anyways i love the hypothesis that zhao gao was so surnamed because he was from the state of zhao (of brutally destroyed by qin fame) and his whole tenure as an integral part of the qin court was a very very slow and utterly effective revenge campaign

In which Zhao Gao keeps the Qin Emperor isolated and feeds into his ever-growing paranoia. notes: Crown Prince Fusu, eldest son of QSH, was recorded as being popular and kind-hearted. He was exiled to the northern frontier for daring to speak up to his father about the deplorable civil rights of the empire. (Think Prince Zuko from avatar). As far as I know the decision to exile him was all QSH's, very par for the course, no meddling required, but it does strike me as rather lenient for a man of his reputation. he might have genuinely liked Fusu, so wouldn't it be interesting if he expressed regrets about this towards the end of his life, as he lies there isolated, dying, and without a proper heir? if I was Zhao Gao trying to topple the Qin, I would do everything in my power to keep the most experienced, powerful, not to mention popular crown prince (and his loyal war-hero general) far, far away from court, and promote his youngest brother, who is a malleable teenager that i've been grooming for years. "men are naturally inclined to evil" is a corruption of the confucian saying "people are born kind". QSH was the posterboy for legalism, which can be (simplisticly) summed up in Zhao Gao's "might makes right" speech. "strict statues...needful bits" pay tribute to shakespere's measure for measure. mercury was not known to be poisionous until the tang dynasty, so we have to discount Zhao Gao poisioning him on purpose, but Zhao Gao has eyes, and must see that it's definitely not improving QSH's condition. you could also interpret it as him tacitly encouraging QSH to chase after immortality and neglect affairs of state.

Edit : Can't believe I have to add this in but the human in the picture is NOT Stanford Pines from hit cartoon Gravity Falls. Gabby is a self insert, which means he's literally based off of me. READ THE TEXT AND THE TAGS. istg people 💀

I was really looking forward to reading this, I thought the narrative voice was really strong, and I wanted to show you all just how wet and pathetic Zhao Gao sounds in my head. If anyone deserves a little bit of usurpation later in life, it's this guy.
