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

"you?!"

Liu Xin panicked.

Zhao Gao's words are not difficult to understand.

In order to make sure he understood the meaning of his words immediately, Zhao Gao deliberately spoke very bluntly.

"If the King of Ruyin does not believe me, he can send someone home to check if your wife and children are still there."

"We'll give you a chance. After you've read this, you can decide what tone you want to use when you talk to us."

"As for the others, you are all free to go back and check on your families to see if your loved ones are safe and sound."

These words were so shocking that not only the others, but even Liu Xuan, who was sitting in the highest seat, trembled with fear.

He had a rough idea of ​​what Zhao Gao was planning to do.

But he never imagined that Zhao Gao would be so crazy, so resolute, leaving no way out!

The people present here today all hold significant positions in the imperial court.

Most importantly, they all held military power!

If we push them too far and force them to do something desperate, then it's hard to say whether Liu Xuan will still be the emperor tomorrow!

"Prime Minister Zhao, haven't you handled this matter somewhat inappropriately?"

To clarify his stance, Liu Xuan quickly asked a question, attempting to distance himself from the situation.

But will Zhao Gao give him that opportunity?

Seeing the doubt in someone's eyes, he bowed directly to Liu Xuan.

"Your Majesty, we have only recently joined your cause and have not yet achieved any merit. If we rashly assume the position of Prime Minister, I fear that most people will be dissatisfied. I urge Your Majesty to be patient and wait until we have properly organized these officials before bestowing the title."

what?

Liu Xuan was completely bewildered. He was about to explain that he didn't mean it that way when he suddenly met Zhao Gao's gaze.

A pure threat.

He, he actually dared to threaten me?

Somewhat incredulous, Liu Xuan was about to order Zhao Gao to be arrested and explain to the generals later when he saw Zhao Gao point at him first.

"As for now, His Majesty must have had too much to drink. I would trouble you generals to send two people to escort His Majesty back to his palace. We can discuss the rest behind closed doors, shall we?"

"How dare you, Zhao Gao! I have not been drinking!"

Only then did Liu Xuan finally understand.

Zhao Gao never intended to be loyal to him.

What this Grand Chancellor of Qin wanted from beginning to end was simply for Liu Xuan to invite the generals to a gathering in his own name.

After doing this, under Zhao Gao's control, his fate would likely still be to obediently become a puppet.

Liu Xuan wasn't even sure if he would survive.

After all, Hu Hai had already been killed by Zhao Gao!

"Guards, seize this madman for me!"

In his panic, Liu Xuan didn't even notice that after he issued several decrees to arrest Zhao Gao, no one actually took action.

"Your Majesty, you are truly drunk. We were having a pleasant conversation with the generals, why do you have to spoil the mood?"

"Gentlemen, please let His Majesty return to his palace. I will take care of the rest."

Instead of ordering his men to take action, Zhao Gao looked at the generals present.

Although they didn't bring many people because it was Liu Xuan's banquet, they were all served by trusted confidants.

Some of them sent their trusted confidants home secretly to confirm.

Zhao Gao did not object to this.

He stood there quietly, looking at the people in front of him with an arrogant gaze.

Some were from the rebel army, while others were relatives of the Han imperial family.

But so what?

To him, they were all just a bunch of peasants.

In the past, he served the First Emperor and schemed against the heir to the Qin Dynasty and its most favored general.

Even Li Si, who held immense power in the imperial court, ultimately fell into his hands.

Compared to those who once opposed him in the imperial court, these naive and laughable people in front of him are not even worthy of being called opponents!

Liu Xuan dared not say anything more at this point.

Or perhaps he suddenly realized something.

From the moment he accepted Zhao Gao and gave Zhao Gao and his thousand cavalrymen a legitimate status, his power seemed to diminish once again.

Previously, he was only wary of the military power of these generals and the influence of the civil official families in the court.

Now it seems there's another person who can put pressure on him.

But after thinking it over, he realized he had no solution.

Not only was he helpless, but all the generals he had invited to the banquet also became dejected after hearing the report from his confidant.

They were all veterans of battlefield battles, and ordinary civil officials who merely dabbled in literature were never taken seriously by them.

Although Zhao Gao could be considered a civil official, at this moment, they dared not offend him in the slightest!

"Everyone, have you all found out about your family's situation?"

"To tell you the truth, it's not just your family that's like this; we've also sent people to take care of your wife's family, your father's family, and your mother's family."

"We brought a thousand cavalrymen with us when we came to Chang'an, but now we only have less than a hundred left with us. If some unscrupulous person wants to kill us, we are not afraid of death, but we don't know what our soldiers will do if we die."

Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, several people present stood up in anger.

But they only dared to glare at Zhao Gao, and dared not utter even a single threatening word.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Liu Xin gritted his teeth, but his tone was cautious.

"What do we want to do? Of course, we want to unify the country for His Majesty and sweep away all the enemies in our way."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhao Gao glanced at Liu Xuan.

The meaning in their gaze is self-evident.

After struggling with his conscience for a moment, Liu Xin nodded to his confidant, who then stepped forward and invited Emperor Gengshi, Liu Xuan, to leave.

Seeing the unwilling look on Liu Xuan's face, Zhao Gao just smiled disdainfully.

Even Hu Hai could only obediently submit to his control; if he said it was a horse, then it was a horse.

This Liu Xuan?

He didn't even need to lead the deer; he could simply call Liu Xuan a horse, and there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Controlling this group of muscle-bound brutes is that easy!

How dare he do this?

Seeing this, Old Zhu really couldn't hold back anymore.

He had fought his way up from the bottom, so he naturally knew what these generals cared about most.

People risk their lives on the battlefield, not only for power but also for their families or clans.

Zhao Gao's move can be said to have completely grasped their biggest weakness.

"That's just the kind of person he is, unscrupulous and never considers the consequences."

"Otherwise, how dare he alter my edict?"

Ying Zheng never doubted Zhao Gao's audacity and style of doing things.

He already knew this even before he died.

Otherwise, how could he have risen so high in such a short time, despite being a eunuch?

"You're all just complaining, but I'm the one in real danger!"

Liu Xiu was on the verge of tears.

Even if the outcome of the challenge doesn't affect him, it's still hard to bear the taste of failure in front of countless people!
