Chapter 123

~7 min read 1,232 words

Li Si was pardoned, tears streaming down his face, kowtowing heavily:

"Your subject, kowtows to thank Your Majesty for not killing me!"

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! Your subject will definitely die to repay Your Majesty!"

After dealing with these people, Ying Zheng seemed to have exhausted his strength and slowly sat back on the throne.

Inside the hall, there was dead silence.

All the ministers, sons, and princesses held their breath, not daring to let out a sound.

The impact brought by the celestial screen today, and the thunderous means of the First Emperor, made everyone feel terrified, and also made them feel unprecedented worry and warning about the future of Great Qin.

Other dynasties, after watching Hu Hai's "performance" and ending, were also sighing.

"Three pleas for mercy... tsk tsk, to be an emperor to this extent, it's truly miserable."

Liu Bang shook his head, "But he deserves it. Why didn't he do it earlier? Wasn't he ruthless when killing his brothers and sisters?"

"Why did he become so cowardly when it was his turn? Still want to be a commoner? Too late!"

Liu Che said contemptuously: "Afraid of death, without integrity. As a ruler, one should have the ambition to die for the state."

"Such fawning, just adds to the laughter, and not being able to enter the imperial mausoleum after death is also self-inflicted."

Li Shimin sighed: "Its rise is rapid, and its fall is sudden."

"Great Qin unified, how magnificent; falling in the second generation, how rapid!"

"Hu Hai's defeat is not his own fault, but his stupidity and cruelty are the root cause. This 'top player' truly played a good hand into a mess."

Zhu Yuanzhang said hatefully: "Good death! Deserved death! This kind of beast should have died long ago!"

"Exile is too cheap for him! And that Zhao Gao, tear him apart, exterminate his three clans! Deserved! The First Emperor did a beautiful job! As for Li Si... hmph, he's lucky."

Cao Cao commented: "Hu Hai's death is self-inflicted. But his ugly state before death also shows his stupidity and cowardice, not knowing his own crimes until death."

"Zhao Gao's treachery, Li Si's selfishness, Hu Hai's dim-wittedness, the three combined, how could Qin not perish?"

Liu Bei said: "Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. Hu Hai slaughtered his brothers and sisters, was tyrannical to the people, and trusted treacherous officials, finally getting this retribution."

"It's just a pity for the common people of the world, suffering this lawless ruler and this chaos."

Zhuge Liang summarized: "The fall of Qin was lost in the cruelty of the law and the weight of the corvee, but the second generation Hu Hai was the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"His virtue does not match his position, his talent is not capable, and he is surrounded by treacherous officials like Zhao Gao. Dying in three years, isn't it inevitable? Later rulers should take this as a deep warning."

The celestial screen screen finally froze on Hu Hai's hastily buried earth mound, forming a huge contrast with the Great Qin's dream of not moving for ten thousand generations, and slowly dimmed.

The second place on the list of dim-witted emperors, Qin Ershi Hu Hai, with his extreme speed of losing the family business, cruelty, and stupidity, firmly occupied the second place.

And what everyone is even more curious and secretly afraid of is, who will be the "amazing" "character" ranked above Hu Hai, at the top of the list of dim-witted emperors?

The fate of Great Qin, because of Ying Zheng's thunderous means, had a glimmer of change.

But the fate of Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and those "candidates" who have not yet made the list in other time and space, what will happen to them?

【The top ten list of dim-witted emperors will be announced tomorrow, please look forward to it】

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi era.

Xuan Ye, although he knew Hu Hai's "deeds," still had a gloomy face.

After all, their Great Qing's Emperor Qianlong also made the tenth place on the list of dim-witted emperors, and seeing Qin Ershi making such a death, his heart was ringing with alarm.

Especially the few points of Hu Hai slaughtering his brothers, pointing at a deer and calling it a horse, and being manipulated by eunuchs, made him involuntarily look at the many princes standing by, and... those eunuchs who were lowering their eyebrows.

"Hmph, Hu Hai's behavior is truly self-destruction. My Great Qing must not have such degenerates!"

Xuan Ye said coldly, his gaze sweeping over the princes.

"You should take this as a warning, be respectful to your brothers, stay away from treacherous officials, and govern diligently and love the people, which is the right path."

The princes bowed and agreed, each with their own ghosts in their hearts.

Yinreng secretly wiped his sweat, Yinzhen (Yongzheng) eyes moved slightly, and other princes also secretly warned themselves.

Qianlong era (parallel universe)

Qianlong, who had just recovered a bit from the shock, saw Hu Hai's ending, especially being demoted and exiled, and not being able to enter the imperial mausoleum after death, suddenly felt... he didn't seem to be the most miserable?

At least he wasn't exiled by his father (Yongzheng), nor was he killed by his son (Jiaqing), so he should be able to enter the imperial mausoleum, right?

Thinking this way, his heart was strangely balanced a little.

But words like "prodigal son" and "puppet" still made his face burn.

"Hmph, Hu Hai, how can he compare with me? I am just... just..."

He tried to find an excuse for himself, but seeing the charred pit still smoking in front of him, he swallowed his words back.

(The ministers beside him were watching their noses and hearts, but they were complaining in their hearts:

Your Majesty, your "Ten Complete Old Man" and "Prodigal Son" don't seem to be much different?

At least Hu Hai lost it in three years, you have been losing it slowly for decades...)

Late Qing, Empress Dowager Cixi period.

Cixi was smoking a water pipe, watching the celestial screen detail how Qin Dynasty's Hu Hai was played by Zhao Gao and finally forced to commit suicide, she sneered.

"Fool, can't even handle a eunuch, and you're worthy of being an emperor?"

She didn't realize at all that to some extent, she was the "Zhao Gao" of the Great Qing, and the Guangxu Emperor was to some extent the "Hu Hai" of the Great Qing (of course, the situation and nature are different).

She only felt that the emperor should be decisive, like her, holding power firmly in her own hands.

The little eunuch Li Lianying beside her quickly flattered:

"Old Buddha is wise, how can Hu Hai compare with the ancestors of our Great Qing, let alone compare with you, Old Buddha."

Cixi was satisfied and hummed, continuing to watch the show.

But she was calculating in her heart, if this celestial screen could review something else, such as harem interference in politics, she must take a good look and learn the "experience" of her "predecessors"...

(Cixi's stage of destroying the country, if you have pictures, come on. Everyone can share the god pictures in your hands and show them. You should have guessed who the first place on this list of dim-witted emperors is, right?)✌︎˶╹ꇴ╹˶✌︎
