As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Li was slightly taken aback. Looking at the daughter before him, he suddenly felt a strange feeling he had never experienced before.

Although he knew she was a gifted child from a young age, the insight and wisdom she expressed today far exceeded his expectations.

It seems that beneath her daughter's ordinary appearance, she had already been secretly preparing for a long time?

But soon, Zhang Li's heart felt at ease. It wasn't that her daughter was overly intelligent, but rather that she herself had been bound. Now, after her daughter's words, she truly felt as if a cloud had parted, revealing the sun.

He immediately replied, "Send a letter?"

Zhang Zisheng nodded, her face gradually becoming serious.

"That is

There are some things I've never told you, Dad. Today, I should tell you.

Seeing his daughter's unusually serious expression, Zhang Li's heart clenched. He glanced out the door, "This isn't a place to talk, follow me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Zisheng said:

This is the place to speak, it's safe, no one is watching.

The one being watched, is not here.

Zhang Li's eyes widened as she looked at her daughter's serene face, a wave of astonishment washing over her.

He found he could see less and less through her.

"What do you mean, Zi Sheng? What exactly have you done behind the scenes?" Zhang Li's face was full of confusion.

To know that the daughter had always stayed in the capital, rarely leaving her home. She spent her days reading and practicing calligraphy. Only occasionally would she go out with her maidservant for a stroll, usually visiting only the bustling markets.

She rarely went to admire flowers and the moon with those noble daughters, and she hadn't chatted about everyday life with her for a long time. But today...

Zhang Zisheng's face was calm, and she spoke slowly:

Over the past two years, nearly all officials in the court have been under surveillance, and our family is no exception.

"These things... were told to me by my second older brother."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li's face was filled with astonishment. He hurriedly said, "He... he hasn't returned for many years. Could it be that he was in the capital all along? And only just went to Xijing now?"

How could he possibly know about these things?

Zhang Zisheng withdrew his gaze from the tablet, pondered for a long while before saying:

"Erge, you've done a lot of things these past few years.

He traveled throughout the country, secretly gathering many ambitious individuals. Over the past few years, he has uncovered a great deal of information.

"Back then, when Big Brother died in the Battle of Huichang, it was because of Jin Jianren's plan. Otherwise, Big Brother wouldn't have died there."

In addition, to monitor the court officials, King Qing established the Qianji Camp. They were responsible for surveillance and assassination. If any official harbored ill intentions towards Jin Fengluan, they would meet with misfortune. Their methods were endless, all aimed at ensuring his position remained solid and unshakeable.

As soon as these words left his mouth, Zhang Li's eyes narrowed. A shiver ran down her spine, and goosebumps erupted all over her body.

A jumble of emotions welled up within him, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Of course, the most prevalent emotion is still anger.

Originally, the eldest son was not killed because he was arrogant and underestimated his opponent, but because he was murdered by the son of King Qing!

Thinking of this, Zhang Li gritted his teeth, and the surging anger was almost about to burst out.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Why! Why didn't you say it earlier! To hide it from me until today?"

Zhang Zisheng's lips curled into a slight smile, and she said faintly:

"What's the point of telling Father?"

"Since you are loyal to Jin Fengluan and also speak your mind openly, if you were to accuse Jin Jianren directly in court, who do you think she would favor?"

By then, it's possible that Jin Jianren will be fine, and you might end up getting so angry that you bang your head against a wall.

This kind of thing has happened throughout history. When officials get angry, they sometimes commit suicide to make a statement, but most of the time it's in vain and doesn't bring about much change.

The words struck Zhang Li's heart. His face turned pale, and he was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Zisheng continued, "Father, although you hold a high position, at best you are just a scholar. How much power do you really have? Even with countless disciples under your command, it would still be as difficult to shake the Jin family as climbing to heaven."

To fundamentally change the Great Qian, this is simply not enough.

Even if we could harness the people's support, it wouldn't be enough. The common people are dull and simple. Even if they were momentarily swayed by emotion and lost their reason, once time passed, they would revert to reality.

To see the sun shine through the clouds and bring back the bright blue sky, besides winning the hearts of the people, one still needs a strong military force.

In other words, they support whoever wins.

After a few words, Zhang Li looked up at her daughter. Seeing that her expression was calm, she seemed to be talking about an insignificant matter.

But unbeknownst to him, these words had already stirred a storm in Zhang Li's heart.

Isn't this daughter's statement exactly the way to rule the world?

If she were a man, then in the future...

Zhang Li's face was full of surprise, he opened his mouth and said:

"Isn't Qin Ze now in possession of that powerful military force?"

Zhang Zisheng nodded slightly, "Indeed, he is now a sharp blade, gleaming with its edge."

"Judging from what Qin Ze did after entering Beiliang, he had already decided to rebel and overthrow Jinfengluan."

Although I don't know why Qin Ze has such a powerful army, even without it, over time, he would have complete control of Beiliang and could still launch a rebellion against the Jin family.

But I don't know how many troops he has at his disposal now. But to overthrow Jinfeng Luan, just having troops wouldn't be enough.

Only with force, relying solely on killing, will the people only feel fear and dread. Under this kind of pressure stemming from "fear", sooner or later, the world will descend into chaos again.

To have a long-lasting and unified Great Qin, both military might and the support of the people are indispensable.

"So he launched a campaign to purge the court, gaining popular support under the guise of it?" Zhang Li said in a low voice.

Zhang Zisheng nodded. "Yes, clearing the corrupt officials is indeed a good tactic. It allows us to counterattack the capital and align with the popular will. After all, the people always prefer to see those in high positions who are idle and uncaring brought down."

Speaking of which, Zhang Zisheng's mouth twitched slightly, and she continued: "I even think that in the hearts of ordinary people, they might even want Qin Ze to kill more officials."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Li's eyes flickered, and she inexplicably felt a chill.

Human hearts are truly too complex.

And his daughter's thoughts and feelings were quite beyond his expectations.

At that moment, he felt his daughter's gaze upon him. He raised his eyes and saw his daughter speak:

Besides, the reason why Jin Feng Luan Lei's rapid attack to kill Huang Long is not merely because of Qin Ze's involvement

In all my readings of history, I have never seen a ruler who executed his ministers so quickly, without much ceremony. This is truly unusual.

“Previously, Father told me that Huang Tianhu was sent to Beiliang by the Jin Fengluan faction. I recalled hearing that several sons of the Huang family had also been sent to various places before. It seems she must have already planned to target the Huang family.”

Qin Ze's Qingjun Ce doesn't seem to be very effective.

Zhang Li frowned, and followed with a voice, "This… makes sense. If he enters the capital again, it would truly be treason. I presume His Majesty… The Golden Wind Phoenix Proclamation will rally the people of the land, perhaps even conscript more into the army to launch a purge against Qin Ze?"

"In this way, I fear that countless people in the world will suffer as a result. Alas!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Zisheng pursed her lips and calmly said:

So, you need to send a letter to Qin Ze on his behalf.

For the Great Qin, and for the people… so that he can single-handedly topple the Jin family
