The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

Li Si didn't need to look up to know how terrifying Ying Zheng's expression was.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a trembling voice.

"He shall be executed, and his entire family shall be exterminated."

"But I hope Your Majesty will consider my dedication to the Great Qin and the fact that this matter has not yet occurred, and grant me some dignity."

To do one's best?

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Si certainly made significant contributions to the rise of the Qin Dynasty.

He hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"I will grant you dignity. You may deal with your three clans as you see fit. Three days from now, I will see their heads and yours."

Upon hearing this, Li Si kowtowed three times heavily.

He did not defend himself.

Putting himself in that situation, this was indeed a decision he could have made.

He knew perfectly well that he would stop at nothing to gain power.

With Li Si gone, only Zhao Gao remained kneeling before Ying Zheng.

"Zhao Gao, I will not punish you for the time being. I want to see what you, this eunuch, have done since you came to power, which has led to the downfall of my Great Qin after only two generations!"

"Guards, bring Huhai here to me. He will be dealt with along with Zhao Gao later!"

Li Si was an insider; he couldn't understand it.

But Ying Zheng understood Zhao Gao.

For Zhao Gao, Li Si's greatest use was in altering imperial edicts.

After the imperial edict was revised, helping Huhai secure his throne, Li Si became a stumbling block and would eventually be eliminated by Zhao Gao.

And it must be admitted that Li Si was extremely capable. If he had been able to hold power for a long time, the Qin Dynasty would not have perished after only two generations.

The culprits must be Zhao Gao, who is right in front of us, and Hu Hai, who is about to be brought here!

After the images on the screen disappeared, the subtitles reappeared.

[After Li Si conspired with Zhao Gao to send the altered imperial edict to Fusu.]

Fusu locked himself in his room for three days.

Three days later, the person Meng Tian sent to deliver food discovered that he had committed suicide in his room.

Only then did Meng Tian see the altered imperial edict.

Having fought wars his entire life, he naturally harbored suspicions about such conspiracies and tricks.

Moreover, with 200,000 troops stationed on the border, even if the edict was genuine, he was confident he could raise an army to support Fusu's ascension to the throne.

Unfortunately, Fusu is gone, and no matter how much power he has, he cannot overturn the world.

Moreover, his Meng family had been loyal and virtuous for generations, and they would not allow him to raise an army and rebel under such circumstances.

In utter desperation, Meng Tian, ​​even though unwilling to obey the imperial edict and commit suicide, was powerless to make any changes.

Ultimately, Meng Tian was imprisoned, and the entire Qin Dynasty fell into the hands of Zhao Gao and Huhai.

Ying Zheng: “…”

No wonder!

No wonder Old Zhu said that my son is not as good as his son!

From this perspective, it really is far inferior!

Even when he was not in the right, Zhu Di dared to launch a rebellion.

Fusu had almost all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support!

From beginning to end, Ying Zheng's chosen successor was Fusu!

Once the edict to pass the throne to Huhai was issued, it was clear to all discerning people in the court that it was a scheme by Li Si and Zhao Gao.

If Fusu were to raise his arm and call out, there would be no obstacles on the road from the border to Xianyang!

All the garrison commanders would simply open and close the gates to allow passage, and would even proactively provide guides and provisions to welcome Fusu to the throne!

Even assuming, hypothetically, that all the garrison commanders were bribed by Zhao Gao...

Meng Tian didn't have 200,000 pigs in his hands!

That was the Meng family army, the most elite force of the Qin Dynasty, numbering two hundred thousand!

For Meng Tian, ​​capturing Xianyang was an easy task!

Ying Zheng never imagined that he would help Su Jianglu go from the imperial court to the border army.

As a result, Fusu committed suicide because of a fake imperial edict!

He didn't even think to send someone to verify whether it was true or not!

This is fucking ridiculous!

Ying Zheng wanted to summon Fusu back now and ask him what was going on in his head!

Confucianism values ​​filial piety, but you can't be blindly obedient!

"What do you think, First Emperor? Let me tell you, your son is really not as good as our son, far inferior!"

"If it were our fourth brother here, his mouth would probably be grinning from ear to ear!"

"Not only did they give away the throne for free, they also gave away a reason to forge an imperial edict to eliminate dissidents."

"Right, fourth brother?"

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Di, who was trembling to the side, with a cold smile.

Zhu Di: “…”

Father, you can mock the First Emperor all you want, but why do you keep bringing me up?

If you want to beat someone up, just do it. Don't try to scare people like this!

He dared not cooperate, while Zhu Di during the Yongle era adopted a "what's the use" attitude.

"Father, you are absolutely right. When it comes to having sons, the First Emperor was no match for you."

"If I were to use my methods, I could not only eliminate dissidents, but also place my own forces within them."

"By attacking and rushing, plus changing the court, I can transform Xianyang in three months!"

Young Zhu Di: "..."

My living father.

Go ahead and show off!

Haven't you thought about that?

How many beatings will I get because of what you said?

"Fourth brother, you're really quite capable."

Sure enough, after seeing Yongle Zhu Di's comment, the old Zhu looked over with angry eyes.

Young Zhu Di readily pulled out a whip from behind him.

"Dad, can you switch sides today? My right side is almost raw from being spanked. Let it rest."

However, this time Old Zhu only snorted coldly and had no intention of making a move.

Empress Ma, who was standing nearby, gave Zhu Di a wink, and Zhu Di immediately understood and quickly put away the whip.

So Dad was really praising him this time!

But when you think about it, it makes sense.

If he were the emperor, and the successor had to be chosen between himself and Fusu, he would definitely choose himself!

After all, Fusu was the kind of person who could lose the throne even when it was practically offered to him.

Putting aside his abilities, his personality is truly something that leaves one speechless.

This time, even Ying Zheng himself couldn't refute Fusu's statement!

waste!

Utterly worthless!

Regardless of his governing abilities, the fact that he lost the throne shows that Fusu is far from being a qualified successor!

"Convey my decree: send Fusu back to Xianyang."

"He is not yet qualified to be trained at the border. When he satisfies me, I will have Meng Tian come and fetch him!"

Faced with the mockery of Zhu and his son, Ying Zheng acquiesced.

He would be very happy if he had a son like Zhu Di.

It's not impossible that he could even be directly established as the crown prince.

If Fusu had even a fraction of Zhu Di's courage, his Qin Dynasty would not have perished after only two generations!

With Huhai ascending the throne.

In order to secure his throne, he needed to ensure that no one could pose a threat to him.

He directly slaughtered his own brothers and sisters.

Including Fusu, who was indirectly killed by him, all thirty-three of Ying Zheng's children died at his hands.

Most of them were executed by him, torn apart by chariots.

The most severe punishment was dismemberment by chariot.

When these two words appeared simultaneously in the sky, Hu Hai was brought before Ying Zheng.

Looking at his once obedient and adorable son, Ying Zheng now found him utterly repulsive.

After ascending the throne, he still harmed his own brothers and sisters, even in such an extreme way.

"Hu Hai, come here, I want to take a good look at you."

"Look at your heart, see if it's black or not. I've spoiled you so much, and this is how you repay my kindness?"
