Du Qi shook his head and said, "The method you mentioned won't work. The reason is simple. My father is extremely stubborn. It's almost impossible to secretly bring them out of Chang 'an. Also, even if you send people to bring them out, it will be in the Western Region. If he doesn't want to, he will still have to go back. "
Du Qi sighed. "Of course, I can use various reasons to force him to stay in the Western Region, but it will only make him depressed."
Hearing this, Ma Zhou frowned.
As a subject, he naturally had to share his lord's worries. Moreover, Du Ruhui's existence would greatly restrict Du Qi. In fact, when the time came for war, Du Ruhui would be a key existence that had to be considered.
Ma Zhou's eyes turned and he suddenly thought of a plan. "Your Majesty, I have another plan."
Du Qi said, "Let's hear it."
Ma Zhou said, "It's very simple. We can exchange people for people. Zhangsun Chong will come to the Western Region to exchange for Hou Junji. Although Hou Junji is more important than Zhangsun Chong in politics. But to the Zhangsun family, he is more important. "
"We can exchange Zhangsun Chong for Prime Minister Du's family and let the Emperor of the Tang dynasty give the order."
"In this way, even if Prime Minister Du is unwilling, he is loyal to the Emperor and will still come to the Western Region. After this, Prime Minister Du's favor with the Emperor will be cut off. "
Ma Zhou said, "After Prime Minister Du arrives in the Western Region, with Your Majesty's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade Prime Minister Du. Moreover, there is still the Crown Prince and the little princess. "
The Crown Prince was Du Ye.
This was a given.
After hearing Ma Zhou's words, Du Qi's mind turned and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
This could work.
Du Qi nodded. "Ma Zhou, your suggestion is good. After Zhangsun Chong arrives in Gaochang, you will have full authority to handle this matter. I only look at the final result, not the process. You can make all the necessary arrangements. "
"This subject obeys the decree!"
A smile appeared on Ma Zhou's face.
This was an opportunity for him.
Although Ma Zhou was in the cabinet and was in charge of military affairs, Du Qi's affairs were no small matter. Du Qi's affairs were all national affairs. Therefore, it was of utmost importance to settle Du Ruhui's matter.
Du Qi waved his hand, and Ma Zhou turned around and left.
After Ma Zhou left, Du Qi continued to read. As they entered August, although the daytime was hot, the temperature difference between day and night had already begun to show. After the night cooled down, it was even cooler, and there was no longer any heat.
When night fell, it was the children's favorite time to play. Especially at this time, whether it was Du Ye or Du Yan, they could walk and run. It was just that their running was a little unstable.
Du Qi took Li Yanyun, Qianxue, and the two little ones for a stroll in the palace.
This was Du Qi's daily routine.
At night, the family took a stroll and chatted. Their days were very fulfilling. However, when Du Qi took the family for a walk and was about to return, Liu Jian came and said, "Young Master, Yu Deshui requests an audience."
"Got it."
Du Qi nodded.
He turned to look at Li Yanyun and Qianxue, and asked them to take the children back. Then, he went straight to the main hall. Du Qi entered the hall and saw Yu Deshui, who was standing with a bow. He asked, "Yu Deshui, what's the news now?"
Yu Deshui bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject has just received news from a bad person. In the Western Region, the army led by Tongyehu has defeated Moheduo and won."
"After Tongyehu won, he killed eighty to ninety people from Moheduo's family. In addition, he killed ninety-eight people who followed Moheduo. On top of that, he killed sixteen hundred people. "
"The entire Qianquan can be said to be a river of blood, and there are countless casualties."
"The original Turks had already suffered great losses because of Moheduo and Tongyehu's infighting. Now, after this massacre, we've lost even more people. Even though many people have pledged their allegiance to Tong Yehu, they actually hold great hatred for him. "
Yu Deshui said, "It's just that many people are angry but don't dare to say anything."
Now, all of the people of the Best Tower under Heaven had become bad people and officials. For the Wanderers, this was an opportunity. Because entering the system of bad people was equivalent to becoming an official and having a salary, they were naturally willing.
A smile appeared on Du Qi's face.
Not bad!
Not bad!
Du Qi did not need to think to know that Zhao Dengyan must have played a part in this. Zhao Dengyan urged Tongyehu to start a massacre, and under this premise, Tongyehu killed so many people.
Du Qi thought for a while and asked, "Back then, when Tongyehu returned, he said that he would pledge allegiance to my Great Xia. Now that he has killed Moheduo, did he mention this matter? "
"Never!"
Yu Deshui shook his head and said, "According to the news sent back by the bad guys, after Tongyehu destroyed Mo Heduo, he publicly announced that he had been humiliated by the king and that he would take revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered."
"Apart from that, Zhao Dengyan specially contacted our people and spread the news that Tongyehu hates Your Majesty to the core. He once said that he would seize the opportunity to defeat Your Majesty and make Your Majesty beg for death."
Yu Deshui said, "Tong Ye is a traitorous ingrate for protecting others. Your Majesty released him, but he is not grateful and wants to bite Your Majesty back. "
Du Qi said, "This situation is actually within our expectations. Otherwise, we wouldn't have specially instigated Zhao Dengyan to defect and let him stay by Tongyehu's side. "
Yu Deshui said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Men, summon Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, and Lai Ji to the palace for a discussion."
"Yes!"
The attendants outside the palace immediately went to inform them.
The three of them were living not far from the palace, so they could enter in the shortest time possible when Du Qi summoned them. After entering the palace, the three of them bowed to Du Qi.
Du Qi gestured for the three of them to take a seat and said, "I just received news from the Western Region that Tongyehu defeated Moheduo in the Western Region and obtained victory. However, Tongyehu went on a killing spree in the Western Region and killed close to two thousand people, implicating countless others. At the moment, the war between us and the Tang dynasty will not start for the time being. Due to this reason, we can expand into the Western Region and even take down the entire Western Turkic Khaganate. I gathered all of you for this matter. "
Shangguan Yi said seriously, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to deal with the Western Turkic Khaganate. Originally, I was discussing with Lai Ji about dealing with the Ancient Turkic Khaganate. "
The Ancient Turkic Khaganate was a country to the west of the Qiuci Kingdom.
Its strength was not weak.
As the head of the cabinet, Shangguan Yi was in charge of military affairs and had a lot of foresight. He had long predicted that Du Qi would definitely send troops to the Western Region. Therefore, after Ma Zhou left, he arranged for people to gather information about the Ancient Turkic Khaganate and made arrangements.
