After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

Zhu Qinggu listened to Zhao Gao's words, but she... couldn't understand them.

Fortunately, there are automatically translated subtitles here. When people from different dynasties were learning to read under the sky screen at the beginning, they listened to the sky screen and looked at the subtitles. The sky screen also made them understand what the words were, which is how they matched the words.

Zhao Gao's words are naturally the same now.

She sensed that Zhao Gao desperately needed the First Emperor's approval.

I glanced at the live stream chat again and realized everyone was very engaged.

(Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty: The First Emperor should listen to the whole thing before trying to scare him.)

(Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen Emperor: The First Emperor sticks out his tongue and tells Zhao Gao that he died a terrible death, and asks Zhao Gao to come down and join him.)

(Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen: The First Emperor is clearly going to ask questions. Won't this scare Zhao Gao to death?)

(Song Dynasty, Zhang Fangping: We can learn from Bao Zheng, who interrogated the underworld at night...)

Bao Zheng, standing beneath the canopy, frowned. Wasn't Zhang Fangping a peaceful gentleman? Why was he so vengeful?

(Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu: Find a flashlight, put it on your chin, slow down the volume, Zhao Gao, I died a terrible death~~~)

Everyone else under the canopy became idea generators; normally they worked independently, but now they had united as one.

It seems only gossip and fun can get everyone to act in unison.

Not only was Zhu Qinggu thoroughly enjoying himself, but even Bai Qin and the others couldn't hide their smiles.

That is, Ying Zheng cannot be seen inside.

But Ying Zheng also felt it was too sinister.

Right after Zhao Gao finished speaking, he added, "Your Majesty, you should really see how I rose to power step by step. Prince Huhai is young and trusts me as his teacher, while Li Si is not someone you can strategize with. Only I am capable of holding the reins of power..."

Just as Zhao Gao was lost in thought, a thunderous voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Zhao Gao, you all have some nerve!"

Zhao Gao was also stunned, his whole body stiffened, and he didn't even dare to turn around.

Those under the sky saw his eyes bulge out, while the First Emperor, who should have been dead, slowly sat up not far away.

"Zhao Gao, why do you dare not look at me?" Ying Zheng's voice was calm, but every word was unquestionable.

Zhao Gao thought it was an illusion. He had checked the emperor's pulse long ago and found it had stopped. Moreover, a day had passed, and His Majesty was beyond dead.

But when he slowly turned around and saw the First Emperor's corpse, which had been lying on the bed, now sitting up, looking down at him with an indifferent expression, Zhao Gao's mind went blank.

"Your Majesty, you...you're alive...?"

After saying that, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Ying Zheng: “…”

The comments on the screen above are still laughing.

(In the underworld scene, Your Majesty, you're alive!)

(This is hilarious! I feel like this could be listed alongside "Father! You're not dead!", Li Shimin beating up Li Longji, Zhao Kuangyin chasing after Zhao Ji, and the scene of the water being too cold as to be considered a classic.)

(Ms. Zhu's live streams always manage to find some unique angles.)

……

Zhu Qinggu, standing beneath the sky: "..." No, this wasn't her idea! It was the First Emperor's own idea!

She's not that kind of person! She's very composed and serious now, and that's been confirmed by Mr. Mao!

Ying Zheng's gaze lingered on Zhao Gao on the ground. Finally, he slowly rose to his feet. Several of Zhao Gao's confidants, who knew a little about the inside story, were terrified when they saw that it was not Zhao Gao who came out, but the First Emperor Ying Zheng. They knelt down and trembled.

Ying Zheng simply looked at the corner where Zhu Qinggu and the others had momentarily deactivated their optical invisibility and shook their heads at him.

Then continue with optical stealth.

Ying Zheng then summoned a group of guards and ordered them to surround the location of Li Si and Hu Hai and bring them over.

As long as he was there, he was the backbone. As long as he was there, these people would obey his orders. Even Zhao Gao, who was full of ulterior motives, was like this. As for Li Si and Hu Hai, it was naturally the same.

Even the remnants of the six kingdoms only dared to rebel after his death.

Ying Zheng wasn't worried at all about not being able to command these people. Even if they were all Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai's men, so what? Besides, they weren't.

Hu Hai was still dreaming, but for now he was still following his teacher Zhao Gao's advice to act cautiously. Once he returned to Xianyang, he would have nothing to fear!

And then he can do whatever he wants!

The first priority is to kill those brothers, and even the sisters must be killed.

Otherwise, who knows when a bloodline might suddenly emerge from somewhere?

Cut the weeds and wipe them out at the root...how interesting!

Li Si had already regretted his actions, especially seeing Hu Hai becoming increasingly arrogant. But as he had said before, it was just a matter of a moment's lapse in judgment. Things had come to this point, and it was just a matter of fighting.

Zhao Gao was gone for quite some time, but instead of Zhao Gao, the two of them were met by a guard who surrounded them.

The guards announced, "His Majesty summons you!"

Hu Hai laughed loudly, "Are you all muddle-headed? What kind of Your Majesty are you?"

But he soon faced the swords these people had raised.

Li Si also sensed something was amiss, secretly observing the situation, but a tidal wave of emotions surged within him. How could it be that His Majesty had summoned him? Could it be...?

An answer was obvious, but Li Si refused to believe it.

Are the so-called immortality claims of those alchemists true?

But Li Si had confirmed that His Majesty was indeed no longer breathing, so why was he being summoned now?

Or did Zhao Gao finally decide to get rid of them?

Li Si didn't speak, but dusted off his clothes and persuaded Hu Hai. He even slandered Hu Hai, saying that it was all Zhao Gao's doing and that Zhao Gao wanted to scare them.

Hu Hai felt a slight dissatisfaction with Zhao Gao, but still said, "My teacher would never do such a thing. Prime Minister, you are overthinking it."

When they arrived, they saw that the person they had speculated about was only a head hanging high, his eyes wide open, staring straight at them.

This greatly frightened Hu Hai and Li Si.

Zhao Gao's head was hanging there, so who summoned them here?

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a familiar voice came from inside the vehicle.

"Hu Hai, Li Si..."

The two people knelt down in perfect unison.

Hu Hai swallowed hard, his face covered in sweat.

……

(Ming Dynasty, Liu Rongxuan: They knelt so smoothly.)

(Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing: somewhat comical.)

(Han Dynasty, Liu Zhuang: If they don't kneel smoothly, they'll soon be hung up too.)

(Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty: Even if you kneel until your skin is smooth, you will still be hung up.)

(Princess Taiping of Tang Dynasty: That's true. The First Emperor had no soft spot for not killing his own son, right, Li Longji?)

(Li Longji of Tang Dynasty: ...)

Even Li Longji, who killed three sons in one day, never expected that he would still be able to be questioned.
