Time passed, and it was late February in a blink of an eye.
The weather is getting warmer.
At this time, the weather was sunny every day, and Du Qi set off from camp under such weather, and set off from Liaodong Road. During the period when Du Qi was in charge of Liaodong, Ma Zhou had completed the reform of Liaodong Road, reset the states of Liaodong Road, and arranged the candidates for the governor of each state one by one.
For the time being, the officials of each state are former officials of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. It's just that the official positions of these people were mutually disrupted, and the local people were not allowed to govern the state to avoid the situation of the local emperor.
As for people like Gao Di, Jin Yuzhen, Sha Qianqiu and Yan Jiu, they all have to leave with Du Qi. So today's Liaodong Road seems to be a little difficult, but it is not particularly difficult.
As long as Ma Zhou manages well, everything will be fine.
Du Qi doesn't care about Liaodong Dao for the time being. What he wants to adjust now is the whole country. After all, the world has been unified, and the previous chaotic situation has disappeared. However, it is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to rule the country. Du Qi is very clear about this.
Next, governing the country is the real tough battle.
is even more complicated.
When marching and fighting, if there is an enemy, Xia Guo will kill it directly. After all, Xia Guo's strength is tyrannical, its weapons are advanced, and it has the strength to crush opponents. This is where Xia Guo has the most advantage. But governing the country is a matter of one's own people, of officials and the people, especially when various situations are intertwined and cannot be resolved in a few words.
It was mid-March that the army led by Du Qi left Liaodong and returned to Yuyang County. Now Ma Yuan has recovered from his injuries, he joined Du Qi directly and led his army south to Chang'an.
It was already the end of March when Du Qi's army returned to Chang'an. This way to return to Chang'an in the south is to take a warship to the south and return in a short time with the help of the canal.
The army returned to Chang'an, and the army was temporarily stationed to rest.
Xue Rengui was based in Chang'an, Du Qi did not go to the imperial palace, but directly summoned Xue Rengui in the army to inquire about the situation in the country. Xue Rengui reported the current domestic situation, Su Dingfang in the north has solved the Turkic problem, and all Turkic people belonged to Xia Guo. In addition, Xiao Yuanqi also pacified Qianzhong Road, went north and returned to Chang'an to station.
It was a very good thing for Du Qi that the three armies returned to Chang'an.
The world is finally completely peaceful.
The only regret is that when Li Shimin was dead in Qujiang County, Shaozhou, Li Zhen took Li Zhi to Guangzhou. But when he went south to capture Guangzhou, Li Zhi had already left Guangzhou to go to sea, and he couldn't find where Li Zhen and Li Zhiren were?
After Xue Rengui reported the general situation, he said: "Your Majesty, the world has been completely calmed down to this day. Should we prepare to return to the imperial capital?"
Du Qi nodded and said: "I am indeed planning to return to the imperial capital. After all, the entire Xia Kingdom has been largely settled. The next step is to stabilize the domestic situation. After the domestic recuperation is over, other arrangements will be considered."
Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qidao: "Go get ready, take a short rest, and we will set off to return."
"yes!"
Xue Rengui turned around and retreated.
After Xue Rengui withdrew, Du Qi called Su Dingfang to inquire again, learned about the situation of Su Dingfang going north to Yunzhou and other places, and after listening to Su Dingfang's report, Du Qi praised Su Dingfang for his achievements in the first battle in the north.
After some entrustment, Du Qi asked Su Dingfang to go down to reorganize the army in preparation for returning to the imperial capital.
Finally, Du Qi called Xiao Yuanqi over.
Xiao Yuanqi spent most of the year fighting in the south. After all, the southern Qianzhong Road is really difficult to deal with. Even though Xiao Yuanqi claims to have seized the Qianzhong Road, in fact he only has the main cities in his hands, and many other mountainous areas have never been in his hands.
In fact, there is still a long way to go to fully grasp Qianzhong Road and Lingnan and other places. In fact, even the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations were still far from grasping the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, let alone today, after all, there are many dangerous mountains and rivers.
Xiao Yuanqi has lost a lot of weight now.
Much darker.
Xiao Yuanqi entered the hall and stood still, saluted and said: "My minister, Xiao Yuanqi, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Sit!"
After thanking Xiao Yuanqi, he sat down and sat upright. He faced Du Qi, not daring to overstep in the slightest.
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yuanqi, I am going to return to the imperial capital next time. But this time, when I return to the imperial capital, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui will accompany you, so you will stay in Chang'an, sit in Chang'an, and avoidavoid local unrest. "
Xiao Yuanqi frowned, and after a short pause, he said: "Your Majesty's arrangement, I must obey. However, Your Majesty, I want to follow His Majesty to fight here and there, so can you arrange other people to sit in Chang'an?"
Du Qi said: "In the future, the Xia Kingdom will indeed conquer the east and the west, but not now. Now that the world is initially settled, the most important thing is to guard and develop the localities in order to stabilize the situation in the localities. Besides, the world is settled, and I will accept it." It will also be divided into different parts of the world and guarded by troops. Letting you guard Chang'an now is also the next arrangement, but it is just an arrangement in advance."
Xiao Yuanqi was silent for a while when he heard it, then nodded and said: "I obey!"
Du Qidao: "You guard Chang'an, remember one thing, the army does not interfere with local government affairs. At the same time, the local government can't control you. All your soldiers' salaries and promotions are arranged by the imperial court. Do you understand?"
Xiao Yuanqi said seriously: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not intervene in the local area. If there is no rebellion or rebellion in the local area, I will stay behind closed doors and guard the barracks to the death. Soldiers, state affairs, must not be careless. Your Majesty , will abide by His Majesty's instructions."
The corner of Du Qi's mouth curled into a smile, and he praised: "Not bad, not bad!"
Xiao Yuanqi understood the meaning.
Du Qi said some other matters and asked Xiao Yuanqi to step down.
Du Qi stayed in Chang'an for two days, took a short rest, and then led the army to leave Chang'an for the Western Regions. This journey went west, crossing the territory of the Western Regions, and finally returned to the Imperial City in late April.
In April, the weather in the imperial capital is getting hotter.
On the day Du Qi led the army back, all civil and military officials headed by Minister of the Ministry of Officials Liu Zhengxi came to greet him outside the north gate of the imperial capital in person. Because today's Xia State has destroyed Datang, won the Turks, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, and even included all parts of the southern part of the Tang Dynasty into the territory of Xia State. It can be said that today's Xia State has far surpassed Qin and Han. Incomparably vast.
This is a great feat.
So this time when Du Qi was greeted, in addition to the civil and military officials headed by Liu Zhengxi, there were also many common people who lined the road to welcome Du Qi back.
After Du Qi and Baiguan met, they entered the city directly.
The army was stationed, and Du Qi returned to the palace.
Because Du Qi had been away from his family for a long time, he had just returned to the palace, so he did not go to court to deal with government affairs for the time being, but went directly to the harem. To say that Du Qi has been most sorry for these years is actually his wife and children. Du Qi is often away, and the shortest time for an expedition is three to five months, and the longest is a year and a half.
Du Qi still remembered that when his son Du Ye was born, Du Qi was away on an expedition. Du Qi has often been away these years, but now Du Qi's eldest son, Du Ye, is almost nine years old, and even the youngest daughter is four years old.
However, even though Du Qi is often away, the child is not unfamiliar when he sees Du Qi. Because Li Yanyun and Qianxue often teach and tell the story of Du Qi to the children, the children are very dependent on Du Qi as their father.
Du Qi accompanied his family and had a small gathering in the palace for a day.
The day passed, and it was evening.
Du Qi held a family banquet in the palace, and invited Du Ruhui, Du Gou, and everyone in the Du family together. The family had a family meal and talked about recent events and what happened in Chang'an.
The family is happy and harmonious.
Du Qi enjoys the family happiness at home all the time. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
