After Zhao Gao took control of the second, he was powerful and did more and more as he wanted. One day, Zhao Gao sat alone at home in a daze, thinking that he was already in power over the government and the opposition, above 10,000 people, but he was still a courtier in name. Although the fooled second is obedient to himself and doesn't care about anything, he is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is in charge of life and death. Now that Zhang Han has surrendered to Xiang Yu and Liu Bang has also hit Wuguan, if he knows these things, how can he let me go? The second is now a retarded and imbecile, but this is my masterpiece. If his teacher hadn't been me, and someone else, the second would have been a different person. Look at the descendants of their old family, which one is a cowardly bag and a soft egg? Even those female streams, all of them are iron-clad, and none of them are afraid of death. Alas! No wonder the great Ying politicians want to unify the world, which is determined by the noble and unyielding bloodline and strong and invincible genes of their old winners!

Of course, I, Zhao Gao, am not the grandson of Grandpa Rao, and I and the Ying family are also in the same lineage, we are all descendants of Fei Chang, but we were later divided into two different surnames, one surnamed Zhao and one surnamed Ying, and most of our surnames Zhao are in Zhao State. It stands to reason that Zhao is the state of my parents, and now although the descendants of Zhao have returned to the country, Zhang Han and Wang Li's two armies have not captured Handan, which shows that my surname Zhao is also very tenacious. I also want to take revenge and avenge the Zhao State, so only by killing the emperor of the Qin State first, this revenge will be considered revenge. Otherwise, if I'm not careful, I'll let that kid take a knife on me, and I won't have anything. What kind of fate will happen to me Zhao Gao, is it really difficult to predict? But now if the murder of the king is committed, this is not a simple matter, even if my own brothers come to help me, but what will the ministers of the court think? Will they fight for that kid? This thing must be tested to see who will obey me? Who will not obey me? After Zhao Gao thought about it, he asked people to bring a bronze ding-type stove, and first threw the newspapers sent from all over the country into the stove one by one. Zhao Gao watched the beeping flames turn all these emergency documents into ashes, and a grim and weird smile appeared on his face.

At that time, it was the twenty-third birthday of Emperor II, and according to etiquette, he had to accept the congratulations of hundreds of officials. Zhao Gao thought to himself that Xianyang Palace was full of people, and it was not easy to put an end to people's mouths, and now that the front hall of Afang Palace had been completed, it was better to gather all the civil and military ministers of the Qin State there, let them change to an unfamiliar environment, and the ministers would not dare to talk nonsense, which was a matter of killing two birds with one stone. After Zhao Gao thought about it, he sent someone to inform all the ministers to wait in Afang Palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday together. The ministers didn't know what medicine was in Zhao Gao's gourd, so they set off together. And Zhao Gao personally came to the second emperor and said: "Your Majesty, your birthday has arrived, and you should accept the congratulations of the hundred officials." Now the front hall of Afang Palace has been completed, the newly repaired palace is very spectacular, which is also what you often look forward to, please go to Afang Palace to receive the congratulations of the hundred officials, and the minister has also prepared a birthday gift for you. When the second heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately set up and walked towards the palace of Afang.

The scale of Afang Palace is very grand, although the whole palace has not yet been completed, but the front hall of the splendid Afang Palace has been completed, it is Shanglin Garden, and it is also the most luxurious and spectacular palace in the whole Xianyang City. The east and west of the main hall are 750 meters long, the north and south are 116.5 meters wide, the hall can accommodate more than 10,000 people, and a 12-meter-high banner can be erected under the steps in front of the hall. The palace is connected by pavilion roads around the palace, and the longest one leads from the front of the palace gate to the top of the South Mountain. The main hall sits on a very high pedestal, with mahogany beams, and adopts the format of a four-style heavy eaves building. Each palace gate is equipped with magnets, which is to prevent anyone from hiding weapons from entering. The whole palace is extremely luxurious and magnificent. However, except for the front hall, the other palaces have not yet been completed, mainly because of the uprisings in various parts of Shandong, and the Qin State had to send a large number of craftsmen to the front line to fight, so the deadline for the completion of the project was delayed.

Zhao Gao and the second came to the main hall, and after visiting the temple, the second impatient walked towards the place of the upper court. At this time, the officials of the Qin State had been waiting there for a long time. When the second came to the golden palace and sat down, he asked eagerly: "The prime minister said that he has prepared a birthday gift for me, I don't know what kind of treasure it is, quickly take it out for me to see." Zhao Gao said: "The minister got a BMW in a foreign land, this horse is different from the horse of the Qin State, it is petite, and its appearance is very cute, please take a look!" Then he ordered the palace people to bring the treasure to the temple.

After a while, an official brought in a very beautiful and docile sika deer from the temple gate. At this moment, all the people in the Afang Hall were stunned, they all thought that Zhao Gao was talking about a horse just now, but how did it bring in a deer, just when everyone was dumbfounded, Zhao Gao suddenly spoke, and he enthusiastically introduced: "This horse is from South Vietnam, he is not the same as the horse in the north, as the so-called North horse is tall, South Ma is petite, Your Majesty, please see if this is the case?" The second looked at the sika deer, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Prime Minister, Prime Minister!" You're really kidding, it's clearly a deer, how can you say it's a horse? Zhao Gao pretended to be surprised and said: "Your Majesty, this is clearly a horse, how can you say it is a deer?" The second was even more puzzled, so he asked the ministers on the left and right, "Tell me, is this a horse or a deer?" The courtiers all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak, only a few, and the sycophants greeted: "It's a horse!" It's a horse! Zhao Gao smiled and said: "That's it, Your Majesty, this is obviously a horse, how can you say it's a deer?" Can't you even recognize the horse? ”

The empty golden temple was suddenly silent. After a while, suddenly three ministers stepped forward and said: "Obviously it is a deer, but you 'refer to the deer as a horse', how dare you say such nonsense?" Zhao Gao smiled coldly in a threatening tone: "Hehe, how dare I talk nonsense, you have to look carefully!" The three ministers straightened their backs and said solemnly: "We can see it very clearly, Prime Minister!" Zhao Gao smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Really? When Zhao Gao spoke, he showed what "a knife is hidden in a smile" to the fullest, so that he reached a very high level.

After a while, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhao Gao immediately instructed his henchmen to frame the three ministers of the second hall and say that the deer had rebelled. The second had long lost the ability to think independently, so he asked Zhao Gao what to do. Zhao Gao arrested the three ministers, stripped one of them out of his heart, one of his lungs, and one of them into eight pieces, and then invited the ministers to visit. When the minister saw the tragic situation of the three people, they were all frightened.

The next day, Zhao Gao asked the hundred officials to present gifts to the second emperor. This time, Zhao Gao asked people to bring a bunch of pu leaf rolls and presented them to the second in front of the ministers, saying: "This is a delicious roll of dried meat, please taste it!" The second took the pu leaf roll and looked at it again, and said in surprise: "Prime Minister, what do you say this is?" Zhao Gao said: "It's dried meat!" The second smiled and said, "The prime minister is wrong again." Then he asked the ministers, "What do you say this is?" The courtiers said in unison: "It's dried meat!" The second was puzzled, so he looked at Pu Ye carefully, and then at the minister, and he didn't believe himself a little. At this time, Zhao Gao pointed to the golden crown of a minister and said, "This is a black crown, did you say Your Majesty?" He pointed to a minister in a black court robe and said, "Why are you wearing a yellow court robe today?" The minister trembled with fright. Zhao Gao was above the court, counting black and talking about yellow, deliberately reversing black and white, confusing the public, and talking nonsense by his temperament.

After Zhao Gao finished speaking, he asked the ministers to testify for him to see if he was right. This time, the ministers were all frightened, and they had to follow the nonsense, so they followed Zhao Gao's meaning and said: "The Prime Minister is very right!" When he heard this, he was so stunned that he shook his head, suspecting that he was suffering from insanity. said to Zhao Gao: "Zhao Aiqing, I couldn't even recognize the horse yesterday, and today I made a mistake with the preserved meat and color, what's going on?" Zhao Gao immediately suggested that the second emperor should quickly summon the imperial doctor and diagnose the body first.

The second summoned the imperial physician to take the pulse. After the doctor diagnosed, he said that everything was normal. Zhao Gao said again: "Your Majesty's health is very good." "I also suggested that Taibu should do the divination. This Taibu had already been instructed by Zhao Gao, and after divination, he said: "Your Majesty, you seem to have offended the gods. The second said, "What do you mean by that?" Taibu said: "The hexagram says that when you used to worship the temple, you once had evil thoughts during fasting, so that you collided with the gods, so there was a phenomenon of visual confusion. The second asked what should be done. Taibu said: "You should go back to the ancestral temple to bathe and fast, and then worship and pray sincerely, and the insanity will be cured." The second thought to himself, could it be that I had too much fun and offended the gods, so this situation occurred, so he asked Zhao Gao what to do. Zhao Gao said enthusiastically: "Since Your Majesty has mental insanity, you should go and fast for a few days." ”

The second came to the ancestral temple of Shanglin Yuan, first went to the palace to bathe and fast, and then went to worship the ancestors five days later. But the second could not bear the loneliness, and two days later he went to the palace to shoot and hunt, and suddenly saw a tiger foraging in the woods. The second said to the left and right: "Huang Gong has the ability to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, go and summon him, I want to see for myself how he subdues the tiger." After a while, Huang Gong was summoned. The second asked him to subdue the tiger. Huang Gong said nervously: "Your Majesty, this tiger is an adult tiger that ran out of the circle, and the minister can't be tamed!" The second said angrily: "You are not afraid to get into the iron cage, but now you are a tiger, are you afraid?" Did you deliberately disobey my orders? So he commanded him to tam the tiger. Huang Gong looked up to the sky and sighed: "I have learned this kind of carving insect skills since I was a child, which has changed the instincts and habits of animals, this must have offended the beast god, and now I deserve to die!" So he went into the woods and fought with the tiger with his bare hands, but was bitten to death by the tiger. II hurriedly ordered the Tiger Guards to shoot the Tiger. When the second saw the scene of the tiger eating people, he returned to Saigu in shock.

That night, he had a strange dream about a white tiger that had bitten his left horse to death. When he woke up the next day, he looked sullen, so he summoned the official who occupied the dream and told him what happened in the dream. The official said: "This is the god of Jingshui at work, Your Majesty should go to Jingshui to worship, otherwise something big will happen!" When the second heard this, he was even more frightened, so he hesitated to ask Zhao Gao what to do. It turned out that Zhao Gaojian had reached the time of fasting, but he hadn't come up with a way to get rid of the second emperor, so he deliberately asked the officials who occupied the dream to say so. At that time, Zhao Gao asked, knowing what the second was thinking, so he said: "Your Majesty, this is simply a trivial matter for you, you can take some women, worship by the river during the day, and continue to have fun at night, so that the sacrifice and pleasure will not be delayed." The second asked where he lived. Zhao Gao said: "You can live in Wangyi Palace." When the second heard that he could continue to play in another place, he rejoiced: "Great, especially the two women who danced the towel dance and the dancer must go, I haven't seen enough yet?" Zhao Gao agreed one by one. Then he ordered Lang Zhong to order Zhao Cheng to lead a team of armor soldiers to protect and come to Jincheng to move.

When the procession set off, the Luan cover of the emperor's honor guard and various colored flags covered the sky and the sun, and the BMW incense car was connected for several miles, and the fragrance of burning incense powder and pepper and orchid wafted far away. When the second Luan drove by the Xianyang Palace, the civil and military officials stood to see him off. Xianyang ordered Yan Le to organize the Tiger Ben Army to impose martial law, and resolutely refused to let the ministers get close to the emperor's car. The second handed over all military affairs to Zhao Gao, and then took some female musicians, singers, dancers, musicians, and jugglers to set off, and the rest of the concubines and beauties all waited in Jincheng and continued to have fun here after the sacrificial activities were over. Although the second was mediocre, he was still a little sober, and finally asked about the chaos in Shandong. Zhao Gao continued to coax: "Shandong is already very quiet, Zhao Ben and Zhang Han have won the battle, and they will soon return to the court!" The second was overjoyed, and marched north with his fat team. Everyone crossed the Weishui Hongqiao, watched the scenery all the way, chatted, laughed constantly, and walked straight to Wangyi Palace.

Wangyi Palace is the northernmost palace of Xianyang, there is a 50 zhang high watchtower in the palace, it is a military facility dedicated to observing the invasion of foreign people in the north, so it is called Wangyi Tower, and the name of the palace is also called Wangyi Palace. When the second came to the palace, he thought that the white tiger he dreamed of had bitten the left horse to death, probably because the river god lacked horses. The next day, he led the officials in charge to the Jingshui River, pushed four pure white horses into the river as a gift to the river god, and then prayed solemnly before returning to the palace. Along the way, Zhao Cheng was very well protected, and after the second entered the city, Zhao Chengcheng closed the palace gate and guarded it strictly.

After dark, the second continued to hold singing and dancing events in the palace. They sang the "Beauty Fu", which was the first to depict women's appearance and clothing, and the poem said:

Shuoren 其颀 (qi), clothes brocade (jong) clothes. The son of the Marquis of Qi and the wife of the Marquis of Wei. The sister of the East Palace, the aunt of Xing Hou, Tan Gongwei is private.

The hands are like soft wattles (ti), and the skin is like clotted fat. The collar is like a grub (qiu qi), and the teeth are like a rhinoceros. The first moth eyebrows, clever smile, beautiful eyes.

Shuoren Ao Ao, said (shui) in the suburbs of the farm. The four peons are proud, and Zhu 幩 (fen) 镳镳 (biao). Zhai Fu (di fu) to the court. The doctor retreated, and there was no way to make the king.

The river is oceanic, and the north flow is alive. Shi 罛 (gu) 濊濊 (huo), 鳣 (zhan) tuna (wei) 发发 (bō). 葭 (jia) 菼 (tan) unveiled, Shu Jiang sin, Shu Shi has 朅 (qie).

In this way, the second and his women, day and night, had fun, and the sound of lewdness soon penetrated the palace walls and reached the vast northern wasteland.

Since the Xiongnu's Youxian King was defeated by Wang Li at Gaoque Pass, he often thought about revenge and had no chance. Later, he heard that there was a rebellion within the Qin State, and heard that Wang Li had died in battle, so he hurriedly came to report to Da Shan Yu, and suggested that he should prepare to attack the Qin State. Recently, Tanma came to report again, saying that the obscene x Yanle in the Wangyi Palace was rumored again, and the emperor of Qin was hiding there to play tricks. When King Youxian heard the news, he came to Shan Yu and said: "Great King, the second emperor of Qin is an imbecile, playing a baby, far from being comparable to Yingzheng. Recently, I heard that the bastard boy handed over all the state affairs to Zhao Gao, and hid in the Wangyi Palace day and night. The ancient sages of China said, 'If you can't go down to the church, you can rule by playing the qin.' But this kid is abusing politics all day long, and he is making a lot of 'beautiful sounds', which is not far from the death of the country. The Wangyi Palace where he lives now is very close to the desert, and it is estimated that there are not many troops guarding it. If we send troops quickly at this time, it will be easy to catch that kid! ”

After hearing this, Shan Yu thought that the opportunity was rare, so he immediately gathered the leaders of the various departments to discuss: "The second boy spends all day drinking, looking for fun, not like a person, and Guanzhong is about to be captured by the rebels in Shandong. We were born to be petite, eagles on the grassland, why don't we attack Guanzhong at this time, but when? Someone worried: "Your Majesty, although the second is a bastard and a baby, but the national strength of the Qin State is still very strong, and just catching that stinky boy, I'm afraid it still can't shake the foundation of the Qin State." Shan Yu pondered: "Although the pillars are tall, but there are moths and insects inside, how can their foundations be stable?" Don't miss it! He appointed King Youxian as the generalissimo of the expedition to the south, and on the same day he led the troops of the country and went south again.

King Youxian soon captured Gaoque Pass and Lianmo Pass. In order to completely defeat the Great Wall Army, the Xiongnu divided their troops into three routes: the right road went south along Helan Mountain and attacked Longxi County; Attack Yunzhong County on the left side; King Youxian personally led his troops to take Jiuyuan County, wanting to go south directly from the straight road to catch the second emperor.

The Qin army along the Great Wall got the news and flew to the deputy general Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai heard that the Xiongnu soldiers were marching south in three ways, so he hurriedly lit the beacon tower, first reported to Xianyang, and then mobilized the army to resist. The speed of the beacon to transmit military information is very fast, and at the same time, it also has a shocking national defense role. For a time, the wolf smoke in North China was everywhere, and the war reopened, which affected the heart of countless Qin soldiers to serve the country, and those soldiers who had been guarding the frontier for many years took up arms without hesitation, and they once again defended every inch of land under their feet with strong flesh and blood, and there are poems that praise:

Yingzheng Great Wall to prevent rebellion against Hungary, according to the mountains to go to Ruolong; Drink Penglai Cangming water in the east, and sweep the Qilian desert wind in the west.

The dust and wolf smoke on the side are rising to the sky, and the boots and knives in the city caves are fighting for ghosts; Stuffed with frost and white, the makeup table rouge is lonely red;

Where is the tower unguarded? Who is a strong man who becomes an old man? The moon is still bright night and night, and the bones of the day and day battle are stinking;

Qin bricks and glutinous soil mud are not dry, and the opera pavilion is the first to arrive; The Great Wall is thousands of miles away, and Hu Qi has not fallen down the wall in the south.

How many degrees does the moon shine on the wall? Soldiers enter the Xianyang Chu people dance; If you don't need to clear the river canal, how can the embankment burst be blocked?

If you don't need to be benevolent and righteous to guard the four seas, how can the sandfall of the great cause be repaired? What about the impregnable walls? The empty rubble is sad for eternity!
