There weren't many knowledgeable people in Tianzhu, nor did they have the heritage and culture of the Central Plains. Because in a place like Tianzhu, studying was almost impossible. The lowest class of people had no chance to study when they were born. It was impossible to change their fate.
Du Qi understood the situation in Tianzhu and Kenpo Province clearly. He already had some ideas in his mind.
He wanted to subvert Tianzhu, and the caste system was the starting point. As long as he broke Tianzhu's caste system, everything would explode. Therefore, in Tianzhu, Du Qi wanted to take over Tianzhu. He didn't have to care about the gains and losses of a city or a piece of land. The focus was on the reform of the system.
After Du Qi and Vadhara's conversation, he already had a general idea of how to attack Tianzhu.
If it was before, Du Qi's idea would definitely be very simple.
It was to crush everything along the way.
Conquer everything along the way.
In fact, this kind of conquering did not subvert Tianzhu, nor did he truly take over Tianzhu. Although Tianzhu's various places surrendered, it was only because of Du Qi's strength.
This was not the result that Du Qi wanted.
The result that Du Qi wanted was true assimilation.
Why did the Central Plains always have a unified empire? It was because of the cohesion of culture. It was because everyone had deep-rooted thoughts in their minds. Du Qi also wanted to make changes here in Tianzhu. He wanted to inject his thoughts into Tianzhu so that as long as the entire region of Tianzhu submitted to him, they would have to submit to Xia Xia and no longer think about returning to the era of city-states.
Not long after, Xue Rengui had returned, and all the troops of Kenpo Province were detained.
Xue Rengui cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, we have the entire city under control. We can enter the city now."
"Let's go!"
Du Qi nodded and ordered.
"Your Majesty, please."
Vadhara took the lead and walked in front.
Now that he had chosen to submit, he no longer put on airs and led Du Qi's group into the city. Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang were responsible for the defense of the city, so the two of them went straight to settle the troops. As for Mordor and the others, they escorted Du Qi's group to the Imperial Residence in Kenpo Province. After entering the city, they arrived at Vadhara's Imperial Palace.
The power of the palace had already been taken over by Mordor's men. Du Qi sat in the main seat, followed by Shangguan Yi and the others. However, Vadhara, Devadatta, and a few others looked nervous.
They submitted to Du Qi.
However, from the beginning to the end, Du Qi did not say how he was going to settle them down, so this point was extremely crucial.
Especially Vadhara.
He was the most nervous.
According to Tianzhu's customs, when the King of Jieri went north to suppress the various countries, Vadhara directly expressed his submission and was willing to submit to the King of Jieri. He was also willing to pay taxes and compensation. The King of Jieri did not punish him and allowed him to continue to be the Monarch of Kenpo Province and control Kenpo Province.
This was Tianzhu's custom.
However, Du Qi was different. Du Qi came from Xia Xia. He did not know how Du Qi would arrange things and whether he would follow Tianzhu's customs. Ba Tuoluo stood in the middle of the hall, uneasy.
As Vadhara waited, Du Qi said, "Vadhara, it involves your punishment. It's a little difficult for me. Because Kenpo Province will definitely be changed. It will no longer be a country, but a province under Xia Xia. As for the name change, from a simple and easy to remember point of view, it will be Jiantuo Luozhou. According to my Xia Xia's arrangement, each province will have a provincial governor who will only be in charge of government affairs and the division of government affairs. The provincial governor will be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and will also be appointed by the imperial court. "
When Vadhara heard Du Qi's words, he was actually a little nervous. This was because Du Qi would not arrange things according to Tianzhu's customs.
Du Qi was already going to change provinces. According to Xia Xia's customs, could he still continue to be the governor of Jiantuo Luozhou? Most likely not. Vadhara was a little worried, but he still said, "Your Majesty, Vadhara will follow your arrangements. No matter what Your Majesty arranges, I am willing. "
Du Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if I ask you to go through water and tread on fire, you are willing?"
"I am willing!"
Vadhara didn't even need to think before replying.
Since he had pledged allegiance to Du Qi, he had to act like one. If he was still disloyal at this time, his end would not be good. In particular, a god-like character like Du Qi was even more so not to be easily offended.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "Vadhara, if you are willing to go through water and tread on fire, and are willing to serve me. Then, I can appoint you as the governor of Jiantuo Luozhou. "
"This subject is willing!"
Vadhara didn't even need to think before kneeling and kowtowing. For Vadhara, to be able to continue to hold power and serve as the governor of a province was simply a heaven-sent opportunity. Although the governor of a province was under the emperor's jurisdiction and had no military power, at least he wasn't being set aside by Du Qi after surrendering.
In contrast to Vadhara's delight, Shangguan Yi and the others were frowning slightly. It was just that Du Qi had already made the arrangements, so none of them said anything and temporarily suppressed their thoughts.
Du Qi's sharp eyes sensed the thoughts of Shangguan Yi and the others. He said without saying anything, "Vadhara, now that you have pledged allegiance, you will move out of the palace today and choose to work in the provincial governor's office. At the same time, you can discuss the personnel you want to fill in the provincial governor's office and then report to me for review. I will give you one day to prepare. Come see me tomorrow morning and bring the people you want to bring to work. "
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Vadhara's heart also settled down.
He still had power and influence.
That was enough.
Vadhara immediately took his leave, because it would take some time to rearrange the provincial governor's office. Fortunately, there were many of his properties in the city, so it wasn't particularly difficult to rearrange the provincial governor's office.
After Vadhara, Devadatta, and the others left, only Du Qi's subordinates were left in the main hall.
Shangguan Yi immediately suggested, "Your Majesty, this subject believes that it is not appropriate to let Vadhara continue to be the provincial governor. No matter the reason, no matter what considerations there are. If Vadhara continues to be the provincial governor, it will easily cause problems. Ba Tuoluo used to be the monarch of Hunluo Country, but he had been a lone Daoist for many years. Deep down, he was used to the power of the past. If he continued to be the provincial governor, he might not do anything when His Majesty was around. But once Your Majesty leaves with the army, he might change. "
Ma Zhou said, "Your Majesty, this subject agrees with Mister Shangguan's analysis."
Following closely, Lai Ji, Guan Zhilan, Xue Rengui, and Su Dingfang also expressed their opinions. Everyone had the same opinion, that Vadhara was not trustworthy at all, and that Vadhara should not be appointed as the provincial governor.
Du Qi laughed when he heard this.
Everyone's opposition was reasonable, because according to normal circumstances, Du Qi should not arrange for Vadhara to be the new provincial governor of Jiantuo Province. He should have taken Vadhara away.
Du Qi did not beat around the bush, and said directly, "The reason why I kept Vadhara and arranged for Vadhara to be the provincial governor is because of the special reason. The fundamental reason is because of the special situation in India, which requires the presence of Bartolo. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, please explain."
Everyone looked at Du Qi, waiting for Du Qi to explain the reason.
