Zhao Gao wanted to be the emperor and when the war in Guanzhong was in a tight situation.

After killing Hu Hai, all obstacles in the court have been basically removed. Zhao Gao walked into Xianyang Palace and there were voices of praise everywhere.

It is harder to hear a verbal criticism than to climb to the sky.

Don’t say that you refer to a deer as a horse, or the moon as a star, there may be a lot of echoes around you: “The stars are so big!”

When he had the power of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao felt that he had no reason not to be the emperor.

Ying Zheng became the First Emperor of Qin, named Qin Shihuang, and he also wanted to be the First Emperor of Zhao, named Zhao Shihuang.

At the celebration banquet that killed Hu Hai, Zhao Gao's mind became more and more active, and all the followers cheered and shouted long live.

Among them, Chongxin was the most excited. Therefore, Zhao Gao granted his position as "Prime Minister", and all the other entourages were important officials of the Nine Ministers.

As for the throne ceremony, Zhao Gao chose an auspicious day three days later.

At the third update, the banquet ended, Zhao Gao was drunk and rode the emperor's carriage and headed to Taimiao Fast.

Along the way, they all showed the emperor's majesty.

Halfway through the journey, Zhao Gao suddenly felt sore all over, and even the soft pads under his butt became as hard as iron.

At first, Zhao Gao thought someone was teasing him, so he killed the host who arranged the carriage and the driver who drove the carriage. However, when he changed the mat, he still felt very uncomfortable, and even sneezed violently and cried.

In just under two miles, Zhao Gao walked like hundreds of miles. After finally enduring the hardship, he came to the Taimiao, but his limbs were weak and his legs were numb.

Bang—

Zhao Gao slapped the desk angrily and whispered: "Damn it! Who is the one who is doing it? Don't let me catch you, otherwise you will be smashed into pieces!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a kneeling around him, trembling.

At this time, several confidant palace servants walked to the carriage and said carefully to Zhao Gao: "Your Majesty, do you need a servant to help you in?"

"Go back! Let's come back when there is Zhao's Taimiao!"

Zhao Gao waved his hand coldly, then grabbed the reins from the coachman's hand and drove the carriage away from the Taimiao.

But shortly after he left Taimiao, the carriage suddenly recovered as before, and there was a kind of indescribable weirdness.

Three days later, the throne ceremony was held as scheduled.

Zhao Gao was dressed neatly, stood outside the Xianyang Palace, looking down at the ministers, for a while, and entered the main hall of Xianyang Palace with the melodious sound of the bell.

Seeing the magnificent Xianyang Palace in joy, an unprecedented excitement suddenly surged in Zhao Gao's heart.

At this time, Zhao Gao was so excited that he almost collapsed on the ground. Just as he once vowed, he would climb to the highest position step by step and become the real Zhao Gao.

Now he finally did it.

In just one step, he will ascend to the throne that symbolizes supreme power. From then on, he will no longer be a lowly slave, but the Emperor Zhao Shi, who founded the Zhao Dynasty.

Just when Zhao Gao was thrilling, Chongxin brought two beautiful maids to Zhao Gao and smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I am here to guide you!"

"Need not!"

Zhao Gao glanced at Chongxin indifferently, then gently brushed away the two maids and walked up the steps on his own.

While inspecting the court officials on both sides solemnly, he tried to wake himself up. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could not suppress his inner ecstasy and could not wake up.

Everything in front of him was like a dream, as if illusory, and extremely real. As the rhythm of breathing intensified, Zhao Gao suddenly felt that his eyes became a little blurred, and his ears were buzzing from time to time.

Um?

What's going on?

Zhao Gao, who was deeply trapped in the desire for power, walked towards the dragon throne with a puzzled look on his face, but as the bells and drums sounded, he stopped for no reason.

"Emperor Zhao Shi, the ceremony of ascension to the throne has officially begun-"

This shout seemed to be from the void, awakening Zhao Gao in an instant.

Especially when Zhao Gao heard the three words "First Emperor" and was shocked.

Since he became Ying Zheng's slave, he never thought that he could be the First Emperor. Therefore, when he monopolized the power, he thought that he would be the First Emperor like Ying Zheng.

What are the names of the second and third generations? They are all called Ying Qin. If you become the emperor and change your surname and change your personality, you will definitely be the First Emperor.

What's more, Emperor Zhao Shi sounds very majestic.

What rebels and thieves are waiting for the throne and eliminate them one by one. You Ying Zheng can destroy the six kingdoms, why can't I, Zhao Gao, pacify the world?

After thinking about it, Zhao Gaoqiang calmed down and murmured to himself: "You Ying Zheng destroyed the six kingdoms, and I, Zhao Gao, also destroyed the six kingdoms. Isn't it God's will?"

"clang--"

As soon as the words finished, the bell rang.

Zhao Gao knew that the most critical moment had come, so he gently brushed the crown, took the jade seal from the palace servant, held it in his palm, and walked towards the dragon throne.

Back then, Zhao Gao passed the memorial for the First Emperor Ying Zheng. I don’t know how many times these nine steps have been. Now I am here again, and I can walk as fast as I can with my eyes closed.

But now, somehow, the closer Zhao Gao got to the dragon throne, the more strange he felt, so he was sweating profusely and his face was pale.

Bang!

Just as Zhao Gao stepped up the last step, he suddenly felt empty under his feet and then staggered forward.

"Your Majesty is a little!"

Chongxin shouted.

Zhao Gao was shocked and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but as soon as his heels stepped on the stairs, the entire nine-stage stairs collapsed.

"ah--"

Zhao Gao screamed and fell directly into the remains of the crack in the ground.

"Your Majesty, save Your Majesty!"

Chongxin led a group of Zhao Gao's confidants and rushed to the steps in horror. Zhao Gao's face was covered with blood stains, and he was terrible.

When Chongxin and others rescued Zhao Gao from the railings, the collapse of the steps quickly subsided and the entire hall returned to normal.

Such a strange scene shocked all the ministers in the court.

However, this was not the most shocking thing, the jade seal of the First Emperor, which actually disappeared.

No one can tell how this jade seal disappeared in public.

Although something strange happened to the throne ceremony, Zhao Gao's ambition to become emperor did not fade. After renovating the Xianyang Palace, he was preparing to ascend the throne again.

However, time waited for no one, and the war in Guanzhong was coming to an end. The Chu army, which was facing Xianyang, was approaching.

Zhao Gao had neither the ability to govern politics nor the ability to govern the military, so he was extremely blind to the general trend of the world and missed the best opportunity.

If he had used Hu Hai's name as soon as possible to call on the world to be the king, he might have a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, it was a fate. Liu Bang from Yunyang and Xiang Yu from domineering were all threatening, and it was difficult to turn the tables.

As Hu Hai said, no matter who becomes an emperor, it cannot last long. Compared to the short-lived emperor dream, Zhao Gao wanted to survive, so he must find a scapegoat.

When the world is against Qin, all hatred should be borne by the descendants of Ying Qin. As long as you put all the blame on the descendants of Ying Qin, you can attack and retreat. Isn’t that beautiful?

However, what Zhao Gao did not expect was that he could not find a child of Ying Zheng in search of the imperial city, and he seemed to have forgotten his past of slaughtering Ying Zheng's child.

Just as Zhao Gao was in a state of trouble, Xin Sheng's special envoy suddenly came to the door.

At this time, in Zhao Gao's study, the envoy Xin Sheng sat opposite Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao was drinking tea while thinking. After a while, he asked faintly: "I wonder what General Xin has to give?"

Hearing this, Xin Sheng's special envoy Wang Xu bowed and said, "Prime Minister, General Xin is stationed in Yunyang. Now Liu Bang's army is at the city. General Xin has not fought with him so far, and is just waiting for the order of Prime Minister!"

Zhao Gao sneered in his heart, but said with a slight joking voice: "General Xin's 200,000 elite troops, I can keep ordering me!"

"As long as the Prime Minister is willing, he will naturally be able to order. But he doesn't know what the Prime Minister wants, so he dare not say anything clearly!"

"Since General Xin is here, you might as well say something!"

Zhao Gao waved his hand, and the palace servants around him immediately left the study.

"General Xin was very sad when he heard that the second emperor had passed away, so he sent him to mourn. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. I wonder how the Prime Minister of the Central Committee arranged it?" Wang Xu said in a humble and arrogant manner.

"What?" Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows: "General Xin intends to establish a new king?"

"As an old minister of the empire, I naturally want to continue the empire!" Wang Xu said seriously.

"Oh!"

Zhao Gao 'hooed' and sneered: "Since you want to continue the empire, why don't you send troops to support the country when it is in danger?"

"The Prime Minister's words are wrong!"

Wang Xu said disapprovingly: "General Xin, on the order of the emperor, guard the capital, and he should do his best to do his duty!"

"What's more," he said, and then said: "If General Xin had not blocked the rebels, the rebels had already captured Xianyang and were heading inside and outside the palace!"

"Haha, so I have to thank General Xin for protecting the country?"

Zhao Gao asked back with a sneer.

Wang Xu said indifferently: "We are here today, not a verbal dispute, but a discussion on the future of the empire. If the Prime Minister intends to discuss, then he might as well give an opinion. If he does not intend to discuss, then he will go back and report immediately!"

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something and added: "Oh, by the way, before leaving, General Xin asked me to give me a sentence to the Prime Minister!"
