It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Xu Zhi returned to Zhilan Palace, sat at the desk, took out Li Zuoche's silk book again and read it. He felt that it was not that simple.

She was pretending to be precocious, but Li Zuoche was truly gifted. Li Zuoche proved to Xu Zhi that a boy who cried a lot when he was young would not be less brave and wise when he grew up.

【Battle of Changping, the surrender of Shangdang. Zhao Kuo replaced the general, Lian Po fled. Your Highness's confusion is not in Qin, but in Han. 】

In Han...'surrender to Zhao and invite Qin', is it Han An?

The crackling charcoal fire dispelled a lot of the winter chill.

Xu Zhi waited for several days, but Li Si did not look for her again. No one in the court talked about it, as if they had tacitly agreed with her story in Li Xian's mansion.

The mirror-like surface was like water. Xu Zhi looked out the window at the dusk. "Azhi, let Chen Ping finish the work as soon as possible. It would be best if he could rush back to Xianyang within a month."

Ah Zhi was puzzled. "Li Tingwei is still observing Mr. Chen Ping. Will there be any accidents if he comes back now?"

Xu Zhi said: "Li Si and I have been frank with each other. Chen Ping was a former subordinate of mine. It is unlikely that Li Si will use him."

"Then why did the princess ask Mr. Chen Ping to go to the Supreme Court?"

Xu Zhi turned around and looked at Azhi.

"If Chen Ping hadn't been away, how could Li Xian have really reached a deal with me? He probably wouldn't have let me see Li Zuoche so easily, and I wouldn't have been able to ask about things related to Prime Minister Lu. I should thank Li Si for his quick and decisive action. This just happened to work with Li Xian to make him think that I was obsessed with the deal with Han Shangdang and was determined to exonerate the Zhang family."

Ah Zhi was startled and almost speechless. She was still the Princess Yong'an who held the sharp blade in her hand back then, and nothing would change that.

"Princess..." Ah Zhi reminded, "If Li Tingwei is still worried about you and Li Jianjie keeps pressing you, I'm worried that you will reach a point where you can't turn back on Zhang Liang."

Ah Zhi's implication was obvious - she was worried that they would force her to kill Zhang Liang herself. They were totally capable of doing such a thing.

Li Xian's almost morbid obsession made Ah Zhi turn pale. According to what Lu Ze said later, the gap between Li Xian and Ying Hehua was even deeper than that between Zhang Liang. It is said that as early as when Li Xian was in Shu, he and Ying Hehua were not so harmonious, and had long regarded each other as the object of suspicion and attack.

Pretended childhood sweethearts, acted out teacher-student friendship.

It is hard to say which one is more contradictory and which one better explains the equal calculations.

Anyway, their gentle whispers can't last long and will soon be torn apart by reality.

As for why Azhi spoke for Zhang Liang again.

Because she saw the vortex in it.

The connection between Ying Teng and Chunyu Yue is not accidental.

A masked man knocked on Azhi's room. A bamboo slip was placed under the flowerpot, but it did not come from the secret room.

[There are many books by Lü Buwei in the doctor's place]

What is written on it is Korean characters.

Azhi's first suspicion was that Zhang Liang was saving her, but Zhang Liang was in prison and he was too busy to do anything else. Azhi would not say too much until the matter was confirmed and Ying Hehua made a final statement.

At that moment, she heard Ying Hehua smile.

She pressed the red blood to her lips and stared at the red plum branches swaying outside the window.

"I do care about the past, but not for the sake of tracing back to the past, but for the sake of the future."

After many years, she once again pulled out the short blade that Ying Zheng had given her.

The sharp snow-white color reflects the stunning appearance.

Xu Zhi officially stamped the Yangzi seal on a letter of recommendation.

Ah Zhi saw the few sentences written on it without disguising: [Chen Ping of Wei, a man of great talent and broad mind, good at making plans and capable of deep thinking. He made a plan for Daliang and relieved the siege of Wei. He also captured Xiang Yan, a general who was good at mathematics. He was a man of great power and wisdom, and an elite in the world.]

"Princess, are you planning to bring Chen Ping into the court?"

Xu Zhi's eyes darkened. Everyone and everything told her that she couldn't have it both ways. She resolutely returned to Qin. Could she not escape the pull of fate?

But she absolutely did not believe that God gave her such an opportunity just to let her relive history.

No matter which road she took, or which shore the storm brought her to, she always believed that she could reach the shore as a master.

"He has withstood my tests in Wei and Chu. Since he has appeared in the academy in Linzi, Qi, he is the best person to lay the foundation for the destruction of Qi."

She also secretly thought that if Chen Ping had something to do, he would be better at coming forward than her. If Chen Ping and Zhang Liang really complemented each other as in history, then this was not the last chance.

Xu Zhi stood up. The hazy sky outside was about to brighten. Unification was just around the corner and the golden decade of the Qin Dynasty was about to begin.

A few days later.

Something big happened in the court. After working in the court for 53 years, the old Shangqing Dunruo could no longer hold on with his frail body and took sick leave.

Dun Ruo put down his important task and planned to return home to retire.

Ying Zheng showed tacit approval.

As a result, some positions in the diplomatic and ceremonial positions that Dun Ruo was related to became vacant.

When nations coexisted, diplomacy played a very important role in state affairs. For small and medium-sized countries that were not as powerful as the big ones, diplomacy was almost a top priority and was the key to a country's survival.

But today, the situation is completely different.

Among the six countries, only Qi was left, and waiting for Qi to surrender seemed to be what the Qin king and his ministers were determined to do.

From now on, there will be only one country in the whole world. Why will we need ministers for diplomatic relations?

Xu Zhi just smiled, did not argue immediately, and silently handed in the recommendation. The world is so big that it is far beyond the imagination of people at that time.

As a result, seemingly hopeless positions were taken over by young newcomers.

Chen Ping is one of them.

As Li Xian did not explicitly ask Chen Bo to keep silent, Chen Ping also did to a large extent.

As for Chen Ping knowing all this, most of it was tacitly agreed by Li Xian to tell Xu Zhi.

As for his position, Chen Ping had no choice.

Regarding other things, Chen Ping always stands on the scale above Zhang Liang.

When Chen Ping first saw Li Xian, he was terrified. His dark and obscure eyes made him feel creepy.

Later, he learned that Li Xian had paid the price with his life, but still failed to win Ying Hehua's favor.

To be honest, he felt that if Li Xian could get Ying Hehua, then the sun would rise in the west!

There is something wrong with Li Xian.

He returned to Xianyang from Shouchun, exhausted. Just after passing through the city gate of Xianyang, he received a strange question from the supervisory official.

Chen Ping racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was worth monitoring about officials of his level?

As a result, the inspector of Xianyang summoned him and said one thing: "You are not allowed to wear a blue-white robe into Zhilan Palace."

He was confused and thought it was a new rule in Xianyang. In fact, even if Qin State favored black, there was no clear legal provision forcing people to wear black.

……

Chen Ping happened to meet Li Xian on his way to work, and his eyes were also frighteningly sharp.

How could he know that Li Xian had read the silk book held by Xu Zhi.

After a long time, Chen Ping finally realized the reason - Ying Hehua casually praised him as "a handsome man" one day.

At that time, Ying Hehua wanted to know the news about Chunyu Yue in the Doctor's Office, but she didn't want to show up herself. So Chen Ping laid out the plan for ten days to let Chunyu Taifu come to her on his own initiative.

Most of the things Chen Ping worked on had results, and he felt that he was worthy of being called a handsome man.

Because Li Xian was so efficient in conducting inspections, he was almost reinstated and even returned to Xianyang to temporarily take over the position of the Censor who had left with Dun Ruo.

Chen Ping did not serve as an official under Li Si, but he often appeared in Li Xian's eyes.

Only then did he empathize with Zhang Liang back then and suddenly realized what kind of stares Zhang Liang was suffering all day long.

Zhang Liang's upbringing made him not care at all.

But Chen Ping couldn't bear it, he really couldn't help but want to protest.

As a result, the secret mission to Qi State was soon gloriously assigned to him.

Before this, Chen Ping saw the person he had always wanted to see for the first time.

"ovary?!"

Chen Ping didn't know Ying Hehua's intention, but he was almost speechless when he saw him for the first time.
