Wei Dayong's mind raced as he pondered.
To be honest, he was very grateful to Du Qi. Because of Du Qi, the hundreds of imperial guards in the palace could get rid of the boring days in Chang 'an and have a good life now.
If it weren't for Du Qi, he and his brothers would still be stationed in Chang 'an.
Although it sounded scary to be an imperial guard in the imperial city, it was also very honorable. In fact, only he knew the bitterness and difficulty of this matter. After all, there was no money to be gained as an imperial guard and they rarely had a vacation.
Most of the time, they stood guard like wooden men.
However, things were different in Yanmen City. There was no one to restrict them. They could do whatever they wanted without any restrictions. In the short span of a few months, no matter if it was Wei Dayong or the brothers under his command, although they were diligent in training, all of them had put on weight and became a bit fatter.
Du Qi continued, "Well, since Brother Wei is unwilling, I won't force you. I will write a letter to His Majesty about this matter and ask His Majesty to make a decision for me. "
After that, Du Qi picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea.
This meant that he was sending off the guest.
Seeing this, Wei Dayong was a little hesitant. But when he saw Du Qi's expression, he sighed in his heart. He didn't want to offend Du Qi, so he said, "Mr. Du, I am willing to write. The Academy of the Tang dynasty was poached by the East Palace and Wang Ji went to Yanmen City to ask for help. I will add this to the letter and submit it to His Majesty. "
Du Qi smiled.
It was done.
Du Qi said, "Brother Wei, about the letter to His Majesty, I still say the same thing. It will be fine as long as it is impartial. Brother Wei only needs to report it truthfully. You don't need to state your position. In this way, Brother Wei won't be affected and His Majesty won't suspect anything. "
Wei Dayong said, "I understand!"
After that, Wei Dayong stood up and said, "Mr. Du, I will go back now and report to the Academy."
Du Qi said, "Brother Wei, wait a minute!"
Wei Dayong asked, "Does Young Master Du have any other instructions?"
To be honest, Wei Dayong was a little afraid of Du Qi from the bottom of his heart. Despite Du Qi's young age, the ability and skills displayed by Du Qi shocked even Wei Dayong.
Du Qi did not hesitate to kill Zhou Yunhe. After taking down Sima Chang Sheng, Du Qi was even more decisive. Moreover, he even convinced the Gate of Yan's garrison, Lu Ye, to step in.
Du Qi didn't even bat an eyelid when he led his men to slaughter the people of the Wang Clan, as well as the people in charge of the Gate of Yan.
Wei Dayong did not dare to underestimate such a person.
In addition, Wei Dayong himself had benefited from Du Qi. Therefore, when all these feelings were added together, it was an extremely complicated feeling.
Du Qi picked up a palm-sized brocade box from the table and walked to Wei Dayong. He handed the brocade box to Wei Dayong and said, "Brother Wei has been in Gate of Yan. Thank you for taking care of me. Please accept this as a token of my appreciation."
Wei Dayong opened the brocade box.
He took out the paper in the brocade box and looked at it carefully. It was a title deed and a coupon from the Tang dynasty bank.
The title deed was for a house in Gate of Yan.
Wei Dayong was now familiar with the situation in Gate of Yan. As soon as he saw the location of the house on the title deed, he knew that the house was very valuable. With his official salary, he could not buy a house even if he did not eat or drink for several years. However, the coupon from the Tang dynasty bank was 10,000 strings of cash.
With this coupon, Wei Dayong could directly go to the Tang dynasty bank to exchange it.
Both of them were very valuable.
Wei Dayong's hand holding the title deed and coupon trembled. Then, he immediately put the title deed and coupon back into the brocade box and handed them to Du Qi, saying, "Young Master Du, this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Du Qi did not take it and said, "Brother Wei, it's just a small token of my appreciation. The house is for you. After all, I may stay in Gate of Yan for several years. You have a house in Gate of Yan. If you want to settle down and start a business, your family can also have a place to live. You can't let your family live with your subordinates, right? "
Hearing this, Wei Dayong hesitated.
During his time in Gate of Yan, he really met a woman. However, this woman was a washerwoman. Her background was very ordinary, but she was pure and simple. Wei Dayong liked her very much.
Du Qi's words poked at Wei Dayong's soft spot.
Du Qi said again, "Brother Wei, you have so many subordinates. Each and every one of them does not have it easy. They all work hard to earn money. Brother Wei can reward the brothers in the army with this ten thousand strings of coins. It's a small token of appreciation for them. The specific arrangements are Brother Wei's business. I won't interfere. "
After a pause, Du Qi said again, "It's just a small token of appreciation. Brother Wei, you don't have to refuse. If you refuse again, you'll be treating me as an outsider. "
Wei Dayong took a deep breath and cupped his fists, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Du."
He did not refuse anymore.
After all, this was Du Qi's token of appreciation.
Most importantly, Du Qi did not let him do anything that went against his conscience and betrayed Li Yuan. The news he submitted was also true. After all, Wang Ji really came to Gate of Yan for help.
If this did not happen, Wei Dayong would not fabricate facts to frame the East Palace. After all, the East Palace was the crown prince. He was not someone a small military officer like him could provoke.
Wei Dayong said, "Young Master Du, take it and I'll go back."
"Take care, I won't send you off!"
Du Qi nodded with a smile on his face.
Wei Dayong put the brocade box into his sleeve and left in large strides.
Du Qi sat alone in the room with a brilliant smile on his face. With Wei Dayong's appearance, the news was sent back to Chang 'an. He was looking forward to Li Yuan's reaction.
Wei Dayong returned to the place where the hundred officers and soldiers were stationed and put away the land deed. As for the exchanging tickets, he directly rushed into the hundred people's money. He did not embezzle this sum of money.
After all, Wei Dayong was not short of money now.
Wei Dayong sat down and began to think about the news he wanted to write. Recently, he did not submit any news. He had accumulated a lot of things that needed to be reported. For example, Wang Zongxi's death, the Five Surnames and Seven Looks in charge of Gate of Yan being killed, and even the matter of Wang Ji coming to ask for help that Du Qi mentioned earlier.
These big and small matters all needed to be reported by Wei Dayong.
However, in the army, other than Wei Dayong, there was another person called He You.
He was a military officer.
He was in charge of assisting Wei Dayong.
Many of the documents, as well as the news to be submitted, were dictated by Wei Dayong and written by He You before being reported.
Wei Dayong sorted out the general direction of the matter to be written. When he had a clear idea, he called He You over and told him about many things that had happened. He also told him about Wang Ji asking for help from Du Qi.
They all needed to be written.
After listening, He You said, "Captain, most of the news is not a problem. As for Wang Ji coming to Gate of Yan to ask for help from Du Qi, it involves the Eastern Palace. It is a small matter. Should we report it? Once the news is reported, I'm afraid the Eastern Palace will target us. "
Wei Dayong said, "Old He, between us brothers, let's not talk nonsense. If you don't report this matter, it's equivalent to offending Du Qi. Tell me, is offending Du Qi scarier, or offending the Eastern Palace scarier? "
He You's cheeks twitched.
The Eastern Palace was very powerful!
But Du Qi was even more powerful.
During this period, He You had been staying at Gate of Yan. He had personally witnessed Du Qi's methods. He killed people like scything flax and destroyed large clans as if they were drinking water. It was incomparably shocking.
He You thought for a moment and sighed. "Captain, could it be that Du Qi invited you over because of Wang Ji?"
Wei Dayong nodded and said, "It is indeed because of Wang Ji. Du Qi made a request, and we can only do as he says. After all, by following Du Qi, we have all received benefits from Du Qi, so we can't refuse. "
He You sighed. "This matter is not easy!"
Wei Dayong said, "I know that after the news is reported, we will offend the Eastern Palace. But the problem is that Du Qi is not easy to deal with. We can't afford to offend him. "
He You said, "That's true!"
"Write it!"
He You thought for a moment and said.
