It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 480: Father and daughter talk on the eve of the Eastern Tour

Ying Zheng was just in Zhangtai Palace, and was furious at the Confucian scholars from Qi and the nobles from Chu who were clamoring for not having counties. He really wanted to kill all the people from the six countries.

Thinking of this, he walked to Que Tower, which was a little far away from Zhangtai Palace and a secluded place. Usually, almost no one would come here.

However, Ying Zheng saw Ying Hehua.

The sun was almost below the horizon, and the orange-yellow color gathered on the horizon, creating black waves.

Ying Zheng asked everyone around him to leave.

Then, Ying Zheng didn't speak for a long time. His silence showed that he was truly angry without any authority.

Zhao Gao glanced at Xu Zhi, seeming to want to say something, but he didn't dare to say anything else, so he withdrew.

Perhaps it was because the father and daughter had a mutual understanding, but Ying Zheng asked her the same question she had asked Li Xian.

"Why don't you go to the wedding?"

Because of the Chidao.

She and Li Xian really switched roles.

"My daughter has been arrogant and domineering since she was young, and she has a bad relationship with the Meng brothers." Xu Zhi knew that once Ying Zheng asked, he would not just want to hear these family matters, so she said, "My father ordered the court officials to discuss the repair of the Chi Road. Meng Tian and I have different political views. Not long ago, he blamed me in Changle Palace. I don't want to go to the mansion on the day of my sister's wedding and get rejected."

Ying Zheng didn't laugh, but his expression relaxed a lot.

"You are arrogant and domineering. You are self-aware. As for the matter of the road, I will make a decision after my eastern tour."

In Xu Zhi's opinion, the more frequently he wrote letters to the emperor, the more likely Ying Zheng would put the issue of Chidao first in his consideration.

Financial support will also be tilted towards the Chidao project first.

If Xu Zhi wants to know the cause and effect of Xu Fu, she must know what happened on the Eastern Tour? And she must get the opportunity to go on the Eastern Tour.

But now, because of the marriage edict, Ying Zheng was very dissatisfied with her.

Ying Zheng called her over. Under the high building, the flat and wide streets of Xianyang, the densely packed houses, and the mansions of officials of all ranks in Xianyang were all clearly visible.

"What do you see?"

Xu Zhi looked at Ying Zheng. She wanted to say Jiangshan, but at the moment, she answered, "Xianyang City."

Ying Zheng pointed to a house not far away and asked, "Do you know where that is?"

Li Si's mansion. But she pretended, "My daughter doesn't know."

"I don't know?"

Xu Zhi finally understood why the arrogant Qi royal family dared not even breathe when they saw Ying Zheng.

Even though they had been together for many years, she couldn't stand Ying Zheng's questioning look and couldn't last more than 30 seconds.

"..." "A place my daughter visited many times when she was a child." She looked forward, "This may be the same direction that the emperor pointed to."

She looked at Ying Zheng in front of her, "I think that is now Prime Minister Li's residence."

After Li Si became the prime minister, he was seen once by Ying Zheng because he was parading through the city with too many carriages and horses.

There was indeed a team of carriages and horses in the open space below the tower, and their specifications were larger than usual. But she couldn't tell whether it was Li Si's carriage and horses.

She didn't understand how this had anything to do with what Ying Zheng came to ask today.

Not far behind him was Zhao Gao.

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "I dare not guess whether Prime Minister Li is taking the same direction as Li Keqing back then?"

Ying Zheng looked at her and easily understood her metaphor.

"So, is Hehua still going to follow Li Si's path?"

"Whatever my father chooses is what I choose."

However, hidden beneath her submissiveness was her repeated practice of acting first and reporting later.

Even before he read the edict, he had given her a way out, but she simply cut off her own way out. Ying Teng read the first half of the edict about the princess in Changle Palace. She used Li Si's hand and intended to argue with Li Si in Changle Palace about Li Xian, so that Ying Teng could finish reading the second half.

That was something Ying Zheng didn't want to hear.

He never thought that one day Ying Hehua would give him a headache.

"In front of Changle Palace, you should give me an explanation?" He turned sideways, the setting sun chasing his tall nose, the afterglow sprinkled on his dark robe, his voice was much softer, "I didn't ask you to marry someone you don't like. Don't you understand the meaning of the blank edict?"

She couldn't think of any answer she wanted to this proposition except Zhang Liang.

Until the Bolangsha assassination occurred, she realized that if they took one more step, they would be crushed to pieces.

She broke his pride in history books and tried to completely eliminate the possibility that he would become Zhang Liang, Marquis of Liu.

She didn't dare to gamble on the outcome for another ten years.

She was puzzled. If hatred was enough to torture people, why did they have to put on the shackles of fate? For her, it was not only the separation of the body and head, but also the despair of being bloody and torn into pieces.

Was Zhang Liang avenging the fall of Han, or was she avenging the fall of Qin?
They might as well just do this... use each other to their advantage, until death, until the end...

Anyway, except Xu Zhi herself, no one knew what she was feeling when she said this.

"Father. In a sense, the person I like is dead. Killed by me." "Dead?" Ying Zheng sneered.

Xu Zhi didn't dare to vent his anger.

Facing Li Si and facing Ying Zheng are completely different.

Ying Zheng stared at her, "Tell me honestly, is Zhang Liang really dead?"

Her heart sank. She was trying to hide the truth under Ying Zheng's nose, but she had no idea how far she could go. She had no idea whether Ying Zheng would be angry and put her under house arrest, or supervise her and take her on the tour to the east.

Ying Zheng still didn't look away.

"Where is Zhang Liang?" Ying Zheng asked directly without hiding anything.

With a thud, Xu Zhi knelt down, "Please have mercy, father."

As she wished.

Ying Zheng completely misunderstood.

Marriage is a small matter, but she was so sad and discouraged that she didn't even want the power of Xianyang anymore!
This is what Ying Zheng hated. He could accept his daughter's ambition, arrogance, cruelty, and arbitrary behavior. What he absolutely couldn't understand was that his daughter, the daughter he had loved since she was a child, the princess of the first emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, could actually be so angry for a man, for a Korean! She had to swallow her anger to such an extent!
Those words of plea completely touched Ying Zheng's bottom line.

He pointed at her and said, "I did not order the extermination of Zhang Ping's three clans. This is my greatest fault!"

"Father, calm down."

Perhaps because she had done this many times when she was a child, she subconsciously reached out to pull his sleeve.

Ying Zheng pushed her away.

She fell heavily to the ground, and immediately grabbed his sleeve again, not letting go.

After Ying Zheng became emperor, his majesty became even greater. Who dared to disobey the rules? Not to mention pulling his sleeves outside the palace?

She seemed to be completely unaware of the consequences of angering him, and she spoke confidently, "Father, Zhang Ping is dead. Now, Zhang Liang has been exiled to Qin, and he has betrayed his former subordinates to Han. Such a person whose reputation has been ruined and whose whereabouts are unknown is almost the same as being dead..."

Ying Zheng stopped his hand when he wanted to pull her up. After hearing her trying so hard to excuse Zhang Liang, he wanted him to disappear completely.

However, she really has the spirit of not giving up and not admitting defeat until she achieves her goal.

She stepped forward and knelt. "In public, during the conquest, Zhang Liang did not cause any losses to Qin. On the contrary, he helped conquer Zhao. In private, Zhang Liang came to Qin because I was stranded in Han. He was also the teacher sent to me by my father."

"Teacher? Look at what you have learned. How did he teach you?"

Li Si was right. His son He Hua became stubborn and unyielding because of Confucian teachings!

"I don't think what he taught me is right at all." She raised her head, "In my heart, my father and Prime Minister Li are my first teachers."

As she spoke, tears naturally welled up in her eyes. How could half-truths sound so sincere?
"My father and mother have had a deep relationship over the years. I remember it clearly and I agree with it. When I was young, I told my mother that I liked Zhang Liang. However, people are different. After practicing for these years, I found that my method did not work on Zhang Liang. I have learned this very poorly."

When Ying Hehua was a child, she followed him and Li Si all day long and learned a lot of skills.

Ying Zheng only now realized how she had copied all his bad habits.

When it comes to love, her logic is completely wrong.

The love she learned was all-or-nothing, possession, and destruction.

This is exactly the same as himself twenty years ago.

Ying Zheng could only feel distressed and could not blame her anymore.

"...both publicly and privately, if Zhang Liang was wrong, it was only because he didn't love me. My father asked me where he was, and I also wanted to know where he was. In the book, or in reality? But I know...I will never, ever find him."

Xu Zhi would never have thought that after so many years, she would be able to tell her true feelings to someone, and that person was still Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng picked her up and coaxed her softly, just like he was comforting her when she was a child and was punished for running around.

"Alright Hehua. Alright."

She looked at Ying Zheng.

After her eastern tour, she went to Chu and it was very likely that she would never return to Xianyang again.

Even though she was so greedy for her father's love and cherished his every word.

But the opportunity was rare, she couldn't stop talking here, she bit her lip and gripped his sleeve tighter.

"Father has been in a bad mood recently. I cannot share his worries, but I am still criticizing the court officials in Changle Palace. Now the nobles in Chu are suffering from the injustice. It was caused by my killing of Fuchu. I should be the one to quell it."

Ying Zheng wanted to comfort her, but when she mentioned Chudi, he got angry again.

"How are you going to calm it down? Where are you going to calm it down?" Ying Zheng frowned, "You were almost crushed to death there! The two Wei leaders had ghosts helping them. However, according to Li Si, one of them was executed in Xianyang the day before yesterday."

Ying Zheng learned from Li Si that the place she wanted to go was even more incredible!
He once asked Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao said, there is a big marsh there. It is where the governor of Zhengshui lives and his son-in-law is also there.

He stared at her, "You really want to piss me off to death!"

"You didn't go to Chen Ying or Shouchun, but chose a poor and remote place that no one had ever heard of!"

"What Daze Township are we going to?!"
