It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Court officials came out of Zhangtai Palace one after another, the clouds were like a sea of ​​fire, and everywhere you looked was a magnificent sight.

Xu Zhi was thinking about what Xunzi had just said and was about to step down the stairs.

"Your Highness, the King has summoned you."

Zhao Gao's voice sounded from behind, and then quickly stopped.

She turned around and saw Ying Zheng standing in front of the huge palace.

She followed behind Ying Zheng, the bright red clouds blending with the dark brown and black of the Qin Palace, so vast and distant.

Ying Zheng took a step, and she followed.

The three sets of jade pendants tied around her waist swayed slightly. She hadn't walked far, not even to the end of the corridor bridge of the side hall of Zhangtai Palace.

"Jiu Man." Ying Zheng called her.

Xu Zhi felt that deep gaze, which made her shudder unnaturally. She raised her head with a heavy heart, and she saw that Zhao Gao and the palace maids standing around him were gone. And this screen was the place where she talked with Dun Ruo a few months ago.

Even though she had been with him day and night for thirteen years, no one could avoid being afraid when Ying Zheng looked at her.

Even though she knew that Ying Zheng condoned her behavior, she couldn't avoid making a subconscious explanation.

"Father, what I said in the palace just now was not intended to embarrass the court officer."

As she spoke, she bent her knees and lowered her head to show her submission.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng just looked at her deeply and said nothing.

Xu Zhi was puzzled at first, until Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked her to look at the sunset in the sky.

The piled-up clouds were also dyed red by the sunset glow. The past scene rushed in front of her, reminding her of when she first arrived in Qin State, Ying Zheng held her in his arms and came to this place in front of everyone.

The stubble on his chin and the skin on his cheekbones were different from when he was young. Ten years had left traces on Ying Zheng's face, but the captivating light in his eyes had never diminished.

There is no one like Ying Zheng.

Soon, the title of King of Qin will become a thing of the past forever, and will be replaced by the First Emperor.

Ambitious imperial ministers and the hope for an empire to prosper.

She looked at the thirty-six-year-old Ying Zheng, her thirty-six-year-old father.

"Father, this scene reminds me of my childhood." Xu Zhi raised his head and said, "I was very naughty at that time, always pestering you to take me outside. You said it was dangerous outside the palace, but I didn't care."

Even though Ying Zheng knew all of his daughter's actions, there were some things he had never figured out.

For example, at that time, Li Si hurriedly reported that Zhang Liang had an accident in prison and his life was hanging by a thread.

The echo of Yan Dan is loud and clear - 'When you are deserted by your friends and family, you will realize the old hatred.'

"You should know that all the dangers you have encountered are caused by me."

"Many facts have proved that what my father said is correct."

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard her speak quietly.

Yan Dan was right. No one could be safe and sound beside him.

Even his most beloved daughter was tormented by the world.

How could Ying Zheng not understand?

She liked Zhang Liang. She liked him so much that even though she knew it was probably a spring of ice or a sword that was frighteningly sharp, she would still risk her life to offer her heart to him.

This kind of similar stupidity was probably the same as his past. In front of Zheng Li, he wanted to take out his heart.

Unfortunately, in Ying Zheng's view, Zhang Liang would never see her sincerity.

At the moment of Korea's demise, it was already embellished with flaws.

Born in troubled times, there is no escape.

Ying Zheng would not know that this was not Xu Zhi's destiny.

His daughter has been different from others since she was young.

He and his ministers were tacitly aware of this.

There was always a deep expectation in her eyes, as if they were connected by blood, or as if there was a deeper connection.

Sometimes, Ying Zheng couldn't fully understand her.

Such as this moment.

She took a step forward and looked at him.

Ying Zheng thought she wanted to continue explaining what she said in the palace, or she wanted to know where he arranged the Zhang family after they left the capital.

She raised her head slightly and said, "Father, you see, I am still young and don't know the importance of this place. It is not accessible to ordinary people. Now I know that this section of the covered bridge faces east and the railings are the road for the postmaster to enter the palace. The road has been worn white by horse hooves in the past ten years and has not been restored after many repairs. Looking from the road, the vast plains of the six kingdoms can be seen. Where does this road lead to? It should start from Qin."

Over the years, she has learned metaphors.

Isn't Ying Zheng ordinary?

He smiled solemnly and grasped the Taia sword at his waist.

"I wish to bring the whole world under the Qin system."

The values ​​and worldview constructed by Ying Zheng have always been full of blood and betrayal.

Since he ascended the throne as King of Qin at the age of twelve, he had learned how to control strategies from the highest level and how to make the world submit to him with absolute wisdom and courage.

He turned sideways, glanced at her, and said calmly: "Six elements make one, what do you think, Xiu Man?"

After she came of age, she rarely talked about the future with her father.

She said, "The Three Jins are the vassal states of Qi and Chu. Qi and Chu are the roots of the Three Jins. They are mutually dependent on each other. Qi borders the East China Sea, and Chu shields the south. The Zhou rituals have been damaged, so we should adopt new laws."

His deep eyes passed over her darkly, "Meng's family controls the north, Wang's family controls the south, and the heartland of the Central Plains may be made clear by strict laws."

This was not the first time that Ying Zheng had talked to her like this.

But this should be the last time before he becomes emperor.

"As for the use of troops, I am stupid and don't know how to combine them. I think if we use a large number of troops to garrison and force them to follow Qin laws, it may cause resentment among the people in Qi and Chu. Maybe we can use a policy of comforting them and work it out slowly."

"What a good plan to take it step by step. Did Jiu Man send Chen Ping to Chu with this intention in mind?"

If Xu Zhi had not had the experience of learning from the ancients over the years, he would not have dared to answer a single word.

The secret chamber in her hand came from Li Si. She couldn't hide it from Ying Zheng at all, and she didn't intend to hide it.

But when Ying Zheng asked her this, her heart was still pounding.

If she admitted it, she had already shown her ambition when she was sixteen.

So what if she was misunderstood by others? She was too lazy to explain.

Power is indeed something that is indispensable for her to embark on this path.

And Ying Zheng was the most legitimate grantor of her power.

She nodded and said, "Yes."

She continued, "The people of Chu love luxury. I gave Chen Ping money and asked him to persuade Xiang Yan's strategist."

Ying Zheng knew much more than Xu Zhi imagined.

"It is said that in Chu there is a story about children experiencing strange phenomena."

Xu Zhi said, "When I went to Chu, the baby my daughter and Li Xian accidentally saved was Xiang Yu, the grandson of Xiang Yan. The rumors in Chu said that this was the strategy implemented by Chen Ping."

He repeated the name.

"Xiang Yu."

At this moment, Xu Zhi felt his scalp tingling.

Ying Zheng said nothing and smiled contemptuously.

"I have set up a secret chamber as a spy, and it has not been wasted."

The Secret Chamber is a secret agency run by Li Si and Yao Jia, and the money spent on it is military funds.

"Where is the money?" Ying Zheng asked. He was really afraid that she would resort to any means and make enemies everywhere in the six countries. If she really got into trouble, Ying Zheng could also find a way to make it up to her. However, the frequency of assassinations can be curbed, but once she has such an idea, her future life will definitely not be peaceful.

Her method made Ying Zheng angry and amused.

"I exchanged the dowry my father prepared for me for 30,000 gold."

She didn't care at all and didn't think it was a big deal at all.

"I think you are hopeless."

She was neither angry nor surprised. She immediately took the king's blade from her waist and held it in her palm.

Xu Zhi didn't know that the witch used the curse of red stone to trick Ying Zheng into a marriage alliance.

She naturally thought that the marriage alliance was what she should do as a princess.

"If my daughter had understood the importance of conquering the country earlier, she would not have made my father worry about my marriage."

Ying Zheng finally felt a pain somewhere in his heart.

He was already the King of Qin, the ruler of the world, but not a father.

He is more than just a father. Can't be just a father.

Only then did Ying Zheng feel that he understood his father, King Ying Yiren, a little.

But he stubbornly said that he would never forgive him. He could not forget the nine years when he was cruelly abandoned by Yiren in Zhao State. This was a permanent scar that would itch even after the scab formed.

If Ying Hehua could hate the persecution caused by this situation as much as he did, if she hated him for depriving her of her right to a healthy marriage, he would certainly understand.

If Ying Hehua cried and begged him to give her and Zhang Liang another chance like she did many years ago, he would understand and even think it was normal.

Then Ying Zheng could use the identity of a father to rebuke her for not seeing Zhang Liang clearly, and at the same time he could lecture her together with Zheng Li, telling her to see clearly that the man was not a good person.

Then, he gave her the supreme position and held her in his hands to compensate for the harm caused by her being his daughter.

No one could resist the temptation of these things given by Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng slowly pulled out the pigtails she had worn many years ago.

"When we were in Handan, did you ask Zhang Han to go to Zinian Lane?"

Ying Zheng pushed the timeline forward by three years.

Little did she know that she didn't consider those things that Ying Zheng thought were harm at all.

Xu Zhi was determined to face her father with the most straightforward attitude. Rather than letting Li Si say these things after tonight, it would be better for her to confess first.

She shook her head.

"The matter of Zhang Han was jointly handled by my daughter, Li Xian and Zhang Liang."

After saying this, she raised her head and looked at Ying Zheng.

"My daughter did something else."

There was never any expression on Ying Zheng's face, but after he said this, his expression became gloomy.
