Chapter 1

"Father Emperor, I've rebelled. Step down!"

001. System? Summon Divine General!

210 BC!

Late at night!

Great Qin, Xianyang City!

The early spring weather still carried a bit of chill.

Quite a few households still had charcoal braziers lit!

At the mansion of the Sixth Young Master of Great Qin, Facing Ying Su!

"No!"

"No!"

"How can this be allowed?"

Inside the room, Facing Ying Su on the bed shouted loudly!

When he suddenly sat up, his whole body was already soaked through with sweat!

Had a nightmare?

It really was a nightmare!

His entire family had been wiped out!

Facing Ying Su was jolted awake by this nightmare!

But… what was more terrifying than the nightmare was that this nightmare would sooner or later become reality!

Because… the First Emperor's fifth eastern tour was about to begin.

On this eastern tour, he would die!

After his death, Zhao Gao colluded with Li Si to forge the imperial edict and supported Hu Hai to the throne.

After Hu Hai ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his position, he slaughtered the Ying clan relatives on a massive scale!

Under his slaughter, nearly all the Ying clan relatives were completely wiped out.

And he, the Sixth Young Master Facing Ying Su, naturally could not escape this calamity.

As a transmigrator, to this day, he still could not forget that record in the Ying clan ancestral shrine!

"Young Master Su, the whole family perished, not a single living thing—human or beast—was spared in the mansion!"

"This… what is to be done?"

At that moment, Facing Ying Su's body was trembling!

Utterly terrified!

Indeed!

Even as a transmigrator, facing such a certain-death situation, he felt helpless!

Over the years, in order to survive, he had made many efforts, all wanting to change the outcome of history.

For example, persuading Prince Prince Fusu to stop with the enfeoffment nonsense—these things were purely about division, truly a calamity that harmed the nation and the people!

Or persuading the First Emperor not to embark on the eastern tour and not to consume those so-called immortality pills.

These things cannot grant immortality; in this world there is no one who lives forever without dying!

However, when Prince Prince Fusu faced his persuasion, he simply gave a cold snort and turned to leave!

As for Seeing Ying Zheng…

Fine, although he was Ying Zheng's sixth son, he had truly only seen Seeing Ying Zheng a handful of times!

Counting carefully, since his transmigration to now, he had only seen Seeing Ying Zheng three times in total, and each time from over a hundred paces away, watching from an extremely distant place.

A chance to speak with him?

There was simply no chance!

This was perfectly normal!

When facing his sons, the historical Seeing Ying Zheng had almost focused all his attention on Prince Prince Fusu!

He had paid virtually no attention to the other Imperial Princes.

One should know that he had eighteen sons, yet only four left their names in the historical records!

Prince Prince Fusu, Gao, Jianglü, and Hu Hai!

Among them, Jianglü was only mentioned in the historical records because he committed suicide to preserve his integrity!

Gao was recorded because he was tactful, volunteering to be buried with the Emperor, allowing his descendants to survive and preserve the Ying clan's bloodline!

The other Young Masters?

Sigh!

No sense of presence at all!

Currently, in Great Qin today, apart from Prince Prince Fusu!

All the Young Masters had little sense of presence!

Even Hu Hai was the same; it was only because his mother consort was favored by the First Emperor that he received slightly more attention!

It was also because of this that he was brought along by the First Emperor on the eastern tour!

But in reality, his sense of presence was really not high!

Even Prince Prince Fusu only had a high sense of presence in the early period; after Seeing Ying Zheng threw him to Shang Commandery, his sense of presence was not that high either!

Against this backdrop of Seeing Ying Zheng being disappointed in all his sons, Facing Ying Su naturally had no sense of presence at all!

But… if he couldn't persuade them, he couldn't change history!

And the consequence of being unable to change history was his entire family being wiped out!

Damn it!

Facing Ying Su's heart panicked again and again, his thoughts tangled into a hopeless mess.

He had mulled over countless times how he should face the coming crisis.

Go on tour with Seeing Ying Zheng, stay right by his side, and watch how that Zhao Gao of his tampers with the edict!

Or else, throw in with Prince Prince Fusu and seek shelter!

If even that won't work, then put into practice the policy of "if you can't beat them, join them"—tamper with the edict together with Zhao Gao and Li Si, only swap Hu Hai's name for his own!

Yet every one of these notions only flashed through his mind before he knew they wouldn't work!

To say nothing of whether Seeing Ying Zheng would even bring him along.

Even if he were willing to bring him, what good would it do?

The one who has attended the Emperor year in and year out is Zhao Gao, not himself!

Zhao Gao's inherent conditions for tampering with the edict are far too favorable; even if he tagged along on the tour, it wouldn't make a lick of difference!

What's more… to avoid trouble, Zhao Gao might even silence him for good!

That would be a one-way ticket to death!

Seeking Prince Prince Fusu's protection? Even more preposterous!

One forged edict from Zhao Gao, and he killed himself to atone for it.

Him dying on his own would be one thing—but he'd still have to drag General Meng Tian down with him!
