During the reign of Qin II, Zhao Gao, the chancellor, was ambitious and planned day and night to usurp the throne. But how many people in the DPRK and The Chinese Ministers could listen to his manipulation and how many people opposed him, he had no bottom in his heart. So he thought of a way to test his prestige, and at the same time to find out who dared to oppose him. One day, when he was on the throne, Zhao Gao asked people to lead a deer and said to Qin II with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, I offer you a good horse." When Qin II looked at it, he thought to himself: Where is this horse, this is clearly a deer! He smiled and said to Zhao Gao, "Xiang Xiang is mistaken, this is a deer, how can you say it is a horse?" Zhao Gaomian did not change his color and said without beating his heart: "Please see clearly, your majesty, this is indeed a thousand-mile horse." Qin II looked at the deer again, and said suspiciously, "How can a horse have horns on its head?" Zhao Gaoyi turned around, pointed his finger at the ministers, and said loudly, "If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can ask the ministers." The ministers were all overwhelmed by Zhao Gao's nonsense, and muttered privately: What is this Zhao Gao doing? Isn't it obvious that a deer is a horse! When they saw Zhao Gao's sinister smile on his face and his two eyes staring at everyone in turn, the ministers suddenly understood his intentions. Some timid and righteous people bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, because they were lying and sorry for their conscience, and they were afraid of being harmed by Zhao Gao in the future. Some upright people insist that it is a deer rather than a horse. There were also some traitors who usually followed Zhao Gao closely and immediately expressed their support for Zhao Gao's statement, saying to the emperor, "This is indeed a thousand-mile horse!" Afterwards, Zhao Gao used various means to punish those upright ministers who did not obey him, and even cut off the door.
