Ah!
Han Meng's big eyes blinked, and she was quite surprised by this sudden invitation. She looked at the Great Qin Empress Dowager and was so nervous that she could not speak.
Ever since she was young, she had dreamed of studying in Great Qin and was obsessed with Great Qin's culture and history. She knew very well how important the Empress Dowager was in Great Qin.
During the European War, when Qin Island was bombed by the Western Alliance Army, Li Ying, who was still the Empress, spent months in the hospital rescuing the injured. Even though she was so tired that she fainted many times, she still did not go back to rest. After the war, she encouraged the nobles and military officials to be thrifty and be strict with extravagance. She took the lead in selling personal items to raise funds and set up a foundation to help the families of the soldiers and civilians who died.
During the three years of the plague, Li Ying ignored the risk of infection and brought the young Emperor Hongwu, Qin Zhen, to inspect the disaster. This greatly stabilized the people's hearts and helped Great Qin survive this unprecedented crisis.
In 1929, Emperor Longchang, who had only one wife, Li Ying, passed away. Qin Zhen, the 38th Emperor of Qin, succeeded the throne at the age of 18. As the Empress Dowager, Li Ying did not participate in the state affairs. She took the initiative to live in seclusion at the foot of Mount Li. She did not ask about political affairs and did not meet officials. She was at ease to guard the coffin of Emperor Longchang, who had loved her for a lifetime.
How could the people of Qin not respect such an empress dowager?
When the empress dowager said " I like you very much," the hidden meaning was unimaginable. Han Meng was at a loss. She subconsciously looked at Song Meiling, her eyes full of help.
Song Meiling was a shrewd person. She instantly understood what Li Ying meant and was ecstatic.
The marriage was decided at the last minute when Chang Kaishen came back to change his clothes at noon.
After stepping into Great Qin's territory, understanding Great Qin and seeing how powerful Great Qin was, he decided to form a strategic partnership with Great Qin and the Milky Way Trading Company. Thus, a marriage alliance was necessary.
This was especially so for Qin Zhen, who was an Emperor with absolute authority. He was only 20 years old, and he could control the entire situation. As long as there were no accidents, Great Qin's political situation would be extremely stable for the next 50 years.
By marrying Great Qin, not only would he be able to secure his ruling position, but he would also receive many benefits. It was of great political significance!
Because it was a last-minute decision, Han Meng, who was kept in the dark, didn't know about it. Song Meiling decided to act first and then explain and persuade him later.
"Xiao Meng, why are you looking at me? Quickly thank the Empress Dowager! In the future, he would study alone in Xianyang. If he had nothing to do, he would come and accompany the Empress Dowager.”
Oh oh oh.
Han Meng was simple-minded. She thought that her aunt was worried that she would be alone in a foreign country, so she brought her here to meet the Empress Dowager.
"Empress Dowager Xie, I will often visit you!”
"You little girl, what era is it now?”
Li Ying smiled and said,"There is no distinction between high and low in the Great Qin Empire, so there is no need to call yourself a commoner."”
"Xiao Meng, you can get into Xianyang Imperial University even when you're planting flowers. You must be very knowledgeable, right?”
Speaking of knowledge, Han Meng felt more confident.
How strict were the admission standards of Xianyang Imperial University? Other than the Qin people who could pass the normal college entrance examination to enter this university, foreigners who wanted to enter the university must have extraordinary talent. They had to go through a written application and go through layers of review before they had a chance to be admitted.
"Empress Dowager, I study ancient characters and am very interested in ancient history. I have deciphered oracle bone inscriptions, Zhong Ding Wen, Da Zhuan, Shi Gu Wen, Xiao Zhuan, and compiled and published the general history of the pre-Qin period.”
That powerful?
Hearing this, even if Li Ying didn't understand, she knew how knowledgeable and talented this 18-year-old girl was.
She was beautiful and versatile. The more Li Ying looked at her, the more she liked her!
"Xiaomeng, there are many ancient books and documents in the royal library, as well as bronzes from the Shang, Zhou, Spring, Autumn, and Warring States periods. You should be interested. Come to the palace tomorrow morning and I'll take you to see them.”
Alright, alright!
Han Meng nodded like a chick pecking at rice. If it weren't for her politeness, she would have jumped up and danced.
The Great Qin Imperial Family's library was built inside Mount Li and was heavily guarded by officials.
Because the previous emperors loved to collect ancient books, it was said that there were tens of millions of ancient books and precious cultural relics. Even during the war, many of the cultural relics plundered by the western powers from the Miqing Kingdom were bought back by the Great Qin Royal Navy at a low price at the Malacca Strait. They were only allowed to take gold, silver, and jewelry.
"Hey, Mrs. Larsson, you're really here! I told you Madam Song must have come to visit the Empress Dowager.”
Li Ying, Song Meiling, and Han Meng turned to see Qin Zhen and Chang Kaishen walking into the courtyard side by side.
Song Meiling and Han Meng quickly stood up and bowed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Madam Song, there's no need to be so polite. This is?”
Qin Zhen looked at Han Meng and found her familiar.
Without waiting for Song Meiling's introduction, Qin Zhen suddenly remembered.
"Are you Han Meng, the female writer who wrote the general history of the Pre-Qin Dynasty?”
Han Meng raised her head and looked at the tall and handsome Qin Zhen with a warm smile. She asked in surprise,""Your Majesty knows me?"
"Of course I do. Your Pre-Qin History is very well written and has already been recorded in the Great Qin Empire's library.”
"It's my honor, my honor!"
After getting Qin Zhen's approval, Han Meng's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She was very cute.
However, the next second, Qin Zhen's words made her calm down instantly.
"Han Meng, in the First Emperor Chapter, you wrote that if the First Emperor destroyed the six countries and used the Confucians to rule the country, when Fusu succeeded to the throne, perhaps Great Qin would not be destroyed!”
"May I ask, how did you determine that the Confucians could save the nation?”
Han Meng was very surprised when she met Qin Zhen's starry eyes. She could feel Qin Zhen's disdain and even disgust for Confucianism.
From ancient times until now, even though Great Qin was influenced by the West and had a different culture and ideology from planting flowers, it still respected Confucianism very much. Why did Qin Zhen hate it?
"Your Majesty, I believe that the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty respected the law, and Fusu respected Confucianism. After the chaos, there would be great governance. Fusu ascended the throne to rectify the people's livelihood, and the criminal law would not be too harsh. The Wang and Meng families and the Great Wall would be enough to resist the Xiongnu.”
