Hearing Zhao Qingrui's words, Ying Zheng was very satisfied and praised: "She is indeed my favorite daughter. She is so thoughtful."
She has become accustomed to her father's praise. She feels that no matter what she does, her father will praise her.
Her father favored her too much, and she felt a lot of pressure at first, but fortunately she has gotten used to it now.
Zhao Qingrui was used to it, but others were not used to it at all.
Especially Fusu, my father has always been very strict with him and rarely praises him.
Seeing his father praising his younger sister so much, he felt a little envious.
Fortunately, he is not a child anymore. His younger sister is only a few years older than Ziying, so there is no need for him to be jealous of her.
-----------------
After taking the book from Zhao Qingrui and reading it for two days, Ying Zheng finished reading The Investiture of the Gods.
"Go and call Qingrui over. I have something to ask her." Ying Zheng leaned back on the couch, his surging emotions gradually calming down.
Seeing Zhao Gao coming to find her, Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised at all.
After reading these books, Dad is definitely going to cause trouble again.
When I arrived at Wangyi Palace, I saw my father holding a book and looking at the scenery outside.
"Father, have you finished reading the book?" Zhao Qingrui walked over, sat next to him, took the tea from Zhao Gao and brought it to him.
"Well, after reading it, I have a lot of feelings." Ying Zheng said with emotion.
"It's just a storybook." Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched.
"Is this book given to you by your master?" Ying Zheng turned sideways and looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"Yes, it helps me kill time when I'm bored." Zhao Qingrui had an expression that said, "As expected." His father wouldn't give up.
"Are the immortals' magic skills in the book true? Are there really gods?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui expectantly.
"Father, those are all made up by others. The physical training method I gave you is also the most advanced method of cultivation. Even if it can't make you immortal, it should be able to let you live a few hundred more years." Zhao Qingrui said helplessly.
"Is there really no immortal? What's going on with your master?" There was no one in the palace at this time, even Zhao Gao had retreated. Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui with burning eyes.
"He's probably someone with profound cultivation." She rubbed her brows. She regretted making up this master because she had to make up a bunch of excuses every time.
"Is that so?" Ying Zheng said dejectedly.
How great it would be if there really was a deification system. He believed that his abilities would be better than anyone else’s.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Those are just people's fantasies." Zhao Qingrui massaged his shoulders and dispelled his unrealistic fantasies.
"Just treat this as a story. Don't take any of this seriously." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Do I need you to teach me?" Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at her. She must have learned bad things from Fusu.
"Yes, yes, you don't need me to teach you. I don't know who built so many palaces and temples and went out to sea to search for immortals?" Zhao Qingrui curled his lips. His father was just stubborn.
Zhao Qingrui's words immediately made Ying Zheng's face darken. If she wasn't his most beloved daughter, he would definitely punish her severely.
However, he is now unable to speak in front of his daughter, as she is controlling him very strictly.
"I was deceived." Ying Zheng said with a dark face.
"Okay, I get it, Father, don't be angry."
"I am not a child. There is no need to use the same tricks on me as you use to coax Ziying." He glanced at her. Only she dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
"This story is quite interesting." Ying Zheng's eyes fell on the book again, and he could not hide the regret in his heart.
"I heard that there are many bamboo slips from the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty preserved in the Golden Casket Stone Chamber." Zhao Qingrui said softly. The Golden Casket Stone Chamber is where ancient books are stored. When the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, the ancient books here were collected from various countries.
She went there and looked around. There were a lot of books, most of which she had never read before. However, these books were too tiring to read, so she still preferred novels written in vernacular Chinese.
"Yes, it just so happens that you have finished handling the government affairs today. Today I will continue to teach you how to be a king. Let me start with King Zhou of Shang and the reasons for his failure." Ying Zheng sat up straight.
Zhao Qingrui sat obediently next to Ying Zheng and listened attentively.
From the collection of books in Daqin, she also learned a lot about the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty. Most of the records about King Zhou, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, came from "Shangshu.Mushi".
In fact, the recorded King Zhou of Shang was a monarch with great talent and strategy.
However, regarding the crimes of King Zhou of Shang, six of them were recorded in the Book of Documents, and twenty more were added during the Warring States Period.
As a person from later generations, she knew that twenty-one items were added in the Western Han Dynasty and thirteen items were added in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The evil deeds of Zhou that have been passed down to us actually developed layer by layer. The closer the time, the more crimes Zhou committed, and the less credible they are.
"Emperor Xin would fail, first of all because the people he promoted were unfamiliar with the laws and regulations of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, they came from humble backgrounds and lacked political experience. They followed Emperor Xin's orders blindly, which destroyed the stability within the court. His practice of excluding hereditary officials and powerful families also led to the alienation of the Shang Dynasty's gentry. The disintegration of the gentry groups accelerated the demise of the Shang Dynasty." Ying Zheng spoke slowly.
Zhao Qingrui listened carefully and felt that his father saw it very clearly. It was nothing more than that Emperor Xin's various actions damaged the interests of the nobles.
"He changed the personnel system, tightened external control, and appointed three people, including Xibo Chang, as the Three Dukes, to control the court, but he didn't realize he was not good at judging people."
"He promoted legal reforms, opposed theocracy, and weakened the nobility."
"Isn't it good that he did this? In my opinion, he is a wise and capable king just like my father." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
"Oh, compared with me? Can the army of Shang compare with the elite soldiers of my Great Qin? In terms of civil and military affairs, how can he compare with me? I have unified the six kingdoms, and made the writing system and the wheel gauge standard. Everyone inside and outside the country is in awe of me." Ying Zheng felt that his daughter had bad eyesight. She actually compared him to King Zhou of Shang. He raised his head proudly. He felt that he was a thousand times stronger than King Zhou of Shang.
"Indeed, he doesn't know how to judge people. In this respect, he is far worse than my father. My father has enough means to intimidate everyone, and no one dares to betray him." Zhao Qingrui agreed with this point. As long as his father is alive, he will be the sky of the Qin Dynasty.
Even if Zhang Liang wanted to assassinate him before, he could only do it secretly and never succeeded.
As for civil administration, my father has made many contributions. Although he has been a little confused in recent years, his merits outweigh his flaws. Now that I am here, he has no chance to continue to commit suicide.
"As for Ji Chang, he is a child who lives by eating his own children. He is not worthy of being a father." He did not hide his contempt for Ji Chang.
"Father, this is just a rumor. Don't take it seriously." Zhao Qingrui was speechless. Did the Investiture of the Gods have a profound impact on his father? Ninety-nine percent of this book is fake.
