—— In June, the mainland is already a hot summer, but in Qinghai, you don't feel the scorching heat of midsummer.

Spring has just arrived in Qinghai, Qinghai Lakeside, full of flowers and green grass, the beauty is very unreal. The climate is also very pleasant, there is no feeling of irritability, and it rains a few times from time to time, which makes people feel like "Yanyu Jiangnan".

In later generations, Yang Xi once went to Qinghai Lake, that was before joining the army with his parents to Qinghai Lake to play, at that time he thought Qinghai Lake was very beautiful, but in later generations, Qinghai Lake, the degree of beauty can not be compared with the Tang Dynasty.

Qinghai in the Tang Dynasty, the beauty was too pure, there was no pollution, there were no commercial things, I believe that as long as people have been to this time, they will like it.

Yang Xi, who is hunting, playing, and camping by Qinghai all day long after dealing with military affairs, has a bit of a taste of joy, he feels that he has been letting him stay in Qinghai, he seems to be willing, if his wives and concubines also come to Qinghai, it would be great, he can accompany his wives and concubines all day long in the Qinghai Lake circle to enjoy the mountains and rivers, not too happy. He regretted a little that he didn't bring Guo Xin to Qinghai, but he also knew that it was impossible for a general to go out with his family, not to mention that Guo Xin was pregnant now, even if he could take her out, no matter what aspect he considered, it was impossible to bring her out.

As soon as she thought of Guo Xin's pregnancy, Yang Xi's heart swayed with indescribable tenderness. Extrapolating from the time, it is not far from the time when Guo Xin gives birth, thinking that he will soon be a father, the warmth in Yang Xi's heart is even stronger, and he really wants to put on his wings, and immediately fly back to Chang'an, return to his little wife, and personally witness this very memorable time for him.

However, it is a pity that so far there has been no order from the imperial court to let the army be divided or the generals who lead the army to return to Beijing in triumph.

The follow-up arrangements after the war have been arranged by Yang Xi, of course, he is mainly responsible for the military aspect. In terms of people's livelihood, the county Taishou who has its own imperial court orders presides over on his behalf.

Qinghai is not far from Shanzhou, Hezhou, and Liangzhou, and the imperial court did not immediately announce how to dispose of Qinghai after the war. There are not many people living in Qinghai, and many herdsmen who fled after the war are sparsely populated, so it is not difficult to govern.

Now the situation in Qinghai is basically up to him, Yang Xi feels that this period is the time when he is most energetic, he is also very patient in doing things, and tries to think about everything in the long run. Everything is for the stability of Qinghai.

He also hoped that the officials in the court would do the same.

What Yang Xi didn't know was that the court was very lively now, and many ministers were arguing about how to deal with Qinghai affairs.

When the war tended to subside, Yang Xi presented a long melody in the form of a military report, in which he described in detail the important position of Qinghai to the Tang Dynasty, and suggested that the imperial court should directly govern Qinghai, set up prefectures and counties, and send officials to change the way of dealing with Tuyuhun during the Zhenguan period. Although Yang Xi didn't know that the court was arguing about how to deal with Qinghai. But he knew that the ministers in the court must have a lot of opinions on how to deal with Qinghai. There must be ministers who suggested direct occupation, but they felt that Qinghai was a barren land. There are many people who are not worth spending a lot of effort to occupy, and no matter who their understanding is limited to this era, everyone's opinion of the situation will definitely be different, and it is not surprising that there are multiple opinions in the court. The descendants of the Murong clan of Tuyuhun must not have given up the idea of recovering the country. At this time, the descendants of the Murong clan must also go to the table to ask the imperial court to help them restore the Tuguhun Kingdom.

Yang Xi didn't know what Li Longji's decision would be in the end, but he could do it now. He just wrote a few more copies and sent them to Chang'an, hoping to persuade Li Longji to agree to his suggestion. Qinghai, which has paid the blood and lives of thousands of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty army, has worked hard to fight hard, and it will belong to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it cannot be given to others, which is Yang Xi's very firm idea.

However, Yang Xi did not wait for the imperial court to send any edict on how to deal with Qinghai, he waited for the imperial court to urgently summon him back to the imperial court.

This order was not because of the court, but because his father Yang Guozhong was injured and sick again, and his condition was quite serious, so he was urgently ordered to go back. Yang Xi received an order from the imperial court to hand over the military affairs of Qinghai to Pang Zhong, and after returning to Chang'an immediately, he hesitated for a while.

The situation in Qinghai slowly stabilized under his control, and the various ministries were still in the process of suppressing Tubo and the remnants of the Tubo servant army, at this time, he didn't really want to leave Qinghai immediately, he wanted to wait until Qinghai was completely under the control of the Tang Dynasty, and then he would leave.

But he could not fail to obey the orders of the imperial court.

Yang Guozhong was seriously ill, and Li Longji sent an edict to him to return to Beijing immediately, if he shirked for any reason, it would be infamous, at least "unfilial piety" This point will not be escaped. And Yang Xi also knew that Yang Guozhong was seriously ill and was likely to have a great impact on the affairs of the court, and it was the best choice for him to return to Chang'an immediately, otherwise he might miss some wonderful pieces.

Although it is said that Yang Guozhong has not returned to the court to do things after his assassination, he has not been removed from his position, he is still the prime minister, and his status in the court is still above Guo Ziyi.

After Yang Xi received the imperial decree ordering him to return to Beijing immediately, he stayed alone and thought about it for a long time, and then summoned Gao Shi together, and discussed it for a long time, and the senior generals who were close to him were summoned to the tent again and announced the arrangements of the imperial court.

"With General Pang Zhong acting as the general manager of the Xikaidao march, and General Gu Huaien as his deputy, the military arrangements will continue to be implemented according to the strategy formulated by the commander! This time, when Ben Shuai returns to Beijing, in addition to handling important affairs, he will also ask for credit for the generals!"

Yang Xi did not tell the generals that he returned to Chang'an because his father Yang Guozhong's illness worsened, and he did not announce the secret edict passed to him by the imperial court to the generals, but only told the generals that he was ordered by the imperial court to return to Chang'an, and let Pang Zhong take charge of the post of the chief of the Xihai Road march.

Yang Xi's announcement of the order surprised all the generals, and no one expected that Yang Xi would return to Beijing before the war had completely subsided.

It stands to reason that Yang Xi's return to Beijing should be an edict issued by the imperial court's class teacher, and Yang Xi returned to Chang'an with most of the generals and the army, but now the imperial court only let Yang Xi return to Chang'an alone. This was an unusual move, and after listening to Yang Xi's announcement, all the generals were speculating about what had happened. It's just that no one can figure it out, and Gao Shi, the only one who knows the real reason, won't say anything.

After Yang Xi handed over the military affairs, he also returned to Chang'an immediately.

In order to reach Chang'an as soon as possible, Yang Xi and his guards rushed back to Chang'an by means of two or three horsemen and fast horses provided through the post station, and it only took ten days for him to rush from Fuqi City to Chang'an.

At this time, Chang'an is still the hot July season.

After going to the military department to simply hand over the military affairs, he hurriedly met with Emperor Li Longji and reported some military information, and Yang Xi immediately returned to Yang Guozhong's Wei State Mansion.

Yang Xi's three elder brothers were all in the Wei State Mansion, several sisters-in-law were also here, and other important Yang family members also stayed here.

Yang Xi rushed back from Qinghai so quickly, which surprised everyone.

"Mother, how is my father's condition?" didn't have time to take off his clothes, and he didn't have time to say anything else, so Yang Xi directly asked his mother Pei Rou, who came out with her eyes.

Pei Rou didn't answer Yang Xi's inquiry immediately, the youngest son returned to Chang'an from the front line, which made her very surprised, more and more tears and snot, holding Yang Xi's hand and asking about Yang Xi for a long time, most of them were about whether Yang Xi was injured in this campaign, whether he was hungry and freezing, and whether it was very hard to wait for the elders to care about the younger generations. Although Yang Xi was anxious, he still patiently answered Pei Rou's inquiry.

After Pei Rou knew that Yang Xi was fine, she stopped caring and told Yang Xi about Yang Guozhong's condition.

It turned out that Yang Guozhong's condition with a head injury has not completely improved, and he needs to be taken care of by someone in his daily life, but some basic life, such as going to the toilet, can be done by himself. A few days ago, maybe because of the heat stroke, Yang Guozhong fell down when he went to the thatched house to go to the toilet with the help of his subordinates, and the fatal thing was that the two subordinates who served him when he fell were a little far away, and they didn't have time to help, so the whole person fell to the ground heavily, his head was injured again, and his condition that had not fully recovered was aggravated again, and then he fell into a coma.

"Your father hasn't come to his senses yet!" When talking about Yang Guozhong's condition, Pei Rou was not very sad.

Although Pei Rou wiped her eyes and said things, Yang Xi could see from her expression that she did not feel from the bottom of her heart.

He didn't know what Pei Rou thought, he could only think that there was not much emotional foundation between Yang Guozhong and Pei Rou, or there were other reasons, but now was not the time to care about this, so after Pei Rou said these things, he begged: "Mother, let the child go in and see his father!"

Pei Rou naturally agreed, and accompanied Yang Xi into Yang Guozhong's bedroom.

Yang Guozhong was still asleep, and Yang Xi sat on his couch to visit him without any reaction.

Seeing Yang Guozhong, who was completely different from his handsome appearance in previous years because of a long-term injury, lying quietly on the couch like this, like a lifeless person, Yang Xi suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

Once upon a time, this old man on the sickbed dominated the direction of such a huge ship as Datang to a large extent, and became the hottest figure in Datang, because he did not do much good things, and was considered a traitor by the world. But no one expected that this "notorious" minister in history would now lie on the couch like this, and it seems that he will never get up.

"Is this retribution?"

Just when Yang Xi was sitting in front of Yang Guozhong's couch and sighed, Yang Guozhong opened his eyes magically. (To be continued......)
