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

"what!?"

Only after Xiao He reminded him did Cao Shen recall many details from what had just happened.

For example, Fan Kuai, who secretly blocked the door under Li Er's subtle hints.

And the hand that silently rested on the hilt of the sword.

Under the cover of Li Er's treasonous remarks, he really didn't notice.

But now, thinking about it, I can't help but feel a chill down my spine.

"Could it be that Liu Laosan really wanted to kill us just now?"

“I think you can remove the ‘door’ at the end. From the moment he opened his mouth, he was almost certain that I wouldn’t refuse him, so if you do refuse, only you will die.”

Xiao He corrected Cao Can's statement.

"That's why I stopped you from speaking just now."

"Cao Shen, our third brother has lofty ambitions!"

Those who achieve great things are not careful about the little things.

Many people understand this principle, but few can actually put it into practice!

But Li Er, whom he had met earlier, truly made him realize this.

Ruthless and unscrupulous!

"But he almost killed us!"

"If we really go against his madness, we don't know when we'll die at his hands!"

Cao Shen felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and he got up to leave.

Xiao He, however, pressed him down first.

"He hasn't gone mad. At least what he said just now was feasible, and even highly feasible."

“Cao Shen, after hearing what he said today, I know that Brother Liu is destined for great things. Although this is dangerous, it is also our greatest opportunity.”

"You need to think carefully about whether you want to rise to the top overnight or live a mediocre life."

His tone was extremely solemn.

Cao Shen wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Xiao He's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he spoke, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped.

But only for that one moment. When he tried to confirm it again, all he saw in Xiao He's eyes was sincerity.

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

Xiao He may not have heard this saying before, but he understood the principle behind it.

"Of course I also want to rise to the top in one step..."

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Cao Can felt as if he were having another delusion.

He felt as if he heard Xiao He breathe a sigh of relief, and the chill around him seemed to have lessened somewhat.

"But is Liu Laosan really a wise leader? Can he lead us to instant success?"

Ignoring those misconceptions, Cao Can continued to ask.

"If it weren't for today, I wouldn't be sure, but now I can say with certainty that among the people we can contact, he is the only one we can choose!"

This is not only because of what he said today, but also because of the good reputation that Liu Bang had built up as a chivalrous knight-errant.

He was kind and generous to the people, benevolent and righteous to his brothers and friends, and when discussing important matters, he was neither pedantic nor preoccupied with trivialities.

Most importantly, he seemed to have already made up his mind.

In this situation, if Xiao He was unwilling to remain subservient to others for an extended period, he could not find a more suitable candidate.

"You think so highly of him?"

Cao Shen was astonished.

"Don't try to test me. Neither of us is suited for great things, and saying more now would be useless."

"Don't forget the bet I just made with my third brother. He has to bring back Zhang Kaidi's grandson before I will follow him."

"If even someone like Zhang Zifang is impressed by him, then what reason do I have to hesitate?"

"In terms of background, ability, and reputation, what aspect of us can compare to Zhang Zifang?"

After hearing these words, Cao Shen began to doubt the meaning of life.

Xiao He's words were all reasonable.

But he just couldn't understand why Li Er was so confident in recruiting someone as brilliant as Zhang Liang.

Because he's old?

Is it because he doesn't take a bath?

"What if he hadn't brought Zhang Liang back?"

"That's a story for another time. At least today, his view on the state of the world has won my heart."

……

"Third Brother, do you really intend to rebel?"

After leaving Xiao He's house, Fan Kuai found a quiet moment when no one was around and asked in a low voice.

"The word 'treason' is used in a rather unpleasant way."

Li Er shook his head slightly.

"The current imperial court employs numerous cruel punishments, imposes heavy taxes, and frequently conscripts laborers. Although we are managing to get by, you can see how other people in Pei County are living, right?"

“People are living in misery!”

Fan Kuai hadn't read many books, but he only knew these four words from Xiao He when he remarked on them.

But these four words are also perfectly applicable at this moment.

The Great Wall, Mount Li, Epang Palace, and so on.

The frequent conscription of corvée labor left most families without able-bodied men during busy farming seasons.

At the same time, taxes have remained high.

"Then tell me again, what are we trying to do?"

Li Er smiled and asked in return.

Fan Kuai scratched his head, blinked his big, adorable eyes, and after a moment uttered two words.

"uprising!"

"That's right, it's an uprising!"

"If the imperial court won't give the people a way to survive, I will!"

The First Emperor couldn't set the precedent of enfeoffment, but he could!

Once Emperor Gaozu of Han set the precedent of enfeoffment, it was like spilled water that could not be turned back; he was able to do just that!

There was no way around it; having come to this Qin Dynasty with the perspective of later generations, Li Er was just that arrogant!

"Why do I get the feeling that Li Er is having too much fun?"

Although Li Er did not say some things aloud, many people outside the canopy could still understand them.

He's trying to accomplish something in one generation!

The true unification began with the First Emperor, but complete unification came under the rule of Emperor Wu of Han.

But Li Er's idea was to complete the great undertaking accumulated by several generations in one generation!

"They probably got carried away with their fun. Even if they knew the drawbacks of the Qin Dynasty and the brilliant Emperor Wu of Han's Edict of Grace, it would have been almost impossible for one generation to accomplish such a great feat."

Zhao Kuangyin directly predicted the downfall of Zhao Kuangyin.

It's not that I don't believe in Li Er's abilities, but the difficulty of this matter is far beyond what one generation can solve.

"It's not impossible, is it? It depends on how long Li Er can live. If he can live a little longer, it might not be impossible."

Liu Bang thought for a moment and said.

If we can overthrow the Qin Dynasty as quickly as possible and crush the Chu-Han Contention in its infancy with overwhelming force.

That would give you ample time to do this.

"That's true. When you were young, Emperor Gaozu, you also enfeoffed kings of different surnames, but you eliminated them all later."

"What Li Er needs to do is to eliminate the Liu family princes as well. It will be difficult, but not impossible."

Although Lao Zhu also felt that the goal was set too high.

However, if the person carrying it out is Li Er, then there is a chance.

After all, in his heart, Li Er was the strongest contender for the title of the greatest emperor of all time!

"Then let's see if his first step is strong enough and steady enough."

"After all, I am not dead yet at this point in time!"

If you're too cautious, then taking this step ahead becomes largely meaningless.

However, if one acts too aggressively, the imperial court is very likely to notice and forcefully suppress them!

However, just as Ying Zheng was filled with anticipation, the expert at rubbing salt in the wound spoke up again.

"Whether you're dead or not is no longer important. You're already close to death from taking too many pills anyway. At this point, all your energy is focused on pursuing immortality. You don't have time to care about anything else."

Ying Zheng: “…”
