Night fell.
Lin Yi, as usual, ended his live stream. Apart from the time in the tomb of the Seven-Star Lu King, he had never worked overtime at night to do a live stream.
The visitors, viewers, and fans in the live stream room had also gotten used to it, 8 AM and 8 PM.
At this moment, Lin Yi summoned the left guardian of the截教 (Jie Jiao) sect, Li Si, and Gao Yao, who had just been promoted to the head of the imperial kitchen.
Lin Yi sat in the main seat, looking at Li Si and Gao Yao on either side, and asked calmly, "Gao Yao, are you willing to join our Jie Jiao sect?"
"I am willing."
Gao Yao was puzzled, wondering why Lin Yi had summoned him. He was thinking about how to get close to the National Master, but he never expected the National Master to invite him to join the sect on his own.
He immediately agreed, somewhat excitedly.
Li Si looked at Gao Yao, also puzzled. Was a mere head of the imperial kitchen worth the sect leader summoning personally?
After all, every official in the court, the noble families, and the remnants of the six states, all joined the sect either openly or secretly.
Lin Yi then looked at Li Si and said calmly, "Prime Minister, there is an important matter at hand that I need to discuss with you."
"Please instruct, Sect Leader." Li Si had personally witnessed Lin Yi's "magic" and later the "immortal artifacts," truly believing him to be a celestial being.
He was already completely devoted to Sect Leader Lin, who had promised him a share of the elixir of immortality.
That was immortality!
Lin Yi said calmly, "I observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that the imperial star is dim and will soon fall."
"What?" Li Si was shocked. The fall of the imperial star meant that the emperor... was going to die?
Gao Yao looked at Lin Yi with some surprise. He knew that Qin Shi Huang wouldn't live much longer. This "Temporal Administration Bureau" person was really good at bluffing!
Seeing Li Si's foolish expression, he thought, "He's still the Prime Minister, yet he's so easily fooled."
Lin Yi said calmly, "The elixir of immortality still needs some time to be refined, and the emperor may not be able to wait that long."
He paused and continued, "I summoned you today for this matter. I calculated that after the emperor's passing, Prince Hu Hai will be the new ruler!"
Gao Yao thought to himself, "You're just bluffing. Historically, wasn't it Hu Hai who inherited the throne?"
Li Si fell silent. The news he just heard was too shocking. The emperor was going to die soon?
He didn't expect that the sect leader's calculation would predict that Prince Hu Hai would succeed to the throne.
This was actually a good thing!
If Qin Shi Huang passed away and Prince Fu Su succeeded, he would definitely hand over the position of Prime Minister to the highly esteemed Meng Tian. At that time, he might have to return to his hometown to farm.
However, Hu Hai lacked the talent and vision and was fond of wine and women, making it difficult for him to achieve great things.
Li Si was also calculating his own interests.
Lin Yi saw Li Si's reaction and smiled faintly, saying, "Although Prince Hu Hai is destined by heaven, he still needs capable ministers and generals to assist him. You must do your best, Prime Minister!"
Li Si's expression changed, and he finally responded respectfully, "I will follow the Sect Leader's command."
Lin Yi nodded and dismissed Li Si and Gao Yao.
He had never thought about rebelling and becoming the emperor. That wasn't something that could be achieved overnight and would delay his live streaming career.
What he needed was a stable and peaceful world to bring his mother and sister's family over temporarily, and then he could focus on his live streaming career.
Once his live streaming career was stable, he could take his mother and sister's family wherever he wanted!
With the time-travel talisman in hand, he could travel through time and space, doing whatever he wanted!
Hu Hai was Lin Yi's chosen puppet emperor. With Li Si in the civil administration and Xiang Yu in the military, plus the power of the Jie Jiao sect, stabilizing the world wouldn't be difficult.
With Yi Xiaochuan, who was mistaken by General Meng Tian as his brother "Meng Yi," taking command of the 300,000 Meng family troops, the world could be stabilized.
...
In the following days, Lin Yi returned to his daily life as a live streamer.
He would occasionally live stream his life as a "National Master" and "Sect Leader," living a very leisurely life.
Cui Wenzhi was also helping him refine the elixir of immortality, which was about to succeed.
While Lin Yi was living a leisurely life, the court was undergoing dramatic changes.
With the help of Li Si and the Jie Jiao sect, Gao Yao quickly rose to become the head eunuch of the entire palace.
Led by Li Si, the officials and eunuchs, including Gao Yao, supported Prince Hu Hai, while Prince Fu Su and General Meng Tian's faction fought against them.
The result was the same as in history. The upright Prince Fu Su and General Meng Tian were no match for Li Si and the cunning, scheming Gao Yao.
Coinciding with the invasion of the northern Rong Di, General Meng Tian led the 300,000 Meng family troops north to fight the enemy.
With Meng Tian away from Xianyang, Li Si and Gao Yao took the opportunity to frame Prince Fu Su, causing him to be exiled from Xianyang by Qin Shi Huang.
Meng Tian, who was in the northern border, received the news of Fu Su's exile and rushed back to Xianyang with his deputy and a few trusted subordinates. Just as they were about to reach Xianyang, they passed through a forest, and suddenly, a large net was cast from the sky.
With the falling net, over a hundred masked men appeared. It was clear that these men were well-trained assassins. Their agile figures moved like leaping cats, and in the blink of an eye, their knives were close to Meng Tian and his men.
Meng Tian and his men were completely unprepared and were caught off guard by the sudden attack.
These assassins were naturally organized by Li Si, including some of his own trained loyalists, as well as the forces of the noble families and the remnants of the six states within the Jie Jiao sect.
In the ambush, the famous general Meng Tian met his end.
Yi Xiaochuan, also known as Meng Tian's brother "Meng Yi," took command of the 300,000 Meng family troops and continued to fight the Rong Di.
All these events were carried out with Lin Yi's tacit approval, or even his arrangement, as the Qin Empire underwent dramatic changes.
At this time, the fate of the great emperor Qin Shi Huang also came to an end.
Gao Yao ordered the preparation of two pills, one red and one white. These two pills were made from rare poisons. Individually, they were harmless, but when taken together, they would cause immediate unconsciousness and death within seven days from bleeding from the seven orifices.
Gao Yao, now the head eunuch of the entire palace, ordered a trusted subordinate to secretly drop the red pill into a wine jug and crush the white pill and sprinkle it on one of the dishes in the imperial kitchen, then quickly leave.
The wine and dishes were prepared for Qin Shi Huang, and after he ate them, he immediately fell unconscious.
When Qin Shi Huang fell unconscious, the Qin court remained stable. Prime Minister Li Si had already made preparations, contacting the officials to stabilize the court.
In just a few months,
Lin Yi, working behind the scenes, had manipulated the fall of Qin Shi Huang and controlled the Qin court.
This feeling was very unique, as if he was playing with the entire world in the palm of his hand. The plan was proceeding step by step, completely under his control.
