It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The night was still quiet, and King Qin's car kept driving. As the speed became faster, the car began to shake.

Looking at the disappearing brown-black vegetation outside the window, listening to the sound of wheels along the way, I finally arrived at the pass that used to be the junction between Wei and Chu.

"I heard that He Hua killed three thousand Wei troops here?"

Ying Zheng suddenly spoke, and Zhao Gao on the side was suddenly startled. He had been running on the road for a long time, but the king was not sleepy at all.

"I thought that the message sent back from Daliang might be wrong because Her Royal Highness the Princess has been growing up by the King's side since childhood."

It didn't matter that Zhao Gao took a nap, but it was obvious that Ying Zheng was not satisfied with his answer.

Zhao Gao didn't know when he started. He had been serving Ying Zheng well, but in recent years he had always been thrown into confusion by some wrong news.

He had become extremely cautious and could not tell whether the news was true or false. As the number of times increased, Ying Zheng began to no longer leave some matters to him.

Not long ago, Zhao Gao discovered that these all have the same characteristic - they involve the state of Chu.

Zhao Gao completely regarded this as Lord Changping's rebellion and the chain reaction caused by Zhang Ping's betrayal.

"My Lord Attendant, this is a good time to help the king solve his problems."

Zhao Gao felt that the old man Wei Liao could stand and talk without pain in his back.

He was not Meng Yi, let alone Wang Wan, so Zhao Gaocai did not dare to interfere blindly.

It is still the critical moment to destroy Chu. It was easy for things to go wrong, and even Mrs. Mi Li, King Qin's favorite, was ordered to stay in Zhilan Palace.

Among the courtiers, all Chu people wanted to avoid suspicion, except for one person - Lord Tingwei Li Si.

Ying Zheng did not shy away from Li Si at all and asked him to stay in Zhangtai Palace day and night to discuss matters.

So at this time, I heard Ying Zheng talking about Ying Hehua. Ying Hehua's recent reputation has been bad, and she is also a hot potato.

Zhao Gao wanted to retreat as soon as he could, so he quickly invited Li Tingwei from the car behind.

"The king said that he would like to discuss important matters in Chen Ying with you."

Li Si glanced at the sky and quickly straightened his clothes.

Approaching the king's chariot, Zhao Gao hesitated to speak, "Lord Tingwei,"

Seeing Zhao Gao's bitter face, Li Si narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Only Zhao Gao said: "The king may want to ask about Princess Yong'an. The day before yesterday, I heard that Mrs. Mi was banned because of the princess's affairs. You should pay attention to it later." Zhao Gao paused, "It seems to be related to the pass."

Li Si glanced at it and found out that Li Si himself knew much more about Princess Yong'an.

Zhao Gao seemed to be reminding him, but in fact he wanted to find someone to answer the question for him.

"Please remind me, please."

Zhao Gao nodded.

Before Li Si entered the king's carriage, Ying Zheng thought a lot.

As for how the border country in Longxi is now conquering the world.

As for, after he pacified the world, what was the way to govern the country?

Because his country is so powerful, he is also an unparalleled king.

But why are his family and friends in the pain of separation?

Ying Zheng hoped that Li Si could answer his confusion, just as he had solved Lu Buwei's confusion from Li Si's mouth.

Li Si, who was both his minister, teacher and friend, was the only person Ying Zheng wanted to get the answer from.

"Your Majesty."

The taste of Qin wine is very strong and turbid.

Ying Zheng said: "Once upon a time, during the reign of Duke Mu of Qin, the Wei State not only took away Qin's land west of Hexi, but also threatened to defeat me, the Qin people, so that they would not dare to go west to Hangu."

"Your Majesty."

Li Si Zhen sat in front of the case, as if time went back sixteen years ago.

"It's much easier to get out of Hangu Pass now."

"I would like to know what Tingwei thinks of Qin?"

When Li Si talked about Qin, he didn't just talk about Qin. He discussed Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Qi one by one, and finally talked about the state of Chu.

"My teacher said that the rhinoceros curse of the Chu people is like armor, a wheel is like gold and stone; a huge iron is as miserable as a bee's egg; it is easy to use Confucianism to fly, so those who rule it are like the wind. But the soldiers are dying on the sand... Isn't it unsteady? Is it because of the way? You and Ying thought it was dangerous, and the river and Han were limited to Denglin and Fangcheng. Is there no solid blockage or obstruction? The reason why it is unified is not the way."

Xunzi, the royal master known as the master of Confucianism, taught Han Fei and Li Si, two leaders of Legalism.

Ying Zheng was satisfied with Li Si's answer.

However, when it came to Ying Zheng's last question, Li Si was also visibly at a loss.

Why are friends and family in agony of being torn apart?

Li Si often woke up from those indescribable nightmares.

He dreamed of blood and betrayal.

If he shouts hoarse, what he gets in the end is just an empty dream.

Li Si would never accept it.

And when his son worked tirelessly to prevent this nightmare, Li Si was in a trance for a moment, as if it all started from that sentence.

Ying Hehua pulled his sleeve in Xianyang Palace Road and said to him - Guest guest, my father trusts you the most in his life.

Li Si saw the moonlight shining softly on Ying Zheng's face, making his chiseled features soften a lot.

"I think that someone among the king's descendants has given the king the best answer."

Ying Zheng looked at him.

Li Si put down the cup in his hand and said softly, "Princess Yong'an."

Ying Zheng pinched the bridge of his nose. He felt very unhappy when he thought of the self-incriminating essay his daughter wrote to exonerate Zhang Liang.

Li Si was well versed in observing words and emotions, and he opened up the topic and revealed the past that had been dusty for two or three years, and mentioned that the real reason why Li Zuoche was adopted by him was because of Ying Hehua.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and laughed.

"Tingwei, Tingwei, Sui Man has always been so bold and bold, but he actually bluffed you? She is staying in Chu State and will not come back. I don't think there is anyone in the world that she would be afraid of."

"minister,"

Ying Zheng stopped his words and looked deeply, "I know that Wei Ting is not familiar with military affairs. Do you know why I took you with me on the trip of the governor?"

The topic finally came to that matter.

Ying Hehua is in Huaiyin.

Both he and Ying Zheng knew very well that Ying Hehua did this to delay Zhang Liang.

But Li Si knew that he must not say this.

He lowered his head and lowered his body, "As soon as I arrive at Huai River, I will ask the Secret Pavilion to send a letter, ordering the traitor to return to Nanzheng County immediately."

Ying Zheng asked Li Si to get up and said solemnly: "I just think it's for Ting Wei's sake and won't pursue any further investigation."

Ying Zheng arrived at Wang Jian's commander's tent at dawn.

The black flag fluttered in the long hunting wind, and the Huai River was slightly cold, which could not eliminate the long-standing fighting spirit in the hearts of all Qin soldiers.

Wang Jian and a group of generals stood respectfully in front.

Wang Jian's feet had been replaced by heavy iron military boots with soft soles. The heavy sword at his waist was already shaking a bit, and his military uniform was not as fit as before.

When the Qin State was destroyed, Wang Jian participated in the most battles. Frontline battles have always been difficult. For six or seven years, this old man in his sixties has been working hard. The two armies on both sides of the Huai River faced each other for nearly a year, eating and living with the other armies.

Seeing Wang Jian's weathered condition.

Ying Zheng was deeply moved and took the lead to greet him.

Wang Jian immediately stepped forward and said, "How dare I accept this great gift from your Majesty?"

"General, it's hard work, why can't you bear it?"

They went into the big tent to discuss. Many battles are taking place at night.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the army and occupied the building to take a look. The morale of the Qin army greatly increased.

The stars are dotted and the autumn air is crisp.

After leaving the camp, Li Si noticed a familiar person standing next to Wang Jian. He was the Qin guard who had been separated from the royal city guards to escort Ying Hehua to Yongcheng.

Ying Hehua also intentionally sent it to Wang Jian's tent in Handan.

She was also good at judging people. This Zhang Han had gone from the partial army to the central army in just a few years.

Although Zhang Han was in the army, he also knew a lot about this Lord Ting Wei - Li Si accompanied Ying Zheng wherever he went. At present, it seems that few ministers of Chu State have such favor.

Princess Yong'an escaped from marriage, and Li Si's son was involved, and the king did not lose his trust.

"Lord Tingwei, there is no harm in speaking out."

After Li Si's words, Zhang Han couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is this what Lord Tingwei means?"

Li Si shook his head, "This is the king's intention."

Before the old ministers of the Three Jin Dynasties rebelled, it was not like imprisoning the King of Han in Liangshan, nor was it like killing all the Zhao clan, nor was it like leaving the Wei clan in Daliang when Wei was destroyed.

Chu is a country with complex roots. Once there is a common enemy outside, the Chu people will share the same hatred.

Therefore, Ying Zheng wanted to tie all the members of the Chu royal family to Xianyang.

I don't know since when, there was a rumor among the Xiang family's army - Xiang's son was born with a strange phenomenon when he was born, and he was the Prime Minister of Chu.

Rumors spread all of a sudden.

The autumn water has turned cold, and the autumn wind has blown the reed heads white, doubling the pressure on the Chu army, which was not united enough.

The sergeant looked at the dwindling rations and said sadly: "What can we do? How long can the Chu country last?"

"Tsk. Our king is not in a hurry. Why are we in a hurry?"

In 223 BC, the Qin army defeated the Chu army and Ji.

The Battle of the Thistle took place one autumn day.

Xiang Yan holds a big tree in her hand, her white hair flying in the wind.
