Du Qi continued, "Mr. Liu, what's the third point?"
Liu Zhengxi said, "Your Highness, the third point is to create a stable environment. So right now, we have to continue to strengthen the training of the army and increase its strength. "
"On one hand, we have to protect the country, protect our homeland, and ensure that Jiuquan County, Suzhou, and Longyou Road are not attacked by bandits. On the other hand, we have to gradually increase the encirclement and suppression of bandits, so that the people can live in peace. "
"As long as there are no bandits in the area, it will be cheaper for the people to travel. The whole of Jiuquan and Suzhou will become better."
Liu Zhengxi said, "And this point is the foundation of the first and second points. If there is no stable environment, it will not be easy to let the people live a good life. "
Du Qi said, "Good analysis!"
Liu Zhengxi's analysis was equivalent to finalizing the next path and confirming the next direction.
Du Qi continued, "Go back and carefully draft the plan. What needs to be done by Xue Rengui and Xiao Yuanqi, just throw it to them. What needs to be done by Ye Daosheng, just give it to him. In short, each of you has your own duties. With your arrangements, and now Guo Xiaozheng is going to reorganize the government and investigate the local officials. With all these policies, Suzhou will definitely be better. "
Liu Zhengxi said, "I'll go write the plan now."
"Go!"
Du Qi nodded.
After Liu Zhengxi took his leave, Du Qi did not rest. This was because although Liu Zhengxi and Guo Xiaozheng's affairs had been properly arranged, they still needed to be carefully sorted out. They had to think about whether there were any loopholes so that Du Qi could discover them in advance and then make countermeasures.
While Du Qi was preparing himself, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Du Qi said, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open.
It was Huang Shi, dressed in black, with a sword at his waist, striding in.
Du Qi looked up and saw Huang Shi. He raised his eyebrows and was slightly surprised. He carefully sized up Huang Shi in front of him, roughly guessing the other party's identity, and said, "Sir, is there something important for you to come here so late at night?"
Huang Shi said indifferently, "Isn't Ping Xi Wang worried that I'll kill you?"
Du Qi said, "Your Excellency's attire, as well as Your Excellency's thick and slender hands in front of you. Especially since he always carries a sword with him. He must be an assassin. "
"Yes!"
Huang Shi nodded and said, "It's still the same question. Isn't Ping Xi Wang afraid that I'll assassinate you?"
Du Qi said, "Scared, of course I'm scared. The problem is that there's no point in being scared. Most importantly, if Your Excellency wants to kill me. The moment you entered the room, you should have taken me by surprise and assassinated me instead of slowly entering and talking to me. "
Huang Shi said, "You deserve to be called Ping Xi Wang, your observation is meticulous, Huang Shi admires you."
"Sire's name is Huang Shi," Du Qi said, "Then, which Huang, which Shi are you?"
Huang Shi said, "Huang as in Huang, Shi as in Shi."
Du Qi nodded and continued, "Your Excellency wants to kill me, but you haven't made your move for the time being. This is somewhat puzzling. Could it be that Your Excellency has changed your mind? "
Huang Shi didn't conceal anything and said directly, "Previously, when I was on the roof, I heard Ping Xi Wang and your Military Advisor discussing something. You, Du Qi, are a good official. "
"If you die, it'll be a pity. It's fine if it's the loss of the Imperial Court, but the key is the loss of the common people."
"So, I decided not to kill you."
"Originally, I could have left directly. The reason why I came to see you is because I won't kill you. However, the assassination mission won't disappear. There will be other people who will come to kill you."
"Whether it's now or in the future, in short, the mission will continue. There will be a day when someone will come."
Huang Shi continued, "Although Ping Xi Wang's mansion has defensive power, the power to guard against assassins is somewhat weak. Remember to strengthen the mansion's defensive power. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died the next time. "
"All right, I've said what I need to say. Goodbye."
Huang Shi no longer said anything.
He turned around and walked out.
When he was walking out, Huang Shi said, "Of course, Ping Xi Wang can also call people to come and catch me. Let's see if I can break out. But I want to remind Ping Xi Wang that my sword must see blood. There has never been a survivor under my sword. "
Du Qi laughed when he heard that.
Huang Shi, this swordsman, was somewhat interesting.
"Wait!"
Du Qi suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
Hearing Du Qi's words, Huang Shi's face became cold, his eyes sharp, "What, Ping Xi Wang wants to kill me?"
Du Qi smiled, "If I want to kill you, I should call people to kill you after you leave the study. On the one hand, it can ensure my safety. On the other hand, it will make it difficult for you to escape. If brother Huang is not in a hurry, why don't we sit down and have a chat? "
Huang Shi said, "Why not, of course I can."
He went straight to the seat and sat down. Facing Du Qi, Huang Shi appeared calm and composed. Even if Du Qi was Ping Xi Wang, a Prince of the Imperial Court, to Huang Shi, he was just a person.
He did not have any reverence in his heart.
Huang Shi shook his robe, indifferently said, "Ping Xi Wang wants me to sit down and have a chat. If you have any questions, speak."
Du Qi said, "Brother Huang just mentioned the assassination. Where did you receive this assassination mission?"
"The World's Number One Pagoda!"
Huang Shi appeared very casual, directly said, "In the entire Longyou Dao Realm, this is not a secret. As long as you make a little inquiry, you can find out. "
Du Qi nodded, changing the topic, "Generally, assassins do not pay attention to rules, do not pay attention to position, and do not care about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Brother Huang came to assassinate me, but after hearing my conversation with Mr. Liu, you were willing to put down the mission and not carry it out. From this, it can be seen that brother Huang has his own ideas, and is not an assassin who kills people at will. "
Huang Shi said, "You don't have to praise me. I'm already tired of listening to this kind of talk. "
But there was a smile on his face.
That expression did not look like he was tired of listening to this kind of talk, it was clearly an expression that said, 'Quickly come and praise me.'
Du Qi continued, "Those who uphold justice are mostly dog-butchers, those who betray justice are mostly scholars. On the contrary, people like brother Huang pay attention to honor and righteousness, using it as the foundation to establish themselves, it is admirable. "
Hearing these words, Huang Shi laughed out loud.
He could not help but feel happy.
Du Qi's words were very well-spoken, they were very good.
Huang Shi's impression toward Du Qi was rising steadily, he felt that Du Qi was very good. Especially Du Qi, as Ping Xi Wang, was very influential, yet he was willing to talk to him. Such an amiable and approachable Prince was indeed rare.
Huang Shi's heart harbored a little bit of curiosity, he said, "Ping Xi Wang is high up, a mainstay of the Imperial Court. But I, Huang Shi, am nothing but an assassin, a lowly lackey. Ping Xi Wang talking to me, don't you think it is lowering your status? "
Du Qi said seriously, "Whether a person is noble or not is not based on his status or power, it is based on his heart."
Huang Shi said, "What do you mean?"
Du Qi explained, "The so-called heart refers to the good or bad of the heart. A good person, even if it's the most ordinary of people, even if it's an old man with a head full of white hair, or even a woman or a child, I still think that it's a noble and noble person.
"Because such a person is pure, he is good. On the other hand, take the Turkic Khans for example, they are extremely noble, from the perspective of the Turkic people, they are heroes. But for the millions of people of the Tang dynasty, people like the Turkic Khans lead their troops to invade the borders, slaughtering countless people. Even if such a person is noble, I still look down on him. "
"Let's change the analogy, take Jiang Zhengdao."
Du Qi said, "Jiang Zhengdao is a County Magistrate, he can be considered a person with status. But Jiang Zhengdao abuses his power, doesn't care about the life and death of the people, and only knows how to plunder for benefits. "
"I don't think such a person has a noble status. Status is not based on whether the outside is bright or not, it is not based on the status of nobility, it is based on a person's heart, whether a person is kind or not. "
"This is the key to decide a person's moral character, noble or lowly."
Du Qi said seriously, "Although Brother Huang has accepted the mission to assassinate me, but at the critical moment of the assassination, you are willing to put down your blade, it can be seen that you have a conscience. Talking with Brother Huang, I don't think there is anything lowering my status, nor do I think there is anything disgraceful. "
Huang Shi listened and nodded repeatedly. ,
Not bad!
Not bad!
Du Qi, this Ping Xi Wang, is really not bad.
