Although Zhao Gao is a slave in the palace, he is smart, sensible and clever. But he didn't want to be driven. He has been waiting for the chance to change his fate. At that time, there were eunuchs in countries such as Qin, and Zhao Gao saw hope. Zhao Gao studied law hard, wrote well, and with his tact, he was very likable in the palace. Through his own efforts, Zhao Gao finally got the favor of Qin Shihuang, and was given the Central Car Decree. Zhao Gao was loved by the first emperor, but he was not satisfied. He wants to have more power. To this end, he tried his best to find opportunities for himself. Fu Su, the eldest son of the emperor, is far superior to other sons in talent and is a loyal and honest minister. Fu Su repeatedly advised the first emperor to reduce torture, so he angered the first emperor and asked Fu Su to go to Montaigne as a military supervisor. Although the emperor didn't like Fu Su, he loved his ten-year-old son Hu Hai very much. Fu Su, a gifted scholar in Zhao Gao, was alienated by the first emperor, but he loved the mediocre Hu Hai. Zhao Gao tried his best to please Hu Hai, so he played with Hu Hai every day and taught him calligraphy and prison rules.
in 21 BC, Qin Shihuang set sail for the fifth time. Hu Hai likes traveling, so he wants to go with his father. In order to please Hu Hai, Zhao Gao put in a good word for him in front of the first emperor, who finally agreed to take Hu Hai on a boat trip. However, the emperor fell ill during the cruise, so he hurried back to Xianyang. Emperor Shi arrived at the sand dune and felt that his time had come. He wrote a letter asking Zhao Gao to send an envoy to Fu Su. Before the messenger delivered the letter, the emperor Shi died.
Li called Zhao Gao, Hu Hai and others to discuss, and finally decided not to send out the funeral in secret, and asked all his entourage to keep it a secret. Master Zhao holds the imperial edict, but he has ulterior motives. In order to gain supreme power, he must put Hu Hai on the throne. Zhao Gao went to see Hu Hai behind Reese's back and persuaded Hu Hai to listen to him. Lee had already seen Zhao Gao's intention and wanted to stop Zhao Gao, but he was finally persuaded by Zhao Gao. Li Si came from humble origins, but thanks to the promotion of the first emperor, he achieved today's achievements. If Fu Su ascended the throne, the position of Prime Minister will definitely fall into Montaigne's hands. In order to keep his position as prime minister, Li compromised with Zhao Gao, forged letters and made Hu Hai a prince. At the same time, he forged an imperial edict, giving Fu Su and Meng Tian a chance to kill themselves on charges of "unfaithfulness and unfilial". Fu Su committed suicide when he saw the imperial edict, but Meng Tian refused to commit suicide and was put in prison. Hu Hai became emperor with the help of Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao was appointed as a doctor. When Hu Hai became emperor, he only knew beer and skittles, regardless of state affairs. Meng Tian in prison guessed that the imperial edict was false, and Zhao Gao said to Hu Hai, "Without Meng Tian, your throne will be lost!" In order to secure Hu Hai's throne, Zhao Gao was asked to deal with it.
Zhao Gao was killed after being ordered. The Montessori brothers were the first to die at the hands of Master Zhao. Then he extended his talons to the other children of the first emperor. Only when the son is tall and his father is buried can he be spared. Zhao Gao eradicated all the people who threatened him, and then extended his way of governing the country to Hu Hai. Hu Hai let it go, and implemented laws that were even more cruel than those of the first emperor. It also requires thousands of people to overhaul Epang Palace and brutally suppress the people. Hu Hai just had fun every day, unaware that the mountains and rivers of the Qin Dynasty were already crumbling.
In 29 BC, a peasant uprising broke out in Chen Sheng and Guangwu. The minister explained it to Hu Hai, and he put them to death. As a result, no one dared to tell the truth in court. Although Li forged l
, Zhao Gao's ambition was even greater. In order to replace Hu Hai, he even directed the game. In 27 BC, Zhao Gao brought a deer to the court, but said that he would dedicate the horse to the emperor. Hu Hai said, this is a deer, not a horse. Onlookers are afraid of Zhao Gao saying it's a horse. But Hu Hai thought that he was very ill and could not tell the deer from the horse, so he asked Taibu to do divination. Taibu said it would be better for the emperor to fast, so Hu Hai went out to avoid disaster. Hu Hai, who only knew how to play, had no idea that the Qin Dynasty was already devastated at this time. The anti-Qin army has been victorious, and the rebels of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are invincible, which also accelerated the pace of the coup in Zhao Gao. He called Zhao Cheng and his cronies Yan Le to discuss the abolition of Hu Hai. Yan led the troops into Hu Hai Palace, and Hu Hai was forced to commit suicide. After Hu Hai's death, Zhao Gao announced his accession to the throne. Zhao Gao's accession to the throne failed to win the support of the people, and the courtiers shattered his dream of being an emperor in a silent way, so he had to spread the imperial edict to Zi Ying, Qin Ershi. Knowing what Zhao Gao had done, Zi Ying negotiated to get rid of Zhao Gao. Ziying pretended to be sick and refused to accept the decree. Zhao Gao had to come in person, only to be hacked to death by Zi Ying and Han Tan. After Zhao Gao's death, his three clans and his henchmen were wiped out. Zhao Gao, an arrogant careerist, never expected to shoot himself in the foot and end up with life and death. He really deserved it.
