Chapter 488 of Volume 6 Before Interests, there is no family affection The summer season of July is the beginning of the hottest and most unbearable heat of the year.
At this moment, even if it is located in the always mild Jiangnan, the light refracted by its sunlight is not to be underestimated Just crossed the river, has passed through Jiangxia, and walked on the road of Jiangling Qi army and his party.
"This year's temperature difference seems to be hotter than in previous years, but Jiangnan, which has always been mild, is also so hot."
At this time, Gao Qi, who was riding on the white dragon of the divine horse, couldn't stop wiping the sweat beads on the top of his head, looking at the air and wondering.
Now the Qi army and his entourage are galloping towards Jiangling in the scorching sun.
In fact, in such a hot weather, Gao Qi, as the king of a country, can completely support the emperor's car and phoenix to shelter the sun, so he doesn't have to suffer so much.
However, Gao Qi also voluntarily abandoned this idea, after all, although the weather is hot now, his whole army is walking like this.
To be precise, it should be that the whole army is marching hard in the scorching sun, and in this regard, Gao Qi knows that he can't be special.
Secondly, although Gao Qi is the king of a country, what he longs for in his heart is also life on the battlefield.
What he longed for in his heart was also a battle on the battlefield, so he decisively chose to ride a horse and gallop.
However, although they suffered a lot, the effect was significant, as their own army almost worshipped Gao Qi even more.
Gao Qi almost impressed the soldiers of the whole army with such a personality charm, as the saying goes: there are no reluctant soldiers, as for the king who can't get in.
Since ancient times, the king who immediately won the world was able to mingle with the generals and soldiers under his command.
However, because the eldest grandson Wujian is a weak woman, Gao Qi also let him gallop with Gao's mother in a special carriage early.
After a long time, Gao Qi asked He Yuanqing on the side: "Yuanqing, our army has been traveling for several days, crossed the Yangtze River, and left the Jiangxia territory. ” "I don't know how far away we are from Gangneung" Hearing this, He Yuanqing wiped the beads of sweat on his head, came with a double hammer on his horse, and said: "King Qi, now you have arrived at the periphery of Qingjiang. ” "The last general estimates that it should only be more than 100 miles away from the Jiangling Royal City."
"The whole army obeyed the order, set up tents on the spot to rest, and waited for it to get dark before hurrying" As soon as the words fell, Gao Qi issued a military order to rest in place, after all, people are flesh and blood creatures, and the body must be unbearable after a long march.
What's more, it's still the hottest season in July and August, so rest is necessary.
Moreover, since Gao Qi and his entourage were already in the hinterland of the territory at this time, there would be no accidents.
With the arrival of this military order, the whole army cheered and shouted long live.
They all put down all kinds of materials in their hands and went to cut down trees on a large scale to set up a simple tent to rest.
Seeing this, for Gao Qi, this may be a more correct choice.
Two days passed, and Gao Qi and his entourage finally arrived at the outskirts of Jiangling and gradually approached the direction of the city gate.
As we got closer and closer to the city gate, the vaguely visible silhouette of Gangneung Castle began to appear in front of me.
At this moment, as the head of the civil officials, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling and other ministers all led the ministers to gather outside the city, waiting for the triumphant division of King Gao Qi of Qi.
Take this Northern Expedition as an example, none of the ministers expected that Gao Qi, the king of Qi, would be invincible on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang and kill Hu Kou.
Therefore, under the discussion of Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling, in order to create an atmosphere and strengthen the support of the people for the Qi country, they wantonly greeted the Qi army outside the city.
For a long time, because Gao Qi was the king of a country, he was in the middle army array, and he was under key protection, so Zhao Yun arrived outside the city first.
"Lord Liu, Lord Fang, King Qi is coming, prepare to answer" With Zhao Yun's words, Liu Bowen had the determination of the head of the civil official, and immediately waved his hand.
Suddenly, a sound resounded outside the city, not only the interweaving of music, but also the joyful sounds of many of the city's soldiers and citizens.
It can be seen that the Qi State is already in a new and prosperous situation under the leadership of Gao Qi.
After all, after Gao Qi personally went out on the expedition for several months and did not return, the civil and military forces under his command were able to successfully take care of everything in the territory in an orderly manner.
There is no doubt about this, whether it is Gao Qi's prestige or the strength of his martial arts, they are all strong.
After a long time, the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Qi army arrived at the city gate one after another, and at this time, Gao Qi turned over and dismounted and walked to the carriage in person.
Lifting the curtain, Gao Qi bowed down and said, "Mother, Jiangling, the royal city of the son has arrived, get out of the car" Immediately, Gao Qi and the eldest grandson Wujian together, one left and one right, slowly helped their elderly mother out of the carriage, and then walked towards the city gate.
Seeing the arrival of the King of Qi, Liu Bowen led all the civil and military officers to immediately kneel down and pay homage: "The ministers welcome the return of the king" Hearing this, Gao Qi waved his sleeves and said, "All Aiqing is exempt" After all the ministers of civil and military affairs got up, Gao Qi also officially led the guards into the city, and then announced at the head of the city: "Everyone, this is the biological mother of the lonely. ” "In the future, the lonely mother will be the mother of my Daqi, and all Aiqing can have opinions" Hearing this, how could the ministers oppose Gao Qi's arbitrariness in such a trivial matter, and they couldn't help but agree.
Then, after another mobilization speech, Gao Qi ordered the chamberlain who had already left the city to prepare a hall for Gao's mother.
"Zheng He, next you will prepare a palace for the lonely mother and let her live."
"No, obey the order of King Qi."
Hearing the order, Zheng He did not have the slightest consideration, so he directly accepted the order, and then arranged for the rest of the attendants to carefully support Gao's mother to leave.
As for the rest of the soldiers, Gao Qi also asked Guo Jia, the squire of the military department, to let him rest in the military camp first, and wait for the follow-up to deal with it.
For a while, Gao Qi was on the crotch, and under the escort of the pro-guard army, he led the ministers into the city slowly, and the eldest grandson beside him looked around.
Along the way, Gangneung City at this time can be said to be really lively, not only the sound of music on the way is non-stop.
Even the people on both sides of the street are in an endless stream, standing on both sides, sandwiching the road to welcome, happy as usual Although Xiangzhou is located in the south, there is no contact with foreign races, and I don't know its ferocity, but in the south of Xiangzhou, there are also many barbarians.
Therefore, the Jiangnan scholars can also know the ferocity of the foreign races from the barbarians.
Therefore, now that the news of Gao Qi's victory in northern Xinjiang against Hu is coming, how can it not be exciting As time slowly faded, Gao Qi had already taken the lead in returning to the palace, and at this time, Jiangling City gradually returned to calm.

A few days passed, Gao Qi was dealing with government affairs in the study at this time, after all, he had been on the expedition for several months, although there were also ministers in the territory to deal with it, so there was no need to worry about it However, there are also some official documents that need to be approved by Gao Qi, the king.
Therefore, it can be seen how many official documents have been squeezed in the past few months.
Suddenly, in the approval of the official document, Gao Qi found an interesting piece of music, and couldn't help but slowly look down.
"The prince of Qi personally opened, the minister is Wuling County to guard Jackie Chan, in recent days, there are many officials and wealthy families around Wuling in collusion."
"Then they joined forces to oppress the local people, causing people everywhere to have no hope of reporting to the government, resulting in many officials having cracks in the court and the government."
"At this moment, many people are no longer as supportive of Daqi as before, and there are already factors of distrust."
"If it goes on for a long time, this will definitely cause great disasters, so in terms of the ministers, the ministers hope that the king of Qi can find out the truth as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, in the future, there will be endless troubles" For a while, Gao Qi wholeheartedly and forgot to eat and read the official document written by Yu Chenglong to investigate from his heart.
After seeing it, Gao Qi's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and his angry look began to gradually brew.
"Dian Wei, pass the order of the orphan, quickly pass on Li Yuanfang to come to see the orphan" "No" Although Gao Qi's face was not good for a while, and his tone was harsh, Dian Wei still seriously obeyed the instructions and went to report.
For a long time, with the steady pace of the wind, Gao Qi already knew about Li Yuanfang's arrival.
After entering the mansion, he saluted Gao Qi first, and then slowly asked: "I don't know if King Qi summoned Gu, but what is the matter?"
Hearing this, Gao Qi still looked unkind, and said coldly: "Li Yuanfang, do you know what your own position is?"
"In the same way, do you know what your own responsibilities are?"
Immediately, Li Yuanfang also heard from Gao Qi's words that he was not good, and he couldn't help but feel a pimple in his heart.
As an internal supervision of hundreds of officials, and externally responsible for collecting information from officials and wealthy families in various places.
Li Yuanfang didn't know about the existence of wealthy clans, officials and officials protecting each other, colluding with wealthy clans, and oppressing the people together Immediately, Li Yuanfang thought for a while, and said slowly: "King Qi, Weichen knows. ” "Okay, now that you understand your duty, you don't need to be reminded of your failure."
It's just that Gao Qi, who was not angry a second ago, had a big change in his attitude in advance, and he was suddenly furious.
"Li Yuanfang, Lone remembers that you were Di Renjie's student, when your teacher recommended you to Lone."
"Lone trusts you so much to let you serve as the Shadow Lord, but I didn't expect you to disappoint Lone too much" For a while, Rao is Gao Qi was extremely well-cultivated, but he was also angry.
In fact, for this kind of thing of officials protecting each other, it cannot be eliminated.
After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are interests, and where there are interests, there will be fights.
If it was just ordinary corruption and bribery, Gao Qi would not be so angry, at most he would just let Li Yuanfang deal with it privately.
However, the current situation is beyond Gao Qi's expectations, because the wealthy family and the officials colluded with each other, and Li Yuanfang, who had been supervising all the time, did not report directly.
Therefore, for a while, Gao Qi felt the seriousness of the matter, and also knew that it would never be so simple at this time.
After all, the shadow is Gao Qi's eyes in the dark, but at this time, this eye is blinded, and it is conceivable that the internal corruption of the Qi State has already begun.
It may not be so serious now, but Gao Qi knows that if he continues to indulge like this, sooner or later, more serious consequences will definitely occur.
Moreover, there is a good saying that the best way to break through a strong fortress is to break it from within It can be seen that maintaining the core interior is a necessary condition for victory.
Just think about it, if the current incident of officials protecting each other and oppressing the people, Gao Qi will ignore it and not deal with it for the time being Over time, a butterfly effect will be formed, and the rest of the local officials will surely follow suit.
Subsequently, the people in the territory will definitely turn away from Germany, rebel one after another, and stand on their own.
At this time, no matter how elite the Qi army is, what if it is invincible The interior is unstable, there is no stable rear, sooner or later there is only one way to perish, at this moment, with Yu Jackie Chan's letters, Gao Qi is actually already thinking about the future form.
For Gao Qi, it may be easier to unify the world, but how to govern the world and how to pass on the country he has built with his own hands to future generations and let it continue is the biggest problem.
After all, even in the later generations where Gao Qi lived, the laws were relatively strict, but they could not completely eliminate the mutual exchange between officials and officials.
It is also extremely common for business tycoons and government departments in various places to jointly oppress the people.
Corruption and bribery are even more common In fact, this is the most important problem to think about, if these problems cannot be solved, even if the whole world can be unified, there is nothing to be done Therefore, at this time, Gao Qi was so angry that Li Yuanfang actually concealed himself in it.
Hearing this, Li Yuanfang immediately explained: "King Qi, it's not that the minister doesn't want to tell you. ” "Actually, as early as when the King of Qi was still fighting Hu in northern Xinjiang, Weichen had already learned about this matter, and it was only after in-depth investigation that he learned that the chain of interests behind this matter was very deep."
"Therefore, Wei Chen did not dare to dispose of it without authorization, and wanted to wait for King Qi to come back and report to him in person."
"It's just that before Weichen had time to take the initiative to come to meet King Qi, King Qi took the initiative to summon Weichen."
For a while, with Li Yuanfang's explanation, Gao Qi's angry expression was slightly relaxed.
After a pause, Gao Qi said slowly: "The chain of interests, who is behind this who is involved in this, and it makes you so jealous" Gao Qi knows Li Yuanfang's temperament very well, and knows that he is by no means the kind of person who bends the law for personal gain.
Thinking about it, the relationship of interests behind this is by no means as simple as it seems, and there must be big people manipulating all this.
"Yuan Fang, tell Gu about the situation here, how complicated it is behind this?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanfang understood, immediately stepped forward, and said in a slightly low-level voice: "King Qi, according to Weichen's investigation, his officials are protecting a small county in the remote area of Wuling. ” "Because of its high mountain and the emperor's distance, the local county orders converged into one road and jointly oppressed the people."
"As for colluding with the Hao clan, it is really that the local power of these Hao clans is too large, and Weichen is afraid of startling the snake, so he has not dared to do it."
"Not only that, but even King Qi's fiancée, the Yang clan, was involved in this incident."

"Bang" Suddenly, Gao Qi suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sunny sky, and with Li Yuanfang's advice, Gao Qi finally knew why he didn't dare to tell himself the truth.
Because the chain of interests involved is really extraordinary Gao Qi never expected that even his relatives' families would be involved.
This is really no family affection in front of interests, the great turmoil of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
