Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 128: When the military generals start to flatter, the literati have no chance!

At this time, Qin Shihuang's words were not polite at all, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be a question, but was actually a low and terrible question, which made Yi Xiaochuan sweat.

"His Majesty......"

"Meng Tian, ​​are you going to go against my will too?"

Seeing that Yi Xiaochuan had no idea how to start, Meng Tian wanted to speak up to help Yi Xiaochuan. Qin Shihuang just said one sentence and Meng Tian shut up and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

Gao Yao, who was watching this scene at the side, did not feel very happy. Instead, he had more insights into the Qin Shi Huang above. It turned out that no one in this world could be underestimated, especially Qin Shi Huang. With just a few words, Gao Yao's original plan in the court was completely disrupted.

Gao Yao originally planned to let Yi Xiaochuan accuse him, and then he would refute it, causing controversy while letting Qin Shihuang see his ability, and successfully enter Qin Shihuang's field of vision. However, Qin Shihuang's direct attack was completely beyond Gao Yao's expectations. At this time, Li Mo finally saw Li Si who had been waiting on the side in his peripheral vision.

In an instant, Gao Yao's original puzzlement in his mind was solved. It was Li Si. No wonder Qin Shi Huang seemed to have a complete grasp of the matter. It turned out that he was being used as a gun by Li Si. As expected, there was no simple guy who could become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Although in this world, Li Si's son Li You became Meng Tian's disciple, there is one thing that is certain and there is no doubt that Li Si and Fusu are in a state of tit-for-tat. Under normal circumstances, Li Si naturally dare not deal with Fusu, after all, he is the future crown prince. The problem lies in the difference in the governing philosophy of the two sides, especially when Qin Shihuang's health is deteriorating.

Once Fusu officially came to power, given his character, he would definitely put Confucianism first before the enfeoffment, and then guide the various schools of thought into the court. By then, the current political situation dominated by Legalism in the court would be destroyed, and Li Si's power would also plummet. Even if Fusu began to support more people to enter the court, without the protection of Qin Shihuang, Li Si could imagine the future results.

As Fusu's most loyal supporter, Meng Tian would naturally welcome the opportunity to strike Li Si. However, at Li Si's level, no matter how he strikes, he will do it without bloodshed. Even if he wants to embarrass Meng Tian, ​​he will never really do it himself, but will choose to kill with someone else's knife.

Now Gao Yao is very clear that his cooperation with Li Si has ultimately made him the knife. His cooperation with Li Si has ultimately been used by Li Si. As a result, no matter whether his actions against the Meng family are successful or not, Gao Yao will be the only one who bears the consequences.

"Gao Yao..."

"His Majesty"

"Your crime of assassinating Meng Yi is unforgivable, especially when he was protecting Hu Hai. Your crime is unforgivable."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Gao Yao's words at this time stunned everyone present. Meng Tian had not expected it, Yi Xiaochuan had not expected it either, and even Li Si had a look of astonishment on his face. This was completely different from what he had expected. This was something Li Si had not expected, and even Qin Shihuang, who was sitting on the throne, perked up a little. Normally, Gao Yao should have made an explanation at this time, but Gao Yao had no intention of making an explanation at all.

"So, you admit that you attacked Meng Yi?"

"Gao Yao, anyone who dares to speak nonsense in front of His Majesty will surely die."

As Qin Shi Huang finished speaking, Li Si on the side also gave Gao Yao a timely warning. His purpose was very clear, which was to tell Gao Yao that if he continued to play like this, he would kill himself.

"If your majesty says yes, then it is. If your majesty says no, then it is not. Whether it is yes or no, I will leave it entirely to your majesty's decision. Now that I have been summoned by your majesty, your majesty already knows the reason in his heart, and I will obey your command."

After Gao Yao said this, Meng Tian on the side looked very ugly, Yi Xiaochuan almost called Gao Yao shameless, and even Li Si was shocked when he heard Gao Yao's words. How could this be something a military general would say?

Gao Yao's words fully demonstrated his loyalty. The meaning was very clear. If Qin Shihuang said yes, it was also yes. If Qin Shihuang said no, it was also yes and no. It also directly stated that Qin Shihuang had already figured out everything before summoning them. This was equivalent to saying how wise and powerful Qin Shihuang was. Every word was not directly stated, but was flattering Qin Shihuang. Even in the court, such a shrewd person was very rare.

"What if I just want to hear you say it?"

"If your majesty wants me to speak, then I will speak."

"Say it"

"Here"

Listening to Qin Shi Huang's tone, Gao Yao was slightly relieved at this time. He could hear that Qin Shi Huang's tone had changed. If there had not been the previous comparison, Gao Yao's behavior would not have been so obvious. However, Meng Tian interrupted to protect Meng Yi, and Gao Yao remained silent, which formed a sharp contrast with Qin Shi Huang's reaction of saying that if someone was guilty, then he was guilty.

"Lord Meng Yi, I have no objection to what you said. We did have some grudges between us, but in order to avoid conflicts when we were in the southern border, apart from being responsible for your daily life, I only saw you three times from beginning to end, and each time was no more than a quarter of an hour. General Meng Tian, ​​if I may say something disrespectful, given your prestige in the Qin army, you do not take my title seriously."

"Our Great Qin is famous for its powerful army, sweeping across the world. Your Majesty is wise, and has inspired the remaining power of six generations. You have wielded long-term strategies to rule the world, swallowed up the two Zhous and destroyed the princes. You have assumed the supreme power to control the world, and you have whipped the world with a whip. Your majesty is powerful all over the world. General Meng Yi is a famous general who is highly valued by your majesty. How could I not know? Today, the prime minister is here again. In the past, I repeatedly begged the prime minister many times before the prime minister was willing to give me advice. Your majesty must know the situation in the southern border. I took the initiative to retreat to the southern border to avoid having anything to do with General Meng Tian or the Meng family."

"After arriving in the southern border, I dare not say that I have made great contributions, but under your majesty's decree, I actively built Nanhai, Guilin, Xiangjun, and three counties. Thanks to your majesty's benevolence in exempting taxes, the total population of the foreign races in the southern border has now exceeded one million. General Meng Yi and the young master went to the southern border. Your majesty must be very clear about this matter. This matter is not within Gao Yao's ability. Let alone the young master, I am afraid that even Lord Meng Yi will not listen to me."
