The King of Qin had heard that he was powerful and well versed in the law, so he was promoted to become the Central Chariot Palace's Emperor with the order of the law. He also let him teach his son, Hu Hai, how to judge a case and break it down, and as Zhao Gao was good at observation and flattery, he quickly gained the appreciation and trust of the First Emperor of Qin and Hu Hai.
In the fifth trip out of First Emperor of Qin in October of thirty-seven years, the original emperor who was more than half a hundred years old fell ill. Although he had been searching for an immortal secret recipe and "died from evil" all his life, he was still unable to resist the effects of sickness and death. As his sickness worsened day by day, First Emperor of Qin knew that his time had come.
He weighed the twenty odd sons one by one and felt that although Hu Hai was loved the most by him, he was useless and useless. His eldest son, Fu Su, had always disagreed with his views on politics, but he was a 'resolute and courageous' person who worked hard to trust others'. Besides, according to the inheritance system of the eldest son, it should be passed down to him.
Immediately, the First Emperor stopped hesitating and summoned Zhao Gao, who was in charge of managing both the Emperor's Seal and the order, to prepare an imperial edict for his eldest son, Fu Su. At that time, the Emperor ordered him to entrust the military to Meng Tian, and rush back to the Xianyang to take charge of the funeral. After the imperial edict was sealed, the Emperor ordered Zhao Gao to send out an envoy immediately.
In July, the First Emperor of Qin passed away on the sand dune platform. Zhao Gao found Li Si Chen in the middle of the night and spoke of the benefits and harm, using both soft and hard methods, he finally persuaded Li Si to be the leader of the group, and conspired to usurp the edict and change it into a Crown Prince under the orders of the First Emperor. In addition, he also created an imperial edict and sent it to the Upper Regions, giving it to Fu Su and Meng Tian to kill themselves for being "unfaithful and unfilial."
In order to show the dignity of the emperor, he had imitated the First Emperor's style and toured along the eastern front all the way to the beach in the spring of the first year. He went back to the south and returned from Liaodong. In addition, he also cultivated E Panggong to the point that he needed 50 thousand strong warriors to guard the Xianyang to gather all kinds of rare flowers, herbs, birds, and beasts. He also had tens of thousands of beautiful women to play with, every day and night raping all over his body to such an extent that "Xianyang was not allowed to eat anything within a three hundred mile radius".
At that time, the Qin Dynasty was already in a dangerous situation where dangers lurked in all directions. The deep tax citizen is the public official "," the mass murderer is the loyal official ". Heavy cortege taxes and cruel and harsh criminal laws made the people miserable, and the old nobles of the six countries plotted day and night to restore the mountains. All sorts of complicated contradictions interweaved, and finally ignited a raging fire against Qin, erupting into a peasant uprising led by Long Tianyu.
However, at this moment, there was already a deathly storm sweeping around outside Xianyang City. Although Xiang Yu and her fifty thousand elite troops were not as strong in terms of numbers and momentum, their combat power far surpassed that of the Qin Army.
Both sides did not dare to shoot arrows to avoid harming their own soldiers. Chu Army's battle became even more intense.
In a few rounds of horse fight, he had killed four or five Qin Army riders. After exchanging a dozen rounds with Sima Xin, with a wave of his halberd, he injured Sima Xin and caused him to fall from his horse.
Ying Bu and Long Qie led their troops and rushed out from the two wings. Their troops were only at ten thousand man forces, but they had completely scattered Qin Army, who had three times the number of people on her side.
Seeing that the Heavens had given him the chance, Xiang Yu led the way into the Qin Army's heavy armors formation, causing the iron cavalry to rain down, the iron armor to become sharp, and the war horses to howl in pain, instantly turning the Qin Army's corpse into minced meat, some of the Xiang Jun's troops had also been pierced through the back of their horses, causing blood to flow like a river.
The yellow sandstorm caused the flags to flutter and howl like ghosts crying and howling. In addition to the screams, clashing sounds and hissing sounds, it was just like the miserable scene in hell on earth.
The Chu Army was moving closer and closer to the position of the Qin Army, but in the eyes of Zhang Han and the guards of the city gate tower, they were covered by sand and they could not see the situation of the battlefield.
Within the Xianyang's Forbidden Palace, Prime Minister Zhao Gao was accompanying Hu Hai the Second to the Orchid Lake Golden Hall.
He had been watching the battle from the top of the city gate tower, and after hearing that the officials from the civil and military officials had said that the war against the Qin Army would be won, he calmed down and continued to dream his beautiful spring and autumn dream. When a beauty comes out of the bath, her skin will be tender and her flesh tender … "
If he did not make his move soon, he feared that the future would be full of troubles for him. Ah, the First Emperor, ah, the First Emperor, you can't blame me for this, my Zhao Mai Clan was almost wiped out by the Qin Soldier in Handan back then, and now your Ying Family is going to suffer too.
Then, he raised the carriage curtain, and the green bricks on the side of the palace path flashed past him, the wheels moved forward, and entered the Lanchi Palace door.
Although Hu Hai was in a coma, he still focused a little on his own defense, preventing the scene of "Jing Ke stabbing the King of Qin" from happening again. As the world was in a mess today, there were a lot of assassin swordsmen who were willing to risk their lives.
Hu Hai suddenly thought of something, and laughed proudly: "The three thousand swordsmen in the palace were recruited from all over the world by us, and we specially dealt with sudden incidents. During this year, none of the assassins sent by the Mo family, rejuvenating countries, or heaven's net to assassinate us were able to step into the Golden Hall, and were all killed outside the hall, which is why we were able to rest at ease!"
Zhao Gao nodded and praised, "Your majesty is wise!" However, there was a trace of ridicule on the corners of his mouth, and he thought: Speaking of the powerful swordsmen, generals and officials of the royal family in Great Qin, who could compare to the assassination organisations that I have controlled with my own hands? Even in the hands of the royal family's golden sword, there are many trusted aides and henchmen involved, I wonder how Second Brother Zhao Cheng is preparing for this battle.
Hu Hai alighted the carriage and walked up the stairs, walking towards the brilliant, golden hall. Zhao Gao walked along with him, the stone steps were flanked by densely packed guards, and with every step upwards, the surrounding guards would kneel down and bow to the emperor. Second Hu Hai sighed to Zhao Gao, "We have already descended upon the world, if we could enjoy the joy of living and realize all of our wishes, how great would that be!"
Suddenly, an arrow shot up to the sky from the north gate outside the palace. The sound of killing rang out in all directions as it headed straight for the inner palace.
Hu Hai turned pale with fright, and said angrily: "Could it be that the allied army has already invaded the city, Prime Minister, didn't you say that Zhang Han will definitely win?"
Zhao Gao was now like a chicken eating fireflies, he understood clearly, and replied: "Your Majesty, the allied forces are fighting in the south side of Xianyang, with the current chaos at the north gate, it is definitely not the Chu Army's troops, maybe the other thieves are attacking the palace from the shadows, this official will bring the guards along to suppress them, Your Majesty, do not be nervous."
Hu Hai nodded in panic, and shouted: "Then why are you still not going, don't waste time, lead the elite guards to immediately exterminate the traitors, rebel against us, f * cking rebel, kill all of us and destroy the nine clans!"
Zhao Gao replied submissively: "Yes, this subject will do it right away." He turned around and commanded the several thousand guards to rush to the north gate.
Hu Hai's mood turned anxious and he spoke to the eunuch beside him: "Gather swordsmen to defend the inner force palace hall, so as to not let the rebels come in and hurt our dragon body." He shook his sleeve and flew towards the Audience Hall in anger.
On one side was the general of the Zhao Family disguised as a peasant army, while on the other side was the members of the mysterious assassin organization. Thousands of tightly armored swordsmen fiercely attacked and rushed into the palace, killing anyone who saw them.
