Qin Shi Huang was a particularly contradictory person, who constantly let people look for elixirs, but at the same time, after he had just taken the throne, he began to build his own resting place. In fact, he also knew very well in his heart that the so-called long live was just the emperor's hope, and he would die after all.
However, he did not expect that the will he had made was changed by Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, and his most favored Fu Su committed suicide with hatred for himself, while his throne was given to Hu Hai, a cruel son, and his good Jiangshan was defeated.
After Hu Hai ascended to the throne, power was controlled by Zhao Gao, and Hu Hai was just a puppet. But why did Zhao Gao, who held great power, get rid of the baby so easily?

On the way out of the palace for the last time Qin Shi Huang went on a tour, he suddenly became very ill, and he knew very well that he would never get better again, so he began to prepare for his own aftermath. Although the imperial tomb has not been completely repaired, it has been largely completed, and there is no need to worry about it, only the establishment of the crown prince is the most urgent.
In his eyes, only Fu Su was a truly qualified candidate for the emperor, so he wrote down the holy will to pass on Fu Su, and also specified that he hoped that he would make up for himself.

When he made the edict, Zhao Gao and Li Si were there, and the edict was still in the hands of Li Si, this person was the person he had reused all his life, and it was very worthy of his responsibility. But he never imagined that the things he had arranged well would be destroyed.
For his personal gain, Zhao Gao ran to persuade Hu Hai to join forces with Li Si to tamper with the edict. Although this Hu Hai did not have any ability, his desire to become emperor was no less than that of Fu Su, plus he was also worried that once Fu Su ascended the throne, he would have no foothold. Therefore, Zhao Gao quickly convinced him.
As for Li Si, he was originally very determined, but Zhao Gao used the ending of Shang Martin and other former dynasty heroes to scare him, directly scaring him into following Hu Hai.

After Hu Hai took the throne, Zhao Gao's heart still felt very worried, because Fu Su was not so easy to fool, and if he found out that he had done such a thing, the end would be very miserable. After careful consideration, he once again began to think crookedly,
He deliberately concealed the news of Qin Shi Huang's death, and also falsely preached the holy will, and gave death to FuSu in the name of "disloyalty and filial piety".
Compared with Hu Hai, Fu Su Gongzi's body lacked the breath of a leper, and he was completely a humble prince. Although he doubted the authenticity of the Holy Will, he still did not resist, but committed suicide with hatred.
After killing Fu Su, Zhao Gao's heart finally calmed down for a while, but it also did not last long.
As the elders, the MengTian brothers were also a big problem in his heart.
Moreover, they were also the most important subordinates of Fu Su when he was still alive, and they once fought with Fu Su and carried a lot of military feats on their backs. In order to get rid of the brothers, Zhao Gao provoked in front of Hu Hai for three days, hoping to borrow the emperor's hand to kill them.

Gongzi Zibao knew that Zhao Gao was deliberately framing other ministers for the sake of profit, so he repeatedly advised the emperor that he should reuse them instead of hurting the hearts of the heavy ministers at will. It was not wrong for the Zi Bao to advise the emperor in this way, and the Montessori brothers did pay a lot of effort to the imperial court, and they really did not have any fault.
However, he did not know that Hu Hai's throne had come from the right place, and if the brothers knew that they had killed Fu Su, even if they were already emperors, they would not have a good life. In order to avoid bad things in the future, the emperor still casually found an excuse to kill them.

After getting rid of the brothers, Zhao Gao's next target was Li Si,
It was more difficult to get rid of Li Si than to get rid of the Montessori brothers, who were not only important ministers of the former dynasty, but also ministers of the current dynasty, and held real power in their hands.
However, the cunning Zhao Gao still thought of a method that was effective and would not drag him down. He often asked Li Si to visit when the emperor was busy with sound, and the number of times he was more, Hu Hai was completely disgusted with Li Si. However, this was far from enough for Zhao Gao, and only when Li Si died, his heart troubles could be regarded as removed.
Soon after, Zhao Gao acted as a demon again, falsely accusing Li Si's son of colluding with Chen Sheng
。 This trick of his was used so harshly that no emperor could tolerate the rebellion of the courtiers, Chen Sheng had already revolted at that time, Li Si was a heavy minister, but his son colluded with the anti-thief, showing that he did not have good intentions.

Coupled with the fact that Li Si was still an important participant in the conspiracy that year, Hu Hai did not have much trust in him. With Zhao Gao's covert operation, Li Si was soon imprisoned.
In prison, Zhao Gao constantly used heavy punishment on Li Si to force him to confess. Li Si really couldn't survive the heavy sentence, and could only draw a pledge with hatred on the false confession prepared by Zhao Gao in advance. After Hu Hai saw the confession, he thought it was true and sentenced Li Si to be beheaded.
Li Si's ending can be said to be self-inflicted, if he had known that this would be the case, I don't know if he would have helped Hu Hai do what he did in the first place?

After Li Si's death, Zhao Gao's hand also reached out to the descendants of Qin Shi Huang, using various methods to kill many imperial descendants and completely cut off Hu Hai's wings.
After doing this, Zhao Gao's officials had already risen to the rank of chancellor, and the State of Qin was almost defeated. With the death of important courtiers one by one, the next to be punished, it was Hu Hai's turn, and the whole country was filled with the smoke of the uprising. At this time, the emperor finally realized that he had been deceived by Zhao Gao, and that whatever guotai and min'an was said was a lie.
A great Qin in the hall had already fallen to the point where any courtier dared to rebel. At this time, Zhao Gao was no longer willing to submit to his subjects, so he joined forces with his brother and son-in-law to kill Hu Hai, no longer hiding his ambitions.

He had the heart to be emperor, but the Manchu ministers did not agree, and the whole dynasty would rather die than obey.
It is said that when he first sat on the throne, the heavens and the earth changed color in an instant, so that he had to retire, find the baby, let him be the king of Qin, and himself became the emperor of Taishang. In his opinion, the baby is also not threatening, and there is no need to guard against it.
However, this time he really misjudged, and after seeing his despicableness, The baby had already made up his mind to get rid of him.
According to the custom, the child must fast for five days before ascending to the throne before going to sacrifice and ascend the throne. However, after five days, the baby refused to come out. Zhao Gao had no choice but to pick him up personally.
Zhao Gao didn't expect that long before he entered the palace, Zi Bao had already sent someone to prepare to wait for him. As soon as he entered the palace, the baby centaurs stabbed him and ended his sinful life.

Zhao Gao may not have thought until his death that the original Gongzi Zi Bao was the one who hid the deepest, if he seemed to have great ambitions, he might have been eliminated a long time ago, and it was precisely because of this mistake that Zhao Gao was wiped out of the three tribes.
It is not so much that he was killed by the child's nest, but rather that he has done too much evil and that the heavens will take him.
