    ?

    Mahata, the lord of Shule Kingdom, is over fifty years old.  Even though he was well maintained, his back was already a little bent, and his facial muscles were already slack and full of creases.

    At Mahata's age, he has lost his aggressiveness and does not have Tian Chen's kind of ambition.  As a matter of fact, Mahata has always been the lord of success in his life. He has guarded the Shule Kingdom all his life. He has not made the Shule Kingdom prosperous and strong, nor has the Shule Kingdom declined. He has maintained a barely passable situation.

    After Du Qi overthrew the Turks, Mahata knew that the Shule Kingdom would not survive alone.

    To resist is courting death.

    Instead of this, it is better to give up early and surrender to Du Qi earlier, maybe there is a better way out.  So when Du Qi never sent troops to attack Shule Kingdom, Mahata had already sent envoys to ask for surrender, and then he himself brought all the civil and military officials from Shule Kingdom to Gumo Kingdom to meet Du Qi, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

    All the officials of Shule Kingdom readily agreed to Mahata's initiative to surrender without resistance.  Everyone knew that Lian Tong Ye Hu had been defeated, and it was impossible for them to resist Du Qi.  On the other hand, after they surrendered, they did not seek promotion and wealth, at least they would not harm themselves, so everyone happily followed Mahata to surrender.

    A group of people were not far from the gate of the city, and they saw the people at the gate of the city.

    Mahata looked at the gate of the city, seeing someone waiting, he sped up his pace a little.  At this time, beside Mahaduo, a thin and slender middle-aged man said: "Master Mahaduo, the person who greets you at the gate of the city is Shangguanyi, the confidant of King Xia.  The king's military advisor."

    The middle-aged man's name is Yueqiu.

    is the person in charge of bad people in Shule Kingdom.

    After Mahaduo decided to submit to Du Qi, he arranged for people to publicize the matter of submitting to Du Qi, and asked Du Qi's spies to discuss the matter. This is because Mahaduo knew that there were Du Qi's people in Shule, so Yueqiu took the initiative to meet Mahaduo  , the two sides came to Gumo country hand in hand.

    Mahata said, "Thank you for reminding me."

    Yue Qiu smiled and didn't speak any more, he was quite looking forward to it in his heart.  Now that the Shule Kingdom has surrendered to Du Qi, for the Xia Kingdom, it is tantamount to a further step in the Xia Kingdom's strength.

    Not long after, Mahaduo came to the gate of the city, stepped forward to salute and said: "Mahaduo of Shule Kingdom, I have met Mr. Shangguan."

    The rest of the people saluted one after another.

    In fact, there were not many officials who came with Mahata on this trip, only a dozen or so, and there were more than a hundred guards besides.  Compared with Gumo Kingdom, Shule Kingdom is smaller and narrower, so there are not many officials under Mahata's command.

    There are not many soldiers and horses in the Shule Kingdom, and the population is not large, but the monks are the most numerous.  There are too many common people who become monks, and then they are no longer included in the population, because these monks are not engaged in production and do not need to pay taxes and so on.

    However, Shule Kingdom has a good geographical location, relatively developed commerce, and the country as a whole is relatively prosperous, so the people of Shule Kingdom live a good life, especially because of the influence of Buddhist teachings in the country, the people are seldom aggressive.

    Shangguanyi smiled slightly, and then said: "Lord Mahata, the king has been waiting in the palace for a long time, just waiting for your arrival. Everyone, come with me."

    "please!"

    Shangguanyi gave an order.

    He and Mahata walked side by side, leading a group of people into the city.  When they came outside the palace, all the guards temporarily stationed outside the palace, and Shangguanyi led Mahaduo and his party straight to the main hall.

    Shangguanyi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Mahata has arrived."

    Mahata then stepped forward, bowed and said: "Sinner Mahata, pay homage to King Xia."

    The rest of the officials saluted one after another.

    All the people looked respectful. They had never seen Du Qi before, but when they saw Du Qi now, they were all surprised for a moment.  Because Du Qi is only around twenty years old now.  A person of this age has established a huge foundation, destroyed the Turks, and conquered the states in the Western Regions. At this age, he can only be said to be a genius.

    Du Qi stood up, walked in front of Mahaduo, helped Mahaduo himself, and said with a smile: "The Lord of Mahaduo is not a sinner. You are very aware of your submission to this king. Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Mahaduo  The Lord of Many Nations is a man of great wisdom."

    Mahaduo said: "The king of Xia praised you."

    Du Qi personally took Mahata to the first seat on the left before calling everyone to sit down.  He returned to his position, looked at the crowd and said, "I am very happy that you all followed the Lord Mahaduo. It is a blessing for the people of Shule to have such a Lord Mahaduo.  For the meritorious service of the ruler of many countries, this king has decided that Mahado will be the king of Shule and enjoy the honor of the king. In addition, Mahado will move to Gaochang and live in Gaochang.??.  After all, Gaochang is currently the capital of my country Xia.  "

    "Thank you King Xia."

    Mahadha immediately thanked him.

    Although he lost the opportunity to take charge of the Shule Kingdom, he is still the king of Rongxiang, and still enjoys the treatment of the king given by the Xia Kingdom.  Under this premise, Mahata was very happy.

    So even if he went to Gaochang, he didn't have any objection, this is normal.

    Du Qi is still benevolent.

    It's no wonder that he took the initiative to join him and preserved his own power.

    After Du Qi arranged for Mahata's official position, he turned his eyes to Shang Guanyi.  Immediately, Shangguanyi got up and announced the placement of officials from various Shule Kingdoms.  The officials of the original Shule Kingdom have all changed their official positions and no longer hold their original official positions.  Because Shule Kingdom is smaller than Gumo Kingdom and there are not many officials, Shangguanyi has made adjustments before.

    Now you only need to announce one by one.

    After the situation of the people was arranged, Du Qi arranged for someone to call Wang Qiao and introduce Wang Qiao to the Mahado people, so that the Mahado people would know the future governor of Shule Prefecture.

    With Wang Qiao present, Du Qi ordered a banquet.

    Accompanied by the attendants bringing wine and meat dishes, after Du Qi made a toast to Mahata, the banquet gradually entered into a better state.

    ?Everyone pushed cups and exchanged cups, and the atmosphere was warm.

    After toasting Du Qi, many officials also toasted to Wang Qiao one after another. Wang Qiao is now the parent official of Shule Prefecture, and their families are all in Shule Prefecture, so they naturally want to meet Wang Qiao face to face.

    After a banquet was over, Du Qi arranged everyone in the post house.  In the early morning of the next day, headed by Wang Qiao, he took many aristocratic sons who had been arranged before to Shule Kingdom to serve.  At the same time, Mahaduo and the officials under his command followed him back.  Because of the handover, Mahata had to take people back first, and then go to Gaochang.

    However, when Wang Qiao went, Xue Rengui also led the army to escort, and led the troops into Shule Prefecture to escort Wang Qiao.

    In mid-October, bad people sent back news that Wang Qiao had completed the adjustment of officials in Shule Prefecture and had completely controlled Shule Prefecture.  In addition, Xue Rengui went all the way to the west and swept away the Turkic Yazhang Qianquan. Because Tong Yehu was dead, the Turkic people who were still in Qianquan had already run away, and there was no one left.

    After taking Shule Prefecture, the Western Turks were completely destroyed. Xue Rengui left a small garrison, and he had already led his troops back to Gumo Prefecture.  At this time, it has entered the middle of November, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

    After the adjustments of Shule Prefecture and Gumo Prefecture were completed, Du Qi led his army back.  This time when Du Qi returned, Mahaduo and his group accompanied them. The officials who were originally in Gumo Prefecture and Shule Prefecture all returned to Gaochang Prefecture together, and they wanted to settle down in Gaochang Prefecture.

    After Du Qi returned to Gaochang City, he resettled Mahaduo and others, and immediately summoned the officials of the six departments, five temples, one station, and one prison to discuss matters and inquired about what happened this year.

    ? This year Xiaguo's harvest was good, the economy was also developing very well, and everything was going well.  Especially in today's Xia Kingdom, without the support of resources in the Tang Dynasty, it can already make blood by itself, and its own territory is becoming more and more prosperous.

    Especially for a long time, people have gathered here, either from the mountains, from the border of the Tang Dynasty, or from Tubo, making the population of the Western Regions more and more prosperous.

    Du Qi is happy to see the results.

    This is a good thing.

    After discussing many government affairs, Du Qi ordered everyone to perform their duties, and then went to the backyard.

    I have to go and see the kids.

    It took more than half a year to go to Gumo country, and now it is nearly December when I return to Gaochangdu, and another year has passed, the child is one year older, and Du Qi is also matured by another year.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
