It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Ying Zheng's intelligence network remains a mystery to this day.

How did he know about Daze Township? The first in the uprising against Qin...

When she wrote the letter, she clearly did not write down the specific geographical name.

"Daze Township is adjacent to the former site of the Xiang clan in Chu..."

Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him, and Zhao Gao hurried over to whisper in Ying Zheng's ear, saying a few words.

Ying Zheng's eyebrows sank, and he looked at her, "We will discuss this matter after the highway is built to Daze Township."

Xu Zhi wanted to follow.

Zhao Gao suddenly stood in front of Xu Zhi.

"Princess Yong'an, please stop."

Ying Zheng had already boarded the carriage, "Zhao Gao."

"Your Majesty, Princess Yong'an may have something to say to this servant. I will be there in a moment."

Zhao Gao did not move, half bowed and said: "The Emperor has important matters to attend to. Princess, please return."

She frowned, "What did you tell Father?"

It was already dark. If it were any other day, Ying Zheng would have taken her with him in the car and left.

"I have said a lot," said Zhao Gao.

His power to wield the seal was taken away by Ying Hehua, and he exaggerated a lot of things, which he could not remember clearly.

He had just eavesdropped on their conversation. Ying Hehua was much simpler than he thought. She gave up the marriage with the Meng family just because of a man - the man Zhao Gao hated the most - Zhang Liang helped Qin to destroy Zhao and deserved to die.

He didn't mind giving Li Xian a push when he tried to kill Zhang Liang.

Unfortunately, due to the stumbling block of Yao Jia, he was unable to see Zhang Liang's body being taken out of the Xianyang prison with his own eyes.

Now it seems that what Xu Fu explained to him is not a bad thing. Letting the amnesiac Zhang Liang live for two more years can also contain Ying Hehua more. Or he can use him to completely make Ying Hehua lose the trust of Ying Zheng.

Faced with a princess who might fall out of favor, lose power, and soon leave Xianyang, Zhao Gao was not afraid at all.

"Your Highness the Princess has already stretched her hand far enough, could it be that she wants to inquire about the Emperor's whereabouts and government affairs?"

She said seriously, "I didn't mean that. Please don't accuse me."

Zhao Gao smiled slyly and said, "I dare not." "I am reminding the princess that she cannot bear to be called a woman of Chu. His Majesty was furious and stopped the princess's small discussion in Fuqiu Palace, but only gave her a small punishment. If the princess does not obey, she may not be able to stay in Zhangtai Palace."

After all, she had been influenced by Ying Zheng for many years.

"The law has provisions to encourage widows. The Minister of the Imperial Chariots is familiar with the law and should know it better than me. The whole world belongs to Qin, so where does Chu come from? Whether I stay in Zhangtai Palace or not is none of the Minister's business."

Zhao Gao said sternly, "Princess, you are trying to seize power and authority, and you are competing with ministers for profit. This is a serious taboo. Breaking taboos is a capital crime."

His remarks are based on the classics of Legalism.

Zhao Gao was threatening her.

Xu Zhi raised his eyes and smiled softly, "The Minister of the Imperial Chariot Office is indeed well-versed in the laws. However, as a minister of the king, you must not cross the chasm. Have you ever measured your neck with the ink string?"

The crowns and tassels of the king and his ministers are like rainbows, and they must not cross the natural barriers. This is the content of the Zhou Li.

Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly. On the point of Legalism, he and Li Si were in agreement.

When Ying Hehua was a child, she not only wanted Li Si to teach her how to write but also to learn law.

Before she got married, she competed with her younger brother Hu Hai, who was less than ten years old, for the position of teacher Zhao Gao, and even took the matter to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was never fair to everyone, and by accident he terminated Zhao Gao's position as Taifu.

Zhao Gao's chance to get in touch with the next generation and to achieve success in his old age was ruined by her.

His smile was cold, and his voice was gentle but chilling. "Your Highness really read the Zhou Li very well. No wonder even the great scholar Xunzi of Qi praised you highly. It's a pity that Xunzi is old. If you want to find a new teacher, you should hurry up."

It was getting dark.

The bronze Panchi lamp on the tower has been lit, and the light and shadow outline her sharp eyebrows. "Father had a good relationship with Han Fei in the past. Han Fei died unjustly. The Prime Minister and Han Fei were both disciples of Xunzi. Xunzi is old, so father gave Baqiao Palace to Xunzi to live in, and even handed over his travel vehicles to the Shaofu. Under the Shaofu, the car house is in charge to be prepared for any eventuality. You still have to consider it a little bit."

Zhao Gao felt very uncomfortable when he saw Ying Hehua leaving.

The day before yesterday, Zhao Jia, the crown prince of their Zhao State, accidentally ran into him when he returned to Xianyang, and respectfully and politely called him "Lord Zhao".

She is just like her father, she forgets everything when she grows up!

Ying Zheng fled with him in Zhao State for a year. After entering Qin State, he served as a servant.

Ying Zheng ordered him around.

Why can Ying Hehua intimidate him?

After all, he is now the Minister of the Imperial Chariots, not just a eunuch!
When Zhao Gao thought of this word, he felt so angry that his teeth itched!

He really wanted to tear him apart and whip his corpse after he became such a person!

Lu Buwei, he deserves to die without a burial place.

However, God blesses him! Whatever he wants comes true!
Just now, he and Ying Zheng reported to Li Si the purpose of their visit, saying that they had found the original copy of "Lüshi Chunqiu" stored in the Da Zheng Palace in Yongcheng.

This night was very long.

Meng Tian got married and the eldest princess married.

Meng Yi unexpectedly got a short period of peace. He neither saw the annoying Li father and son, nor did he wait for Ying Hehua.

Zhangtai Palace and Baqiao Palace were brightly lit.

Ying Zheng sat at his desk, accompanied by Li Si and under the watchful eyes of Zhao Gao, he personally unravelled the secret that had been sealed for twenty years.

He couldn't figure out what it was that made Lu Buwei rather commit suicide by taking poison than report it?
Li Si looked melancholy, and he tapped the lacquered table with the knuckle of his index finger to hide his nervousness.

Zhao Gao predicted that Ying Zheng would be furious, and his heart was in his throat.

On the other side, Li Xian and Ying Hehua sat around Xunzi.

Sikong Ma made the first move. He and Xunzi, like Zhao Gao, read it over before giving it to them.

However, he looked relaxed. Seeing Li Xian and Ying Hehua concentrating, he smiled and said, "It's just one person's story. You two don't have to be so nervous."

Four people opened "Lüshi Chunqiu" at the same time.

The content written above is really difficult to understand without annotations.

None of them figured it out. The beginning of Lüshi Chunqiu records the story of a man named Chen She:
【Chen Sheng was from Yangcheng, with the courtesy name She. Wu Guang was from Yangxia, with the courtesy name Shu. When Chen She was young, he worked as a hired farmer. He stopped working on the ridge and felt sad for a long time. He said, "If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me." The hired farmer smiled and replied, "How can you become rich and powerful if you work as a hired farmer?" Chen She sighed and said, "Alas! How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan!"】

【You all have missed the deadline due to the rain, and those who missed the deadline should be executed. I asked my brother not to execute you, but there were already sixteen or seventeen dead in the garrison. Besides, it is fine for a brave man not to die, but to die is to leave a great name.】

[He said: Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species? ]

Li Xian's expression changed slightly.

Li Si was very secretive about this.

Ying Zheng looked normal.

Zhao Gao was extremely puzzled. Why didn't Ying Zheng show any anger at all?

Instead of being angry, he laughed out loud!
The gloom in Ying Zheng's eyes disappeared. If someone begged for his forgiveness, he would feel sick.

He thought that since Lu Buwei wrote a character like Chen Sheng, his respect for him was not in vain.

If you were weak when you were young, how could you not achieve great things?

Ying Zheng even felt that Chen Sheng was another version of himself.

He admired such insights and believed that this kind of Lu Buwei was his teacher and his uncle.

"Your Majesty, this..." Zhao Gao was stunned and did not respond for a long time, "This person..."

"With his bold words and impressive insights, Chen Sheng is quite a hero."

Ying Zheng closed the paper and quickly pushed it aside.

He asked Li Si to put the issues of Chidao, Tongshu and Tonggui on the agenda.

Ying Zheng suddenly stopped writing in red, read a scroll and said to Li Si, "Think carefully about it."

"Your Majesty's intention is that if you are late for the imperial court to send troops, you will be fined two armors. If you miss the deadline by three to five days, you will be punished. If you miss the deadline by six to ten days, you will be fined one shield. If you miss ten days, you will be fined one armor. If it rains or disasters, the punishment can be waived."

"can."

Among all the people, only Xu Zhi was horrified.

Her scalp tingled. The book that had been enforcing the ban in the Qin Palace was not the one compiled by Lu Buwei.

"This is not Lüshi Chunqiu, this, this is the content of Records of the Grand Historian..."

"What is Records of the Grand Historian?" Li Xian asked.

She looked at him and said, "All the stories I told you are from the Records of the Grand Historian."

At this time, Sikong Ma read it carefully again, "Who is this Chen Sheng? How can he say such shocking things?"

Xu Zhi was about to speak.

"A commoner who refuses to be oppressed." Li Xian said.

Sikong Ma was confused. "Why would the princess let Zhang Cang send such a small amount of information?"

"You said that this was actually given by Zhang Cang?"

"Yes. But Zhang Cang only presented the first page of the original volume. The rest of the text is still in his hands."

Zhang Cang...

He was a student of Xunzi, a fellow student of Li Si and Han Fei, an official of the Qin State, a prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and the master of Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. He also worked with Mo Qi for many years under Lu Buwei.

He is indeed not simple.

How could he come up with such a book?
Just a few days ago, she killed Zhang Er. Xu Zhi was almost sweating profusely. If she looked at the scroll for one more moment, her hair would stand on end.

Xu Zhi's hands were shaking. The records that followed described the year of Qin's fall and the rise of the Han Dynasty. That was what was scary.

She had to quickly confirm one thing. If this was written by Mo Qi, she had to know how much he had written and how many people had read it.

Could it be that Lu Buwei already knew the fate of Qin?

Since he started, everyone actually knew the truth and was just playing it openly? !
"Azhi, please go to Zhongnan quickly and ask Mr. Moqi to come down the mountain no matter what."

"No."

Xunzi's old and turbid voice was accompanied by a cough.

Sikong Ma understood very quickly, "Teacher asked the princess to be patient. There are too many disputes in Zhongnan Mountain. It would make too much noise if Mo Qi went down the mountain. I don't know how this book will be received in Zhangtai Palace..."

"It is also."

Xunzi stroked his beard, and his wise eyes penetrated the bamboo slips.

Sikong Ma helped him forward and said, "Teacher, are you going to go up the mountain yourself? But your health..."

Xunzi raised his hand and smiled, recalling many past events.

"Since I entered Qin, I knew that I had to make this journey no matter what."

Xu Zhi shook his head. "Mr. Sikong is right. Mount Zhongnan is very steep and you can't go there. I can write a letter and you can include it in the letter."

Li Xian said: "The younger generation can do it for you."

His wrinkled hands gently pressed her, "Princess, don't worry. I haven't seen him for many years. If you count carefully, it's been almost thirty years."

Xunzi looked at Li Xian. He was wearing a Qin robe, and his figure was thin. The dark red ribbon was winding behind him like coagulated blood. He looked exactly like his father when he was young.

In late summer, willow trees sway outside the Baqiao Palace.

The lights were bright, the wind lifted up his sleeves, and his loneliness added to his sense of vicissitudes.

He had remembered many things. Mozi was a master at making crossbows, and this technology was passed down from Mount Zhongnan to Korea, where it was named Jinhan.

The Mohists' backbones have been cut into wedges for siege work.

"How can the doctrine of universal love be regarded as non-aggression?"

Li Si, Han Fei and Zhang Cang were his students.

Mo Qi, Han An, and Tao Yao are Mozi's students.

Xunzi pondered, as if he was having a distant conversation with Mozi.

"It seems that our students are not easy to manage now." (End of this chapter)
