It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

None of the six people present expected Ying Zheng to suddenly say this.

Ying Zheng's expression was hidden behind his crown and they could not see it clearly.

Wang Wan was the prime minister, so it was not easy for him to comment on whether the royal family should be involved in planning the future imperial rituals.

Originally, Yong'an had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion quite frequently during this period, and he really wanted to avoid suspicion.

Li Si changed his usual way of talking endlessly about government affairs and remained silent. The subjects did not know, but the key officials in the central government all knew the reason why Yong'an escaped from marriage in Chu.

Li Xian was just a cover to quickly anger the State of Chu.

Therefore, on the surface, Li Si could only have an ambiguous attitude on the issue of whether or not to allow Princess Yong'an to enter the Zhangtai Palace.

Since both of them were difficult to talk to, Yao Jia couldn't miss the opportunity to please both sides and was about to take over.

In the silence, only someone spoke.

The doctor ordered Feng Quji to stand up straight, bow his head and say, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"It is not that we have deliberately kept Her Highness the Princess in the side hall." Feng Quji said frankly: "The Princess has been intelligent since she was young and has done a lot for Qin. But the Princess is not like us after all. The Princess has only been in Fuqiu Palace for a small discussion, and the matters involved are only in Han and Chu. The Princess has only been in Qin for a short time, and she is not experienced in Qin's affairs after all."

"Lee Si."

"minister,"

Li Si was still thinking about Feng Quji's words.

How could Feng Quji oppose Ying Hehua's entry into Zhangtai Palace? In Fuqiu Palace, Wei Liao deliberately made things difficult for Ying Hehua. At that time, he and Ying Hehua had a good relationship. Apart from him, the first courtiers to speak out to defend her were either Wang Wan or Feng Quji.

At this moment, the framework of their discussion on the state system had already been set when they launched the war against South Korea.

The Qin Empire was not established overnight, and it took far more than ten years. It took more than a hundred years after Shang Yang and was the legacy of six generations of Qin kings.

During the one or two months when Wang Ben's troops were at the gates of Linzi City, the civil officials were much busier than the generals.

The specific things have been sorted out long ago.

Ying Zheng only proposed to ask Ying Hehua to be his advisor at this time, just to give her the opportunity to formally participate in politics in the future.

Where does this opportunity come from?

Ying Hehua knew better than Li Si. Li Si was well aware of people's desire for power. Li Si had held the Qin State's secret cabinet for more than 20 years. Couldn't such a person see that Ying Hehua intended to suppress him? Didn't he know that Ying Hehua actually took action against the Zhang family in order to stabilize him?

However, he actually thought that this was what it meant to be successful.

Several years ago, before going to Yongcheng, Ying Hehua humbly sought advice from Li Si.

Seven years later, the knife that Li Sixin had cultivated and taught finally came. Although it was not stabbed at Gu Xia's mouth, it finally came true, and even threatened Yao Jia in one fell swoop, and took care of Li Xian in the process.

She knew that Li Xian always felt sorry for her because of Xinzheng, so she simply used him to ensure Xunzi's safe entry into Qin.

It is difficult for Li Si to describe this feeling.

Perhaps, because Xunzi saw him not long ago, and Han Fei saw him when he came to the Qin Palace, they could understand.

Perhaps, Li Si thought that the only person in the world who could empathize with him was Zhang Liang. When he drank the poisoned wine, would he have a little regret for passing on his talent to her?

If you don't appreciate the kindness of receiving instruction, you will suffer from its chaos instead.

Li Si obviously didn't know the people of Han well enough. After all, when he was in Chu, he looked down on the weak and stubborn little country living in the heart of the Central Plains. He naturally never knew that Han Fei and Zhang Liang had never considered the proposition of not regretting it later.

Li Si believed in absolute power, supreme authority, and strong courage.

He would rather die with Qin than live with the people of the Six Kingdoms.

If Ying Hehua's moves were more accurate, more ruthless, and his decisions were quicker.

That's what it means to be better than your master!

Li Si raised his dark eyes and lowered his tall Xiezhi crown slightly, breaking through the stagnant air.

"What the doctor said is not entirely true. I think that the affairs of the six countries will ultimately be the affairs of Qin. If Princess Yong'an can apply what she has seen in other countries in the past, it may not be impossible."

These words are apparently praise but actually criticism.

The Qin system had been established, and Ying Zheng obviously did not want to see any remnants of the six kingdoms.

At this time, Yao Jia shouted.

"Lord Tingwei."

Today, Wang Ben returns to the court, which is a happy day, so naturally, we should not make things difficult for Ying Zheng! Whether the king wants to share the joy with his daughter or wants Ying Hehua to officially come to Zhangtai Palace, as long as there is no imperial edict, it means that nothing has been done. Even if Li Si is anxious, he should not be anxious to say these things when the father and daughter are so happy!

What's more, it's just a banquet and a table, not a court ceremony!

Ying Hehua should be in a good mood today. Why should he make her unhappy again?

Yao Jia said it without being serious, picked up a bowl of wine on the table and took a sip, "Your Highness the Princess has come all the way, and she may not like the people of the Six Kingdoms."

Yao Jia smiled and said, "The king used to say that the princess likes to learn calligraphy from the Lord of the Court."

To be honest, Ying Zheng had little time to practice calligraphy when he was young. After returning to Qin, Lü Buwei taught him calligraphy for a while. But Lü Buwei was not a professional after all.

When Li Si became Ying Zheng's palace attendant, he was also a teacher in the true sense of the word.

Ying Zheng's calligraphy is different from Li Si's obsessive-compulsive standard. As the saying goes, the handwriting reflects the person, and the two people have different personalities and temperaments. In terms of beauty, Ying Zheng is naturally not as good as Li Si.

Li Si really wanted to glare at Yao Jia.

He bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Highness is smart. This method is only for finding the king. I don't have time for calligraphy now. I'm afraid it's not as good as it used to be."

Yao Jia touched Mo's bloated waist again and said with a smile: "Alas, I think the court judge is still young, not like me. I am not like I used to be."

What Yao Jia said was true. When he was young, he was a little poor, but he was definitely a calm and elegant scholar.

It is true that time is a butcher's knife, except for the 36-year-old Ying Zheng and the already young Meng Yi.

None of the present Wang Wan, Feng Quji and Li Si were as pleasing to the eye as they were twenty years ago.

But Yao Jia was still quite hurt, because looking at the people in the room, he was the only one who had gained weight!

"I dare to guess that the king will not let you rest. This is probably the only time for the court judge to rest in the past few months." Yao Jia took another sip of wine. "I think the court judge should eat more, so that he doesn't have to be as skinny as the old and weak Shangqing in twenty years."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present laughed.

The magnetic laughter shook the drinks on the table.

The turbid Qin wine blurred the relationship between the ruler and his subjects, and the occasional struggles. It seemed as if over the past ten years, they were just a group of close friends, working together to fulfill a dream that no one had ever accomplished.

Twenty years, how long is that?

None of them knew what would happen in twenty years.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I hope you can train more, Yao Qing, and look like the one in the green robe back then. Don't let me not recognize you when I see you."

I don't recognize the person opposite.

Li Si was startled suddenly, and his heart ached inexplicably.

A heart-pounding picture flashed before his eyes. He found himself in prison, wearing only white clothes, with disheveled white hair, blood on his cheeks, looking haggard, shabby and dirty.

Of course, Ying Zheng would not recognize him when facing such a person.

And he actually heard someone say a word.

——"The First Emperor"

The voice came from the eunuch beside Ying Zheng.

At that moment, he felt even more pain and clenched his sleeves to hold on.

will not.

Li Si felt very uncomfortable, and an emotion he had never experienced before kept coming back to him.

He felt that it must be the consequence. He had too many nightmares in his early years. His son was restless. Ying Hehua was always making trouble and liked to go against him when he grew up.

He was angry.

No matter what, Ying Zheng is sixteen years younger than him, and there is no way he can walk ahead of him.

Wang Wan spoke only at this time. He had caught a cold before and had been arguing with Li Si for some time, so he was already at a disadvantage.

Wang Wan was a little hoarse when speaking: "Since what you said is related to Princess Yong'an. It has been so long and the princess has not come yet, I will go... Ahem, I will go."

He was just trying to stand up.

Zhao Gao rarely took the opportunity to bow to Ying Zheng and said to Wang Wan, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Prime Minister is not feeling well. I will go and get the princess now."

As soon as Ying Zheng said that, Xu Zhi knew that few court officials dared to respond, so he wanted to go to the main hall himself.

As a result, less than 500 meters away, a palace maid inexplicably bumped into her, and her clothes were coincidentally wet. She had to go back to the side hall to change again.

Xu Zhi was still a little confused until he saw Zhao Gao.

"I think the Minister has finally arrived."

Zhao Gao, who was lying on the ground, had a large wet spot on his back and sweat all over his forehead. "Your Highness... Your Highness, please come to the main hall. I was not able to pick you up in time just now, and I deserve to die."

"He deserves death." Xu Zhi read it once, glanced at Zhao Gao, and snorted softly, "Minister."

She said, "When I entered the side hall, I didn't see you outside the hall."

Zhao Gao felt uneasy.

In the past ten years, Zhao Gao not only served as a eunuch beside Ying Zheng, but also served as an advisor because he knew the key points of the law by heart. Ying Zheng was a man who found it difficult to trust others, and Zhao Gao's only confidence came from the hardships they had shared when they were young.

Ying Zheng's authority is great enough, so he will naturally benefit from it.

Among the various schools of thought, the Legalist school emphasized the majesty of the monarch the most.

Ying Hehua brought Xunzi from Qi to Qin.

Zhao Gao really didn't want Ying Hehua to participate in the meeting in Zhangtai Palace.

In essence, he didn't want Li Si to lose power!

But the question that Ying Zheng asked just now was really terrifying.

Ying Hehua was not in Xianyang most of the time in recent years, so Zhao Gao found it not difficult to bluff him.

Zhao Gao put on another face and stepped forward. "Because I saw the princess coming straight here, I thought you had something else to do."

"Your guess is quite accurate." Xu Zhi smiled.

Zhao Gao couldn't help but shudder, feeling cold all over. "Please..."

She saw him crouching like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass.

"Princess, you'd better go to the palace quickly. Don't keep the king waiting for too long."

When Xu Zhi entered the hall, she realized how accurately she had appeared at the right time.

Li Si had already broken off relations with her.

What Ying Zheng hated most was anyone who suggested that the affairs of the six kingdoms should remain the same as before.

It is impossible to say that Zhao Gao didn't know what was going on.

In the past, everything was aimed at destroying the six kingdoms. In order to prevent the emergence of another "Zhao Gao" and prevent mistakes like the death of Yan Dan, Xu Zhi had to ensure that Zhao Gao both existed and was appropriately eliminated in the following period of time.

Now that the empire has embarked on a brilliant path, and since she has decided to take this path no matter what, she should put an end to all of it.

The Qin Dynasty must never coexist with Zhao Gao again.

When Ying Hehua met Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao felt nervous, but he still looked submissive.

Ying Hehua entered the hall and followed the maid to the desk. She glanced at Li Si and did not see any change in his expression.

"The daughter pays homage to her father."
