【以史為鏡】千年以來，亂臣賊子是如何奪權、鬥爭、亡國的? 【三語字幕】

In 210 BC, Emperor Qin Shi Huang died at Sandhill. The eunuch Zhao Gao intercepted the succession edict and forged a command to kill the rightful heir Fusu and the great general Meng Tian, collapsing the command of 300,000 troops overnight. This episode spans 1,400 years and four empires: Zhao Gao of Qin, Liu Jishu of late Tang, the barbarian generalissimo Ricimer of Western Rome, and Andronikos of Byzantium. Four usurpers, one identical script: hijack the edict, purge the elite, invite an outside force, and collapse. The coldest conclusion lies in Ming-Qing China, where the emperor absorbed Zhao Gao's power and every check upon it into himself. When the emperor IS Zhao Gao, who needs another one?
