Chapter 42 The culprit: Zhao Gao
Do it yourself?
What do you mean? Should we let our children cook and clean their own rooms?
Don't say that our children have never done it before, let's just say that the eldest son, the future emperor, how can he cook by himself?
Ying Zheng said: "Do everything as the teacher said. Zhao Su, Zhao Yun, Meng Meng, Li Xiao, the four of you stay here and learn from the teacher attentively.
You should do whatever the teacher tells you to do. Understand? "
"No." The four Fusu people said in unison.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Sir, after you are asked to wash up, the four of you can go wash the dishes."
"No." The four of them responded again.
Immediately, the four people began to clear away the dishes.
Qin An looked at their diligent appearance and said, "This bowl needs to be washed four times to make it clean.
Finally, scald it with freshly boiled hot water. "
"No." The four Fusang people said in unison.
Ying Zheng asked curiously: "Sir, why is it so troublesome? Isn't it enough to wash it once?"
Qin An smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't be clean after just one wash. Washing more often will make it cleaner, and scalding it with hot water can sterilize it."
"What is sterilization?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Sterilization means killing bacteria and germs." Qin An said, "These bacteria and germs are invisible to the naked eye and require special instruments to see them. High temperature can destroy most bacteria and germs.
Moreover, these bacteria and germs will cause people to get sick once they are introduced into the body. "
Ying Zheng and others were shocked, and decided to wash the bowls four times after returning, and finally scald them with hot water.
It didn't take long for the four of them to wash all the dishes and chopsticks, and Qin An watched the whole process.
It can only be said that they are barely qualified. At the same time, I know that they are a group of second-generation rich people who have never done any work.
Then everyone sat down, but Ying Zheng still had questions to ask.
"Sir, you said that Zhao Gao was the real murderer who caused the death of the Second Emperor of Qin. This is impossible. Zhao Gao was just a private slave of the First Emperor. How could he have the power to cause the death of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty?"
After solving his son's education problem, Ying Zheng asked the doubts in his heart.
In Ying Zheng's heart, his son is the first, and Da Qin is the second.
Others also pricked up their ears to listen. They also wanted to know why Zhao Gao could bring about the destruction of Great Qin?
Qin An smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the First Emperor himself."
"How do you say this?" Ying Zheng asked, "Could it be that the First Emperor asked Zhao Gao to destroy Qin?"
"Is that true?" Qin An said, "It's just that although the First Emperor was diligent, Zhao Gao had to do many things that needed writing.
So during the fifth Eastern Tour of the First Emperor, his body became weak due to long-term use of elixirs, and he accidentally knocked his head.
Then he fell ill and died directly. "
"Master has already said this, we already know it, but the First Emperor has passed away, how can Zhao Gao become the murderer of Qin's death?" Ying Zheng asked.
Others are also curious. The First Emperor is no longer here. Even if Zhao Gao, a private slave, does not have to be buried with him, he will lose his former glory.
"It's not because Zhao Gao often reviewed memorials for the First Emperor, so after the First Emperor's death, Zhao Gao dared to tamper with one move and change the original edict passed to Fusu to Qin II." Qin An said.
Ying Zheng's face darkened and he said, "How dare Zhao Gao do this?"
Li Si asked doubtfully: "Does Zhao Gao have such courage alone? And won't everyone be suspicious of his tampering with the imperial edict?"
"Old Li, that's a good question. I remember telling you that your ancestor was also one of the murderers who destroyed Qin." Qin An said.
Li Si twitched the corner of his mouth and thought: "How could I forget that you even told me that my Li family would be exterminated."
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, you mean that my ancestor Li Si helped Zhao Gao?"
"You can say that." Qin An nodded.
Ying Zheng and others all looked at Li Si. Li Si would actually help Zhao Gao?
Colonel Li's heart tightened. His father would actually help Zhao Gao to defeat Qin? Isn't this right?
Li Si immediately said: "There is no reason. My ancestor is already the prime minister, why should I help Zhao Gao? This doesn't make sense?"
Ying Zheng and others nodded slightly, Li Si was already a very human minister, there was no reason at all.
Principal Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is true under normal circumstances. Li Si is already the head of the officials, and there is no need to help Zhao Gao." Qin An said, "But Zhao Gao is very scheming and knows Li Si's weakness.
After the death of the First Emperor, Zhao Gao went directly to Li Si and told Li Si that as long as Fusu ascended the throne, his position as prime minister would be threatened, and the Meng family brothers would be reused.
Meng Tian may become a general, Meng Yi may become a prime minister, and Li Si may be alienated by Fusu.
This directly hit Li Si's lifeline. How could Li Si, who liked power, be willing to give up the position of prime minister to others.
So Li Si agreed to Zhao Gao's suggestion, concealing the news of the death of the First Emperor, and using salted fish to square the Emperor's palace to cover up the stench of the corpse.
Then during this period, two decrees were issued in succession, one to pass the throne to Qin II, and the other to scold Fusu and ask Fusu to commit suicide.
Li Si thought that as long as Qin II ascended the throne, he would be able to sit back and relax. Unfortunately, he was still tricked by Zhao Gao.
Li Si often disturbed Qin II when he was having the most fun, and then advised Qin II to work diligently.
Because Li Si knew that his fame and wealth were inseparable from the Qin Dynasty. Once the Qin Dynasty fell, he would forget it.
However, Qin II was impatient at the beginning and became angry in the end. Then he was instigated by Zhao Gao, and finally ordered to kill Li Si's entire family. The executioner was still Zhao Gao.
Before the final execution, Li Si's grief and anger were beyond words, and he shouted to the sky: "Today, most of the rebels are rebels, but their hearts are not yet broken. With Zhao Gao as an assistant, I will definitely see the bandits reaching Xianyang and the elk roaming around." North Korea. '
But he didn't expect that his words would come true soon. The elk really appeared in the court, and Liu Bang led the army into Xianyang City.
Great Qin also started at this moment, completely ended, and entered the era of conflict between Chu and Han.
Therefore, Zhao Gao is the real culprit that led to the fall of Qin, and the second Qin only knew how to have fun and did not care about the government at all. All matters of the government were handed over to Zhao Gao.
In the end, Qin II also died at the hands of Zhao Gao.
The Second Emperor of Qin was worried that his throne would be taken away by other princes, so he issued an order to kill all the sons and daughters of the First Emperor. No, it should be said to be genocide.
In other words, the First Emperor's lineage, except for yours, has almost been wiped out. "
Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Why would Zhao Gao do this? I really can't figure it out."
