“I am not surprised that the Huns have moved, the dogs have forgotten the pain when their scars are healed.”
Qin Shi Huang said, coldly
“But why did Fusu return?”
“With changes on the frontier, isn’t it more important for him to stay behind?”
The feud between China and the nomads in the north had begun long ago.
Both sides can be said to have come and gone.
It is quite normal for the Xiongnu to move differently again after being silent for so many years.
If it were not for this, he would not have left Meng Tian with 300,000 men there to spend money and food.
But Fu Su’s return at this time made him very unhappy.
On the side, Zhao Gao gritted his teeth and said that
“Your Majesty, the frontier is still too dangerous.”
“It would be good for Imperial Prince Fusu to return.”
Looking at Zhao Gao who was helping Fu Su to speak, Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly and said that
“I think he has got the news of Lang’er’s identity, I am afraid he can’t sit still.”
Zhao Gao gave an awkward smile, he was actually thinking the same thing.
But he could not say these words.
Qin Shi Huang pondered slightly and said that
“It is good for him to come back, write back and tell him to come back!”
Zhao Gao froze for a moment, he was indeed confused by his own majesty’s decision, he was not really looking towards the other side when he helped Fu Su to put in a good word.
But soon he replied back that
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Only then, the plan had to be slightly changed again, and Qin Shi Huang quickly said that
“Send another letter to Long’er, telling him to return to Xianyang to recuperate, just in time to make up for the crown prince’s investiture ceremony.”
“It is time for the subjects of the Great Qin to know that they already have a crown prince.”
Although he had gone up to Heaven before, there had been no ceremony, and the people of the world were now hearing more than rumours.
Moreover, now that he had entered a phase of mutual agreement with the rebels, it was time for him to announce to the world that the First Emperor of Great Qin was back!
To be used to oppress the land of Chu!
That’s right, all he needs is a name to put pressure on the Chu Di!
And all of this will take time.
Just in time, to get Wavey back.
Now is also the time to let Long’er get acquainted with the court.
Hearing this, Zhao Gao could not help but gulp, His Majesty’s heart, it was really cruel.
Letting Fusu come back at this time, this is simply a heartbreak!
Of course, this was to Zhao Lang’s advantage, so he quickly replied back that
“Yes, Your Majesty, my old slave will have someone prepare for this.”
The ceremony for the enthronement of the prince still required some proper preparation.
Zhao Gao quickly left the palace, and Qin Shi Huang looked at the empty palace and said to himself.
“Lang’er, this position, it’s not so easy to sit in.”
Two days later, Ding Tao.
Zhao Lang looked at the small city in front of him and felt slightly emotional in his heart.
He was back again.
A Qin soldier hurried over and reported to Meng Yi that
“General, the city of Dingtao is occupied by a large army under our banner, but it will not allow our troops to enter the city.”
“It says that they only listen to His Highness the Crown Prince’s orders.”
Meng Yi was slightly surprised in his heart at this time, he had not expected that Zhao Lang’s men would act so swiftly.
The control over the people below was actually so strong.
This was the power of the Prince’s faction.
However, he did not have any resistance to this kind of behaviour.
Today’s Great Qin needed a strong prince!
And if you think about it this way, I’m afraid that Han and Wei are also effectively controlled by Zhao Lang.
Zhao Lang said, slightly apologetically, at this time
“Shangqing Meng, I will go and check it out first.”
Meng Yi naturally agreed.
Zhao Lang spurred his horse to the gates of Dingtao, and before he could speak, Hu Hai, who was on the side, exclaimed that
“Your Highness, the Prince of Great Qin, the Prince of Great Qin, Hu Hai, is here! Why don’t you quickly come out to greet him!”
Soon, after a flurry of activity at the city head, the gates of Dingtao were opened.
Hu Hai also revealed a smile of satisfaction that
Look, he only needed one name to take a city!!!
After the city gates opened, several figures familiar to Zhao Lang, hurriedly came out, reached Zhao Lang and saluted, saying
“Xiao He.”
“Han Xin,”
“Liu Bang,”
“Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”
Zhao Lang dismounted from his horse at this time, helped several people with one hand, and said with a smile.
“Please rise, several of you.”
Looking at the few people in front of him, Zhao Lang looked slightly odd and asked
“How did the few of you get together?”
To be honest, seeing Liu Bang and the two people he valued together, he was still a bit guilty of muttering in his heart.
“Brother Zhao… Well, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, we also had the chance to get together.”
Liu Bang explained with a smile at this time.
After he had defeated Yu Ziqi, he had set off all the way towards Dingtao, so these were all merits.
Unexpectedly, he met up with Han Xin’s men.
Xiao He also caught wind of the situation and led his men to occupy the entire Qi land.
Unfortunately, Fan Zeng was on guard against them and held out at Dingtao, but withdrew when he received Xiang Yu.
“The attack on Ding Tao was still thanks to both Brother Xiao and Duke Han.”
Liu Bang complimented the two with mixed feelings.
Xiao He was originally supposed to be his man!
Unexpectedly, they had now both become Zhao Lang’s men, and he himself had tried to befriend each other in the past two days.
But the result was not as good as one would like.
“My lord, the Qi land is all under control, and the King of Qi, Tian Du, is in the city, would you like to meet him?”
Xiao He directly changed his address to Zhao Lang at this time.
The gaze that looked towards was Zhao Lang was also extremely complicated.
Although Zhao Lang had said to him when he took the boat to Liaodong that if he heard any wind, he should not panic.
However, by the time he received the news from Han Xin, he was sitting on the floor reading the whole thing!
This Gongzi Long of his was too good at hiding!
“Tian Du, King of Qi.”
Hearing this, Zhao Lang frowned slightly, this person was really not easy to handle.
Because he knew without turning around that Han Wangcheng and Wei Wangguo, behind him, were definitely looking at him nervously.
“Han Xin, when you started the army, did the King of Qi resist?”
Han Xin said, with an odd expression on his face.
“In reply to Your Highness the Crown Prince, the King of Qi did not resist, but only said, ‘So that’s how it is’ and laughed twice.”
He could not forget the dazed, yet desperate look of the King of Qi at that time.
Zhao Lang nodded and said.
“The King of Qi, Tian Du, who first surrendered and then rebelled, has merit as well as guilt, but merit and demerit cannot be offset, and is deprived of his throne.”
“He will be reprimanded as a marquis.”
Zhao Lang did not actually have the power to reward kings and marquises now, and these words were meant for King Cheng of Han and King Kou of Wei.
Sure enough, two faint exhalations of breath rang out behind him.
The fact that Zhao Lang did not kill the King of Qi was the greatest kindness of all.
I didn’t expect to retain the marquis.
Just as Zhao Lang was about to lead his men into the city, a messenger hurriedly arrived and said in a loud voice that
“By order of the First Emperor! Zhao Lang, Crown Prince of the Great Qin, return to Xianyang immediately!”
After saying this, he offered an imperial edict.
Hearing the name of the First Emperor, everyone around them unconsciously bent down slightly.
After reading the imperial edict, Zhao Lang also probably understood what his old father was thinking, and I was afraid that his own desire for a quick victory would be in vain.
Putting the imperial edict away and looking at the few people in front of him, Zhao Lang’s heart moved and he quickly said.
“That’s good, Xiao He, Han Xin stay behind and prepare the army.”
“Brother Liu, you come with me to Xianyang and meet my other brothers as well.”
“As you said, brother Xiang’s brothers are also brothers, so naturally my brothers are also your brothers.”
Hearing Zhao Lang’s roundabout words, Liu Bang was stunned.
