One day, Lou Zhaoming transmigrated to the Qin Dynasty and became a low-ranking soldier.
The problem was, he had arrived in the thirty-fifth year of the First Emperor's reign, with the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty just around the corner.
To stay alive, he came up with a series of perfect plans in his head.
Unfortunately, his first step was foiled when Ying Zheng and Fusu could hear his thoughts!
Ying Zheng: “You unfilial brat! You unfilial brat! You unfilial brat! Fusu, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?”
[Fusu, don't put up with this!
Listen to me: march into Xianyang, seize the throne, and give the First Emperor a little shock by purging the court in the emperor's name!
As for Fusu's suicide, that's easy to deal with as long as I'm here.]
Fusu: “My lord, he's only a centurion right now.
If we give him such broad authority, what if the court officials grow jealous and gang up to impeach him?”
[So what? As long as Hu Hai doesn't take the throne, everything will work out.
After all, what he does makes even a united impeachment look like child's play!]
Ying Zheng: “Lou Zhaoming, you don't seem to have much to do lately. I'll assign you a task. Go and...”
[What task? Getting Fusu some achievements?
Then you're definitely sending me on a southern campaign! Who else could expand the empire's borders?
Putting me in charge of a region? That'll build up my credentials and help me form a faction!
Overseeing weapons production? We'll need plenty of those soon!
Supervising the Great Wall? That works too!]
“Go farm!”
[Oh, farming? Wait, what?! Farming?!]
Over time, it was as if Lou Zhaoming had brainwashed them. The Qin court and its officials really did escape their tragic fate,
and his status rose to The Outcast, second only to one person and above countless others.
But the problem was, it seemed that they might possibly be planning to bring down the Qin Dynasty!
Because these people thought being second to one person simply wasn't good enough!!!
