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

The words on the sky disappeared, and the image reappeared.

"His Majesty is becoming increasingly difficult to fool."

"He's getting bolder and bolder; today he even dared to reprimand me."

“I think it’s time to change the emperor’s position. Prince Ziying is low-key and I’ve heard that he is timid, which is just what we need.”

"If we appoint him, at least for a short period of time we can still act like tyrants."

“When Liu Bang reaches Xianyang, we will open the city gates and surrender, and use Ziying to exchange for wealth and honor.”

In the scene, standing in front of Zhao Gao are Yan Le, the magistrate of Xianyang, and Zhao Cheng, the physician.

Upon hearing his words, both Yan Le and Zhao Cheng's expressions changed drastically.

Although the court had always followed Zhao Gao's lead.

But this involves deposing and installing an emperor—this is a matter of utmost importance!

Furthermore, it's easy to tell from Zhao Gao's tone that he had no intention of letting Hu Hai live!

King regicide, plus the replacement of the emperor!

Such a crime, if the charge is not upheld, will result in the death penalty and the extermination of the entire family!

"Prime Minister Zhao, this matter is extremely risky."

"So what if we keep a low profile these days? When Liu Bang conquers Xianyang, we can offer him the Second Emperor and exchange that for a lifetime of wealth and honor, can't we?"

Zhao Cheng hesitated before speaking.

His courage was ultimately no match for Zhao Gao's.

But who can understand Zhao Gao's current state of mind?

In his heart, he was already the emperor of Qin.

The only difference between him and the First Emperor of the past is a title!

Today, Hu Hai actually dared to contradict him; wouldn't that be utterly rebellious!

Even if it weren't for the possibility of him continuing to act arrogantly, just for the sake of his authority in front of the officials, he couldn't let Huhai continue to sit on the throne!

“I said that I want to establish Ziying as the third emperor. I am not here to discuss this with you today, but to inform you.”

"I am determined to kill Hu Hai. If he doesn't die, you will all die in his place!"

Both of them were stunned by what he said.

They clearly hadn't expected Zhao Gao to have become so arrogant.

Indeed, they dared to kill even the emperor, let alone the two of them.

Given Hu Hai's incompetent nature, even if the two of them died, he would never ask them a single question.

Despite the fact that a rift had already formed between Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

If Zhao Gao killed a few insignificant people, Hu Hai would never have bothered to care.

He was still dreaming of protecting the Qin Dynasty, so how could he care about such a trivial matter?

After a long silence, Yan Le spoke.

"what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao did not reply, but instead looked at Zhao Cheng, who had not yet given in.

Under his intense gaze, Zhao Cheng had no choice but to nod.

"Prime Minister, please give your orders. What should I do?"

Seeing that both men agreed, Zhao Gao finally smiled.

"It's very simple. Most of the people in the palace are our people now. Tomorrow, Zhao Cheng, you will transfer all your own people out of the palace, and then a group of thieves will break into the palace."

"At that time, Yan Le, as the magistrate of Xianyang, you will lead a thousand men to the palace to besiege and suppress them."

"I won't go into the details of the process, as you all should understand. I only care about the final result: the Second Emperor Huhai died tragically at the hands of bandits. Although you arrived late to rescue him, you have still made a contribution. I will ask Ziying to recommend you for credit."

"As for the rest of the palace, kill them all; leave no survivors."

After receiving Zhao Gao's order, Yan Le walked out of Zhao Gao's residence in a daze.

Looking at the vast palace in the distance, he found it all laughable.

Was the Second Emperor Hu Hai?

No, the Second Generation was clearly his incredibly powerful father-in-law!

……

"...Zhao Gao, tell me, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to directly pass the throne to you?"

"It will save you so much trouble, altering imperial edicts and calling a deer a horse. It's exhausting."

Ying Zheng clenched his teeth, fearing he might not be able to resist drawing his sword and killing Zhao Gao.

He altered imperial edicts, wielded immense power, and distorted the truth. Now, he intends to assassinate the emperor and depose him.

The crimes piled up.

Exterminate three generations? The most severe punishment?

That's not enough to punish him.

Even the cruelest punishments in the world are insufficient to punish this person, and insufficient to quell the hatred in Ying Zheng's heart!

His Qin Dynasty ultimately fell at the hands of a eunuch!

absurd!

The images on the sky continued to play.

Before dawn the next day, most of the palace guards had already been transferred away.

After receiving intelligence that bandits had broken into the palace, Yan Le immediately mustered more than a thousand men and headed straight for the palace.

The physician Zhao Cheng promptly opened the palace gates for him.

Yan Le knew that everyone in the palace was someone Zhao Gao had said he would kill without mercy.

Someone noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to ask what was going on, but before they could even speak, they were slashed down with a single blow.

More than a thousand people were scattered throughout the palace.

In an instant, screams filled the entire palace.

Hu Hai, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by screams and immediately asked those around him what had happened.

Upon learning that Zhao Gao's son-in-law, Yan Le, had led a group to forcibly enter the palace and commit indiscriminate killing, even if he were stupid, he would know what had happened.

"How could this be? How could Prime Minister Zhao do this?"

"I only reprimanded him a few times, I didn't punish him. Can't you talk to me about this? I can apologize."

Hu Hai panicked.

He looked at the only remaining eunuch beside him.

"Where are the guards in my palace? Do you know anything about them?"

The little eunuch had a bitter expression on his face.

“Everyone knows that the current emperor of Qin is not Your Majesty, but the prime minister. The palace guards are all the prime minister’s men, so naturally they will not stop Yan Le.”

"Ah? Why didn't you tell me?"

Hu Hai was even more terrified.

"I dare not, no one dares to speak. Those who dare to speak the truth have all been executed by Your Majesty."

In the past, the Qin Dynasty was not lacking in loyal ministers and generals who dared to speak the truth, and Zhao Gao would not have had the opportunity to extend his reach so far.

However, it was Hu Hai who personally propelled Zhao Gao to a position of awe and reverence among the court officials.

With Zhao Gao around, no one dared to speak a single word of the truth!

What they said was exactly what Zhao Gao wanted Huhai to hear.

"what?"

Hu Hai hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, and with the help of a young eunuch, fled to the inner palace.

But Yan Le had already caught up by then.

As Yan Le approached step by step, Hu Hai was so frightened that tears streamed down his face.

"Prime Minister, may I see you?"

"It was just a misunderstanding between us. I could have explained and apologized to him. There was no need to go this far."

However, Yan Le simply shook his head with a cold expression.

Having already gone this far, he naturally couldn't give Hu Hai any more chances!

Zhao Gao's words were quite clear.

Either Hu Hai dies, or he dies himself!

"Your Majesty is incompetent and tyrannical, indiscriminately killing innocent people everywhere. Now, rebels are rising up everywhere, and Heaven is enraged. Your Majesty, you should die to beg Heaven to forgive my Great Qin!"

"what?"

"No, I do not wish to die."

"The Prime Minister just wants me to abdicate, right? I will abdicate the throne to him, and I only wish to be a prince. I will make him the emperor. Is that alright?"
