Chapter 134 Section 3 Mahout's Skills

In some parts of India, mahouts often tie an elephant to a small tree stump when it is still a calf.The little elephant wanted to play, so he struggled hard, but his strength was still weak, and he couldn't break free after all.After many failed attempts, the baby elephant finally gave up and accepted his fate of being imprisoned by the tree stump.When the baby elephant grows into an elephant, it is easy for it to break free from the tree stump, but the impression of defeat in childhood is so strong that it has formed a mindset and lost the desire and courage to break free.Without trying again, it took it for granted that the stump was its destiny from which it could never escape.

Hu Hai is the baby elephant, and Zhao Gao is the elephant trainer and stake. When Hu Hai was a child, Zhao Gao had already become his personal teacher, educating him, pampering him, and standing firmly by his side to protect him.In the eyes of Hu Hai when he was a child, Zhao Gaonai was a wise teacher and a strong man, the most trustworthy and dependable person in the world.The childhood impression was so strong that even after Hu Hai became the second emperor, he still had the same emotion for Zhao Gao.He never thought about it, in fact, as long as he gave an order, Zhao Gao could be killed.He never thought about it, now it is Zhao Gao who needs to rely on him, not him who needs to rely on Zhao Gao.

Judging from Hu Hai's character, he is not a qualified leader either, he seems to prefer to be led by others.Of course, this person refers specifically to his teacher Zhao Gao.It would be best for Zhao Gao to take care of all the ideas for him, so as not to waste his brain and energy. That being the case, Zhao Gao naturally did his part, and regarded himself as the emperor's teacher, taming Hu Hai to the point of obedience.In fact, Hu Hai relied on Zhao Gao so much that if Zhao Gao hadn't been an eunuch, Hu Hai would almost have wanted to honor him as Zhongfu. Hu Hai's failed wish was later realized by Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty for him.Emperor Ling of the Han favored eunuchs Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others, and often declared to the outside world: "Zhang Changshi is my father, and Zhao Changshi is my mother." It can be seen that Emperor Han Ling had foreseen it nearly two thousand years ago. Therefore, asexual reproduction is entirely possible.

Let’s talk about Hu Hai chatting with Zhao Gao that day, suddenly thinking, and sighed sadly, "The late emperor suffered so much for his immortality, so he couldn’t succeed in the end. I ask myself that his wisdom and prestige are far inferior to those of the late emperor. I am afraid that becoming an immortal is even more hopeless." .” Zhao Gao replied, "Immortal medicine is a nonsense story, it was fabricated by sorcerers to deceive the late emperor. Since your majesty has no intention of seeking medicine from immortals, it is better to enjoy life in time." Hu Hai said, "That's exactly what I mean. Living in the world, madam, it's like riding six steeds across a decisive gap. Now that I have ruled the world, I want to know what my ears and eyes like, and what I want to be happy with. I am happy with the ancestral temple , I will have the world forever, and I will live forever, what is the way?"

Zhao Gao was overjoyed, knowing that his chance to take revenge on Meng Tian had come.Meng Tian is different from Meng Yi. Meng Tian has made great achievements in the world, holds a heavy army, and has unshakable authority in the army and the court.Although Zhao Gao deliberately wanted to put Meng Tian to death, he couldn't find the right time.Now, the opportunity finally came.
