Li Yuan continued: "Not only do I give you the right to act at your own discretion, I also give you 100 imperial cavalry. You only need to hold the token I give you, and you can order these 100 cavalry. "
After Du Qi heard this, he was shocked.
He did not expect that Li Yuan would give him such great authority. Not only did he let him act at his own discretion, he also gave him 100 imperial cavalry. By doing so, it was tantamount to giving Du Qi the capital to run amok in Daizhou.
To put it bluntly, Du Qi had Li Yuan's verbal edict, his power was above Du Ruhui's.
This was Li Yuan's compensation.
This was Li Yuan's help.
Du Qi took a deep breath. After calming down the surging emotions in his heart, he clasped his hands and bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle, saying: "Your Majesty's great kindness, this subject is endlessly grateful. Your Majesty, please be at ease, with Your Majesty's edict, this subject will kill as many people as come from the aristocratic families in Daizhou. "
Li Yuan said: "I will wait and see."
The aristocratic families were a malignant tumor of the Tang dynasty, Li Yuan hoped to be able to get rid of them. Because the Li family that Li Yuan belonged to was originally an aristocratic family, Li Yuan was deeply aware of the dangers and influence of the aristocratic families.
Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "It's getting late, let's continue on our way."
"Yes!"
Du Qi turned around and withdrew.
When he withdrew, he went down the hillside and stood at the place where the official road was. He bowed again at a ninety-degree angle to Li Yuan and then boarded the carriage. The group continued on their way.
Li Yuan looked at the carriage that Du Qi was in heading north, there was an expectant expression in his eyes. He said with a smile: "Xiao Li, Du Ruhui went north to Daizhou. His ability is outstanding, he will definitely be able to sit firmly in the position of Daizhou's Zongguan. Only, do you think Du Qi can really restrain the aristocratic families, or even break the aristocratic families' power in Daizhou? "
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty believes in Du Qi, then Du Qi will definitely complete Your Majesty's entrusted task."
"I hope so!"
Li Yuan heaved a long sigh.
Dealing with the aristocratic families was not something that could be done overnight, and it was also not an easy matter.
"Let's go back to the city!"
Li Yuan instructed. Xiao Li immediately helped Li Yuan up and got off the official road. They rode a carriage and rushed back.
On the other side, Du Qi and his group had already traveled a long distance. It was close to noon and they stopped to rest. When Liu Jian was preparing to make lunch, Du Ruhui walked to Du Qi's side and asked, "Erlang, His Majesty personally sent you off. Is something the matter?"
Du Qi smiled and replied, "Father, the main reason His Majesty came to see me was to delegate authority to me and allow me to do as I please in Daizhou. In addition, His Majesty has also bestowed upon me a hundred cavalrymen to ensure my safety. "
"These one hundred cavalrymen of the Imperial Army are following behind us, ready to support us at any time."
"Let them follow me for the time being."
"It won't be too late to let them out after we enter Daizhou and reach the Gate of Yan. What's more, if the aristocratic families find out about this, there might be an ambush. "
Du Qi said, "Leaving one hundred men to support us in the rear is also not bad."
Hearing this, Du Ruhui stared with wide eyes, an incredulous expression on his face. He praised, "Erlang, you brat, actually received such high regard from His Majesty. Father really doesn't know what kind of bewitching medicine you gave His Majesty, to actually make His Majesty think so highly of you. Even when you went north to Daizhou, His Majesty actually personally sent you off. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Father, how did your son give you any bewitching medicine? It's nothing more than treating people with sincerity. Father, this is the principle you taught your son, to treat people with sincerity. "
In his heart, Du Qi was clear.
It was true that Li Yuan thought highly of him, but Li Yuan was also the Emperor. As the Emperor, he had to consider the overall situation, he had to be skilled in politics, and he had to have the means of an Emperor.
Li Yuan thought highly of Du Qi, this was Li Yuan's kindness to Du Qi. However, Li Yuan also needed to borrow Du Qi to deal with the aristocratic families. This was also Li Yuan's method. However, Li Yuan's conduct was rather sincere.
He did not blindly use him.
He was also not the type to cook the hound after the cunning rabbit had outlived its usefulness. He would consider Du Qi's feelings and would give Du Qi many benefits.
This was Li Yuan's way of handling matters.
Hearing Du Qi's mouth full of lies, Du Ruhui snorted. He did not believe in treating people with sincerity. Du Qi, this brat, did not speak a single word of truth. He did not believe it at all.
Du Ruhui said, "With your one hundred Imperial Cavalry, it will be extremely helpful to us. However, you have to use these one hundred people carefully. If you can not use them, then don't use them. Because when we head to Daizhou, there are still many unknown things to face. "
Du Qi said, "Father, don't worry. Your son understands!"
Du Ruhui nodded but did not say anything else. He left and headed towards the Jeong Clan's location.
At this time, Li Yanyun and Qianxue arrived.
Du Qi glanced at them. The two women were talking and laughing together, looking very intimate. Du Qi blinked at such a situation. Li Yanyun, this little girl, was really not bad.
In other words, Qianxue intended to flatter her, so the two women had a good relationship. After all, Li Yanyun was definitely the legal wife.
This would not change.
Qianxue was somewhat flattering to Li Yanyun. Although Li Yanyun was a little younger, in fact, she was a woman from a big family. She was not a naive person and had her own means. Therefore, she got along well with Qianxue.
The two women sat down. Li Yanyun said, "Brother, it was His Majesty who came to see you off, right?"
"Yes!"
Du Qi nodded and replied.
Li Yanyun seemed to be jumping for joy as she said, "Elder brother is deeply favored by His Majesty. I'm afraid that even the crown prince and King Qi in the imperial court can't compare to you. "
Du Qi said, "You can't say that. It's just that I'm more useful to His Majesty. His Majesty trusts me and uses me. I can disappoint His Majesty, so His Majesty thinks highly of me. "
Li Yanyun nodded.
Immediately, Li Yanyun said, "Brother, Sister Qianxue and I have discussed it. After we arrive at Gate of Yan in Daizhou, we will still run the tea shop according to the model of Chang 'an. Starting from the tea shop, we will copy the model of Chang 'an one by one and run the business of Gate of Yan. "
Du Qi said, "That's fine, you two can discuss it. After all, we are familiar with business, so I won't get involved. This time, I have a lot of things to deal with in the north. "
Li Yanyun and Qianxue looked at each other, and their faces were full of joy.
The two of them now had something to do.
In fact, both Li Yanyun and Qianxue did not want to be a woman in the boudoir. They did not want to stay in the backyard so boring. They wanted to have their own things and be independent.
This was the idea of the two women.
This was also one of the reasons why the two women could be together and get along well with each other.
The group was delayed for more than half an hour at noon. After lunch, they did not waste any more time and continued on their way. This time, because there were many family members and many people accompanying them, the speed was slower. Therefore, they had to hurry.
