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

Do you want to be a puppet for the rest of your life?

This question struck a chord with Liu Xuan.

Sitting in this position, who would want to be a puppet for life?

Who wouldn't want to truly rule the world?

Liu Xuan finally understood why Zhao Gao insisted on a private audience today, and why he couldn't even keep a eunuch.

So that's the reason!

Once their conversation gets out, Zhao Gao will suffer a terrible death outside the palace gates as soon as he steps out.

Not to mention a thousand or even ten thousand riders, they couldn't save his life!

Seeing Zhao Gao's confident expression, Liu Xuan remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty only needs to host a banquet for the generals; the rest is up to me."

Zhao Gao said calmly.

As he spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

This Liu Xuan seems even easier to fool than Hu Hai!

But the result was not much different from what he had expected.

"Then why didn't you personally invite them, Lord Zhao?"

This wasn't a big deal, but Liu Xuan couldn't quite understand why they had to go to all this trouble.

“My reputation is notorious. If I invite them in person, they will definitely be wary, and it won’t be so easy to persuade them then.”

Zhao Gao explained very patiently.

At least in this situation where he was unable to seize power, he was still very patient.

"I understand. So, when should we set the date?"

Liu Xuan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Let's do it on the evening of three days from now. Three days is enough time for me to make preparations, and I will surely bring Your Majesty good news at that time."

As Zhao Gao finished speaking, time on the sky sped up rapidly.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Countless images flashed by quickly, but some sharp-eyed people still noticed some clues.

"Holy crap? This Zhao Gao is practically courting death!"

Zhu Di exclaimed in surprise.

He didn't see much, except that Zhao Gao sent men to infiltrate the home of Liu Xin, the Prince of Ruyin, slaughter all of his dozens of servants, and kidnap his wife and children.

It's not hard to guess Zhao Gao's intentions from this incident.

Coercion!

"It's not necessarily courting death. After coercion, there should be enticement. He has followed me for so many years. Coercion alone is not enough to make him risk his life for me. He should understand this principle."

Ying Zheng glanced indifferently at Zhao Gao, who was still kneeling quietly in place.

Those who are valued by him are generally capable.

"But isn't he afraid of incurring public wrath? Can he threaten people temporarily with such methods, or can he threaten them forever?"

Zhu Gaochi was somewhat confused.

Or rather, he overlooked the most crucial point.

"So he hosted the banquet for the generals in the name of Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan. Even if it causes a backlash from the generals in the future, they will only vent their anger on Liu Xuan!"

"After all, in the eyes of the generals, it was not Zhao Gao who threatened them with their families, but Liu Xuan!"

Liu Bang's eyes were full of admiration.

Zhao Gao's use of coercion and enticement, and his reliance on the Eastern Han dynasty to bring disaster, was truly brilliant.

The problem was solved in the simplest way, and the hatred didn't even fall on him!

"...To be honest, I find such an opponent somewhat frightening."

Seeing how refined and ruthless Zhao Gao's methods were, Liu Xiu became increasingly uneasy.

Something's not right here!

If Zhao Gao had successfully persuaded the generals to send troops to hunt him down, he really wouldn't have been very confident of escaping alive!

"Don't even mention you, it would be just as difficult for anyone to handle."

"The most important point is that Zhao Gao knew the final outcome, which was equivalent to giving him an open-book exam, giving him a significant advantage."

Emperor Gengshi Liu Xuan was easily fooled, and the generals around him who held military power were also not on guard.

With a combination of intention and cunning, it was not difficult for Zhao Gao to control them all!

From that moment on, Zhu Yuanzhang removed his treacherous bias against Zhao Gao.

A treacherous official is not the same as a mediocre one.

This is quite a menace!

Three days passed quickly as the sky accelerated its pace.

It was nothing new for Liu Xuan to host a banquet for his generals.

This puppet emperor had Zhao Meng handle political affairs, while military power was in the hands of his generals.

Aside from occasionally hosting banquets for his generals to assert his presence, he really didn't have much else to do.

But tonight's banquet will not be as uneventful as these people imagine.

Or rather, for a long time to come, the thought of tonight's dinner will haunt them!

"I am hosting this banquet for you generals today because there is something I want to discuss with you."

After everyone was seated, Liu Xuan slowly began to speak.

But his words went unnoticed by anyone; most people didn't even bother to look at him.

Liu Xuan was not angry about this situation; in fact, he had become somewhat accustomed to it.

He continued speaking to himself.

"Or rather, it's not that I have important business to attend to, but rather that a capable minister recently pledged his allegiance to me, and tonight I would like to introduce you to him."

Hearing this, the room finally quieted down.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, who are you?"

Liu Xin stood up and questioned him without giving him any face.

"Your Highness, what an arrogant air you have! You are a subject, yet you question His Majesty in such a manner. What is the punishment for such a subject?"

Before Liu Xuan could speak, Zhao Gao's cold voice came from the inner room.

"who are you?"

Liu Xin had never met Zhao Gao, but he could tell from his tone that the visitor was up to no good.

But he wasn't afraid.

After all, he's been through the wringer on the battlefield; to think you can scare him with a few words is just wishful thinking!

"Zhao Gao, the Grand Chancellor of the Qin Dynasty."

"Although we have gained His Majesty's favor, we have not yet made any contributions, so we have not been granted any official titles or ranks. What kind of official position we can hold in this Han Dynasty depends on your cooperation."

Grand Chancellor of the Great Qin Dynasty!

The moment those words were uttered, everyone present, who had just had a few drinks, snapped back to reality.

They had never met Zhao Gao, but the name was familiar to them all!

He wreaked havoc on the entire Qin Dynasty, a figure who once held absolute power and called a deer a horse!

An unseen force made them aware of and accept that Zhao Gao and Hu Hai had replaced Wang Yi in his position.

But they never expected that Zhao Gao would suddenly appear here!

"Zhao Gao? How dare you, a treacherous villain, appear before us? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Liu Xin had already made an example of someone, and for the sake of his reputation, he naturally couldn't sit back down now.

Moreover, someone like Zhao Gao would never be content with a life of mediocrity.

If he were allowed into the imperial court, who knows what kind of storm he would stir up.

For them, the best option is to exclude him before he interferes in court affairs!

“Death? Whether I am afraid of death or not is none of the King of Ruyin’s concern. You only need to know that your uncle Liu Ci is afraid of death, as are your concubines and your young children.”

"If you dare point that filthy finger at us again, we'll have someone chop off a few of their hands to wake you up!"
