An inventory of the sinners who have subjugated the country in the past dynasties, Lao Zhu’s number

【Zhao Gao spent the first half of his life as humble as dust. Even after he became Hu Hai's master, he was just a small official in charge of the emperor's carriage, equivalent to Ying Zheng's groom.】

【It's just such a small position, but it became the key to his great comeback in the future and gradually ascended to the pinnacle of power.】

【In the thirty-seventh year of King Qin's reign, Ying Zheng made his fifth eastward tour. Before this eastward tour, Zhao Gao suggested to Ying Zheng that he take his youngest son Hu Hai with him.】

【On previous trips, Ying Zheng had never brought any sons with him, but this time Ying Zheng brought Hu Hai with him for the first time. This also laid the groundwork for the future tragedy of the Great Qin Empire.】

【On this tour, Ying Zheng first went to Jiuyi Mountain to worship Shun, then turned to the Qiantang River to watch the tide, and then went south to Kuaiji Mountain to worship Yu the Great.】

【Until he faced the sea in the east, Ying Zheng was impressed by the sea and ordered his people to carve his great achievements on the big rocks by the sea.】

【At this time, Ying Zheng began to return. He went north to Langya, Shandong, and then turned back west. However, when he arrived at Pingyuanjin, Ying Zheng suddenly fell ill.】

【The disease came so suddenly and progressed very quickly. Even if the imperial doctors around him tried their best, they could not cure Ying Zheng's condition.】

【Ying Zheng hired an alchemist to perform divination, hoping to rely on the alchemist's power to cure his illnesses.】

【It was this move that set Da Qin on a path of no return.】

【After the divination, the alchemist told Ying Zheng that he was haunted by mountain ghosts and needed to be exterminated before he could recover.】

【Therefore, Ying Zheng sent his trusted general Meng Yi to quickly go south and return to Kuaiji Mountain to pray for his own safety.】

【Meng Yi did not hesitate and hurriedly led his guards south. However, since he left, Ying Zheng's health has been deteriorating day by day.】

【When Ying Zheng's motorcade arrived at the sand dunes, Qin Shihuang had a premonition that his life was coming to an end. He immediately issued an imperial edict asking Fusu to return to Xianyang immediately to preside over his funeral and inherit the throne.】

【Ying Zheng saw with his own eyes that Zhao Gao put the seal on the imperial edict before falling asleep again. He thought that Zhao Gao would send out the imperial edict, but Ying Zheng mistook the eunuch next to him.】

【Zhao Gao did not issue the imperial edict as scheduled, but suppressed it all secretly, because at this moment, Zhao Gao already had other ideas in his mind】

【As the official of CRRC, Zhao Gao usually has no access to the Jade Seal. But now that Ying Zheng is seriously ill and Meng Yi is far away in Kuaiji Mountain, he has the opportunity to take charge of the Jade Seal temporarily.】

【In addition, Zhao Gao also holds the Tiger Talisman in his hand. These things were originally controlled by Meng Yi, but now they all fall into Zhao Gao's hands.】

【Now he is standing at the crossroads of destiny. If he sends out the imperial edict and helps Su ascend to the throne, he will definitely get close to the two brothers Meng Yi and Meng Tian. However, Zhao Gao has completely lost his favor and become an ordinary little eunuch.】

【But he has another choice, which is to kill Fusu and support Hu Hai to ascend to the throne. He is Hu Hai's master. If Hu Hai becomes the emperor, Zhao Gao will definitely be able to flourish.】

【More importantly, Hu Hai is a dim-witted person and he can control him at will.】

【That night, Qin Shihuang died in the sand dunes. Zhao Gao held the jade seal and the tiger talisman. After careful consideration, Zhao Gao decided to take a gamble.】

【Zhao Gao concealed the death of Qin Shihuang, then secretly found Hu Hai, and easily convinced Hu Hai, because he told Hu Hai that as long as he became the emperor, he could enjoy whatever he wanted】

【However, if he wants to push Hu Hai to the throne, Zhao Gao alone is not enough. He also needs to win over an ally, and this ally is Li Si.】

【Zhao Gao found Li Si and wanted Li Si to help Hu Hai rise to power, but Li Si flatly refused Zhao Gao】

【But what Zhao Gao said next made Li Si fall into a deep silence.】

【Zhao Gao asked Li Si: Who do you think you can compare with Meng Tian? Who is more successful than Meng Tian? Which one is Meng Tian if you don’t lose anything when planning for a long distance? Who has no resentment in the world, or Meng Tian? Which one does the eldest son believe in or Meng Tian?】

【Zhao Gao's meaning is very obvious. Once Fusu succeeds to the throne, he will definitely use the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and Li Si will definitely be left out.】

【Li Si was a little shaken, but still subconsciously retorted: In these five aspects, I am not as good as Meng Tian. But why do you have to be so demanding on me?】

【Seeing this, Zhao Gao struck while the iron was hot: The prime minister is a smart man. He should know that all the prime ministers in the Qin Dynasty did not end well. Shang Yang, Zhang Yi and Lu Buwei all learned from the past.】

【The eldest son, Fusu, was resolute and brave, a man of faith and a warrior. Once he came to the throne, he would definitely appoint Meng Tian as prime minister. At that time, will you be able to land safely and return to your hometown? Hu Hai is kind and benevolent, and he values ​​wealth more than talents. He is actually the best candidate to establish an heir. I hope the Prime Minister will carefully consider it.】

【First with coercion, then with inducements, Zhao Gao tried his best to persuade Li Si, but Li Si rejected Zhao Gao again: Si obeys the Lord's edict and obeys the orders of God.】

【Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in the sky, Li Si does not want to join the same trap as Zhao Gao】

【Zhao Gao was a little angry and stopped pretending. He directly started to threaten openly: The power and fate of the world now hang on Hu Hai, and Gao Neng has his ambition. If the king listens to the advice of his ministers, he will always be granted a title, and he will be called an orphan from generation to generation. If you refuse to comply with this statement now, it will bring harm to your descendants, which is enough to chill your heart. Good people turn misfortunes into blessings, where can you be??】

【Now the power is about to fall into the hands of Hu Hai. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish. If you don't obey me again, you will be executed!】

【Seeing this, Li Si sighed and could only agree to cooperate with Zhao Gao. From then on, the fate of the empire began to go awry. 】

Xianyang Palace.

All the courtiers outside the palace were lying on the ground, not daring to breathe.

And Ying Zheng, who was sitting high on the throne, exuded monstrous murderous intent, his eyes were wide open, his chest was rising and falling, he was extremely angry.

"OK, OK, OK!!"

"What a scheming idea! Good idea!! So brave!!!"

"Zhao Gao, I really misjudged you. I didn’t expect you to have such a talent. I just asked you to be an official of the Zhongche Mansion. I really wronged you!"

Ying Zheng said words of praise, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, and his tone was extremely cold, which made Zhao Gao on the side feel the hair on his head stand on end. At this moment, Zhao Gao was extremely frightened, and his throat was like It was like someone was stuck, with his mouth open, but he couldn't say a word.

At this moment, Hu Hai was also dragged in by the soldiers. He was still carrying large and small baggage on his body, and it seemed that he was planning to run away.
