The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 553 Ascension to the throne

After nearly twenty years of chaos, with the concerted efforts of the monarch and ministers of Qi, the anti-king was finally wiped out and the troubled times were settled.

The land of Huaxia is also gradually developing towards the prosperous age under the governance.

Although the process is tortuous and tormented, the result is beautiful!
After Li Tang was wiped out and the world was pacified, the first thing the officials did was to persuade Gao Qi to ascend the throne, establish the country and set up the throne, and call on the world.

Therefore, in the following days, Liu Bowen, Di Renjie and other virtuous officials were ordered to arrive in Luoyang.

The ministers discussed the auspicious day for Gao Qi's ascension to the throne.

As for Gao Qi, he is now in love with a group of beautiful wives who just moved from Jiangling to Luoyang.

Afterwards, Gao Qi and Wugou traveled on horseback to enjoy the mountains and rivers of Luoyang, enjoying the beautiful scenery.

On the outskirts of Luoyang city, about twenty miles away, Gao Qi and Wugou jumped off the white dragon chant, held hands, and ran straight to the imperial garden.

As for the accompanying guards, Gao Qi arranged them to wait outside the garden.

After all, now that the world is unified, Gao Qi is always busy with military affairs and internal affairs, on the contrary, he rarely gets along with Wugou.

Nowadays, it is rare to have the opportunity to play, how can Gao Qi let others disturb the happy life of the two of them?

Speaking of it, this imperial garden is thanks to the construction of migrant workers called by Wang Shichong when he proclaimed himself emperor.

At this time, Gao Qi is just sitting back and enjoying the success!

······
In the garden, Gao Qi and Wugou held each other's hands and walked slowly, stopping at one place from time to time, watching the scenery quietly.

However, the two of them at this time lacked a trace of romance.

After all, Gao Qi is now over three years old, and in his thirties, Wugou is also thirty years old.

Standing by a lake, Gao Qi stared at his eldest grandson Wugou with deep eyes, which he could not forget for a long time.

Although, the present Wugou has already given birth to three children for Gao Qi, she has lost her original pure and lively aura.

Yes, before the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Wugou gave birth to another daughter for Gao Qi. Gao Qi named Jiao Jiao and named her Princess Anping.

However, it adds a mature and charming young woman's temperament, which makes people unforgettable.

Of course, no matter what happens to Wugou, in Gao Qi's heart, he only loves one person deeply.

After a long time, seeing Gao Qi staring at her closely, she couldn't help shyly saying, "Husband, why do you keep staring at my concubine?"

"The concubine is no longer a big girl, and her appearance is not as good as that of a young woman."

Hearing this, Gao Qi held Wugou in his arms, loving each other tenderly.

"Wugou, I once said that no matter how many women I marry in the future, Wugou's weight in my heart will never be replaced."

"I want Wugou to accompany me for the rest of my life!"

After finishing the words, Gao Qi couldn't help but put Wugou's soft and smooth hand beside his heart, letting him feel it.

Seeing that Gao Qi is rich and powerful, but still unable to love herself deeply.

At this moment, Wugou's heart was full of joy, he was content to meet Gao Qi in this life.

Immediately, the two were lingering together again, hugging each other tightly and hugging tightly.

The lips are gradually approaching, and the next kiss is in a ball.

For a long time, Wugou leaned on Gao Qi's chest, and said softly: "Husband, if one day, I suddenly cannot accompany you to the end."

"What would you do?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Wugou, if you really leave me."

"I will find out the truth about you leaving me, and then I will spend my whole life waiting for your change of heart."

"Wugou, remember, in this life, Gao Qi only loves you deeply."

For a moment, seeing Gao Qi's eyes showing true feelings everywhere, without any false feelings in his heart, Wugou's heart felt like bleeding, and tears couldn't stop falling down.

Seeing this, Gao Qi worried: "Wugou, what's wrong with you?"

"But feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, Wugou immediately wiped it with the handkerchief he carried with him, and then pretended to be excited: "No, Wugou is very happy. Choosing a husband in this life is the happiest thing for Wugou."

After the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, Gao Qi pardoned his eldest grandson Wuji because of Wugou's face, and let him lead his family to live in seclusion.

It's a pity that the result was that Changsun Wuji was stubborn, but he secretly contacted the nobles of Guanlong and raised troops against Daqi.

However, before the matter was completed, he was discovered by the local government in Hongnong and arrested.

Also because Changsun Wuji was too stubborn, it was impossible for Gao Qi to protect him.

After all, he is the king of a country, and what he cares about should be the interests of Daqi. It is necessary to kill all threats in the cradle.

Even so, it will arouse the resentment of the eldest grandson Wugou, but for the benefit of the country, he will not hesitate!

However, Wugou is more open-minded, and he also knows that Gao Qi chose to order the execution of his brother, which is a last resort decision.

Otherwise, how could Gao Qi let Changsun Wuji go before.

It's just because of my own obsession.

······
In 633 A.D., after Daqi unified China, in the spring of the following year, courtiers, civil and military, and all officials gathered in Nanyang City, the city of Nanyang County.

Today Gao Qi will be enthroned grandly in Nanyang City, making it known to the world that he will be enthroned as emperor.

In fact, establishing the capital of Nanyang was a problem that Gao Qi had conceived very early on. He was thinking deeply about the advantages and disadvantages of establishing capitals in various places.

Among them, Chang'an is the hinterland of the land of Guanlong, and its four fortresses in Guanzhong guard Chang'an.

In addition, Guanlong extends in all directions, which is conducive to controlling various places, and it is the location of the capital that was well-deserved.

Similarly, all dynasties, almost before the Sui Dynasty, almost all settled in the Chang'an area, with Guanzhong as the core of the country.

It spread to all parts of the country and governed states and counties.

However, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, Gao Qi still denied the idea of ​​establishing his capital in Chang'an and taking the four fortresses in Guanzhong as the core.

After all, the Guanlong nobles rose in Guanlong during the Northern Dynasties, and their family power was deeply rooted and extremely large.

The various families were allied with each other, and their forces were complicated, even in the decades since the Tang Dynasty was established in the original history.

The Guanlong nobles all firmly held the power in the court. During the reign of Li Zhi, the power once fell to the hands of ministers such as Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang.

It must be known that the Li family was originally one of Guanlong, but they had to rely on the nobles of Guanlong.

What's more, now that Gao Qi is still a self-made man, his capital is Guanlong, and he competes with the local nobles for food. Isn't this a hidden danger for Daqi?

Secondly, the most important reason is actually that after Guanlong was in the Sui Dynasty, its economy gradually weakened.

With the development, Guanlong has gradually become unable to support it and has become the political center of the country.

According to historical records: During Li Zhi's reign, he actually ate in Luoyang, the capital of the east.

It can be seen that Guan Long was already unable to support the whole country in the middle of Tang Dynasty.

To get rid of Chang'an, in fact, Luoyang should be more suitable.

After all, Luoyang is located in the center of Henan, and its east is the Jindi Xiongguan, which guards its east.

In the north is the natural barrier of the Yellow River, in the west there is the Luoshui line of defense, and in the south is Yique and other important passes.

It stands to reason that both the Eastern Capital and the Western Capital are the first choice for establishing the capital, but after careful consideration, Gao Qi denied both.

Negating Luoyang is also related to the Grand Canal dug by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Luoyang is the transit point of the Sui Grand Canal.

The water system near Luoyang is developed, which can be used as a transfer station, but it is precisely because of the developed water system that it will definitely increase the number of merchants in Luoyang.

The law and order near Luoyang is relatively messy, and it is easy to leave hidden dangers.

For the capital city, first of all, safety must be guaranteed. The capital city is the lifeblood of the whole country, and there is no room for loss!

Therefore, Luoyang, which is prone to chaos, is definitely not suitable.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he decided to use Nanyang as his capital and set the capital of Qi State at the intersection of the north and the south.

The reason why Nanyang was established as the capital is as follows:
The first is the convenience of geography. Nanyang City is deep in the Nanyang Basin. Its strategic depth is large, and it is easy to station troops, forming a deterrent to the whole country.

Not only that, the west of Nanyang is the land of Guanlong, the south is the land of Jingxiang, the north is the Central Plains of Henan, and the east is separated from the Jianghuai area.

The most important thing is that Nanyang Deep is at the junction of the north and the south, adjacent to the surrounding areas.

With the capital here, the centralization of power can be greatly implemented, and the north and south regions can be managed to the maximum extent, maintaining a balance.

Finally, Gao Qi's deepest thought is that Nanyang is located at the junction of the north and the south, and the merchants will do business in the future.

Nanyang, as the capital of the Great Qi, will inevitably become merchants and merchants, hoarding between the north and the south.

Immediately, all kinds of vendors in the north and south must be hoarded in Nanyang, which will definitely improve the overall economy of Nanyang.

This is also the most far-reaching point that Gao Qi thought of. It should be noted that the economy of the Song Dynasty reached the peak of feudal society.

The textile industry and other markets in Bianjing alone can bring a lot of profits to the Song Ting treasury every year.

However, because the Song Dynasty was friendly to civil officials and suppressed generals, its domestic military strength was much weaker.

After thinking about this point, this is also the reason why Gao Qi made Nanyang his capital.

Gao Qi wants to make Daqi's economy into a rich and powerful country through this move, and hopes that the era of linkage between China's commerce and agriculture will come soon.

It should be noted that China's small-scale peasant economy lasted until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not until modern times that commerce began to gradually rise.

What Gao Qi wanted was to build Daqi into a dynasty with a prosperous economy, vitality, and a strong military.

In addition, Gao Qi specially set up a sea priest in Nanjing to supply Daqi to go to sea for trade and business.

Gao Qi believes that as long as he vigorously promotes sailing, the domestic military will be strong.

China's ocean age will come earlier than the original history.

······
In 633, in late March, the sky was clear and the sun was scorching, shining on the boundless land.

The spring breeze blowing at dawn makes people feel refreshed!
At this time, crowds of people flocked to the outskirts of Nanyang as if they had stepped through the threshold.

Then under the scorching sun, they shouted "Long live" and waited for Gao Qi's arrival.

Today is the auspicious day of the zodiac that was discussed and formulated by the ministers. At this time, Gao Qi will be enthroned as emperor and establish Daqi.

After waiting for a long time, Gao Qi was wearing a newly made dragon robe and a phoenix-singing dragon crown, and came slowly behind the phoenix moored by dozens of horses!

Immediately after, Gao Qi, with the support of his servants, stepped down from Feng Lu, and then came hand in hand with his eldest grandson Wugou.

Followed by the rest of the concubines and two rows of court ladies, they went straight up to the high platform.

When passing through the official road that the people gave up, the people on both sides shouted spontaneously: "My emperor is mighty, mighty!"

Yes, Gao Qi started from the humble beginnings, fought all the way to the end, and was called a widow in Jiangnan Jianguo.

It was not until decades of fighting that all the anti-kings in China were finally wiped out and the world was pacified.

This unprecedented feat is almost comparable to any emperor in the past dynasties.

Therefore, Gao Qi has such a high reputation in the hearts of the people, and this is all because of Gao Qi's own actions.

It wasn't until Gao Qi boarded the high platform that Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of Rites, officially stood up and announced the start of the enthronement ceremony.

Following a cumbersome enthronement ceremony, Gao Qi formally enthroned as emperor and became the Son of Daqi.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi personally changed the Yuan to "Jianye", taking this year as the first year of Jianye, and set his capital in Nanyang.

Immediately after, Gao Qi began to wave his hand, while Liu Bowen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, read out the imperial edict.

Sealed as follows:

Governor Yue Fei has been a general under his command since my biological father, and his hard work and achievements are indelible.

When my country of Qi was in a weak state, Yue Fei came to help him personally. He was loyal to Da Qi and made great military exploits.

I have decided to confer the title of Chief of the Five Great Marshals of Daqi, the Grand Marshal of Zhenbei.

Afterwards, Gao Qi took Li Jing as the Grand Marshal of Zhendong, ranking under Yue Fei.

Wang Xuance is the Grand Marshal of Zhennan, ranking third, and Bai Qi is the Grand Marshal of Zhenxi, ranking fourth.

Xue Rengui is the Marshal of the Chinese Army, ranking fifth.

Next, the imperial decree added ten generals who were only inferior to the marshal in military exploits.

First, Zhou Yu is the general of the navy, Su Lie is the general who conquers the west, and Wang Bao is the general who conquers the south.

Meng Gong was the general of the town, Zhang Xian was the general of Pingbei, and Xue Dingshan was the general of Zhengdong.

Sun Kewang was promoted to General of Zhennan, Zhang Ren was promoted to General of Zhenxi, and Lu Xiang was promoted to General of Pingdong.

Qi Jiguang is the general of Zhendong.

Later, Li Jilong, Chang Yuchun, Liu Rengui, Xu Da, Jiang Wei and other meritorious servicemen were appointed major generals.

The above are the county military ranks of Gao Qi's reforms, which are clear and clear at a glance!

Not only that, but Gao Qi also named the top ten great generals of Daqi.

The first will be Li Cunxiao, the god general of Daqi, Gao Chong will be the second general, and Jiang Song will be the third general.

Zhao Yun was the fourth general, Luo became the fifth general, Yu Chigong was the sixth general, and Qin Qiong was the seventh general.

Huang Feihu was the eighth general, Huang Zhong was the ninth general, and Li Dingguo was the tenth general.

After some seals, the scene suddenly became a sensation, and there was a lot of fun!
After all, the purpose of all the generals following Gao Qi to conquer the world was to win fame one day.

Now that Gao Qi has fulfilled his promise, how can he not be excited?
Li Cunxiao and Jiang Song were seriously injured at the time, and under the full rescue of Hua Tuo and a group of doctors and nurses, they saved their lives.

After this period of recuperation, the two are in good shape, and they have almost reached the normal level.

After conferring the reward, Fang Xuanling couldn't help being puzzled, and said: "Your Majesty, I have something unclear, please ask for instructions!"

"Zhuge Kongming guards Shuzhou all the year round, and provides support for Daqi to stabilize the rear."

"In the battle of destroying Tang Dynasty, the contribution is even more indispensable. Why is there no Kong Ming in the position of marshal?"

After the words were finished, all the civil and military personnel set their eyes on Gao Qi, seeing how he would reply.

Only Zhuge Liang was shaking his feather fan lightly, smiling without saying a word, not worried at all!
Zhuge Liang knew Gao Qi well, and he would never forget such a great feat he made.

Sure enough, in the next second, Gao Qi explained: "Of course, Kong Ming's contribution is not bad at all."

"However, Kong Ming is a genius, and what he has learned in his life should not be in the army."

"Now that the world is calm and there is no more war, it is time for Kong Ming to put his sword down on Nanshan and return to the court."

"Therefore, the town considers it as appropriate, and specially chooses Kong Ming as the minister of the Shangzhu Kingdom and the Ministry of Officials."

"Together with me and all my lovers, contribute to the construction of Daqi."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang came out immediately, knelt down to thank him, and said, "Liang would like to obey the emperor's order!"

In fact, Gao Qi also thought carefully about transferring Zhuge Liang to the court.

Now that the world is peaceful, with Zhuge Liang's ability, he should be in the temple and handle the state affairs.

Instead of joining the army, you are going to lead the battle!
Of course, for Zhuge Liang, what he also hopes is that he can use what he has learned in his life and live in the temple.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Qi personally announced to the world that his eldest grandson Wugou was his queen, and his mother honored the world.

Yang Yuhuan is the noble concubine of the dynasty, and the rest, such as Da Qiao and Mu Guiying, are all treated as concubines.

······
The capital of Daqi, the capital of Nanyang
After being granted the title, Qi Emperor Gao Qi led an army of 20 with Yue Fei, guarding several states in Hebei, with Zhang Xian as his deputy.

Li Jing led an army of [-] to guard Shandong, with Xue Dingshan as his deputy.

Xue Rengui led an army of [-], stationed in Luoyang, and guarded Henan, with Xu Da as his deputy.

Bai Qi led an army of 20, and was based in Chang'an, guarding Guanlong and Liangzhou, with Su Lie as his deputy.

Wang Xuance led an army of [-], and was stationed in the Lingnan area, with Lu Xun as his deputy.

Then, with Meng Gong as the main force, Liu Rengui as the deputy, leading an army of [-], guarding Shuzhou.

At present, Wang Ting is the main force, Chang Yuchun is the deputy, leading an army of [-], guarding Xiangzhou.

Immediately, with Zhou Yu stationed in the navy in Jinling, Qi Jiguang guarded several states in the east of the Yangtze River.

For a while, with the formal founding of the Qi army, Gao Qi ruled the world, and Da Qi's rule was flourishing!
With the concerted efforts of Qi's monarchs and ministers, water canals were built, taxes were reduced, wasteland was reclaimed, and rice was planted wantonly.

Gao Qi also reused Shen Wansan and other merchants who were engaged in business, and traveled all over the country to seek profits.

With the efforts of Da Qi, Qi State is slowly stepping on the right track, sweeping away the decadence of troubled times, and beginning to develop into a prosperous age.

······
It is only said that after Bai Qi took office, he was keen to find the opportunity to fight, and decisively led the army to fight, and went straight to Hexi and other places.

With the rush of the Daqi lion, and because of Baiqi's ability to command the army, he will almost always win all the way and conquer.

Within a few months, he invaded the land of Hexi in one fell swoop, invaded Zhangye County, and was besieged by Ma Chao, Su Lie and other generals.

Lu Bu was killed in battle, and then Li Gui was photographed at the edge of the Qi army approaching the city, and surrendered the city.

Following Li Gui, the anti-king who dominated Hexi was destroyed, and the land of Liangzhou was subsequently pacified.

It was completely under the rule of Daqi. So far, the land of Daqi extends to the Koguryo Peninsula in the east and Yumen Pass in the west.

In the north it extends from the Outer Xing'an Mountains to the Monan Grassland, Khitan, the hometown of the Jin people, and in the south it reaches the land of Lingnan.

Also, when the Daqi Navy was sailing, it colonized the surrounding large and small islands and built military docks.

At this moment, Daqi's territory can be described as unprecedentedly strong!

ps: At this point, Qi State's unification of the world has ended, and this book has also reached the final stage of closure. Next, it will be the last volume, the final chapter.
