No matter what, he, the son of the Zhu family, is first-class when it comes to riding horses and fighting.
And his great-great-great-grandson did not disappoint him at all.
Although... the approach is a bit ridiculous.
[It is said that after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he rarely lived in the palace, either in the Leopard Room or in the Zhenguo Palace. Speaking of these two places, we also affectionately call them home. 】
【In his eyes, the Forbidden City is just a large and gorgeous prison, which prevents him from being free and happy. Even if the emperor didn't have to be him, he wouldn't even bother to be the emperor. 】
[In the last episode, we once wondered whether the Zhengde Emperor relied on luck or strength to secure the throne. 】
[In the opinion of the up owner, the Zhengde Emperor certainly relied on his strength. There is no harm without comparison. Let's compare him with the two emperors in history who were in similar situations. 】
[First, Hu Hai. Compare the Liu Jin incident. 】
Hu Hai?
Qin Shihuang frowned and looked at his youngest son aside, only to see that he was looking at the scroll in a confused manner, as if he had no idea what the words in the scroll meant.
Qin Shihuang knew this youngest son best. He had no merit except his birth, and he knew that even if he was completely blind, he would never be able to choose him to inherit the throne of the Qin Empire among more than a dozen sons.
Unless one day he even replaces his belt bones.
Thinking of this, he glanced hard at the two people kneeling on the ground, without concealing the disgust on his face.
Li Si is indeed talented, and he does use him, but compared with his Great Qin Empire, a mere Li Si is nothing.
He can continue to select talents and continue to look for suitable candidates for prime minister. But his Great Qin, the Great Qin that he had worked so hard to unify and conquer, must not let any slip-ups occur.
He was still surprised before, but now he finally understood how Liu Bang, a ruffian, overthrew his Qin.
It's not that Liu Bang is too capable, but because his Qin Dynasty died of an internal ghost.
As for Zhao Gao, he has also been investigated by others during these days, or some small things that he didn't care about before really came into his eyes.
"Zhao Gao, I remember that your family was once a member of the Zhao family?" Qin Shihuang said with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of sternness.
Zhao Gao shrank and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, didn't you already know this? My servant, my servant has told you this a long time ago."
"Yes, you did say that. But..." Qin Shihuang looked at the sky again.
[Zhao Gao corrected the imperial edict, killed Fusu, and allowed Hu Hai to ascend the throne. The purpose is to control the violent and cowardly Hu Hai in his own hands. 】
[Sure enough, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, under the control of Zhao Gao, he changed the laws and killed the clan. He also killed more than a dozen half-brothers. 】
【Afterwards, Hu Hai listened to Zhao Gao's slander and lived in seclusion without seeing his ministers. This allowed Zhao Gao to exercise power and rule, and then allowed him to kill Prime Minister Li Si who supported him on the throne. In the end, Zhao Gao, an eunuch, was made prime minister. 】
[Not only that, Hu Hai also allowed Zhao Gao to turn a deer into a horse, and let Zhao Gao fabricate charges and killed a large number of meritorious officials who refused to join him. 】
[In addition, when Hu Hai was in power, he conscripted people violently, overhauled the palace, and forcibly recruited civilians. Although most of them were instigated by Zhao Gao, it can be said that all the tragic things that were criticized in later generations for Qin Shihuang's cruelty and cruelty were all done by this Qin II. 】
【However, in later generations, people only said that King Qin was tyrannical, but they did not know that King Qin was no longer the Qin Shihuang who unified the world, but only the second generation Hu Hai. 】
【The second Qin emperor had only been on the throne for three years. When Liu Bang's army was about to approach Xianyang, he was abandoned by Zhao Gao and forced to commit suicide. 】
[In other words, the sons of the First Emperor all died three years after his death. 】【After Hu Hai was forced to die, Zhao Gao actually had plans to usurp the throne. If the ministers hadn't refused to obey, he might have realized his wish. 】
【Later, he could only support Zi Ying, a clan member of the Qin Dynasty royal family, to the throne, but he was designed to kill him. In addition to not being cut to pieces by a thousand swords, like Liu Jin, he was also killed by the Yi clan. 】
[Unfortunately, Prince Ying of Qin only became the king of forty-six days. Xianyang was conquered by Liu Bang, and the Qin Dynasty perished. Not long after, he was also killed by the Overlord of Chu. 】
Qin Shi Huang raised his head and looked at Tianjuan with deep eyes: "All my sons died! It seems that this is your revenge on my great Qin. I really didn't see that you could endure this. When I die, I will slaughter all my descendants."
Zhao Gao trembled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I have no such idea. It was Tianjuan who framed me!
Your Majesty, if you think about it, I would have many opportunities to get close to your Majesty. As you said, we have already started, why wait until the six countries are unified and Zhao is destroyed?”
What Zhao Gao said does make sense. As his most trusted servant before and after he ascended the throne, Zhao Gao did have many opportunities to assassinate him. However, sometimes, good and evil are just a matter of thoughts.
"What you said may make sense. However, when I was still a proton, I just wanted to return to Xianyang as soon as possible; after I returned to Xianyang, I wanted to become the prince as soon as possible; after I became the prince, I just wanted to How will I carry out my grand plans after I ascend the throne? And after I ascend the throne, I look forward to taking charge as soon as possible..."
Withdrawing the Qin Wang Sword that he carried with him, Qin Shihuang walked down the imperial steps step by step and walked towards Zhao Gao.
"After I took charge, I was thinking about how to conquer the six countries in the east one by one and unify Liuhe. Now, what I am thinking about is how to make our country of Qin last forever."
“The human heart can never be satisfied!”
At this point, Qin Shihuang walked up to Zhao Gao and stabbed him with a sword, hitting him in the heart.
Zhao Gao groaned, and then fell to the ground without making any movement.
"Drag him out to feed the dogs." Dragging the bloody sword and looking at Zhao Gao's body being slowly dragged away, His Majesty the First Emperor said coldly, "You haven't had the chance to kill my heirs yet. To be fair, I will give you a good pleasure."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Si next to him. Li Si looked pale, but he was still kneeling upright, not showing much timidity.
He was also startled by what happened to him in later generations, and he understood that he was doomed this time, so he said in a dry voice: "Your Majesty, can you let me listen to the words of this heavenly scroll? You execute me again.”
Qin Shihuang said no more, turned around and returned to the imperial steps, looking at Tianjuan again.
[If you look carefully, Zhao Gao’s path of usurping power is almost exactly the same as Liu Jin’s later approach. At least that's what it looks like on the surface. 】
【For example, he instigated the relationship between the king and his ministers, coerced the ministers, intended to kill the king, attempted to usurp the throne, and even ended up being executed by the three Yi tribes. 】
【What about the result? 】
[Emperor Zhengde continued to be his emperor peacefully, but Hu Hai was forced to commit suicide. 】
