Fang Xuanling echoed, "Your Highness, Erlang's analysis is reasonable. Keming's promotion is beneficial to Your Highness. The only problem is that when Keming is needed to make decisions for Your Highness, it will be difficult for Keming to provide timely advice. "
Du Qi said, "This is even less of a problem."
Fang Xuanling said, "What do you mean?"
Du Qi's eyes flashed. "When it comes to the most critical moment, Father will be needed to make decisions for Your Highness. With a letter from Your Highness, Father can sneak back to Chang 'an and make decisions for Your Highness. Of course, if it really comes to that, it will be time for us to fight it out with the Eastern Palace. "
Li Shimin praised, "Erlang's words are reasonable. Although Keming is not here, Erlang is still in Chang 'an, so things are easy to handle. When the time comes, Erlang can also replace Keming. "
Du Ruhui said, "Your Highness, Erlang can't stay."
Li Shimin said, "What do you mean?"
To the Duke of Qin's Manor, Du Qi's existence had helped them too much. It could be said that it was because of Du Qi that the Qin King's Mansion had not suffered such great losses, and the Eastern Palace was also greatly suppressed.
If Du Qi also left, it would have a huge impact on the Qin King's Mansion.
Du Ruhui said, "In His Majesty's imperial edict, in addition to appointing me as Daizhou's general manager, it also clearly stated that my family must accompany me. So this time, I and my family must leave Chang 'an for Daizhou. "
Li Shimin heard this and frowned. Because this time, the impact on Li Shimin was huge.
Du Ruhui and Du Qi were both of great help to the Qin King's Mansion.
But they had to leave.
Even though Li Shimin had now become the person to suppress Liu Heita and Li Yuan had given him a certain amount of benefits, in reality, for Li Shimin, he would rather not lead troops into battle than hope that Du Qi would leave. He did not wish for Du Ruhui and his entire family to move out of Chang 'an.
This was not just cutting off one of his arms.
The impact was huge.
Zhangsun Wuji's expression also changed slightly. Although his relationship with Du Qi was not good, and he even had some enmity towards Du Qi in his heart, Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shimin were truly tied together. One's glory, glory. Loss.
Zhangsun Wuji naturally hoped that the Qin King's Mansion would get better. The departure of Du Ruhui's family had a huge impact. Even Zhangsun Wuji did not wish for such a situation to happen.
Zhangsun Wuji said, "Erlang, can't you find a reason to stay? After all, you have enough authority to speak in front of His Majesty and have won his trust. "
Du Qi shook his head.
This was Li Yuan's arrangement through political maneuvering. He could not openly disobey orders.
Du Ruhui continued, "The imperial edict has already stated very clearly that family members will accompany them. His Majesty's arrangement is clearly intentional. He wants Erlang to accompany him. "
"… …"
Li Shimin sighed.
At this point, even if Li Shimin was unwilling, he could not stop it. After all, it was the Emperor's order.
Du Ruhui said, "Your Highness, although I'm going north, my heart is still with the Qin King's Mansion. Your Highness can rest assured about this. No matter if I'm an official outside or an official in the court, I agree with what Erlang said just now. I'm a person of the Qin King's Mansion in this life. "
He no longer addressed him as a lowly official.
He addressed him as a subject.
This was treating Li Shimin as a ruler.
Li Shimin's face also showed a touched expression. He said seriously, "Keming, I believe you. If you don't let me down, I won't let you down. "
Du Ruhui stood up, lifted his robe, and knelt on one knee. He said, "I won't let Your Highness down. Your Highness can rest assured. After I reach Daizhou, I'll spread Your Highness's great talent and strategy. I'll let the local people know Your Highness's kindness and virtue. "
Li Shimin reached out to support Du Ruhui, who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded seriously.
"Men!"
Immediately, Li Shimin ordered.
An attendant came in. Li Shimin ordered, "Go and inform the Wangfei. Have the Wangfei arrange for the kitchen to prepare the best wine and dishes. I'll send Keming off."
"Yes!"
The attendant immediately went to inform Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said, "Keming, you'll be an official outside in Daizhou. For the time being, I don't know when you'll be able to return to Chang 'an. This time, I'll send you off. I wish you success in your trip to Daizhou. "
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Du Ruhui thanked him again.
Du Qi said, "Your Highness, I'll be going north to Daizhou with my father. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble Your Highness to take care of the many businesses in Chang 'an. Without me, even with uncle as the Chang 'an County Magistrate, it'll still be a bit troublesome. "
Li Shimin said, "Don't worry, kid. I'm duty-bound."
Last time, Li Shimin had received five hundred thousand strings of cash from Du Qi. With this sum of money, Li Shimin's strength had been consolidated. After all, those who should be rewarded would be rewarded, those who should be promoted would be promoted. With the five hundred thousand strings of cash, everyone would truly feel at ease.
Li Shimin naturally had to take care of Du Qi's businesses.
After Du Qi said nothing, Li Shimin arranged for people to call over the Heavenly Policy Mansion's direct subordinates. These people were all Li Shimin's trusted aides. After everyone gathered, Li Shimin told them about Du Ruhui's arrangements, saying that this was to send Du Ruhui off.
When the wine and dishes were served, Li Shimin took the lead to propose a toast.
Everyone toasted one after another.
In the end, the host and guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly at this farewell banquet. Du Qi was still very sober. The problem was that Du Ruhui was already dead drunk. He even felt somewhat sad. He was unwilling to leave Li Shimin.
During the Great Sui Dynasty, Du Ruhui became an official early on. Later on, he could not get used to the atmosphere of the officialdom, so he resigned. When Li Yuan raised his troops in Jinyang, Du Ruhui directly sought refuge with Li Shimin and had been working for him ever since.
After so many years, the monarch and his minister already had a deep relationship.
Hence, Du Ruhui was somewhat sad.
Du Qi asked Mordor to carry Du Ruhui into the carriage. When they returned to the Du family, the sky was already completely dark. When the Jeong Clan saw the drunk Du Ruhui, they were very surprised and hurriedly asked what happened. One had to know that although Du Ruhui usually drank, he had always been extremely restrained. He had never been so drunk.
Du Qi told them about Du Ruhui being the Substitute Prefecture General and that his family was going to follow him.
He also told them about Li Shimin's farewell banquet.
After the Jeong Clan heard this, they roughly understood. They did not say much. They just asked Mordor to send Du Ruhui to his room and serve him to wash up.
Du Qi returned to his courtyard.
However, Du Qi did not rest. He had a lot of things to do. He was about to leave Chang 'an. Everything in Chang' an had to be arranged properly to avoid any accidents that would affect his business.
The sky was already dark. Qianxue also returned from the tea shop. Du Qi arranged for someone to go to Qianxue's courtyard and invite her over.
After Qianxue sat down, she said, "Young Master, why did you call me over?"
Her eyes were watery.
Extremely alluring.
The current Qianxue had already grown into a slender and elegant woman. After managing the tea shop for a period of time, she had already broken away from the charm of a brothel and had an air of competence.
In the future, she had the potential of a mature sister.
