It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

The winter snow is going away and the spring flowers are in bud.

The plum blossoms in Zhilan Palace have not yet withered.

With so many lessons learned from the past, she was determined to make preparations early for the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

Xu Zhi converted the southeast corner of the palace into a palace similar to a treasury palace, which is an exhibition room according to modern concepts, and is similar to Mo Qi's secret pavilion in Zhongnan Mountain.

Xu Zhi divided the room into three different departments, namely craftsmanship and molds, books and classics, and the last one was her initial conception after visiting Mo Qi's secret room.

However, since her thoughts were not in sync now, she kept it as a secret and did not develop it for the time being.

After finishing all these, she looked at the brand new palace and always felt that something was missing.

A half-man-high old sealed red lacquer box appeared in Xu Zhi's eyes again. When she was young, she found Zheng Li's miscellaneous pendants here. The color of the miscellaneous pendant's embroidery thread changed with age, and the red and blue lines faded to pink and white. The water bird lying on the river was still agile, stretching its neck and looking up at the sky.

Xu Zhi smiled knowingly when she saw the exquisite craftsmanship on the miscellaneous pendant. It was because of this miscellaneous pendant that she dared to use it to confirm the sincerity of the two people. Now, she must think that these are all toys used to deceive people.

As she moved, the knot suddenly came into view, a detail she had not noticed when she was a child - the tassels were in the shape of a double fish knot, and underneath the double fish there was a pair of buckled rings.

Pisces knot.

Her heart trembled slightly, and a flood of memories suddenly hit her.

——"My mother said that this is the custom of my hometown."

"If you want to tie your hair, it should be a double ring."

She couldn't react quickly at that time, but now the aftermath is surging - the former site of the Zheng royal family and the former site of Korea are all in the same place.

No wonder their weaving techniques are somewhat similar.

Back then, Zheng Li had her memory wiped out by Chu Wu.

And now, she did something similar to Zhang Liang.

She felt slightly suffocated, and seemed to understand a little bit what Zhao Jia meant when he said that those who remember will be more painful.

Xu Zhi didn't want to get caught up in this vortex of contradiction, so he quickly stuffed a piece of spice to repel termites into his mother's artwork and put it back in the sandalwood box.

He walked a little fast, and a device about 20 cm long and 10 cm in size was placed neatly on one side of the box.

This is the model that was sent to the Xianyang Palace when Zheng Guo was building the Zhengguo Canal.

As soon as Zheng Guo heard that Ying Hehua summoned him, he came to Zhilan Palace early in the morning.

He has always been a person who speaks his mind and can't hide things. In Zheng Guo's impression, Ying Hehua can be regarded as the representative chosen by Ying Zheng among the royal family. There are some things that Fusu can't do. In addition, Ying Hehua has a strong and domineering personality, which can have a good deterrent effect. She is also his daughter, so he always trusts her more than others.

"I have been staying in Xianyang recently because of my daughter's visit to Qin, not because I want to stay here. My daughter has seen her old friend, so I will take her back to Guanzhong..."

Recently, the old forces in South Korea are in the stage of liquidation. Before Zheng Guo came to Zhilan Palace, he was also kindly reminded by his senior brother Li Si.

He explained it very diligently.

Seeing Zheng Guo's expression, Xu Zhi couldn't help but feel depressed.

"I am not an inspector. You don't have to report to me what you do in Xianyang."

Inspector. Zheng Guo suddenly remembered something. Did Li Xian tell Ying Hehua something?

In fact, it was not a big deal - his daughter had always been lively. She loved to go out early and come back late in Han. She was still like this when she came to Xianyang. She often returned to the city at the last minute and was caught by the Xianyang guards. After they interrogated her, they found out that she was the daughter of Zheng Shuiling. Officials who committed crimes were punished the same as common people, and their families were the same. Zheng Chou was sent to the Tingwei Prison for seven days.

If not for this, Zheng Guo would have taken Zheng Chou back to Jingyang long ago.

This was the time when the royal family was trying to find fault with the former Korean ministers.

Of course, Ying Hehua's question scared him a lot.

"Princess, when the inspector questioned me earlier, what I said was consistent with what you said. Princess, please understand."

"Mingjian?" Xu Zhi didn't know what was going on.

Zheng Guo lowered his head and told the whole story of Zheng Chou. He was about to leave the table and prepared to kneel down to plead for his daughter.

"..." Xu Zhi read the Qin law, but after all, he lived in modern times, and after so long he was somewhat uncomfortable with the curfew clause.

Xu Zhi asked Zheng Guo to stand up. "I don't want to question Lord Zheng about this matter. The supervisors should just handle the matter impartially. I believe that Li Tingwei will also supervise it."

The implication was that if he wanted to ask for mercy, he should go directly to Li Si, as she had never paid any attention to Zheng Chou's matter.

Zheng Guo felt much more at ease after hearing her say this.

She changed the subject and asked, "Does Mr. Zheng still remember this?"

Of course Zheng Guo remembered. When the canal was first built, Ying Zheng sent him to make a 1000:1 model and put it in Xianyang. It is said that this model was later copied, and Ying Zheng gave her a simplified version on her birthday one year.

Zheng Guo was afraid that the princess would be bumped by iron or wood, and he was afraid of causing trouble.

Ying Zheng once tried to appease Zheng Guo, saying that his little princess was not interested in this and might lose interest after playing for a few days.

As it turned out, just as his father had said, Ying Hehua did not use rivers as a survey to become an outstanding water engineer.

What Ying Hehua has always measured is the human heart.

Zheng Guo heard that she wanted to change the subject, so he just listened to her continue.

"Grandmother Wang's birthday is coming up. I want to gather some female craftsmen with extraordinary skills to come to Zhilan Palace to make some exquisite handicrafts."

At that time, Zheng Guo did not know that this was the source of those strange "industrial products" of Qin State many years later.

"Why would the princess seek out an official?"

She handed him the canal model. "It looks like the one Shui Ling has." She smiled and said, "Some time ago, I visited Supervisor Li's residence and saw a similar one in Zuo Che's hand. I guess Shui Ling knows someone who knows how to make this. If it's a woman, I hope you can recommend her."

Zheng Guo looked at the model, he was as pure as she expected.

"Zuoche... Oh, I remember now. Before I went to Honggou with the Minister of Justice, I did give him a water cart."

"The things made by the water are very exquisite."

Most Koreans have always been deft at their craft.

Zheng Guo's expression relaxed after hearing what Xu Zhi said. He felt that Ying Hehua was a little princess after all, and the toys that a girl liked were nothing like those she had when she was a child.

He said, "To be honest, I only know how to make things like this. I'm afraid I'm not particularly good at making things that the princess likes." He continued, "Master Ju...ah, Lord Wei, you should be better at making techniques than I am."

As usual, he regretted the moment he said it.

Wei Ju and Ying Hehua had experienced unhappy marriages, so why was he bringing that up?

"… Your Excellency, I am not trying to shirk responsibility." "Your Excellency accidentally learned that Lord Wei had studied under the Mohist school."

Xu Zhi smiled, "I can't ask him to come to my palace."

Zheng Guo was sweating profusely. He was so nervous that he couldn't help talking. "Or, the princess can talk to the inspector..."

...Xu Zhi also didn't know why the King of Han chose Zheng Guo as a spy? Did he see his absolute sincerity as the best way to deceive people?

Zheng Guo suddenly remembered who this little princess in front of him had run away from marriage with, but because of her status, the marriage had been put on hold.

He even dared to mention the Inspector, and mentioned it so many times.

…“You deserve to die.”

Xu Zhi waved his hand, "It's okay. I'm looking for Shui Ling because he's always been honest."

"Please enlighten me, Princess. Why don't you just choose the royal family from the streets?"

"Zhilan Palace is independent and not in Xianyang Palace. I have informed my father in advance. You can first limit the selection criteria to Qin women, and then order people to let the women of the six countries "protest" and then relax the conditions. Are you still worried about not being able to find someone?"

Zheng Guo has a pure mind, so he can truly see Ying Hehua's true intentions.

It's not that I'm afraid that no one will propose to me. The Princess of Qin has summoned me, given me money and fame, so I'm not afraid of being flocking to me.

By doing this, she was quietly demonstrating Qin's tolerance.

After Zheng Guo left.

Ah Zhi looked at the box of gold flakes in front of him, and heard Ying Hehua say, "During this period of time, most Qi merchants have been uneasy. They are worried that trade with Qin people will be listed as a prohibited thing. Qi's business is prosperous, and Qin is self-reliant, but Qi's trade with other places cannot be banned. It is appropriate to ask Huai Qing to mediate. Let them feel at ease."

"Will the princess's action offend the court officials who want to destroy Qi in one day?"

When Xunzi came to Qin, it was not only Xunzi who came, but also the doctors of the Jixia School.

Xu Zhi knew what some of Qin's court officials were really worried about.

Qi was different from Chu, as Qi culture had a long history and was orthodox. Qi itself was not a formidable threat, but the Confucianism prevalent in the Jixia Academy was the most difficult obstacle in the choice of path.

She took a sip of her tea and saw that some real directions were finally emerging on the chessboard.

"I am just conveying my father's intentions."

In real history, the prerequisite for the great debate between Confucianism and Legalism was that the king's attention was really inclined towards both sides.

If they were really so determined to choose the Legalists, why did they establish the doctoral officials and allow them to have the right to speak in the court immediately after unification?

Fusu had always been influenced by Qi culture. This time, after he came back from Hangu Pass, Chunyu Yue was still his formal tutor.

And back then, Ying Zheng also agreed to let Zhang Liang be her teacher.

Does this mean that Ying Zheng did think about integration?

Xu Zhi’s confidence comes from this.

So what went wrong along the way that led to the evil of book burning?

Li Si.

He is the most critical person.
