The surrender of Emperor Yan represented the end of the resistance of the Yan system. After that, although some cities were still in the hands of the remnants of the Yan Kingdom, there was no need for Li Hao to keep an eye on it personally.

arranged for his generals to preside, and Li Hao himself led 3,000 battalions to rush to Shengzhou, and this time he would personally teach Li Falcon a lesson.

After all, in Anwu and Wu, Li Falcon's attitude is more resolute, as long as he can be beaten back, Yang Xingyuan will definitely not dare to continue this war.

Li Falcon didn't expect that Li Hao would leave behind the army deep in the hinterland of Yan Country at this time and appear in the army in front of him.

He didn't expect that in front of him, there would be a gift-giving team composed of two hundred artillery pieces. So in a frontal confrontation with more and fewer fights, he was bombarded by artillery and broke his backbone, and he could only flee back with the remnants of the army.

With the retreat of the An army, the Wu army, under the order of Yang Xingyuan, also chose to retreat, and quickly sent envoys.

This time, he didn't send Ning Yuanzhou again, because Yang Xingyuan gave Ning Yuanzhou another task, that is, to secretly contact Yang Ying, hoping to rely on Yang Ying to maintain peace between the two countries.

It's just that in private, Yang Xingyuan gave an explanation to Ning Yuanzhou and asked if he could get rid of Li Hao through Yang Ying.

Obviously, Yang Xingyuan didn't have much hope of defeating Li Hao on the frontal battlefield, and began to ponder these crooked ways.

Ning Yuanzhou didn't want to agree to this request, because as long as Yang Ying had this mind, no matter whether he succeeded or not, the result would be a dead end.

But unfortunately, in the face of Yang Xingyuan's threat, Ning Yuanzhou's so-called attitude is really not very important. However, no matter what Yang Xingyuan planned in the future, now this war has finally come to an end.

Except for the area around Wuyuan, where Chu Yuan was located, other places have gradually calmed down. At this point, Li Hao's energy returned to the land of Yan that he occupied, and this time Li Hao planned to take the opportunity of straightening out the land of Yan and directly implement the new policy of spreading the land into acres.

Anyway, this is the wealthy people of Yandi, facing the blood on the walls of various places, which has not yet been washed, this enthusiasm is probably not bad.

This busyness is the rest of the month, and after the initial stability of Yandi, Li Hao can let go of the matter and hand it over to the courtiers and start to return to the capital by himself.

It was this walk that Li Hao found some problems. Originally, when it was only to take half of the Chu Kingdom, the location of the capital was a little biased to the west, but it was also convenient to connect the east and west.

But now after taking the Yan Kingdom, the distance between this Sudu and the easternmost part of the Su Kingdom is too great, which will greatly affect the imperial court's control over the place.

Coupled with the short distance between the north and the south, the territory of Suguo today presents a long strip, so Li Hao can't help but start thinking about moving the capital.

But after thinking about it again, in a few years, the two countries of Anwu will be attacked, and after the unification of the world, the area of this country will change again, and it will be difficult to move again.

You must know that moving the capital is different from ordinary people moving, it took Zhu Di 20 years in the Ming Dynasty to successfully move the capital, and the manpower and material resources spent are incalculable.

So after thinking about it, Li Hao temporarily gave up the idea of moving the capital and found a place from Chudi as a palace instead.

In this way, if Li Hao wants to command in the middle in the future, he can go to the palace, and at the same time, he can also plant the seeds of moving the capital in the hearts of civil and military officials, so that they can prepare in advance.

After trekking all the way to the capital of Suzhou, Li Hao had a good night's sleep, thinking about recovering his spirits. As a result, before he could recover, Ren Xin came over with a secret letter.

"This is someone sent from outside the palace, through those rouges." Li Hao took the secret letter, and after reading the content roughly, he said: "Yang Xingyuan wants Yang Ying to blow more pillow wind for me, it seems that he was frightened by me." Keep in touch this way and see if they have any other plans. Ren Xin replied: "Okay, then I'll reply to him." After talking about this matter, Li Hao stretched out his hand and hugged Ren Xin on his lap and asked, "During my absence, did anything happen in the palace?" Yang Ying, have they caused you any trouble? Ren Xin resisted slightly, and when he saw that he couldn't resist, he didn't bother anymore.

"Yang Ying is nothing, it's just that Concubine Wu found the queen to make trouble a few times, but the queen is kind-hearted, and it is understandable to think of her, so she was not severely punished, but she was just ordered to be confined in her palace." This Concubine Wu was originally sent by Yan Guo to maintain the relationship, if she could know the proportions, Li Hao would not be unable to tolerate her.

So he said: "Then let her reflect in the palace, and then when the royal family of Yan Kingdom arrives, I will let them meet and see if they can eliminate the barrier." Then you have to help take care of it during this time, after all, there are many servants in the palace who have no rules, don't really let her be bullied by the slaves. Facing Li Hao's words, Ren Xin couldn't help but show a strange smile: "You destroyed your homeland, but now you are pretending to be a good person." Li Hao smiled: "I've always been a good person, so this good person has to be rewarded." After speaking, Li Hao picked up Ren Xin and walked towards the bed, after all, Li Hao had been out to fight for several months, and when he came back, he naturally had to serve his wife well.

After resting for a few days, Li Hao began to work in the court. As the territory of the host country grows larger, the number of state affairs to deal with has increased.

In addition, there was a backlog of twists and turns that Zhang Han had not handled well, but Li Hao was busy for a long time before he stopped.

At this time, he remembered Chu Yuan again, so he found Chen Xi and asked, "I remember that Wuyuan's An army has already retreated?" Why haven't you come to the capital yet? Chen Xi replied: "The Duke of Chu Guo is already on the way, and it will take about three days to reach the capital, and the mansion arranged for them in the city has also been prepared, and the first concubine has sent some people over." Li Hao nodded: "That's good, when they arrive at Chuyuan, I will summon them into the palace, let Chuguifei meet her father and brother, and have lunch together." When I finish my lunch, let Chu Yuan come to see me alone. Chen Xi said that he remembered this, and after Chuyuan entered the capital, he personally went to Chufu.

He condoled to Chu Yuan and told them the process of entering the palace tomorrow. Chu Yuan was still very happy to see his daughter, but Chu Yue's stupid brother was a little apprehensive.

But in the Chu family, he can't be the master, as long as he can follow Chu Yuan honestly. Early the next morning, Chu Yuan took his son and daughter-in-law and entered the palace under the guidance of the chamberlain.

After seeing the first moon, when even began to salute: "The ministers will meet the noble concubine." It's just that as soon as Chu Yue saw this posture, she hurriedly stepped forward to support Chu Yuan and said, "Father, Your Majesty is not here, why do you need to make this big gift." Hearing this, the couple who followed Chu Yuan responded decisively and stood up.

Only Chu Yuan insisted: "The difference between monarchs and ministers, etiquette cannot be abolished." Then the ceremony was decisively completed, Chu Yuan saluted, and the couple who had just stood up could only kneel down again.

After the salute, Hatsuki quickly sat them down and asked them how they were doing. Chu Yuan didn't say anything when he heard this, let alone complain.

Even when Chu Ming wanted to fight for the next title, Chu Yuan directly interrupted. And taught: "Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, and there is no need for others to worry about such things, and the mother should not ask about it." As Chu Yuan's words fell, Chen Xi appeared at the door of the hall and said, "Guifei Niangniang, Your Majesty is just free now, and the Duke of Xuanchu Guo is going to Ningde Palace." Based on her respect for Chen Xi, Chu Yue also got up and said hello: "Father-in-law Chen, I don't know what happened when Your Majesty summoned my father. In addition, my brother and sister-in-law, do you want to go together? Chen Xi replied: "Your Majesty only summoned the Duke of Chu Guo, as for what was discussed, it is not for the slave maid to know." Chu Yuan asked himself if it would be okay, after all, he was also a meritorious man, so he got up and said, "Then there is Lao Chen's father-in-law." However, Chu Yuan did not leave directly, but first told his son and daughter-in-law to let them stay here at ease and not talk nonsense.

On the way to Ningde Palace, Chu Yuan talked to Chen Xi. It is said that they still had a relationship before, that is, the time when Li Hao rushed to the camp to catch Chu Yuan.

This opened the topic, Chen Xi recalled the original time, and was willing to accompany the conversation. This attitude made Chu Yuan even more reassured, after all, Chen Xi's situation had also been seen in the letters before Chu Yue.

If Li Hao really wanted to deal with himself, then Chen Xi would never be so polite. Entering the Ningde Hall and seeing Li Hao sitting on the dragon chair, Chu Yuan saluted respectfully.

Li Hao accepted it very calmly, and then gave him a seat, and began to care about what he had seen and heard along the way.

Although Chu Yuan didn't understand the meaning of Li Hao's question, he still praised Li Hao, saying that Li Hao had a good way of governing the country.

In the face of praise, Li Hao was not modest, after all, the road they took was the original Qidi. After the New Deal reform and the promotion of Yixue, it is indeed a thriving scene.

"How does it compare to Anguo?" What else can Chu Yuan say, of course, it is another boast, saying that An Guo is far less rich than Su Guo.

After all, he has already voted for it, which has already shown his attitude. Li Hao said with a smile: "Yes, I just want the people of the world to enjoy a life of abundant food and clothing, but it's a pity that some people are narrow-minded and only for their own selfish interests." However, as long as this righteous division arrives, those people will not be able to turn over the storm, so I don't know if you are willing to help. Chu Yuan muttered in his heart when he heard this, you are obviously ambitious and want to annex other countries, this is in front of yourself, you still need to say it so tactfully.

However, Chu Yuan did not have the need to break it, but said firmly: "The minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty." ”

"Okay, I really didn't misunderstand you, the first prince has always been like this for the country and the people." After speaking, Li Hao waved his hand to Chen Xi and asked him to bring up the edict that had already been prepared.

Li Hao prepared a total of two copies of this edict, and this one was brought up to retain the title of Duke of Chuguo for Chu Yuan, and the edict could be inherited for three generations.

It can be regarded as a reward for Chu Yuan's decisive attitude, and he did not hesitate when it was time to contribute. If he haggled, then Li Hao would let the second edict follow the usual practice of his relatives and give him an earl.

"Chu Guogong has just come to the capital, and he must have been tired of traveling, so he can rest for a few days and then come to the court." Chu Yuan expressed his gratitude, and then Li Hao asked Chen Xi to send him back to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue naturally asked what Li Hao said to Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan didn't explain much, just took out the edict.

This early moon can be regarded as completely relieved, after all, not everyone has the position of the prince of the country, which means that Li Hao will not do anything to him.

Otherwise, what is sealed today will be abolished tomorrow, and that is not a slap in the face of Li Hao. Continuing to talk, the three of them returned to Fuzhong.

As soon as Chu Ming entered the house, he asked Chu Yuan for the edict, and read it word by word. Finally, he said: "I wanted to ask just now in the palace, Your Majesty's edict only gave me a knighthood, and did not arrange an official position for my father, let alone how to settle the Shaxi people who came with us?" Chu Yuan replied: "There has never been a tribe in Suguo that lived together, and after Shaxi entered, it was natural that he would have to follow the customs of the countryside and make up the households. This kind of thing is naturally arranged by local officials, and you don't need to worry about it. Chu Ming was accustomed to treating the tribe as his own property, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "What, isn't that Your Majesty taking advantage of it, and besides, we still have so many riding slaves?" Chu Yuan knew what Chu Ming was thinking, and replied: "With your sister and the title of Duke Chu Guo, glory and wealth are naturally indispensable to you." Now that we have entered the host country, we naturally have to abide by the laws of the host country, and slaves are not allowed here, so don't mention the matter of riding slaves. When Chu Ming heard this, although he agreed, he still felt a little heartache after all.

But then his distress was cured, because Chen Xi escorted several carts of treasures to the house.

"Your Majesty knows that the riding slaves are private property in Anguo, and it would be too harsh if they were confiscated rashly, so he ordered the slaves and maids to send these things, which were regarded as a ransom for those riding slaves." Chu Yuan was naturally unwilling to accept it, so he wanted Chen Xi to pull him back.

But Chen Xi said: "This is specially explained by His Majesty, and it is not aimed at the Guogong family. Only then did Chu Yuan understand that he had been set up as a model, so he didn't refuse again.

Of course, Li Hao didn't spend much money, after all, it was not exactly real money, and there were many treasures such as glass and pearls, which were completely mass-produced.

It's worth selling outside, but it's very limited in Li Hao. Regarding the official position of Chu Yuan's father and son, Chu Ming's ability is really not good, so he gave him an idle position in the Ministry of Rites, and just enjoy life in the capital with peace of mind.

At the beginning of the year, Li Hao let him enter the military department as a squire to staff on the future war against Anguo, which is also what he is best at.
