Since the Chen Sheng and Guangwu incidents, rebels have appeared everywhere. At this time, Qin Ershi listened to the doctor Zhao Gao's advice and lived in the palace. All political affairs are decided by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao bears a grudge against Reese, so Zhao Gao took the opportunity to frame Reese for trying to cede territory to be king, and framed Li You, the son of Reese, as the chief of Sanchuan County, for having an affair with the insurgents. Reese tried to intercede, but was detained by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao sent people to search for Lisi clan and tortured Lisi. Unable to stand the torture, Li Si was forced to confess. In August of the second year of Qin Ershi (208 BC), Lisi was beheaded in Xianyang, and the three clans were destroyed. After Reese's death, Qin Ershi appointed Zhao Gao as Prime Minister, regardless of size, it was up to Zhao Gao to decide.
