It is said that Qin Shihuang was controlled by a daughter

Chapter 449 Sir, how can you not teach excellent students? (2)

"Sir, you should be careful not to speak nonsense when you are in Qin." "This scroll contains only the number of silk and cloth. Is it because you are so anxious that it doesn't match?"

The stubble on Tian Dan's lips trembled with anger.

When he was a prince of Qi, he held a spring festival and saw farmers working. He saw the black marks on Xu Zhi's face, as if it was covered with dust, and thought that this man was at most a farm official.

He immediately became impolite and said something quite unpleasant.

Xu Zhi's brows sank, and he put the token of the Dianke clan prepared by Chen Ping back into his sleeve.

Tian Dan suddenly got angry and raised his hand to push Xu Zhi.

Sima Xin took a deep breath. The officer beside him also took a few steps forward.

Li Xian knew that he was not a person who would suffer a loss, but she did not try to avoid him. He saw her eyes and let go of Tian Dan's hand.

Tian Dan gave Li Xian a strange look.

Tian Dan kept cursing and yelled tentatively: "He is just a lowly farm official! Even if I killed Sima Xin by mistake, what's the big deal?"

"In the past, King Xuan of Qi announced to the world that those who slandered the court would be rewarded. Those who criticized the court in person would be rewarded. Those who spread the discussion to others would also be rewarded. Don't you learn from this and Qi will be destroyed?"

Tian Dan stared at her intently.

Xu Zhi found that the expressions of the onlookers were unexpectedly consistent.

--fear.

Fear for themselves.

Even as the people of the victorious country, they still dared not speak out in the face of the nobles.

"Qin conquered the six kingdoms, but the substance remained the same."

After hearing what the old woman said just now, Xu Zhi finally understood why those whispers between the lines (People in the world do not think about unification, but yearn for the old country) came from.

Tian Dan doesn't take ordinary people seriously at all.

For example, if she did not refute immediately, Tian Dan would regard it as her usual weakness - common people must bow their heads.

The cold wind blew from deep in the streets of Yongcheng, fluttering Li Xian's wide sleeves.

Time stands still.

Xu Zhi deliberately stripped off her identity and crossed the winding path of power. Only then could she deeply understand what the Qin Dynasty wanted to break - the blockade of the era by princes and nobles.

Tian Dan didn't realize that Li Xian didn't say anything because he and Xu Zhi had reached a consensus. He seemed to be encouraged and went straight to snatch it from Sima Xin.

That damned farm official started talking again.

"You really want to give it to me?"

Li Xian's question was quite meaningful.

"Since it is a government document, it has been passed around in the hands of Lord Sima. Lord Sima has the right to supervise it, so he should compare and verify it."

Sima Xin and Xu Zhi didn't know Li Xian's identity. He was not an ordinary inspector.

Sima Xin, a middle-level official in the secondary capital, knows what it means to be a difficult person!
Li Xian was already a senior minister, and his father was about to become the prime minister. Tian Dan was a nobleman himself.

Sima Xin finally acquiesced that Xu Zhi was an agricultural official.

He was afraid that this grassroots official who stood up to help him would offend others, so just before Li Xian was about to bend over to talk to her, he quickly grabbed her and pulled her to his side.

He kindly reminded: "Little brother, don't say anything more."

Sima Xin did make a big fuss about the silk incident, but he absolutely did not want anyone to suffer misfortune because of it.

He choked up at Tian Dan and Li Xian, bowed and said, "The scroll is a secret of the court, and it should be seen in a quiet room. There are too many people here, so why not go to the posthouse and talk in detail. I ask Lord Li to be a witness to the authenticity of this book."

Xu Zhi also agreed.

"Okay." Li Xian said.

The echo has not yet dissipated in the wind.

Before people dispersed.

There was a sound of horse hooves, and in the distance, a black horse rustled and trotted like a whirlwind, followed closely by another brown horse.

The man who came held the order from Xianyang.

Under the black official uniform is a handsome and familiar face.

Meng Yi saw through her at a glance.

Ying Hehua was in the Qin State, which was equivalent to being under the eyes of Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng didn't even need to touch Li Si's people. He could know what his daughter was doing just by looking up.

Meng Yi recalled the incident many years ago when she and Zhang Liang fell into Guxiakou, and considering that she still had a conscience, he galloped for half a day to Yongcheng.

I never expected to see such a scene.

What is she doing? ! !
Ying Hehua was standing next to Sima Xin. If Meng Yi saw correctly, she was using her eyes to tell him (warn him) not to expose her.

Did she think they had a good relationship, or did she think he was easy to talk to?

Meng Yi saw that Li Xian was very cooperative.

He is definitely not as easy to talk to as Li Xian.

"minister,"

She took a step forward and bowed to him first, "Since Lord Meng is here, I am finally able to hand over the silk case of Master Tian Dan and Lord Sima Xin to you."

Meng Yi froze. Ying Hehua's gift really frightened him.

But how could she pretend to be humble so smoothly?
Meng Yi was overwhelmed.

Meng Yi's arrival made Xu Zhi more certain of a fact: Tian Dan's recent behavior was definitely not a whim. He looked like he had someone backing him up, which made Xu Zhi wonder if someone had taken Tian Dan's money.

But the affairs of Qi were ordered by Ying Zheng himself. Who would dare to accept bribes in Qi openly? Who would have the means and opportunity to do so?
When Chen Ping met Meng Yi and Li Xian shortly afterwards, he was normal at first.

However, he saw Shen Zhi take the initiative to give a look.

Ying Hehua looked at him dimly, still dressed in simple men's clothes.

He was stunned.

When he realized that besides Sima Xin, Ying Hehua was also arguing with Tian Dan! !

Why is she here?

His back was wet.

"Chen Dianqing!" Sima Xin felt as if he was saved, and almost ignored the fact that his nosebleed had not stopped. The scroll that Xu Zhi picked up casually had nothing to do with it. Among the people present, only Chen Ping knew what was in the scroll. How could Sima Xin not be excited? !

Chen Ping said, "It's all a misunderstanding!"

In the Yifang Inn in Yongcheng, the sandalwood eaves had turned white due to frost.

No one can see through the thoughts of these four people.

Xu Zhi stared at Meng Yi and told him to stop talking nonsense.

Seeing that Li Xian was very cooperative, Meng Yi suddenly realized that she was also tossing Li Xian over and over again, so he glared at her mercilessly.

He picked her up and took her to a place where no one could see her, just like the way they did when they were little.

Xu Zhi really wanted to curse loudly.

"Lord Meng?" Li Xian called him in time.

Xu Zhi suddenly pulled his sleeve back from Meng Yi's hand, but Chen Ping behind Li Xian looked very unnatural, and his expression became more and more weird.

"Sir." She raised her chin slightly to signal Li Xian.

Arrived at Meng Yi's side.

But Ying Hehua refused to admit that she was just fooling around in Yongcheng. She stared at him and said:

"Even if the emperor wants you to come, you should know that you didn't come to Yongcheng for nothing. You don't see how arrogant Tian Dan is. The most urgent task is to put an end to his arrogance."

Meng Yi said nothing.

"Lord Meng?" Xu Zhi called him.

Meng Yi opened his mouth. He really wanted to explain Ying Zheng's intention to her.

The words came to his lips. Apart from Ying Hehua, he had never seen any of Ying Zheng's daughters who was more domineering than her.

The good impression he had finally gained from Dun Ruo disappeared completely.

Seeing that he was staring at her without saying anything, she asked, "You are not so idle that you want to monitor my every move in Yongcheng?"

"Could it be that Li Xian has nothing to do?"

Xu Zhi was even more unhappy when she thought about how Li Xian prevented her from missing the conversation with Xu Fu about the Qinian Palace.

"I don't bother to worry whether he's idle or not."

Meng Yi shook his head and said, "Li Xian has been ordered to supervise the affairs of Zheng State. Your Highness, please do not interfere with his official duties."

? "You said I was interfering with his official duties?" In the previous life, we were enemies, but in this life, we felt sympathy for each other? "You really are..."

She swallowed the rest of her words and said, "I just want to find willow branches and roses for the Royal Grandmother. I can't do anything else."

"I am ignorant. So Your Highness Princess needs to put on makeup to find these things?"

Xu Zhi was stunned. Why didn't she realize before that Meng Yi could also be so irritating when he spoke?

Yes, Li Xian said that in his previous life, because of Meng Tian, ​​the two of them openly ridiculed each other in the court for several years.

If Li Xian is a fox spirit, then Meng Yi is a black dog monster who is just as unreasonable.

"I don't understand. The princess's attire is not very sophisticated. Why does she want to hide her identity?"

Xu Zhi couldn't say that she and Li Xian had discovered Xu Fu's whereabouts. Naturally, she couldn't talk about what happened to Sima Xin later.

"The only people who recognized me were those who knew me well. Lord Meng, don't worry. Everyone is so smart."

Xu Zhi spoke in a gloomy tone, "Lord Meng, I don't care why you are here. Since you are here, in addition to your father's orders, you have to play a role in handling Tian Dan's matter."

Meng Yi refused to cooperate with Xu Zhi, but after hearing what she said, he was half-believing and half-doubting, and reluctantly agreed to help her find the fraudulent doctor.

When Xu Zhi arrived at the posthouse, Tian Dan and Sima Xin were no longer there.

Silver charcoal was burning in the room, the heat was rising, and the wind outside the window hit the window twice.

The files were placed neatly on the desk.

A person was kneeling on the jacquard palindrome blanket.

Li Xian's eyes fell on Chen Ping's face, so cold that Chen Ping held his breath. Although he explained the whole story clearly, he still felt guilty, so he quickly buried his head back.

When Ah Zhi closed the window, he didn't close it completely. The winter wind blew outside, bringing in a lot of wind.

What Chen Ping had done himself would not be difficult to deal with, but if no one protected him, it would end in a dead end.

She walked over and said, "You scared Yuan-jun."

Chen Ping had never felt so grateful. When he was on a diplomatic mission to Qi, he spent countless money on winning over the nobles of Qi. Then he asked them to "bribe" the money back.

Money matters are also a matter of national importance. He took such a risky move because he relied on his superiors' trust in him. Because the royal family and court officials needed a period of silence, he did not have time to explain it to Ying Hehua. Once something went wrong, he would most likely be the one to take the blame, and in the end he would be unable to defend himself and would only have one way to go, death.

Chen Ping almost sighed. Ying Hehua knew him well enough. From the moment she called him by his courtesy name, he knew that she had given him absolute trust.

She also knew that he was always cautious and was absolutely bold in doing things, but when it came to his life, he was really timid.

Seeing that he was shaking non-stop, Xu Zhi prepared to help Chen Ping.

Li Xian held her outstretched hand. "Don't move." "Even if it's just a show for others to see, you have to do it well."

Xu Zhi really didn't understand what was going on.

However, Chen Ping and Li Xian both knew what was going on.

Xu Zhi looked at the slanted window.

She suddenly understood, "Tian Dan?"

Li Xian asked, "Princess, didn't you notice that Prince Dan has been staring at you?"

Xu Zhi didn't react at all: "It's okay for him to just stare at me, but he was so arrogant, if there wasn't someone beside him, I'm afraid he would have taken action long ago."

Times have changed, but she remains innocent.

Li Xian smiled and said, "Princess, do you think that Master Dan didn't recognize you as a woman?"

"That's impossible. I've messed myself up like this." Xu Zhi raised the back of his hand to wipe it.

He lowered his head and calmly rubbed away some of the black dust on her face with his fingertips. "Tian Dan is a playboy and a dissolute man. Princess thinks he is in her eyes. Why should I stop him?" As he spoke, his hand had already gone behind her ear and gently pulled down her hairband, causing her hair to fall behind her head like a waterfall.

"According to you?"

"It depends on whether the princess's acting skills are good." He said in her ear.

As the green lamp flickered, Xu Zhi said nothing.

Li Xian put his arms around the back of her neck.

She knew he wouldn't do anything, but her thoughts froze for a moment and she pushed him subconsciously.

Li Xian didn't feel anything serious at first, but the force on his shoulder made him feel like he was in an abyss.

He no longer expected her to love him. But till now, she had never treated him with the same favor as she did to Meng Yi, and she did not even trust him as much as she did to Chen Ping.

"Azhi, you should believe me. It's good to give it a try." He called her name, as if by doing so, he could feel that his heart was closer to hers.

Xu Zhi didn't know what he was thinking. It was just that his dark eyes were so dark that one couldn't see deep into them. He really got nervous at night. It had only been less than a month since he ran to her bedside in the middle of the night to ask about Dun Ruo.

Suddenly, a staccato voice drowned her words in her throat.

"...Um, I, your humble servant, will leave now."

Chen Ping just raised his head, but immediately buried it again.

Chen Ping runs really fast.

After all, he is the number one person who likes to ruin the atmosphere, and he is even more professional when it comes to Li Xian.

It was a cold night, because Chen Ping knew that the man standing in the snow outside the window was not the fool Tian Dan, but Zhang Liang on the stage.
