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

"Is it really that useless in other aspects?"

Liu Xiu went from wanting to cry but having no tears to being both amused and exasperated.

If Zhao Gao had possessed even half of the psychological manipulation skills he had in other areas, such as strategic vision, he felt he would be on his way to Chang'an by now.

Before he got Liu Yang's support, he was really a pushover that anyone could take advantage of.

The imperial court can be manipulated, Zhao Gao can be manipulated, and even any local tyrant with a few troops can be manipulated.

After all, at that time, his elder brother was executed, and he was forced to relinquish most of his military power.

In this situation, if Zhao Gao sends troops to pursue and kill them, even a 20% chance of survival is an overestimation.

But if you miss that opportunity, the sky's the limit!

"However, in the end, Zhao Gao's current strength is by no means weak."

"The Green Forest Army, which was able to defeat the new dynasty, is no pushover. The current situation is not even evenly matched. Why is Emperor Guangwu suddenly so confident?"

Zhu Di asked with a smile.

"If the two sides are evenly matched, then I am bullying him. There is a lot of factional strife in the Green Forest Army. Even if they are forced to obey Zhao Gao on the surface, they will not obey the emperor's orders when they are outside, let alone Zhao Gao?"

"Even if he threatens the families and relatives of the generals, they are leading troops in the field. Does Zhao Gao really dare to perish with them?"

When it comes to understanding the situation within the Green Forest Army, no one can compare to Liu Xiu.

He came from a bandit background, so he naturally knew just how serious the power struggles and intrigues there were.

Those who make great contributions will be ostracized by others and feared by Liu Xuan.

On the contrary, those who do nothing are more likely to survive.

This resulted in the fact that, throughout Emperor Gengshi's court, those who were truly capable all harbored their own ulterior motives.

Just as depicted in the picture.

Liu Xiu swore an oath by pointing to the Luo River, indicating that those who undertake great things do not mind minor grievances. As long as Zhu Wei is willing to surrender, he will not settle scores with him, but will instead guarantee that his title will remain unchanged.

At this time, the status of Luoshui had not yet been taken over by the Sima clan.

Liu Xiu swore an oath by the Luo River, successfully gaining Zhu Wei's trust.

For once, a barrage of comments appeared on the screen during the challenge, a rare occurrence.

The implication of this teasing is self-evident.

Li Er and the others were overjoyed.

It seems that the fact that Sima Yi, that old dog, swore an oath by the Luo River and then turned around and exterminated Cao Shuang's entire clan had a significant impact on history.

Otherwise, the immortal wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it.

It wasn't until Liu Xiu captured Luoyang that Zhao Gao's army slowly began to move out.

Just a few months later.

In Chang'an, looking at the battle reports sent back from the battlefield in Luoyang, Zhao Gao felt a splitting headache.

He was able to seize control of Emperor Gengshi with lightning speed, as well as these generals and even the civil and military officials in the court.

But when it comes to problems related to war, they are completely clueless.

"Prime Minister, didn't you say that as long as you are in power, I will soon be able to rule the world?"

Liu Xuan had already ceded the main hall of the imperial study to Zhao Gao.

From the time Zhao Gao came to power, he was obsessed with the harem and did not set foot there for a long time.

Only after learning some information did he set foot in this place.

Although he was presented with situations where his side was at a disadvantage, Liu Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"This is quite different from what you said before."

"Not only do I see no hope of unification, but I also feel that we are following the old path of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty."

"Or is it that your abilities, Grand Chancellor, are limited to nothing more than scheming and intrigue?"

Under normal circumstances, Liu Xuan would never say such a thing.

But based on the military intelligence he had gathered and the information Zhao Meng had secretly reported to him, Liu Xiu had already become a formidable force.

Even many of the generals sent to punish him turned against him.

Even at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the situation was not worse than it is now!

"Oh? Does Your Majesty think I'm doomed to lose?"

Zhao Gao was already irritable, and seeing Liu Xuan's behavior only fueled his anger.

"Or what? You once held the entire Qin Dynasty in your hands, yet you still lost to various rebel armies. And now?"

"You really think you can make people risk their lives for you by coercion and bribery, huh?"

"Zhao Gao, I shouldn't have trusted you. The fate of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty has proven that you are nothing but a useless strategist!"

"Hand over the power; you are not worthy to be my prime minister."

Liu Xuan approached step by step.

Right behind him, dozens of axemen no longer concealed themselves.

Following behind the executioners were more than ten officials, led by Zhao Meng.

"Heh, is this a coup?"

Seeing these people, Zhao Gao could easily guess Liu Xuan's intentions.

"You lot, don't you even know your own worth? You dare to force us to enter your palace?"

"Liu Xuan, we acknowledge you as the emperor, you are the true emperor. If we don't acknowledge you, what do you think you are?"

"Let's make this clear: anyone who takes another step forward will be killed without mercy, and their entire family will be exterminated!"

"Let's see who has such a deep-seated hatred for their own three clans!"

After understanding the purpose of these people's visit, Zhao Gao was not flustered at all; on the contrary, his expression became even more stern.

His words did indeed cause many people to stop in their tracks.

In this situation, Liu Xuan, who had just made those bold pronouncements, was in a very awkward position.

He truly hadn't expected that Zhao Gao would intimidate all of them with just a few words.

This is fucking ridiculous!

You were the ones who brought me here to seize power, and now you're the ones backing down!

So you're all on Zhao Gao's side, just trying to push me out, huh?

Liu Xuan now even suspects that Zhao Meng and the others might be in cahoots with Liu Xiu.

"Are you plotting against me to avenge Liu Yan and use me as a bargaining chip to surrender to Liu Xiu?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao's smile grew even more ferocious, and the look in his eyes became even more contemptuous.

"Liu Xuan, you overestimate your own importance."

"Who do you think you are? What can you get in return for your head?"

"To put it bluntly, your head is no longer yours. If Liu Xiu wins, it will be his; if he loses, whether your head will still be on your neck is up to us."

"Guards, take these people away. Slaughter the executioners. Take Lord Zhao and the others back to their residence to reflect on their actions. They are not allowed to leave the house without our permission."

Zhao Gao clapped his hands twice, and suddenly hundreds of elite soldiers surged out from all around.

Are you kidding me? Me, Zhao Gao, the Prime Minister of Qin, would I fall in the same place twice?

Ziying killed him once using this method, and Liu Xuan, with his wrath, thinks he can replicate it a second time?

Who are you looking down on?

Seeing that most people were about to be dragged away, Zhao Gao suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, kill Lord Zhao Meng too, confiscate his property, demote the men to slavery, and send the women to the brothel."

"With internal and external troubles looming, we need to make an example of someone. Lord Zhao shouldn't mind being that chicken, right?"
