How did Zhao Gao become the Emperor of Hu Hai?

Zhao Gao forced Fu Su to death by forging letters, and made Hu Hai emperor.

After Qin Shihuang's death, Zhao Gao immediately launched the "What Ball Incident", forged Qin Shihuang's letters together with Prime Minister Reese at that time, forced Qin Shihuang's Zhang Zi to come back to life, made Qin Shihuang's youngest son Hu Hai emperor, and appointed himself as a doctor.

During his term in office, Zhao Gao not only monopolized the power of state affairs, but also colluded for personal gain, increased taxes on the people and practiced tyranny. In 208 BC, Zhao Gao killed Lisi with a stratagem and became the prime minister of Qin.

In the third year when he became the prime minister of Qin, he forced Hu Hai to commit suicide and made Zi Ying the king of Qin, but he was soon killed by Zi Ying and punished his three families.

Extended data:

The news of Qin Shihuang's death was not immediately announced to the world. When Prime Minister Reese saw that the motorcade had not arrived in Xianyang, he was afraid that after the news came out, Xianyang philosophers would struggle for power and position, and public resentment had been boiling for a long time, and the news of Qin Shihuang's death came out.

It is also likely that someone will take the opportunity to rebel, so he decided not to send out mourning. Only Reese, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and some trusted eunuchs knew about it. Qin Shihuang's Luanjia continued to Xianyang, and the body was put in the car. The heat of midsummer began to decompose the body.

Reese made every car load abalone to cover up the rancidity of the body. On the way to Xianyang, Zhao Gao with ulterior motives started to act. ?

He found Hu Hai first and said to him: The emperor is dead now. I didn't leave a package of letters from your son, but I gave a letter to Fu Su, who is coming to Xianyang. How about that? I'm afraid I'm going to be emperor. So what would you do?

Hu Hai was never ambitious. Hearing Gao's words, he said: It is natural that the father dies and the eldest son inherits the throne. Otherwise, what can we do?

Hearing this, Zhao Gao sneered: Prime Minister? Do you think that your talent, your strategy, your contribution and your prestige among the people are comparable to those of Meng Tiantian?

And the trust of the eldest son Fu Su, can you keep up with Meng Tian? Once the eldest son acceded to the throne, it is bound to use Meng Tian as prime minister. The prime ministers who were dismissed before all lost their heads. Do you think you may go back to your hometown with a seal in the future?

If Hu Hai ascended the throne, you can be a Marquis forever, and you are not afraid of future generations. Which of these two roads do you choose, Prime Minister? Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and Reese destroyed the original will, forged new letters, and made Hu Hai a prince.
