As New Year's Eve approaches, Handan City, which was still shrouded in the spirit of national subjugation, has been forced to add a touch of joy by time.

The quiet old lanes have also given up the darkness.

The Handan Order made a special trip to add new lanterns to the shops of all sizes on the street and on both sides of the main road.

The king's car drove slowly, and the wheels rolled down a path of memories unique to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Handan." Zhao Gao stood beside the chariot with a bow.

He stepped onto the ice and snow ground and stood with his sword in hand, wearing a high crown and a mysterious dress.

Looking back after 20 years.

The ice wheel hides the clouds, the white snow is rustling, and there is not only the rustling of Han Ying.

Ying Zheng was dumbfounded. He didn't know until he was thirty years old that the winter in Handan didn't have to be cold.

The rose presses on the branches, revealing the prosperity of the past.

Sandalwood smells slowly all around, and the golden nanmu mat table is filled with delicacies.

For a moment, Ying Zheng felt that Handan was so strange, as if it was a new place, as if he had never been here before.

This is not the Handan where he lived for nine full years.

Is it Handan that has changed beyond recognition?

Is only Handan unfamiliar?

To Handan City, Ying Zheng was also the most familiar stranger.

He has grown from a child to a sharp sword, the sword of the emperor that holds the world.

Under the cover of night, the moonlight shines brightly.

The solemn music plays elegantly and slowly.

There is a charcoal fire burning in the cauldron, and the whole room is full.

The eight delicacies are prepared for the Jiashan meal on the table, and the mellow Zhao wine is added.

Green bamboo shoots, purple ginger, and pandanus are delicious.The green sunflower contains dew, and the white sage bears frost.The lamps were laid out in front of Xu Zhi.

The final dish was a piping hot pot of chicken with white mushrooms. The chicken was stewed very softly, with a plump and fragrant aroma, and the mushroom soup was thick and white.

Azhi gave Ying Hehua a full cup and said, "Princess, you can drink more tonic soup to warm yourself up in winter."

Xu Zhi took a spoonful of the white soup and put it into his mouth. The mellow and fresh aroma jumped on his taste buds, and immediately melted in his mouth with an aftertaste.

She saw that the desk behind Li Si was empty, and Li Xianshang was still recovering. She had not seen him for several days.

She lowered her head again and saw the spoonful of soup. She thought of something, then waved her hand to ask A-Zhi to lower her head, and ordered: "Please ask the cook to make an extra vat of this soup and send it to Supervisor Li's room while it's still hot."

"promise."

Xu Zhi thought of his hesitant expression again, and she felt warm in her heart as she read his words, "I will do it in the future."

Following the dancer in the hall, one step at a time, it seems that there is wind and snow on the sleeves.

And in an instant, the sound of stirring a pool of spring water and the touch of the long black hair in her hands were stopped by the dark official uniforms and noise in the hall.

After all, it is the winter moon, and it is seven points shorter.

She lowered her eyelashes, pursed her lips and said, "Don't say it was given by me."

After A Zhi left.

From a square window, Li Xian looked at the red rose flower in his hand, which was both charming and full of thorns.

Li Xian actually no longer had to lie down, he was able to get down and walk.

He raised his head slightly, and under his long black hair, a face favored by the gods sank into darkness, and his deep eyes revealed a deep bond.

"Sir." The assassin of the Secret Pavilion stood under the shadow.

"Is there any news? Has he spoken?"

"Mr. Mo didn't answer any of the four questions you asked, and still didn't want to say more. But I have something to remind you."

The killer clasped his fists in a low voice and said: "Mr. Mo just wants to remind you that the journey back is still far away and everything is still in the fog. If Zhang Liang cannot change the situation of Qin, he will start with others. Mr. Mo wants you to never forget your true heart. Princess Ying Hehua She is not a person in the game, please don’t stay too long for her, otherwise you will fail in your efforts.”

Li Xian's expression darkened, his eyelashes narrowed, and his lips curved.

"Mo Qi has reminded me of what he said, but he still doesn't want to show up? Go and talk to him and tell him that I know he doesn't want to make the same mistake again. Since he showed up to save my father, I hope you can be honest with Jing Qian."

"promise."

The killer's figure left the window, and Rose was still shaken a lot.

Li Xian returned to darkness.

He recalled the scene when Xu Zhi and he first met, and the girl's words were still in his mind.

'I'm here for you. '

'I want to give Da Qin the ending it deserves in the history books. '

'You have unfinished business. '

She listed all the names she knew, and Li Xian knew that she really regarded him as the only person she could trust.

Li Xian lowered his head, the wound on his wrist healed, and the scab showed a ring of brown. His knuckled fingers touched it, and her voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "I care." "I don't want you to suffer like this. ." "Jing Qian, get up quickly."

stand up?Can he still stand up?

He looked up at the moon again.

Under the clear light, thousands of shackles of the past have forged iron chains.

He always tries his best to achieve what he asks for, and he will not be stingy no matter how much it costs.

There is already a gleam of light shining into the bottomless abyss, how dare you let it dim?

What about Zhang Liang?

What about the trajectory of fate?

What if he just doesn't want to let go?

Sparse shadows kept shaking and falling indoors.

Azhi personally brought the soup vat. She didn't speak, but she was silently telling Li Xian who sent it.

When Li Xian saw the soup, he couldn't help but ask: "What does she mean?"

"Master Li." Azhi still kept silent on this matter, "If you can't tell the truth sincerely about what you have done, why do you expect the princess to show her sincerity to you?"

"It's been so long. Miss Shen won't talk to me about the Shu Land, and you still don't want to believe me. It's not because I asked Lu Ze to join the army."

A Zhi's surname is Shen.

A Zhi turned sideways, and the shadows of rose flowers flickered across her resolute and beautiful eyes. She said this without much complaint. She was probably talking about an old incident.

"Your Excellency is the special envoy of Xianyang. Why do you want to force others into trouble on your wedding day?"

Li Xian couldn't tell, "I showed it to Miss Shen, and the seal of Lu Ze's letter to join the army was really not the seal I carried. If the girl doesn't believe me, I can't refute it. The girl is puzzled, why didn't she go with Lu Ze on the same day? Tell the story clearly at Guxiakou?"

Azhi took a long breath and stared with tears in his eyes.

"It happened two years ago. He and I were speechless and had nothing to talk about."

"Some things have just passed away. If I explain it clearly later, it won't be the first time. When one day you feel the same way as me, I'm afraid you will understand."

After she finished speaking, she put the soup on the table, closed the door and left.

Under the moonlight, only the rose flowers and the moon are scattered. Who and whom?

Li Xian picked up the soup vat at hand and saw his lonely reflection under the light.

-

Xu Zhi saw a lot of people. This was what she longed to see the most, the enjoyment of the Qin Kingdom during the Warring States Period.

Ying Zheng just stood there, already showing his dragon seal posture. The Tai'a sword at his waist showed his incomparable kingly aura. He was sitting on the middle stage, and no one could see his expression.

Li Si was still wearing a dark black official uniform. The only difference was that he was wearing a longer cloak than when he was in Xianyang. After not seeing him for the past few months, he had some stubble on his chin.

Earlier, when she asked Wang Wan, she found out that he was staying in Xianyang again.

This move undoubtedly showed various signs that Wang Wan would become the right prime minister in the future.

She originally wanted to recommend Zhang Liang to the imperial censor. They have similar temperaments and should be able to get along well with each other.Looking at it now, I have to give it up for now.

Ying Zheng saw the bright color of the lower hall. The red dress was particularly conspicuous between the dark night and the court uniform, like a big red carp swimming in a pond covered with aquatic plants.

He heard a lot of what Zhao Qian said in prison and was a little unhappy. Seeing her dazzling smile, Ying Zheng's ice-filled eyes finally relaxed a lot.

After not seeing each other for a few months, he found that his daughter's facial features had grown a lot, her almond-shaped eyes looked more and more like her mother's concubine, and her pupils were dark and bright, just like him.

"Hehua pays homage to his father."

Ying Zheng came down from the high platform and held her hand like he did when he was a child, but he did not immediately let her sit next to Zheng Li.

Ying Zheng knew everything about what happened when she left Guxiakou. From the time he arrived in Handan until now, he had never asked her anything.

"Has He Hua seen anything in Handan?" Ying Zheng said.

Xu Zhi smiled calmly and said: "Father, He Hua has lived in Handan for a month and observed that capable men and treacherous ministers all have flaws."

"What's the flaw?"

"He Hua's view is shallow, and he only talks empty words without saying anything. Please forgive me, father."

"Just say so."

Xu Zhi continued:

"A capable person cannot control the power by doing things, and treacherous ministers disturb the public and harm the country. A wise man cannot bear his position, and an accomplished one goes to the country to make profits. This is the disaster of Zhao's ministers. For example, He Hua saw that Handan ordered the release of dignitaries, and Li Mu was forced Kill, arrows from Han Cang’s belly and back in front of Longtai Palace.”

An old man with white hair and a long beard sitting under Ying Zheng, wearing a high-ranking official uniform, stroking his beard and smiling: "Princess's opinion is just empty talk, but I don't expect that the young princess actually understands the art of Dharma in her words."

Xu Zhi had never seen this person before, so he heard Li Si smile and say, "Guowei, please let Princess Hehua finish."

This lean and somewhat capable white-haired old man turned out to be the talkative Wei Liao in Li Si's mouth - the Qin Guo Guo Wei.

It was this old man who was unwilling to serve the King of Qin, and then ran away. He also publicized that "The King of Qin is a man who is accurate as a bee, has long eyes, loves birds, and has the sound of a jackal."

Xu Zhi, including many people of later generations, interpreted it directly and naturally thought it was a satire.

Ying Zheng's appearance, let's take it as realistic as Wei Liao's, is that he has a high nose, big eyes, a strong body, and a deep voice.

Wei Liao insists on using animals to describe it, it would be strange if it is not misinterpreted.

But when Lieutenant Liao seemed to be complimenting him, it turned out to be an evil person.

Fortunately, Xu Zhi has learned the humility of retreating in order to advance, and is indeed well versed in the analysis of Korea's death, so he can welcome this answer.

"Because He Hua had a lot of insights when he was in Korea that day, I dare not call him as understanding as the captain said."

Ying Zheng already resented anyone who mentioned the past. Did Wei Liao deliberately want his daughter to remember that Korea was kidnapped?

"In the princess's opinion, how can we control the disasters caused by ministers?" Wei Liao continued.

"If you treat your superiors with contempt and neglect, you will definitely be punished; if you insult and be arrogant with your subordinates, you will definitely lose your closeness. Ministers who are close to you will not be respected, and ministers who are distant from you will be uneasy about their positions. Those who love others deeply will be eager to seek talents and be happy to receive them. A wise person will treat others generously. When a country is about to dominate, talented people will gather and return. When a country is about to fall, wise people will hide first."

Xu Zhi was grateful that he could recite the entire text of these [-] words and choose one of them, which was enough to cope with the current situation.

Everyone sitting here was surprised, Wei Liao was also a little dizzy, "The princess saw me, and I looked sideways."

Zhang Liang was also surprised for a long time. He never told anyone about the contents of "Su Shu".

How did she know?

Ying Zheng smiled in approval and said: "He Hua has had many adventures, and his character has been tempered beyond ordinary. During his trip to Handan, he also found the defense plan, which won my heart. I still remember He Hua, but the small words are still there. . He was specially granted the title of Yong'an, and he was granted the title of "Yong'an", with a hundred households living in the city. When he wrote back to Xianyang, he immediately ordered Zongzheng to travel further."

Ying Hehua was regarded as the first princess of the Qin Kingdom. She was given the title before she even had hairpins. The word "Yong'an" has a very political meaning.

May you be safe forever, may your family and country be peaceful forever.

After this reward, the Chu clan will probably feel proud again.

Xu Zhi first bowed to Ying Zheng and thanked him for the title, then turned to look sideways at Zhang Liang and treated him with humility, "For what I said today about the defense plan, He Hua dare not take all the credit. I think it is because the teacher taught him well." .”

"Sir, you once told me that you would like to travel abroad and not serve as an official in Qin. Do you have other ideas now?"

Ying Zheng had long wanted to bring Zhang Liang back to Xianyang. He didn't really want to put him in Zhongnan Mountain. He was also afraid that he would be like that Mo Qi. He was originally good, but ended up having mental problems after practicing Taoism for a while. No longer able to contribute to Qin.

He Hua thought just as he thought. Her words were a deliberate request for him to give Zhang Liang an official position, which was a tacit cooperation.

"good,"

When Zhang Liang spoke, he saw Ying Hehua beside Ying Zheng, slightly pursed his lips, and looked at him sincerely with a pair of dark eyes.

Zhang Liang couldn't tell for a moment, whether he accepted the offer because his family wanted to gain a foothold in Xianyang, or because he wanted to achieve success, or... it was just the look in her eyes, the beguiling phrase "How about that?" Please marry me, sir', which actually made him lose his rationality.

He is only in his twenties. He has not experienced the frost and wind like Zhao Jia, nor has he given up on the world like Li Mu.

Zhang Liang couldn't see clearly, couldn't guess, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to think too clearly.

Now it seems that Ying Hehua wants to take love as a prisoner, but what can he do?

The spider spun out silk, which was entangled like silk thread. Zhang Liang was already the prey stuck by the gossamer.

"I would like to serve as an official in Qin."

As soon as he said this, Xu Zhi clearly felt the Hetu in his arms reacting, and the warm breath slowly spread.

Ying Zheng was satisfied to see Zhang Liang's submission.

"Official positions in Da Qin are below the level of Jiuqing. Sir, you can choose."

As soon as Ying Zheng said this, the officials immediately started talking.

That is an official among the Nine Qings.

Still have a choice?

Zhang Liang is so young, but he is comparable to Wei Liao back then. He is also comparable to Gan Luo, the once famous junior minister, but Gan Luo is a descendant of Gan Mao after all.

Zhang Liang, a former Korean official.

Li Tingwei, who is now in the limelight, only started from the history of Lang Guanzhang.

"I would like to be a doctorate officer."

Zhang Liang only wanted a doctorate officer under Fengchang, the least powerful Jiuqing.

Learn about the past and present to prepare advisors.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "I originally prepared the subordinates of the imperial censor for you. In this way, if you give me your permission, I will be the same as the young master."
