The former chancellor of Qin and regent during Ying Zheng's early years. He was dismissed after being implicated with Lao Ai. He is mentioned as part of the political figures the king removed to consolidate power. His fall marked the end of the powerful merchant-chancellor era. He is not active in this story but represents the former authority that Ying Zheng surpassed. His absence leaves the court ready for the king’s direct control.
