Why Zhao Gao is a Traitorous Minister in Chinese History

A native of Zhao, he was born and tortured in the palace. When he grew up, he was strong and powerful, and knew the law of prisons. Emperor Qin Shi Huang heard about this, so he made him the order of the Central Cart House and taught his young son Hu He. In July 210 B.C., when Emperor Shi Huang died on a trip, Gao forged an imperial decree and re-installed Hu Hai, killing Emperor Shi Huang's eldest son, Win Fusu, twelve dukes, ten princesses, and the great generals Mengtian and the right chancellor Feng Daizhi. When Hu Hai was crowned, Gao was appointed as the Minister of Langzhong (郎中令). He killed the Prime Minister Li Si and became the Prime Minister himself, gathering great power in one person and driving the Second Emperor. He was praised as "a loyal minister who kills a lot of people", and at the time of the crisis, he killed the Second Emperor and established Win Ziying as the King of Qin. Later, he was killed by Ziying.
