It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

"Why are you late?" Ying Zheng asked.

"I spoke a few more words to the Minister on the way."

Ying Zheng waited for her next words.

At this time, Zhao Gao dared to plot against her.

And she knew that the people present had more cunning minds than a sieve. Among the six people present, only Meng Yi and Zhao Gao had a real feud.

She didn't need to take any action, or even get them to pay attention to him. She just needed to keep some attention in their hearts, and she could find a way to keep Zhao Gao away from the center of power.

Xu Zhi remained silent, she even smiled.

"I think it was just an unintentional mistake. Perhaps the Minister has been quite busy lately and made his subordinates tired, so he accidentally wet my robe."

She spoke softly, without a word of reproach.

Ying Zheng didn't say anything, it was Meng Yi who spoke first.

Meng Yi said: "The Minister of the Court is in charge of the affairs of the royal family, but there are mistakes and omissions. Where exactly is his mind focused?"

Zhao Gao paused, and Ying Zheng's gaze made him sweat profusely. With so many court officials present, he could not refute, as that would be flowery talk.

He prides himself on being thorough and careful in his work, and never shows what he's thinking on his face.

In general, over the past twenty years, the ladies, princes and princesses in the harem all had a good impression of him.

Fusu also said, "Minister Zhao is prudent and careful."

Zhao Gao knew that Ying Zheng did not have much time to spend with the harem. He had already figured out every channel for communication in the palace.

In the early years, most of the women from the six kingdoms in the Qin harem had to give him some face before they could appear before the king, or if they were lucky enough to meet the king, they would have the opportunity to get close to him and gain his favor.

Zhao Gao's role is particularly prominent.

Throughout the entire harem, most women's attitude towards Ying Zheng was nothing but fear.

Only Ying Fusu and Ying Hehua had different biological mothers.

What Zhao Gao knew was that a beautiful woman had a cold heart. Zheng Li didn't care much about her two children, and naturally treated Ying Zheng equally.

But since the King of Qin returned from Handan.

Everything has changed!!

How could Ying Zheng reconcile with the woman he had previously "kept far away in the palace and didn't want to see"?

He also let Madam Zheng live in Zechen Palace in the center of the inner palace.

At that moment, he didn't have time to think about Ying Hehua's words.

"Your Majesty, I only care about you, Your Majesty.

But I didn't know that I couldn't open my mouth in time and hadn't even uttered the last few words.

Who knew that the little princess would speak again!

Zhao Gao just wanted to ask her to stop talking.

"Lord Meng."

Ying Hehua simply glared at Meng Yi.

Ying Hehua and Meng Yi have been at odds since childhood.

Wang Wan knew the source of Meng Yi's dislike for her - Ying Hehua asked Meng Tian to enter the palace to serve as her guard for a month.

This happened right after Han Fei was imprisoned, and Li Si also knew about it.

They had a verbal clash before in Fu Qiu Palace, so it was not surprising now.

However, unexpectedly, Ying Hehua couldn't stop talking in front of Ying Zheng.

Meng Yi sat next to her, with Wang Wan sitting between them.

"Lord Meng, do you think Zhao Gao is wrong, or do you just dislike me being here?" She frowned and glanced at him, then quickly turned her head away. "But that's just right. I get annoyed just looking at you, too."

"Jiu Man." Ying Zheng called her, but he was smiling. Perhaps she could speak like this, and she returned to her sunny self many years ago.

"I don't dare."

Meng Yi stared at Zhao Gao again and said bluntly, "I just feel that Your Highness Princess is trying to make excuses for Minister Zhao. Minister Zhao will be appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, and his affairs will be even more complicated." Meng Yi bowed and said, "Can the king really hand over this matter to Minister Zhao?"

After hearing Meng Yi's words, Xu Zhi knew that during the time when she was sick and recuperating in Zhilan Palace, they must have finished discussing the official ranks!

Historically, Zhao Gao was the Minister of the Imperial Chariots. If he concurrently served as the Minister of the Imperial Chariots from the position of Shizhong, wouldn't that be repeating the old path?

The Zhongchefuling was responsible for managing the emperor's imperial seal.

Even though the imperial seal has not been carved yet, she cannot let him have any contact with it under any circumstances.

"It's not an excuse." Xu Zhi continued, "Maybe the Minister of Internal Affairs is too busy with his many affairs. In addition to managing the carriages and horses for my father, he also has to pass on orders. Why should he be asked to take on such a small matter as internal management?"

"It seems that Xiu Man has something in mind?" Ying Zheng said.

Even the most careful plan has its flaws.

The Imperial Household Department was the Qing dynasty's ultimate means of restricting eunuchs. At this time, it was not easy for people to accept it immediately.

Xu Zhiruo directly put forward the idea of ​​setting up the Imperial Household Department, which inevitably made some people think about it. In the end, she wanted to raise the rights of the royal aristocracy to an unprecedented level.

What they are doing now is to restrict the power of the old aristocracy since the Zhou Dynasty and eliminate the nobles of the six countries.

Xu Zhi then looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Father, there are still many things I don't understand. Why don't we let you gentlemen consider the planning of how to distinguish between the inner palace and the outer court?"

Zhao Gao saw that she was smiling, and there was no trace of the coldness in her eyes that she had shown in the side hall just now.

Li Si and Yao Jia were also stunned.

Today was one of her few opportunities to participate in major events. If she was interested, she could even find a way to get Ying Zheng to give her a separate official position.

But her opening remarks till now had been about Zhao Gao? A eunuch they had never taken seriously?

Only Ying Zheng was surprised, followed by an approving look.

Li Si is indeed a smart guy.

There was no need for Ying Zheng to give any signal during the whole process.

He had quickly found a focus for this matter.

"I will set up the Internal Affairs Office as soon as possible to handle the affairs of the Central Government."

Zhao Gao had no idea that he would have a good opportunity to manage the imperial seal legitimately in the future.

Anyway, he has no chance.

During the banquet, the ministers said a few words that his power was clearly divided. He was not a fool and could still feel it.

But the little princess seemed to be worried about him. There was concern between her brows. Even when she frowned, her eyes were as bright as black pearls, and she spoke very earnestly.

Zhao Gao really didn't think she was any different from Princess Hehua who asked him to teach her calligraphy seven years ago.

After suffering this loss for several months, it was no use for him to realize it belatedly.

-

present.

Xu Zhi’s visit to the main hall was not in vain.

She has been recuperating for a long time.

She was determined to enter Zhangtai Palace.

But because of what Zhao Gao did this morning, she had to deal with him in advance.

Wang Wan, who was sitting opposite the desk, was only in his early fifties. The white hair under his crown was intertwined with his black hair, and was already gray.

This scene reminded her of Prime Minister Cai Ze when Yan Dan went to the palace to present the jade many years ago.

Qin officials' uniforms were not divided into four seasons, but only winter and summer. Today, Wang Wan's court dress was very new, with a leather belt around his waist and a different belt hook than before, which looked like it had been specially tidied.

[When the six kingdoms were first settled, Yan, Qi, Chu and other places were far away, so Wang Wan requested to enfeoff his sons as kings.] This was a hasty record. Perhaps Wang Wan knew that this was the last chance to argue with Li Si about the system of governance.

At that moment, Wang Wan forced himself to kneel upright and nodded to her.

Xu Zhi's look was clearly seen by Li Si, who was also investigating the case.

This back and forth.

She wanted them to be certain that if she entered Zhangtai Palace, she would inherit Wang Wan's ideas.

Firstly, she would not let Li Si take the lead in concentrating firepower on Wang Wan; secondly, she was standing on the other side who needed to be persuaded, so she had the opportunity to symbolically "put forward conditions" based on the conservative forces.

Wang Wan also had selfish motives. He was gentle and comfortable, and was devoted to Qin.

There is no biography of him in history books. Yao Jia and Dun Ruo have biographies, Meng Tian and Fu Su have biographies, Jing Ke and Gao Jianli have biographies, and Li Si has even longer biographies.

Xu Zhi looked at him from the opposite side.

The Qin State's adoption of the county system was a step towards a completely new path.

But she also hoped that Wang Wan could live longer. This man who burned his life to destroy the six kingdoms was not a loser in political struggles. He should be recorded in history and not just an embellishment for others.

Or, she would have time to write his biography, as well as theirs which were unknown to the public.

In the hall, white smoke slowly came out of the tortoise-shaped incense burner that stood as tall as a person. All the silence at this moment became the most profound memory of time.

On the intricate black and red lacquer plate is the final silk book presented by Wang Wan and Li Si.

Ying Zheng stood up from the high platform.

The pool has a charming luster.

The central government officials surrounded him and led him out of the Zhangtai Palace.

There were already so many Qin guards in front of Zhangtai Palace.

Xu Zhi now understood why their expressions were so impatient when she was talking about those trivial matters concerning Zhao Gao, and they were also a little shocked as to whether they overestimated her.

However, for Xu Zhi, this is worth it and there is no better deal than this.

It was already golden outside.

The flaming red sun shines on the dark masses of soldiers, like endless sea water.

Ying Zheng did not ask them to kneel or bow.

Just let them see him like this.

then.

Those words flew out from the pages of the history book, and the sheets of paper turned into the sound of bamboo slips crisscrossing.

Zheng Zheng.

Turn rain into wind.

It is also like a sharp blade or sword.

"In the future, the King of Han offered his land and seal to Qin and requested to be a vassal. But he later broke his promise and joined forces with Zhao and Wei to rebel against Qin. Therefore, I raised an army to punish him and captured his king.

I think it is a good idea and it may help to put an end to the war.

The King of Zhao sent his Prime Minister Li Mu to negotiate an alliance, so he returned his hostage. Later, he broke the alliance and rebelled against us in Taiyuan, so we raised an army to punish him and captured his king. Prince Jia of Zhao then established himself as the King of Dai and was about to raise an army to destroy him. Fortunately, he was able to understand the righteousness and was sent to the north to defend against the Xiongnu. The King of Yan was confused and chaotic, so his Crown Prince Dan secretly ordered Jing Ke to rebel. The soldiers and officials killed him and destroyed his country. The King of Qi followed Hou Sheng's plan, cut off Qin's envoys, and tried to cause chaos. The soldiers and officials killed him, captured his king, and pacified Qi.

I, with my humble body, raised an army to punish the rebellion. Thanks to the spirits of the ancestral temple, the six kings all admitted their guilt and the world was at peace. If the title is not changed, there will be no way to celebrate the success and pass it on to future generations. Let's discuss the title of emperor."
