Why did the mighty Qin Dynasty collapse after just two emperors?

This episode dives deep into the rise and fall of Li Si — the brilliant but tragic chancellor who helped build China’s first empire, only to become one of the reasons for its collapse.
From his Legalist vision and ruthless reforms to the deadly conspiracy with Zhao Gao and his brutal execution, we reveal the true story behind one of China’s most dramatic political implosions.

Explore the philosophical conflict, court intrigue, and inner power struggles that tore the Qin apart — from within.
