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

"..."

"How should I put it? After being exposed by Ziying, I'm afraid there's really no one who can outmaneuver Zhao Gao when it comes to such methods, right?"

The personnel who were lying in ambush were only recently recalled.

In other words, Zhao Gao had anticipated this event before Liu Xuan and others forced him to abdicate, and had taken countermeasures against it.

"Unfortunately, no matter how skilled he is at such methods, it is not enough for him to become a qualified prime minister."

"Domestic affairs are a complete mess, and the military is just as bad, with no tolerance whatsoever."

"I even have some doubts. If Emperor Guangwu was the chosen one born to restore the Han Dynasty, then was Zhao Gao a scourge born to destroy the Qin Dynasty?"

Li Er (Li Er) clearly understood the principle of making bold conjectures and carefully proving them.

He mainly felt that both of them were amazing.

First, it saved a dynasty that was on the verge of collapse, a dynasty that had swept across the land and unified the country!

"It's getting more and more outrageous!"

The veins on Liu Xiu's forehead immediately bulged.

The sky screen was just something for everyone to discuss, and he didn't care about that.

But Li Er's guess that he and Zhao Gao were the same kind of people was going too far!

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

"Zhao Gao really does have that kind of potential!"

Before Liu Xiu could even utter a curse, Old Zhu agreed first.

He really thought Zhao Gao was a very strange person.

If you were to call him stupid, he wouldn't really be considered stupid!

How could a fool so quickly persuade Li Si to order the death of Fusu after the First Emperor's death at Shaqiu, and then use Huhai to control the entire Qin Dynasty?

But you could say he's not a stupid person.

How could they possibly squander the entire Qin dynasty's foundation in just a few years?

That guy, even the hundreds of thousands of elite Qin soldiers wouldn't be enough for him to build.

If he had used his brain even a little, he wouldn't have suffered repeated defeats.

Even in many people's minds, the Qin Dynasty did not put up any strong resistance and was almost driven to its doorstep by the rebel army.

Therefore, Li Er's words made Old Zhu somewhat agree.

Everything that is happening right now is also confirming this statement.

With lightning speed, he turned Emperor Gengshi into a puppet and became the actual ruler of the Gengshi court.

That kind of coercion and enticement is enough to confuse anyone.

Even Zhu could only condemn Zhao Gao from a moral standpoint.

Such methods are unethical and risky, but efficient and useful.

But after gaining power above all others, Zhao Gao's cerebellum seemed to shrink.

First, they missed the perfect opportunity to hunt down Liu Xiu, and then they sent their generals away like vegetables being delivered to the ground.

It wasn't until Zhao Meng conspired with Liu Xuan to seize back power that intelligence regained its footing.

In summary, they're experts at internal strife but incompetent at external conflicts.

It's not an exaggeration to say that he existed specifically to bring down the Qin Dynasty!

"You've gone too far, everyone!"

Seeing that these people's guesses were getting increasingly outrageous, Liu Xiu quickly stopped them.

If we let them continue to let their imaginations run wild, it probably won't be long before their names are mentioned alongside Zhao Gao's in the mouths of future generations.

Even if Zhao Gao is presented as a negative example, it is still somewhat shameful to be ranked alongside such a person.

Liu Xiu was not only an expert in internal warfare, but also in external warfare!

Fortunately, Li Er and the others did not intend to dwell on this topic any further.

They were eager to know how Zhao Gao would struggle next.

Or rather, how much longer will it take Zhao Gao to completely destroy the Gengshi dynasty?

Judging from the current trend, it probably won't last much longer.

However, contrary to most people's expectations, it was Liu Xuan who was the first to give in.

Three days after his failed power grab, Liu Xuan was found soaking in the pond in the back garden for three days.

When he was pulled out of the water, his whole body was swollen seven or eight times larger. If it weren't for the dragon robe he was wearing, probably no one would have been able to recognize him.

But Zhao Gao acted even more decisively than he said.

Not only Zhao Meng, but the entire clan of those who participated in the power grab that day was exterminated, along with the executioners.

But while he was doing all this, Liu Xiu had already headed south.

When Zhao Gao received another battle report from the front lines, Guanzhong had already been completely pacified.

Liu Xiu was willing to grant those who surrendered their original official positions and titles.

With Zhu Wei as an example, everyone can see that even when facing the enemy who killed his brother, Liu Xiu can accept him without holding a grudge, let alone other people with whom he has no grudges.

Given the current situation, anyone who isn't blind can see the situation clearly.

The Green Forest Army was doomed. Apart from the Red Eyebrow Army, which had always been their enemy, Liu Xiu was the only one left who was the most competitive and had the best chance of restoring the Han Dynasty in this struggle for power.

Countless generals who had been forced by Zhao Gao to go to the border chose to defect.

Even though their families were under Zhao Gao's control, they didn't trust him, so Zhao Gao didn't want to leave himself a way out.

As long as Zhao Gao helps Liu Xiu gain the world, he must never completely break ties with them if he wants to live!

The family members they left in Zhao Gao's hands were merely a facade between the two!

Those who defect all share similar thoughts.

Since Zhao Gao was able to control the entire Gengshi court in a short period of time and even manipulate them all, he must have been a smart man who could weigh the pros and cons.

Any intelligent person would not truly put themselves in danger.

But they forgot one thing.

Zhao Gao was not a normal person.

His way of doing things, what he will do and what he will not do, are completely beyond the comprehension of common sense.

Before choosing Liu Xuan, he had already cut off his own escape route.

He even killed Hu Hai, so what else could he possibly care about?

"The Grand Chancellor, they, they..."

When the latest military report arrived, the eunuch dared not read it aloud even though the soldier had already dictated it once.

"They surrendered?"

He didn't need to read any further; Zhao Gao had already guessed the outcome.

Just like during the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Han surrendered in the same way.

"The scouts reported that Liu Xiu had persuaded Zhu Wei to surrender and had retained his title and status. Upon seeing this, most people surrendered to Liu Xiu."

"They even sent word that if the Prime Minister were willing to surrender, he might be able to enjoy the life of a wealthy man for life."

"They even came to persuade us to surrender? Who gave them the guts?"

Zhao Gao remained expressionless.

"The one we were willing to surrender to back then was Liu Bang, his ancestor!"

"Who does Liu Xiu think he is? A rich man, indeed?"

"He's far inferior to Liu Bang. What Liu Bang promised us was the position of prime minister!"

“Send someone to kill the envoy and send his head back.”

"And while you're at it, slaughter their families too, hang their heads outside the city gates, and let them see the consequences of betraying us!"

……

"Emperor Gaozu of Han? You really promised him the position of Chancellor back then?"

"what?"

"I seem to be..."

It seems there really is!
