On the third day, Prince Fusu returned with his army.
Zhao Qingrui and Yin Man followed Prince Gao out of the city to welcome Prince Fusu.
It has been several days since Zhao Qingrui returned to the palace. She has become familiar with the palace. Except for the concubines, she can already call out the names of her other brothers and sisters, and even their family members.
This time, Prince Jianglu also came out to welcome Prince Fusu.
"Are you nervous, little sister?" Young Master Jianglu asked with a smile.
"I'm not nervous, I'm quite looking forward to it. I haven't met my eldest brother yet, and I don't know if he will like me. I have even prepared a gift for my eldest brother." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile. As for the gift, it was made in the past few days.
After asking the elder sister-in-law, she learned Fusu's size and made him a set of clothes.
"Little sister, you are such a good boy, I will definitely like you." Jiang Lu said gently. Zhao Qingrui got along well with these brothers and sisters during this period. In addition, she would send some snacks from time to time to make these nephews and nieces happy, and everyone liked her very much.
Just as the brother and sister were talking, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Zhao Qingrui looked up and saw that it was the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, with the black dragon flag dancing in the sun.
The person in the front was riding a maroon horse, wearing fish-scale armor and a sword hanging from his waist. He was Prince Fusu.
Fusu also saw the person who came to greet him, and his serious face softened.
"Congratulations, big brother, for capturing the remnants of the Chu State. Welcome back, big brother." Gongzi Gao walked over with Zhao Qingrui and the others.
Zhao Qingrui looked at Prince Fusu. He was indeed a rare handsome man as history said. Even though he was wearing fish scale armor, his elegant and refined temperament could not be concealed.
"This is what I should do." Fusu chuckled and gently patted Gongzi Gao's shoulder.
"This is my little sister, right? I didn't prepare anything well when I returned to the palace, so I'll give this to you." Fusu took out a jade ring from his arms. This was a good thing he found in the inventory of the remnants of the Chu State.
"Thank you, big brother. I like it very much." Zhao Qingrui took it and smiled sweetly. The big brother looked at her with such gentle eyes.
Zhao Qingrui wailed in her heart, how could such a gentle and handsome guy be her brother?
"As long as you like it." Seeing his sister so well-behaved, Fusu unconsciously raised his hand and rubbed her head.
Although the brother and sister met for the first time, they did not feel unfamiliar with each other. Of course, this was mainly because Prince Fusu was too gentle.
As the eldest son, Fusu took good care of his younger brothers and sisters and was not partial to anyone, including Zhao Qingrui.
"If you encounter anything you don't understand in the future, you can just come and ask me."
The brother and sister chatted for a while and got closer before the army continued to march towards Xianyang, carrying the remnants of the Chu State with them.
Zhao Qingrui and Yin Man were riding side by side on the way back to the palace. To be honest, she was quite interested in Zhang Liang at this moment.
But we haven't returned to Xianyang City yet, so it's impossible for us to stop and let her go see Zhang Liang.
As for Xiang Yu, she didn't have much interest in him. He was indeed a great hero in history, but he also had a black spot that could not be washed away. When Xiang Yu started his rebellion against Qin, he often massacred cities.
Because of Xiang Yu's cruelty, he lost the support of the people, and the people finally turned to Liu Bang.
When Fusu and others returned, Ying Zheng came in person.
The appearance of Ying Zheng excited all the soldiers.
Li Si, Feng Quji and others also followed Ying Zheng and inspected the remnants of the Chu State.
"Take them both away and imprison them again." Ying Zheng pointed at Zhang Liang and Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu had his mouth blocked and looked at Ying Zheng angrily.
Ying Zheng glanced at him indifferently. He was indeed tall and strong, much stronger than the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty. He didn't know if such a person could be used by him.
He looked at Zhang Liang. The attack on Bolingsha was planned by this man. If he had not made a lot of preparations in advance, he might have really been doomed.
The emperor's gaze made Zhang Liang feel a chill down his spine. He looked at Ying Zheng with hatred in his eyes. It was he who destroyed his home.
"Soldiers of the Great Qin, you have made an invaluable contribution in capturing the remnants of the Chu and Han kingdoms this time. I will reward you handsomely." Ying Zheng stood on the stage, with tens of thousands of sharp Qin soldiers below him.
"Long live your majesty, long live the Great Qin."
"wind."
"wind."
"wind."
"Strong wind."
The soldiers roared in deep voices. Zhao Qingrui, who was standing not far behind Ying Zheng, watched this scene and also became excited.
Ying Zheng personally rewarded those soldiers who had made contributions, which instantly brought his prestige to the extreme.
During this period, many houses were raided, and there were also things that Fusu brought back from Kuaiji County. Ying Zheng was much more generous in rewarding these people.
However, this time he did not reward land. The land of Daqin was annexed by those nobles, and there was no land available for distribution in the court.
We can only wait until the end of the year when the grain is harvested, and then change the Qin Dynasty's land tax system and redistribute the land.
Zhao Qingrui looked at her father's back, so majestic. This was her father, and she felt infinite pride in her heart.
The twenty-level military merit system proposed by Shang Yang used by the Qin Dynasty made the Qin soldiers extremely sharp, like a sword that could be unsheathed at any time and only take the enemy's heart.
Ying Zheng temporarily put on hold the reward for Prince Fusu, as the assessment of all officials was approaching, and some people would certainly be eliminated.
Fusu didn't mind that he didn't receive any reward. He was very happy to see that the soldiers below were living well.
At Ying Zheng's command, all the captives were sent to Mount Li to build the imperial mausoleum.
At this point, the mobilization meeting ended and the morale of the soldiers was extremely high.
After returning to Zhangtai Palace, several young masters, as well as Yin Man and Zhao Qingrui, were called over.
Seeing Zhao Qingrui and Yin Man, Li Si's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes, here it comes again. His Majesty has called the little princess over, and Princess Yin Man is just an incidental figure.
Meng Yi stood silently behind Zhao Qingrui. He didn't quite understand His Majesty's intention.
As for the Feng brothers, they didn't say anything either.
Li Si was usually the first to jump out in such matters, but this time he said nothing, which was very unusual, so the two brothers did not say much.
"Fusu, tell me about your gains this time." Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and asked.
"Yes." Fusu bowed. When he came back this time, there were many changes in the palace. His father had changed the most. He had lost a lot of weight and looked healthier.
With the stool, Ying Zheng liked to sit down and handle government affairs. The desk was also raised a lot, so he no longer had to look up at people.
"This time we wiped out 732 remnants of the Chu State and captured 5,428 people. The harvest..." Fusu reported the gains of this trip.
