1. Rebirth and Awakening: The souls of modern people travel through time, take over the imperial power of the Qin Dynasty that just took over, quickly adapt to their identities, and understand the structure of the court (Zhao Gao's dictatorship, Li Si's swaying, clan disunity, and military factions) and the hidden dangers in the world (excessive corvee, boiling public resentment, and undercurrents of the remaining forces of the Six Kingdoms).
2. Seize power and eliminate traitors: Pretend to be forbearing and paralyze Zhao Gao, unite military loyalists (such as the remnants of the Meng clan, grassroots generals) and upright bureaucrats, design to cut off Zhao Gao's party members and clean up the eunuchs who are disrupting the government; divide and win over Li Si, control the power of the prime minister, or replace him with a close and capable minister, and completely control the decision-making power of the court.
3. Slow down the government and stabilize the people: urgently stop redundant infrastructure such as Afang Palace and Lishan Mausoleum, reduce excessive corvee taxes, correct loopholes in cruel laws (relaxing penalties for non-malignant crimes, and protecting basic rights and interests of the people), distribute disaster relief food funds to appease the disaster-stricken areas, quickly suppress imminent civil uprisings such as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, or quell initial small-scale uprisings and stabilize civil order.
4. Control the military power: go to the military camp to reward soldiers, promote capable generals from poor families, integrate the border defense armies (Mengtian's old army to resist the Xiongnu in the north, and the army to conquer Baiyue in the south), establish the emperor's absolute control over the army, and eliminate dissident forces in the military.
5. Initial rectification of internal affairs: Sorting out the bureaucracy, streamlining redundant agencies, employing hard-working officials, initially standardizing local governance, curbing corruption among local officials, and laying the foundation for subsequent reforms.
