It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Xianyang·Zhilan Palace·Lanhua Palace

Xu Zhi held up the light and paced in the study room, flipping through the letters that Zhang Liang had asked her to read when he was the young master.

She accidentally came across the six volumes of "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals" written before the Meiyuan incident. At that time, the thread on the bamboo slips collapsed, and she accidentally scratched her hand.

Zhang Liang stopped teaching her the above content.

These six volumes of bamboo slips were hidden in the corner. Xu Zhi originally thought that this was because Lu Buwei, as the person who had dismissed the prime minister, had some taboos.

But a few days ago, she saw the volumes of "Lu's Spring and Autumn" clearly laid out on Ying Zheng's desk in Fuqiu Palace.

Xu Zhi read one volume, two volumes, three volumes, and waited until the fourth volume!

She suddenly saw a sentence written in the gap:

"The Qin Dynasty attacked Wei in the seventh period, and entered the central area in the fifth period. The border cities were all destroyed, the literary platform fell down, the capital was burned, the trees were cut down, and the elk were all gone."

This is content in "Historical Records" and should not appear in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"!

Xu Zhi felt stagnant as never before.

Who wrote this?

Is it still Mo Qi?

Xu Zhi remembered that Li Xian once said that Mo Qi and Li Sizeng were both Lu Buwei's disciples.

This should mean that when he first came to Pre-Qin, he was full of enthusiasm. Didn't he want to escape from the world as soon as he came?

...I heard that when Zhao Ji first came to Qin, she stayed here for a few days because Queen Mother Huayang was not happy. Later, when Zheng Li came to Qin, she left the harem and moved to Zhilan Palace.

Xu Zhi thought about the relationship between Zhao Ji and Lu Buwei. It seemed reasonable for her to want to collect his books.

At that time, Lu Buwei summoned his disciples to compile "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals", which was said to be worth a fortune.

Xu Zhi thought that Mo Qi's student was Wei Jiu...

Wei Jiu was instructed by Mo Qi to bring the pen to her and reveal his identity. Was he trying to test her, or what?

So if Wei is destroyed here, Mo Qi cannot just sit back and wait for death!

The only person she could ask to solve this doubt was Li Xian.

Xu Zhi has always been a flexible person. She will not lose her temper at critical moments.

"Azhi, has Li Xian returned to Nanzheng County to report on his work these days?"

"No. For some reason, Supervisor Li is working at home these days and doesn't even go to the Censor's Mansion very often."

...In the entire Yushi Mansion, Li Si was the only one who had a good relationship with Wang Wan. Others wish that his son would not cause trouble.

Xu Zhi murmured that it was really their skill to make their relationship like this.

Xu Zhi thought of Shang Yang and Han Fei again. It should be said that this is a characteristic of Legalist mass production.

The night was like this, Xianyang City was in silence after the market closed, and it was quite comfortable on a spring night.

But when Xu Zhi entered the inner courtyard of the Li family, she felt uncomfortable.

"Maitress, wait a moment, I'll go and fetch the young master."

"No need to bother. If you have already gone to bed, I will come back another day."

She wasn't the only one who stayed up late at night.

A small white and black shadow was dangling in the flower bed.

Li Zuoche spotted her accurately.

This kid has been smart since he was a child. He made an excuse and said that Xu Zhi came to see him, without mentioning her identity at all.

The servant at home knew that the master of the house was particularly concerned about the illegitimate son he had brought back, and that the daily teaching was carried out by a dedicated person. It must have been the female history who had been manipulated by the government, so he didn't pay much attention and let her into the house with confidence.

It wasn't until Xu Zhi entered the inner courtyard that he stretched out his hand to pull her with a smile.

"Sister Princess, please stop wearing that ugly hat. Zuo Che knows it's you. Sister Princess, please come out of the flower garden quickly. I can't even see you."

Ugly curtain hat...

His mouth was obviously quite sweet a few months ago. It is foreseeable what kind of child Li Si can bring up.

Seeing no one around, Xu Zhi made a shushing gesture, "Don't imitate your brother's speech in the future."

Xu Zhi's familiarity with Li Si's home was limited to the outer hall and the inner hall. Last time, he stopped in his study because Li Si took poison.

The palaces and official residences of the Pre-Qin Dynasty covered very large areas.

Li Si was a high-ranking official and one of the nine ministers. Although it was not as spacious and luxurious as the palace of Changping Lord, it still had many pavilions. Because he was good at writing, he had many study rooms for storing slips and writings. He also displayed the knowledge brought from Chu State everywhere. An elegant atmosphere.

Moreover, according to the laws of Qin, the king of Shang, men in Qin must separate their families when they reach adulthood.

Li You was often away from home and rarely stayed in Xianyang.

After Li Xian lost his title, he opened a new place after the original house.

As Li Zuoche walked, he was playing with the bamboo lantern Zhang Liang had made earlier.

Arriving at the inner house, she paused.

Some slender and tall bamboos were planted on both sides, and their narrow and thin leaves swayed gently and rustled in the breeze.

It was night, maybe because he had been to Li Si's house many times. In this somewhat quiet and chilly environment, Xu Zhi didn't feel any discomfort.

"Left car, I won't go to the back. I'll wait for him in the front hall to discuss."

Li Zuoche let out a surprised sound, his bright eyes filled with disbelief. He grabbed the side of Xu Zhi's sleeve, and Xu Zhi lowered his body to listen.

He raised his face and exaggeratedly made his hands into the shape of a trumpet and placed them next to Xu Zhi's ears.

"Didn't the princess sister come quietly to visit my brother?"

"Don't worry, princess, I won't tell anyone else."

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment...

She didn't want Li Zuoche to know that their relationship was at a standstill, so she smiled slightly and said, "I heard that he hasn't been to the Censor's Mansion in the past few days. What happened to your brother?"

"I don't know. He hasn't left the room for two or three days. It seems that the official documents were handed over by Mr. Chen."

"Why don't you see Uncle Chen?"

Li Zuoche shook his head and scratched his hair with difficulty. "Mr. Chen has returned to Nanzheng County." He said and ran to stand in front of Li Xian's door.

Xu Zhi stood by the bamboo bushes and waited for a long time. Li Zuoche didn't even bother to knock on the door.

Li Zuoche was very confused. He had been pushed out by Li Xian many times in the past two days. His gloomy face and eyes returned to a very cold look.

He was worried that he had disturbed his brother's sleep.

Li Xian didn't fall asleep, and he couldn't sleep either.

He was half-lying on the desk, his scattered black hair covering his haggard face. He was often in a recurring state of fainting and waking up.

Since he couldn't sleep well and no one bothered him these days, he tied his lapels loosely.

These days, I don't know why, but the curse seems to be particularly powerful. The medicine he prepared has excellent medicinal effects, but this time the efficacy of the medicine has diminished.

The room was large, with an atrium and side rooms with closed windows. He lit seven or eight incense in order to cover up the smell of the medicine he was using.

That day at the Censor's Mansion, Wang Wan was sitting in charge, and Li Xian needed to discuss the affairs of the four counties for three months. Among the important matters, you need to wait for him to finish reading them in person, and then ask questions immediately.

His expression did not change, but he could already feel the pain surging in his chest, and he gritted his teeth and pushed through.

After I came back, I coughed when I saw the wind, and started bleeding again. Drinking a lot of medicine these days has made him feel better, but he still can't see the wind. Whenever it blows, he has to vomit blood.

But in spring, where is the day when the wind doesn't blow?

Li Zuoche probably knew some rules. The princess sister should not visit the courtiers at night.

"Brother, yes, someone wants to see you."

Xu Zhi followed Li Zuo and stood closer. She was about to speak out, but the people in the room quickly answered him.

"No." His voice was about the same as usual, but his tone was crisp.

Xu Zhi just stood on the steps and was about to knock on the door, but unexpectedly, the voice inside rang again.

"If there is anything important, you can write it down in an article."

The dark brown wooden door was also carved with bamboo, and on the gauze curtain, there were yellow lights on the side. There was a strong night wind outside the house, and she saw very stable light and shadow covering the shadow, lengthening his shadow.

"Brother, it's..."

Li Xian tilted his head slightly, and when he saw her bowing her head, he thought he was hallucinating. There was a drop of thick ink on the tip of the mouse pen between his two fingers, and the ink flowed from the green and yellow bamboo pieces all the way along the edges of the bamboo. The meridian slipped to the edge of his sleeve, and a long ink mark was drawn on the sandalwood wooden table, staining the white edge of the knife and pen with black.

Xu Zhi didn't have time to raise his hand to stop Li Zuoche from speaking.

She saw that he was still holding the pen in his hand, but he was sitting up straighter.

He suppressed the urge to cough, rolled up the bamboo slips in his hands, and didn't look outside again.

"No one is there."
