A qualified emperor can sacrifice and utilize everything except himself!
There can be no mercy whatsoever, otherwise it will be impossible to accomplish great things.
Lu Li had seen through this long ago, which is why he chose to build the Black Ice Platform to help Ying Zheng.
Because if that day really comes, he can walk away unscathed.
After leaving Xianyang Palace, Lü Buwei returned to his residence somewhat dejected.
From then on, he claimed to be ill and stopped attending court, even staying at home in seclusion.
He refused to see anyone who wanted to meet him.
Even Lü Buwei's retainers who wanted to see him were refused, and no one knew what had happened.

Ying Zheng's successful ascension to the throne was largely due to Ying Xi.
At that time, many court officials, urged by Empress Dowager Huayang, supported Chengjiao, and the situation was about to turn in one direction.
