Qin Qiong's reputation among the people in later generations is very high, but in the current Tang Dynasty, it is average, and it is indeed because of his body that he has faded out of the center of power for a long time, so if it weren't for Li Ke, Qin Qiong's status in the Tang Dynasty would be average.

It can be seen from the reward given to him by Li Shimin that the twenty-four meritorious heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, all of whom were awarded titles when they were alive, that is, Du Ruhui died of a sudden illness, so there was no reward, but Li Shimin also named Du Ruhui the Duke of Lai Guogong a few days after Du Ruhui's death.

And Qin Qiong in the history of Zhenguan 11 years Li Shimin did not reward the vassals, in the 12th year of Zhenguan Qin Qiong died of illness, Li Shimin in the 13th year of Zhenguan only named Qin Qiong as the Duke of Hu.

Therefore, Qin Qiong is not as important as imagined in the Tang Dynasty in history, and he is far less famous than later generations.

Qin Qiong's fame in later generations was completely because of the complete popularity of novels such as the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, of course, now because of Li Ke's relationship, Qin Qiong is extremely loyal to Li Shimin, so now Qin Qiong's status in the Tang Dynasty is also very high.

"It's a shame to say this, all these years of your illness, I have actually been thinking about how good it would be if you could help me. Look at our old brothers at the beginning, how many of them were reliable? Just Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chi Jingde's two bastards, look at them, it's good if you're not angry. Li Shimin sighed and said.

"That's right." Qin Qiong was also a little helpless, he hadn't surrendered to the Tang Dynasty when he met Cheng Yanjin, so of course he knew what Cheng Yanjin's personality was like.

Li Shimin became the emperor, and Cheng Biting Jin still dared to be angry, this person has no skin and no face to get used to it.

While talking, Chang Lin next to him prepared tea and poured it for the two.

"Shubao, you are now the secretary of the Datang Public Security Department, responsible for the security of Datang throughout the country, and you have a very heavy task." Li Shimin said seriously.

"Your Majesty's trust, the minister is really panicking." Qin Qiong said.

"Okay, let's not talk about this between us, what are we talking about between our old brothers? The experience of our life can be said to have experienced everything, and we have done everything that should be done and what should not be done. ”

"To tell the truth, I, Li Shimin, have lived so far in my life, in addition to my family, that is, the relationship between you old brothers is the closest to me, and even the relationship between you and me is closer than the relationship between me and some of my children."

"At our age, what else can we recall? In another ten years, what can we recall? Li Shimin waved his hand and sighed.

"Your Majesty said yes." Qin Qiong was silent for a while and said, he didn't know why Li Shimin said this, but Li Shimin's words really made Qin Qiong feel a lot.

In the years when he was sick, Qin Qiong thought about what happened after he died, and he thought more about what Li Shimin said than Li Shimin, because all he could recall was those days.

"Therefore, we old brothers can be regarded as watching Datang build up little by little, but now Datang has become too fast, and I feel that sometimes I can't do it." Li Shimin nodded.

"Indeed, it can only be said that His Highness is a genius." Qin Qiong nodded, he was also quite emotional, he never thought that Datang would become what it is today.

When you think about it, it really feels like a dream.

"Although the current Datang is developing rapidly, and everything is on the right track, the point is that everything in Datang is thriving, but there are also many hidden crises." Li Shimin's expression became serious.

"You've got to do one thing for me just in case." Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong and said.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Qin Qiong's expression also became serious, since Li Shimin said so, it proves that this matter is very important, otherwise Li Shimin would not have come to him in person.

"I will leave you a secret decree, you have to send this secret decree to the various Daozhou of Datang through the internal channel of the Ministry of Security, this secret decree is top secret, and it can only be opened when the time is right, I will tell you when this time is."

"But before that, be strict with anyone to open it, otherwise it is a crime of deception." Li Shimin said with a serious face, "The point is that this matter cannot be known to anyone else, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, the princes, the gate valve family, etc. ”

Hearing this, Qin Qiong immediately stood up from his position, bent down and saluted with a serious face: "Minister's order!" ”

"You leave this matter to the person in charge of this matter in the Ministry of Security, and this holy decree will be spread to all counties in Datang." Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong and said.

"Minister, Commander."

"This matter is related to Li Ke, but it is inconvenient for Li Ke to do it, so I will do it, you tell the soldiers in charge of this matter, this matter is related to His Royal Highness King Qin." Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong and said.

Qin Qiong nodded, "Chen understands." ”

It seems that this matter is really related to the very important life and death issue of Datang, otherwise His Majesty and His Royal Highness would not have made such a decision, and their security department would be responsible.

"The top priority of confidentiality work is not to tell anyone, and you must not tell Li Ke, just don't know about it, understand?" Li Shimin looked at him and said, "Do you think there is a problem with this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister understands. The minister promised to complete the task, this matter should not be difficult, these soldiers of the Ministry of Public Security usually respect Your Majesty and Your Highness from the bottom of their hearts, and now I heard that it is about Your Majesty, Your Highness, and Datang, and they will definitely protect this news desperately. Qin Qiong nodded very seriously.

When Li Shimin heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, I am satisfied with what you say, of course I am satisfied with this matter.

As for what Qin Qiong said, these soldiers respect His Majesty from the bottom of their hearts, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously at all, just listen to it, who those soldiers care about the most, who they pay the most attention to, of course he knows better than anyone else.

"Well, I will send Chang Lin to you when the time comes, you just need to pay attention to secrecy." Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes! The minister will live up to the trust of His Royal Highness. Qin Qiong saluted with a serious face.

"Okay, I don't have to worry about your affairs, your personality has always been safe, otherwise I wouldn't have handed this matter over to you, okay, you can go and get busy now, try not to let others see it, otherwise it will be easy for me to leak the news if I summon you alone." Li Shimin nodded seriously.

"Yes!" After Qin Qiong saluted, he left the Xuanzheng Palace.
