As the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng had always thought his son Ying Yun was a good-for-nothing who cared only about eating, drinking, and having fun, until one day he suddenly gained the ability to hear Ying Yun's thoughts.
Minister: "The Empire's cavalry is invincible in the world. Your Majesty will surely rule Qin for all eternity!"
Ying Yun: [The Empire's cavalry? I've got a hundred thousand special forces! I'll crush you in a matter of minutes!]
Ying Zheng: ???
Minister: "The man we just killed was an envoy from the Great Jin. If they demand an explanation, Qin could be dragged into a terrible war!"
Ying Yun: [The Great Jin is nothing. I'll lead a million cavalrymen on an expedition and take them down in five days!]
Ying Zheng: ???
Ying Yun: [I need to keep the Sword Saint Gai Nie and the God of War Wu Qi hidden. They're both part of my plans to rebel, so I can't let anyone find out!]
Ying Zheng: Having those two legendary figures is one thing, but you even have the God of Killing Bai Qi?!
Years later, Qin launched an overseas campaign and suffered a defeat.
Minister: "The countries across the ocean have a weapon called a gun. It can kill enemies from a hundred meters away. It's terrifying. We just can't beat them!"
As everyone stood at a loss, Ying Yun shouted, "Second Battalion Commander, bring me my Italian cannon!"
The ministers then watched a million overseas soldiers fall beneath the artillery fire. Everyone was stunned, finally realizing just how terrifying Ying Yun was.
When the ministers learned that Ying Yun intended to rebel, they immediately joined in a memorial to the throne: "Your Majesty, abdicate at once, or the prince will rebel!"
