My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 541 Triumph (please order all monthly tickets for rewards!)
In mid-August, Xianyang Palace.

When Fusu arrived in Xianyang, it was evening. The Weishui River was filled with the afterglow, and the waves on the water were bright red.

The weeping willows on the shore are still the same as last year, but in the dusk, each leaf looks like a golden fish; the breeze blows, whirling and swaying, like thousands of small fish swimming regularly.

"Woof woof woof woof——"

Suddenly, the dogs in every house outside the west gate of Xianyang City suddenly started barking.

Then, the sound of horses neighing was heard in the distance.

On the green extension line of the earth, military chariots stood next to each other, like fish jumping out of the water, jumping up from the lower part of the field dam and appearing in front of the Qin people.

Women and children who were busy at home heard the rumble of the carriage. The woman stepped on the stone and wooden stakes and looked at it, while the children ran out to watch.

As they ran, they shouted, "Father!"

"Father!"

The men in the car were also looking eagerly, looking for the little faces they longed for on these children. Even though he knew that his family didn't live in the west of the city at all.

Children have been looking and shouting on both sides of the road, but no one has come down to pick up these children.

It was not until all the military vehicles entered Xianyang City that these children left in disappointment.

As for the young women on the wall, they looked at the empty fields in the distance with great disappointment, and went back to chop wood and cook alone.

Smoke from cooking pots rises in curls, as straight as the tall Populus euphratica. The leaves were whirling in the wind, as if they were telling something.

These innocent and lively children ran out with excited faces, and finally ran back with disappointed faces, and could only hug the necks of their own yellow dogs.

Some were sitting on the ground, stubbornly holding the stones on the ground and refusing to leave.

A group of teenagers were herding sheep on the hillside. When they saw someone coming, someone waved and shouted to the passers-by.

"Who knows Chen Zhen?"

The tiger guards at the foot of the mountain responded loudly, "Who are you, Chen Zhen?"

"My father!"

The men burst into laughter, "You are such a filial boy!"

The young man also smiled sheepishly, but he still kept looking into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Fusu naturally strengthened his determination.

All Qin people cannot be allowed to repeat the same life generation after generation.

Ever since Fusu could remember, he had known that there was a folk song in the Qin State where a man was born away from home and a woman became a man's wife when she was born.

What this means is that the men of Qin State have to work since they are born, and when they grow up, they have to go out to fight. They keep fighting from young to old.

And all women will experience the absence of their father at home when they are born. When they grow up and get married, they will experience the absence of their husbands. When they finally raise their sons by themselves, the sons will not be at home again.

All ordinary women in the Qin State have to learn to work since childhood. When they get married, they have to take care of their parents-in-law, raise children, wash and cook, and work in the fields.

They not only hope that their husbands can return safely from the battlefield, but also hope that they can get meritorious service and have titles at home, so they don't have to travel anymore.

And some people's hair turns gray as they look forward to it...

They always wash clothes by the Wei River, and the water in the Wei River always makes a whimpering sound and flows into the distance.

Seeing this, Fusu was naturally in a bad mood when he returned home.

But as soon as they entered Xianyang City, there was a huge crowd.

Even though the road had been cleared, Fusu could still hear the noise of people from the street next door.

"Prince! The prince is back!"

"Great Qin will be victorious!"

"The prince is mighty!"

Someone was running and screaming in Xianyang City on wooden clogs, causing more and more people in the city to know about it.

There are four large areas in Xianyang City, east, west, north and south. The northwest is Xianyang Palace, and the rest are places where common people live.

To the south and west of the city, there are mostly noble families.

The guards standing on the city gate overlooking the entire Xianyang City saw it. People from all over Xianyang City were approaching the West Straight Road from all directions, and Xianyang City seemed to be in a state of explosion.

Everyone got out of the houses, and more and more people were standing on the streets. The courtyards of every house were deserted, with only dogs left to look after the houses.

There was no one on the straight road, and the prince's carriage was being pulled by a white horse, galloping in the direction of Xianyang Palace.

Now Fusu couldn't even return to the city in a low-key manner.

Many residents in the city were alarmed. They looked through the corridors between the streets and houses just to see Fusu's car.

They crowded together in one place, causing the horizontal corridors in the city to be packed with water.

The soldiers responsible for security in Xianyang City drove chariots and even used weapons to barely maintain order.

Some wealthy businessmen would lower curtains on two-story buildings on weekdays to carefully protect themselves. But today, they didn't care about that. They opened the windows one after another and stood on the corridor, specifically to look at Fusu.

Feng Jing took a look and saw that there were black heads on both sides. They were like a flood about to break out, and they were fighting against the security forces acting as a dam. As long as the army retreats a little, they can rush over.

Guan Fu looked at this situation and felt that it was not good.

There were people everywhere, roars everywhere, and some people had been trampled to the ground.

If the control is not good, people will die.

In order to ensure safety, he could only send Fusu's bronze-covered carriage to Xianyang Palace as quickly as possible.

Fusu occasionally glanced at the crowd while sitting in the car, and couldn't help but think of the crowd cheering when Ying Zheng rode out of the city gate on horseback.

"Who said that if the father is too strong, the son will be too weak?" When the carriage entered the center of the city, Hu Benwei's family members rushed out, shouting the names of their family members.

"Wei Le——"

"Chang Zhao——"

"Black butt——"

But when the Tiger Guards heard the call of their family members, they just looked over happily, with joy on their dark and dark faces.

They did not respond to their families.

Because the responsibility of protecting the prince always comes first.

"The prince will return in triumph soon,"

"Prince——"

"Prince——"

In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng was standing on the tower overlooking the grand occasion with Li Si, Meng Wu, Meng Yi and others.

"It's really a sight that only happens once in a hundred years."

"Yeah, who would have thought that the prince not only won the battle, but also did it without losing any blood, and that the Chu army collapsed in just half a year."

Li Si spoke objectively from the side.

"When a widower has a son, there will be no regrets in life." Ying Zheng said happily while looking at the grand scene in Xianyang City.

Zhang Han looked at the Tiger Guards who gathered around Fusu. They enjoyed the cheers of the people and listened to the triumphal hymns. The palace was already preparing a banquet for Fusu's triumphant return.

Although he has been reused, as a man born and raised in the land of Qin, there is no merit that can be compared to military achievements on the battlefield.

Zhang Han stared straight at Fusu's carriage.

On the side, Lin Xin was very excited looking at the carriage, his hands clenched into fists, but he didn't know in what capacity he should go to see the prince.

But when he turned around and saw Zhao Gao again, Lin Xin couldn't help but frown.

The prince is back, why haven't I killed Zhao Gao yet?

No, I must kill Zhao Gao and make the prince happy!

Zhao Gao met Xin's eyes without a trace of fear in his eyes. Even though he knew that the prince was back, he was not afraid at all.

In this palace, there are bright and dark things. If there is really a liquidation, the king can be removed from his position.

I'm not afraid of you!

When they were about to enter the palace gate, the sun was setting, and several old people were wearing luxurious dark clothes, standing beside the weeping willows of Ba Bridge to greet Fusu.

These people are the current Prime Minister and Jiu Qing respectively.

They stood together at the edge of Ba Bridge and waited until Fusu came over. They all cheered.

"Fusu actually asked the princes to greet him on the Ba Bridge. It really shouldn't have happened."

Wang Wan looked at Fusu with affection in her eyes, "The prince is too modest. With such military exploits, let alone the fact that we should come out to greet him, he is the king..."

Wei Zhuang pulled Wang Wan.

"The king said he wanted to come to the city gate to greet the prince. We had great difficulty in persuading him because we were afraid that the people in the city would get too excited and cause trouble. But I didn't expect that the people in the city would cheer for joy."

Yao Jia smiled at Fusu.

Fusu glanced at Wang Wan, who looked slightly older. The old prime minister had something on his mind.

I haven’t seen you for half a year, why am I so haggard? Like a wife who has lost her husband's love.

"For the benefit of the common people, what kind of credit is there? As a son, it is also my duty to share the worries of my father. Although I am the prince, if there are no prime ministers and ministers to provide food and grass in the rear, how can I do it? How about winning without distraction on the front line?”

"Fusu should be grateful to the two prime ministers and all the ministers."

Fusu bowed.

When these old men heard this, they all laughed from ear to ear.

"We old guys have long been useless and cannot deserve the reputation of a prince."

"Yes, we can only do some trivial things for the prince."

As soon as Fusu praised them, these veterans began to gasp.

Thinking that these old guys were about to get older before their lives began to turn out as they wished, Fusu followed their wishes and said, "You are still better when you are old. If these guys say that again, Fusu will probably spread the word in the future." He has a reputation for being self-willed."

After exchanging greetings with a few prime ministers, the people in Xianyang City burst into sharp shouts, "The prince is mighty!"

"The prince is mighty!"

Feng Jing looked at the crowd. There were women everywhere leading their children and shouting. He couldn't help but mutter, "Why are there so many women and children here today?"

In the past, only men cheered for victory in war, while women waited at home.

This time it was unusual.

Wang Wanze said, "The prince defeated the Chu State and saved the lives of thousands of Qin soldiers. After hearing this, the women of the Qin State were grateful to the prince."

Fusu looked back at these common people, and his mood was completely different from the first time he saw them.

Fusu thought they were coming to celebrate his success, but it turned out that they were coming to thank him for allowing the man in their family to come back alive.

Fusu turned around and bowed to the people of Xianyang in all directions.

Then Fusu bid farewell to the prime minister and all the ministers, and walked to Xianyang City.
