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

"May I make him the Son of Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Le was stunned.

Even Ying Zheng, who was outside the sky, was stunned.

To make a eunuch the emperor!

Ying Zheng casually took the whip from a servant and lashed it seven or eight times before he could barely calm down.

"My Great Qin Dynasty, through the accumulated achievements of six generations, was able to sweep across the land and ascend to the throne under my rule."

"You wicked beast, you actually want to give up the throne to a eunuch!"

"You bastard, you worthless wretch! I truly regret giving birth to you! You deserve to die!"

Damn!

Seeing Hu Hai still rolling around and screaming in agony, Ying Zheng's anger flared up again, and he lashed him three more times with the whip.

"Carry him away and give him proper treatment. My good son cannot die so easily!"

He must suffer the same fate as Zhao Gao to vent his hatred!

what?

Is this their biological child?

But he killed more than thirty of his own children who were also his biological children!

Logically and emotionally, even in terms of sheer numbers, Hu Hai had absolutely no reason to survive!

As Ying Zheng vented some of his anger, the images on the sky continued.

Hu Hai looked at Yan Le with a pleading expression.

He abdicated the throne to Zhao Gao and made him emperor.

This is the biggest concession he can make, and it's his only remaining bargaining chip.

But under his expectant gaze, Yan Le still shook his head.

"No, Your Majesty, your sins are too grave, as you yourself should know. Even if I were willing to forgive you, Heaven would not allow it."

Yan Le is absolutely right about that.

Given the sins Hu Hai committed, he should have been punished by heaven long ago.

"Then, I will not be a prince. I would like to be a marquis with ten thousand households. Is that possible?"

Hu Hai took another step back.

Yan Le shook his head again.

"Then I will abdicate the throne to Prime Minister Zhao. I only wish to live as an ordinary citizen. I want nothing. Is that alright?"

"Your Majesty, I am here today to kill you. If you do not die, I will die. So no matter what you say, even if the Prime Minister is willing, I will not agree."

"Please commit suicide; consider it my final act of respect for the Emperor."

Yan Le waved.

Dozens of people stepped forward and surrounded Hu Hai.

Clearly, if Hu Hai did not wish to maintain a dignified appearance, these people would help him to do so.

In desperation, Hu Hai turned his attention to the young eunuch who had accompanied him to the inner palace.

He could only hope that the little eunuch would display extraordinary power and lead him out of the encirclement.

Unfortunately, his last hope was dashed, and the little eunuch just knelt on the ground, not daring to move.

In the footage, Hu Hai commits suicide in front of dozens of people.

Just like his elder brother Fusu.

After Yan Le brought the news back, Zhao Gao immediately summoned all civil and military officials to court.

In the imperial court, he first announced the news of Hu Hai's death.

Immediately afterwards, in front of all the civil and military officials, he held the jade seal that Yan Le had brought back in his hands, slowly walked up the high platform, and sat on the dragon throne.

Both Yan Le and Zhao Cheng were stunned by what they saw.

This isn't what we agreed on!

In Zhao Gao's plan, he intended to support Prince Ziying to ascend the throne.

But his current actions clearly indicate that he intends to ascend the throne himself!

Although Zhao Gao also had the surname Zhao, he was ultimately just a eunuch.

The idea of ​​sidelining Hu Hai and effectively controlling the court was acceptable to both civil and military officials.

Because you, Zhao Gao, are just a eunuch, you have long been childless and will not have any biological offspring.

At worst, they'll just have to put up with it for a while, and then settle accounts naturally after you die.

But if you want to be the emperor, that's a completely different story!

God knows where you'll suddenly pull an heir out of!

They may grit their teeth and tolerate you for a while, but they would never want their descendants to be under your threat for generations to come!

Seeing Zhao Gao sitting on the dragon throne, holding the jade seal high in his hands.

All the civil and military officials below remained silent.

Even Zhao Cheng and Yan Le, the two conspirators, dared not utter a sound at this moment.

Their state is exactly the state of Ying Zheng outside the sky right now.

He just stared at Zhao Gao quietly, without saying a word.

He was eager to know where this eunuch got his courage from.

How could they dare to do such a thing?

In the end, he was just a eunuch, yet he dared to covet the throne.

Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you really are!

"Zhao Gao, it seems I underestimated your courage."

"Calling a deer a horse is not your limit. You even want to become the emperor of my Great Qin Dynasty as a eunuch."

Is there anything in this world you wouldn't dare to do?

"It seems that when I said I would pass the throne to you directly, you probably agreed in your heart, and I wonder if you were secretly happy about it, right?"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng suddenly lashed out with his whip.

Zhao Gao screamed in agony.

The more pitiful his cries, the more enthusiastically Ying Zheng whipped him.

It must be said that Zhao Gao's physical condition was much better than Hu Hai's.

He was whipped nearly twenty times before his screams gradually subsided.

"Drag him away and let the imperial physician treat him properly. He must not die; I haven't vented my anger enough yet!"

Ying Zheng casually tossed the whip aside and gave another order.

Meanwhile, above the sky...

Zhao Gao sat on the highest dragon throne, but none of the civil and military officials uttered a sound.

This was the first time they had ever united in resisting Zhao Gao.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Gao realized that it was probably impossible for him to sit on the throne.

But it doesn't matter, he's just giving it a try.

If it works out, that would be great; if it doesn't, then just consider it a misunderstanding.

As long as he doesn't want to sit on the throne, all the civil and military officials in the court have to treat him as the true emperor of Qin!

"The Second Emperor Hu Hai was incompetent and tyrannical. Today, he suddenly died at the hands of bandits in the palace. Perhaps it is the punishment sent down by Heaven."

"But a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I have heard of Prince Ziying's virtue and ability. Today I recommend him to succeed to the throne. What do you all think?"

Prince Ziying?

His abilities are unclear, and his personality is unclear.

This young master was so low-key that he was even overlooked when Hu Hai slaughtered his brothers and sisters.

To be honest, most people don't really have much of an impression of it.

But as long as Zhao Gao doesn't want to ascend the throne himself, as long as he gives the position of emperor to the descendants of the First Emperor, then they will accept it!

It's just a matter of changing the puppet.

They could accept Hu Hai as a puppet ruler, so they wouldn't mind replacing him with someone else.

"The Prime Minister is wise!"

"Ziying is of pure and good character. I have heard many people praise him for his talent at such a young age. Prime Minister, you have excellent judgment!"

"I have also heard that Prince Ziying is extremely capable and has a gentle and kind nature, making him most suitable for the throne!"

“We should immediately send someone to find Ziying and bring him to the palace. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. He can be enthroned today and handle the affairs left behind by the Second Emperor.”

Government affairs?

After the last minister finished speaking, he almost laughed at himself.

What a load of nonsense government affairs.

The emperor has been out of the running for a long time.

But for now, we still need to say the nice things on the surface!
