This happened in the last year of his reign (about 200 BC).

Based on Zhao Gao, the great nobleman, King Qin II was subdued for being docile.

It's just a stamp

One day, Zhao Gao wanted to test who was loyal...so he tried.

In a strange way... As the noble meeting was about to end... Zhao Gao ordered the people to lead the deer in.

and said to the emperor,

"Please look

This horse is so beautiful, it's a rare item, the crown has arrived.

Therefore, I would like to offer to His Majesty the King.”

Qin Ershi spoke with astonishment.

“I saw that it was a deer, why did you say it was a horse?”

Zhao Gao's expression was calm.

seriously

“Your Majesty, look carefully.

This is a great horse.”

Qin Er Shi's face was half disbelieving and half disbelieving.

Zhao Gao had a chance.

pointing to the nobility

“If His Highness does not believe

It's like a new country's parliament.

The two nobles raised their reasons for an argument, their faces turning red.

End of the meeting that looks superficial

No one benefited, only Zhao Gao was able to complete it.

By that time he was clear.

Whoever is a friend, who is an enemy, the friend rewards, and the enemy is relieved.
