Shaqiu.
It was late at night. Aside from the guards, everyone else had already drifted into dreams.
Except for one person.
That person was Zhao Gao.
Although he had decided to alter the final imperial edict left behind by Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao still did not dare act rashly.
Before drawing his last breath, Qin Shi Huang had clearly arranged for Fusu to become Crown Prince, to ascend as the Second Emperor of Qin after him, and continue ruling the vast Qin Dynasty.
But Fusu was not one of Zhao Gao's people. If Fusu became emperor, it would do Zhao Gao no good at all. And judging by Fusu's temperament, Zhao Gao felt that he might not even remain Grand Director of the Imperial Carriages for long before being forced into retirement.
How could Zhao Gao accept such an outcome?
He had driven Qin Shi Huang's carriage for nearly ten years, and he, too, harbored ambitions of commanding the realm.
Therefore, if he wanted to secure a situation favorable to himself, Fusu absolutely could not become emperor!
His student, Qin Shi Huang's youngest son Hu Hai, was the best choice!
But the key now was how to place Hu Hai in that position.
First, the imperial edict and the imperial jade seal were temporarily in his hands. No second person knew exactly what the edict contained. Without that advantage, a mere Zhao Gao would never have dared commit such an outrage as altering an imperial edict.
Second, Hu Hai had to be informed of this. He appeared innocent, but was actually foolish. As long as Zhao Gao spoke to him a little more, he could definitely make him agree in a blissful daze.
Only... Hu Hai and I alone are not enough.
