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

Listening to Gao Yao's talk, Young Master Gao was indeed persuaded. There was also a hesitation in his eyes, as if he was struggling. But Gao Yao was not in a hurry.

Gao Yao knew very well that behind Gongzi Gao stood Feng Quji, who was also the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. Although his reputation was not as high as Li Si's, it did not mean that he was incompetent. Otherwise, how could he have been able to sit in the position of prime minister?

Gongzi Gao may not be able to see many things clearly, but in order to obtain the intelligence that Gao wanted, Gongzi Gao had often gone to Feng Quji's mansion to ask for advice. It is impossible for Feng Quji not to be able to see the future changes in the situation of the Qin Dynasty and the changes in the court now.

Qin Shi Huang did have problems in choosing his heirs. On the one hand, he was slow to determine Fusu's position as successor, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to delegate power and allow Fusu to participate in court affairs. Fusu did have problems, but some people could understand Qin Shi Huang's reluctance to delegate power and his move to demote Fusu to the northern border, but some people did not.

"General Gao Yao is loyal and courageous, which is really admirable."

"I dare not, sir. I am only telling the truth. It's just that I am in a somewhat awkward position in the court now. Although I am lucky enough to receive the favor of your majesty, who allowed me to pacify the southern border, in your majesty's eyes, let alone the Meng family, even generals such as Wang Ben and Zhang Han are far superior to me. Why should I embarrass myself?"

"Of course I am willing to believe the general's words, but I am afraid this matter still needs to be considered carefully."

"It's alright, sir. It's getting late today. I'll take my leave for now. If you need to see me anytime, just let me know. If you plan to leave and need me to show up, I'll show up."

"General Gao Yao, take care"

"Sir, please stay."

After Gao Yao saluted, he slowly stepped back, left the post station and went straight back home. Gao Yao knew very well that it would not do to act too hastily, and the seeds had already been planted. Gao Yao knew very well that Gongzi Gao in history was willing to sacrifice himself for his family. This could be seen from the fact that Gongzi Gao saw many things very clearly, and knew that Hu Hai would not let him go, so he took the initiative to ask for death to save the lives of his family. This kind of courage alone is not something that ordinary people can possess.

This also shows that Gongzi Gao himself is a person who knows how to make choices and cares about his life and property. Knowing that there are such risks, he still wants to stay in Xianyang. It is not certain whether this is a smart move.

When Gao Yao returned to the mansion, the first thing he did was to take off his heavy noble clothes and stretch his body. At this time, Lu Zhi was serving him very attentively. After Lu Zhi recovered from the confinement, she would do it herself as long as she was at home. After Gao Yao came back, Lu Su was lucky enough to get pregnant, and even Yu Shu was pregnant. It was a state of continuous happiness.

"My husband, who on earth is this person that deserves your seriousness?"

"Haha, Mr. Gao"

"Hmm? Husband, you mean..." Hearing this, Lu Zhi was also slightly stunned.

"Yes, that's the one you were thinking of."

"My dear, I didn't hear any sound. I'm afraid this young man came here on his own."

"Yes, he did come here on his own, and he didn't want to make it public. This time he just came to test the waters. Who can tell what will happen in the future?"

As Gao Yao spoke, he sat down at his desk again and began to check the intelligence that had been passed on to him from various places. Many of these intelligence were collected from various places in a regular way.

This information includes the prices of grain, commodities, minerals, and even the price of labor, as well as corvee labor. Wars are fought for money and grain, and people's livelihood is still inseparable from the two words money and grain. Through these prices, we can understand the population situation, military resources, and personnel situation in various places, and we can also understand the situation of the people in various places.

The simplest one is that if the price of food in a certain place is too high, the people will complain, and more and more bandits and even rebellions will appear. At the same time, if the price of ore is rising, it means that weapons are being stockpiled there. These are all chain reactions, and a lot of things can be inferred from these things.

While Gao Yao was checking the intelligence, Lü Zhi ordered someone to bring him tea and began to massage Gao Yao's shoulders to relax him. When Gao Yao passed on the intelligence from Xianyang, he was stunned and stared at the information in disbelief.

"Zhao Gao... this..."

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Gao Yao's condition was not right, Lu Zhi asked hurriedly, and Gao Yao simply waved his hand. However, Gao Yao was extremely shocked at this time. He was Gao Yao, and Gao Yao would become Zhao Gao. Now that he was no longer in Xianyang, there was naturally no Zhao Gao.

The report from Xianyang specifically mentioned Zhao Gao, the newly appointed Minister of the Imperial Chariots who had taken office more than a month ago. This instantly made Gao Yao uneasy. Theoretically, it was absolutely impossible for Zhao Gao to appear, but now he appeared. Besides himself, the only person who knew about this was Yi Xiaochuan.

But according to Gao Yao's information, Yi Xiaochuan is now in the Northern Border Army, and his position has been promoted very quickly. Since Yi Xiaochuan is in the Northern Border, what is the matter with Zhao Gao in Xianyang? This unknown situation makes Gao Yao a little irritated.

"My dear, is there something bothering you? If you don't mind, can you tell me about it? Maybe I can help you analyze it."

"You don't understand. This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in just a few words."

"My dear husband, I naturally dare not say that I can help you solve the problem, but I can help you sort out the thoughts of women, which are quite delicate. Or I can help you sort out the situation from the beginning. As long as I can help you solve one or two problems, it will be enough."

"Wait, you just said to start from the beginning. Yes, I didn't expect that, Beiyanshanren, so this is what happened."

At the beginning, Gao Yao was indeed a little impatient. Suddenly, a completely unexpected situation occurred, which made Gao Yao unable to calm down immediately, and he still involuntarily put himself into Zhao Gao's perspective. At this time, after Lu Zhi's review and the reminder of the two sentences from the beginning, Gao Yao finally understood the problem.
