Chapter 253 I am the captive of my daughter
Chapter 253 I am my daughter's captive
The war has lasted for about four years, and the population of Daqin has dropped sharply to half of the pre-war period.
According to historical records, after the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, the population was counted. There were only two or three in the country's population, which shows how serious the disaster brought by the war was.
Fortunately, Fu Ge obtained the rule of Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Bashu in time, and attracted and resettled a large number of Guandong refugees, otherwise more people would die due to war.
The continuous wars were temporarily calmed down in this winter in December of the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty. After defeating Liu Bang's main force Yu Guangwu, Qin Prime Minister Fu Ge did not quickly advance eastward as many people imagined, and fought a battle of death with Xiang Yu, the powerful among the princes of Guandong.
He just tentatively sent several small harassing troops to the east, and tens of thousands of Qin troops returned to Guanzhong to rest and some were still stationed in the Sanchuan area. It seemed that he was quite satisfied with his current record, and it seemed that the Qin army was also damaged after defeating the enemy in one battle, and it was urgently needed time to recover.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this temporary calm is just a moment of tranquility before the storm comes. The two major forces fighting for the world, the storm and the storm who support Qin and resist Qin gather together in the two political centers of Xianyang and Pengcheng. Their every move, every word and action will have an important impact on the future situation.
Qindu, Xianyang.
On the eve of the fourth year of the Xinyuan period of the Great Qin Dynasty (205 BC), it came in a sea of lights with fire trees and silver flowers.
There is joy everywhere, and there are lights and decorations everywhere.
Xianyang City presented it to the villagers in a more charming manner than usual. They have always been accustomed to the black flags of Qin. They had the opportunity to meet the colorful scenes of the colorful concubines for the first time. The excitement in their hearts can be imagined.
The autumn of the past harvest of grain brought too many beautiful aspirations to the people of Guanzhong. Although the court called on everyone to donate grain "voluntarily" last month to support the soldiers in the front, as the war subsided, the tense atmosphere was wiped out as the war subsided, and the return of many soldiers to fight was swept away.
New Year's Eve is approaching, with a great victory as the foundation, and the soldiers from the expedition return to cheer up. In this New Year, Xianyang will inevitably become a sea of joy.
"Hey, my second uncle, your boy, shocked husband, has also come back. This is really great. Taking advantage of this opportunity, why don't you tell him about a wife? If you are a coincidence, you might be able to hold your grandson next year!"
"Uncle next door, I'll tell you what you said, but my boy is very stubborn. Yesterday, he actually told me that if you don't make great achievements, you won't marry a wife. What's the reason for this?"
"Tsk tsk, I can't tell that your boy is quite ambitious. Otherwise, look at my fourth girl, and we have a relative in-laws--!"
"That's good, maybe these two young people have been in love long ago. No wonder I can't even get through a few marriages!"
The neighbors with joyful smiles on their faces were talking loudly, and joy spread out from their hearts. This peaceful and peaceful life is so nostalgic, and the beauty is like a dream.
Who would have thought that just four years ago, they were still living a dark day and were worried all day long. They might be caught by the government on one day, or they might be killed for no reason.
...
Street entrance.
In an inconspicuous restaurant, the window facing the street was pushed open with a "squeak", and the innocent smiling face of a lively and active young child was poked out.
"Little Fuzi, come and see. The street is so lively, and there are so many black circles!"
A child's crisp and refreshing shouts were sharp and thin, which attracted the attention of many passers-by. The black circle - it turned out that the child looked down from a high place and saw people huddling heads. What was this if this wasn't a black circle?
Some curious people looked up, but there was no trace of the shouting person. The child's smile just now had disappeared from the window.
"Li'er, don't make a fuss. The street is not as good as the home. What if there is an assassin or something?" A low voice of rebuke was heard in the room, but it was obvious that the effect of this rebuke was almost zero.
"I don't, I want it, mom is bad, bad mom!"
The screams were louder than the shouts of rebuke, and they also had a little intimidation. Such a small child, so willful and unwilling to discipline, can be imagined how bad his parents were in their educational methods.
Li'er, there is nothing wrong with that. Except for the "lawless" little princess Fu Li of the Great Qin Kingdom, counting all over the Qin Kingdom, no child would be as lively, cute and active as her.
When it comes to educating children, whether it is Fu Ge, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, or Ying Zhen, the word that can be used to evaluate is "failure".
"Zhener, since Li'er likes to watch, let her watch. Your stopping makes her more curious. Besides, you don't know the child's temper. Don't let it hurt if you can make a big hug in the future!"
Holding Fu Li who was acting coquettishly, the pride of being a father rose to Fu Ge's heart. This little girl is cute and tricky, and makes people love and pity. For Fu Ge, who has a rare time to go home and enjoy the joy of family, the spoiling feeling has been clearly written on his face.
"Just spoil her. If you continue to spoil her, she will probably turn against the sky!" Since she officially married into the prime minister's mansion, Ying Zhen has become more and more charming and beautiful. Compared to the shyness of a girl before, the current Princess Anyang Ying Zhen can be said to be full of mature aura that is unique to a young woman.
"Okay, okay, you two are rarely arguing when they come out. Li'er is still a child. Will it not be too early to talk about it now? It's not too late to talk about it when she grows up!"
Regarding this bickering, Yu Ji, the bystander, just smiled tolerantly. This situation has happened countless times. The differences in character between Fu Ge and Ying Zhen make them occasionally show a state of incompatible fighting. When no one obeys each other, the one who can rely on Yu Ji, the peacemaker, mediates in the middle.
During the family discussion of the Prime Minister's Office, every debate on the issue of children's education ended in this unresolved way. Among them, the focus of the debate is to cause trouble for the little girl Fu Li. In contrast, Fu Zi, a boy from Yu Jisheng, is calm and quiet, and he almost never causes trouble.
One is a good baby, the other is a naughty child. These are the seedlings that Fu Ge has worked hard to cultivate. Somehow, the fruits produced are so different.
After this Guangwu victory, Fu Ge, who returned to Xianyang, had a rare free time before the festival. Therefore, he decided to take his family out to enjoy the life of ordinary people and enjoy the joy before the New Year. This is of course a wonderful thing.
For safety reasons, the personal guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion have already booked the elegant door of this restaurant, and no idle people except the chefs who serve the dishes are allowed to climb to the second floor.
"Brother Fu, look, what's going on on New Year's Eve this New Year's Eve? This is the idea that the angels of our nurse school came up with. It was red and full of joy. This is much better than the always dark ones, right?" After a dispute over Fu Li's disobedience, Yu Ji, who often acted as a mediator, had to persuade him again, and he did not miss the opportunity to transfer the topic to other aspects.
"Well, this lantern festival is good. It seems that it will be done this every year in the future, so that the people of Xianyang City will be happy!" Fu Ge leaned over and looked at the streets covered with red lanterns outside and said with a smile.
"Little Fuzi, I'm going to see the lights, look at the lights!"
After being scolded by his mother for a few words, Fu Li became unhonest again. Her pair of watery eyes turned flexibly, and her little mouth even approached Fu Ge's ears, gently sniffing waves of heat.
"Okay, go see the lights!"
After being fussed by his daughter, Fu Ge, who was eager to do so, hurriedly agreed. To be honest, he actually wanted to see what the lively scene of the first New Year's Eve lantern festival in Xianyang City will be.
"Secret Fu, this is absolutely not possible. There are so many people outside. If there is any mistake, my subordinates can't afford it!"
When they heard that the Prime Minister wanted to take the whole family to watch the lanterns, the guards were all sweating profusely. For them, protecting the safety of the Prime Minister's family is the top priority. If there is a slight mistake, then it will be desirable for them?
"Don't worry, the person who wants to kill me has not been born yet!"
Seeing the personal soldiers' attitude of being anxious, Fu Ge comforted that the temptation of the colorful lights was too great, and even he himself couldn't help but want to go out and take a look. There was no television, radio, and the Internet these days, and the lack of entertainment activities was unimaginable. Now, he finally caught an opportunity to have fun with the people, and that wouldn't be able to seize it!
"If Fu Xiang must go, then allow me to transfer another guard to protect him!" The personal commander hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't withstand the pressure and made concessions.
