It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Xu Zhi returned to Zhilan Palace, still in a trance.

No one knows what kind of baptism she went through.

On the second day, at the court meeting in Zhangtai Palace, she looked at the crowd of court officials, whose sleeves were blown up by the wind.

Mo Qi said that in addition to his failures, there were also his achievements.

Creation? Xu Zhi felt dizzy.

Chunyu Yue's voice was heard in the hall.

"When Confucius climbed Mount Dongshan, he looked down on Lu; when he climbed Mount Taishan, he looked down on the world. Between heaven and earth, these two mountains are extraordinary, and they have a royal aura."

As for the royal entourage, unexpectedly, they were met with opposition as soon as their names were announced.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Li Si looked forward and bowed to Ying Zheng, "Your Highness has been on tour many times, and the journey is difficult. I'm afraid your body can't bear the fatigue. It would be best to wait until the highway is built and open another smooth route."

Li Si's words were both to please Ying Zheng and to keep Ying Hehua in Xianyang.

"I have objections!"

Li Si's expression darkened.

"The princess is chaste and serene, demonstrating the virtue of our Great Qin. Only the princess can lead the Eastern Tour!"

Chunyu Yue's old voice echoed in the dome, "In the past, when you were traveling to Chu, you encountered an unexpected incident on the road, and the princess had the merit of protecting your majesty. When Zheng went south, he found the wonders of Lingqu Canal. Such a gentle method, how can three thousand soldiers replace it?"

Light and shadow danced on Li Si's body.

"The road has not been built yet, and banditry is rampant. The Qin government is being implemented, and the people are cultivating their land. If something unexpected happens to the princess, it may hurt your majesty's heart."

Li Si hinted at the activities of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in Sishui County.

Chunyu Yue didn't know.

The common people should cultivate their own land, which was a new policy proposed by Li Si just last month. The emperor was reminding him that the alliance between the Legalists and the royal family was not yet solid.

Ying Zheng found that Ying Hehua didn't say a word. She didn't express whether she wanted to go or not.

She remained unusually quiet.

The atmosphere was tense. A dark color flashed across Li Xian's calm eyes. He turned his head and quickly exchanged glances with Wei Ju.

In the extremely quiet atmosphere, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

"I have something to report. I have obtained the harvest of millet and sorghum, and the increase in the amount of grain, and Guanzhong has also obtained the three harvest seasons."

He didn't say much, nor did he look at Ying Hehua. He just submitted the documents.

Of course Yao Jia reacted quickly, because Li Xian was Li Si's son after all.

These days, Li Si also made him understand that he should not clash with his father in court meetings.

However, Wei Ju immediately realized that something was wrong with this kid!

He was the first to propose the idea of ​​marrying Ying Hehua, but after returning to Wei and serving as King of Wei for half a month, his country was destroyed.

The fact that these members of the Wei royal family were not purged and survived safely in Xianyang was not only because of their own obedience, but also because of Ying Hehua.

Xu Zhi looked at Wei Ju, not expecting him to show up at this time.

Back then, Xu Zhi allowed Zhang Liang to go on a diplomatic mission to the State of Wei and turned a blind eye to allowing him to make friends with the retainers of Lord Xinling. His purpose was not only to test Zhang Liang, but also for a greater purpose.

She asked Zhang Liang to speak on her behalf and help her to break Wei Ju's insistence on the Wei State and to defend against the Qin State.

Zhang Liang took a completely opposite path.

But Wei Ju was not.

Yao Jia had no idea that it was not only politicians who had the final say. People like Wei Ju who worked in the Yuelin Palace "Research Institute" were not idlers. In modern times, they were called scientists and key national professional and technical personnel.

"Daliangzao,"

Ying Zheng raised his hand, not letting Yao Jia finish his words, and asked Zhao Gao to bring up Wei Ju's letter.

There is no person in power who would not be excited to find that there are people under his control who can solve the food problem.

After reading it, Ying Zheng said several good things.

Yao Jia knew it was inappropriate to say anything more, so he used his identity as a Wei person to remind them and returned to their original position.

"I am reporting this matter today because of the opportunity of Your Majesty's eastern tour. The soil in Langya County is fertile. If this method is implemented in the four counties of Shandong." "It will be a blessing for the people." Ying Zheng said.

Wei Jiu nodded, "Your Majesty is right. Shandong is a land of many Confucian scholars who love education. I have already told Grand Tutor Chunyu that Princess Yong'an must go with Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Yao Jia smiled and looked at Wei Liao. Wei Liao was a close minister. Before Qin was enthroned, he only discussed matters in Fuqiu Palace and rarely attended meetings in Zhangtai Palace.

This time, his attendance was rare.

He smiled and said lightly: "Da Liangzao, do you think that the princess is learning the words of Confucianism and the teachings of enlightenment?"

Li Si felt something was wrong.

Wei Ju said: "The princess went to Han and Zhao twice, and composed Qin laws into ballads based on the Cheng Xiang Pian, so that the people knew the names of criminal laws as well as the laws of farming. Isn't this "correcting customs to change people's nature"?"

Ying Zheng was indeed surprised. "You said, Yong'an can help you? I didn't know that my daughter has a talent for farming."

Chunyu Yue saw that the situation was tilting in his favor. "In the past, Duke Zhou established etiquette, and women were not allowed to have affairs outside. However, the princess's virtuous behavior can highlight the virtues of the queen in "Guanju", and let the people know that the court values ​​human relations and respects education. This is the will of heaven!"

"Your Majesty has inherited the grace of Heaven, and the six kingdoms have united. This is the true destiny. How can the princess say that she has the destiny?" Confucian scholar Zhou Qingchen continued, "The princess was tyrannical when the kingdom was destroyed. The ministers who surrendered in Yingchuan died. In front of Longtai Palace, countless Zhao ministers were killed and injured," he glanced at Wei Ju and continued disdainfully, "and the blood of Wei people flowed for hundreds of miles."

His words were bold. Among the Confucian scholars, Zhou Qingchen had always flattered Ying Zheng and was the only Confucian scholar who openly supported Qin Zheng. His words caused many people in the court to whisper, including some old ministers who knew the inside story.

Li Si has been waiting for this opportunity to suppress Ying Hehua for a long time.

In the past, she always took his words as a guide. He valued Ying Hehua very much and once thought that she had a better future than those sons of Ying Zheng who were immersed in the hands of Confucian scholars. Whenever she asked for advice, he would teach her everything he knew.

She herself did not disappoint him. When he expelled the guests, she secretly helped him to persuade Wang Wan to help him, which unexpectedly ignited his fighting spirit to stay in Qin.

In his early years, Li Si saw Ying Hehua and Li Xian as childhood sweethearts, and he was even prepared to write a letter to Ying Zheng to ask for a marriage between them.

He firmly believed that with the Li family behind her, she would never be content with being just a princess in the future.

This is the princess for whom he has infinite expectations.

Have you turned against him till now?

Why did she keep going against me after Wang Wan's death?

He also found various ways to train his son to be worse than a dog.

Even a dog might know to throw a bone when feeding it, but she has never been kind to anyone.

How could she contact Wei Ju, the one he despised the most—the abandoned son of Lord Changping, and openly oppose him in the court? !
When Li Si thought of this, he couldn't bear it anymore.

The Shang Yang Fangsheng jade hanging around his waist was about to fall to the ground with a clang, and he clenched it tightly.

"Dr. Chunyu is wrong!" Li Si swept the Konglu jade pendant in Chunyu Yue's hand with his wide sleeves. "I personally taught the princess. Anyone who is sure of it without any verification is foolish; anyone who is not sure of it but bases it on facts is slanderous."

This time she also saw Li Si clenching his fist.

She looked at Li Si who was not polite. After understanding the sharpness in his words, she couldn't help but frown and smile bitterly with Mo Qi's words echoing in her mind. "I know what the Prime Minister said. However, the unpredictable changes and the unknown end are exactly what is happening now."

Li Si was a little confused. He looked at her and said, "Princess, your explanation is wonderful. The world is changing, and ancient rituals are conservative. What's more, human ethics and education?"

This question really made Li Xian feel scared.

He knew his father so well that it was no longer a question of whether he should go to Dongxun, but a debate between Confucianism and Legalism. If Li Si had a chance of winning, he would never give up.

The atmosphere was tense, making the late summer day hot again.

However, it was raining outside, and the rain was getting heavier.

"Wait a minute!"

"Who is making a fuss here?" Zhao Gao finally got the chance to say something.

"I am Sikong Ma,"

The old ministers who had served in Qin for some years immediately began to talk about it.

Sikong Ma, a retainer of Lu Buwei!

Li Si's former colleague.

Why is he here?

The ministers only saw two figures appear at the gate of Zhangtai Palace.

And it’s not just Sikong Ma, there’s also the one who lives in Baqiao Palace – the elderly Xunzi. (End of this chapter)
