Bang!
A loud crash startled everyone.
Qin Shi Huang was furious. He kicked over his chair and scolded, Hu Hai! This rebellious son! To be so cruel as to slaughter thirty-three of his own siblings, not even sparing his own sisters!
Yinman... my Yinman!
As he spoke, he nearly fainted on the spot from anger and grief.
Men! Bring Zhao Gao back to me! Letting him die just like that is far too easy for him! Ying Zheng roared.
Zhao Gao was Hu Hai's teacher. For Hu Hai to become such a monster in the future, Zhao Gao bore an absolutely undeniable responsibility.
Originally, in Ying Zheng's eyes, killing a traitor like Zhao Gao was just a matter of executing him.
But now, he did not want the man to die so easily.
Soon, a heavily armed commander of the Black Ice Guards escorted Zhao Gao back into the hall.
At this moment, Zhao Gao had already fainted from terror and was thrown onto the ground like a dead dog.
Your Majesty, Zhao Gao has been brought here, the Black Ice Guard commander said.
Very good.
Ying Zheng took a deep breath and continued, Zhang Han, you will immediately lead fifty Black Ice Guards back to Xianyang and arrest all three branches of Zhao Gao's family. If anyone dares to resist, kill them without mercy!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Zhang Han, the commander of the Black Ice Guards, acknowledged the order and was about to withdraw.
At this moment, Qin Ning suddenly spoke up, Wait.
Does Mister have any other instructions? Qin Shi Huang asked, puzzled.
Qin Ning smiled faintly, There's no need for such trouble. I can just take you all back to Xianyang together.
With those words, he waved his arm.
The next moment, everyone in the temporary palace who was accompanying Qin Shi Huang on his eastern tour vanished from their spots.
Ying Zheng, Li Si, and the others only felt a flash of white before their eyes.
When their vision recovered, they realized that they had actually returned to the Xianyang Palace.
Soon, Qin Shi Huang issued a series of orders to have Zhao Gao's entire clan arrested and summoned all the court officials.
The ministers were all astonished, not understanding why the First Emperor, who was supposed to be on his eastern tour, had suddenly returned.
Your Majesty, Hu Hai has been brought here.
At that moment, outside the hall doors, Zhang Han brought in a securely bound Hu Hai and threw him down next to Zhao Gao.
Many officials were surprised. The Right Prime Minister, Feng Quji, stepped forward. Your Majesty, may I ask what crime the Eighteenth Prince has committed to be apprehended in such a manner?
What crime?
Qin Shi Huang coldly snorted, This rebellious son not only destroyed the foundation of my Great Qin, but was also so bloodthirsty and cruel that he murdered all thirty-three of his brothers and sisters. Because of him, Qin perished in its second generation!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, their expressions changing drastically.
Feng Quji said, Why does Your Majesty say this? When did the Eighteenth Prince ever do such things? Furthermore, how could our Great Qin... possibly perish in its second generation?
Faced with the inquiries and curiosity of Feng Quji and the others, Qin Shi Huang took a deep breath, and then briefly recounted to everyone what Qin Ning had just said inside the Langya Palace.
After hearing this, everyone's first reaction was that it felt unreal.
Future generations? An Immortal Master? These things sounded even more absurd than the First Emperor's pursuit of immortality.
Gentlemen, there is no need to doubt. Just a moment ago, His Majesty and I were still at the Langya Palace. It was the Immortal Master's divine abilities that brought us directly back here, Li Si spoke up.
Hearing this, Feng Quji frowned deeply. If that is truly the case... Your Majesty, Li Si committed treason and his three clans should be exterminated.
What the heck!
Hearing this, Li Si almost coughed up blood, yet he was completely speechless.
As for Li Si's faults, I will deal with them later. Right now, let us first discuss how to handle Zhao Gao and this rebellious son of mine, Hu Hai, Ying Zheng stated.
At this time, the tied-up Hu Hai began to struggle. Imperial Father, I am wronged! Those are all demonic lies, how can they be easily believed? How could your son... how could I possibly slaughter my own siblings, and how could I possibly be the Second Emperor of Qin...
Shut up!
The First Emperor glared at him, then looked toward Qin Ning again. Mister, after my death, what else did this rebellious son do besides slaughtering his siblings?
Obviously, the reason for Great Qin's demise in the second generation could not possibly be just that.
In the hall, Li Si, Feng Quji, and the others also pricked up their ears, equally eager to know what happened next.
Qin Ning remained slightly silent, as if brewing something in his mind, before speaking a moment later, In the first year of the Second Emperor of Qin, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled in Dazexiang, shouting, 'Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with their status?'
The meaning of this slogan is: are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers naturally born as noble breeds? It expresses that ordinary people can also change their destinies through effort and should not be limited by their birth.
This was the first peasant uprising in history, and it also started the countdown to the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Li Si was surprised. A peasant uprising? Was my Great Qin ultimately overthrown by peasants?
Qin Ning did not answer, but continued, After Hu Hai took the throne, he engaged in massive construction projects and increased taxes and corvee labor, leaving the people with no means of livelihood. Right Prime Minister Feng Quji and General Feng Jie were imprisoned for advising him to reduce the labor burdens.
Hearing this, Feng Quji was instantly furious. If Qin Shi Huang hadn't been right in front of him, he would have rushed up and given Hu Hai a few good kicks.
With the Right Prime Minister imprisoned, wouldn't Left Prime Minister Li Si possess overwhelming power? Could it be that our Great Qin perished in the second generation because Li Si monopolized the court? someone spoke up.
Damn it!
Li Si went completely numb, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.
Just a moment ago, His Majesty had intended to spare him and not hold him accountable for the time being.
If Qin Ning were to actually say right now that Qin's downfall was because of him, he was afraid he wouldn't survive the day!
Qin Shi Huang also looked toward Qin Ning, wanting to know the answer.
Qin Ning gently shook his head. 'I wish I could again take a yellow dog with you out of the eastern gate of Shangcai to hunt the cunning hare, but how can that ever be?'
These were Li Si's last words.
In the second year of the Second Emperor of Qin, Li Si was framed by Zhao Gao, sentenced to the five punishments, cut in half at the waist in the public market, and his three clans were exterminated.
Before the execution, Li Si said to his second son: 'I want so much to again lead a yellow dog with you out the eastern gate of Shangcai to chase wild hares. Can this still be realized?'
Hearing this, Li Si felt incomparable grief in his heart, his mind already able to picture that scene.
At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, muttering to himself, Thank goodness, thank goodness, Qin perishing in the second generation was not the fault of my monopolizing the court... Wait! What am I happy about? My three clans were entirely exterminated!
Thinking about it, he only felt dizzy and nearly lost his breath.
Zhao Gao again! What a fine Zhao Gao! Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly.
From Qin Ning's words, he could naturally hear that the chief culprit behind all of this was Zhao Gao.
Let's put Li Si's matter aside for now and continue our previous topic. In the first year of the Second Emperor of Qin, after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, they gathered over a hundred thousand people in a short period of time. In the following year, they attacked Hangu Pass, and during this time, the Six States also took the opportunity to restore their kingdoms.
Qin Shi Huang was silent at first, then sighed. Peasant uprisings, the restoration of the Six States. My Great Qin... is in grave danger.

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples.
