……

The affairs of the palace have been rumored among the people, and the matter has become clearer and clearer in the past few days, and even the list of the harem has been circulated one after another.

A certain concubine used to be Zhao Wangqian's wife, and now she is forty-eight years old, with a bloated body and an old character, and has confirmed that she will be dismissed, but I heard that her son is still living in Xianyang, so she will naturally take her home to live for the rest of her life.

A woman was the queen of the king of Chu, aged thirty-six, because the woman was a concubine, attacked and killed the king of Chu to ascend the throne, and the throne was not right, so she was confined by Qin Shi Huang in the palace of the king of Chu in Xianyang and died, and there were no heirs left, but I heard that this woman was quite beautiful, although the age was on the older side, but still had many good princes and princesses liked, and they asked if they could marry home, and they could return to the wife of the king of Chu once a day in this life, and they would definitely be able to show off their ancestors for several lifetimes.

In the past few days, the entire Xianyang, whether it is a prince or a wealthy businessman, and even millions of people who have watched the excitement of soy sauce are discussing this matter, and all kinds of rumors are becoming more and more noses and eyes, and even the six kings and grandsons have entrusted some of the Great Qin royal families who handled this matter to ask for their relatives to be taken out, but this kind of thing has not yet been finally reviewed by the emperor, and everything is still unknown.

And the emperor is not in the mood to care about these things, and during this time, he will not go to the harem to pamper the concubines at all, eat and sleep every day, go to the court, deal with government affairs, and carry out activities at three points and one line in the Zichen Hall and the court hall in the dormitory, and has deeply understood the essence of Chen Xu's out-of-sightedness.

On the Oriental Road, three thousand heavily armed forbidden troops are coming from the east, passing through Taolin County, passing through Hangu Pass, all the way to the Great Qin Jingshi Xianyang, along the way caravans and pedestrians have avoided it, and many people stand on the side of the road to carry the pulp pot kowtow to greet, and many ragged teenagers look at the mighty forbidden army riding on horses, and can't help waving their fists and roaring a few times Daqin Wansheng, provoked some forbidden troops from the blanket to take out some special dried fruits from the Lingnan strips and throw them into the crowd, Immediately provoked the coaxing and cheers of passers-by.

At the head of the army was a burly and majestic general in iron armor, with a helmet removed and hung on the saddle, a slightly gray beard and black cloak fluttering in the cold wind of early winter, and a large sword at his waist added to the heroic and heroic spirit.

"General, we will be in Xianyang in three days!" A general next to him said with a relaxed smile.

"Yes, I'm finally home, I've been coming and going for more than two years, and this time I can finally enjoy it comfortably at home!" The general let out a long breath and nodded.

"The climate of the Central Plains is too different from Lingnan, I waited for the time when Lingnan was still hot and anxious, I didn't expect that once I crossed the river, it would be cold day by day, this is almost to Guanzhong, it is unbearable cold!" A long history wearing an official robe and a hat said with his teeth knocked.

"In recent years, His Majesty has conquered Hun Hu Baiyue, and then to the extreme west of the land to expand the land of thousands of miles, now I Daqin east and west north and south are thousands of miles away, the geography is different, the climate is naturally different, the Central Plains is good, I heard that the eastern and western regions of Liao will snow heavily every year to August and September, and the snow in the cold winter is several feet thick...... Although the Central Plains is cold, it has four distinct seasons and convenient transportation, which is not comparable to those barbaric places in the southeast and northwest! ”

"What the general said is extreme, although the land of Lingnan is warm all year round, it is hot and rainy, and the most terrible thing is those mosquitoes......" Changshi nodded.

"Don't say the word mosquito, a certain hair is all over the body!" A lieutenant next to him seemed to suddenly itch all over his body, and reached out and grabbed it everywhere on his body.

"Yes, I don't want to go to that ghost place in Lingnan anymore, it's not a place for people to stay, and I don't know how those Yue monkeys survive year after year, and I'm not afraid of these snakes, ants and mosquitoes at all!" The captain of the escort who accompanied him in charge of the forbidden army also had a distorted face, as if his whole body was crawling with poisonous snakes and mosquitoes when he thought of Lingnan.

"Yes, it's better for us to be in the Central Plains, this time Lingnan is pacified, there is no war around, Ben Hou can finally disarm and return to the field, urge the army to speed up the march, and be sure to rush back to Xianyang in two days, drive ~~"

Wang Ben's legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse neighed and rushed out, the horse's hooves flew and trampled on the muddy road on the auxiliary road of the Oriental Road for horses and livestock to gallop forward, a group of guards and the commander of the army also quickly followed, the army that was slowly marching quickly also accelerated in the low and melodious sound of the horn, the army swept along the lively Oriental Road like a long dragon, under the clear sky of early winter, a gray smoke and dust dozens of zhang high, like the sound of the horse's hooves and the distant horn trumpet shook the four fields.

"Report ~~ Tongwu Hou has returned to Weinan ~ quickly retreat ~"

Several heralds with command flags on their backs galloped across the Weihe East Gate Bridge, shouting all the way into the Xianyang East Gate and heading straight to the Xianyang Palace.

The news spread to the palace, and soon there were countless palace people who passed on the edict began to gather the main officials of the three provinces and six ministries everywhere, and then the officials of the six departments of the three provinces and countless princes and princes gathered in the court to discuss and arrange the reception, and after half an hour, the court was dispersed, and then the snowflakes of the three provinces and six departments of the order were delivered to the government offices, and in an instant, the whole Xianyang shook, and countless edicts were posted in the bus stations and Quyuan miscellaneous houses in the streets and alleys, and a large number of officials and forbidden troops set off one after another, out of the east gate of Xianyang, crossed the Weihe Bridge, and began to clear the field along the Dongfang Road, The road must be cleared before the emperor welcomes the arrival of the army that conquered Lingnan and returned to the dynasty.

The matter of this greeting has already been arranged, and the emperor went out for thirty miles, just like the army that welcomed the Hun Hu Banshi back to the court.

The emperor's line has been arranged well near the Chang'an Palace, but now the south bank of the Wei River because of the construction of the Keju Commercial Plaza, so that a large number of commercial houses and wealthy ministers have seen the value of nearby real estate, and have begun to buy land near the square to build houses, a few years down this large area has long been prosperous, here is now not only opened buses, but also Zhangtai Palace, Chang'an Palace, Xingle Palace, Huayang Palace, Ganquan Palace and other dozens of palaces are also intertwined, bringing together huge popularity for the south bank of the Wei River, the south bank of the Wei River, Before you know it, a bustling new urban city has slowly taken shape.

Today's south bank of the Weihe River has a strong commercial atmosphere, all kinds of buildings for businessmen and business travelers to provide food and accommodation one by one, because there are too many business travelers, too many goods, many businessmen have spontaneously formed a huge logistics trading base in the nearest Weinan County, so as not to be blocked on both sides of the Weihe Bridge, which brings about the rapid development of Weinan and almost became the distribution center of goods in Xianyang throughout the country, which has led to the great development of the local economy.

The black armor and black armor of the mighty lieutenant forbidden army lined up along the Dongfang Road for thirty miles, the banner hunted and rolled in the cold wind of early winter, the snowy Changge flashed in the sun, all the business travelers, cattle and horses on the road were all cleaned up in advance, and the Dongfang Road, which was busy with traffic on weekdays, was smooth and silent, and there was a faint warmth in the silence.

Hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Xianyang City had already flocked to both sides of the Wei River to visit after receiving the news of the return of the Marquis of Tongwu.

A mighty and majestic army came from the direction of Weinan, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves shook the entire Weihe Plain, and the faint sound of bullhorns also seemed to want all the people who were looking forward to declaring that the Great Qin soldiers who conquered Lingnan were not far away.

"Woo~~Woo~~"

With one low and melodious trumpet after another, under the escort of 5,000 lieutenants and forbidden troops, 2,000 guards and 500 Xuanwu guards, the emperor rode six horses and slowly made the east gate of Xianyang, followed by the marquis of Qinghe and other three ministers, and then all the court members of the three provinces and six departments above the five grades and many royal families and princes and princes who had no official positions.

The mighty Son of Heaven's guard of honor and the welcoming procession went straight to the line thirty miles away along the flat and smooth eastern road.

The horns of the two teams shouted each other and were generally intertwined in the sky above Xianyang City, making the people who were looking forward to it even more excited and agitated.

In these years, the war in Great Qin has been completely different from the past.

Without the sense of urgency and pressure of national mobilization, without the daily rush of food, grass and ordnance, and without the constant urging of the court and the emperor every day, no matter whether the troops are sent or the squad returns to the court, it seems a little light.

It seems that fighting is no longer a very tense and terrifying thing, but has become a joy and excitement.

Because in the past few years, the Great Qin has won a hundred battles without defeat, conquered the four Yi and conquered the eight wildernesses, and the Hu people from the southeast and northwest came to Xianyang, all of them were as respectful and cautious as Sun Tzu, which made the people of Xianyang feel great respect and glory.

Today, the return of the army of the Marquis of Tongwu, who conquered Lingnan Baiyue, indicates that Daqin will add countless more counties and counties, the country will be stronger, and the future will inevitably be more prosperous.

The long welcoming procession traveled from Xianyang along the Eastern Road to Xingyuan 30 miles away, and when the army returning to the Dynasty arrived at Xingyuan, more than 100,000 people who had been waiting for a long time cheered, a roll of red firecrackers was set up in front of the returning army and ignited, crackling firecrackers exploded in the thick green smoke, several lion dance teams jumped jubilant in the sound of firecrackers and sonorous gongs and drums, and at the same time, two rows of small steel cannons were lit in order. Eighteen thunderbolts rose into the air amid cheers and firecrackers, exploding in the clear sky, and the roaring sound of thunder shook the entire Guanzhong Plain, pushing the grand occasion to the climax.

The Marquis of Tongwu returned to the dynasty victoriously, and the war of the First Emperor to conquer Lingnan was finally completed.

Although this war has been planned in the heart of the First Emperor for seven or eight years, hundreds of thousands of troops are ready to garrison Wuling, and the dust has finally settled today, but the First Emperor did not show too much excitement, it seems that this victory came too lightly, far less than the conquest of the Xiang rebels to relieve his hatred and excitement.

And this victory, which seemed to come naturally, made him feel that Chen Xu did not have any mistakes in the upper, middle and lower strategies for conquering Lingnan that Chen Xu had brought him at the beginning, and he recognized Chen Xu's strategy, and then got Chen Xu's unsparing help, and in the past seven or eight years, he had planned to complete all the tasks that he originally planned to complete in his lifetime ahead of schedule or even overfulfilled the goal.

In his hands, Great Qin finally completed the glory of the former Three Emperors and Five Emperors and the Three Emperors of the Xia, Shang and Three Dynasties.
