Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

"My Great Qin Dynasty is destined to perish after only two generations? How could that be?! Who in this world can defy me?!"

The murderous aura that Ying Zheng inadvertently revealed in his words made Tang Yu tremble all over, and he secretly groaned inwardly.

As expected of the First Emperor, whose achievements surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and whose virtue was superior to that of the Martial Emperor, his imposing aura was truly unbearable for ordinary people!

Meng Tian and the other guards beside Tang Yu had already drawn their swords.

"He is not an immortal at all, yet he dares to spread heresy and curse my Great Qin! Your Majesty, I order him to be executed!"

At this moment, Tang Yu's heart was in his throat, after all, what he had just said was like dancing on a grave!

However, after a brief outburst of rage, Zheng Ge quickly regained his composure.

"Meng Tian, ​​step down."

"I would like to ask, what is the basis for the immortal's words? Why did my Great Qin Dynasty perish after only two generations?"

To recover so quickly, such mental fortitude and tolerance—Zheng Ge truly deserves to be called the First Emperor!

"Does Your Majesty still remember the four words 'Qin was destroyed by the Hu'?"

Boom——

In an instant, it was as if a thunderbolt flashed through everyone's minds. When that stone tablet was unearthed, everyone in the court had heard about it.

However, due to the Qin Dynasty's growing military strength and the completion of the Great Wall, people did not take this statement to heart.

"Could it be that the immortals are saying that those barbarians destroyed my Great Qin Dynasty??"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the troops into battle. We will surely wipe out those barbarians on the grasslands in one fell swoop!"

"I second the proposal."

All the generals were eagerly requesting to fight, but Ying Zheng ignored them and simply raised his hand slightly, instantly silencing the court.

"Of course I remember those words. They are just a bunch of barbarians from the grasslands. How could they possibly cross the Great Wall and destroy my Great Qin?"

"Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the border of my Qin state can be killed as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs."

Ying Zheng's words seemed arrogant, but in reality, they were extremely understated, as if he were stating a simple fact.

This is Qin Shi Huang, this is Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the world, and this is the confidence, or rather arrogance, of the first emperor!

He should have been this confident after unifying the six kingdoms, standardizing the gauge of carts and the written language, suppressing the Xiongnu in the north, and defeating the Baiyue in the south!

He glanced at the other ministers in the court. Although everyone reacted differently—some were deep in thought, some looked anxious, and some ministers from the six kingdoms were secretly excited—he noticed that they were all deep in thought.

However, Tang Yu discovered that it seemed no one in this era believed that the Qin Dynasty would perish after only two generations.

Similarly, it seems that no one in this era has ever figured out what the "Hu" in "Qin perished at the hands of Hu" could possibly mean.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Those Xiongnu people are already terrified of the Great Qin. The Great Wall that Your Majesty ordered to be built will be remembered for generations to come."

"I wonder if Your Majesty has considered whether the character 'Hu' might have other meanings?"

Meaning? What else could it mean?

With the six states destroyed and the world unified, the only enemies of the Qin Dynasty now are the Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south.

However, if the Baiyue dared to leave the mountains, they would become easy prey for the Qin army. They were not a serious threat; the only real threat was the Xiongnu tribes.

Tang Yu realized that no one had grasped the other meaning behind the beard, so he could only sigh and begin to explain.

"The character 'Hu' can refer to not only the Hu people's tribe, but also a person's name."

"Hu? Who is that? I don't recall any royal family member from the six kingdoms having 'Hu' in their name."

"Wait a minute, doesn't the character 'Hu' appear in the name of Young Master Hu Hai?"

"Haha, are you overthinking this? How could he possibly be a young master of our Great Qin family? Besides, Young Master Fusu will surely discipline his unruly younger brothers."

As the ministers discussed amongst themselves, Zhao Gao, standing behind Ying Zheng, suddenly trembled, subtly wiping the sweat from his brow, and even his breathing became tense.

Zhao Gao really did consider putting Prince Huhai on the throne!

At this moment, Zheng Ge also frowned, as he too had no idea who the person associated with the name Hu was.

Brother Zheng! It seems even you didn't anticipate such an outrageous possibility!

"Your Majesty, this 'Hu' is your son, Prince Huhai!"

Seeing the shocked expressions and gasps of everyone around him, Tang Yu continued his relentless pursuit of the unexpected.

"After your fourth eastern tour and death, Prince Huhai ascended the throne and completely ruined the Qin Dynasty in less than ten years! The Qin Dynasty perished in the hands of Huhai after only two generations, which is why it is said that 'Qin was destroyed by Hu'!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The first to stand up and refute were the officials, led by Confucian scholars. They supported Prince Fusu, who was as close as family to them. How could they accept Prince Huhai taking the throne?

As a close friend of Fusu, Meng Tian, ​​standing behind Tang Yu, still harbored doubts about Tang Yu's identity as an immortal.

"How dare you, assassin, utter such arrogant words and frame my Prince of Qin?"

"Yes, how could it be Prince Huhai who ascends to the throne? Prince Fusu is still alive!"

Everyone looked incredulous, including Ying Zheng on the dragon throne, who stared at Tang Yu in disbelief.

"Immortal, are you joking? With Prince Fu Su around, how can Hu Hai ascend to the throne?"

Those around Ying Zheng nodded in agreement when they heard his question. After all, although no crown prince had been appointed yet, Prince Fusu had already gained everyone's tacit approval.

Thinking about how future generations would evaluate this period of history, Tang Yu smiled and looked up at Ying Zheng on the dragon throne with amusement.

"This matter was actually made possible thanks to His Majesty's instigation."

"How dare you speak such nonsense!"

"Shut up, you're spreading rumors!"

Ignoring the officials' shouts, Tang Yu continued his narration.

"The position of Crown Prince of Qin has been undecided for a long time. Any of your bloodline is qualified to inherit Qin. Why can't Prince Huhai?"

"Similarly, His Majesty also contributed to Prince Huhai's success."

Under Ying Zheng's surprised gaze, Tang Yu paused briefly before beginning his explanation.

"Given Prince Fusu's character and temperament, will His Majesty send him to the army for training in order to better prepare him for the position of emperor?"

"If you were to pass away while he was in the army, and if two powerful figures in the court were to conspire to alter your will and force Prince Fusu to commit suicide, do you think Prince Fusu would obediently comply?"

After delivering this shocking statement, Tang Yu turned his gaze to the middle-aged man who was the head of all the officials.

"Prime Minister Li and... that Lord Zhao, do you two think what I said makes sense?"
