Chapter 6
【One of the causes of the fall of the Qin Dynasty was that the second generation of Qin was cruel and mediocre, extravagant, favored traitors and persecuted loyal ministers, which led to turmoil in the government and the public, and the people were in dire straits. Eventually, the vigorous Peasant Uprising in the late Qin Dynasty broke out.】
【In the end, the powerful empire of the Qin Dynasty collapsed amid the flames of war all over the world, and the second generation died. 】
Da Qin.
Ying Zheng's face, which originally had a smile on his face, suddenly changed after seeing Qin II's mediocrity and the death of Qin II.
Ying Zheng's face instantly turned livid, his chest boiling with anger, like an erupting volcano, and he roared:
"How could my Great Qin die in two generations? ?"
"No, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!!"
"I have wiped out the six kingdoms, defeated the Xiongnu, and occupied South Vietnam. Who else in the world can be the opponent of Great Qin?"
"How could the Qin Dynasty be so powerful that it could die in two generations? There are millions of warriors in the Qin Dynasty. Who in the world can destroy the Qin Dynasty?"
"who? Who was it that destroyed Great Qin? I want to kill him, kill him!!!"
Ying Zheng was as if he was going crazy. He couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe that the empire he had worked so hard to build only lasted until his second life, and then came to an abrupt end.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
The civil and military officials had never seen Ying Zheng lose his temper before. They were so frightened that they all knelt down and begged Ying Zheng to calm down.
"Calm down? How do you ask me to calm down? ? Da Qin is about to die!!!"
Ying Zheng's face was ferocious, and his eyes were about to burst. At this moment, he could only feel the blood surging in his chest.
Zhao Gao was beside Ying Zheng, looking at the furious Ying Zheng, but he was inexplicably excited.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was already so angry. Having lost his mind, Zhao Gao saw the right moment and spoke cautiously:
"On the basis of light and shadow, it is said that the second son of Qin is mediocre and unprincipled. Could it be that Mr. Fusu..."
Zhao Gao's words were to the point. Although he didn't say everything, everyone could hear what Zhao Gao meant!
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold and he said word by word:
"Fusu?!"
"I didn’t expect you to have such a luxurious and debauched side!! I really misjudged you!"
"Someone, bring Fusu back to me immediately!!"
Everyone knows that Fusu, as the eldest son, has always been valued by Ying Zheng. Even though he is now demoted to Northern Xinjiang, he is still the first heir of the Qin Dynasty.
It is precisely because of this that when the law of heaven revealed that Qin II , everyone will think that this must be the young master Fusu.
Zhao Gao was overjoyed when he saw Fusu being angered by Ying Zheng. If Fusu was deposed, the person most likely to succeed Fusu would naturally be Hu Hai.
At this time , but Feng Quji said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, Mr. Fusu can never be a stupid and unprincipled person. There must be a misunderstanding in this. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
"Misunderstand? What misunderstanding could there be?"
The murderous intent in Ying Zheng's eyes almost overflowed. Fusu is the second emperor of Qin. This is an ironclad fact.
Although Ying Zheng feels that Fusu's character is a bit weak, as a loyal king, he can still stabilize the Qin Dynasty. Pass it on.
But now, Ying Zheng found that he had misjudged Fusu. He was simply a tyrant who was lustful, cruel and murderous. How could such a person inherit the foundation of Qin?
"I have high hopes for Fusu, but he has ruined the inheritance of our ancestors. How can I spare him?"
"But Your Majesty, Mr. Fusu, Ren..."
Feng Quji wanted to persuade him again, but Ying Zheng stopped him:
"Shut up, and if you dare to intercede for Fusu again, you will be guilty of the same crime as Fusu!"
The First Emperor's will cannot be rejected. Even Feng Quji, the Prime Minister on the right, did not dare to disobey Ying Zheng.
Seeing that the First Emperor's imperial edict was about to be issued, even the imperial soldiers were ready to go. At this moment, The subtitles began to scroll again.
The next scene shocked the monarchs and ministers of Qin State....
【In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, the 20-year-old Ying Zheng's youngest son Hu Hai ascended the throne as Qin II, becoming the second generation emperor of Qin.】
【Hu Hai was cruel by nature, arrogant and lewd. He only cared about his own enjoyment and showed no concern for the people. He exhausted all the people's resources for his own enjoyment.】
【Because Hu Hai was not in the right position, before he ascended the throne, he ordered to kill the young master Fusu, and the generals Meng Yi and Meng Tian destroyed the Great Wall.】
【After killing Fusu, Hu Hai was afraid that his brothers and sisters would pose a threat to his throne, so he raised the butcher knife against his ten brothers and twelve sisters.】
【The princes and grandsons of the First Emperor were executed in the streets of Xianyang by Hu Hai, and no one even dared to collect the corpses.】
【After killing his brothers and sisters who were threats to him, Hu Hai launched a large-scale purge in the court. Most of the auxiliary ministers left by the First Emperor Ying Zheng were purged.】
【Among them, the right prime minister Feng Quji and his son General Feng Jie were killed by Hu Hai, and a glass of poisonous wine left their bodies intact.】
【Li Si, the prime minister of the left, was beheaded in the city by Hu Hai, and all three Li Si clans were slaughtered by Hu Hai.】
【In addition to these two, countless other loyal ministers and generals were killed by Hu Hai. Almost all the talents that Ying Zheng relied on to maintain the rule of the empire were killed by Hu Hai.】
【Hu Hai implemented a policy of massacre in the court. Those who obeyed prospered and those who rebelled perished.】
【After Hu Hai ascended the throne, Zhao Gao was named Lang Zhongling, and later had Li Si killed and was promoted to Prime Minister, taking charge of the government.】
【Due to Hu Hai's debauchery and ignorance of government affairs, the court was gradually controlled by Zhao Gao. Until later, Zhao Gao had power in the court and his party members were all over the court, completely controlling the Qin Dynasty.】
【But Hu Hai didn't take it seriously and was still immersed in the world of pleasure and went his own way.】
【In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Hu Hai recruited millions of people to build Afang Palace. The scale of Afang Palace far exceeded that of Xianyang Palace. The heavy corvee burden made the people overwhelmed.】
【In addition, in order to build the mausoleum for the First Emperor, Hu Hai recruited another 700,000 civilians and ordered Zhang Han, the Shaofu Order, to supervise the construction. It took more than a year to build the mausoleum, and it was finally completed.】
【Later, in order to strengthen the defense of Xianyang, Hu Hai recruited 50,000 soldiers to guard and asked various places to provide grain and grass to Xianyang. He also stipulated that those who escorted grain and grass were prohibited from using grain within three hundred miles of Xianyang.】
【These civilians can only bring their own food. In addition to year-round labor, the tax burden of people across the country is also increasing day by day.】
【Hu Hai's debauchery and immorality caused the world to boil, the people were in dire straits, and the people were filled with resentment. The entire Qin Dynasty was like sitting on a volcano, and could be annihilated by the people's anger at any time.】...
When the content above the light and shadow appeared in front of Ying Zheng and Da Qin Wenwu, everyone was blinded. Everyone stared in the air with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Hu Hai? Why is the second emperor of Qin Hu Hai?"
Just when Ying Zheng had not calmed down, Zhao Gao on the side was already shouting in panic.
He originally thought that he could take the opportunity to add insult to injury and completely kick the young master Fusu out of the position of crown prince and support Hu Hai. He ascended the throne.
He was almost done, but Zhao Gao never thought that the second Qin II who was counted by Heaven was actually Hu Hai.
Seeing Hu Hai above the light and shadow, doing the opposite, Zhao Gao knew that Hu Hai was definitely dead.
And he himself....
Zhao Gao couldn't help but shudder when he thought of how he was referring to a deer as a horse, and then a shocking explosion made his hair stand on end.
"Hu!! Hai!!! Zhao!! high!!!"
The sound of Ying Zheng gnashing his teeth exploded in front of Xianyang Palace. Just from the sound, you can tell that Ying Zheng is already full of murderous intent and furious.
"Your Majesty, I was wronged and I would never do such a treasonous thing!! Please give your Majesty a clear warning!!"
Zhao Gao was brought back to reality by Ying Zheng's voice, and immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and kept begging Ying Zheng for mercy.
