It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

She mentioned someone.

Zhao Jia.

The one who almost killed her. When she was young, she said it would be better to castrate him, Zhao Jia.

For the sake of gain and loss, she could actually go and win him over personally?

Ying Zheng would never do such a thing! If someone dared to threaten him in his childhood, he would take revenge and kill him with one blow after he had mastered absolute power.

Ying Zheng felt quite disappointed with his friend.

She misread the anger in his eyes. She didn't know everything about Ying Zheng's childhood and was afraid to touch upon the past. She tried her best to explain, "Zhao Jia made many suggestions to Qin's border troops, and General Meng Tian also found them useful... At that time, Meng Yi also knew that Zhao Jia was tied up in Xunyang. I was just an acquaintance with him."

Ying Zheng's gaze became deeper and deeper.

Xu Zhi paused.

She couldn't understand the love and care in Ying Zheng's eyes.

You don't need to do it yourself, but you need the determination to do it yourself.

To Xu Zhile, who has modern ideas, this contradiction is actually quite ridiculous.

But in feudal society, this is indeed a solution.

The Qin royal family can be as hard-hearted as this, but they must never be weak.

"Zhao Jia was afraid of Qin. But the border troops' defense and the Xiongnu's calamity were the only things that could fulfill his long-cherished wish. Zhao's Li Mu was dead, but the King of Yan was still clinging to it."

"After what the court official said to Xunzi today, I'm afraid it will be controversial." She did not hide her intentions: "It's better for me to be the blade of my father."

She couldn't see Ying Zheng's expression.

He just laughed and said, "You are my daughter. I will never let you be used as a dagger."

Then he added: "For the 30,000 gold coins, you ask Chen Ping to write a memorial and submit it to the prime minister."

Xu Zhi suddenly looked up, and Ying Zheng's eyes lost their sharpness and he looked at her deeply.

Instead of blaming her for acting on her own, he even compensated her for her deception in disguise.

The endless rays of light slanted down and fell into Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Wang Wan has the imperial edict I have drafted. You can go get it on the eighth day of March."

Ying Zheng said nothing more, turned around and left into the vastness.

As for the edict mentioned by Ying Zheng.

Xu Zhi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion as scheduled.

She cut open the lacquer seal and unfolded it carefully. The seal was placed at the same time as Xunzi entered Qin. Perhaps Ying Zheng was also worried that after he became emperor, he would not be able to control the constraints imposed on him by Qin, and thus sacrifice his Hehua.

Only then did Xu Zhi realize that Ying Zheng had tried his best to be a good father.

"Your Majesty's intention, I hope the princess will consider it carefully."

Xu Zhi handed the imperial edict to Wang Wan.

When Wang Wan saw what was presented in the imperial edict, he was also stunned.

Unexpectedly, Ying Hehua’s next reaction made Wang Wan even more confused.

"The Prime Minister's words will be kept in mind forever."

She picked up the pen in front of him, and the writing was in round and transparent small seal script, which was indeed deeply influenced by Li Si's style.

"Will the princess regret it?"

She smiled and shook her head.

The Yangzi button seal was applied with red clay, and Wangwang's prime minister's seal was stamped on it, and the matter was settled.

What kind of princess is Ying Hehua?

Is she acting capriciously or does she have a clear conscience?

His great king, his majesty, is fully aware of the experience of the fall of the six kingdoms, and still regards the world as something that can be spurred.

Wang Wan has always felt that once anyone reaches the pinnacle of power, he will be unable to get rid of the curse of arrogance and vanity.

What kind of future does the Qin State have?

It’s a pity that he has been working hard for a long time and he no longer has any more time to figure out these problems.

"You have to take care of yourself."

Xu Zhi reminded that when she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, she met Yao Jia on the road.

"Your Highness the Princess..."

Yao Jia is different from Li Si, who are self-disciplined people. Li Si has always paid attention to healthy diet and regular work and rest.

After just a few months of slacking off, Yao Jia had already started to gain weight in middle age. Xu Zhi felt that he was too tired to walk even two steps during the court session.

His residence was not close to Wang Wan's residence, so he did not call a servant and came to visit Prime Minister Wang by himself, carrying a lot of things.

In fact, by doing this, Yao Jia was just replicating the down-and-out scholar from many years ago.

However, the communication between officials is very delicate, especially between the supervisory agencies and the prime minister, who cannot have too many personal relationships.

When Yao Jia saw Ying Hehua, he performed the new Qin ceremony of greeting her. He was anxious to prove his legitimacy and hurriedly took out the visiting card. Yao Jia, who usually showed off his authority, was now in a state of panic.

However, he had too many things in his hands and no plastic bag to pack them, so the post accidentally fell to the ground.

"Slow down, Lord Yao, don't be anxious." She smiled, "I was wondering why the Prime Minister was in such a hurry to ask me to leave first. It turns out he was waiting for you to talk."

Ying Hehua's expression was not good at first, but perhaps she was amused by herself, so her tone was not serious and she did not question whether he was trying to curry favor with Wang Wan.

She picked up the post and handed it to him in a friendly manner.

Only then did Yao Jia feel that the newly appointed censor Chen Ping was telling the truth.

As long as Yong'an's weak spot is not touched, she is kind and gentle, and she really doesn't have any princess airs in private.

Yao Jia felt that this was because she had become closer to Wang Wan recently.

Unfortunately, Wang Wan’s body has reached its limit.

Li Si, there was no way he could stop him.

Wang Wan knew that Yao Jia and Li Si were of the same kind. Perhaps it was because Yao Shangqing had always been known for his eloquence and his good manners. It could not be said that Yao Jia had bad intentions, but that he just loved his position too much. This was not a good thing for the Qin State.

Wang Wan took out a book and a box of brocade clothes, which made Yao Jia burst into tears.

The incense on the table burned slowly for a while.

Then he forced him to utter an oath in his own mouth.

Yao Jia stood with three fingers together.

"I swear I will never covet your position in the future."

Wang Wan stared at him.

... "I, Yao Jia, swear on my career and honor in this life. If I break my promise, I will die a miserable death and be torn into pieces by five horses."

-

Xu Zhi couldn't hear their conversation either.

That was several months later.

-

At this time, no one except Ying Zheng knew what was written in the edict.

No one in Qin, or even in the world, predicted the collapse fifteen years later.

Ying Zheng did not ask Xunzi to stay in the Xianyang Palace, but instead arranged a quiet and elegant place for him in a palace on the bank of the Wei River. He also sent heavy troops to guard him and ordered everyone not to disturb him.

When Li Si discovered that Ying Hehua was capable of killing Zhang Liang, he already felt a chill in his blood and filled with fear.

The strictness of the law lies in its ability to maintain the framework. People like them are most afraid of encountering someone who breaks the order.

Ying Hehua already has a position to participate in politics.

He had to start planning.

----------

When Xu Zhi returned from Zhangtai Palace, he heard the noisy sounds in Zhilan Palace.

The plum blossoms had been trimmed a little sparsely by Xu Zhi at the time, and after walking a few steps, he saw the source of the sound.

Chen Ping and Zheng Chou.

Once two talkative people start talking, there is no way to stop.

"Things that the former kings of Qin did not understand may be different thirty years later. Xunzi's coming to Qin will bring about some changes," said Chen Ping.

Zheng Chou interrupted, "What you said are all very vague things. In the Warring States period, the struggle for supremacy depends on strength. Only by practicing farming and warfare can we enrich the country and strengthen the army!"

How come Chen Ping didn't realize before that the taciturn Zheng Guo had such a chatterbox daughter?

"Of course Qin wants the world to be stable," he said.

……

Xu Zhi was not going to interrupt them.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping discovered Xu Zhi first.

"Your Highness."

Zheng Chou lowered her long eyelashes, clasped her hands and bowed, "Princess Yong'an."

Xu Zhi had not yet recovered from what happened in Zhangtai Palace, and waved his hand for them to continue.

She opened her mouth several times, but still called out to Ying Hehua. "Princess..."

Ying Hehua stopped and didn't say anything, waiting for her next words.

Zheng Chou took a deep breath and said, "The instrument mold that the princess ordered me to supervise has been effective."

Xu Zhi stepped into the tool operation room in the side hall, picked up a mold on the machine tool, and saw that it already looked like a real thing, which made him feel much calmer.

"As long as the test is successful, it will be a great achievement."

After being praised, Zheng Chou was delighted and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo's blueprint is really ingenious. If I persist for a while, the princess's things will have a prototype. Princess... You see, I have been in the palace for almost a month. I wonder if my father is healthy..."

"You really want to leave the palace?"

"Um…"

Xu Zhi smiled helplessly and asked Ah Zhi to give her the token to leave the palace. Zheng Chou's chestnut eyes lit up.

Then she smiled and held the token close to her chest, and said to Xu Zhi with a beaming face that she was going to a beautiful little village where there were many magnolias from their Han land planted.

Speaking of Korea.

She was stunned for a moment, but Ying Hehua was not angry, just a little dazed.

Xu Zhi thought of the magnolia that she had pinned to her ear.

"When can I leave the palace?"

She looked at her and said, "Just finish today's work."

Xu Zhi said so. The small black mole on Zheng Chou's nose was still flashing before her eyes.

"Anything else?" She looked up.

"Your Highness is actually quite humane."

Xu Zhi was very worried that the thing in Wang Wan's hand might be the marriage certificate.

In fact, in the current situation, there are only a few people she can marry, and you can guess the general idea after careful investigation.

Although she no longer worries about her own life-long affairs, she once claimed that the benefits exchanged for it were the most important.

But once the marriage discussion started, she couldn't help feeling depressed.

She saw some exquisite wooden boxes on the desk in the hall.

Azhi opened the wooden box and a light yellow color came into view.

"Princess, this is a silk scarf presented by Qi."

A hand towel with a soft texture, but when she touched it, she immediately put it down.

Chen Ping stood outside the screen, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Zheng Chou was just like her father, not very thoughtful. How could she hide what was in her heart from Chen Ping? He had only been to Zhilan Palace three times when he returned to Xianyang from Daliang, but he already knew where she went during the rest time given by Ying Hehua.

——Yongcheng. She actually went to find Zhang Yuan right under Ying Hehua's nose.

Ying Hehua didn't know where the Zhang family was placed. Since she had done it, she must stay out of it.

Li Xian has been acting like a resigned official for the past two days. He holds an important post in Xianyang, but he frequently goes to Shu.

Chen Ping was very surprised that after he saw the scene he shouldn't have seen, he didn't cause him any trouble at all.

As soon as Ying Hehua criticized him, Li Xian really behaved himself.

Chen Ping heard Ying Hehua say calmly: Ying Zheng knew about his affairs in Chu State, and whose gold did he spend.

He felt both happy and scared.

The future is in front of us, but danger is behind us.

For example, Zheng Chou today.

People who don't have much martial arts skills are naturally timid. He was frightened when he met the elusive Lu Heng on the road.

But every now and then, he would learn some secrets that made him worry.

Chen Ping listened to Ying Hehua's words patiently.

"I believe that everything ends with the king's will."

"I dare not speculate what my father is thinking." She smiled. "The situation in the world is like the weather above, changing rapidly."

When he heard Ying Hehua say this, he felt that it would be better for him not to tell anyone about the Zhang family's situation in Yongcheng under the current circumstances.

In addition, without Ying Hehua knowing, he could safely and secretly meet Zhang Liang to see how he was doing.

-

Yongcheng also had a cold spring drizzle a few days ago, which made a large open area clean and tidy. When the sun shone, even the iron equipment at the city gate became sparkling.

It was a nice sight with green trees and shade, but the cold light of the soldiers holding iron spears seemed a bit abrupt against the series of bizarre silhouettes.

In this case.

Chen Ping saw Zhang Liang.

He turned around from the bushes covered with magnolias, just like when Chen Ping first saw him among the plum blossom forest many years ago.

That is the gorgeous rose red, and this is the clear and pure jade white.

The robes and ties are also plain, making him look like a banished immortal.

However, for Chen Ping, just half a year of separation made a world of difference.

I saw him tearing down a curtain from the tree, and slowly unfolding a bamboo scroll with his bony fingers.

A clear and elegant voice asked him, "Who are you?"

Chen Ping was stunned.

Zhang Liang was not annoyed by his intrusion, "Where are you from? Why do you come to my humble abode? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Ping was speechless and stunned for a while before he spoke.

"I came from Xianyang, sir...what can I do for you?"

"Since you are asking, you should be calm and observe." "You must be tired from the journey, why not have a drink first."

In a blink of an eye, a pot of hot tea had been poured into the black ceramic cup, and the green and white foam was gently pushed away by him.

It was as if he had never seen him.
