi said, "Erlang, he is your uncle! Can't he be a shopkeeper? "
Du Qi said seriously, "Your Highness, you should know that there are no relatives of the Du family in any of my shops. Because I have put an end to the Du family, no one casually interferes. This is the only way to ensure that the shops operate well. Letting Wang Yue enter the down jacket shop is already a precedent. "
