"Rebellion? Miss, you can't say that." Meng Yi was so frightened that his voice trembled and his legs went weak. If he hadn't held on to the wall, he would have fallen down.

Ying Zheng's eyes were gloomy as he waited for Zhao Qingrui's next words.

Zhao Qingrui's expression was serious and solemn. "I'm serious. My master knows the past and the future. He showed me these in my dreams. The Qin Dynasty is about to fall."

"What nonsense are you talking about, girl? The Qin Dynasty was doing well, how could it perish?" Ying Zheng put down the water cup, grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, and said calmly.

"Dad, you've been out there all year round, so you must know more about Daqin's situation than I do. Is Daqin's situation really optimistic?"

There were only three of them in the yard. The others had been called out by Zhao Qingrui early on, so she could speak freely and without any scruples.

"At the end of this year, the First Emperor toured the country. In July of the following year, he died of illness in Shaqiu while on his way. His son, Hu Hai, ascended the throne as Qin II. Hu Hai brought chaos to the Qin Empire, causing the people to suffer and rise up in rebellion, hastening its collapse."

In September of the third year of the reign of Qin II, Prime Minister Zhao Gao forced Qin II to death, removed the title of Qin Emperor, and established Ziying as King of Qin. Five days later, Ziying had Zhao Gao executed. In October, Liu Bang led his troops into the pass. Ziying, who had reigned for only 46 days, surrendered to Liu Bang, and the Qin Dynasty came to an end.

Zhao Qingrui's words were like thunder that struck the hearts of both the king and his minister.

Meng Yi was so frightened that his face turned pale. He lowered his head and dared not speak at all.

Ying Zheng was horrified, with a huge wave of fear in his heart. If these words had not been said by Zhao Qingrui, the person who said them would have been dragged out, torn to pieces, and his entire clan would have been executed.

He simply didn't want to believe what Zhao Qingrui said was true. "How could Hu Hai succeed to the throne? Where is Fusu? What about Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Li Si and others? Did everyone let Hu Hai do whatever he wanted?" Ying Zheng asked coldly.

"Qin Shi Huang wanted to achieve immortality and took many elixirs, but they were all poisonous and his body was already damaged."

"While on tour, Qin Shi Huang's illness worsened. Feeling he might not survive, he asked Zhao Gao to draft a letter to his eldest son, Prince Fusu, who was leading troops in the northern frontier to defend against the Xiongnu, passing the throne to him. The letter had already been written and sealed, and was temporarily placed in the Xingfu Xishi Office, which Zhao Gao was in charge of, but had not yet been given to the messenger for delivery."

"Prime Minister Li Si believed the emperor had died outside the capital. He feared the princes would cause unrest and bring chaos to the country, so he strictly suppressed the news and kept the death a secret."

"He ordered the coffin of Qin Shi Huang to be placed in a chariot, with eunuchs who had been favored by Qin Shi Huang during his lifetime accompanying him. No one else was allowed to come near the front, and they served Qin Shi Huang food and drink as usual."

"All officials continued to report their affairs as usual, and the eunuchs allowed them to report from their carriages."

"Thus, among the crowd, only Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and five or six favored eunuchs knew that the First Emperor was no longer alive."

"Zhao Gao persuaded Li Si, and the two conspired to forge an imperial edict, appointing the youngest son Hu Hai as crown prince, and also tampered with the letter from Qin Shi Huang to his eldest son Fusu."

"The letter, in the tone of Qin Shi Huang, rebuked Fusu for failing to contribute to the country and repeatedly slandering the emperor. Meng Tian also failed in his duty and failed to persuade Fusu to mend his ways in time. Both of them were sentenced to death."

"After Hu Hai ascended the throne, he killed more than 20 of his brothers and sisters and forced Fusu to commit suicide."

"The one who died with a better reputation was Gongzi Gao. He watched his brothers and sisters being persecuted to death one after another by Hu Hai, and knew that he could not escape the bad luck. But escaping would bring trouble to his family, so he decided to sacrifice his own life to ensure the safety of his family. He wrote to Hu Hai, expressing his willingness to be buried with his father at Mount Li."

After Hu Hai ascended the throne, Zhao Gao seized power and implemented a brutal rule, which eventually sparked the uprisings of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, as well as the restoration movement of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms. After only three years as emperor, Hu Hai was forced to commit suicide in Wangyi Palace by Zhao Gao's confidant Yan Le. He was only 24 years old.

Zhao Qingrui sighed softly. When talking about this history, she felt sad for no reason.

After Zhao Qingrui finished saying this, the small courtyard became eerily quiet. Ying Zheng threw the cup in his hand heavily to the ground, breaking it into countless pieces.

"Bastard, bastard, how dare Hu Hai?" Ying Zheng was furious and slammed his hands on the table, no longer as calm as before.

He had a premonition that if he really died suddenly, these things might really happen.

He thought he would live forever and that his Great Qin would last for thousands of years, but he didn't expect that his Great Qin would perish so soon.

"Okay, Dad, don't be angry. I didn't come to you today to talk about this history." Zhao Qingrui gently patted her father's arm to comfort him. She didn't expect her father to react so strongly. She had not anticipated it.

After being comforted by his daughter, Ying Zheng calmed down a little, but when he thought about the purpose of his daughter calling him, Ying Zheng looked bitter.

What a sin he has committed. First, that bastard Hu Hai killed his brothers and sisters, and then Zhao Qingrui was eyeing his throne and preparing to rebel and usurp it.

Ying Zheng sat stiffly, "Go on."

"After the sudden death of the First Emperor next year, we will join the uprising. Dad, you know, my master's wish is to let all the people of Guizhou live a good life. I have all kinds of skills in my hands. When the rebellion succeeds, I can take these things out and spread them however I want. Don't be afraid."

"If you take those things out now, they can benefit the people." Ying Zheng said in a cold and hard voice.

"Dad, you're overthinking it. Our family has no power or influence. If we take out too many things, it will definitely attract attention. That will be too troublesome. Once we become the masters of this world, we won't have to worry about so many things." Zhao Qingrui shook her head. Becoming the master of this world made her feel more secure.

Looking at his daughter's ambitious look, Ying Zheng felt a pain in his head and liver, and felt uncomfortable all over.

"Rebellion is not that easy. The Qin Dynasty is not as simple as you think. Those hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers are not just for show." Ying Zheng tried to persuade his daughter to give up the idea of ​​rebellion.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm ready. Look." Zhao Qingrui confidently took out a notebook from her bag and placed it in front of her father.

The anti-Qin plan was so engraved with large characters that Ying Zheng could hardly recognize them.

Ying Zheng picked up the notebook and opened it, looking at Zhao Qingrui meaningfully, "You've prepared quite well."

"Of course. Dad, you also said that rebellion is not an easy thing. Of course, we have to make full preparations before we take action." Zhao Qingrui smiled. She spent a lot of time to perfect this plan.

Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the contents of the notebook.

The plan was very long and detailed, clearly stating how to recruit troops, who to eliminate, and how to win people's hearts.

After reading the entire plan, Ying Zheng felt terrible.

To be able to write such a detailed plan, it seems that his daughter has been preparing for a rebellion for a long time, and has secretly prepared a lot of things. He now knows why she wants to recruit people from the Mohist School to serve her.

Meng Yi stood aside honestly, pretending to be blind and deaf.
