Long before sending troops, their monarchs and ministers had discussed the issue of the ownership rights of Goryeo after the war. However, that discussion came to nothing.
After much deliberation, in the end they only talked about Qi Yulai's method of serving as the first assistant to resolve the crisis. However, no clear conclusion was reached on the administrative division and ownership of the place.
Now, the situation is clear and the overall situation has been decided, and it can no longer be artificially avoided.
How to deal with it is the thorny issue we are facing now.
Qi Jing placed all his hope on today's world and was afraid that improper handling would worsen the relationship between his superiors and subordinates. He was very cautious.
However, Qi Yu had no such worries.
In his opinion, the emperor should have become enlightened and would no longer be as petty as before. ????????????????
as expected!
After Li Hongyu returned, he immediately promulgated administrative matters for the Goryeo area.
Without any thought, he directly handed over the jurisdiction to Qi Jing.
Moreover, he also warned in a seemingly solemn way: This place is special. It's a very important matter, so I hope your beloved will guard it carefully.
What? Does it matter much?
This is more or less nonsense.
For now, Mobei has been pacified and Fusang has surrendered. Looking around, there is no real enemy country or enemy. In this case, where does the theory of great unity come from?
This kind of rhetoric is just to add some pressure to Qi Jing.
Besides, there is nothing else.
In fact, Qi Jing also understood the general outline of the matter and didn't pay too much attention to it.
Who is going to take care of this useless place?
The emperor's purpose of being courteous to him and avoiding Qi Yu was just to show his respect.
However, in Qi Dalang's view, there is another layer of hidden meaning hidden in it.
What?
Let's put it this way, Fusang is now under the rule of Qiongzhou Province. If Goryeo is annexed together, Dafeng's defense will be a bit embarrassing.
It is inappropriate to set up heavy troops, and it is also inappropriate to ignore them.
In this case, it is better to let Qi Jing's garrison act as a buffer zone in the middle, so as to create mutual restraint.
This is an imperial method, there is nothing particularly unusual about it.
The core point is that the court can handle this matter without appointing any civilian officials.
This move not only maintains the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also takes into account the overall situation. , it can be said that they complement each other.
On the surface, Li Hongyu behaves quite generously.
After careful consideration, he decisively decided to make the place completely autonomous like Qiongzhou, and the central agency would never be involved in its affairs.
It's not that he doesn't want to take charge, it's just that he really shouldn't take charge.
Just imagine, if this makes the place and temple unhappy, it will be self-defeating and the gain will outweigh the loss.
After weighing the situation, he decisively chose safety.
There is a car in front and a rut in the back. Wouldn’t it be enough to learn the Qiongzhou model?
Yes, there are good options to choose from, so why bother with unnecessary details?
After recent hardships, the emperor has understood some essential principles, and when dealing with sensitive matters, he is no longer as harsh and blunt as before.
After this matter was finalized, all that remained was to officiate Qi Xiaotong's wedding.
Basically there is no objection to this section, everyone agrees with it. To put it bluntly, this is just a formality, so why take it too seriously?
The emperor is not a fool. How can he let go of such a good opportunity to please his ministers and fool the world at the same time?
Not only did he readily accept the matter, but he also made a series of rewards.
Qi Xiaotong was also promoted from the original county owner to a higher-level princess.
His father was promoted to Shaobao, and his daughter naturally followed the rising tide.
However, when a daughter of the royal family gets married, how can the emperor not provide some decent dowry?
After hiding and hiding, Li Hongyu was still unable to escape this incident, and he lost not a penny of the money he should have paid.
Seeing this, Qi Jing couldn't help but ridicule his old friend, "Shaocheng, people say that you in Qiongzhou are the richest in the world. If you are so rich, why are you still looking at some mundane things?"
Qi Yu rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically: "Hong Tao is your adopted son, which is equivalent to your biological son. The relationship is absolutely the same. I'll just say some things directly!"
"Whether it was the escort from my Qi family or the dowry from the Holy Emperor, didn't it fall into the hands of your Qi family in the end? You, don't get the advantage and behave yourself."
"you……"
"Isn't it?"
After such a joke, the two of them couldn't help but smile. Why are they still entangled in those things?
When they reach this status, they no longer care about general material wealth and only pursue maximizing interests.
Compared with their generation, the younger generations seem much more free and easy.
For example, Xiaotong and Hong Tao.
The two of them were not affected by political factors in any way. They loved each other lovingly and respected each other as guests.
After completing all the wedding etiquette, the two newlyweds held hands and entered the bridal chamber together with red ribbons.
Little did the two of them know that Qi Dalang, who couldn't bear to see his daughter marry, was already drunk, happily and heartbroken.
Between giving and receiving, Qi Yu really didn't know where his thoughts were going.
The daughter he has raised for half his life has now flown to another family. As a father, how can he let go indifferently?
I really can’t bear to part with it!
Of course, a child cannot be raised by his mother, and a daughter cannot be raised by her father. When it is time to face reality, you have to face reality.
With the comfort of his old friend, Qi Yu finally seemed to have thought about it.
The elders were drunk and drunk in the hall, but the newlyweds were chatting and laughing with each other in the bridal chamber.
"Xiaotong, we are lovers and finally got married."
"You idiot, you should call me sissy!"
Lady?
ah……
right!
Hong Tao was stunned for a while before he suddenly came to his senses.
Yes, my love marathon has come to an end, and it is no longer the same as before.
Thinking of all the past, Hong Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Qi Xiaotong also said leisurely: "Do you still remember the day before you left Qiongzhou? At that time, the two of us met on the shore of the small lake and talked to each other about the process of getting to know each other. It was on that day, You officially expressed your love to me, and I decided to follow you that day!"
"That day?" Recalling the past, the feeling was vivid in his mind, and Hong Tao began to sigh with emotion.
Xiaotong was right. Without the confession of love that day, it is very likely that the development would not have been possible.
However, most of them are destined to each other, otherwise, they would never be able to get together.
Thinking of this, the two of them raised their glasses at the same time as if they had the same understanding, and raised the symbolic Hexin wine together.
They have been together for hundreds of years and have been helping each other for a long time.
Cheers!
