Chapter 2444 Smile
'Father, Brother, I have fulfilled your dream…'
For a moment, Emperor Qi Kan Tian felt that he could see the future figure of his older brother smiling in his direction kindly.
The same older brother who always supported him and cared for him.
Many other people in other imperial family have thorny relationship with their siblings. Because they feared the other party would want to take the throne that should have belonged to them. Thus, they made sure that their siblings were not as good as them.
But for Emperor Qi Kan Tian and his older brother, the throne was his brother's position and Emperor Qi Kan Tian didn't want it.
It was just that…it fell to his hand in the end. "From now on, let me live my dream, okay?" Emperor Qi Kan Tian whispered in a low voice and cupped his fist, bowed slightly and then left. His footsteps were firm and determined.
But as he reached the door, he felt a faint gust of wind from behind him, lifting his robe and his long hair slightly. The wind felt cool and warm at the same time as if it was his older brother who was accompanying him.
Emperor Qi Kan Tian stopped in his footsteps and looked behind him.
He smiled and then truly left.
…
The news of Qi Xi Kingdom's surrender to Fei Yang Kingdom quickly spread in the entire Qi Xi Kingdom. Under the control of Emperor Qi Kan Tian, the people didn't resist this matter too much and then the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom entered to start the changes. Everything went smoothly.
So smooth that the people below didn't seem to feel anything aside from the fact that there were more rules and standard of their lives. They were told to slowly adapt to this, but other than that, there didn't seem to be much differences. This made the people below felt somewhat unreal.
And the people who used to have high position in Qi Xi Kingdom were reshuffled. Some of them were retained, some were demoted and some others were promoted. Within a month's time, many things have changed. "General Hao, what brings you to the Xi City?" Former Prime Minister Hao asked with a helpless smile. Qi Xi Kingdom's Capital City was renamed as Xi City.
Emperor Qi Kan Tian was ordered to leave while the other ministers were allowed to stay. Some of them were executed, though, which seemed to be used as examples because of their deeds during the merging period. Former Prime Minister Hao had now become a governor in this city and still held some power.
The vice governor who assisted him was someone from Fei Yang Kingdom, though. It could be said that this person was brought here to help and monitor him at the same time.
And Governor Hao chose to accept this arrangement.
He only felt some pity for Emperor Qi Kan Tian. General Hao, who was the highest ranked general in Qi Xi Kingdom, had also chosen to switch his allegiance to Fei Yang Kingdom following the entire Qi Xi Kingdom. There was no point for him waging a war on his own either way. Besides, the army under him were not as many as the soldiers under Fei Yang Kingdom.
Rather than fighting a pointless battle, it would be better for him to follow the order that was given to him. At the same time, General Hao is also Governor Hao's cousin. They were not that close to each other but now they were asked to work together. "I have already cleaned up the few small rebels around the city," General Hao said calmly. "There are not many people who are opposed of His Majesty's order."
"I'm sure those who opposed are mostly the younger people," Governor Hao said.
General Hao nodded.
These people who were born after the situation stabilized didn't understand that their Qi Xi Kingdom was actually a weakened kingdom after the long war in the past. They thought that their kingdom was powerful.
Why did they give up?
Some of them were unwilling and buried this thoughts in their heart and chose to follow along with the arrangement. But some others voiced it out and even arranged for some rebellions, which was vanquished by General Hao before they could even spread.
Since Qi Xi Kingdom's territory was not large in the first place, General Hao finished his work very quickly. Once he was done, he came here.
"Governor Hao, do you think it's possible for me to see His Majesty before he left?" General Hao asked.
"Hmm?" Governor Hao was surprised. He looked at General Hao with some suspicion. "His Majesty will go soon and I don't think you know him personally."
"I don't. I just want to pay respect to him." General Hao smiled. "Without his instruction during the joint war many years ago, Qi Xi Kingdom might have suffered more losses."
There was a joint war against Fei Yang Kingdom more than a decade ago. At that time, it was General Hao who stepped forward and represented Qi Xi Kingdom and led his soldiers to the frontline. The other kingdoms all felt that Qi Xi Kingdom was a small kingdom that was not worthy of attention.
But because of their status and the fact that taking over Qi Xi Kingdom would also be troubles, they still invited them back then.
Qi Xi kingdom didn't refuse.
They couldn't show blatantly that they were on the side of Fei Yang Kingdom and only Emperor Qi Kan Tian knew that.
So he simply gave instruction for General Hao to follow in with the motion but there was no need for him to work so hard. Because Emperor Qi Kan Tian didn't want to see Fei Yang Kingdom lost.
Governor Hao was silent for a moment.
He seemed to understand what his cousin wanted and then he shook his head. "I don't think it's necessary. HIs Majesty will say the same whoever the general is since it's for Qi Xi Kingdom."
