Chapter 21: Dune Changes (Vote Request)
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng never appointed a crown prince in his lifetime.]

He had more than twenty sons and more than a dozen princesses.

His sons recorded in historical books include the eldest son Fusu, Prince Jianglu, Prince Gao and the eighteenth son Huhai.

Because of the incident of killing the alchemists, Fusu was sent to the border by Qin Shihuang to assist Meng Tian in guarding the border and served as a military supervisor for more than ten years.

General Meng Tian had a large army under his command, was building the Great Wall, and was driving the Huns north. His mission was very important. Throwing Fusu to Meng Tian's side was a kind of experience, and the hope was that he would be able to defend the country after training.

After all, among all the sons of Qin Shihuang, only Fusu was entrusted with important tasks, and there is no record of the other sons in politics.

This is enough to show that his eldest son Fusu was the heir he had chosen.

Unfortunately, Qin Shihuang's good intentions were ultimately of no use. 】

[Fusu's character is very pedantic, straightforward and stubborn, which makes him very suitable to be a minister of remonstrance to Emperor Taizong of Tang.]
[You know what, if Fusu and Wei Zheng met, they would definitely have something to talk about.]
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: Ah?

Wei Zheng:?
[Fusu should be quite capable. He did not make any mistakes during his time as a military supervisor. After all, history books never say anything bad about him. Later, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang started an uprising under the names of Fusu and Xiang Yan.]
[He was sent to the frontier for his admonition, but he still frequently wrote letters to discuss current affairs, which shows his courage and integrity.]
[Fusu must have had a very good character. He often raised objections to certain tyrannies and cared about the people. It was because he was not cruel that he ended up like that.]
[I wonder whether Fusu committed suicide voluntarily or was forced to do so in history?]

[Who knows? Anyway, Zheng Ge probably never expected that his eldest son would die in the frontier.]
Fusu pursed his lips and looked up at the First Emperor, feeling very guilty. He had let his father down.

Ying Zheng's eyes twitched violently, and he had the idea of ​​sending Fusu out to gain experience. Tianmu told him that Fusu committed suicide on the frontier.

Suddenly I hesitated.

Liu Bang sighed: "If Prince Fusu had not died, you might not have been able to become the ruler of the world."

Qin II, Hu Hai, was too tyrannical and unjust, so there were constant uprisings in various places at the end of the Qin Dynasty. If Prince Fusu came to the throne and pacified the people, he would surely win the hearts of the people.

Zhang Liang chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Although Prince Fusu is a brave man, he does not have the courage and ruthlessness of the First Emperor, and he cannot suppress the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty."

Even if you can suppress it for a while, you can't suppress it forever.

The old aristocratic forces in the six kingdoms were not vegetarians. Due to the pressure from Qin Shihuang, they dared not to cause chaos, but with Fusu coming to power, they certainly became bolder.

Once the internal situation became chaotic, the entire Qin Empire would begin to fall into chaos.

As for the valiant Qin army, the Huns outside are not easy to deal with, and the border guards will not move easily.

Unless the First Emperor could live longer and find a way to appease the forces of the six kingdoms, completely suppress the unrest, and hand over a stable world to Prince Fusu, Qin would last long.

Zhang Liang's eyes were deep. This sky curtain could be seen in all dynasties. It seemed that the history of Qin was about to change.

[In the 210th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign ( BC), Emperor Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng suddenly fell ill during his fifth tour and died in Shaqiu.

The Zhongshufu official Zhao Gao colluded with the eighteenth son Hu Hai, and coerced and bribed Li Si. After a conspiracy, he forged the imperial edict, made Hu Hai the crown prince, and forged the imperial edict to execute Prince Fusu.

The perverse, tyrannical Hu Hai became the second emperor of Qin;

Zhao Gao, who was good at conspiracy, stole the power of the Qin Dynasty by calling a deer a horse;
Li Si, who was disloyal in his later years, became an accomplice of the evildoer.

After Qin II, Hu Hai, ascended the throne, he intensified the exploitation of the people and social contradictions became seriously intensified.

In the first year of Emperor Ershi's reign (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led a peasant uprising, and later Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others joined the uprising.

[Li Si really lost his integrity in his later years.]
[Blinded by greed.]
[It was the First Emperor who raised the upper limit of the emperor in Li Si's mind, making him think that Hu Hai was about the same, but it turned out that Hu Hai was the lower limit of the emperor.]
[Zhao Gao used a deer as a horse to clean up the court, and his ambition was clearly revealed, but Hu Hai had no reaction.]
[The ministers of the Qin Dynasty were really fragile. After Zheng Ge's death, they all fell into the hands of Zhao Gao. I am really confused.]
Zhao Gao was trembling with fear, knowing very well in his heart that he was no match for Li Si. He was doomed to die, as the sky had misled him!

Li Si, kneeling on the ground, wanted to beat his future self to death. Have you really become brainless when you get old?

The Qin Dynasty was the cause to which he had devoted his entire life, and he could not accept the fact that it perished in the second generation with his help.

Li Si kowtowed, truly regretful: "I am ashamed of your majesty and of the Qin Empire."

Ying Zheng ignored him. He was already 40 years old this year. Did he still have nine years? Too short! He still had a lot of things to do. Fusu couldn't support the Qin Dynasty. He had to hand over a stable world to Fusu. Did Tianmu have a way to live longer?
He no longer pursued immortality, longevity was enough. Liu Che was able to live to seventy, and he was not greedy. Living to eighty was enough for him.

The ministers shed tears in their eyes: Your Majesty...

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gao and waved his hand: "Take him away and give him five punishments."

Meng Yi responded and took the man away personally. Zhao Gao should have been killed several years ago. He only had his current position thanks to the grace of Your Majesty. He is truly an ungrateful person.

Zhao Gao was taken away from the Xianyang Palace before he could even beg for mercy.

Before he died, his eyes looked angrily at the canopy hanging in the sky.

In that original future, he had clearly been able to gain supreme power, but everything was ruined.

The sky has misled me!

[In just three years, the Qin Dynasty, which once dominated the world, collapsed. ]

After hearing this again, Ying Zheng still found it hard to accept and kicked Hu Hai hard again.

[Of course, the endings of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Li Si were not that bad.

Li Si was in cahoots with the tiger and was framed and killed by Zhao Gao. He was sentenced to five punishments and his three clans were exterminated.

Hu Hai was forced to commit suicide by Zhao Gao, his son-in-law Yan Le and others.

Zhao Gao was stabbed to death by King Ziying of Qin. 】

[All five punishments: tattooing the face, cutting off the nose, cutting off both feet, beheading, and finally chopping into minced meat.]
[Li Si finally wanted to make a suggestion, but unfortunately the government was completely controlled by Zhao Gao and he was powerless to save the situation.]
[His eldest son Li You continued to resist the rebels until he was finally beheaded by Cao Shen.]
Li Si was silent. So this was his fate.

His mistake destroyed the Qin Dynasty and his three clans.

[Hu Hai was so stupid. There were uprisings all over the country, but when a treacherous man like Zhao Gao said that there was nothing going on in the world, it was just thieves, he actually believed it.]
[Stupid and cruel, his brothers and sisters died tragically.]
The princes and princesses who had already rushed over: ...Did they really die miserably?

No matter what, since Tianmu said it was miserable, it must have been very miserable. They all looked at their father with tears in their eyes, hoping that their father would make the decision.

Ying Zheng looked at his children, veins bulging on his forehead.

For the first time, he felt that his children were too innocent and kind-hearted. Hu Hai alone could have destroyed them all.

And Ziying is really a good boy, except for the disaster that is Zhao Gao.

[Yes, the fate of Qin Shi Huang's children was very tragic. Hu Hai's methods were extremely cruel. The eldest son Fusu was sentenced to death by a false imperial edict, and the rest of the princes and princesses were massacred.

Six princes were executed in Duyou, twelve princes were executed in Xianyang. Prince Gao was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he asked to be buried with the First Emperor. Prince Jianglu and three other princes were forced to commit suicide.

All the brothers who posed a threat were slaughtered, but Hu Hai did not stop. He killed ten princesses in Duyou.

Killing by dismemberment, the method is extremely cruel. 】

The older princes and princesses were able to keep themselves calm, and they looked angrily at the unconscious Hu Hai in the corner.

The younger princes and princesses also understood Tianmu’s words, and fearfully leaned towards their older brothers and sisters.

Fusu felt a chill in his heart. In the past, Hu Hai was always well-behaved and obedient in front of him and his father, but in the future he treated his blood brothers and sisters so cruelly.

Ying Zheng's gaze swept across the frightened faces of his children, he closed his eyes, and then looked at Hu Hai with a cold look in his eyes.
