Introduction
On a cold night in Xianyang Palace, Zhao Gao closed his eyes in the severe pain of being cut in half. In his ears was the wail of Qin II's destruction, and in front of his eyes was the tragic scene of the Qin Dynasty falling apart. He hated himself for being a traitor and harming the country in the past, hated Li Si's compromise, Hu Hai's ignorance, and even more hated himself for ruining the life-long efforts of the First Emperor. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in 215 BC. He was still the official of the CRRC beside the First Emperor, but those eyes that were once filled with sinister birds of prey were filled with guilt and the desire to protect the Qin Dynasty.
Fate gave him the most bizarre gift - Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng could hear his voice clearly. When the voice of "Your Majesty needs to guard against the changes in the sand dunes, although Li Si is a virtuous man, he is powerful, and the Meng brothers can be trusted to be loyal and brave" reached the ears of the First Emperor. The suspicious emperor was shocked and began to examine this "reformed" minister. Zhao Gao abandoned his cunning and cunning in his previous life and took the initiative to teach the princes and princesses with his talents. He taught students in accordance with their aptitude, taught Fu Su well and made up for his shortcomings of benevolence and softness; he was strict and kind to Hu Hai, changing his stubborn nature; he enlightened the princesses and taught them strategies to stabilize the country.
In the court, he and Li Si complemented each other, praising his Legalist strategy and advising him to abandon his selfishness; on the border, he made plans for Meng Tian, helping him attack the Huns from the north and build the Great Wall, showing the generals and ministers were harmonious; in the inner court, he and Meng Yi worked together to clean up the administration and prevent the breeding of traitors. The First Emperor relied on Zhao Gao, trusted Mengshi, and reused Li Si. The emperor and his ministers worked together to build a solid foundation for the Qin Dynasty.
The traitorous officials who misled the country in the past have now become the pillars of the country; the dandy princes and princesses have all become pillars of talent. Zhao Gao, with his dedication and determination to die, assisted the First Emperor to continue the prosperous age, resolve the hidden dangers of the old nobles of the six countries, balance the power of the court, and let the Qin Dynasty shine brighter on the eve of the storm. This is a legend of a loyal minister's counterattack, and it is also an elegy and rebirth of the prosperous age of the Qin Dynasty.
Concept: The core concept of this work revolves around "redemption and reconstruction", using Zhao Gao's loyalty and bravery after his rebirth as a clue to connect the four dimensions of personal atonement, monarch-minister relationship, talent cultivation and dynasty preservation. It not only digs into the fetters of individual destiny and the destiny of the family and country, but also explores the nature of power, human nature and governance.
